This page highlights many of the academic policies that affect students' eligibility to enroll in classes. For more information, see University Catalog – Policies.
Enrollment Requirements
Academic Standing, Probation and Disqualification
Academic Standing
Academic standing determines a student's eligibility to enroll in the University through the regular enrollment process. Students can be in good academic standing, on probation, or in disqualified status.
Academic standing is defined by the student's Grade Point Average (GPA). GPA is calculated by dividing the number of grade points earned in courses that assign letter grades (A-F, IC and WU) by the number of units attempted (courses in which grades of CR, NC, I, RP, and W are assigned are not used in GPA calculation). Cumulative Total GPA includes course work transferred from other institutions as well as course work taken at CSUN. The CSUN GPA only includes course work taken at CSUN.
Enrollment Eligibility:
Students in good academic standing are eligible to enroll in the University when they maintain the following minimum GPA in both CSUN course work and cumulative total GPA for their class level:
|Class Level
Undergraduate and second bachelor's students
Post-baccalaureate students
Credential students
Joint master/credential students*
Graduate students in master's degree programs
*If you are enrolled as both a master and credential student and your GPA falls below 3.0, you may continue in the credential program provided that you maintain a 2.75 GPA.
Students on probation are eligible to enroll in CSUN classes through the regular enrollment process with restrictions. Students who are disqualified or under disciplinary suspension are not considered in good standing and therefore are not routinely eligible to enroll. They may enroll in CSUN courses only through Open University in CSUN's Tseng College.
Academic Probation and Disqualification
Undergraduate Students
Academic Probation: Undergraduate students are placed on probation if either their cumulative total GPA or CSUN GPA falls below 2.00 at the conclusion of any term. Students remain on probation until they either regain good standing or they are placed on disqualified status.
If you are working toward a second bachelor's degree, there is no probationary period. Please see Second Baccalaureate Disqualification below.
Enrollment Restrictions:
Students on probation are eligible to enroll in CSUN classes through the regular enrollment process with these restrictions.
- All students on probation receive a registration hold and can only register for classes after they have received advisement from the SSC/EOP Satellite in the College of their major or, for undecided students, the Advising Resource Center/EOP.
- Students on probation can enroll in a maximum of 13 units per semester or summer term. For more information, see "Maximum Unit Load" on this page.
Disqualified Status:
Undergraduate students who were on probation the previous semester are placed on disqualified status if, at the end of the next semester, either their cumulative total GPA or CSUN GPA falls below the GPA listed for each class level below:
|Class Level*
Freshman (1 – 29 units earned)
Sophomore (30 – 59 units earned)
Junior (60 – 89 units earned)
Senior (90 + units earned)
Any student whose cumulative GPA falls below 1.00 will be disqualified immediately without first being placed on probation. This policy will not apply to first-time freshmen whose cumulative GPA falls below 1.0 in their first semester only. Thereafter, students are subject to this policy.
Students in disqualified status are not eligible to enroll in the University through the regular enrollment process. They can enroll in CSUN courses only through Open University in the Tseng College. Only a total of 24 units of course credit taken through the Tseng College in any term, session or semester can be counted toward a CSUN undergraduate degree.
Before students in disqualified status can be readmitted to the University under an "Academic Performance Agreement" (APA), they must demonstrate acquired skills or achievements that support a successful return to the University. Such evidence may include successful completion of courses in the student's degree program at another institution or through the Tseng College with grades that demonstrate the student can achieve good standing in a reasonable time frame if readmitted to CSUN. Students are strongly urged to meet with their CSUN academic advisor to discuss the requirements that must be completed in order to be readmitted. When all requirements have been met, students may apply to the University for readmission.
For more information, see the University Catalog policies on Academic Standing and Categories of Disqualification.
Readmission of Previously Disqualified Undergraduate Students:
Students in disqualified status seeking readmission to CSUN must submit:
- A formal application for readmission through Cal State Apply,
- Official transcripts of course(s) completed at another college or university during the period in which the student has been in disqualified status, and
- A Previously Disqualified Student Questionnaire (.pdf) to be filed no later than the deadline published on the form.
These documents must be filed in the Office of Admissions and Records by the published deadline before campus review can begin. For application deadlines, see the Admissions Calendar.
Readmitted under Academic Performance Agreement (APA):
Students who have been academically disqualified, but who are readmitted to the University under terms of a special type of probation, are classified as "Readmitted under Academic Performance Agreement (APA)." Students readmitted under an APA have the following restrictions on their regular enrollment process:
- All students readmitted under an APA receive a registration hold and can only register for classes after they have received advisement from the SSC/EOP Satellite in the College of their major or, for undecided students, the Advising Resource Center/EOP.
- Students readmitted under an APA can enroll in a maximum of 13 units per semester or summer term. For more information, see "Maximum Unit Load" on this page.
Students in this status, whether they have one or two disqualifications, must fulfill all of the following requirements until they reach good standing:
- earn a minimum 2.0 semester GPA;
- enroll in classes each semester; and
- have in place a signed APA that details the academic progress they must achieve to move toward completion of the bachelor's degree within a designated time period.
Students who are readmitted under Academic Performance Agreement but who fail to maintain continuous enrollment in classes each fall and spring semester, or who fail to achieve a 2.0 semester GPA, will return to disqualified status. They must then reapply and be readmitted to the University as a previously disqualified student in order to be eligible to enroll in classes through the regular enrollment process.
Academic disqualification is a permanent notation in a student's academic record and has serious consequences that can impact attainment of a baccalaureate degree. The consequences of academic disqualification depend on whether it is the first, second or third disqualification that the student receives. Read more in the University Catalog at Categories of Disqualification and Academic Reinstatement to the University after Third Disqualification.
Second Baccalaureate Disqualification
Second baccalaureate students will be placed in disqualified status if either their cumulative total GPA or CSUN GPA falls below 2.0. There is no probation before disqualification.
First Disqualification: Students who are pursuing a second bachelor's degree and who receive a first disqualification will not be eligible to enroll at CSUN through the regular enrollment process for at least one semester. They will need to apply for readmission as a previously disqualified student by posted deadlines. Disqualified second baccalaureate students can enroll in Open University through CSUN's Tseng College for up to nine (9) units in all terms, sessions and semesters, or can take transferable courses at other institutions. In order to gain readmission, students will be expected to demonstrate ability to succeed in university-level classes in the second baccalaureate field. For admission deadlines, see the Admission Calendar.
Second Disqualification: Second baccalaureate students who receive a second disqualification are not eligible to seek readmission to the University for a minimum of 5 years after the final day of the semester during which they received the second disqualification. Second baccalaureate students who have been disqualified two times may not retake classes or finish an Incomplete contract for the purpose of raising grades to avoid a second disqualification.
Read more about reinstatement to the University in the full policy at Second Baccalaureate Disqualification (.pdf).
Credential and Graduate Students
Credential students must maintain a 2.75 GPA. Graduate students admitted conditionally or classified into a degree program must maintain a 3.0 GPA. Students are placed on probation at the end of any semester in which their GPA falls below the respective maintenance level. Students on probationary status who do not raise their GPA to their maintenance level in the next semester of enrollment will be disqualified from further attendance at the University.
Once disqualified, the student must formally petition to be reinstated as a graduate student. If the GPA is below the minimum of 2.5, the student will not be allowed to enroll except under special circumstances requiring the approval of the Associate Vice President of Graduate Studies. Additional information regarding the reinstatement process is available from the Graduate Studies Office, University Hall 275.
Students who are disqualified and who do not attend the semester immediately following their disqualification must apply for readmission to the University. Learn more in the Graduate Student Handbook and at Probation and Disqualification (Graduate Program Policy), University Catalog.
Attendance Policy
Students are expected to attend all class meetings. Students who are absent from the first meeting of a class that meets only once a week, or who miss the first two meetings of a course that meets more than once a week, lose the right to remain on the class roll and must formally withdraw from the class by following current university procedures and deadlines. Otherwise, the instructor will assign a grade of "WU" (Unauthorized Withdrawal), which counts as an "F" in computing GPA.
In a compressed term or session of fewer than 15 weeks, the rule applies if the first class meeting is missed. An instructor may allow a student to continue in the class if the student notified the instructor that the absence would be temporary. If no instructor was assigned to the course in advance, students must notify the department chair that their absence from the class will be temporary.
Also see "Withdrawals" on this page.
Course Requisites
Course requisites are the requirements that students need to satisfy when enrolling in a particular class section. A course requisite often requires students to enroll in another related class, but a requisite can also be a "condition" such as attaining a certain class level, a specific exam score, a specified passing grade, etc.
Requisites are stated in the course descriptions of the University Catalog. To view requisites in Class Search, look up the class section and select the "Detail" link. Any requisites will display under "Course Information" and "Notes."
Four common course requisites are explained below:
- A prerequisite must be completed or met before enrolling in a course. CSUN courses in which students are currently enrolled (i.e., work in progress) at the time of registration will satisfy prerequisite requirements. Transfer work in progress at another institution will NOT satisfy prerequisite requirements.
- A co-requisite requires concurrent enrollment in another associated course (usually a lecture or graded lab). The registration system will prompt you to add all co-requisite courses before finishing your enrollment request. Be sure to check "Class Notes" to see if concurrent enrollment in a specific class section number is required. For registration steps, see the guide Add Classes.
- A multiple component course is a graded lecture class that has a required, non-graded, zero-unit lab or discussion (usually applies only to selected Chemistry classes). No matter which component you enroll in first, SOLAR will prompt you to add the corresponding lecture, lab and/or discussion classes also.
- A preparatory course or condition is recommended to be completed or met prior to enrollment in another course. The registration system will not block enrollment if the preparatory course/condition is not met. Consult with the academic department for more information.
If, after reviewing the resources above, you experience difficulty enrolling in a course with requisites, contact your academic advisor or the Office of Admissions and Records.
Credit/No-Credit Grading Policy
Undergraduate students who are not on probation may elect the Credit/No-Credit (CR/NC) option for one or more courses each term, up to a maximum of 18 units applicable to the bachelor's degree. If 18 or more semester CR graded units are accepted on transfer from other institutions, no additional CR graded CSUN courses may be used to satisfy degree requirements.
The CR or NC grade will not be considered in the computation of the student's grade point average. Students may not change from the CR/NC basis to the graded (or conversely from graded to CR/NC) option after the third week of classes.
Limitations: Courses taken on a CR/NC basis cannot be used to satisfy ANY of the following degree requirements:
- General Education and Title 5 requirements.
- The Major, except those courses offered on a CR/NC basis only. (Additional courses in the discipline of the major beyond those used to satisfy major requirements may not be taken for CR/NC.)
- The Minor, except those courses offered on a CR/NC basis only, subject to departmental approval.
Undergraduate students who plan to transfer to another institution or to enter a graduate or professional school should check with that institution for information concerning acceptance of credit for CR graded courses. As a general rule, graduate and professional schools are likely to consider a grade of Credit as equivalent to a grade of "C" and a grade of No Credit as a "Fail."
Learn more in the University Catalog at Credit/No Credit Grading.
Enrollment Discrepancies
Students are responsible for ensuring that their own academic programs (i.e., class schedules) are accurate. You are urged to act immediately to correct any enrollment discrepancies. Bring any discrepancies in person to the Office of Admissions and Records for correction.
Failure to correct an academic program discrepancy or to drop a class officially may result in a grade of "WU" (Withdrawal Unauthorized) in courses never attended.
Learn more at:
- Late Add-Drop Classes
- "Withdrawals" on this page
Excessive Enrollment
If an undergraduate student repeats enrollment in a course beyond its published maximum "for-credit" limitations (see University Catalog course descriptions), units earned will not be counted toward the baccalaureate degree. The units attempted and any grade points, however, will be averaged with the student's other grades.
Examples include performance-based Music courses and adapted exercise Kinesiology courses. Check with an advisor before re-enrolling in the course. On the third or subsequent enrollment in a course, it is necessary to obtain permission of the associate dean of the college in which the course is offered.
Full- and Half-Time Enrollment
Full-time enrollment is a minimum of:
- 15 units for undergraduate students (12 units for financial aid* and certain external legal requirements)
- 8 units for graduate students
Half-time enrollment is a minimum of:
- 6 units for undergraduate students
- 4 units for graduate students working toward a master's degree
Post-baccalaureate students working on a teaching credential or second bachelor's degree who have federal loans must be enrolled in at least 6.1 units to be eligible for in-school deferments.
*For details, please visit Financial Aid Enrollment Requirements.
Leave of Absence (Academic Leave)
Eligibility for Leave
To encourage students with satisfactory academic performance to return to CSUN following an absence, the University will automatically place qualified resident and nonresident students on a leave of absence if they:
- were matriculated students in the semester immediately prior to the beginning of their leave of absence;
- were in good standing (i.e., are not academically disqualified or do not have special enrollment conditions at the close of the semester); and
- did not receive an undergraduate degree at the end of the immediately preceding regular semester or summer term at CSUN.
Eligible students who do not enroll in classes or who formally withdraw from all their classes within the first 20 days of instruction are automatically placed on leave for that semester. If they do not register in the following semester, they are granted one additional semester of leave. Students will receive registration information online for three semesters of non-attendance, provided they meet the criteria above. New and returning students in their first semester are not placed on academic leave in this situation (see below).
Permission for Leave of Absence
- International Students: Foreign students with J or F visas who meet the criteria above are eligible for leave, but they must request the prior approval of their international student advisor in the International and Exchange Student Center (IESC) and apply for a leave of absence.
- Undergraduate Students: No formal approval is required, but you are strongly encouraged to contact your academic advisor.
- Graduate Students: Though no formal approval is required, you are encouraged to seek academic advisement from your graduate coordinator.
When Leave Expires, Reapply for Admission!
- Continuing students who are placed on leave but do not enroll in the third semester (i.e., after the two semesters of leave) will need to reapply for admission to the University, including appropriate fees.
- New and returning students who do not enroll or who formally withdraw on or before the 20th day of instruction in their first semester are not placed on academic leave and must file a new application with appropriate fees.
- Graduate students who miss two or more semesters must meet all University and department requirements in effect at the time they reapply and can expect to have their academic program reviewed and modified if necessary.
Students must apply for readmission to the University during the next available application filing period.
Maximum Unit Load
Please note: The unit limits below are subject to change.
Enrolled Unit Load:
The maximum academic load of enrolled units for students in good academic standing is:
- Fall or spring semester: 17 units as soon as registration begins
- Summer term: 13 units for all sessions combined
Wait List Unit Load:
- You can wait list for 13 units maximum as soon as fall and spring registration begins.
Unit-Limit Exceptions:
- Graduating seniors may enroll in a maximum of 19 units during all registration periods. You are a graduating senior if you have applied for a graduation date in the semester in which you are enrolling, and you will complete all remaining degree requirements by the end of the semester.
- Students enrolled in certain cohort programs may be exempt from these unit limit restrictions.
- Students on academic probation may only enroll in 13 units. Undergraduate students readmitted under Academic Performance Agreement may only enroll in 13 units.
Extra Unit Authorization
Approval of extra units for students not listed among the exceptions above is strictly limited, so choose units wisely by consulting your academic advisor and using the degree planning tools.
Students needing to exceed the maximum unit load may:
1. Complete the "Extra Unit Authorization" form for your student group:
- Extra Unit Authorization for Undergraduate & Second Bacherlor's Students (Web form)
- "Extra Unit Authorization for Graduate and Credential Students," available at Graduate Studies Forms
2. Follow the instructions on the form to request approvals.
3. Submit your form no later than the third Friday of classes (the end of Late Registration) in the fall and spring semesters (office closes Fridays at 4:00 pm), or the second Friday of a summer session.
Extra Unit Authorization forms will be processed in Admissions and Records when Nonrestrictive Registration begins. For dates, see the Registration Calendar.
Missed Classes
When representing the University in official curriculum-related, university-approved activities requires a student to miss classes, faculty are expected to provide, within reason, opportunity to make up any work or exams that are missed.
To be eligible for such accommodation, the student is obligated to provide the instructor of the class with written documentation signed by the faculty, staff member or administrator supervising the activity, giving specific information concerning the activity, its location, and the dates and times when class attendance is not possible. This documentation must be submitted to the instructor during the first week of the semester or as soon as the information becomes known. Instructors may set limits on the number of classes that may be missed for which special accommodation to make up missed work will be allowed. The process for making up missed class work is the prerogative of the instructor and shall be communicated to the affected students during the first week of classes or as soon as the need for accommodation becomes known.
For the purposes of this policy, if a question arises as to which events meet the definition of "official, curriculum-related, university-approved activities," the determination shall be made by the Associate Vice President for Undergraduate Studies.
Absence from class for official curriculum-related, university-approved activities does not relieve students from responsibility for any part of the course work required during the period of absence.
University sponsors of these activities have an obligation to respect the importance of regular class attendance for successful academic performance and to minimize the number of such absences. Instructional faculty have an obligation to respect the importance of such student participation, and to assist student participants in meeting their academic obligations.
Repeating Courses
Students enrolling in a course for the first time receive priority over students wishing to repeat a course. Students may enroll in a repeated course on a space-available basis starting several weeks before fall or spring classes begin.
- For enrollment dates, visit the Registration Calendar.
- Beginning with the second week of fall or spring classes, permission numbers are required to add all classes.
- For Late Registration dates and policies, visit Late Add-Drop Classes.
Repeat policies and unit limits differ for undergraduate and graduate students.
Undergraduate Students
A maximum of 16 semester units of CSUN course work in which an undergraduate student earned less than a C grade may be repeated for the purpose of excluding grades (or grade forgiveness) from the computation of a student's overall GPA. Only the first 16 semester units repeated are eligible for grade forgiveness. All subsequent repeats will be averaged into the student's total GPA.
After the first 16 units of repeated course work, an additional 12 semester units may be repeated for grade averaging, but not grade forgiveness. Both the original and the repeated grades shall be calculated into the student's total GPA.
Any course taken at CSUN must be re-taken at CSUN to replace (or forgive) the previous C-, D, F, IC or WU grade within the 16-unit maximum. Any course repeated at another college will be averaged into your cumulative GPA; your previous grade will not be forgiven.
Enrolling in an individual course for the third time is generally not permitted. For exceptions, consult your academic advisor and complete the Third Repeat Approval Request Web Form.
- Contact your academic advisor.
- Read the University Catalog undergraduate policy on Repeating Courses.
- Learn how to check your repeated courses and units with the guide View Withdrawals/Repeats - Undergraduate Students.
Graduate Students
Students pursuing a graduate degree must maintain a minimum 3.0 (B) average in the formal program and the cumulative grade point average. No grade below a C can be counted in the formal program. Any grade of C- or below in the formal program must be repeated after an approved course repeat form has been filed. If the student does not receive a C or better on the second attempt, the student will be disqualified from the program. A maximum of 6 units in the formal program may be repeated at the graduate level. The repeat grade will appear on the transcript. Departments may have higher standards that take precedence over the university policy.
The "Course Repeat Form for Graduate Students" is available in the Graduate Studies Office, University Hall 275, (818) 677-2138. Also see the University Catalog graduate policy Repeat of Courses.
Time Conflicts (Simultaneous Enrollment)
Students are not permitted to enroll simultaneously in any two or more classes whose scheduled times overlap even by one minute. Students are advised to enroll in an alternate section of the class that does not conflict with the rest of their schedule. Please note that permission numbers do not override time conflicts.
Exceptions to this policy will be permitted only if one of the classes does not meet on a regular basis, such as an independent study, internship or lab class that permits independent lab work. Students who meet the acceptable criteria must file a completed Time Conflict Enrollment Petition (.pdf) to Admissions and Records no later than 4 pm on Friday of the fourth week of fall or spring classes.
Note these requirements:
- Petitions will not be considered after the deadline.
- No petition will be accepted without the signatures of the instructor and department chair for each class.
- An approved "Extra Unit Authorization" form must accompany the Time Conflict Enrollment Petition (.pdf) if enrollment in the class will result in more than the maximum number of units allowed for the term or semester. Please see "Maximum Unit Load" on this page.
Withdrawals, Administrative and Student Initiated
* * * Spring 2020 Update * * *
- Student course withdrawals earned during the Spring 2020 semester shall not count against the maximum of 18 units. This policy does not apply to Administrative Withdrawals (see below).
- Students may subsequently repeat a course with a CR grade earned in Spring 2020 for a letter grade later.
- Units earned for a repeated course in Spring 2020 shall be excluded from the 16-unit maximum for grade forgiveness.
- Campuses may allow students to repeat a course taken in Spring 2020 even if the student has already attempted the course twice.
Administrative Withdrawals
Although it is the student's responsibility to drop classes, the University may withdraw a student from a course within the first three weeks of instruction if the student fails to meet the prerequisite(s) or other requirements as indicated in the Course Catalog.
These prerequisites may include:
- Completion of prior course work
- Passing qualifying examinations
- Class year standing
- Admission to or special requirements of special programs, such as Honors or Credential
- Completion of prior course work with a required minimum credit
- Consent of instructor
Such an administrative withdrawal may be initiated only by the Associate Dean of the College, upon recommendation from the instructor or department chair.
Withdrawals – Student Initiated
As a student, you are responsible for all adjustments to your schedule at all times.
Please note:
- The student—not the instructor—is responsible for dropping classes.
- Nonattendance does not constitute a withdrawal, nor does stopping payment on a check for tuition and other fees constitute a request for a refund.
Failure to follow formal withdrawal procedures may result in an obligation to pay tuition and other fees, the assignment of failing grades in all courses, and the need to reapply for admission to the University for the next academic term.
How and When to Withdraw
No approvals are necessary to drop classes online through myNorthridge from the start of registration through the close of Late Registration. Learn how at Drop or Swap Classes. Formal approval is required beginning with the fourth week of the fall and spring semesters. Read more at Late Add-Drop Classes.
Withdrawal Limits
Undergraduate students may withdraw from no more than 18 units of CSUN courses. The 18-unit limit does not apply to the first 20 days of each semester when withdrawals from courses are permitted without restriction or penalty. Review the University Catalog withdrawal policies for undergraduates and graduate students. To check the number of units you've withdrawn from, see the guide View Withdrawals/Repeats - Undergraduate Students.
Medical Withdrawals
Whether partial or complete, medical withdrawals do not count toward the maximum 18 units.
Consequences of Withdrawing
Reducing the number of enrolled units may affect your eligibility for Campus Housing, International Student status, Financial Aid and more. A Financial Aid student who reduces the number of units or who completely withdraws (including medical withdrawal) from a period of enrollment may be subject to REPAYMENT. Before withdrawing, review Academic Program Changes and consult the appropriate offices for assistance.
Financial aid and scholarship recipients should review What Affects My Aid – Withdrawal Policy.

Above the Niagara River
-- Here over the river -- with half of our train over American waters, half over Canadian waters -- is as good a place as any to consider one little-told border story.
The Canadian side here -- like much of Canada's economy -- is booming. High gas prices are actually good news for many in Canada, an oil-exporting nation where the dollar is strong and jobs are growing.
The American side, on the other hand, is struggling. The unemployment rate in the Niagara Falls-Buffalo region is a full point higher than it is nationally, and the decline of the manufacturing sector shows little sign of a turnaround.
Lots of empty factories and overfilled car lots in the region. The biggest sign of life in downtown Niagara Falls, N.Y.: the Seneca Niagara Hotel & Casino.

Household silver doesn't go out of style. Centuries pass and it never loses its elegance. And if silver is spread throughout the room, the entire décor is filled with reflections and glimmerings. You allow yourself to be taken away by a wave of ease and comfort.
There was a time when castles around the world contained silver furniture. The furniture would be melted when cash was short. Silver in a residence was an undeniable sign of richness. And that hasn't changed.
You usually find the classic pieces of silver in your dining room: utensils, napkin rings, mustard pot, sugar bowl, salt and pepper shakers, cheese plate, spice box, casserole dish, and creamer.
However, many accessories can be scattered around all rooms to create a river of silver: candy dish, jewellery box, tea box, fruit basket, candleholder, lamp, flowerpot, coffeepot, knickknack, blotter, inkwell, small storage case, flower stand, cookie jar, sugar bowl, water jug, wine jar, beer stein, shaker, dessert plate, dinner service, phials and flasks, chandeliers and shades.[……]

What is a Chiari malformation?
A Chiari malformation is a problem in which a part of the brain at the rear of the skull bulges through a normal opening (foramen magnum) in the skull where it joins the spinal canal. This puts pressure on parts of the brain and spinal cord, and can cause mild to severe symptoms. In most cases, the problem is present at birth (congenital).
There are several types of Chiari malformations, but type I (CM-I) is the most common type. In type I, part of the cerebellum bulges through the foramen magnum. This type is most often congenital (also called primary CM-I), but is often not found until a child is a teen or young adult. In rare cases, this type may also develop later in life. This is known as acquired or secondary CM-I.
What causes a Chiari malformation type I?
The exact cause of a congenital Chiari malformation type I is not known. A problem during fetal growth may cause the defect. It may be caused by contact with harmful substances during pregnancy. Or it may be linked with genetic problems that run in families.
An acquired Chiari malformation type I happens to a person after birth. It is caused by excess leaking of spinal fluid from the lower back (lumbar) or chest (thoracic) areas of the spine. This can happen because of an injury, contact with harmful substances, or an infection.
What are the symptoms of a Chiari malformation type I?
Your child may not have any symptoms. Or symptoms may develop slowly over time. Most children don't have symptoms until they are teens or young adults.
The most common symptoms are headaches or pain in the back of the head or neck. The headaches and pain are made worse by coughing, laughing, or sneezing.
Your child may also have other symptoms of a Chiari malformation type I, such as:
Hoarseness or trouble speaking
Trouble swallowing
Rapid, back and forth eye movements (nystagmus)
Periods of not breathing during sleep (sleep apnea)
Weakness or abnormal movements
Trouble with balance
Abnormal reflexes
Abnormal shape of the spine (scoliosis)
Your child may also have a pocket of fluid in the spinal cord or brain stem. This is called a syrinx. A syrinx can cause trouble walking or pain in the arms or legs.
How is a Chiari malformation type I diagnosed?
In a child with no symptoms, the defect may be found when imaging tests are done for other reasons. For a child with symptoms, the health care provider will ask about your child's medical history and give your child a physical exam. He or she may refer your child to a specialist.
Imaging tests are done to detect a Chiari malformation type I. Your child may have 1 or more of these tests:
MRI. This test is the one most often used to diagnose Chiari malformations. It uses large magnets and a computer to make detailed pictures of the inside of the body.
CT scan. This test uses a series of X-rays and a computer to create detailed pictures of the inside of the body. A CT scan is more detailed than a regular X-ray.
How is a Chiari malformation type I treated?
Your child may be treated by neurologists and neurosurgeons. These are experts in brain and spinal cord problems. Treatment will depend on your child's symptoms, age, and general health. It will also depend on how severe the condition is.
With no symptoms. Your child's health may be watched closely. This may include frequent physical exams and MRI tests.
With symptoms. Your child's health care provider may prescribe medicines to reduce pain. Or he or she may advise decompression surgery. This is done to relieve pressure on the brain, or to restore the flow of spinal fluid.
With few or no symptoms, but a syrinx. Your child's health care provider may suggest close monitoring of the defect with a special type of MRI called cine phase contrast. This helps look for blocked spinal fluid flow. Your child may need surgery, based on the MRI results or if symptoms get worse.
With signs of sleep apnea. Your child may need a sleep study. In this test, your child will be monitored during sleep to look for problems. A sleep study can also help the health care provider decide on additional treatment.
What are the complications of a Chiari malformation type I?
Complications of a Chiari malformation type I can include:
Long-term pain
Development of syrinx
Permanent damage to muscles or nerves
Carefully watching for changes in your child's health can help prevent complications. This helps to make sure that treatment is done early.
How is a Chiari malformation type I managed?
It is hard for health care providers to predict how a Chiari malformation type I will affect a child's long-term health. Your child may not have any changes caused by the defect. Or he or she may have worsening neurological problems. Your child's health will be closely watched. This will include with frequent physical exams and imaging tests such as MRI. There is ongoing research as to how to best manage Chiari malformations.
When should I call my child's health care provider?
Call your child's health care provider if you notice any changes in your child. Be sure to call if you notice problems with:
Walking or moving
Key points about Chiari malformation type I
With a Chiari malformation, the lower part of the brain dips down through a normal opening at the bottom of the skull. In some cases, more brain tissue also dips down through this opening.
In most cases, the problem is present at birth (congenital).
There are several types of Chiari malformations. Type I is the most common type.
Your child may not have symptoms. If symptoms occur, the most common ones are headaches or pain in the back of the head or neck. The headaches and pain are made worse by coughing, laughing, or sneezing.
Your child may also have a pocket of fluid in the spinal cord or brain stem. This is called a syrinx.
Imaging tests are done to detect a Chiari malformation type I. Your child may have an MRI or a CT scan.

Harang's gem overshadowed by A's walk-off homer
Mariners right-hander holds Oakland to one run in seven innings
OAKLAND -- The Mariners weren't without run-scoring opportunities in Monday night's series opener against the A's at the Coliseum, which ended with a Brandon Moss home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to give Oakland a 2-1 walk-off win.
All five of Seattle's hits were of the leadoff variety, yet the offense managed just one run.
A's starter Jarrod Parker even committed what seemed to be a costly error -- a misfired throw to first base on Dustin Ackley's sacrifice bunt that resulted in runners at the corners with no outs and the game tied, 1-1, in the eighth inning.
But Parker battled back, striking out Humberto Quintero swinging, forcing a pop up to Brad Miller in foul territory and striking out Nick Franklin, who promptly reacted by throwing away his equipment in disgust.
Oakland capitalized with Moss' second career walk-off home run of the season, belting a 2-and-1, 96-mph fastball delivered by Carter Capps.
"I've watched it about four for five times already and I felt like I executed the pitch pretty good," Capps said. "I was trying to throw a strike low and away, and I did. He just got through it."
"I was very surprised that went out, because this place this year, at night, I know we've hit balls well at night that just don't go like they did last year," Moss said. "I was very happy when that ball went over the fence, because when I hit it, I was worried, not gonna lie."
The home run spoiled Aaron Harang's best outing in a month, as Parker bested him with his first career complete game on just 100 pitches.
Harang gave up five hits and a walk with three strikeouts in seven innings. His lone run allowed was the result of an RBI groundout by Josh Donaldson with runners at the corners in the fourth.
The Mariner's right-hander credited his strong outing to an ability to mix in his curveball and changeup effectively, an encouraging carryover from his last outing against Tampa Bay that ended a stretch of poor starts.
"When you can throw it for strikes and also throw it for a put-away pitch, it makes them have something else to worry about," Harang said. "When you can throw a couple different pitches around the zone and get strikes, and also throw chase pitches, it makes it a lot harder for them to start guessing and just sit on one pitch.
Seattle's run came in the seventh when Kendrys Morales singled in Franklin, but it wasn't enough. The Mariners might have scored more if Morales hadn't been thrown out at third by A's right fielder Josh Reddick to end the inning.
Morales appeared to prematurely slow down short of the bag to leave just a wide enough opening for Reddick -- last year's Gold Glove Award winner -- to fire a strike that nailed Morales for the third out of the inning.
"I think he was assuming that Reddick was going to go to second base, and that's one guy you don't really want to challenge, especially if you're kind of a below-average runner, he's going to try and get you," Mariners active manager Robby Thompson said.
"I didn't know he'd have a chance to throw to third," Morales said through an interpreter. "I was surprised about it."

Bicycles are good for businesses — from the bottom line to the corporate boardroom.
From small mom-and-pop storefronts on traditional main streets to large employers in office parks, businesses have been seeing huge benefits from offering incentives to their employees and customers to arrive by bike.
- People who commute by bike cost 72% less to insure than people who drive.
- People who bike to work tend to be more productive employees.
- Customers who arrive by bicycle free up limited parking spaces for cars in retail areas. Many businesses are trading one customer for 10 by converting single-car parking spaces into on-street bike corrals that can accommodate 10 or more bicycles.
- People who bike tend to be very loyal to businesses that offer discounts to customers who arrive by bike.
- Cycling may even become the new golf, as business-networking rides are becoming more popular.
- Small towns and urban commercial districts have seen boosts in tourism and retail spending after installing trails networks, bike lanes and bicycle parking.

Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet

The man who many are tipping to become Barack Obama's running mate is a pro-war, pro-patriot act, Bilderberg member who was an honorary co-chair of the neocon Committee for the Liberation of Iraq, a group that aggressively propagandized for the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Ladies and gentlemen – meet Senator Evan Bayh.
"Top Democratic Party officials are expecting Sen. Barack Obama to select Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh as his running mate as early as midweek," according to US News and World Report.
So exactly where do the sympathies of the Indiana Senator lie and do they jive with Barack Obama's proclaimed platitude to be offering "change" in the upcoming presidential election?
According to Wikipedia, "On October 2, 2002, Bayh joined President George W. Bush and Congressional leaders in a Rose Garden ceremony announcing their agreement on the joint resolution authorizing the Iraq War, and was thanked by Bush and Senator John McCain for co-sponsoring the resolution."
Not only that, but Bayh served as an honorary co-chair of the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq along with John McCain, Obama's Republican adversary.
As Talking Points Memo notes, "The Committee is a neo-con group that was formed to propagandize the country into war. It boasted such illustrious neocon members as Bill Kristol, former CIA director James Woolsey, and even McCain senior foreign policy adviser and Chalabi-bamboozler Randy Scheunemann."
In a February 2006 interview with the Washington Post, Bayh "refused, as some of his fellow Senators already had, to renounce his support for the war".
Bayh also voted for the re-authorization of the USA Patriot Act in 2006.
The Senator is also a keen supporter of the pro-Israel lobby group AIPAC, having previously described his "lifelong affection for the state of Israel" at an AIPAC luncheon.
Bayh has warned that Iran is seeking a nuclear weapon, despite the National Intelligence Estimate having refuted this claim, and the Senator has also introduced sanctions against Iran, repeatedly denouncing the country with heated rhetoric on national television.
Bayh is also a Bilderberg Group kingpin, having not only attended its meeting but also giving a keynote speech at their 1999 confab in Sintra, Portugal.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Bayh is nothing more than another pro-war, pro destruction of the constitution, elitist neocon scumbag. What makes him more dangerous is that he is – just like Obama himself – a wolf in sheep's clothing, camouflaging himself amidst the mindless rhetoric of "change" while in reality representing nothing more than the status quo.

10 Songs to Inspire You Today!
10 Songs to Inspire You Today!
I was poking around the Internet today and ran across a few inspirational lists, but one in particular caught my eye.
Music has always had a healing effect on me and at certain times in my life it seems that just the right song plays when I need to hear it most. So, when I saw a site that listed the 25 Most Inspirational Songs, I had to check it out.
Listed below is the Top 10. To view the full list, click here. Many of these songs I had never heard of before, but when I listened to them I liked them!
1. "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor
2. "Reach" by Gloria Estefan
3. "Gonna Fly Now" by Bill Conti
4. "I Believe I Can Fly" by R. Kelly
5. "Hero" by Mariah Carey
6. "Never Surrender" by Corey Hart
7."Dare You to Move" by Switchfoot
8. "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gayner
9. "You Gotta Want It" by Roberta Gold
10. "Win" by Brian McKnight
While I totally agree with many of these choices, I also feel that there are a few songs farther down the list that should have ranked higher. Which songs inspire you?

TOKYO — Highly radioactive iodine seeping from Japan's damaged nuclear complex may be making its way into seawater farther north of the plant than previously thought, officials said Monday, adding to radiation concerns as the crisis stretches into a third week.
Mounting problems, including badly miscalculated radiation figures and no place to store dangerously contaminated water, have stymied emergency workers struggling to cool down the overheating plant and avert a disaster with global implications.
The coastal Fukushima Dai-ichi power plant, located 140 miles (220 kilometers) northeast of Tokyo, has been leaking radiation since a magnitude-9.0 quake on March 11 triggered a tsunami that engulfed the complex. The wave knocked out power to the system that cools the dangerously hot nuclear fuel rods.

- French to send 1,000 more troops to Mali
On Monday, workers resumed the laborious yet urgent task of pumping out the hundreds of tons of radioactive water inside several buildings at the six-unit plant. The water must be removed and safely stored before work can continue to power up the plant's cooling system, nuclear safety officials said.
The contaminated water, discovered last Thursday, has been emitting radiation that measured more than 1,000 millisieverts per hour in a recent reading at Unit 2 -- some 100,000 times normal amounts, plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. said.
As officials scrambled to determine the source of the radioactive water, chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano repeated Monday that the contaminated water in Unit 2 appeared to be due to a temporary partial meltdown of the reactor core.
"The radiation seems to have come from fuel rods that temporarily melted down and came in contact with the water used to cool the reactor," Edano told a news conference. "Steam may have condensed ... carrying water from within the containment vessel."
His response suggested there was no crack in the reactor containment vessel.
"The air-borne radiation is mainly contained within the reactor building. We must make sure this water does not seep out into the soil or out to sea," he said.
However, new readings show contamination in the ocean has spread about a mile (1.6 kilometers) farther north of the nuclear site than before. Radioactive iodine-131 was discovered just offshore from Unit 5 and Unit 6 at a level 1,150 times higher than normal, Hidehiko Nishiyama, a spokesman for the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency, told reporters Monday.
He had said earlier there was no link between the radioactive water leaking inside the plant and the radiation in the sea. On Monday, though, he reversed that position, saying he does suspect that radioactive water from the plant may indeed be leaking into the ocean.
Call for extending evacuation zone
An anti-nuclear group in Japan said it would be meeting with government officials Monday afternoon to urge that the evacuation area around the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant be extended. Citizens' Nuclear Information Center said 69 non-governmental organizations had signed a petition challenging the government's position that no health effects have been caused by the Fukushima nuclear power emergency. The group said that the government Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare agreed to the meeting in Mizuho only on the condition that it would not be open to the media.
Closer to the plant, radioactivity in seawater tested about 1,250 times higher than normal last week and climbed to 1,850 times normal over the weekend. Nishiyama said the increase was a concern, but also said the area is not a source of seafood and that the contamination posed no immediate threat to human health.Story: Worker inside stricken reactor recalls quake
Up to 600 people are working inside the plant in shifts. Nuclear safety officials say workers' time inside the crippled units is closely monitored to minimize their exposure to radioactivity, but two workers were hospitalized Thursday when they suffered burns after stepping into contaminated water. They were to be released from the hospital Monday.
Meanwhile, a strong earthquake shook the region and prompted a brief tsunami alert early Monday, adding to the sense of unease across Japan. The quake off the battered Miyagi prefecture coast in the northeast measured magnitude-6.5, the Japan Meteorological Agency said.
No damage or injuries were reported, and TEPCO said the quake would not affect work to stabilize the plant. Scores of strong earthquakes have rattled Japan over the past two weeks.
Quake risk at nuclear plants
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has estimated the risk for each nuclear reactor in the U.S. of an earthquake damaging the reactor's core. Geologists estimate that the risk of earthquakes in the central and eastern U.S. is much higher than previously thought. The 104 nuclear reactors are ranked by the NRC's risk estimates in this investigative report from msnbc.com.
Confusion at the plant has intensified fears that the nuclear crisis will last weeks, months or years amid alarms over radiation making its way into produce, raw milk and even tap water as far as Tokyo.
On Sunday, TEPCO officials said radiation in leaking water in the Unit 2 reactor was 10 million times above normal -- an apparent spike that sent employees fleeing the unit. The day ended with officials saying the huge figure had been miscalculated and offering apologies.
"The number is not credible," TEPCO spokesman Takashi Kurita said late Sunday. "We are very sorry."
A few hours later, TEPCO Vice President Sakae Muto said a new test had found radiation levels 100,000 times above normal -- far better than the first results, though still very high.
But he ruled out having an independent monitor oversee the various checks despite the errors.
Muto acknowledged it could take a long time to clean up the Fukushima complex.
"We cannot say at this time how many months or years it will take," he said.
The Associated Press and Reuters contributed to this report.

Strikeforce's upcoming four-woman 135-pound tournament is in danger of losing a competitor, but company officials insist there's still a chance the field will remain intact.
With a little more than two weeks remaining until the tourney, which takes place at Strikeforce Challengers 10, Brazilian veteran Carina Damm (15-3 MMA, 0-0 SF) has yet to secure a work visa needed for entry to the U.S.
Damm's troubles were first reported by MMARising.com, and Strikeforce officials confirmed the news late Wednesday night.
Strikeforce Challengers 10 takes place Aug. 13 at the Dodge Theatre in Phoenix, Ariz., and airs live on Showtime. A 182-pound catchweight bout between veteran Joe Riggs and Louis Taylor headlines the event.
"As has been speculated on various websites, Brazilian Carina Damm is having difficulty obtaining the necessary visa to travel to the U.S. for her participation in the Strikeforce Challengers event on Friday, Aug. 13, where Damm is slated to compete in the women's welterweight (135 pound) tournament in Phoenix, Ariz.," Strikeforce Director of Communications Mike Afromowitz confirmed in the release.
MMARising.com's report indicated that Strikeforce officials may to be blame for the snafu, though Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker told the website the promotion was not necessarily at fault.
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) was unable to reach Coker for comment on Wednesday.
For now, Afromowitz says the company is still hoping Damm will join Hitomi Akano, Maiju Kujala and Miesha Tate in the single-night bracket. If not, Strikeforce officials have a replacement opponent at the ready.
"Strikeforce is working diligently to help Carina secure a visa in time to make the trip for next month's event," Afromowitz stated. "In the event that she is unable to acquire a visa, however, we have identified a qualified replacement for the tournament and will release her name if Carina is officially forced to withdraw from the event. This prospective replacement has been in training camp for several weeks and is prepared to take on the task at hand."
Damm, the sister of Strikeforce and BodogFIGHT
veteran Rodrigo Damm, most recently fought in February at Jungle Fight
17, where she stopped Aline Serio by first-round TKO. She has not lost a
fight since December 2006, when she was submitted by Rosi Sexton during
her own stint in the now-defunct BodogFIGHT promotion. Only five of her
18 bouts have gone the distance.
The tournament crowns a contender to the women's 135-pound title
currently held by Sarah Kaufman, who next defends her belt
against Marloes Coenen at a future Strikeforce event.

I know how to draw a cube based on What is the easiest way to draw 3D cube with TikZ? and Sudoku 3D cube example. But I wonder how to put nicely also dimensions' hierarchies, e.g., with trees tikz library.

A few days ago, Rockstar released Grand Theft Auto: Vice City on the iOS App Store and the Play Store. However, the Android version of the game was buggy with most people who purchased the game unable to even download the extra required files or the game failing to even start.
Thanks to all the 0-star ratings and negative reviews, Rockstar pulled the game from the Play Store but promised that it will bring it back soon with all the bugs fixed. Today, the company has once again re-released GTA: Vice City on the Play Store with all the bugs fixed.
Before you get excited, keep in mind that the game is incompatible with quite a few popular Android devices out there including some variants of the Galaxy Note 2, some U.S variants of the Galaxy S2, all Tegra 2 based phones and a few other devices.
If you get an incompatibility error, I will suggest you to email the Rockstar support team. Rockstar has also uploaded the whole 1.4GB+ of game files to the Play Store so the 15-minute refund window of the Play Store will start only after the game has finished downloading.

Who's Likely to Win Nevada? Roll the Dice
-- In a state that is perhaps best known for gambling and the unique allure of its famous 'Sin City', the presidential election odds are tight, with polls showing a dead heat between Sen. Barack Obama and John McCain.
The state went Democratic in 1994 and 1996, but voted Republican in 2000 and 2004.
During the frenzy of the primaries, Nevada's caucus went for Hillary Clinton over Sen. Barack Obama but Obama walked away with more delegates in the process.
McCain, meanwhile, came in third in the GOP primary behind Mitt Romney and Ron Paul.
As this red-and-blue roulette wheel begins to slow its spin, it is still unclear where the ball will drop come November.
