Oh god when Coco tried to attack Four Beast's main body even though he was sure that he was obstructing it's field of vision... but those eyes on the tentacles are popped out of nowhere and gave me chills on my whole body. Seriously that's why I like Toriko so much. It's good because it's little darker than normal shounen and those fighting and action scenes are superb. I hope with the help of Teppei and Mansam they could overcome this obstacle and save the mankind. I can't think of what would happen next and what will be their next move but the only thing that they need at the moment is team work. Yeah it was good and all that they are attacked monster alone and wanted to test their might but without team work they can't even lift one finger againist Four Beast. It was kinda sad to see Toriko watching his pal's getting wrecked by Four Beast and doing nothing and suddenly he was also attacked by it. I hope they make nice comeback in the next chapter.
edit: Oh by the way now that I re-readed this chapter again I just noticed that Toriko and his crew wants to eat Four Beast after defeating it. He even says that if it tastes delicious or not but what makes me worry is that isn't Four Beast eating human as it's main dish? So I don't think it will taste any good. After all that's something that eats human and it will be like cannibalism to eat something like that. I mean all the nutriments will come from humans so it will leave a bitter taste after eating it. Yeah I am thinking too much but I don't want to eat something that eats humans, lol.

Well, that was a complete overkill! This thing has the brains to match its strength, I really wonder how they're going to beat it before the world is devoured.

Well, it was established a good while back that the Four Beast was the final training ingredient for the four kings, so I'm not actually surprised that Toriko would wonder how tasty it is....
But as for the humans it devoured, maybe Toriko and co. can somehow force him to vomit out the humans he recently ate before they're fully digested or something. But as for the ones that were already gone..... well, at least their deaths won't be in vain since they'll be fused with their saviors' gourmet cells.

Chapter's out!
...and Komatsu's getting cocky, he better hope Zebra didn't hear him say all that in front of the top chefs^^ Looks like an interesting preparation, looking forward to Komatsu's answer to this problem.

Heh, so now Komatsu has ten minutes to figure out a method to save humanity, let alone an hour. Leave it to him to have to somehow find a way to simplify a special ingredient.
Anyways, I notice that Teppei implied that someone keeps "reviving" the Four Beast every time it was defeated in the past. This leads me to believe that the mastermind may be an enemy Saiseiya. And I actually DO recall that the Bishokukai even had a Saiseiya among their ranks.....

Yeah I am sure Teppei going to fight with the mastermind who revived Four Beast behind the scenes while Four Heavenly King trying to beat down Four Beast. This is really interesting and exciting chapter. Also is this just me they will have more time to cook for everyone? I mean there is new chef appeared at the end of chapter and he is really good at handling poisonous ingredients and he said that he can slow down circulation of posion on human body max 3 hours. That means they will have extra more 3 hours and if Komatsu able to come up with a method that every cook can make this mochi then I am sure you can make plently of mochi for everyone in the world within 3 hours. That's great. I am looking forward to what will happen in the next chapter.

December 8, 2013
Hepatitis C has been potentially curable for decades, but it's hardly been easy. "I feel like I'm slowly killing myself," said one of my patients, memorably, during week 24 of a planned bazillion-week course of interferon-ribavirin. (Actually it was only 48 weeks, but seemed like a bazillion weeks.)
Then in 2011 came the addition of telaprevir or boceprevir to the interferon-ribavirin, which made a cure more likely, but the treatment even worse. Rashes. Need for fatty meals. Tons of pills. Taste disturbance. Anal discomfort. ("Like shitting glass," another memorable quote.) Anemia. And for the providers, having to manage these side effects and the complex "response-guided therapy" algorithms was no picnic.
Now, with the approval of simeprevir in November and in particular sofosbuvir Friday, HCV cure just got a whole lot easier. Both are one pill a day. Both have far fewer side effects than any existing HCV drug. Sofosbuvir adds the benefit of having almost zero important drug-drug interactions. (Simeprevir has many.)
And of course, few individuals will actually pay full price out of pocket for these treatments, just like few actually pay for their MRIs or their angioplasties or their stay in the ICU. Treating HCV is not like cosmetic surgery; it's potentially lifesaving. And as with other expensive but lifesaving treatments, we're hoping there will be generous patient-assistance programs for those who can't pay.
But for those without coverage, people in other countries, or those charged with managing pharmacy budgets, this cost is a major hurdle.
All of which leaves me thinking that as of December 8, 2013, these are the best options for genotype 1 HCV infection (cost estimates approximate):
All are a lot better than what we had just last week. All of them contain sofosbuvir. And all are expensive.
What is the best way to treat HCV genotype 1 today?

So we hear a lot about facts and fact checkers. Folks, these debates are all about form, not substance and people want to see how they interact with each other. It's why they finally resorted to putting the 72 Dolphins against the 79 Steelers in a computer. These 2 teams could never match up for real on a field, but people wanted to see how they could go against each other. It's why people are going to want to see the LA Lakers and the Miami Heat in the Finals. So they get 2 more chances plus Ryan v. Biden. The statistics are what they are, Gallup released a stat from 1936-2004 there were 18 races and 15 of them were won by the candidate ahead after Labor Day. Someone else came up with a theme stating the candidate ahead 2 weeks after the conventions has won the last 15 races. If that's the case the Romney has about a 17% chance of winning and the fat lady is already on the stage. But if the market continues to drop from here and he plays the role of the road team playing a perfect game he still has an outside shot of pulling the upset.
This week is the big anniversary of the 2007 top and 2002 bottom. But we are already in the time window. The VIX is back down to basement levels so the conditions are ripe for an important turn, be careful and if it really does materialize please don't be the last man in.

Labeling program helps building owners save energy
The Building Energy Quotient assigns energy usage to building based on an in-operation assessment that includes an energy audit by ASHRAE.
Energy use is one of the highest operating costs for building owners. It is also the most controllable. To help owners reduce their energy costs, a new building labeling program is available that not only rates buildings according to the in-operation energy use but also provides owners with suggested measures that can improve energy efficiency.
The Building Energy Quotient (bEQ) program assigns to buildings an energy usage quotient based on completion of an in-operation assessment that includes an ASHRAE Level I Energy Audit. ASHRAE, a building technology society with more than 50,000 members worldwide, is the developer of bEQ.
bEQ was introduced two years ago as a pilot program with the intent of providing an easily understood scale to convey a building's energy use in comparison to similar buildings and climate zones, while also providing building owners with building-specific information that highlights potential energy saving opportunities. Under the program, buildings are eligible to receive an In Operation rating as long as the building has at least 12 months of consecutive energy use data. The rating is based on the building and how it is operated.

Timber & board buying guide
Broadly speaking, timber comes in three different types: construction timber, finishing timber and decorative timber. It's generally more expensive than man-made boards, which come in lots of varieties with a whole range of uses.
Always try to choose timber that's been certified by an independent organisation like the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) as this means the wood has been sourced sustainably. If there is any wood or paper in a B&Q product, we make sure it meets legal, social and environmental standards. Find out more about our Forest Friendly Promise.

WASHINGTON, March 5 (UPI) -- U.S. Sen. Joseph Lieberman, Ind-Conn., told an Israeli-American lobbying group Monday Iran must end its nuclear activities or face attack.
Lieberman said President Obama has retained the military option to end the nuclear program -- though the president has said diplomacy must be tried first.
Speaking to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the pro-Israeli U.S. senator said the Iranian "regime must hear a message from us and we must state it loud and clear: Either you peacefully negotiate an end to your illicit nuclear activities, or they will be ended for you by military attack."
"It's time for us to make an iron-clad pledge, which will be heard both by our friends and enemies in the Middle East and throughout the world, the United States will prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapons capability by peaceful means if we can, but with military force if we absolutely must," Lieberman said to applause.
Lieberman said he and two other senators have "introduced a non-partisan resolution that says, when it comes to Iran, all options must be on the table, except one option. And that is, containment. It won't work.
"That's precisely what President Obama has said. Now it's time for the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue to say the same thing."
He said: "The Iranian nuclear program is a threat to the entire world, but especially to the United States, Israel and the Arab nations of the Middle East. If Iran is allowed to acquire a nuclear weapons capability, it will set off a cascade of nuclear proliferation as other countries in the region seek atomic arsenals of their own. If Iran is allowed to acquire a nuclear weapons capability, it will make its terrorist proxies, groups that already have the blood of thousands and thousands of Americans, Israelis and Arabs on their hands, infinitely more dangerous."
Lieberman said a nuclear-armed Iran "will be able to bring the global economy to its knees. Whenever it wants. If you think gas prices are high now in our country, imagine what will happen if Iran could back up its threat to close the Strait of Hormuz with a nuclear weapon. This is a future we cannot afford. It is a future we can and must prevent."

Peru's culture ministry says it's moving to protect fossils from Dakar Rally 2013 car race
- Image 1 of 3

- Image 3 of 3
LIMA, Peru – Peru's government is taking steps to protect one of the world's largest fossil deposits from being damaged by this year's Dakar Rally, the Culture Ministry said Thursday.
It's the second year that the long-distance race involving hundreds of cars and motorbikes has included Peru. The race begins Saturday and will cross into Chile and Argentina before ending Jan. 20.
The Culture Ministry said it is erecting signs at all access points to the Ocucaje desert to help prevent damage to existing fossils.
Klaus Honninger, director of the private Meyer-Honninger Paleontological Museum in Peru, called the race an "enormous danger" for the Ocucaje fossil zone in the Ica region, which is home to fossils of whales, dolphins, penguins and other animals.
Honninger said spectators at last year's rally dumped tons of trash in the desert and some people reportedly used whale fossil vertebrae as benches. Some autos crushed fossils in their path.
Dakar Rally director Etienne Lavigne said Thursday that organizers are taking all measures possible to prevent any kind of damage to fossils or the environment in general. He said organizers would be making inspections every day on every leg of the race.

Conflicts of interest, financial or otherwise, clearly influence some people's actions some of the time. When most experts in an area of medicine share a similar conflict, it can be hard to know if you are getting an unbiased opinion, guideline or recommendation. Disclosure of conflicts is a good idea, but once disclosed you are still left wondering how an expert's opinion might have been shaped and altered by the conflict.
Conflicts, though, can be something on which to blame all manner of disliked opinions, errors in judgment, or just plain mistakes, out of all proportion to their actual role in a given circumstance.
Recently in BMJ, Jeanne Lenzer published a piece titled "Why we can't trust clinical guidelines". Ms. Lenzer, a journalist, has written about conflicts of interest frequently, and she and Shannon Brownlee published a list of industry-independent experts that journalists could contact for unconflicted opinions about new research and products. For my own disclosure, I am on this list and think it's a great idea, though journalists have only very rarely contacted me through this listing.
In her current piece, though, I think other problems are being mistaken for conflicts of interest, at least if we are talking the financial kind. Ms. Lenzer writes about guidelines recommending that steroids be given to patients with spinal cord injuries. (She uses this as a backdrop to a more current concern about recommendations around alteplase for stroke, but I'm not going to address the alteplase issue in this post). She makes it clear that she feels this is an example where conflicts of interest have led to actively harmful guidelines:
One expert estimated that more patients had been killed by the treatment in the past decade than died in the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks.
She sets this up by pointing out that the lead author on a study published in the NEJM supporting the use of steroids in spinal cord injury, "...declared he was an occasional consultant to steroid manufacturers Pharmacia and Upjohn...." He then went on to be the "sole reviewer" on a Cochrane Collaboration review of the issue.
So, in this view of the world, an author has occasionally consulted to Pharmacia and Upjohn; those companies make steroids, and so the opinion about whether to administer steroids to patients with spinal cord injuries is so tainted that more people are killed by this harmful therapy in a decade than died in the WTC attacks on 9/11.
Is this really believable? Could large pharmaceutical manufacturers and their occasional consultants actually care enough about an inexpensive, uncommon therapy to desire to promote it in the face of harm?
I've been following the overall issue of steroids in spinal cord injury because it's an intersection between evidence and values that causes real problems for anyone who wants to write a guideline. There are published trials suggesting neurologic benefit when steroids are administered early after spinal cord trauma. However, to find these benefits, the data must be interpreted with a forgiving eye. An early subgroup must be split off from the trial as a whole, and the definition of early does not seem to have been made a priori. As such, the benefit may just be a statistical blip -- in general, post hoc subgroup analyses should be viewed with suspicion. Additionally, the actual neurologic benefit seen, even in the "early" subgroups, were quite small and perhaps of marginal clinical importance.
Weighing against the use of steroids are their obvious harms, including an increased risk of infection in trauma patients who are already setups for developing such infections.
The problem, though, is that many people are willing to accept a significant increased risk of death for a small chance of benefit when the issue is spinal cord injury. I watched a group of physicians trained in medical evidence who had participated in a detailed review of the data around steroids for spinal cord injury vote overwhelmingly that they would want steroids if they suffered such trauma. (They were far more willing to take the steroids themselves than recommend it for their patients based on the data, but that should always give us pause about where real-world values and preferences lie.)
So, are the issues with guidelines around steroids for spinal cord injury really do to conflicts of interest?
I do think the author of the NEJM trial is conflicted, but not because he has some association with some large companies that happen to make steroids as one of their products. Instead, he has the universal intellectual conflict of having studied something, wanting to find an important result in his research, and wanting what he found to be true. I would not view him as the best person to judge whether the subgroup analyses in the trial were reasonable, or whether the neurologic benefits in the trial were clinically meaningful.
But the big problem with guidelines around steroids has relatively little to do with these author conflicts. Instead, the problem for guideline developers is that we are very uncertain that steroids help but have some evidence that they might. Though being administered steroids likely increases the chance of dying, this is apparently a chance that many people (including a roomful of fully-informed physicians) appears ready to take when the alternative is so grim (at least to those who are not currently quadriplegic; it's worth pointing out that another problem with values and preferences around this issue is that people living as quadriplegics typically view their quality of life as much better than the quality of life that healthy people anticipate for themselves were they to become quadriplegic.)
So to come back to where I started, conflicts of interest can be a huge problem for the development of trustworthy guidelines. But there are many other things that can be problems, and for a particular guideline these may loom much larger than conflicts. It's important to diagnose the problem correctly in each case, so that we don't view every flawed (or potentially flawed) guideline as due to a single cause.

About Antoine Rose
After receiving his first camera at the age of 8 years old, self-taught photographer Antoine Rose developed an eye for the medium through his travels and time spent taking photos of professional water sports. Rose was the official photographer of the Kitesurfing World Cup for several years—capturing wide panoramas of the ocean and the beach—and in 2002, while shooting the competition in Rio de Janeiro, he began working on his most recent series, "Up in the Air." He says of his adventurous practice, "Shooting from helicopters, all doors removed, 300 feet above the earth at 20 knots and getting tack sharp images that can be printed as large as 120 inches is quite a challenge."

There's a girl I started seeing a few weeks ago and so far, so good—except for one small thing: She texts me all the time. At first it was cute, but now I find it's interrupting my daily flow and work. I should also say that I rarely text, except to make plans or in emergencies. What's the etiquette here? How do I tell her to calm down without coming off as a jerk? — Texting Neophyte
Dear Neo,
Calm down, Sandra! Take a Xanax and chillax with the texts! (Alliteration helps soothe manic texters, I've found).
Let's start with the obvious: Have you told her you're not into texting? Because you can totally do that. It's not rude; it's your prerogative.
There's even a song about it, so you know it's true. The next time you see your new ladyfriend, be clear about your preferences. "Hey Sandra [I don't know why I want her to be named Sandra]. You may have noticed I haven't responded to some of your texts. [Insert pause for her to shed a tear or two at your inconsiderateness] I wanted to let you know that it's not personal and I'm not ignoring you. I'm just not a big texter, except to make plans or in emergencies, even though that's weird. ["Your house burned down. Didn't you get my text?"]. Let's grab a mulled wine at the Christkindlmarket and talk like two sentient beings without the impediment of a glowing blue screen, shall we?"
You can even say it "interrupts your flow and work." Most people understand that modern life involves a hundred thousand distractions at any given moment and will respect your wish for a few hours of emoji-free time. She will probably still be a little miffed because she's into you and wanted to convey textually that she was thinking about you, which is sweet, but come on, Sandra, some of us have to work.
You also don't have to respond to every text, or even keep your phone where you can see or hear it pinging. Most employers don't want you texting during work hours, so you can fall back on that as an excuse if need be, but if you're clear about your limited texting habits, hopefully she'll follow suit. Other excuses that may work if you're too cowardly to come out and ask her to cease and desist:

What's in a number? Well, apparently it depends on what number and how attached a player has become to wearing it during their careers.
When Renee Montgomery played for the UConn women she wore No. 20 and then put it on again when the WNBA's Minnesota Lynx drafted her. The number became a part of her idenity and the cornerstone of her website.
But when Montgomery came to play for the Connecticut Sun, Kara Lawson, who had more senority in the league, wore 20 and didn't want to give it up. So Montgomery reluctantly had to settle for No. 21.
Or what of Maya Moore, No. 32 in high school? When she arrived at UConn, the number belonged to Kalana Greene, who wasn't going to...

GNUstep Live CD
From GNUstepWiki
Revision as of 00:18, 3 February 2007; view current revision
←Older revision | Newer revision→
←Older revision | Newer revision→
There are several efforts to create Live CDs of GNUstep
GNUSTEP Live CD
of Gürkan Sengün, Version 1.0 released on November 6, 2006
- Some Apps can't be started from GWorkspace, instead openapp <MyApplication> is required
- Which?
- Cynthiune.app, DBModeler.app, Gorm.app, Lynkeos.app, ProjectCenter.app, Scheme.app, UL.app
Can you start them by commandline or the Window Maker menu? Why can they not be started by GWorkspace?
- Some windows (for instance in DBModeler.app) can't be accessed since the title bar is off-screen (a seasoned GNUstepper knows how to fix this but what about the newbies?) (This happens with most GNUstep apps, and should be fixed in GNUstep/Gorm)
- most dock icons show a generic icon at startup and reveal their true nature not before starting the associated application
Yes this was my fault due to the WMState file of Window Maker is different when it's running or not (pretty sucky, but it's like that).
- Some menus behave oddly
Is this related to GNUstep? Window Maker? Or the versions of them on the CD? This happens a lot more when I have GWorkspace running (which I avoid for this and several other bugs)
- Sometimes a PS/2 mouse isn't recognized (differs from boot time to boot time on the same hardware)
- Some Apps have obvious bugs:
- Cenon: on startup: "NSRangeException Index 0 is out of range 0 (in 'objectAtIndex:')"
I know about this bug, any patches are welcome to fix this.
- DBModeler: Inspector Window is off-screen (the titlebar)
- I actually think this is fairly normal with GNUstep applications (at least it happens to me all the time). With most WM all you have to do is press ALT with the mouse inside the window to move it.
Bugs reported by Fred Kiefer:
- It took a long time to start up, during this it tried to get a network connection via DHCP and also prepared the nfonts. I think the first should be switched off and the fonts preprepared.
- Your computer is very slow? Run a DHCP server in the network? Hm yeah maybe the preparation is a good idea, wonder how...
- There were no names on the dock icons, making it hard to realize what they were standing for.
- I can fix that, exit Window Maker, and it writes different WMState
- The fonts didn't display white space.
- Can you provide a screenshot for this? I can not reproduce this.
- There were no colour schemas predefined.
- Can you provide the schemas and tell where they get on the filesystem?
- There's some under the Modules/ColorSchemes directory of SystemPreferences in svn. I'm not 100% sure, but I think they go under $GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT/Library/Colors.
- Is it possible that these are not installed? Where should I find those if I have /usr/lib/GNUstep as GNUstep root?
- As far as I know, there's no SystemPreferences package under Debian, which might be why you can't find it. For some reason Debian packages Preferences (the Backbone program) and not SystemPreferences (the GNUstep program). SystemPreferences seems to do a little more than Preferences as it's development is active, and I'm not sure if Backbone is. In my opinion, the only Backbone program worth using is Terminal.app, because Ink can replace TextEdit and SystemPreferences can replace Preferences.
- Is it possible that these are not installed? Where should I find those if I have /usr/lib/GNUstep as GNUstep root?
- There's some under the Modules/ColorSchemes directory of SystemPreferences in svn. I'm not 100% sure, but I think they go under $GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT/Library/Colors.
Feature Requests
- it should be obvious how to install GNUstep on HD from within the Live CD (ideally by employing a GUI based wizard)
- I've got a text file on how to do it, what about you write an installer?
- Can you mail me that file? How much is the effort needed to build such an installer (roundabout)?
- Feel free to put it up on a server some where, cause I'd be interested too! If the procedures aren't too intensive, it could probably be done by FOSDEM with sh scripts.
- Can you mail me that file? How much is the effort needed to build such an installer (roundabout)?
- The file is online and linked to from http://livecd.gnustep.org/ at the Installing part: http://www.linuks.mine.nu/gnustep/install.txt (the only quirk is the CD doesn't have rsync, so apt-get install rsync before you run any of the rsync commands)
- Well, rsync isn't really needed... in my opinion, cp will suffice.

I want to use the Internet-Tablets as a media-player (like iPod). But it's difficult to change a song or the volume, when it's locked in my pocket. The hardware-keys like (+),(-) and (toggle fullscren) could be used to control media-player, even though touchscreen and keyboard is locked.
Hardware-Keys should control Media-Player, even when locked

Solutions for this brainstorm
Selected solutions for this brainstorm
Not selected solutions for this brainstorm
Solution #1: A Framework by Nokia
Posted on 2009-06-17 15:21 UTC by Keywan Najafi Tonekaboni.
Nokia sets up a framework for the signals of the keys. Applications could implement this and execute useful actions. Maybe DBus could be helpful for this approach.
The details could be discusses, but here is my idea:
push -/+ : decrease/increase volume
hold -/+ : previous/next song
toggle: play/pause (this is critical, because it could confuse users)
The hardwre only react like this, when the device is locked or in "desktop/home view" (Is something like this still in freemantle)/no programm is running and mediaplayer is running...
Solution #3: use shaking and gestures
Posted on 2009-10-11 09:20 UTC by Josef Assad.
The following might be an option.
All of this assumes the device is in a pocket, parallel to the body and perpendicular to the ground (edge case where the user wishes to manipulate media player while horizontal - either accidentaly or intentionally - out of scope).
Next track: shake, stroke finger from top to bottom of screen (the longer axis)
Prev. track: shake, stroke finger from bottom to top (the longer axis)
Toggle Pause/Play: shake, double tap anywhere.
I don't know how the currently available hardware treats the situation where the device is locked and the hardware volume buttons are pressed. If it's anything like other Nokia devices, the volume buttons will have no effect. If that is the case here, then this might cover manipulating volume while device is locked:
Shake, resulting in device remaining locked but waiting 3 seconds to see if the volume buttons are pressed. If they are, keep accepting presses on the volume buttons until 3 seconds have gone by without tem being pressed.

Nashua warehouse could lose most of its business unless Liquor Commission decision is overturnedBy DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
January 27. 2013 11:02PM
NASHUA - It's hard to imagine how a business could survive after losing more than 90 percent of its revenue, but that's the situation Brian Law will face by the end of the year unless he can successfully challenge a decision by the New Hampshire Liquor Commission to end a relationship with his warehouse and trucking firm that spans nearly half a century.
Law is the fifth-generation president of a company founded by his great-great grandfather in 1882 with a single horse and buggy in downtown Nashua. Law Warehouses and Motor Freight is not just another company in the Gate City; It is deeply woven into the fabric of community life, a major employer with 120 good jobs and a taxpayer to the tune of $500,000 a year.
Law's father, Jack Law, now retired, was Nashua's Citizen of the Year in 2009, and the company is one of the most active supporters of nonprofit groups in the community. All of that is now at risk as Law fights for his company's life and legacy.
That's not the Liquor Commission's problem, he acknowledges. If the NHLC can prove its decision to award a 20-year contract worth $200 million to an Ohio-based firm owned by a German company is in the best interest of New Hampshire, then so be it.
But Law says everything he has seen so far raises serious questions about whether the state's competitive bidding statute was followed, whether he and other bidders were on an even playing field with Exel of Westerville, Ohio, owned by German company Deutsche Post DHL.
He has pursued a Right-to-Know petition in Superior Court to prove his suspicion that the Ohio firm enjoyed favored status in a process that was continually modified to suit the timing and content of its proposal. Under careful examination, he says, the extensive and costly review of five bids on the lucrative contract appears to have been designed to achieve a pre-determined outcome in favor of Exel.
Started on a handshake
In a 44-page history of the bidding process posted on its website, the Liquor Commission Evaluation Committee that unanimously recommended Exel dismisses those suspicions, and suggests it was Law who tried to inappropriately influence the bidding process.
The tension between Law Warehouses and the Liquor Commission is clear in the lengthy document, and a mystery to Law, whose father began business with the commission in 1970 on a handshake and continued on that basis until 1997, when the company first had to engage in competitive bidding to retain the warehouse and trucking contract. Law was able to successfully rebid on the business every five years thereafter, until last year.
In its history, the commission goes into significant detail on the references provided by other bidders, but said none were necessary for Law: "The NHSLC has had a good working relationship with Law for decades. Its recent history is well-known to the NHSLC."
"We grew with the Liquor Commission over the years," Law says, as he looks over an automated sorting system for mixed-box orders. The company invested $500,000 to install the system in 2007 in one of five buildings dedicated to NHLC business at a sprawling complex on Airport Road, off Route 101A.
In announcing the new contract with Exel on Nov. 20, the commission acknowledged "with gratitude its long-term working relationship with Law Warehouses."
But Law is not feeling much gratitude or fairness from the commission. He says its evaluation committee makes several factual errors about Law's proposal in its report, which he declined to specify on the advice of counsel since they could surface as grounds for an appeal.
He claims the commission cherry-picked figures to make the Exel proposal look more competitive when it cited savings in the first 30 months of the new contract as high as $7 million. Those projections are based on rates that Law was willing to waive or renegotiate, if given the chance, he said.
Law finds its suspicious that his firm and another top bidder, XTL-NH, Inc., had documented real estate solutions for a new warehouse when the bidding process began, but Exel did not. He claims deadlines were extended seven times, and conditions modified, until the Exel proposal achieved competitive status.
Headed for court
In its report, the commission's evaluation committee points out, "The (competitive bidding) process has always provided that the RFP (request for proposals) may be amended, deadlines may be extended and additional information may be requested from vendors at any time. Some questions prompted changes to the RFP."
Law says many of the emails and documents that would enable him to make his case have been withheld or redacted. Even though a Superior Court judge has ruled that the state is not required to produce all the documents, Law says he and his lawyers will review the list of what has been withheld, appeal to the courts to have more of the information released, then appeal to the commission to reconsider its decision.
If all that fails, he expects to file a civil suit and seek an injunction to block the new contract until the lawsuit is resolved.
"If there is no legal protest process, we'll end up in court," he said. "We would prefer not to go to court, but we have not been shown there is a legal process that provides a remedy."
The Liquor Commission Evaluation Committee, in its report, notes that any challenge must be based solely on factual content, yet it acknowledges that "most of the decisions made by the EC (evaluation committee) were subjective. ... Whatever scoring was used by the EC, the commissioners must ultimately form their own judgment in determining which proposal best meets the needs of the (liquor commission)."
The scoring among the top three vendors was close, with Exel at 93 points, XTL-NH at 91 and Law Warehouses at 82. The category that hurt Law's ranking the most was in IT capabilities, which Law says he does not understand and for which there is little detail in the committee report.
Legislative oversight
A House committee established last year to investigate several controversies surrounding the Liquor Commission included a review of the warehousing contract, but key staffers refused to testify, citing confidentiality of the RFP process, so the committee reached no conclusions on that issue.
The warehouse contract would have been subject to review by the Executive Council, if not for the Liquor Commission Modernization Act, which the Legislature approved in 2009. The act was designed to enable the commission to operate more like a private business so it could enhance state revenues from liquor sales.
The New Hampshire attorney general later rendered an opinion that the law exempts Liquor Commission contracts from Executive Council review. Former NHLC Chairman Mark Bodi, who stepped down last year, says he drafted the legislation and that was never its intent.
"While the attorney general's opinions are important," he said, "they are not always accurate, and in this case I believe it was not, and it's had very severe consequences. I think it would have been prudent regardless of the AG opinion to bring that contract before the Executive Council. It is my view that should still take place now."
Law will take a review wherever he can get one - in the Legislature, Executive Council or through the courts - as he faces the prospect of downsizing to a much smaller company, if he survives at all.
"If someone can prove to me that we lost fair and square, then I will apologize and move on," he said. "But that hasn't happened."

The AUP family is TIs premier solution to the industrys low-power needs in battery-powered portable applications. This family ensures a very low static- and dynamic-power consumption across the entire VCC range of 0.8 V to 3.6 V, resulting in increased battery life (see Figure 1). This product also maintains excellent signal integrity (see the very low undershoot and overshoot characteristics shown in Figure 2).
The SN74AUP1G97 features configurable multiple functions. The output state is determined by eight patterns of 3-bit input. The user can choose the logic functions MUX, AND, OR, NAND, NOR, inverter, and noninverter. All inputs can be connected to VCC or GND.
The device functions as an independent gate with Schmitt-trigger inputs, which allows for slow input transition and better switching-noise immunity at the input.
NanoStar™ package technology is a major breakthrough in IC packaging concepts, using the die as the package.
This device is fully specified for partial-power-down applications using Ioff. The Ioff circuitry disables the outputs, preventing damaging current backflow through the device when it is powered down.

The GO-32 Satellite TECHSAT-1B team has asked me to announce experimental 9600 baud APRS access for mobile and tactical APRS on a not-to-interfere basis with the existing PACSAT BBS. The uplink is possible with 5 Watts on 2 meters, but the downlink is 9 dB worse to an omni antenna on UHF and requires tuning 10 to 20 KHz for Doppler. SO far, we are starting with zero permanent IGates to bring the downlink into the global APRS system, but we hope volunteers will surface with permanent satgates. So initally, do NOT expect to see yourself on FINDU.COM. Enjoy ham radio, Make a contact instead! Experimental testing shows that an APRS HT with a 19.5" whip can get a lucky shot into this satellite (but not when there is congestion on the uplink). With a handheld beam, it should be no problem for an HT, and the beam is needed on reception anyway. Fifty Watt mobiles should have no problem using a stock mobile whip. Due to the absence of APRS signals to date, we do not have good statistics on reception in a mobile yet... Operating on a 9600 baud FULL DUPLEX APRS satellite is MUCH different than ARISS, or any of the other 1200 baud APRS PCSATS, because the turn-around is so fast, that you cannot see your own digipeated packets on the same radio (usually)... Please read and understand this entire email before attempting to operate. The easiest way to get on GO-32 with 9600 baud APRS is to use a Kenwood D7, D700 or D710 radio. These radios since 1998 have been satellite 9600 baud ready, just waiting on a satellite!. Read these notes on how to operate GO-32 with a D7 or D700: Set APRS Baudrate to 9600 baud. Set A band to uplink on 145.93 Set B band to receive 435.225 +/- 10 KHz Set Path to be via 4XTECH Set MYCALL to a unique SSID Set TX method to AUTO Set TX RATE 1 min for HT. 2 min for D700 Put something useful in your STATUS text maybe describing your setup: "50W mobile, 1/4 wave, 2m rate" or "5W HT, long whip, 1m rate" Save in a PM for use anytime you are outside of the terrestrial APRS network. SATELLITE OPERATING NOTES: The GO32 uplinks and downlinks are for the PACSAT store and forward system and users. APRS is on a secondary basis and should not be operated unattended. If you see that the BBS PBLIST is full of other users, do not enable your APRS since the uplink will be busy. RIght now, the PBLIST is not in APRS format so you cannot see it unless you are running normal packet mode. But we will work on that... On the D700 you can press PMON on the front panel and see these packets... but they FLY by... ACCESS TIMES: GO-32 is sun synchronous and so it comes over everywhere three times between about 8 AM to Noon and again between 8 PM to midnight local sun time. During these two windows at least one pass each will be an overhead pass which might also work for an HT. The other passes will be lower to the East or West and will work fine for a 50W mobile. WHAT YOU HEAR: 9600 baud sounds almost exactly like open squelch, though the tuned ear can soon distinguish the difference. Before the pass, set your squelch normally to quiet the speaker. When you hear the satellite, the squelch will open and you may see up to 3 bars on your S meter. Tune to the "best sounding" noise. DOPPLER: Depending on how low to the horizon you can see, the satelite approaches 10 KHz high at 435.235 MHz... But it is maybe 3000 km away. As it gets higher, and 6 dB closer, it will be on 435.230 MHz, passing through 435.225 published center frequency at the middle point, and then drop down through 435.220 and ending at 435.215. But since it is 6 to 10 dB closer (and stronger) towards the center of the pass (800 km overhead), the mobile antenna is probably only going to hear the middle 435.230, .225, .220 portion easily. So I would start my receiption at 435.230... UPLINK CHANNELS: GO-32 allows two APRS uplinks. One is exclusive to D7/D700 tactical position reporting and the other exclusive to messaging. This is in hardware, not policy... 1) All APRS messaging (or fixed station non-Mic-E positions) must use the 145.85 uplink where GO32 only digipeats APRS packets with TOCALLs that begin with the usual "APxxxx". (Even the D7 and D700 use "APKxxx" for messages.) 2) All APRS Mic-E position uplinks (D7, D700 and D710s) must be on 145.93 MHz and they must have the position comment set to "Committed, Special or PRIORITY"... With those comment settings then the TOCALL first LATITUDE digit will be 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and only these will be accepted by GO32 for digipeating from 145.93. DATA CARRIER DETECT: The D700 and non(g) model D7's will NOT TX if they are hearing the downlink at the same time due to CARRIER DETECT. The D7(g) model has DCD IGNORE that *will* let it TX anyway. So use separate rigs for TX and for RX if you want to see yourself. Otherwise stick to the receommended TX rates and know that you are getting in if you stick to the protocol. Sticking to the recommended rates also keeps channel loading low, so that everyone gets in with less congestion. PERMANENT SATGATES: Here is a great place to use your D7 HT when you are not using it otherwise. Simply connect it to a 19" whip over a ground plane and to your APRS IGate system. The antenna does not even need to be high, since it cannot hear, nor will it be on frequency for low packets near the horizon 3000 km away. Set it to 9600 baud RX and tune to 435.230 (which is 5 KHz high). This Doppler setting will match the stronger signals. This 19.5" whip (3/4 wave on 435) does not need to see below 25 degrees, since its max gain (almost 7 dB) is between 30 to 70 degrees anwyay. This also protects your HT from lightning, since it can be low, below all of your other antnenas. Yes, your station will only see about 30% of all possible packets and only on the best two passes per day, but combined with dozens of other such unattended SATgates, all packets should be heard somewhere by someone and injected into the APRS Internet system. I hope to have an APRS-via-GO32 web page up in a few weeks, but in the mean time, use this message for deails. Here is a link to AMSAT's description of GO-32: http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/satellites/satInfo.php?satID=14&retURL=/satellites/status.php Good luck!

Also to quote the explanation OPLC gave "The participating governments or organizations will then distribute the XO laptops in a non-profit manner to their schools or participants." now "in a non-profit manner" mean that these governments or organizations going to have to pay for this? if so then its not really the same if we lobbied to get Free ones from you're organization, or they have to buy them and then give them Free to the children.

So, if you really want to feel Entitled to one, then you shouldn't feel entitled to pay $200 for it. You should feel Entitled to get one for free from your kid's ISD! MIT is not quite the direction you should be venting, but at the next school board meeting, be sure you speak up! Demand that your ISD buy an XO for all the kids! Your kid attends their ISD, so they Deserve an XO! But with education budgets as it is, probably the only way your ISD will be able to afford it is if they sell municipal bonds or raise property taxes.
Therefore, if you want your kid to get a free XO, your best bet is to vote to increase property taxes on your house.

This is part of a series of posts about the QuiltCon Block Challenge. You can see more photos of blocks submitted for this challenge here, and in the Block Challenge Flickr Group.
Here is the finished quilt top! I wanted to keep things as simple as possible, so I just sashed all the blocks in white, which blends nicely with the white that is in so many of the blocks already.
I love the fact that the top already has "MQG" and "QuiltCon" on it, but I also wanted to add the location and dates.
Rebecca Roach's Texas block seemed like a good place to add "Austin" in embroidery.
I knew that Karen Alexander was concerned that her armadillo didn't have an eye, so I gave him one. I also embroidered the dates of QuiltCon along his back.
Hopefully Rebecca and Karen aren't too upset about my changes to their blocks!
I'm really happy with how this turned out. Check back on Thursday to see what I did with the back.
As a way of giving something back to QuiltCon's host city of Austin, Texas, we're going to use the blocks that aren't selected for this quilt to make quilts for each of the 46 beds at the Austin Children's Shelter. This will be MQG's first large-scale charity project and we look forward to both using the many beautiful blocks we received for the challenge and getting as many guilds as possible involved in the process! Participating guilds will receive a package of 7 or more blocks (much like the groups of blocks being shown in these blog posts) to expand into a 68″ X 88″ Twin bed quilt. This can be accomplished by adding blocks, adding negative space, or some combination of the two. The quilts will need to be machine quilted, bound, washed, and shipped to Austin in advance of QuiltCon. MQG will also be interested in hearing about each guild's process and will feature the completed quilts in a series of blog posts in Spring 2013.
If your guild is interested in this project, please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com to let us know.

•Exam Schedule. The final exams for the Summer term are listed in the Schedule of Classes available here. You will be notified of the classroom assignments for your exams prior to the start of exam period.
•Exam Reschedule Requests: June 27-July 3. The Student Handbook requires that you take your final exams at the times scheduled unless you have an exam conflict (as defined below), or you have a "serious illness or other extraordinary or compelling reason" beyond your control. If you have an exam conflict or believe you have other reasons justifying the rescheduling of an exam, please complete the Final Exam Reschedule form. To complete the form, log into your Web for Students account and navigate to the Final Exam Reschedule form. The form will be available beginning Wednesday, June 27. The deadline for submitting an exam method request is Tuesday, July 3, at 5:00 pm. If your request is approved, you will be notified after the deadline about the rescheduled date, time, and location of your exam. Under current policy, a student is deemed to have an "exam conflict" if the student has two exams at the same time, or has two or more exams within 24 hours.
•Exam Method Registration: June 27 - July 3. Students have three choices for taking most exams: handwriting the exam, taking the exam on their own laptop computer, or taking the exam on a lab computer. Some professors do not permit one or more of these options (e.g., some require all students to hand write the exam).
Assuming your professor has authorized you to take the exam on computer, we will assume you are taking the exam on your own laptop. You need to register your exam-taking method only if you wish to hand-write the exam, or take it on a lab computer (subject to space availability). Please check with your professor if you are uncertain whether computer use will be permitted for your exam. If you choose the lab computer option but there are not enough spaces available, we will conduct a lottery after the close of the exam method registration period to determine who can use the lab computers. (This usually is not necessary, but occasionally we have more requests than we can accommodate for lab computers.)
If you wish to register to take an exam by hand or on a lab computer, log into your Web for Students account and navigate to the Exam Method Registration form. The form will be available beginning Wednesday, June 27. The deadline for submitting an exam method request is Tuesday, July 3, at 5:00 pm.
Notice about SofTest: Students taking exams on laptop must download and install the SofTest exam-taking program. You will receive information from the Computer Center about when and how to do this. Even though you do not need to submit an Exam Method Registration form to use your laptop for exams, you do need to download and install SofTest. In addition, you must download the new version of SofTest even if you have an older version from a prior semester. You cannot use older versions of the program - you must have the new version of SofTest.
Unless a professor specifies otherwise, SofTest is configured to lock students out of other programs and services on their computers for the duration of the exam. This means that, unless a professor specifically authorizes access, students will not have access to notes, outlines, or other materials stored on their hard drive or the network.
Notice About Borrowing Laptops from the Computer Center: The Computer Center has a limited supply of laptop computers reserved for use in emergency situations that arise during exam period. Please contact Dean Sowle if you opt to take an exam on laptop, and your laptop suffers unexpected problems that cannot be remedied before your exam. The Computer Center's laptops also may be used (subject to availability) if your computer has problems immediately before or during an exam, as long as the problem is not due to your failing to properly configure or register your laptop to run the SofTest program. Because of limited supply, the Computer Center's laptops are not available for general loaning purposes during exam period. However, if you have exceptional circumstances that you believe justify borrowing a laptop for an exam, please contact Dean Sowle to discuss your situation.
Notice to Hand Writers: Students who are hand writing an exam will be placed in the same room used by laptop users for that exam. Hand writers will not be put in a separate room.
•Availability of Professors' Old Exams. Many professors make their old exams available for students to review. Exams after 1992 are available online by going to http://library.kentlaw.edu/Courses/index.htm and clicking on the Exam Database link in the lefthand menu. Exams dating from 1992 and before are bound in volumes available in the 10th floor reading room in the Library.
Fall 2012 Registration. The final Fall 2012 class schedule, the Registration Bulletin, and the course and exam grids will be available on Monday, April 23, by clicking here or by going to the Current Students page (click on the Fall 2012 Quick Guide link). Print copies will be available on the table outside the third floor cafetria. Registration will take place from Wednesday, April 25 through Saturday, April 28, at 5:00pm. You may register at any time during that period.
After the end of the registration period, the registration requests will be processed according to each student's registration priority. In other words, registration will not be conducted on a first-come, first-served basis; as long as you register during the designated period, you will have an equal chance of being admitted to a class as other students within your registration priority group. To learn what classes you have been admitted into, you must check the online registration site on or after Thursday, May 3. Registering for a class during the initial registration period is no guarantee that you will be admitted into the class – you must check the web site on or after Thursday, May 3 to learn what classes you have been admitted into.
Students graduating at the end of the Fall 2012 semester who need fewer than the minimum number of hours to graduate may take fewer credits without special permission. In addition, if you will be graduating at the end of the Fall 2012 semester, and will be taking more than the 87 credits required to graduate, you may receive a 50% discount on each credit you take over the required 87 credits. If this affects you, please contct me by email no later than the end of the Fall add/drop period in September, and I will arrange for the credit to be applied to your account.
•IP Management and Markets Classes.
IIT offers a Master's degree in Intellectual Property Management and Markets (IPMM). J.D. students in the Intellectual Property Certificate Program may petition to take one of the following Fall 2012 IPMM courses: IPMM 502, IP Assessment; or IPMM 503, Acquiring IP. Course descriptions are available here. If you are a certificate student and are interested in taking one of these classes, please contact Prof. Ed Lee. Please note that, if you receive approval to take one of these classes, the credits will count toward your J.D. degree, but the grades will not appear on your J.D. transcript or count toward your GPA.
Dean's Certificate for Illinois Bar. We will mail a Dean's Certificate to the Illinois bar examiners for every graduating student after final grades for the Spring semester are received and processed, and we can confirm completion of all graduation requirements. We compile the list of graduating students from the list of those who submitted Applications for Graduation listing Spring 2012 as their final semester.
Bar Exams in Other Jurisdictions. If you plan to take a bar exam outside of Illinois, you should provide the Registrar with appropriate forms for the Law School to complete as soon as possible.
Official Student Withdrawal Process.Students wishing to request a leave of absence from their course of study or complete an official withdrawal from the university should now initiate the process online. To begin the process, log in to the MyIIT portal and under the 'Academics' tab, look for the 'Academic Affairs' channel.

Three injured in avalanche on Mount WashingtonBy SARA YOUNG-KNOX
Union Leader Correspondent
January 18. 2013 9:25AM
According to White Mountain National Forest spokesman Tiffany Benna, U.S. Marine veteran Keith Zeier and an 11-member support team were climbing Central Gully in Huntington Ravine when the avalanche happened. Zeier was roped to the other two who were swept down the mountain.
"The other nine climbers were able to descend and walk out of the ravine on their own power. While this is certainly not the outcome we had hoped for, we are thankful that all in our party are safely off the mountain. We extend a heartfelt thanks to the US Forest Service and local Mountain Rescue Service personnel for their assistance, and look forward to sharing more details after we all get some rest. Thank you all for your support throughout this project!" the Facebook posting said.
The rescue call came in around 5:30 p.m. with four U.S. Forest Service Snow Rangers, 17 volunteers from the North Conway Mountain Rescue, one AMC employee, and the caretaker of the Harvard Cabin responding, Benna said. She said the rescue went well, with great teamwork, and that it was completed by 12:30 a.m. Friday.
The injured were taken by ambulance to Androscoggin Valley Hospital in Berlin.
The party of 12, she said, was roped in teams of three. Benna said the group knew of the avalanche warnings in place on Thursday because a U.S. Forest Service snow ranger talked with them and made them aware of the hazards.
Since 1956, 12 climbers have died in avalanches in the Presidential Range, one of whom was 29-year-old Albert Dow in 1982. Dow was a member of the Mountain Rescue Service and was part of search party looking for two missing climbers when he was caught in an avalanche on Jan. 25, 1982.

Epping supermarket worker arrested after brutal break room attack on female coworkerBy JASON SCHREIBER
Union Leader Correspondent
March 06. 2014 8:07PM
EPPING — A Market Basket employee who told police that "something evil came over him" is behind bars after he allegedly brutally attacked a female coworker in a break room for no apparent reason.
Samuel Woods, 20, of 153 Ash Swamp Road in Newmarket, was arrested Wednesday after police were called to the grocery store to investigate a report that a 17-year-old female employee had been choked and punched repeatedly in the face until she became unconscious.
"It was certainly a vicious, unprovoked attack," Epping police Capt. Jason Newman said Thursday.
The attack happened shortly after 5 p.m. while the teenager was in the break room on the second floor in the rear of the building, which is monitored by surveillance cameras.
The assault was caught on camera and the recording was reviewed by police.
According to the affidavit, the video shows the teenage worker sitting at a table eating while facing the hallway. At some point, Woods is seen entering the room and running toward the female with his "hands open in a choking fashion."
Woods then allegedly dove over the table and grabbed the teen by the neck, forcing her onto the floor.
He punched her "many times," police said. The video also shows the two rolling around the room.
After the attack, Woods went into a bathroom and then returned to the break room before exiting through the door, police said.
Once out of the room, police said Woods approached a second-floor platform near a stock room, removed his shoes, and jumped off the platform onto the concrete floor below. The drop was estimated to be about 18 feet. Police said his fall was broken by wooden dollies.
When police first arrived, they found Woods on the floor with blood under his head, the affidavit said.
The teenage victim, whose face was red and swollen, recalled little about the attack other than seeing a man running into the room and choking her. She told police that she had "blacked out."
According to the affidavit, Woods told Officer Jonathan Swift that "something evil came over him" when he attacked the coworker.
"Woods told Officer Swift that he may have had small talk (with the female) beforehand, but that she was polite and he had no reason to attack her," the affidavit said.
Woods told police that he didn't know the worker well, but did know her name.
He also explained that he has "had issues with women since he was young and has acted out violently before by attacking a teacher. He said he is under the care of a psychologist and is prescribed medication," the affidavit said.
Woods and the victim were transported to Exeter Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Woods was arraigned Thursday in the Brentwood Circuit Court on charges of second-degree assault, simple assault and reckless conduct. He was ordered held at the Rockingham County jail on $100,000 cash bail until he can be admitted to the state hospital for psychiatric treatment.
"We have reason to believe that this may be a mental health-related issue, but we're obligated to pursue the matter to protect the victim and the community nonetheless," Newman said.
Workers at the Epping Market Basket referred all questions to a company spokesman who could not be reached for comment.

A gift of cash, generally made by check, is the most common way of supporting WGBH. A cash gift is tax deductible as allowed by law.
Planned gifts should be considered carefully. We recommend that you consult an attorney, financial advisor, or estate planning expert in preparing your will or trust. WGBH does not provide legal or tax advice.
Personal residence or other real property, life insurance, retirement plans, or other tangible personal property may be considered for outright gifts. Each qualifies for an income tax deduction, but each has special rules for placing a value on the gift. If you are interested in making a gift using an asset of this type, please contact the Office of Gift Planning & Endowment first to determine if WGBH can accept it.
The most direct and simple way to make a gift of life insurance is to name WGBH as owner and beneficiary of an existing policy. If there are premiums to be paid, the donor will receive a current income tax deduction approximately equal to the cash surrender value of the policy. Any future premium payments paid by the donor may be deductible as a charitable gift. If the policy is paid up, the charitable income tax deduction is equal to the replacement value of the policy, subject to tax basis limitations.
Assets held in qualified retirement plans and IRA accounts can be attractive assets to contribute to WGBH. When left to friends and family members other than a spouse, these gifts can be subject to as much as 70% in taxes, including estate tax and federal and state income taxes. If a nonprofit such as WGBH is named as the beneficiary of all or a percentage of your plan, you avoid substantial estate and income taxes that would come due on the unused portion. Your other less heavily taxed assets are then available to pass on to loved ones.
Our Gift Planning staff is available to work with your professional advisors to explore your best options for giving. Please contact the Office of Gift Planning & Endowment at email@example.com or 800-220-7122. WGBH is located at One Guest Street, Boston, MA, 02135.

The time issue was a cut and past error, My apologies. A telebridge is when the ISS uses the amateur radio to talk to a ground station and it tied into a phone patch so the school does not have to get up at 3 AM in order to have a direct pass. Sometimes the telebridge option is used when no third party arrangements are available for the school. Does that help?

Negotiators, Cliff Divers Race Each Other
That sputtering sound you hear in Washington is the sound of the deficit-reduction talks trying to get rolling again.
That other noise? Oh, that's the sound of a growing number of partisans on both sides strapping on parachutes, because they would be just as happy to go over the fiscal cliff that will be reached if those talks fail.

Ted Cruz Right Wing Nut Job
Ted Cruz is a Right Wing Religious Fanatic who believes he was Destined for Greatness and an Anointed King who will bring about the End of Times Transfer of Wealth
Ted Cruz may be one of the most dangerous persons to ever run for president. He believes he is an 'anointed king' to bring about the "End of Times Transfer of Wealth".
Ted Cruz is one of the biggest liars ever to run for president. Here's a list of false statements made by Ted Cruz as reported by PolitiFact – http://politifact.com/personalities/ted-cruz/statements/byruling/false/.
Rafael Cruz, Ted's Dad brainwashed his son into believing that God Destined Him For Greatness. Ted Cruz claims to credits his Iowa presidential primary victory to divine intervention.
Rafael Cruz described his son's political campaign as a direct fulfillment of biblical prophecy. Ted Cruz therefore believes he was destined to be President and believes he is entitled to be president because it's the will of God that he becomes President.
Like ISIS, he believes in no separation between Church and State.
Ted Cruz is a wolf in sheep's clothing. He's cunning and very careful about picking & choosing his words. He doesn't speak like a normal person… he speaks in sound byte phrases.
Have you ever noticed Ted Cruz's strange quirk when he talks and people applauds?
Electing this lunatic would be a catastrophic mistake.
