Seattle police have identified a second suspect in Sunday's double homicide in the Central District.
Police are searching for Ali Muhammed Brown, a 30-year-old felon. Police consider him armed and dangerous.
A police source said it appears that Brown fatally shot Dwone Anderson-Young, 23, and Ahmed Said, 27, just steps from Anderson-Young's house in the 500 block of 29th Avenue South.
A police source said that they identified Brown as a suspect from fingerprints found inside Said's Mitsubishi that was driven away after the pair were shot. The source said that Brown may have met one or both of the victims online.

Brown, who is black, is 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs 190 pounds, with brown eyes. He is believed to be a transient and frequents the South King County area.
If you see Brown, or know his whereabouts, call 911 or the Seattle police homicide tip line at 206-233-5000.
Police said detectives are still working to identify other possible suspects in the case.
In March 2012, Brown pleaded guilty to communication with a minor for immoral purposes and was sentenced to a year in jail. He had initially been charged with first-degree rape of a minor after Kent police said he sexually assaulted a young child several times. It appears Brown is still on probation from that case.
Matalepuna Malu, the second suspect in the slayings, remains at the King County Jail where he's being held without bail stemming from a federal probation violation and an unrelated assault that police say occurred just before the two men were shot.
Police say that Malu, 26, called his brother shortly after the shootings and said he had shot someone in the face, according to an affidavit of probable cause.
Malu's brother contacted police and Malu was arrested Sunday afternoon outside the Police Department headquarters after he called police and said he wanted to clear his name.
Seattle police said the slayings could have been a hate crime, although the motive remains unclear. Anderson-Young's mother said he was gay.
During a news conference Wednesday, Mayor Ed Murray stressed that neither victim had a criminal record, and Assistant Chief Carmen Best called the pair "two outstanding citizens."
"These were not young men involved in crime," Murray said.
Falana Young, Anderson-Young's mother, said her son had caught a ride home from RPlace, a gay club on Capitol Hill, with Said. She said the two men had recently become friends.
Hasan Elmi, who is Said's uncle, said the family is "shocked and stunned."

Next Google Glasses tipped to run on Intel chips
Google Glass might be losing some of its supporters lately but it has gained a somewhat surprising new ally. Insider sources claim that Google will be replacing the Texas Instruments processor with a still unnamed Intel mobile chip. At least, for the next iteration of Google Glass, a wearable device that has yet to see the light of day in retail. The new alliance is both fitting and rather unusual, given how the companies each have their own struggles in that specific corner of the market.

Can you believe that it's almost Memorial Day? That means that this year is nearly half over already.
We typically don't make plans for holiday weekends. Holidays- when everyone else is out recreating- is when hubs is the busiest at work. So we celebrate a bit early. Yep- we had a little Memorial Day celebration last weekend that consisted of eating & family time. I know- exciting right! We remembered our family members & all those that have paid the ultimate sacrifice to give us the freedom we cherish. I went through my dessert recipes & finally decided that I couldn't put these Patriotic Mini-Cheesecakes off until 4th of July. I had to make them. I had been putting them off for so long. Once I made them I realized how simple they were. So I figured you all might want to make them for your get-togethers too. They look so much harder than they are & everyone will think you worked your tail off in the kitchen. Trust me- that is so not the case. AND- since they are minis – it makes portion control so much easier too.
- 1 cup crushed graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup plus 2 tbsp granulated sugar- divided
- 3 tbsp butter/margarine- melted
- 3 pkgs (8oz each) cream cheese- softened
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup diced strawberries
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup strawberry marmalade (opt)
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Melt butter in microwave safe bowl for approx 30 seconds.
- Add graham cracker crumbs & 2 tbsp of sugar. Mix until combined & crumbs are moist.
- Line muffin tins with 18 baking cup liners.
- Put approx 1 tsp of moist crumbs in the bottom of each liner & press down to compact & cover bottom.
- Beat cream cheese, vanilla extract & remaining sugar in electric mixer until well combined.
- Add in eggs one at a time- mixing until just blended.
- Scoop into your prepared liners on top of your crackers. I did one large scoop to start & then went back & topped each off with my remaining batter so that they were all uniform in size.
- Bake 25-30 minutes- until center is almost set.
- When ready- peel papers off, top with berries & drizzle with marmalade.
- Store in refrigerator in airtight container. (I'm storing my extra batch in the freezer so we can have them as we crave them)

I remember originally that it was this image that provoked me to write about the Burqa a few months ago.
Firstly, I wish to rebut the argument that banning the Burqa would be in any way a religious infraction with the pure and simple fact that it is not enshrined in Islamic scripture. The call for "modesty" does not mean that one covers body and face, head to toe in cloth. If anything, as explained (see here), it is a symbol of Arabian culture and of the subservience of women contained within that culture.
So no, the Burqa is not Islamic and any law to prohibit it is not Islamophobic – any accusation or assertion to the contrary should be viewed as an attempt to move the issue beyond the pale of rational discourse.
We must start then, with what the Burqa symbolises. Some perceive it to symbolise oppression – which to an extent it does. It is representative of male ownership over a female (whether by a father or a husband), it represents the extreme justice system implemented in Burqa dominated countries, where women are stoned or threatened with stoning, and women who are raped or refuse sex with their husband are considered adulterers. I don't think I should labour the point too much, but there are serious questions about how many women are forced into it.
An abusive oppressive partner is also no excuse not to ban the Burqa. It will be through noticing who is not allowed out, that we will know who wears the Burqa because they volunteer to (who will mostly merely remove the veil), and who wears it out of force. The Burqa additionally symbolises the female's sexual sovereignty, it represents the ownership of it by another person – and it is this very distasteful aspect to the Burqa that originally made me compare it to 'prostitution', the other side of the coin where the woman herself relinquishes her sexual sovereignty to the highest bidder.
Yet even if a woman wears the Burqa out of choice, what exactly is it expressing? There are two mainly divergent motives that equate to the same harm and divisiveness. The woman concerned either feels that she is superior to wider society, or she is suffering a victimhood complex, an overwhelming desire hidden under piousness to withdraw from society because again, she feels that it is immoral and ready to attack or victimise her at any moment. Both assumptions are wrong, and both assumptions should be challenged for the sake of not having these alienated women walking our streets – and dividing our society.
Furthermore, it is detrimental to the health of the female concerned. There are women walking around in the heat of Arabia with Vitamin D deficiency because they cannot get enough sunlight to absorb enough Vitamin D via the Skin, increasing the risk of Rickets in Muslim women. Also, the Burqa acts as a barrier to normal human interaction. The effect of abnormal social interaction must lead to untold rates of depression and loneliness amongst female women – as if the symbolism, expression or imposition of the garment were not enough.
Finally, we come to the most substantial point – security. One cannot tell what is under the Burqa (entirely the point). We cannot define someone's identity because both face and figure are completely hidden. We cannot tell, for instance if the person under it is wearing a suicide bomber vest. We cannot tell, if – like in the Red Mosque siege – the person in question is a man, a terrorist trying to escape capture. In countries around the world, criminals – dressed in Burqas – have robbed banks and jewellery stored. They have been used by prostitutes to avoid police detection. The problem is not just what they could be used for, but that we have no way of identifying the person or ensuring that we are secure when in their vicinity.
Beware of false parallels here – hoodies don't cover either the face or the figure. Masks cover the face, but not the figure, at least leaving some room for identification and for security. Baggy clothing the opposite, covering the figure but not the face – by which we can discern security from a guilty expression, and identification from facial features.
Of course, anyone with Libertarian inclinations – as most of us probably do – at first flinch at the very thought of using legislation against what is a garment. But we not only increase the liberties of wider society, by increasing their engagement with these women – we, paradoxically, do more to guarantee the liberties of Muslim women by banning the Burqa. Those who choose to wear it will probably survive the trauma of the decision – but to any woman wearing the Burqa, their social interaction will increase, they will become healthier individuals, their job prospects will improve and society will become less divided. We will be able to discern which women are being abused, and can take action as well as the fact we will improve relations between Muslim communities and wider society – leading to less ghettoisation. I think the case is what those legal eagles would call 'Win-Win'.
(I've reproduced this one from the old blog as I've been told that I may infact be asked to speak on the subject during a debate at university. I can't quite remember chapter and verse, so I reproduce this in an attempt to rehearse – the arguments that I used quite so long ago. This is how I remember them.)

Kids and Money: Is a Prepaid Debit Card a Good Idea?
Posted By Miranda Marquit On 06/21/2011 @ 12:26 pm In Family | 16 Comments
Payment with plastic has become the standard in our society. Even if you don't use credit, chances are that you swipe a debit card. Getting used the idea of paying with plastic, and learning how to deal with money that is more abstract than cash, is important. Teenagers need to learn how to track their spending, even when they don't hand over cash. This important lesson is one of the reasons that we are seeing a rise in marketing for prepaid debit cards [3].
But are prepaid debit cards really the answer?
The biggest advantage to a prepaid debit card is that it provides a way for you limit your child's ability to spend money. A specific amount of money is loaded on to the card, and when your teen spends the money, further transactions are denied until the card is reloaded with funds. You can get access to account details, so that you can see where your child is spending his or her money.
All of this creates a situation where your teenager can learn about money management [4] and paying with plastic in a responsible manner. You can encourage your child to use a personal finance application to track his or her spending, and to track when more is added to the prepaid debit card. It can be a good way to get practice, without the risk of going into debt.
The main problem I have with prepaid credit cards is that they come with fees. Lots and lots of fees. You have an activation fee. Most prepaid debit cards come with monthly service fees. Some cards will charge you a fee if you use an ATM (even the issuer's ATM) to check your balance. You even pay a fee when you reload the card. All of these fees start to add up. You could easily pay more than $100 a year in fees on a prepaid debit card.
Instead of getting a prepaid debit card for your teenager, perhaps you could open a joint checking account. Put your child's name on the account first, but make it a truly joint account. I had a joint checking account [5] with my mother from the time I was 12 until I married at 22. (I did open my own primary account at a local credit union when I went to college, but I kept the joint account as well, for just in case.)
I wrote my own checks and made withdrawals from ATMs. (This was before debit cards as payment became popular. Have I dated myself?) My mom received a copy of my bank statement, so she could check up on me, and provide guidance. She taught me to track my spending and reconcile my records with my bank statement every month.
These days, it is usually possible for a teen to get a debit card through a joint checking account. You can still monitor your teen, and he or she can still get real world experience with plastic payment. Turn down the standard overdraft services when you open the account, and your teen will be denied ATM withdrawals and point of sale transactions when there isn't enough money in the account. Your teen learns a lesson, and you pay fewer fees.
Weigh in: What do you think is the best way to teach your child about plastic payment methods?

A proposed Whitefish development continues to push buttons, even as it's passed by the city's planning board. Second Street Residences has sparked serious discussion about traffic, zoning, and aesthetics among neighbors, even after developers downsized the project.
The project has been reviewed and tabled twice by the Whitefish Planning Board. In it's third reading, developers drew up 143 units - apartments, mother-in-law units, and attached and detached condos for the lot. Originally, 174 units were planned. It was approved by the board Thursday 5-1.
The planning board feels Second Street Residences would give Whitefish more options for affordable housing. While residents aren't against development, they'd like to see growth that fits the character of the neighborhood.
"It's pretty upsetting. It's obviously not something the neighborhood here wants because everyone has lived here for so long," explained Demi Sullivan, who grew up on Armory Road. "We're used to a lesser amount of traffic here and there's kids everywhere. So obviously the traffic thing is kind of a worry."
Whitefish City Council will take a closer look at Second Street Residences on August 19.

In an interviews with Oprah Winfreyand Access Hollywood he talked about being depressed and how he felt like he let everyone down. He also talked about having a body lift surgery in 2007, losing 10 pounds of sagging skin and worrying about stretching his skin once again with his new weight gain.
Erik Chopin has begun a newexercisingregime and although he doesn't expect to ever get back down to 193 pounds again, he is hoping to just get healthy and fit and says "When I am at that I will know!"

That is so sad! When are people going to wake up and realize that this is an internal thing? This is all about how one sees and feels about themselves. Using brainwave entrainment in an alpha or theta state and incorporating it with powerful visualizations is what works. The mind must be working in harmony. The conscious mind has the will but, the subconscious holds the power. It is 88% of our mind. If theses two are not in harmony there is no WILLPOWER. A person can have the best intentions when losing weight but, if they were programmed as a child, such as not feeling loved or if they were neglected, abused, teased etc, the victim will turn this on themselves and continue the abuse of the tormentor for the rest of their lives. Whether if that person is physically there or not. If they can not get past that image they hold of themselves in their mind, they will continue to sabotage themselves. They are in an essence carrying out that person's "work" for them. It is VERY IMPORTANT for people who are modifying their self image to surround themselves with positive, uplifting people who are supportive and nonjudgmental. You must remove the naysayers first no matter how painful this may be. Remember this. If you have negative people around you who continually try and drag you down, you are NO DIFFERENT WHATSOEVER than the abused housewife who keeps running back to her abusive husband. You are NO DIFFERENT AT ALL! Because it is much more comfortable for her to run back to her husband than it is to go out and explore other options. It's safe, well at least in her own mind and it's familiar. Just like a person being overweight and surrounding themselves with people who keep them fat. Including themselves!

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
Hello, I am happy to answer your question.
I think under the circumstances you can consider this property damage to have resulted from an accident. You did not intentionally damage his guitar.
In the end, the problem for him will be that he has no insurance coverage for that guitar. As his friend, and someone who wants to do the right thing and maintain your relationship, you should probably offer to pay a portion of the money it will cost to either replace or repair it. I understand this is tough to swallow, but put yourself in his shoes. You were both a little buzzed so you were both equally making some decisions which lead to the guitar getting damaged.
Again, i don't see that this is your fault, but I would offer him something, half? 1/3? Maybe start by offering 1/3 and see if he is upset and then move to half.
I hope it works out.

Data loss is a nightmare for every IT professionals. It may be part of your office network or your home computers, information may be important or general; but rebuilding all the files is a massive job and at times impossible. It you are running a network for more than 5 years, chances are that you must be having few TBs of data. However a single disk crash can break your business or put you behind few years.
Few of the reasons for data loss can be due to one of the following or combination of events
- Accidental delete
- Overwrite of original file
- Computer viruses
- Formatting of partition
- Deletion of partition
- Corruption of firmware/file allocation table
- Physical damage to disk
No matter how much you try to avoid data loss, once in a while you will have to face when your data gets deleted or your disk gets crashed completely. All IT personnel must have faced similar situation and that's when TestDisk comes handy. Its a free software and highly reliable and useful (wont work if testdisk cant detect your disk due to physical damage). You can download it from following URL:
Its just not for computer harddisk data recovery but can also be used for Memory card data recovery (Called PhotoRec). Some of the features of testdisk are
- Extremely reliable.
- Fix partition table, recover deleted partition
- Recover FAT32 boot sector from its backup
- Rebuild FAT12/FAT16/FAT32 boot sector
- Fix FAT tables
- Rebuild NTFS boot sector

Parade's End – Series Premiere and Episode 2 – Recap and Review
Recap and review of Parade's End – Series Premiere and Episode 2:
When Parade's End premiered on BBC last year, many accused of being little more than an attempt at a Downton Abbey cash-in, particularly after the underwhelming performance of the networks 'Upstairs/Downstairs' reboot. While tonally, the shows couldn't be more different, there are significant points of comparison: both shows take place in and around World War I; both series are scripted by Academy Award-winning screenwriters, with Downton penned by Julian Fellowes (Gosford Park) while Parade's End comes to us from Tom Stoppard (Shakespeare In Love); both are sumptuously filmed and costumed, even if neither does anything new or original with the visual motifs; and, perhaps most amusingly, both series have a downtrodden female named Edith, who can't seem to catch a break to save her life. But the differences mostly end there. For one, the story of Parade's End predates Downton by quite a bit, as the series is based on a series of four novels by British author Ford Madox Ford (so nice, they named him twice), published between 1924 and 1928. However, most significantly, while Downton is a series with Victorian tendencies in its writing and production, Parade's End feels more like the genuine article: high-born men clinging desperately to honor, fallen women, vindictive wives, questionable parentage, war, the whole nine. But while all the ingredients are there, it never really clicks all the way. At least not the first hour. The second episode, however, does a much better job of presenting an argument for why you should stick around.
The miniseries, to be told in five parts, follows the story of Christopher Tietjens (Benedict Cumberbatch), a man who fancies himself the last true English gentleman. He's particularly prickly about honor and about the old way of things, which is why it's surprising when, in the opening moments of the episode, he hooks up with the seductive Sylvia (Rebecca Hall). Sylvia is pregnant, and the paternity of the child is in question, as she isn't exactly observant of the social mores of the time regarding chastity. But Sylvia's promiscuity doesn't prevent Christopher from doing the honorable thing, owning up to his possible responsibility and marrying her. Again, like Downton, time skips forward like Dorothy down the Yellow Brick Road, and we discover that Sylvia is as self-absorbed and vindictive as she is beautiful. She runs off with one of her many paramours, leaving Christopher in disgrace. He takes a journey with his best friend Macmaster (Stephen Graham), and meets a beautiful young suffragette named Valentine (Adelaide Clemens — who looks like a beautiful collision between Michelle Williams and Carey Mulligan). As if on cue, Sylvia announces her intention to come back to Christopher, and like that, we have ourselves a love triangle. Though Valentine is clearly enamored of Christopher, the honorable gent can't bring himself to act on his own burgeoning feelings for her, owing to his forthright commitment to honor and monogamy. It's really the only worthwhile development of the first episode, yet it's filmed so beautifully, as a lost Valentine plays Marco Polo with Christopher to find him in the fog. It does much of the legwork of communicating the grandeur of their yet-to-be-consummated romance, and compels the viewer to want to see them together. It certainly helps that Cumberbatch and Clemens have pretty good chemistry in their few scenes together in the episode, even if there's something weirdly jarring about Cumberbatch as a romantic lead.
The second episode is more fruitful in selling why the series is worth watching, as the characterization here is rich. For instance, we learn that Valentine is earnest about female empowerment, but she's also shockingly naive about sex. When her dear friend Edith Duchemin (Anne-Marie Duff) breaks down and admits she's pregnant by her lover, Macmaster, Valentine reveals that she had no idea you could have intercourse without resulting in pregnancy. While this could possibly be chalked up to a deficiency in sex education that is indicative of the period, at a deeper level it displays that Christopher's ideas about Valentine's experience and worldliness are a misreading of her true character, while Valentine's similar dreams of Christopher's dashing nobility are undermined by Tietjens' redoubtably formal, dry persona. This is no more evident than when Christopher confronts Sylvia about how they are going to handle presenting their reconciliation to the public, despite the fact that they're privately still at odds. When he barges in and finds her in the bathtub, he averts his eyes, and throughout the entire conversation, he goes to great lengths never to actually look at her naked frame, despite having ostensibly fathered a child with her. You know, thinking about it, Christopher and Valentine are kind of perfect for each other, given their somewhat taciturn natures.
By the end of the second episode, Christopher's frequent predictions about the world becoming embroiled in warfare come to pass, and he resigns his desk job to volunteer for active service, rationalizing that he loves every bush and hedgerow of his country. He has a single, heartbreaking scene with Valentine beside a fireplace during a party, and it's one of the best scenes of the entire episode, as they linger on what might have been, now, on the eve of war. Adelaide Clemens is a remarkable discovery, and I hope we get to see more of her in the States, beyond this miniseries, as she has a very engaging, emotive face that can really draw you in. Meanwhile, Benedict Cumberbatch is dependably superb, approaching the whole business of portraying a romantic lead as if it's as alien for him to play as it is alien for us to see. But that's an excellent acting choice for this character, who is caught between his yearnings and his own moralistic duties, if not his principles altogether. Rebecca Hall is also outstanding, playing Sylvia as a spiteful, vindictive temptress with a secret undercurrent of sadness and self-loathing. We spend much of the episode under the impression that Christopher is merely a meal ticket for her, yet the inference that she truly does love him is heartbreaking, particularly when factoring in the notion that she likely only feels this way because she realizes she's losing him. Because nothing is more attractive to a vindictive, controlling person than something they can't have.
There are other great elements sprinkled throughout this two-hour premiere. The affair between Macmaster and Edith, the wife of the salacious vicar (Rufus Sewell), comes pretty close to being the most compelling aspect of hour two, particularly when Valentine snaps at Edith for giving up on love once it becomes apparent that she wants to abort Macmaster's child since Reverend Duchemin will know that it couldn't possibly be his child. The suffragette movement is also well-depicted here, as Valentine serves as an analogue for the changing times, while Christopher represents the increasingly anachronistic old guard. The closing montage, in which we see Valentine's home vandalized by anti-suffragists, Christopher deep in the trenches, and Sylvia ruminating over her scandalous status while dwelling on the animal she'd stated she would most like to return as (a fish eagle) is gorgeously composed. Again, the show wears its high-end pedigree on its sleeve, owing to the sharp, incisive script from Stoppard, and the even-handed director of Susanna White (Generation Kill). The series may not have the compulsive watchability of Downton Abbey, but Parade's End is definitely worth giving a shot, particularly if you're a fan of Julian Fellowes' much-loved series.

Microfinance Self-Help Groups in India
Edited by Frances Sinha
Self-Help Groups (SHGs), a means of reaching rural women with savings and credit services, have taken off dramatically in India, where an estimated 25 million women are members. Their benefits are social as well as economic: SHGs encourage women to become active in village affairs, or take action against domestic violence, the dowry system, or the lack of schools. But some questions remain. How effective and transparent are the groups in managing their finances? Are the groups sustainable? Do the poorest benefit? What does it take for SHGs to mobilize for social action? How effective are such actions? For the first time, detailed field research probes beneath the surface of India's world-renowned SHGs. It explores both social and financial performance in the SHG movement. This text reveals that whilst there are important achievements, especially on the social side, without more strategic attention and more resources these are unlikely to be sustainable.
This book is honest and bold in its assessment of Self-Help Groups and their effectiveness at the community level. ...Practitioners who believe in mainstreaming the SHGs, thereby linking the poor directly with the financial institutions, will find this book very useful.
Vijayalakshmi Das, CEO, Friends of Women's World Banking
The study was thorough, delved into many questions with a variety of techniques, and took great pains to respect the privacy of villagers as they confided their experiences. The result is a rich profile, both quantitative and qualitative, of rural self-help in India.
Within these pages are many answers, and much is left to the reader to draw his or her conclusions. The inevitable has surfaced: the more we know the more we do not, and those of us reading this study will have a growing list of brand new questions. Let us begin to ask them.

The machine park which was left by Mechanical Secondary School made a good basis needed to organizing a manufactured and training workshop. It had great influence on wood profile development. District Management of Vocational Schools incorporated Wood Secondary School to National Vocational Secondary School from the
1st September 1951.
In 1951/52 school year there was organized an exhibition
called: "Vocational Schools in Białystok District" by District Managemant of Vocational
Schools. There were exhibited machines which were produced by the school such as lathes 2
TBS, pillar's drills. Development of own machines production was very important for Białystok District and had a main influence on the position of the region on
full, national scale.
From the beginning of 1952 the school received name "Fundamental Vocational School CUSZ in Białystok". In autumn 1952 to school was handed fibre
industry. Local and renovated changes had big influence on school's
conditions. During these days there were produced many scientific aids to such studies as metal and wood
technology, graph, mathematics, etc.
On 1st September 1960 the school intercepted a new building with theoretical classes, gym, common room and administrative rooms at 64 Sosnawa Street. At the end of the school year it was possible to finish new, theoretical classes' organization. Better local conditions had influence on extra-curricular class development. There was organized photographic studio. Two times a week were screened educational and feature
In 1962 the banner was funded by Parents Committee and officially given in
18th November 1962.
In the 1960-1966 the school took part in celebration the Millennium of Polish Nation. In the 1966/67 school year headmaster's position was taken by engineer Jerzy Siwak. There were 1117 pupils and pedagogical cluster counted 55
From 1971 headmaster's position was taken by Cezary Borsuk and from 1976 the school has started its function as Metal-Wood Complex School and till than have emerged new types of school, professions and educational possibilities. Since
1st September 1976 working people had possibility to obtain the title of wood technology technician in Wood Technical School for Working, which workings till
31st August 1993.
In 1976-1995 also was working school for pupils who's had difficulty with education where they could gain such professions as carpenter, lather, and miner.
1st September 1982 created Vocational Secondary School with mechanic of machines and devices repair, and six years later for fundamental vocational school graduates was given possibility of gaining secondary school education. It has been created
three-years Vocational Wood Technical School.
On December 1990 headmaster's position was taken by MSc Wiesław Chabowski who has been chosen by pedagogical
12th May 1998 Metal-Wood Complex School has received the name of patron General Władysław
In 1999/2000 our school celebrated 70th anniversary of being.

Teen aviator has bright future
Tyrell Rhodes, 16, sits in the cockpit of the Cessna 152 he flies during his pilot's courses at Scott Air Force Base, Ill. Tyrell was born with Cerebral Palsy, but hasn't let that stop him from achieving his goal of becoming a certified pilot. (U.S. Air Force Photo/Senior Airman Amber R. Kelly-Herard)

Teen aviator at Scott AFB has bright future
Posted 11/8/2010 Updated 11/12/2010
Email story
Print story
by Senior Airman Amber R. Kelly-Herard
375th Air Mobility Wing Public Affairs
11/8/2010 -
SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill.
-- Everybody has personal obstacles in life they must overcome.
For a 16-year-old boy from Scott Air Force Base born with cerebral palsy, his obstacles started at birth.
Tyrell Rhodes was always told that he wouldn't be able do things that most others did. Fortunately, his mother kept telling him that he could do anything he wanted.
"When I was younger I had to walk with braces and a walker, but I wanted to prove everyone wrong and walk without any of those things," said Tyrell, now a junior at O'Fallon Township High School.
Tyrell now isn't just walking, but he is flying, literally.
Tyrell entered the Southwest Airlines' third annual Continuing the Legacy in Aviation essay contest and was selected as one of six finalists.
"I feel excited and determined to do better things," said Tyrell. "If I can win an essay contest, I can also achieve other things."
The contest was open to youth ages 11-18. The essay had to explain how the accomplishments of aviators past and present have impacted the current aviation industry and explain the entrant's personal fascination with aviation.
Finalists earned a tour of the Dallas Love Field control tower, Frontiers of Flight Museum, Southwest Airlines headquarters facility--including the pilot training center, maintenance facility, and reservation department--and they will get to operate the Southwest Airlines' flight simulators and meet Tuskegee Airmen and Southwest Airlines leaders.
Tyrell's passion for aviation began when he was young and much of his inspiration came from living on Air Force bases.
The young aviator took his first flight about two years ago at the Aero Club. He had to wait until he was 16 so to could attend the pilot courses at Southwestern Illinois College, which he started in September. Every Saturday he flies a Cessna 152.
"I'm working toward gaining 40 hours for my pilot's license," said Tyrell.
He recently underwent his fifth surgery, which enabled him to fly better.
Before the surgery his feet pointed outward, which made it difficult for him to reach the aircraft rudder pedals while flying. Tyrell did his research, found a surgery, and told his mom about it. A month after going to the doctor's office, Tyrell was in the operating room.
My motto is keep climbing and never level off no matter what your speed or angle of attack is--it's a pilot thing," he said.
According to a family friend, Tyrell's can-do attitude comes mostly from his mom, Tech. Sgt. Robin Rhodes, 618th Air and Space Operations Center (Tanker Airlift Control Center).
"This young man has so much determination, anyone who meets him can see the optimism that he always shows and will learn that their dreams can come true," said Senior Master Sgt. Patrick Jones, 375th Civil Engineer Squadron superintendent, and a family friend. "His mother raised all of her kids by herself and showed them that they are all special in their own way and she nurtures and encourages them to do what they want to do."
Tyrell has two younger sisters. One of his sisters is 14 years old and is 5'10''. When everyone told her she should play basketball, she did track and field. His other sister who is 8 is the only girl on her football team.
Sergeant Rhodes has her daughter's football games and her son's flight lessons during the same time every Saturdays. Since she can't be in two places at once, she attends her daughter's football games and Tyrell flies over every game.
Tyrell originally wanted to be an A-10 pilot, but due to his medical conditions, he will not be able to join the military.
"When I grow up I want to be a commercial pilot for famous people like P Diddy and Usher," said Tyrell. "For a side job, I would also like to provide airplane tours around cities."
Sandy Lang, Aero Club Manager, said, "It's rare in these times to see a youth as determined and driven as Tyrell. His hunger for knowledge and determination to achieve is humbling and we are very proud of him."

ORLANDO, Florida, March 21. NATIONS Capital's Cassidy Bayer isn't messing around when it comes to the butterfly events. After watching her take down legendary Mary T Meagher's 13-14 200 butterfly National Age Group record at the Tom Dolan Invitational in December, it was only a matter of time before its 100 butterfly counterpart fell.
It happened on the fourth night of the NCSA Junior National Championships. Bayer touched the wall in a 53.30, six one-hundredths of a second under Elizabeth Nelson's 53.36 13-14 NAG.
Nelson, now 15, set the NAG record last year and was (somewhat ironically) racing next to Bayer in the A final heat. Nelson took second in the event with a 52.49, 8 tenths ahead of Bayer. First place went to Nations Capital's Janet Hu, who set a NAG in the 17-18 200 butterfly earlier in the meet.

The Web site, www.wvgopconvention.com/onlinevoting/, was up and running by Monday afternoon, and Republicans have until Nov. 30 to register.
Those who don't wish to send the application by computer may download the application from the site, fill it out and mail it to the West Virginia Republican Party, P.O. Box 2711, Charleston, WV 25330. Voters also may register by phone by calling the party headquarters at (304) 768-0493.
Party chairmen also have copies of the voting application available upon request. In Ohio County, applications can be obtained by calling Chairman Marty Wright at (304) 242-2299; in Marshall County, Chairman Brian Long at (304) 845-5071.
''All we're asking for on the online application is your name and address — no social security number or credit card number,'' said Lynn Staton, chairwoman for the State GOP Convention Inc. ''Security shouldn't be an issue.''
Registering to vote is the first phase for West Virginia Republicans seeking to have a voice in who will be the state's Republican presidential nominee in 2008, and the voting leads up to the first State GOP Convention Feb. 5.
Beginning Nov. 1, those wanting to be delegates to the state convention may file to be on the ballot, and at that time the prospective candidates may designate which presidential candidate they will support. Nov. 30 also marks the last day to file to run in the election.
The delegate election — also to be conducted online — begins Jan. 1 and concludes Jan. 14.
Counties will have the option in early January to hold county conventions to choose delegates, and those not wanting to vote online may attend this convention to vote in person. Votes submitted at the convention will be added to online vote totals, which won't be made known until after the county convention.
Winning delegates will attend the State GOP Convention Feb. 5 at the Charleston Civic Center, where state Republicans will choose the state's Republican presidential nominee.
Ohio County will send 36 delegates to the state convention; Marshall, 28; Hancock, 26; Brooke, 21; Tyler, 22; and Wetzel, 16. Delegate numbers are based on the overall population of Republicans in each county.
Staton said she and other State GOP officials aren't certain just how many Republicans will participate in the convention delegate election.
''I don't know,'' she said. ''It's been a topic for discussion here. We'll just have to wait and see.''
She said the State GOP is holding a convention to relieve some of the burden from county ballots, which are inundated during election years with people seeking to be delegates to national party conventions.
''They had been requesting that parties do something to solve the problem,'' Staton noted.
Long said the convention should be ''be a unique, one-time experience that all the major candidates are slated to attend.''
''It's the first time in forever that West Virginia will have a voice in saying who will be the next president,'' he added. ''It brings attention to the state. Hopefully, it will be a positive for everybody.''

First, let's discuss what water's role is in the process of cement hydration. The cement (and cementitious materials like fly ash) in the concrete needs water to hydrate and form calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H) which is the crystalline glue that holds the concrete together. The water is chemically bound (consumed) during the reaction with the cement at approximately 25 pounds of water to every 100 pounds of cement. Therefore, it could be said that a water-to-cement ratio, w/c (or water-to-cementitious materials ratio, w/cm) of 0.25 is needed.
But the reality is that lower w/cm values enhance the strength and durability of concrete even though not all of the cement may have been hydrated. The reason is that with more water in the mixture comes greater dispersion of the ingredients which means less bridging of the C-S-H crystals can take place. The resulting concrete is therefore less dense, lower in strength, and higher in permeability (resulting in lower durability).
The dilemma that exists between wanting lower w/cm values, which result in a denser concrete, and having enough water in the concrete mixture for adequate workability and to optimize hydration is explored further in an insightful article entitled "Curing and Hydration - Two half-truths don't make a whole," written by Ken Hover in the L & M Concrete News in 2002. In that article, Hover states that the solution to the problem is:
1. Restrict mixture water content to bring the cement grains close together, and
2. Apply effective curing measures to minimize water loss, and whenever possible water-curet o externally provide the water needed to sustain hydration.
In order to determine the correct amount of water as part of the design process, the Portland Cement Association's "Design & Control of Concrete Mixtures" states that a properly proportioned concrete mix should have acceptable workability when fresh; durability, strength, and uniform appearance when hardened, and be economical to make.
When water is added to a load of concrete in excess of the design w/cm, the following performance characteristics of the concrete will be negatively affected:
ACI 318 then goes on to require that concrete mixtures comply with the most restrictive requirements for each exposure class according to a table which includes a maximum w/cm ratio and a minimum specified compressive strength (f'c). ACI 318 also includes minimum requirements of other parameters such as air content, cementitious materials types and limitations regarding the types, the use of calcium chloride admixtures, maximum water-soluble chloride ion content in concrete expressed as percent by weight of the cement and other related provisions.

When you're shopping for anything, it's important to look at the big picture. Although consumers can often be turned off of high-price items, some goods can actually go a long way in helping you save money. And while people tend to be fixated on the outlay costs of an item, they may completely ignore the potential cost savings they might realize by owning it. Here we look at some money-saving items that may be worth owning. (For related reading, also take a look at The Apple Ecosystem.)
TUTORIAL: Budgeting Basics
The New York Times ran an interesting piece in late March, "Spoiled by the All-in One Gadget," which addresses the numerous and often unrealized benefits of owning a smartphone. Basically, one of the main takeaway points from the argument was that a refurbished iPhone 3GS has a total cumulative two-year cost of $1800, but allows for savings of $2000.
Some of the everyday products which an iPhone 4 can replace include: music player, GPS, watch, calculator, portable DVD, camera, camcorder and a generic cell phone. Depending on the quality of the replaced items, their cost could easily amount to well over the initially estimated $2,000. Furthermore, smartphones provide the added convenience of having all of the aforementioned accessories in one compact device.
With the numerous capabilities offered by the iPad, tablets can also serve as a replacement for many consumer goods. Savvy technology buffs can use the iPad for many similar purposes to those offered by a computer. Tablets can serve as convenient substitutes for laptops, electronic picture frames, basic handheld gaming device and e-readers. Since Netflix, YouTube and iTunes are also easily accessible through the iPad, it can even be used as a replacement for the television. These few items alone can cost nearly $2,000 - more than double the amount of a 64 GB iPad.
The array of available apps presents another means of saving money on every day products. For example, rather than buying Microsoft Office for $150 (student edition), consumers can purchase the trio of iWorks programs: Pages, Numbers and Keynotes for only $30 to have quick access fundamental business software programs. The number of cost saving applications continues growing daily to include such applications as DJ and drawing programs.
Additional Considerations
While many of the apps offered on tablets are fairly sophisticated, they generally offer a good starting platform for users in addition to a certain level of convenience. Professionals, on the other hand, may still require the expensive versions of the programs. Despite that the free DJ Mixer Pro app might be sufficient for novices, seasoned users might find paying $330 for OtsAV DJ Pro 1.85 worthwhile.
TUTORIAL: What To Know About Credit Cards
Plug-in Hybrids
Although the discussion has focused mainly on Apple products, the same type of reasoning can be applied to other items such as plug-in hybrid
cars. For example, the manufacturer's suggested retail price for a Chevy Volt is currently $40,280. After factoring in the $7,500 federal tax credit, plus any state or corporate incentives, the cost realized by the consumer can drop to approximately $30,000. This price tag is $1,600 greater than that for the average new car purchased in the U.S.
Based on the fuel efficiency offered by plug-in hybrids, the payback period for the Volt to the comparable average automobile level can be around one year. According to the Federal Highway Administration, the average American drives 13,476 miles per year. With estimated average automobile fuel efficiency in the states at 23.2 miles per gallon and gas prices hovering around $3.80, the average American spends over $2,200 per year on gas.
The Volt, on the other hand, lets a driver travel 40 miles per day solely on electricity at an approximate daily cost of $1.50. As 40 miles is close to what the typical American drives on any given day, a common driver will incur a yearly car charging expense of $550, for annual savings of $1,650. For those who are unable to attain state or corporate tax credits, the payback period would generally be around four years, after which steady significant annual savings would be realized. (For more on the volt, see How Does The GM Volt Stack Up?)
The Bottom Line
When making a purchase for a big item, do not immediately be turned off by the price tag; instead, consider the potential long-term cost savings of the item that you'll experience.

I made a card this morning for the soon-to-be parents of a little girl. The sentiment is so sweet, perfect for conveying the wonder a new child brings.
The dp is from SEI and it is wonderfully pink and feminine. The sentiment was die cut with nesties and then added to the card front with dimensionals.

The USC Dornsife Master of Liberal Studies (MLS) program has established The Mary Roney Memorial Scholarship, an annual award given to a meritorious MLS student.
The award will provide support to students who have returned to higher education for graduate multidisciplinary work and who have excelled in the program.
The scholarship's first recipient will be announced and awarded at the program's annual colloquium at 3:30 p.m., Thursday, May 10 in the Hedco Neurosciences Building Auditorium (HNB 100). Graduating MLS students will present their masters projects followed by a reception.
"We are very grateful to the family of Mary Myers Roney, a distinguished alumna of the USC Master of Liberal Arts program, for their generous gift in her memory," said Susan Kamei, USC Dornsife associate dean for the Office of Advanced and Professional Programs and director of the MLS program.
Roney was born in 1933, the daughter of a Methodist minister. She grew up in Camden, New Jersey, and developed intense interests in English literature and European and American history as a young person.
After graduating from Dickenson College in Carlisle, Pa., Mary Roney set aside law school plans to raise her son and daughter with husband Roger. Once her children were older, Roney resumed her education and in 1986 earned a USC Master of Liberal Arts degree, the predecessor to the MLS degree.
While at USC Dornsife, Roney researched the life of Mary James, the mother of Henry James, for her thesis, producing a fictional diary.
In honor of Roney, who died in September 2011, and her love of learning and the enriching experience in the MLA program, her family established a scholarship.
"It is gratifying to hear from the Mary Roney family about how much her MLA experience meant to her," said James Kincaid, Aerol Arnold Chair in English and professor of English, and chair of the MLS faculty board. "This scholarship is a fitting tribute to her intense, lifelong commitment to education for herself and her support of education for others."
The Master of Liberal Studies program offers multidisciplinary graduate studies for professional development and personal enrichment. Weekly evening seminar-style classes are designed for the working professional. MLS students also receive individual mentoring from USC Dornsife faculty and enjoy camaraderie with diverse classmates.
