6 Awesome Vehicles of War with Ridiculous Weaknesses
#3. Firing the Hawker Hunter's Guns Caused the Engine to Die
Developed in Britain during the 1950s, the Hawker Hunter was one of the first jet interceptors fielded by the Royal Air Force. An interceptor is designed primarily to go out, catch up to and shoot down enemy bombers. Therefore they are supposed to be fast, they are supposed to have a long range and they are supposed to be able to shoot down planes more than twice their size.
And as you can see from the photo, it sure as hell looks like it could do it.
Fabulously so.
And, in fact, the first prototype broke the world airspeed record for 1953. Unfortunately, after the designers got the "fast" and "looks cool" parts down, they decided to call it a day.
The Achilles Heel:
The Hawker Hunter could only stay airborne for about an hour, which meant that if anything went wrong with the flight plan, it resulted in an immediate emergency. But that was the least of a pilot's worries when flying one of these to intercept a bomber.
Maybe they should have spent a little more time on those blueprints and a little less time color-coordinating.
If the thing was flying high enough, firing the guns would cause the engines to surge and catch fire before crashing. Its own engines. The guns were positioned in such a way that the exhaust and shell casings would fly right the hell back into the spinning metal blades keeping the plane aloft.
As a result, 30,000 feet was about the limit at which the interceptor could safely fire its guns, and incidentally that's about 10,000 feet below the cruising altitude of nearly every bomber in the 1950s. So, like a giant steel bumble bee, the Hawker Hunter couldn't destroy anything without killing itself, too.
"That's a great height. Just keep it there for a sec."
We guess this isn't as silly as if they had, say, positioned important parts of the plane in front of the guns, because that has happened, too ...
#2. The De Ruyter Cruiser's Guns Had to Shoot Through the Ship
Built by the Netherlands just before World War II, the De Ruyter class cruiser consisted of seven gigantic guns controlled by the most expensive and accurate targeting computer money could buy. The Netherlands was so proud of it that they named the De Ruyter their flagship. Now for those of you who might be thinking, "Funny, I don't recall the Netherlands being renowned for building state of the art weaponry or military prowess," you're absolutely right. It's historically a nation of pacifists. Asking the Netherlands to build a war ship would be like asking a vegan to prepare a steak dinner: They might get the ingredients right, but you'll always have the sense that they're trying to teach a self-righteous lesson with the preparation.
"We're just here for the dinky model ships."
And even though it likely wasn't intentional, in the case of the De Ruyter, the anti-aircraft guns had to shoot the ship before it had any chance of hitting the enemy.
The Achilles Heel:
The cruiser had originally been designed to be much more powerful, but the pacifist movement in the Netherlands had greatly reduced the armament on board, to the point where the anti-air capability was all limited to one cluster of guns on one side of the ship. Here's a little diagram to help you understand exactly why that would be a problem.
We drew this diagram drunk, and it's still better than the Dutch attempt.
The anti-aircraft guns were perfectly lined up to shoot right through the bridge, or as those of you who don't watch the History Channel or Star Trek might know it, that place where senior officers and commanders hang out. It was either that, or just let the aircraft attack head on, since there was virtually no anti-aircraft armament that could protect the front of the ship.
Naturally, the De Ruyter didn't last very long in World War II. It was sunk quickly during its first major engagement in the Battle of the Java Sea, showing just how much military might a nation of pacifists contains.
"OK, just ... wait until it comes around for another pass, then toss the wrenches at it."
#1. The Mark I Tank Would Knock Out Its Own Crew
Yes, it's the tank they used in that chase scene in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
This tank deserves some leniency for poor design, since it was the first tank ever made. We'll ignore the fact that it was so ridiculously loud that it could be heard for miles around, and the fact that the tank would glow red at night, completely giving away its position. We're pushing all of that aside. To its credit, this tank was incredibly deadly against the outmatched Germans, but it was also incredibly deadly to the British soldiers who had to pack themselves inside of it.
They're probably still inside. Someone should really check these things.
The Achilles Heel:
The biggest problem was that there was no separation between the engine and the crew compartment. That would be the equivalent of installing a car's motor in the passenger seat, and then sealing all the windows and vents with steel. The massive amounts of carbon monoxide pumping out from the engines of the Mark I would sometimes cause entire tank crews to pass out in the middle of combat.
"Aw. All tuckered out. Seal it back up."
As the British designed newer versions of the tank, they never bothered to take care of the biggest and most dangerous problem. Instead, they upgraded the Mark I to a troop carrier by extending the length, but the troops were completely useless wherever they arrived thanks to the severe carbon monoxide poisoning. In addition, the temperature could also get up to 120 degrees inside, causing some soldiers to get heatstroke in addition to huffing toxic fumes. If WWI had been against raw meats and frozen pizzas, Britain would have won the war single-handedly after inadvertently developing the most deadly and durable oven ever conceived.

While in the stages of a bid, quote, or proposal I was curious how should a designer communicate "price is negotiable" in a professional manner instead of stating the simple fact. I know it's sometimes good to be blunt but I feel it is unprofessional and a possible sign of "oh he will take low pay" or "he needs work".
I think most clients will assume price is negotiable and try to lower it ;)
Something you can do is offer more than one option per project. This doesn't work in every case, but I've done it a few times and results were good. You make two or three proposals based on features, starting with the most basic one and going up to a super-complete-pack. You list the things each option has, and then (somehow!) state that features are more or less flexible, and that if they need to include things that are in a different "pack" you can adjust the pricing.
Offering discounts depending on other factors is also a possibility:
In any case, I'd say something relatively vague like "If you have any questions or would like to discuss this quote, feel free to contact me".
You never communicate that price is negotiable. Sorry. Its bad sales and marketing strategy.
Rule #1 Never speak first.
If they like your work then they'll either pay the rate or start negotiations and see how flexible you are.
You can and should outline what the rate is for. In a bid you would say that this rate is for this exact work. That gives you more flexibility in the negotiations process to be able to either drop elements or upsell. You can also use payment options as a negotiation tactic. Say instead of Net 30 they pay on delivery for a slight reduction.
Price is ALWAYS negotiable. But there's no advantage or reason that you need to remind anyone of that.
I merely provide pricing and then add "If you have any questions or concerns, I'm always happy to to discuss them." If they take that to mean pricing, they can. It doesn't mean I'll alter pricing, but I want clients to feel free to bring up any topic related to the work.
One way to breakdown and prioritise parts of the service you deliver, as well as leave it clearly open to negotiation, is using a MoSCoW analysis.
Basically 'must haves', 'should haves', 'could have if there's time and space in the budget' and finally 'won't have this time but maybe in future'.
Just use the must for basic necessities, should for mostly things that they've asked for that aren't quite musts, and then use could and won't to show them all the things they could have if they compromise on the budget (negotiate ;).
By presenting them with a prioritised list of the needs you have identified for them with prices or price ranges, it will place the ball firmly in their court to decide what they can afford to purchase from you this time.
Tell them that you do discounts for repeat service. Lets them know you are negotiable, but only if they look after you also.

text: Here is another character from the animated series that airs on Nickelodeon called Legend of Korra which is the new Avatar cartoon. Today I will be showing you "how to draw Tarrlok", step by step. He is a villain in the show, and since I have been uploading just good guys, I thought a character with a mean streak would be a nice change of pace. I don't really watch the new Avatar, but my little sister has watched it before. I don't know if she is still into it because I haven't heard her talk about any of the episodes. Tarrlok is one of the meanest figures in the series so I'm sure that he is going to be a well known character as the series progresses. He sort of has that sniveler type of face which automatically gives you the sense that this guy is no good. Anyways, I will be back tomorrow or maybe later with other stuff for you guys to do, so have fun now and hopefully you learn something new. Adios people.

12 Pictures of Space You Won't Believe Aren't Photoshopped
Look, we all know that space is the final frontier, that space is cold and unforgiving and that in it, nobody can hear you scream. But what you might not know is that, when it thinks nobody is looking, space puts on a frilly dress, covers its forearms in honey and spins around until it falls over ... because space is just flat-out crazy as hell. Oh, don't take our word for it or anything; we have photographic evidence.
#12. Jupiter in Motion
You know what Jupiter looks like -- kind of like a dirty marble -- and you know, objectively, that those bands and swirls you're looking at are all big storms. But it's one thing to know something like that, and another to see it in action. Here's a gif of what Jupiter's storms actually look like in motion.
GIF Bin
You might have seen this before in the movie Another Earth, but if not, well, now you have this time-lapse gif to haunt your existential nightmares for the rest of time. The way those bands all churn at separate speeds and writhe around on the surface in every direction at once -- Jupiter looks less like a serene gas giant and more like a behemoth, roiling mass of space tentacles. And if our totally reasonable and scientific predictions pan out, and Jupiter does indeed turn out to be the egg of Space Cthulhu, we know exactly where it was laid ...
#11. The Bottomless Pit on the Sun
Big Bear Solar Observatory via Discovery News
What looks like a terrifying cavern in the middle of a Minecraft lava lake is actually a closeup of a sunspot taken from the New Jersey Institute of Technology's Big Bear Solar Observatory. We would've guessed all sorts of things from this image -- a retinal image from Sauron's annual eye exam, an extreme closeup of some kind of skin infection, a freshly violated orange -- but never the sun. Since when is the friggin' sun black? Well, probably since around the same time that ...
#10. Mars Grew a Bunch of Faces
Remember that famous face on Mars that turned out to be a big, fat nothing?
Or that "happy face crater" from Watchmen?
By God, that was one hell of an ARG.
Well, they ain't got jack in comparison to the masterworks of Mars' more gifted Renaissance sculptor: Libya Montes, most famous for her "crowned face" of Mars.
The Crowned Faces
Is that ... Prince?
Why have we never seen this before? That visage is way more compelling than the crude scrawl of the happy face or the expressionless mask of Martian Andre the Giant up there. You can actually make out details on this one: Those full lips, big, round eyes, perky little nose -- hell, we don't just see a face there; we can actually make out enough detail to definitively state whether or not we'd bone the model who sat for it.
(We would, obviously.)
But hold on to your space-monocles, ladies and gentlemen, because Mars gets way, way crazier from here ...
#9. Mars Is a Dali Fan
What is that? Kelp beneath the ocean? Black food coloring dropped in a glass of rose? A bitchin' new screensaver for the iPad? Nope, that's Mars. Those are "intersecting swirling trails" left by dust devils racing across the sand dunes. The dark streaks, however, are another matter ...
The first people to day-trip on Mars are in for a treat.
That looks like a surrealist's impression of a dozen mascara-laced eyes dribbling tears down their giant eyelashes. Or maybe it's an aerial shot of oases in an oversaturated desert. Or no, maybe it's just Mars being weird again: What you are looking at are actually "dark streaks of collapsed material running down sand dunes due to carbon dioxide frost evaporation."
Or hey, maybe for once your eyes aren't lying to you, and it's just the billion-eyed Lady of the Red Planet having a good eon-long cry. But why would she be crying? Well, maybe it's because Mars just misses you so damn much ...
#8. Hearts of Mars
Don't buy into any of that "men are from Mars, women are from Venus" crap. Mars has remembered Valentine's Day every year for the last several millennia, while Venus not only leaves the toilet seat up, it also rains fiery acid every damn day.
OK, OK, clearly we're overreacting to some very basic shapes formed by meteor strikes and such. But you know what we're not overreacting to? The goddamn Bigfoot sightings.
#7. Martian Bigfoot
Zoom. Enhance.
H-Harry Henderson? This picture snapped by NASA appears to be the first official Bigfoot sighting on Mars. The mysterious figure in question can be seen in the bottom left of this image, just behind the piles of rocks.
The Planetary Society
No, next to the other rocks. The piles.
There you have it. That's why all those Bigfoot hunters were having such a hard time: The hairy lil' dude up and joined the space program. Of course, smart people point out all sorts of reasons why that's a very, very stupid thing to think (the phrase "Bigfoot on Mars" should've maybe been the first clue), but we're terminally dumb and panicky over here, and are therefore already preparing for the arrival of our Simian Martian Overlords.
We made cake. It didn't turn out very good, but we're hoping the thought counts enough to keep us out of those hellish Martian Banana Camps.

Has anyone else experienced problems with HP Wi-Fi printers?
I have had a HP 6500a Plus Office Jet e710n All in One Printer for months and have experienced nothing but problems. I have an Apple MacMini and have tried to use the printer in both wireless and USB cable modes and yet the printer continues to intermittently say that it is offline or can't be found no matter what "fix it" downloads I use. I only continued to use it this long because I originally ordered numerous ink cartridges (currently in school writing loads of papers). I finally gave up and bought an Epson...I hope this works.
16 Answers answer
Usually with a mac they install the printer automatically.. I recommend one with a ethernet plug, put it into the home router and give it a static IP from the router. Then you can goto your mac settings > printers > + (add) put in the static IP and it should work with lion automatically.. If not, you will probably need to download the drivers and maybe a network printer driver.
For windows os just download the drivers.
I have experienced a fair amount of pain with WiFi printers...
I recommended using a wired printer if it is an option. It just lowers the number of networking issues to troubleshoot.
DISCLAIMER: I haven't touched a WiFi printer in a few years.
I did just last week. I bought the HP 3052A. I went online, did plenlty of research and I was really surprised how inexpensive it was and that it got a good strong rating. I went to WalMart of all places and there was a kid in the department that actually took the time to ask me questions and recommended a few printers to me too. Bottem line is I bought this unit based on good reviews, good customer service and price.
I should have known someting was up..... What a pile of turd. I spent over an hour and a half trying to get it to work. The install is simple, takes 10 minutes to install software, but the unit could not sync up with my wirless network. I've been doing this a long time, I wrote DOS back in 1992, so I'm no stranger to cpu's. I could not get a hold of HP customer service, no numbers listed in the box and I wasn't waiting days for an email. Best part was when I returned it, the woman said "Oh boy another HP printer returned". I guess that said it all.
@mkentosh: You wrote DOS in 1992? Actually, the original author of DOS was Tim Paterson from Seattle Computer Products in 1980. They sold the rights to it for $75,000 to Microsoft.
We have a wireless HP Deskjet 5850. It's ancient (six years old? seven?) and works like a charm. We've never had a single problem with it; our only grumble is that HP inks are expensive, as we haven't gotten brave enough to use anything other than OEM inks.
I use the HP Photosmart 5510.....It has been a DREAM. Not a single issue to this point. I am keeping my fingers crossed now.
HP makes good printers. Their laser printers last forever. Problem is that the inkjet printers have built in obsolescence. They are good for maybe two or three years. (No technology updates.) And their Asian customer service sucks big time. Their aim is to get you off the line, not to solve your problem.
(That said - I have a 10 year-old HP 4050n Laserjet and a 3 year-old wireless color Officejet 6000 that perform flawlessly. I get ink and toner when it goes on sale.)
Yes, I work for a company that unofficially supports home printers. We do not have to help but we do.
The software either works or makes thing more difficult to setup.
I personally bypass the software and set up all my printers by hard coding the address and using the web interface to setup wireless encryption. I find this the most reliable method. I have not tested on a Mac.
To do this you need to attach the printer to the cat5, the printer will get an address using DHCP.
I use a program called ping range to find the printer on the network. You can also guess by using a command line and finding your PC address and guessing the next few addresses up.
I log into the printer using internet explorer and the new printer address.
I set up the wireless address in the same subset but +100.
I add the printer (windows machine) as a local printer
Create a new port (standard TCP/IP)
The hostname I use the address, but you could technically use the printer name (if you can ping the name via the command line).
For example my pc's address is 192.168.1.2 my subnet is 255.255.255.0 so I would set up the wireless address of the printer to 192.168.1.102.
If anyone else has any questions I would be more then happy to help.
*if you change routers it is possible that you may need to start this process over again.
Example your router hands out addresses 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.254 your new router may hand them out 192.168.0.1-192.168.0.254
@cengland0: I wrote some DOS programs, I didn't claim to be the inventor of DOS.
@mkentosh: You said, and I quote, "I wrote DOS back in 1992" and that sounds like you're claiming you wrote DOS. You did not originally state that you wrote programs for the DOS operating system instead.
really? we need to argue about dos? guy isn't claiming he made that crap.
I have a Macbook and a HP J6480 (so that makes your printer more newer best essentially the same) and have not had any problems with connecting.
Usually I would do one of the three things if it's not functioning.
1) Check for blue light (WiFi On).
2) Unplug printer (from power source) and plug back in. Sometimes my printer "Freezes" but looks normal with the light and everything on, but it won't receive anything.
3) Restart everything. Printer, Mac and Wireless Router (and I also restart my modem).
EDIT: I lol @ dos argument. It's like me saying that I wrote CSS back in high school, which I did. I think he meant that he was writing DOS back in the day but he didn't necessarily invent it.
@joshobra: I lol too.. :D
Due to the type of business we were in, we have owned several different printers over the years such as HP, Brother and Epson. The most reliable and less expensive to run were the HP and Brother. I gave the HP to one of the kids for use at school, so I purchased an HP 3050A at Best Buy for the wireless capability as I needed a unit for casual use. I'm not a hardware or software expert, but I installed it myself without a problem. The unit works great. I suspect the person who had problems with the HP 3052A may have received a defect. That could happen with any company.
@evelyn5317: Sorry but I have to agree with the original poster. I was HP all the way but their wireless inkjet has been a pain since I bought it. When it works it's fabulous. Then it gets pissy and runs away. It is not listed on my computer, it doesn't connect. I have to uninstall and re-install every couple of weeks. I downloaded an update but that did not solve the problem. To add insult to injury I am connecting an HP printer to an HP computer. They should like each other but instead it is like that cousin you try to ignore at the family reunion.

The Business Development Corp. of the Northern Panhandle in November emerged as the new owner of the 600-plus acre Wheeling Corrugating property in Beech Bottom, a complicated transaction weeks in development.
The deal gives the BDC control of the massive property, which includes 150 acres of prime, developable flatlands fronting the Ohio River as well as some 480,000 square feet of fully infrastructured warehouse space already under roof.
State Route 2 LLC, a Hackman subsidiary, purchased the property out of bankruptcy from the now-defunct RG Steel, and immediately signed over the land - and with it, responsibility for environmental legacy issues there - to the BDC. State Route 2 LLC retained the rights to the equipment that's on the property. They'll work together to market it.
BDC Executive Director Pat Ford described it as "a gem" of a property, a rare development opportunity in the heavily industrialized Northern Panhandle. As a nonprofit, the BDC has access to state and federal funds to remediate contaminants on the site, money Hackman couldn't leverage on its own.
Ford said the BDC anted up $200,000 to buy the land rights from State Route 2 LLC, which has an option to harvest all of the equipment. He said the chain of title for environmental contaminant liability "goes from RG directly to the BDC, so we're on the hook for any liability," Ford said.
"But we're doing it with our eyes wide open," he added.
In other news in November:
The nine-member Jefferson County Port Authority discussed future funding and collaboration efforts with the Community Improvement Corp. and heard Jefferson County Commissioner Thomas Graham hint at a future reduction in funding for the Progress Alliance economic development agency.
The authority members and ex-officio members at the meeting agreed all economic development agencies in the county need to be combined in the future.
But seeing a single agency become a reality was the subject of intense conversation.
"Today is about getting this thing organized. The collaborative approach is the best approach. I thought we should have had a port authority years ago. This is now real and this is what we can do for the future," Port Authority Board Chairman Jay Zatta announced as he opened the monthly meeting.
The dissolution of Progress Alliance was accelerated by the resignation of Executive Director Ed Looman, who announced he'd accepted a position as Eastern Ohio project manager with JobsOhio.
A two-hour hearing on Nov. 1 ended with Jefferson County Juvenile Court retaining jurisdiction over two Steubenville High School student-athletes charged with rape.
Visiting Judge Tom Lipps said while the juveniles are mature enough for the case to be transferred to adult court. But, he said, weighing all the factors, the juveniles charged should remain in the juvenile court system. He also ruled that the juveniles, held at the detention center since their arrest, could be released under house arrest.
Charged with rape are Trent Mays, 16, of Bloomingdale and Malik Richmond, 16, of Steubenville. Mays also faces a charge of illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material.
The alleged rape occurred during the overnight hours of Aug. 11-12 and involved a girl who witnesses said was highly intoxicated.
The five-year Steubenville operating levy was renewed by city voters on Nov. 6 by an unofficial 4,645 to 3,176 vote margin.
City Manager Cathy Davison characterized passage of the 5-mill levy as a "a vote of confidence on the transparency of our city council and administration."
The levy, initiated in the early 1960s, has been renewed every five years since. Davison said the levy, which remains based on real estate valuations from the early 1960s, generates $575,000 a year for the city's general fund and accounts for approximately 5 percent of the general fund budget.
Lou Gentile of Steubenville won election to the 30th District state Senate seat he was appointed to 11 months ago, defeating Republican challenger Shane Thompson of St. Clairsville in a highly contested race.
According to the Ohio Secretary of State's official Website Gentile, the Democratic incumbent unofficially garnered 76,164 votes, while Thompson garnered 68,102 votes.
Retired Secret Service Agent Clint Hill and journalist Lisa McCubbin were joined by nearly 1,000 people on Nov. 14 for the inaugural lecture in the Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce Lecture and Concert Series for a discussion on Hill's four-year assignment to protect former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy.
The event was held in the Steubenville High School auditorium.
The lecture featured McCubbin asking Hill questions and Hill recalling details of the Kennedy family that were at times funny, moving and, finally, very sad.
Hill described his initial reluctance to accept the assignment to provide protection for the first lady.
Retired area businessman Jody Glaub recited a history of Steubenville and asked a large crowd attending the eighth-annual Faith in the Future breakfast if, "our faith in God will remain?"
Glaub was the keynote speaker on Nov. 16 at the annual event held at the Starkdale Presbyterian Church.
The JB Green Team board agreed on Nov. 19 to pursue possible criminal charges against the Apex Landfill as well as a civil lawsuit claiming a breach of contract.
The decision to pursue legal action against the landfill operations came during a 70-minute executive session that had been called to discuss, "contract issues and personnel."
Board Chairman Bob Chapman said the landfill was roughly $390,000 in arrears on its tipping fees. John Mascio Jr., legal counsel for the JB Green Team, said he'd been instructed "to send a letter to the Jefferson County prosecutor's office seeking their opinion on possible criminal charges against the landfill. "
The landfill paid the late tipping fees later that month.
Construction got under way on the 80-room, $6 million-plus Microtel Inn & Suites in Steubenville, a project owner Bill Williams sees as a community catalyst.
Williams, a Charleston, W.Va., native, said the four-story structure should be done by late summer 2013.
A tanker barge loaded with a million gallons of natural gas liquids from a tank farm in the Half Moon Industrial Park is on its way to Houston a "significant milestone" in the Weirton port's development, officials said Thursday.
The natural gas liquids, otherwise known as "wet gas," was from locally drilled wells in the Marcellus and Utica shale, and had been stored at a tank farm in Half Moon.
On Nov. 25, the gases were loaded onto the tanker barge and towed down the Ohio River, reaching the Mississippi River on Dec. 2. Weirton Area Port Authority Chief Operating Officer Nicole Balakos said its final destination "is further south (in) Houston."
The first phase of a multi-million sewage system upgrade in Weirton's north end got under way, Utilities Director A.D. "Butch" Mastrantoni said.
That work, being done by James White Construction inside ArcelorMittal facilities along County Road, involves laying about 4,700 lineal feet of gravity sewer to route sanitary flow from roughly 1,000 structures along Pennsylvania Avenue and nearby neighborhoods up old Main Street to the 5th Street Lift Station, which is on mill property.
Phase II will take the sanitary flow from the lift station through a new 16-inch main to the Freedom Way treatment plant, where it will be properly treated and then released into the Ohio River.
A ceramic mural depicting Trinity Health System's mission in the community was dedicated by Bishop Jeffrey Monforton.
The mural, installed in the Gill Lobby of Trinity Medical Center West, was a gift of the Sisters of St. Francis of Sylvania, Trinity's sponsor organization since 1960. Sister Jane Mary Sorosiak, a member of their community, designed the mural and, with the help of Sister Margaret Hall, made each individual piece.
The mural, which took more than 12 months to complete, measures 25-by-16 feet and was installed on the east wall of the Gill Lobby.
Mingo Junction Council unanimously voted to terminate the contract of Charley Bowman as village administrator on Nov. 27, just seven weeks after he was hired.
Councilman John Bracone, who made the motion to terminate the contract, said Bowman didn't want to work with council and "was going behind our back," while Councilman Jack Brettell complained that Bowman was trying to override everything council wanted to do and had tried to reprimand a village employee without first coming to council.
Bowman, hired Oct. 9, was to have been paid $30,000 a year.
He had been working with Clerk John Angelica to prepare a budget for the village, which Bowman said was facing a fiscal emergency come 2014. Council members said council will work with Angelica to prepare the budget, which will be 40 percent less than the current budget.
School levies didn't fare well in the Nov. 6 general election.
Indian Creek voters turned thumbs down to a 4.95-mill combination levy/bond issue, the second time the measure was rejected. Had it passed, a 3.5-mill bond issue would have generated about $16.3 million for construction of a new district high school and a 1.45-mill, five-year operating levy for district operations.
Voters in the Buckeye Local School District, which includes parts of Jefferson, Harrison and Belmont counties, turned down a 2-mill continuing improvement levy that would have funded basic operations and improvements in the school district, including the purchase of books and buses, building maintenance, equipment, renovations, computers and more. The levy would have raised an estimated $500,000 annually, with no expiration date for it.
Edison Local voters defeated a 9.45-mill operating levy for district operations for the second time, prompting Superintendent Bill Beattie to warn that the cuts they must make "will be much deeper and harsher than in the past."
The Jefferson County Joint Vocational School also faces cuts in staffing as well as spending after voters again said no to the district's request for an additional 1-mill operating levy, the fourth time they've voted it down.
The possibility of a state grant for cleanup of an industrial site in Yorkville was discussed by Jefferson County commissioners in November.
Domenick Mucci, director of the Jefferson County Regional Planning Commission, told commissioners the agency was applying for a $1 million cleanup grant from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency's CleanOhio fund for cleanup of soil contamination at the former RG Steel Co.'s Yorkville plant. Mucci told commissioners although competition for the grant fund was fierce, he believed Ohio Gov. John Kasich's visit to the plant site in October was a good sign for obtaining the grant funds.
Esmark Steel purchased the plant in October, and its plans to reopen an idled cold-rolling mill in Yorkville hinge on obtaining the grant funds for cleanup of the site.
Stratton residents got a close-up look at the newly constructed Veterans Memorial Park during a dedication service attended by hundreds of citizens on Veterans Day. The monument includes five stones in a circle around a flagpole flying the American, Ohio and POW/MIA flags. The monument, situated in front of the village Municipal Building, contains the names of more than 350 war veterans from Stratton, Empire, Goose Run, Port Homer and Sugar Grove.
Hundreds of Toronto residents gathered at the gazebo to celebrate light-up night on Nov. 20 in Toronto.
In addition to lighting the city's Christmas tree, memorial luminaria were distributed, and there were songs and presentation of a $1,803 check to the Salvation Army's home-heating assistance program.
The ceremony was sponsored by the city chamber, and the $1,803 donated to the Salvation Army was the most the chamber ever raised for the project.
Hundreds of Mingo Junction residents gathered on Commercial Avenue on Nov. 26 evening to usher in the holiday season with the lighting of the village Christmas tree. The event included speakers, Christmas carols and a performance by the Indian Creek High School Marching Band.
A computer glitch at the Jefferson County Board of Elections delayed vote tabulations on Nov. 6, but officials with the board of elections said the problem was recognized early in the vote-counting process.
The computer system was unable to combine absentee or early voting tallies with the Election Day results, so the board had to post the totals separately. There was a 66 percent voter turnout in Jefferson County.
The two incumbents won their bid for re-election to the Jefferson County Commission.
Incumbent Commissioner Tom Gentile, a Democrat, was re-elected to a second term in office, defeating Billy Petrella, a non-partisan candidate making his first foray into politics.
Incumbent David Maple, meanwhile, was elected to his third term as commissioner, easily outdistancing his Democratic rival, Robert Steve Vukelic.
Jefferson County commissioners awarded contracts for the Brilliant booster station and water line improvement contract on Nov. 29 even though one of the contracts exceeded the engineer's estimate.
The engineer's estimate for the project was $4.3 million for three separate contracts under the project. The three contracts as bid totalled $3.1 million.
Ohio-West Virginia Excavating of Powhatan Point bid $673,000 for the construction of the booster station building. Fort Steuben Maintenance of Steubenville was awarded the $662,500 contract for electrical work on the booster station building, while Precision Pipeline of Lancaster was awarded the contract for the installation of water lines in the amount of $1,768,078.
Gosbin said construction should start in January, with completion in about nine months.
A new pump house will be built in Brilliant and 24,000 feet of 10-inch water lines will be installed from the pump station to the water tower in New Alexandria. Gosbin said the current pump station was intended to serve 450 customers, but now serves 1,200 customers.
The county also reached an agreement to take over the Smithfield water system, which will be fed with water from the new pump station and water lines. The commissioners have requests from numerous residents in the southern end of the county to tie into the county water system, including the Bradley area outside Smithfield.
A former county coroner's office investigator who stole a credit card from a man killed in an auto accident in 2008 and was sentenced to nine months in prison couldn't convince Jefferson County Common Pleas Judge Joseph Bruzzese Jr. to seal his record.
Bruzzese overruled the motion, filed by David Workman, 57, to prevent anyone but police from seeing his conviction.
Court records indicate Workman took a credit card from the effects of a Richmond motorcyclist killed when a pickup truck went left of center and hit him head-on, then used it to run up a $430 bill at a Weirton strip club.
Workman, who pleaded guilty to theft in office, was fired by then Jefferson County Coroner Dr. John Metcalf when the theft was discovered.
Workman's attorney, Lynsey Lyle-Opalenik, told Bruzzese the offense was Workman's only conviction and said he's having difficulty finding a good job because of his felony record.
Jefferson County Prosecutor Jane Hanlin, however, said the prosecutor's office normally doesn't object to sealing a defendant's record if the person was young and made a youthful mistake, but said the public- particularly a future employer - has a right to know about Workman's offense.
Hanlin said the victim's family spent months getting the charge removed from his credit card.
Aaron M. Hartley, 21, of Wellsburg was sentenced to 20 years in jail after pleading guilty to two counts of first-degree robbery for entering a Hooverson Heights home and striking the elderly couple there in an attempt to rob them in May 2011.
First Judicial Circuit Court Judge Ronald Wilson ordered Hartley to serve 10 years on each count and specified that his attorney not seek a modification of his sentence while the couple was alive and he had served at least the first 10-year sentence and paid $500 restitution for medical bills.
The latter condition was prompted by a request by the couple, both 87, that he not be eligible for parole while they are alive.
Many gathered at Brooke Hills Park for the dedication of the Brooke County Veterans Memorial Park on Veterans Day.
A granite wall erected there bears the names of 186 local veterans who died while serving in military conflicts and 27 who were prisoners of war, as well as 267 pavers on which the names of loved ones were inscribed in exchange for a donation for the $171,000 project.
Keynote speaker was Brooke County Prosecutor David B. Cross, whose father was killed in action during World War II. Also on hand were Marianne Smith, mother of Marine Lance Cpl. Michael J. Smith's Jr., who was killed in Iraq, and Anita Hone of Weirton, mother of Army Sgt. C.J. McClain, who was killed in Afghanistan.
The park includes a monument to Smith, whose death inspired the park; ledgers representing Flanders Field and Arlington Cemetery and a bronze sculpture created by Canadian artist Tim Schmalz.
About 25 Hancock County residents gathered on Nov. 24 at Newell Memorial Field to protest the county board of education's decision not to sell the abandoned field to the Chester Volunteer Fire Department.
The fire department had offered $150,000 - less than the $250,000 minimum bid set for the 4.25-acre property. The board also turned down subsequent offers of $250,000 and $300,000 submitted by the city of Chester on the fire department's behalf.
School officials said the board may sell the field to a public agency, but the fire department under state law doesn't qualify as a public agency.
Hancock County commissioners later purchased it and the Jimmy Carey Stadium in Weirton for $400,000. Commissioners say both properties, no longer needed by the board of education, will be marketed for economic development.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - A long and contentious legislative session drew to a close as lawmakers decided on one key issue Sunday afternoon.
Members of both House and Senate chambers gave final approval for the state's budget and in doing so wrapped up the session on its 99th day.
"It's a good budget. It was a bipartisan vote," House Appropriations Chair Marc Rhoades, a Newton Republican, said.
The House voted first on the $14.3 billion budget, passing it 80 to 35. 72 Republicans and eight Democrats voted "yes."
The Senate followed suit later in the afternoon, with a 22 to 13 vote in favor of the measure. 14 of 32 Republicans and all eight Democrats voted "yes."
"We have [added] $40 million to the base state aid for schools, K-12, in that budget. We've got $8.5 million for the undermarket pay for some of our state workers." and "the House wants a 7.5 percent ending balance," Rhoades said. "That was important to us."
The budget is a compromise spending plan for the fiscal year beginning July 1. It is now headed to Governor Sam Brownback for signature.
The proposed budget is a little more generous than the one proposed by the conservative Republican governor, but trims overall state spending about three percent.
"My feeling was that possibly we should have put more money into education. We roughly put in $60 on the base, but overall the last several years, we've taken out $600 off the base," Representative Bill Feuerborn (Garnett), Ranking Democrat of the House Appropriations Committee, said.
Both Rhoades and Feuerborn say an aggressive tax bill embraced by Brownback limited their ability to steer more funds toward schools and services.
Brownback in a statement said "I will sign a pro-growth tax reform law that reduces the tax burden on hard working Kansans and small business owners. It will leave $1.5 billion in Kansan's pockets during the next two years, create tens of thousands of jobs and make our state the best place in America to start and grow a small business."
Democrats say the bill will only lead to future spending cuts and create massive budget problems.
"It'll devastate our schools, it'll devastate our senior programs," Feuerborn said.
The legislature's research staff forecasts the bill will create a budget shortfall by July 2014.

However, as fascinating as this bustling metropolis can be, Athens isn't the only interesting place to see in this diverse, historic country. Just a few of the other places you'll want to consider when you travel to Greece include:
• Crete -- The largest of the Greek islands, Crete was home to the Minoan civilization and many examples of their art and architecture remain there.
• Mykonos -- One of the Cyclades Islands, Mykonos is known for its many beaches, its white-washed buildings and its relaxed atmosphere.
• Delphi -- The ruins at Delphi, located in south-central Greece, are one of the most important collections of ancient Greek buildings in the country. This is where, according to myth, Apollo communicated to mortals via the oracle.
• Santorini -- Located in the Aegean Sea, Santorini is known for its high cliffs and dramatic sea views. Formed by a volcanic caldera, Santorini is believed by some to be the site of the lost city of Atlantis.Greek is the official language in Greece, although English and other European languages are widely spoken and understood. Road signs and other signs in Greece are written in both the Greek and the Roman alphabet.
The official currency in Greece is the euro. American dollars are also frequently accepted, particularly in tourist areas.

Corbin leaders have taken former Senate President David Williams' name off an exposition center, complaining that he didn't do enough to protect the city in a dispute over revenue from an occupational tax.
City Commissioner Ed Tye said Friday that the decision to delete the Republican's name from the The David L. Williams Southeastern Kentucky Ag & Expo Complex was made before he resigned from the state Senate earlier this month to accept a judicial appointment.
Williams said he was OK with the decision to remove his name because he had discouraged Corbin leaders from putting his name on the building to start with.
Now known as The Corbin Arena, the building has a 5,000-seat concert hall that draws singers and musicians from across the country.

Newbie Question
Hi, i've already followed the steps to create my first app with sencha touch and i got it, i have the folder, the files, and the code, but i want to open that project with sencha architect, but i don't know how to it, whenever i try to open it as a project, the sencha architect looks for a .xd or .xds file, but my recent generated app doesn't have any file with that type. so what i'm i missing?
Thank you for your help
10 Feb 2013 9:39 PM #2
As far as I'm aware, you can't convert existing projects to work with Architect - they must be built with Architect from the start. Here's some sample projects for Architect http://cdn.sencha.io/architect/architect-examples.zip

This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
There are two ways you can control this behaviour in TeXShop: permanently or temporarily.
At the top of each source window there should be a check box called Key Bindings. (If it's not there, you can add it by choosing the Customize Toolbar item from the Window Menu and dragging it to the toolbar.)
If you unclick the checkbox, you can turn off all automatic substitutions temporarily.
If you want to change just the behaviour of the underscore or caret, you can permanently change them by choosing the Key Bindings menu item from the Source menu. This will give you the Key Bindings editor and you can change any key binding you like:

65th Grand National Roadster ShowWritten by on April 25, 2014 Contributors: Kev Elliott Grand Daddy's Showing No Signs of Retirement
Though it may soon be a myth, more than anything for many of us, turning 65 used to signal the grand achievement of retirement. That does not apply to the Grand National Roadster Show, which just this past January celebrated its 65th consecutive year in "show biz."
Now fully settled in its SoCal home base—aka the Fairplex at Pomona—the Grand Daddy of Them All, as it's commonly referred to, has developed a running streak of "themes"... above and beyond the cherished America's Most Beautiful Roadster Award (AMBR), that is. With past showcases, such as the well-received "75th Deuce" and "Customs, Then & Now" under its belt, as well as the "Rod & Custom/Street Rodder Cover Car" exhibit (shameless plug), 2014 was no let down, either. While the art gallery building featured a great assemblage of vintage drag cars—mostly of the Gasser nature, along with a nice array of 1960s VWs—it was the "Bonneville: Century of Speed" exhibition that garnered a hefty amount of spectator attention throughout the weekend. Our images here don't do the total exhibit justice, but at least you'll get a small taste of the historic salt!
And of course, lest we forget the GNRS' main claim to fame: the AMBR competition. Unlike the various surrounding exhibits, and even some of the general display buildings, contention for America's Most Beautiful Roadster honors wasn't quite as heated (unless you count a not-so-funny preshow incident) as in years past. That said, however, the selection of topless vehicles was still top notch. In the end, it was Wes Rydell's unique 1935 Chevy phaeton that took the 2014 AMBR trophy.
From the ever-popular Grand Daddy Drive-In (sponsored in part by Rod & Custom), which crammed the exterior byways between the buildings both Saturday and Sunday with hundreds of cars and trucks, to the Suede Palace, also with its accompanying outdoor side show, the Grand National Roadster Show is anything but showing signs of slowing down at 65. We're looking forward to what next year's event will have to offer.

Our good friend Zane Cullen and crew at NorCal's Cotati Speed Shop just finished up this stunning '36 cabriolet in the nick of time for the GNRS. Watch for full feature coming in the very near future.Richie Valles' "Green Eyes" '59 El Camino was built and painted by Unique Twist, with 'flake on the roof and the topsides of the fins. Bodily virtually stock, why mess with GM's finest factory custom?The Jack Haggeman–built Woody Lee T, in its originality, just casually tucked along the side of one of the buildings, like it was no big deal!Vintage Color Studio's Darrell Hollenbeck absolutely nailed the deepest of black paintjobs atop the De Lay handbuilt body of James Hetfield's aptly namedKeith Tedd's '53 Chevy two-door sedan was entered in the Radical Hardtop class. We like the way the white roof and beltline continue through to the white upholstery.The old art gallery just outside the main building was full of Gas(sers) … literally. From tire-smoking Willys to blown Bugs, the display was rich in quarter-mile history.In much contrast to its name, the Suede Palace has become quite the venue for "shiny" hot rods and customs, like Robert Collins' stylish '35 Dodge coupe.The talk of the show in many ways was without a doubt Lee Pratt's '55 Nomad. Pratt had completed nearly 90 percent of a clone recently when he stumbled across his original online—suffice it to say, his efforts all went into his first love.
Street Rods by Michael built the "Goodwin Speedster" for its namesake owners, Ronnie and Debra Goodwin, with an obvious '50s-60s influence.Another strong runner in AMBR competition was Charlie and Karen Matus' Flathead-powered (earning it the H&H Flatheads Award) '27 T, "The Chocolate Rose."The 2014 AMBR honors were bestowed upon Wes Rydell's '35 Chevrolet phaeton, "Black Bowtie," designed by Chip Foose and collaboratively built by Wes Rydell's Toy Shop and Rad Rides by Troy."MadUSA" was built entirely by the auto shop at Roseville High School in Roseville, MI! Not bad for a bunch of teenagers, huh?Owned by Syclone Motorsports and built by Chip Gerber, the "Gerber Special" employs a Roadster Shop chassis, 358ci Dodge Cup motor, and Jerico four-speed to attain a best speed so far of 217.989 mph.Havasu Speed Equipment owner/operator Dan Van Auken finished "Low Boy" for himself earlier in 2013 (R&C gave it a Fab 5 pick at Scottsdale), bringing the narrowed-nose Deuce out to sunny SoCal to contend for this year's AMBR.Burt Munro's 1967 record-setting SA 1000 run of 183 mph, achieved sardine-crammed within his '20 Indian Scout Streamliner, still stands to this day.
Within the Roy Brizio Street Rods stable of amazing hot rods, we had the most difficult time of walking away from Bruce Canepa's gorgeous, dual-plug Flathead-powered, black-on-black '34 phaeton.Like Streamliners? There were plenty. The Carbonite Metal Coatings A/BGS "rocket" held a huge crowd the entire weekend (we managed to capture this unobstructed shot during setup).

Where would the Marine Museum at Fall River be today without the staunch support and strong sense of caring from a 90-year-old resident of Somerset who was so concerned about the museum's apparent decline that he wrote a letter to the editor of The Herald News to raise public concern about the museum's inactivity and imminent demise?
In 2011, Normand LeComte started off the groundswell of community support that eventually led to the rescue of the failing museum. Always a stalwart supporter and benefactor to the museum, his last gift to his beloved museum in 2013 was a magnificent vintage brass telescope to be added to the museum's collection of navigational instrumentation that were so important to the early sailors and seamen. He was a true believer in citizen participation and active community involvement and is to be thanked for his years of service to this country, this community and its citizenry.
His death is an enormous loss to our community. The passing of Normand LeComte, who lived his life avidly, adventurously and with great regard for serving others, will leave a hole in the fabric of Fall River. Whether skiing or sailing, cleaning or climbing, Norm always led the way.
To his daughters, Helene and Melanie, to the wonderful LeComte family, we send our accolades, our praise and our prayers about a life well lived.

Beautiful and big apartment with decorative furniture and a very nice location with nice view from balcony.
I really enjoyed my stay at this cozy apartment. Andy is so kind and professional. Highly recommended!! The location is not bad because the metro and tram are really close and to go to the city center takes just 10min! I have to say that the apartment was really clean and comfortable. Thanks Andy for this opportunity!
If i back to Prague I will contact you.
Wow, what a fantastic apartment!! My friend and I stayed here for 5 days and could not have asked for better accommodation and location! Andy is great and he provided us with a map, some tips and suggestions of things to do, and advice about using the metro.
We highly recommend this apartment - it has everything you could possibly need, is comfortable and well decorated.
We will definitely be back in the future!!
Hello There,

Mfg. Margitta
Super apartment, ideally located, everything was clean and modern. In just 3 minutes running time you're at the Metro and so in 10 min. You are in the center of Prague. The location is quiet, I would book it again immediately.
Super Wohnung, ideal gelegen, alles sauber und modern. In nur 3 Minuten Laufzeit ist man beim Metro und damit in 10 Min. ist man im Zentrum von Prag. Die Lage ist ruhig, ich würde es sofort wieder buchen.
A really nice host and a very comfortable apartement. We missed nothing and if we will get back to prague, we will come back to this nice location :)
Very good location from the city centre just 9 minuts by metro. Metro is just 3 minuts by foot. The first day Andy received us and he spent all time we needed to explain us everything about the city and the apartment.
I would highly reccomend it!
Extremely friendly host.
Excellent apartment.
Everything you need for a good stay there.
To be repeated
Uiterst vriendelijke gastheer.
Prima appartement.
Alles wat wat je nodig hebt voor een goed verblijf is aanwezig.
Voor herhaling vatbaar
Andrew was a wonderful host. He met us at the train station and took us to his beautiful apartment. He spent more than an hour with us. He explained to us every thing we needed to know. How to use the metro, where to go and gave us very useful information about the local area.
We have no hesitation in recommending this beautiful apartment with a very nice host.
After Bavaria, Prague, the apartment is consistent with the description, clean, well equipped, very well located. Close to shops, metro, tram and city center (few metro stations), once that was parked there the more uses. The neighborhood is quiet. Andrew is charming and helpful. The apartment is on the 4th floor with elevator. Very nice family holiday. Philip Cathy-China-Lou Ann
Après la Bavière , Prague, l'appartement est conforme à la description, propre, bien équipé, très bien situé. Proche des commerces, métro, tram et du centre ville ( quelques stations de métro), une fois que l on a garé la voiture on ne l utilise plus. Le quartier est calme. Andrew est charmant et serviable. L'appartement est au 4 étage avec ascenseur. Séjour très agréable en famille.

just want to know more, where is the reset.css resides? the default MyGwtMavenSampleApp.css is generated by GWT webAppCreator.bat and is placed under MyGwtMavenSampleApp\src\main\webapp\MyGwtMavenSampleApp.css,
but I cannot found where is the reset.css?
Also, is it sure that I can use most of GWT widgets plus some GXT widgets? I am used to using GWT but I find its widget style is quite weak, like its DataGrid, so I want to place some GXT widget in my GWT project, is this the correct way?

The reset.css is automatically compiled into your project - if your compiled JS ends up in a folder called MyProject with a MyProject.nocache.js in there, the reset.css will be in there too.
Yes, GXT and GWT widgets can be mixed and matched, though most GWT widgets are built to be let the page just grow and grow, while most GXT widgets are made to be given sizes by their parents to prevent nested scrollbars. As a result, you may find that some things (the GXT Grid is one) do not behave well if not given a size, either by their parent or explicitly (using setPixelSize).

Tidal Wave or No Tidal Wave?
I wrote about a tidal wave purportedly being caused by the earthquake of 1886 on our Facebook page back on Oct. 22nd as part of the continuing series of posts about local natural disasters in honor of SC Archives Month. However, odds are, with further examination, that the tidal wave mentioned in the Burt Rodgers presentation, simply didn't happen! The Palmetto Post, a newspaper based in Port Royal then, did not mention any tidal wave in its rather extensive reporting on the earthquake, its aftershocks, or the damage caused by same. The newspaper included some colorful tidbits, such as "Weather Prophet Wiggins now claims to have predicted the great earthquake, and the most remarkable thing about it is that he claims that he predicted it before it occurred." (Sept. 16, 1886, p. 2); the vilification of one John Thomson of Charleston for evicting earthquake survivors from his vacant lot; the inadequacy of the Western Union telegraph line in Beaufort; and, phosphate rock cracking at the Coosaw mines, but the newspaper is absolutely mum on the purported tidal wave. I propose that the author of "Reminiscences of Beaufort Storms" had heard the story about the tidal wave throughout his life. He was but a toddler when the Earthquake of 1886 occurred as the preface to his talk indicates. Here is what he wrote: My friends of the Historical Society have taken me for a much older person than I am and have indicated it by asking me to tell something about the earthquake. I was only two years of age at the time -- I was born in 1884 and the earthquake was in 1886. However, I have heard many things pertaining to the earthquake and some of those present know more about what happened than I, and I hope they will correct me or add to what I might say so as to make the record as nearly complete as possible." There is nothing in the written paper to indicate the discussion afterwards so we don't know what transpired. Perhaps the tidal wave story was corrected; perhaps not. Reminiscences can quickly turn into folklore. Folklore has a way of going unquestioned as basic rules of historical research go unobserved. Given the date of the presentation (June 1950) , I doubt that Mr. Rodgers had access to the Palmetto Post issues from August - September 1886 where he could have read newspaper accounts of the earthquake and its aftermath. And, as his title indicates, this was a "Reminiscence," his recollections of what he had heard about the earthquake - not a formal historical study. We have an advantage. We have the Palmetto Post newspaper on microfilm in the Beaufort District Collection Research Room, Beaufort Branch, and Hilton Head Branch Libraries. Why not drop by one of the locations and read the Palmetto Post issues for yourself? Just be sure to keep the rules of historical research in mind: question what is written or conveyed for factual accuracy, bias, and completeness.

The purpose of the National Committee on Foreign Medical Education and Accreditation (NCFMEA) is to review the standards used by foreign countries to accredit medical schools and determine whether those standards are comparable to standards used to accredit medical schools in the United States. The committee's function is specified in section 102(a)(2)(B) of the Higher Education Act, as amended.
The NCFMEA does not review or accredit individual foreign medical schools. If you have questions about individual foreign medical schools, please contact the Office of Federal Student Aid's Foreign Schools Team at email@example.com or (202) 377-3168. The request by a foreign country for review by the NCFMEA is voluntary.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is this type of comparability determination important?
It's important to American students who want to attend a foreign medical school and wish to receive federal student loans to help them with educational expenses. If the NCFMEA determines that a foreign country's accreditation standards for medical schools are comparable, then any accredited medical school in that country is eligible to apply to the U.S. Department of Education to participate in the federal student loan program.
Does the NCFMEA accredit foreign medical schools?
No, the NCFMEA does not review or accredit individual foreign medical schools. The NCFMEA only reviews the standards that a foreign country uses to accredit its medical schools.
Does the U.S. Department of Education accredit foreign medical schools?
No, the U.S. Department of Education does not accredit foreign medical schools. Any accredited medical school in a country that has comparable accreditation standards as determined by the NCFMEA may apply to the Department to participate in the William D. Ford Direct Loan Program (Direct Loans). As part of the application, the school must provide documentation that it has been accredited by the entity in the foreign country that has responsibility for such accreditation. Evidence of accreditation is just one of the eligibility criteria that the foreign medical school must meet in order to participate in the Direct Loan Program.
How do I obtain a list of foreign medical schools that are eligible to participate in Direct Loans?
For information on which foreign medical schools are eligible to participate in the Direct Loans, contact the Foreign Schools Team at the U.S. Department of Education. The Team's phone number is (202) 377-3168 and fax number is (202) 275-3486.
Have the regulations concerning foreign medical schools been developed to implement the recommendations made in the NCFMEA's 2009 Report to Congress and the Secretary of Education?
The final regulations for foreign schools, including foreign medical schools, became effective on July 1, 2011.

Review Procedures
The information below provides a brief overview of the process used by the U.S. Department of Education and the National Committee on Foreign Medical Education and Accreditation (NCFMEA) for reviewing a foreign country's standards for accreditation of its medical schools.
Step 1: Submission of Information
When a country contacts the U.S. Department of Education (Department) and asks to have its accreditation standards reviewed, the Department works with the country to provide a user id and password for its e-Recognition system. The Department requests that the country submit answers to the questions found in the NCFMEA Guidelines regarding the country's accreditation standards and processes and their effective application. Countries must also provide supporting documents (e.g., copies of statute and regulations, standards, examples of site visits, etc.) in English. All submissions must be in English.
Step 2: Staff Analysis
A Department staff member is assigned to review the information and documents. If the submission is insufficient, the Department requests additional information and/or documents. The staff member then prepares an analysis, based on the documentation provided by the country, of the comparability of the country's standards to those used in the United States for accrediting medical schools. A copy of the staff analysis is sent to the country for review and comment.
Step 3: Advance Materials to NCFMEA Members
Approximately two weeks before the NCFMEA meeting, the Department transmits copies of the staff analysis, supporting documentation, and the country's response to the staff analysis (if any) to the NCFMEA members for their review prior to their meeting.
Step 4: NCFMEA Meeting -- Public Session
For each country on the meeting agenda, a Department staff member presents an overview of the analysis of the country's accreditation standards and processes to the Committee members and answers any questions Committee members might have. After the staff presentation, any official representatives of the country are given the opportunity to present information and answer any questions posed by Committee members.
Step 5: NCFMEA Meeting -- Executive Session
After the presentations by Department staff and country representatives (if any), the Committee goes into executive session, which is open to official representative(s) of the country but is closed to members of the public. During this executive session, the Committee discusses the country's accreditation standards and procedures and then makes a determination as to whether the country's system for accrediting medical schools is comparable to the system used in the United States.
Step 6: Secretary's Letters regarding NCFMEA Decisions
The decisions reached by the NCFMEA at its meeting are kept confidential until the U.S. Secretary of Education reviews the decisions and issues official notification to the countries. After the Secretary letters are faxed and mailed to the countries, and the U.S. Department of State is advised of the NCFMEA decisions, those decisions are made available to the public.
Step 7: Implementation of Decisions
An accredited medical school in a country determined to have comparable standards may apply to the Department to participate in Direct Loans. The institution's application and supporting documentation (such as proof of accreditation, financial statements, etc.) are reviewed by the Department's Foreign Schools Team to determine whether the institution meets the regulatory requirements to participate in Direct Loans. If the institution does meet the requirements, it must sign a Program Participation Agreement with the Department. After that agreement is executed, American students who attend that medical school may apply to receive loans under the Direct Loan Program.
Helpful Hints for Countries Applying for Comparability
The following tips are based on the most frequently cited issues by Department staff when conducting comparability determination reviews in preparing their submissions for the NCFMEA. They relate to both the policy and procedures contained within the NCFMEA's Guidelines for Requesting a Comparability Determination and to the review process itself.
Be proactive in communicating with Department staff. Provide them with the requested information in a timely manner. Without it, the review may be postponed until the following meeting or it may otherwise affect the NCFMEA's decision. Remember that countries are responsible for ensuring that all portions of their submissions are in English. Countries should plan on sufficient time to translate their narrative and any documentation associated with their response from their native language into English.
To better demonstrate how your standards are applied effectively, summarize your evaluation procedures, describe your standards, and provide the reports that your site evaluators create to convey the findings of school evaluations. (NCFMEA Guidelines, Part 2, Section 4. Educational Programs, Subsection 4.7 Design, Implementation and Evaluation).
As early as possible in the comparability determination process, clarify the authorized governmental entity to approve medical school operations and designated accrediting body. Promptly communicate any changes in their contact information to the Department staff. (NCFMEA Guidelines, Part I, Entity Responsible for the Accreditation/Approval of Medical Schools)
Document the visitation of all clinical sites, both in the host country and abroad. Ensure there are sufficient resources available for residents at the clinical sites. (NCFMEA Guidelines, Part 2, Section 3. Administration, Subsection 3.4 Remote Sites)

For the legal profession, electronic discovery, social media and the cloud have brought new challenges involving issues such as attorney competence, client communications, storage, search, and production of vast amounts of electronically stored information (ESI).
On Tuesday, October 23, 2012, from 6 – 8 pm, the Rutgers Computer and Technology Law Journal in association with the Rutgers Institute for Professional Education will present "Ethical Issues in E-Discovery, Social Media and the Cloud" at Rutgers School of Law–Newark. Speakers Hon. Ronald J. Hedges (Ret.) and Maura R. Grossman, Esq. will explore some of the complex ethical questions that can arise when attorneys seek to communicate, advertise or investigate facts using these new technologies, and when ESI is collected, searched and used as evidence in litigation.
Pre-registration is required at www.rutgerscle.com. The program will provide 2.0 ethics hours CLE credit (NJ, NY and PA). The registration fee is $75 for those seeking CLE credits and free for attendees not seeking CLE credits.
Former magistrate judge in the U. S. District Court for the District of New Jersey from 1986 to 2007, Judge Hedges is of counsel to Corodemus & Corodemus and principal of Ronald J. Hedges, LLC. He has extensive experience in e-discovery, managing complex litigation, and has served as a special master, arbitrator and mediator.
Grossman, counsel at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, focuses her practice primarily on legal, technical, and strategic issues involving electronic discovery and information management, both domestically and abroad, as well as on matters of legal ethics.

Sofware update says everything is up to date, however Java Preferences says it's running Version 6 Update 29.
The Java website says there is a newer version: Version 6 Update 31 with critical security fixes.
Is there any way I can update this or do I have to sit around and wait for Apple to release this through software update? It is a critical security fix isn't it?
Thanks! :)

I'm designing a gene in DNAWorks, and I'm unable to find a set of conditions that gives an "overall score" of zero (which is what I normally insist on). People that have used DNAWorks: what's the highest nonzero score you've been able to successfully assemble?
You might want to read Gibson's paper on the step-wise assembly of the mouse mitochondrial genome (1):
He started with 60b long oligos with 20b overlap, as he assembled 5 of those 60-mers into a backbone, obtaining 384b fragments. On the next step, he joined 5 of those 384mers, obtaining 1.2kb constructs. You can do the same, but on the second step use 2x 384mers to get you ~600bp gene. Gibson didn't use DNAWorks to chop up the sequence. He just started from base 1, so that his fragments were F1 [1:60], F2[41:100], F3[81:140], etc.
I think that 15b homology is pretty low (Gibson used 20b for assembling the 60mers in the first step, and 40bp homology for the next assemblies). 60b oligo length is standard.
You can also try one step assembly with all of your oligos (via PCA) as you planned, but I think that the two step assembly might be more efficient.
Let me know if you need more help.

text: I was looking at the Tokina 11-17mm zoom fisheye lens for my 40d and came across the 12-24mm Super Wide zoom. I have other uses for a wide lens (other than pano). I notice that most use fisheyes for pano. What are the advantages of using a fisheye, and what are the caveats of using a wide vs a fisheye?
