Heroin use, while rare, has seen a major resurgence among teenagers. One in one hundred have tried the highly addictive narcotic, which is processed from the potent painkiller morphine, the major active component in opium. The bitter dried juice of the Asian poppy plant has been used to relieve pain for centuries. Other narcotic analgesics, like Demerol and methadone, are synthesized in the laboratory.
The heroin sold on the street today bears little resemblance to the heroin that was available in 1980, when the average bag was 4 percent pure. "Now people can buy heroin that is 40 percent pure," says Dr. Schwartz, "or even 66 percent pure." Yet as the quality has risen, prices have gone down, due to increased competition from a number of foreign countries.
That purer heroin could lead to more overdoses is troubling enough. But in addition, it's so strong that users can get high by snorting or smoking the powder instead of having to inject themselves under the skin or in a vein. Because of this, the younger generation doesn't necessarily associate heroin only with strung-out junkies shooting up in a garbage-strewn basement. To them, ingesting the pure powder may seem glamorous, like having a toot of cocaine, and not know how dangerous it really is.
Heroin activates the brain's pleasure center, producing a transcendent high. Users describe feeling a wave of euphoria wash over them. The rush. Then the undertow gently pulls them into an alternately wakeful and drowsy state. With regular use, greater amounts are needed to achieve the same intensity, and physical dependence and addiction develop. Reducing the dosage or quitting "cold turkey" will bring on days of agonizing withdrawal symptoms. Addicts ultimately depend on heroin not to feel good but to avoid feeling bad.
Some, such as codeine, are available by prescription only; heroin is illegal.

coat: H&M | sweater: ASOS | scarf: c/o Banana Republic | pants: Gap | boots: MIA
Thanks for all of your sweet comments last week. Sometimes the ebb and flow of the day to day tends to catch up with me – as I'm sure we can all relate.
This weekend was filled with an abundance of elbow grease, manual labor and mess as we used this weekend as our one major weekend to pack up before we move so we could take full advantage of the next as a holiday to spend as much time as possible with friends and family.
We snuck out early one morning to grab some sustenance before our long day and found this spot that felt very appropriate. Light in the front, black in the back – much like the sweater I had on. Which I must say has become a new favorite, it's so sleek and looks much more luxe than it's pocket-friendly price point.
Paired with a faux fur scarf (you know I love a good snood-like winter weather accessory) and a pop of cobalt, I was cozy and comfy without having to resort to going outside in my pj's.
What are some of those pieces in your closet that you always find yourself reaching for?
Oh, and because we can't ever take this sport too seriously, here's an outtake for ya. My signature "CHEEEEESE" pose.

I need certain user defined functions over and over. I was wondering how can I define and where and how to save them such that each time I start a notebook, these functions are available and need not to be defined again.
Best place is to make a package. But if you do not feel like it, you can put the definitions in the init.m file
using init.m
see http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/ref/file/init.m.html for more information on using
"Possible locations for init.m files include the following:"
When using
Using a package
If you put the definitions in a package, say
or if the package is in one of the standard locations in the Mathematica
whenever you need to use the functions.
To make a simple package, here is a note I wrote here it has more information.
See also this question here at how to install and use a package http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4641512/how-to-install-new-packages-for-mathematica

For advanced packages, you can make a package that will also load automatically when Mathematica starts. These has to go to a special location though, called

I w'd like to know If I can Integrate my other web-sites created to my wordpress multisite using the CMSs like
- Dolphin ( integration discussion )
- Oxwall
- status.net
- sharetronix
- peoplepods
- yetanotherforum
- vidiscript
- Tikiwiki
- shapado (script, inspired by stackoverflow) ( seems to integrate with wordpress.com via OpenID )
These are the Opensource scripts for social networking and micro blogging.I have the websites created with all these scripts for different purposes like social networking and micro blogging .I w'd like to Integrate these websites to my wordpress multi site.So my users need not sign up/sign in for every site and access all of them with single account .
There are some other users of dolphin and shapado who are willing to integrate their site to wordpress .So I have listed all the scripts using for my websites .So this topic may be useful to others who are looking for Integration of the popular Opensource CMSs to wordpress .
Right now we have some SSO plugins which allows us to login using popular logins like facebook,google etc. But these SSO modules are not available for the above mentioned scripts .How ever the direct Integration is always helpful .
Does any body have Idea on this?

Anger Management Renewed....
Posted 30 August 2012 - 06:20 AM
The show has "met and exceeded" what FX expected it to do in order to be renewed apparently.
Hilarious show that I look forward to every week.

Maybe I'm the only one who didn't like it.
In the first episode, there wasn't a single "joke" that wasn't obvious.

In the first episode, there wasn't a single "joke" that wasn't obvious.
Well duh, it is first of all a sitcom which are generally renowned for their obvious and mindless entertainment. Secondly it's Charlie Sheen, just how subtle and nuanced were you really expecting?

I too love the ex-wife character.
For those of you who only watched the pilot, big loss. The pilot is clearly the worst episode, if you had to pick a worst episode.
Posted 30 August 2012 - 04:51 PM
I like the show -- happy to see it will be renewed, but 90 episodes? Wow.
Yeah, 90 kinda blew me away too. At the size of their season that's like 9 years.
I can only imagine that when Charlie and his brother pitched the idea to FX they figured it would be a flop so they said "Yeah, if it does X we'll give you 90" and then laughed. I guess Charlie proved them wrong.

The round figure of 100 episodes is the benchmark for series syndication, and that's the future for episodes that have shown first on FX, said producer Debmar-Mercury, a Lionsgate subsidiary.
''Anger Management'' will go into syndication in September 2014, the company said Wednesday. It's a model that Debmar-Mercury used with the Ice Cube sitcom ''Are We There Yet?'' and on ''Tyler Perry's House of Payne'' and ''Meet the Browns.''

I am doing my undergraduate while doing a full time job. My course is Computer science. I am also working as a software developer in a private company. I have big responsibilities at my work because more than 6 developers are working under me. At the same time I have to finish my undergraduate study. Normally in our university they conduct lectures for 2 weeks for a subject. Lectures are conducted at evenings. After three weeks from the lectures they give assignments. We must submit assignments on-line. Paper exams are conducted after 20-25 days from the date lectures were finished. I can't stop my work because of my responsibilities. I also got my education loan by turned my salary to a local bank. I am struggling to manage my studies now. I have calculated how many hours I spent on my studies for a month. The result I found was that I am able to study only two or three days. I have missed some assignments because I have started those one day before the submission date.
Can anyone please suggest some tips how I can manage my studies? Since I am a software developer, are there any tips related to project management? So I am able to follow them little quickly.
Important things about me
I am a person who doesn't like to memorize things. Actually I can't memorize. I can only study with practical things. I don't get good marks for written exams. Normally I do get good marks for programming assignments.
I am a little bit perfectionist and also have low level of OCD, but I believe that I am in control of my OCD with the help of a doctor.
I normally make to-do lists, but somehow I can't follow them.
I can't do any routine works. I tried to study every day but I always failed. I don't know how to do work routine.
Thanks in advance

- Jonathan Adler's upholstery sale, while not touted as a Presidents' Day sale, ends Monday so it deserves inclusion here. All upholstered furniture, including the Kensington Sofa shown here, is 20% off.

WELLSBURG - Leaders of the Brooke County Veterans Memorial Park Foundation on Saturday recognized local veterans for their service to their country, community members who supported efforts to establish the memorial park and some who fall into both categories.
One who has served both his country and played a key role in making the park a reality is Gene Camilletti of Wellsburg, who was presented the foundation's Brooke County Veteran of the Year award.
An Air Force veteran, Camilletti told the many attending the group's annual dinner-dance at the Wellsburg Banquet Hall of his involvement as part of a grounds crew at Ellsworth Air Force Base in Rapid City, S.D., supporting B-52 bomber missions during the Korean War.

HONORED VETERAN — Gene Camilletti of Wellsburg was recognized as the Brooke County veterans Memorial Park Foundation's Veteran of the Year Saturday during the group's annual dinner-dance. An Air Force veteran, Camilletti provided stateside ground support to B-52s during the Korean War and assisted returning soldiers who sustained severe burns as well as being an active member of the foundation. With him are Howard Armstrong, left, president of the foundation; and Camilletti's son, Gene Jr. -- Warren Scott
"Our job was to keep the guys in the air," Camilletti said prior to the dinner, noting the ground personnel were responsible for ensuring the planes were prepared for flight.
As a medic at the Brooke Army Medical Hospital in San Antonio, Texas, Camilletti saw another side of the war as the facility specialized in the treatment of soldiers who had been severely burned by flamethrowers, bombs and other weapons during the war.
"What I saw of the burn patients was horiffic," he recalled.
Camilletti said he volunteered to take those who were ambulatory outside for fresh air and listened as they spoke of their experiences in Korea or girlfriends back home. He added he regrets that he didn't keep in touch with any of them and he often wonders what became of them when they returned to civilian life.
Before the dinner Camilletti recalled how the hospital also served as a training center for mobile army surgical hospitals, like the one seen on television's "M.A.S.H." He noted the concept originated during the Korean War and helped to save many lives by bringing urgent medical care closer to wounded troops.
Following his discharge as a staff sergeant, Camillietti was a real estate appraiser in the Dayton area for 20 years before applying his skills in the state Tax Department for 22 years.
He said his time in the military taught him discipline and prepared him well for the workplace.
"To this day, I'm very, very proud to be a veteran," Camilletti said.
Gene's son, Gene Jr., said his father has always stressed having "a commitment to God, your family and community and to finishing what you started."
He said his father has often spoke of his pride in the veterans memorial park.
Leaders of the foundation noted Camilletti has been a member of the foundation since it was begun and has served on its board of directors, its fundraising committee and the committee that gathered the names of the fallen local veterans who are memorialized there.
"He just gives it all, no matter what," said Nancy Strope, the fundraising commttee's chair.
Recognition also was given to the Ohio Valley Veterans Memorial Squad which, under the direction of commander Doug Lilly, has been a regular participant in various events held by the foundation while continuing to present military honors at the funerals of many area veterans.
Assisted by Army National Guard Sgt. Dylan Tice and Specialist Deneka Szafran, the group served as color guard and related symbolic meanings in each step of the folding of the U.S. flag.
The group and foundation member Marilyn McCord also displayed military memorabilia, photos and information about local veterans at the dinner.
Serving as guest speaker was 1st Lt. Joseph Booth, commander of West Virginia Army National Guard Aviation Support Facility 2 at the Wheeling-Ohio County Airport.
A native of Wayne County, W.Va., Booth noted his service to the Army and Army National Guard has taken him to many places, including deployment to Afghanistan for Operation Enduring Freedom, to the U.S.' southern border, where he was involved in the arrest of about 1,000 illegal immigrants smuggling more than 50,000 pounds of marijuana; and in helicopter surveillance operations uncovering marijuana cultivation in West Virginia.
Booth said the nation's military couldn't serve their country in the way they do without the support of their families, and he thanked his wife, Jenny, for her support.
He added he's always been impressed by the flexibility and versatility of America's military personnel, as demonstrated by their ability to learn and apply a variety of skills to various assignments and missions.
Booth said such dedication is vital to preserving America's freedoms.
Howard Armstrong, the foundation's president, commented on the completion last fall of the park, which overlooks the paddle boat pond at Brooke Hills Park.
"I have just three simple but powerful words: We did it," he said, noting the park was nine years in the making and was without obstacles or naysayers.
Armstrong acknowledged its many supporters, including Strope and the fundraising committee, the Brooke Hills Park board, Ernie Stucin and Charles "Poke" Beall, foundation members who oversaw its construction; Walter, Brian and Jason Ferguson, who volunteered their services as electricians; and the many who donated money for the park.
"It truly was a countywide effort, and I can't thank Brooke County enough," he said.
Paul "Bud" Billiard, the group's publicity coordinator and master of ceremonies for the dinner, announced the park will host its first Memorial Day service this year. Strope said the group also plans to hold two fundraisers each year for the park's continued maintenance.

Not only did Ian have the opportunity to attend the ceremony and witness this historical military tradition, but he also stood with the incoming commander, Lt. Col. James Lander, saluting Soldiers and formations as they marched by for pass in review, a long-standing tradition which allows incoming and newly assigned commanders to review their troops.
"The Make-A-Wish Foundation matched us with the right people at the right time," said Ian's father, Jason Field. "Ian has got to experience things in the Army that most people, even Soldiers, will never experience in their life."
Ian became linked with the battalion about two years ago through the Make-A-Wish Foundation and, since then, the family and the Black Lions have strengthened their relationship and bond, continuing to make Ian's dreams come true. Ian suffers from Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a debilitating genetic illness found in approximately one in every 3,600 male children.
"He chose to meet us. Being in the Army is what we do every day. He could have used his wish and choose anything, but he chose to be a Soldier," 1st Sgt. Brandon McGuire, a senior leader in the Black Lions said. "It's humbling and it brings a bigger sense of pride to what we do."
In April 2011, Ian visited the battalion for two days, experiencing 20 years of Army life in just 48 hours. A ceremony was held and Ian "enlisted" in the Army. Ian shot a variety of weapons, fired a Howitzer, preformed first aid, rappelled down a wall, rode in a Humvee through a simulated battle and spent a night in the barracks.
Over the two days Ian was living his Army dream, McGuire was his assigned "battle buddy." The two did everything together, building a bond that is strong and alive today.
"This means a lot, the relationship continues to grow, the Soldiers embrace Ian every time is here," Jason Field said.
At the change of command ceremony, Ian, his Family and McGuire got to experience every detail. From the cannon firing to kick off the ceremony to the symbolic passing of the guidon, the group was able to take in all the activities on the field.
"After Ian's first visit, I've stayed in touch with Ian and his Family. We thought this would be a great event for him to come join our battalion and be involved in the ceremony," McGuire said.
As the pass in review was under way, it was Ian's prestigious moment. McGuire escorted him to the center of the field where he prepared to assist Lander in his duties. Ian was honored with the right to review the troops with the battalion's new commander. Alongside Lander, Ian saluted every formation that marched by, including the Commanding Generals Mounted Color Guard and the 1st Inf. Div. Band.
"Ian is a great kid," McGuire said. "We plan on continuing this relationship with him and his Family and including them in our battalion."
As the ceremony came to an end, it was clear that the Black Lions have Ian in their hearts.
"Although this was only our second visit, we will continue to come and visit the Soldiers of this battalion," Jason Field said. "The Black Lions and the Fort Riley community have become like Family and supported us in many ways. We look forward to furthering our relationship with them and continuing to make Ian's dreams come true."

I've used Dreamweaver (albeit CS3 so I am a few versions back), but I am disappointed with the amount of invalid markup it produces. Are there other WYSIWYG editors out there that produce valid markup?
If you want control over your code use the code view in Dreamweaver or just a plain text editor like Notepad++ on Windows, Textmate on Mac or Vim on *nix. The problem with WYSIWYG is that you don't have full control over the code you produce, allthough you are free too clean up afterwards offcourse.
Coda from the guys at Panic is a really nice Mac product. You write the markup yourself and therefore retain complete control as you would with TextMate, Notepad2, etc. But there is also a live preview you can see in a split screen so you can tell immediately what affect you are having on the page. It's a nice "best of both worlds" solution.
A related question here: HTML Validation: Is It Worth It?. I bring this up since you mentioned you're upset with the invalid markup. Markup semantics are more important than markup validity in my opinion, and generally this can only be done properly by a human – especially with all the new elements presented by HTML5.
Jeffery Zeldman recently posted an article about this very subject: An InDesign for HTML and CSS. Inspired by talk from certain people at Adobe, he posits that no WYSIWYG editor can create meaningful and semantic markup anymore than a computer program can compose meaningful and emotional music.
If you choose to stick with Dreamweaver and use its code view (which is what I used for quite a while, it's very good) you should consider upgrading to CS5. Adobe, given all the Flash hate, has gone to great lengths to improve the quality of the code that it generates. They have also created the HTML5 Pack.
This extension provides initial support for HTML5 and CSS3 in Adobe Dreamweaver CS5, and helps you easily create HTML5 pages and CSS3 styles. It also includes updates and WebKit improvements for Design View and Live View rendering.
Dreamweaver has been around much longer than most of its competitors, and is a solid program, and if you choose to stick with using the WYSIWYG editor you won't get much better out of any other apps.
I've used by jEdit and Eclipse because they worked into the rest of my development workflow well. jEdit's syntax highlighting, and ability to recognize a wide variety of text formats is very nice for quick review the strange things I tend have come my way.
I agree with others who have mentioned avoiding WYSIWYG editors. DW's latest versions do generate acceptable code most of the time, but when I use it I spend 95% of my time in the code view anyway.
I use Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2010 Express (free, including for commercial use) :)


text: Now that you finally have a lesson on Edgar Allan Poe, it is now time to submit another lesson on a character from Hotel Transylvania. It's plain to see who this big guy is because he has a huge head, prominent brows, and a great big smile. He is a monster that is going to have a secondary role as being one of the many monsters from lore. Here is "how to draw Frank from Hotel Transylvania", step by step. Frankenstein is going to be voiced by Kevin James and to me, he is has the perfect voice for the character design and role of Frank. As of right now there is not much to say about Frank's role and what type of personality he will have. All I can do for sure is teach you the ropes to drawing Frank which is going to be simple and fun to do. I know you will have a blast just because the character is based on the legendary Frankenstein.

This is a new problem I'm facing in 13.04, and is not related to what worked for 12.10 or earlier.
In 12.10, I had the
acpi_backlight=vendor in my grub in order to make the brightness setting work. However, this does not work on 13.04. I don't even see a brightness bar.
To change that, I tried
acpi_osi= and the brightness bar appeared in the system settings. Moving it doesn't change the brightness, but using my hotkeys does.
Since Ubuntu doesn't remember the brightness settings between boots, I had a script that would adjust it during startup. Now, even that doesn't seem to work. Only my hotkeys work at the moment.
Laptop information:
- Model: Acer Aspire E1-571
- Processor: Intel® Core™ i3-3110M CPU @ 2.40GHz × 4
- Graphics: Intel® Ivybridge Mobile
- OS type: 64bits
Things I've tried
acpi_osi=using this makes my hotkeys work, but the brightness slider doesn't work

This is a multivariable calculus problem from a past prelim exam. I have an answer for this written up (posted below), but it seemed rather time-intensive. If there is a slicker way to approach this problem, I'd appreciate seeing it. Thanks!
Recall that for a smooth function $f: \mathbb{R}^3 \to \mathbb{R}$, the Laplacian of $f$ is defined by $$ \Delta f = \nabla \cdot ( \nabla f). $$
Suppose that $f: \mathbb{R}^3 \to \mathbb{R}$ is a smooth function satisfying $f(\vec{x}) = 1/\|\vec{x}\|$ for $\|\vec{x}\| \geq 1$.
Verify that $\Delta f(\vec{x}) = 0$ for $\|\vec{x}\| \geq 1$.
Compute $\int_{\mathbb{R}^3} \Delta f \, dV$.

Minecraft Gift Code Generator – Premium Account
To celebrate our recovery, which could be temporary, we're releasing a very special account generator, Minecraft Gift Code Generator today. It will allow you to play Minecraft for free. Regardless, we will continue providing high quality releases to our Hacking Edge community. We believe innovation is a key to our success.
We would like to introduce our new GUI theme. We have designed from scratch – a new theme, codename Edge.Genesis, for all upcoming and future releases. We know a lot of our members are tired of the default Visual Basic program look. The theme will be slowly pushed out to our older programs including the login system.
It has been a while since we actually posted news or releases, but we are seriously hard at work as you can see with the new theme. Programs don't get made with a click of a button especially with our small coding team. We also decided it made more sense to spend more time with between each release instead of rushing it. Based on our observation we have better response this way. Without any delay, we're here to introduce Minecraft Gift Code Generator.
Minecraft Gift Code Generator
It isn't what we call a generator at Hacking Edge, but it seems to be the proper name based on what people are calling it. The program is more of a premium account converter. It seems wrong to call it an account creator since it doesn't make the account for you, only converting the account to Premium. There is no need of any Minecraft gift codes, the program will convert your account to a Premium account.
In short, this program purchases a Premium code at no cost and converts your account for you. You can think of it as a Minecraft Premium Account Generator also. We decided to not to show users the Premium code generated to prevent this method from being patched. Most of the functions in this program is handled through one of our servers. You can be sure you are safe from account closures, bans, or even IP-address bans.
Watch the video below for instructions on using our software. Don't forget to click full screen and HD for the best quality and visibility.
- After gaining authorization, log into the program. A program shown in the screenshot above will appear.
- The next step is to register a regular account on Minecraft website created with our Minecraft Gift Code Generator. The direct link to account creation can be found here.
- After registering an account, input the username into the text box.
- Next step is to convert the newly made account by clicking Convert. It can take anywhere from 1-3 minutes when converting the account depending on our server load. You will now be a Minecraft Premium user. You can generate unlimited amount of Minecraft Premium accounts.
Minecraft Premium Accounts
Minecraft is one of the greatest games of all time, so enjoy the game with free Minecraft gift codes It is probably the first Java based game that gotten really popular. The core element of the game is creating and building. Players get to build 3D objects with the use of cubes which have been textured.
It also has various additional items and features. The basic game play draws a lot of inspiration from the older game, Infiniminer. The Beta version of the game is constantly undergoing changes and improvements. These changes are meant to make the game more enjoyable for the player. The popularity continues to grow patch after patch. You can start playing Minecraft Beta with our premium account hack.
The game is all about construction. Players can move freely anywhere in the world. However, the various items and objects can only be put in some positions. The player is able to use the blocks and place them somewhere where they will create different constructions. There are options for single player and for multiple players. You can generate working Premium accounts with Minecraft Gift Code Generator to play multiplayer on official Minecraft servers with Minecraft gift code.
The player is placed on a huge world at the beginning of the game. The player then walks across the mountains, caves, slopes and other terrain. In acquiring resources and crafting of various important items the game is played. The player is however, limited when it comes to the number of items he can carry at once because the game has limited inventory system. The game has daytime and nighttime both of which have different characteristics and events. The daytime is dangerous and the nighttime even more dangerous. The player has to make sure his health bar is not depleted due to the various attacks he may face. If attacks harm your health, you could get replenished by eating particular foods, etc. If the player dies, his inventory is dropped and he is taken back to the start.
We will be updating the theme for our login system for all of our programs after this release, Minecraft Gift Code Generator.

I want to know that How can I hack XP's password with out using cracker software?
Simple technique used for hacking XP administrator
you know, we russians have a tried-and-true method, thermorectal cryptoanalisys. This method is simple - someone who knows the password is tied up to the chair and has something long and very hot being pushed inside his rectum. works like a charm, usually the password is cracked within 2-3 minutes.

This question exists because it has historical significance, but it is not considered a good, on-topic question for this site, so please do not use it as evidence that you can ask similar questions here. This question and its answers are frozen and cannot be changed. More info: help center.
Avoid fancy coding. The more complicated the code, the more likely there's bugs. Usually on modern systems, clearly written code will be fast and small enough.
Use available libraries. The easiest way to not have bugs writing a utility routine is to not write it.
Learn a few formal techniques for the more complicated stuff. If there's complicated conditions, nail them down with pen and paper. Ideally, know some proof techniques. If I can prove code correct, it's almost always good except for big, dumb, obvious bugs that are easy to fix. Obviously, this only goes so far, but sometimes you can formally reason about small but complicated things.
For existing code, learn how to refactor: how to make small changes in the code, often using an automated tool, that make the code more readable without changing the behavior.
Don't do anything too quickly. Taking a little time up front to do things right, to check what you've done, and to think about what you're doing can pay off big time later.
Once you've written the code, use what you've got to make it good. Unit tests are great. You can often write tests ahead of time, which can be great feedback (if done consistently, this is test-driven development). Compile with warning options, and pay attention to the warnings.
Get somebody else to look at the code. Formal code reviews are good, but they may not be at a convenient time. Pull requests, or similar if your scm doesn't support them allow for asynchronous reviews. Buddy checking can be a less formal review. Pair programming ensures two pairs of eyes look at everything.
Unit Tests let you reduce the number of bugs that pop up a second time. If you find a bug in your code, writing a unit test will make sure it doesn't come back up later. (Plus, thinking of all the cases and writing thousands of unit tests up front is hard to get done sometimes)
+1 on both of the unit test comments.
Beyond that, set the highest warning level your compiler offers, and make sure warnings are treated as errors. Bugs often hide in those "erroneous" errors.
Similarly, invest in static analysis tools that run at compile time (I view these as an extra level of compiler warnings).
In addition to what's been mentioned:
Lots of other things I'm forgetting at the moment, but the others will surely think of them. :)
I've developed a fairly functional style of programming, despite my primary languages being C++ and Python. I found that if I pass all of the context to a function (or method) that that function needs to do its job, and return the meaningful data that I'm looking for, that my code has become much more robust.
Implicit state is the enemy and in my experience is the #1 source of bugs. This state can be global variables or member variables, but if results are dependent on something that's not passed to the function you're asking for trouble. Clearly it is not feasible to eliminate state, but minimizing it has huge positive effects on program reliability.
I also like to tell my coworkers that every branch (if, for, while, ?:) is a likely bug. I can't say what the manifestation of the bug will be, but the less conditional behavior your code has, the more likely it is to be bug free simply due to the fact that the code coverage during execution will be more consistent.
Go figure, all of these things also have positive effects on performance too. Win!
A little less technical answer: don't program when you are tired (9h/day are enough), drunk or 'baked'. When I'm tired I don't have the required patience to write clean code.
Write unit tests and integration tests.
Some great answers here regarding unit testing and tools. The only thing I can add to them is this:
Involve your testers as early as you can
If you have a test team, don't fall into the trap of treating them as the gatekeepers for your code quality and catching your defects for you. Instead, work with them and involve them as early as possible (on agile projects this will be from the project's beginning, but we can always find ways to involve them earlier if we really try).
Having a good working relationship with your testers means that you can catch poor assumptions and defects really early on, before they can do any damage. It also means that the testers feel empowered to help with the product design and catch usability issues when there is time to fix them.
Static Analysis Tools
Plugins and apps like FindBugs crawl your code and find places where there are potential bugs. Places where variables aren't initialized and used or just crazy things that 9 times out of 10, make it way easier for bugs to arise. Tools like this help me prevent my bonehead moves down the road even if it's not a bug yet.
P.S.: Remember to always research why a tool tells you something is bad. Never hurts to learn (and not everything is right in all situations).
Code inspection or other forms of peer review such as pair programming.
Structured code reviews such as Fagan inspection can be at least as effective and efficient as unit testing and has even proved to be better than unit testing in some cases. Inspections can also be used earlier in the software lifecycle and with artifacts other than code.
Peer Reviews in Software by Karl Wiegers is a great book on this subject.
In addition to all of the other suggestions here, turn on all possible warnings to the highest level of sensitivity, and treat them as errors. Also use any linting tools the language has.
You would be amazed at how many simple mistakes can be caught by warnings and how many of those simple things translate into real bugs in your code.
A lot of good answers here, but a few things I wanted to add. Make sure you actually understand the requirement. I've seen lots of bugs when the user thought the requirement meant X and the programmer thought it meant Y. Push back for clarification on poor or ambiguous requirements. I know we all like to jump in and code but the more time spent up front ensuring understanding, the less rework and bug fixing there will be.
Get to know the business you are supporting, you will often see things in requirements that are missing or need further explanation then. Know that if you do task Y as stated, it will break existing feature Z.
Understand your database structure. Many many bugs are as a result of a query that is syntactically correct, but returns the wrong results. Learn how to recognize when your results look funny. If I am writing a complex reporting query, I always get a technical specialist to review my results before I mark it as ready to go, they will inevitably see something in the data I missed. Then make notes to yourself what they caught that you didn't and remember that the next time you do something simliar.
I think the most important technique is take your time. If you feel you need two days to code a new module, but you boss force you to code only in one day... your code will be probable more buggy.
One of the books I read some time ago, said that you shouldn't live with broken windows, because people won't care if anotherone gets broken... Coding is the same, everyone will care about being the first in doing something bad but fast, but none will care about one hell code, with lots of bugs, and very poor design and style.
I follow the practice of Test-Code-Test instead of Code-test-code-test. This helps me to think of use-cases and appropriately frame the logic
Use code inspection tools like ReSharper or IDEs like IntelliJ IDEA that warn about many copy-and-paste bugs and others by e.g. pointing out variables that "are written to, but never read". Has saved me a lot of time.
Surprisingly, the following three very important points have not been mentioned yet:

"It's Pilates on the Bike"
By Michael Ferrante
The Spinning program, with its roots firmly planted in road cycling, sound fitness and health principles, and safe practices on-the-bike, continues to suffer from reckless teaching modifications from some instructors. These instructors apparently believe that the fundamentals of the Spinning program are not sufficient enough to produce exhilarating, beneficial and pleasing rides for their students. Consider the following:
The Spinning Fundamentals Make Sense
As a member of Mad Dogg's team of international Master Instructors, and a sounding board for my fellow instructors at Healthworks Fitness Centers for Women in the greater Boston area, I often have to defend the reasoning behind sticking with the core Spinning hand positions and movements. Recently, I was asked my
opinion on allowing riders to ride in "aero" (time trial or triathlon) position on the Spinner; and hovering, a practice that encourages riders to lift out of the
saddle and push way back to the rear of the bike while pedaling.
Avoiding these two contraindicated movements actually offers instructors an opportunity to promote the exceptional depth of the Spinning program when it comes to sound safety and cycling principles. Riding a Spinner bike in aerodynamic position is biomechanically inefficient. The geometry, or dimensions of the Spinner,
actually mirrors the geometry of real road bikes not triathlon or time trial frames. Hence, riding a Spinner with arms out stretched/elbows resting on the
handlebars puts added strain on a rider's lower back and also restricts pedal stroke power because knee alignment over the spindle of the pedal is moved forward. With hovering, by lifting off the saddle, moving the hips back and stretching the upper body, the knee alignment over the pedal spindle is moved back and this can lead to knee, back and shoulder injuries.
Mixing Methods Makes a Mess
Additionally, I recently had a phone call from a local health club manager seeking advice on how to cope with a Spinning instructor who had riders squat while pedaling in standing flat position. When confronted the instructor defended this practice by saying – no joke here – "It's Pilates on the bike." Huh?
My response to this scenario is one I've used scores of times when fielding questions on mixing one or more fitness methods while actually riding a Spinner. As
instructors, follow this simple guideline: Any movement or practice that you would not execute outside on a
road bike should not be brought into the Spinning program.
This holds true for squats and any work on the Spinner with free weights, bands, tubing or weighted bars. This messy mix of fitness training techniques creates an unsafe Spinning experience. A rider's hands, for example, should only be used for gripping the handlebars for stability, adjusting bike resistance, using the brake pad mechanism or for drinking water and toweling off. Additionally, weight training requires solid footing to help stabilize the body and this footing cannot be found while pedaling a bike.
The Chemistry of Spinning
With all the tools the Spinning program offers – varied terrain and terrain combinations; gear/resistance changes; practical cadence parameters;
guidance on heart rate, perceived exertion and profile design – there's no shortage of ways for instructors to be creative, inspiring mentors in health and fitness. Factor in the element of music and instructors have all the pieces
to create the right chemistry that makes the Spinning program the ultimate indoor cycling choice.

If the universe is compact then there is a twin paradox that is resolvable only by selecting a preferred inertial reference frame (arXiv). I was under the impression that the lack of a preferred inertial reference frame was an empirical result (e.g. from early experiments designed to measure Earth's movement against the aether).
But if I've understood these first points correctly then we should not still be entertaining the notion of a compact universe at all, as in the top voted answer to this question.
So: Is a compact universe theory still viable? If so, what might account for the lack of evidence supporting a preferred inertial reference frame (or is there actually now evidence of a preferred frame)?

The Nets Need a New Jay
It appears the Brooklyn Nets and Jay-Z are steering toward a breakup. Yahoo Sports reported the other day that the musician/mogul Jay-Z, aka Shawn Carter, is in the process of divesting his small stake in the Nets in order to be permitted to expand his nascent sports-representation business to the NBA. Jay-Z would like to represent basketball players. He can't do that while owning a piece of an NBA club. The situation's getting grouchy: On Thursday Jay-Z released a new song called "Open Letter" in which he appeared to take a veiled shot at an unnamed "dweeb" in the Nets organization. ("Dweeb!" How cute!)
It's a bummer for the Nets. Jay-Z delivered a great deal to a team he reportedly owned just a tiny fraction of—ESPN valued his stake at roughly $350,000. Carter was essential to upgrading the franchise as it migrated from New Jersey to Brooklyn. Think about how dreary the Nets were as a brand. Jay-Z offered instant glamour to a team that was about as glamorous as a tuna sandwich left in the trunk. As the Barclays Center took shape, Carter got involved in the thick of the planning; a story last year in the Journal described him managing details as small as the forks used in the arena's luxury suites. (Jay-Z liked heavy forks.) His fingerprints remain everywhere. As you enter the arena's VIP center, an escalator takes you to the 40/40 Club, a lounge/restaurant designed by Jay-Z. On the outside is a Rocawear store, selling fashions by Jay-Z's fashion brand. Carter was said to be involved in the club's clean black-and-white uniform design, and even lobbied for the team's unusual herringbone court.
In lieu of a Nets face, he became the face. The Nets were an un-starry team with an absentee Russian owner, and Jay-Z was clearly the biggest name associated with the club—far bigger than Deron Williams, Brook Lopez and all of their teammates combined. When the Barclays opened, Carter christened its rusted steel with a string of sold-out concerts that felt less like an unveiling than a homecoming. Jay-Z was Brooklyn, born and raised, and his improbable story of dealer-to-superstar offered a credibility the Nets could not buy. He made the Nets cool by extension. When he came to games, Carter took a courtside seat near the Brooklyn team bench, not hovering in the huddle but making it clear by geography he was an influential man. Sometimes he brought his wife, who I believe is also in the music business.
Now he's breaking away. Now it sounds a little adversarial. Jay-Z will surely come to more games at Atlantic and Flatbush—in "Open Letter" he said he'd keep his seat—but no longer as an investor. With Creative Artists Agency, he and his management company Roc Nation are getting into sports agenting; a couple of weeks back, the partnership made a splash by signing the soon-to-be free agent Yankee Robinson Cano. Basketball is apparently next. Agenting is a contentious and often unglamorous business. Still, it's hard to bet against Carter, 43, who has repeatedly shown a talent for moving seamlessly between his artistic and entrepreneurial sides.
But now there is a job opening. The Nets need a new star, a new face, a new partner to keep the celebrity magic alive.
I would like to volunteer myself.
No more Jay-Z. Jay-G.
Please don't laugh. I'm entirely serious. I may not offer the big name or the thrill or the millions of albums sold, but I can offer…OK I am not exactly sure what I can offer. I am not cool. I am not a celebrity. I've never made a record. I've never sold out arenas. I don't collaborate with Kanye or Coldplay or Rihanna. I drive my own car. It has a dirty coffee cup in the center console that's been there I believe since 2009.
But here's the case: I live not far from the arena. I don't need a parking space. I can ride my bike. I don't need to sit courtside. I'll settle for something in the 200 level. No need for Champagne or VIP access. Just give me a couple of squares of Spumoni Gardens. I don't care about forks. I'll eat with my hands. I don't need the VIP entrance. I can rumble in with the hoi polloi.
I am not sure I can come up with the $350,000. The Honda has a bunch of dents in the left side and they're rusting and need to be taken care of. We have a new baby at home and we're trying to save for college. Private school looks like a stretch. I hear fancy kindergarten in New York costs a billion dollars. Would the Nets settle for $3,500? I can sell my old baseball cards and my vintage Eddy Merckx bike. I will lay off the Netflix.
I will bring interesting guests. Maybe not the kind of people you see on the covers of magazines. The kind of people who take the train. Sam, my editor. He's funny. Dominic from Long Island. Omar, the guy who runs the copy shop around the corner from my house. Omar is a Bulls fan. OK Omar can't come.
This is a limited-time offer. The Nets should take it while they can. This is the ground floor of something great. Who knows the celebrity I can become? Who says I can't conquer show business? Who says I won't sell a million albums? Who says I won't tour with Justin Timberlake? I still have time. And I won't leave to become a sports agent. That's a promise. All that counting! I am terrible at math.

Rudy Eugene, the "Miami Zombie," was not high on bath salts when he attacked 65-year-old Ronald Poppo and chewed off 75 percent of his face on May 26, the medical examiner found last week.
After marijuana was the only drug in Eugene's body experts are investigating what drove him to carry out the horrifying attack with some speculating that it could have been a cannabis-induced psychosis.
The 31-year-old was once diagnosed with schizophrenia after a misdemeanor arrest, reported Local10. A history of mental illness coupled with marijuana is now being considered as a possible cause of the frenzied attack along the MacArthur Causeway.
It is not known if Eugene was treated for schizophrenia when diagnosed.

I have drawn a lattice in latex with tikz, successfully compiled it to a pdf and been able to include it in my document. However, the whole PDF (i.e. A4 page) is included and I only want to include the lattice I have drawn.
Is it possible to automatically only include that lattice and not all the "blank space" around it? (I know "crop" is an option, but if I want to change the lattice so that it changes size, it will be a bother to update the crop coordinates all the time.)

Artist Spotlight: Cobi Moules
Driven by the desire for adventure and discovery, Cobi Moules set out across America not only to explore the country's natural beauty and diversity but also to reflect upon his position within it. Moules's study of the grand American landscape quickly conjures up images and iconography from a variety of historical landscape paintings, most notably mid-19th-century American landscape paintings.
Loosely utilizing the Hudson River School as a visual point of departure, Moules metaphorically utilizes the landscape as a stand-in for his own Christian upbringing. "Bois Just Wanna Have Fun" is a synthesis of wanderlust and raison d'être, where he creates a fantasy world in which only he exists.
Moules says, "I see a number of ideological links between their [Hudson River School] works and a specific current American Christian culture that was an integral part of my formative years; particularly in regards to ideas of purity and the honor of sacrificing one's selfhood for the glory of God. As a queer and transgender person, I seek to renegotiate my relationship with this upbringing and the act of being told I am 'unnatural' through such a pointed Christian lens."

There is probably no politician in Washington harder to figure out - and thus more interesting to watch - than Virginia's Jim Webb.
The nation just got another lesson in the curious story of this member of the Senate, who, even though he's only been in office just shy of three years now, is the state's "senior senator."
Rick Howell should stop listening to Rush Limbaugh. Judging from the tone of his frequent references to Limbaugh in The Liberal Agenda, Limbaugh's radio program obviously raises Mr. Howell's blood pressure to dangerous levels. Like me, Mr. Howell is over 50, and it's really risky for guys our age to get that upset. He's liable to give himself a heart attack.
You've got to hand it to Tom Perriello — he came to Bedford and faced the "angry mob."
While some congressmen have been backing down, canceling town hall meetings and running from any confrontation with those opposed to the current health care proposals being considered, the Fifth District Congressman kept his word and showed up here Saturday to address a crowd of about 300, many who weren't his supporters.
Not seeing the woods for the trees
Last week, I held six "Tom in Your Town" events around the 5th District to hear my constituents' questions and opinions about how we can solve the healthcare crisis in this country. Many people, including myself, worried that we were moving too quickly and spending too much to fix the problem, so I insisted that Congress spend the month of August sharing accurate information with the American people and listening to everyone's concerns and hopes.

Southern Line Tourist Route: A beautiful day trip around the Peninsula
Simon's Town. Photo courtesy ifijay
Imagine a train ride around the gorgeous Mother City. The sun is shining, the skies are blue and you're free to hop on or off at any stop all the way from Cape Town to Simon's Town to visit any of your favourite tourist attractions… sound fantastic? Well, stop dreaming, because with the Southern Line Tourist Route, it's possible!
On Tuesday June 14, I had the privilege of enjoying a trip aboard the stylish Southern Line coach to experience this fantastic ride along the ocean-side. Boarding at the Cape Town station, I received a steaming cup of coffee and the morning papers to kick off the luxurious day trip.
With stops at Observatory, Newlands, Muizenberg, Kalk Bay and Fish Hoek along the way before reaching the final destination, Simon's Town, there were plenty of interesting places to visit.
For those so inclined, there was stargazing at the South African Astronomical Observatory and an opportunity to indulge in some fresh bread at the Josephine Mill in Newlands. Surfers could catch the big waves at Fish Hoek Beach and art lovers could visit the Kalk Bay Modern art gallery.
I stayed on board, taking in the breathtaking sights along the way until we alighted at Simon's Town station. In this charming seaside town, there are plenty of cultural sights, great restaurants and shopping spots to enjoy.
Most fascinating to me was the Simon's Town Museum. Housed in Cape Town's first Governor's winter residence, Simon van der Stel (after whom the town is named), the museum is home to exhibits of the cultural history of the townspeople and their connection to the Royal Navy of the town.
When you've absorbed all you can about the history of this picturesque little place, head downstairs to the basement of the museum and take a look at the hidden jail cells (in one of its many incarnations over the years, the house was a jail). Eerie and with just a hint of the dangerous criminals that were once ensconced in those cells, the basement is a potent reminder of an era gone by.
Whether you're broadening your mind with history at the museum, sailing the seven seas aboard a charted boat around the bay or doing some well-deserved retail therapy, you're sure to work up quite an appetite.
Luckily for you, there are fantastic restaurants in town to satisfy your hunger pangs. One such delicious spot is the Quarterdeck Restaurant. It overlooks Simon's Bay, offering you an unparalleled view of the harbour and excellent service from friendly staff. Their seafood platter is to die for, as is their super-sweet waffle and ice cream.
The Southern Rail Tourism Route is more than worth the R30 ticket price for a one-day trip or R50 for a two-day trip. Valid between 08h30 and 16h00, tickets are available from any of the participating stations.
Hop on board the Southern Line Tourism Route today and experience your city like you've never done before.

U.K. Accused of Spying at G-20 Summits
Turkey, South Africa Particularly Targeted in Alleged Spying
LONDON—Turkey and South Africa are demanding an explanation from the U.K. government following allegations that British intelligence services spied on politicians and officials attending international summits in London at the height of the financial crisis.
The Guardian newspaper, citing documents leaked by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden, reported Monday the British intelligence agency GCHQ, or the government communications headquarters, monitored computers and intercepted phone calls of delegates attending two meetings of the Group of 20 industrial and developing nations in April and September 2009.
Some delegates were also reported to have been tricked into using Internet cafes that had been set up by British intelligence agencies to read their email traffic. GCHQ is the intelligence agency in charge of electronic surveillance in the U.K.
Two countries—Turkey and South Africa—were particularly targeted in the alleged spying, the newspaper said.
Turkey's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the allegations were alarming and summoned the U.K.'s ambassador in Ankara for an explanation.
"If there is even the slightest truth to any of these claims contained in this news report, this will evidently constitute a scandal primarily for the country concerned," the ministry said. "In an environment where mutual trust, respect and transparency should be essential for international cooperation, such act by an allied country would clearly be deemed unacceptable, should the news report turn out to be true."
South Africa's Department of International Relations and Cooperation said it noted the allegations with concern and urged the U.K. government to investigate the matter fully.
"We do not yet have the full benefit of details reported on but in principle we would condemn the abuse of privacy and basic human rights particularly if it emanates from those who claim to be democrats," the department said.
The story comes at a sensitive time for the U.K. government, which is hosting world leaders attending the two-day summit of the Group of Eight leading nations in Northern Ireland. The new revelations also raise further questions about the surveillance apparatus operated by GCHQ and its U.S. counterpart, the NSA.
The scope and scale of the surveillance has been under scrutiny since Mr. Snowden, who has taken refuge in Hong Kong, leaked a series of documents that point to the existence of broader surveillance operations than had previously been understood.
U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron, who is in Northern Ireland at the G-8 summit, declined to comment on the latest allegations.
"I don't make comments on security or intelligence issues; that would be breaking something that no government has previously done," he said.
A spokesman for GCHQ also declined to comment.
GCHQ is alleged to have used an email-interception program and key-logging software to monitor delegates' computer use at the specially designed Internet cafes; penetrated the security on delegates' BlackBerrys to monitor their email messages and phone calls; and supplied 45 analysts with a live summary of who was phoning whom at the summits.
The Guardian said GCHQ also received reports of NSA's attempt to eavesdrop on the Russian leader, Dmitry Medvedev, as his phone calls passed through satellite links to Moscow.
Sergei Devyatov, head of Russia's Federal Protective Service, or FSO, which guards Russia's top officials, told the Interfax news agency that the service "takes all necessary measures and provides a proper level of information privacy for the country's top officials." He said that protecting the confidentiality of Russian government leaders is the "direct task of the FSO, which it carries out in accordance with active laws."
A Twitter feed belonging to Alexei Pushkov, head of the Russian Parliament's international relations committee, weighed in on the accusation Monday. "Scandal!" one tweet said. "In 2009 at the G-20, U.S. and English intelligence services tapped the phone conversations of Medvedev. The U.S. denies but cannot be trusted. Total deception."
The documents leaked by Mr. Snowden suggest the operation was sanctioned at a senior level in the government of former Prime Minister Gordon Brown and that the intelligence was passed on to senior lawmakers in the government, the newspaper said, adding that the purpose of the spying appeared to have been to give the U.K. an advantage in meetings.
Last week, U.K. Foreign Secretary William Hague said allegations that GCHQ worked with its U.S. counterparts to unlawfully garner information on British citizens were baseless.
"Our agencies practice and uphold U.K. law at all times, even when dealing with information from outside the United Kingdom," he said.
Mr. Hague said GCHQ staff conduct themselves with the highest levels of integrity and legal compliance, and the agency had one of the strongest systems of checks and balances and democratic accountability for secret intelligence anywhere in the world.
Under U.K. law GCHQ and other intelligence agencies must seek authorization for their operations.

Contrary to recent trends, it was TFC celebrating some late-game heroics in a 2-2 draw versus Dallas on Saturday.TORONTO -- It was a strange reversal of fortune on Saturday at BMO Field, as Toronto FC fought back from a two-goal deficit to earn a late draw with visiting FC Dallas.
For much of the previous couple of seasons, the late game heroics came from the opposing teams, as TFC forged a well-earned reputation as a side that would inevitably drop points in the dying stages of matches.
Not so on Saturday, however.
Spurred on by an 84th-minute goal by Justin Braun to cut Dallas' lead in half, the Reds pressed for an equalizer to salvage what had looked like a lost match only moments before. And after a dominant five minute spell that included a couple of penalty shouts and a superb reflex save by FCD goalkeeper Raul Fernandez, Toronto finally broke through courtesy a 90th-minute wonder strike by right back Darel Russell.
It completed an improbable comeback by a TFC team that has shown signs of fight that has been woefully absent in previous years.
"Delighted to come back and show a second half effort like that," Toronto head coach Ryan Nelsen said after the game. "But frustrated in the fact that it took us adversity to get the character out and get the personality out. We've got to learn to show that from the start and show that for 90 minutes."
Indeed, TFC was lifeless for much of the first hour, as Dallas enjoyed most of the possession and made the Reds pay with a goal on either side of halftime. It was only after the game appeared out of hand that Toronto came to life, no doubt energized by the insertion of second half substitutes Braun and Luis Silva.
The two attackers changed the dynamic of the match and helped TFC achieve its second consecutive 2-2 draw against upper echelon Western Conference opposition.
"I think the questions were answered tonight about the character and the determination of the team against a very good Dallas team," Nelsen said.
For their part, TFC's players echoed their coach's sentiments. The mood in Toronto's locker room was one of both relief and frustration, as the team continues to try to shed the albatross of last year's nightmare campaign.
"Another good step forward in [the] way that last year we would have probably lost the game 3-0," Toronto captain Darren O'Dea said. "It's positive, but I've said it before, it's easy to take the shackles off and play football when you're 2-0 down, there's no pressure."
O'Dea had been critical of his own team at the end of last season, and while he was disappointed that the side waited until it was in a hole to show its fighting spirit, he still felt that the game was a learning experience.
"That game was there, it was there waiting for someone to win it and we need to be braver," he said. "But certainly it's a point gained after the start we had."

In order to receive federal student aid, students must make satisfactory academic progress toward a degree. As required by federal regulations effective July 1, 2011, All KCTCS College have amended their SAP Policy.
In an effort to ensure program integrity at higher education institutions, the U.S. government approved new legislation which changed SAP requirements. Effective July 1, 2011, colleges and universities across the nation must update their SAP policies to comply with federal regulation.
Back to top
Students can view their SAP status at Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy page.
Students can view their attempted hours, earned hours, and cumulative GPA on their Unofficial Transcript.
To calculate their completion rate (67% Rule), students can divide their cumulative earned hours by their cumulative attempted hours. For example, an undergraduate student with 50 earned hours and 100 attempted hours would have a completion rate of 50% (50 divided by 100 = 0.50). Because the student's completion rate falls below 67%, the student would not meet the completion rate (67% Rule) requirement.
A student's entire (cumulative) academic history is reviewed. This includes transfer credits from other colleges.
Dropping a course or withdrawing from all of your courses after the end of the 100 percent refund period will result in a W grade on the student's transcript for that term. This will negatively affect the student's completion rate (67% Rule). Students are always encouraged to speak with both an Academic Advisor and the Office of Financial Aid prior to dropping a course or withdrawing from all their classes.
Yes. A student's SAP status at any KCTCS college will transfer to any other school. Students who do not meet one KCTCS college SAP requirements are ineligible for federal student aid all KCTCS colleges.
KCTCS Academic Bankruptcy policy does not remove courses from the student's permanent financial aid records. Federal regulations do not recognize academic forgiveness programs. Therefore, the student's entire academic history (everything on the student's permanent financial aid record) will be evaluated to ensure the student has met SAP requirements.
The "Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeals Committee". The college Financial Aid Offices coordinates all transactions between the College SAP Appeals Committee and students. The individual college Financial Offices, College Financial Aid Directors or Financial aid staff members DO NOT evaluate nor determine SAP appeal outcome.
Students who successfully appeal an Unsatisfactory SAP status will be assigned a Financial Aid Probation SAP status with certain conditions as stipulated in an "ACADEMIC PLAN/CONTRACT". Once the contract is accepted, s/he can receive financial aid for only one additional term. After that one term has ended and grades have posted, the Office of Financial Aid will re-evaluate the student's academic plan and determine if the student has met SAP requirements as identified in the student's academic plan.
For example, a student with extenuating circumstances successfully appeals his/her Unsatisfactory SAP status with the College SAP Appeals Committee at the end of Fall term. As a result, the Office of Financial Aid changes the student's SAP status to Financial Aid Probation and awards federal student aid for next (Spring) term only. At the end when the Spring grades have posted, the Office of Financial Aid will re-evaluate the student's academic plan/contract to determine if SAP requirements have now been met or where met according to the student's academic plan/contract. Federal student aid for the student next term will not be awarded or disbursed until the student has successfully completed all terms specified within the academic plan/contract for the term or the Office of Financial Aid has re-evaluated the student's academic history, and the student is found to have met SAP requirements.
Students with an Unsatisfactory SAP status, "SUSPEND" are ineligible for federal student aid at any KCTCS college. Students will remain ineligible for federal student aid unless they successfully appeal or until their academic record is once again in compliance with the SAP Policy. Students who are ineligible for federal student aid may continue to attend any KCTCS college at their own expense and being liable for all educational costs.

A mentally ill Wichita man was sentenced to 17 years and four months in prison for killing a woman he considered his grandmother.
Twenty-four-year-old Marrell Tisdale, a paranoid schizophrenic, was sentenced Friday for killing 69-year-old Gertrude Lott in February 2011. Prosecutors say Tisdale thought killing Lott would give him the strength to kill himself. He had a self-inflicted cut on his neck when police found him.
The Wichita Eagle reports (http://bit.ly/VzPujK ) Tisdale pleaded guilty in September to second-degree murder in Lott's death and aggravated battery for attacking his mother with a meat cleaver the same day. The mother was not seriously injured.
District Judge Eric Commer said a Larned State Hospital psychiatrist indicated Tisdale's mental health issues could be managed in prison.
