BELLAIRE - When it got down to finding a replacement for Don Zinni, who retired as the Ohio Valley Athletic Conference Football Commissioner last month, the conference's executive board didn't have to look very far.
OVAC Executive Secretary Tom Rataiczak has announced that Dave Clutter, who's been Zinni's assistant for more than a year, has been formally approved by the board and will take over the role of commissioner effective immediately.
"The OVAC is very pleased with the promotion and appointment of Dave to the football commissioner's position," Rataiczak said. "We brought Dave on as Don's assistant so he could see his grandson play and were extremely pleased with his efforts during the past year. When Don announced his retirement, it was a unanimous decision of the board to elevate Clutter."
Clutter is excited to get started on his new role as the chief assigner for OVAC football officials. However, he also plans on leaning on Zinni for advice and pointers as he settles into the position.
"It's a win-win situation for me," Clutter said. "Don has agreed to stay on in an advisory role as long as the OVAC will have him, and from my standpoint, he's more than welcome. He did this job for 17 years and you don't pick up everything in 18 months, so I plan on relying on him heavily."
Rataiczak also spoke highly of Zinni's work during his tenure.
"Losing a man the caliber of Don Zinni is always regretted. But knowing Don, he'll be around for years to come in other capacities with the conference," Rataiczak said. "The OVAC wishes him the best in his retirement, but we also plan to have him help in an advisory capacity and in observing and evaluating crews.
"Don held this position longer than any other football commissioner and has done an outstanding job in organizing not only the officials, but in expanding the boards and assisting member schools with football-related problems, especially in scheduling."
Clutter, a 1967 Wheeling High School graduate and 1971 graduate of West Liberty State College, officiated football in both Ohio and West Virginia for 38 years. His expertise landed him five Super Six assignments and one Ohio State Championship Game during his career.Clutter has some ideas he'd like to work on for the football officials groups, but realizes that they might not happen overnight.
"My biggest objective is to improve the overall officiating in the OVAC," Clutter said. "I also want to mold the various boards that we use into a more cohesive unit, so people can identify with the officials regardless if they're from Morgantown, Parkersburg or even Columbus. We want people to realize that these are OVAC officials because I think there's a perception out there that some guys aren't true OVAC officials."
Work is already well under way for Clutter as schools are sending in their 2013 football schedules.
"This is definitely a 12-month job," Clutter said. "The (officiating) crews have until Dec. 15 to submit their 2013 application to the conference. Then the ratings forms from the coaches are due and then the actual scheduling begins."
The schools are required to have their schedules - completed or not - to the OVAC by Feb. 1. Clutter will have the officials assignments to them by late April and then onto the schools' athletic directors to begin the contracts.
"Dave's personality and professionalism allow the conference to showcase our officials the way they should be," Rataiczak said. "With the foundation built by Don, we look for Dave to further develop our crews to be the best to be found in either state. We are looking forward to new leadership and ideas that he will bring to the table and have total confidence in his ability to execute them. This looks to be a very smooth transition."

All Asbestos Risk the Same?
OncoLink Team
The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: May 7, 2013
Do all types of asbestos have the same risks?
AnswerDan Sterman, MD, Interventional Pulmonologist at Penn Medicine, responds:
All forms of asbestos are capable of causing mesothelioma, and no form of asbestos should be considered "safe." There are, however, different degrees of the asbestos fibers being able to cause cancer. In comparison with serpentine (chrysolite) crystals, rod-like amphiboles crystal, such as crocidolite, place people at higher risks. Due to the shape of these fibers, they more easily get lodged in the respiratory tract and resist clearance, which can ultimately lead to mesothelioma development.

The Chelsea defender is awaiting news on a calf injury but is expected to be ruled out for the friendly match at Wembley on Wednesday eveningBrazil and Chelsea defender David Luiz is a doubt for the friendly against England thanks to the calf injury that has sidelined him for the previous three fixtures.
The 25-year-old defender last featured as a substitute in the Blues' 0-0 draw at Swansea, but ended the game limping and hasn't appeared for Benitez's side since.
The Selecao will face Roy Hodgson's men on Wednesday at Wembley, however the former Benfica defender is awaiting confirmation on the extent of his injury and could miss out on lining up alongside club teammates Oscar and Ramires against the Three Lions.
Luiz told Globoesporte: "I didn't play for three matches because my calf still hurts. Today I'm going through some exams with [Brazil's physician Jose] Runco, he asked me. I'm training at 100% already and I hope to play for Selecao."

Once is not enough
One of the norms for Vatican II's reform of the liturgy was that "the rites should be distinguished by a noble simplicity; they should be clear in their brevity and should avoid useless repetitions" (SC 34). The Roman liturgy was often described as more "sober" than the liturgies of other rites, and perhaps this entered into the mindset of those who drafted this norm. But I wonder whether the norm was appropriate given all that was said about adaptations to meet other cultures, some of which, after all, don't mind and even expect long rituals. And when are repetitions "useless"? And who decides that they're useless? Could there be some cultural bias behind this norm?Here's a comment of Augustine:
For the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping; the Lord has heard my supplication; the Lord has received my prayer (Ps 6:9-10). The repetition of the same sentence isnt really necessary, but it shows the emotion of the exultant Psalmist. Thats how joyful people usually speak; expressing their joy once is not enough. This is the fruit of his groaning toil, of the tears that washed his bed and watered his couch (see Ps 6:7). For those who sow in tears reap in joy (Ps 125: 5), and blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted (Mt 5:5). (Augustine, EnPs 6, 11; PL 36, 95-96).

Isn't the Rule of Three supposed be a very effective rhetorical device?
The repetition and parallelism of the psalms are part of the charm of Hebrew poetry. Their poetic force carries over into translation into English, and where they are quoted in the Liturgy who could wish them away? The kind of mindless, pompous reiteration endorsed by Vox Clara and so cleverly mocked in the "Commonweal Christmas Cookie " recipe is another matter altogether.
In the first ICEL version, two of the "mea culpas" were dropped as was one of the three petitions in the Gloria. The Novus Ordo itself reduced the threefold Domine, non sum dignus to a single one. But the threefold Sanctus and Agnus Dei
Repetition seems to be almost intrinsic to the psalms, but English poetry tends toward compact expression. Aeneas was perpetually and constantly pious, and that helped the meter, but if a poet of our own national myth were to insist that Washington was upright every time he mentioned the name, the poet would remain unpublished.More than "adoption to meet (an)other culture" is involved in translation. There is that, but there is also the structure of the language itself that must be respected. Latin sounds great in Gregorian chant because it abounds in endings, but when one tries to sing any kind of English-- with its plethora of one-syllable words and words ending in "nd" or "nt" -- with the same notes, the result is creepy when it isn't laughable.Which is not to say the 50-minute Mass to accommodate the parking lot should be normative by anyone's standards.
SC 34 was recently discussed here: http://www.praytellblog.com/index.php/2013/02/28/re-reading-sacrosanctum... .SC 34 was recently discussed here: http://www.praytellblog.com/index.php/2013/02/28/re-reading-sacrosanctum... .SC 34 was recently discussed here: http://www.praytellblog.com/index.php/2013/02/28/re-reading-sacrosanctum... .
Who should say what is mere repetition and what is art? Why, the POETS of course!!! In the Renaissance the popes at least had the sense to call in the best artists of the day to invent their religious art. So why didn't theCuria and ICEL, etc., call in the best of the religious poets to critique, or even do, the new translations of the Mass? Why wasn't Levterov, Richard Wilbur, Seamus Heaney, Updike, etc., asked for their opinions? A translator doesn't have to be a practicing Catholic or a Catholic at all to identify bad rhythms and other linguistic and imaginative patters. Sorry to say it, but the liturgists as well as the Curia have shown a certain pride in not getting the opinions of the very best experts in revisions of the lituries. And how do you tell who are the best of the artists? History shows, I think, that the best artists are those who are most appreciated in their own time tend to be those who are appreciated for a very long time in the future. And even those who lose popularity are rarely if ever found to be totally without merit by succeeding generations.
Oops -- that should have been "Why didn't the Curia and Icel call in the best of the poets?" Even agnostic and atheist poets could have helped because they do can recognize a bad pattern when they find one. But there are some religious poets, and some are Roman Catholic. Why weren't they asked to help???
The ear tends to be lazy, craves the familiar and is shocked by the unexpected; the eye, on the other hand, tends to be impatient, craves the novel and is bored by repetition. W. H. Auden
I belong to the Syro Malabar Rite, which is an Eastern Rite confined for the most part to the state of Kerala, in South India. But as I was outside the state for a long time I grew up more familiar with the Roman Rite. It is only in the last 10 years or so, after settling down in my home state that I have frequented the Syro Malabar Mass more often. Compared to the Roman liturgy, it has a many more prayers, mostly praise and thanksgiving and I have really grown to like that Mass. [The srvice is longer though, and since the nearest church is a Latin one we end up going there most of the time :-)]
Yesterday while the presiding priest washed the right foot of 12 persons, repeating the same gestures 12 times, which took, maybe, 5 minutes, we sang the Taize refrain, "Ubi caritas et amor, deus ibi est" over and over again. I don't know how many times we repeated it, but it was clearly too many for me. Maybe not for others, though: the kind of people who do not tire of reciting the rosary might also not tire of singing that single even more repetitive refrain. As for myself, after the first ten of fifteen iterations, I would have been happy to watch the rest of the ritual in silence.
"Ubi caritas et amor, deus ibi est We chanted that when walking between some of the stations at the Way of the Cross yesterday. We also chanted"Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom" and "Wait for the Lord whose Day is near, wait for the Lord, be strong, take heart". I thought the repetition worked. I'm usually put off by chanting, but it seems like we should have been saying some kind of prayer when going between stations, and these were short enough I could remember them.
"...they should be clear in their brevity and should avoid useless repetitions (SC 34). Strange how the consilium added some repetitions to the rite while reducing or eliminating others. The added Responsorial psalm and bidding prayers are repetitious but they reduced the Kyrie and the refrain from the centurian while keeping the Sanctus as mentioned above. I'm sure this makes sense to someone.
Might I politely request that the word strange be banned from the vernacular?

Ethics and values are indispensable within the workforce, so state the world's top CEOs. Now the public gets an opportunity to witness how the Leeds School of Business at the University of Colorado Boulder is elevating social responsibility in educating the next generation of business leaders.
The Center for Education on Social Responsibility presents the inaugural CESR Stampede: A Week of Driving Values in Business April 15-19. Through awareness, discussion and debate, the CESR Stampede provides a forum for students and professionals to explore the impact of positive values in business settings. Many activities are free and open to the public.
Highlights include a presentation by Cynthia Cooper, CEO of The CooperGroup. As former chief audit executive at WorldCom, Cooper and her team unraveled one of the largest corporate frauds in history. Her presentation, which is free and open to the public, takes place at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 18, inside CU's Muenzinger Auditorium. A live video stream of the talk will also be available in the Hale Science Building.
The CESR Stampede also includes the 4th annual Conscious Capitalism Conference. Scheduled for Wednesday, April 17, the conference features a lineup of influential business leaders to discuss how the tools of capitalism can be used to serve social needs. The Conscious Capitalism Conference fee of $50 includes lunch and parking. The conference is CESR's annual flagship event.
In addition, the public may see coursework in action by attending any of the 18 CESR classes in session April l5-16. Panel discussions on social entrepreneurship, the organics food industry and climate change, a careers workshop and panel, case competitions and a project showcase round out CESR Stampede's weeklong schedule of events.
"Dedicated to developing socially conscious, values-driven leaders of tomorrow, CESR and the Leeds School of Business are perfect hosts for the week of events," says Donna Sockell, CESR director. "Leeds is recognized as one of the only public business schools in the country with a substantial infusion of values and social responsibility throughout all years of the business program."
Studies show the growing influence of social responsibility in today's business climate. In a recent survey conducted by IBM Corp. of more than 1,700 CEOs and senior public sector leaders from around the globe, 65 percent of executives single out the importance of ethics and values, more than any other organizational attributes.

5 Movie Plots That Rely On People Sucking at Important Jobs
Action movies are usually populated by busty damsels in distress, hard-jawed men who will do anything to get their families back, and ingenious, possibly British-accented villains whose intellect is rivaled only by their sadism. At their best, these movies are about extraordinary situations that require extraordinary men. But sometimes we can't help but notice that the entire plot kicked into gear only because the authority figures in these universes sucked at their jobs to an absurd degree. Consider ...
#5. The Dark Knight -- Nobody Objects to a Bus Crashing Out of a Bank
Warner Bros. Pictures
The Dark Knight begins with an elaborate bank robbery planned by the Joker. He accounts for every meticulous detail, and even tricks his fellow criminals into killing each other off, leaving him alone with the take. By the time the police arrive, he's driving away in a school bus, whose exit he times perfectly so that it blends in with a line of other identical buses driving their route. He escapes by hiding in plain sight, and nobody is the wiser. Except, you know, for the dozens of people who watch him slam a school bus into and then right back out of the bank.
Warner Bros. Pictures
"Must be one of those bank/bus parking lot combo joints I keep hearing about."
See, he doesn't just pull up around back and park -- he drives right through the goddamn wall. So that means the other bus drivers (and everyone else on the street: all those pedestrians and cars you see above), watch a school bus crash through a building, then pull out and flee the scene of what is clearly a robbery ... and then they all just shrug and move on with their lives.
Maybe the other drivers are members of his team? Nope -- you can clearly hear the voices of kids in the other buses, so either the other drivers aren't with him, or this is the most hardcore school district around.
Warner Bros. Pictures
It's a town where kids tend to grow up tough.
The Joker should have easily been caught at this point. The bus driver behind or ahead of him probably would have called 911 after seeing a bus go through a building. Some of the pedestrians would have called too, or just ran up to the incoming police and told them their guy was getting away. Hell, even if we accept that everyone on the street is totally oblivious, you'd think the many witnesses left inside the bank would have something to say about how the Joker made his getaway.
Warner Bros. Pictures
"Why ... so ... obviousssSSS?"
There's a reason the scene ends as the Joker drives off: Because if it kept going, you'd see the police immediately turn around and catch him. Even the incompetent Gotham City police wouldn't have any trouble boxing in a slow, unwieldy school bus, especially since it looks like the roads are busy. And it's not like he was blending in with the other buses, because his was the only one with no kids, plenty of dents, and trailing a comically huge amount of bank-dust.
#4. Kick-Ass -- The Police Forget That Computers Are a Thing
In Kick-Ass, an average high school student gets bored of his mundane life and decides to become a vigilante superhero. He dresses up in a green spandex suit, grabs a couple batons, runs around town, and promptly gets his ass kicked by pretty much every thug he meets. Finally, a realistic superhero movie! Despite his general ineptitude, Kick-Ass becomes a YouTube celebrity, although that's not saying much considering videos of deer farting account for millions of YouTube views.
We're not gonna promise you something like that and fail to deliver.
Then some competent vigilantes, Big Daddy and Hit-Girl, kill crime-lord Frank D'Amico's henchmen. Somehow under the impression that an inept teenager is responsible for undermining his drug empire, D'Amico orders Kick-Ass killed. When this leads to a Kick-Ass impersonator getting knocked off, the police decide that hey, maybe they should do something about this whole vigilante violence campaign thing. They appeal to the public for help in identifying Kick-Ass, but come up empty.
Their first mistake was assuming that anyone who had ever seen the Internet would also be a newspaper buyer.
That's understandable -- it would be hard to identify a dude in a mask based only on shaky cell phone camera footage. If only there was something else for the authorities to go on, like the incredibly popular, frequently updated MySpace page that he sets up so people can ask him for help. Because that's totally a thing he did.
The police catch criminals using social media all the time. With the cooperation of MySpace and Kick-Ass' ISP, it would be easy to track him down -- that's why Superman doesn't keep a Facebook page. The only possible explanation is that Kick-Ass is using some fancy computer wizardry to protect himself, but Big Daddy manages to trace him to his house almost instantly, and that dude looks like a short-bus Batman.
Albeit a hell of a lot more reasonably equipped.
Then again, maybe the police, like everybody else, just forgot MySpace was still a thing in 2010.
#3. Goldfinger -- The U.S. Army Fools Goldfinger, Then Lets Him Execute His Plan Anyway
United Artists
The plot of Goldfinger revolves around megalomaniacal industrialist/groin-laser enthusiast Auric Goldfinger's plan to attack Fort Knox with nerve gas, then use a dirty bomb to make its gold reserves useless. Thankfully, James Bond is able to sex Goldfinger's henchwoman Pussy Galore (the Bond series was never about subtlety) into betraying her boss. The pair team up with the U.S. Army and enact a plan wherein Galore sprays a harmless chemical over Fort Knox instead of nerve gas, and all the soldiers just pretend they got hit like a grown-up flashmob game of cops and robbers.
It works perfectly -- they lure out Goldfinger's bomb, his goons, and the man himself. The soldiers wait patiently, feigning incapacitation, as the bad guys enter the base, enter the vault, and prepare their bomb. Only then does the Army -- represented by, like, eight dudes -- spring into action to stop him. They are, however, thwarted by Goldfinger's ingenious tactic of closing the door.
United Artists
"Door" might be underselling it a bit.
So hey, here's an idea: Maybe the Army could have had, like, all the guys waiting for Goldfinger in the vault. Did they forget that they didn't actually get gassed? If you watch the clip above you see at least a couple hundred soldiers in on the operation, and there are presumably many more on base. They could have ambushed and overwhelmed Goldfinger at any point. Why wait until the last possible moment? Was it an entire platoon of method actors?
And while we're at it, the Army probably should have told their soldiers what Goldfinger -- and remember, the entire reason this operation exists is to apprehend him -- looks like, seeing as he manages to escape their clutches by donning an Army uniform and pointing them in the wrong direction, a move taken right out of The Snidely Whiplash Manual for Supervillainy. Keep in mind that Goldfinger isn't your standard shadowy Bond antagonist; he's a well-known public figure. Even if they couldn't get a picture of him down to Fort Knox in time to brief the soldiers, all they had to do was tell the men to be on the lookout for an obese balding man with a thick German accent, which isn't typically what you consider to be U.S. Army material.

There's a famous story about an exercise from Lang's Algebra that says something along the lines of "pick up a homological algebra book and prove all of the theorems yourself". I cannot find it in the third revised edition, and I'm wondering if it's still in the third revised edition, if it's only in the older editions, or if it's an urban legend.
It's real, but only in the first and second editions.
The full quote in the second edition is:
If I'm not mistaken, the quote is the same in the first edition. First edition: page 105; Second edition: page 175; so you can look in your library to see if I messed up the quote!
And I do have an electronic copy of the third edition, which I've searched to confirm it is not there. The historical remarks were expanded, written less dismissively and put at the intro to Part Four.
In the Russian 1968 translation of Lang's Algebra (which is done from the Addison-Wesley 1965 edition), this exercise is there on page 126, exactly as quoted in Jonas' answer. It is complemented by two footnotes by the editor of the tranlation.
The footnotes say: "1) We suggest to skip these exercises on the first reading." and "2) It should be pointed out that the term `abstract nonsense' in this book has a positive character and is used below in the serious sense."
It is not an urban legend at all. It's certainly in the second edition, which is the one I studied from when I was a grad student. However it seems to be missing from the Springer 2002 edition. Certainly a loss, in my opinion.
I got to this list since I was trying to remember whether the quote from Lang was true or not. Indeed, my copy, first edition I guess, does have that quote on p. 105. I don't know exactly how "positive"(ly) the term "abstract nonsense" is meant in that quote, though. I would imagine that Lang would have been annoyed had someone suggested they do that with any of his books.
Re: Spanier. Yes, the book is terse, and hard to read. I sincerely doubt that the intent was primarily to make a teaching text for beginning grad students; this was, and is, the standard reference book for basic algebraic topology. What makes it hard to read is the fact that every statement is made is as great a generality as he could. This is an advantage for a reference text. I sincerely doubt, however, that there was anything in that book that Spanier could not prove completely.
That being said, I certainly struggled through a course using it. I chose to take algebraic topology from someone else, to avoid taking it from Spanier himself, since I thought he would teach it as generally as was in the book. It turns out, though, that he did back down from that level of abstraction when teaching the course, and perhaps I missed something not taking the course from him.

Am I the only one with such a problem?

So I made myself a sniper type with light armor and a silenced sniper rifle. However, enemies can spot me from far far away, making it difficult to kill without being seen. How can I make myself stealthier to avoid being spotted so easily?
The problem is that you are behaving in the "standard" stealth way, where you assume that enemies cannot see you if you are fairly far away, in a dark spot. This is how it works in games like Crysis, Deus Ex, or Thief. This is not how EYE stealth works. In EYE, AI perception is based almost entirely on the direction enemies are facing. The AI can see quite a long ways and light is much less important than in other games. While this is more realistic, it is not explained to the player, which leads the player to feel the system is arbitrary or broken. Rather, it is just so abnormal that it demands explanation, which is not provided.
What all this means is that you need to focus almost entirely on a few things for stealth:
Eve has some interesting mechanics, like this stealth system, but it seriously lacks any explanation of that. This lack of explanation is a major running annoyance through the game, the "tutorial" is insufficient.

The Part-Time Student Support Award (Beatrice and Raymond Liebesman Completion Scholarship Fund)
- Award Overview
- Part-Time Award Criteria
- Guidelines for Scholarship Award – FAQs
- Apply for Funding

- Additional Information
Program Overview
More than 25% of Hunter students attend Hunter College on a part-time basis. Many part-time students share a common challenge — maintaining a successful balance between college studies, family obligations and work schedules. Most part-time Hunter students are unable to attend college full-time due to work, family commitments and/or limited financial resources. Despite the challenges noted above, a large number of part-time Hunter students maintain strong academic records while responding to a myriad of personal responsibilities. In order to address the needs of part-time students, and acknowledge both their accomplishments and challenges, Hunter has established the Beatrice and Raymond Liebesman Completion Fund, also known as the Part-Time Student Support Award.
The Part-Time Student Support Award's (Beatrice and Raymond Liebesman Completion Scholarship Fund) primary goal is to provide financial, academic, and personal support services to individuals experiencing the situation described above and who meet the following criteria below.
Part-Time Student Support Award Criteria
- Current part-time students (11 ½ credits or less), who have also attended on a part-time basis during the prior semester/s.
- Willingness to register for an additional class needed for degree completion if financial support is awarded
- Matriculated status; includes BA/MA students
- Completed at least 60 credits toward first undergraduate degree. Second undergraduate degrees and graduate degrees are ineligible.
- Declared major
- Cumulative Hunter College GPA of 3.0 or greater
- Fully-completed electronic (online) FAFSA and demonstrated need, as defined by Financial Aid/Scholarships
- U.S. citizens or documented international students*
- New York State residency. Applies to students who would take more than 11.5 credits per semester; program will pay up to NY State rate for eligible additional classes.
- Demonstrated other signs of academic success
NOTE: *Undocumented students and international students who are unable to fully complete, a current electronic (online) FAFSA are ineligible.
For the purposes of this program, part-time enrollment is defined as taking fewer than 11.5 credits.
Guidelines for Scholarship Award – FAQs
Program Interview:
|I have met all of the requirements for eligibility, is there anything else that I must do to be considered for a Part-Time award?
|After eligible applicants are contacted by the Program Coordinator, the applicant must schedule a one-on-one meeting with Coordinator to answer basic questions and help ensure that applicant understands the Program structure and expectations.
|I have met all of the requirements for eligibility, what type of award will I receive?
|An award candidate may take up to 3 additional credits beyond their current semester (or previous) level of enrollment at no additional cost of tuition.
|Will the Part-Time award pay for all of my classes next semester, including the additional courses I plan to take?
|Award recipients will continue to be responsible for the level of tuition that they paid prior to receiving the award. For example, an award recipient who took six (6) credits in Fall 2015 and plans to take nine (9) credits in Spring 2016 would be responsible for the tuition cost of six (6) credits (or two courses) and the award would cover tuition for three (3) credits (or one course).
Award Restrictions:
|Is there a limit to the number of additional courses that I can take with the Part-Time award?
|Yes, the award will pay for a maximum of one (1) course during either the Fall or Spring semester.
|How many semesters will I be able to receive a Part-Time award?
|As of Fall 2013, eligibility will terminate after one award semester.
|What happens if I drop/withdraw from a course while receiving a Part-Time Award?
|Recipients who drop/withdraw from a course after the deadline for the 100% tuition refund are responsible for repaying the College all tuition charges related to the award course/credits.
Courses and Exclusions:
|Am I able to take any course that I want? And, are there any courses which would be excluded?
|An award recipient can take any required course that counts towards the completion of his/her degree. However, students can only take a maximum of four (4) CR/NC courses while receiving the award.
Award Availability:
|If I have all of the requirements for eligibility, will I definitely receive a Part-Time award?
|All awards are subject to available funding and final decisions are at the discretion of the Program Coordinator. Awards for the Summer and Winter sessions/semesters will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
Apply for Funding
You must have a current, electronic (online) Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on file for this academic year. If you do not have this on file, please complete one immediately — you may do so at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
The Part-Time Student Support Award's primary goal remains to provide financial, academic support services and personal support to individuals currently taking 11.5 or less credits who would like to increase the number of courses they take and/or to become a full-time student.
To begin the process of applying for a Part-Time Student Support Award scholarship, complete the online Part-time Scholarship Application. Once your answers are submitted, you will be contacted by the Program Coordinator.

I heard the other day that using brass in your brewery set-up is a bad idea?! well I have brass ball valves from the hardware store on all my kettles? I know that typical brass has lead in it but is this type of brass the same, and dangerous, if so how?
This is one of those things that you're going to have to decide for yourself because there is no simple consensus.
Environmental lead is bad. There's no question about that. Increasingly, there's research to suggest that even low levels of lead are harmful (NIH Study). It's not just full-blown poisoning that you want to watch out for, but more subtle effects like hypertension and even gout.
Personally, I don't feel comfortable with any amount of lead, and realistically it's not hard or expensive to replace the leaded-brass with stainless in this situation. Is one ball valve going to be the thing that kills you? Probably not, but brewing involves swings in both temperature and pH, both of which serve to degrade alloys.
But, ultimately, it's a judgment call that everyone makes differently.
Brass is fine as long as you clean it properly. John Palmer details what that means in one of the appendices of How to Brew, which is available online here http://www.howtobrew.com/appendices/appendixB.html
The especially important part:

Tom Gannam/Associated Press
ST. LOUIS � Tyler Colvin had one big swing. Colorado Rockies pitchers got a lot of big outs.
Jeff Francis worked five solid innings before the bullpen took over, and Colvin hit a three-run homer as the Rockies beat the St. Louis Cardinals 3-2 on Tuesday night.
�We�re playing a great ballclub that�s right in the race,� Colvin said. �It�s good to see us hold them off.�
Matt Holliday hit his 14th homer in the first inning for the Cardinals, who had been 32-10 when scoring first. Carlos Beltran was 0-for-3 with a walk to end a nine-game RBI streak in which he drove in 15 runs.
The Cardinals were 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position.
�Normally we get that kind of lead and it�s hard to catch us because we keep piling them on,� manager Mike Matheny said. �But they kept us off balance. They did what they needed to do to shut us down.�
Matt Belisle retired four in a row to end the eighth, the biggest out coming on Holliday�s groundout with two runners on.
Rafael Betancourt worked out of trouble in the ninth for his 13th save in 17 chances. He had blown three of his last five save opportunities, but he got Jon Jay to look at strike three with two on for the final out.
�I thought it was going to be a little further out than it was,� Jay said. �He made a good pitch and I should have tried to foul it off to stay alive.�
The versatile Colvin has started at all three outfield spots plus first base and batted everywhere in the lineup except fourth and ninth. He�s batting .358 (24-for-67) his last 18 games with seven homers and 22 RBIs.
�He�s a terrific find for us,� manager Jim Tracy said. �He�s rediscovered himself.�
Francis (2-1) beat the Cardinals for the sixth time in seven career decisions, following up on his first victory since July 2010 in his previous start against the Cubs.
Francis didn�t allow a run after giving up Holliday�s two-run homer in the first. The Cardinals had two runners in scoring position the next four innings against the lefty, who earned his 57th win to break a tie with Ubaldo Jimenez for third on the franchise career list and leaves him one behind Jason Jennings for second.
�I love being here; I love playing for this team,� Francis said. �For them to give me a shot, so far I�ve pitched well and taken advantage of it. Hopefully, it sticks.�
Jay singled with one out in the first ahead of Holliday�s 14th homer, a low liner that banged off a sign just over the left-field wall. Holliday is batting .500 (30-for-60) in the last 15 games with four homers, 18 RBIs and nine doubles, and he has five homers and 13 RBIs in 19 career games against his old team.
Rookie Joe Kelly (1-1) was strong for the fourth time in five outings as the stand-in starter for injured Jaime Garcia, hurt only by Colvin�s 10th homer off a changeup in the third that put Colorado up 3-2. Colvin homered for the second consecutive game the at-bat after catcher Yadier Molina made a wild throw to second on a sacrifice bunt attempt by Francis that would have resulted in a forceout.
�I want Yadi being aggressive; I want him making that play,� Matheny said. �That�s the right play to make. You can�t have guys out there being tentative. The ball just sailed on him.�
Both teams left the bases loaded in the third, but the Rockies took the lead on Colvin�s 10th homer, while the Cardinals came up empty when Allen Craig broke his bat on a two-out soft liner to third.
The Rockies stranded three in the fourth, too, when Carlos Gonzalez popped out to short. Gonzalez singled in the third to extend his hitting streak to 11 games.

Great Filter Bag & Verro
By Forensic Scientist
from St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands
About Me Homeowner
Comments about iRobot Fine Particle Filter Bag for Verro®:
Have used fine filter bag for over 1 year and it is fantastic in cleaning pool. I have the jet version of Verro Pool Robot and it kept pool clean for the 4 months it took me to get a new pool pump shipped to Virgin Islands - just have to turn bag inside-out and hose squirt off debris and algae it picks up. I have cartridge filters (7) which are $50.00 each locally and this filter bag keeps pool cleaner than pump and filter. This is very economical. I run my Verro 4 or 5 times a week (7 if we have a lot of Sahara Desert Dust (full of dust and mold/algae spores) and electricity cost is only about $0.55 even with our very high $0.37 per kilowatt/hour electricity rates (most of US is below 10 cents).One word of caution, I was so excited when I received my Verro that I put it in a very algae covered pool without cleaning pool the old way first and that really plugged up the bag - but it trained me how to clean filter bag. I would suggest you be a little less thrilled when you get yours and clean your pool before first use.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

11 months and counting with same filter

About Me Homeowner, Pet Owner
Had to get the hang of placing filter back on wires the first two times but has been a breeze since. Durable material. I am pleased. Ordering a spare for future use whenever that is needed.

not strong enough
By Gutterman
from Grand Forks BC
catches a lot of debris but mine has holes in it after about 8 uses and the new bag that wears out can't be bought without the expensive holder that will likely never wear out. IROBOT should be able to sell the bags separately.

i have never used something that did such a great job in our pool. this bag has captured the smallest sand particles you would have never even known they were in the pool.

Similar items on [Amazon}(http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Slim Anti-Slip Velvet Hangers) vary in price, but this deal still seems better.
3 Comments add a comment
I don't know if these are nice ones or not but I remember looking at some in a b&m store somewhere a while back ---maybe Dollar Tree?---and the velvety stuff came right off in your hand, so it would also be all over your clothes and before long your clothes would be a mess and your hangers would be right back to being plain old naked hangers.
@donslin: I couldn't determine whether any of the similar items posted on [Amazon](http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Slim Anti-Slip Velvet Hangers) were these, but I just went over and read the reviews on all of those and couldn't find that particular complaint. Almost all of the low ratings over there were because some of those broke easily. Overall, the ratings there were high. I wish I could locate reviews of this particular brand to post.
@belyndag: I agree, they do break easily. I have never had a problem with the velvet coming off and we have a ton of these. I usually buy them on sale so at this price they are disposable. When they break I toss them and don't feel bad.

This is the packaging of any new device that you feel compelled to keep just in case the device fails in the first couple of weeks and the store will expect it to be returned in the original box.
I have a cupboard full of failboxes I can't throw away just yet.

What is tenderer than a basket full of flowering hearts? The center block comes together easily by using fusible web and by finishing the applique edges with a decorative buttonhole stitch. Add a row of simple-to-piece rail fence blocks in a variety of red fabrics, then finish off the 26" square wall hanging with a simple black border. This pattern is great for beginners and for gift giving. Or, put together several blocks fo make a larger quilt. Designed by Nancy Rink

text: For those of you that are fans of the Shugo Chara series this lesson is for you all. Today I will show you "how to draw Dia" and she is Amu's last Guardian character. She is a very pretty chibi like figure that wears a yellow plaid dress, with a yellow headband that has two diamond shapes attached. Her long curled pigtails make her more adorable then ever. I had a lot of fun recreating Dia, and I think you will too. If no one requested her, I wouldn't have drawn her in the first place. Thanks for joining me with another lesson on another great character from the Shugo Chara series.

5 Reasons It's Still Not Cool to Admit You're a Gamer
#2. We're Still Obsessed by Shiny Gadgets
Since we've brought film into this, take a look at the (very short) clip below. It's one of the first movies ever made, and the very first one to ever get a copyright as a motion picture:
That was the whole thing. Fred Ott's Sneeze, made in 1896. It's five seconds of a guy sneezing. People used to pay good money to watch that sort of thing, in traveling shows with little kiosks.
They weren't all suffering from crippling brain damage, it's just that at one time film was brand new and the technology was startling all on its own. So movies were usually just very short, simple sequences (a woman dancing, a fat guy falling down, a disobedient housewife getting whipped). Later they'd throw in some primitive camera tricks, like making an actor disappear with an edit, or making an object float with simple stop-motion animation, and the audience would almost poop their pants with awe.
Yet his monocle remains undisturbed
But once the technology was no longer novel, those early films became utterly worthless--you'd have to be pretty damned stoned to pay to see a re-release of Sneeze. No one thought watching those clips were teaching life lessons or even moving you emotionally--the main emotion elicited could be described as, "HOLY SHIT, I AM WATCHING A MOVIE!" It was only later that they were able to tell stories like Gone with the Wind and The Wizard of Oz, epics that connected with people on some deeper level that actually left them changed in some way.
Video games, for the most part, never move past that "HOLY SHIT I AM PLAYING A VIDEO GAME" stage. We have an E3 coming up. Watch how much of the conversation revolves around technical novelty (motion controls, upgraded graphics, 3D) versus character or story or creativity. We have only ourselves to blame--we pretty much demand this.
For instance, at the time of this writing, I have a still-unopened copy of Remedy's Alan Wake, a just-released game I've been anticipating for about five years, which I'm saving for some free weekend. It's an atmospheric horror tale which reviewers assure me is on the cutting edge of non-ridiculous video game storytelling. But I'm browsing around gaming blogs and message boards and I'm getting worried. I see dozens of comments like this:
Oh-oh. What's the complaint that has everyone up in arms? Is there a cheap twist at the end? Is the main character two-dimensional? Is there a frustrating minigame where you have to carefully groom Alan's pubic hair?
No. It turns out somebody took a screenshot of the game, zoomed in 500 percent and counted up the pixels to make sure every frame was rendering at the maximum 720p resolution the Xbox 360 is capable of.
It turned out some parts of some frames weren't. All hell broke loose. Here are hundreds of posts on the subject at gaming forum NeoGaf. Here are hundreds more at B3D. Here's 2,000 posts on the subject at the Alan Wake site.
On some level we know this is wrong, because we know to hold films to a different standard. We know that advances in CGI couldn't save the Star Wars prequels, and that pretty 3D doesn't make Avatar the best movie of the year. Yet, in the next breath after mocking Avatar fans as slack-jawed yokels easily amused by a cheap technical gimmick, we will fly into a rage if some new game's technical gimmicks aren't up to par.
Nothing else matters. Who's that woman Alan is talking to up there? Where are they going? How does it play into the story? What emotions is this scene going to elicit? Tension? Dread? Humor? HOW CAN YOU WORRY ABOUT SUCH THINGS WHEN THE ROLL CAGE ON HIS PICKUP TRUCK ONLY HAS A 19:25 PIXEL RATIO.
Of course, that level of outrage speaks to something else entirely...
#1. We Have Some Serious Entitlement Issues
I don't want to get into an argument about piracy. I'm thinking that none of us reading this can cast the first stone on that one. Information wants to be free, you weren't going to buy it anyway, they're all greedy corporations, etc. But then you have the Humble Indie Bundle.
That was a bundle of DRM-free independent games that, combined, would normally sell for $80. The makers offered the bundle as a direct download to the consumer--no corporate middle men--and let customers pay whatever they wanted, down to a penny.
"Yeah, that seems fair."
It wasn't free, you still had to pay. But you could set the price.
If ever there was a measure of the gaming community's sense of entitlement, this was it. All of the rationale for piracy--high prices, hatred of corporations, annoying DRM--was stripped away. Here we would find what we gamers think game creators owe us, and what we think we owe in return. The results:
The average downloader offered to pay $9.18, giving themselves a nice 87 percent discount off the retail price.
More than a quarter of the downloaders stole it outright.
That's right. More than a quarter believed that even one penny was too much to offer in return for the hundreds of hours of labor it took to create the games.
And that's not including the people who traded the Bundle off torrents and file trading services--this is just the people who pirated the games directly off of the game maker's server. In other words, they intentionally used the game developers' resources so, in addition to paying nothing, they would actually cost them additional money on bandwidth. It's like if you not only refused to drop a nickel into the street musician's guitar case, but waited for him to finish the song before taking a handful of change out.
Oh, Stevie. You make it too easy.
Those same PC gamers--who spend 75 percent of their waking hours explaining how PC's are the ultimate gaming platform--seem baffled as to why PC gaming is dying. Hey, remember back when every new groundbreaking innovation happened on the PC? What happened to those days? After all, remember the hype about Spore and how it was going to change the world? That would be the game that was pirated 1.7 million times in its first three months.
But who could resist its siren call?
Gosh, I wonder why these publishers are putting all of their resources into the harder-to-pirate consoles instead? Forget about the debate over the morality of file sharing. It's not that; it's just simple cause-effect. We're smashing out the windows because it's fun, and then crying because the rain is coming in. It makes us all look like spoiled, entitled brats with no concept of how the adult world works. Don't tell me this is because gamers are mostly kids, either--the average age of video game players is 35.
We help ourselves to free game after free game, and then scream bloody murder when Ubisoft goes overboard with anti-piracy measures. When the makers of the Modern Warfare series decided to make the consoles front and center for the sequel--stripping some features PC gamers are used to in the process--gamers threw a tantrum and bombarded Amazon with hundreds of one-star reviews for a game they admit right in the reviews they never actually purchased or played.
See, I don't think those guys understand what "review" means. And of course, they couldn't make it through their crusade without the ever-present "we'll just pirate it instead!" threat.
The, "they're treating us like animals, so let's shit on their floor!" line of thinking is the hallmark of teenagers in full teenager mode. It's no wonder gamers get portrayed in the media as impulsive and immature:
...and why it's so hard to convince people the infamous "WoW freakout" video is a fake:
Come on, guys. We've got a reputation to outgrow. From now on, let's shove the remote control of maturity up our ass instead.

Butler Maps Northern California Motorycle Map -
Looking at your typical road atlas will tell you how to get from point A to point B, but it will not tell which way is the most captivating if you're on two wheels. A Butler Motorcycle Map does just that. Their comprehensive maps detail the best segments of road so you no longer have to wonder. Just ride!
Rather than suggesting a loop that begins and ends in the same spot, a Butler Motorcycle Map allows riders to quickly and easily plan a route based around their own time restraints and preferences. We understand that most riders do not have months to explore Colorado passes or Utah deserts nor do they have time to sift through the countless websites and blogs that divulge the best rides in say Wyoming or Montana. Their years of research and riding have eliminated the need to waste time searching and wondering if you're getting the best out of your ride. With one map you can see where the best riding experiences are and decide over a cup of coffee which ones you want to ride.

I m developing an iPhone app which includes facebook wall posting.After log in, I post to user's wall by following code:
NSString *appIcon = [NSString stringWithString:@"http://a2.twimg.com/profile_images/416166235/apple-black_normal.png"];
NSString *appSiteUrl = [NSString stringWithString:@"http://www.apple.com"];
NSString *attachment= [NSString stringWithFormat:@"{\"caption\":\"%@ Likes in the iPhone App\",\"description\":\"\",\"media\":[{\"type\":\"image\",\"src\":\"%@\",\"href\":\"%@\"}]}",_facebookName,appIcon,appSiteUrl];
// [attachment stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSArray *obj = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:attachment,nil];
NSArray *keys = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"attachment",nil];
NSDictionary *params = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjects:obj forKeys:keys];
NSLog(@"atachment : %@",[params description]);
[[FBRequest requestWithDelegate:self] call:@"facebook.stream.publish" params:params];
This results into Error,saying that "The user hasn't authorized the application to perform this action".
In the Facebook Profile of user, the app has only permission to access user's basic information. So I need to take "stream_publish " from the user.
So how to give extended permission Dialog (for permission of "stream_publish") ??
Any help would be appreciated.

Anyone have experience using a Google Chromebook?
Everyone's got an opinion, but I want to hear from those have actually used one. What did you like? What did you dislike? Would you buy one again?
Here's what got my attention:
-- boots in 10 seconds
-- Never slows down
-- no virus problems
-- software updates all automatic on the web
This seemingly solves all the issues I have with PC's at a fraction of the cost of an Apple. The new one just announced comes at $250. I am almost always in a wifi zone anyway, so that is not an issue. What should I know before taking the plunge?
20 Answers answer
Of course it's at a fraction of the cost of an Apple. It does a fraction of what the Apple does.
Let the downvoting begin. I say this because anytime I've mentioned Apple in any previous comment, I always get negative votes for some reason.
The Apple will let you run things like Microsoft Office. You cannot run that application on the Chrome OS but may be able to download some other spreadsheet application that's similar. Have you ever tried to use a website that required Internet Explorer? There are many but one that I know immediately is those that are for Camera DVR's. They use special plugins that are only compatible with IE. You'll never be able to access those websites on that computer. These are just a couple examples and there are many others.
Regarding the hardware, I'm not sure if you could use external DVD drives or HD's on that laptop. Do some research.
You cannot expect to compare a $250 laptop with a $1000 macbook and expect them to be equal.
The idea is it is a cloud machine. You would not store things on it but any one you log on to is yours.
Example if you would come over and log on using your google credentials you would get your email, docs, plus, bookmarks, google drive. It would not be my machine at all.
"The Apple will let you run things like Microsoft Office." You have google Docs.
Have you ever tried to use a website that required Internet Explorer? Chrome has an IE extension.
I'm not sure if you could use external DVD drives or HD's on that laptop. The idea is you would not need such things everything you need is on the web.
I did not get too excited but I will check it out.
My limited experience was I used a http://chromeos.hexxeh.net/ on a dell, just to see if I could get the wifi to work. (at the time it did not, so I did not do much testing).
I have 2 CR-48's (The original Chromebook) 1 for me and 1 for the wife. I love it. I use it mainly for web browsing and email. It can go for days without a charge. Just log in to your google account and all of your settings, saved sites, apps and Gmail are there in seconds. Google Docs is a pretty good alternative to MS Office and you can now read and edit while offline.
@caffeine_dude: I new someone would downvote my comment. Was that you?
Anyway, I mentioned that you can use similar applications like Microsoft Office but not office itself.
Chrome may have an IE mode but I assure you that you cannot use IE extensions within Chrome. You might be able to fake out a website into thinking you have IE installed but for those particular extensions that are made specifically for IE will not work in Chrome.
I suppose you never bought a music CD and wanted to rip your own MP3? As you stated, everything is on the cloud so who do you send that CD to so you can access it from the cloud and then rip your MP3s? Additionally, I like the ability to rip my DVDs of the Big Bang Theory and put them on my MicroSD card so I can watch them at the Gym without using bandwidth from my wireless carrier which would become very expensive.
I doubt I could put all my RAW Canon 1D Mark II photographs on "the cloud" it because that's terabytes of data.
^^^ oops typo. That's "knew" not "new"
@dps47: Chromebooks serve a purpose, but if you're expecting it to do the same as full laptop you might be disappointed. I'm not saying to waste your money on some Apple, but you can find a decent laptop for $80 more that will solve all of @cengland0's problems for $670 less than advertised.
My 7 year old HP which cost under $600 (upgraded to SSD last year)
-- Boots in 20 seconds
-- Hasn't slowed down yet
-- Never had a virus
-- Updating software isn't a problem
So the advantages for the Chromebook:
-- ultralight
-- battery life
-- cloud based
-- inexpensive
I've tested one out, and wasn't a fan from the hour I messed around with it. Just think of it as a non touch-screen Android tablet with a keyboard, that is essentially what it is.
@cengland0: I'm with you on this. I was an Apple hater for a while because I thought I could always accomplish everything with a PC at a fraction of the cost. To a certain extent I was able to, but, after owning a MacBook, I find that I enjoy not having to deal with maintaining everything, like I did on my PC.
Based on what I read about this, I feel like you will get what you pay for. Hence, the people who know what to expect will be satisfied with their limited capabilities with this peewee, whereas, those who are sucked into the google fanfare and "solve-all-your-problems" propaganda, will be sadly disappointed with a number of things about it.
@cengland0: Maybe you were downvoted by the OP because the OP specifically said:
"Everyone's got an opinion, but I want to hear from those have actually used one. What did you like? What did you dislike? Would you buy one again?"
I didn't get the sense from your post that you've ever actually used a chromebook.
@j5: We've both used one in our hearts. And we should all listen to our hearts.
@j5: You're probably right. The OP did say everyone has an opinion and I am technically savvy so I thought he/she would appreciate my comments even though I've never used one.
Just like the Microsoft surface, I have no desire to use this Google chromebook because I already know ahead of time that it's not the product for me.
I'm not anti-Google, just the opposite. I have Google's Nexus phone and the Asus Transformer Infinity with detachable keyboard using Google's Android operating system. They do not do everything I need in life so I also have an iPhone, 2 Macbook Pros, a Mac Pro, a Mac Mini, and an iMac.
Before any of you say it, I'll save you the time. No, I don't have any what you would call "PC's". Apple computers are PC's too you know. PC stands for Personal Computer and I do run XP and Windows 7 on my Apple products. I don't need a Dell, HP, Compaq, or whatever other brand there is, if I have an Apple with an Intel processor.
I do not consider the Chromebook as a replacement for a full-fledged computer unless you are talking about a tablet. It would make a decent replacement for one if that is your intent.
I got one of the free beta units. I like it (especially at the price of zero) but I honestly only prefer it over my tablet when I need to bang on the keyboard a lot.
I would agree the line between this and a table is probably pretty thin as that goes. It has most of the aspects of what people are searching for in a tablet + a keyboard.. So compare it with a tablet thats probably a better comparison.
@cengland0: I save my downvotes for abusive people, spammers, or people who are absolutely wrong. I did not downvote you even though I did not agree with you.
Example if you would have said "the chromebook runs xp in the background" or something positively wrong I would have downvoted you and corrected you.
You gave your opinion, I wanted to expand on it, while you are right, it will not use Microsoft Office Google Docs is the alternative. I am dying to downvote 'was it you that downvoted me' comment, but you added more valid points, which I am going to talk about.
I wish all my photos were in the cloud I am not very good about backing my stuff up. They live on backed up servers and I would never need to worry about a hard drive crash taking all of my pictures. With google Music you can store your music on the cloud, but you will need to get them there first.
Ran out of room:
To the OP do you have a 4gb + drive that you can experiment with? You can try chrome book http://chromeos.hexxeh.net/ and follow the instructions. I can assist you if you wish. You can test the OS feel.
This is to 'Fix your USB drive when your are done'
1) Type "DISKPART" from the Command Prompt (accessible by clicking on Start and then typing "cmd" into the open field); you will then see the following prompt: DISKPART>
2) Type "LIST DISK" to see what number your USB drive is listed as.
3) Type "SELECT DISK 2" (if your USB is disk 2; replace # with your disk #); Diskpart will confirm that "Disk 2 is now the select disk."
4) Type "SELECT PARTITION 1" (this command selects what should be the only partition on your USB drive, the small one that you want to delete to get back the larger, full partition size). Diskpart will confirm with "Partition 1 is now the selected partition."
5) Type "clean". This will delete all partitions. There are no warning prompts if you have existing data - make sure you have copied everything off before doing this!
6) Type "CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY" to create a new, full-size partition. Diskpart will confirm with message of "Diskpart succeeded in creating the specified partition." You can type in "LIST PARTITION" to confirm the new, full-size.
7) Type "EXIT" to leave Diskpart. You can now format your USB drive by using the standard Windows formatting process.
My Dell D620 is using hexxeh's chrome book right now with the Motorola bluetooth mouse I got off of woot. Instead of the usb drive I am using a 6gb hd I pulled from an old laptop running win98. I used http://www.amazon.com/Drive-Adapter-Converter-Optical-External/dp/B002OV1VJW adapter that is treated like a usb drive.
The wireless still is not fixed. but Ethernet is working. Obviously the netbook's wifi would work. It remember woot's user name and password (password sync in google)
I was under the impression that my extensions would be on this chrome book, but this is not true.
Sorry I have one last thing to say:
"I was under the impression that my extensions would be on this chrome book, but this is not true."
This is not true when I logged on this morning my extensions I installed on my PC were on the chrome book.
@cengland0: I have a chromebook and from your comments it's obvious to me that 1, you don't have one and 2, you are an apple fanboi.
The chromebook will support adding an external drive. I have a USB external DVD burner and it rips audio cd's just fine. I have 16 gig of internal storage plus an sdcard slot on the side plus a second usb port to hook up an external hard drive. You do not rip to the cloud unless you want to. I rip to internal/ external storage.
The IE tab does more than report IE as the default browser. It actually emulates IE. I run an app called UA spoofer which spoofs (falsely reports) whatever browser I choose. My bank requires IE and if I use the spoofer to self report IE, the webpage still will not load. However if I use an IE tab (which emmulates active X) the bank loads just fine.
Will the chromebook do everything? No. It was designed to be optimized for what the majority of people do with a computer; get on the internet. For that, it excels.

Iraq has shortlisted 12 international companies and consortiums to build the country's first oil export pipeline in decades, and will ask them to submit their bids by the end of this year for an $18 billion project that will make the country less dependent on Persian Gulf export terminals.
By HASSAN HAFIDH
Iraq has shortlisted 12 international companies and
consortiums to build the country's first oil export pipeline in
decades, and will ask them to submit their bids by the end of
this year for an $18 billion project that will make the country
less dependent on Persian Gulf export terminals, two oil
industry sources said.
Iraq's oil ministry has chosen these companies out of more
than 80 international companies which submitted their
credentials to build a section of the 1,680 km pipeline
stretching from the oil hub of Basra in southern Iraq to
Jordanian port of Aqaba in the Red Sea, the first person
The short listed companies and consortiums are: Lukoil,
China National Petroleum Corp., Marubeni
Corp., Mitsui & Co., Toyota Tsusho, Punj Lloyd (India) and
Mass Global International (Iraq), Saipem, Daewoo International
Corp., Consolidated Contractors Co. (Greece), Go Gas, L&T
and Fuis Capital, Petrofac and Stroygazconsulting, or SGC, and
Orascom and Petrojet (Egypt).
SCOP will invite the short listed companies to receive the
tender package, the second person said. SCOP will also propose
that companies need to submit their offers by November or
December, he added.
Iraq and Jordan signed a preliminary agreement in April to
build the section of the pipeline that would stretch from an
Iraqi oil pumping station in Haditha, west of Iraq, to Aqaba.
The rest of the pipeline, which is 680 km long, linking a Basra
pumping station with the one in Haditha would be built and
financed by the Iraqi oil ministry.
Iraq hopes the pipeline will make it less dependent on
Persian Gulf export terminals, providing the country with an
alternative route if Iran closes the Strait of Hormus. Tehran
has threatened on several occasions to close the strategic
waterway through which 35% of the world's shipborne oil is
exported, most recently in response to international sanctions
over its suspect nuclear program.
Last year Iraq started design and feasibility studies on the
pipeline that's expected to carry 2.25 MMbpd. The country is
now preparing to start work on the section from Haditha to
Aqaba, with a capacity of 1 MMbpd.
A third section of the pipeline, running to Syria's Banias
port in the Mediterranean, has been postponed because of the
conflict in the neighboring country. It would have a capacity
of 1.25 MMbpd.
Under the agreement signed in April, Iraq would supply
energy poor Jordan with 150,000 bpd to feed its Zarqa refinery near Amman. Iraq will also
supply Jordan with 100 MMcfd of gas via another pipeline that
will be built parallel to the oil line.
On Tuesday, Iraq decided to extend an oil export agreement
to supply Jordan with crude for one year, without giving more
details. Iraq exports some 10,000 to 15,000 bpd to Jordan at a
heavily discounted price of dated Brent minus $18 a barrel.
Iraq sits on some of the world's largest oil reserves and
was once a major exporter of crude. It's now trying to rebuild
an industry that was devastated by years of war and

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

ExtJs VS other javascript framework
Hi All,
I am using ExtJS for last 8 months and I am very pleased with the controls and features it provides. Now I need to persuade larger group to start using ExtJS. I want to prepare a slide-show which should cover following.
1) Why ExtJs.
2) How it is different from Jquery and other competitors?
3) List out the domains using ExtJS? (List of application from various domains that are making use of ExtJS).
4) How good is ExtJS support?
5) How big is ExtJS development community?
Thanks in advance
21 Dec 2012 12:49 AM #2
Actually, JQuery etc are not frameworks but only libraries. The only other framework I've heard is Dojo, but, unfortunately, I have no experience with it.
So, that is the difference - solutions based on framework are faster to develop, but usually works slower... until app grows large - and then it becomes faster, because framework allows higher-level optimizations.
22 Dec 2012 5:40 PM #3
I think in terms of frameworks there are three..... Ext JS, Dojo and SmartClient. Dojo is impressive (and I really like a lot of the changes they made in their latest version) but I have found Ext JS a little easier to work with and develop. SmartClient has rich UI controls (some would say richer than Ext JS) but doesn't have the same MVC/MVP application architecture model built into it unless you use their server side components (which in my mind is not a good choice to built a production web application). You are better off with a solid set of web-services running on the JAX-RS stack or other equivalent technologies and then having a light-weight JS based client. But your mileage will vary. There is also JavascriptMVC which adds a application framework to jQuery (and is very strong on testability) but jQuery-UI is nothing but a handful of controls and I have read there are huge compatability issues with the jQuery add-ons from the public domain (enough I have shied from them). Google Closure looked promising (afterall they did write GMail and Picasa in it) but the entire compile to production / run through a hosted translator during dev turned me off (or I would've sticked with GWT!) Last but not least in YUI, which does have an application framework, but is more of a widget set. They are nice, but a little old as it were. So that leaves you with two independents (ExtJS and SmartClient) and Dojo (heavily backed by IBM - but open source). Sorry the formatting here sucks - this is IE10 and the rich text editor does not allow new lines!!!!Stamp Image Bursting Application

> 1) Why ExtJs.
> 2) How it is different from Jquery and other competitors?
There are very few contenders that qualify as a full service JavaScript framework. jQuery generates a lot of noise but it is really a low level utility layer that supports a chaotic ecosystem, by contrast ExtJS gives you a readymade cohesive framework and productivity out of the box.
Dojo should in theory be an alternative but my day-job is based on Dojo and I know that things are not well in the Dojo camp. This autumn they released a major upgrade that has deprecated large regions of the old Dojo API, for example Dojo now has a new minimal version of ExtJS stores. Even worse, the two long established Dojo grids are to be superseded by a new grid called dGrid but this is not actually part of the official Dojo package instead it is offered by the semi official commercial force behind Dojo (SitePen). The SitePen dGrid has been in beta for over a year and during the autumn I had to offer apologies during product demos about manifest bugs in dGrid's scrolling behavior. I sense the glory days of Dojo have past and their attempt to overlay touch UI behavior over the main library is a source of future trouble.
> 4) How good is ExtJS support?
When the premium forum was open for public read access I got the impression is was good and there is the option to pay for higher levels of engagement.
> 3) List out the domains using ExtJS? (List of application from various domains that are making use of ExtJS).
> 5) How big is ExtJS development community?
Public stats suggest that jQuery dominates and everything else is insignificant, however the Google API cache cannot distinguish between trival usage of base jQuery and framework adoption by truely rich internet applications. Think of it this way, if Google could unleash a global software worm that measured lines of code executed daily around the planet they would probably conclude that Microsoft's Excel macro language is the most popular programming language.
Don't over strategise software tool selection, large project software development has a high failure rate even with a fair wind, so just select the tools that work today and ignore the dreaded phrase "strategic alignment". Those promoting such strategy will have a new one next year and you will have a completed project.

Use AngularJS or any of the other 'great' MVC frameworks out there if you like writing HTML. Writing HTML to produce a web app is a bit like building a fancy 80-floor hotel, by putting one grain of sand in place after the other. Productivity is king!
I'd rather stay in this side of the pond:
Other frameworks deal with HTML's shortcomings by either abstracting away HTML, CSS, and/or JavaScript or by providing an imperative way for manipulating the DOM.

Ext JS is a component (widget) library and it competes with Dojo and YUI. If you need a component library, Ext JS would be a solid choice.
