Hello thefiqs & CarriePW,
yes definitively a guide would help.
thefiqs, thank you, Ok I see what you mean with recovery mode, I was looking for the download mode (usb connection) to make sure I can get back to stock rom when needed...
I don't believe that you can flash back stock rom with recovery mode
Thefiqs me again, did you install cwm (clockworkmod) or did you use the standard factory recovery mode ?
I would prefer using a pc tool to tweak
I will have to find the usb drivers for the i20
I am not sure odin will work as the firmware is .rar extension not .tar
(in this case I am wondering which flashtool to use with which process steps)
flashing N2 rom with zip extension should not be a problem with recovery mode as I understood but I don't think it will work with .rar
I still investigating...
Hello pueblohost,
Just one advice, before flashing the N1 rom (it should work as they share the same hardware) onto the i10,
I would recommend you to understand how to get back to stock I10 firmware when needed.
Just in case you have bugs.
xda thread is I think a good reference as they have plenty of skilled people there
I think that to go back to stock rom it's needed to have a pc flash tool (I do not know which one at this step and with which process steps
stock rom for i20 is .rar, maybe there is a specific process and flashtool which could be the same for I20 hopefully
If I find the info, I will share
I meant I10 & I20 should have the same flashtool and process steps hopefully...
PS; I will not upgrade rom until I understand all this as I don't want to brick the phone ( I did already on a samsung...:-) but I succeed afterwards to install custom rom and get back to stock rom . when you understand risk is very low almost like flashing PC or graphic bios ;-)
Just unpack the .rar. You will find all, you need. I'm used the standard recovery tool. And yes, you can't go back to 00.04 if you install the newman 00.22. I'm still waitning Carrie's translate/guide.
Btw I don't think I10 and I20 using same method, but who knows.

Thanks Carrie for updating the first post. Btw the drivers included for the I20 only for 32bit Windows, so don't try with 64bit.

Game of Thrones is a homily about a great civilization beginning to tear itself apart. In this sense it is a very sad tale. But in the life of our grandparents we have suffered many such "sad stories of the death of kings." But Martin's mythic tales are not just about the death of kings. They are about us.
People who forget or ignore major events in world history can be said to suffer from "historical amnesia." Though this mindset cannot be cured in one short blog post, I hope to dispel some of the stereotypes and misperceptions by highlighting the contributions that Muslims have made to civilization.

- Keywords ui-focus added; ui-feedback removed
Not sure - would want to know if this is something generally desirable or considered distracting. It's a pretty common pattern but that doesn't make it not distracting, especially when hover already brings up other things like row action links.
If this were to happen, patches would need to consider the blue color scheme and perhaps the zebra striping. Also contrast, especially between background and foreground.
comment:2 @SergeyBiryukov — 3 years ago
- Version changed from trunk to 3.5
comment:3 @nacin — 3 years ago
As a common pattern, it really only makes sense if you're dealing with an absolute ton of data or if the hover then signifies that the row can be clicked. Differentiating rows is very much mitigated by the zebra-striping. This is a wontfix in my book.
comment:4 @MikeHansenMe — 3 years ago
- Cc mdhansen@… added
I like this addition. I do think it is most useful when there is a ton of data but do not think it is distracting with little amounts. It also helps the eye follow which row you are looking at(beyond the existing zebra stripe). Perhaps we should leave this open to get a few more opinions.
@MikeHansenMe — 2 years ago
Adds transparent color on hover to match Blue and Gray color schemes
comment:5 @sillybean — 2 years ago
I like the idea, but I agree with Helen that it could easily become a distraction on tables that already change things on hover, like the quick edit links.
What if, instead of adding this to all widefat tables, we add a new class, highlight? It would be available to core/plugin devs but not applied by default.
comment:6 @helen — 21 months ago
- Milestone Awaiting Review deleted
- Resolution set to wontfix
- Status changed from new to closed
There are some helper classes in core now for highlight colors and such, which can be further refined generically in another ticket or elsewhere if so desired. Closing this as wontfix, per nacin's comment and my own concerns.

Why study abroad? Ask Michelle Obama
Walking in Someone Else's Shoes
Having spent 11 years living abroad in Europe and Asia with my family, my junior year studying in China unexpectedly changed my life the most. As I am majoring in Chinese Language and Culture at Washington State University, I knew I was bound to study abroad. I assumed it would simply be a fun trip, but little did I know how much it would change who I am today.
I had the opportunity to spend two semesters with the CET Intensive Mandarin Language Programs in Beijing and Harbin. The following summer, I was invited to participate in the South China Internship Program in Guangzhou. My original purpose for studying abroad was to improve my Mandarin language skills; however these programs pushed me to explore all aspects of the Chinese culture. By completely immersing myself in the Chinese culture, I was able to develop a deeper understanding for the Chinese people and their perspectives. I strongly believe only through immersing ourselves in other cultures will we be able to understand each other's backgrounds and truly become a globalized world.
I would like to ask the First Lady, Michelle Obama, how she believes studying abroad will benefit students' employment opportunities.

Disabled Parents Face Bias, Loss of Kids: Report
Millions of Americans with disabilities have gained innumerable rights and opportunities since Congress passed landmark legislation on their behalf in 1990. And yet advocates say barriers and bias still abound when it comes to one basic human right: To be a parent.
A Kansas City, Mo., couple had their daughter taken into custody by the state two days after her birth because both parents were blind. A Chicago mother, because she is quadriplegic, endured an 18-month legal battle to keep custody of her young son. A California woman paid an advance fee to an adoption agency, then was told she might be unfit to adopt because she has cerebral palsy.
Such cases are found nationwide, according to a new report by the National Council on Disability, an independent federal agency. The 445-page document is viewed by the disability-rights community as by far the most comprehensive ever on the topic - simultaneously an encyclopedic accounting of the status quo and an emotional plea for change.
"Parents with disabilities continue to be the only distinct community that has to fight to retain - and sometimes gain - custody of their own children," said autism-rights activist Ari Ne'eman, a member of the council. "The need to correct this unfair bias could not be more urgent or clear."
The U.S. legal system is not adequately protecting the rights of parents with disabilities, the report says, citing child welfare laws in most states allowing courts to determine that a parent is unfit on the basis of a disability. Terminating parental rights on such grounds "clearly violates" the intent of the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act, the report contends.
Child-welfare experts, responding to the report, said they shared its goals of expanding supports for disabled parents and striving to keep their families together. But they said removals of children from their parents - notably in cases of significant intellectual disabilities - are sometimes necessary even if wrenching.
"At the end of the day, the child's interest in having permanence and stability has to be the priority over the interests of their parents," said Judith Schagrin, a veteran child-welfare administrator in Maryland.
In the bulk of difficult cases, ensuring vital support for disabled parents may be all that's needed to eliminate risks or lessen problems, many advocates say.
The new report, titled "Rocking the Cradle: Ensuring the Rights of Parents with Disabilities and Their Children," estimates that 6.1 million U.S. children have disabled parents. It says these parents are more at risk than other parents of losing custody of their children, including removal rates as high as 80 percent for parents with psychiatric or intellectual disabilities.
Parents with all types of disabilities - physical or mental - are more likely to lose custody of their children after divorce, have more difficulty accessing assisted-reproductive treatments to bear children, and face significant barriers to adopting children, the report says.
One of the cases it details involved Erika Johnson and Blake Sinnett of Kansas City, whose 2-day-old daughter, Mikaela, was taken into custody by Missouri authorities because both parents were blind. The action occurred after a hospital nurse reported that Johnson seemed to be having trouble with her first attempts at breast-feeding - which Johnson said happens with many first-time mothers.
During a 57-day legal battle, before the couple regained custody, they were allowed to visit Mikaela only two to three times a week, for an hour at a time, with a foster parent monitoring.
Since then, the family has been left in peace, said Johnson, who tries to offer support to other disabled parents facing similar challenges.
"Some parents just give up or don't have the resources," she said in a telephone interview.
A Windsor, Colo., woman with disabilities says the prejudice she encountered prompted her to go to law school, to better defend her own rights and those of other disabled parents.
Carrie Ann Lucas uses a power wheelchair and is reliant on a ventilator due to a form of muscular dystrophy. She is a single mother of four adopted children, ages 22, 17, 13 and 11, all of whom also have disabilities, including two who use wheelchairs and three with intellectual disabilities.
Lucas says she's been the subject of several investigations by child welfare officials that she attributed to bias linked to her disabilities.
"Each one of these referrals that gets accepted for investigation causes a great deal of stress, not only for me, but for my children," Lucas wrote in an email.
She said the investigations dated back to her first efforts to adopt Heather, her biological niece, in 1999, after the girl was placed in foster care. At one point in a long procedural struggle, a social worker told a judge that "there was no way that handicapped woman could care for that handicapped child."
"We are nearly 13 years later, and Heather is still doing very well," Lucas wrote.
As a lawyer, Lucas has represented many other parents with disabilities.
"I have had parents with paralysis be threatened with removal of their children, deaf parents punished for using sign language with their hearing children, and blind parents told that a social worker can't possibly fathom how they could parent a newborn," Lucas said. "When families do need intervention, it is often because the services they need are not available outside a punitive social services case."
The lead author of the new report, disability-rights lawyer Robyn Powell, says her goal was to challenge presumptions that disabled people can't be effective parents.
"Of course there are going to be some parents with disabilities who would be lousy parents - that's the same with parents without disabilities," she said. "If there is neglect, is it due to the disability? And can it be rectified by providing the necessary support?"
Ella Callow, a lawyer with the National Center for Parents with Disabilities and their Families, said the report raises fundamental questions about America's social priorities - given that state and federal laws value both the well-being of children and the rights of disabled people. The ultimate goal, she said, would be to promote both values by expanding support for disabled parents.
"If we really believe that families are the key unit on which society is built, then we have to enable these families to be healthy and functioning, even at public expense," Callow said. "We know foster care isn't a good place for children to be - they do better with their own parents, at their own home."
Callow, who is based in Berkeley, Calif., said child welfare agencies need to provide more funding and specialized training with the aim of improving services for disabled parents.
"Child welfare is so incredibly underfunded, and the workers are so incredibly overwhelmed, their attitude is, 'Really, you want my attention on this?'" Callow said. "There's a tendency to think these families aren't the same as our families. But these children, when they lose their families, have the same type of grief."
Schagrin, the Maryland child-welfare official, said she found parts of the report troubling because they seemed to suggest children were sometimes removed from their families only on account of parental disabilities.

Exposure to different experiences at Lake Superior State University helped me to learn and decide what I wanted to do with my life. There were many opportunities to help my learning experience, including day and weekend trips to various geological sites. It wasn't all travel though; there was lots of hands-on experience that helped demonstrate what we learned in lectures.
Nicole Anderson
NAEVA Geophysics, Inc
"Entering Lake Superior State University in the fall of 2001, I worked as a research assistant in geomagnetics from 2003 through 2005. In the spring of 2005, I received my Bachelor's of Science Degree in Geology from Lake Superior State University, and in the fall, I entered the University of Texas at El Paso graduate school pursuing a Master's of Science in Geology. While working on this degree, I was awarded a teaching assistantship. And I also received internship with Chevron Corp. in New Orleans, Louisiana, working as a geologist in the summer of 2006 exploring offshore deposits of hydrocarbons. Chevron offered me a full time position as a geologist upon completion of his Master's Degree in the spring of 2007, which I accepted."
"I was initially attracted to the LSSU Geology Department by the advanced courses that were offered. Tectonics Systems was my favorite class, teaching me how dynamic an earth we live on and how tectonic systems evolve. The class involved a weeklong trip across the Appalachian Mountains studying its formation and mountain building system. The LSSU Geology Department prepared me well for graduate school and for a professional career. Peers and colleagues are impressed with Lake Superior State's graduates and our exposure to the different facets of geology. My LSSU studies took me to Northern Ontario, the Appalachian Mountains, Rocky Mountains, Black Hills and the American Southwest. It also provided me with multiple opportunities on the professional level, such as offers from energy and environmental companies."
--David Moore Tatum

LSSU students Joe Lori and Dan LaPorte collected samples in New Mexico and Joe is now completing laboratory data collection and analysis at LSSU. The New Mexico project is a collaborative magnetic/paleontological study with Drs. Lew Brown (LSSU) and Carl Rexroad (Indiana Geological Survey). The focus of this project is understanding paleoclimate change and how it is preserved in the geologic record. Students will ultimately present their results by means of oral and/or written publications at the national level.
"The education I received from LSSU has made it very easy to advance in my career. I learned a great deal of knowledge regarding the field of geology as well as how to write a technical report. I have received several compliments regarding my writing abilities from Senior Project Managers."
--Carolyn E. (McCullough) Powrozek
Golder Associates Inc. Wixom, Michigan
LSSU has a great reputation for placing Geology students in graduate and professional schools, such as:
The median salary of the 2007 geology graduates is $55,000.
We have also have alumni making over $100,000 dollars per year, within their first year after obtaining a Master of Science degree. What a great time be a geologist!

train travel Italy to Switzerland
I want to travel from Florence or Pisa to Interlaken Switzerland. I'm totally confused by the Eurorail website. Has anyone done this?
I want to travel from Florence or Pisa to Interlaken Switzerland. I'm totally confused by the Eurorail website. Has anyone done this?
Laureen, I'd suggest using one of the other rail sites and not the "Eurorail" website. One of the best websites to use for trips all over Europe is the German Rail site. The trip from Florence or Pisa to Interlaken is relatively easy. There are numerous departures each day, with varying travel times and number of changes. Using Florence as an example, one of the shortest trips is a departure from Firenze SMN at 08:55, arriving Interlaken Ost at 14:28 (time 5H:33M, 2 changes at Milano Centrale & Spiez, reservations compulsory on the first two legs). If you buy the ticket in Florence, they may only be able to provide a ticket as far as Spiez (the first stop inside Switzerland). It's very easy to buy a ticket in Spiez for the last part of the trip. I travelled a similar route about a month ago, and no problems at all. Note that there are two stations in Interlaken, East (Ost) and West. If you're travelling onward to the Berner Oberland, Interlaken Ost is the correct destination. If that's the case, be sure to specify your end destination when you buy your ticket in Spiez. Happy travels!
Ken THANK YOU! Your response was incredibly helpful. I followed your suggested route through the German and Swiss rail sites and think we have it figured out now. I am very grateful to you.
If you do separate bookings well in advance (up to 120 days) on trenitalia.com, you can get a Super Economy fare of €19.00 for Florence-Milan and a Smart fare of €19.00 for Milan-Spiez. While it's possible to book tickets on the site without registering, things go more smoothly if you do. There is frequent regional train service from Spiez to Interlaken Ost. Buy your ticket when you get to Spiez and jump on the next train.
Glad you found a connection. I'm confused about what you mean by "the Eurorail website". Eurail (www.eurail.com) just promotes and sells rail passes. They don't have schedules. They do have a rail map on their site, but it is very incomplete. People often say Eurorail when they really mean RailEurope, but RailEurope should not be use as a planning guide. They act as a travel agency, selling rail passes and profit added tickets for a small number of rail segments. You are much better off using something like the Bahn website or the Swiss Rail website for trips all over Europe, or single country websites like French Rail or Austrian Rail.
Adding to my previous post. Discount fare tickets are for a specific departure date and time and they are non-exchangeable and non-refundable. Be sure you can commit before booking. If you wait and buy your tickets in Florence, you will pay full fare: €50.00 for Florence-Milan and €59.50 for Milan-Spiez. The fare for Spiez-Interlaken Ost is 10.40 CHF.
Thank you to all of you...extremely helpful!!
Laureen, Just to clarify, is Interlaken your final destination or are you heading elsewhere in the Berner Oberland? Outside of Interlaken, there are several different transportation options.

What It Is
What It Is
My First Fish Bowl, part of Learning Curve's Lamaze brand, is a new take on put-and-take play. This soft fish bowl with see-through sides comes with an undersea cast of creatures: starfish, crab, clam, and fish. Each of these soft creatures crinkles, rattles, jingles, or squeaks. Kids can stack the characters, put them in the fish bowl, and take them out of the bowl. Everything stores inside the fish bowl, making it a great toy to take on the go.
Why It's Fun
This is a super-cute toy with a classic play pattern. The bright colors and different textures and sounds of each item in My First Fish Bowl will keep babies engaged as they play. My First Fish Bowl is also a great item for helping babies develop dexterity (through picking up the soft sea creatures) and hand-eye coordination (through placing the sea creatures in the bowl and taking them out).

Hey Matt, can I be the first person on your list. I'll be the 6'3", 300 lb. long haired ex-pro wrestling Indian with the big "B" on his hat. Just come by and introduce yourself. I'm sure we'll get along quite nicely.
This year I'm destined to be good and liquored up...
What I do remember, though, is a guy named Eric Darby who represented two different Ann Arbor teams at Nats, the first of those teams having been, as you so eloquently put it, a "Team Wiener", while the second team had only one other male member aside from this aforementioned Eric Darby.
boston... i see that one boston team wasn't enough, so they tried to gang up on us, one first night, another second night..what is thishow many boston teams are there... they're like friggin rabbits
Excellent.We've obviously hit a nerve.

Kimball, Madison try to join 10 decades of Dallas ISD champions
This weekend at the UIL's boys tournament in Austin, Madison and Kimball have a chance to add their names to a list of basketball champions from Dallas ISD. It's a prestigious group, with at least one team from each of the last 10 decades.
Here's the complete list of DISD champions, broken into decades. Just for fun, I've highlighted one of the schools during each decade, to give a snapshot of what it took to win a state title.
2012: Kimball, 4A, 34-5
Notable: After graduating a talented trio of transfers – Jordan Williams, Jalen Jones and Jarion Henry – Kimball found itself back in the state final, thanks in large part to Irving transfer Keith Frazier. But Kimball's 78-75 win over Houston Yates was truly a team effort: Shannon Lilly scored 27, named the MVP for the second straight year; Frazier had 17 points and 14 rebounds; and Torrey Henry hit two 3-pointers in the final 29 seconds to rally Kimball back from five-point deficit.
2011: Kimball, 4A, 38-3
2009: Madison, 3A, 33-4
2008: South Oak Cliff, 4A, 25-8
2007: South Oak Cliff, 4A, 33-3
2006: Roosevelt, 3A, 28-8
2006: South Oak Cliff, 4A*, 30-7
2005: South Oak Cliff, 4A*, 32-7
2002: Lincoln, 4A, 40-0
Notable: With Chris Bosh and Bryan Hopkins, this unbeaten Lincoln team could easily stake a claim as the city's best-ever squad. It finished the year crowned as the No. 1 team in the nation by several national polls. A state semifinalist in 2001, Lincoln walloped the opposition in the 4A playoffs, winning by an average margin of victory of 33.3 points. In a heavily hyped final between future NBA first-rounders Bosh and Kendrick Perkins, Lincoln dominated Beaumont Ozen, 71-51, with Bosh going for 21 points, 11 rebounds and seven blocks.
1997: Kimball, 5A, 38-2
1997: Madison, 3A, 28-7
1996: Kimball, 5A, 38-2
1993: Lincoln, 4A, 33-3
1992: South Oak Cliff, 4A, 34-2
Notable: In its fourth appearance at the state tournament in five seasons, South Oak Cliff cruised to the 4A title with a 73-60 win over Georgetown, behind 6-8 forward Derrick Battie and second-year coach Chris Dyer. Battie, who would play collegiately at Temple, went 14 for 17 from the floor in the final, named MVP with 29 points and 12 rebounds. Its only two losses of the season were to 5A teams: Fort Worth Dunbar, a Region I finalist, and Duncanville, the defending state champs. SOC wouldn't make the state tournament again until 2003, Darrell Arthur's freshman season.
1990: Kimball, 5A, 35-3
1990: Lincoln, 4A, 27-10
1987: Hillcrest, 4A, 24-10
Notable: For all of Dallas' champions, Hillcrest might have been the most unlikely. Two years removed from a losing record, Hillcrest made the playoffs for the first time in six years, but hardly looked a juggernaut. It was the underdog against Waxahachie and No. 2 Lancaster in the regional tournament, and upset No. 1 Bay City and two-time Parade All-American LaBradford Smith in the semifinals, 54-51. Behind 15 points and five steals from junior guard Tyrone Maxey and five fourth-quarter free throws by senior forward Quintin Washington, Hillcrest beat Cleburne, 51-42, in the state final.
1977: South Oak Cliff, 4A, 35-8
1972: Roosevelt, 4A, 36-4
Notable: While it was only a semifinal, Roosevelt's 111-109 win over Houston Wheatley was one of the most electrifying games in state tournament history. In its first-ever state appearance, Roosevelt rallied from a nine-point deficit with three minutes to play, behind star 6-8 forward Ira Terrell. Terrell – a future SMU star – scored seven points in the final 1:12, including a three-point play with four seconds remaining to retake the lead. He made 21 of 23 shots, finishing with 45 points, still the single-game scoring mark in the state's highest classification. In the final, Roosevelt withstood 44 points from future Texas Tech great Rick Bullock in a 68-63win over San Antonio Jefferson.
1962: Thomas Jefferson, 4A, 33-2
Notable: Using a two-team platoon, Thomas Jefferson steamrolled the rest of the 4A competition en route to the state title. In four playoff wins, Thomas Jefferson won by an average of 29.3 points per game. While the team was heralded for its relative anonymity, it wasn't without talent. Junior Bob Glover, who later played at Texas Tech, scored 16 points and grabbed nine rebounds in the 69-46 final against Houston Jeff Davis. Fellow all-city guard Eddie Dominguez, who'd later play at Texas A&M, was one of six Thomas Jefferson players from that team to play Division I basketball.
1955: Crozier Tech, 4A, 28-1
Notable: The team of the decade in Dallas, Crozier Tech made its five trips to the finals in 10 years, winning its third title with a 57-55 win over Waco. Tech hit two last-second shots in the state tournament: Albert Brown hit a 20-foot jumper from the corner as time expired to beat Beaumont in the semifinal, 58-56; and Tech's 6-9 center, A.C. Black, hit a game-winning jumper with 14 seconds remaining in the final. Black – who averaged 25.5 points during the regular season – scored 47 points over the two wins. Mount Pleasant delivered Tech's lone loss of the season, 56-51, at the Cotton Bowl Invitational, behind 23 points from Don Meredith.
1948: Crozier Tech, 2A, 23-3
1946: Crozier Tech, 2A, 24-2
1944: Sunset, 2A, 20-3
Notable: Sunset grabbed an early lead in the state final against Childress, sat back in a zone defense and never trailed after the first quarter, en route to a 29-20 win. Sunset's biggest challenge at the state tournament was Highland Park, holding on for a 29-24 semifinal win after scoring just three fourth-quarter points. Highland Park would have been more formidable, if not for center Bobby Layne graduating in February and leaving the team. Instead, Sunset just had to handle future NFL Hall of Fame player Doak Walker, who scored eight in the loss. Sunset post Hal Turner and wing Bobby Folsom were named to the all-state team. Folsom would later become Dallas' mayor, from 1976 to 1981.
1941: Dallas Washington, PVIL 4A, N/A
1938: Woodrow Wilson, All Classes, 27-0
Notable: After a 13-year drought between state titles, a Dallas school wins another basketball title. In fact, Woodrow's appearance in the eight-team state tournament was just the third for a Dallas team since Oak Cliff won in 1924. Woodrow's Mal Kutner, a 6-2 forward, was named to the all-tournament team after scoring 13 points in a 41-27 win over Abilene in the final. Kutner would go one to letter in three sports at Texas (football, basketball, track), and – after serving in the Navy during World War II – was an NFL all-Pro end in 1947 and 1948 for the Chicago Cardinals.
1923-24: Oak Cliff, All Classes
Notable: Oak Cliff – renamed Adamson in 1935 – was Dallas' first basketball dynasty. Led by center Joe King, a star quarterback in football, and diminutive guard Bill Schroder, Oak Cliff won 35 games in a row against in-state opponents during a three-year span, winning three City titles and back-to-back state titles. Several players on its basketball team – including Ira Hopper, W.C. Lynch, C.L. Higgins and Orval Rhoads – helped Oak Cliff win the 1924 UIL football title. Rhoads would later play football and baseball at Texas.

Kent and Joyce Kresa Endow Professorial Chair at Caltech
Professorship creates permanent support for a leading investigator
Kent Kresa, interim chairman of General Motors, and his wife have pledged $2 million to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to endow the Joyce and Kent Kresa Professorship in Engineering and Applied Science. Kresa is Chairman of the Caltech Board of Trustees. The Kresa gift is matched with an additional $1 million provided by the Gordon and Betty Moore Matching Program.
"Our very good friends the Kresas have shared their time, vision, and resources with Caltech for many years," said Caltech president Jean-Lou Chameau. "They know our approach: attract leading thinkers, give them the best resources we can, and create an atmosphere in which they can collaborate easily. Kent and Joyce's generous gift will support one great engineer after another and will lead to great discoveries and inventions."
The chair will support and recognize a faculty member in engineering and applied science, with a preference for faculty in aeronautics and aerospace engineering, fields Kresa has helped shape, most notably in 28 years with Northrop Grumman that included 13 as the company's CEO and chairman. Ares Rosakis, the Theodore von Kármán Professor of Aeronautics and Mechanical Engineering and chair of the Division of Engineering and Applied Science, will work with Provost Edward Stolper to select the inaugural Joyce and Kent Kresa Professor.
"Endowed chairs offer our faculty the ultimate freedom to pursue the research thrusts they are most passionate about—and this is truly invaluable to Caltech and our continued vitality," said Rosakis.
Kresa has been a director of GM since 2003, when he retired from Northrop Grumman Corporation. Kresa joined that company in 1975 and was elected president in 1987, CEO in January 1990, and chairman in September 1990. Kent and Joyce Kresa are President's Circle members of the Caltech Associates.

Baguio bets haul medals in Batang Pinoy Nationals-A A +A
Thursday, January 30, 2014
BAGUIO City continues to reap honors as they enhance their title bid bagging five golds and three silvers on the first day of the Batang Pinoy National Championships in Panaad Park in Bacolod City slated January 28-February 1.
Reymark Quezada landed the first out of five gold medals for the Summer Capital as he outlasted other competitors from all over the country finishing the 5000 meter run within 17:10:02 in the athletics event.
Quezada, who ranked overall third during the Luzon leg in Iba, Zambales, also snatched silver after coming second in the 1500 meter race to add in the city's medal tally.
Leah Taltala lorded over other contenders in the girl's high jump event after crossing the high bar and record a 1.48 meter best.
Jenkins Lorenzo Labao, who also towed a gold medal in the boy's 400 meter freestyle event, teamed-up with Neil Nazarro, Dan Christian Leyba and Renz Gawidan to lead the boys 200 meter medley swimming relay.
Meanwhile, Allana Sagubo dominated in the girl's 200 meter back stroke, with Leyba generating silver in the boy's 200 meter event before the day closes. Brylle Gever Vinluan also added his own silver medal in the boy's rapid chess event.
The Summer Capital has already logged 21 gold medals last October for the national standings, whereas wushu has 15, archery with five, and one from motocross.
Meanwhile the Visayas qualifying leg champion Cebu City, who is seen as the closest competitor for Baguio, has already bagged 15 gold medals where they dominated most in the dancesport competition.
The city athletes will still see to gather more awards in arnis competition as they are seen to be the most bemedalled team during the recent Arnis National Competitions held last December.
City sports coordinator Gaudencio Gonzales said earlier he is confident with the performance the city athletes will showcase in during the national competitions.
"Confident ako sa magiging results ng competitions na even after ng national finals dito sa Bacolod," Gonzales said.
Baguio will try to defend and record a rare three-peat in the Batang Pinoy Nationals after bagging the overall crown in 2011 and 2012.
Other sports to be participated in the nationals will be athletics, boxing, judo, lawn tennis, and wrestling.
Winners from the Batang Pinoy National Qualifiers will represent our country in the coming 2014 Youth Olympic Games this coming August in Nanjing, China, and for other international age group competitions.

From 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm
Café Scientifique Topic #26 Race & Environmental Justice: Bridging the Gap Between Us with Tom Macias, Associate Professor, Sociology, UVM. An ECHO Afterdark event for the 21+ crowd on November 8, 6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. How do our social connections to people different from ourselves affect our attitudes towards environmental issues? Suggested donation $5. Cash bar opens at 6.30 p.m., discussion begins at 7 p.m.; light hors d'oeuvres sponsored by VT Sigma Xi, Scientific Research Society. A bio by Tom: My interest in sociology most likely began during my time as a Peace Corps volunteer in Costa Rica and Argentina. There, I was struck by the socially constructed nature of everything around me. Living outside the United States for a few years drew my attention to how things such as race and ethnic categories, social class status and consumer-based lifestyle expectations are inseparable from the particular histories, social relations, and cultures in which they're found. Even within the U.S., the social, economic and political contrasts between Phoenix, Arizona, where I grew up, and Burlington, Vermont where I work and live, are striking. My sociological research began in the Southwest where I've written about environmental justice issues surrounding forest management in northern New Mexico, and the multigenerational context of ongoing Mexican immigration in Santa Clara County, California and Maricopa County, Arizona. In each of these three contexts, Mexican-origin identity means something very distinctive, ranging from long established rural communities with claims to centuries-old Spanish land grants to recent arrivals and the targets of heated anti-immigrant politics in a sprawling desert metropolis.Since my arrival in Vermont, my research interests have shifted somewhat with a stronger focus on the effect of consumer behavior on environmental outcomes. I am particularly interested in how efforts at conservation might reduce human impacts on the natural environment. My more recent publications concern the role community social ties, sometimes referred to as social capital, work to support local agriculture and alternative forms of transportation. An underlying theme in my research is that in a world where market forces see individuals in society as primarily a consumer source of profit, people fare much better when they have a variety of people to rely on for information, friendship and mutual support.Questions to ponder:1. How do differences along the lines of race and social class affect overall concern for the environment in society?2. How do our social connections to people different from ourselves affect our attitudes towards environmental issues?3. Are the social and personal benefits we receive from using and disposing a laptop computer worth the social and environmental costs they incur?4. In which ways are our decisions as consumers informed by an understanding of the social and environmental impacts of our behavior?5. How might a more equal society allow us to be a more sustainable society?6. What are the relative merits of technological versus social and community-level approaches to solving our current environmental crisis?Guests are encouraged to bring their own questions!

The Pink Grapefruit
The Pink Grapefruit is a brand new cafe/market specializing in ready to eat meals servicing Queen East near Church. While the previous occupant doled out medical marijuana (CALM), the new occupant serves up gourmet munchies, coffee and prepared meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week.
The sparse interior features warm exposed brick and white walls, allowing the ornately framed menu chalkboards to take centre stage. While the restaurant currently only has a mini shelf and two chairs, plans are in place for seating for up to 10, adhering to city bylaws for establishments with no bathrooms (don't worry, Moss Park is nearby).
Owner and Chef Tatiana Shabotynsky (formerly of George and Auberge du Pommier) has thoughtfully curated a number of pantry goods (think crackers, sauces and dips) to accompany her deli case of mains, paninis and gourmet sides. For those with little time, there's a second open display case that offers an excellent selection of pre-packaged sandwiches from $4.50 and up, like chunky egg and arugula salad or roast chicken, avocado and tomato aioli, or for the low-carb option, grab and go salads starting at $4.50.
Breakfast comes in many variations, including the popular Egg Cup ($1.40) for a single egg (or a scrambled western omelette) and wilted spinach stuffed into a toast or ham shell. Muffins are fresh baked, with rotating flavours for $2.00.
We slid into the front area and dove into our picnic worthy meal; Pesto Chicken with two sides ($12.50), a satisfying combo of mashed sweet potato, chick pea salad and a solid garlicky chicken breast. While the food is meant to be taken home to heat up, we bucked the trend and devoured it cold. The side of chick peas, cucumbers and red onion was tangy with fresh chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon.
The addictive Augusta Ave Mexican salad ($6.50) is an ample portion of mixed lettuces, black beans, corn, diced red pepper, cherry tomatoes and cooked chunks of sweet potato. The accompanying salad dressing was absolutely chuggable; a zesty lemon vinaigrette tinged with fresh herbs and salt and pepper.
Intelligentsia coffee from Chicago paired nicely with our Zucchini square ($2.50), a dense brick of moist cake with walnuts and sweet cream cheese icing.
While only entering its second week, The Pink Grapefruit is off to a great start. The staff are friendly and excited, eager to explain the menu items in great detail and engage feedback from customers. With a few gluten free options and many more in the works, The Pink Grapefruit fills a void in this fast food dominated corridor.

I live close and will be back again and again! If you're in the area, go to Pink Grapefruit!!
The space is clean and uncluttered featuring everything from healthy options like salads, salmon, chicken, sandwiches, veggie side options and more (to go if preferred) to tasty treats like brownies and homemade cookies. Not to mention, delicious coffee post-meal.
If you are looking for healthy, fresh and tasty food-to-go (also can sit if you prefer) this is THE place to check out in Toronto.
Very cool space, clean, open, with exposed brick and tasteful decor, very unique for Toronto.
Been here three times, am looking forward to going many more. Totally recommend. 5 out of 5.
Thanks Pink Grapefruit!
I was hoping that it would be a sit down place but they don't serve ecofriendly dishes so it is pretty much just aim for a takeout type of service. Also, the lighting is awful - phosphorescent. They do have some seating though in the front.
Beverage - very good
Food - ok
Atmosphere - not good (generally aimed for grab 'n go)
As the manager here at The Pink Grapefruit, I'd like to thank you for your visit and your feedback!
As we approach our first year anniversary, we realize that the demand for in-house service and seating has exceeded our expectations and we must work to accommodate that evolution into our original business plan of only servicing grab and go. In the meantime, all of our containers are either 100% biodegradable or recyclable. A blue bin for the front is coming soon. As a start up with a limited budget, we thought our lighting the most economical and effective option.
Cheers, and we appreciate your visit!

Breach in Security Servers: Wanted Jihadi Terrorist, Shameem Flees Country
In what can be termed as major breach in the nation's security systems, the much wanted Thadiyantevide Shameem, who is on the police hit-list, has fled the country. The elusive Shameem has been figuring prominently in the 'most wanted' list of Indian Police for his involvement in high profile terror attacks. He managed to give the slip by tampering with the security servers functioning at Indian Airports. Shameem made his escape to foreign lands via Nedumbassery International Airport. However, both police and defense agencies have adopted a rather impotent attitude to the entire matter.
With the aid of skilled hands, security servers all over the country in Indian Airports were made non-functionary at the same time frame. This helped the culprits leak necessary data and erase vital information pertaining to Shameem. Thus he could flee the country without being subject to the round of emigration check up. Shameem is said to have taken off on 23 December 2011 via Kochi- Sharjah 9-411 flight via Nedumbassery International Airport.
The Suspect Index Cell functioning under the Intelligence wing from RK Puram, New Delhi had issued directions to airports all over India for the unlocking of security servers, at a specific time, on a daily basis. The directive was issued between December 20 and 26, 2011 to collect vital and confidential data. Even though this happens to be a daily routine on the part of intelligence department, the moment was seized by the masterminds, who successfully deleted all vital information pertaining to Shameem and many others, who figure on the 'wanted' list.
The matter came to light on December 27, 2011 following routine investigation rounds, when the squad searched for details related to Shameem. This included a 'look out' notice, with LOC number 20111111042. However, by then, Shameem had already made good his escape.
On January 5, 2012, the matter was brought to the notice of the State Secret Investigation Department, Kochi Bureau by the Central Intelligence Bureau, supplemented with all vital information. Shameem had fled to Sharjah with the passport number F2234899. The easy escape was rendered because Shameem's details were not present in the server, like other ordinary citizens. In short, Shameem was informed of the coast being clear, for his escape. The episode has shocked all investigating officers alike. They are of the strong view that the entire plot has been well hatched. They also pointed out other instances where similar occurrences have taken place.
On March 15, 2012 the Emigration Department of Kochi International Airport had written a detailed report pertaining to the same to the ADGP of Intelligence Department, Kerala State. The letter includes every single detail pertaining to Shameem, including his 'look out' notice. However, the proceedings of the probe have not been made clear yet.
Another baffling aspect is with regard to the place of action, where the entire feat of doing away with the details took place. The District office has categorically explained that this can be executed only from the security servers functioning from Delhi. Following a scrutiny, District Informatics Officer Santhosh Kumar has handed over to the Emigration Department, details related to the place from where the entire episode took place. The National Informatics Centre (NIC), a Central Government Agency controls the Security server. The one functioning in Kochi operates from the District NIC office, Kakkanadu.
Shameem happens to be closely related to Thadiyantevide Naseer, the South Indian Commander of Lashkar-e-Taiba, who masterminded many of the major terror strikes of the country. Naseer is currently lodged in Poojapura Central Prison.

Impotent nation
What is the use of launching Agni V ?. As a nation India can't even punish criminals and Jihadis like Shameem , Dawood Ibrahim , Naseer. It is highly laughable that on the throne some rascals are governing the country. Throw impotent MMS out of power. Put Sonia Maino behind bars for playing with the security of the country. The country should take stringent measure to throw these anti-national elements out of power. Jai Hind.

Breach in security servers
The best and simple course is to hire Somalia mercenaries and get such scoundrels liquidated, including terrorists like Hafiz Sayeed.

SBA's International Trade Loan: Helping Businesses Bring Jobs Home
From the SBA's Office of International Trade, we bring you some tips on how to bring production back to America!
Recent studies show that "on-shoring" is likely to increase over the next several years due to a number of factors, such as a need for skilled labor, productivity of the U.S. workforce, stronger quality controls, rising transportation costs, and stronger entrepreneurship and innovation.
The SBA's International Trade Loan (ITL) program provides small businesses with capital to finance their fixed assets, including real estate, and working capital needs. This program offers private lenders SBA's highest loan guarantee of 90% guarantee on loans up to $5 million to incentivize lending to small businesses poised for growth.
A small business may use the ITL program to "on-shore" if the business:
1) Seeks to export
Small businesses which currently manufacture products abroad, but want to relocate production to
the U.S. for the purposes of exporting may utilize the ITL program. These businesses may want to relocate to the U.S. to take advantage of increased labor productivity, proximity to raw materials, quality control, re-linking their supply chain or other factors. Small businesses would qualify even
if they intend to sell only one product abroad.
2) Suffers from import competition
American small businesses that sell only to the U.S. market also can use the loan program. These firms must demonstrate adverse impact to their business due to import competition, supported either by a narrative explanation and the company's financial statements or by a finding of economic injury issued by the International Trade Commission or the U.S. Department of Commerce.
How to Apply for the ITL Program
A small business exporter seeking an ITL must
apply to an SBA-participating lender, who submits a completed Application for Business Loan (SBA Form 4), including all exhibits, to the SBA. Small businesses may contact their local U.S. Export Assistance Center for further information, including a list of eligible SBA lenders in their area, by visiting www.sba.gov/international.
US Department of Commerce Now at WSU SBDC!
The Small Business Development Center at Wright State has added a federal employee to its roster to help pair local companies with international markets.
"Our job is to get to know our companies in our area and find out which have the potential to sell in foreign markets," said Deborah Dirr, international trade specialist for the U.S. Department of Commerce. "We're much more like a consulting firm than we are a government agency."
Dirr joined the SBDC at the Raj Soin College of Business in January and will staff a permanent satellite office of the U.S. Commercial Service, U.S. Department of Commerce in Rike Hall.
She's been working for years out of the Cincinnati office and has served the Dayton area for years. Dirr works directly with colleagues in about 75 countries who are hired by the United States to help U.S. companies break into, and in some cases dodge the pitfalls that can occur in, foreign markets.
"For example one big service we offer includes background checks of foreign companies to assess risk," said Dirr.
That's important because domestic companies often have limited insight into the current trade atmosphere in foreign markets that can depend on back-room dealings by companies and trade barriers by foreign governments.
Additional services include export relations advocacy, financing programs, distribution recommendations, business matchmaking and help with contract formulation.
This is just the latest example of the SBDC at Wright State's commitment to provide services to local businesses that might want to go international.
Last fall, in a similar move, the SBDC merged with the Ohio's top International Trade Assistant Center (ITAC), bringing Kathy Marshalek into the fold following many years of service in the ITAC office in Kettering.
"The local businesses now have access to an export center that will help them determine where in the world are their best markets and help entering and selling into those markets," said Marshalek. "The students will be able to work with these exporters through internships and educational opportunities."
The addition of Dirr enhances these capabilities because Marshalek works with state on imports and exports, whereas Dirr is focused solely on exports and works directly with U.S. embassies and consulates.
Dirr serves nine Dayton-area counties on a regular basis and is eager to get to work with new clients who have not yet taken advantage of this service.
"This resource is here and it's pre-paid," says SBDC business advisor Earl Gregorich. "They (local businesses) paid for it with their tax dollars."

NEW! International Market Access Grant for Exporters (IMAGE)
The Ohio International Market Access Grant for Exporters (IMAGE). is a new grant program funded by the State of Ohio and the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). Under this grant, companies can reimbursed up to 50% for approved export expenditures.
Some eligible export-related activities include:
1. International trade show participation – this would include booth space, interpreter fees, participation fees and booth freight costs. If there are any foreign show that you may want to participate in, this is a good way to do so.
2. Services and programs offered by US Dept of Commerce, such as:
– International Partner Search (matchmaking service to find agents, distributors and partners)
– Gold Key Service (IPS plus logistics and meetings set up when in the host country)
– International Company Profile (similar to an international D&B on a foreign company)
3. International trade mission participation (up to $3000) – this would cover participation fees, air travel, lodging, appointment setting fees and other trade mission services. To date, the IMAGE program is promoting the following four trade missions:
Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand – March 16 – March 28, 2012
Brazil, Chile and Colombia – April 14 – April 24, 2012
India – April 21 – April 27, 2012
Israel – May 12 – May 18, 2012
If you are wondering if these are good markets for your products – we can provide some preliminary market research to help you decide if this is a market for you! Let us know if you would like us to take a deeper look at any of these markets for your products and services – at no cost to you.
4. Select international marketing and technical translation services – the grant funds can be used to translate website, marketing material, technical manual translations and other misc. translations. Let us know if you have specific questions as to what types of translation this fund can be used to reimburse.
5. Other export-related initiatives – these projects must be pre-approved by the State of Ohio.
Our researchers would be happy to provide you with market research reports that identify top markets for your products. That would allow you to determine which of the elements of the IMAGE grants best fits your company and export plans.
I would be happy to further explain any of these options. For additional information, contact Kathy Marshalek, Director, ITAC at WSU, at 937.775.3524 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com

Gov. Paul LePage will submit a bill to the Legislature this week that, if approved, would pump more money into a home heating conversion fund. He would pay for it by increasing the timber harvest limits on state-owned land. But critics of the plan say that's an improper use of those timber harvesting funds, which are intended for conservation purposes. A.J. Higgins has more.
At a morning press conference, LePage came out swinging at the Democratically-controlled Legislature that he blamed for failing those who are still struggling with a brutally cold Maine winter.
"Right now Maine people are freezing and we're doing nothing about it," LePage said.
LePage assailed Democrats for instead favoring legislation that would provide rebates for solar energy - funded in part by ratepayers. LePage chided Democrats for pandering to special interests, and urged them instead to support the administration's heat pump pilot project, which he says will cost less, and offer a better rate of return than solar.
And by increasing the current timber harvesting yield on state-owned lands, he could infuse an additional $1 million into effective energy conservation projects.
"We have been cutting far less than the annual cut of our forest, so my suggestion was: Let's bring the annual cut to the annual growth of our forest. Let's bring the cut there, save those revenues and start using some of the increasing revenues to help Maine families convert their expensive heating systems to something that's more efficient, so they can save money in heating."
But the problem with LePage's plan, according to conservationists, is that it would cut timber from public lands at a rate that exceeds what's needed for healthy regeneration.
"Taking money from the woods and lands that are held in public trusts is a bad idea," says Dylan Voorhees, the clean energy director of the Natural Resources Council of Maine.
And Voorhees says LePage's proposal is also at odds with the state's longtime practice of using revenues from public land harvests for conservation purposes. "Our public lands are not an ATM machine for us to fund programs, whether those are good programs or bad ones."
But as fuel oil prices hover in the $4-per-gallon range, lawmakers say they continue to hear plenty from constituents who want the Legislature to do more to encourage more affordable home heating options. House Republican Leader Ken Fredette says LePage's plan is worth considering.
"To the extent that we can do this in an environmentally sound way, to covert over to something that could save people thousands of dollars, we should be doing that. It should be a top priority," Fredette said.
Although many Democrats support the solar rebate program currently under review by lawmakers, Senate Democratic Leader Troy Jackson says LePage's plans to explore alternative heating options is worthwhile. And - unlike some other Democrats - he doesn't necessarily have a problem with harvesting more timber on state-owned land.
But he says LePage is constitutionally barred from using any of that money for anything beyond conservation purposes.
"You know, it's just unbelievable that he can't get his head around that this is unconstitutional, but he'll make arguments on other things that aren't constitutional," Jackson says. "We should probably look at extending the harvest on these lands, but to put it back into programs that actually are much needed. The idea of putting money into heat pumps or solar rebates is a great idea - I think we should do that - but not with these revenues because we already know that, constitutionally, we can't do that."
It's a point conceded by the LePage administration. "Oh, we clearly need a statutory change," says Patrick Woodcock, the director of LePage's energy office. And Woodcock says the administration is prepared to back whatever statutory changes are needed to put the governor's plan into action.
"And the question is: What is the bigger priority right now for the state of Maine, when we have a heating crisis before us and so many options available to us to help Mainers stay warm in what has been a very challenging winter?" Woodcock says.
During the press conference, the governor reiterated his support for energy programs including solar - as long as they can demonstrate that will actually reduce costs for Mainers.

Course overview
This specialist degree is designed to provide students with the opportunity to combine complementary major sequences in international studies and commerce. The focus is on an international orientation and students will be expected to make a commitment to an internship with an overseas organisation, or a period of study at an overseas university, or to participate in an in-country language program.
This course is designed to enable students to:
- develop their understanding of the international forces shaping government, business and community life in contemporary Australia
- develop a range of skills in analysis and interpretation of these forces
- have a grounding in business disciplines
- develop cross-cultural competencies through an internationally oriented curriculum and through participation in international study or work experience.
Fees and charges
Equivalent Full Time Student Load (EFTSL)
EFTSL is the standard annual full time load. Eight credit points is considered a standard full time load for one year. Each unit you study has an EFTSL value. You can add these together to calculate your study load each year. Depending on enrolment, you may be enrolled in more than or less than the one EFTSL each year.
Commonwealth supported place (CSP)
Under the present legislation, a Commonwealth supported place is one for which the University receives some Government funding. Students enrolled in these places are required to contribute part of their course costs. To be eligible for a Commonwealth supported place you must be an Australian citizen, or New Zealand citizen or holder of a permanent visa who will be residing in Australia for the duration of your study.
Full-fee paying (FFP)
A full-fee paying place is one which the University does not receive any Government funding. Students enrolled in these places contribute the full cost of their course.
Domestic full-fee paying places are available to Australian citizens, New Zealand citizens or holders of a permanent visa.
Fee information for all domestic students
The current Federal Government has proposed a number of major reforms for the higher education sector (see the Higher Education and Research Reform Amendment Bill 2014), including fee deregulation in respect of domestic student fees. This legislation may be reintroduced to the parliament in the latter half of 2015 and if passed, will impact on the CSP and FFP course fees applicable in 2016.
* Therefore, the indicative annual course fee shown is provided as a guide only. It has been calculated on the basis of a typical enrolment of a student undertaking the course in 2015, and reflects the cost involved in undertaking full-time study within the specified discipline. The 2016 CSP and FFP course fees may change if the Commonwealth Government's proposed fee deregulation and reforms legislation is passed.
The actual fees charged by Deakin University, will depend on the individual unit discipline and may vary from the indicative course fee cited, particularly if units are chosen from a number of disciplines. The cost of each unit offered in 2016 can be viewed from the Unit Search. Should a change in Government policy affect the cost of units offered, the website will be updated as soon as possible.
The fees per unit/credit point may be otherwise subject to an annual increase due to rises in the cost of course delivery and service.
This information is provided as a guide only. No representation is made that the information provided is current or accurate. Deakin assumes no responsibility for persons relying on indicative course fees to calculate the total future cost of their course. Applicants can email email@example.com au for more information about 2016 fees.

Formerly a main base for the Al-Qaeda-allied violent extremist group Al Shabaab, the once impressive stadium was used as a headquarters for the group's operations in Mogadishu, a training ground for their fighters and a site where they executed prisoners and tested and assembled improvised explosive devices (IEDs). After two decades of near-constant conflict, Somalia is enjoying its longest period of peace and growing security since the Al-Qaeda-allied violent extremist group Al Shabaab was driven from Mogadishu in August 2011. Under the Shabaab's draconian rule, social pastimes and sports such as football were banned but residents of the city and elsewhere across Somalia.

Dustin Hoffman has joined the ranks of film actors like Steve Buscemi who made themselves more awesome by appearing on television. Oops, our mistake, "It's not television, it's HBO." Yes, Dusty will be starring in Luck, a show that details the exciting, fast-paced world of… parimutuel horse racing. Since there's probably no one under the age of 90 who has the slightest clue how this works, we've decided to break down some of the more common terms so that you aren't completely lost. As an added service, we're throwing in pictures of these majestic creatures (the horses, not Dustin Hoffman) for your viewing pleasure.
Note that if you're reading this in any country other than the United States, the terms are different. For example, in the UK, "win," "place" and "show" are "tops, guvnah," "right-o, old boy" and "jolly good show, mate," respectively.
Win: Your horse has to, um, win.
Place: Your horse can come in first or second. Kind of a pussy bet if you ask us.
Show: Your horse can come in first, second or third. You're not going to make a ton of money off of this bet, chief.
Exacta: You accurately predict the first- and second-place finishers in the proper order. If they're both longshots you're probably not going into work the next day.
Quinella: Same as the above, except the two horses can be in any order. Get ready to take the family on that vacation to Vegas you've been dreaming about since you realized your gambling addiction and alcoholism are fully catered to out there.
Trifecta: You pick the first-, second- and third-place horses in the correct order. If you are able to do this on a longshot bet, it's likely that you have mob connections and the race was fixed.
Superfecta: Pick the first four horses in the race in the exact order. Get a five-figure payout. Tell your boss what you really think of him.
Daily Double: A bet covering two races. You choose the winning horse in both races, you get the same payout as winning a regular bet. The only difference is that you only placed one bet, so the greedy public schools only get their take once.
Pick X: You can place a bet where you pick the winner in a series of races. It's expensive and you probably won't ever win. If you do, you're going to make a shitload of money. This is how professional gamblers put their kids through college.
Let It Ride: A rad movie starring Richard Dreyfuss and David Johansen that was pretty cool to watch on a local UHF station's "Saturday Afternoon Movie" circa 1991. Often appeared in a double feature with Short Time. Had horse racing.
How Betting Works: You're not really betting against the other players. You're betting against yourself. The original odds of a horse race have nothing to do with the final tally. The final odds have far more to do with who is betting on what. In fact, if The Grifters is to be believed (and we really hope that it is), mobsters hire hot old chicks in stunning couture dresses to lower the odds on longshots so that they don't have to pay out as much to the winners.
Consider posting a comment.

Now that most, if not all, area school budgets have been approved for another year, I think it is time to revisit the whole process.
Let me begin by posing a question: how many other budgets must be approved by direct vote before they can pass?
As far as I know, there are none. We dont directly vote on a federal budget, state budgets, college/university budgets, city, village or town budgets, nor any other that I can think of. There might be occasional bond issues that require a long-term commitment, but nothing else.
The reason is that we have duly elected representatives who do the vetting of the process. They are (or should be) privy to all the details and thinking behind the costs, revenues, and any other relevant facts. They hopefully have our interests in mind when they develop these budgets. If they dont, their jobs are in jeopardy.
I moved to New York from a Midwestern state, where there was, and still is, no such thing as direct school budget voting. The school board, which included a representative from most towns, villages, and cities in the district, developed the budget with input from citizens, professionals and others, but in the end, they were responsible for the product. Yes, there was controversy, but knee-jerk emotions were largely left out of it.
As a taxpayer in the General Brown district, I probably have been following this subject this year a little more than usual. The average taxpayer is hard-pressed to understand how a school budget works, how it impacts them, and all of the responsibilities that a school district has. I know that my eyes were opened and probably a lot of others as well. I am convinced that the budget development and implementation is just too important to be left to the casual voter. For example, I am certain that a number of people believed that a 5 percent increase in a tax levy meant that their property taxes would go up 5 percent. This is not the case. But to convince those people otherwise takes both time and money, neither of which is plentiful and which is also better spent elsewhere.
It is time to consider eliminating this artifact of a much simpler era and leave the budget process to a group of trusted, better informed elected officials.

Similar cases retrieval from a database is useful, when a patient with an unfamiliar disease is treated. A database management system, therefore, for clinical cases on the WWW with self-organizing maps has been developed. As the same attributes are usually selected from similar cases, this database is especially available to retrieve similar cases. The proportion relations between the degree of similarity and the distance on the map, however, are not always kept. To overcome this problem, a new method has been proposed with which to show the contour map of the similarity distance. The similarity distance is calculated with reference vectors. Computer simulations illustrated usefulness of the method. The future direction of this study will be an application to real clinical cases.
