LONDON Copper edged higher on Thursday, helped by a stronger euro on expectations Spain would seek a bailout to rescue its economy, although gains were capped by uncertainty about global growth, while trading volumes were low as China remained on holiday.
Benchmark copper on the London Metal Exchange (LME) rose 0.2 percent to finish at $8,305, from Wednesday's close of $8,290.
In the last few weeks central banks in the United States, European Union and Japan have moved to loosen their monetary policy, in an attempt to stimulate economic growth.
This boosted prices of commodities deemed riskier, including industrial metals.
"A lot of the actions from central banks recently have clearly helped to minimize any downside risks and they have tended to also weaken the dollar," Standard Chartered analyst Daniel Smith said.
"Copper is slightly underperforming (other metals) as the fundamentals are not that good at the moment with demand especially in Europe still pretty terrible. In the medium term though we think fundamentals will turn around."
The euro rose against the dollar, with investors keeping a close eye on possible financial aid for Spain as the European Central Bank (ECB) left interest rates unchanged at its latest meeting.
"Investors are still waiting for Spain to bite the bullet and request a formal rescue. It is a not a question of if but when for Spain (to ask for a bailout) and that will be seen as a huge relief for the market," said Robin Bhar, analyst at Societe Generale.
"But the potential upside for copper is pretty limited whist there is uncertainty about China's growth and U.S. growth and with the euro zone in recession, and that is going to keep a lid on rallies."
Trading volumes were thin as China is still on a public holiday. China is the world's top consumer for refined copper, accounting for as much as 40 percent of demand.
Investors are likely to look ahead to nonfarm payrolls data from the United States, due on Friday, for indications of a recovery in the country's labor market.
Sentiment surrounding the U.S. labor market was boosted in the previous session after data showed private sector hiring rose by a better-than-expected number in September.
Activity in the vast services sector also picked up, suggesting the economy remained on track for modest growth.
"We think the slant of the market after the payroll numbers on Friday will really be the action one should pay attention to. For now look at continued back and forth as the market consolidates terrific gains made since August," RBC Capital said in a note.
A report on Thursday showed that the number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits rose only slightly last week after a big drop the week before, keeping in place a trend that suggested a mild improvement in the labor market.
In industry news, Japan's biggest copper smelter, Pan Pacific Copper (5020.T), is in talks with buyers in China to slash its term premium for 2013 shipments by 15 percent from this year to $85 a metric tonne, a source familiar with the matter said.
The lower premiums reflect slowing demand growth in the world's top consumer of metals.
Uncertainty about the outlook for physical demand continues to sour sentiment for the metal used in power and construction as global economic growth struggles.
"Overall we expect Q4 prices to continue to take cues from the macro rather than the physical market," said James Luke, a Hong Kong-based commodities analyst at China International Capital Corporation (CICC).
"Prices will be well supported but I don't expect physical demand to surprise on the upside and that should limit prices relative to other more purely investor-driven metals such as gold."
In other metals, battery material lead closed at $2,290.50 a tonne, from Wednesday's close of $2,306, while zinc ended at $2,065 from $2,082 at the close on Wednesday. Nickel closed at $18,675 from $18,525.
Aluminium finished at $2,212 per tonne, from a last bid of $2,102.50 on Wednesday, and tin at $22,500, its highest since early May, from a last bid of $22,100.

Ram Leela A Liberating Experience: Sanjay Leela Bhansali
Sanjay Leela Bhansali is feeling liberated ever since his Ram Leela hit the screens and wowed the critics and audiences alike. And why not, this success has come to him after six years and two duds - Saawariya and Guzaarish.
Bhansali is in a celebratory mood and shares his excitement in a tete-a-tete:
Ram Leela opened to stupendous reviews and roaring audiences. How are you feeling?
It feels...liberating! I've finally slept peacefully the whole night. The last few weeks have been traumatic. The protests left me shaken and drained. But now that the film is being so appreciated, I've blocked out all the troubles. When your work is being seen and appreciated, you feel all the effort has been worth it. I am happy to see the audience is getting the nuances in the narration. The passion of the entire vast and crew has paid off.
Ram Leela comes after the failure of two of your films...
Yes, we had worked with equal passion on Saawariya and Guzaarish. Both the films are as precious to me as Ram Leela. But somehow our efforts did not connect with the audience in my last two films. That broke my heart. I got back to direction determined to get back my audience. I needed Ram Leela to reach out to the the widest possible audience. Not that I made Ram Leela to prove anything. I made the film I enjoyed making and I hoped audiences would share my pleasure. (IANS)

Java Database Integration with JDBC
Whether you're building a web- or desktop-based application with Java SE or Java EE, many Java applications need to integrate data from a relational database. This course describes how to read and manage data from relational databases such as MySQL and SQL Server using the Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) API.
Author David Gassner explains how to choose a JDBC driver and connect to one or more databases. He also provides detailed instructions on reading, selecting, and updating data; calling stored procedures; managing data via JavaBean classes or with prepared statements; and working with metadata.
- Importing a MySQL database
- Connecting to databases
- Handling JDBC exceptions
- Looping through result sets
- Limiting the number of fetched rows
- Filtering data with prepared statements
- Calling stored procedures
- Inserting, updating, and deleting rows with prepared statements
- Using a persistent database connection
- Committing and rolling back transactions
- Subject:
- Developer
- Software:
- Java
- Author:
- David Gassner
(musical tones) - [Voiceover] My name is David Gassner, and I'd like to welcome you to Java Database Integration with JDBC. JDBC is a set of Java interfaces and classes that will connect your application to nearly any relational database management system. I'll show you how to write Java code to connect to two different database management systems. Once connected, I'll describe how to loop through rows of retrieve data, and how to display their contents. I'll describe how to use preparedStatement objects to create parameterized SQL statements.
I'll then show you how to insert, update, and delete data, and how to dynamically acquire information about your database structure. I hope that this course will help you get started with this important Java API, and get ready to build data-aware, Java-based applications.

This paper explores the results of a survey which asks a range of newly enrolled NZDipBus students at UNITEC why they elected to study the New Zealand Diploma in Business in 1999. This paper compares the reasons of full time and part time students. It will also briefly explore the level of monetary support offered to part time students by their employers. As many NZDipBus providers have articulation arrangements with universities, it is helpful to know how important these arrangements are to current students. The literature records the value of the NZDipBus to employers and students as well as retention issues.

Former Vermont fire chief faces embezzlement chargeThe Associated Press | February 26,2013BENNINGTON — A former Vermont fire chief has been accused of fraud and embezzlement stemming from a department-sponsored raffle.
Bennington Police Chief Paul Doucette says people who won prizes in the raffle never received them. They also say money paid for raffle tickets was never turned over to the department.
Joseph Hayes was Bennington Rural Fire Department chief. He lost his bid to be re-elected as chief last month.
The Bennington Banner reports (http://bit.ly/XDg3A5) Hayes was cited for false pretenses and embezzlement. His wife, Angela, was cited as being an accessory to the false pretenses charge.
Hayes is on probation after pleading guilty last month to a disorderly conduct charge. That stemmed from an incident at an emergency scene last June where Hayes threw a flashlight at a vehicle.MORE IN This Just In

We processed 30 consecutive days of Global Positioning System (GPS) data using the On-line Positioning Users Service (OPUS) provided by the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) to determine how the accuracy of derived three-dimensional positional coordinates depends on the length of the observing session T, for T ranging from 1 h to 4 h. We selected five Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS), distributed widely across the USA, and processed the GPS data for each with corresponding data from three of its nearby CORS. Our results support the current OPUS policy that recommends using a minimum of 2 h of static GPS data. In particular, 2 h of data yielded a root mean square error of 0.8, 2.1, and 3.4 cm in the north, east, and up components of the derived positional coordinates, respectively. Results drastically improve for solutions containing 3 h or more of GPS data.

Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
QRSlate is a film slate for iOS, but with a twist: It organizes your media automatically on your computer. It's like having your own assistant editor!
It truly bridges the gap between production and editorial.
Using the slate as a barcoding system, QR Slate sends important information (scene, take, camera rolls, a scene description, etc) directly to the camera for integration into Avid Media Composer, Final Cut Pro 7, Final Cut X and Premiere metadata.
+++ PLEASE NOTE: In order to import the media with all of the metadata included, this app needs to be used with QR Slate Desktop Importer ( available in the Mac App Store for 49.99 USD). +++
Shoot your project using QR Slate the same way you'd shoot with any other slate: Hold it up and record it. Make sure the camera can see it!
When you're finished, import the footage to your computer like usual. Drag and drop the movie files into the QR Slate desktop application. The Desktop App will analyze your video, find the slates within the movies themselves, and then import the footage into Final Cut Pro 7 and Avid with the included metadata!
But what if you've already slated the take, you're rolling, and need to revise it? Or there's a take you really like and want to mark it for later? You couldn't have known that before the roll!
The Script Supervisor / Take Organizer lets you revise, modify, and delete takes on set. You can change any available field and get everything clean and organized before passing it off to editorial. All those preciously helpful script supervisor notes will no longer by thrown in a drawer next to the sound report ever again!
During the roll, you can also drop Markers. Markers can be named and commented on, and will appear in your clip when imported into the NLE, right where you added them during the shoot! A powerful tool for long single takes on things like reality tv or documentary.
When you're finished with the shoot, you can email yourself an updater file, drop it in with the footage, and your media will be automatically updated with the most recent metadata!
We'd love to hear what you would add or remove. We take criticism very well.
What's New in Version 1.2.1

Re: OMG First Premiere
Thanks Timotiger, that was my number one concern. I am only about 15 months away from it being removed and the settlement offer they gave was 60%, no way! I am reaching out to my other creditors to get credit line increases because it just seems a little unjustifable for me to pay that amount even though it is my debt. I almost called them but I dont think it will amount to much on a reduction.

Did we do the time warp again? Why is it so warm outside? Isn't it supposed to be Winter in December? Bwog superstar Britt Fossum engages in the discourse regarding our unseasonably warm weather.
The End is Nigh.
How are we expected to study for finals when it's a balmy 60 degrees Fahrenheit every day, when the sun is constantly shining, when the sky is a pure cloudless blue? Are we really supposed to be able to ignore the sound of flip-flop soles smacking against the tile floor of the ref room? Or that the study guide post-its we've stuck to the walls above our bed keep sliding off thanks to the humidity condensing on every interior surface?
We were Ready. But we spoke too soon. Now we must pay for our folly in sweat, tears, and the resulting dehydration headaches.
Give me a Cold Day in July, give me Hell frozen over, give me anything but this Second Summer. Give me a reason to hide away in the steamy booths of the Noco library, to pour endless cups of hot coffee straight down my throat.
Learning is impossible if your brain is already boiling.

Last night, Maison Francaise brought in some accomplished environmentalists to talk. Energy expert Max Rettig reports on what he heard.
Two years ago, French economist Thomas Piketty published a ground-breaking book, Capital in the Twenty-First Century, about wealth inequality throughout the world. In it, he touched on natural capital only briefly. On Tuesday night in Columbia's Maison Francaise, economists, academics, and architects gathered to discuss how natural capital is changing the way we view and treat our environment and its resources.
On the panel were Claude Henry, a former physicist and current economist, and professor of Sustainable Development between Columbia and Paris' Sciences-Po; Geoffrey Heal, a professor of public policy and corporate responsibility at Columbia Business School; Peter Kelemen is a professor and the Director of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Columbia; and Stephen Cassell is a founding partner in Architecture Research Office, a 25-person group that is reimagining lower Manhattan's waterfront.

On Tuesday, the Institute for Religion, Culture & Public Life presented the third part of its yearlong series, Apocalypse Now: End Time and the Contemporary Imaginary. Seated in front of a small audience old enough to remember the first global climate shift, Wallace S. Broecker (aka the "Grandfather of Climate Science") expertly addressed just how bad things really are. Lecture-hopper extraordinaire, Zachary Hendrickson, was in attendance to capture every terrifying insight.
"It's really hopeless. I don't think we're going to do anything because there is no will to do anything." These final, incredibly depressing words provided the perfect cap on the evening. Delivered by Broecker in response to a question from the audience about whether or not human beings would "make it," this quote could pretty much sum up the entire night. For someone can say that they first coined the term 'global warming' nearly 50 years ago, it must be incredibly frustrating to see that, even as your predictions come to life with devastating consequences, there are still individuals out there who believe that climate change is not a serious issue – or worse, don't believe it exists at all.
This is a frustration that could be felt in nearly every point that Broecker (who is, by the way a professor at Columbia in the Earth and Environmental Science Department) delivered. Another cloud over the conversation was, of course, Hurricane Sandy. This is where the night started off. Broecker was hesitant to say that Sandy was a direct effect of climate change because it was a "freak storm." He made the point a number of times that scientists don't often, or at least shouldn't, comment on what they haven't directly studied, and when it comes to specific meteorological occurrences there are simply too many factors at play to say that x directly caused y. However, he did acknowledge that because of climate change there were bound to be more freak instances. "What Sandy tells us is that a lot of what's to come is going to surprise us," Broecker proclaimed.
All this talk of super storms and the end of the world had me interested, sure, but I couldn't help but wonder what the Grandfather of Climate Science thought could save us. Surely he had to know of some great scientific scheme that would fall to Earth like the word of God to Moses and spell things out so clearly for the world that there was no possible way anyone could manage to screw things up… His proposal may surprise you.

Grab your lab coats and slap on your safety goggles, because the world of science is in turmoil. Sort of. This week Zealous Xenobiologist Zach Kagan brings you exciting tales of global warming, stem cells, the secrets of the the brain and more.
Last Wednesday Havemeyer Hall became a battleground over the future direction of Neuroscience research. In a public debate, moderated by Robert Kulwhich of Radiolab fame, two top neuroscientists argued over the direction of future research: In one corner we have Sebastian Seung, MIT professor of computational neuroscience and swanky dresser, and in the other corner we have the one-and-only director of the Center for Neural Science at NYU, Tony Movshon. Seung came into the ring swinging, arguing the the ways that neurons interconnect throughout the brain is the most important avenue for research. Movshon fought back, standing firm in his belief that scientists should specialize in which area of the brain they study, getting deeper into how each individual part functions. In the end both combatants went the whole fifteen without a knock out, but it was a hell of a show.

It's Saturday, which means Chemical Charmer Zach Kagan has once again mixed a week's worth of science news together in an erlenmeyer flask for your edification.
A landmark study from the Earth Institue suggests that ocean acidity is rising faster than any time in the history of the planet. Open water absorbs CO2 emissions, where it becomes carbonic acid. Normally that acid gets neutralized by sedimentary materials like fossilized plakton, but the quantity of CO2 is so overwhelming that all the carbonized plakton shells have dissolved away, leaving a layer of mud. There's only one other record of the ocean floor transforming into an underwater swamp of sadness, 300 million years ago—and even that happened over a 5,000 year span. Meanwhile, ocean pH is falling at an unprecedented rate, which the scientists expect will lead to a major decrease in marine diversity.
In other weird nature news, a new collaborative study says that global warming also causes increased snowfall. Columbia researchers expanded on data which suggests that changes in atmospheric circulation and atmospheric water vapor content cause snowier winters, both of which are in turn caused by melting arctic ice. So the globe may be getting hotter, but at least it's increasing the odds of getting a snow day.

Columbia has long had a penchant for the hazardous.
Shopping carts, to your hands. Just by touching them, you risk diarrhea and worse.
Sleep deprivation, to your heart. Nearly everyone with a college degree will probably have a heart attack 50 years after graduation.
Cancer drugs, to your fetuses. But now, the miraculous techniques of freezing means you can prevent the first and save the latter.
Vermin, to your asthma. Oh, and also to your general sanity.
Rocks, to carbon dioxide. Nothing says "run away" like the word "sequestration."

Everyone's elections predictions (which took up most of the "Columbia University" hits this week) came out alright, but there are still more predictions to come.
Stiglitz says "Yes We Can…eventually"
Eisenbach says "See? I told you this one would be different."
A Columbia scientist says, "The predictions were too late."
Those who were around in '68 say, "It's gonna be just like it used to be, dang nabbit."

The cover story in this week's Village Voice is an interview with Columbia's Klaus Jacob, geophysicist and adjunct professor of international and public affairs.
Jacob is a big time disaster expert: in the 90s, his research on earthquakes convinced the city to change its building codes. And when he worked for President Clinton, he was the first to lead a national study on the effects of global warming.
Nonetheless, Jacob has been trying to warn Columbia for four years about the possible dangers inherent to the University's blueprint for Manhattanville. Columbia, as it tends to do from time to time, is not listening.
For one, he believes that the new campus is located right in the heart of a flood zone (Think about the valley where the 1 train comes above ground. In fact, there's Jacob over there to the right, standing in this very valley.) And thanks to global warming, the possibility of flooding due to hurricanes is only going to steadily increase over the years.

In which Bwog lecture hopper Phil Crone reports back from the Heyman Center's discussion on climate change
Altschul Auditorium was host last night to a panel discussion featuring PrezBo, Joseph Stiglitz, and various experts on the ever more apocalyptic science of climate change. What exactly PrezBo, a freedom of speech scholar-cum-university president, was doing heading a discussion on climate change was anyone's guess, but by the end of the evening it was clear that he had taken on the position of moderator mainly to provide comic relief for an audience presented with the grim scientific and political realities surrounding the topic.
Comedy, however, was not the first item on the agenda. The main event began shortly after eight with PrezBo introducing the four members of the panel: James Hansen, head of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies; R.K. Pachauri, the chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC); Cynthia Rosenzweig, an adjunct professor at Barnard who also works on the IPCC; and Columbia's favorite Nobel laureate, Joseph Stiglitz.

According to a press release by University Spokesman Robert Hornsby, carbon emitted by Commencement ceremonies starting about now (watch the live webcast here!) will be offset by the purchase of carbon credits, which pay for carbon absorption projects around the world. It's all the rage among the guilty-conscience set–and now you can calculate just how much greenhouse gas you're pumping into the atmosphere on your ride home! Bwog's only remaining question: did they factor in what will be coming out of Prezbo's mouth?
Also, some leftovers:
Via Ivygate: All you Office fanatics, the show came to Columbia just as you left.
And…at least somebody liked Quigley's speech.

Really struggling with formatting the appearance of Disqus 2012, not sure if I'm missing something?
I want to add padding/margins so that the Disqus box doesn't fill 100% width of my container as it doesn't look very good:
I've used Firebug to tweak it and get it looking great using:
margin-left: 20px;
margin-right: 20px;
margin-top: 15px;
...but the style sheet used by Disqus is hosted by them, and I can't edit it.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you

Various factors that can affect the coverage dependence of diffusivity for the case of surface hetero-diffusion have been analyzed. Simple Monte Carlo modeling of the diffusion process shows that diffusivity can either increase or decrease with coverage, depending on whether the interaction between diffusing atoms is repulsive or attractive. The results of more detailed simulations show that these simple predictions are reasonable. If the diffusing species undergoes first-order phase transitions as a function of coverage, then important perturbations of the diffusion profiles will result. One final factor in coverage dependence of diffusivity is considered, namely, the possible effects of coverage on the surface step structure. An analysis of diffusion profiles obtained for the spreading of Bi over Cu(100) shows that the major effects of coverage on diffusivity come about from the presence of phase transitions, and from the inherent coverage dependence of diffusivity in systems with short-range repulsion.

THEATER; Uta Hagen: A Legend In Theater
By ALVIN KLEIN
Published: May 17, 1998
''HUG the ocean to the dead end.'' As Uta Hagen gives those directions, a driver is left to ponder whether she is merely describing the route to her home on the cliffs of Montauk, or delivering a metaphor for life.
But her segue from an on-the-spot poetic utterance to an outpouring of invective is what sets a conversation with Ms. Hagen apart from an interview with a mere mortal. Nothing is calculated; everything, the lyric flights most of all, is real. At age 78, this Broadway legend is mortal, but she is never mere.
Her weekend and summer retreat in Montauk -- the ''cloudless sky, shining sea, idyllic surf'' -- elicits the touch of the poet in Ms. Hagen. ''I have the moors on the left, a beautiful garden on one acre,'' she said. ''It's paradise.''
But don't get her started on those directors, playwrights or gurus like Robert Wilson and David Mamet, with what she agrees are their disrespect for acting and radical notions of theater. That's when the invective flows. On Mamet, his plays and in particular his recent ''guide to acting'' entitled ''True and False: Heresy and Common Sense for the Actor,'' which assails wide swaths of acting's conventional truths, Ms. Hagen says: ''It's a scandal. It's dangerous. It's hateful. It's a fraud. It leads to madness, and I won't allow those plays to be done in my class.''
The actress who played Desdemona to Paul Robeson's ''Othello'' in 1943 and Martha in the original production of ''Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?'' (1962) has also been a force in the teaching of acting since 1947, one year before she became the second Blanche DuBois on Broadway opposite a succession of Stanley Kowalskis: Marlon Brando, Anthony Quinn and Ralph Meeker. Her gallery of classic performances in plays by Odets, Shaw, Brecht and Chekhov defined the decades when big-time Broadway embraced the spoken words of masters in extended engagements.
No wonder that Walter Van Dyke, a 36-year-old English actor on brief holiday from London who was recently allowed to audit two of Ms. Hagen's four acting classes in Manhattan, said that four years ago he took a more extended holiday -- five months -- to enroll in her advanced acting classes. Already an actor for 14 years, he flew from London to New York on the chance that he'd pass the audition. He did.
''If she likes you and takes you in, there's no better way to put your craft into practice,'' he said. ''So I took five months out of my life and I sublet an apartment in New York. I've never personally studied with anyone who is so clear in her analysis of a scene and immediately gives you such informative direction. I can't imagine anything greater, anything deeper. She wrote the book.''
Actually, she wrote two books on acting, though the only one she still stands by is ''A Challenge for the Actor'' (Scribners, 1991). It is not ''Respect for Acting,'' her 1973 (MacMillan) Bible for acting students.
''I reject the first book,'' Ms. Hagen said the other day after a session of her master class. ''It was convenient and cute and superficial. But it sells and they won't let it go. I was appalled when I learned it's still selling better than the second and I can't get them to discontinue it.''
And she rejects the term ''master class.'' Advanced class will do. After the play of that name by Terrence McNally the designation has been imprecisely tossed about. To students, if Ms. Hagen is teaching it, it is a master class, and that's that.
The master classroom is at 120 Bank Street in the West Village: The H.B. Studio, named for Herbert Berghof, who died in 1990. They were married 39 years.
There, on Wednesdays and Thursdays, October through May, Ms. Hagen has been showing her students the ways that the actor ''learns to understand the psychological problems of human beings when putting his own passions, his loves, tears and rages to work in the service of the character he plays,'' in the words of Ms. Hagen's prologue to ''A Challenge for the Actor.''
In its early days just after World War II, the H.B. students included Geraldine Page, Charles Grodin, Dina Merrill, Jason Robards, Anne Meara and Jerry Stiller. Eli Wallach, Mildred Dunnock and Lee Grant were among those who joined the teaching staff.
One does not ask Ms. Hagen how acting works. ''No one asks an instrumentalist why he has tension in his wrist or how he holds his bow, or a painter how he makes the paper wet,'' Ms. Hagen said during a recent telephone conversation. ''I usually say, 'It is none of your business.' Everyone thinks he can act; that's a lack of respect.''
But do observe her in action, sitting behind a desk, dressed in black from skimmer hat to walking shoes, smoking one cigarette after another, taking in one scene after another, all played by students.
After each scene, she asks the players questions like ''What can you tell me today?'' and ''How did you feel?'' and ''What are you doing wrong?''
The students come back with responses like ''I was trying not to fall into an attitude. I don't think I succeeded.'' Or ''Sometimes I just vague out. I don't know what I'm saying.'' Often, the teacher warns against ''predeciding,'' against ''that contemporary attitudinal thing,'' against the ''what's-in-it-for-me philosophy.'' She talks about ''really receiving from your partner and going with that.''

NEW YORK (AP) -- Federal prosecutors say one of Bernard Madoff's
former employees has agreed to plead guilty to participating in his epic swindle.
The prosecutors say in a letter to a judge that Eric Lipkin will appear in Manhattan federal court on Monday to admit his role in Madoff's crimes.
The letter made public Thursday says the charges will include conspiracy, bank fraud and falsifying various financial records. It
says Lipkin is entering the plea as part of a cooperation agreement
with prosecutors. The letter does not specify what sort of assistance he has been asked to provide.
Lipkin's lawyer, James Filan, declined to comment.
Charges have yet to be formally lodged against Lipkin.
Prosecutors say they will file the case just before he enters his guilty plea on Monday.

SAVE THE DATE for Reunion 2016 the weekend of Oct. 7, 8 and 9
Please contact Tammye Raster at email@example.com if you would like to join the Reunion Committee to assist with planning events for your class. A formal invitation with details about the Fall Reunion Weekend events will follow soon.
Reunion 2015
During Reunion 2015, law alumni gathered to share many memories of their time at Notre Dame Law School. The class of 1975 led by their "fearless leader" Peter Shirk had a record turnout of close to 50 law grads. The alumni gathered for a lovely brunch on Saturday at the lake home of Jeanne Jourdan followed by a class Mass in the law chapel by Fr. Dave Link and a class dinner in the Law School.
The class of 1965 was reunited due to the efforts of Henry Boitel and enjoyed many laughs at the 50-Year Club Induction Breakfast at the Law School on Saturday morning where they received their special "gold hats".
The class of 1985 reconnected at a wonderful picnic hosted at the home of Matt Barrett.
The class of 1990 also rallied the troops and had a nice showing for the Saturday events.
Fr. Beauchamp and Jeanne Jourdan
All reunion attendees had an opportunity to reconnect with classmates as they worshiped together at the Law School Mass celebrated by alum Fr. Bill Beauchamp on Friday and shared dinners both Friday and Saturday in the Law School's beautiful Eck Commons. Law alumni had a chance to attend numerous seminars on campus including, "Being Atticus Finch", the popular presentation by Fr. Dave Link, and "Lost Classroom, Lost Community" presented by professors Nicole Garnett and Peg Brinig. Thank you to all alumni who traveled back to campus to celebrate their law reunion. We look forward to Reunion 2015! See all reunion photos here.
Law Reunion Giving
Maximizing alumni participation is the primary goal of the reunion giving program. Making a gift in honor of your reunion is a simple way to show your Notre Dame spirit and support our current students.
Dinner in NDLS Commons

The font in the demo is the same. Looks great in chrome, explorer, safari but doesn't show on Mozilla.

HP Photosmart Premium c310 Series Printer Won't Scan
As the title says, I'm having difficulty trying to get my c310 printer to scan. When I try to open HP solutions, it tells me it can't run because my installation isn't complete. I've redownloaded the drivers and software multiple times. I've installed the printer through the windows control panel and it prints fine. When I try scanning anything using the touch screen on the printer, it says, "Scan problem: Try starting scan from computer. Refer to documentation for details." I'm running Windows 7, 64 bit on an HP Pavilion g7-1330dx Notebook PC. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Re: HP Photosmart Premium c310 Series Printer Won't Scan
Hi tjminter81,
I'm not sure what you mean by installing 'through the windows control panel'. is that installed by the Add Printer Wizard?
When you run the HP install software, does the install complete or do you get an error message?
Please mark the post that solves your problem as "Accepted Solution"
Re: HP Photosmart Premium c310 Series Printer Won't Scan
Re: HP Photosmart Premium c310 Series Printer Won't Scan
The only way of getting the scanning and Solution Center working is to get the failed install removed and then the HP driver installed.
First, please try the HP Print and Scan Doctor. Here is the link.
On the install CD there is a utility to remove failed installs. Open the install CD and then the util folder. Open the ccc folder. Run uninstall_L4, it will remove a lot of what is not working.
Restart the computer and then try installing again.
Please mark the post that solves your problem as "Accepted Solution"
Re: HP Photosmart Premium c310 Series Printer Won't Scan
Re: HP Photosmart Premium c310 Series Printer Won't Scan
That does make it tougher.
When the download driver is expanded, it makes the same image as the CD in the temp folder.
run %temp%
This will get you to the temp folder
Look for a folder that is name something like "7zS61AC". The key is the first two characters are 7z.
Again look for util folder and then ccc and then run "Uninstall_L4".
The whole path will look something like this:
"C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Local\Temp\7zS61AC\util\ccc"
Please mark the post that solves your problem as "Accepted Solution"
Re: HP Photosmart Premium c310 Series Printer Won't Scan
I am having similar problems. I needed to reinstall my HP C310a. After uninstalling all the software, I reinstalled from the downloaded file. When it got near the end (toolbar installation), it hung up. I uninstalled everything and tried to reinstall from the original disk. Same problem. Now I can only print if connected with a USB cable, and when I go to "Solution Center," it won't run because the "installation is not complete."
I have done everything suggested in this forum - some of them twice! Still no luck. I have literally wasted hours uninstalling, rebooting, searching for help, installing . . . you get the picture!
Windows 7, 64 bit
Any suggestions?

Re: HP Photosmart Premium c310 Series Printer Won't Scan
Hi, Sunshyn2005. Thanks for your reply. I followed the link you provided, and evertually ened up reinstalling everything - and had the same "fatal error." Here's the sequence:
(Installation) - configuring product
Fatal Error duing installation (message on screen)
clicked OK (only choice!)
Removing HP software (messgae on screen)
Analyzing error installation log (message on screen)
A huge error listing came up; I tried to paste it in here but I exceeded th size limit.
So right now, I can print BUT Solution Center won't work - when I try to open it, I get this message: HP Solution Center cannot run because your device installation is not complete.
This is what has been happening when I do the install - probably 10 times by now!
Any ideas?
Re: HP Photosmart Premium c310 Series Printer Won't Scan
BTW, I can now print wirelessly, thanks to a fix HP sent me. So there is progress being made. The problem now is that the Solution Center will not install. Wanted to be sure this was clear. I am also inserting the error log (mentioned previously) as a picture. Thank you.

"Alone" is a song composed by Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly. It first appeared via Steinberg and Kelly's 1983 pet project, I-Ten, on Taking a Cold Look. It was later recorded by Valerie Stevenson and John Stamos in their roles as Lisa Copley and Gino Minelli, on the original soundtrack of the CBS sitcom Dreams in 1984. American rock band Heart made it a number-one US and Canadian hit in 1987. Twenty years later, Celine Dion recorded it for her album Taking Chances.

Heart version[edit]
Heart released the song as the first single from their ninth studio album, Bad Animals, in May 1987. Their version is a power ballad that begins with a piano line and a subdued vocal from Ann Wilson before exploding into an amplified hard rock, albeit heavily synth-led, chorus. The song has been covered numerous times on American Idol. According to a Songfacts interview with Steinberg, Kelly (an experienced session singer) provided the high harmony parts on the record.[1] "Alone" is Heart's biggest hit, spending three weeks at No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 that July. It ranked No. 2 on the Billboard Year-End Top Pop Singles of 1987. It is also their most successful single in the United Kingdom, where it peaked at No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart, so far as the band's only ever song to peak inside the UK Top 5; it is also one out of three UK Top 10 singles by the band. The song was also a huge global hit, reaching No. 1 in Canada, the top five in Ireland, Norway, and Switzerland, the top ten in Australia, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Poland as well as the top twenty in Germany. The song's popular video featured the band in a synched live performance. An "unplugged" version of the song later appeared on Heart's 1995 album The Road Home.
Extended version[edit]
An extended version of "Alone" clocking in at 5:30 was released in Japan as the B-side to Heart's third single from Bad Animals, "There's the Girl". This "Long Version" is exclusive to this 3" mini-CD single, and not found on any other release.[2]

Celine Dion version[edit]
Celine Dion covered "Alone" for her ninth English-language studio album Taking Chances (2007). It was released as the second single in Europe and North America, and third in the United Kingdom, while "Eyes on Me" was released as the second single in the United Kingdom instead. "Alone" was produced by Ben Moody, ex-member of Evanescence. The version received mixed reviews from music critics, who thought that the cover was too similar with the original, considering it a dull and carbon-copy version.
Background and release[edit]
Dion covered "Alone" for her tenth English studio album Taking Chances (2007). The version was produced by Ben Moody, former member of rock band Evanescence.[29] Dion's version features tinkling pianos and enveloping strings.[29] It was released as the second single in Europe and North America, and third in the United Kingdom. The digital single release in the UK on May 5, 2008 was coincided with the British leg of the Taking Chances World Tour.[30] In October 2008, "Alone" was included on the European version of My Love: Essential Collection.[31] A live version was included in the Taking Chances World Tour: The Concert CD/DVD.[32]
Critical reception[edit]
Music critics were divided on "Alone." Stephen Thomas Erlewine from AllMusic picked the song as one of the best tracks on Taking Chances, and wrote that "Celine attempts to snatch Heart's 'Alone' from Carrie Underwood and cribs from Kelly Clarkson's operatic rock, two blatant thieveries that, when combined with the quartet of explicit changeups, gives Taking Chances a vaguely desperate vibe, as if Celine needs to prove that she still reigns supreme among all divas."[33] Sarah Rodman wrote for The Boston Globe that "Enlisting former Evanescence guitarist Ben Moody adds little; in fact, the carbon-copy arrangement doesn't pack as much windswept melodramatic punch as Dion's own 'It's All Coming Back to Me Now.' Great vocal, terrific melody, a fine rendition, but 'Alone' is already indelibly stamped by Heart's Ann Wilson."[34] Toronto Star editor Ashante Infantry called this song "sentimental, cringe-worthy diva track." Chuck Taylor of Billboard called it "a rowdy cover."[35] Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone gave the song a negative review, writing: "That's nothing compared to Dion shrieking the ten millionth version of Heart's 'Alone' (mad pitchy, dog!), produced by ex-Evanescence guitarist Ben Moody – Amy Lee, meet the fugliest bullet you ever dodged."[36]
Chart performance[edit]
The song debuted on November 24, 2007 at No. 85 on the UK Singles Chart.[37] It spent two weeks on the chart.[37] After selling 12,535 copies, it entered the US Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles at No. 24 and Canadian Hot 100 at No. 57. It entered the Swedish Singles Chart, due to strong digital sales, and peaked at No. 52.[38]
Music video and live performances[edit]
The music video was taken from Dion's CBS TV special That's Just the Woman in Me and released on March 8, 2008.[39] Dion promoted "Alone" at that time in France, performing it on Star Academy. On November 23, 2007, she went to the American talkshow The View to perform "Taking Chances" as well as "Alone."[40] Dion performed the song during most dates of her Taking Chances World Tour; the performance was included in the Taking Chances World Tour: The Concert CD/DVD.[32]

AT&T helps high school dropouts
Grant to aid PCC's efforts to give students another chance
The Pueblo Community College Foundation was given a $20,000 grant Tuesday that will go toward a program that gives high school dropouts a second chance.
Roberta Robinette, a Pueblo native serving as AT&T's Colorado president, delivered the AT&T Aspire grant to school officials during a small ceremony Tuesday at PCC's Center for New Media studio.
The funding will help support the institution's Gateway to College program. The money will help expand the program to PCC's Fremont Campus this fall through a partnership with the Fremont School District.
The grant also will help customize project-based learning opportunities to include experimental activities and daylong excursions, and it will enable PCC to engage students in project-based learning connected to their areas of study.
Robinette toured the campus Tuesday.
"I hope it (tour) was long enough, for you to fall in love with us the way we are with our students and especially our Gateway students who have so much potential," said PCC President Patty Erjavec.
"It just takes a little bit of extra encouragement and nurturing and before you know it these students blossom. And with your gift we are going to be able to continue on and continue to work with these students to see them blossom and grow and eventually attain their associates (degrees)."
"Folks do need a second chance. And you need that hope and encouragement. Looking at this program, I thought that it was a program that really fit to what it was that AT&T was looking for," Robinette said.
The Gateway to College program, established in 2009, provides an opportunity for youths between the ages of 17 and 21 to get back on track after leaving the traditional high school education path. The program has served more than 437 students, with many of them going on to earn college certificates and degrees.
Since 2008, the Aspire grant has provided support to more than 1,000 national and community organizations.

This is a fantastic recipe! I did some minor changes simply due to my "inventory" but the different textures and flavors make this dish! Instead of cumin/oregano/sage (I didn't have those) I just taco seasoning. Instead of Mayonaise and ranch mix, I just used ranch dressing in a bottle. This was a huge hit and everyone wanted the recipe!
JUST INCREDIBLE! Took it to our church potluck and it just disappeared into thin air!!! So many flavors and textures in your mouth, um um it was vastly superior to ANY cold salad I have ever made! This one goes immediately into my permanent file..THANKS A MILLION!!
Inez, you came to the rescue again! I had a party to go to on Sat night, and was asked to bring a dish to pass. I've had this one in my cookbook for ages, and I'm so glad I chose to make it! This was the hit of the party! I tried to serve it cut into squares but as the drinks flowed my rowdy friends were digging in and eating it right out of the dish with their spoons! I have a recipe for a corn bread salad, but I really like the Mexican twist with this one, and the layered look as well! I'm going to toss my old recipe out and use this one from now on!

I created a Static Front Page per the directions of a Codex article Creating A Static Front Page. However, I am seeing 2 "Host" navigation buttons on the menu bar as stated in the Troubleshooting Themes section. The instructions state the following:
Navigation Bars
Some themes have top navigation bar containing links to Pages. By default most themes set "Home" as a link to the home page - in this case the static front page. Since you have created a separate page with the title "Home", there is a likelihood of another link text appearing as "Home".
To change it, edit the appropriate template file featuring the code of the navigation bar with the template tag wp_list_pages. Set the parameters to change the link title.
Set the parameters to what?
Below is the navigation code from Header.php which I believe is the correct place to fix the problem. However, what am I supposed to change to resolve this problem?

Inhuman Nature
She's big, she's scary, and she's pissed. The mutha of all muthas -- Gaia -- is a force to be reckoned with, and she's sending shock waves, floods and monster storms to settle the score.
The exhibition "Separation Anxiety" explores the growing tension between Mother Nature and mankind. "We've always had an uneasy relationship with nature, this year especially, because we're facing natural disasters, epidemics [and] hurricanes," says Arizona State University art professor and exhibition curator Mary Bates Neubauer.
With computers smaller than insects and skyscrapers towering miles above the planet's surface, it might seem that we've conquered nature. But, Neubauer asserts, the tsunami in Southeast Asia and the hurricanes pounding our southern coasts indicate otherwise. "This is a year when nature has asserted her force. It really puts things into perspective," she says.
"Separation Anxiety," which opens on Friday, November 18, at the Icehouse, 429 West Jackson Street, features master works by ASU students, graduate teaching assistants and faculty members, and allows them to penetrate what can be a difficult market for new faces. Neubauer says she's grateful that alternative galleries like the Icehouse are opening their arms (and doors) to these up-and-coming artists, helping to make them "part of the contemporary aesthetics of the city."

Contributing sculptors utilized modern installation techniques to create moving, three-dimensional art that interacts with the viewer. Graduate student Allison Young's fiber sculpture is a good example. A mass of fleshy tentacles hangs in one corner, flowing down in a sea of colored fabric and mimicking the effects of a virus on surrounding cells. As Agent Smith pointed out in the original Matrix film, the action of a virus is much like the effect of the human race on our environment. We move to an area, overpopulate it and consume all of its natural resources -- just as Young's plush tentacles envelop the helpless "cells" of her piece.
Other works in the exhibition include a kinetic sculpture featuring birds in flight by Marco Rosichelli, and Holly Curcio's ceramic figures of the human body. Curcio's Thoughts & Desires shows the fragility of man in comparison to nature. The gray ceramic skin of the figure is cracked and worn, Curcio explains, because "we often consider ourselves a higher life form than plants and animals, [but] even we do not have control over our own birth and death. In this way, we are all part of the same cycle."
This year's theme, with its relevance to current global issues, is especially timely. "Are we a part of nature, or outside of it?" asks Neubauer. "These have been questions since the Enlightenment."
