Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the open spaces within your spine, which can put pressure on your spinal cord and the nerves that travel through the spine to your arms and legs. Spinal stenosis occurs most often in the lower back and the neck.
While spinal stenosis may cause no signs or symptoms in some people, other people may experience pain, tingling, numbness, muscle weakness, and problems with normal bladder or bowel function.
Spinal stenosis is most commonly caused by wear-and-tear changes in the spine related to osteoarthritis. In severe cases of spinal stenosis, doctors may recommend surgery to create additional space for the spinal cord or nerves.
Many people have evidence of spinal stenosis on X-rays, but may not have signs or symptoms. When symptoms do occur, they often start gradually and worsen over time. Symptoms vary, depending on the location of the stenosis:
Make an appointment with your doctor if you have persistent pain, numbness or weakness in your back, legs or arms.
While some people are born with a small spinal canal, most spinal stenosis occurs when something happens to reduce the amount of space available within the spine. Causes of spinal stenosis may include:
Most people with spinal stenosis have passed the age of 50. When younger people develop spinal stenosis, the cause is typically a genetic disease affecting bone and muscle development throughout the body.
Rarely, untreated cases of severe spinal stenosis may progress and cause permanent:
If your family doctor suspects that you have spinal stenosis, he or she may refer you to a doctor who specializes in disorders of the nervous system (neurologist). Depending on the severity of your symptoms, you might also be referred to a spinal surgeon.
Before the appointment, you might want to prepare a list of answers to the following questions:
Your doctor may ask some of the following questions:
Spinal stenosis can be difficult to diagnose because its signs and symptoms resemble those of many age-related conditions. Imaging tests may be needed to help pinpoint the true cause of your signs and symptoms.
These tests may include:
The type of treatment you receive for spinal stenosis may vary, depending on the location of the stenosis and the severity of your signs and symptoms.
To control pain associated with spinal stenosis, your doctor may prescribe:
It's common for people who have spinal stenosis to become less active, in an effort to reduce pain. However, that can lead to muscle weakness, which can result in more pain. A physical therapist can teach you exercises that may help:
Your nerve roots may become irritated and swollen at the spots where they are being pinched. Injecting a corticosteroid into the space around that constriction can help reduce the inflammation and relieve some of the pressure. However, steroid injections don't work for everyone. And repeated steroid injections can weaken nearby bones and connective tissue, so only a few injections a year are suggested.
Surgery may be considered if more conservative treatments haven't helped or if you're disabled by your symptoms.
The goal is to relieve the pressure on your spinal cord or nerve roots by creating more space within the spinal canal. Examples include:
In most cases, these space-creating operations help reduce spinal stenosis symptoms. But some people's symptoms stay the same or get worse after surgery. Surgical risks include infection, a tear in the membrane that covers the spinal cord, a blood clot in a leg vein and neurological deterioration.
The following home treatments might help:

The wines of MacMurray Ranch are crafted with care by winemaker Susan Doyle, who has a patient, gentle approach that gets the best out of Pinot Noir and its cousin Pinot Gris. Susan is guiding the wines of MacMurray Ranch to achieve both depth and the finely nuanced range of flavors that expresses the nature of the place where they were born. With her university studies in both winegrowing and winemaking, Susan makes wines that reflect the old Burgundian sense of "terroir", the special qualities that weather, land, and the hand of man that give her wines their individual distinction.

About Russian RiverView a map of Russian River wineries
The Russian River Valley is named as such due to its proximity to the Russian River, the river itself named for the Russian fur traders who came down from Alaska in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The Russian River is agricultural land. While there is a focus on wine, beyond the vineyards are many small, family-owned farms cultivating everything from cattle to Christmas trees.
Notable FactsThe proximity of this cool river and the rolling fogs from the Pacific Ocean make the area amenable to cool-climate grapes like Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. In fact, the region is quite known for its full-bodied, yet elegant Pinot Noir, as well as their ripe, yet lean Chardonnays. Within Russian River Valley lie the smaller appellations of Chalk Hill and Green Valley. Chalk Hill is the warmer of the two and furthest from the ocean, while Green Valley is cooler and closer to the water.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

The Aruba Island rattlesnake belongs to the family of vipers, Viperidae. Pit vipers together form the subfamily Crotalinae. The "pit" vipers are so-called because they have heat-sensing pits behind and below their nares (nostrils). Besides rattlesnakes, some other kinds of pit vipers are water moccasins (also known as cottonmouths), copperheads, palm vipers and bushmasters. The Aruba Island rattlesnake (C. d. unicolor) is a subspecies of the Neotropical rattlesnake (C. durissus), which ranges from Mexico to Argentina.
Aruba Island rattlesnakes (hereafter simply referred as "Arubas") are only found on the desert island of Aruba, located off the coast of Venezuela. The total amount of habitat for the snakes is only 12 square miles (31 sq km) of the island's dry interior; vegetation there is very sparse.
The maximum size for Arubas is 37 inches (94 cm). A typical adult specimen weighs 2-3 pounds (0.9-1.4 kg). Males tend to be larger than females.
12-25 years (estimated).
In the wild:Probably rodents, lizards and birds At the zoo: Mice of a size appropriate to the age and size of the snake.
Arubas become sexually mature at about 3 years of age. A male rattlesnake uses the courtship moves common to many kinds of snakes. First, the male aligns its body along the upper (dorsal) surface of a pheromonally attractive female. Next, the male rubs its chin along the female's back, moving his entire body along hers in a jerky fashion that demonstrates interest. Then, If the female is receptive, she opens her cloaca, and lets the male insert one of a pair of copulatory organs, called hemipenes. Rattlesnakes may mate for several hours at a time. About four months after mating, the female gives live birth to a litter of five to seven babies, although one Woodland Park Zoo Aruba produced a litter of 12.
Newborn Arubas are only a few inches long and weigh about half an ounce (14 g). Young snakes are independent from birth. A few days after they birth, the young shed their skins for the the first time and begin looking for food. During their first year of life, young Arubas can grow to 6-9 inches (15-23 cm) in length.
Like other rattlesnakes, Arubas inject their prey with a lethal cocktail of enzymes and other complex chemicals that both kill the animal and actually begin to digest it from the inside out. Long-hinged fangs, which are usually folded back so that the mouth can be closed, swing forward as the snake strikes out at its prey. In spite of darkness, the snake may locate and identify its prey by using its heat-sensing pits. The snake then swallows its prey whole, as other snakes do. A snake swallows its prey whole by unhinging its jaw at the pivots (if necessary) and allowing the flexible lower jaw (called the symphysis) to stretch enough so the snake can engulf its dinner. In the wild, an adult Aruba might only eat a few times a year, and a well-fed specimen could probably go for a year or more without food.
The Day Exhibit contains the Aruba Island rattlesnake display. The snake on exhibit is one of two females which together have given birth to 40 babies, as part of the Species Survival Plan's goal of maintaining a self-sustaining zoo population. Other species of venomous reptiles on exhibit in the Day Exhibits include the King cobra, Northern Pacific rattlesnake, western diamondback rattlesnake, eyelash viper and Gila monster. None of the venomous reptiles at Woodland Park Zoo have been surgically altered to make them less dangerous. The last incident of a venomous reptile bite at Woodland Park Zoo occured in the 1930s. The keeper at that time, the late Frank Vincenzi, (who later became WPZ's director) was bitten by a Northern Pacific rattlesnake.
Aruba Island rattlesnakes are listed as critically endangerd. These snakes live in vulnerable habitat and over such a tiny area. Fortunately, the government and people of Aruba understand the importance and value of their own special kind of rattlesnake, and have set aside a large portion of the interior of their island as protected habitat for this rattlesnake and other wildlife. Woodland Park Zoo participates in the American Zoo and Aquarium Association's (AZA) Species Survival Plan (SSP) for the Aruba Island rattlesnake, by helping to maintain the captive population's numbers and genetic health, and by contributing to efforts to study and protect the Aruba in its native habitat.
One such study is the Aruba Island Rattlesnake program that informs local people about the plight of endangered snakes. The westernmost Caribbean island of Aruba is part of the Netherlands Antilles in South America; it is about 18 miles (29 km) off the coast of Venezuela. Aruba covers an area of just 70 square miles (181 square km). Approximately 81,000 people live there year-round, but more than 540,000 tourists visit annually.
As with snakes in many other parts of the world, inhabitatns of and visitors to Aruba regard snakes as a "nuisance." Although this is far from the truth, neither locals nor tourists want snakes near homes or businesses. Their fears lead to the killing of many unwanted snakes. As wildlife officials have become aware of the dangers facing these snakes, the officials have changed their method of dealing with snakes in or near areas of human usage. Instead of exterminating the snakes, officials now translocate them. Unfortunately, previous field studies suggested a significant increase in mortality for translocated snakes. This program uses radio telemetry to study translocation effects on rattlesnake survival and its newly acquired habitat. If translocation decreases the survival rate of the snakes, this project will investigate other options.
Other options may include "halfway houses" or shorter transport distances. In addition to field research, project personnel present education programs for schools or other groups and began a public relations campaign to highlight Aruba's endangered species. As a result, success stories and research information discovered in these types of conservation projects can help other species of "nuisance" reptiles. Each in-situ projected supported by the zoo aims to provied a broad, holistic approach to conservation, encompassing research, education, habitat and species preservation. These projects include comprehensive and cooperative strategies to link the needs of animals with the people who share their ecosystems.
The effort to save threatened species like the Aruba requires cooperation and support at the international, national, regional and individual levels. You can help in this cause. Protect rattlesnakes everywhere by refusing to persecute them, and by encouraging other people to respect them as well. Join and become active in Woodland Park Zoo and other conservation organizations of your choice. Let your elected representatives know your views about protecting endangered species and wild habitats. Contact Woodland Park Zoo at email@example.com to find out other ways you can support conservation programs at the zoo.

We do not recommend reptiles as pets for most people as they require very specialized diets and environments. We also receive hundreds of requests each year to take former pet iguanas, boas and other reptiles but we cannot accept these due to space, health and unknown backgrounds. If you need to find a reptile or amphibian a new home, we suggest you contact a local herpetological group in your area.
In the Puget Sound region, contact the Pacific Northwest Herpetological Society as a resource. If you do choose to get a reptile as a pet, please learn as much as possible about their care and the best species before making your decision and never accept wild-caught animals as pets or release non-native reptiles or amphibians into the wild.

Hello folks,
I'm in the Air Force and will be deploying shortly after duck season starts this year. I'd like to make the most out of it, and I'm looking for someone I can go hunting with when the season first starts. Please reply if you wouldn't mind a fairly new to duck hunting companion to come duck hunting with you! I've got all my own gear (almost had a dog too but that didn't work out). Thanks.

Weighing less than a Kg, the HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer comes with a Wi-Fi connection with excellent range. Other added bonuses are exceptional print speeds, two side print facility and a robust support for memory cards.
One of the first aspects, which are bound to bowl you over about the HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer is the Wi-Fi connection. All you actually need is a single source of power and you are good to go! This HP officejet printer also has an additional USB connection facility as well as Ethernet connectivity. Just like any conventional multifunctional printer, this one also has a color fax facility, photocopy as well as scanner facility. It also has a card reader replete with five slots. You can easily control functions through the touch screen or your PC. The touch panel facilitates connectivity within a minute, which is faster than many other printers present within the inkjet segment provide.
High print speeds
The HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer provides some of the highest print speeds considering it is an inkjet printer. If you were to make comparisons with a laser printer, this one is as fast as an HP 1300 laser printer. Unlike other inkjet printers, which struggle to print tables and lines, this HP officejet printer prints with ease and quickly. With one of the lowest CPPs around (half that of laser printers), this printer is certainly a cost effective option. This is in spite of the fact that prints output and quality is superb. Even if you are using default mode settings, your print quality will be fantastic.
Two side prints
You can use the HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer to print both sides of the paper from feeder tray itself. Once printing is done on one side, the printer waits sometime for drying of the ink and then continues print on the reverse of the paper. In terms of alignment issues, there are no glitches with this HP officejet printer.
Scanning facility
You can use the HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer to scan directly into any network folder. By leveraging the digital filing option, you can easily accomplish this. Scanning directly to an email is also possible at the touch of one button. The presence of OCR or optical character recognition helps you scan printed documents easily.
Support for memory card
One of the advantages about the HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer is that there are five separate slots located on this printer. These include slots for memory stick, MMC or secure digital, compact flash, XD picture card as well as USB. The USB slot is enabled with PictBridge technology as well.
Cartridge usage
This HP Officejet printer uses cartridges of standard colors such as cyan, magenta, yellow and of course black. The available models of original HP printer cartridges included are C4900A C4901A C4902A C4903A C4904A C4905A C4906A C4907A C4908A C4909A cartridges etc. Each of these cartridges is designed to yield high quality prints and long-lasting ink life.

Market Comeback Fails: It's Never Enough
The bad news: Major stock indexes finished lower today. The good news: The damage was not as bad as it could have been, as Walt Disney (DIS), International Business Machines (IBM), 3M (MMM), Walgreen (WAG) and Genworth Financial (GNW) rose.
The S&P 500 fell 0.2% to 1,751.64 today after falling by as much as 1% earlier in the day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, meanwhile, finished little changed at 15,440.23 after falling by as much as 0.7%.
Instinet's Frank N. Cappelleri assesses the half empty/half full trading day:
...it was good seeing 1740 hold, but I would have like to have seen yesterday's high broken on this afternoon's strength, as well...The more times the market fails at leveraging this oversold condition, the higher the likelihood that this current pattern turns into another bearish flag formation, in my opinion. We'll just have to see of the bulls can follow through on the demand that did appear today.
U.S. Bank Wealth Management's Terry Sandven isn't worried by the market's recent weakness:
In our view, equities seem likely to continue to trend higher in 2014, but at a more moderate pace compared to 2013. Following the recent price decline, the risk/reward profile has arguably improved. The extent to which the extreme cold weather conditions have negatively impacted the economy near term is not likely to be determined until after another round of readings are released between now and early March. This may imply a generally sideways-trending market in February as investors maintain a wait-and-see approach.
Shares of Walt Disney rose 1% to $71.76 ahead of this evenings results (it beat), while International Business Machines gained 0.8% to $174.24 and 3M advanced 0.5% to $127.36 after announcing a new plan to buy back its stock. Walgreen gained 3.4% to $57.85 after its same-store sales rose 2.9%, beating analyst forecasts, while Genworth Financial advanced 2.8% to $14.93 after beating earnings.

International Student Services
As an F-1 student, you enjoy both the benefits and the responsibilities of maintaining F-1 status. It is your obligation to learn, understand, and comply with U.S. regulations regarding your F-1 status; noncompliance may jeopardize your status and your ability to remain in the U.S. legally. Your failure to comply could also result in deportation or in your being barred reentry into the U.S. in the future. The Office of International Programs is required by U.S. law to monitor your status and report violations to the Department of Homeland Security. To help you remain aware of the regulations regarding your status, we have compiled the following information for you to use as a resource. However, you should understand that U.S. regulations change frequently, and the information given below is subject to change. Ultimately, it is your responsibility to know the rules of F-1 status and comply with them, but feel free to contact the OIP if you have any questions or need assistance in understanding immigration regulations.*
Additionally, the following websites should act as resources to help you stay abreast of changes in immigration regulations:
- U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
- Immigration and Customs Enforcement
- Title 8 Code of Federal Regulations
Immigration Overview
Full-Time Enrollment
To be considered full-time as an F-1 student, you must be registered full-time for each required term in your program. If you are a graduate student, you must be registered for 18 credits a year. If you are an undergraduate student, you must be registered for a total of 12 credits per semester for the fall and spring semesters. If you are an ESL student, you must be enrolled in the full ESL program, which totals 20 hours per week.
If you are a degree-seeking student, developmental classes count toward full-time enrollment even when they are not credit-bearing or are credits that do not apply to your degree. However, class auditing or making up an incomplete from a previous semester do not count as credit toward full-time enrollment.
Dropping below full-time must be pre-approved by the OIP, and permission will only be granted for certain academic and medical circumstances. If you have an academic/medical situation you feel might warrant a drop below full-time, please contact the OIP immediately to see if this is permitted. You may only drop below full-time without pre-approval when you are in your last semester of study before graduation and do not need to be enrolled full-time to complete the requirements of your degree program. This information must be certified, in writing, by the Registrar and must be submitted to the OIP before the end of the drop/add period. Apart from the aforementioned cases, if you do not register as a full-time student, you are violating the terms of your F-1 status, and the university is obligated to terminate your status for "unauthorized drop below full course of study."
You should also be aware that if you are taking the minimum number of classes required to be full-time and receive an "F" grade in one of those classes, the 'F' will also cause you to drop below full-time and receive a termination.
Changing your Address
The Office of International Programs must be notified within 10 days if you or your F-2 dependent(s) change your address. We are required by the Department of Homeland Security to report any address change in SEVIS. If you are about to move or have just moved, please fill out the Change of Address form and submit it to us with your signature in person or by mail/e-mail/fax.
Changing Of Major
Your I-20 has been issued to reflect study in a particular major. If you change your major, you must present your approved Change of Major form from the Office of the Registrar so that we can update your I-20. Please note that to formally change your major at the university, you must work with your academic advisor and the Office of the Registrar to do so; the OIP does not have the ability to change your major but must be notified of the change to keep your record accurate in SEVIS.
Change of Program Level
If you completed a degree program at Felician University and wish to begin another (i.e., you finished your bachelor's degree and wish to pursue a master's degree), you must contact the OIP about the procedure for receiving a Change of Level I-20 for your new program. You will be required to submit a letter of acceptance into the new program and new financial documentation proving that you have the funding to cover your studies and living expenses for each year in your new program.
Extending/Shortening Your I-20
Please be aware of the "program end date" on your I-20. If are not able to complete your studies by this date or if you will complete your studies early (before this date), you must notify the OIP so that your I-20 can be extended or shortened. If your I-20 must be extended, you will be required to submit new financial documentation proving that you have the funding to cover your studies and living expenses for each year in your new program.
On-Campus Work
F-1 students are eligible to work on campus without further authorization from the U.S. government. Students may work up to 20 hours per week during the terms they are required to study and full-time during vacation periods. Work above the allowed number of hours is cause for a termination of F-1 status.
Off Campus Work
For the most part, F-1 students are not eligible to work off campus. On rare occasions exceptions to this rule are made if the student can show evidence that unforeseen circumstances have created an economic hardship. Please contact the OIP to find out more about applying for this type of work authorization under economic hardship. Please also note that we are required to report all unauthorized employment to the immigration authorities.
Economic Hardship Employment
Under most circumstances, F-1 students are not eligible to work off campus. However, if you become unable to support yourself due to economic hardship (loss of financial support from your sponsor(s)), you may be eligible for hardship employment. You must to apply to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services for permission, so do not work off-campus if you have not received employment authorization. If you need to apply for hardship employment, please contact the OIP immediately.
Curricular Practical Training (CPT)
If a paid off-campus internship constitutes an integral part of your major, you must be approved for the internship with Career Services and apply for Curricular Practical Training (CPT) before beginning the internship. For more information about CPT and to apply, please contact the OIP.
Optional Practical Training (OPT)
Every F-1 student who completes an undergraduate or graduate program is entitled to participate in Optional Practical Training (OPT). OPT is paid off-campus employment directly related to your area of study, and it is permitted for 12 to 29 months (if you are eligible for a STEM extension) after your program end date. You can apply for post-completion OPT as early as 90 days before you complete your degree, which is highly recommended, as it can take up to three months for your OPT to be approved by USCIS. For more information about OPT and to apply, please see the following, and contact the OIP for assistance:
- Information about F-1 OPT Employment Authorization
- OPT Checklist
- I-765 Application for Employment Authorization
Transferring from/to Another School
If you are currently taking classes at another institution and wish to transfer to Felician University, you must fill out the F-1 Transfer In Request form. Please notify the international student advisor at your current institution so that s/he can transfer your F-1 record in SEVIS to Felician University.
If you have been accepted to another institution and wish to transfer, you must notify the OIP so that we can transfer your F-1 record in SEVIS, and you can continue to maintain your status at your new school. Please fill out the F-1 Transfer Out Request form and submit it to us along with an acceptance letter from the institution to which you wish to transfer.
Change of Status
If you would like to study at Felician University and are in the U.S. on a visa that allows you to change to F-1, or if you are already studying at Felician University and would like to change your status to F-1, the OIP would be happy to assist you in applying for a change of status, provided you did not originally come to U.S. with the intent to study. For more information and to apply, please see the following, and contact the OIP for assistance:
- Information about Changing to F-1 Student Status
- Form I-539: Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status
Passport Requirements
Your passport must remain valid at all times and should be valid for at least six months beyond the period of time for which you have permission to stay in the United States. You can have your passport extended while you are in the U.S. by contacting your Embassy in Washington D.C. or Consulate in New York City.
Traveling Outside the U.S.
Whenever you travel outside of the U.S., you should take every I-20 you have been issued, and have the third page of your most recent I-20 signed by a Designated School Official in the OIP. A valid passport, visa, and I-94 card are also needed to reenter the United States.
Traveling After a COS or With an Expired Visa
If you changed your status to F-1 within the U.S., or if you travel outside the U.S. with an expired F-1 visa, you will need to apply/reapply for an F-1 visa before you can return to the United States. Please be advised that if you leave the U.S. with an expired visa or without an F-1 visa, there is no guarantee that the U.S. consulate abroad will issue you a visa. Travel outside the U.S. in this situation is a risk, and if you are denied an F-1 visa, you will not be allowed to reenter. Please consult the OIP about applying/reapplying for an F-1 visa and to assess the risks involved.
* The information provided here should not be construed as legal counsel and that if such counsel is needed, a student should contact an immigration lawyer.

Apple Earnings Worry Investors; Stock Falls 10 Percent

Apple's profit is flat due to higher manufacturing costs
While Apple managed to surpass analysts' profit forecasts for the fiscal 2013 first quarter, the company's stock took a tumble as investors worry over Apple's
ability to maintain steady growth
with new products.
Apple reported a revenue of $54.5 billion for the quarter ended December 29, 2012, compared to $46.33 billion in the year-ago quarter. The tech giant just missed analyst expectations of $54.73 billion.
Apple also earned a net profit of $13.1 billion ($13.81 a share) compared to $13.1 billion ($13.87 a share) a year ago. Profit clearly remained pretty flat, but it exceeded analysts' expectations of $13.44 a share.
The iDevice maker also noted that it had record iPhone sales for the quarter at 47.8 million (compared to 37 million in the year-ago quarter). It also had an uptick in iPad sales, from 15.4 million in the year ago quarter to 22.9 million in the most recent quarter.
"We're thrilled with record revenue of over $54 billion and sales of over 75 million iOS devices in a single quarter," said Tim Cook, Apple's CEO. "We're very confident in our product pipeline as we continue to focus on innovation and making the best products in the world."
While Apple did okay for the quarter, investors are concerned with the company's flat profit due to higher manufacturing costs and also worry whether Apple can keep up its momentum with product popularity. Many new devices are hitting the market at lower prices and offer newer, better features. For instance, the
iPad's market share was bested by Google's Nexus 7 tablet
in Japan mainly due to cost differences.
Apple's stock has lost nearly 25 percent of its value since September 2012 ($170 billion in market value).
In after-hours trading today, Apple's stock fell over 10 percent.
Looking forward to fiscal 2013 second quarter, Apple expects a revenue of between $41 billion and $43 billion.
Earlier this month, it was reported that Apple had
cut iPhone screen and component orders by 50 percent
for t
he first quarter of 2013.
"And I don't know why [Apple is] acting like it's superior. I don't even get it. What are they trying to say?" -- Bill Gates on the Mac ads

ARSC T3D Users' Newsletter 68, January 5, 1996
PGHPF is Running at ARSC
The Portland Group has kindly extended ARSC's license to use their HPF compiler until February 29th. Please contact Mike Ess if you have any problems or results from using pghpf. The instructions for using pghpf at ARSC were described in newsletter #65 (12/15/95).
Accessing 128 PEs at ARSCIt is not always possible to access 128 PEs in a predictable way now that the ARSC T3D is more active. To help with this access, after downtime this Tuesday, January 9th, we will open the 128PE, 5 minute NQS queue first and let all accumulated jobs (5 minutes or less) execute. Then when the 128 PE jobs are complete we will activate the other T3D queues.
So if you would like to execute on 128 PEs for less than 5 minutes, submit your NQS job before 5PM on Tuesday January 9th. This procedure is an experiment, and if it goes well we may make it a regular part of Tuesday downtime. If you have any questions about this please contact Mike Ess.

Ravi found guilty of majority of Rutgers spying charges
NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. – A former Rutgers University student accused of electronically spying on his gay roommate was found guilty Friday of invasion of privacy and at least one of the most serious charges against him.
Since Dharun Ravi was found guilty of one of the bias intimidation charges against him, he could face up to 10 years in prison. Judge Glenn Berman of Middlesex County Superior Court said Ravi will be sentenced May 21.
The jury considered Ravi's fate on 35 separate questions regarding 15 counts, making for complex deliberations over three days. He was found guilty of 24 charges including invasion of privacy, bias intimidation, attempted invasion of privacy, tampering with physical evidence, hindering apprehension or prosecution, witness tampering and tampering with physical evidence.
Legal experts say the case underscores how social media can be as dangerous as it is convenient - if it is used to torment others.
People "don't feel like they're spying. It's just their own iPhone they're using, their own laptop," said Annemarie McAvoy, an adjunct professor at Fordham Law School in New York. "Hopefully, parents will use this as an example for their children."
Tyler Clementi jumped to his death off the George Washington Bridge in 2010
In September 2010, Ravi, then a freshman at Rutgers, was accused of rigging the webcam of a computer in the room he shared with new roommate Tyler Clementi so it could be turned on from remote locations for live viewing. For a few seconds on the night of Sept. 19, 2010, Ravi and another student observed Clementi's encounter with another man.
By Kathy Johnson, (Somerville, N.J.) Courier News
Jane and Joe Clementi, parents of Tyler Clementi, arrive at court on Friday.
Ravi also was charged with making a second attempt to spy on the pair two days later. Clementi discovered the attempt and was extremely upset.
On the third day, the gay teen jumped off the George Washington Bridge; his body was not found until a week later. The trial has drawn national attention because of discussions it has raised regarding cyber-bullying, misuse of social media and anti-gay bias. Ravi was not charged in connection with Clementi's death.
Most worrisome for Ravi were two bias intimidation charges and one of the hindering charges because of the prison time. To find Ravi guilty of bias, the jurors first had to unanimously agree that Ravi invaded, or attempted to invade, the privacy of either Clementi or his date.
Rutgers University said in a statement: "This sad incident should make us all pause to recognize the importance of civility and mutual respect in the way we live, work and communicate with others."
Ravi's attorney, Steven Altman, issued a brief statement saying "everyone could rest assured that at the appropriate time an appeal will be filed."
Many Rutgers students said they were surprised at the verdict.
"It's totally understandable how the gay and lesbian communities feel. And I feel for the Clementi family," student Saba Khan said. "But I don't think this was a hate crime. And it's sad situation for everyone."
Carlos Lara, 21, a computer science major at Rutgers University who is gay, said he thought what Ravi did was "very immature" but not necessarily worthy of a jail sentence.
"I don't think he wanted to kill (Tyler Clementi). What occurred really was the straw that broke the camel's back," Lara said. "He should get fined or get community service, (or) have to help" the gay community.
Walter Fortson, 26, a junior, agreed.
"It was a prank gone too far. I just don't think (jail time) is the answer," Fortson said. "It's been made to seem like a hate crime, but as far as the facts go it didn't seem like that. If he is homophobic or whatever the claims are, going to prison isn't going to make him any less homophobic."

Lol. I normally shuffle between the Garden State Plaza, Rockaway Mall, Willowbrook, and Palisades -- and as Bing says, the Traffic is terrific. I have been going to these malls since I was a kid. Nothing says the Holidays like going in circles around the same parking lot a dozen times looking for a spot or driving at 1mph in the car while stalking behind a shopper with bags and waiting for them to get to their car so you can take the spot.
"I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys." ~Charles Dickens
I am actually considering getting a few gifts off Groupon to be honest. I wanted to last year, but completely slipped my mind. I really only shop for my mom, sister, brother and now his wife. They have some really great stuff on there at good deals. LivingsSocial is in the same realm but I dont use them as much.
I honestly do most of my shopping online at Amazon and Gamestop. It is easy and they have free shipping, you can't go wrong.
i'm surprised I didn't do most or all my shopping online this year like I thought. I shopped local stores, Kohls, Barnes n Noble, etc. and I did surprisingly well.

Arsène Wenger has warned his players against complacency ahead of their Champions League clash with Olympiacos.
The Gunners face the Greek champions in their first Group F match at Emirates Stadium on Wednesday and the boss believes taking any side lightly in this competition is a recipe for disaster.
"For me, it is difficult to beat anybody," said Wenger. "We have a lot of respect for Olympiacos. I have seen their game against Marseille and they played well.
"You never win easy in the Champions League - when you give absolutely everything, you have a chance to win.
"If we have not learned that from 14 consecutive years in the Champions League, then we are really stupid. If you do not prepare properly, then you have no chance."
The Gunners have impressed in the competition so far with strong performances against both Udinese and Borussia Dortmund. And Wenger believes their form in the Champions League can aid their chances of success in the Premier League.
"Any victory will help us," he said. "I have always been optimistic because I feel that the players are mentally strong and focused.

FWIW, I've not found it to be necessary to put anything on the female threads- just on the bolt threads. I use Permatex #2, myself. It's not as slippery as RTV or most thread sealers, so I add a couple ft/lb to compensate.
If I were to use RTV, I agree- no skin time. BTW, it is fine to use. It doesn't set up immediately in the absence of air, so will still be pliable when a retorque is done. After an extended period of time and heat cycling, it does eventually set up, and this is born out when disassembling engines that have had RTV used on the head bolt threads. Permatex #2 doesn't harden, but is much more viscous than RTV.
As for lubing the bolt head/head surface interface, I use a smudge of moly lube around the head's bolt hole surfaces. This is just a matter of convenience, it makes little difference whether the bolt or the head's surface gets lube- as long as one or the other gets it. RTV will be a poor lubricant in this instance (between the bolt and the head)- way too much pressure for it to truly act as a lubricant, IMO. But better than nothing.
I only let the sealer "skim over" for about ten minutes or so when using it on the ends of the block for the intake manifold.
I also use it to "glue" the cork gaskets to the valve covers.I don't use any sealant on the cork valve cover gaskets to the heads.
When using on head bolts, I just apply it to the threads only and install with no "skim over" time. I put a few drops of oil under the heads of the bolts. Then torque from the center out in three step increments. This works for me.
Let head bolt sealer "skim off"?
When using a sealer like Permatex #2 or an RTV is it recommended to apply the sealer to the male and female threads and then allow it to set up or skim off...as you would when using the product as a gasket or gasket sealer?
I've always just applied it and then inserted and torqued down the bolts. But in a number of threads folks have noted that the sealer, when used with gaskets, should be allowed to set up and form a skin before mating the surfaces. So I'm wondering if the same holds true for sealing head bolts. Or would allowing the sealer to set up be potentially detrimental when using it on bolts and having the threads cut and possibly dislodge the sealant? Might it also effect torque readings if allowed to set up or skim off first, especially when applied under the head of the bold to reduce friction during the torque down process?

I've got all of the parts for a whole lotta costumes in my costume room that really need to become wearable. I'm tired of shifting boxes of parts around. I have a con coming up at the end of April that I'm working on 10 costumes for - 2 of which are Hunters (Boushh and Bo Katan).
Boushh has likely be in the works for the longest and keeps getting pushed aside by other costumes. Here's where I'm at with it so far.
I have a beautiful helmet that is almost all cleaned up. I just have to work on that sort of glob of resin in the upper visor area:
It's really tricky to get at and be able to see what you're doing.
I've done a mock up of the coat and undershirt. The coat is now done in leather with the exception of the darts in the front.
The pants have been a learning experience. I love that about costuming. I sewed leather for the first time with Zam. It's definitely different than sewing other fabrics. And in all the time I've been sewing, I'd never sewed a fly front pant. I'm fairly pleased so far with the result:
I originally did a mock up for the pants to figure out the panels. However, what I forgot to consider was the fact that the last panel has to be above the top of the boot cover. So I ended up having to reduce the amount of each leather panel to get the spacing right. And of course, ended up with Boushh capris. No good. Thankfully that part is concealed by the boot cover so I'll just add another panel to the bottom.
The crinkle part was surprisingly easy once it dawned on me how to do it. I simply cut a section of leather that was about 1.5 times wider than it needed to be. Then I soaked the leather in water, crumpled it all up in sort of a random fan pattern, tied some string around it and let it dry for days. Considering that this piece has been shoved in a bin under other leather for at least a year, I'd say it's going to hold up well.
I have all of the other parts, although I fully admit to not being able to find the upper visor lights or one of my gloves. Perhaps they are together. Some place safe. Safe even from me.
I live in an area that it's generally too cold to paint during the winter without having a heated garage. Fortunately, it's supposed to be above freezing this weekend so I'm going to try really hard to get some of this ready for at least priming. That would mean tackling the shoulder armor. Not looking forward to that. It's not designed for people with more up top and getting it to fit is tricky. I've read though that some have a lot of success with heating it up in hot water (as opposed to with a heat gun) and then wearing it until it cools. Then you take it off and start all over again. Hopefully I can make it fit well without risking the cracking at the shoulder. Any other suggestions though are most welcome!
Hopefully I'll have more to post this week on this build. Wish me luck!

email from bob passsing hat i believe went to everyone on mailing list. lotta dough considering glossy rags dont come into my boat--i opted out. wasnt impressed with the quality of the forum staff either, so --nogo.
Re: So what do we do here?
I just got an email from Bob passing the hat (literally) for his new venture: CRUISING OUTPOST. $250 bucks gets you a 5 year subscription and the hat:
We know, money doesn't grow on trees, but the sooner we raise the cost of printing the sooner we can start the print version.

I lurked everywhere for a while but only signed up here , if I'm avg then it a trend lol
I saw no action at Latts & Atts and allways thought it was a corner stone ?( heard of them for years )
Smacky theres something bout using the words "Dink" & "Boobs" in the same sentence ....

Welcome to SN dude.
|Anyone want to clue a newbie in as to where I should look for longer-range planning. Trying to get 2 berths (me, wife) for when we return to UK from Afghanistan.

Now, back to the dinghy full of boobs...and definitely NOT your stinky grandmother's.
My take is that what's missing here are good, frequent articles and other content. The crap in the garage is gold - but it's old. Combining a thriving forum (like Sailnet) with REALLY GOOD, FREQUENT stories/articles some of which are technical, some of which are fun, some of which are about people out there doing it, and some of which are just salacious and fleshy, is what works. You essentially become the HuffPo and/or Newser of sailing with a combination of great stories pulled from across the media world, stories created by users, a few stories created by the editors, etc.
SA almost has it right - but they can't seem to get past the bitter nature that's part of their DNA. And that gets old after a while. Although they too are getting better.
Truth be told, the LA model (based on the biker mag thing) is pretty worn out - but I'd much rather read/look/watch stuff about scantly clad chicks having fun in the Caribbean, mixed with hard-core sailing chicks like Jeanne Socrates, mixed with casual cruisers like Zanshin who tell a good story and take a great pic, mixed with boat reviews by actual owners, etc. - than bounce around to a million sites to get all that, or go to a store and actually buy a wad of paper.
It's doable.
Hmm subtle Smack. What forum could you possible be referring to??
Hey Look I agree with all of the above posts. There is two sides to this partnership however, lets admit that as a 'digital medium' Sailnet is somewhat of a dysfunctional family with its only issues.
I hate to say it but the best part of this site was it's heyday and things like the articles........the range of contributors..........and the most recent one of them was like what 9 years ago???? This site is like Grandma and Grandpa's house.......yeah there may be some kids running around down here in the basement having some fun, but guys the house hasn't had a lick of paint in a decade, grandma smells real bad and can't make it down the stairs much anymore and the garage is full of old crap from the good old days.
CD is a visionary, this is one venture in which he tried, as he contiues to try to inject life here, however he is only one guy. If we all, and also the owner of this site won't also inject some life then we may well have something to learn from latts and atts.

I actually logged on over on the L&A forum for the first time in months and saw where Bob was trying to drum up new subscriptions through a "Refer a Friend" program that gives you a store coupon for each referral. He mentioned that subscriptions had fallen off 20% over the past year - and that they needed to get the numbers up to cover printing.
See? That's the problem. He's still focused on printing. Time for a digital approach dude!
|well life moves on and they may be kicking back and enjoying life. A lot of things change for the worse when the original people step back from operations. The passing of the reins are never easy. If that be the case. But I remember the days that I read the mag cover to cover and dreamed. Now I have the boat and still dream and I guess I will move on. But I still hope. Come on Latts & Atts, this is your link and here are 4 pages of hope, Do something, check your mail! and answer it, please

KDE SC 4.6 brings a completely redesigned activities system. I have to say I have never used it (and honestly don't see it that useful), but it seems this new system is less complicated and more intuitive. On the other hand, one piece that has also got a new design from the ground up, one I do care about, is the Power Management configuration system.
Click on image to enlarge.
Settings have been split into two categories now: Global Settings and Power Profiles. Not that different to what was there before, but perhaps organised in a way that makes life easier for users. The Power Profiles piece is the one that has experienced the most relevant and evident changes, as depicted in the screenshot above. There is nothing revolutionary about the new interface, perhaps not even attractive, but it does what it is supposed to do.
There are many more new features/enhancements, such as improved program start-up notifications and a revamped Oxygen GTK theme that should allow for better integration of GTK apps (it's an improvement, but can't say I am impressed with this one, I still see applications that look out of place). Dolphin gets advanced filtering features and other applications from the KDE realm also get updates, such as Amarok, which is now on version 2.4.

In my opinion, the most welcome changes come from Look&Feel and Kwin compositing, probably the changes users will notice first. The new wallpaper provides a new vibe to both the KDM theme and the desktop, quite an impact for such a simple change. The widget interface is similar to what we saw in KDE SC 4.5.x, but got a subtle face lift. There are some new widgets added to the mix as well.
Click on image to enlarge.
I wanted to save the best for last: Kwin effects are finally worth using! Ever since I started using KDE, I thought its effects were slow, limited and lacked the smoothness and flexibility of Compiz. As a result, I have alwasy tried to fit compiz in, probably not the best idea. This time around, though, Kwin effects look and behave great... it is the first time I decided to get rid of Compiz! Don't get me wrong, I still miss some Compiz features and effects, specially how you can tweak an effect in any imaginable way. I also miss how Compiz provides a much more flexible interface to create shortcuts you can call effects with, but like I said, this is the first time Kwin stands the comparison.
Click on image to enlarge.
Unfortunately, there are still things I dislike about KDE. First and foremost, I think the project is going down a path that can make it quickly become a thing of the past. Efforts continue to make an already thick client thicker, when the rest of the world is looking elsewhere, to the cloud, to be more specific. Projects like Marble or the work put into revamping Kontact (which incidentally had to be left out of KDE 4.6) seem redundant, tons of hours of work that will probably (and sadly) go unnoticed and used by a very small minority.
The way I see it, KDE is stretching way beyond its reach. Instead of using its growing community of developers to take on new projects, I believe they should concentrate all of those resources into creating a truly amazing desktop manager, one that is ready and relevant for the next ten years. I think it's about time we realize Windows is no longer the reference, because even Microsoft is falling behind in this race.
Computer Science has always been about adjusting to change quickly, and the cloud revolution, empowered by an ever growing market of smartphones and tablets, is only accelerating change. It will take no prisoners. It's time to realize efforts to create an ever more powerful client are essentially wasted time. Computing is no longer about productivity, social interaction and enhanced integration are just as important now. People want to see interfaces that are pretty and work efficiently, and they don't want to have to learn new stuff when what they use is already awesome. Honestly, can Kontact ever beat the integration Google is putting in place with all its applications and services? Can Marble ever hope to be better than Google Earth? Can KDE really develop a mobile device interface that is able to compete with iOS or Android? (Note that we are no longer competing against a proprietary monopoly based on closed technology, for many of Google's projects are open source and community supported)
I think the answer is clear. How long will it take for the project to realize many of its elements are already offside? Time will tell, but it is a shame to see so much potential not fully coming to fruition.
Is KDE SC 4.6 a good release? It is indeed. It still bugs me that certain basic shortcomings, such as a proper icon theming system, are getting no love from developers and keep failing release after release, though. Other than that, there are some undeniable improvements and some exciting new features, so make sure you give it a go.
Kubuntu users can easily upgrade their KDE desktop to SC 4.6.0 using the PPA available. Simply follow the following steps.
1.- Open a terminal window and enter the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
2.- The last step may or may not work (it did not for me), so you may need to run the following command:
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Rubio the antiRomney? Businessmen say Swallow offered favors. Lee turned down tea-party response.
Happy Wednesday. The choice of Sen. Marco Rubio to offer the GOP response to the State of the Union marks an interesting move by GOP leaders: That of choosing the anti-Mitt Romney. Rubio, whose parents immigrated from Cuba, tells a different story than that of Romney's white heritage, and the senator offers a pitch to the potential immigrant/Latino vote that Republicans need. [Politico] More on the State of the Union below.
Topping the news: Three businessmen tell The Tribune's Robert Gehrke that John Swallow offered protection from the AG's office for campaign donations to then-AG Mark Shurtleff. [Trib]
-> Leading Utahns including Gov. Gary Herbert and House Speaker Becky Lockhart say that they wish they knew about the allegations against Swallow before voters went to the polls, and especially before he assumed office. [Trib]
-> Paul Rolly notes that folks attending the Utah Republican Party gave Swallow the cold shoulder during the recent Lincoln Day dinner. [Trib]
State of the Union: Sen. Mike Lee turned down a chance to offer the tea party response to the president's speech, but still disagreed with Obama's remarks. [Trib] [DailyCaller]
-> Spotted: Sen. Orrin Hatch getting a hug and exchanging a few words with President Barack Obama after the speech, after getting a handshake on the way in.
-> Notable quotes: "Heaven forbid if the guy is thirsty, he ought to be able to take a drink." - Lee on Sen. Marco Rubio's now infamous water-bottle grab during his GOP response.
"The president gave a good speech and has outlined laudable goals. But we've had enough rhetoric; it's time for action. Too much government with not enough private sector empowerment will only further slow economic growth and stifle recovery. Mr. Obama is confused about the proper roles of the federal government, the states and the private sector." - Gov. Gary Herbert
"More calls for tax hikes, more calls for increased government spending, and more campaign rhetoric are not solutions to move our country forward. The sooner the president realizes this, the sooner our country can once again become the country we know it can be." - Sen. Orrin Hatch
-> Promises, proposals and plans are rolled out each year in the speech, but where have these projects actually ended up? Take a look here. [Politico]
-> Here's a complete breakdown of First Lady Michelle Obama's guest list. [Politico] [WaPost]
-> They call them "squatters:" members of Congress who stake out seats near the aisle, waiting for up to seven hours in hopes of shaking the president's hand as he walks in to the House chamber to deliver the State of the Union. [WaPost]
Tweet of the day: From @RobertGehrke: "Rep. Jim Dunnigan has everyone in rapt attention as he goes page by page through his insurance amendments bill."
Heard on the Hill: "The quality of the air is now impacting our ability to recruit the kind of businesses we want. It's embarrassing to bring these folks here and have to deal with the air issue." - Rep. Lowry Snow, R-St. George.
In other news: Sen. Lee opposed former Sen. Chuck Hagel's nomination for Defense secretary, describing his record as "weak." [Trib]
-> Salt Lake City fired up its new anti-bullying campaign, which will include online information, television and radio ads and community events. [Trib] [Fox13]
-> Hundreds of people from a wide array of backgrounds rallied in the Capitol rotunda to implore lawmakers to support mental health and substance abuse treatment programs.[Trib]
-> Salt Lake County passed a proposal to cut recreation center fees on bad air days. [Trib]
-> Interested in wildlife management? The state is looking to fill one of two vacancies on the Utah Wildlife Board or a regional council. [Trib]
-> Sen. Jim Dabakis' appeal to protect the Greater Canyonlands made it onto the national scene. [NYTimes]
From the Hill: Here's your daily legislative schedule. [Trib]
-> Two of Utah's hottest political topics education and clean air came head to head, and funding schools won out over giving tax breaks to vehicles that use cleaner fuels.[Trib]
-> At the height of a winter filled with gunky air, pollution is getting more attention on the Hill, both from lawmakers and from Gov. Herbert. [Trib]
-> In anticipation of federal budget woes, lawmakers debuted a package of bills that would help Utah forge the waters of a meltdown. [Trib] [Herald] [UtahPolicy]
-> A bill that would narrow the age gap for sexual activity with a 16- or 17-year-old passed through a Senate committee. [Trib]
-> The international baccalaureate program survives another day in Utah after an amendment dies on a voice vote. [UtahPolicy]
-> The Legislature may still do away with "boxcar bills," which are in-name-only placeholders for legislation that offer no hint as to their real purpose. [UtahPolicy]
-> The Senate moved to cap anonymous campaign contributions at $50. [Trib] [DNews]
-> High-achieving out-of-state kids could receive in-state tuition to the state's public universities under a new bill that seeks to bolster sagging enrollment rates. [Trib][DNews]
-> Sen. Peter Knudson wants to give more time to groups that offer specialized license plates to reach the 500-requests-per-year requirement. [Trib]
-> More frequent political disclosures will be required of candidates, former candidates and other politicos, thanks to a new bill. [Trib]
-> An effort to standardize bike lanes was halted by widespread disagreements that eventually stripped the bill down. [Trib]
-> Lawmakers passed what was described as an "insurance package for families" of those who are wrongly accused, but die before they receive restitution. The bill advanced out of a committee, and now goes to a full House vote. [Trib]
-> The House passed a bill that would create seminars to educate parents about bullying and suicide, in an attempt to cut down on Utah's high youth suicide rates. [DNews]
-> Firefighters would be allowed to use water on private lands if they're battling a fire there, thanks to a new bill that passed out of a Senate committee. [Herald]
Nationally: Despite a rancorous debate about his record on Israel and Iran, former Sen. Chuck Hagel cleared the Senate Armed Services Committee. The full Senate is expected to vote on his confirmation for Defense secretary sometime this week. [Politico] [WaPost] [NYTimes]
-> Top Senate Democrats have plans to meet with President Obama at the White House sometime this week to figure out details of an immigration overhaul. [Politico]
-> The Senate passed the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act by a strong 78-22. Sens. Hatch and Lee both voted against the bill, while all female senators regardless of party voted yes. [NYTimes] [WaPost] [Politico]
-> The Washington Post wrongly reported that former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin would be hopping from Fox News to Al Jazeera's English outlet. While Palin is indeed leaving Fox, the erroneous claimed stemmed from a satirical piece. [Politico]
