Use this guide to replace a broken or noisy fan.
Remove the following ten screws:
Two 8 mm 5-point Pentalobe screws
Eight 2.5 mm 5-point Pentalobe screws
When you say:
Remove the following ten screws:
Two 8 mm 5-point Pentalobe screws
Eight 2.5 mm 5-point Pentalobe screws
Do the 8mm & 2.5mm dimensions refer to the LENGTH of those screws, or the size of the pentalobe? That is, are there other sizes of pentalobe drivers like there are for hex, phillips and torx? When only one dimension is provided, it is usually the socket/driver size, not the screw length, maybe since the length cannot be seen when the screw is installed.
Can I suggest that you clarify your instructions so folks are confident they are only in need of _one_ pentalobe driver?
Nerdily yours,
Larry (whose iPhone 4S can now get through a day without 6 recharges thanks to ifixit.com ;-)
The 8mm and 2.5mm are the length of the screws. One pentalobe P5 screwdriver suffices for all the screws (P5 is implicitly the size of the pentalobe screw heads).
I sourced all the parts from ifixit, plus a magnetic project mat which I found to be very useful for organising the teardown and reassembly.
The magnetic mat is
Wedge your fingers between the display and the lower case and pull upward to pop the lower case off the Air.
Use the flat end of a spudger to pry both short sides of the battery connector upward to disconnect it from its socket on the logic board.
Bend the battery cable slightly away from the logic board so the connector will not accidentally bend back and make contact with its socket.
Use the flat end of a spudger to pry the left and right I/O board cable connectors up off their respective sockets on the I/O board.
Lift and remove the I/O board cable.
Use the tip of a spudger to carefully push on each side of the iSight camera cable connector to loosen it out of its socket on the logic board.
Peel the iSight camera cable up off the adhesive securing it to the fan.

Second Year of School Funding Formula Includes Largest-Ever Basic Education Funding Increase
HARRISBURG – Gov. Edward G. Rendell has signed a bipartisan education budget that fulfills Pennsylvania's commitment to the school funding formula enacted by the General Assembly last year, continues to invest in the programs that are proven to boost student achievement, and makes wise use of federal stimulus funds to avoid local budget cuts and to build momentum in improving the commonwealth's schools.
"Pennsylvania is leading the nation in the gains our students are making in math and reading, and I refused to sign a budget that would bring an end to this progress," Rendell said. "We can all be proud of the education budget that the General Assembly approved because it maintains the great progress our students and teachers are making, and it protects local property taxpayers from bearing an even greater burden of education costs."
As a result of funding approved by the General Assembly, the number of school districts spending less than $8,500 per pupil – the first adequacy benchmark set by the state four years ago – has dropped from 297 school districts in 2003 to zero during the last school year. Over the same period, Pennsylvania was the only state in the nation to make progress in elementary, middle and high school reading and math, according to the independent Center on Education Policy.
The 2009-10 education budget includes a $300 million increase in the state's core funding formula for basic education, the largest increase in Pennsylvania history. It also preserves the programs that have been most effective in increasing student achievement, including Pennsylvania Pre-K Counts and Accountability Block Grants, which are responsible for nearly doubling the proportion of kindergartners in full-day programs.
"Just like every other part of state government, our education budget felt real pain as a result of the national recession," Rendell added. "We had to make extraordinarily difficult choices, and programs that I care deeply about – including the Governor's Schools of Excellence, Classrooms for the Future, and our hallmark tutoring initiative – all faced cuts or elimination."
Putting Adequate Resources in Our Classrooms, Preventing Property Tax Hikes
In its first two years, Pennsylvania's school funding formula has invested $574 million in closing the adequacy gap – while helping local communities avoid an average 5.5 percent property tax increase.
The funding formula implements the results of a landmark study that the General Assembly ordered in 2006 to determine the level of resources needed in each of Pennsylvania's school districts. The legislature enacted the predictable funding system as part of last year's budget agreement, setting a goal in law to fully fund the formula within six years.
"The General Assembly's Costing-Out Report provides a blueprint for student success and for the state to pay its fair share of school funding," according to Rendell. "Eliminating the adequacy gap will enable Pennsylvania to close the achievement gap."
Pennsylvania's school funding formula includes strong accountability for the use of new funding, ensuring that every taxpayer dollar is maximized to increase student achievement. School districts are required to invest in programs that are proven to boost student learning, including pre-kindergarten, full-day kindergarten, tutoring and other strategies to increase classroom time, and updated curricula and advanced courses.
Continuing to Invest in Early Childhood Education
Despite cuts across the state budget, the 2009-10 spending plan maintains funding for Pennsylvania's three core early childhood programs: Pennsylvania Pre-K Counts, the Head Start Supplemental Assistance Program, and the Accountability Block Grant. Together, they will make it possible for 20,000 children to experience high-quality pre-kindergarten and for an estimated two-thirds of 5-year-olds to enroll in full-day kindergarten.
"Early childhood education is the foundation of our academic progress," Rendell said. "Every dollar that we invest today generates enormous future savings by avoiding unnecessary special education costs, dropouts, unemployment, criminal justice expenditures and lost tax revenue."
The 2009-10 education budget maintains 2008-09 funding levels for all three programs:
• $86.4 million for Pre-K Counts, enabling 11,800 children to enroll in pre-kindergarten;
• $39.5 million for Head Start, supporting 5,700 children in this proven federal program; and
• $271.4 million for the Accountability Block Grant, which funds 2,900 pre-kindergarten slots, 52,600 children in full-day kindergarten, and smaller class size for 16,000 students.
Ensuring Every High School Diploma is a Ticket to Success
Pennsylvania's budget continues a major modernization of the high school experience, giving students the skills they need to succeed in college or in the workforce after graduation.
The budget Rendell signed into law will enable thousands of high school students to earn college credit through the Dual Enrollment program, funded at $8 million.
And while state funding for Classrooms for the Future was eliminated due to the budget crisis, federal stimulus funding will make $25 million available to school districts seeking to provide students with laptops, help teachers use this new technology to improve classroom instruction, and make other technology upgrades.
The enacted budget also includes the resources needed to continue developing a model voluntary curriculum and tools for teachers to identify where students need extra help, and to begin work on Keystone Exams – assessments that students can take in place of high school final exams when they finish a course – that will be made available at no cost to school districts and which school districts will have the option to use.
Making College More Affordable for Pennsylvania Families
The Governor and General Assembly shielded higher education from deep budget cuts in order to protect families during tough economic times while enacting a new state law to help save on tuition bills.
PHEAA Grants to Students – the state's tuition grant program – will receive nearly the same level of funding as 2008-09: $403.6 million, a less than 1 percent reduction. At the same time, Pennsylvania students will receive an additional $262 million in Pell Grants as a result of the federal stimulus package.
The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education will be able to spend $519.2 million in 2009-10 through combined state and federal funding – the same level that Governor Rendell proposed in February – and the community colleges will be funded at $235.7 million.
In addition, the budget legislation includes a dramatic expansion of Pennsylvania's successful Transfer & Articulation System, which ensures that students receive the maximum possible credits when they move from one college to another. Nearly 3 in 5 college students start at one institution and finish at another, yet loss of credit when they transfer drives up tuition costs for Pennsylvania families.
Under the new law, students will be able to transfer from community colleges to the State System and earn full credit entering as a university junior and, for the first time, Penn State, the University of Pittsburgh and Temple University will participate in the state's transfer system by agreeing to accept and fully recognize 30 course credits in time for the next academic year.
"Families and college students lose out when they have to take extra credits – and pay extra tuition – as a result of transferring to a new university," Rendell said. "Pennsylvania's higher education institutions are working together to eliminate this 'transfer tax,' and I am grateful for their leadership as well as to the legislators who championed the reform."
Using Stimulus Funds to Advance Reform, Avoid Budget Cuts
Rendell said that funding from President Obama's American Recovery & Reinvestment Act, or ARRA, was critical to avoiding deep state and local education budget cuts, and that the enacted 2009-10 budget lives up to the state's responsibility to make the best use of these temporary resources to continue increasing achievement in Pennsylvania schools.
The 2009-10 budget includes a total of $748 million from the State Fiscal Stabilization Fund for education:
• $300 million to implement the second year of Pennsylvania's school funding formula;
• $355 million to avoid deep cuts in education funding; and
• $93 million to restore funding to public institutions of higher education.
The budget also provides school districts with $772 million in temporary stimulus funds for low-income students and for special education students.
"We are committed to using these vital resources with two goals in mind: first, we will spur innovation and improvement in our schools; and, second, we will invest these stimulus funds in a fiscally responsible manner that prepares for the disappearance of funding in just two short years," Rendell said.
Within the next several days, Rendell will submit Pennsylvania's revised State Fiscal Stabilization Fund application to the U.S. Department of Education in order to draw down the bulk of these federal funds.

Despite some funding and organizational backing, agencies' involvement described as zero
The efforts of a public/private working group to combat the fast-spreading Conficker worm offer a model for future cyber defense, but the federal government made little contribution, according to a study commissioned by the Homeland Security Department.
The Conficker Working Group is an ad hoc organization of more than 30 companies and Internet registrars, universities and government agencies, including the FBI and Homeland Security Department. They came together in early 2009 to combat what has been described as one of the largest and most serious cybersecurity threats of the past decade.
The group reported success in preventing Conficker's author from gaining control of its botnet, although the group was unsuccessful in remediating the millions of infected computers.
DHS' Science and Technology Directorate commissioned a report on lessons learned from the effort to help identify best practices. The study was conducted by Rendon Group and completed in June, but the report was only recently released publicly.
"In coordinating to stop the botnet threat, the CWG became a model for cyber defense," the report concludes. "Thanks to this effort, we can glean a number of valuable lessons to guide how future efforts may be initiated, organized and managed."
Related coverage:
Has Conficker spurred a new model for security response?
But federal collaboration was found lacking. One person interviewed for the report described the government's participation as "zero involvement, zero activity, zero knowledge." Information sharing was described as one-way, with information going to the government and little returning. Any real information sharing between the working group and government generally was on a personal basis between individuals rather than at an organizational level.
Nevertheless, the government did fund some reverse engineering efforts on the malware.
Conficker appeared in 2008 and gained attention because of its rapid rate of infection and use of advanced techniques to spread and communicate, taking advantage of things such as the Domain Name System, encrypted peer-to-peer communications and auto-run capabilities. It appeared to be a well-designed piece of malicious code. Although it was intended to create a botnet that continually upgraded itself, its ultimate purpose and its author are still not known.
One of the working group's early actions was to register or block domains that the worm would use for command and control. As part of that effort, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, a working group member, for the first time agreed to waive mandatory registration fees for Conficker domains so that the working group could preempt the command and control system. That cooperation was cited as one of the primary reasons for the working group's success.
"The Conficker Working Group sees its biggest success as preventing the author of Conficker from gaining control of the botnet," the report states. "Nearly every person interviewed for this report said this aspect of the effort has been successful. The blocking of domains continues and the Working Group has indicated they will maintain their effort."
The group's biggest failure was its inability to remediate infected computers and eliminate the botnet. In spite of remediation efforts, millions of computers remain infected.
According to the responses of the working group, the elements that worked included:
Elements that did not work, in addition to the lack of effective federal cooperation, included:
The Conficker Working Group still is in operation and continues to block tens of thousands of domains per day to disrupt the Conficker command systems. One member told interviewers the group "will remain in place while the threat is out there."

"Perhaps the conficker trojan was written by a paranoid government to spy on internet traffic. if no author has stepped up after this long to brag"
The last thing organized crime wants to do is brag about their misdeeds. And if an entity wanted to spy on internet traffic, conficker would be a lousy way to do it.
Perhaps the conficker trojan was written by a paranoid government to spy on internet traffic. if no author has stepped up after this long to brag maybe thats the reason for no support by our government ? food for thought
What was the gubment supposed to do within the group that it failed to do?
What was the root problem -- lack of agency commitment (time, perhaps) or appointment of the wrong person, or ?

All I want is the truth. Just gimme some truth.
–John Lennon
Florida's electoral mishegoss lends itself to the exploration of an issue that receives no attention in the media and yet underlies virtually everything its members do. I speak to you, dear reader, of the Meaning of Truth.
Ever since Fox's John Ellis began the mistaken media stampede for his cousin George W. Bush's victory on election night, reporters, producers and executives have spun themselves silly trying to describe a situation that is ultimately an epistemological bottomless pit. There is no single "truth" about who won Florida. From the point of view of "institutional truth," we began without clear rules or precedents for measuring the vote, whether they include dimple-counting, partially punched chads or butterfly ballots. I am convinced Gore carried the will of the people, but I'm guessing that Lady Katherine Harris Macbeth would rather contract rabies than accept my admittedly subjective interpretation. From the perspective of "brute truth," however, the difference between the Bush/Gore numbers turns out to be so small that it will never exceed the count's margin of error. What we are seeing, therefore, is not a process of objective measurement but a contest of raw power. The Democrats use the courts and the law. The Republicans rely on rent-a-mobs, partisan hacks and power-hungry allies in the state legislature and Congress. Guess which side is bound to win?
Our media coverage admits none of this, because it is committed to a fairy-tale version of truth and objectivity that separates "fact" and "opinion" but cannot fathom anything in between. When Tim Russert declared on November 26 that George Bush "has now been declared the official winner of the Florida election…and therefore he is the 43rd President of the United States," he was making a statement that could not have been true when he made it. (Even Bush understood that he was only playing a President-elect on TV.) But the feared and celebrated Russert knew that his words were bound by only the narrowest definition of "truth." He could always take it back later.
The attachment to the idea of attainable objective "truth" on the part of American journalism is partially responsible for its frequent brainlessness. As NYU's Jay Rosen points out, "objectivity as a theory of how to arrive at the truth is bankrupt intellectually…. Everything we've learned about the pursuit of truth tells us that in one way or another the knower is incorporated into the known." (Remember Heisenberg? Remember Einstein?) The famous 1920s debate between Walter Lippmann and John Dewey shed considerable light on this problem, with Lippmann arguing for a "spectator" theory of reality and Dewey arguing for a more consensual one, arrived at through discourse and debate.

Typical big, brawny, loud, futuristic action movie. Stallone is still playing the brawn over brains route - albeit with cooler weapons. Still, nothing elevates this above sci-fi kitsch. You can do so much better.

Still a fun watch!
The story is set in the futuristic 'Mega-City' , a hugely expanded New York City where local law enforcement have the right to 'judge' in the field rather than let the perpetrator run free until a lazy jury finds them innocent. Judge Dredd (Sly Stallone) is the best and most feared of these judge until he is wrongly accused of murder. He is sent to prison for life, but manages to get free. He then faces the challenge to prove that he is innocent, with the help of Judge Hershey (Diane Lane), an extremely good Judge and Lawyer, Rob Schneider, a funny computer hacker who was convicted by Dredd and the support of Chief Justice Fargo (Max Von Sydow). He has to fight against one of the more evil criminal minds in his time, Rico (Armand Assante), and an army of cloned judges. The special effects...

"Judge Dredd" by Yojimbo
Judge Dredd is based on the character featured in British comic book 2000AD (how futuristic!) about a fascistic lawman who exercises his status as judge, jury and executioner in a bustling, overpopulated future city. This character was actually crying out for the big screen treatment, and it comes SO CLOSE to working. The action sequences are thrilling, production design fantastic (particularly the depiction of the Judges, Hammerstein and Mean Angel which are all spot on) and Stallone's physical presence suits the part down to the ground. But as is always the way with Hollywood blockbusters, it's the script that lets us down. It begins really well, but soon descends into nonsense as a helmetless Sly gets in touch with his feminine side in the company of an unbelievably irritating and unfu...

Sociology and Criminal Justice
The primary purpose of the sociology program is to provide concrete occasions and intellectual resources that can help students understand the social and cultural dimensions of human behavior. By focusing on the concepts, theories and techniques of inquiry employed by sociologists, we hope to foster the sociological perspective. The department provides a great number of support courses which are designed to serve other major programs, and every course offered is intended to serve the general goals of liberal arts education.
Criminal Justice
Criminal justice is a wide-ranging field that is primarily concerned with understanding the origins, nature and consequences of criminal behavior and of societal reactions to crime. As a profession it focuses on careers directly related to social institutions of law, law enforcement, and the legal system. Students will find that the criminal justice program offers a core of basic and allied courses which will provide a practical liberal arts perspective of this growing field.
Major(s): Sociology, Criminal Justice

Pennsylvania Attorney General Refuses To Defend Same-Sex Marriage Ban
We love seeing politicians take a stand for equality!
Pennsylvania's Attorney General Kathleen Kane has officially gone on record with her refusal to defend the state's same-sex marriage ban in the court case brought by the ACLU. The ACLU suit asks a federal judge to prevent state officials from stopping gay couples from getting married and to force the state to recognize the marriages of same-sex couples who wed in other jurisdictions.
According to the Associated Press:
Pennsylvania's elected attorney general said Thursday that she will not defend the state law effectively banning same-sex marriage from a legal challenge in federal court, meaning the task will be left up to Gov. Tom Corbett.
"I cannot ethically defend the constitutionality of Pennsylvania's (law banning same-sex marriage), where I believe it to be wholly unconstitutional," Kathleen Kane announced to reporters at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia on Thursday.
Under Pennsylvania law, it is the attorney general's duty to defend the constitutionality of state laws. But the law also says the attorney general may allow lawyers for the governor's office or executive-branch agencies to defend a lawsuit if it is more efficient or in the state's best interests.
Kane, a Democrat who supports same-sex marriage, said she will leave the job to Corbett, a Republican who opposes same-sex marriage. Both were named in a lawsuit filed in federal court Tuesday seeking to overturn the law and legalize same-sex marriage in Pennsylvania.
Corbett's office has declined to comment on the lawsuit.
What do you think, Instincters? Will Pennsylvania's Republican governor defend the same-sex marriage ban? (This seems like a replay of the Obama administration refusing to defend DOMA and then the GOP controlled House wasted millions of dollars defending the law that was ultimately deemed unconstitutional.)
Good job, Attorney General Kane!

CSX Corporation (NASDAQ:CSX), the Florida-based railroad company, is set to release its financial performance for the September quarter on 17th October 2017 ((CSX Corporation Announces Dates For Third-Quarter Earnings Release and Earnings Call, CSX News Release)). While the market expects CSX to post an annual improvement in its earnings driven by the rebound in coal shipments, the company is likely to witness a drop in its results on a sequential basis due to its deteriorating operating performance during the quarter(Read: Deteriorating Operating Performance Could Hamper CSX's Market Value).
See Our Complete Analysis For CSX Corporation Here
- CSX Corporation Will Likely See Steady Growth In The Near Term Led By Volume And Pricing Gains Across Segments
- What To Expect From CSX Corporation's Q3 Results
- A Look At CSX Corporation's Industrial Freight Segment
- A Snapshot of CSX Corporation's Business And Outlook
- CSX Corporation's Q2 Earnings Beat Led By Continued Cost Cutting Measures And Better Pricing
- What To Watch For In CSX Corporation's Q2?
Key Trends Witnessed During 3Q'17
According to CSX's weekly shipment data, its coal and coke shipments continued to grow in the third quarter, driven by the rebound in demand for coal due to the rising natural gas prices and favorable government policies. Further, the company's intermodal shipment volumes, which represents the shipments of containerized cargo both for domestic and international markets, also increased about 4% during the quarter. However, this growth was more than offset by the decline in the agricultural, industrial, and construction shipments, which pulled down the company's overall shipments by 0.5% for the third quarter.
In addition to the lower shipments, the average Brent crude oil prices for the quarter dropped around 8.5% (calculated based on two-month lagged prices) compared to the previous quarter. As a result, the company is likely to experience a decline in its fuel surcharge revenue for the quarter. With lower shipments and reduced fuel surcharge revenue, we expect CSX's 3Q'17 revenues to remain weak compared to the previous quarter.
Apart from this, CSX's operational performance has suffered significantly in the last couple of months, unlike the previous quarter, where the new CEO's 'Precision Scheduled Railroading' initiative resulted in notable productivity improvements. For instance, the company's train velocity, or speed, which stood at 15.6 miles per hour (mph) at the beginning of the quarter, fell to 13.3 mph at the end of August. While the company is making efforts to improve its operational indicators, we expect its third quarter earnings to be pulled down by its poor performance during the quarter. Besides, CSX's customer inquiries have gone up sharply from 354 at the beginning of July to around 500 at the end of August. Thus, in order to pacify the upset clients and local authorities, CSX has changed its methodology to estimate various key indicators previously reported on the American Association of Railroads (AAR) website. While this will enable the company to window-dress some of its operational metrics, it will hamper direct peer comparison for the investors, which reflects poorly on the part of the company.
Source: Google Finance
Thus, we believe that lower shipments and fuel surcharge revenue is expected to weigh on CSX's top line for the third quarter. Further, the company's weak operational performance during the quarter is likely to drag down its third quarter earnings. If the company does not take corrective measures to enhance its performance soon enough, it is likely to lose the premium that it had received because of the appointment of its new CEO and also might end up losing a part of its market share to its competitors.

Being on the other side at Accountex
Louise Bowman is Partner Implementation Manager at FreeAgent. Previously she was Head of Accountancy Services at a large accountancy practice that had over 2,000 clients using FreeAgent. Louise joined the team of FreeAgent staff who attended the 2015 Accountex exhibition. Together with FreeAgent's Business Development Director Kevin McCallum, Louise delivered a seminar on "how to take back control of your clients' books and improve your business" to a packed audience.
On the 13th & 14th May I made the familiar journey to East London for the annual Accountex exhibition. Rather than wearing my usual accountant's uniform of trousers and a blazer, this year I was dressed in jeans and a FreeAgent rugby top!
My clothes may have been relaxed, but I was far from it - the anticipation of speaking to hundreds of people is daunting! It turned out there was no time for nerves though, it was all go from the moment the doors opened at 10am. We were delighted that so many accountants came to visit our stand and it was such a thrill to introduce fellow accountants to the software and give them a demo for the first time.
The theatres all seemed to be busy, which was great for my talk with Kevin about taking back control of your clients' books and improving your business. I have to thank all the friendly faces who came and watched the seminar. I really appreciated the opportunity to talk with other accountants about my journey onto the cloud.
Interestingly, around half the seminar attendees each day didn't have any clients using a cloud solution; however, everyone I spoke to was eager and open to learn more, which was great news! I really believe the developments in cloud accounting are exciting for the accounting profession.
Something I found especially interesting was that more and more people are looking at multiple cloud products to ensure they can offer the best solution for their clients' businesses - one size definitely doesn't fit all when it comes to cloud accounting! Some accountants, however, were still concerned about allowing their clients to manage their own bookkeeping. I had several discussions with accountants about the importance of choosing a solution that was simple for their clients to use. Software that doesn't assume any accounting knowledge for the end user can save a huge amount of time and administrative overheads but it's also important to have functionality for accountants to provide added value.
My two days at Accountex flew by and the FreeAgent team all had a fantastic time. My only regret was that due to how busy Accountex was this year there was very little time for me to explore and visit some of the other stands. There was a great buzz around the area where we were exhibiting and I have to say I had an excellent time on 'the other side' of Accountex!

Program Summary
Summer Stipends support individuals pursuing advanced research that is of value to humanities scholars, general audiences, or both. Recipients usually produce articles, monographs, books, digital materials, archaeological site reports, translations, editions, or other scholarly resources. These awards are for the summer of 2017. Summer Stipends support continuous full-time work on a humanities project for a period of two consecutive months and the work may be at any stage of development.
NEH invites projects related to its new initiative, The Common Good: The Humanities in the Public Square. This initiative seeks to connect the study of the humanities to the current conditions of national life. Many of today's challenges require more than ever the forms of understanding and knowledge represented by the humanities. They require the broadest possible engagement of scholars and the public with the resources of the humanities, including but not limited to the study of language, literature, history, philosophy, comparative religion, and ethics. The study of the humanities can help illuminate the complexity of many contemporary challenges while enriching our understanding of the common good. Note that the Common Good initiative incorporates the Standing Together initiative, which encourages projects related to war and military service. All applications will be given equal consideration in accordance with the program's evaluation criteria, whether or not they respond to the Common Good initiative or the Standing Together initiative.
Awards: Summer Stipends are awarded to individual scholars. Awards are for $6,000 for two consecutive months of full-time research and writing. Summer Stipends recipients may hold other research grants during the tenure of their awards, but they must work full-time on their projects during the two months of their tenure. Summer Stipends normally support work carried out during the summer months, but arrangements can be made for holding tenure at other times of the year. NOTE: These awards are to individuals, not institutions. Grant recipients are responsible for all tax liabilities.
Eligibility: Please review the following eligibility criteria and program restrictions prior to submitting internal LOI:
- U.S. citizens are eligible.
- Foreign nationals who have been living in the United States or its jurisdictions for at least the three years prior to the time of application are eligible.
- Individuals currently enrolled in a degree-granting program are ineligible.
- Individuals who have held a major fellowship or research grant or its equivalent within the last three academic years prior to the deadline are ineligible. A "major fellowship or research grant" is a postdoctoral research award that provides a stipend of at least $15,000. Sabbaticals and grants from an individual's own institution and stipends and grants from other sources supporting study and research during the summer are not considered major fellowships.
- Individuals who have previously received a Summer Stipend may apply to support a new stage in their project. These applications will be judged by the same criteria as other applications.
Restrictions: Summer Stipends awards cannot be used for:
- projects that seek to promote a particular political, religious, or ideological point of view;
- projects that advocate a particular program of social action;
- specific policy studies; research for doctoral dissertations or theses by students enrolled in a degree program;
- the preparation or revision of textbooks;
- curriculum development; the development of pedagogical tools (including teaching methods or theories);
- educational or technical impact assessments;
- empirical social science research, unless part of a larger humanities project;
- inventories of collections;
- the writing of guide books, how-to books, and self-help books;
- autobiographies, memoirs, or works of creative nonfiction;
- or works in the creative or performing arts (e.g., painting, writing fiction or poetry, dance performance).

"Have you ever seen a tornado?" It's one of the standard questions I have fielded over the years, when people learn I'm from Kansas. The answer is no, and the disappointed inquirer usually moves on to other topics. But few people have thought to ask me if I have been in a tornado, to which I would have to answer yes—at least, within two city blocks of one.
Mine is not a spectacular story. Most people who survived the Hoisington tornado, or any other large-scale twister, have far more amazing accounts. Like Heather, my former classmate in the purple jacket above, who was providentially out of her house that night when it was lifted off its foundation and a neighbor's car was flipped into the basement. These stories are still told around town. Any time there is a lull in conversation, one can always bring up "the tornado." Some of these stories were featured in national news coverage, and NPR's "This American Life" even aired a 25-minute feature.
I can't compete with those. And I'm glad!—boring is better when it comes to personal involvement in natural disasters. But it's my story, and I tell it on this April 21 anniversary to remember God's steadfast watch-care, and to honor the tenacity and good will of folks in America's heartland. And also to remind you to heed your local weather man when he tells you to take cover.
It was a Saturday evening like this, eleven years ago. I was a high school senior but since I was homeschooled the last few years, I wasn't heading to the prom like most other kids my age. The day had been exceptionally windy and conditions were ripe for violent weather. A tornado watch had been issued, but I don't think a tornado warning. (A watch signifies that tornadoes could form; a warning means a tornado has been confirmed on the ground nearby.) If the city sirens sounded, they were too late, drowned out by the powerful storm that abruptly slammed into the town.
Mom and I were watching from inside the house as the wind and rain picked up. There was little to see, as the sun had set and the storm reduced visibility to a minimum, but the noise was tremendous. I noticed suddenly that it was not just rain or hail pounding the windows any more; it was clumps of mud and debris. Later, we figured out that was from the tornado touching down less than a mile away and rapidly moving closer.
Above the wind Mom yelled, "Let's get downstairs." We quickly made our way toward the stairs, where we met Dad, who had the same urgent idea. That's when the 2x4 came crashing through the patio door and landed at our feet.
If there had been any doubt left, that eliminated it. Fifteen seconds later, the three of us were huddled between boxes and the water heater in our small basement. The electricity was out, but Dad switched on a battery-operated radio and we listened to the familiar voices of the nearby station urging Hoisington residents to take cover. But by then, the tornado was headed out of town, having changed it forever in the span of three minutes.
After a short time, Dad ventured upstairs again and returned with a wet and shivering Trixie, who had survived the storm inside her blessedly sturdy doghouse. "It's too dark to see, but it seems like there's a lot of damage," he reported. We waited a while until the all-clear was given on the radio, and then emerged from the basement to the sounds of neighbors exchanging shouts of "You okay over there?"
Our immediate neighborhood had survived, but the streets were impassable and there was nothing to do but wait for morning. I lay in bed for a long time, sweltering in the still air and listening to the unusual silence, punctuated occasionally by the distant sounds of people shouting, and the glints of far-off flashlights.
I don't think anyone in town slept much that night. One man had been killed in the tornado. Those who had been hit hardest were being pulled from basements and bathtubs. The rest of us braced ourselves for what daylight would reveal.

One of the most important decisions you'll make as a beginner is which Guitar you should go with. There are an incredible number of options out there, in a variety of different price ranges. No matter how much you are willing to spend right now, there are some key things you will need to keep in mind.
One is that you can find some really great deals on Guitars. Just know that you need something high quality. It will be overly frustrating for you to try to Guitar1000.hop.clickbank.net/'>play well on a poor instrument!
While you might be motivated to save money, know that if you have a Guitar you really like you will likely be more motivated to continue Guitar1000.hop.clickbank.net/'>playing. You will look forward to holding the Guitar and practicing and Guitar1000.hop.clickbank.net/'>playing. Do yourself a favor and get a catalog full of different Guitars to drool over — and possibly even go in to the shop to try different ones. You just might find yourself falling in love with a certain Guitar. There are some truly beautiful ones out there for great prices, and you can find them if you do your homework.
Another consideration is getting the proper size. Smaller adults and children will desperately need to take this into consideration. There are smaller and full-size Guitars available, depending on your size and your needs. Getting something that fits just right will make a big difference.
While you want to make sure you get a Guitar you will really like, beware of spending your life savings on a Guitar before you really get good at Guitar1000.hop.clickbank.net/'>playing. While some people know they will be dedicated to the Guitar for a lifetime, other people will end up choosing a different hobby. You'll be less likely to frustrate yourself if you settle with a Guitar you can afford for now.
Getting a Guitar has a lot to do with feeling. You'll probably know what Guitar is right for you as soon as you see it. Keep in mind that you'll also need some accessories to go with your new Guitar. Picks and strings are essential (strings can break, so get extras!). You'll also need an electric tuner. This will ensure you have a high quality sound when you start strumming your Guitar.
Choosing your Guitar is a very exciting event. Now you are ready to really begin learning how to Guitar1000.hop.clickbank.net/'>play the Guitar. From this point on, you can consider yourself a true Guitarist!

Eede, The Netherlands - Xeikon announces that US-based Action Packaging Systems, Inc. is the second North American and the fifth worldwide pilot site for Xeikon Cheetah technology. Xeikon's newest digital label press based on Cheetah technology -the Xeikon CX3- will complement Action Packaging's existing production platform which includes a Xeikon 3500 digital press as well as flexographic printing solutions. Action Packaging selected the Xeikon CX3 to support its mission of providing high quality products within exceptionally fast turnaround times to its customers. The outstanding speed of the press (98 ft/min or 30m/min) combined with Xeikon's reputation for reliability and quality, made Xeikon Cheetah the technology of choice for Action Packaging.
"Our customers know that we will do whatever it takes to ensure that their labels are delivered in a timely fashion, without any compromises on quality. Everything our business does supports this goal," explains Douglas E. Rice, President and CEO of Action Packaging. "That is why we chose Xeikon's next-generation digital label production technology. The speed, high-quality output and print-to-cut abilities of the Xeikon presses are the best in their class. Most importantly, the reliability of the Xeikon presses and the level of support provided by the Xeikon team ensure the maximum press uptime to make our business successful - it simply gives me peace of mind. Adding the Xeikon CX3 to our existing production was the next natural step for us."
Future-proofing the business with Xeikon Cheetah technology
Action Packaging was established in 1979 with a mission to change the paradigm of label production: deliver labels in maximum 5 days or less. "I built my entire business around providing responsive service that does whatever it takes to meet the client's needs. Our clients depend on us to be there for them, especially in critical situations," explains Rice.
This creates a highly demanding business model, but it has its rewards. Last year, the company had double-digit revenue growth, and Rice expects an even higher growth rate this year. "Our customer base continues to grow. We can only make sure to continue meeting the ever more challenging deadlines and client demands when working with fast and reliable production machines that can follow the fast pace of our business. We simply need the best equipment to get the job done, and for us that is Xeikon," says Rice. "Xeikon's commitment to innovation is great. They are on top of innovation and are constantly researching for the 'next best thing'. Partnering with Xeikon is a key element in future-proofing our business and I look forward to seeing how Xeikon Cheetah technology will take our business even further."
"We know Xeikon from experience, and they are the best in terms of quality and uptime," Rice continues. "The new Xeikon CX3 is the fastest press in its class that can deliver the type of quality we need. In our opinion, only Xeikon's digital label production technology can support the type of fast turnaround we require. The quality is outstanding and speed faster than ever. In addition, the fact that Xeikon offers continuous web-fed presses is an important criteria as print-to-cut is a critical feature for the types of labels we produce."
Digital and Flexo - a perfect match
The Xeikon CX3 will complement the current flexo and digital production fleet at Action Packaging to support its growth with additional production capacity. It will also give the company greater flexibility to shift more short-run jobs from flexo to digital production, increasing cost-efficiency and productivity.
Action Packaging has found the right balance between flexo and digital printing technologies, enabling it to choose the right press for the right job. Speed is always a factor, but other variables like color and the size of the run determine which press is used for which jobs. Advances in the performance of both digital and flexo presses please Rice. He says, "Presses today are much faster than they were five years ago. That improvement in speed has enabled us to meet the demands of our customers and grow our business. The Xeikon Cheetah technology is part of that evolution, and we are excited to be an early adopter."
Action Packaging Systems, Inc. is a dynamic, growing company in the label printing industry. The company has created an industry presence by offering rapid response to requests for quotations, quality products and systems solutions to meet its customers' needs. The company is dedicated to be its clients' one source for labels, label application equipment, printers, ribbons and accessories. Founded in 1979, Action Packaging today partners with businesses worldwide to enhance the branding of their products with high quality labels and packages produced with unrivaled speed and quality. The company operates two print manufacturing plants in Connecticut and North Carolina. A combination of digital and flexographic presses, along with a dedicated team of employees, enables Action Packaging to deliver high-quality labels to customers in days, not weeks. For more information, visit www.actionpkg.com.
Based on Xeikon Cheetah technology, the Xeikon CX3 digital label press has a top speed of 30 m/min (98 ft/min), 56% faster than any other model in the current Xeikon press portfolio. The 1200 x 3600 dpi digital press is dedicated solely to the production of self-adhesive/pressure sensitive labels. It offers all the renowned benefits that make the Xeikon 3000 Series unique, including the use of dry toners that meet FDA regulations for food contact and the ability to print opaque white toner in one pass. It also enables printing on a variety of heat-sensitive substrates due to incorporation of Xeikon's ICE toner technology which requires a much lower fusing temperature than typical toner-based presses. Xeikon presses are based on dry toner electro-photography. This enables the use of conventional substrates that do not have to be pre-treated. Extremely high toner light-fastness and truly eco-friendly printing (no VOCs) are some of the other industry leading features of the Xeikon presses for digital label and package printing. The presses offer easy integration of third-party workflow software and converting/finishing solutions and incorporate professional color management capabilities. In addition to the standard CMYK + White, the fifth station on the Xeikon CX3 can be used to print gamut expansion colors or security toner. Media weights range from 40 gsm to 350 gsm.

Ritter Medical Equipment was purchased by the manufacturer Midmark Corporation back in 1986 and is now headquartered in Versailles, Ohio. The Midmark Corporation has a long history of name changes dating back from 1915 when it was known first as The Cummings Machine Company; then, in 1921, The Industrial Equipment Company; next, IE Industries in 1967; finally settling on the name Midmark Corporation in 1978. The Midmark headquarters where Ritter Medical Equipment is made is located in Versailles, Ohio. Ritter Medical Equipment can be found at several Midmark locations throughout the world such as Ernee, France, Mumbai, India, and Quattro Castella, Italy.
Ritter Medical Equipment is known for the quality, durability, reliability and dependability of medical tools and equipment. Examination tables from Ritter became a worldwide sensation in the medical field. Equipment for doctors and dentists were also created when Ritter came under the umbrella of Midmark.
Available Ritter medical products include seats, manual examination tables, carts and cabinets, power examination tables, power procedures tables and chairs, casework, instrument processing and lighting.
There are different kinds of stools that doctors might be interested to use. The Ritter line of stools includes adjustable stools, air lift stools, adjustable physician stools, air lift surgeon stools and blood drawing chairs. These are reasonably priced without compromising quality, durability or reliability.
As for the examination tables, there are 2 kinds: manual and power exam tables. The manual examination tables are very stable and can actually support patients who are 400 pounds. The same is true with the power examination tables. The Barrier Free Power examination table is helpful especially for those who cannot use the manual table, like the elderly, pregnant women and persons with disabilities. These power exam tables are very low at a height of 18 inches.
Another type of table from Ritter is the power procedures table. Ritter is famous for the Universal Power Procedures tables and Barrier Free Bariatric Power treatment tables. Both cater to different positioning needs of the patient. Both tables are considered as great investments for hospitals and for those who want to open their own clinics.
The Ritter casework includes waste receptacles with bag retaining rings, instrument panels, dressing nooks, basic exam casework, best value exam room casework, managed care exam room casework, modular casework and the traditional exam room casework. All of these have great aesthetics and functionality.
The UltraClave Automatic Sterilizers from Ritter are very efficient and very effective for medical instruments. Infectious and harmful bacteria will surely be killed with these sterilizers. The largest sterilizer is the M11 which has the biggest autoclaving capacity and is ideal for huge instruments.
To complete the medical tools are lights, which are also important if the doctors want to give an accurate diagnosis and treatment. Ritter boasts of different kinds of lights - incandescent exam lights, halogen exam lights, LED exam lights, minor surgery spotlights and minor surgery lights. These bulbs require low wattage and still maintain the brightness needed by the health practitioners.

UKNOWN is Liam Neeson's solid companion piece to TAKEN...
Dr. Martin Harris (Liam Neeson) awakens after a car accident in Berlin to discover that his wife (January Jones) suddenly doesn't recognize him and another man (Aidan Quinn) has assumed his identity. Ignored by disbelieving authorities and hunted by mysterious assassins, he finds himself alone, tired and on the run. Talk about an identity crisis. He soons find help in the form of a spunky cab driver/hostess named Gina (Diane Kruger). Soon the two are running all over Berlin trying to solve the mystery of Martin's life and at the same time, avoid being killed. Unknown plays like a seasoned Bourne movie about a man who can't remember certain things about his life but becomes more and more resilent as the movie goes along. And it plays also like a nice companion piece to Liam's own action flick, Taken. Because once he is pushed too far, he finally begins to fight back. I liked this movie and it was nice having it take place in Berlin. A nice change of pace from America. The cast is terrific. Liam shines once again in a very demanding role that has him play confused, loving, smart and then finally bad ass. January Jones is ok, but she is absent quite a bit as the movie centers on Liam and Gina. Oh by the way I think I'm in love with Diane Kruger. She is awesome as Gina with her lilting German accent being perfect and her character as the type of woman that you just can't walk away from. Unknown is a solid thriller.

Rosa Parks insightfully said, "Each person must live their life as a model for others." Like her, I believe that everyone serves as a role model for someone else; they might not know it, but they do. A lot of younger siblings look up to their older brothers and sisters because they want to be just like them. I looked up to my older sisters when I was younger, and I still do today.
When I was in 3rd grade, I would sneak into my older sister's room when she wasn't home. I would try on her clothes and put on her make up. I looked up to her, and I wanted to be exactly like her. When she let me wear her clothes or offered to do my hair in the morning before school, I was the happiest little girl ever. Wearing her clothes or having her do my hair the way she did her hair made me feel special. I went to school and told all my friends that I was wearing my sister's clothes, and they thought it was the coolest thing ever. I copied everything my sister did and it probably annoyed her at times, but she didn't make a big deal out of it.
I looked up to my sisters, and I am pretty sure my younger sister and younger cousins look up to me. I learned to live my life as a good role model when my little cousin repeated a word I had said. When I was babysitting my baby cousins one day, I accidently dropped a glass plate on the floor and yelled out a curse word. My little two year old cousin heard me and started saying the word. I tried to stop him from saying it and told him it was a bad word. Every time he did something bad, we would put him in timeout, so he told me I should go to timeout since I had said a bad word. I ended up going to timeout in the corner, because it was the only way to make him stop saying the curse word. That day, I realized that we are all role models and we don't know when the people who look up to us are watching.
Today, I try to live my life as a role model for others all the time. I don't want to do anything bad in front of my younger cousins, and I don't want to disappoint anyone. I hope other people can realize that they are role models. I hope they look at all the people they look up to or the people who look up to them. We are all role models for someone, and that is why I have to do what is right all the time. Someone who looks up to us can be watching us when we don't know they are. That is the reason why I take Mrs. Parks advice and live my life as a model for others. You might not know it, but you are a role model for someone. Everyone is. And this means that we are able to change their lives. It can be in a good or bad way, but we can change their lives.

Billionaire businessman Wayne Huizenga expects the stock market to rise between 5 and 10 percent over the next 12 months, he told CNBC Friday.
"I'm excited about where the stock market's going," said Huizenga, chairman of Huizenga Holdings. "That gives a lot of ammunition for companies to do what they want to do."
He said that between 5 and 10 percent growth is "pretty good from where we've been," considering, he said, how much the market has been through during the financial crisis and during the fallout from it.

1994 Mazda MX-5 Miata: Preventative Maintenance
June 01, 2010
Not unexpectedly, Project Miata has some worn-out underpinnings. Old cars are like that.
It could be argued that this oozing tie rod end is still serviceable -- hey, there's no real play in the joint, and the grease is... well, there's still grease left. But we'll use this image as a good excuse to swap 'em out with new tie rod ends from the LE / R-package cars. Slightly longer (and a whole lot fresher) than the stock Miata tie rod ends, these will reduce bump steer somewhat on our lowered car and lower the blood pressure of our Risk Management department staff.
Other preventative maintenance we'll tackle at the same time: upper control arms and new wheel bearings.
What's up with the control arms? During the suspension overhaul, I noticed that one of this car's front upper balljoints has about 1/16" of axial play. And you can hear it rattling when you drive it over rough pavement. Since Miatas have their upper front balljoint integrated into the control arm, they're not serviced separately -- you simply buy new control arms when the balljoints go bad. On the plus side, the new control arms also come with fresh bushings.
A sticky-tired Miata that's driven hard (particularly on a track) will go through wheel bearings faster than do many other cars. As such Spec Miata guys are fastidious about their replacement even though they repack their bearings with high-temp synthetic grease.
Our bearings are very likely original and if so have 176,000 miles on them. They're not roaring, but Miata wheel bearings can be totally shot and not make noise. Also, determining a bearing's health using the ol' grab-and-shake-the-tire technique doesn't always work on a Miata for some reason. What you do get just before the bearings are ready to completely self-destruct is crummy turn-in and accelerated tire wear. So, while we're in there...

CkHttp::Download is periodically failing for one of my customers that has a slow internet connection. Apparently there are lots of people on their connection at times. This is part of a "check for updates" feature in my app which first downloads a small text file with the version info and then downloads the necessary replacement ZIP file (1-2MB). The small text file always succeeds but most of the time the larger file fails on download for this customer. No other customers report any download issues so I believe it's associated with their internet connection being slow and perhaps a timeout used by CkHttp during the download process needing to be lengthened.
The following is the error message when the download fails(the actual URL has been changed for security reasons):
ERROR: ChilkatLog:
The user reports that it fails after about 20 seconds which is what the timeout in the error message indicates. But I'm wondering if there is some other timeout involved that needs to be adjusted since Internet Explorer has no problem retrieving the file via the same URL.
As a side note, I'm linking to ver 11 of the Chilkat libs although it shows in the above error that it's version 9. Why wouldn't it be 11.x?
Thanks, Phil

My guess is that you simply need to increase the timeout.
I'm not sure where you see "version 11"? Maybe you're thinking of the version of Visual C++ itself (VC++ 11.0)? The version of Chilkat would have nothing to do with the version of Visual C++. (In other words, Chilkat v9.4.1 is offered for many versions of Visual C++)
If you wish to potentially see better information in LastErrorText, here is a new pre-release that may be better in this respect:

chilkat ♦♦
Ok, I'll increase the timeout and see if that helps them.
You're right on the version, my mistake. I was linking to the libs in the ChilkatVC11 folder and without thinking about it thought it was ver 11 of Chilkat which obviously it's VC11 instead.
Thanks, Phil

MURRYSVILLE, PA --A man has been jailed on charges that he took up residence in a $500,000 western Pennsylvania home without the owner's permission. Frederick Harris III, of Wilmerding, remained in the Westmorland County Prison Friday on burglary, criminal trespass and criminal mischief charges filed Wednesday when Murrysville police say they found him in the home.
Police say the 43-year-old Harris had toured the home with a real estate agent who refused to give him keys. He later broke a window, pulled up the 'for sale' sign and moved in anyway. Police were alerted when a caretaker noticed someone in the house.
Police Chief Thomas Seefeld tells the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review that Harris' "car was in the garage. He had personal items in the home. He basically was making a home there."
Online court records don't list an attorney for Harris.

Before parshat Chaya Sarah (this past Shabbos), I had the opportunity to visit the Marat HaMachpela - the cave of the patriarchs and matriarchs - in Hebron. Things being relatively calm at the moment, I drove to Kiryat Arba and from there directly to the Ma'ara in Hebron...
The upper road was closed off, the lower parking lot was opened...
Of course, we can't actually see the cave as King Herod built a huge building over the area, which still stands today. Here, at the corner where Jews were limited to when it was under Arab control, a family was celebrating a bar mitzvah (with a minyan and Torah reading on Thursday) in the adjacent courtyard area. Who knew you can arrange a catered tour-led bar mitzvah at the Marat HaMachpela in Hebron?
At the end of the courtyard is a thorough security check and the entrance stairway. At another time in the past, Jews were limited to "the third step" of the stone stairway entrance. On an interesting side note, the sign to the right says "these scanners are approved by the Shabbos Institute for operation on Shabbos."
The inside is a side room (a kollel), two large hallways, an inner courtyard, and separate chambers that are closed off by huge iron bar gates and iron bared windows representing those buried there, who are Avraham avinu (Abraham), Sorah imaynu (Sarah), Yaakov avinu (Jacob), Leah imaynu, and the head of Easav. This photo is the 2nd hallway, with a window to the chamber of Avraham on the right. Jews aren't allowed access to these chambers (ever).
This is the inside of the Yaakov (Jacob) chamber through a window, with the iron bared gate opposite. You can see the walls surrounded with Arab-Islamic writing. The top of this kever and the inside of this chamber is also covered with pigeon dung. Fortunately the actually cave and resting place is far below the chamber.
The Yitzchok (Isaac) and Rivka (Rebbecca) chamber and large hall are not accessible to Jews except for a few days a year. The rest of the year a huge locked iron door with a pretty cover is as close as you can come. The Israeli government tries to manage the conflict over this holy site by giving the Arab-Muslims 1/2 of the building for regular use, and the Jews the other half. For certain special holidays, the whole building is given for a few days to one side or the other.
And thus ends our visit. The Gutnick center and courtyard in the foreground, the city of our forefathers, Hebron, with an Arab population surrounding in the background.
A follow up on the pigeon dung note about in the Yaakov chamber. It appears a small window at the top of the chamber was either left open or broke. The Jews can't access the chamber to fix it, as this would either offend Muslim religious sensibilities or (more likely) offend Arab authority/honor. But the Arabs can't get to the chamber (to either see the problem or fix it) as it's in the Jewish section, and the Arabs accessing it would offend Jewish authority. In the midst of the stalemate, the pigeons have fully taken up residence.
