Chief Dull Knife College has an open admissions policy which stipulates that anyone who can benefit from CDKC's educational offerings and services will be admitted as a full or part-time student.
Students are accepted into the college in any of the following classifications:
Freshman Students
Those eligible are students who have completed high school or a GED program and have never attended a college or university.
The following items are required of each applicant:
- A completed Chief Dull Knife College application for admission;
- Official high school transcript or a high school equivalency certificate issued by a state department of public instruction;
- Scores from the CDKC placement test;
- Tribal enrollment certification if an enrolled member of a recognized tribe;
- Evidence of Immunization.
Admission is not complete until all the required documentation has been received in the Admissions/Registrar's Office. The applicant will
then receive a letter of acceptance.
Transfer Students
Those eligible are students who have attempted college credit at another college or university. Students having fewer than 30 semester
hours of college credit will be accepted regardless of academic standing. If the GPA is below Chief Dull Knife College standards, the
student will enter on academic probation. Students dropped from another institution for disciplinary reasons may be admitted at the
discretion of the college administration.
Dual Enrollment
Those eligible are juniors or seniors in high school who wish to enroll to strengthen and enrich their educational program. Eligible students must be at least 16 years of age, and may enroll in any course with the written consent of their high school counselor/principal. Credit for completed coursework will be deferred until the student has graduated from high school or receives a high school equivalency certificate.
Standards for Veteran Students
- Registration - Each veteran student will be counseled about benefits, credit load, withdrawal procedures, remedial and tutorial assistance and then have his enrollment card approved by the Veterans Affairs Office (VAO) during each registration.
- Drop-Add - Each veteran must have the approval of the VAO before dropping or adding classes. Instructors are to note the last date of the veteran's attendance on the drop-add slip. The veteran will be counseled about credit load and applicability of courses to his major field. All changes in enrollment are reported to the Veteran's Administration.
- Prior Credit - All previous military and civilian training will be evaluated for the purpose of granting appropriate credit.
- Standards of Programs - Any veteran or other eligible student receiving educational benefits from the Veteran's Administration is expected to maintain satisfactory progress toward his educational goal, and must meet the following standards:
- Degree and certificate standards require a cumulative 2.0 "C" GPA.
- Educational benefits will be terminated for any veteran or other eligible person whose cumulative GPA remains below a 2.0 for more than two consecutive terms. A student may reapply for educational benefits once his cumulative GPA reaches 2.0.
- All final grades of the veteran or other eligible person will be considered in computing the GPA for the purpose of determining whether the veteran is maintaining satisfactory progress for V.A. payment purposes (V.A. benefits will be withheld for any courses not used in computing the GPA).
- Refund - Refunds for veterans and other eligible persons, as required by V.A. Regulation 14254 (c)(13), are based on the pro-rated balance of the total charges, and are provided whether the veteran withdraws from school or is dismissed.
Veterans' Upward Bound
The MSU-Northern Veterans' Upward Bound is housed on the MSU-Billings Campus. The Veterans' Upward Bound and Chief Dull Knife College share a proud tradition of academic excellence and personal attention to their students. There are two programs available to eligible students:
The Veterans College Transition Program is a ten-week developmental skill program held on the MSU-Billings campus each semester. The course work is non-credit refresher classes in math, writing, reading, speech, science and computers, all of which are offered free of charge to eligible veterans.
The Tribal College Program allows eligible veterans to enroll at their tribal college campus. Veterans' Upward Bound will pay up to $360.00 for tuition only. This often allows the veteran to attend college on a full-time basis. Veterans must complete either the college's or VUB's skill assessment in math, writing and reading, to qualify. Veterans qualifying for this program are eligible to receive assistance in applying for veterans benefits, federal financial aid, career assessment and planning.
- A U.S. Veteran having served at least 181 days of active duty or have been medically discharged.
- Have received a discharge other than dishonorable.
- Meets low-income and/or first generation college student criteria.
Evidence of Immunization
All students seeking admission to Chief Dull Knife College must provide evidence of
- immunization for measles, mumps and rubella; or
- proof of a positive serologic test for measles and rubella; or
- proof that the student has a medical exemption to the immunization requirement; or
- a signed statement of a religious philosophical exemption to the immunization requirement.
Placement Testing
Student Services will test (using the Adult Basic Education TABE test):
- All new students who have not attended another college.
- Students that have not attended another institution of higher education for two years and did not complete Math, English and Science courses.
- Transfer students with English, Math or Science course(s) of "D" or lower or who have not completed math these courses must take the test and show proof of transcript. The transcript will remain on file in the Registrar's office.
- Former students returning after an absence of 6 years or more are required to take a placement test before enrolling unless they have a previous Associate Degree or higher.
Students are assigned an advisor by the Student Services Coordinator depending upon the major they chose.
Although advisors are here to help, it is important for students to realize that the ultimate responsibility for meeting all graduation requirements are their own. Students can increase their academic planning effectiveness by fully utilizing the advising system, and by acquainting themselves with the academic requirements of their major fields, college policies for registration and graduation, and scholastic requirements. The CDKC catalog is the official source of information on these matters and is available upon request from the Registrar's Office.
Requests for transcripts should be directed to the Registrars office. Official transcripts may not be released if a student has financial obligations to the College. After the first free transcript, there will be a $2.00 charge for each additional copy.
Request for Waiver of Course Substitution
Students who request a waiver or a course substitution may do so with the consent of the advisor, Dean of Academic Affairs and the Registrar.

Stevens' "Big John" is History
Big John being DismantledA durable landmark signifying a moment in Stevens, Hoboken and civil engineering history has disappeared from the famous waterfront that was once characterized by international cargo ships, drydocks and Marlon Brando's hair-raising scenes from Elia Kazan's 1954 classic film about mob corruption in the longshoremen's unions.
Stevens Institute of Technology's green vertical water-pressure testing lab, known affectionately as "Big John," has been removed to make way for the completion of a section of the long-planned continuous waterfront promenade that is a signal landmark of a gentler and more gentrified Hoboken shoreline.
To commemorate the demise of the tower, we include below a complete reprint of journalist Michael Mullins' superb historical account of the structure, as featured in a 2007 edition of the Hoboken Reporter. – Patrick A. Berzinski, executive director, University Communications
2,000 flushes: Toilets tested in green 'Big John' building on waterfront
By Michael D. Mullins
"Big John," or "The Royal Flush," as it is commonly called, is an 11-story green building on the Hoboken waterfront. It was built 34 years ago with an important duty: To measure the amount of atmospheric pressure required to flush a toilet in a high-rise apartment building.
The structure was erected by the private company American Standard Inc. in 1972 as part of a project sponsored by the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
HUD was looking for a way to conserve water and decrease plumbing costs. Every household drainage system has two pipes: one removes waste while the other extends to the building's rooftop and uses the atmosphere to apply pressure. HUD hoped to provide additional atmospheric pressure while reducing the size of the pipe connected to the roof.
After learning of HUD's request in the early 1970s, Thomas Konen, an alumnus of the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, informed the school and wrote a proposal for the project with Dr. Daniel Savitsky, professor emeritus of ocean engineering.
"Big John" was erected on waterfront property owned by Stevens.
"[HUD] wanted to limit it to a university rather than contract it out to some company," said Savitsky, who accredits much of the planning and success of the "Big John" project to Konen, who has since passed away.
Forty-four toilets
Over the five-year operation, the 44 fully functional toilets [four on each floor] were flushed in cycles by a computer system in order to determine the effect that the different combinations would have on the centralized drainage system.
"We would sometimes flush them all at once," recalls Savitsky. "We called it the 'Royal Flush.' "
Little plastic balls were used to stimulate human waste. They would collect with the water in a basin at the bottom of the structure.
After removing the pellets, the water would be sucked up to a tank atop the building before being used in another flush.
The project was a success, resulting in the implementation of a "booster" device like the type used on airplanes that creates the "woosh" sound, according to Savitsky.
The experiment was able to reduce the size of the piping while decreasing the amount of water used in a flush by up to 90 percent.
"It made a direct contribution to plumbing systems being simplified and reducing their size," said Savitsky.
Due to government cutbacks, HUD was forced to discontinue its research at Stevens in the late 1980s.
As a result of the inactivity, Stevens stopped paying the insurance on the building's elevator and began using the facility for storage purposes only.
Big John's rebirth
After laying dormant for a number of years, Physics Professor Dr. Rainer Martini began using the Building Technology Research center, as it is officially known, in 2000 to conduct experiments in communications using a new form of infrared laser.
Two modified telescopes were situated on top of the Big John building and another building on campus, the Burchard Building, at a distance of 125 meters apart. The research lasted for about three years.
However, the recent construction of the six-story Babbio Center for Technology blocked the free space required by the lasers. Martini currently conducts similar experiments from between the Burchard Building and the Stevens Library.
Weather experiments
Big John is Gone!Another professor who found a use for "Big John" was Dr. Alan Blumberg of the Department of Civil, Environmental and Ocean Engineering at Stevens. Blumberg, along with his colleague Dr. Michael Bruno, director of the Center for Maritime Systems, began conducting experiments with river currents and weather in the late 1990s.
For the last three years, the professors have been developing special sensors and using them to measure the precise amounts of salt and fresh water, the speed of the current, the water level, wave heights, and the wind speed, and wind direction along the Hudson River off the Hoboken waterfront.
Sensors are attached to buoys in the river about 100 to 150 feet off the shore. They relay data back to an antenna atop the Big John building via a radio wave.
The information is posted online, allowing fishermen, sailors and emergency management personnel to watch for areas of large currents and waves.
"We're so lucky to be here right where the fresh water and the salt water converge off of Castle Point," said Blumberg, who also has instruments off of the Intrepid, Sandy Hook, The Statue of Liberty, and the South Street Seaport.
The program is being sponsored by the New Jersey Department of Transportation, The Office of Naval Research, Department of Homeland Security, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the National Weather Service.
The information gathered by the sensors can be viewed online at www.stevens.edu/maritimeforecast.

Prom 20 – Wallace and Gromit: Musical Marvels
Helen Wallace is wowed by one man, his dog… and an orchestra
One raised eyebrow, and he's got an audience of 6000 in the palm of his paw. Move over Scooby Doo, Gromit has replaced you as the world's favourite dog. And he can play the violin...
This being the Wallace and Gromit Prom (hottest ticket of the season as those who bore 19 hours in the on-line waiting room can attest), we were treated to bespoke new footage of the lovable duo. A running gag followed the gradual destruction of a piano before it reached the stage for its concerto 'in Ee, lad' and Gromit furiously scribbling the music for a last-minute double violin concerto, sent up a characteristically elaborate tubing system before it popped up on the conductor's podium.
Harnessing the genius of Nick Park and his team of animators, this event by the Aurora Orchestra could hardly fail, and in some ways it was more film celebration than concert: specially-edited sequences from their feature films were played with some well-chosen repertoire: Debussy's Claire de lune (love scenes, subtly done), scary villains (Stravinsky's Infernal Dance from The Firebird) and breathless chases (Shostakovich's frenzied march and fugue from the first movement of Symphony No. 4, performed at impressive speed, something that escaped my daughter, who was too busy watching the film…)
This was not the case throughout: a fine delivery of Copland's Fanfare for the Common Man drew rapt attention, as did John Adams's Short Ride in a Fast Machine (was it this performance, or does Adams's tendency to the elegiac drag this supposedly fast ride down to earth?) The slow opening to the Overture to The Magic Flute was cleverly interrupted by Wallace crashing about in search of a light switch, while Gromit's double violin concerto was sweetly dispatched by Little (and, off-stage, Gromit himself).
Most successful was Iain Farrington's deft, jazzy and very 21st-century young person's guide to the orchestra, Wing It. Needing only the briefest of cues from Collon, the piece springs into life with a walking bass and spotlights each instrument and section with flair, mixing 'I've got rhythm' with the Wallace and Grommit theme tune. It was presented as a spur-of-the-moment improvisation – and genuinely sounded like it.
Refreshing too was the admirably understated commentary of Nicholas Collon. Neither matily patronising nor creepily saccharine, he was simply himself, hitting the right note for an audience equally split between adults and children.
It was in the second half that we lost a balance between film and music. Nott's score for the bakery comedy A Matter of Loaf and Death is a hugely entertaining, consummate parody of film music: I'm just not sure why we needed to sit in the Royal Albert Hall to see it on a big screen with live orchestra? With dialogue to be followed and the lights down, my children rapidly forgot there were musicians playing on stage at all….
Knowing the eye-watering number of hours it must have taken to make the films of Gromit composing or Wallace revving up his souped-up piano, the re-use of existing film was probably the only solution. It just felt like a bit of a cop out. (No word of protest from the kids, though – obviously).

I was recently invited to write a guest blog posting, for a travel blogger, about my favourite place that I had visited. That is easy and difficult. Easy because it is somewhere in Scandinavia, and those who know me, mumble an audible, "of course," but I do find it hard to pick just one Scandinavian country. Each region of Scandinavia has its own beauty, personality and appeal. In today's case, Sweden won out. Tomorrow I am sure it will be Denmark, and the next: Norway……
Sweden, or 'Sverige' (pronounced svair-ri-ah to my ear), is one of my all-time favourite places to visit because it is full of Scandinavian vitality, culture and unique sights. Don't let the threat of a harsh winter put you off a vacation in Sweden in the off-peak times, for the jet stream ensures that the winter in Scandinavia is no worse, and even sometimes better, than the American or Canadian version.
I enjoyed "fika" ( Swedish coffee and cake ) in a traditional Swedish cafe
In southern Sweden, you'll find the fast paced, modernity of most large, cosmopolitan cities, in places like Stockholm and Malmø, but one that is peppered with 'old world' charm. The central areas of the country is where you'll find rural Sweden and the philosophy of 'Ikea' at its best, with the rolling green hills dotted with 'Falun' red cottages, barns, medieval farms and quaint churches, some with amazing, intricately-painted ceilings.
You'll also see age-old Swedish traditions alive and kicking, from one end of the country to the other: from painted horses in Dalarna to wild summertime 'surstromming, ' or crayfish parties, held on the west coast where a tourist- driven, relaxed lifestyle predominates. A local beach on the Bohuslan coast might be a lump of bare sun-soaked rock, striking, attractive, yet extremely popular in both summer and winter.
And don't forget the far north, where a Swedish winter adventure might include viewing the northern lights, going dog sledding, snowmobiling and experiencing a mix of arctic and Sami culture that transforms a cold, dark winter into a snow white wonderland one might associate more with Santa Claus and his elves.
You might ask: 'What made this place so memorable?'
The Swedish people themselves have a proud and varied history, are gregarious, hard working and cannot go for more than a few hours without 'fika': coffee and cake. Just my kind of people! You will find cafes and bakery everywhere serving fika, and this experience coupled with a kanelbolle, or cinnamon bun, made my Swedish experience memorable.
So what are the top ten sights/activities for this destination?
1. Vasa Museum –Stockholm: See the ill- fated, triple- decked galleon that sank on its maiden voyage in the Stockholm harbour, replete with cannons, crew and gold encrusted decorations. Nearby is the Nordic museum.
2. Skansen/Liseberg – Stockholm: an open air museum with vintage Swedish houses, barns, dancing demonstrations and delicious traditional food. Stockholm's Zoo is also located there, so if you yearn to see a moose, reindeer, or a bear, you can do that when you visit Skansen. Then, burn off the extra calories on the rides at neighbouring Liseberg, Stockholm's oldest amusement park.
3. Gamla Stan – Stockholm's Old Town: a mecca for foodies. Commencing at the Royal palace, the "Old Town" consists of narrow alleyways, cute cafes, oh- so photogenic painted terrace houses, and shops full of traditional souvenirs. Money exchanges/plenty of ATM's are conveniently located here to help you on your mission!
- Radhuset– Stockholm's Town Hall: like a 'mentos sweet': plain and dull on the outside, magnificent on the inside. The Town hall, built in the 30's, is not only the venue for the Nobel Prize ceremonies, but also has a council chamber with a roof, that was inspired by an upturned and decorated hull of a Viking longboat, and a third reception room that is equivalent to an ancient Egyptian Pharoah's temple. Surprising and a definite 'must-see'.
- Stockholm archipaelego – A leisurely boat trip past idyllic islands, the occasional fortress and stunningly beautiful nature. A photographer's dream on a good day. Departs from Stockholm or Stromstad. Alternatively, if you are not a water baby: the sites mentioned in the Stieg Larsson's 'Millenium' trilogy are a great way to see more of Stockholm. There is an easy D.I.Y. walking tour of Stockholm. Maps available at the tourist office.
- Malmø – Skane, Southern Sweden: see the impressive "Turning torso" building, a feat of modern engineering; and Malmohus, a renaissance castle; as well as historic buildings in the Malmø Town Square including the Town Hall from 1547, Hotel Kramer and the old pharmacy: Apoteket. If you still have breath or run out of things to do, take a 30 minute train ride and you are in Copenhagen, Denmark.
- Ystad –Skane, Southern Sweden: trace Detective Kurt Wallander's footsteps ( from Henning Mankell's famous novels and TV series) There's loads of half- timbered cottages with thatch roofs too.
- Stromstad –Bohuslan, a beach side town on the west coast – see the Town Hall with its quirky history, take in drop- dead gorgeous views out to the archipelago, and try the must-have Buffet lunch at Lalaholmen hotel. You SOO don't want to miss the dessert. But you may want to skip the 'surstromming', (a fermented very smelly fish),and just party in the lively atmosphere and long hours of daylight hours in summer, or use Stromstad as a launch pad, for a high speed boat trip to spend a day in Norway.
- Lappland: Skellefteaa – track and hunt wild reindeer in their native habitat, go sledding, skiing or snowmobiling, or see Sweden's oldest wooden bridge, and an utterly impressive Domkirke Cathedral, ( a place of pilgrimage for centuries) and the pilgrim's traditional cottages nearby.
Catch a glimpse of the mysterious Northern lights, or ski from February to June at Riksgransen, where, if you are lucky you may see the testing of pre-production European model cars that occurs in spring on the, still frozen, Arctic lakes.
If I could go again I would…
Spend more time relaxing on the Bohuslan coast, on a long summer night, visit Gotland to see the Viking relics and feast on Swedish delicacies such as: reindeer, cloudberries, salmon, 'vasterbotten' cheese and 'filmjolk.'
Is a Swedish holiday for you? Something for you to ponder about?

|248th layer of the Abyss (the Hidden Layer)
|Chaotic Evil
First Appearance:
|This article is based on material by:
Eltab is a demon lord known as the "Lord of the Hidden Layer." He is particularly active in the game's Forgotten Realms campaign setting.
Eltab appears as a fifteen-foot-tall humanoid with the head of a canine-like creature. His head sports numerous antlers and horns and his body is covered with bony dark red plates. He has silted yellow glowing eyes.
Eltab rules the 248th layer of the Abyss known as the Hidden Layer. It is a vast wasteland of boulders and fissures constantly beset with intensive electrical storms, making it inimical to most life except for demons and deadly plant life such as viper trees, ironmaws, and bloodthorns. In the past thousand years or so, because of Eltab's absence, the Hidden Layer has been fragmented in ever-changing fiefdoms as Eltab's former lieutenants, including the balor Ndulu, fight over the vacated realm.
Thanks to the bindings cast by the Narfelli demon-binders on Eltab when they summoned him, they also somehow linked fragments of the Hidden Layer into Faerûn, as well. So pieces of the layer, known as demoncysts, are lying scattered beneath the ground all over northeast Faerûn.
Demoncysts are typically a hundred feet or more in diameter. The environment of the cyst does not interact with the surrounding terrestrial environment (and vice versa), thus each cyst resembles a cave that contains a wholly different environment than the surrounding earth or open space. Some cysts are empty, but others contain fiends and/or servants of Eltab. The largest cyst, known as the Hall of the Hidden Throne, lies in Eltab's current location, the Citadel of Conjurers. This cyst contains Eltab's palace and the calling circle that tied Eltab to the Realms. In fact, until this circle is destroyed, Eltab cannot leave Faerûn or return to the Abyss.
The demon lord Eltab was a potent force in the Abyss, rivaling the powers of Graz'zt, Orcus and even Demogorgon himself. However, during the ancient days of Faerûn, the empires of Narfell and Raumathar engaged in a bitter war, which ultimately destroyed both empires. During this war, Eltab was summoned to Faerûn by the so-called demon-binders of Narfell, so he could be used as a pawn against their hated enemy. Eltab lead a demonic horde on the behalf of Narfell and invaded Raumathan, a city of Rashemen, which he quickly conquered and set up himself up as its ruler.
Eltab's rule was brief, as an alliance of spell-casters (including the Witches of Rashemen) overthrew Eltab. Eltab was forced to flee, but the Rashemi witches caught up with him in the Sharawood, imprisoning him beneath the ground, and bound a dracolich called the Everlasting Wyrm to guard over him.
A hundred or so years later, followers of the dark god Myrkul, intending to plunder the hoard of the Everlasting Wyrm, discovered the imprisoned demon lord. They agreed to release Eltab under the condition that he serve Myrkul's church for ninety-nine years. With Eltab's aid, the followers of Myrkul took control of the city of Shandaular and in its place, established the theocratic city of Eltabranar.
Later, Eltab prompted an ill-fated invasion of the nations of Unther and Mulhorand. Eltab was once again imprisoned, this time by the god-kings who led Mulhorand, into a demoncyst (see Realm Below) beneath Thaymount.
The infamous Red Wizards found Eltab more than seven hundred years later. The wizards used an ancient Narfelli demon-binding ritual and called Eltab forth to assist them in their war with the Mulhorandi god-kings. The god-kings' armies were routed and the nation of Thay was established. When the Red Wizards found they couldn't dismiss Eltab, they imprisoned him near the mouth of the river that now is named after the demon lord and built a capitol city named Eltabbar over the prison.
More recently, the Thayan lich Szass Tam realized that Eltab would soon break out of his prison. He deliberately released Eltab with the intention of using a spell to permanently enslave Eltab. But his plan was foiled by a group of adventurers, allowing Eltab to escape into a demoncyst below Thaymount. During a retaliatory confrontation with Szass Tam, Eltab was seemingly destroyed, but thanks to the binding cast on him by the ancient Narfelli demon-binders, he was magically transported to the Citadel of Conjurers in the nation of Impiltur, where he is currently plotting new plans for conquests and revenge.

As celebrity chefs have risen to stardom, we've seen them
endorse everything from cookware to stand mixers, the theory being that if you
splurge on their gadgets, you too may be able to cook like Rachael, Paula, or
Mario. But a new addition to the market, the Michel Bras Grater Set with 3
Blades by Kai ($120 at Williams-Sonoma), left us wondering...does a 3-star
Michelin chef really grate cheese better than the rest of us?
To find out, we pitted the set (which includes fine, medium,
and coarse blades) against our longtime favorite graters from Microplane. We
chose models that promised to perform similar tasks, ranging from finely
grating hard Parmesan cheese to shredding carrots.
In each case the graters performed similarly, though we
distinctly favored the Microplane for shredding carrots and soft cheeses. In
each case it produced beautiful ribbons whereas the Michel Bras left us with
tiny strands.
The Michel Bras was beautiful and comfy to hold, but like most
graters, it was tricky to wash by hand and it couldn't be cleaned in the
dishwasher. The Microplanes are all dishwasher safe. Plus, a set of 4 Artisan
Series graters sells for under $36. The $84 you save will buy you a whole lotta
Ready to get grating? Check out the Daily Green's story on artisan cheeses.

"No expert is perfect."
"Here's something to chew on, and I know it will cause some controversy among our readers. Scientists from the US and Europe have announced that genetic material that originated from outer space might prove that "we" originated from some other life form.
This material was found in a meteorite in Australia. Scientists, they say, have actually proven that two bits of coding, called nucleobases, are extraterrestrial."
"I predict we can truly say "goodbye" to the common cold in 2009 or 2010. The solution to the common cold involves heat. Keep in mind that the body's first response when we develop a cold is to come down with a fever. Many doctors today no longer rush to push patients to take temperature reducing medications when they come down with a fever, unless the fever is dangerous. They feel the immune system is the patient's best medicine and should be given a chance to fight back. So as the immune system fights a cold with heat, the cure for the common cold certainly may lie in this first signal to heal."

"...in the 115 available cases Browne was correct zero times and wrong twenty-five times. Ninety out of the 115 cases have unknown outcomes. A previous examination of thirty-five cases Browne made predictions about was published in Brill's Content. The magazine concluded: "In twenty-one, the details were too vague to be verified. Of the remaining fourteen, law-enforcement officials or family members involved in the investigations say that Browne had played no useful role.""
"We love competition. Absolutely love it. We have from the earliest days. It motivates us. It makes us hungry. It makes us stronger and it makes us very, very determined. We are on a tear to be the undisputed winner in China and the additional $100 million investment we announced last month should be a sign of an unmistakable commitment and an unstoppable determination to win that market."
"By contrast, eBay China was especially vulnerable to negative fallout from Chinese
counterfeiting. Given eBay's global platform, any counterfeit seller in China could list goods on
a system that would be displayed on eBay websites around the world. Consequently, the sale of
counterfeits globally on eBay exploded after the company's expansion into China in 2004.
fact raised a serious dilemma for eBay corporate. The worldwide organization could be subject
to legal actions in the U.S. and Europe because of the availability of these counterfeits in such
regions. Yet if eBay became strict regarding counterfeits, it would lose a significant portion of the Chinese market. Taobao, as a purely Chinese operation, faced no such bind."
Unlike today's Westerners, the Chinese in the imperial past did not consider copying or imitation
a moral offense. Rather, they considered it a 'noble art', a 'time-honored learning process'
through which people manifested respect for their ancestors... Confucius proudly acknowledged in the Analects that he had "transmitted what was taught

"Further to your coverage of climate change and melting ice in the Himalayas (19 March, p 6), it should be pointed out that glaciers in many other parts of the world are not shrinking but in fact are growing.
Norway's glaciers are growing at a record pace. All 48 glaciers in New Zealand's Southern Alps are growing, the Franz Josef by about 4 metres a day. Pio XI, the largest glacier in the southern hemisphere, and the Perito Moreno Glacier, the largest in Patagonia, are also growing despite the fact that they should be melting because of warm winds zephyr'd from El Niño seas.
Glaciers are real cool in California, where all seven on Mount Shasta are growing apace and three have doubled in size since 1950. Further north, in Washington state, America's youngest glacier in the crater of Mount St Helens holds a record for fastest-growing lump of ..."
"I do agree with the blog post... that one must be careful that the expert actually have relevant expertise bearing upon the proposition at hand. It also helps to determine, even if the expert has the needed expertise, whether the position stated by that expert comes from first hand evidence or is itself hearsay. Being hearsay diminishes (but need not always demolish) the usefulness of the expert's opinion."
"The toxins tend to become stronger and released when there's something that stresses the algae, [such as] a change in salinity of the water, a change in temperature," said Castle. "There could have been an impact or volcanic eruption, and that may have stressed the algae, [and] by changing the conditions, they released toxins that kill the organisms."
"In all cases, the microbial sediments post-date the extinction, so it seems unlikely that they were the actual cause,"
"Because cyanobacteria have been around for most of the history of life on Earth, it's virtually certain that there were times in the past when there were local die-offs due to cyanobacterial toxins... But to demonstrate that it was a global event, or something significant enough, I'm not sure that that's likely."
"Who knows what the causes were, or might be, for a species' extinction?... It is all, and is absolutely, and without equivocation, speculation to decide how something or someone died."
"In the course of my life I have very often been a prophet, and have usually been ridiculed for it. During the time of my struggle for power it was in the first instance only the Jewish race that received my prophecies with laughter when I said that I would one day take over the leadership of the State, and with it that of the whole nation, and that I would then among other things settle the Jewish problem. Their laughter was uproarious, but I think that for some time now they have been laughing on the other side of their face. Today I will once more be a prophet: if the international Jewish financiers in and outside Europe should succeed in plunging the nations once more into a world war, then the result will not be the Bolshevizing of the earth, and thus the victory of Jewry, but the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe!"
Bob: I don't think the US should go in!
Sera: You are wrong. After UNSCOM left Iraq in 1998 the Iraqi weapons program continued to sophisticate at an alarming rate. Many Iraqi defectors have pledged this fact. They are producing weapons of mass destruction and we must stop them. Listen to Colin Powell, on February 5, 2003 he said "We know that Saddam Hussein is determined to keep his weapons of mass destruction, is determined to make more." Dick Cheny, Tony Blair, and many other very knowledgeable people have all agreed that Iraq has WMDs!
Bob: You make a good point. But do you understand that the defectors, Powell, Cheny, and Blair could all be making mistakes?
Sera: That's impossible!
Bob: They are not perfect, are they?
Sera: I'm not sure I can believe in miracles without strong evidence!
There is strong evidence. There are myriads of great miracle workers like Padre Pio and the Curé d'Ars
. They have been studied so exhaustively that they are strong reasons to believe. Especially Nobel Prize winning author Sigrid Undset converted to Catholicism because of her extensive studies on Medieval mystics.
Sera: Sigrid Undset converted to Catholicism after the outbreak of World War 1 and a divorce. Perhaps she was emotionally unstable at the time which upset her rationality. Furthermore, her credibility from the Nobel Prize was in Literature, "principally for her powerful descriptions of Northern life during the Middle Ages" Which is not very relevant to the question of whether miracles exist.
Sera: What is the most convincing miracle to you?
Bob: The apparition of Mary that appeared in Cairo in the 1960's. It occured in a church called Zeitoun and for at least a year a million people witnessed it including international media and the president Nasser of Egypt! How can you explain the president himself vouching for its truth?
Sera: Isn't it possible the apparition was an elaborate hoax set up by the church to encourage more visitors?
Bob: How so?
Sera: As nobody was allowed on the rooftop, there could have been costumes and lights to illuminate the actress portraying Mary. Much in the same way as a magician's show in Vegas fools millions of viewers, isn't is possible Nasser of Egypt could have himself been fooled?
Bob: I need a new movie to watch. What is the best movie?
Sera: That's easy, IMBD.com has a list of the 250 most popular films of all time. They also show you which movies have won the most Academy Awards.
Bob: But popularity among the IMBD audience does not equate to quality in my eyes. And some would argue the Academy Awards are biased as they never choose comedies for best film, and I love comedies!
Sera: In that case I think you should rent Norbit! It really fits your personality.

Game 160: A magical year indeed
Jim Thome has been in Jose Bautista's shoes. Not literally, though, since I'm pretty sure Big Jim wouldn't be able to squeeze into those particular cleats.
I'm talking about joining the 50 Home Run Club.
Back in 2002, Thome launched 52 home runs for the Cleveland Indians. Now, the veteran slugger is a designated hitter for the Twins with 589 career blasts on his resume.
On Thursday night, Thome got a close-up look at the spectacle that has been Bautista's season this year. Bautista become just the second person to send a pitch to the third deck at Target Field as part of a two-homer outburst that gave him a big league-high 54 for the Blue Jays.
"He's had a wonderful year," Thome said. "I think when you have a year like that, a lot of things go right. We call that as a hitter, a magical year. When you get pitches to hit, you hit them out front and get lift on him. It's an awesome thing to watch — not against us — but just to see how his year has played out, just the whole story. He's had a great year."
What does it take to hit 50 home runs?
"You have to be healthy and you have to catch breaks," Thome said, "where some years you hit a ball out front and it might be a double, and certain years you hit a ball out front and you get lift on it. And, you get in that groove where a lot of balls that you do hit out in front of the plate, you do get lift on them and they go out of the park.
"There are some years where you'll go, 'Maybe I just didn't square a ball up as good and not like another year.' I think that's the thing. You hope every player goes through that year where you go, 'Man this worked out great.' Maybe that's his year this year."
Some more Bautista facts:
–His 9 multi-homer games matches franchise record (George Bell, '87) for one year
–That's the most since Boston's David Ortiz had 9 multi-homer games in 2005
–He has five five-RBI games this year, setting a franchise record
–One walk away from being 14th member of 50 HR/100 BB club
–One walk from being 7th with 50 HR/100 BB/30 2B in one season
–Aiming to be 1st player since '97 (Ken Griffey Jr.) to lead MLB in HRs in 4 months.

After having a discussion with my friend the other day about all the home runs the Jays are hitting this year, I remembered the Marlins year a couple years ago when all of their infield starters each hit 20 hrs, which was a first in MLB. I know the Jays have had some personnel changes but do you know if they could be the first team to have minimum 20 hrs per position regardless of who started? It would be a cool achievement for the Jays if they were the first.

Sister Loretta Marie Schultz, a teacher for five decades, died of a heart attack Sunday at her order's Maria Health Care Center in Baltimore. She was 90.
Born Loretta Marie Schultz in Camden, N.J., she entered the School Sisters of Notre Dame in Baltimore in August 1941. She was given the religious name Mary Serapia and later used her baptismal name. She earned a bachelor's degree at what is now Notre Dame of Maryland university and a master's degree at the Catholic University of America.
She began teaching at Sacred Heart of Jesus School in Highlandtown. She later taught at St. Matthew School in Northwood, Corpus Christi in Bolton Hill, St. Pius X in Rodgers Forge, St. Mary in Annapolis, St. Margaret in Bel Air and at Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Camden, N.J. She also taught hearing-impaired children at the John Archer School in Harford County.
In 1977 she joined the faculty of St. John School in Westminster, where she taught religion, English and remedial reading. Later appointments included Archbishop Keough High School in Southwest Baltimore and St. Elizabeth High School in Wilmington, Del., where she was on the staff for 16 years.
She retired from the classroom in 1997 and became a volunteer tutor at the Caroline Center, the job training and education center for economically disadvantaged women sponsored by her religious order.
After retiring a second time, she became a volunteer GED tutor for employees at the retirement home where she lived.
A Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Thursday in the Villa Assumpta chapel, 6404 N. Charles St.
Survivors include a brother, Leonard M. Schultz of Hattiesburg, Miss., and nieces and nephews.
An earlier version misstated the location of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. The Sun regrets the error.

Baseball America's John Manuel:
On the current roster, Smoak has emerged as the team's star, with nine home runs to set a USA Baseball record. The switch-hitter out of South Carolina was a high school teammate of Orioles rookie catcher Matt Wieters and is on track to fulfill the athlete development model that USA Baseball dreams of. He played for the college national team in 2007, is on the team now as a minor leaguer and seems destined to suit up in a WBC down the line.
Cuba's five-tool center fielder, 23-year-old Alfredo Despaigne, has matched Smoak home run-wise. He's part of the surprising reality: Contrary to its reputation, Cuba has plenty of hitting talent but not enough pitching.
Stats: .375/-/.681 with 61 BB/45 K and 32 HRs in 328 ABs in Cubas's 48th National Baseball Series. Here's his picture.

(3) In determining the site or location of facilities, a recipient or applicant may not make selections with the purpose or effect of excluding individuals from, denying them the benefits of, or subjecting them to discrimination under any program to which this regulation applies, on the ground of race, color or national origin; or with the purpose or effect of defeating or substantially impairing the accomplishment of the objectives of the Act or this regulation.
(4) As used in this section the services, financial aid, or other benefit provided under a program receiving Federal financial assistance shall be deemed to include any service, financial aid, or other benefit provided in or through a facility provided with the aid of Federal financial assistance.
(5) The enumeration of specific forms of prohibited discrimination in this paragraph does not limit the generality of the prohibition in paragraph (a).
(6)(i) In administering a program regarding which the recipient has previously discriminated against persons on the ground of race, color, or national origin, the recipient must take affirmative action to overcome the effects of prior discrimination.
(ii) Even in the absence of such prior discrimination, a recipient in administering a program shall take affirmative action to overcome the effects of conditions which resulted in limiting participation by persons of a particular race, color or national origin.
(7) The following will illustrate the application of the provisions of the foregoing paragraph to programs for which Federal financial assistance is furnished by this Department:
(i) In some situations even though past discriminatory practices have been abandoned, the consequences of such practices continue to impede the full availability of a benefit. If the efforts required of the applicant or recipient under § 31.5(d) to provide information as to the availability of the program or activity, and the rights of beneficiaries under this regulation,
(ii) Even though an applicant or recipient has never used discriminatory policies, the services and benefits of the program or activity it administers may not in fact be equally available to some racial or nationality groups. In some circumstances an applicant or recipient may properly give special consideration to race, color, or national origin to make the benefits of its program more widely available to such groups not then being adequately served. For example, where an employment service office is not adequately serving members of a particular racial or nationality group, it may establish special recruitment policies to make its program better known and more readily available to such group, and take other steps to provide that group with more adequate service.
(2) Where a primary objective of the Federal financial assistance is not to provide employment, but discrimination on the ground of race, color, or national origin in the employment practices of the recipient or other persons subject to the regulation tends, on the ground of race, color or national origin, to exclude individuals from participation in, to deny them the benefits of, or to subject them to discrimination under any program to which this regulation applies, the provision of the foregoing paragraph shall apply to the employment practices of the recipient to the extent necessary to assure equality of opportunity to, and nondiscriminatory treatment of, beneficiaries. Accordingly, the employment practices of recipients under programs enumerated in §§ 31.3(d)(2) and 31.3(d)(3) are subject to the provisions of this paragraph (c) to the extent necessary to assure equality of opportunity to, and nondiscriminatory treatment of, the beneficiaries of the Federal financial assistance. Any action taken by the Department pursuant to this provision with respect to a State or local agency subject to the Standards for a Merit System of Personnel Administration, 45 CFR part 70, shall be consistent with those standards and shall be coordinated with the United States Civil Service Commission.
(3) The requirements applicable to construction employment under any program for which Federal financial assistance is furnished by this Department shall be those specified in or pursuant to part III of Executive Order 11246 or any Executive order which supersedes it.
(d) In order that all parties may have a clear understanding of the applicability of the regulations in this part to their activities, there are listed in this section types of Federal financial assistance together with illustrations by way of example only, of types of activity covered by the regulations in this part. These illustrations and examples, however, are not intended to be all inclusive. The fact that a particular type of Federal financial assistance is not listed does not, of course, indicate that it is not covered by the regulations in this part. Moreover, the examples set forth with respect to any particular listed type of Federal financial assistance are not limited to assistance alone and the prohibited actions described may also be prohibited in programs or activities receiving other types of Federal financial assistance whether or not listed below.
(ii) No selection or referral of any individual for employment or training shall be made on the basis of any job order or request containing discriminatory specifications with regard to race, color, or national origin.
(ii) The recruitment, examination, appointment, training, promotion, retention, or any other personnel action with respect to any trainee or enrollee under the Manpower Development and Training Act, Area Redevelopment Act, or the Economic Opportunity Act while the individual is receiving training or employment shall be without regard to race, color or national origin.
(2) In the case where Federal assistance is provided in the form of a transfer of real property, structures, or improvements thereon, or interest therein, from the Federal Government, the instrument effecting or recording the transfer shall contain a covenant running with the land assuring nondiscrimination for the period during which the real property is used for a purpose for which the Federal financial assistance is extended or for another purpose involving the provision of similar services or benefits. Where no transfer of property or interest therein from the Federal Government is involved, but property is acquired with Federal financial assistance, the recipient shall agree to include such covenant in any subsequent transfer of such property. When the property is obtained from the Federal Government, such covenant may also include a condition coupled with a right to be reserved by the Department to revert title to the property in the event of a breach of the covenant where, in the discretion of the Secretary, such a condition and right of reverter is appropriate to the statute under which the real property is obtained and to the nature of the grant and the grantee. In such event if a transferee of real property proposes to mortgage or otherwise encumber the real property as security for financing construction of new, or improvement of existing facilities on such property for the purpose for which the property was transferred, the Secretary may agree, upon request of the transferee and if necessary to accomplish such financing and upon such conditions as he deems appropriate, to subordinate such rights of reversion to the sum of such mortgage or other encumbrance.
(1) Contain or be accompanied by a statement that the program is (or, in the case of a new program, will be) conducted in compliance with all requirements imposed by or pursuant to this part, and
(2) Provide or be accompanied by provision for such methods of administration for the program as are found by the Secretary to give reasonable guarantee that the applicant and all recipients of Federal financial assistance under such program will comply with all requirements imposed by or pursuant to this part.
(2) If an investigation does not warrant action pursuant to paragraph (d)(1) the Secretary will so inform the recipient and the complainant, if any, in writing.
(1) A reference to the Department of Justice with a recommendation that appropriate proceedings be brought to enforce any rights of the United States under any law of the United States (including other titles of the Act), or any assurance or other contractual undertaking, and
(2) Any applicable proceeding under State or local law.
(1) The Secretary has advised the applicant or recipient of his failure to comply and has determined that compliance cannot be secured by voluntary means,
(2) There has been an express finding on the record, after opportunity for hearing, of a failure by the applicant or recipient to comply with a requirement imposed by or pursuant to this part,
(3) The action has been approved by the Secretary, and
(4) The expiration of 30 days after the Secretary has filed with the committee of the House and the committee of the Senate having legislative jurisdiction over the program involved, a full written report of the circumstances and the grounds for such action. Any action to suspend or terminate or to refuse to grant or to continue Federal financial assistance shall be limited to the particular political entity, or part thereof, or other applicant or recipient as to whom such a finding has been made and shall be limited in its effect to the particular program, or part thereof, in which such noncompliance has been so found.
(1) The Secretary has determined that compliance cannot be secured by voluntary means,
(2) The action has been approved by the Secretary,
(3) The recipient or other person has been notified of its failure to comply and of the action to be taken to effect compliance, and
(4) The expiration of at least 10 days from the mailing of such notice to the recipient or other person. During this period of at least 10 days additional efforts shall be made to persuade the recipient or other person to comply with this part and to take such corrective action as may be appropriate.
(1) Fix a date not less than 20 days after the date of such notice within which the applicant or recipient may request of the Secretary that the matter be scheduled for hearing, or
(2) Advise the applicant or recipient that the matter in question has been set down for hearing at a stated place and time. The time and place so fixed shall be reasonable and shall be subject to change for cause. The complainant, if any, shall be advised of the time and place of the hearing. An applicant or recipient may waive a hearing and submit written information and argument for the record. The failure of an applicant or recipient to request a hearing under this section or to appear at a hearing under this section or to appear at a hearing for which a date has been set shall be deemed to be a waiver of the right to a hearing under section 602 of the Act and § 31.8(b) of this part and consent to the making of a decision on the basis of such information as is available.
(2) Technical rules of evidence shall not apply to hearings conducted pursuant to this part, but rules or principles designed to assure production of the most credible evidence available and to subject testimony to test by cross-examination shall be applied where reasonably necessary by the officer conducting the hearing. The hearing officer may exclude irrelevant, immaterial, or unduly repetitious evidence. All documents and other evidence offered or taken for the record shall be open to examination by the parties and opportunity shall be given to refute facts and arguments advanced on either side of the issues. A transcript shall be made of the oral evidence except to the extent the substance thereof is stipulated for the record. All decisions shall be based upon the hearing record and written findings shall be made.
(2) Any applicant or recipient adversely affected by an order entered pursuant to paragraph (c) of this section may at any time request the Secretary to restore fully its eligibility to receive Federal financial assistance. Any such request shall be supported by information showing that the applicant or recipient has met the requirements of paragraph (f)(1) of this section. If the Secretary determines that those requirements have been satisfied, he shall restore such eligibility.
(3) If the Secretary denies any such request, the applicant or recipient may submit a request for a hearing in writing, specifying why it believes the Secretary to have been in error. It shall thereupon be given an expeditious hearing, with a decision on the record, in accordance with rules of procedure issued by the Secretary. The applicant or recipient will be restored to such eligibility if it proves at such a hearing that it satisfied the requirements of paragraph (f)(1) of this section. While proceedings under this paragraph are pending, the sanctions imposed by the order issued under paragraph (e) of this section shall remain in effect.
Action taken pursuant to section 602 of the Act is subject to judicial review as provided in section 603 of the Act.
(1) Executive Orders 10925, 11114 and 11246 and regulations issued thereunder,
(2) The "Standards for a Merit System of Personnel Administration," issued jointly by the Secretaries of Defense, of Health, Education and Welfare, and of Labor, 23 FR 734, or
(3) Any other regulation or instruction insofar as it prohibits discrimination on the ground of race, color, or national origin in any program or situation to which this part is inapplicable, or prohibits discrimination on any other ground.
(2) Any action taken, determination made, or requirement imposed by an official of another Department or agency acting pursuant to an assignment of responsibility under this subsection shall have the same effect as though such action had been taken by the Secretary.

The Waterfall display can be controlled by adding query arguments to the
URL. For example, if your Waterfall is accessed via the URL
http://buildbot.example.org:8080, then you could add a
branch= argument (described below) by going to
http://buildbot.example.org:8080?branch=beta4 instead. Remember that
query arguments are separated from each other with ampersands, but they are
separated from the main URL with a question mark, so to add a
branch= and two builder= arguments, you would use
The last_time= argument is a unix timestamp (seconds since the
start of 1970) that will be used as an upper bound on the interval of events
displayed: nothing will be shown that is more recent than the given time.
When no argument is provided, all events up to and including the most recent
steps are included.
The first_time= argument provides the lower bound. No events will
be displayed that occurred before this timestamp. Instead of providing
first_time=, you can provide show_time=: in this case,
first_time will be set equal to last_time minus
show_time. show_time overrides first_time.
The display normally shows the latest 200 events that occurred in the
given interval, where each timestamp on the left hand edge counts as a single
event. You can add a num_events= argument to override this this.
By passing show_events=true, you can remove the "buildslave
attached", "buildslave detached", and "builder reconfigured" events that
appear in-between the actual builds.
Show non-Build events
If you provide one or more branch= arguments, the display will be
limited to builds that used one of the given branches. If no branch=
arguments are given, builds from all branches will be displayed.
By adding one or more builder= arguments, the display will be
limited to showing builds that ran on the given builders. This serves to
limit the display to the specific named columns. If no builder=
arguments are provided, all Builders will be displayed.
To view a Waterfall page with only a subset of Builders displayed, select
the Builders you are interested in here.
By adding one or more committer= arguments, the display will be
limited to showing builds that were started by the given committer. If no
committer= arguments are provided, all builds will be displayed.
To view a Waterfall page with only a subset of Builds displayed, select
the committers your are interested in here.
By adding the failures_only=true argument, the display will be limited
to showing builders that are currently failing. A builder is considered
failing if the last finished build was not successful, a step in the current
build(s) failed, or if the builder is offline.
Show failures only
Adding a reload= argument will cause the page to automatically
reload itself after that many seconds.

Some blog updates
So I spent some time working on the blog this evening. A few weeks ago I did a little blog makeover. There were a few things that I left somewhat unfinished then and I think I may have fixed some of those.
- I fixed the width of the archive and category drop downs in the far left column.
- I reduced the maximum font in the tag cloud in the other column. There are still a few tags that kind of "bleed over" into neighboring ones but I think it looks much better.
- I fixed where the reCaptcha anti-spam comment plugin was appearing way off the side of the screen. I know some of you don't like that plugin but I don't care because it's my blog, so bite me.
Constructive bug reports or things that don't seem right are welcome. Comments about how you don't like this layout or how it's boring or other such opinions unwelcome.

A piano that receives regular tuning and maintenance remains a joy to play for years. Keeping your piano in tune not only encourages your family to enjoy music in your home, but regular piano tuning and maintenance protects your family, school or church's investment from the wear and tear of neglect.
Piano tuning is not a DIY affair. When your piano begins to sound more like the background music to Psycho than the soundtrack from the Titanic, or if it's been more than a year since your piano was last tuned, it's time to call in your East Metro Atlanta area professional piano tuner. Better still; make that call to a Piano Technicians Guild, Registered Piano Technician (RPT).
My name is Richard Bazemore. I'm one of the few Registered Piano Technicians (RPT) serving East Atlanta and outlying areas in East Georgia. I've worked tuning pianos in churches, schools and organizations, music studios and private homes along the I-20 corridor from East Atlanta to Lake Oconee since 2001. To hear satisfied customers sing the praises of Pianos In Tune, please check out our client testimonials.
At Pianos in Tune, I provide custom piano tuning tailored to the needs of each pianist. What works best for a beginner differs from what a concert pianist, recording artist or vocalist desires from the performance of their piano. I take the time to get to know each piano and pianist, so that I can design your piano tuning service plan to meet your needs and fit your budget.
In addition to piano tuning, I provide piano repair, regulation, and voicing for all makes, models, and types of acoustic pianos: spinet pianos, console pianos, studio upright pianos, full-size upright pianos and grand pianos of every size.
If you'd like to schedule an appointment, you can call 770-787-4890 or email email@example.com. Thank you stopping by! For more tips and information on pianos and piano maintenance, please have a look around my blog and the other pages of this site to learn more!
Watch as your Local Registered Piano Technician Richard Bazemore describes the qualities of an out-of-tune piano. You'll learn the warning signs to look for and the tuning methods we use to get your piano sounding perfect. Determine if your piano needs to be tuned, read more about our piano tuning service, and give us a call today!
