Oswald's Tale: An American Mystery
Random House, 1995 - 791 pages
"In this book, Norman Mailer asks the essential question about the assassination of JFK: not "Who killed Kennedy?" but "Who was Oswald?" for only by answering the latter question can we hope to answer the first. In 1959, Lee Harvey Oswald defected to the Soviet Union and was sent to Minsk, where he lived for two and a half years and remained under constant KGB surveillance, on suspicion of being a CIA agent. In 1993, Norman Mailer spent six months in Russia, where he interviewed Oswald's former friends and sweethearts and obtained exclusive interviews with the KGB officers assigned to monitor Oswald's every move. He was also given exclusive access to the KGB files on Oswald, including transcripts of conversations overheard in the apartment that Lee shared with his Russian wife, Marina." "In Oswald's Tale: An American Mystery, Mailer reconstructs the life of this ambitious if doom-laden young man, giving a full account for the first time not only of the Minsk years, a hitherto uncharted period in Oswald's life, but also of Oswald's disastrous childhood, his years in the Marine Corps, and the events leading from his return to the United States in 1961 to his death in Dallas in 1963. The portrait of Oswald that emerges will greatly surprise readers who have thought of Oswald as a hapless loner: socially awkward, inarticulate, and an unremarkable loser."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Poor Knights Islands Marine Reserve
Just off New Zealand's Tutukaka Coast and washed by warm currents from the Coral Sea, the Poor Knights Islands are an international icon.
1 / 2
1 / 2
Above and below water, the Poor Knights Islands are abundantly populated with unique and incredibly varied plant, animal and fish life, and thoroughly deserve their protected status, with World Heritage status pending.
Converging warm water currents, a micro-climate and thousands of years of separation from the mainland have resulted in a unique biodiversity. The fish life is incredible.
Hundreds of kingfish circle in packs, koheru dart and entire schools move as one. Huge schools of pink maomao drift in the blue, porae mooch and graze the rocks, Lord Howe coralfish, golden snapper, toadstool and black spot grouper.
A total Marine Reserve and Nature Reserve, the 11 million year old Islands' volcanic origins provide myriad spectacular drop offs, walls, caves, arches and tunnels.
Laying claim to an astounding Maori history and the world's largest sea cave (and only living dinosaur and largest insect) the remarkable Poor Knights thoroughly deserve their protected status.

The Exam Results Helpline is back again this summer with around 40 careers advisers ready to help students with unexpected exam results.
The team will be answering questions on the Helpline's 0808 100 8000 number as well as through dedicated Twitter and Facebook accounts for the second year running.
Students can call the line if they haven't secured the grades they were predicted, to get advice if they have changed their minds about their chosen university/course, and for guidance if they've done better than they expected.
Approximately 6,000 people called the helpline last year and as well as students, the Exam Results Helpline Advisers also provide help and advice to a large number of parents.
The Exam Results Helpline is staffed by the country's best independent and highly experienced careers advisers. Students across the UK who have received their exam results (A levels, GCSEs and BTECs) can call in to talk through their options and to get advice about their future learning and career options.
Raminder Mahil called the helpline last year when her son received his GCSE results and was applying to college, her advice is to not panic: "Always seek advice. I found the Exam Results Helpline invaluable and the person I spoke to gave me fantastic support."
The helpline answered thousands of calls last year on topics including resits, vocational courses, gap years, funding, careers and employment.

The Accuracy International AX AICS Chassis is designed for the Remington 700 Short-Action and Long-Action rifles. Chassis include a Folding Stock, AI patented Keyslot mounting system (13" for short-action/16" for long-action), sling points and 5 rd magazine.
Avaiable Remington 700 Caliber Options: .308 Win, .300 Win Mag and .338 Lapua.
Colors: Black-Pale Brown-OD Green
A combat proven feature of all our sniper rifles is the polymer and alloy chassis (not merely a stock), which provides the rigidity, strength and durability necessary to provide a stable, rugged platform for the barreled action in all weather and in any environment.
Accuracy International Chassis Systems bring the ergonomic and functional benefits of our latest advanced AX and AT sniper rifle systems to the Remington 700 platform.
In the ATAICS and particularly in the AXAICS, these benefits are delivered with degrees of modularity and configurability that cannot be achieved with any traditional stock. Quick and easy to install and requiring no specialised gunsmithing, both chassis systems are available for short and long Remington 700 actions in .308 Win, .300 Win Mag and .338 Lapua Magnum families of cartridges. Today's snipers need to rule the battlefield day and night. AI Chassis Systems make that more achievable.
Accuracy International was started in 1978 by a group of national and international target shooters, one of which was a two time Olympic Gold Medalist. Designed by shooters, for shooters. The original design's ethos combined two factors into a unique package: namely the incorporation of performance enhancing features learned in Olympic and international target shooting onto a rifle platform exhibiting full militarty ruggedness. The current designs are faithful to the orginal concept but also benefit from thirty years of continuous improvement. These advances are not cosmetic but are driven by the needs of users, highly trained military and police units in over 60 countries world-wide. On a daily basis such units are exposed to "live" tactical situations in the most demanding environments where first shot accuracy is critical. All componets are manufactured to Accuracy Internaional designs to ensure that they must perform, something that cannot be achieved with a ruggedished sporting weapon.
1. Butt Pad:
Friction locking mechanism for quick and tool-less pad height and angle adjustment. Pull length can be adjusted by 40mm without tools and further still with the addition of 10 and 20mm spacers.
2. Adjustable Cheekpiece:
Lateral/height adjustment. Stores a 4mm hex key for barrel removal/refit and re-positioning of accessory rails.
3. Sling Points:
Quick detach flush cup style for rapid sling repositioning. Three points are located on the main chassis, and removable/repositionable points are located on rail sections on the fore-end.
4. Folding Stock:
This allows the stock to be folded when travelling in vehicles or for parachute insertions. The stock locks in the folded position for sercurtiy and the avoidance of noise. It is released by pulling firmly on the butt. The wear compensated hinge ensures total rigidity in the extended position. Stock folds to the right and reduces the rifle length by 260mm (˜10").
5. Pistol Grip:
User configurable in minutes with replaceable pistol grip backstraps.
6. 5-Round Magazine:
One detachable steel magazine is included. This industry-leading design is corrosion resistant and low friction for reliable feeding.
7. AX Bipod Adapter (Optional):
Supplied with a Harris adapter. An AI spigot adapter is available as an accessory.
8. Modular Forend System:
Modular forend system with a octagonal tube and AI's patented KeySlot™ system allows the user to configure accessory rails for mounting optics, thermal/NV imaging equipment, bipods, slings and other accessories. The forend can be easily removed for transportation or maintenance in less than 30 seconds with the 4mm hex key stored in the cheekpiece.
AX AICS For Remington .308 Rifles- Includes 13 inch rails
AX AICS For Remington .308 and .300 Rifles- Includes 16 inch rails
9. Accessory Rail:
With AI's patented KeySlot™ system, sections of STANAG 4694/Mil-Std 1913 accessory rail can be attached anywhere on the fore-end, so rail mountable equipment can be positioned with complete flexibility. The top accessory rail is matched to the angle on the action rail. The KeySlot system has been successfully MIL-STD tested for vibratio, shock and resistance to movement and rotation.
Stockside Optional Colors: Black, Pale Brown and OD Green:
AI Butt Spike (Optional): Price-$279
The threaded extendable spike enables the user to observe the target area for an extended period with minimal fatigue. Designed with quick and fine adjustment features out to 3.2" (80mm), it retracts up flush and out of the way for mobility.
The AX AICS Chassis is designed for the Remington 700 rifles chambered in .308 Win, .300 Win Mag and .338 Lapua.
Engineering Excellence:
When a customer selects an Accuracy International rifle, it's because consistency, reliability and high performance are critical to the task in hand.
"Form Follows Funtion" is a concept just as applicable to product designs as it is to architecture. At Accuracy International, they pride themselves upon understanding the necessary "function" of their products by staying in constant contact with the community that uses them and using the knowledge they gain as the starting point for their design process. Some things are fundamental: given the nature of their use, sniper rifles must be highly accurate, rugged and reliable. Consequently these characteristics are incorporated into every product they make.
To achieve these goals requires the deployment of advanced tools and methodologies. AI employs world class computer aided design and analysis tools to optimize function and durability. By combining these methods with advanced prototyping technology on site, AI can rapidly assess and compare a large number of design options, and iterate towards the optimum design concept. AI's prototype development processes are enhanced by the use of a high speed video camera that allows its engineers to analyze the behavior of the products in exquisite detail, whether it be visualizing the gas flow through a muzzle brake, seeing how the rifle chassis flexes when dropped, or capturing the movement of the firing mechanism. Only by understanding the performance of the weapon to this degree can AI take its product designs to the next level!
The foundation of AI's approach to manufacturing is a culture of continuous improvement and employee involvement based upon the teachings of W. Edwards Deming, who transformed Japanese manufacturing processes in Japan after WW2. Deming's philosophy is built around key principles ultimately aimed at bringing value to the customer. They include building quality into the product at the design stage and focusing on it throughout the production process, identifying all of the steps in the process chain, making the processes flow efficiently and striving for perfection by continually identifying and eliminating waste.
To achieve this, AI deploys quality and statistical tools based on the Six Sigma methods developed by Motorola in 1986 and strict compliance with the ISO 9001 quality management system.
These methods are the foundations of the entire manufacturing process and besides dramatically improving the quality of the products, they deliver other benefits as well. In the worlds of the well know consultant Philip B Crosby, "Quality is Free". Far from increasing the costs of the manufacturing process, these methods actually produce dramatic efficiencies by:
Significantly reducing scrap and rework
Reducing the sizes of the stock and work in progress inventories
Minimizing warranty costs
Application of these methods is complemented by a continuing investment in tooling and machinery to make the best use of the latest technologies to enhance product quality and productivity. Since its reorganization, AI has invested in machinery, technology and people to bring more component manufacturing in-house, particularly for items critical to product quality and performance.
To have total control of the quality of the product, AI also partners with key suppliers to assist them with developing processes for component manufacture and to gain their expertise in improving its own internal processes.

Ah, the familiar sounds of rustling papers, fast paced walks from meeting to meeting room, and that all too common groan, a mixture of frustration and exhaustion in equal parts, remind me that it is that time of year in the schools. It is "IEP season".
In honor of the countless hours of reassessment, data collection, and paperwork completion you will be doing over the next few months, I thought I'd write a post to help out those of you who are once again, hitting the keyboards and staring at that blank section on your IEP. You know the one I'm talking about. You spend a lot of time thinking about it only after all the data and classroom observations are compiled. You know it needs to be completed but after writing your student's present level of performance, his goals and objects and of course his service time, who has the energy left to even think about classroom accommodations and modifications. Well that is where I step in, at least for those of you who have students with hearing loss on your caseloads.
Last year at this time I had a few students with hearing loss managed with both hearing aids and cochlear implant (CI) on my caseload. As a multidisciplinary team, we had to do some research to find appropriate accommodations and modifications for those students. However, I recently read the book Children with Hearing Loss: Developing Listening and Talking Birth to Six, by Elizabeth Cole and Carol Flexer which provided some clinically useful information on the specific deficits a child with hearing loss might have in the classroom setting. I wish I had read this last year while I was struggling with the multidisciplinary team to write an appropriate IEP. But now that I found this information, I thought I would adapt parts of it and compile that information into a table for quick reference in the future.
The accommodations and modifications in the graphic below are suggestions of possibilities you may attempt to provide for your students. This is by no means an exhaustive list nor would every student benefit from each suggestion. Therefore, I recommend you use this list as a guide only while working collaboratively with your multidisciplinary team to determine appropriate accommodations and modifications for each student on an individual basis.
You will notice that the first accommodation for any hearing loss is the use of an FM system alone or in conjunction with auditory management (e.g. hearing aids, cochlear implant, other technology). Research has shown the use of individual FM systems positively impact students with hearing loss of any severity level AND that classroom or sound field FM systems benefit ALL students. One can't help but wonder how different a student's behavior would be in a classroom where the speech to noise ratio was in fact the recommended +15-20 dB rather than the typical +4 dB (Cole, Flexer 2007). That is why the recommendation of an FM system is first as it is not only practical but very beneficial even for a child with very mild hearing loss.
Here are the levels of severity, classroom difficulties and possible accommodations and modifications for children with hearing loss.
You can download your copy of the above materials here.
I hope these materials help guide you and your multidisciplinary team when writing IEPs for your students with hearing loss. Do you have additional modifications or accommodations you would add to this list? Let us know by commenting below.
Thanks for stopping by and reading our second installment of Kid Confidential. If you have any topics you would like us to discuss here, feel free to share. You just might see your topic suggestion in one of the upcoming columns. I'll meet you back here on the second Thursday of next month.
Until then, remember, knowledge is power, so let's keep learning!

Inouye honored in Capitol Rotunda
Hawaii Sen. Daniel Inouye joined a rarefied group of Americans on Thursday, becoming just the 32nd person in the country's history to be given the honor upon their death of lying in the Capitol Rotunda.
Vice President Joe Biden, Cabinet members, lawmakers and dozens of tearful staffers bid a final "Aloha" to Inouye during a solemn ceremony in the stately Rotunda. It was the same space where a freshman senator from Hawaii stood under the dome nearly 50 years ago and listened to the "shuffling of feet" as people quietly paid their respects to a fallen president, John F. Kennedy.
Story Continued Below
( PHOTOS: Daniel Inouye's career)
Inouye, a World War II combat veteran and the second-longest serving senator in history, died Monday from respiratory complications at age 88.
Powerful politicians and anonymous staffers came out to pay their respects to Hawaii's patriarch. There was Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and former Transportation Secretary Norm Mineta, who was sent to Japanese internment camps at the same time Inouye was enlisting in the U.S. Army during the Second World War. U.S. Ambassador to China Gary Locke stood next to Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki.
And House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) was flanked by Biden and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), a momentary show of bipartisanship amid the gridlocked fiscal cliff talks.
Inouye's flag-draped coffin, resting on the same catafalque where Abraham Lincoln's body was lain after his death, will remain in the Rotunda for public viewing through 8 p.m. Thursday, making him the first Asian American to receive that honor. Others include Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson, Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford, House Speaker Henry Clay, and civil rights icon Rosa Parks.
"It's fitting that he should lie in state beneath the enduring symbol of our democracy, the dome of the Capitol. …" Reid said. "Dan Inouye was an institution and deserves to spend at least another day in this beautiful building in which he dedicated his life."
Inouye was remembered as "Danny," a patriot, war hero, civil-rights leader and unabashed Democrat, even as he carried himself in a quiet and dignified manner in the halls of Congress. Raised in Honolulu, he watched planes fly overhead and bomb Pearl Harbor; because he had medical training, Inouye spent five days there tending to the injured and dying. He later would volunteer for an all-Japanese American Army unit called the 442 Regimental Combat Team, even though the U.S. government had declared all Japanese Americans "enemy combatants."

The Met Office has announced a list of new storm names for 2015/16, including Frank, Phil and Wendy - all chosen by the public.
The Met Office together with Met Eireann recently announced a pilot project to name wind storms that have the potential to cause "substantial" impact on the UK or Ireland.
Derrick Ryall, head of the public weather service at the Met Office, said: "We have seen how naming storms elsewhere in the world raises awareness of severe weather before it strikes."
The Met Office received thousands of responses by e-mail and social media, but to maintain consistency with the US National Hurricane Centre naming convention, there are no names beginning with the letters Q, U, X, Y and Z.
The final list of names for autumn and winter 2015/16:
A: Abigail
B: Barney
C: Clodagh
D: Desmond
E: Eva
F: Frank
G: Gertrude
H: Henry

Following up on the story about the Roxio Cineplayer BD With 3D not being available anymore and the fact that there remain only three software Blu-ray 3D-capable players I've decided to check the current situation with them as well. I often get questions if somebody would be able to watch 3D movies on his old PC or laptop on a new 3D HDTV, something that seems easy at first, but things may get problematic depending on what is the video card in the system. The problem is that not all software Blu-ray 3D players support every popular 3D output mode and not output modes are available for all output formats.
Below you can find the requirements for playback of 3D videos on HDMI 1.4 3D HDTVs with the different solutions for playing back Blu-ray 3D movies, these are as per the website of the software developers requirements and specifications published on their websites… and they are not that clear.
Arcsoft TotalMedia Theatre 5
– NVIDIA GeForce 200/100 Series (Mobile/Desktop) or newer
– AMD (ATI) HD 5000 series or newer
– 2nd generation Intel Core processors with Intel HD Graphics
Corel WinDVD 11 Pro
– NVIDIA GeForce 500/400/300/200/100/9 series/8 series or newer
– AMD Radeon HD 6000 series or newer
– 2nd generation Intel Core processors with Intel HD Graphics
Cyberlink PowerDVD 12 Pro/Ultra
– NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 or newer
– AMD Radeon HD 6800 series or newer
– 2nd generation Intel Core processors with Integrated Graphics
So if you have a system with these specifications as a minimum (the specific GPU depending on the manufacturer), in theory you should not have trouble playing Blu-ray 3D movies on a 3D-capable HDTV using HDMI 1.4 frame packaging. These software solutions of course also support Nvidia 3D Vision, 3D DLP Checkerboard and Row Interleaved (passive 3D), Anaglyph and maybe a few extra ones and with them things are generally easier to setup and they simply work. The real problem is making things work using HDMI 1.4 frame packaging and it might turn to be more problematic, in my experience, to make an integrated Intel GPU work, so as a good advice I'd recommend to download the trial version of the three software Blu-ray 3D players mentioned above and try them all on your PC before deciding which one you should buy. This can save you a lot of trouble in actually making thing work as you want them to and not having to rely only on some requirements listed by the software developer as practice tends to show that these not always turn out to be true or things simply don't work as you expect them to. Also, another good advice is to always use the latest official video drivers and to have all the updates for the player software as these do help in resolving some issues, although in some rare occasions they also might break compatibility.

Here is the conclusion to 58 year old male CC: Unconscious.
This was an unusual case with an unfortunate outcome.
Let's look at the heart rhythm again.
The rhythm is slow and irregular with strange looking complexes. At first glance it's difficult to distinguish QRS complexes from T-waves. It looks like a pre-morbid rhythm.
However, on closer inspection we can see that the QRS complex is present but near isoelectric. The QRS duration is > 200 ms which is extremely abnormal. Whenever you see a QRS complex > 200 ms you should suspect hyperkalemia!
In addition, when the S and T-waves merge together and the ST-segment becomes non-distinct you've moved into what is sometimes referred to as the "sine wave†ECG. This is an ominous finding.
Unfortunately, at the time this ECG was recorded (several years ago) our paramedics weren't trained to recognize hyperkalemia. It's one of the many ways the paramedic profession has evolved throughout the course of my career.
However, they knew the heart rhythm was "bad†and they wanted to see something a little bit less scary on the monitor so they elected to perform transcutaneous pacing (TCP).
Did they achieve capture?�Let's take a look.
They did not achieve capture, although I can understand whey they thought they had intermittent capture.
A shows the morphology of the underlying rhythm. B shows a (presumed to be) transcutaneously paced QRS complex. It is classic for false capture. C shows a "phantom†QRS complex (caused by pacing artifact) that coincidentally falls directly on top of the (unsensed) native QRS complex. This makes it appear as though capture has been achieved. D shows a "phantom†QRS complex falling in the absolute refractory period of the underlying rhythm (proving beyond any shadow of a doubt that these QRS complexes are the result of pacing artifact).
So what ended up happening?
The patient survived to arrival at the emergency department. However, during transfer of care the emergency physician asked that the TCP be turned off so that he could examine the underlying rhythm.
Moments later the patient was shocked x2 by his ICD and the resultant heart rhythm was asystole.
He was not successfully resuscitated.
It was later that they found out the potassium level was > 9 mEq/L (I don't remember the exact value).
I don't know why this patient's ICD shocked him. I was not present when the device was interrogated. But I suspect that it may have been confused by the TCP.
If I am ever faced with a situation in the future where I feel that TCP is indicated and the patient has an ICD I will be contacting Online Medical Control and asking permission to disable tachy therapy with a ring magnet.
Obviously there are a lot of lessons to be learned from this case.

Communication for adults with intellectual disabilities and complex communication disorders is a team effort. People with these disorders are living longer, higher quality, independent, and more productive lives thanks, in part, to alternative and augmentative communication technology.
Speech-language pathologists need to understand the settings in which these adults live. No longer do they live in large institutions but in more intimate and natural independent or small group homes.
A crisis may also be at hand as aging caregivers, whose adult children with intellectual disabilities and complex communication disorders live at home, can no longer care for them. According to The State of the States in Developmental Disabilities (2013), in 2011, 71.5 percent of people with these disabilities lived with family caregivers. Over the next few decades this group will flood the group home system as their parents age.
Communication is always important and critical for a person's independence. Family caregivers may tend to speak for the adult with a disability and anticipate needs more than staff at a group home. Independent means of communication becomes that much more important once that adult moves into a new environment. This is where the SLP has a major responsibility in finding the most appropriate, functional evidence-based AAC intervention.
Many factors exist beyond the skills of the adult with intellectual disabilities and our AAC recommendations, however. Future AAC success is a team effort between the SLP, families and paid caregivers/group home staff. Some staff members are highly supportive; some are not. Informal assessment of the environment in which the affected adult lives is crucial. It can be a delicate process to help the staff member see the purpose of AAC. If the group home staff does not "buy in" to the AAC device recommendation and plan, there is a high risk of abandonment.
Group homes, although typically a better solution than nursing homes for those without complex medical conditions, have their own challenges. Moving to a group home is a major life change for people who have typically lived their whole life with their families and who often have a significant difficulty adjusting to change. In the state of Pennsylvania, where I practice, I have been encouraged to see that the group home system has placed a high level of priority on communication over the past few years. As a result, I have been seeing more adults with intellectual disabilities and complex communication disorders in my practice.
Another challenge in group homes is staff turnover. The State of the States in Developmental Disabilities (2013), reports that hourly wages for workers in community intellectual/developmental programs averaged only $10.14 per hour. A report published by the Paraprofessional Healthcare Institute in 2011 noted that almost half of direct care workers (including group home staff) live below the federal poverty level. Meanwhile, their work can be rewarding but is often psychologically and physically challenging, so it is clear why staff turnover is high. And, unfortunately, frequent staff turnover is confusing, frightening and can lead to a lower quality of life for these adults.
I have seen many adults with intellectual disabilities and complex communication disorders go years if not decades without AAC intervention. It is especially painful when, as children, they used AAC in school and transition into the adult world with no reliable means of expression because either the device was returned to school or the device had become obsolete. There is also a high level of abandonment of AAC devices once the school support is gone. In nursing homes, there can be speech therapy support available. In group homes residents must be seen for therapy as outpatients. Once the resident is back home, it becomes the responsibility of the group home staff to ensure the AAC device use is supported and maintained.
As part of the intervention plan, we must assist the group home staff to add communication goals to their mandated plan of care. We must also train the staff members in the care, maintenance and programming of the recommended device. Adults with ID are living longer, and, as technology has become an accepted part of all of our lives life, AAC interventions will continue to be a necessity. We should remember that an AAC device recommendation is not a once and done process. An adult with ID may need numerous device upgrades throughout their lives. Determining the best AAC device is not the end of the process, it is only the beginning.
Carrie Kane, a speech language pathologist at the Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Network in Allentown, Pennsylvania, specializes in AAC assessment and treatment for adults with communication disabilities. She developed and is the coordinator of the adult outpatient AAC program in Good Shepherd's Assistive Technology Center.

International Student Newsletter, June 2013
Mount Royal welcomes international students as a continuation of its mission to teach the whole person: soul, mind, and body, helping form the next generation of leaders and servants for their communities around the globe.
Both presently and in the past, we have hosted students from China, Ecuador, and Spain.
Mount Royal understands the needs of international students. We are more than willing to give extra attention to any of our students, but especially those students who are faced with the daunting challenge of adjusting to a different culture and school. Because of the inspiration that drives our whole mission, we are dedicated to letting international students know how much we appreciate and value their gifts and talents. In order to allow those gifts to flourish, we offer several adaptable transitional programs to ease the matriculation process. Our programs are designed to introduce the student to the school and its policies, enabling them to make adjustments and arrangements (books, uniforms, supplies, etc.) before the actual start of classes. We therefore require all international students to report earlier than domestic students, so they can participate in an orientation, where they familiarize themselves with the school, our faculty, and our families. Important evaluations are also conducted in order to place the student in a position where he or she can thrive academically, and socially. Mount Royal can also provide additional ESL training for international students who need to polish their English before they fully enter the curriculum.
We encourage all international students to fully participate in the daily student life of the school both in and outside the classroom. This expectation is met by meeting the regular course expectations of their teachers, and through participating in as many of the following extracurricular activities as possible: athletics, the arts, student government, campus ministry, etc.
Before You Apply
Mount Royal Academy strongly encourages entry into the 9th or 10th grade for international students. Exceptions are made on occasion for well-qualified students interested in other grades. Please inquire for more information.
When You Apply
Mount Royal is registered with the SEVIS, the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System and is authorized to issue I-20s to international students so that they may acquire an F-1 Visa. In addition to the regular Apply Online for admission, international students must submit a SLEP or TOEFL score, conduct a Skype interview with one of our admissions staff, and submit copies of a passport and bank-verified financial statement.
***This school is authorized under Federal law to enroll nonimmigrant alien students.
Applicants from China
International students coming from China should work through the Cambridge Institute for International Education to apply to Mount Royal. We partner with Cambridge to help students work through the application process, and also to provide continuing educational support upon placement. To submit an application, please submit this online inquiry form.
If you are an international family or student interested in acquiring more information about what makes Mount Royal such a special, unique, forming, enriching, and academically exceptional experience, please contact Derek Tremblay, director of Admissions, at email@example.com .

About TPRCA
If there is anything inevitable about owning a home in the Texas Panhandle it's that sooner or later you will be faced with repair or replacement of your roof. And let's face it, there are some things you simply shouldn't cut corners on. You remember your roof, don't you? That thing on the top of your house protecting everything you own from the next round of severe weather? There are certainly many more exciting ways to spend money on your home...a big screen TV, a state-of-the-art computer, designer furniture, new carpet, redecorating...but what happens when the part of your house that keeps all that warm and dry needs attention?
Who can you trust?
How about beginning your search for a reputable roofer with an association of professionals in the industry who have joined together to ensure that you are not taken advantage of in a bad situation. The Texas Panhandle Roofing Contractors Association (TPRCA) was founded to protect consumers against fraud and to educate them about liability and acceptable standards of workmanship. Our members are distinguished by their commitment to ethical business practices and quality craftsmanship that they will stand behind.
Why is this important?
Major storms in our area represent a windfall to less than reputable contractors hoping to make fast money. Demand for service following a storm far exceeds supply, placing these people in a very enviable position. In addition, contractors from all over the country descend on the marketplace offering unbelievable low process - but not much more - for their services.
TPRCA is all for healthy competition in the marketplace. What we take issue with are contractors who aren't licensed, who haven't paid and don't even bother to carry their liability or workman's compensation insurance and/or who lack the skill to build a roof that will pass inspection (and who won't be around to fix things once you've discovered this). Our mission is to protect you, the consumer, from fraud.

|MLBPA/MLB News Release
Major League Baseball (MLB) and the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) have officially negotiated the addition of Rule 7.13, covering collisions at home plate, on an experimental basis for the 2014 season, the parties jointly announced today.
In 2014, the rule being implemented by MLB and the MLBPA (set out below) will prohibit the most egregious collisions at home plate. The new experimental rule sets forth that:
In determining whether a runner deviated from his pathway in order to initiate a collision, the Umpire will consider whether the runner made an effort to touch the plate, and whether he lowered his shoulders or pushed through with his hands, elbows or arms when veering toward the catcher. The rule that will be in effect in 2014 does not mandate that the runner always slide or that the catcher can never block the plate. However, runners who slide, and catchers who provide the runner with a lane to reach the plate, will never be found to be in violation of the new rule. Beginning immediately, Clubs will be required to train their runners to slide and their catchers to provide the runner with a pathway to reach the plate at all levels in their organizations.
MLB will distribute training materials throughout Spring Training and discussions on the new rule, including the retraining of catchers and base runners, will be held during MLB's meetings with managers in the weeks ahead. Additionally, MLB and the MLBPA will form a committee of players and managers to review developments as the season progresses and to discuss the possible application of the new rule in 2015.
Finally, instant replay will be available to review potential violations of Rule 7.13. The Umpire Crew Chief will have discretion to invoke instant replay in order to determine whether Rule 7.13 was violated.
(1) A runner attempting to score may not deviate from his direct pathway to the plate in order to initiate contact with the catcher (or other player covering home plate). If, in the judgment of the Umpire, a runner attempting to score initiates contact with the catcher (or other player covering home plate) in such a manner, the Umpire shall declare the runner out (even if the player covering home plate loses possession of the ball). In such circumstances, the Umpire shall call the ball dead, and all other base runners shall return to the last base touched at the time of the collision.
Rule 7.13 Comment: The failure by the runner to make an effort to touch the plate, the runner's lowering of the shoulder, or the runner's pushing through with his hands, elbows or arms, would support a determination that the runner deviated from the pathway in order to initiate contact with the catcher in violation of Rule 7.13. If the runner slides into the plate in an appropriate manner, he shall not be adjudged to have violated Rule 7.13. A slide shall be deemed appropriate, in the case of a feet first slide, if the runner's buttocks and legs should hit the ground before contact with the catcher. In the case of a head first slide, a runner shall be deemed to have slid appropriately if his body should hit the ground before contact with the catcher.
(2) Unless the catcher is in possession of the ball, the catcher cannot block the pathway of the runner as he is attempting to score. If, in the judgment of the Umpire, the catcher without possession of the ball blocks the pathway of the runner, the Umpire shall call or signal the runner safe. Notwithstanding the above, it shall not be considered a violation of this Rule 7.13 if the catcher blocks the pathway of the runner in order to field a throw, and the Umpire determines that the catcher could not have fielded the ball without blocking the pathway of the runner and that contact with the runner was unavoidable.

After completing two tours of duty as a Marine combat correspondent in Iraq, I traveled to Afghanistan as a civilian war correspondent in April 2012. The following story features a spur-of-the-moment mission that saw one Marine injured and more than 20 Taliban fighters killed.
Skip to photos of the mission >
I arrived in the middle of things, just after a hostile action on Afghan police headquarters. The word around camp was:
"Police Chief Wali Koka is officially tougher than Chuck Norris."
That was when the Marines found out that the Musaqelah District Police Chief would survive a gangland-style hit, which left him full of holes and down to one eye.
Just days earlier, in broad daylight three motorcycles carrying men in police uniforms pulled up and parked in front of the district headquarters. The men dismounted the bikes, turned, and opened fire on the guards, killing them instantly.
The attackers wasted no time as they scrambled through door and headed straight to the chief's office.
"They had (intelligence) on the building, that much is for sure," said Capt. Ben Middendorf, company commander, Golf Company, 2nd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment. "And their costumes were complete, all except for the shoes. Tennis shoes, instead of boots."
The first attacker burst into Koka's office and let loose a burst from his AK, hitting the chief multiple times. Koka fell to the ground, pulled out his pistol, and unleashed hell at close range. The first man went down, and as the second was hit entering the door, he triggered a suicide vest.
The blast blew his remaining comrade to pieces, and lodged three ball bearings in Koka's eye.
"This guy was the lynchpin to stability in that area, so, in his absence, we knew we had to do something to regain control," said Middendorf.
The idea was to take a company of grunts, about 200, march them through the dead of night to a rendezvous point, rest, and then move on a key supply hub in the middle of fiercely held Taliban territory. A small village, called Lewar Jel Jay, and it was the organizational jump off point for enemy operations in the area.
This is what Marines call, "Company movement to contact."
"Pardon my language, but I couldn't fucking believe it when I finally gave the order, I said — prepare for a frontal assault on Lewar-Jel-Jay."
(Writer's note: At the behest of his fellow Marines, this story is for Colton Carlson—a young American who's man enough to apply his own tourniquets before the smoke clears. Here's to you, Colton!)

Larceny Bourbon is the latest release from Heaven Hill Distillery. This small batch bourbon consists of 100 barrels "or less" aged in the 4th, 5th, and 6th floors of the aging warehouse. The name refers to John E. Fitzgerald's (Old Fitzgerald namesake) propensity to use his keys to the aging warehouses to "steal" bourbon from the very best barrels at his disposal. These barrels became known as the "Fitzgerald barrels".
I'm not exactly certain if Heaven Hill intends to eventually replace the Old Fitz line with Larceny, or if this is simply an additional product offering. Time will tell. For now, let's take a taste of this new wheated bourbon.
John E. Fitzgerald Larceny Bourbon, 46% abv (92 Proof), $24.99/bottle
Color: Medium Amber
Nose: Brown sugar, caramelized banana, honeysuckle, corn, and a healthy dose of ground cinnamon. There is a bit of oaky resin as well.
Palate: Velvety on the tongue and surprisingly well spiced. Brown sugar syrup, vanilla, and notes of sweet corn are livened up big time with a cinnamon and wood spice punch.
Finish: Falls off quickly, but with an even warmth, never too hot, and a hint of honeyed sweetness.
Overall: This is an impressive release from Heaven Hill at this price point. First off – the proof is right on for an easy sipping and inexpensive wheated bourbon. They've left the flavor here without compromising drinkability. Because of the price, the natural comparison is against Maker's Mark, but to me this compares closer in flavor profile with Maker's 46. The healthy doses of cinnamon and wood spice have made for a much more interesting sip than the standard Maker's.
Sour Mash Manifesto Rating: 8.6 (Very Good/Excellent)

Recently, Belinda Lopez started to maintain a list of deployments where Ubuntu/Edubuntu is used in education on the Ubuntu wiki. She reports that the list is already quickly growing.
Are you using Ubuntu in your institution? Have you added it to the list yet?
The Edubuntu Team is proud to announce the beta release of Edubuntu 10.10, codenamed the Maverick Meerkat. Edubuntu 10.10 builds on the Ubuntu tradition of integrating the latest and greatest open source technologies into a high-quality, easy-to-use Linux distribution.
This is a development snapshot of the Edubuntu 10.10 release that is scheduled for the 10th of October 2010, or 10/10/10. The beta is not intended for production or general-purpose use, but is available as a preview of what to expect in the final release.
Software updates include the new Gnome 2.31, a much speedier Evolution 2.30.2, the awesome and fast Shotwell photo manager application, a faster and smoother boot experience and Ubuntu One has received a whole lot of polish. For more information on common improvements Edubuntu shares with Ubuntu, please visit the Ubuntu Maverick Beta release notes.
Edubuntu now includes Gnome Nanny, which is parental control software written for the Gnome Desktop Environment. Since our last development release, we're also including a new and fun Periodic Table Breakout wallpaper, which the author specifically relicensed so that we could use it! The OEM installer mode is also now available in Edubuntu, which has been unavailable in previous releases.
The Beta release is available for download immediately on the Ubuntu CD image server for 32bit and 64bit platforms.
Mark Horner from the Shuttleworth Foundation posted a blog entry about how you can do your part in making free high school science texts available. The books are already available for download and needs a final review before it's first publish.
The books cover Grade 10-12 Mathematics and Science. When the reviewing process is complete, it will be submitted to the Department of Education in South Africa for acceptance and distribution in the country.
This could be a huge milestone for free content in education. In Edubuntu, these texts will also be packaged and available from within the Edubuntu system in a future version.
A reminder of Edubuntu meeting times!
Edubuntu has community meetings every Wednesday at 19:00 UTC. Visit our meeting wiki page if you'd like to add an agenda item, or for more details.
Visit our download section to find out how you can get Edubuntu.

Rear cameras work better than parking sensors at preventing drivers from running over small children or hitting objects while backing up, according to a study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
The insurance trade organization tested the systems recently with a group of
volunteer drivers in an empty parking lot at the StubHub Center in Carson. The test results indicated that cameras by themselves worked better than sensors and cameras combined at preventing drivers from backing into pedestrians and obstacles.
"Right now cameras appear to be the most promising technology for addressing this particularly tragic type of crash, which frequently claims the lives of young children in the driveways of their own homes," says David Zuby, the Institute's executive vice president and chief research officer.
The institute said an estimated 292 people are killed and 18,000 injured each year by drivers who back into them. The collisions typically occur in driveways or parking lots. Children and the elderly are the most frequent victims of such crashes.
The bigger the vehicle, the bigger the risk.
That's because drivers can't easily see people and objects low to the ground behind the rear bumper. Sport-utility vehicles and pickup trucks typically have the biggest blind zones and are involved in more back-over collisions than cars, the institute said.
The organization, which researches automotive safety for the insurance industry, studied the driving habits of 111 volunteers using a 2013 Chevrolet Equinox LTZ. It picked the Equinox because it is a popular midsize SUV that in another study was found to have an averaged-sized blind zone. The drivers were told they were testing the SUV's entertainment and information systems.
At first they were asked to complete parking maneuvers and other tasks such as tuning the radio and reading from a navigation display. They were then asked to back out of a parking spot and drive back to where they parked their personal car. As they backed out, a foam cutout of a child-size crash-test dummy was placed in the SUV's path.
In some cases, the institute put a stationary dummy behind the vehicle, while in other instances it used a radio-controlled platform to slowly slide the dummy into the SUV's path from the driver's side.
Most drivers avoided the moving dummy. The most dangerous situation was when the dummy was stationary.
The proportion of drivers who collided with the stationary object was four times as large as the proportion that collided with the moving object. Drivers with the rearview camera alone had the fewest collisions with the stationary object; 56% of them hit it. In contrast, all the drivers who had no technology hit the stationary object, while parking sensors alone helped just 1 out of 16 drivers avoid a crash.
Automakers are looking at this and other research as they plan new models. Honda, for example, said it will have rearview cameras standard on all Honda and Acura models as of the 2015 model year.
"Rearview cameras are an integral part of Honda's approach to enhance driver visibility," said Art St. Cyr, the car company's vice president of product planning and logistics.

ASHEVILLE NC – Western Carolina University's master's degree program in business administration will hold information sessions for prospective students at WCU's new instructional site in Biltmore Park Town Square in south Asheville during September and October.
Information sessions will be held at the new facility, located at 28 Schenck Parkway, from 6 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 26, in Room 336, and from noon to 1 p.m. Friday, Oct. 26, in Room 337.
Program director Steve Ha and program coordinator Kelly McIntyre will lead the information sessions and discuss the advantages of WCU's "hands-on" MBA, which focuses on the unique challenges facing the region and its economy.
The program accepts both full-time and part-time students, and the degree can be completed in 34 months on a part-time track, or 16 months on a full-time track. Courses are taught at the Biltmore Park Town Square location.
There are no prerequisites aside from two weeks of intensive review sessions. WCU's program is designed to be integrative and interdisciplinary with a goal of creating independent, lifelong learners who are "business ready" to assume leadership positions, Ha said.
Each event will include a presentation and question-and-answer session. Individuals who plan to attend a session are asked to register by emailing [email protected]. Prospective students who want to schedule an individual appointment should send an email to the same address.

UBS Consumption Indicator continues upward trend
The consumption indicator calculated by UBS on a monthly basis rose for the third month running in January, sending out a signal that solid growth in real private consumption in Switzerland is set to continue.
The situation for consumer spending continues to look positive. After going from strength to strength in 2005, reaching 2.1% above the previous year's level in the third quarter, the UBS Consumption Indicator shows that growth sped up slightly for the months up to and including January. The trend barometer, compiled by UBS from five sub-indicators, climbed for the third time in succession in January, coming in at 1.46 points, from 1.33 in December. In order to make the UBS Consumption Indicator easier to understand, the values are now scaled in such a way that the overall time series are as close as possible to the growth rates of real private consumption.
This latest jump was fuelled by the marked rise in the consumer sentiment index in the first quarter, coupled with the enhanced business outlook in the retail sector. The latter is measured using the KOF/ETH business sentiment index for the retail trade; in the months before this data was unavailable and had to be replaced by estimates. There is presently no clear positive trend with regard to new car registrations, while the number of overnight hotel stays by domestic guests in Switzerland was relatively weak. The final factor used to calculate the UBS Consumption Indicator is the monthly volume of credit card transactions via UBS made at domestic points of sale.

Glamour's One-Month Slim-Down Plan
Who says the only way to lose weight is by running miles on the treadmill every day or becoming a Spin class devotee? Sure, cardio is helpful, but along with a healthy diet, you can also shed pounds by hitting the weights—hard. Take it from Jamie Corso, a trainer at David Barton Gym in New York City who also competes in national fitness competitions. She designed four weight-lifting workouts, all under an hour, to help you drop a dress size in four weeks. Complete each of the workouts once a week through the end of the month. Because the first three workouts focus on different muscle groups, you can do them on consecutive days. Make sure to take a rest day after the fourth workout, though. For faster results, add high-intensity interval training on your "off" days.


text: OK campers - we are back to this...Just got my new 2012 Macbook Air 11" i7 256GB SSD/8GB RAM I knew immediately that the LCD was a bit flat (or less contrast) as well as some blacks appeared more blue. After checking, I found that my new 2012 Macbook Air has a LG screen. I compared it to my Mid-2011 Macbook Air i7 (which has a Samsung LCD) and the 2011 had more contrast, etc. Not that the LG screens are bad or anything, it is I am just use to the Samsung screen I have in my 2011 and do not want to go through the calibrations. Personal choice, Just like the Samsung better. You can see what your LCD manufacturer is by doing the following: Launch the Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/) Copy and paste the following command onto a single line and hit return: ioreg -lw0 | grep IODisplayEDID | sed "/[^<]*</s///" | xxd -p -r | strings -6 Read the output, you are looking for an "LP" prefix to numbers reported back: LP133WP1-TJA3 Color LCD If the prefix is not "LP" then you have a Samsung display and there's no need to use the color profile or to follow the rest of the instructions, if it does start with LP (like the example shown), then proceed

I suggested to a friend to get a Mazda 3 hatchback for his University age son. He is looking at 2010 or 2011 model with Automatic Tranny.
What is the advantages/disadvantages for the 2.0 litre vs the 2.5 litre models?
Aside from more power and more gas consumption? Is one version more desirable than the other?
I am thinking along the lines of service, timing belt/chain? , durability?
Any input is appreciated.
