If you're a current student, then you are probably well aware of the annual survey we, in the Multnomah administration, conduct called the "Student Satisfaction Survey". Our goal is to get an idea for how we're doing in serving our students so that we can learn what we're doing well and where we're falling short. (And then do something about it!)
The Response
This year we had a great response! Out of 891 total survey invitations sent, 364 of you completed the survey - that's a 41% response rate - which is really high!
(If you did not receive an invitation to take the survey in your email, then you should check to ensure that the address Multnomah uses for you is the one you check - and then check your spam box to make sure it wasn't blocked - but it would only help for next year, maybe...)
The iPod's
To thank our survey-takers we offered two prize drawings - an iPod Touch for those who completed the survey before Thanksgiving Break, and an iPod Shuffle for everyone who didn't win the first prize, but still completed the survey by the deadline on 12/2/09 (including the ones before Thanksgiving).
We did two blind drawings from all who qualified - there was a 1 in 364 chance of winning one of the prizes.
The Winners!
1st Place - iPod Touch
Robert Goff, M.Div student at the Seminary
2nd Place - iPod Shuffle
Laura Bristline, Junior at the Bible College
Thank You!
Our students mean so much to us - you all turn in to Alumni, and then we all get to hear of the amazing things God does through your life after you leave this place too! Telling us how we're doing on these surveys helps us to serve you better and to fulfill our mission in this world...
...So...Thank You!

Abdominal explorationLaparotomy; Exploratory laparotomy
Abdominal exploration is surgery to look at the organs and structures in your belly area (abdomen). This includes your:
- Appendix
- Bladder
- Gallbladder
- Intestines
- Kidney and ureters
- Liver
- Pancreas
- Spleen
- Stomach
- Uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries (in women)
Surgery that opens the abdomen is called a laparotomy.
Exploratory laparotomyis done while you are under general anesthesia, which means you are asleep and feel no pain.
The surgeon makes a cut into the abdomen and examines the abdominal organs. The size and location of the surgical cut depends on the specific health concern.
A biopsy can be taken during the procedure.
Laparoscopy describes a group of procedures that are performed with a camera placed in the abdomen. If possible, laparoscopy will be done instead of laparotomy.
Why the Procedure Is Performed
Your doctor may recommend a laparatomy ifimaging tests of the abdomen, such as x-rays and CT scans, have not provided an accurate diagnosis.
Exploratory laparotomy may be used to help diagnose and treat many health conditions, including:
- Cancer of the ovary, colon, pancreas, liver
- Endometriosis
- Gallstones
- Hole in the intestine (intestinal perforation)
- Inflammation of the appendix (acute appendicitis)
- Inflammation of an intestinal pocket (diverticulitis)
- Inflammation of the pancreas (acute or chronic pancreatitis)
- Liver abscess
- Pockets of infection (retroperitoneal abscess, abdominal abscess, pelvic abscess)
- Pregnancy outside of the uterus (ectopic pregnancy)
- Scar tissue in the abdomen (adhesions)
Risks of any anesthesia include the following:
- Severe medication reaction
- Problems breathing
Risks of any surgery include the following:
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Damage to nearby structures
Additional risks include incisional hernia.
Outlook (Prognosis)
You should be able to start eating and drinking normally about 2 - 3 days after the surgery. How long you stay in the hospital depends on the severity of the problem. Complete recovery usually takes about 4 weeks.

In 2005, Michael Hammond founded WorldArchitectureNews.com (WAN), which has become a reliable source of global architecture news and project reports. With major job growth in design and architecture projected globally in the coming decade, the field of possibilities is expanding beyond the Middle East and China for U.S.-based architects. As local markets evolve, Hammond has pinned his site's coverage to individual buildings as barometers for growth. "The project," he says, "remains the common denominator."
WAN was set up in 2005 to respond to a growing internationalism in architecture, since most news outlets were nationally focused. But a building is a building everywhere, and everyone understands that. That's how we communicate architecture. And we have the most wonderfully diverse readership.
Architectural practice and an architectural product are all about scale. Firms like RTKL or Gensler have offices all over the world and adjust their focuses accordingly. As you look at smaller firms, you see a range of different focuses at the local or national scale. There's a huge amount of work being carried out in the Philippines, Turkey, Thailand, Poland, Sri Lanka, and Nigeria, but you have to look at it in terms of risk—what kinds of firms can bear it, what's involved, and so on. It's riskier to work in Nigeria than in, say, China. Nigeria's opportunities are expanding, but it's whether or not you, as a practitioner, can limit your risk exposure.
The Middle East is, of course, hard to categorize—it's a very diverse place. Dubai's market matured very quickly, but places like Abu Dhabi were slower burns, so to speak. Dubai just shows what can happen and how volatile things can be. Think back to September 2008 when the property market crashed within the span of a week. Abu Dhabi weathered the storm—but that gets into a discussion of who's in power in those countries. I do notice, though, that the AIA and RIBA are expanding more and more beyond their stated geographical bounds. It's a good thing, I think—and it gets to a level of cooperation that can only be good for architecture.
To cover all of this, WAN delivers project news, and we have a very simple, objective model of reporting. Where we get more involved is with our awards program. I sit on a lot of its panels and when you're comparing two schools—one in London, let's say, and one in Nairobi—the judges get really taxed because the two markets and circumstances are so different. But, in the end, quality of design usually surfaces, and I think good design is something that allows all of us to share a discussion about architecture in spite of geography.?—As told to William Richards
WAN and AIA New York will co-host World Architecture Day 2013, Oct. 6–8. Learn more at worldarchitecturenews.com.?

At Least Four Victims In North Carolina Shooting
(Greenville, NC) -- At least four people are wounded after a suspected gunman opened fire in Greenville, North Carolina. The suspect has been shot by police and is described as an older male. Witnesses tell WNCT he seemingly started shooting at random. Police say the gunfire started at a local law firm and then stretched to a nearby Walmart.
There is no information on the condition of the victims. There have been no reports of any deaths. Police say it's an active crime scene, but they do not have an active shooting scene.

How important is it to actually make weight?
What are the consequences of missing weight in non-title fights? (considering most MMA purses are small anyway)
Is there enough deterrent?
Should there be more?
How important is it to actually make weight?
What are the consequences of missing weight in non-title fights? (considering most MMA purses are small anyway)
Is there enough deterrent?
Should there be more?
Very important to make weight. I guess an across the board percentage that increases with the amount of weight over is a big enough deterrent. Sliding scale from say 20% to 50% of purse
If you didn't see it with your own eyes, or hear it with your own ears, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth!
Think it depends on fighters level. Weight cutting is a art and some adjust to it faster then others.
Retired 2k and out.
I guess damage to a fighter's reputation is the main deterrent. As a one off, fair enough. But if a guy is missing regularly, or by large margins, it has to be a deterrent to promoters/fighters with regards to working with him/her in future. Without mentioning names, there are a number of fighters in the UK who have that reputation (and a couple more who are well on their way), and it has cost them fights... as I'm sure it will in the future.
Unfortunately, there are many promoters out there who will continue to book these guys regardless. I wouldn't go as far as to say that certain promoters/promotions *actively* encourage guys to not make weight... but there are certainly many that don't deter it, either by fudging weights or not releasing them and letting it slide.
I'm a fan of a sliding scale of fines for missing weight by certain margins - But as Mark said in the OP, with purses below the top end of the UK scene not being huge for the most part, it's maybe not the greatest of deterrents.
Also with regards to the OP - there are more than a few promoters/promotions in the UK that have let fighters who miss weight compete for titles.
Fighting, writing and mood lighting.
making weight IMO is as important and being fit to go 3/5 rounds! it is the minimum requirment to fight! - you have to be on weight and you have to be fit to fight! - simple as really, especialy if your being paid for it!!!!, those who dont commit to the weight desserve a good thrashing and % off of their purse! it disrespectful to the opponent and promotion!
I'm assuming we are talking about Pro contests here and not amateur.
Although I'm not a fighter, I have been about long enough to see the pain and sacrifice that you guys go through. I also know the pain and sacrifice that promoters and others go through to give you the stage to showcase your talents.
For me making weight, turning up ready to go and fighting to best of your ability is the basic requirements of a "Professional"fighter, this is part of your job, part of what you do and it is completely unprofessional and disrespectful to everyone involved if you can't achieve this. There are times when a fighter turns up over weight, and has to work to make weight on the day, this can be down to a number of factors but as long as they make weight within the rules then its not a problem, shit happens.
it is wrong for promoters to allow fighters to fight or cover up the fact that fighters are over weight and it is down to fighters coaches and management to out these promoters and stop working with them. We all want the sport to grow and succeed but it won't happen if everyone involved allows cheating to prosper (yip that's what it is).
So is making weight important, yes it is very important.
How do fighters feel about a second weigh in the next day, say 2 hours before the fight? I am seeing this being done more often now in Thai and Kickboxing, where the fighter can't put on more than 5-10%. Means that fighters fight closer to their natural weight rather than huge cuts to be big in the weight devision.
Hate seeing guys clearly a weight class or more than opponent come fight time. I know it can affect their stamina in longer fights, but the size & strength advantage can be huge.
Yeah I know the other could do it to but still hate. Would much prefer it if guys fought at, or at least close to their natural weight.
Same day weigh- ins are great. Unless there's money involved. Then folk will just riskier,more dangerous ways to cut and make weight. Look at the problems they have in bodybuilding with diuretics and health.
If someone has weight cutting down to an art and have put in the research and money to acheive then its hard to fault. The playing field is equal at weigh in just that the guy with better genetics or team may prosper by being a little heavier the next day
If you didn't see it with your own eyes, or hear it with your own ears, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth!
Weight cutting should be of MASSIVE importance, don't make weight, don't fight, should be that simple IMO, that would stop repeat offenders sort their weight out.
However a few fighters missing weight and not getting to fight could finish a show so that's never going to happen sp people will continue to get away with it.
As far as weight cuts go, I don't recon it makes much of a difference being a bit heavier or stronger, I gain roughly about 10kg between weigh in and the fight and it's never benefited me, in fact it has the opposite effect, because that extra weight and strength soon subsides when you start to gas out at the end of the first round.
Don't Take Life Too Serious Or You'll Die Stressed!!!

A roundup of trading on major world markets:
NEW YORK - Wall Street stocks slipped after more signs of tension emerged from federal budget talks in Washington.
The Dow Jones industrial average was down 83 points at 13,162 heading into the final hour of trade.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index was down 10 points at 1,418 and the Nasdaq composite index was down 25 points at 2,988.
In Washington, House Speaker John Boehner said the White House was so resistant to cutting government spending that it risked pushing the country off the "fiscal cliff."
The "cliff" is tax increases and government spending cuts that take effect on January 1 unless Congress and the White House reach a deal to avert them.
President Barack Obama said a deal was "still a work in progress."
Asked about Boehner's assertion that he was waiting to hear more from the president, Obama said only, "Merry Christmas."
Stocks fell despite the fourth straight weekly drop in applications for unemployment benefits.
Applications fell 29,000 last week to 343,000, the second-lowest this year, the Labor Department reported.
LONDON - Europe's main stock markets fell as investors digested more US Federal Reserve monetary easing and an EU deal to give the European Central Bank (ECB) supervisory powers over the banking sector.
Sentiment was soothed somewhat as the European Union also cleared long-delayed bailout funds needed to avert a potentially disastrous Greek debt default.
London's FTSE 100 index of top companies closed 0.27 per cent lower at 5,929.61 points, Frankfurt's DAX 30 index fell 0.43 per cent to 7,581.98 and in Paris the CAC 40 slipped by 0.10 per cent to 3,643.13 points.
HONG KONG - Asian stock markets were mixed as the US Federal Reserve announced fresh monetary easing and said it would not lift interest rates until unemployment was under control.
However, the head of the central bank, Ben Bernanke, said the looming fiscal cliff of huge tax hikes and deep spending cuts was already hitting the economy.
The yen continued its slide ahead of the weekend's general election in Japan that is expected to see a victory for the opposition, whose leader has vowed to press for more aggressive measures to kick-start growth.
Tokyo climbed 1.68 per cent, or 161.27 points, to an eight-month high of 9,742.73 as major exporters gained on the yen's dip.
Seoul was up 1.38 per cent or 27.33 points, at 2,002.77.
Hong Kong lost 0.26 per cent, breaking a three-day rally that saw the market hit a 16-month high. The index eased 57.77 points to close at 22,445.58.
Shanghai fell 1.02 per cent, or 21.25 points, to 2,061.48.
WELLINGTON - New Zealand shares fell as investors continued to take profits. The NZX 50 fell 20.53 points, or 0.5 per cent, to 3,974.72.

A kind soul from ABC took pity on my west coast self and sent me a clip of Nancy Grace from the east coast feed of Good Morning America today. When Nancy Grace is a trending topic on Twitter and it is not because she booked a boxing match with Casey Anthony then chances are it was not a good thing. In the mornings it is ok to have some spark and a little controversy. Dan Abrams and Nancy Grace in a tamer version of a death match is not what the network or the show's producers wanted and there were a whole lot of clicks about halfway through the argument. You don't want people to turn off or turn away from what you are programming. The thing is the producers should have known better than to start a Monday morning this way, but Nancy Grace is smart enough to know there is a own show Nancy Grace at night kind of way to be and an early morning people are just starting their week kind of way and not only did she cost GMA viewers she probably cost herself the chance to ever come back on the show again unless she agrees to really tone down the Nancy Grace-ness.
Of course Nancy could just be upset that the libel suit filed against her by Robert Skakel is being allowed to proceed. Nancy said that Skakel's DNA was found at the scene of the 1975 murder of Martha Moxley. No DNA was found at the scene.

GSA's Federal Technology Service receives Mailing Excellence Award from National Postal Forum
September 14, 2000
Contact: Bill Bearden (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC -- The U.S. General Services Administration's Federal Technology Service (FTS) was selected as the 2000 Government winner for the third annual Mailing Excellence Award, bestowed by the National Postal Forum (NPF), a not-for-profit educational corporation sponsored by the U.S. Postal Service.
This award honors outstanding performance and creativity in the field of direct mail. Winners are chosen in five possible categories, Business, Government, Nonprofit, eBusiness, and Multicultural. The award was presented yesterday in Anaheim, CA. Sandra Bates, Commissioner of FTS, accepted the award on behalf of FTS.
"We are honored to have received this esteemed one-of-a-kind award and will treasure it as a permanent symbol of achievement and excellence along with our partner, the U.S. Postal Service", said Commissioner Bates. "We at FTS have an ongoing commitment to deliver excellence to our customers and we are happy we are able to do that and look forward to continued partnership with the U.S. Postal Service."
This past year, FTS teamed with two of its industry partners, MCI WorldCom and US Sprint, to pilot a "Promotional Phone Card Pilot Program". The award recognizes a direct mail initiative by FTS, in partnership with USPS, to leverage one of its core telecommunications products (phone cards) for obtaining marketing research on customer satisfaction. The information gathered was used to build customer awareness, enhance customer loyalty, and generate additional sales.
NPF works as a partner with the USPS with the ultimate goal of a more efficient USPS that would thereby benefit the entire Postal customer universe. To accomplish this goal the NPF facilitates educational opportunities by bringing the USPS together with its customers, suppliers and business partners. The NPF and the Postal Service work closely together as partners to provide the most comprehensive and educational platform possible for meeting the needs of the mailing industry and postal customers.
FTS is equivalent to a Fortune 500 Company, employing over 1,300 employees nationwide and generating revenue in excess of $4 billion annually. FTS functions as a wholesale buyer and reseller of information technology and telecommunications services to the federal IT community. Using existing FTS contracts and other contractual vehicles, FTS offers a full range of IT and network products and services to other federal agencies. FTS also provides value-added contracting services and support, and is constantly adding new procurement vehicles, as technology and customer requirements change.

Q: My son ran into a celebrity on vacation and had him autograph his t-shirt with the Sharpie marker we packed for marking our belongings. We want to set the ink so it does not wash out. Any suggestions?
Janet G., Tallahassee, FL
A: Janet,
Before you wash the shirt, be sure to apply a heat setting to it. We suggest ironing the shirt or throwing it in the dryer for a few hot minutes. You can launder it, but in order to minimize the fading, heat should be applied first. The ink, just like any screen print, may fade after numerous washes but the initial heat setting may help protect the evidence that he met the real deal.
For future vacations, let me suggest the Sharpie Rub-a-Dub Laundry marker. The Rub-a-Dub Laundry marker marks permanent on cloth and stays permanent though washing and dry cleaning. It is great for marking anything that will be going through the wash. Our kids use it to label their belongings before going to summer camp. We also use it to separate the families' socks on laundry days.
If you have a question about Sharpie markers, post a message below or email us as firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks and be sure to check back to see if your answer gets published here!

Study: Work can interfere with breastfeeding
The sooner a mother goes back to work after having a baby, the less likely she is to breastfeed, according to a study by University of South Carolina researchers published in the latest journal of "Pediatrics," released this week.
Dr. Chinelo Ogbuanu, a 2010 PhD graduate of USC's Arnold School of Public Health, along with Arnold School faculty researchers, looked at both the initiation and duration of breastfeeding by new mothers.
"Results suggest that women who are out of work or on leave beyond the 13-week period are more likely to both initiate breastfeeding and to breastfeed longer," said Dr. Saundra Glover, associate dean for health disparities and social justice in the Arnold School and Dr. Ogbuanu's lead co-author on the publication. "Based on our findings, if women delay their return to work, then the prevalence of breastfeeding in the U.S. may increase."
As part of the research into the relationship between breastfeeding and work, Ogbuanu and her co-authors looked at information from 6,150 women who worked before giving birth. While Glover said the findings didn't surprise her, she said the research points to the need to consider longer, paid maternity leaves – something the U.S. Surgeon General has also supported.
"Many women, particularly women of color and lower socioeconomic status, cannot afford to be out of work on long, unpaid leave. Women are making a decision based on money rather than the health of their babies," Glover said. "The United States is the only developed country in the world without paid maternity leave. And when you look at infant mortality, we have the highest infant mortality rate of all developed countries."
Three of four mothers in the U.S. start out breastfeeding their babies, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's 2010 Breastfeeding Report Card. At the end of six months, breastfeeding rates fall to 43 percent and only 13 percent of babies are exclusively breastfed.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that breastfeeding continue for at least 12 months, and thereafter for as long as the mother and baby desire. Mothers stay out of work an average of 12.4 weeks after giving birth. The federal Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) protects a woman's job from being ceded to another employee for 12 weeks.
"Children who are breastfed are healthier. If the mother stays home longer she is more likely to breastfeed," Glover said. "Then, when she goes back to work and the children go to daycare, they are less likely to get sick or pick up childhood illnesses. One of the greatest benefits of breastfeeding is for the immediate health and survival of the infant."
Ogbuanu is now the senior maternal child health epidemiologist with the Maternal and Child Health Program in the Georgia Department of Community Health. Other USC public health faculty members involved with the study were Drs. James Hussey, Jihong Liu, and Janice Probst.
Study highlights:
Women who returned to work at 13 weeks or later were more likely to predominantly breastfeed longer than three months, compared to those who returned within six weeks. They were also 21 percent more likely to breastfeed — with or without supplemental formula — beyond three months.
Women who had not yet returned to work by the nine-month interview were 13 percent more likely to initiate breast-feeding compared with those who returned to work within the first six weeks. They also were 70 percent more likely to predominantly breastfeed beyond three months.

Taiwan Environmental Action Network (TEAN)
TEAN strives to increase Taiwan's involvement in international efforts on diverse environmental issues. Through collaborations with other international organizations, it also provides a support network for environmental protection efforts in Taiwan.
Ratings/Review of this resource:
P.O. Box 354
Florham Park , NJ 07932
Contact Person:
Jeff Hou
Detailed Information:
The environment has become a global issue that emphasizes international collaboration and consensus building. Unfortunately, under the present situation, Taiwan has no voice internationally. Because of regional conflict, political interference and self-isolation, Taiwan's participation and involvement in the global efforts for environmental protection have been limited. This lack of active participation in international environmental affairs has hampered Taiwan and will continue to do so as the world progress toward sustainable development in the twenty-first century. Subsequently, due to Taiwan's limited first-hand understanding of global environmental affairs, the severity of environmental problems is often underestimated and appropriate policy responses are often delayed. Moreover, it has been difficult for environmental issues in Taiwan to gain appropriate attention internationally. It is virtually impossible for Taiwan to contribute globally in environmental affairs since Taiwan is often absent from international forums where environmentalism is discussed. Taiwan's presence at environmental round-tables will enhance and amplify environmental discussions worldwide and play a role in environmental awareness in Taiwan. By relating Taiwan's environmental concerns to global concerns, Taiwan will benefit, as would the rest of the world. Local environmental affairs have become global ones; sustainable development is no longer just a local concern. In response to Taiwan's limited presence at environmental forum, a group of overseas Taiwanese students and activists, initiated the formation of Taiwan Environmental Action Network (TEAN). Those involved in TEAN are long-time activists in environmental movements both in Taiwan and worldwide. Several members are also students and scholars of environmental studies and sciences. Taiwan Environmental Action Network is an international grassroots organization that strives to increase Taiwan's involvement in international efforts on diverse environmental issues that concerns all people. We aim to work on collecting first-hand information to assist the Taiwanese society in moving toward sustainable development. As a member of the global village, TEAN shares a common vision with environmental organizations worldwide. Through international collaboration on environmental issues, we wish to cultivate friendship and wisdom, and together with worldwide environmentalist, create a just, peaceful and sustainable world.

Cats' McGuire strong in first win
Blue Jays right-hander yields just a hit over 6 2/3 innings
By Robert Emrich / Special to MLB.com | April 18, 2012 6:44 PM ET
The Blue Jays' No. 10 prospect allowed one hit over 6 2/3 innings to earn his first win of the year as Double-A New Hampshire blanked Binghamton, 2-0, on Wednesday.
McGuire, who fanned three and walked three, faced four over the minimum for the Fisher Cats. He retired eight in a row at one point while picking up his first victory since Aug. 2, when he allowed three runs over six innings for the Fisher Cats.
"It's very nice to get that first win out of the way for sure," McGuire said with a sigh. "Really I just did a good job keeping my fastball down in the zone, working both sides of the plate and working my offspeed off my fastball."
The only hit the 22-year-old right-hander allowed came in the second inning when Juan Lagares doubled with one out. A fielding error by shortstop Ryan Goins allowed Travis Ozga to reach, putting runners on the corner with one away. McGuire recovered to strike out Josh Rodriguez and got Juan Centeno to ground out to end the threat.
"I was actually completely willing to trade that run for outs," McGuire said. "It was great to get out of there without giving up any, but it was definitely not the first thing on my mind."
McGuire had struggled through his first two starts, allowing 12 runs over 10 innings. Entering play Wednesday, Eastern League batters were hitting .409 against the former first-rounder, who attributed the struggle to overly relying on his secondary pitches.
"In the first two outings, I was real quick to go to the breaking ball," McGuire said. "Tonight I didn't do that. I got a couple of ground balls in big situations and I let my defense work."
McGuire outpitched Zack Wheeler, the Mets' top prospect, who allowed a run on three hits while fanning eight over six innings. Going up against Wheeler never entered McGuire's mind, who believed his offense would get the job done.
"I have complete and total faith in our hitters and I knew it my job was just to keep us in the game for however long I was out there," McGuire said. "Our guys are going to swing the bats, so it was just a matter of time before they scored."
Clint Everts took over for McGuire, allowing a hit and recorded four strikeouts in 1 1/3 innings. Ronald Uviedo pitched a hitless ninth for his fourth save for the defending Eastern League champions.
Goins contributed an RBI single, while Kevin Howard doubled home a run for the Fisher Cats. Mike McDade was 2-for-3 with a run to raise his average to .354.

Between 2006 and 2010, institutions and individuals in the District of Columbia received $19.6 million from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Humanities Council of Washington, D.C., for projects that explore the human endeavor and preserve our cultural heritage.
Below are some examples.
- The Peabody Collection at the Georgetown Neighborhood Library, a special collection of documents, records, and photos of Georgetown's history, was nearly destroyed in a 2007 fire. A $30,000 emergency conservation grant was made available to the DC Public Library system for the recovery and restoration of the materials as well as to create a disaster preparedness plan for all DC Public Library buildings.
- The DC Community Heritage Project, a collaboration between the Humanities Council of Washington, DC and the DC Historic Preservation Office, began in 2005 as an effort to explore the social and cultural history of DC neighborhoods from the perspective of long-time residents and now consists of not only neighborhood studies, but also includes an annual symposium, grant initiatives, and a library of multimedia resources.
- The First Federal Congress Project at the George Washington University has received two grants totaling just over $330,000 for the work on volumes eighteen through twenty-two of the Documentary History of the First Federal Congress, 1789-1791. The first seventeen volumes are being prepared for online publication.
- A start-up grant of just under $50,000 was awarded to the Map of Jazz Musicians project, based at American University. The project is developing an interactive and freely accessible online tool that explores collaborations and connections between American jazz musicians.
- George Washington University received a total of nearly $710,000 through three grants to support the preparation and publication of the Eleanor Roosevelt Papers, a project to produce a comprehensive five-volume edition of her written and spoken works. Electronic imprints as well as hard copies are planned for all volumes and a website for the papers receives over 3 million hits each year.
- Archaeological and historical research of the Great Dismal Swamp on the border of Virginia and North Carolina—sometime home to a community of runaway slaves and the site of a failed real estate investment of George Washington's--is made possible with the assistance of a $200,000 research grant to American University.
- The Folger Shakespeare Library, home to the world's largest Shakespeare collection, received a $315,000 grant for a three-year project to create an online catalog of 18,000 volumes of the works of William Shakespeare. The project will also help de-acidify and create custom storage for thousands of these fragile items.
- The National Building Museum received a grant of $380,000 to support the planning and production of Designing Tomorrow: America's World's Fairs of the 1930s, an exhibition showing how six Depression-era world's fairs across the United States popularized modern design and forecast a world of streamlined trains, television, and talking robots.

Allergy testing - skinPatch tests - allergy; Scratch tests - allergy; Skin tests - allergy; RAST test
Allergy skin tests aretests used tofind out which substances cause a person to have an allergic reaction.
How the Test is Performed
There are three common methods of allergy skin testing.
The skin prick test involves:
- Placing a small amount of substances that may be causing your symptoms on the skin, most often on the forearm, upper arm, or back.
- Then, the skin is pricked so the allergen goes under the skin's surface.
- The health care provider closely watches the skin for swelling and redness or other signs of a reaction. Results are usually seen within 15-20 minutes.
- Several allergens can be tested at the same time.
The intradermal skin test involves:
- Injecting a small amount of allergen into the skin.
- Then the health care provider watchesfor a reaction at the site.
- This test is more likely to be used to find out if you are allergic to something specific, such as bee venom or penicillin.
Patch testing is a method to diagnose the cause ofskin reactions that occur after the substance touches the skin.
- Possible allergens are taped to the skin for 48 hours.
- The health care provider will look at the area in 72 - 96 hours.
How to Prepare for the Test
Before any allergy testing, the health care provider will ask questions about:
- Illnesses
- Where you live andwork
- Lifestyle
- Foods and eating habits
Allergy medicines can change the results of skin tests. Your doctor will tell you which medicines to avoid and when to stop taking them before the test.
How the Test Will Feel
Skin tests may cause very mild discomfort when the skin is pricked.
You may have symptoms such as itching, a stuffy nose, red watery eyes, or a skin rash if you allergic to the substance in the test.
Rarely, people can have a whole-body allergic reaction (called anaphylaxis), which can be life threatening. This usually only occurs with intradermal testing. Your health care provider will be prepared to treat this serious response.
Why the Test is Performed
Allergy tests are done to determinewhat substances are causing your allergy symptoms.
Your doctor may order allergy skin tests if you have:
- Hay fever (allergic rhinitis) and asthma symptoms that are notwell controlled with medicine
- Hives and angioedema
- Food allergies
- Skin rashes (dermatitis), in which the skin becomes red, sore, orswollen after contact with the substance
- Penicillin allergy*
- Venom allergy
*NOTE: Allergies to penicillin and closely related medicines are the only drug allergies that can be tested using skin tests. Skin tests for allergies to other drugs can be dangerous.
The prick skin test may also be used to diagnose food allergies. Intradermal tests are not used to test for food allergies because of high false-positive results and the danger of causing a severe allergic reaction.
Normal Results
A negative test result means there were no skin changes in response to the allergen. This negative reaction most often means that you are not allergic to the substance.
Rarely, a person may have a negative allergy test and still be allergic to the substance.
What Abnormal Results Mean
A positive result means you reacted to a substance. Your health care provider will see a red, raised area called a wheal.
Often, a positive result means the symptoms you are having are due to exposure to that substance. In general, a stronger response means you are more sensitive to the substance.
People can have a positive response to a substance with allergy skin testing, but not have any problems with that substance in everyday life.
Skin tests areusually accurate. However, if the dose of allergen is large, even people who are not allergic will have a positive reaction.
Your health care provider will consider your symptoms and the results of your skin test to suggest lifestyle changes you can make to avoid substances that may be causing your symptoms.

Bisons' Rottino slugs three homers
Versatile Mets farmhand surprises himself with power surge
By Ashley Marshall / Special to MLB.com | May 20, 2012 8:24 AM ET
The Major League veteran slammed a career-high three homers and plated five runs to lead the Bisons to an 11-5 romp over the visiting Indianapolis Indians.
The last time Rottino had a multi-homer game?
"Back in A-ball in '04 maybe? I know I had never hit more than two in a game and I don't think I'd hit two since then," he said.
"When I try to stay within my approach, I can drive the ball out of the ballpark. I'm a line drive hitter, but if I stay consistent with my mechanics, I can maybe hit more out."
Rottino homered to left-center field off starter Justin Wilson in the third inning, then connected for a two-run shot off Bryan Morris with two outs in the sixth. Making his second start of the season behind the plate, he took Kris Johnson deep for another two-run blast in the eighth.
"[Wilson] was throwing hard and moving it around," Rottino said of his first homer. "It was a two-strike count and I got a slider that he hung a little bit and I was able to put a good swing on it."
Rottino, who signed with the Mets as a Minor League free agent last November, was just as aggressive the rest of the night.
"[Morris] had a hard slider," he said. "He threw two sliders to get to 1-1, and when someone is throwing that hard you're looking for a fastball. It was up just a tick and I hit that to left-center, too.
"[The third] was a changeup with a runner on third with less than two outs, so I was trying to drive him home. [Johnson] left a changeup out a little bit and I caught it out in front."
The 32-year-old Wisconsin native quadrupled his home run tally for the season while raising his Triple-A average to .316. His other longball this year came in a 4-3 loss to Lehigh Valley on April 24, 10 days before he was called up to New York.
The five RBIs fell one shy of a career high, set last season in the Venezuelan Winter League.
Rottino became the fourth player to hit three homers at Coca-Cola Field, joining Jeff Manto (1997), Dusty Wathan (2005) and current teammate Valentino Pascucci (2010). It was the second three-homer game in the International League this season. Toledo's Brad Eldred accomplished the feat on April 24 at Columbus.
The career night came 24 hours after Rottino went 0-for-5 to end a 20-game hitting streak. But he said he felt much better Saturday than he did throughout the streak.
"I've been working with hitting coach George Greer and just trying to stay with my approach and not do too much," said Rottino, who has seen time in left field, right field and behind the plate. "I was trying not to do too much, stay short to the baseball and not muscle up. That's when my swing breaks down ... and the big muscles take over.
"That 20-game streak, I was not swinging the bat that well. The mechanical changes with George came together tonight. The night before, my mechanics broke down a little bit and that resulted in the 0-for-5."
Pascucci, Matt Tuiasosopo and Jordany Valdespin also went yard for the Bisons, whose 53 homers are nine more than Columbus and more than twice the total of seven other IL teams. The six homers on Saturday were one shy of the team record.
Rottino has hit 77 homers in 1,079 games over 10 Minor League seasons. He slugged 17 with Class A Beloit in 2004, his first year of full-season ball, but has not eclipsed 12 since then and has reached double figures only twice.
Rottino has hit .176 with four RBIs in 29 big league games with the Brewers, Marlins and Mets. In his most recent stint with the Mets, he was 0-for-4 in three games.
Justin Hampson (2-1) allowed a hit and a walk over 2 1/3 innings of scoreless relief to earn the win. Bisons starter Jeurys Familia allowed four runs -- three earned -- on five hits over 3 2/3 innings. The Mets' No. 3 prospect walked four and struck out three.

Surgeons did not have any specialized clothing until the 20th century. Surgeons could wear their street clothes and used an apron to prevent bloodstains on the clothes. As everyone become more aware of the spread of disease and germs surgeons began to add more to their wardrobe such as masks and gloves. This is also why the white surgical uniform became popular. This was done to emphasize cleanliness. Then the combination of the bright lights in an operating room and the white caused eyestrains on the surgeons and scrubs where then changed to green to provide a better contrast. In 1970 the attire was a short sleeve V-neck shirt and drawstring pants much like it is today. They were labeled as surgical greens because of the color. Now scrubs don't have to be green and it is not uncommon to see surgical scrubs of other colors or even patterns depending on the hospital.
Today you can find surgical scrubs in a number of places if you don't automatically receive them from the hospital. Scrubs are definitely an important part of the medical field and are needed. Visit Marcus Uniforms to find a variety of scrubs.

Veteran escapes nursing home to join D-Day festivities
An 89-year-old English World War II veteran escaped from his nursing home to participate in D-Day commemorative services.
Although he was given instructions not to leave the nursing home, according to Sky News, at 10:30 am in Hove, Sussex, England the veteran "left wearing his war medals covered by a grey jacket" and took a train to Normandy in France.
A police search began after the veteran had not been seen for 12 hours. Eventually, the veteran was located by a younger war veteran who called the nursing home to inform them of his location.

BC Falls Short on Senior DayNovember 3, 2012
Brevard, N.C.- The Brevard College Tornados volleyball team (9-17, 1-14 SAC) fell to the Lincoln Memorial Railsplitters (19-10, 11-4 SAC) in straight sets in Boshamer Gymnasium on Saturday afternoon, 25-8, 25-23, 25-17.
Blaire Fowler tallied her seventh straight match with double-figure kills, pacing Lincoln Memorial with a game-high 14 kills. Jazzy Oates and Allison Beavers were not far behind with ten kills each in leading the Railsplitters to their third straight win.
The Tornados came out a little sluggish in the first set, allowing Lincoln Memorial to start the set on a 12-2 run. BC took three of the next five points to make it 14-5, but the Railsplitters responded by taking the next eight points to put the set out of reach.
BC took the first point of the second set and stayed within striking distance for the entire set. The Tornados used a 5-0 run to pull within a point of LMU at 24-23. Fowler, however, delivered a set-winning kill to lift the Railsplitters.
Brevard had an early 6-5 lead in the third set before LMU went on a 5-0 run to shift the momentum in their favor. The Tornados couldn't recover, and a BC service error sealed the win for Lincoln Memorial.
Joy Oswalt and Camille Cameron each had eight kills to head the Tornados attack.
Following the game, BC seniors Jamie Atkinson, Ashley Wilson, and Sydney Yeomans were honored in a postgame ceremony as part of Senior Day.
The Tornados will take the court for their final home match of the season on Tuesday night as they host the Bears of Lenoir-Rhyne at 7 p.m. Lincoln Memorial, meanwhile, will visit the Carson-Newman Eagles on Tuesday night at 7 p.m.

CHICAGO -- An audit by the Inspector General's office in Chicago has verified that red light cameras are installed with an eye more toward revenue and than safety. Long the scourge of operators and route drivers, the report is withering in its assessment of the largest red light camera network in the nation. While the report covers only Chicago, many have seen its criticism as applicable to municipal red light camera networks across the country.
In an open letter to Chicago's mayor, clerk, treasurer, council and residents, Inspector General Joseph Ferguson wrote: "CDOT was unable to substantiate its claims that the city chose to install red-light cameras at intersections with the highest angle crash rates in order to increase safety. Neither do we know, from the information provided by CDOT, why cameras in locations with no recent angle crashes have not been relocated, nor what the city's rationale is for the continued operation of any individual camera at any individual location."
The IG's report also took the city to task for a lack of recordkeeping and analysis for the program that costs tens of millions of dollars a year and generates tens of millions more in revenue. According Ferguson, Chicago's Department of Transportation was unable to provide data on why cameras in locations with no recent accidents have not been relocated.
The controversial report was initiated at the request of six members of Chicago's City Council seeking to verify that camera placement was based on reducing accidents.

Category theory
From HaskellWiki
1 Defintion of a category
A category consists of two collections:
Ob, the objects of
Ar, the arrows of (which are not the same as Arrows defined in GHC)
Each arrow f in Ar has a domain, dom f, and a codomain, cod f, each chosen from Ob. The notation means f is an arrow with domain A and codomain B. Further, there is a function called composition, such that is defined only when the codomain of f is the domain of g, and in this case, has the domain of f and the codomain of g.
In symbols, if and , then .
Also, for each object A, there is an arrow , (often simply denoted as 1 or id, when there is no chance of confusion).
1.1 Axioms
The following axioms must hold for to be a category:
- If then (left and right identity)
- If and and , then (associativity)
1.2 Examples of categories
- Set, the category of sets and set functions.
- Mon, the category of monoids and monoid morphisms.
- Monoids are themselves one-object categories.
- Grp, the category of groups and group morphisms.
- Rng, the category of rings and ring morphisms.
- Grph, the category of graphs and graph morphisms.
- Top, the category of topological spaces and continuous maps.
- Preord, the category of preorders and order preserving maps.
- CPO, the category of complete partial orders and continuous functions.
- Cat, the category of categories and functors.
- the category of data types and functions on data structures
- the category of functions and data flows (~ data flow diagram)
- the category of stateful objects and dependencies (~ object diagram)
- the category of values and value constructors
- the category of states and messages (~ state diagram)

David Goffin of Belgium rallied to beat fifth-seeded Dominic Thiem of Austria 4-6, 6-1, 6-3 on Saturday to win his first ATP tour title at the Kitzbuehel Cup.
The 78th-ranked Goffin stretched his unbeaten streak to 20 matches since his first-round defeat at Wimbledon, including three challenger events he won in July.
After losing the opening set, Goffin saved two break points at 1-1 in the second before reeling off seven straight games for a 2-0 lead in the third. He broke the Austrian again to close out the win. Both players appeared in their first career ATP final.
Goffin is the first Belgian to win a tournament since Xavier Malisse triumphed in Delray Beach in 2007.

Amenorrhea means not menstruating or having a period. There are two types of amenorrhea: primary and secondary. When a girl reaches age 16 and has not had a period, she may have primary amenorrhea. When a woman who has been having periods misses three in a row, she is considered to have secondary amenorrhea. Secondary amenorrhea is more common than primary amenorrhea.
Amenorrhea is a sign of another condition, not a disease itself. Many things can cause it, from low body weight to hormonal imbalances to problems with the pituitary gland. Usually the underlying condition is not serious.
Symptoms of primary amenorrhea may include:
Symptoms of secondary amenorrhea may include:
Hot flashes, mood changes, depression, and vaginal dryness are common with estrogen deficiency.
Both primary and secondary amenorrhea can have several causes.
Primary amenorrhea
Secondary amenorrhea
Your doctor may ask you to take a pregnancy test, then do a physical exam, which will include an internal pelvic exam. Your doctor may also order lab tests to check your hormone levels and see how your thyroid is working. Other tests may include computerized tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or ultrasound.
Your doctor will see which treatment is right for you based on what's causing the problem. Treatments include hormone therapy, psychological counseling and support, and surgery, among others.
Your health care provider may suggest the following:
Staying at a proper weight and exercising the right amount can keep your body healthy. Other alternative therapies may help your body make and use hormones properly.
Be sure to eat a healthy diet: Eat fewer processed foods, and eat foods with heart-healthy fats (unsaturated fats) rather than saturated fats. Avoid caffeine and alcohol. Eat more whole grains, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids found in cold-water fish, nuts, and seeds. Diets that are very low in fat can raise your risk of amenorrhea. In addition, these supplements may help:
Progesterone is sometimes available as an over-the-counter oral supplement. However, this is a hormone that should never be taken without your doctor's supervision.
The use of herbs is a time-honored approach to strengthening the body and treating disease. Herbs, however, can trigger side effects and can interact with other herbs, supplements, or medications. For these reasons, take herbs only under the supervision of a health care provider.
Most of the herbs listed below have not been studied specifically for amenorrhea, but have been used traditionally. Many act like the hormone estrogen in the body. Talk to your doctor before taking them, and avoid these herbs if you have a history or family history of cancers associated with estrogen. That includes breast, cervical, uterine and ovarian cancer.
Wild yam is sometimes said to be a natural source of progesterone, but that is not true. Although it was once used to make progesterone in the laboratory, the body cannot make progesterone from wild yam.
Avoid blue cohosh (Caulophyllum thalictroides). This toxic herb should not be used without strict medical supervision.
There have been few studies examining the effectiveness of specific homeopathic remedies. Professional homeopaths, however, may recommend treatments for amenorrhea based on their knowledge and clinical experience. Before prescribing a remedy, homeopaths take into account a person's constitutional type -- your physical, emotional, and intellectual makeup.
The following help increase circulation and relieve pain from pelvic congestion:
Acupuncture is believed to improve hormonal imbalances that can go along with amenorrhea and related conditions, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). A few small studies of women with fertility problems, which are sometimes connected with amenorrhea, suggest that acupuncture may help promote ovulation.
Acupuncturists treat people with amenorrhea based on an individualized assessment of the excesses and deficiencies of qi located in various meridians. Acupuncturists believe that amenorrhea is often associated with liver and kidney deficiencies, and treatment often focuses on strengthening function in these areas.
Becoming pregnant may be difficult or impossible. Amenorrhea also may cause pregnancy complications.
Amenorrhea can also raise the risk of developing osteoporosis.

A late goal by senior Emilie Fillion lifted the Wright State women's soccer team to a 1-0 season-opening win over Ohio Friday night at Alumni Field.
Both teams had opportunities in the first half, with the Raiders attempting eight shots compared to six for the Bobcats, but both came away empty as the contest remained scoreless.
It stayed that way until the 86:24 mark when Fillion connected on a shot from the right side of the box that went over the head of Ohio goalkeeper Mattie Liston and into the net. Freshmen Natalie Sedlock and Kalee Thompson were each credited with an assist.
Junior goalkeeper Brooke McCurdy recorded the shutout as she posted three saves.
Wright State returns to action on Monday, August 20, with another home match, this time against Mount Vernon Nazarene starting at 7:00.

LONG BEACH - A ballot initiative that would roll back nonpublic safety employee salaries by two years inched ahead this week.
On Tuesday, the City Council reviewed potential ballot language for the measure, which was proposed after the city's largest union, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, rejected a pension reform agreement in August.
According to an analysis, the initiative would save $29 million per year, $9.4 million of it in the city's cash-strapped general fund.
Council members also authorized City Manager Pat West to continue to meet with labor representatives on the possible election even as negotiators try to strike a deal to stave off going to voters in a spring special election.
Mayor Bob Foster said he wouldn't push the ballot measure if the IAM agrees to pension givebacks.
"I do not prefer to do pension reform or any other kind of employment reform this way, but it does need to be done, I'm committed to it, and if we can't reach an agreement I will do everything I can to make sure it's on the ballot," Foster said.
The IAM offered a counterproposal last month that was similar to one the about 3,600-member union previously nixed.
Workers would receive a 7percent wage increase that remains in the IAM's current contract, retroactive to Oct. 1. They would then return 6 percent of their salaries to the city to boost their share of pension costs from 2 percent to a full pickup of 8 percent.
New hires would receive reduced benefits, with 2 percent of their salaries accruing as pension for each year worked, pay a pension cost pickup of 7 percent and be eligible to retire at age 60. Current employees would continue to get 2.5 percent of salary each year and retire at 55.
The IAM's proposal also sought a guarantee of no further layoffs among represented employees for the next year. The city's version did not include the provision.
Long Beach has not yet responded to the IAM offer.
The previous deal was expected to save $3.9 million in the general fund and $12.2 million across all funds in the fiscal year that began Oct. 1.
Anti-fraud campaign
Long Beach is launching an anti-fraud campaign to educate employees, vendors and the public about the importance of stopping fraud against the city.
The effort, announced by City Auditor Laura Doud, is called "Let's Be Clear About Stopping Fraud" and coincides with International Fraud Awareness Week, Nov. 11-17.
The fraud awareness and prevention campaign includes a new fraud policy adopted by the City Council on Tuesday to be inserted into the city's employee and elected official ethics guide. Fliers issued by the City Auditor's Office will also give examples of possible city-related fraud such as a vendor submitting a false billing to the city or a citizen not receiving a receipt when paying for a city license or permit.
"I recognize that most city employees approach their service to the public with integrity," Doud said in a statement.
"However, it is important to acknowledge that fraud, waste and abuse can and does occur, so we need the help and cooperation of all city employees and residents to report suspected fraud against the city."
In September, a former employee of the Long Beach Animal Care Services Bureau was sentenced to three years in state prison for stealing $600,000 during her career with the department.
Jongluck Mutrais, 59, was ordered to repay the money in restitution to the city for her crime, a felony.
Suspected fraud against Long Beach can be confidentially reported at a 24-hour hotline at 888-Fraud-07 (888-372-8307) or online at www.cityauditorlauradoud.com.

strictly tags and throwups everywhere and anywhere, bitch.
I like both for different reasons. Tags are fast for territory. Throw-ups take a little while longer, but are maybe more aesthetically pleasing, and pieces are my favorite, but can be tedious, and definitely not for covering a lot of ground at once. ACtually I just wanted to make the longest run-on sentence I could think of.
Probably right now I'm working mainly on doing tags and throws, however I usually sketch all my peices and do my peices legally somewhere.
double post sorry
you NEED to do them all, if you don't then what good are you?
Throws the best quick and simple
i could do all but i mostly do taggs and throws cuz they're fast to do for those on-the-run occasions.

Anti-Graffiti Effort Moves to
An outbreak of graffiti in San Fransisco has been quelled, for now.
Neighborhood and city leaders are considering ways to prevent the rash of graffiti that marred several hundred
garages, houses and businesses last winter. Some of their proposals are creative. Some are punitive. All stem
from a belief that graffiti is ugly, intimidating and criminal.
"It is not urban art," said Police Capt. Mark Sundermeier. "Plain and simple, it's thuggery."

Only five QBs have more past two seasons. That extension for Romo will be a three-year deal. Don't get caught up in the numbers. Flacco is the mad bomber and Romo isn't.

I will however (when i move over to do some mma) do a night of judo and possibly 1 night of wrestling per week to help my mma game. I feel that somebody who jumps into mma straight away will get, good at everything. Whereas I would like to pay attention to my stand up, and my ground game, so i am very competent and accomplished in BJJ and thai boxing when i start MMA.
Also I feel it is a lot to take on at once to jump into mma and some people dont take to it without a good martial arts background of some sort. When i do start some mma (most likely when i get my blue belt in BJJ) I will encorporate wrestling, thai, judo and my BJJ. one night a week if thats all i can do.

The U.S. Navy to Deploy AT&T 9-1-1 Routing and Management Service Nationwide
AT&T 9-1-1 Routing and Management Service to Improve Emergency Communication for the U.S. Navy
Dallas, Texas, August 09, 2012
AT&T* has been awarded a contract by the U.S. Navy to deploy a nationwide 9-1-1 Routing and Management Service (9-1-1 RMS) call-routing and handling solution.
Under the contract, AT&T will be working with the U.S. Navy's emergency communications department to deploy the 9-1-1 RMS network to meet key emergency communication requirements, which are based on the National Emergency Number Association (NENA) i3 standard for next generation 9-1-1 networks. The highly secure service will route emergency calls from Naval facilities in the continental U.S to one of six Regional Dispatch Centers, where calls will be answered using state-of-the-art equipment and services.
This innovative solution provides significant advantages to the Navy in handling emergency conditions, and will provide the foundation for future capabilities as envisioned in the i3 standard. With AT&T next-generation innovation, the six Regional Dispatch Centers can create perimeters around emergencies in each of the 90+ bases.
The solution will provide:
- Innovative call center operator tools to respond to calls and to dispatch first responders faster by giving them the ability to:
- Gain quick access to caller information
- Generate reports on call handling
- The ability to re-route calls from one Naval Dispatch Center to another in case of natural disaster or other catastrophic event. If one of the six Regional Dispatch Centers is damaged in a disaster and unable to receive calls the system is designed to automatically re-route those calls to another location for processing. This makes sure that constituents in the impacted area who need help are able to connect with first responders and receive the care they require.
- Automatic transfers of calls made during a catastrophe that would normally be disconnected. If a constituent is in the middle of a conversation with a 9-1-1 operator and a natural disaster or other event happens that would normally cause the call to disconnect, the call is re-routed to another Naval Dispatch Center without being dropped. This allows the caller to maintain a continuous conversation with operators during a critical moment.
"We're honored to deliver services that can aid in an emergency, especially to those who are in service to our country," said John Klebonis, Vice President – Department of Defense Segment, AT&T Government Solutions. "AT&T was an integral part of launching the original 9-1-1 services, so it is fitting that we are now providing the next generation of 9-1-1 to the U.S. Navy to bring the emergency service up to today's standards and beyond."
