The Department of Business Administration and Economics at Georgetown College seeks to achieve the following goals:
- To provide students with the intellectual skills needed to deal with the problems, challenges, and opportunities that they will encounter throughout their lives. More specifically, we aim to
- develop students' abilities to analyze problems and formulate appropriate solutions
- develop students' abilities to communicate ideas effectively
- To prepare students to be successful and productive individuals. To do so, we strive to
- prepare students to begin meaningful careers immediately after graduation
- prepare capable, motivated students to enter good graduate or professional programs
The Department is committed to providing a broadly oriented professional education to prepare students for careers in business, government, and not-for-profit organizations. Our majors in Business Administration are built around a large number of required core courses that provide our students the basic skills in the quantitative and qualitative aspects of Business Administration. The business program provides the students with the basic introduction to the primary functional areas of business, and the opportunity to pursue a limited specialization in one or more specific functional areas. Additionally, these courses allow the students the opportunity to develop a substantive business knowledge prior to choosing an area of specialization. A student majoring in a departmental program will be required to maintain a minor in an area of interest outside the department. If a student wishes to have more than one specialization, there must be three courses or nine semester hours in each specialization that are not counted in any other specialization.
For the description of the Accounting major, please see Accounting.

Introductory screencast on how to use the Forms module. By Mika Välitalo of Plan Finland and Ville Ikonen.
Views: 2940
Hi Simon, I believe Laura has already pointed you at the pages that we have explaining Frontline Forms. I hope that these have answered your question. - Alex
how / where do i get client for frontlineSMS for my mobile phone installation ?
Kind Request
Dear all. Solve out the pb on my own >> it's linked to the international code: need to use +country code and not 00Country code!! That's all. Sebastien
Hi All,
I installed successfully FrontlineSMS system and it's working perectly. I created a sample form and sent it to members in a specified group. The members received an email saying that "there is a new form available" + the name of the form. I installed successfully the frontlineSMS form client on the mobile phone but I am challenged now to find the form, which is a java enabled form. Any help on how to get the form via the mobile phone. I am currently using a Nokia 2220 slide model.
Hi Tracey
Do you want to email your request(s) to email@example.com and we'll help out from there?
Thanks (and congratulations on your great work!
hello all
i just wanted to report that the installation and training of the frontline system went very well last month. as my profile indicates i work for the Farmer Voice radio project operating from South Africa. i spent a full month traveling all over kenya and malawi to install frontline at 6 radio stations in kenya and 7 in malawi- including both national broadcasters (MBC & KBC) we are using the system as part of our feedback system - basicallt to give the farmers a voice so that they can direct the content of the agricultural programming we put out. its going well so far so a HUGE thanks to frontline for making it all possible.
2 queries- i want to down load the forms video to distribute on CD to the stations- as many have no connectivity. i got the other 2 video's from the link listed below (sharebox)- but still need the forms one- any guidance. second- i got an email saying frontline for radio has just been released but i cant find the download for it- want to give it a try nd see if we can use it in our expansion countries next year
thanks again for a great product and all the support

Respiration, is the biological function of the respiratory system, by which an organism, through the physiological processes of respiration absorbs oxygen and disposes of carbon dioxide.
Psychologists are interested in respiration from a number of points of view. How do psychological factors affect respiration? How does respiration effect psychological factors such as concentration, emotion etc.?
See the following subjects :
Abnormal or pathological breathingEdit
- Agonal respiration
- Apneustic respirations
- Artificial respiration
- Ataxic respiration
- Biot's respiration
- Cheyne-Stokes respiration
- Hypoventilation (also known as respiratory depression) occurs when ventilation is inadequate to perform needed gas exchange
- Inspiratory paroxysmal respiration (also known as "reverse sneezing"), a phenomenon observed in dogs (Especially small dogs)
- Hyperventilation
- Respiratory arrest, the cessation of the normal tidal flow of the lungs due to paralysis of the diaphragm
- Respiratory therapy or Inhalation therapy, the assessment and treatment of respiratory and cardiovascular pathologies

- Aquatic respiration, the process whereby an aquatic animal obtains oxygen from water
- External respiration, the process by which gases are exchanged between the atmosphere and the pulmonary loop of circulation.
- Muscles of respiration
- Reptilian respiration
- Respiration stimulating drugs
- Respiratory tract in humans is the part of the anatomy that has to do with the process of (physiological) respiration
- Respiratory rate, the number of breaths an animal takes per minute

|Forums: Index → Narutopedia Discussion → Was Itachi 11 when he joined Akatsuki
was itachi 11 when he joined the akatsuki because when he joins orochimaru soon later trys to take his body and thats when he leaves and in the anime the akatsuki members say its been 10 years since he left so was he 11 or is itachis age in the info box wrong?spar_fighter he was still at the hidden leaf village when he was 13 kakashi said so in itachis debut he was anbu leader
- He was eleven years old and this question would have been better asked on Itachi's talkpage. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 22:17, September 6, 2009 (UTC)
- There is so many floors to itachis age because its true that orochimaru left akatsuki because of his failed attempt to take itachi's body, which was ment to be 10 years ago. But kakashi also said when fighting itachi that he was made head off ANBU black ops at 13 so how does that work out?
- He stayed in Konoha for about two years after he joined Akatsuki?
- It all fits, really: Itachi enters the ANBU when he's eleven years old. He gets the mission to assassinate the Uchiha clan, so he looks for Madara and joins Akatsuki. He kills Shisui and gains the Mangekyou, but the Third Hokage postpones the mission in favour of diplomacy. While in Akatsuki, Itachi meets Orochimaru and defeats him, causing Orochimaru to leave Akatsuki. Two years later the negotiations with the Uchiha clan have failed and Itachi massacres the clan, leaves the village, and joins Akatsuki full-time. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 01:02, September 13, 2009 (UTC)
Guys you are wrong, sorry to say that. During Uchiha massacre Sasuke was 7 years old. And Itachi is older than him some 5-6 years. And he killed his clan shortly after he joined ANBU, so its 13 most likely. He left the Leaf after that and joined Akatsuki ...—This unsigned comment was made by HitsujiV (talk • contribs) .
No Itachi was 13 when he massacred his clan. He is 5 years older than Sasuke and at that time Sasuke was only 8.

It List: Best Beauty Buys for 2011
One thing is for certain: You shouldn't be worrying about smeared eye makeup, shiny skin, and parched lips while at a party or on a date. Here, Hollywood's top makeup artists reveal their best secrets and favorite long-wearing products—so that you can toast friends (or steal a kiss!) with confidence.
Clé de Peau Eyebrow Pencil
Those looking to fill in sparse brows should steer clear of pencils that are overly creamy or greasy "because they'll rub off," says Molly Stern, who tends to the arches of Reese Witherspoon and Leighton Meester. "I like Clé de Peau's version because it's a hard formula—you can stroke on hairlike wisps and they'll stay on really well." Another long-wearing option: wetting a powder shadow and applying with a brush. "Just make sure you don't choose a color that's too dark or else your brows will wind up looking superintense," says Stern.

THE author of an acclaimed debut novel will be appearing in Ledbury next week to sign copies of her book.
Hannah Kent, whose novel Burial Rites has been long-listed for the Bailey's Women's Prize for Fiction, will be at Ledbury Books and Maps on Thursday, March 27, at 1pm.
Hannah Kent, born in Adelaide, Australia, in 1985, is the co-founder and deputy editor of literary journal Kill Your Darlings, and is completing her PhD at Flinders University.
Burial Rites is set in 19th-century Iceland and tells the story of a young woman sentenced to death for killing her lover and the priest appointed her spiritual guardian, who is compelled to try to understand her story.
Lindsay Jackson, owner of Ledbury Books and Maps, said: "I'm delighted that Hannah will be coming to sign her book, which is just out in paperback.
"The Bailey's prize, formerly the Orange prize, is probably the top prize for women's fiction, and it's unusual for a debut novel to be long-listed for it."

An Action Learning Project (ALP) is a thirteen-week team consultation that enables companies to develop or improve a business process. It provides an exercise for a team of extremely bright Rice MBA students to integrate the concepts they have acquired in their courses to issues facing your business.
Applications for 2014 ALP are due by November 12, 2013. Applications will be processed as they are received, and timely applications that meet the program's objectives will receive priority. Students will begin work in mid-January and complete written reports and oral presentations by May 2014.
To apply for an ALP at your company: http://business.rice.edu/alp2013
By Shatha HusseinWe caught up with Chloe Dao, winner
of Project Runway Season 2 and owner of Rice Village boutique Dao Chloe Dao
Chloe Dao is on the move. It's been eight years since the designer brought the winning title from season two of Project Runway home to Houston, and with a fresh spring/summer line and new projects on the horizon, she's showing no signs of stopping.
Dao says her current collection is "a mix of preppy with touches of tribal. The collection is light with lots of movement in each piece."
The owner of Rice Village boutique Dao Chloe Dao recently signed on to become a judge and co-executive producer on Project Runway Vietnam, a spinoff of Lifetime Network's competition reality show for aspiring fashion designers.
Her Kirby Drive storefront is a top destination for Houston fashion lovers and she's also a face of The Greater Houston Convention and Visitors Bureau's "Houston Is" campaign featuring the hippest Houstonites.
It's hard to believe that in 2010, Dao's business hit a slump. The momentum from the Project Runway win and successful sales of her designs on QVC had begun to dwindle, so she turned to the Jones School's Action Learning Program (ALP) to get an outsider's perspective.
During an ALP project, four to six first-year MBA students collaborate to help revive a struggling business with guidance from faculty advisors. The students tackle issues ranging from brand management to financial modeling and then present their findings and recommendations to senior management, all free of charge.
The ALP team, including Maria Alejandra Peleaz*, Lacey Fluor Gossen, Mallory Engler, Lamecia Butler, John Levine and Jimmy Moffett (all class of 2012), suggested fresh ways to bring in revenue and cut costs, which Dao continues to implement in her business model. "We are always working to reach the goals they set for us," she says.
The store's name was changed from Lot 8 to Dao Chloe Dao to capitalize on Dao's national name recognition. Last year, the store's interior was remodeled to reflect the new brand, as was the website. "We updated our online shop and are working to make more product available there," Dao says.
As for the future, Dao hopes to see her line in stores throughout Texas and internationally in the next ten years.This article is from the Spring 2013 issue of Jones Journal*Maria Alejandra Peleaz '12 was inadvertently left off the ALP team list of the Chloe Dao project in the spring 2013 issue. The editorial staff regrets this error.

POLICE who executed a drug search warrant at a Blackburn house found the occupier in bed and cannabis worth £1,300.
Blackburn magistrates heard when officers woke Kyle Freeman he pointed out cannabis in a bedside cupboard and in a bag downstairs.
Freeman, 24, of Sandwich Close, Blackburn, pleaded guilty to possessing cannabis.
He was given a conditional discharge for 12 months and ordered to pay £100 costs.
The magistrates made an order for the destruction of the drugs.
Philippa White, prosecuting, said Freeman was asleep in bed when police paid him an early morning visit.
She said: "The cannabis recovered would realise £1,300 on the open market." Imran Hussain, defending, said Freeman had bought the cannabis for his own use and had paid £300 for it.
"He co-operated fully with the police," said Mr Hussain.

We have had specific questions this week about middle school models and available research. Do you have any specific information on what is most effective with this population?
Middle School programs
I posted this in Next Steps as well, but I have also been receiving requests for information on using bystander strategies with elementary school age children as well. Would love to know if there is anything out there now or if there are things in the works for this age group.
I believe that MVP has been doing work with this age group. Also, I think Foshee's Safe Dates is for middle and high school age? Not sure to what extent that program has bystander related focus, though I do know their program works to engage the whole community (parents, others) in prevention. And I know that program has alot of empirical evaluation and support.
Thank you everyone for your questions and comments. The Live xCHANGE will be ending at 3:30 PM EST. Please continue the disucssion through April 15, 2011. During this time, the forum will not be a real time discussion but the forum will be open for questions, responses and comments. The NSVRC will respond daily to posts.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 10/5/2013 (1565 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. -- Northern Virginia's War of the Beavers pits human sprawl against Castor canadensis in a swampy morsel of fauna and flora surrounded by concrete, cars and money.
The setting is a miniature utopia called Huntley Meadows Park in privileged Fairfax County, half an hour south of the White House. This is a swampy second- and third-growth woodland choked with cattails. It is described, nevertheless, in a brochure available at the Visitor Center, as "a rich, natural island in the suburban sea."
Though it harbours, as the pamphlet crows, "majestic forests, wildflower-speckled meadows and vast wetlands bursting with life," Huntley Meadows Park is not exactly Longfellow's forest primeval.
It has been, since colonial times, a fertile dairyland, the proposed site of the world's largest Zeppelin port, an asphalt test loop, a National Guard artillery base, and a Naval electronic espionage facility where towering antennae used to tune in nightly to Radio Moscow.
Today, with the Navy gone to sea, Huntley once again is home to dozens of species of locally uncommon birds, a flotilla of ironclad snapping turtles and so many deer that the county SWAT Team has to be brought in each winter to snipe at whitetails. (Though not at the Wilson's Snipe, which nests here.)
Meanwhile, those pesky beavers have run amuck -- messing with the water levels, felling oaks and hickories, and generally doing what they have been doing since the Middle Pleistocene.
"For an adult beaver, the only predator is the car," Huntley's director says, addressing a gathering of pro- and anti-beaverites.
(We are not unaware that, last summer, sisters aged eight and 11 were bitten by a rabid beaver while swimming in nearby Lake Anna. And we all have seen the recent headline from Belarus: Man tries to take photo of beaver; it kills him.)
The director is an amiable expert named Kevin Munroe who knows every rail and redbud in the park. It is his duty to explain to the people of Fairfax County why, after 21 years of bitter contention, a detailed Beaver Behaviour Study, and more than 60 public meetings, the park's stewards finally have decided to spend $3 million to turn Huntley's seasonal ponds into a gated community for North America's largest rodents.
This will involve the installation of a "Clemson Water Leveler System" comprising vinyl sheet pilings sunk three metres into a cordillera of lakeside mounds, sliding doors to keep the swamp in a perpetual state of "hemi-marsh," and underwater pipes with cages around them to keep the beavers from gnawing through the arteries of their own purported salvation.
"Duck farms," grouses a fellow in front of me.
"The beavers should have a seat at the table," another man seated behind me complains.
"The beavers would eat the table," I turn around and inform him.
"Do we really want to mess with nature?" Munroe asks us. "Because biodiversity is in decline, the answer is yes. We have damaged the natural ecosystem so badly, it is our duty to repair it."
A woman named Norma Hoffman is introduced to the meeting as a founder of the Friends of Huntley Meadows. She tells us that, one recent day, she was staffing the front desk when a morose young boy approached.
"Why are you so sad, Johnny?" she asked the lad.
"I didn't see an elephant," he sobbed.
So I ask Kevin Munroe: "Why don't you just put up a fence and bring in elephants?"
"Our goal is not necessarily to make visitors happy," he replies. "It is to re-educate people about local native habitat."
The meeting concludes and Munroe leads us out of the Visitor Center and along the boardwalk that leads to the beaver lodge. We see muskrats and several species of turtle, sliding through the broth, but no beavers. They are downstairs, tending to their kits.
"Twenty years ago, I would have said 'Protect, but don't manage,' " Munroe says. "I grew up reading The Lorax. I would have been the one standing across the gate to keep hunters from coming in to shoot the deer. That was a tough decision to make: You're going into a wildlife sanctuary to blow away Bambi?
"But we've seen invasive plants take over the forest and deer herds decimate the woodlands. Before Europeans came here, deer were controlled by wolves, by mountain lions, by Native Americans. How many of those do we have in Fairfax County now?"
"Is this the human future?" I ask him. "Tiny fragments of the so-called 'natural' world heavily managed?"
"The short answer is yes," he replies. Then he tells us that river otters have been spotted this spring in Huntley Meadows Park.
"River otters!" the audience clamours, exultant at the news.
"River otters eat baby beavers," says the naturalist, damming our joy.
"It's OK," says Kevin Munroe. "Circle of life."

macs - Thursday, January 10, 2013 - linkI really hope that a major oem will release a good Android set top box with top nothc SoC like Tegra 4 or Snapdragon. Would be great for a simple htpc now that xbmc runs on android.
A Nexus like that would be a great device. Nexus Q rebirth maybe?? Reply
amdwilliam1985 - Friday, January 11, 2013 - linkI support that.
Please have the set top box including miracast capability, sometimes I just want to mirror my phone/tablet to my tv. Reply
JNo - Friday, January 11, 2013 - linkI third it. Can't come fast enough.
The Ouya will do well in this area if people buy it in droves as it's getting xbmc direct support iirc.
However, I fear it won't be as functional as I'd want - not sure if it will have gigabit or only 10/100. Also USB 2 only? And no dedicated remote although an android phone with appropriate app may suffice. Reply
Arnulf - Friday, January 11, 2013 - linkAny idea on pricing and availability of Avenger ? Looks like dieal non-x86 PC and should run Linux very fast. Reply
HVAC - Friday, January 11, 2013 - linkI saw the first picture and thought: "Why name something a 'Fluenger'?" Reply

Apple Has Sold 100 Million iPods - Lance Says His Keeps Him Motivated
Today Apple announced that the 100 millionth iPod has been sold, making the iPod the fastest selling music player in history. The first iPod was sold five and a half years ago, in November 2001, and since then Apple has introduced more than 10 new iPod models, including five generations of iPod, two generations of iPod mini, two generations of iPod nano and two generations of iPod shuffle.
As you know, iPods, iPod-Nike combos and iPod accessories seem to be a big hit with geeksugar fans and geeky fans around the world, a fact Apple's CEO Steve Jobs seems to genuinely appreciate. And heck, an iPod even stopped a bullet from hitting a soldier last week. Well deserved kudos indeed. Here's more:
"At this historic milestone, we want to thank music lovers everywhere for making iPod such an incredible success," said Steve Jobs. "iPod has helped millions of people around the world rekindle their passion for music, and we're thrilled to be a part of that."
Celebrities also lined up to sing the praises of their favorite gadget,
- "It's hard to remember what I did before the iPod," said Mary J. Blige, GRAMMY Award-winning singer. "iPod is more than just a music player, it's an extension of your personality and a great way to take your favorite music with you everywhere you go."
- "Without the iPod, the digital music age would have been defined by files and folders instead of songs and albums," said John Mayer, GRAMMY Award-winning singer-songwriter and guitarist. "Though the medium of music has changed, the iPod experience has kept the spirit of what it means to be a music lover alive."
- "I take my running shoes and my iPod with me everywhere," said Lance Armstrong, seven-time Tour de France champion. "I listen to music when I run. Having my music with me is really motivating."

Minus grads Scott, Harris, Gateway chasing 3rd straight title
A couple very familiar faces are gone from Gateway's lineup, which didn't go unnoticed when this year's roster first came together.
"It felt like playing a five-on-five pickup game with random people on the street," senior D.J. Boyce said with a laugh. "It was definitely a process."
Gone are Tyler Scott and Barnett Harris, two Division I recruits who helped Gateway win the past two WPIAL Class AAAA championships. Yet, these new-look Gators might contend for a third straight title, a feat accomplished only once in Quad-A.
With a number of rising underclassmen and three roster additions, Gateway has a talented rotation that coach Mitch Adams called one of his deepest.
The team drew talent from a junior varsity team that finished 17-1 a season ago. Some may underestimate these Gators, but "that would be a mistake," said junior Tom Kromka, a 6-foot-5 forward.
"There's definitely going to be a lot more depth on the team," he said. "We have a lot of faces that people don't know about."
The Quad-A landscape also has changed since last winter. Class AAA champion New Castle and Class AAA runner-up Hampton were moved up during realignment and placed into Section 3, home to teams from the north.
New Castle, the only team to win three straight in Class AAAA (1997-99), could be favored to win another. But Gateway won't concede its streak.
"We've got two rings, and I want a third," Adams said. "I'm starting to like jewelry."
Boyce and Kromka are the only returning starters. The lineup has only five seniors, and will rely heavily on juniors and sophomores. Among them will be junior Shomari Thomas and sophomore Daylon Harris (6-5). Freshman Aidan Howard (6-5), a transfer from North Hills, also will contribute. Boyce, a three-year starter, has been impressed with them.
"I was real surprised, actually, because a lot of times when young dudes come up they're kind of nervous," Boyce said. "None of them are nervous. They're all ready to play."
New to the team are senior Jordan Landfair (6-2) and senior Deon Baker (6-4). Returning seniors Steve Hartnett and Matt Shorr also are part of that rotation.
"It's a different feeling, because I'm used to coming in and seeing Tyler and Barnett," Boyce said. "I grew up with them, so I was always around them playing basketball. It's different, but I'm very happy I get to run the show now with my team."

How to Pack for Kilimanjaro
Tools: Hunting knife, block and tackle with spreader bar and butcher's hooks
1. Track, kill, gut, and behead the animal.
2. Hang your block and tackle from a very sturdy tree. With your hunting knife, pierce the animal's rear legs just above the hocks and behind the sturdy tendon. Thread the hooks through the holes, attach them to the spreader bar, and hoist the carcass just high enough that it's completely off the ground.
3. Make a single, shallow cut through the skin of each rear leg, trying not to cut into the muscle, from the pelvic region up to the hock. Make a circular cut around the leg at that point; then, working down the leg, peel off the skin like a sock, scraping with the knife and pushing with your fists.
4. Next, loosen the skin from the body, working from the belly toward the spine. Then skin the front legs as you did the rear ones. Lastly, free the skin from the neck with a firm downward pull.
1. Pick your spot well. The best place to stand is at the bartender's station, where he's actually mixing the drinks. The farther you are from the station, the longer you're likely to wait.
2. Have your money in your hand where the bartender can see it, and avoid gesturing. Keep looking at him; he'll make eye contact when he can. Did we mention no gesturing? That's important. You're not trading pork bellies.
3. Tip well — at least 20 percent — or be prepared to wait (and wait and wait) for your next round.

Nearly two weeks after the interest rates on federal subsidized Stafford loans for low-income students doubled from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent, Congress is still sparring to reach a compromise. And up until yesterday, it looked like it might. Earlier this week, the Senate tentatively approved a bill that would tie all Stafford loans to the rate of 10-year U.S. Treasury Notes plus a 1.8 percent markup with a cap of 8.25 percent. Graduate and federal Plus loans would come with a 4.5 percent markup over the rate of 10-year Treasury notes and be capped at 9.25 percent.
Reports indicate that the bipartisan deal had gathered the required support but was ultimately delayed yesterday after the Congressional Budget Office reported that the bill would cost an estimated $22 billion over ten years to implement, according to The New York Times. On Wednesday, the Senate also killed a separate bill that would extend the 3.4 percent interest rate on subsidized Stafford loans for another year.
"I am encouraged today that there seem to be reasonable (discussion on) these issues on Capitol Hill," says Heather Jarvis, an attorney specializing in student loan education. "But in general, I've been appalled really about how politics have taken the front seat in Washington as has been the case lately, and the needs of students and families have been subject to that circus."
According to Chris Lindstrom, higher education program director for the U.S. Public Interest Research Group, the current Stafford loan jump will add approximately $1,000 per loan to low-income students' debt load. For those who take out a new loan for each year of college, that means an extra $4,000 over a four-year tenure.
Mark Kantrowitz, senior vice president and publisher of Edvisors.com, a collection of college admissions and financial aid websites, says the Stafford interest hike isn't as bad as it sounds. "The monthly loan payment (on a subsidized Stafford loan) will go up by less than $7 over a 10-year term," he says. "It's not the end of the world."
The real problem, Kantrowitz contends, is the amount of debt students take on to earn their degrees, an issue that none of the bills currently floating through Congress address. Both Kantrowitz and Jarvis are also concerned that some proposals, including the Smarter Solutions for Students Act, which passed the House in May, will ultimately increase student debt instead of ameliorating it. Under Smarter Solutions, all Stafford loans would be tied to 10-year Treasury notes plus 2.5 percent with a rate cap set at 8.5 percent. Plus loans would come with a 4.5 percent markup and a 10.5 percent interest rate cap.
"(Smarter Solutions) would only be a better deal for students for a very short period of time" while interest rates remain low, says Jarvis.
A joint statement released this past May by the student research and advocacy groups The Education Trust and The Institute for College Access and Success asserted that under Smarter Solutions, students would save in the immediate future, but by the time this year's incoming freshmen class graduated, their interest rates would already exceed the current Stafford rate. Mark Kantrowitz described the bill and others like it as "essentially interest rate increases masquerading as decreases."
While Jarvis believes that a compromise is possible, Kantrowitz is skeptical that a deal will be reached at all. "There are so many differing opinions on this issue, and they're still fairly far apart on these issues that I think nothing is going to happen," Kantrowitz says.

FIREFIGHTERS across East Lancashire are set to stage a 24-hour strike next week.
The industrial action will be the longest in a three-year campaign by the Fire Brigades Union (FBU) against an 'unworkable' pension scheme.
The move comes after the government confirmed it would implement a new scheme without further negotiations.
The strike will take place from 9am on Thursday, June 12. A shorter strike is planned for Saturday, June 21, from 10am to 5pm.
It has also been announced that between the two strikes, firefighters will not carry out any voluntary overtime or conduct training of strikebreakers.
Under the government's proposals, firefighters who are forced to retire before the age of 60 on health grounds will have half of their pension taken away. Steve Harman, the Lancashire secretary of the FBU, said: "We are extremely disappointed that the government is still not seeing sense on this. They need to make amendments to the proposed scheme.
"We believe that it will fail and that younger members could be priced out of it.
"I don't know how the government thinks that every firefighter will still be able to operate on the front line at the age of 60.
"I would encourage the public to be concerned about this and I'm sure that most will support the firefighters.
"Our members are extremely angry about this and they will keep fighting. They will not approve the government's proposal which they deem to be unfair."
The decision to strike was made at a meeting of the FBU's executive council on Wednesday. On Tuesday, union officials met the Fire Minister Brandon Lewis to discuss the pension scheme.
The FBU has said that increasing numbers of members are considering leaving the pension scheme as a result of its 'decreasing affordability'.
Firefighters in East Lancashire last striked on January 3, which followed a strike on New Year's Eve and on November 1.

Snow days may cause problems for retiring teachers. Teachers are paid for these days when they occur, but they must be made up at a later date. These make-up days may force some teachers to work past their planned retirement date.
Separation of service means you are no longer "physically" performing work in the classroom. If you plan to retire June 1, but snow make-up days cause you to work June 1 or later, you are physically performing work in the classroom and are not eligible to retire until July 1.
Your first benefit payment would then fall in July. It would include a prorated payment back to the last day you were physically in the classroom.

Did you know?
Queen Elizabeth II and Nelson Mandela are among those who have visited Vergelegen Wine Estate
'I saw this place with exceptional pleasure, since everything there was laid out wonderfully finely,' wrote Reverend Francois Valentijn in 1700.
Valentijn was commenting on Vergelegen, meaning 'situated far away', after it had been acquired and developed by the son of Simon van der Stel, Willem Adriaan, who was then governor of the Cape.
The Cape Dutch house was so big and opulent that it incurred the wrath of the Free Burghers of the colony, leading to the recall of the governor to Holland in 1708.
What so impressed the priest about this Somerset West wine estate was that the uncultivated land had rapidly been transformed by extensive planting of vineyards, fruit orchards, and majestic Chinese camphor and oak trees.
Five of the camphor trees at the entrance to the manor house at Vergelegen wine estate have been documented as the oldest living trees on the sub-continent and were declared a national monument in 1942.
When purchased by Anglo American Farms in 1987, the mansion at this estate in the Somerset West winelands was extensively refurbished and decorated with early Cape furniture that told of its 300-year existence.
The magnificent gardens have also been restored. There are the heady perfumes from the Rose Garden, brilliant colours of the North Garden and scents of the Margaret Roberts Herb Garden.
Since 1994 the estate, as befits its reputation, has been visited by the likes of Queen Elizabeth II, Nelson Mandela and Hillary Clinton.
And then there are the wines. The flagship Bordeaux-style red has twice won the prestigious Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de la Lande trophy at the International Wine and Spirits Competition. The estate has also twice won the annual Best of Wine Tourism Award.
The estate also prides itself on its conservation initiatives including alien clearance, participating in a leopard monitoring project with the Cape Leopard Trust and breeding bontebok which were once at risk of extinction.

Libraries are major sources of information for society and they serve as guardians of the public's access to information more generally. The advent of the digital world has revolutionized how the public obtains its information and how libraries provide it. Libraries help ensure that Americans can access the information they need – regardless of age, education, ethnicity, language, income, physical limitations or geographic barriers – as the digital world continues to evolve. Core values of the library community such as equal access to information, intellectual freedom, and the objective stewardship and provision of information must be preserved and strengthened in the evolving digital world.

The following is a walkthrough of the Drive-By mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Quick Walkthrough
- Drive into Ballas with Sweet, Ryder and Big Smoke.
- Take out all four groups of Ballas.
- Use the Pay 'N' Spray to lose the cops then take everyone back to the hood.
Detailed Walkthrough
CJ will meet everyone at Sweet's House before setting off for Ballas territory.
Ballas Territory
CJ will drive around into different groups in the Ballas Territory, so the OG's can perform drive-bys, it is too much easily to run over the Ballas, so the car doesn't has risk to take damage, you can walk outside the car to collect ammo but don't get too far (20 steps from the car) or the mission will fail
Losing the Cops
Once the guys have killed the last Ballas, you will get a two star Wanted Level and be ordered to lose the cops by going to the Pay 'N' Spray. If you try to pick up a police bribe it will not work. After doing this, wait about 10 seconds without committing any crimes and then the wanted level will be gone and you can return the guys to Grove Street.

'Twas your attitude I'm responding to. I've not been able to find the Americanists, perhaps you need to give me a link, so I can better understand your argument.
You think it's my disregarding it, but even languages like Turkish, Italian, and French change their spelling when it's necessary to have such morphophonological changes.
Ah ah, maybe you're using your own dialect as a 'supradialect' because for me words like Musician have a /j/ in it. I make a distinction between <-cian> and say <shun>, and the /j/ is it.
Now your last statement is an good one to consider. I have thought on that specifically because of issues of dialect vs. standard dialect. My initial thought is to send it out, and then if the dialects merge (as media, television, movies, and the internet are helping do) then there shan't be a problem. I also figure it may also emphasis dialectal difference more and maybe even help promote awareness and acceptance.
You seem keep arguing about it being a system for English speakers to already be used to, but that's not the goal. I know that'd factor in, but if people adopt the system it'd only take a few months to get used to it.
linguoboy wrote:(My emphasis.) I'm sorry you can't tell the difference between "telling what I think" and "whining", but fundamentally that's not my problem.
And if this is your attitude to the mildest constructive criticism, it won't ever be.
See my remarks above. This was the same challenge the Americanists faced and they found a different solution, one that I think is much more intuitive for English speakers. You could at least make an attempt to explain why you feel your solution is superior.
The morphophonological alternation which underlies this "quirk" isn't bad or unnecessary, it's simply a feature of the language. You disregard it (and other features like it) at your peril.
But ci doesn't represent /ʃj/, it represents /ʃ/. There is no phoneme cluster to split. There's a complex interrelationship between the elements of English spelling. You can't assign a symbol a value which it has only in a very specific context (e.g. before i + vowel in Latinate words) and expect this to make any sense to the average user. That's one of the main points of the Zompist article I linked to.
The only alternative to promoting a supradialectal solution is promoting a specific dialect. Given the highly plurilocal nature of modern English, this bias is likely to prevent your system from ever being given a chance.

A White American who seems intent upon single-handedly making reparations for every wrong Black Americans have suffered at the hands of the White Man. The keynote characteristic of the mudscuttle is that he will reflexively ascribe nobility of character to Black folk. The mudscuttle imagines his behavior indicative of enlightened sophistication, when the behavior is instead a sinister form of prejudice in which bigotry has been replaced with intransigent advocacy. A mudscuttle boss will brazenly assign choice assignments to Blacks and turn a deaf ear to the most rational requests from Whites for parity in the workplace. It is typical of the mudscuttle to express nauseating levels of adoration for famous Black people, wildly disproportionate to actual accomplishment.
I'll never get promoted! My mudscuttle boss gave the last three promotions to Shaniqua, DeMontross and M'Kell!

Today's Tuesday Tune is 1460 swear words in the making, in as many days. It's also one of those tunes that many might refer to as a "banner moment" or "the light at the end of the tunnel" or even "the day that Rabid never thought would come."
Carol of the Bells is a Ukrainian Christmas carol based on local Ukrainian folklore. As the story goes, a swallow would fly into a house and proclaim bounty and blessings to all. I suppose the tune is meant to mimic that of swallows flitting and flying about.
This Carol of the Bells tune is an altogether fitting arrangement for Yahoo and my's first duet. Mostly because I feel like that same pesky swallow. Except for swooping in and proclaiming bounty and blessings, I swoop in a holler "GET IN THERE AND PRACTICE THE PIANO!"

Image quality isn't as good as one of the "pro" point-and-shoots, but the N isn't meant to be a pro camera; it's an easy-to-use, on-the-go snapshot camera for people who want better than your standard cell-phone pics. $299.99

Evolution Hoax
Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's live interview on August 28, 2010
And also for those who spend their wealth to show off to people, not believing in Allah and the Last Day. Anyone who has made satan his comrade, what an evil comrade he is! (Surat an-Nisa, 38)
When a hypocrite gives his money, he suffers a lot and he very much regrets giving his money. He gives little to show off, but then he regrets for spending his money and he burns inside.
They do not believe in Allah and the last day, this is their illness.
Anyone whose comrade is satan, whose comrade is a hypocrite, what an evil comrade he is. A hypocrite wants comrades all the time "come and be my friend, come to us, join us" he says.

So: two Dior dresses on the red carpet at last night's Oscars (Sharon Stone and Nicole Kidman). Good sign for the company. However, said actresses, as well as Natalie Portman, who not so surprisingly wore Rodarte, refused to discuss the Galliano issue with reporters — i.e., no one came leaping to his defense. Not a shocker, but also not exactly encouraging, in the celeb/relationship stakes. Read more

Try this, directly from Italian, or so I am led to believe: portolan. Relating to ports.

Dictionary.com doesn't like this one, preferring portolano, but a few others do. It isn't quite an adjective, though. I'll let Wikipedia demonstrate so I don't have to do all the writing myself.
Portolano becomes Rutter:
No mention as to why it became rutter and not what I consider the more sensible router.A rutter is a mariner's handbook of written sailing directions. Before the advent of nautical charts, rutters were the primary store of geographic information for maritime navigation.
It was known as a periplus ("sailing-around" book) in Classical antiquity and a portolano ("port book") to Medieval Italian sailors in the Mediterranean Sea. Portuguese navigators of the 16th century called it a roteiro, the French a routier, from which the English word "rutter" is derived. In Dutch, it was called a leeskarte ("reading chart") and in German a Seebuch ("sea book").
Portolan is essentially a map:
Portolan or portulan charts are navigational maps based on compass directions and estimated distances observed by the pilots at sea.
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.

ok, no worries
awesome- keep up the great work
Just had a look through your project, going by the photos your having fun with it. Getting some great looking images as well.
Clarence, you must be a technical genius! I have sooooo enjoyed looking at your pics. They are truely artistic and masterful. Think you could remove the wine glass one though - it's definitely not up to your standard. You are a seriously clever photographer. May you have your Father's eye for beauty and a tiny portion of His creativity and genius.
Thanks very much for your compliment Lyn Hope you give it a go. Maybe just try it for a week first? You may find it becoming easier as you go along.
I am really impressed by your Photo a Day - congrats on such a varied and fine collection.
I had great intentions to do something similar - but it never got off the ground lol.

We have already learned how the phonetic mnemonic system can be used to remember playing cards. Once you learn this, here is an interesting trick that you can perform for your friends and family.
Deck Memorization
Have your friend shuffle the deck. Now, go through the cards and use the link system to link each card to its neighbor. For example, if the ten of diamonds (keyword=dice) is adjacent to the two of hearts (keyword=hen), you could form a visual association of a hen laying some dice instead of eggs. With practice you should be able to go through the entire deck in a few minutes. Now you can recite the entire deck from memory by going through your link list and remembering the keywords.

Decompressive surgery is done to relieve pressure on the spinal
cord and/or spinal nerve roots caused by age-related changes in the spine and
to treat other conditions, such as injuries to the spine, herniated discs, or
tumors. Decompressive laminectomy is the most common type of surgery done to
treat a narrowing of the spinal canal (spinal stenosis).
The lamina is the part of the vertebrae (the bones that make up the
spine) that forms a protective arch over the spinal cord. Laminectomy removes
parts of the lamina and/or thickened tissue that is narrowing the spinal
canal and squeezing the spinal cord and nerve roots. This procedure is
done through a surgical incision in the back (posterior).
In cases of cervical (neck) stenosis, the incision may be done on
the front (anterior) or back (posterior) of the neck. Surgery from the front
does not include cutting into the lamina, so the procedure is usually referred
to as a type of decompressive surgery rather than "decompressive
Reducing pressure on the nerve roots can often relieve pain and
allow resumption of normal daily activities.

The Crap We Missed – Thursday 9.17.12
Welcome to Thursday's The Crap We Missed, where we play another inspirational round of Who Gave Birth Three Months After Jessica Simpson, Yet Looks Like She Never Ate An Entire Pizza Hut? We've also got Priscilla Presley and Mickey Rourke, who I defy you to prove to me aren't the same person, as well as what could be one of Ke$ha's dozen or so labia hanging out of her Thunderdome get-up. There's really no way to tell without a breathing apparatus and the steely nerve of a bomb squad technician.
Did I mention Dinklage and Willow were in here? Enjoy,
