Excellence in Education
Public Schools
Galvestonians place a high regard on education as the means of improving their city and its residents. The city has a strong public school system and six private schools. Each year, high school graduates of Ball High School and O'Connell College Preparatory High School (a private Catholic school) are accepted by the top colleges and universities in the state. Some graduates continue their education on Galveston Island at one of three institutions of higher learning – Galveston College, The University of Texas Medical Branch, and Texas A&M University at Galveston.
Galveston Independent School District (GISD)
The district serves approximately 6,450 students on Galveston Island and Bolivar Peninsula. During the 2012-2013 school year, it operated two high schools, five middle schools and six elementary schools.
The boundary of those schools stretches from Oppe Elementary on the west end of Galveston Island to Crenshaw Elementary and Middle School in Crystal Beach on Bolivar Peninsula, a short ferry ride away.
The student body is ethnically and culturally diverse. About 45 percent of these enrolled are Hispanic, 23 percent are African American and 32 percent are Caucasian or other. The district employs nearly 1,000 staff members, making it the second largest employer in Galveston, behind UTMB. The annual operating budget for the last school year nearly topped $60 million.
Galveston ISD student enrollment is open to the children of non-Galveston residents who work within the boundaries of the school district. GISD also collaborates with Head Start and the YMCA to offer its pre-kindergarten program at various elementary schools.
The district follows a cutting-edge schools-of-choice model, allowing parents and students to select schools based on curriculum, not geography, a move that has attracted higher levels of enrollment. There are no school zones in GISD, opening more learning opportunities to the community.
All elementary schools offer a particular theme or focus, such as coastal studies at Oppe Elementary, international studies at Parker Elementary, research and problem-based learning at Early Childhood University, and science and engineering at Morgan Elementary.
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) rated the Austin Middle School Magnet of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math an Exemplary campus for the third year in a row for the 2010-11 school year under its Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS). The school also earned the honor of being named a National Title I Distinguished School Award recipient only one of two schools in the state of Texas and received a Blue Ribbon Award, the highest honor in education at the national level.
GISD also offers career and college preparatory schools, such as Scott Collegiate Academy (rated Recognized under the AEIS system), and accelerated instruction programs for elementary, middle and high school students.
Ball High School, founded in 1884, is the highest populated school in the district and one of the oldest in Texas. The class of 2012 included more than 400 graduates. Student in the Class of 2012 accepted placement at Stanford University, University of Texas at Austin, Texas A&M at College Station, Rice University, Baylor University, Alabama University and many other well-respected colleges. Ball High also features one of the best Advanced Placement (AP) programs in the country, leading The Washington Post to declare it one of the top schools in the U.S.A. in 2011 and Newsweek magazine to place it in the top six percent of high schools in the nation in 2010.
The school had more than 1,000 students enrolled in the AP program last year. More than 400 of them took at least one AP exam and nearly 700 Advanced Placement exams were taken for college credit. Nearly two hundred of those students passed the exams with a score of 3 or higher.
The schools career and technical education (CTE) department, with 14 different career pathways, is an initiative helped in part by Galveston College. Dual credit courses also are offered in conjunction with the college. More than 1,200 students take at least one CTE class.
Ball Preparatory Academy is a self-contained program on Ball High campus, an official Texas Science Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) program with a focused curriculum on those subjects. The program celebrated its first graduating class in May 2012.
KIPP Coastal Village, a public charter school under the GISD umbrella, serves pre-kindergarten through third grade and fifth and sixth grade for 2011-12 on separate elementary (721 10th St.) and middle school (1110 Moody Ave.) campuses. The program will grow to serve pre-kindergarten through eighth grade by 2013. The programs mission is to prepare students with the academic and intellectual skills, knowledge, habits and character traits necessary to succeed at all levels of pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, college and the competitive world beyond.
To support teachers, the Galveston ISD Educational Foundation was founded in 2001. To date, the foundation has awarded more than $2.1 million in grants to teachers and schools. The foundation collaborates with the district to support a variety of districtwide programs and has reached close to 20,000 students.
To supplement district initiatives, a knowledgeable grant-writing team has earned more than $70 million in grants in the past three years, one of the highest figures for any Texas school district. The grants fund programs that enhance student learning such as the Magnet Schools Initiative program (APEX schools), as well as
a $8.6 million performance-based compensation system to reward the most effective teachers.
GISD also takes pride in its community partnerships, serving as a vital member of the Galveston Chamber of Commerce Education Committee. GISD schools also have partnerships with Galveston College, UTMB, Texas A&M Galveston, Kiwanis International, both Galveston Rotary Clubs, Community in Schools, the Family Service Center and many more.

February 27, 2006
- Gastonia, NC - PSNC Energy, a wholly owned subsidiary of SCANA Corporation (NYSE: SCG), announced today that the North Carolina Utilities Commission has approved a decrease to the purchased gas component of the company's retail natural gas rates, effective for March bills. The decrease will lower the company's total year-round residential rate by almost four percent, from approximately $1.33 per therm to approximately $1.28 per therm. This translates into a monthly decrease of approximately $5 based on typical natural gas usage of 100 therms per month during the winter heating season, which runs November through March.
"This third consecutive decrease for the year gives our customers just a bit more relief as we head towards the end of 2005-2006 winter heating season," said PSNC Energy President and COO Rusty Harris.
PSNC Energy does not earn a profit on the "cost of gas" component of its natural gas rates. The adjustment is passed directly to customers in accordance with state regulations.
PSNC Energy, headquartered in Gastonia, N.C., is franchised to serve a 28-county service area in North Carolina. The utility distributes natural gas to approximately 430,000 customers in 96 cities and communities, including the Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill areas in the north central part of the state; the Concord, Statesville, Gastonia, and Forest City areas in the Piedmont; and the Asheville, Hendersonville, Brevard, and Sylva areas in the western part of the state. More information about PSNC Energy is available through the company's web site at www.psncenergy.com.
SCANA Corporation, a Fortune 500 company headquartered in Columbia, South Carolina, is an energy-based holding company principally engaged, through subsidiaries, in electric and natural gas utility operations and other energy-related businesses. The company serves approximately 610,000 electric customers in South Carolina and more than one million natural gas customers in South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia. Information about SCANA and its businesses is available on the company's website at www.scana.com.

The study assessed the consumption of antidepressants in Italy between 2000 and 2011 and identified trends in use.
Data on use of antidepressant drugs between 2000 and 2011 were collected from the Italian Medicines Agency database. Data were expressed as the daily defined dose (DDD) per 1,000 inhabitants. Trends in drug consumption were ascertained by logarithmic transformation of incidence rates by using the formula ln(y)=b × x, where y is the incidence rate, b is the regression coefficient, and x represents the calendar years. Time trends were expressed as expected annual percentage change (EAPC). A significance level of .05 was chosen.
Antidepressant consumption increased drastically between 2000 and 2011, from 8.18 to 36.12 DDD per 1,000 inhabitants per day. A single joinpoint (time point with a significant trend change) occurred in 2002 (EAPC=56.4%, 2000–2002, and 6.2%, 2002–2011). The trend analysis stratified by type of drug showed a huge increase in consumption of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and other antidepressants and a decrease in consumption of tricyclic antidepressants.
Mental disorders are less stigmatized now than in the past. In Italy and elsewhere, antidepressant use is growing, and it would be important to monitor this trend, especially considering the possible effects of the current economic crisis on mental health. In this scenario, the role of public health in mental health promotion has become fundamental.

quilt problem with liquid stitch.
By painting weaver
from Upland, California
I used it to baste down cloth before I stitched by machine around the raw edges for a quilt. But the on the dark fabric which happened to be a blend, the glue bled through creating shadows on the material and ruining the quilt. I have no way of getting rid of the glue. I am very unhappy!

text: contentComplementary Alternative Cancer Therapies Introduction What Are Complementary Alternative Therapies? Cancer Patient Nutrition Physical and Psychological Supportive Cam Therapies The Importance of Nutrition During Cancer Treatment Natural Strategies For Boosting Resistance to Cancer Preventing Tumor Spread Enhancing the Immune System Natural Strategies for Alleviating Cancer Symptoms Natural Strategies for Counteracting Adverse Effects from Conventional Cancer Treatment Clinical Trials Life Extension Suggestions What Are Complementary Alternative Therapies? Complementary alternative medical therapies (CAM) is a collective term for an array of remedies that lie outside what is traditionally considered conventional medical treatment for cancer. These include the use of herbal, vitamin, and nutritional supplements, as well as physical and psychological interventions such as exercise, relaxation, massage, prayer, hypnotherapy, and acupuncture (Deng G et al 2005; Hann D et al 2005; Molassiotis A et al 2005). The use of CAM as a component of integrated cancer treatment regimens may help patients reduce the side effects associated with conventional cancer treatments, alleviate symptoms, enhance immune function, and provide greater quality of (and control over) life (Deng G et al 2004, 2005). The use of CAM is popular among cancer patients undergoing conventional treatment (Hann D et al 2005; Molassiotis A et al 2005). Over 72 million patients used complementary alternative therapies in the past year (Tindle HA et al 2005) to help control their disease. In the United States, 91 percent of cancer patients implemented at least one form of CAM in addition to undergoing conventional cancer treatment (Yates JS et al 2005). The most popular forms of CAM were exercise, relaxation, and prayer (Yates JS et al 2005). Although most physicians acknowledge the benefits of physical and psychological CAM therapies, the role of nutritional and mineral supplements, particularly when used in conjunction with chemotherapy and radiation therapy, is an issue of considerable controversy.

Arizona Wildcats
Arizona Wildcats 2013 football schedule released
Four of Arizona's first five Pac-12 games will be away from the friendly confines of Arizona Stadium in Tucson.
The Pac-12's 2013 football schedule was released Thursday, and Arizona's is as follows:
Aug. 31 vs. Northern Arizona
Sept. 7 at UNLV
Sept. 14 vs. UTSA
Sept. 28 at Washington
Oct. 10 at USC
Oct. 19 vs. Utah
Oct. 26 at Colorado
Nov. 2 at California
Nov. 9 vs. UCLA
Nov. 16 vs. Washington State
Nov. 23 vs. Oregon
Nov. 30 at Arizona State
The October 10 matchup at USC will be played on a Thursday.
The Wildcats will not play Stanford or Oregon State this season, but will welcome both California and Washington State back to their schedule.
As for how the schedule looks, the Wildcats will follow what should be a fairly easy non-conference slate with a tough stretch of Pac-12 games. Four road contests in five tries will give a good idea of how good the team is, and if Arizona can survive that stretch could be poised for a strong finish.

Chair's Annual Statement
In support of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) within our multicultural, multinational community, in this South Texas Region, and in support of the College of Science and Engineering's as well as The University of Texas – Pan American's vision to be the Premier Learner Centered Research Institution in the State of Texas, the Department of Physics and Geology has experienced some special opportunities over the past year that enhances our ability in the short-, mid- and long-term time frames to enhance educational opportunities in the areas of Astronomy, Geology, Physical Sciences, and Physics. As Chair of the Department of Physics and Geology at the University of Texas – Pan American, this first year has provided me with many wonderful experiences some of which I would like to share with you below.
Through support from administrators including allocation of HEAF funds as provided by the President's Executive Council, through support from our community including community leaders, various departments as well as through support of numerous faculty both within and outside the Department, many of whom have gone above and beyond the call of duty, we as a Department have been provided with a significant opportunity to support and strengthen short-, mid- and long-term STEM education outreach in the South Texas Region through enhanced capabilities at The University of Texas – Pan American Planetarium. These enhancements: a new portable digital projector; surround sound system; several new movies; and, a portable dome; have since installation on 27 March 2008 provided increased STEM outreach as demonstrated through increased Planetarium attendance. The Planetarium may be used to engage our community and support programs like FESTIBA, HESTEC, STEM-based summer camps, Tuesday Observation Night, as well as other University special events like the Visitor's Center dinosaur exhibit "SUE". In addition to supporting Astronomy classes here at the University, the Planetarium may also support other classes where three-dimensional (3D) visualization may be important. The portable dome and portable digital projector allow us to mobilize the Planetarium so that we may take the Planetarium experience to schools, particularly schools that may not otherwise be able to attend the fixed Planetarium at the University of Texas – Pan American.
The Department of Physics and Geology in conjunction with the Department of Chemistry, the College of Education and in partnership with several area school districts partnered together to develop a much needed program, a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies (BSIS) in Physical Science (Chemistry and Physics), that provides our next generation of teachers in Chemistry and Physics with the opportunity for in-depth knowledge and understanding of Chemistry and Physics, provides future teachers training utilizing inquiry based teaching methods, provides for certification of teachers in both Chemistry and Physics, and, addresses the 2012 Texas statute that requires students to have introductory physics before graduating from high school. The BSIS in Physical Science program seeks top level high school graduates, as identified by individual school districts, whom may be provided with scholarships and who upon graduation from the program return back to the school district from which they came to provide at least two years of instruction in physics within that school district. Such highly trained teachers who know the problems within the community may better be able to address student learning needs at the high school level and thereby further enabling those students for success at the University level particularly in STEM related fields. The BSIS in Physical Science which is pending THECB approval may be implemented as early as the fall semester of 2009.
The Department of Physics and Geology through the diligent efforts of the Department Curriculum Committee evaluated, revised and strengthened the Physics Curriculum. For students majoring in Physics before fall 2008, they may continue with their current degree program or may utilize the new degree plan. For students that major in Physics beginning fall of 2008 or thereafter will utilize the new degree plan. The new curriculum adds various new mandatory courses that are more typical of physics programs from across the country and will better prepare our students upon graduation for gainful employment and/or provide them with improved opportunity to compete at the graduate level in Physics. The Physics Curriculum for majors is a four-year 122 hour degree program. To support this new curriculum and support University goals of reducing the students' time to graduation without reducing the quality of education, the Department will be improving its course offering schedule. The department has also worked closely with several other departments to review, evaluate and revise the scheduling of courses as well as prerequisite requirements that may assist students in reducing their time to graduation without reducing the quality of education delivered to the student.
The Department of Physics and Geology is improving the Department's, the College of Science and Engineering's and the University's ability to support and perform research as well as develop partnerships through the successful funding of two proposals: (1) "Supporting Government Laboratories Nationally as well as Industry and Education in the Rio Grande Valley Through X-ray Diffraction Facilities and Training" that brings $785,000.00 of Department of Defense (DoD) funding to support the University over the time period, 1 August 2008 to 1 August 2011. These monies in addition to supporting several students and faculty help provide state-of-the-science x-ray diffraction facilities (to the best of our knowledge the only such facilities in South Texas) that may be used to support a wide range of disciplines here at UTPA as well as provides opportunity to support and partner with various industry and government entities; and, (2) "The Impact of Interactive Engagement Teaching Approach using PDAs as Classroom Interaction System in a Predominately Hispanic Institution" that brings $149,790.00 of Nation Science Foundation (NSF) support to the University for interactive classroom instruction and education research for methods to improve student learning in Physical Sciences and Physics. Both funded proposals support the Department of Physics and Geology's, the College of Science and Engineering's and the University's vision of becoming the "Premier Learner Centered Research Institution" in the State of Texas.
Overall, the academic year 2007-2008, has resulted in the strengthening of the Department of Physics and Geology's foundation for providing effective education, outreach, research and service to and for the community. We as a Department, College, University and Community should begin to see the fruits born from these investments that have strengthened our overall educational foundation.

Since my first lesson with Alyssa Sutherland back in September, I am now hooked… and I think im getting better?
Bobbi's pole dancing studio - Sydney
Game on! Yesterday a team of colleagues and I from my office job entered into the JP Morgan Corporate Challenge which consisted of about 800 companies in Sydney running to support the Oncology Children's Foundation. The OCF is a not-for-profit children's charity dedicated to finding a cure for sick and critically ill children suffering from cancer, leukaemia and other serious cancer related illnesses. In Australia today more children die of oncology related conditions than any other disease.
The Race gathers an estimated 8,000 people and is located at Centennial Park which is roughly 6kilometres! It was a great afternoon for it and I couldn't think of a more worthy cause, if you would like to make a donation to the OCF click here. Alternatively you and your co-workers could enter next year… What better way to begin getting fit for summer!
Something that is great about Australia is the availability of natural products we can use. My favorite is the Tinderbox line. I love their cleanser and day time moisturizer. Jurlique (available in many other places in the world) has a great toner and their Calendula cream is a godsend. For makeup removal I simply use Sorbolene cream (cheap and great for the skin), Tea Tree oil for spots and blemishes, and a great sunscreen is an everyday MUST. Bio-oil is an incredible body moisturizer for those super dry skins and helps clear up any dis-colorations and scars too. Lolita Lempicka is my fragrance of choice and a new fav is the amazing Swedish company Byredo parfums who attach fantastic pieces of writing to each fragrance.
New Toy!
Today, I got a Ripstik, the new two-wheel skateboard that bends in the middle. I had my first practice today at Bronte and I'm not so bad! I'm so excited!!
Nikki Phillips and I are working together for the 30 Days of Fashion and Beauty and while we were having a good ol' chinwag the other night I was able to convince her to come to a pole dancing lesson with me! Here's a vid - Nikki totally rocked for her first EVER lesson!
I have recently been taking a transcendental meditation course here in NYC. This city can be really stressful and the fast pace and energy that is pulsing here can frequently overwhelm me. This meditation allows deep rest for the body, clears the mind, heals and lowers stress levels. Its super easy to learn and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to find peace in their daily lives!

Nice for a while...
"Comfortable shoe purchased for work in a professional environment, I wear them often. The problem is that out of the three pairs I have purchased, the heel of every single pair of these rubber soled shoes wears off and you are left with a hole in the heel. I don't do an excessive amount of walking or wear them outside of work, nor do I walk much outdoors with them on other than to and from the car. Very disappointed in the heel design of these shoes. They are nice while they last!"

The Crime Survey for England and Wales (formerly British Crime Survey) asks people aged 16 and over living in households in England and Wales about their experiences of crime in the last 12 months. These experiences are used to estimate levels of crime in England and Wales. Until recently the survey did not cover crimes against those aged under 16, but since January 2009 we have also interviewed children aged 10 to 15.
We also ask respondents to the survey about their attitudes to crime-related issues such as:
• the police;
• the criminal justice system;
• their perceptions of crime and anti-social behaviour.
The results of the survey play an important role in informing government policy.
The survey provides a better reflection of the extent of household and personal crime than police recorded statistics because the survey includes crimes that are not reported to, or recorded by, the police. The survey is also a better indicator of long-term trends because it is unaffected by changes in levels of reporting to the police or police recording practices.
However, the survey does not aim to provide an absolute count of crime and has notable exceptions, including homicides and incidents against those living in communal establishments or people who are homeless. The main survey count of crime also does not include fraud, sexual offences or drug use. However, these are covered in additional modules within the survey and are reported on separately.
For more technical reports regarding the survey please see the Home Office website
The survey is carried out by TNS-BMRB (an independent research organisation) on behalf of the Office for National Statistics. If you wish to know more about the survey from TNS-BMRB please ring the Crime Survey information line at TNS-BMRB on freephone 0800 051 0882.

Red Puckett: For a reporter, you sure have a strange way of doing your job.A character who lost their human parents and was raised by animals. Animals in fiction range from the almost human to the bestial, but since Most Writers Are Human, animals tend to think, feel and talk like we do. Thus a literal Mama Bear might be an ordinary parent — or a wildly offbeat role model. This trope ranges from a purely cosmetic touch of exoticism to a comedy trope to a full-blown otherness trope that drives drama. A sister trope to Raised by Natives — it functions as the same kind of narrative hook. A character raised by animals will seem unusual to ordinary folk. They may speak crudely or just strangely. They are a Funny Foreigner — but without the risk of offending someone. In more extreme cases they have No Social Skills, and it is common for them to be Not Good with People. Expect to see at least some discrimination. His adoptive siblings might get over him being funny-lookin', human society might get over them scratching their head with their foot, but he may ultimately be seen as a Half-Human Hybrid. It can be an extreme case of the longing for the Good Old Ways — a vision of the good life before any of the corrupting influences of civilization, the Noble Savage being In Harmony with Nature. They may be a Nature Hero or a Jungle Princess. Sometimes they pick up powers from their family. Lamarck Was Right: Mysterious Animal Senses abound and having birds for family teaches flight. Expect a character of this type to have a Name From Another Species as a result of being raised by animals. In their original setting expect to see Loin Cloths, pelts, Fur Bikinis and Wild Hair. The character sometimes Does Not Like Shoes. A quick route to Fanservice is having No Nudity Taboo. Even if things are not that bad, expect a tougher, rougher, childhood. But the Upbringing Makes the Hero, so these early trials pay off later. At a minimum, someone who was Raised by Wolves will be a bit wild; impulsive, aggressive or just more in touch with base human drives. Can be a case of Nurture Over Nature, if the character chooses the nurturing of the wild over the nature of humanity. For the most realistic take where lack of human contact makes kids feral and mute, see Wild Child. For social awkwardness in general, see No Social Skills.

Cancer.gov Update
Updated Tool More Accurately Estimates Breast Cancer Risk for Asian Americans
NCI researchers have updated a model for estimating breast cancer risk so that it is more accurate for Asian and Pacific Islander American (APA) women. The updated Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool (BCRAT) can now better estimate risk for American women who identify themselves as Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Hawaiian, other Pacific Islander, or other Asian. The model is described in a paper published online May 11 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
Dr. Mitchell H. Gail, of NCI's Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, and his colleagues used data from the Asian American Breast Cancer Study (AABCS), combined with data from NCI's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program, to update the model. The resulting algorithm was tested using data from approximately 4,000 APA women in the Women's Health Initiative, a study of health issues among postmenopausal women.
Intended for use by health professionals, the BCRAT calculates 5-year and lifetime estimates of a woman's risk of developing invasive breast cancer based on her medical history, reproductive history, and family history of the disease. In the updated model, the weight of individual factors and the calculations used to assess the interactions of multiple factors have been adjusted to more accurately predict the risk of breast cancer for APA women.
NCI Recovery Act Web Site Highlights Community-Based Cancer Care and Job Creation
The NCI Recovery Act Web site features a new article highlighting how Recovery Act funding is driving science-based cancer care and research in hospitals at the local level. Community cancer centers have an enormous impact on cancer care in the United States, so in 2007 NCI created the NCI Community Cancer Centers Program (NCCCP), a network of 16 community hospitals that deliver an enhanced level of care and support in local settings.
Recovery Act funding has enabled the expansion of the NCCCP network to 30 cancer centers in 22 states, creating nearly 300 new jobs in the process. This expansion is allowing NCCCP hospitals to focus additional resources on preventive care and on bringing the latest scientific advances directly to cancer patients where they live.

Joseph Loomis has seen it all, at least as far as mobile electronics is concerned, and he hasn't quite reached his 30th birthday yet. After a stint in the U.S. Navy where he got a serious education in both electronics and computer technologies (Navy Advanced Electronics), he's moved up right into the engineering side of consumer electronics with strategic positions at MA Audio and Rockford Fosgate. It was during his time at Rockford Corporation that he hooked up with Brian Sherman, MB Quart's brand marketing manager, and together they've hatched one sweet 2001 BMW E46 M3. A pre-production model virtually hand-built in January 2001 (regular M3 production ramped up in March 2001, according to Loomis), this M3 combines German craftsmanship with good old American high-tech know-how. It was one of the first cars to fully incorporate Rockford's revolutionary Omnifi music player in a system that uses a WiFi interface to get song files from Joe's PC into the car's hard drive-based server.
Loomis departed Rockford Fosgate in the Spring of 2004 to concentrate on his own venture, Net Enforcers Inc., an intellectual property and brand management company that has developed proprietary systems, logistics and software to monitor online activity concerning unauthorized use of trademarks, as well as to police retailers who try to circumvent manufacturer policies with regard to the sale of product over the Internet. This is a problem that plagues both manufacturers and retailers of some of the best known mobile electronics brands. Net Enforcers also helps manufacturers monitor the sale of their products online and works to shut down sites that are not authorized to sell certain products. The company is currently working with U.S. government agencies and large pharmaceutical corporations in the war against online pharmaceutical sales abuse and the activity surrounding counterfeit manufacturing.
I asked Loomis to outline the goals behind the design of this particular system, which started early in 2003 while he was still at MA Audio. "I didn't want anything ridiculous anymore," said Loomis over a tall brew at the Hooters by the Arizona State University campus in downtown Tempe, Ariz., where he now makes his home. "I was tired of the upkeep and hassle of highly detailed and fragile sound systems. I wanted a system that was high quality, but I didn't want to worry about not being able to use the car as it was intended. The easy part was replacing all the interior speakers with the MB Quart separates. All were drop-in replacements for the speakers that came factory installed, QSD216 components up front and a set of RCE216s in the rear. The subwoofers are from the MB Quart premium series, a pair of PWE254s on each side of the trunk compartment.
"As for the amplifiers, it was my plan from the start to mount them in the floor of the trunk since the M3 doesn't come with a spare tire anyway. I thought it made sense to just flush the amps into the floor, in this case a four-channel 250-watt MB Quart Q Series QAA4250 amplifier for the four high-pass sets of separates along with a QAA1000 1000-watt monoblock Q Series amplifier for of pair of subwoofers. This gave me almost the same amount of trunk space as before the install. The enclosures were custom molded into the sides of the truck, out of the way of anything that needed to be put in the trunk. It's elegant in its simplicity." The power source is a Ohio Generator high output BMW alternator. Loomis chose Ohio Generator because they're the leader in rebuilding stock alternators to produce the necessary power for high current systems. The install was completed in early May at Sound Xpression in Phoenix, Ariz. While they did the bulk of the installation, especially amp racks and the very cool subwoofer enclosures, Loomis was responsible for the interior speaker upgrades and interfacing the Omnifi unit into the factory BMW radio's CD changer input. The controller for the Omnifi unit is logically mounted in the center stack below the factory radio. It is accessed by selecting the CD changer input on the factory radio.
While the system is stealth in the extreme, even beyond the Omnifi system it bristles with high tech, especially where the all new MB Quart amplifiers are concerned. "The amplifier board assemblies are arranged one above the other," Loomis related, downing his second tall brew as we watch the Hooters girls pass by. "Their power supply is insulated from the end stage. The analog operating elements are installed at the top and combined with a digital display. All connections are located on the left side of the amplifier. And finally, a unique bypass mode ensures maximum amplifier performance and high loading. A proprietary circuit simplifies the signal path of the amplifier, allowing the signal to travel through the amplifier at a low voltage. This results in greater reliability, cleaner performance and exceptional musicality with the speed, durability and power of MOSFETs."
It probably also contributes to the relatively massive size of the amplifiers with regard to their rated output. When the amplifiers were formally introduced at CES this past January, almost everyone, yours truly included, commented to MB Quart on their size. When I visited Germany in the Spring and attended the Sinsheim Car + Sound Show, I was shocked at the buzz surrounding them in Europe. It seemed everyone at the show was talking about them (and the Alfa Romeo sport coupe that shared booth space with the Rockford Fosgate model decked out in nothing more than body paint).
Unlike so many demo cars, this one is no trailer queen, nor is it all show and no go. "The car gets constantly upgraded with performance parts to make it faster," said Loomis, who is currently known as "Jajja" on the BMW forums. "So far, my fastest quarter-mile time is a 13.06. With someone who knows what they're doing--no regard to clutch life--right around 12.30 is what it should do, maybe even faster."
The car benefits from the following upgrades courtesy of Evosport in Huntington Beach, Calif. Performance started with an AFE cold-air intake and custom Powerchip/Evosport performance software. Bosch Iridium spark plugs burn the mixture with a hotter, more consistent spark. Evosport also outfitted the M with its own underdrive pulleys to produce more horsepower while increasing alternator output current for the sound system demands. The exhaust was upgraded from the manifold to the tip of the tail pipe. Supersprint supplied top-of-the-line high performance headers, race catalytic converters, a mid pipe and race exhaust. This increased output by a claimed 27 hp and 35 lb-ft of torque. Because of the power increases, the OEM drivetrain was upgraded with a UUC stage two lightweight flywheel and a high performance clutch installed by Rob Rohn's Vivid Racing, Inc., in Chandler, Ariz. Evosport's Brad Otoupalik also recommended upgrading the OEM brakes to European two-piece, floating cross-drilled rotors, along with some Hawk HPS "low dust" brake pads.
Otoupalik installed a special H&R/Evo RSS Street coilover suspension accompanied by the Ground Control rear shock mounting kit. This is a special suspension that was built to Evosport's specs through a partnership with H&R Special Springs. The stock sway bars were tossed in the dumpster and replaced by a set of H&R high performance front and rear sway bars. Rolling stock finishes the upgrade with a beautiful set of HRE 546R gunmetal wheels (8.5x19 up front, 10x19 in the rear) wrapped in a full set of Toyo Tire's Proxes T1R ultra-high-performance radial tires mounted and balanced by Arizona's premier high end wheel and tire dealer, Wheel Specialists.
To stiffen the chassis, a Strong-Strut front brace was installed. Improved illumination was effected by an Umnitza Angel Eyes headlamp kit. Custom molded Hamann foglamp inserts and eyelids dress the front end up further. On the inside, AC Schnitzer's complete interior upgrades include new pedals, a gearshift knob, E-brake handle and seat belt pads. Shifting was made more accurate and smooth via the UUC EVO3 shift kit and double-shear selector rod. The interior was also upgraded with a "silver titanium" carbon-fiber interior trim kit provided by Evosport.Special thanks must go to John Wallace at HRE Wheels, Rob Lenvinson at UUC, Stan Chen at Toyo Tire, Gus and Tom at Ohio Generator, and Brad Otoupalik at Evosport for all their support and time.

erlangA unit of measurement of traffic density in a telecommunications system. The erlang describes the total traffic volume of one hour, or 3600 seconds.
For example, 60 calls in one hour, each lasting 5 minutes, results in the following number of erlangs:
minutes of traffic in the hour = number of calls x duration
minutes of traffic in the hour = 60 x 5
minutes if traffic in the hour = 300
hours of traffic in the hour = 300/60
hours of traffic in the hour = 5
traffic figure = 5 erlangs
Network designers use the erlang to understand traffic patterns within a voice network and use the figures to determine how many lines are required between a telephone system and a central office or between network locations.
Erlang calculations are further broken down as follows:
- Erlang B -- the most commonly used traffic model. Erlang B is used to work out how many lines are required if the traffic figure during the busiest hour is known. This model assumes that all blocked calls are cleared immediately.
- Extended Erlang B -- similar to Erlang B, this model can be used to factor in the number of calls that are blocked and immediately tried again.
- Erlang C -- this model assumes that all blocked calls are queued in the system until they can be handled. Call centers can use this calculation to determine how many call agents to staff, based on the number of calls per hour, the average duration of class and the amount of time calls are left in the queue.

42 U.S. Code § 7384r - Separate treatment of chronic silicosis
(a) Sense of Congress
Congress finds that employees who worked in Department of Energy test sites and later contracted chronic silicosis should also be considered for inclusion in the compensation program. Recognizing that chronic silicosis resulting from exposure to silica is not a condition unique to the nuclear weapons industry, it is not the intent of Congress with this subchapter to establish a precedent on the question of chronic silicosis as a compensable occupational disease. Consequently, it is the sense of Congress that a further determination by the President is appropriate before these workers are included in the compensation program.
(b) Certification by President
A covered employee with chronic silicosis shall be treated as a covered employee (as defined in section 7384l (1) of this title) for the purposes of the compensation program required by section 7384d of this title unless the President submits to Congress not later than 180 days after October 30, 2000, the certification of the President that there is insufficient basis to include such employees. The President shall submit with the certification any recommendations about the compensation program with respect to covered employees with chronic silicosis as the President considers appropriate.
(c) Exposure to silica in the performance of duty
A covered employee shall, in the absence of substantial evidence to the contrary, be determined to have been exposed to silica in the performance of duty for the purposes of the compensation program if, and only if, the employee was present for a number of work days aggregating at least 250 work days during the mining of tunnels at a Department of Energy facility located in Nevada or Alaska for tests or experiments related to an atomic weapon.
(d) Covered employee with chronic silicosis
For purposes of this subchapter, the term "covered employee with chronic silicosis" means a Department of Energy employee, or a Department of Energy contractor employee, with chronic silicosis who was exposed to silica in the performance of duty as determined under subsection (c) of this section.
(e) Chronic silicosis
For purposes of this subchapter, the term "chronic silicosis" means a nonmalignant lung disease if—
(1) the initial occupational exposure to silica dust preceded the onset of silicosis by at least 10 years; and
(2) a written diagnosis of silicosis is made by a medical doctor and is accompanied by—
(A) a chest radiograph, interpreted by an individual certified by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health as a B reader, classifying the existence of pneumoconioses of category 1/0 or higher;
(B) results from a computer assisted tomograph or other imaging technique that are consistent with silicosis; or
Source(Pub. L. 106–398, § 1 [div. C, title XXXVI, § 3627], Oct. 30, 2000, 114 Stat. 1654, 1654A–505; Pub. L. 107–107, div. C, title XXXI, § 3151(a)(3),Dec. 28, 2001, 115 Stat. 1372.)
2001—Subsec. (e)(2)(A). Pub. L. 107–107substituted "category 1/0" for "category 1/1".

Girls advance to tri-district
Published on Wed, Feb 13, 2013 by
Ian Ferguson
Read More
After losing 34-32 to King's High School February 6, the girls basketball team knew it was do or die: one loss in the 1A district tournament meant the team couldn't lose another game in the 1A district tournament and still advance to tri-district. The girls were up to the task. They handled South Whidbey 48-32, and then redeemed a loss to Nooksack Valley earlier in the season by defeating the Pioneers 51-40.
At home against South Whidbey February 8, sophomore Taylor V'Dovec tallied her fourth double-double of the season, with 13 points and 13 rebounds.
Sophomore point guard Breanna Chau took control of the game, racking up 15 points and four steals. By halftime, the score
was 27-10 with Blaine in the lead. By game's end, Blaine had out-rebounded the Falcons 39-20, and stolen the ball 18 times to South Whidbey's 10. The final score was 48-32.
Against Nooksack Valley the next day, Mandy Hayes came out strong for the Borderites, sinking a three-pointer off an assist by Alexis McElwain in the first play of the game. Hayes went on to score 13 points in the first quarter, and a game high 17 points by the final buzzer.
Defensively, Blaine outmaneuvered the Pioneers on the court, with 10 steals to Nooksack Valley's three, but were barely beaten on the boards with 30 rebounds to Nooksack Valley's 34. Most of Blaine's steals were converted into points, as the starting five put forth a well-rounded scoring effort.
V'Dovec scored 13 points, Chau scored eight, Olivia Olason scored seven and Alexis McElwain scored four.
Nooksack Valley chipped away at the Blaine lead in the second half, coming to within three points (32–29) early in the fourth quarter, but Blaine showed their tenacity and came away with the win, for a final score of 51–40.
The win against Nooksack Valley sends the Borderites to the tri-district tournament as the eighth overall seed.
They will face either Port Townsend or Overlake in Mountlake Terrace at 4:30 p.m. Friday, February 15.

Stuttgart/Leipzig. Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, based in Stuttgart, Germany, honored Magna Powertrain Germany GmbH, Roitzsch, yesterday in Leipzig as its "Supplier of the Year" for. The company has worked together with the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer since 2002 and is particularly convincing with its performance in the development and manufacture of powertrain systems and components. Thus,
Magna Powertrain supplies the transfer case for the sporting off-road vehicle Cayenne.
Together with Magna Powertrain, the Porsche Board members
Holger P. Härter (Finance and Controlling) and Michael Macht (Production und Logistics) recognized nine additional Porsche suppliers for their outstanding performance in fiscal year 2005/06: Thyssen-Krupp Automotive Systems GmbH (Bochum), Lear Corporation GmbH (Böblingen), Conti-Tech Kühner GmbH & Cie. KG (Oppenweiler), HS Genion GmbH (Krailling), SUSPA Holding GmbH (Altdorf), Arvin-Meritor Emissions Technologies GmbH (Augsburg), REGE Motorenteile GmbH & Co. KG (Hörselberg/Eisenach), APL Automobil-Prüftechnik Landau GmbH (Landau) and Kühne & Nagel (AG & Co. KG), Frankfurt/Main.
Porsche AG President and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Wendelin Wiedeking, emphasized to the 330 guests in the Customer Center in its Leipzig plant just how important top quality cooperation between Porsche and its suppliers is: "We can only be successful in defending our leading position if we build vehicles that are better than those of our competitors. That means that every part is important, no matter how small it is."
Wiedeking pointed out the reliability of suppliers as being a key success factor: "Our customers expect premium vehicles and have zero tolerance for defects. That is why Porsche only considers those who are prepared to deliver top performance as being worthy of consideration as a supplier. We recognize excellent partners each year with the Porsche Supplier Award – as the standard for all the rest." The challenges will be even greater in the future, commented the Porsche CEO. A further chapter will be added to the Porsche success story with the
Gran Turismo Panamera. For this model series, which will be introduced to the market in 2009, the sports car manufacturer will also require the full performance capabilities of its suppliers.
