The annual kickoff to Nebraska City's Arbor Day celebration Friday will feature progeny cherry trees from those Japan presented to the United States a century ago.
The tree seedlings will be distributed to students at the children's program at Arbor Lodge State Park on Friday.
Adam Howard, nursery operations manager at Arbor Day Farm, said he and Randy Fox, park superintendent, decided to present the trees to the community through the children's program this year.
They come to Nebraska City through a unique partnership with the famous Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, D.C., which celebrated last year the 100-year anniversary of Japan's gift of cherry trees.
In 1912, the mayor of Tokyo gave the United States 3,000 cherry trees, which later prompted the festival.
The Japanese gift included 12 varieties of cherry trees, including the Yamazukura and Edonigan.
To mark the 100th anniversary last year, Japan gave the United States additional trees and 30,000 seeds from the progeny of the original Yamazukura trees given in 1912.
The festival organizers did not have the ability to "grow out" the seeds, so the National Arbor Day Foundation agreed to take on the project.
Howard said the seeds produced seedlings beginning last summer and most were distributed last fall.
Arbor Day Farm had about 1,000 seedlings left over inspiring the idea to give them away to children on Arbor Day.
Howard said the seedlings are of the Yamazukura variety. Although they do not produce a cherry, the tree is known for its spectacular foilage and beautiful spring blossoms.
The standard of Midwest cherry production is the Montmorency variety, a sturdy tree that produces a sour fruit.
Other producers include the balaton and north star.A cherry tree from the 100th anniversary of the Japanese cherry trees in Washington, D.C., will also be planted at 1 p.m. on Friday, April 26, at Morton House Assisted Living.

WHEELING - Locally produced natural gas could eventually be on its way to the proposed Odebrecht ethane cracker in Wood County, as Antero Resources has agreed to provide about half the ethane that would be used to run the facility planned outside Parkersburg.
The agreement announced Wednesday calls for Antero Resources - which leases natural gas acreage in Wetzel, Tyler, Belmont, Monroe and Harrison counties as well as elsewhere in East Ohio, north central West Virginia and southwestern Pennsylvania - to provide 30,000 barrels of ethane per day to the planned Ascent facility.
Although officials with Brazilian petrochemical giants Odebrecht and Braskem announced plans for the project in November, construction of the Wood County cracker plant is not yet a done deal. Ascent closed on its $10.9 million purchase of the SABIC Innovative Plastics plant, set to close by mid-2015, but the company continues to conduct feasibility studies before making a final decision on whether to build.
But West Virginia leaders - who have long coveted an ethane cracker plant, which they say would bring hundreds of permanent jobs and thousands of temporary construction jobs - called Wednesday's announcement "a major step forward."
"By utilizing the ethane produced here at home, we can revitalize our manufacturing industry for decades to come, bringing thousands of new jobs and billions of dollars in investments to the Mountain State," said Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin.
According to Denver-based Antero, the company's ethane would be used by the Ascent facility to produce polyethylene, a key component in plastics production.
"Today's announcement highlights one of the important benefits of shale gas production and demonstrates Antero's commitment to the growth of downstream manufacturing in the Appalachian region," said Antero CEO Paul Rady. "We are excited to work with our partners at Odebrecht and Braskem to help position Ascent as a catalyst for regional economic development."
Antero leases a combined 460,000 acres in the liquids-rich Marcellus and Utica shale natural gas formations. The company currently operates 15 drilling rigs in West Virginia and five in East Ohio.

Is there an upward force on a object at rest? If yes, where does it come from?
Yes, it's called the normal force. It comes from the rigidity of the stuff separating the object from the center of gravitational attraction, i.e. the rigidity of the rocks, dirt, floor, table, etc. If you'd like, you could think of this stuff as behaving like a spring with a huge spring constant.
Any first-year physics textbook will cover this; there's a very incomplete list of books in another question.
It is all electrostatics. The electrons on the outer shells of the atoms of the object don't want to be anywhere near the electrons of the atoms on the resting surface providing a repelling force which increases with proximity. When this force balances with gravity you have reached "equilibrium". In fact, everything is somewhat fluid as the atoms move and vibrate nothing is really static. But on a macroscopic scale it is unnoticeable.
The upward force on an object at rest is called the Normal force and is always perpendicular to the surface. If you recall from Newton's Third law, "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction."
So an example is a block sitting on a table. The block is exerting a force DOWN on the table from the gravitational force, its weight. By Newton's Third law, there is an equal an opposite reaction due to this downward force. The block is "pushing" down on the table, so the table must also push UP on the block. This pushing from the table is the normal force. If this force were not present, the block would accelerate right through the table due to Newton's Second Law.
Lennard-Jones potential is a big answer to the confusion
The force is a spacial deriviative of the energy, F = dE/dr. So, positive derivative, where plot goes up you get attractive force, and where it goes down you will have repulsion. You see that there is a huge reuplsion between atoms when the distance between them, r, is very small. So, they cannot be pulled very closely. As gravity pulls book to the molecules of table, they repel very strongly. Atoms tend to stay at distance $r_m$, producing molecular structures. Please note that the repulisve force appears at distances smaller than distance between molecules. So, you do not feel it normally, when keep your book is above the table. The reaction force is zero at that distance.
You can make it visible at visible distances, though, by chaining zillions of atoms in one chain. Then, when you compress the chain by 1 mm, the distance between atoms varies by fraction of $r_m$. You get into the parabolic potential well $r_m$. You call such setup a spring. You expand it - you see that atoms attract. You contract it -- and see that they repel.

What is reference for complex irreducible representations of Hecke algebra of finite Coxeter groups (say generic case q =1)? I am interested in knowing its Wedderburn decomposition. So want explicit information regarding the number of irreducible representations (and parameterization, if any) with their multiplicities. I looked at Kazhdan-Lusztig's paper but not able to get required information.
For example: In case of symmetric group $S_n$, these representations are parametrized by all partitions of $n$ with multiplicities equal to number of standard tableaux.

District attorney cracks down on drugged driving
Conflict lies in illegal narcotics versus elderly on prescription medication
By Shane Cohn 01/03/2013
District Attorney Greg Totten announced last week that for the second year in a row, his office was awarded more than a quarter of a million dollars in grant money to continue a more aggressive approach to DUI prevention and prosecution.
The $320,000 grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety will fund what is called the "Drug and Alcohol DUI Vertical Prosecution Team." Along with two full-time deputy district attorneys devoted solely to prevention and prosecution of impaired drivers, there will be more training and education for law enforcement and district attorneys about driving under the influence of prescription and illegal drugs.
"Part of the way the grant is focused is to really increase enforcement of people driving under influence of drugs, both prescription and illegal drugs," said Deputy District Attorney Stacy Ratner. "We're really trying to make a push in that area. We've filed a lot more of those cases and taken more to trial and been very successful in those cases."
Ratner said there were 3,714 single count DUI cases filed in the district attorney's office from Oct.1, 2011 to Sept. 30, 2012. Eighty-eight cases were drug-only DUIs, which Ratner said is the most ever filed, due in large part to the grant money. The drug-only cases yielded a 90 percent conviction rate, she said.
"Before, officers weren't well-trained in this area and there were cases going on with drivers appearing to be driving recklessly or unsafely, but there was no detection of alcohol and not doing anything about those people," she said, adding that local law enforcement agencies have also been awarded grant money for DUI prevention and education.
But Ventura DUI lawyer Darryl Genis is calling the district attorney's new tactical focus on drugged driving a politically and financially driven war on elderly drivers.
"They're not looking exclusively for amphetamine, methamphetamine and marijuana anymore," said Genis. "They're looking to get grandpa or grandma for taking the drugs they are supposed to take. Pack a room full of drivers 50 years old and over, and most of them will say they take a handful of prescriptions. This new era we're entering into with all the special funding is a war on those people."
Because of the grant money award, the district attorney's office will now have a financial incentive to produce results, explained Genis. He said it would be highly unlikely to ever see the amount of DUIs issued decrease on a yearly basis because, "There is tremendous money in it."
A DUI conviction can cost substantially more than $10,000 in fines, fees, DUI classes, court probation and other expenses.
"It's hard to imagine the DA going after drivers more aggressively than they already have, since they have been engaged in a reign of terror on Ventura County drivers for over 35 years with their no-plea-bargain posture with DUIs," said Genis, "but from what I have seen, there is a movement in all prosecuting agencies [toward drug-only DUIs]."
Genis added that many people drive with drugs in their systems. In some cases, a person may be prescribed a drug for attention deficit disorder that makes him or her less impaired, or more focused. But that person will now be more likely prosecuted for a DUI charge if a law enforcement officer determines that person was driving recklessly.
In California, 23 percent of drivers in fatal crashes have tested positive for drug involvement, according the district attorney's office. The news release from Totten's office said that legal entitlement to use a prescription drug is not a defense, nor is there any requirement of proving a .08 percent blood alcohol concentration.
A Ventura County DUI crackdown by law enforcement agencies from Dec.14 to 27 resulted in 106 arrests for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

What is known about compressing graphs? Here, with "compressing", I mean something like "putting a graph into a zip program"; or with a more technical expression, what is know about the Kolmogorov complexity of a graph? Does it make sense to define something in this line at all? I guess one needs a binary string, first of all. Is there then a way to get a binary string from a graph in some unequivocal way, without having to deal with labeling issues, permutations, etc.?
Li and Vitányi in their standard textbook on Kolmogorov complexity (3rd edition, p.456) observe
This is made more precise in Section 6.4. In particular, they show that the number of distinct isomorphism classes of undirected graphs with $n$ vertices asymptotically approaches $2^\binom{n}{2}/n!$, with only a small error.
By Stirling's approximation, the Kolmogorov complexity of undirected graphs with $n$ vertices can then be seen to be close to $n(n-1)/2 + c$ bits. For undirected graphs the adjacency matrix is symmetric and has 0's on the diagonal, so one only needs to store the $n(n-1)/2$ bits above the diagonal.
This makes more precise the claim made in another answer, that the adjacency matrix representation is optimal. (Note that close in this argument may still be an unbounded function of $n$; see also Lemma 6.4.6 and the comment after it.)
Each graph can be uniquelly represented as an adjacency matrix. This is simply an nxn matrix of values 0,1. Each graph can therefore be expressed uniquely as a string of length n^2 by sequentially concatenating each line. Graphs with cycles and directed graphs are also uniquely represented.
From this representation and from kolmogorov complexity certain statements become evident.
(1) For any other representation of graphs, there exists a constant c such that the conditional kolgomorov complexity on this representation saves at most c bits from the kolmogorov complexity from adjacency matrix.
(2) Sparse graphs are highly compressible (adjacency matrix of sparse graph contain a lot of zeroes versus very few ones)
(3) if all you care about is about equivalency classes between graphs.
Graph compression algorithms are starting to be used in biological applications (e.g. Itzkovitz, et al. Coarse-graining and self-dissimilarity of complex networks; L. Peshkin, Structure induction by lossless graph compression; M. Hayashida and T. Akutsu Comparing biological networks via graph compression). Unlike the pure mathematical side, the networks involved are not the whole class of (non-isomorphic) (un)labelled graphs.
Motivated by string compression, these algorithms can detect frequently occurring induced subgraphs. Recently, the related topic of network motifs (small connected subgraphs that occur as an induced subgraph significantly more frequently than in randomized networks) has received an explosion of interest. It is hoped that graph compression algorithms can provide insight into network motifs (and other small induced sugraphs, or "graphlets"), and thus provide insight into the (biological) network as a whole.
While searching for a definition of chromatic entropy, I found a link that might prove helpful to you:
Entropy, Orbits, and Spectra of Graphs by A. Mowshowitz and V. Mitsou.
In particular, they summarize results that study complexity of graphs by characterizing it in terms of entropy, information content of graphs, etc.
it depends on whether the graphs you want to compress have any particular repeated "structure" in the sense of something that can be recognized by an algorithm or if they are random (you dont specify-- suggest you edit question or specify this in comments for better feedback). if the graphs are random, compression is not possible just as theory predicts that "most strings are random".
"random" graphs here can be roughly defined as a graph such that half of all the possible edges are distributed randomly. sparse graphs can be "compressed" in the sense that if you store only the edges that are present thats an improvement over storing a list of all edges with '1' or '0' for edge present or absent). nobody so far has suggested the somewhat obvious strategy for dense graphs of storing the inverse and then compressing that.
any possible existing data compression algorithm can be used on graphs by converting the graph into a string using some conversion algorithm (ie 1-1 mapping between strings and graphs) and various conversion algorithms vs. the graph structure would affect how much the graph can be compressed.
the question is also very much related to the question, "what are different ways/data structures to store graphs, esp those that take into acct repeated structures in the graph".
this question is closely related to a field called graph complexity in computational complexity theory. there are many compression algorithms possible, any standard one from computer science will suffice.
however one fairly natural graph compression algorithm is to represent them via circuits (DAGs). in this way circuits can be used to construct more complex graphs out of simpler "basic" graphs. there are some foremost problems (eg in complexity class separations) expressible in this area/framework. for example NP$\stackrel{?}{\subset}$P/poly is open, is a stronger conjecture than P$\neq$NP (because its the nonuniform version vs uniform case where Kolmogorov complexity is more associated with uniform circuits), and can be expressed as a lower bound associated with building graphs out of stars using monotone circuits (AND/OR operations only on edge sets).

Compared to cast iron, for example, certain alloys of aluminum have both strength and weight advantages. How can aluminum be so strong while being so light?
ONE thing which makes Aluminum better than steel in SOME applications is its higher Strength/Weight ratio. A big contributor to this better ratio is the much lower density of Aluminum
There are some classes of aluminum alloys which are stronger than steel alloys, but, in general, aluminum is actually a bit weaker than steel.
However, aluminum is MUCH lighter (less dense) than steel: $2.8g/cm^3$ for Al as opposed to $7.8g/cm^3$ for steel, making Al a clear winner in the strength/weight arena.
The lower density of Al is due to its lower atomic weight.

COLUMBUS - After two days at the OHSAA Individual Wrestling State Tournament at Ohio State University, Steubenville Big Red senior Greg Moray has himself one step away from greatness.
On the strength of a 25-second pin of Greenfield McClain's Brandon Davis in the quarterfinals, and a 12-2 major decision over Hamilton Ross' Frank Heimkreiter in the semifinals, Moray (37-0) reached today's 220-pound final against Wauseon's Zane Krall (41-3). Krall made it to the final with an 11-0 major decision over Sandusky Perkins' Kordell Chaney. The state championship matches are scheduled to start at 5:45 p.m.
"He (Krall) was in the other half of the bracket last year, and he and Greg lost to the same kid," said Big Red head coach Mike Blackburn. "He's pretty talented. We watched hi a little today. He's an active 220-pounder. What really stood out is he looked like he was pretty good on top.

STATE?PLACER — Steubenville Big Red's Tariq Wilson made it throught the consolation bracket and will stand on the podium in the 106-pound weight class at the OHSAA Individual Wrestling State Tournament. Wilson can finish as high as third-place, but no worse than sixth.
"Greg will definitely have to wrestle a good match."
Moray opened the tournament with a 15-6 major decision over Conneaut's Billy Post on Thursday.
"I think he controlled all three matches this weekend," said Blackburn. "He definitely wrestled pretty well. Any time you make the state finals you're doing something right.
"He wrestled the Post kid from Conneaut and won. He came back and is going to place. Greg really got ready for his second match and ended up winning with fall in 25 seconds.
"In state semifinals, as a coach, you're hoping for something easier. He wrestled his best match this year against that kid and came away with a major decision."
Also assuring himself of a spot on the podium is Big Red freshman Tariq Wilson at 106 pounds.
Wilson (48-6) came back from a disappointing 24-7 tech fall loss to St. Paris Graham Local's Eli Stickley to down Mogadore Field's Cory Simpson 6-3, and keep hopes for a third-place finish alive. He faces Milan Edison's Evan Cheek in the consolation semifinals today at 10 a.m. A win over Cheek puts Wilson in the third-place match, a loss sees him wrestle for fifth. Those matches are scheduled for 11 a.m.
"Its hard for anybody to come out to the lights at the state tournament," said Blackburn. "He's wrestled very well. Even in his loss he had him cradled and on his back in the first round.
"It was not how we wanted to or could of wrestled, but he got his head on right and came back to place. He's wrestled tough.
"We just know Evan Cheek is highly ranked. We saw some of him last year. Anyone who is a state placer, especially at 106 which is stacked this year, is a good wrestler."
Anthony Craig (34-5) at 126 pounds and Anthony Parada (39-10) at 132 pounds of Big Red were eliminated during Friday's action.
"When you have a couple seniors lose 3-1 (Craig) and 1-0 (Parada) is hard," said Blackburn. "You want everyone who makes it to place. We're wrestling OK and we thought we'd have more kids place, but that's why you wrestle.
"Every one at the state tournament is good too. There's been a lot of upsets this year."
Big Red sits at eighth-place overall going into today's matches.

Well, you have the consensus of the guys on here....And I really don't think you are actually asking for advice....I think that if you are asking this question, you already know the answer...and you just need some support for what you are thinking!Remember, a house divided will not stand. You don't have to agree on everything....but How a person stands politically really does govern his/her life decisions...It is so imperative that a couple works as a TEAM and be of one mind. In the end, it could cost a person his life...Best of luck to you sir, because no matter what decision you make here....stay or not stay with her, the decision will cause you some pain...you have to decide to what degree of pain you are willing to withstand.Remember Arnold and Maria!

10 Things Christians and Atheists Can (And Must) Agree On
The war that's coming between the fundamentalist Christians and the hard-core Atheists probably won't be the most violent of the holy wars. But it has the potential to be the most annoying. We'll, I'm going to try to stop it.
So I'm running into this guy basically everywhere I go:
Not that exact guy. People like him. I recognize the type, I had to spend the whole first half of my life around the Christian version of those guys, people who worked it into every conversation. But now I'm running into these really aggressive, sort of evangelical atheists. Ever since 9/11/2001, in fact. The exact day a whole lot of atheists decided this religion thing had to go before it killed us all.
These things never end well.
But I think we've got more common ground than we admit. For instance, both my atheist and Christian friends (I seem to have an equal number of both these days) tell me they agree with the following statement:
Celebrating the death of somebody you disagreed with pretty much makes you a dick.
I doubt anybody reading this has ever waved a snarky sign at a funeral, so I think we're pretty much all in the same boat still. See? Common ground.
So how about this: I'm going to throw out a few of these statements - things I think we have to agree on if we want to avoid disaster - and you can read until you see something you disagree with. We'll see how long we can make it last.
Why? Because something's brewing. I wander around my local Barnes & Noble and they've got a whole special table set aside:
I go home, log into one of my favorite forums and one guy's got this as his avatar:
And another dude has this:
So I retreat to my own forums, and find out turbo evangelist Jerry Falwell had died that day. The reaction?
I mean, that thing I said I said earlier about not celebrating the death of somebody you disagree with... that still counts for a bitter, uncompromising old fart like Falwell, right? We're civilized people. We can celebrate him changing his mind, or even celebrate him being made to look like a fool in public.
But you start cheering his death, you've walked away from the one single baseline every remotely moral person has ever agreed on: the value of human life. And I know we all agree on that, because we can all think of people we could've otherwise stabbed and gotten away with it.
And sure, there may be a few of my atheists out there saying that what Falwell was spewing was so hateful, that it surely inspired some murders (of homosexuals or abortion doctors or whatever) and that he thus deserved death on those grounds.
But you don't want to live by that rule; you'll wind up in a world where gangsta rappers and video game programmers and political commentators and novelists are considered worthy of death just because some fans claimed their work inspired them to kill. That's the sort of thing a nut from the other side would say. Right?
No, people got to have the right to express themselves, good, bad and ugly. Falwell had a family. Friends. He was a human being. You cheer over his corpse and you're just acting like a pecker.
And that's another thing both sides agree on, that we hate this modern trend toward peckerfication. So let's see what else we agree on...
(NOTE: Per international regulations governing all online religious debate, we are required to insert on each page humorous and inflammatory image macros such as the one below. To prove my objectivity, these have been carefully chosen as to be equally offensive to all belief systems. -MGMT )
1. You Can Do Terrible Things in the Name of Either One
We're putting aside the question of which belief system has killed more people by percentage of population, or whether a hypothetical world without religion would have seen fewer or more genocides than ours. We're not going to open a spreadsheet and try to count which belief system manufactures more murderous sociopaths per capita.
All I need from you is agreement that it's entirely possible for either an atheist or theist world to devolve into a screaming murder festival. The religious leader sends his people into battle because he thinks God commanded it, the Stalins and Maos of the world do the same because they see their people as nothing more than meaty fuel to be ground up to feed the machinery of The State. In both cases, the people are equally dead.
Yeah, yeah, I know the Christians are saying that the guy who fights an unjust or needless war is violating God's law, and thus isn't a good Christian. Meanwhile, the atheists are saying that Stalin was merely bloodthirsty, separate and apart from his disbelief in a higher power. Both believe, then, that it is a corruption of their belief system that allows unjust slaughter to happen.
But for this project, All we need to agree on is this: it happens in both cases. And if the opposing belief system vanished tomorrow, war and bloodshed and terror would still take place.
And can we further admit it's actually physically impossible to calculate whether, if your side had its way, the volume of terrible things happening would go up, or down, or stay the same? I know you have an opinion on that, and I can guess what it is. But we don't know, and can't state it like it's fact. Right?
Everybody still on board?
Good. Can we now also agree...
2. Both Sides Really Do Believe What They're Saying
Christians do this thing that drives atheists nuts, where they talk like God is patently obvious to all mankind, and that atheism is therefore just petty, intentional rebellion against Christians. In other words, that atheists don't honestly believe what they say, and just say it because they're jerks.
But atheists do something very similar, particularly when a Christian says:
"Only the saved go to Heaven!"
...and what the atheist hears is:
"I want everyone else to go to Hell!"
It's the same thing, thinking that deep down Christians don't really believe this is the law handed down by a creator, and therefore Christianity is just a petty, intentional rebellion against the non-Christians of the world. In other words, that Christians don't honestly believe what they say, and just say it because they're jerks.
But all that is just a way to make cartoon villains out of the people who disagree with us. And if we stop and think about it, we'll see it's asinine.
Atheists, you know that Christians have freaking died because they refused to walk away from what they believe. That goes beyond simple human stubbornness. I mean, I can tell you first hand. I was raised in a Pentecostal church (like the one they visited in the Borat movie).
I soured on the whole religion thing in my teens, as you can probably imagine, and then came back to it later kind of on my own terms. From that experience I can relay this fact: If there's no God, then there is something in the human brain that can and does present an amazingly realistic impression of one. A gland, an artifact of environmental pattern recognition, whatever you want to pin it on, the result is, at certain times and in certain moods, as tangible and real and distinct as the person sitting across from you on the subway.
You can say they're wrong. You can say it all day, you can etch "YOU'RE WRONG" into the surface of the moon with a giant laser. But you'll have a lot less angst if you remember that the thing they're wrong about is something they honestly believe, down to their roots. I guess you could just call them crazy, but it's a little silly to use that word when believers are the norm in human population.
But either way, it's not something they intentionally chose just to annoy you.
Christians, same deal. Every one of you have got friends and family who aren't believers. And I bet some of them are good people. Earnest people, thoughtful people. Charitable. Kind.
So... doesn't that kind of kill the premise that these people are avoiding God out of sinful rebellion or fear of having to live a godly life? After all, you've got people who are doing the hard part (self-sacrifice, patience, giving up all sorts of sinful pleasures) but are avoiding the easy part (praying and listening to a preacher talk for one hour a week). If God and the danger of Hell were that obvious, why wouldn't they just go all the way with it?
No, if there is a God, it appears that some good people honestly don't perceive him. For whatever reason. And there has to be some tolerance in God's rules for the Honest Mistake. Has to be. Otherwise we're all going to get screwed by that thing with the Sabbath being on Saturday instead of Sunday.
So, we've agreed that the other guy, no matter how irritating he or she is, is likely making an honest mistake. If we can agree on that, can we also agree that...

Work by Maria Nordman will open at Dia Center for the Arts, 548 West 22nd Street, New York, on Saturday, September 22,1990. An opening reception will be held on Friday, September 21, 5-7 p.m. The exhibition continues through June 21,1991. Hours are Thursday through Sunday, 12 noon to 6 p.m.
The exhibition will include plans/drawings on the second floor and work opening to the street on the ground floor. It continues work presented in collaboration with the Public Art Fund, Inc. and the New York City Parks Department at Doris Freedman Plaza at the southeast entrance to Central Park at Fifth Avenue and 60th Street beginning June 1, 1990 for two weeks.
Previous works have taken place in the living and working areas of various cities of the United States and Europe since 1969. Works have been presented in major exhibitions, including "Documenta'/" and "Documenta 8" in Kassel, Germany, "Chambres d'amis" in Ghent, Belgium and "Promenades" in Geneva, Switzerland. An important survey of drawings was organized in 1987 by the Musée St. Pierre in Lyon, France, and permanent commissions have been completed recently for Le Domain de Kerguehennec, Brittany, France and for the University of Bochum, Germany. Nordman is based in Santa Monica, California.
The realization of this work sponsored by Dia Contet for the Arts has been made possible in part by grants from the Lannan Foundation, The Andy Wartrol Foundation for the Visual Arts, and the National Endowment for the Arts, conferred in 1989, and by funds from the Dia Art Council.

Thunderstorm chances should dwindle by around lunchtime today, leaving hot and sunny conditions for the rest of the day.Expect Mother Nature's furnace to be turned up to "high" for the next few days. Our temps should top out right around 100 degrees each day, with heat indices soaring past the triple-digit mark. Today we are forecasted to see heat indices just over 100 degrees. Wednesday and Thursday will top that with a steamy 104-105 degree heat index predicted. Today we'll have those typical gusty Kansas winds to take some of the edge off of the heat (winds to 25 mph and gusts to 35). That little bit of relief will taper off during the overnight hours tonight, though, leaving just a light breeze to stir the sauna the following couple of days.Please remember that as the temperatures rise, so does your risk of suffering a heat-related emergency. Anyone who will be working outside, especially doing strenuous work, should make every attempt to schedule the bulk of that activity during the cooler parts of the day. While working in the heat, take plenty of breaks out of the sun, stay very well hydrated, and get in out of the heat as soon as possible. Heat stroke is a life-threatening medical emergency and needs to be taken seriously. Please take all the necessary precautions to keep things from going that far!

I have a MacBook and I did not take care of the battery properly. It started to shut down unexpectedly at around 20% and then even at 30%. I got a new battery and it seems to work fine; it lets me get down to 6%. The only problem is that even with the new battery, a warning does not pop up telling me that it is time to plug in my computer. I was waiting for it to come up when my computer was at 6%, and instead it just died. I don't know if I need to change some kind of setting or what. Any ideas on how to fix this?
I had reset SMC several times and changed my battery once. Unfortunately, my MacBook did not show low battery warning anymore. Then I found SlimBatteryMonitor, it works for me. You can customize the percentage of battery (if drops below x%) to show the warning panel too.
We're looking for long answers that provide some explanation and context. Don't just give a one-line answer; explain why your answer is right, ideally with citations. Answers that don't include explanations may be removed.
Try resetting the SMC. Details are listed here. You will notice that the symptom you described is listed on that page too as "The computer sleeps or shuts down unexpectedly."
One additional piece of advice. You only need to do this SMC reset once. Don't reset your SMC repeatedly and consecutively. That's not advisable.

I downloaded some games from the humblebundle, but most of them don't have deb files. They run fine after extracting them and double clicking on the executable, but unity doesn't automatically find them so I can't search for them, or add them to the side bar.
I tried to drag the executable onto the side bar, but it just dimmed and didn't do anything once I dropped it. I also tried to right-click on the executable in and clicked on "Make Link", but I couldn't drop that onto the side bar either.
I would prefer a solution that does not require using the terminal or editing configuration files by hand if possible.

I would like to export those records identified as changes after running the Version Changes tool before running Reconcile and Post tools. Preferably with python or having python call a program to do the export of the Version Changes records to somewhere and then continue on with an automated reconcile/post process. But any solution would be most appreciated. Thanks.
In order to find Version Changes between two Versions, all you have to do is use a DifferenceCursor. This is how any difference between versions (for example, detecting conflicts) is implemented internally. Make sure you open the tables that you pass in from the right version - people tend to make that mistake.
I think you will need to either add some data to your feature class or utilize the sde versioning tables to select the correct records.
This question is answered here: Is it possible to create a python script to rec/post versions?
debate:close this question?

Palladino: Chase's Behr back for one more shot
WATERBURY -- Things were going to be different in girls basketball, everyone said, but I'll be darned, it looked rather familiar Saturday in the Kennedy High gymnasium.
There was a guy on the Chase Collegiate bench who looked a lot like former coach Ray Behr. Upon closer inspection, my gosh, it was Behr. He's back to give the Highlanders one season as interim head coach.
The scoreboard looked familiar, too. True, Holy Cross graduated six players from a championship team, and Naugatuck Valley League opponents were looking to take down the three-time defending league champions.
Um, I wouldn't celebrate Cross' demise just yet.
The Crusaders won the girls jamboree in impressive fashion, slipping past Chase in a tight opening quarter, 10-8. But then they looked like the Cross of old, using defensive pressure to frustrate Crosby in the semis, 24-14, and dashing past Kennedy in the final, 23-11.
But first, let's talk about the Behr sighting on Highland Avenue. When Behr stepped down as Chase coach after the 2010-11 season, he had amassed 493 victories over 25 years. He gave way to a former Chase star, Charlene Riddick, but he missed the game enough to volunteer to help out his daughter, Jen, at Oxford High. He kept the book and stayed connected.
But when Riddick stepped down after one season, back came Behr.
"When Char decided to go back to school, I thought that the team needed some consistency in philosophy," Behr said, "so I came back to make sure that the team was in a good spot."
Behr will stay for one season, then hand the reins to Bill Maisto. Behr will get him "on the right track with the same philosophy."
And the best part of all is that Behr can finish off that career milestone and get win No. 500. Already 1-0 this season, he needs just six more wins.
"Some people asked me why I would leave before 500 wins," Behr said. "You know, you lose sight of the wins. It's the kids. They accepted me back, and they want to get 500 for me. I'm at a program that I love, a school that I love, and I just love basketball."
Lovers of basketball flocked to Kennedy, more than 600 of them, to help get the season started. We got a glimpse of an impressive future on this day. There were quality freshmen on that floor, including an eighth-grader at Chase, Idalis Miranda, and a freshman guard at Kennedy, Lynadia Whiting, who demonstrated clearly that they are stars of the future.
But it was the Crusaders, again, who were the champions of the present. With the loss of sensational talent like Angelica Ariola, Briana Bradford and Danielle Dorsett, Cross' Kiera O'Donnell showed that she is ready to step forward and be one of the top players in the NVL. With the transfer to Cross of Chelsea Houlihan from Wolcott, HC is isn't drifting out of the NVL title picture for one good reason: The Crusaders still bring the trademark swarming defense.
"Some nights, your shots will go in; some nights, they're not going to go in," Cross coach Frank Lombardo said, "but the thing is, you can always give 150-percent effort on the defensive end."
O'Donnell led all scorers with 19 points and demonstrated the versatility that will make her tough to defend. She hit from the perimeter and scored on the blocks. Cross also showed versatility in the scorebook.
"After the first quarter, we gathered ourselves," added Lombardo. "We understood how to make some adjustments."
Yes, the city jamboree is just an exhibition, but we can learn from it. The Behr is back, the city girls talent pool is being enriched, and the Crusaders are still in the title picture.

The 6 Most Epic One Man Armies in the History of War
We've already told you about five guys who single-handedly brought the asskick reactor to critical mass after being tossed into desperate situations. Here's another handful of men who absolutely refused to go gently, instead opting to erupt violence like a hate volcano onto everything around them.
#6. James H. Howard
Via homeofheroes, ww2incolor
In January 1944, James H. Howard and his squadron of P-51 Mustangs were escorting a formation of American bombers back from a mission to wipe out some aircraft factories near Berlin. While still over Germany, Nazi fighter planes attacked the American formation, and Howard, along with the other escorts, swooped in to defend the bombers. After a short battle, all of the German fighters were either driven off or shot down, but Howard found himself alone, separated from the rest of his squadron.
Via homeofheroes
"Finally, some me time."
He returned to the bomber formation by himself, only to find the sky swarming with between 30 and 40 German fighters.
The Rampage
Rather than wait for the rest of his squadron, or even hesitate for a moment, Howard blazed directly into the heart of the German fighter formation. For the next 30 minutes, Howard viciously attacked the German planes with the astonished bomber crews looking on in awe. He shot down or damaged at least six enemy aircraft and received in return only a single bullet through the wing.
Via nostalgicaviation
The plane was only weighing him down.
Running dangerously low on fuel (remember this was all happening over Germany) and with half of his guns jammed, Howard continued to swoop in on the enemy planes and force them away from the bombers before the German aircraft eventually gave up the chase.
Via homeofheroes
"See this? This is you guys. You'll notice it's a perfect fit for my penis."
When Howard returned to his base in the U.K., he didn't tell anyone what had happened. Only after an inquiry by the bomber crews was Howard's identity as the legendary Mustang pilot revealed.
In a press conference a few weeks later, a reporter asked Howard why he didn't wait for the rest of his squadron, and his response was -- write this down, because you're going to want to use it any time anyone asks you why you did anything -- "He who rides a tiger cannot dismount."
Via Wikipedia
"Hmm. But what about he who rides a shark?"
#5. Jack G. Hanson
Via history.army.mil
In 1951, after a year of fighting in Korea, the United Nations forces were at a stalemate with the North Korean Army and the People's Liberation Army, led by Kim Il Sung and Mao Zedong, respectively (aka the Korean Jesus and the world's most deadly sex maniac).
Via Wikipedia
We think they got their roles mixed up when it came to portrait time: Kim looks up for anything.
In the middle of all this was Jack G. Hanson, a machine gunner in the 31st Infantry Regiment of the U.S. Army. Hanson and the rest of the men of F Company were dug into a hill which, on the night of June 7, 1951, came under attack from a vast force of North Korean infantry. Knowing that there was no way they could stand and fight, the Americans withdrew, leaving Hanson and four other men as a rear guard to cover the retreat.
Via historymartinez
"Don't worry, we'll totally come back for you guys."
The Rampage
The aforementioned four other men with Hanson all got wounded in the attack and were forced to crawl to safety, leaving just Hanson and his machine gun standing in the face of an unstoppable human wave, spitting hot lead death.
Via homeofheroes
"Outnumbered? More like outfunbered.
Nobody really knows for sure what happened next, since all the Americans had withdrawn and the North Koreans were either dead or otherwise unavailable for comment. What we do know is that two hours later the Americans counterattacked and retook the position, where they found Hanson's body in front of his machine gun nest with all his ammo expended. In his right hand was an empty pistol and in his left was a machete covered in blood.
In front of him lay approximately 22 dead enemy soldiers, riddled with bullets and stab holes.
So, yeah. You can fill in your own story there. Just know that it won't be as badass as what actually happened.
Via Wikipedia
"Is that a tank? Bring it."
#4. Dominic "Fats" McCarthy
Via awm, ww2incolor
Dominic "Fats" (seriously) McCarthy was an Australian soldier who fought in Gallipoli and France from the beginning of World War I. In August 1918, McCarthy was commanding a company in Northern France when the battalion on his left flank was held up by a heavily fortified German trench full of machine guns. Irritated that something was standing in the way of his storm of assbeat, McCarthy took three other men with him to deal with this German trench that was causing so many problems.
Via Wikipedia
We're sure the rules of war say that this guy has the right of way.
The Rampage
For a guy named Fats, McCarthy could really fucking move. He outpaced the guys who came with him and managed to avoid the torrents of hot lead being spat at him from the German guns. He arrived at the first machine gun nest, blasted it into oblivion before the other guys could catch up and, without pausing for breath, launched a one-man blitzkrieg on the entire German trench system, armed only with a standard rifle and a shitload of grenades.
Via moddb
"Oh, have you three just arrived? There's no more war left."
McCarthy captured five machine guns, killed 22 Germans and captured 50 more. He secured half a kilometer of German trench by himself. The Germans were so impressed with his fighting that when they surrendered they patted him on the back and told him what a good job he'd done beating the everloving Jesus out of them across 500 meters of heavily fortified trenches.
Via pingnews
"Learn from his example, men! Private, stop crying, it's embarrassing."
He was awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions, now largely considered to be the finest piece of individual fighting in the entire war.

If you will have to confirm each and every command you type, you will very soon acquire a habit to automatically hit "yes" after each command. Your mental mapping for "end of command" will change from just Enter to Enter,yes,Enter - you will be typing it as a whole, don't even trying to spend some time on verifying that you really want this command to execute. This is counterproductive and won't help you.

While I was on a two hour bus trip in Tasmania, someone noted that I was the only passenger who was wearing a seat belt. Do seatbelts reduce the risk of injury or death to bus passengers? Is the reduction in risk significant in all scenarios, or does the bus and the road have to be really dodgy in order for a serious crash to be remotely likely?

The most common injuries in serious bus accidents seem to be when the bus turns over - at this point passengers can be thrown against the windows (which, being broken may mean they end up falling through onto the ground) or against the roof if the bus rolls.
A proper seat belt will prevent these accidents.
Why on earth wouldn't you want to wear seatbelts? Any safety feature is likely to be a good idea. Think of it this way: in what circumstance would you be better off not wearing it?
Admittedly statistics show that simple lap belts are not proven to improve safety for children, which is one reason why they aren't ubiquitous on school buses.

I am new to the concept of cloud computing. I have a scenrio, that I want to create and I wonder if cloud computing is the way to do it.
I want to create a system/environment which has the following features:
- have online applications applications installed on a server somewhere
- A user can login to the system and be able to run/use the remote applications and use them over the internet, almost like Citrix or remote desktop, but by using a browser
- Be able to control who has access to which software app
- Ideally (i.e. nice to have, but not essential), be able to log who logged on when and which software they used, how much disk space they are using etc.
Is there a system (i.e. software) out there that does something like this?.
if no such system exists, can someone give me guidelines as to how to go about building one?. Some of the things I think I will need to cobble such a system together would be:
- Cloud storage and computing (is this even necessary? - maybe normal hosting may suffice?)
- Some bash scripts to setup new mebers and record usage stats
- Remote viewing software (this is the difficult part I think)
Some further information:
- The applications I will be running remotely are Unix (Linux) applications
- This is for a charity, so if this kind of software exists, it should be opensource
I have just come accros VirtualBox. This seems to be heading in the right direction.... Maybe someone can expand on how I can use virtualbox in the manner I described?
I have used VNC in the past but found it to be extremely slow sometimes when graphics are involved. Is there an alternative which uses a browser as a frontend?

6 Car Myths That Cost You Money Every Year
#3. Get Regular Engine Tuneups
The Myth:
Engine tuneups help keep your car running at peak performance and should be done regularly by your mechanic to extend the life of your engine. If you don't get a full tuneup every six months, your vehicle will fold into itself and implode. And is there anything worse than that? The sudden absence of a useable car is like waking up one morning to find that your wallet's been stolen and you've suddenly lost access to both of your feet just below the ankles.
"Can't go on ... six feet too much ..."
The Reality:
Most "engine tuneups" are just an expensive way to get your spark plugs and air filter replaced. You see, old cars had a lot of different components working in a precarious balance. Things like ignition timing, idle adjustment and air-fuel mixture all needed to be within a certain range to operate optimally. Getting a knowledgeable mechanic, or a drunken uncle who "swears he 'members how to do this," to tune these things on a regular basis prevented your engine from getting too far out of whack.
"No, I said 'beer.' What the hell am I going to do with that?"
Today, however, everything is controlled by your car's computer and can't actually be changed at all without buying a new chip. While it's probably prudent to have a mechanic check your car every 50,000 miles or so to gauge the state of your spark plugs, belts and fluids, and to make sure that raccoons aren't nesting in your turbo booster, your engine's computer can handle the month-to-month: It checks everything millions of times per second anyway, making fine adjustments and tweaks automatically for best performance.
"Human extermination sequence: Activated."
#2. Winterize Your Car
The Myth:
Due to the brutal conditions that winter months put your car through, many mechanics recommend you bring it in for winterization so they can replace your fluids with cold-weather-resistant ones. You're also going to need new fuzzy dice; the pink ones are only for summer. They got some blue winter dice in the back, but they'll run you about two hundos. Better safe, though, right?
"Got a nice parka we could install on your hula girl if you don't mind payin' the extra."
The Reality:
With the exception of putting on snow tires and adjusting your tire pressure, your car is ready to go. This myth is another carry-over from olden times when men were men, women were sexy steak dispensers and engine oil was a lot simpler than today. For example, it used to be that you used one grade of oil in the summer and another during the winter. That's because oil gets thicker when it's cold and thinner when it's warm. So a summer oil (like SAE #30) would be too viscous during the winter, and a winter oil (like SAE #5) would be too thin for the summer, necessitating you to change oil with the seasons.
"We're gonna need a bigger cap to fit all of that on there."
Nowadays, oil is designed to function in both summer and winter, because some genius fluid engineer at some point figured out that seasons are things that just keep happening. That's actually why modern oil grades are hyphenated, such as 5W-30. That means it works as both 5 and 30 grade oil (the "W" stands for "winter" and not "weight," as is popularly believed). As for engine coolant, unless you're living pretty far north, even summer coolants are rated to -34 degrees Fahrenheit. And if you find yourself saying, "Well, it gets way colder than that here," you need to shut up. Not because you're wrong, or bad, but because talking uses breath, and breath is heat escaping your body. The only way you'll live to see another beautiful Sasketchewanese sunrise is to conserve that warmth in grim, grim silence, friend.
Seriously, just pack your shit and move to -- oh. OK. Hey, never mind us; you do your thing.
#1. High-Octane Gasoline Is Better for Your Engine
The Myth:
Using premium or super-grade gasoline will give you more power and better mileage, and make your engine run smoother. Think about it: paychecks, simultaneous sexual partners, amount of successive fights you've won against crocodiles -- bigger numbers are always better.
Fuck off, kid. Nobody likes a smartass.
The Reality:
With the exception of a small percentage of automobiles that require high-octane fuel, using plus or premium-grade gas won't do anything for your car. High-compression engines like those found in sports cars require high-octane gas, but not for the reason you might think, which is to go from "fun" to "funnest" as fast as possible. It's because those engines like to squeeze the gas and air in a super tight piston-driven bear hug, and the gas can sometimes get too excited and prematurely explode inside the engine (presumably while muttering shameful apologies into its shoulder). When this happens, it causes a phenomenon known as detonation or "knocking." Even though the engine tries to reassure the gas that it's perfectly natural and isn't anything to be ashamed of, it still wouldn't mind if the gasoline got a little help with its "staying power," which comes in the form of higher octane ratings.
Wait, what were we talking about again?
The vast majority of cars, however, use lower compression engines, so knocking isn't an issue with regular gas. Using higher grades won't make your engine run smoother, won't give you more power, won't improve your gas mileage and sure as hell won't make everybody in high school who makes fun of your hand-me-down Geo Metro sorry. The octane rating is purely a measure of how well the gas will resist knocking and has nothing to do with energy content.
In fact, as many gas stations now add 10 percent ethanol to their gas (pure ethanol sports a beastly octane rating of 113, but actually has 34 percent less energy than gasoline), the overall octane rating is usually two or three points higher than what the label says anyway; i.e., 87 gas is actually closer to 90 with 10 percent ethanol added. That means that even if your highfalutin, special-needs engine requires 89, you might be able to use 87 rated E10 in total safety. Plus, that way, you'd be stickin' it to The Man, who keeps tryin' to tell you what numbers you can and can't use. Who does he think he is, The Count? You go ahead and stick your 87 octane right in his craw and pump it until it goes "click."
Or do what we do, and just kind of taunt your car with it. It learns respect that way.

The Carmi Taekwondo Center recently held belt testing for their Pre-TKD (4-6 year olds) group.
Those testing were Luke Bolerjack and Walker Dolan for the orange-stripe white belt, Lydon Dotson, Chase Garrett and Javan Garrett for the yellow-stripe white belt, Dakota Gwaltney, Jayden Buchanan and Xander Wilkerson for the camo-stripe white belt, Liam Batty for the green-stripe white belt, Chase Pringle, Camden Myatt and Maeve Dolan for the blue-stripe white belt and Robert Brown for the brown-stripe white belt.
Belt tests are held about every three months. The belt test differs slightly from the standard rank testing that are held in the regular Taekwondo classes. Students in this class learn basic skills to earn new levels of white belt. As students advance through the striped belts they slowly learn all the required rank material to promote to a full color belt.
Carmi Taekwondo Center is a member of the American Taekwondo Association, one of the largest martial arts organizations in the world. The ATA consists of over 300,000 members and 1,500 schools and clubs. The ATA is one of the few martial arts organizations that certifies not only black belt ranks, but also color belt ranks.
To obtain additional information on classes, one may contact Mr. Marx at 383-2884, email email@example.com, or visit the Website at carmitkd.com.

I have an uneven six-pack and have been pushing it hard, hoping it will grow evenly. I've been training for 8 months, and there isn't any difference yet. My abs are still uneven. A trainer told me that is genetic, but I really hope there is some way to save it, as looking at my uneven abs is making me feel upset. All the sizes of my abs are different, with some big and some small.

The general consensus is that its genetic. Don't be worried though - a lot of fitness models have uneven 6 packs and they still look great because they are shredded.
Well actually I just made the discovery of why abs are uneven right now, although quite grotesque, i think every man will agree with me why it is true. Put your hand next to your crotch and move it up and down, now feel your top ab on that side of whichever hand your using, your ab is actually getting used when you do this. Now relate the motion your doing to whatever you do in real life, and it is obvious why your abs arent even, its not genetics, its the fact that youve been using the same hand to pleasure yourself everynight. :)

Poser is anyone who dresses and acts like someone they saw or heard and liked. This definition includes almost everyone. Posers tend to associate with other posers they feel afinity with, and diss anyone else that doesn't fit their pose! Almost everyone in highschool is a poser. Almost everyone in highschool is a follower, and that makes him/her a poser. A poser is anyone who, although dressing and acting as their posing buddies, still dresses properly for Thanksgiving or Christmas. A poser is someone who, by the age of 21 or 22 (some later), forgets all the shit that they used to say and believe in, but never questioned. Posers are well brought-up middle class kids, with enough money to spend on whatever they want. Posers have space for rent...in their heads. You can dress all you like, hear all you want, but USE YOUR FUCKING BRAINS!!!
Whatever the hell you probably though off in a moment of clarity... looking at you and some other poser

March 28, 2012
Edited Collaborative Volume Reflects the Work Experience of Child Psychiatric, Pediatric, and Family APNs
As an increasing number of children and adolescents with psychiatric symptoms go undiagnosed in our current health care system, the ability to identify and treat these issues in multiple health care settings has become vitally important.
Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health: A Resource for Advanced Practice Psychiatric and Primary Care Practitioners in Nursing published this month by Wiley, John & Sons, Inc., seeks to address this growing problem of unmet mental health needs of children and adolescents. The book's publication could not be more timely. The current health care reform, and the subsequent development of innovative care delivery models, affords a unique opportunity to integrate behavioral health into primary care treatment for children and adolescents, with the ultimate goal being to ensure that children and adolescents presenting with mental health issues have access to timely care with the most appropriate health care provider.
The 30 chapters in Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health were written by over 70 nurse experts, and compiled and edited by: Edilma L. Yearwood, PhD, PMHCNS, BC, FAAN is Associate Professor at the School of Nursing & Health Studies at Georgetown University; Geraldine S. Pearson, PhD, PMHCNS, BC, FAAN is Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine and Director of the Home Care Program; and Jamesetta A. Newland, PhD, FNP-BC, FAANP, DPNAP is Clinical Associate Professor and Director of the Doctor of Nursing Practice Program at NYU College of Nursing.
"Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health is aimed at advanced practice nurses and graduate students in nursing," said Newland. "The book can also be used by practicing clinicians who need a reference. If they see something in their practice, they can look it up, as we've covered a broad range of topics," Newland said.
The book is divided into four sections addressing assessment, treatment, special populations, and special issues. Within these sections, each chapter includes state-of-the-art, evidence-based information about the most common issues faced by psychiatric and primary care practitioners alike.
Chapters focused on disorders review clinical manifestation, etiology, nursing interventions, integration with primary care, and implications for practice, research, and education. Chapters focused on issues describe the linkages between the behavioral/psychiatric profile of the child and associated risk and management strategies.
"The reality is that there are not enough child psychiatric providers to meet the burgeoning needs of the pediatric population for mental health services both in the United States and worldwide," said Newland. "Primary care is at the forefront of service provision and, as such, providers can play a significant role in meeting mental health needs through early case finding and supportive linkages to treatment," she said.
Dr. Newland notes that APNs in primary care can be instrumental in initial assessment, as screening, collaboration, and referral are integral parts of the primary care practitioner's role.
"One intention of our book is to raise the awareness of primary care practitioners to consider behavioral health presentations in their assessment, then screen for severity, and work collaboratively with colleagues like APN child and adolescent psychiatric mental health nurses, to ensure all children and adolescents receive treatment," said Newland.
The U.S. government's Healthy People 2020 goals advocate for all levels of prevention in pediatric care including early case finding, access to treatment, and increased awareness of mental health needs. It is the authors' goal that Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health facilitates the work of all APNs who interact with children, adolescents, and families.
