The Music Of The Venezuelan Presidential Campaigns
On Sunday, voters in Venezuela will head to the polls, and in Caracas, the noise level is as high as voters' emotions. There is a background noise that accompanies everyday life in Latin America, a constant soundtrack: music blaring from food stands and cars, loud automobiles that are so run-down they defy the laws of physics, street vendors yelling product names. I've spoken to many immigrants to the U.S. who, like me, first arrived to live in the suburbs and found the absence of bochinche, or ruckus, maddening.
During election season in most Latin countries, things get especially raucous. Cars drive by waving party flags and honking. Rallies pop up throughout the city. Political music blasts everywhere, often from booths set up on sidewalks. While musicians in the U.S. endorse candidates, and politicians seize on particular songs as their campaign themes, campaigns in Latin America often develop entire soundtracks.
The coming election in Venezuela will decide whether or not the country continues the socialist policies of late President Hugo Chavez, embodied by the nominee from his party, Nicolas Maduro, or embarks on a new course under opposition candidate Henrique Capriles. Rallies for both candidates occur every day, and the mood can switch from celebratory to tense in a matter of seconds. The music is an extension of that constant presence. Campaign cars and trucks drive through the capital of Caracas, honking and playing their respective party's soundtrack, which you can buy from street vendors who weave in and out of traffic or at one of the many stands staked out throughout the city.
The offerings range from incredibly cheesy jingles to infectious dance tunes and powerful folk ballads. At one of the red points — what Venezuelans call the red-roofed socialist stands that adorn the city like polka dots — a young man named Alvaro Perez manned a DJ booth, where he spun records praising Chavez and urged Venezuelans to vote for Maduro.
The music can edge from patriotism to vitriol. In the staunchly pro-Chavez 23 de Enero neighborhood this week, a party truck drove by playing an ominous jingle that includes the lyrics, "He who doesn't vote for Maduro doesn't have a heart / like a dead man."
Meanwhile, the opposition scored a musical coup when Puerto Rican salsa legend Willie Colón penned a song called "Mentira Fresca" or "New Lie." The lyrics take aim at Maduro and the policies of his predecessor: "Fresh lies spoke again on television. He said there wouldn't be another devaluation. He's just the substitute, in charge of making a disaster worse." It's become an anthem among conservatives.
As with every musical beef, there was a witty response. Last week, candidate Maduro responded directly to Willie Colón: He suggested Colón listen to Eddie Palmieri's "Sujetate La Lengua," or "Bite Your Tongue." That's something nobody involved in this election is doing.
This is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Melissa Block.
And I'm Audie Cornish.
On Sunday, Venezuelans head to the polls to choose their next president. They'll be deciding between Socialist candidate Nicolas Maduro, who promises to continue the policies of the late president Hugo Chavez, and their other choice, opposition candidate Henrique Capriles.
In American politics, musicians often endorse candidates, and politicians seize on particular songs as their campaign sound. But in Venezuela, campaigns seem to have their own soundtracks. NPR's Jasmine Garsd reports from the capital Caracas.
JASMINE GARSD, BYLINE: This is the music of the United Socialist Party. It's blaring from a punto rojo, or red spot. That's what Venezuelans call the red-roofed Socialist Party stands that are like polka dots across the country. Twelve-year-old Juan Antonio Gutierrez and his friends are manning it. Gutierrez explains that this song by Venezuelan singer Lilia Vera commemorates the failed coup against the Chavez government on April 11, 2002.
JUAN ANTONIO GUTIERREZ: (Foreign language spoken)
GARSD: He says April 11th was such a difficult time. We never want something like that to happen again. Gutierrez, standing in downtown Caracas, says he reminds passerbys that in his last speech, Chavez instructed followers to pick Maduro. Among the songs blaring from his socialist stand is one by popular Venezuelan musician Hany Kauam, who put Chavez's speech to music.
PRESIDENT HUGO CHAVEZ: (Foreign language spoken)
GARSD: In the song, Chavez says his decision to leave power to Maduro is as clear as the moon. The singer then praises Chavez's revolution. In another more posh part of Caracas, street vendors weave in and out of the endless traffic, selling the soundtrack of the opposition.
GARSD: The center-right Justice First Party, led by crew-cut Capriles, is not much for blaring music on the street. But several tracks on the opposition's CDs sound like they could be playing at a club. They urge people to mobilize for job opportunities and freedom of speech. And the opposition scored a musical coup when Puerto Rican salsa legend Willie Colon penned a song called "Mentira Fresca," or "Fresh Lie."
WILLIE COLON: (Singing in foreign language)
GARSD: The lyrics take aim at Maduro: Fresh lies spoke again on television. He said there wouldn't be another devaluation. He's just the substitute, in charge of making a disaster worse. This has become the anthem of the opposition. And, as with every musical beef, there's a comeback. Last week, candidate Maduro responded directly to Willie Colon.
PRESIDENT NICOLAS MADURO: (Foreign language spoken)
GARSD: He suggested Colon listen to Eddie Palmieri's "Sujetate La Lengua" or "Bite Your Tongue," something no one in this election is doing.
EDDIE PALMIERI: (Singing in foreign language)

Washington, DC 20555-0001
This report to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) presents the observations and recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) concerning the NRC Safety Research Program being carried out by the Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research (RES). In its evaluation of the NRC research activities, the ACRS considered the programmatic justification for the research as well as the technical approaches and progress of the work. The evaluation identifies research crucial to the NRC missions. The report also addresses the issue of long-term sustained research at the NRC. This report does not address the research being done at NRC on issues of reactor security or the threat of sabotage. The ACRS views on current work in the area of security have been reported in separate documents. Two pertinent, interdisciplinary efforts, the State-of-the-Art Reactor Consequence Analyses (SOARCA) Project and the study of sump screen blockage are not addressed in this report. These projects are actively followed by the Committee. The ACRS has been providing interim reports on the technical approach and progress of these activities.

A haplotype map of the human genome. Nature. 2005 Oct 27;437(7063):1299-320. PubMed.
Please login to recommend the paper.
With the completion of the HapMap and its commercialization by Illumina and Affymetrix, it should be possible for researchers to find susceptibility alleles which have an odds ratio of >2 for any disorder, including Alzheimer disease, over the next couple of years. The expense will be high: Sample sizes of about 500 cases and 500 controls will be needed, and the cost per sample is on the order of $900. But if there are anymore genes with the effect size of ApoE out there, for AD or other diseases, we should now be able to find them.View all comments by John Hardy
Q&A with Lars Bertram.
Q: Does the map provide enough resolution?
A: On average, the haplotype map has investigated about 1 SNP every 5,000 bases (i.e., 5 kb). For most applications this density should be sufficient to allow linkage disequilibrium mapping of common variants with at least moderate effects in genetically complex diseases. However, a phase 2 of the HapMap is planned which will probably more than quadruple this resolution.
Q: Is there anything particular about Alzheimer disease that makes
haplotyping any more or less useful than for other diseases?
A: The good news for AD is that its heritability, even of the late-onset form, is relatively well established. Even after excluding the effects of ApoE, this means that there are probably several additional genetic risk factors waiting to be identified. The bad news is that AD is a late-onset disease which usually means that parents are deceased when their offspring develop the disease and no parental samples are available to precisely reconstruct
("phase") haplotypes. Nonetheless, the HapMap data was assembled based on child-parent trios, so much of the haplotype phasing has already been done.
Q: Will the HapMap help in complex diseases, where several variants on
different chromosomes must interact, for example?
A: While the HapMap has many valuable uses in designing and interpreting future genetic association in AD and other diseases, it will unfortunately not help to better understand interactions between different genetic loci or non-genetic factors, because such interactions likely vary from phenotype to phenotype.
Q: Will the HapMap help in diseases where gene silencing, mRNA
splicing, and other post-transcriptional and post-translational
modifications are key to the pathophysiology?
A: If these pathophysiological changes are actually caused by common genetic variants in the genome, HapMap will definitely help us find them. It will still require a good number of experiments, though, to actually prove the causal relationship between associated SNPs on the one hand, and differences in mRNA splicing (for instance) on the other hand.
Q: Is the principle of tagging haplotypes scientifically sound, or
does it run the risk of missing out on haplotypes that are low in
frequency but high
in consequence?
A: The principle of tagging haplotypes to cover untyped common genetic variants is certainly sound, and—with the data provided by the current HapMap release—has just become a whole lot easier. As everything in science, it does have limitations (such as finding very low-frequency polymorphisms or haplotypes). However, this is a rapidly evolving field and the planned phase 2 release of the HapMap, together with novel analytic strategies, should facilitate even the search for such uncommon variants in the near future.View all comments by Lars Bertram

Islamabad—Even as India and Pakistan were actively engaged in laying a framework for normalizing their relations in the aftermath of Operation Parkaram (Dec 2001 – Oct 2002), RAW's Counter Intelligence Team – X (CIT-X), assigned to conduct subversive operations targeting Pakistan was working relentlessly to destabilize the country. According to well placed sources the details of these plans came to light once a copy of the classified document detailing these activities was accidentally lost and became available for public scrutiny.
The strategy to advance the interaction with Pakistan on the diplomatic channels, while perpetrating acts of terrorism on a parallel track, was envisaged after the failure of Indian spell of coercive diplomacy vis-à-vis Pakistan during the Premiership of Atal Bihari Vajpaee. The document lays out the extensive espionage network dovetailed into the diplomatic missions in Central Asia, particularly Afghanistan, and Middle East which the Indian under cover intelligence operatives utilize to rake trouble not only in FATA but in Pakistani hinterland as well.
As per details given in the purloined paper, agents for anti-Pakistan subversion were trained in 57 training camps established in the IHK, East Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Assam. Activists of anti Pakistan nationalist groups were the focus of Indian search for recruits who received cash weapons and ammunitions from undercover RAW operatives masquerading as Al Qaeda agents. While sections of the Taleban have been named as perpetrators of some of the most heinous and bloody acts of subversion in Pakistan, it were their Indian handlers who manipulated the invisible strings. Mossad's tactics of infiltrating Palestinian resistance acted as model and provided the modus operandi for CIT – X to stir insurgency on Pakistan's Western border that, hitherto fore, had remained free from a military threat.
Apart from concentrating on the FATA Region, stoking the fires of sub-national movements in Pakistan can be identified as one of the vulnerable area where Indian Agencies are focused; reveals the document. Targeting interior regions of Sind province, Seraiki belt and the Northern Areas of Pakistan forms pivots of the Indian plan, receiving riveting and ceaseless attention of CIT – X , reveals the classified document.
1. A declassified document of RAW has revealed CIT 'X' Operations which spells out the Mossad / RAW / CIA plot against Pakistan Indicating that Pakistan has been effectively engaged in for a long hot summer as the "Summer Offensive Continues". Following contents are the proof that Pakistan has been looking for:-
(1) Intelligence has successfully tapped known international drug and mafia dons against Pakistan. CIT "X" is effectively training agents for covert operations in Pakistan. Under the Vajpayee government, the CIT "X" and other sensitive organizations were authorized to strengthen contacts with sleeping agents, and recruit new front men to carry out covert operations in Pakistan.
(2) All possible international criminal and mercenaries, including Afghans were engaged for covert purpose during LK Advani's tenure in the Home Ministry. CIT "X" is actively involved in drug trafficking to finance its covert operations.
(3) Illegal poppy is being cultivated in bulk in Himachal Pradesh, Arunchal Pradesh, Mizoram and Uttar Pradesh. Drug barons have close links with their Afghan counterparts, completely controlled, and continuously monitored by various intelligence agencies. India today stands as the fifth largest country in the world in the production of illicit opium. Laos is 4th with 20 metric tons and has directly tied up with RAW and internal drug barons. Some people of Indian origin living in Surinam and Holland have been engaged to facilitate Indian agencies in drug trafficking. Under the benign patronage of CIT "X" the business of drug trafficking is flourishing and the money earned is accounted for and is being directed towards covert activities in Pakistan.
(4) The summer offensive includes establishment of 57 training camps in Occupied Kashmir, East Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujrat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnatka and Assam to train and launch terrorists inside Pakistan. Trainees are generally drawn from the Indian hatched dissident groups of Mohajir Qaumi Movement (MQM), Jiye Sindh Mohaz,
(1) RAW Centers at London, Dubai, Iran, and South Africa operate against Pakistan jointly with Israeli MOSSAD. However, for its summer offensive RAW in a joint effort with MOSSAD has laid out a whole network around Pakistan to ensure success through destabilization.
(2) During Wana operations the miscreants were fed cash, weapons and ammunition indirectly by RAW operatives under cover of Al-Qaeda. Mossad and AMMAN have also contributed heavily towards the funding and material requirements for those operations.
(1) Iran, having contiguous borders with Pakistan, is a hot bed of intrigues and constant source of support and inspiration to RAW functionaries. The Indian Embassy at Tehran and Consulates in Zahidan, Mashhad and Bandar Abbas are actively engaged in establishing links with disgruntled elements of Balochistan and Sindh for destabilizing these provinces. RAW is maintaining contacts / their sources / links in Pakistan through their consulates at Zahidan and Dubai. Most of the staff at Indian Consulate in Zahidan is from intelligence / security organizations including RAW, Intelligence Bureau and Military Intelligence. Irani intelligence has been providing reliable information and support to RAW operations by using disgruntled Shia elements in Pakistan.
(1) This intelligence model is an improvement on the practices of MOSSAD, which has infiltrated several Jewish agents into the occupied territory of Palestine as Muslims. These agents practice Islam like any ordinary Muslim. Mingle into local Muslim population just to wait for the appropriate time to strike. While Taliban and Al-Qaeda are getting the blame and Pakistan gets the rap for "not doing enough" by US and FRIENDLY" Afghan authorities
(1) UAE is being used as a launching pad for terrorist activities in Pakistan. Agents are getting hold of young, disgruntled elements and after carrying out their proper brainwashing, they are dispatched to Dubai. Indian Consulate in Dubai is issuing temporary passport to these activists for getting training / briefing. After completion of their formal training, they are launched into Pakistan to carry out their terrorist / sabotage activities.
(1) To cripple the economy of Pakistan, RAW has taken it upon itself the responsibility of pumping fake currency into Pakistan through various illegal means.
(1) To fan flames of Sindhi Desh Movement subversive literature, published from Bombay and Jammu e.g. Sindh Sujag. Sindh Rises, Sindh Parcham, Sangat and lot of other subversive material is being pumped into Sindh clandestinely. Whereas, RAW is morally and maerially supporting the Saraiki Movement in southern Punjab. Regional Political Parties like Saraiki Suba Mahaz, Pakistan Saraiki Party and Saraiki Sahaliya Sangam are being effectively sponsored. Subversive literature in huge quantity is being published on the subject.
(1) RAW is also involved in sponsoring Balwaristan Movement. It is being organized under Abdul Hamid, self styled Chairman of his own faction of Balwaristan National Front based in Delhi. The Front is working for the independence of Northern Areas. It has been sending into Pakistan a highly subversive material from abroad.
2. The hostile intelligence operatives are making concerted / unified attempts to achieve their aim of destabilizing Pakistan through a well conceived / articulated plan. Pakistan needs to counter it by utilizing all means available.

Have you ever wondered what a true hero is like? When people say hero, they usually think of cartoon characters like Superman, Spiderman, or SpongeBob. But for me, I will think of my mom. My mom is caring, encouraging, and she loves me. I won't be able to make it to today if she had never taught me all those lessons of life.
My mom cares for my family and me. She cares about my schoolwork as well as housework. My grandma once told me that when my mom was my age, she took care of my aunts and uncles before she get to have a time of her own. She is always willing to help others on their time of needs. When I accidentally broke something, she's the first person I came to. Whenever things go wrong, she is the one that I trust the most.
My mom is always encouraging me to do well in school and at home. She keeps telling me not to give up no matter how complicated and intricate objective is. My mom is always encouraging me not to step down the stairs of life. When I bring home a bad grade, she always gently talk to me and expected me to do better.
Sometimes, I got irate because she expected too much out of me, but at the end, I realize that she was always be there for me when I need her.
My mom loves me ever since she carried me and she always will be for the rest of her life. She never did tell me, but somewhere deep inside, I know it was love. Even though sometimes I talk back at her, I know that I will always be her sweetheart. My mom loves me for who I am and she will love me if I changed. My mom is always willing to sacrifice herself for my family and me.
Sometimes I catch myself, hating her, but the truth is I hated myself for disobeying her. My mom is a wonderful person.

At first glance, the Friday jobs report looks like a mixed bag for the economy and the presidential election. Payrolls increased by 171,000 in October—eclipsing Wall Street projections by 46,000 jobs—but the unemployment rate ticked up by one-tenth of a percentage point to 7.9 percent.
But sift through the data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and several intriguing trends emerge: the rebound in government employment, signs that the fiscal cliff has not hampered hiring, as claimed by business, and the increase in part-time employment.
The political response was entirely predictable. Republican Mitt Romney released a statement calling the increase in the unemployment rate "a sad reminder that the economy is at a virtual standstill.
"The jobless rate is higher than it was when President Obama took office," Romney said. "On Tuesday, America will make a choice between stagnation and prosperity." The unemployment rate was 7.8 percent when Obama became the president in January. But Romney himself told CNBC in July that it's only fair to judge a president's record after six months to a year in office—enough time for an administration's policies to take effect.
By that standard, Obama can claim a meaningful—though lackluster by historical standards—drop in an employment rate that peaked at 10 percent four years ago. Despite the departure of discouraged workers from the labor force over the past four years that helped make that drop in the unemployment rate possible, the White House interpreted the October figures as a sign of steady progress.
"It is critical that we continue the policies that are building an economy that works for the middle class as we dig our way out of the deep hole that was caused by the severe recession that began in December 2007," Alan Krueger, chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, said in a blog post. "Over the last 12 months, the economy has added a total of 2.1 million jobs, as compared to 1.9 million over the preceding 12 months."
The unemployment rate increased largely because the labor participation rate rose to 63.8 percent from 63.6 percent rate, an influx of workers back into the economy that was greater than the jobs gains traded slightly lower on Friday morning, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average down 43 points, or 0.33 percent.
The economy in October surpassed the average of 156,900 new jobs a month so far this year. That indicates that the consequences of the fiscal cliff—a mix of tax hikes and spending cuts that's slated to begin next year unless a deal can be brokered between Capitol Hill and the White House—have yet to be entirely felt.
Friday's report also revised upward employment figures from August and September by 84,000, mostly because government payrolls were updated to show an additional 55,000 jobs, a suggestion that the drag on the economy caused by the publicrivate sector is easing. But the additional hiring has not increased hourly wages—which were flat in October.
"For production and non-supervisory workers, the wage situation is even more restrained, with average earnings up only 1.1% in the past year," Kevin Logan, chief US economist for HSBC, wrote in a client note. "This is the smallest increase in wages on record for the data going back to 1964."
Logan also observed the shocking increase in part-time workers from the employment report's household survey. The number of part-time employees for "economic reasons" has grown by 300,000 over the past two months to 8.3 million.
"This is a sign that some of the recent hiring spurt has been related to increased part-time work," Logan said, "perhaps because firms are not yet confident enough about future demand to keep workers on full-time."

I'm trying to write a C programm to change some Network-properties, but didn't find out how exactly to do this.
With the mouse I would just go to the properties of a connection(in control-panel->networks). There I want to uncheck some components and deactivating "netbios over TCP/IP" (in the advanced properties of TCP/IP).
But I couldn't figure out, how to do it in my program.
Could someone please give me a pointer to the right API-call?
(I also tried to change those values directly in the registry, but as far as i see, it is saved in a huge binary key. )
Any ideas welcome.

Academic Year
The period during which school is in session. UM-Flint has four separate enrollment periods and for financial aid purposes, the academic year begins with Fall and runs through Summer.
Accrued Interest
The interest that accumulates on the unpaid balance of a loan.
Alternative Loans
Loans that are established by private lenders to supplement the student and parent education loan programs available from federal and state governments.
Annual Percentage Rate (APR)
The interest associated with a loan, which can change or remain the same during the year and term of the loan.
An asset is defined as property owned by the student or the family and has an exchange value. There are four types of assets: cash, savings and checking accounts; investments; businesses; and investment farms.
Award Notice
An award notice is an official email or letter sent to the student informing them of their financial aid package. Students will also receive and email notice whenever their packaged undergoes a revision.
When a person is declared bankrupt, he is found to be legally insolvent and his property is distributed among his creditors or otherwise administered to satisfy the interests of his creditors. Federal student loans, however, cannot normally be discharged through bankruptcy.
The person who is responsible for repaying a loan and who has signed and agreed to the terms in the promissory note.
The budget is an estimation of what it costs to go to school for a specific period of enrollment. It is calculated using an estimated cost of tuition & fees; room & board; books & supplies; personal/miscellaneous expenses; and transportation. It is also based on: residency status for tuition purposes (in-state or out-of state); class level (undergraduate or graduate); housing preference (off-campus or living-at-home); and enrollment status (terms/sessions and full time, part time enrollment). The estimations are based upon averages for each category and are not reflective of actual or projected costs. Actual tuition & fees are published each year (generally after July 1) and are subject to Board of Regents approval. Additional tuition, fee, dependent care, study abroad or other educational expenses may be considered.
Some loan programs provide for release of borrowers from their obligations to repay their loans. Borrowers must meet certain requirements to be eligible for cancellations such as death or permanent disability of the borrower. Some of the Federal student loan programs have additional cancellation provisions.
Adding unpaid accumulated interest to the loan principal.
Citizen/Eligible Non-citizen
To receive financial aid, a student must be a U.S. Citizen, U.S. National, or an eligible non-citizen. Generally, a student is an eligible non-citizen if they are:
- A U.S. Permanent resident and have an Alien Registration Receipt Card (I-551)
- A conditional permanent resident (I-551C)
- Another eligible non-citizen with an arrival departure record (I-94) from the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service showing any one of the following designations: "Refugee", "Asylum Granted", "Indefinite Parole", "Humanitarian Parole" or "Cuban-Haitian Entrant".
Students on only an F1 or F2 student visa, a J1 or J2 exchange visitor visa or a G services visa, are neither a citizen nor eligible non-citizen.
Collection Costs
Costs the lender or servicer incurs when collecting a delinquent or defaulted loan. These costs are charged to the borrower.
Form of refinancing and a way to simplify the repayment of federal loans. The process will move all individual federal loans with individual repayment amounts and create a new loan with one monthly payment.
A person who signs a credit agreement besides the borrower and is legally obligated to take responsibility for loan repayment if the borrower does not make payments.
Cost of Attendance
The cost of attendance (COA), also known as the budget, is an estimation of what it costs to go to school for a specific period of enrollment. The COA is calculated using an estimated cost of tuition & fees; room & board; books & supplies; personal/miscellaneous expenses; and transportation. The COA is also based on: residency status for tuition purposes (in-state or out-of state); class level (undergraduate or graduate); housing preference (off-campus or living-at-home); and enrollment status (terms/sessions and full time, part time enrollment). The estimations are based upon averages for each category and are not reflective of actual or projected costs. Actual tuition & fees are published each year (generally after July 1) and are subject to Board of Regents approval. Additional tuition, fee, dependent care, study abroad or other educational expenses may be considered.
Failure to repay a loan according to the terms and agreements. Defaulting on a loan may result in legal action to recover the money, including garnishing wages and withholding income tax refunds. Defaulting on a government loan will make you ineligible for future federal financial aid, unless a satisfactory repayment is arranged. Defaulting adversely affects your credit rating.
Deferment occurs when a borrower is allowed to temporarily postpone repaying the loan. If you have a subsidized loan, the federal government pays the interest charges during the deferment period. If you have an unsubsidized loan, you are responsible for the interest that accrues during the deferment period. You can still postpone paying the interest charges by capitalizing the interest, which increases the size of the loan. Most federal loan programs allow students to defer their loans while they are in school at least half-time. If you don't qualify for a deferment, you may be able to get forbearance. You can't get a deferment if your loan is in default.
Dependency Status
An independent student is one who is at least 24 years old as of January 1 of the upcoming academic year, is married, is a graduate or professional student, has a legal dependent other than a spouse, is a veteran of the US Armed Forces, or is an orphan or ward of the court (or were a ward of the court until age 18). All other students are considered dependent.
If you are unable to obtain parental information due to untenable or unusual circumstances, contact a financial aid officer. You do not qualify for independent status if your parents have decided to not claim you as an exemption on their tax returns or are refusing to provide support for your college education.
For more information, click here.
When payments from a loan are late or missed, as specified in the terms of the promissory note and the selected repayment plan.
Direct Loan
The U. S. Department of Education's agent contracted to collect Direct Loan payments and handled deferments, repayment options and consolidation.
Disbursement is the release of financial aid towards school account for payment of tuition, fees, and other school charges.
Loans that have been canceled because of bankruptcy, total and permanent disability, death of borrower or school closure. (See cancellation)
Disclosure Statement
The disclosure statement is sent by the lender 30 calendar days before the first anticipated disbursement and provides the borrower with information about their loan types, anticipated loan disbursement amounts, loan fee rate, amount of loan fee, anticipated disbursement dates, and anticipated net disbursements.
Eligible Non-Citizen
Someone who is not a US citizen but is nevertheless eligible for Federal student aid. Eligible non-citizens include US permanent residents who are holders of valid green cards, US nationals, holders of form I-94 who have been granted refugee or asylum status, and certain other non-citizens. Non-citizens who hold a student visa or an exchange visitor visa are not eligible for Federal student aid.
Enrollment Status
Students are classified as either full-time, three-quarters-time, half-time, or less-than-half-time. This may determine the amount of aid a student receives.
The table below indicates classification depending on status as a graduate/undergraduate and semester.

Entrance counseling can be completed online here.
Exit Counseling
A session during which borrowers who are leaving school or dropping below half time enrollment receive important information about their repayment obligations and update information about themselves.
Exit counseling is completed by appointment. Click here to contact a financial aid officer for more information.
Expected Family Contribution (EFC)
The Expected Family Contribution (EFC) is the amount of money that the family is expected to be able to contribute to the student's education, as determined by the Federal Methodology[?] need analysis formula approved by Congress. This number is used to determine a student's financial aid awards.
Federal Methodology (FM)
The Federal Methodology is the need analysis formula used to determine the EFC[?]. The Federal Methodology takes family size, the number of family members in college, taxable and nontaxable income, and assets into account.
Federal Processor
The Federal Processor is the U.S. Department of Education's agent that processes the information submitted on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to compute eligibility for federal student aid.
Financial Aid

Financial Aid Officer
A Financial Aid Officer is a University of Michigan - Flint professional employee who assists students and families in finding options to fund your college education.
Financial Aid Package
The financial aid package is the complete collection of grants, scholarships, loans, and work-study employment from all sources (federal, state, institutional, and private) offered to a student to enable them to attend the college or university.
First-Time Borrower
A first-time borrower is a student at UM-Flint who has not borrowed a federal loan. First time borrowers are required to complete entrance counseling[?] and sign a master promissory note.
Fixed Interest Rate
A rate of interest[?] accumulation that remains the same from the day of the loan to the last repayment.
An arrangement to postpone or reduce a borrower's monthly payment amount for a limited and specified period or to extend the repayment period. Borrowers are charged interest during forbearance and must continue paying the interest charges during the forbearance period. Forbearance is granted at the lender's discretion, usually in cases of extreme financial hardship or other unusual circumstances when the borrower does not qualify for a deferment. Borrowers can't receive forbearance if their loan is in default.
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is used to apply for all federal aid including the Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), Federal College Work Study (FCWS), Federal Direct Student Loans (FDS/FDU), Federal Direct Parent Loan (PLUS) and all other need-based aid.
Students need to re-apply each year they want to be considered for aid. Click here to learn more about the FAFSA.
Gift Aid
Gift aid is financial aid, such as grants and scholarships, which does not need to be repaid.
Grace Period
The grace period is a short time period after graduation during which the borrower is not required to begin repaying his or her student loans. The grace period starts the day after a borrower ceases to be enrolled at least half time. Depending on the type of loan, students will have a grace period of six months (Direct Loans) or nine months (Perkins Loans) before they must start making payments on their student loans. The PLUS Loans do not have a grace period. During the grace period for Federal Direct Unsubsidized loans, interest must be paid or it will be capitalized.
Graduate PLUS Loan
A federally financed loan made to graduate students who will be enrolled in college who meet specific eligibility requirements. Students may borrow up to the cost of attendance minus any other financial aid received. A credit check will occur to determine if the student is eligible to borrow funds. The federal government charges interest from the date of the first disbursement is made until the loan is paid in full. Payments of principal and interest begin 60 days after the initial disbursement.
Type of gift aid that does not need to be repaid.
Gross Income
This is income before taxes, deductions, and allowances have been subtracted.
Income is the amount of money received from employment (salary, wages, tips), profit from financial instruments (interest, dividends, capital gains), or other sources (welfare, disability, child support, Social Security, and pensions).
Interest is an amount charged to the borrower for the privilege of using the lender's money. Interest is calculated as a percentage of the principal balance of the loan.
Legal Dependent
Student must provide more than half of their support and they must live with you for the upcoming or current academic year. (Does not include children or spouse)
A lender is a bank, credit union, savings & loan association, government or other financial institution that provides funds to the student or parent for an educational loan.
Loan Fee
An expense of borrowing deducted from each loan disbursement.
Loan Forgiveness
Some loan programs provide for release of borrowers from their obligations to repay their loans. Borrowers must meet certain requirements to be eligible for cancellations such as death or permanent disability of the borrower. Some of the Federal student loan programs have additional cancellation provisions.
Financial aid that is merit-based depends academic, artistic, or athletic merit, or some other criteria, and does not depend on the existence of financial need. Merit-based awards use grades, test scores, hobbies, and special talents to determine eligibility for scholarships.
Michigan Resident
An in-state student has met the legal residency requirements for the state, and is eligible for Michigan residency in-state student tuition at UM-Flint.
The difference between the COA[?] is the student's financial need - the gap between the cost of attending the school and the student's resources. The financial aid package is based on the amount of financial need. The process of determining a student's need is known as need analysis.
Financial aid that is need-based depends on your financial situation. Some forms of need based federal aid are: Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), Federal College Work Study (FWS), and Federal Direct Subsidized Student Loans.
Non-Michigan Resident
An out-of-state student has not met the legal residency requirements for the state, and is charged as a non-Michigan resident tuition rate.
Financial aid that is non need-based does not depend on your financial situation. Non-need-based aid eligibility is based on the difference between the cost of attendance and the resources awarded. Some forms of non-need-based federal aid are: Federal Direct Unsubsidized Student Loan, and the Federal Direct Parent Loan (PLUS).
Net Income
This is income after taxes, deductions, and allowances have been subtracted.
Origination Fee
The origination fee is paid to the bank to compensate them for the cost of administering the loan. The origination fees are charged as the loan is disbursed. A portion of this fee is paid to federal government to offset the administrative costs of the loan.
Outside Resource
An outside resource is aid received that is not based on submitting a FAFSA[?] such as private donor scholarships, prepaid tuition plans, graduate assistantships, and VA educational benefits.
When a student receives more financial aid than their eligibility based on their gross need, cost of attendance or the individual program award requirements.
An overpayment is created whenever a student received federal aid that exceeded his or her eligibility based on a student error, failure to report information, or an obligation to return funds. A student is not eligible for additional funds until the debt is repaid in full or satisfactory repayment arrangement is made.
Packaging is the process of assembling financial aid funds to assist in covering a student's cost of attendance.
Parent Contribution (PC)
The Parent Contribution is an estimate of the portion of educational expenses that the federal methodology calculation determines your parents can contribute. It is based on their income, the number of parents earning income, assets, family size, the number of family members currently attending a university, and other relevant factors. Students who qualify as independent are not expected to have a parent contribution.
Parent PLUS Loan
A federally financed parent loan made to parents of students who will be enrolled in college who meet specific eligibility requirements. Parents may borrow up to the cost of attendance minus any other financial aid received. A credit check will occur to determine if the parent is eligible to borrow funds. The federal government charges interest from the date of the first disbursement is made until the loan is paid in full. Payments of principal and interest begin 60 days after the initial disbursement.
Pell Grant
Federal grant program for undergraduate students who demonstrate financial need and have not yet completed a baccalaureate degree.
Click here for more information on the Pell Grant.
Perkins Loan
The Federal Perkins Loan is a low-interest (5%) loan for students with financial need. The school is your lender and the loan is made with federal government funds. You must repay the loan to your school.
The principal is the amount of money borrowed or remaining unpaid amount on a loan.
Any amount paid on a loan by the borrower before it is required to be paid under the terms of the promissory note. There is never a penalty for prepaying principal or interest on federal loans. Contact your personal loan servicer for information on making payments.
Private Loans
Loans that are established by private lenders to supplement the student and parent education loan programs available from federal and state governments.
Promissory Note
The promissory note is a legal binding contract between the borrower and the lender. The promissory note states the terms and conditions of the loan, including repayment schedule, interest rate, deferment policy, and cancellations. The borrower should keep this document until the loan has been repaid.
Re-evaluation is a formal request to have a financial aid officer review your aid eligibility and possibly use professional judgment to adjust the figures. For example, if you believe the financial information on your financial aid application does not reflect your family's current ability to pay (e.g., because of death of a parent, unemployment, or other unusual circumstances), you should definitely make an appeal. The financial aid officer may require documentation of the special circumstances or of other information listed on your financial aid application.
Repayment Schedule
The statement provided by the lender indicating the amount borrowed, the amount of monthly payments and the date payments are due.
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)
You must be making Satisfactory Academic Progress in order to continue receiving federal aid. If a student fails to maintain standing consistent with the school's SAP policy it will result in the loss of aid eligibility. For SAP to be satisfied, the overall ratio of attempted and completed coursework must be at least 67%. A student must also be under 150% of the maximum time required to complete a degree.
Selective Service
Selective Service is registration for the military draft. Male students who are US citizens and have reached the age of 18 must be registered with Selective Service to be eligible for federal financial aid.
Click here to register for Selective Service online.
A servicer is an organization that collects payments on a loan and performs other administrative tasks associated with maintaining a loan portfolio. Loan servicers disburse loans funds, monitor loans while the borrowers are in school, collect payments, process deferments and forbearances, respond to borrower inquiries, and ensure that the loans are administered in compliance with federal regulations and guarantee agency requirements.
Student Aid Report (SAR)
The Student Aid Report (SAR) summarizes the information included in the FAFSA[?]. The SAR will also indicate the amount of Pell Grant eligibility, if any, and the Expected Family Contribution (EFC)[?].
Student Contribution
The Student Contribution (SC) is the amount of money the Federal Methodology[?] calculation determines the student can contribute; the SC depends on the student's income, assets, and other factors.
Subsidized Loan
A loan for which the federal government pays the interest while the student is in school, and during grace and deferment periods.
Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant
The Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG) is a federal grant program that does not have to be repaid. The SEOG is awarded to undergraduate students with exceptional need and priority is given to students who received Federal Pell Grant.
Unmet Need
The difference between a student's EFC[?] and the cost of education[?] . Due to funding constraints the office may provide the student with less than the student's need. This gap is known as the unmet need.
Unsubsidized Loan
A loan for which the student is responsible for paying all interest at all times. Interest accrues on the loan from the date of first disbursement until the loan is paid in full. To avoid capitalization of the interest, the interest can be paid before the loan repayment is scheduled to begin.
Untaxed Income
Contributions to IRAs, Keoghs, tax-sheltered annuities, and 401k plans, as well as worker's compensation and welfare benefits.
Variable Interest
Rate of interest on a federal direct loan that is tied to a stated index and changes annually, every July 1, as the index changes.
Verification is a randomly triggered review process in which the financial aid office determines the accuracy of the information provided on the student's FAFSA[?] and the cost of education[?]. During the verification process the student and parent will be required to submit documentation for the amounts listed (or not listed) on the financial aid application. Such documentation may include signed copies of the most recent Federal income tax transcripts for you, your spouse (if any) and your parents, copies of Social Security benefit statements and W2 and 1099 forms, among other things.
If any discrepancies are uncovered during verification, the financial aid office may require additional information to clear up the discrepancies. Such discrepancies may cause your final financial aid package to change.
If the documentation is not submitted, the financial aid package will be cancelled and no aid awarded.
For Federal financial aid purposes such as determining dependency status, a veteran is a former member of the US Armed Forces (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, or Coast Guard) who served on active duty and was discharged other than dishonorably (i.e., received an honorable or medical discharge). You are a veteran even if you serve just one day on active duty - not active duty for training - before receiving your DD-214 and formal discharge papers.
A person who was discharged other than dishonorably from one of the military service academies (the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, the Naval Academy at Annapolis, the Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs, or the Coast Guard Academy at New London) is considered a veteran for financial aid purposes. Cadets and midshipmen who are still enrolled in one of the military service academies, however, are not considered veterans. ROTC students, members of the National Guard, and most reservists are not considered veterans.
W2 Form
Employers are required by the IRS to issue a W2 (Wage and Tax statement) for each employee. The W2 form lists the employee's wages and tax withheld.
Ward of the Court
A ward of the court is someone who is currently or was until age 18 under the protection of the courts. Often a minor becomes a ward of the court when the court determines the child was subject to abuse or neglect. If the court appoints a legal guardian, the parental legal rights have been severed and then they are considered to be a ward of the court. Neither emancipation nor incarceration is considered as wards of the court.
Work Study
A program that provides undergraduate and graduate students with part-time employment during the school year. The federal or state government pays a portion of the student's salary. Eligibility for work study is based on need. Money earned from a work study job is not counted as income for the subsequent year's FAFSA[?] and the cost of education[?] process.

therascreen KRAS RGQ PCR Kit
For the detection of 7 somatic mutations in the KRAS oncogene
The therascreen KRAS RGQ PCR Kit is a molecular diagnostic kit for detection of 7 somatic mutations in the KRAS gene using real-time PCR on Rotor-Gene Q MDx 5plex HRM. The kit provides all necessary reagents optimized for rapid and sensitive detection of a low percentage of mutant DNA in a background of wild-type genomic DNA. ARMS PCR technology combined with the Scorpions detection technology provides exceptionally high sensitivity and specificity for the detection of specific mutations.
Buy Products
The therascreen KRAS RGQ PCR Kit is intended for in vitro diagnostic use.
Product Details
The therascreen KRAS RGQ PCR Kit is intended to detect 7 mutations in codons 12 and 13 of the KRAS gene. The KRAS gene encodes a protein that plays a critical role in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling cascade. Mutations in the KRAS gene can affect how the protein stimulates these downstream pathways. KRAS is mutated in approximately 30% of all cancer types. Cancers that exhibit a high frequency of KRAS mutation include colorectal cancer (35%) and lung (18%) cancer.
KRAS mutations detected by the therascreen KRAS RGQ PCR Kit include:
The kit utilizes 2 technologies — ARMS (Amplification Refractory Mutation System) and Scorpions — for detection of mutations in real-time PCR.
Allele- or mutation-specific amplification is achieved by ARMS. Taq DNA polymerase is effective at distinguishing between a match and a mismatch at the 3' end of a PCR primer. Specific mutated sequences are selectively amplified, even in samples where the majority of the sequences do not carry the mutation. When the primer is fully matched, the amplification proceeds with full efficiency. When the 3' base is mismatched, only low-level background amplification occurs.
Detection of amplification is performed using Scorpions. Scorpions are bifunctional molecules containing a PCR primer covalently linked to a probe. The fluorophore in this probe interacts with a quencher, also incorporated into the probe, that reduces fluorescence. When the probe binds to the amplicon during PCR, the fluorophore and quencher become separated. This leads to an increase in fluorescence from the reaction tube.
The therascreen KRAS RGQ PCR Kit uses a two-step procedure. The first step is performance of the control assay to assess the total DNA in a sample. The second step is to complete the mutation assay for the presence or absence of mutated DNA.
The therascreen KRAS RGQ PCR Kit is intended to detect 7 mutations in codons 12 and 13 of the KRAS gene. Studies have shown that KRAS mutation testing can better define which metastatic colorectal cancer patients will benefit from treatment with EGFR inhibiting monoclonal antibodies, such as panitumumab and cetuximab. Somatic mutations in the KRAS gene may also be indicated as a potential predictive biomarker to make treatment decisions for certain NSCLC therapies.

News: USAF rules out international A-10 sales
Posted by picard578 on July 24, 2015
USAF has decided not to sell the A-10 to its allies.
Why this decision? Because selling the A-10 would run contrary to everything USAF was and is saying. USAF has for years, and against all evidence, maintained that the A-10 is unsurvivable and that fast jets can and will do its job – close air support – just as well if not better. Further, selling the A-10 would reduce – however slightly – prospects for F-35 sales. F-35 is primarily a ground attack aircraft, while A-10 does nothing but ground attack, and thus two are competitors. A-10 can also be easily maintained by countries they get sold to, which means no profits for Lockheed Martin and co. from lucrative maintenance contracts.
As it stands, greed and low selfishness will kill the A-10. USAF has no interest in close air support, and it seems that it will finally manage to get rid of the mission alltogether.

This should not come as a surprise to anyone.
I think there may be one other motivation behind this: fear. If the A-10 proves itself in the hands of other nations, then it would draw scrutiny to the viability of CAS and the wisdom of retiring it.
July 24, 2015 at 11:49 pm
Aye, I was about to say the same thing.
Though part of me doubts if the low and slow philosophy's advantages in finding and ID-ing targets is worth the reduced survivability. The Germans in WWII retired the Ju-87 Stuka in favor of the FW-190F for ground attack due to the Stuka's low speed vulnerability.
July 25, 2015 at 6:05 pm
Oh for sure you'll take more aircraft casualties. But without CAS, you'll take more ground casualties than you will lose in aircraft.
A Fw-190 speed aircraft though is very viable (perhaps faster).
I suppose it is the closest thing there is to a "real multirole" (vs the F-35) aircraft:
– Air cooled radial engine made it good for survivability vs ground fire
– Good transient performance
– Straight wings so it was agile at CAS-speed maneuvers and back in WWII of course, wings were not swept unlike modern aircraft
– Good visibility from the cockpit
Still, there were ground and air attack variants of the Fw–190.
July 25, 2015 at 8:25 pm
Yeah. The A and D versions were air to air, F versions were ground attack. The FW-190 also had a good bit of armor. Here's the FW-190 A-8 Manual.
There are a few pages about its armor.

Also, this is an interesting post.
July 26, 2015 at 3:23 pm
There was that exercise between the Rafale and the F-22 too.
Picard had an article about it:
I noted in the comments that these were air to ground pilots – air to air would be even more favorable for the Rafale likely and it was basically a draw.

Something that always bothered me about the A-10 is that the only gun mounted internally is the GAU-8. Like the early Mk IV tanks, there should be "male" and "female" versions. The female version keeping the GAU-8 with its high rate of fire for destroying light vehicles and infantry, but the male version would carry a larger but slower firing cannon for attacking tanks and busting bunkers.
The Germans did something like this with the Ju-87 Stuka. They had the 37mm BK 37 gunpods for dealing with tanks…
and the WB 81 gunpods with 6x 7.92mm MG 81 for light targets.
I do remember a certain Soviet Tu-2 experimental that took this concept to the extremes…
A Tu-2 with 88(!) PPSh-41's in it's bomb bay.

I've been thinking about flight profiles for A2A missiles, and I've hit upon an idea.
Most (if not all) BVR missiles fly a flight profile which leads the target in order for the missile to fly the most efficient route (I'll call this method 'tracking').
Most WVR missiles (Ex, AIM-9) are programmed to simply point their velocity vector at the target (I'll call this method 'homing').
Tracking seems like the clear-cut better method to use, however, homing has some important advantages.
– The missile only needs to know the direction to the target's position. With tracking, the target's speed and range need to be calculated, which are much more difficult to obtain.
– Homing is simpler, so it will probably be more reliable/cheaper/require less equipment.
– A missile that is tracking will have more difficulty in hitting a target which is maneuvering. A tracking missile needs to account for the target's maneuvers and its own lead, whereas a homing missile only needs to account for the target's maneuvers.
Homing does take a penalty in max range when compared to tracking, but this seems only to be a factor in shots where the target is non maneuvering.
My conclusion is that extreme range A2A missiles for large targets (AWACS killers and such) should still use tracking, but all missiles used against fighters should use tracking.

but all missiles used against fighters should use HOMING.*
Had a bit of a mental lapse there.

Against an agile target, homing seems like the way to go.
Tracking is only going to ever work if you can fire with complete surprise and the target is not aware for the duration of the flight. Either that or the target cannot maneuver well.
Then there's the missile rocket motor itself. Smaller = better against an agile target. As noted before, using stages like a rocket is a good idea.

"Then there's the missile rocket motor itself. Smaller = better against an agile target. As noted before, using stages like a rocket is a good idea."
The problem with stages is two-fold. First, the missile must be large enough and have a high enough fuel fraction so that making separate stages is worthwhile. Second, the addition of a staging system and additional propulsion system would have a negative effect on reliability. To what degree, however, I don't know.
July 29, 2015 at 8:30 pm
Although there may be a risk of a second or first stage failure, I think that the agility of having the final stage as light and as agile as possible will more than make up for it against a maneuvering target.
Much like aircraft, smaller and lighter just means more agile. Less inertia and better transient performance.

Something of a shot in the dark, but I'm going to go on a tangent or two since there isn't much activity going on here at the moment.
First off, what do you think of the Hs-129?
I vaguely remember you saying in some article that it was the stuka's worthy successor that was cut off due to the Luftwaffe's disdain for CAS. While the plane did have a great deal of armor, two air-cooled engines, and a powerful gun, it was lacking in other crucial areas.
First off, the plane had no gunner/observer, not to mention that the pilot was in a cockpit with absolutely terrible visibility. Even flying low and slow, I'd imagine situational awareness would be a major problem.
Second, the plane had engines that were too weak to lift anything other than a gunpod or 250 kg bomb, and it had very bad acceleration/climb flying clean. The Gnome-Rhone 14M was, however, too tiny to extract any more power than the 520 KW it was putting out (19 L, 419 kg, 950mm diameter, 1251mm length). A new engine would probably be around 1200mm in diameter to get 750 KW.
Second tangent, anti tank ammunition for aircraft guns.
The reason the A-10 doesn't use 30mm APDS is due to the fact that the sabots would be at risk of being sucked into the engines, and APCR rounds would sacrifice a great deal of penetration over range that they are fired at. Thus, the only option is solid 30mm ammunition for AT duty. There is, however, another ammunition type which has been long forgotten: Armor Piercing Composite Non Rigid (APCNR). It is an APCR round which is designed to be fired out of a gun with a tapered barrel. The smaller barrel makes the flanges of the APCNR shell flush with the penetrator after it leaves the barrel, drastically cutting down on drag, and thus penetration dropoff while keeping a subcaliber projectile. The big catch is that the tapered barrel puts a hard diameter limit on shells' diameter, meaning HE shells would have much reduced effectiveness.
I suppose something like the littlejohn adaper would be possible which would allow switching between full bore and subcaliber, but it seems like swiching barrels midflight would be difficult. Perhaps a twin barrel rotary cannon, one with a tapered barrel and one full caliber with an ammunition belt mixed 50/50?

HAMPTON -- While it may have been raining outside, it didn't dampen the spirits of those who came out to celebrate the new 25 classroom math and science addition at Winnacunnet High School.
"We waited a long time for this," said SAU 21 Superintendent James Gaylord.
Roughly 100 residents came out Wednesday night for the official ribbon cutting ceremony for the new building.
It is another big step in the completion of a $26 million construction and renovation project that has been going on at the school for last two years.
Winnacunnet School Board Chairman Chris Singleton said this building is even better than the new gym that opened last year.
"When we had the dedication for the gym, that was good," Singleton said. "But the real hallmark of this project is what you are standing in right now."
Singleton said it is no secret that the school needed more classrooms, especially with the 18 modular classrooms that surround the building.
"The biggest cheer of all came from my office staff when the first portable classroom went out last week," Gaylord said.
Thirteen classrooms will be dedicated to science while 12 will make up the math department.
Singleton thanked the voters and the Winnacunnet Outreach Committee, which worked to get the project passed in all four communities.
"I want to recognize everyone who made this project happen," Singleton said. "I also want to recognize the students and staff at Winnacunnet. They had to grin and bear a lot over the last year."
Jerry McConnell, who worked on the outreach committee, said he was happy to see this day finally come.
"This has been worth every minute of time that I have spent on the outreach committee to help get the warrant article passed," McConnell said. "Just seeing this now, it's well worth everything.
After the dedication, students and faculty took residents on a tour of the new building.
The tour also included the new gym and new dining hall.

England's most prolific centurion had luck on his side on day one of the third Investec Test, and appeared set to make it count by taking his career tally to 26 hundreds - 14 months and 28 innings after his 25th.
He answered his many critics with a fine hand at the top of the order, but sadly the century was not to be as Ravindra Jadeja - the man who dropped Cook on 15 - eventually got him caught-behind down the leg-side from a bottom-edged pull 80 runs later.
England nonetheless took control, after winning the toss, to the tune of 247 for two on the back of a second-wicket stand of 158 between Ballance (104no) and Cook.
The England captain and Sam Robson also shared their first half-century opening stand together, at the eighth attempt.
Cook's personal milestone was reward for the "blood, sweat and tears" he cited on the eve of this match was within touching distance after almost five hours at the crease, only for him to fall midway through the evening session, to the 231st ball he faced.
Disappointment was etched on his face, after Marais Erasmus confirmed his dismissal, but an appreciative and empathetic crowd applauded Cook from the ground in recognition he had rediscovered his run-scoring knack after a previous sequence of just 127 in nine Test innings this year.
They had some consolation to cheer soon enough too when the prolific Ballance's third hundred of the summer, in only his sixth Test, duly arrived with a back cut off Mohammed Shami for his 15th four.
Cook, under intense pressure as his team try to arrest a run of seven defeats in nine matches, might easily have gone much more cheaply on a bright but cloudy morning.
He survived when he poked out at a Pankaj Singh delivery from around the wicket and should have become the debutant's maiden Test victim only for Jadeja to put down a straightforward chance at third slip.
Cook often appeared tentative, edging the first ball of the match from Bhuvneshwar Kumar short of second slip and also beaten on the outside edge by Shami before his scare against first-change Pankaj.
He nonetheless went past first Kevin Pietersen and then, after lunch, David Gower to move up to third in England's list of all-time Test runscorers.
Robson was the more convincing opener, with cover-driven fours off Kumar and then Shami, until the latter saw him off with a touch of extra bounce - Jadeja safe this time with the mirror-image chance at third slip.
Cook gradually grew in confidence on the way to his highest score since he made 130 against New Zealand at Headingley early last summer.
On a pitch with pace and carry, England were doubtless relieved there was no threat from Ishant Sharma - the tall seamer who helped to put India 1-0 up at Lord's six days ago but is injured here.
Without him, India needed Kumar and Shami to be at their best - and although the two canny seamers regularly beat the bat, they found precious few edges.
Cook passed his first half-century since the Melbourne Test last Christmas, when he pulled Shami for two soon after lunch, and Ballance established a similar tempo on the way to his fifth score of 50 or more in only 10 Test innings to date.
It seemed both would convert to three figures - and after Cook fell just short, Ballance made no mistake.
Joined by an initially scratchy Ian Bell, with the second new ball taken immediately after it became available, England's new inked-in number three completed his chanceless hundred.
It was an innings faithful to the hallmarks increasingly associated with the reliable left-hander - low risk and with measured acceleration.
In Ballance and thankfully perhaps Cook once again, England have a pillar on which to build the totals they will need to overturn the series deficit they conceded at Lord's.

Great Fund, Greater People...
Fund: Genesis Partners
Posted by Anonymous on 2009-03-22
Genesis is one of the leading VC's in Israel.
I had the pleasure of working with them for a very long period of time and I just enjoyed every minute.
The level of the professional team is outstanding, from the administrative assistants in the lobby to the most senior partner - a real class act which is often missing in the Israeli panorama.
I think all and all the people composition in Genesis is truly remarkable, I have had the chance to talk to most of them and most of them left a very positive impression.
I would like to point out 3 different individuals and address them personally.
Eddy Shalev - An incredible professional, a titan in the VC world, a true gentleman.
Gil Dibner - One of the most inteligent, hard working, honest people I know.
Hadar Kiriati - Savvy in his field, a great guy, honest and true.

Oprah fans can expect big things from "The Oprah Winfrey Show" during its upcoming final season, but hopefully not too many tears.
As the show comes to an end next spring (after 25 years of daytime domination), the venerable host says fans won't need to reach for the Kleenex box quite yet.
"I don't intend to be crying the whole season," Oprah told TV Guide, in a new interview about the upcoming season. "It will be bittersweet…It's been my life. I didn't have children – I had the show."

There are nearly 5,000 hours of footage from the show's 25-year run, all of which is being reviewed by staff for favorite moments, according to the mag.
In what promises to be a powerful moment, Oprah revealed plans to revisit Forsyth County, GA – a region she visited in 1987 during a racism-themed show – for a look at how the world has changed for the better.

"There were no black people allowed and a guy was using the N-word with me," she said of her past visit. "I'm going to do a tour of the new Forsyth County with him."
As for the secret to her immeasurable success, the media maven said her power comes from "authenticity."
"The reason people fail is because they're pretending to be something they're not," she said. "If you can find what the passion is and figure out a way to express that in an authentic and entertaining way, you have a chance at success."

A couple of things to know about this section of the forum :
1/As always, and this is extremely important, all people who contribute these scripts must be credited for their work. If you use these scripts or pass them on to other people, make sure the right credit is given
2/Let's not clog this part of the forum with too much discussion around the scripts. This part should mostly be a place to post the scripts, and eventually specific questions about it. All other discussions should go to the script discussion section
3/As in the expression forum, it is good practice to clearly explain what the script does, how to use it, in what cases it can be used.
4/Some scripts can be very long. Instead of clogging up your browser window, I put a link to an archived version of the script on my ftp server. If you post a long script, please do the same. If you do not have a server you can use, or if you don't know how this works, email me the file and I will upload it for you.
5/If the script is actually in the body of the post, just copy it, paste it into a text document, and save it with a .jsx extension.
Then all you have to do is place the saved script into the "Scripts" folder inside your AE folder, run AE, go to File>Run Script

Dierks Bentley has been known to get sideways, but for his Locked & Reloaded tour, he's going full speed ahead with one of his favorite musicians, Miranda Lambert .
In this interview with CMT Hot 20 Countdown at a Nashville rehearsal, Bentley talks about preparing for the big show, grabbing his fans' attention and staying up late … or maybe not.
CMT: You and Miranda are joining forces for the second time. How did this come to be?
Bentley: Miranda and I both like having a good time. I saw her out at the ACM in Vegas, and there's a bar there everyone kind of hangs out in at Mandalay Bay. She just walked up to me and says, "We gotta do another tour again." We'd been on a tour in 2006 called Locked & Loaded, and she's like, "Let's redo it and call it 'Locked & Reloaded.'"
It's something I've always wanted to do. I'm easy, she's easy, our bands get along great, and I've been her biggest champion from day one. I've always loved her music, loved her spirit. I took her on the road when she was just starting off and didn't have a lot of radio success because I just knew she was awesome and she's cool. And it's tough being a girl out there in the world. I really respect what she's been able to accomplish and how hard she's fought for it and how down to earth and cool she stays.
So it was a no-brainer and just been fun planning the tour. I think musically it really works out well, and I think fanwise, it's going to be a great show.
When you're on the road with someone you respect musically and as a person, does that make you feel the need to push yourself to up the game?
Yeah, when I'm headlining shows, I want the opener to go out there and try to kick my ass — because that's great for the show. I want them to have access to all our lights and staging. I want them to go out there, and the more they can fire that crowd up, the better it's going to be.
For us on this tour, I want to go out there and just rock the place as hard as we possibly can and do some elements they aren't expecting. Make our part of the show as awesome as it can be, so when Miranda comes out there, the crowd's rocking. …
She and I were talking yesterday about how lucky we are to do this, how grateful we are to do this, how all these people come out every night and spend their money to come. This might be the one concert they go to all year long. … It's like we have to make this the best tour these folks see. Country music's hot right now. There are so many great bands going out. There are so many great tours out there. We definitely want to go out there and crush it. So that's my job and that's her job and Lee Brice and Randy Houser . It's gonna be great.
What were you hoping to smooth out today during rehearsal?
I've been doing this a long time and playing a lot of music, but this is our first time with the new set. It's like having a new jungle gym as a kid. … And certainly adding a video element to the show is really cool because I've never, ever had live video, ever. So this is awesome, and it really helps tell the story of some songs — and the transitions between songs made things flow. I want to grab every fan by the throat. I want their attention the entire time, and I think that's what we've worked on. We've really worked on making this show our best show yet.
Do you tip a few back after a show? I'm pretty sure Miranda does. Who holds their liquor better? Can she drink you under the table?
Miranda and I, we go back. We've had some tours way back in the day, and Jagermeister used to be very prevalent on those tours. … It was crazy back then. Randy Rogers Band was out there with us. Cross Canadian Ragweed . It was wild, fun times. But I think I'll see what happens. I don't know. It's a long night for me. My meet-and-greet starts about 7. The show starts at 8. I get done around 9. Go back out there to do some stuff with Miranda. By the time the show's done, it's 11:30. I mean, yikes! We'll see what happens. That last song with Miranda onstage might be a little rough. We'll see.

There is absolutely no doubt that Nokia is light years ahead of other OEMs when it comes to providing stellar camera performance in mobile phones. The Nokia N8's performance is still unrivalled by any smartphone in the market, and no handset comes even close to the Pure View 808.
One of the main masterminds behind all these stellar camera phones from Nokia is Damian Dinning. Damian started working at Nokia in 2004 and has been the Finnish giant's lead program manager for Imaging Experience. Sadly, Damian has decided to leave Nokia on November 30th, and will be joining Jaguar Land Rover group.
The official statement from Nokia UK regarding this matter -:
Following the relocation of key strategic roles to Finland, and with great reluctance, Damian Dinning has made a personal decision to leave the company effective 30 November 2012. During the past nine years, [Damian] has made many innovative and valuable contributions to Nokia, most recently as a lead program manager in our Smart Devices business. We thank him for his service to the company and certainly wish him the best.
Damian has, however, revealed as to why he will be leaving Nokia and joining Land Rover instead in response to the PureView club -:
As reported in Nokia's own statement regarding my forthcoming departure, a number of key strategic roles have moved to Finland. My family and I are based in the UK at a stage in our lives where relocation is unfortunately not an option. I have therefore made the tremendously difficult decision after nearly 9 years with Nokia to leave the company.
Do head over to PureView Club and read Damian's full response and why he is joining Land Rover.
