Other Medical Problems
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of this medicine. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
Treprostinil injection is used to treat the symptoms of pulmonary arterial hypertension. This is high blood pressure that occurs in the main artery that carries blood from the right side of the heart (the ventricle) to the lungs. When the smaller blood vessels in the lungs become more resistant to blood flow, the right ventricle must work harder to pump enough blood through the lungs.
Treprostinil belongs to the group of agents called prostaglandins. Prostaglandins occur naturally in the body and are involved in many biological functions. Treprostinil works by relaxing blood vessels and increasing the supply of blood to the lungs, which reduces the workload of the heart.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.

The Hubspot people just launched a new (and free) marketing tool today called Marketing Grader. Hubspot is a strong promoter of Inbound Marketing and has launched other tools in the past including Website Grader, Twitter Grader and Blog Grader. Marketing Grader is actually the 'shiny new thing' that is replacing the Website Grader (but you can still access Website Grader if you want to).
While Hubspot's primary focus is to sell a comprehensive Inbound Marketing platform, they do an excellent job with providing free resources and tools to promote the concept of Inbound Marketing. And the new Marketing Grader tool is a homerun in my book – so much so that I knew I had to write a blog post to showcase what it can do.
To start the grading process, you enter the URL of the website you want to measure. You can also add up to two competing websites for comparison purposes. For my testing purposes, I used a company and industry that I was familiar with as I used to work there for more than three years.
The summary calculates an overall score on a 100 point scale and then analyzes how the website is doing for Top of the Funnel (ToFu), Middle of the Funnel (MoFu) and Analytics. Not only does the tool provide a percentage score of how well the website is doing, it also identifies the top recommendations to improve the score.
For example, the Top 3 Things to Do for the Top of the Funnel include very specific recommendations for improvement:
It is interesting to note that a URL for the iRise blog was found, but the blog has not been active for more than a year and the link currently redirects a user to the homepage. So, iRise is getting credit for a blog even though it is currently not accessible or active.
Similar recommendations were provided for the Middle of the Funnel:
According to the Marketing Grader blog post on the Hubspot website, the new tool is supposed to help marketers understand:
- Competitive Benchmarking: Is my marketing more or less effective than my competition?
- Lead Generation: Are my marketing efforts generating enough leads and sales?
- Mobile Marketing: Is my web presence optimized for mobile devices?
- Social Media: How effectively are we using Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter in our marketing?
- Blogging: Is my blog driving results that justify the time investment, or are we wasting time doing the wrong things?
- Overall Analysis: What are the strong points and shortcomings in our marketing?
Overall, this is a great tool and resource for improving your marketing function. The tool has an appealing interface and there is a lot of information included in the report along with explanatory links. My recommendation is to Run, Don't Walk and turn the new Marketing Grader loose on your own website. Did I mention that the new Marketing Grader is FREE?
For more background information on Marketing Grader, check out these blog posts from Hubspot product manager Karen Rubin in the OnStartups.com website – Insider Tips from Hubspot's Launch of Marketing Grader or from the Hubspot blog – Hubspot Launches Free Marketing Grader Tool to Replace Website Grader.

Michael Caine's war tour sparked garlic phobia
Hollywood veteran MICHAEL CAINE has an intense hatred of garlic following his tour of duty in the Korean War, because enemy soldiers chewed the pungent onions on the battlefield.
The Alfie actor was sent to the Far East in 1952 as part of his national service with the British Army, to aid South Korean troops in their battles with North Korean rivals.
United Nations forces had developed a way of using their sense of smell to detect Chinese soldiers, who were aiding the enemy - but the experience put Caine off garlic for life.
He tells Esquire magazine, "I did two years national service. In 1952, when I was 19, they sent me to Korea. I was an infantry soldier. You become a man quite quickly. We used to do night patrols in the paddy fields. It was terrifying.
"The good thing about the Chinese soldiers was they chewed garlic like we chew gum so you could smell them long before they got near you. That meant when you smelled garlic you practically shat your pants! I detested garlic in cooking. It took me quite a while to get used to that."

My favorite part is when the fairy godmother comes. I like when the fairy godmother turns him into a monkey. It is like Cinderella because she has a fairy godmother too like Prince Cinder. I liked the fairy godmother. She reminds me of my one cousin because she thinks she can grant wishes.
I think all kids that like fairy tails should read it. All 2nd and 3rd graders should read it too. I think this book is very cool.

Big letdown: Phish's Fishman isn't enough
I haven't eaten pork in at least a decade. Not for religious reasons or because of some age-old doctrine on the grossness of swine, but because every time I eat it something in my stomach doesn't settle right. I tend to enjoy foods that give me a pleasant mood after I eat– not the kind that make me sluggish and yearn for a long nap.
Pork Tornado played at Starr Hill Tuesday, November 12. The band is the side project of Phish drummer Jon Fishman, but as I quickly learned, there was very little Phish in this mixture.
Truthfully, I have had the pleasure of listening to more intriguing local bands here in Charlottesville. Pork Tornado probably would not pull more than 50 people to a venue if it weren't for the fame of Jon Fishman. Fishman is an extremely talented drummer, and his in-between song diatribes are quite amusing. That's about the only thing that I could latch on to at this performance.
The band played a random plethora of Zappa covers. When traveling down this road, I would have to give them an "A" for execution. However, the Zappa tunes were scattered among a hodgepodge of boogie woogie, blues, rock, and funk that at times was very trying on my ears. It was obvious who wrote what song and who felt comfortable playing it.
There were times when the chain smoking guitarist seemed lost in his licks on certain tunes. On other songs the keyboard player was obviously not comfortable singing back up. Everything pretty much came to a head when the band dropped into the song "Kiss My Black Ass" that featured the large framed brother with big blue hair screaming those exact words over a Parliament-style funk riff. The song came as a shock considering his laid back Tonight Show sax playing from earlier in the set. If people were unsure about how they felt about the band up to that point, that song either got them going or completely turned them off. By the end of the tune, about half the remaining audience headed out the door.
In the end I tend to judge music like I judge food. After leaving the show, I wasn't invigorated or energetic– I just headed straight home to hit the sack. The next time Pork Tornado rolls through town, I might just skip the show and wait for something healthier and pleasing (like Phish) to satisfy me.

The Scary Secret Lives of Replacement Refs
The unemployment numbers refuse to budge, the staggering cost of entitlements threatens to bring this society to its knees, and the approaching fiscal cliff could send the U.S. economy plummeting back into recession. But judging from all the gnashing of teeth, the No. 1 topic in America today is the appalling incompetence of the replacement refs the National Football League has sent out as substitutes for the striking professionals.
The replacement refs are (not to put too fine a point on it) a joke. They blow calls. They miss obvious penalties. They lose control of games. Fights break out all over the place because the refs lack the authority to make the players knock it off. Hearts are broken, tailgate parties turn into bloodbaths, little kids go to bed in tears, and gamblers lose fortunes because of the refs' colossal blunders.
One faux-zebra actually got sidelined by the league Sunday because he was all set to officiate a Saints-Panthers game until somebody spotted him decked out in Saints regalia on his Facebook page. Talk about a conflict of interest: It's like letting Al Gore rule on the validity of George Bush's hanging chads.
Everyone agrees that the replacement refs are an embarrassment to the league and a threat to the sanity of the Republic. Most fans would like to see them banned, horsewhipped, prosecuted, imprisoned, perhaps even deported.
Football fans, normally an easygoing, fun-loving lot, are apoplectic. Sure, they concede, players are occasionally guilty of halfhearted blocking, ill-advised passes, botched field goals, asinine double reverses, inexcusable fumbles. And at least a handful of the league's head coaches are idiots. But player miscues and inept coaching are a very minor factor here. By and large, it's the replacement refs who have brought all this misery upon us.
But it gets worse. An Irish tabloid has just revealed that a cabal of unscrupulous replacement refs, several of whom work as unscrupulous paparazzi in real life, are responsible for the topless Kate Middleton photos. Replacement refs are also believed to have been the eminences grises behind the Chicago teachers strike. Worse still, investment bankers moonlighting as replacement refs are responsible for the Facebook IPO debacle.
And that's just the tip of a remarkably destructive iceberg. It was the replacement refs' idea to inflate the federal deficit to $1.3 trillion. Replacement refs encouraged the Spanish to go on an insane building frenzy that has now crippled that nation. In some circles it's even believed that replacement refs are responsible for Barbra Streisand's ominous decision to go out on tour this fall. They will stop at nothing! And who wrote Mitt Romney's speech about the pathetic, whining 47% of Americans who think of themselves as victims? You guessed it: replacement refs.
There was a time, not terribly long ago, when LeBron James got blamed for everything that went wrong in this society. To be fair, Mr. James really was at fault for most of the misfortunes that befell America between 2008 and 2011. Before him, it was Jimmy Carter who got blamed for literally every negative development between 1976 and 1992: inflation, crime, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, John Tesh's career. Before him, it was Herbert Hoover. But those days are long gone. Low returns on five-year CDs, dismal rates on variable annuities, juvenile obesity and even chronic allergies stemming from a plague of out-of-control dust mites can all be laid at the feet of the replacement refs.
When will this blight end? It had better be quick. A lot of people picked the Ravens over the Eagles last Sunday, and the Ravens would have won in a walk had the replacement refs not blown an obvious fourth-quarter pass interference call in the end zone. Because of that screw-up, bank accounts got emptied, families imploded, friendships came to a bitter end, and no one in Maryland got a lick of work done on Monday. So please, Commissioner Goodell, please bring back the real refs. We'll never, ever say a bad thing about them again. We promise.

Teens and Youth
Talking To Your Child About Relationships
As a parent, it may often seem confusing to speak to your teenager about romantic relationships. This article gives a few useful pointers for future discussions.
Talking to your Teen About Self-Harm
A situation where one's child is harming oneself is the last thing a parent is prepared to face. This can be especially confusing when the child continues to self-harm but says that there are no thoughts of ending one's life. This article will help you understand what Self-Harm is and tell you how you can talk to your teenager about the same.
Resolving Parent-Teen Conflict
When you consider what is going on during adolescence, a certain amount of squabbling and argument isn't surprising. Arguments often arise out of a clash of roles. As they mature, your teenager's job is to gain greater independence from you. Your job is to protect your teenager as much as possible as he or she exercises more freedom and acts more autonomously.
3 Steps to Connect With Your Child
Communicating with children is not just one of the most pleasurable and rewarding experiences for both parent and child, but it also plays a major role in developing the personality of your child. This article will to help you learn certain communication tips that could enhance your relationship with your child.
Prepare Your Child for the Teens
Teenagers. Even the word is enough to strike terror in a parent's heart! If you've watched other parents with their teenage children or you have an older teenager yourself, you know this can be a very trying period for you and your child. There are a lot of adjustments to be made and anxieties to face, but you can also look forward to exciting changes in your child's development. This is where the Boy Scouts' motto "be prepared" can really help.
Bodily Changes in Girls
A girl's body goes through dramatic changes during puberty. Know what to expect so that you can prepare your daughter in advance.
Teaching Children to Handle Failure
Failure is something that none of us are comfortable with and if it were possible, we would very likely banish from this world! But that again depends on what our conditioning and beliefs are about failure. What did the significant adults in our lives teach us about success and failure or how did they handle failure? Herein lie vital clues about our own belief systems, the influence this has on our take on the matter and how we talk to our children about failure.
Are Our Children Overusing Electronic Media?
One of the biggest concerns that parents have today is the way technology and media have taken over their children's lives. Let's face it. We live in a world governed by technology and stay connected through social media. Interaction between people is more often through electronic media rather than in person, even if the person is sitting across your cubicle in office! This trend extends to our children as well.
Coping with an Empty Nest
Children have the ability to crawl into all the spaces in our hearts and life. We often wonder what we were doing with our time before they were born! Our life revolves around their school, after school activities, health and emotions. Even our holidays are centered on their interests and needs. So when it is time to send them away to college overseas or another town for further education, or even marriage, it can be heart wrenching.
Body Changes in Adolescent Boys
Changes for a boy during puberty are less defined. However, there are signs and changes that we need to prepare our sons for. In this articles we explain the changes to help you as parents to talk about it with your sons.

Just as the converts in Galatia were struggling to understand how their new faith in Christ affected their identity, so I have heard Chinese Singaporean Christians struggle to define their identity as Christians in response to constant negative references in the media to "Christian/Western values." This equation of Christian values and Western values implies that when Chinese people become Christians, they abandon their Chinese identity and become Westerners. Unfortunately, conversions to the Christian faith are often accompanied by such a change in cultural identity, which seems to be required by strong Western influences both in society and in the church. As a result there is often a painful confusion of identity. "I feel like I'm not really a true Christian unless I give up my Chinese identity and become thoroughly Westernized," one young Chinese Christian man told me. "But I don't understand why I have to adopt so much of the Western culture and deny my own Chinese heritage in order to be a true Christian."
Similar questions have been raised in every age and culture as converts to the Christian faith wrestle to understand their identity as Christians. Even in so-called Christian countries, Christians need to discern the difference between their identity as God's children and the identity offered by the dominant forces of the surrounding culture.
It is helpful in the context of this discussion about the Christian's sense of identity to reflect on Paul's response to the identity crisis faced by the Galatian Christians. They were adrift in a no man's land between the pagan temples and the Jewish synagogues. They belonged to neither. They had abandoned the gods and religious practices of the temples. But they did not attend the Jewish synagogues, nor were they welcome there, even though they read the Jewish Scriptures and believed in a Jewish Messiah. As new Christians without a clear sense of identity, they were easily persuaded that if they acquired a Jewish identity they would belong to the people of God. They were probably reminded that the mother church in Jerusalem was a law-observant Jewish church. So if they really wanted to belong to the true church, they would have to be Jewish. They were in the process of receiving circumcision and the law so that they could belong to the people who claimed to be the true recipients of God's blessing.
In Galatians 3:6-9 we see how Paul defines the identity of the Galatian believers: he compares them to Abraham (v. 6), then he identifies them as children of Abraham on the basis of a common family characteristic (v. 7); he confirms that identification by quoting Scripture (v. 8), and on that basis he includes them in the family blessing (v. 9). Our own sense of identity can be clarified and strengthened as we trace the steps in this identification process.
After his questions in 3:1-5, designed to evoke a reaffirmation of faith, Paul points to the story of Abraham's faith: Consider Abraham. Since Abraham is the father of God's people, his experience with God establishes a guide to the will of God for his people. If the experience of the Galatians can be shown to correspond to the experience of the patriarch, then their experience conforms to the will of God. Verse 6 begins with a comparative conjunction (missing in the NIV): [Just as Abraham] believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness. Paul shows the striking similarity between the experience of the Galatians, who believed the preaching of the cross and received the blessing of the Spirit, and the experience of the great patriarch of God's people, who believed God's promise and received the crediting of righteousness. Paul draws two significant parallels between the Galatians' experience and Abraham's experience: the human response of faith and the divine blessing enjoyed by those who believe.
The human response of faith. The Galatian believers were being excluded from the family of Abraham because they did not have the required membership badge: circumcision and works of the law. "After all," they had probably been told, "circumcision is the sign of the Abrahamic covenant, and Genesis 17 declares that anyone without this sign is to be cut off from the covenant family. So you uncircumcised Gentiles cannot possibly be included in the Abrahamic family and blessing. You don't belong!" It must have been very upsetting, as it always is, to be excluded from the blessing of God and the fellowship of God's people on the basis of racial, social and religious entrance requirements.
But Paul quotes Genesis 15:6 to prove that faith is the only entrance requirement for full membership in the family of God. The close parallel between verses 5 and 6 of Galatians 3 sets Abraham's faith in contrast to the works of the law. Keeping all the requirements of the law is not the way to belong to the covenant family of God. Faith is the way to enter into a relationship with God.
The content of Abraham's faith is not specified in verse 6, but in verse 8 Paul asserts that the gospel was announced in advance to Abraham, the gospel of blessing for Gentiles. So it is not stretching the text at all to draw the conclusion that Paul sees Abraham's faith as a response to this gospel of blessing for the Gentiles. The context of Genesis 15:6 indicates that the content of Abraham's faith was God's promise of an innumerable offspring. One clear night God challenged Abraham to count the stars. Then God gave Abraham his promise: "So shall your offspring be" (Gen 15:5). When Abraham heard God's promise, he believed. His faith was a response to God's promise.
The content of the Galatians' faith is essentially the same. Their faith is believing what they heard (vv. 2, 5). What they heard was the gospel of blessing for Gentiles through the cross of Christ. So the comparison of the response of faith of Abraham and the Galatians points to a remarkable similarity that cannot be denied. No wonder, then, that Paul commands the Galatians to draw the appropriate conclusion from this comparison with Abraham: they belong to the Abrahamic family. But before we look at that conclusion, we need to examine the other side of the comparison.
The divine blessing. Believing what was heard is the basic parallel between the experience of the Galatians and the experience of Abraham. But by quoting the entire text of Genesis 15:6, Paul also sets up a parallel between the bestowal of the Spirit upon the Galatians and the crediting of righteousness to Abraham. This parallel points to the close connection between the bestowal of the Spirit and the crediting of righteousness. Paul's line of argument seems to be that the observable experience of the bestowal of the Spirit is evidence of the unobservable act of God's judicial acquittal that brings the believer within the covenant relationship. Miracles (3:5), the heart-cry of "Abba" (4:6) and the fruit of the Spirit (5:22-26) provide solid evidence of the bestowal of the Spirit. And the bestowal of the Spirit indicates that the crediting of righteousness has taken place.
Paul takes his readers back to the beginning of the story of God's family. Abraham believed God: that was how the covenant relationship with God began. As Paul argues throughout this chapter, the terms of the relationship have not been changed. This comparison with Abraham demonstrates the unity of the Bible. Receiving the blessing of God by faith is the central theme of the entire story of God's people, from the first page to the last.
The comparison drawn in verse 6 between the experience of Abraham and that of the Galatians requires the conclusion of verse 7: Understand, then, that those who believe are children of Abraham. The common family trait of faith is the decisive factor. Anyone characterized by that trait is definitely identified as a member of the family.
We might have expected the conclusion in verse 7 that God credits righteousness to all those who are of faith. That conclusion would have been more closely related to the previous verse's quotation of Genesis 15:6. But the fact that Paul's conclusion has to do with the identity of the children of Abraham shows that this was the major concern. The troublemakers insisted that circumcision was the indispensable sign of the covenant family. Paul uses Genesis 15:6 to prove that only those who believe can legitimately make the claim that they belong to the people of God as children of Abraham.
Faith is the true sign of covenant. In the context Paul clearly defines faith as faith in Jesus Christ (v. 16). So now identification with Christ by faith, rather than identification with the Jewish nation by circumcision and works of the law, provides the basis of belonging to God's covenant family.
The continuity between Israel, the "children of Abraham," and the church is clearly stated here: Christians have roots; they have a clear identity; they belong to the ancient people of God that began with Abraham.
The radical conclusion drawn from Genesis 15:6 is confirmed by a second quotation: The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: "All nations will be blessed through you" (v. 8). It was not enough to show that those who believe are the children of Abraham. Paul proves that the principle of righteousness by faith attested for Abraham in Genesis 15:6 is explicitly extended by Scripture itself to the Gentiles. In Paul's quotation the phrase all nations from Genesis 18:18 is inserted in place of the phrase "all the families" (NIV "all peoples") in Genesis 12:3. This combination of texts in his quotation indicates that Paul's primary purpose is to demonstrate that Scripture witnesses to the inclusion of the Gentiles in the blessing promised to Abraham.
Paul interprets the promise of the blessing of all Gentiles in Abraham as a prophecy of what actually happened in his mission to the Gentiles. We must not forget that Paul wrote this letter as a missionary. He was called to take the good news about Jesus to the Gentiles. When he did so, he saw the incontestable evidence that God accepted the Gentiles who believed the gospel. It was clear that God justified them by faith. The evidence that this had happened was the bestowal of the Spirit on these Gentile converts. Paul had learned from his missionary experience that God would justify the Gentiles by faith (v. 8). In the light of that missionary experience, Paul understood the Old Testament promise of blessing for the Gentiles as a description and validation of his ministry.
Scripture foresaw what happened to the Gentile believers in Galatia. And because Scripture foresaw that God would justify Gentiles when they believed the gospel, Scripture announced the gospel in advance to Abraham. The gospel announced in advance to Abraham was a gospel of blessing for Gentiles. That was the gospel Paul preached to the Gentiles! To say that Scripture foresaw and announced the gospel in advance is to personify Scripture. The written text is treated as a person who sees and speaks. Paul's personification of Scripture means that for him the written text expresses the voice of God: what Scripture says, God says.
The blessing promised to Abraham for all nations is appropriated by those who have faith. This application in verse 9 of verse 8's quotation from Scripture is parallel to the application in verse 7 of the Scripture quotation in verse 6. Both applications have as subject those who have faith. Two related descriptions are given of those who have faith: they are children of Abraham (v. 7), and they are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith (v. 9). The point Paul is making from his exposition of the Old Testament narrative of Abraham is that the Galatian believers are Abraham's children and recipients of Abraham's blessing.
What exactly is this blessing? In the Old Testament story God promised to bless Abraham with innumerable offspring and a land in which they would dwell. But in the context of Paul's application of this story, the blessing enjoyed by those of faith is transformed into a twofold spiritual blessing. In verse 8 Paul's introduction to the scriptural promise clearly equates the justification of the Gentiles by faith with the blessing. And the presence of the Spirit described in verses 2, 5 and 14 is presented as the observable evidence that the Galatian believers are recipients of the blessing. So justification and the gift of the Spirit are two dimensions of the blessing presented by Paul. God's declaration that Gentile believers are accepted as righteous and God's demonstration of his presence by his Spirit in the midst of the Galatian churches constitute the blessing enjoyed by faith.
Faith has been the emphasis in this section. Noun and verb forms of faith occur seven times in verses 1-9. No longer will anyone be excluded from the blessing on the basis of race; those of faith from all nations enjoy the blessing. Abraham is now the prototype of the universal people of faith, not simply the progenitor of the Jewish race. So it is not necessary to belong to the Jewish race to participate in the blessing of Abraham. All that is necessary is faith like Abraham's.
Just as the Galatian believers did not need to take on a Jewish identity in order to be Christians--their true identity as full members of the family of faith was based on their faith in Christ, not on their racial or social status--so today believers in every nation need to be encouraged to find their true identity in Christ, not in the attainment of a new ethnic identity.

I am also well up for commiting to zero all-male bills organised by us for the whole month. So far this looks likely whether we commit to it or not, which doesn't surprise me as the only all-male bills I've seen at Forest in the last year have been wholly outside jobs.
I like this too, and the wider commitment for August (to be clear though: when I said male-only bills are commonplace, I didn't mean in Forest).

Transferring / Re: 3.33 GPA on a B curve to GULC from WCL (American)?« on: January 25, 2008, 09:22:52 PM »
A 3.3 is likely too low for GULC EA. If you get high grades at the end of this semester, like 3.7 or so, you might have a shot. Just like in regular law school apps, ECs don't mean a whole lot. It's mostly about the grades.
Go through the transferapps database.
To the other posters, a 3.45 probably isn't going to cut it either.
I'm a moderator at transferapps I wanted to get the opinion of here though. Yeah, I can tell that the 3.3 isn't going to cut it; I didn't have illusions that it was that great in the first place, but after learning that it is a B+ curve instead of a B curve, I'm definitely not going to make the cut (good of AU to tell us these things huh?)

Airlines waiting for a reason to spend millions of dollars to equip their fleets with next-generation (NextGen) communications, navigation and surveillance (CNS) technology may see more convincing arguments from the FAA in the very near future.
Along with the awarding of a contract to establish and operate a domestic data-link system that includes $80 million in financial help for equipage, the agency also is nearing completion of a public-private partnership that may provide more than $1 billion to help cover buying and installing NextGen CNS avionics.
The financial aid, along with increasingly relevant demonstration projects at key airports, is meant to provide a skittish airline industry with evidence that equipage will equal savings, an equation the agency says will not hold true if "critical mass" of retrofitted aircraft is not reached.
"The FAA needs to show some little victories," said Gerald Dillingham, director of physical infrastructure for the Government Accountability Office (GAO), at a NextGen avionics conference last month in Atlantic City. "In the past, the sense has been that airlines are equipping and the FAA is not following through. If we could get to the point where airlines see the benefits, hopefully that will increase the credibility of the program."
One example is American Airlines' investment in a controller-pilot-data-link-communications (CPDLC) trial in which the carrier equipped 25 aircraft with technology that allowed for a variety of commands to be sent and received via text. Trials began in 2002 but the FAA ended the program in 2004 due to limited participation and growing costs.
Data-Based ATM
Now, the hard feelings with American Airlines may have been resolved.
The FAA in mid-September selected Harris Corp. to install and operate a data-link communications network, known as "datacomm," to transform what is largely a voice-controlled air traffic control system today to a data-based air traffic management system for the next decade.
Teamed with Harris under the seven-year, $331 million Data Communications Integrated Services (DCIS) contract is American, along with GE Aviation, Arinc, Thales and others.
Peter Challan, VP of industry affairs for Harris, notes that some of American's aircraft are already equipped with the necessary avionics from the CPDLC trials and "we'll equip others" for demonstrations at five initial airports in the 2015 timeframe.
The FAA has not announced which airports will be selected.
The long-term benefit of datacomm will be the evolution to real-time coordination of flight-management system parameters automatically between the ground and the air, paving the way for 4-D trajectory-based operations (TBO).
With 4-D TBO, an aircraft will arrive at a desired waypoint within seconds of a pre-determined time in the flight plan, boosting capacity while decreasing congestion and fuel burn as well as human errors related to voice and data entry. Operators of legacy aircraft will either need new equipment or system upgrades to participate.
FAA says the "tipping point" to optimize user benefits of datacomm is about 1,900 aircraft.
The agency is hoping that airlines, seeing the benefits of DCIS through early demonstrations at the five airports starting in 2015, will want to voluntarily equip, a different tactic than the agency used for automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B)-"out," the satellite-based surveillance system that will replace much of the legacy radar network after a 2020 equipage mandate comes due. The agency contracted with ITT Exelis in 2007 to deploy and operate the NextGen surveillance system, ADS-B. The system is expected to be fully operational in 2013, though aircraft operators will have until 2020 comply with the avionics mandate.
Demonstrated Merits
Dillingham says a "top challenge" for convincing airlines of the merits of NextGen in the near term is to demonstrate benefits from avionics already installed on an aircraft, including performance-based navigation (PBN) systems. PBN includes GPS approaches that mimic instrument landing system (ILS) Category 1 approaches (200-ft. decision height and 1/4-mi. visibility) and required navigation performance (RNP) procedures. With RNP, the aircraft is certified to maintain a predetermined accuracy in position and altitude, with real-time updates displayed to specially trained pilots via the avionics as the aircraft flies a custom-designed approach that can curve around noise-sensitive areas or obstructive terrain.
The FAA's "Greener Skies" demonstration at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and nearby Boeing Field is meant to test RNP benefits for broader use. The initial project is one of many NextGen demonstrations under way, completed or envisioned, similar in number to the projects taking place in Europe under the Single European Sky ATM research (Sesar) program.
Locally created with national collaboration, the Greener Skies test—with Alaska Airlines as lead carrier—involves RNP approach procedures that diminish noise and increase the rate of arrivals to Sea-Tac's closely spaced parallel runways in instrument meteorological conditions.
The Boeing-led trial, when it is completed and operational in 2013, in theory will be rolled out at many other U.S. airports once relevant separation standards are changed.
Per air traffic control rules for the ILS approach, aircraft arriving to the runways on the straight-in ILS approach end up queuing for the final approach 15 nm or more from the airport, but with the PBN approach, one aircraft is brought in on a precise curved path that cuts the final approach distance to about 6 nm, says FAA avionics systems branch manager, Bruce DeCleene.
"It is applicable to all airports with parallel runways," says DeCleene. "Every major airport in the U.S. has parallel runways."
Unless equipage rates are high, however, controllers may not have the capacity to offer the most-efficient approaches to the best-equipped few, which comes back to the FAA's quandary of how to entice airlines to equip.
Loan Guarantees
Michael Dyment, general partner in the NextGen equipage fund, says deferred payments on loans for the needed avionics may be one answer. The fund, in the works for years, became a reality with the February FAA reauthorization, which Dyment says included a provision that cleared the way for the NextGen fund to gain a federal loan guarantee, which he expects to have in hand by year-end.
The fund at present includes $100 million in equity from aerospace industry partners, including ITT Exelis, the FAA's ADS-B infrastructure prime contractor, and $1 billion in anticipated loans. Dyment expects the entire amount to be spoken for within one year, assuming the loan guarantees are approved by the government. "There are trillions more in funding looking for good projects," says Dyment.
Under the program—to be operated in partnership with the FAA—airlines will secure operating leases for the avionics via the fund, with the option of deferred payments. The fund would retain the title to the equipment, allowing the "purchase" to be "off the balance sheet" for the airline. As an example, Dyment says the fund is "willing to defer lease payments" for onboard data-link equipment needed for DCIS "until the FAA starts offering the service."
The retrofit cost per plane? Dyment says the "average" cost for a CNS retrofit is expected to be $370,000, though it varies greatly based on the magnitude of the upgrade.

You've got tech questions, here are the answers. Kim Komando helps you make the most of your technology by answering your thorniest tech questions. So if you're wondering what to buy, how to plug it in, or how to fix it, Kim can help.
Is your data safe in the cloud?
Question: I know everyone is pushing the cloud, but I don't trust it. Is my data really safe when I put it up there?
Answer: For the most part, yes. The more popular cloud companies — Dropbox (iTunes/Android), Google Drive, Amazon, etc. — have very advanced servers that you can usually trust for reliability. You're much more likely to have your own computer crash than for those companies to have a total server meltdown, although the occasional outage isn't unexpected. Now, you do have to worry a little bit about security. Between hacks on high-profile sites and companies like Google giving your data to law enforcement, you might think twice. However, most of those realities are true of any online service, and you're just one out of millions of users. Just make sure you know how a company responds to these privacy concerns before you use any of its services.
Can TVs have too much color?
Question: I'm shopping for a new HDTV. I keep seeing stuff on the boxes that say "more than one-hundred percent of the color spectrum." How is that even possible?
Answer: I don't blame you for being confused. HDTVs use a color gamut called ITU-R Recommendation BT.709 or Rec.709 for short. That's the standard used to create most video. It doesn't display every color the eye can see, just most of the common ones. TV manufacturers will try to outdo this by displaying more than the required gamut. They want you to believe this will lead to a better picture, but it often leads to over-saturation of color. The best test for color isn't any marketing ploy, but your own eye. Use that to judge your HDTV's color. If you want to make the colors better, you can calibrate your display with THX's app and TweakTV.
Easily filter your inbox
Question: I've gotten in trouble recently for missing a couple of important emails from my boss. How can I make sure I see those emails before I see any others?
Answer: Most email services allow you to set up filters for incoming email. Some even let you color code and label your email with ease. Set up a folder labeled "Urgent" and direct any email from your boss' email address to that folder. Then, set up a "Read Later" folder for mail that you don't have to respond to right away. If you want more advanced filtering options, use programs like Outlook or the free Thunderbird. They have filtering features that you won't find in Web mail. They're also great for handling multiple email accounts in one location.
Delete your Google search history
Question: I heard that Google keeps my search history. Is this true? Can I delete it?
Answer: Yes and yes. You can find what sort of history Google has on you at history.google.com/history. You might have to sign in with your Google account to see everything. Click the checkbox next to any item and click "Remove item" to get rid of it. Once your information is removed, click the gear icon in the upper right corner and choose Settings. Select Turn off your Web history to stop most of Google's recording. However, Google will still keep some things for its own use. To stop it completely, switch to a more anonymous search engine like DuckDuckGo.
Save on prescription drugs
Question: My prescriptions are driving me to the poor house. Are there any sites or apps that can help me save?
Answer: I know quite a few, actually. Together Rx Access has savings on almost 250 prescriptions, but there are some eligibility requirements. Your income has to be below a certain level and you can't already have public or private prescription drug coverage. If you don't meet those eligibility requirements, you might find help on Needymeds. The site combs grants, vouchers and patient-assistance programs that you might qualify for. If those don't help, an app called Lowrx can help you save 75 percent on some of your prescriptions.

Editor's Note: Due to Hurricane Sandy, there will be no "Futures Now" show on Tuesday, Oct. 30.
The "Perfect Storm" is pushing the price of crude over the edge.
Crude oiltraded slightly higher Tuesday, with a weaker U.S. dollar relieving demand concerns, and an oversupply caused by Hurricane Sandy. The energy floor at the New York Mercantile Exchange will remained closed for a second-straight session on Tuesday because of Hurricane Sandy, the first two-day weather-related shutdown of the markets since 1888. In turn, volumes will likely be much lighter than usual.
(Read More: How the Decision to Close Wall Street Came About.)
I will continue to look for resistance building against $86.50, as yesterday's high was $86.43. It will be important for oil traders to look for any definitive answer on when refineries could intend to turn back to full production capacity. With a weaker dollar that has seen the U.S. Dollar Index struggle around $80.30, a close back below $80 will help commodity prices ahead of Chinese manufacturing data Wednesday evening. Also, as the storm makes bets on oil less measured as to risk, if oil cannot close below $84.94, it may cause short covering today.
(Read More: Oil Markets Brace for 'Demand Destruction' After Sandy.)
So how am I looking to trade oil right now?
Upon a close below these levels I will be looking to add to short positions, with the next major support level coming in at $82.16. Only a close back above $88 will put this market back into neutral-to-bullish territory.

Secondhand Open Scrimmage Notes
There'll be notes about different players, but this post will be AK-centric because…well, just because :)
Tweets from David Locke and KSL's Tom Kirkland:
Locke also noted on his blog:
Paul Millsap and Andrei Kirilenko were the best players on the floor. AK played exclusively at the 4 and impacted the game a great deal. Millsap was hustle and grit.
Tweets from UtahJazz360 blogger Diana (whose post on the scrimmage can be found here):
Others Notes:
–I'm SUPER disappointed in the vets for letting the rookies get away with dancing only 10 seconds each during the Rookie Dance-Off. Ryan Thompson won, but the crowd chanted for Fes and he was of course happy to oblige. Fesenko vs. Koufos 2008 will always be the gold standard by which all future dance-offs will be judged. There's one of Koufos' two Jazz legacies right there (the other being "Boom Bitches" of course). Weak sauce video:
Note: The "weak sauce" is in reference to the quality of dancing, not the quality of the video.
–AK likes the new unis and said that the old mountain uniforms weighed about 10 lbs. once they got soaked with sweat.
–Big Al said that AK has been helping him on defense in the post and talking him through plays.
–CJ suffered a sprained wrist while trying to block a Millsap shot. It's not believed to be serious, and CJ is adamant that he didn't foul Sap. Jerry, meanwhile, says that CJ needs to be working and competing harder.
–Jeremy Evans is just impressing everyone. According to AK, Evans has the entire team jealous of his jumping ability and the ease with which he can get up in the air. Meanwhile, Jerry said that Jeremy might look even more athletic than he is because he's so light and skinny.
–Big Al says that sometimes his mind goes blank on offense, but that the coaches have been understanding and he's spending a lot of time watching tape at home.
–It appears that Elson won over a lot of fans with his play during the scrimmage.
–It's clear that there's definitely still a lot of things that have to get worked out, and that can only come with more practice time and playing together. That doesn't dampen my excitement in the least though.
If you're hungry for more, give this a read.

It is still a bit early for the networks to announce their cuts, renewals and orders but that is planed to happen mid May unless the news leak out early. Rumors last week say that Heroes has been renewed for a final season already, personally I couldn't care less
Last weeks sad news is that Legend of the Seeker and 10 Things I Hate About You have been canceled. The later might not upset many of you but LOTS will be missed by many.
I put the videos at the end.
Monday April 3
Monday is a good day for us genre viewers in sheer quality.
Chuck vs the Role Models (NBC) takes the newlyweds into training with another married pair of Agents, but they hate each other which screws up Chuck and Sarah's mushy minds. Meanwhile Casey is supposed to train their new agent, Morgan. I am already smiling in anticipation. [Video below]
The Big Bang Spegetti Catalyst (CBS) features Sheldon as the in between. Leonard and Penny aren't speaking and Sheldon tries to keep them both happy which is sure to amuse, a lot.
Castle (ABC) has Food to Die for when a high profile chef is found Frozen to death in the Kitchen of a hot NY resturant. Complications ensure as Castle and the restaurant owner, an old high school girlfriend of Beckett, share an attraction. Meanwhile, Beckett's relationship with Detective Demming continues to grow. This looks like a great episode, the whole dynamic between Beckett and Castle is what makes Castle such a enjoyable show. [Videos below]
Of the non SF series you might want to check out Romantically Challenged (ABC) or Rules of Engagement (CBS). They go to a high school reunion respective look for a surrogate mother.
Tuesday May 4
It's sad that the genre shows on Tuesdays don't hold as much for me as the non-genre shows do.
In V the aliens tries to win the Hearts and Minds with the creepy live aboard program, Anna invites Tyler to join. Time for the freezers? The V sends a shuttle load of deadly V trackers after the fifth column and they have to stop it before it can land, unfortunately they might have been missinformed. V is on the bubble for renewal/cancellation and I don't care about the numbers as much as the networks do but so far V has failed to hook me in, I hope that it will soon. It worries me I couldn't find any action shots in the promotional photos. [videos below]
Lost shows the Candidate but I am not following that show. All the fans are excited about the series finale that is coming up now in May.
In NCIS (CBS) Anthony DiNozzo finds lady trouble in Obssesion.
Glee (FOX) is about Bad Reputation as a certain list circulate the school and Sue's private music video of Olivia Newton-John's classic 'Physical' surfaces.
Peter's electronic monitor goes off as he chases The Good Wife (CBS) out of the apartment and her kids are covering for him. Alicia has her job cut out for her, again. This redemption thing works so well and the talented cast is a joy. [videos below]
In Justified Raylan invest the apparent suicide of a financial wizard, Owen Carnes. The widow Caryn knows more than she is letting on, making the case hard on Raylan.
Wednesday May 5
When his father chops off his hand Deputy Tommy Conroy is reluctantly forced to take over as the new sheriff of Haplin, the Happy Town. He has to investigate the recent murder and the return of the little towns dirty little secret serial killer, the Magic Man. Meanwhile perky Henley is determined to get to the secret third floor of the Boarding house.
You might want to check out Cougar Town where they consider friends with benefits.
Thursday May 6
After last weeks 'musical' episode Fringe is back to normal. Peter helps local law enforcement with a serial killer investigation with ties to Newton. Meanwhile Walter have to deal with maybe having to go back to the loony bin. Someone from the 'other side' pay's a visit using the Northwest Passage? I wonder if we get any Peter – Walter resolution this episode? Do you know?
Supernatural (CW) is Two Minutes to Midnight when Bobby sells his soul to Crowley to avoid the Apocalypse and the Winchesters tangle with Pestilence who puts a deadly virus on them forcing Castiel to intervene. Dean goes head to head with Death and forms an unholy alliance at a high price for himself, in the hunt for the four rings they need to put the devil back into his underworld cage. Mark Sheppard who plays Crowley is such a glorious bastard, I can see where this is heading.
FlashForward goes on my save-to-watch pile, in the hope they will be better if I watch them all together. Someone is murdering the people that think they survived their flash forward fates and Mark helps Simon track down his missing sister.
Isobel returns to Mystic Falls in Vampire Diaries (CW). Mother and daughter finally meets, but Isobel refuses to answer most of Elena's question but reveals she isn't going to stop at nothing to find the mysterious invention Johnathan Gilbert has been searching for. Isobel's dangerous actions lead Stefan, Damon and Bonnie to step in and help Elena deal with the situation.
Friday May 7
Friday is still SciFi Friday, but that might change next season. Syfy has allready decided to move it's SciFi shows to Tuesdays when they return in autumn.
SGU is about Sabotage when one of the twelve FTL drive modules on the Destiny explode due to an overload, the crew calls upon a brilliant scientist from Earth to help find a solution. Nothing about what happened to Eli, Chloe and Scott? They where stranded at the end of last episode I would like to see how that play out.
Much to Clark's surprise Martha Kent returns to Smallville with her new boyfriend Perry White. Perry and Lois get into trouble perusing a story about the Red Queen while Clark and Chloe search for the Book of Rao, which they think contains information they need to stop Zod. As the episode is named Hostage I think you can see where this is going.
Take a look at Gravity on Starz if you have the possibility.
Ariel becomes alarmed as she starts to loose large chunks of time in her life on Medium.
Melissa investigates an unresolved kidnapping that put her at more danger than anticipated in Ghost Whisperer.
Saturday May 8
We are lucky to have Legend of the Seeker on Saturdays, this week Rhal capture Cara and turn her against Richard as the Series Finale approach in Eternity. Richard and Kahlan discover the Stone of Tears is in a magical land from which they cannot leave; a surprise reunion lures Cara and Zedd into a deadly confrontation… I always thought Goodkin's books where on the kinky side and this looks like another kinky episode.
The Doctor is recruited by Father Octavian to track the last of the Weeping Angels through the terrifying Maze of the Dead in this weeks on BBCA Doctor Who. As the Time Lord faces the Lonely Assassins, last seen in Blink, River Song is by his side. But can she be trusted?

Mrs. Young was proud of the farm's award-winning syrup (which she boiled herself), and she dedicated much of her time to promoting the maple industry in Vermont.
In the 1970s she began working at Young's Green Mountain Nursery along with her husband and sons. In 1978 the family bought out the nursery's founder and moved it to Tree Corners where they ran the business for ten years.
Mrs. Young had a rich social life and was active in the Irasburg and later, New Port Richey, Florida, communities. Whether she was at the Ladies Aid Society, Home Demonstration Club, the Grange, square dancing, the Barton fair, senior centers, or music jam sessions, she was always happiest when surrounded by friends.

For many years, Mrs. Young made flower arrangements for the church every Sunday.
Following the death of her husband in May of 2009, Mrs. Young lived with her son Danny in Westfield where she continued to garden and make new friends. She especially enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Edmodo is growing fast, and we're excited to welcome new educators! Our support team recently noticed a higher volume of teachers asking about how to keep Edmodo Groups secure so we've put together some best practices to follow when creating your groups:
1. Lock your groups: Once all of your students have joined your group, remember to lock the group. This will ensure no other members can join. Learn more.
2. Keep group codes private: Never post a group code publicly (i.e. on Twitter or your class website). If the code is posted, you should remove it and reset the code immediately to ensure that non-members do not get access to your group. In lieu of posting a group code, we encourage you to share the "join group URL", which allows you to approve or deny members. Learn more.
3. Set up a school or district subdomain: Having a subdomain allows all communication within your school or district to be viewed by administrators, providing full disclosure for teachers and students. It also enables better communication between schools in your district. Encourage your district administrator to sign up for a school or district subdomain, or, if you are a district administrator, claim a subdomain today.
For more security best practices, visit our Help Center.

Thanks for this information! Very good!
Follow these guidelines. I didn't at first ( didn't know to) and was flooded with profane material. Followed these guidelines this time and everything has been fine. Now if I could just tie my twitter in with Edmodo …
What happens if a new student needs access and the code is locked?
You can unlock the group and provide the new group code to that student.
Thanks for your information, its very important for me to improve my classroom, so that, I have to manage my class, In my country ( Indonesia) I am teaching many class, so with this guidlines, I have already to manage my class and my student.
Thanks for team edmodo, I am looking forward to next information
Is it possible to reset your group code, when you already have members in your group? For example, if you feel the code has been breached and you woud like to create a new code that you can than carefully manage to allow new members. Thanks!
Yes, you can reset your group code at anytime. Members who are in the group, will remain in the group. Any new members will need to use the new code to join.
