My trip to the Philippines was so like many other unintended, but this time I did not touch a single popular festivities, I could not get any information about schedules in theaters or student performances, not a single representation at the state theatres, nothing more apart that concerts and dance (with companies and artists from abroad), and therefore I accepted that I had no encouragement to see and listen to any Musical in Filipino version. I was looking for history, theater tradition, I read a bit and found they had a theatre, a building, which was recognized as one of the most beautiful and important buildings of Philippines, The Metropolitan Theater.
Manila's Metropolitan Theater is located in the heart of the capital, now displaced as a care-free zone full of dirtiness, a zone contaminated by noise and gases from cars, contaminated by that life of a city that does not stop his movement. Hundreds of years ago there were other major theaters in the same place, maybe a few meters away, and the area was recognized as an important center of cultural activities. Then, in the 30s of last Century, was designed and built this theatre as their national theater, a building that was on a par with those of the richest world capitals. Manila lived an unparalleled wealth since the beginning of the Century, the city was redesigned, increased both the quality of their buildings as their services. There was much money, it was rich, so European artists (Filipino and foreigners) could be paid and many of them came to build, sculpt, paint and perform.
The Metropolitan Theater was designed with the most modern from the new architectural era, the Art Deco. With its vast global expansion, Art Deco could sustain the purity of the style born in France and be mixed with characteristics and specific details to each region's culture . That has been one of my most pleasant experiences while traveling, seeing different types of Art Deco buildings in the world, from Miami to Paris, from Shanghai to Mexico City, from Beirut to Bangkok or in this case in Manila.

After the war and a total independence of the Philippines, the theater could be rebuilt in the early 70's by those gods-chairmen (and chairwomen) of the archipelago, "Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos", who took over the nation for several decades. However, it was third world-kind remodeling, the theater again close for lack of care in the 90's.

During my visit there in November 2008, I saw a building with many dirty and semi destroyed parts, apparently home of some street sellers and vagrants, and with government offices at the back. I understand that new remodeling works have begun, but that works are slow and apparently surrounded by an aura of corruption, but there is a hope in them. (2)
The chaos of the city, their lack of care and the area, it makes me doubt about the functionality of this remodeling, nothing can stand up clean, beautiful and dignified in this place (as you will see in the video).
In my video I tried to show both the beauty of the theatre as the real situation in which it remains, I made the first shots in the noise of the city around it and then changed for a background music, I thought we could enjoy the beauty of the building with a Fauré's piece as a background.

Creating a strategic alliance is becoming a popular alternative to hiring workers to secure labor on farms. Here's what you need to know to form one.
Dale Swanstrom was having a hard time securing labor on his farm. "I tried a hired man in the past. It didn't work," says Swanstrom who farms 800 acres and runs a 170-sow operation in Beresford, SD.
So in 1995, Swanstrom, 42, tried a different approach from the conventional employer-employee relationship. He offered John Bovill, a neighbor 15 years his junior, a partnership in his hog operation.
"He swaps labor for use of my machinery, buildings and facilities," Swanstrom says. New view on labor. Swanstrom is part of a growing segment of farmers who are replacing help-wanted ads with business contracts to secure labor on their farms. These farmers usually are between the ages of 35 and 55. They want to expand their business but lack the manpower to handle the additional acres or animals.
What's more, unlike the generation before them, their sons or daughters may not be interested in joining in the business. As a result, they explore an alliance with a young person outside the immediate family.
"It is hard to find good people, especially someone who wants to become an operator," says Dr. William Edwards, extension farm management specialist with Iowa State University. "So this is a good way to attract them into it. Psychologically, it carries a higher prestige than working for a wage because they are becoming part of the management."
It takes two. Partnering with another person can do more than provide labor. These young recruits may also be more motivated than traditional wageworkers because they have a stake in the business. "When you own half a baby pig, you are going to take better care of all the litter," Swanstrom says.
The pairing also can make the entire business more efficient. For example, Swanstrom has been able to double his sow herd now that he has Bovill's help. And each sow is now producing more pigs because of the better care.
A less tangible benefit is that these arrangements give established farmers the chance to give something back to agriculture. "Farmers have the obligation to bring up another generation of farmers for the industry to survive," Swanstrom says. "Helping a young person begin farming is a reward in itself."
Is it for you? There are a variety of legal entities you can form to bring a new person into your operation. These include enterprise partnership, limited liability partnership, general partnership, S corporation, limited liability company and a limited liability corporation.
All fall under the category of a "strategic alliance," according to Mike Fassler, attorney and vice president of Salisbury Management Services in Eaton Rapids, MI. "It is a union between two people who have a common interest," Fassler says. "In this case, the producer has an interest in labor and the other person has an interest in building equity."
Whether such an alliance makes sense for you is basically a question of economics, Fassler says. If labor is limited and impeding your ability to access a market, to grow or to operate economically, then you may be better off economically to form one. Another indicator is if you are underutilizing your capital-intensive resources like equipment, buildings or land.
However, even if you fit those cases, it doesn't guarantee the alliance will be economically feasible, Fassler warns. The alliance needs to generate enough revenue to support two families. The only way you can find out if it will do that is by doing a thorough financial analysis of your business. You may find that you need to reinvest or expand your business to get the arrangement started.
There are resources that can help you make those determinations. The National Farm Transition Network, coordinated through Iowa State University's Beginning Farmer Center, consists of farm transition programs throughout the Midwest that help link beginning and established farmers.
To find the program nearest you, call Iowa State's Beginning Farmer Center at 800/447-1985. Or, if you have access to the Internet, the National Farm Transition Network's Web site (www.exnet.iastate.edu/pages/ bfc/national/homepage.htm) has a listing of programs in each state.
Size up your prospects. The next step is to find the right person. Most farm transition programs keep a database of candidates that you can review.
Once you find several that interest you, the program can help arrange an interview. The interview should cover all of the questions you normally would ask when considering someone for a job, says John Baker, an attorney and administrator of Iowa's Beginning Farmer Center. These include:
Experience/education: What knowledge and skills can the candidate bring to the business? How much training has he or she had?
Long-term goals: Where does the person see himself or herself in 10 years? 20 years? Are those goals in line with yours?
Level of commitment: How long has the candidate stayed in previous jobs? How many times has he or she changed jobs?
Communication skills: Does the person communicate well? Is he or she willing to communicate?
Character: Is the candidate's personality compatible with yours? How does he or she treat others? Do you feel comfortable? What does your gut instinct tell you about this person? If your instinct says it isn't right, it probably isn't, Fassler says.
Core values: Does this person have a business philosophy and behavior that are similar to yours? Do you think alike?
Financial stability: Does the candidate have a good credit history?
Be prepared to answer the same tough questions posed by the person you are interviewing. Baker says, "If there are nonfarming heirs, the candidate also needs to know if there's opportunity to buy the business or if all the assets will go to the children and the partner gets nothing."
If either of the parties is unwilling to answer these questions, experts agree it could be a red flag that the relationship may not work.
Take a test drive. Baker recommends you hire the prospect as an employee for the first six months to get a sense of how the arrangement will work. That's what Steve Fisher of Grand Junction, IA, did with his partner-to-be, Brian Sandage. Sandage started out hourly, then was offered a salary and benefits, then eventually a partnership in a limited liability company formed around a new hog-finishing site.
"I was going to have to build an additional finishing site anyway for expansion," Fisher says. "So I offered him this opportunity to get into the business, also."
The limited liability company finishes pigs for Fisher's 550 sow farrow-to-finish operation, which is set up as a corporation. The arrangement works like any other custom-finishing contract, Fisher says. The corporation retains ownership of the hogs and pays for feed and vet services. In turn, the limited liability company provides buildings, management, utilities and labor.
"For now, I am providing the collateral to secure the loan for the buildings, and he is providing sweat equity to run the operation," Fisher says. Once the buildings are paid off, Sandage will get half the profits in addition to the regular salary and benefits he gets from Fisher's corporation. "Someday, I may sell the whole thing to him," Fisher says.
Put it in writing. Both parties in the alliance need to draft a written agreement that outlines what each is agreeing to do. It should cover who does what, who pays for what, and how profits and losses are divided. Such provisions will reduce conflict later on.
Joy Johnson, administrator of Nebraska's Land Link program, says the hardest part is figuring how income is divided and how risk is shared. "What I advise farmers is to make themselves a list," Johnson says. "Write down all of the expenses that go into running the operation and place three columns over the top: one column for the total operation, one for the older person and a third for the younger person. Decide who will pay what expense."
This will require that you assign values to land and equipment. "Generally, those are the two things the older person is putting in," Johnson says. "If the younger person had those, he wouldn't need you." You can get those values by looking at current rental rates or cash rents in your area.
Next, list input expenses like feed, seed and fertilizer and decide who pays what. The younger farmer may need to take out an operating loan to pay, but that is usually part of his or her contribution.
Next, estimate labor hours. Include labor rates and who will supply what labor. Rates should be adjusted to the task. "For example, if [the task] is on the management or marketing end, it makes sense to give it a higher rate," Johnson says.
University extension agents trained in farm management are a good source for establishing labor rates and determining how many hours go into a certain type of operation.
Get a lawyer. All the experts agree that, once both parties have agreed to a written plan, you should take it to an attorney and have a legal document drawn up.
The attorney can put a legal name on the alliance. This is important because you will be held to the rules and tax laws of the legal entity you form.
Going to an attorney will also help you know your rights under Amendment E, recently passed in some states like South Dakota and Nebraska. "It basically prohibits the use of business structures like limited liability partnerships or limited liability corporations unless it is a family farm," says Thad Olsen, agricultural finance and loan program specialist at the South Dakota Department of Agriculture.
For the operation to be considered a family farm, the parties have to be actively participating in farming on it, Olsen says. "The intent is to keep the large corporations from coming in and owning livestock."
Johnson says such laws should not be inhibitors to working with a beginning farmer. "In Nebraska, the 51% shareholder needs to participate in the day-to-day operations of the farm," she says. "And these gentlemen are planning to do that anyway."
Finally, the attorney also can draw up a plan for leaving the operation. Fisher had such a plan built into his contract that protects both parties. "The limited liability company is set up so I have ultimate control," Fisher says. "I can buy him out at an agreed value. He is also protected."
Fisher says developing a long-term working relationship is not an option for everyone because of different management styles and working philosophies.
"Some producers think they have to have it all for themselves," he says. "But in the right situation, it can help get quality labor long term."

Cue the trumpets, toss the confetti, and raise your glass, it's time to celebrate the rapidly approaching end of NaNo.
About an hour ago I typed my two favorite words – "The End" – and uploaded my final word count and manuscript for validation. As a NaNo "winner", I have the lovely graphic you see over to the left and a 50,007 word manuscript that can best be described as "a big hot mess."
My NaNo got off to a slow start this year (I may have slept through a few writing sessions), and there have been a few days with less than stellar word counts, but being off work last week gave me a chance to really focus on writing and get a large number of words on the page that can probably best be described as "quantity" rather than "quality." There are most certainly plot holes you could drive a truck through, and it's littered with notes like "something needs to happen here," but the draft is done.
Once the excitement of finishing the draft cools, it's time to think about what to do next. Continue reading

As we hit the halfway point this season -- 12 hours after the beginning of Day 6 -- we're treated to this hit-and-miss episode with two very cool twists that ratchet up the overall quality of the episode immensely.
The introduction of Curtis's replacement, Mike Doyle (played by Rick Schroder), was rather overdone and at times a little cheesy. Did we really need the exposition about how annoying Doyle was in Denver? And Doyle's prodding and bickering with the analysts seemed completely unnecessary and forced. Perhaps Schroder will get a little more comfortable in the role as the season progresses (and will start looking a little less like Mark Hamill in Return of the Jedi). Right now we feel like we're being force-fed a persona, complete with Milo saying to Morris, "You thought I was a pain in the ass." Show us how good an agent Doyle is and why people should put up with him -- don't just tell us about it.
Jack was nearly nonexistent this episode, but his small bits were entertaining, as usual. The trick with the belt was very cool, feeling a little Indiana Jones-ish. There were enough strong storylines this episode that Jack's absence wasn't very noticeable. Since he seems to be a little injured, we expect his involvement will be a little lessened the next hour or two as well, so here's hoping the other storylines and characters continue to keep things going.
Powers Boothe gave a great performance this episode as his Vice President Daniels allowed his true colors to show. Pressuring Lennox to lie about Assad's involvement, threatening an Arab country with a full military attack, and sanctioning the use of force on the Russian consulate&#Array; Daniels has made more morally ambiguous decisions in just one hour than the two President Palmers could ever tolerate.
By far the best moments of the episode involved the return of former First Lady Martha Logan and our favorite Secret Service agent, Aaron Pierce. We've been wondering this season about what happened to Aaron, a character who has been protecting presidents since Day 1 and factored largely into the storyline last season. It's a truly great twist to see Pierce now together with Martha, building on the chemistry and relationship they started in Day 5.
Jean Smart turned in yet another bravura performance as the emotionally unstable Martha. It was fascinating watching her "get all stirred up" as Aaron put it, chopping up kiwi. We expected her to accidentally cut herself, have a breakdown, or just refuse to make the phone call to Anya Suvarov. But to have Martha stab Charles, and possibly kill him? That's just brilliant. Martha easily had the best line of the episode, as Aaron asked her if she was up for the phone call: "Of course I am. I'm not crazy," just minutes after stabbing a former president in a major artery.

Oxide-based SOFC Anode Materials
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Contact PNNL About This Technology
Shown in green, the ceria-based anode materials provide excellent conductivity with resilience not offered in traditional metal oxides.
In a solid-oxide fuel cell (SOFC), the anode facilitates the reaction between hydrogen, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon fuels with oxygen ions that permeate the electrolyte from the cathode side of the cell. An ideal anode should have high electrical conductivity and electro-catalytic activity, and further, it would be advantageous if the anode was tolerant to intermittent air exposure and sulfur-containing compounds in hydrocarbon fuels such as gasoline, diesel and natural gas.Description
Researchers at PNNL have developed a new class of nickel-free anode materials, consisting of a composite of doped cerium oxide and doped strontium titanate. These materials show excellent electrical conductivity, an activity similar to nickel, and are tolerant to the presence of impurities in the fuel such as sulfur. The new class of materials is presently being engineered for use in large SOFC stacks.
The novel materials provide the positive attributes of metal electrodes like nickel with additional degradation characteristics. This combination of materials and characteristics provide for strong performance and longer life of the cell.
- Less susceptible to contaminants such as sulfur
- Oxidation tolerant during shut down cycles
- Comparable to other anode materials in manufacturing cost and process
- Provides for longer life due to the stability in the presence of contaminants.
- Electricity generators
- Auxiliary power sources

|Title and Abstract
Primary Lab
Composite solid oxide fuel cell anode based on ceria and strontium titanate
An anode and method of making the same wherein the anode consists of two separate phases, one consisting of a doped strontium titanate phase and one consisting of a doped cerium oxide phase. The strontium titanate phase consists of Sr.sub.1-xM.sub.xTiO.sub.3-.delta., where M is either yttrium (Y), scandium (Sc), or lanthanum (La), where "x" may vary typically from about 0.01 to about 0.5, and where .delta. is indicative of some degree of oxygen non-stoichiometry. A small quantity of cerium may also substitute for titanium in the strontium titanate lattice. The cerium oxide consists of N.sub.yCe.sub.1-yO.sub.2-.delta., where N is either niobium (Nb), vanadium (V), antimony (Sb) or tantalum (Ta) and where "y" may vary typically from about 0.001 to about 0.1 and wherein the ratio of Ti in said first phase to the sum of Ce and N in the second phase is between about 0.2 to about 0.75. Small quantities of strontium, yttrium, and/or lanthanum may additionally substitute into the cerium oxide lattice. The combination of these two phases results in better performance than either phase used separately as an anode for solid oxide fuel cell or other electrochemical device.

I promised it'd be out by year end. And while I haven't really done much to it over the past few months since the last trailer was uploaded to Youtube (that's below, for those that want to watch it again), I'm putting up the first public WIP of Agent Hernandez. Please have a look, leave notes and bug reports here, any feedback you might have, etc. It should be stressed that this is NOT FINISHED and there WILL BE CHANGES.
This REQUIRES a ZDoom or GZDoom SVN to run! It WILL NOT work in Skulltag or ZDoom 2.3.1!
Known Issues and Things That Will Be Changed
- The Leadspitter's shell casings will eventually be differently colored to emphasize that they can do (mild) damage.
- Cortes and Molinero presently do not have their own player sprites, so they look like Doomguys at the moment.
- The Credits listing may be missing a few things.
- The Shotput Grenade Launcher really, really sucks (ammo's broken, too much damage, too easy to kill yourself with) so it's going to be replaced, using the same graphics, as this mod's superweapon: a high powered Mass Driver. Remember The Stranger's anti-tank rifle? Kind of like that...but more awesome. I hope.
- The "secret" classes weapon, the dual revolvers, looks like Cortes' derringer when tossed. That'll be changed at some point.
- I might add more zombie sounds.
- The rest of Doom's basic monsters may end up getting replaced with new ones. I will try not to go overboard on the randomization, however, as I've got a ton of monsters in here already.
- The sniper rifle will be getting a few changes - it will eventually no longer be bolt-action, and the sniper crosshair will be fixed so it actually works in software mode.

So, I got my new tattoo done last Tuesday. Tattooing has just recently become legal in Korea, not to say that people haven't been doing it for a long time, but, if you got caught doing it, you would be in some serious shit. It used to be that only licensed physicians could give tattoos, and large tattoos were also used as a way to draft dodge (although it is a criminal offense) by men not wanting to serve their country (military service is mandatory for about two years in Korea), but this has slowly changed, and tattoo parlors are no longer illegal! The place I went to is called DJ Tattoo, and it was a cool little shop on the third floor of a building in downtown Yeosu. The people who worked there spoke little English, but were generally helpful, and had their little phone dictionaries ready if something needed to be translated to me. I think they did a fabulous job, I'm in love with my new tattoo. I took in a design of my own, and they just re-traced it with the tattoo magic marker and went from there. Being the picky person I am (and really, I'm the one that has to have the tattoo on them forever), I may have not liked the placement in the first place, and the woman doing my tattoo may have had to retrace it. The original picture I brought in had been destroyed in the first placement fiasco, but, luckily, she had taken a picture of the design. Thank goodness. Despite the fact that the tattoo is relatively small, it was a complicated design with a lot of vines and stuff, so, it took two and a half hours to complete. TWO AND A HALF HOURS! They had to double outline each line and then slowly fill in between, it was painful and felt like I was there for days. It looks pretty, though! It somehow only cost me 150 000 won, which is like... $125 Canadian (depending on the exchange rate)... for two and a half hours of work! And really well done work, at that! I may go back and get some more work done before going back to Canada. I came to the realization last week that I didn't even have to save up to get the work done, and that, really, I could theoretically get a new tattoo each month. DON'T WORRY MOM, I WON'T! (That had to be written in caps, for my mom reads my blog and was probably ready to flip shit after reading that, and would have probably skipped the whole "I won't" statement and gone right to writing me a really upset e-mail. [love you mom!!!!])
There was another girl in there getting a tattoo done when I went to get mine. She was getting "Carpe Diem" tattooed on her... and not just anywhere, but on her friggin collar bone! Oh, sorry, I mean "Carpe Diem!" yes, with the exclamation point, too. I didn't get that, but who am I to judge. She was a champion, guys, for real. She was on her cellphone, texting people, barely reacting to the fact that SHE WAS GETTING HER COLLARBONE TATTOOED!!! When she was done, we noticed that she had been crying a little bit, but, holy jeeze, if that was me... I would be balling my eyes out and screaming like a baby... not even joking, it would be bad news bears. The tattoo looked really great once it was finished, until she asked for the finishing touch. She wanted a cartoon stylized hand doing the peace sign fingers thing (you know, like every Korean person does in pictures...). It made me think that -just maybe- she isn't actually aware of what carpe diem means... and that she also may not be aware that tattoos are permanent and that for the rest of her life she will have cartoon hands holding up a peace sign on her. Luckily the guy told her he didn't have time that night to do it... I really hope she re-thought it and didn't go back for it. She must come from an uber liberal family, to get a tattoo on her chest like that, I can't imagine most Korean parents would react favorably to that.
Oh! And the lady that was doing my tattoo had a tattoo of Salvador Dali on her arm!!! I got so excited. And it was a really really well done tattoo of Salvador Dali, too! I love Salvador Dali, I could barely contain myself! And I love that she actually got Salvador Dali, and not just some of his artwork. I love Salvador Dali for his artwork, but I also love him for the person he was, too... and what better tribute to him, than to actually get -him- tattooed on yourself. I thought it was pretty cool, and I tried not to be a total fan girl about it.
Not much else has happened, I went to Suncheon with Annie last Friday for Mexican food, and the we came back to Yeosu and went to LSG and played Jenga and Scattergories, I won both! I just chilled for most of the weekend, it was super rainy. I don't have any classes this week, so I spend 8 hours a day on facebook and I'm putting the finishing touches on my summer camp. Yup, it's been a boringgg week so far!
Time to get back to making study questions for Finding Nemo!

Orlando Cepeda
Orlando Manuel "Peruchin" Cepeda Pennes (Spanish pronunciation: [orˈlando seˈpeða]; born September 17, 1937) is a Puerto Rican former Major League Baseball first baseman and a member of the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. The 1958 National League Rookie of the Year, Cepeda was voted the National League Most Valuable Player in 1967, the year his team, the St. Louis Cardinals, won the World Series. Overall, he appeared in three World Series and was the first winner of the American League's Outstanding Designated Hitter Award in 1973. He batted .300 or better 10 times in the 14 seasons he appeared in over 100 games, much of it played in what is now called the "Second Deadball Era."
Cepeda was born to a poor family. His father, Pedro "Perucho" Cepeda, was also a baseball player in Puerto Rico, an upbring that influenced Cepeda's interest in the sport from a young age. His first contact with professional baseball was as a batboy for the Santurce Crabbers of Puerto Rico. Pedro Zorilla, the team's owner, persuaded his family to let him attend a New York Giants tryout. He played for several Minor League Baseball teams before attracting the interest of the Giants, who had just moved to San Francisco.
During a career that lasted sixteen years, he played with the San Francisco Giants (1958–66), St. Louis Cardinals (1966–68), Atlanta Braves (1969–72), Oakland Athletics (1972), Boston Red Sox (1973), and Kansas City Royals (1974). Cepeda was selected to play in seven Major League Baseball All-Star Games during his career, becoming the first player from Puerto Rico to start one. In 1978, Cepeda was sentenced to five years in prison on drug possession charges, of which he served ten months in prison and the rest on probation. In 1987, Cepeda was contracted by the San Francisco Giants to work as a scout and "goodwill ambassador." In 1999, Cepeda was inducted into the Hall of Fame by the Veterans Committee.

Critic Reviews for Red Riding: 1974

The Red Riding films all come across as great, gritty tales of police corruption and human failing, but it's the first film that has the most impact, mainly because the young reporter Dunford is such a mix of romantic notions.
It is effective at setting the stage, introducing some of the characters, and capturing the attention of those who love gritty, uncompromising dramas about police corruption and the dark side of human nature.
It envisions Yorkshire as a bleak and ugly place, where violence is just as commonplace as Yorkshire pudding.
Cigarettes, leather jackets, bell-bottoms, and dollops of pop music establish the socially agreed upon distractions of the particular bygone time: just a few ways of avoiding ugly truths. [Blu-ray]
With its muted colors but unmuted violence, it's similar texturally to David Fincher's superb Zodiac, about another 70s serial killer. It's also just as disturbing.
This is a noir, the kind where the good-for-nothing gumshoe (here, an investigative reporter) has a habit of getting his face bashed in, usually on account of a girl.
Audience Reviews for Red Riding: 1974
There are so many questionable scenes in this film, which make the film very intriguing to watch, as it is a trilogy, and all the answers will come forth later. Some of the dialogue makes no sense to me, but it is beautifully filmed and well-plotted, making that okay. "Red Riding: 1974" is essentially about finding a killer of children, but quite honestly, there is so much more behind the screen than you make think. Andrew Garfield is brilliant as Eddie Dunford, the journalist who is in deep investigation. The acting is top notch here and the filmmakers really know how to tell a compelling story. This is a great film!

From the time that Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy had become a world wide accomplishment in crime fiction, there has been a rather large productions of crime fiction films being adapted into cinema. One of which is the Red Riding Trilogy, originally written by David Peace. Now, I know that it is something of a bold statement to say that these crime novels were adapted purely based on the success of Stieg Larsson's novels/ films, but in a way, that seems to be the main idea. Mostly due to people wanting to have a new found taste in crime. But, this is about Red Riding: In The Year Of Our Lord 1974. Okay, first thing that I need to talk about in terms of this film, and one of the main slashes against it, is how difficult it is to understand anything that any of the characters are saying. Now, this is mainly a problem due to how thick their accents are. The plus about this is that it allows the film to have that dark, British atmosphere that just makes things all the more creepier. The negative is that you can not understand anything that any of the bloody characters are saying. So, take it as you will. Me personally, I liked it because it just added to the atmosphere and the acting itself explains what the characters are saying. With the direction, nothing really stood out. I mean, yeah, this film was gorgeously shot and the idea of having all the gruesome details spoken about and never shown really did add a good bit to the film. But there are some things that the film could have done without. Mainly talking about the six or more sex scenes that occur. I am glad that you never see anything too explicit, but after a while, it does kind of get irritating and starts slowing down the pace. The one thing about this film that I need to speak of is up and coming star Andrew Garfield. Prior to this film, I saw him in David Fincher's The Social Network and he was fantastic in that film. But here, he is able to steal the show. What mainly impresses me is how he was able to copy the British dialect, the presence, and basically become a character that I doubt he could ever really pull off. But here he did. At the time this review is being written, he is currently promoting his film The Amazing Spider-Man. It is a pity that most American audiences will know him for being in red and blue tights and not as a deranged, sex loving journalist. He is, and will probably be, the main reason why most people will want to see this film and he does not disappoint. In the end, I am a sucker for crime fiction and what we have here is a rather nice, dark start to a film series that chronicles that corruption of the law, the Yorkshire Killer, and the way how anyone tries to stop the hero. Yeah, the film is hard to watch due to the dialects and how thick the accents are, but if you must, put on subtitles and watch this film. Trust me: you won't really be disappointed. Yeah, it is not great or a masterpiece, but it is worth a watch.

An intriguing and compelling neo-noir. Though it has the feeling of being incomplete (as the first part of a three part story), it still manages to give the viewer a sense of how far and wide the corruption really goes. The subtlety of some of the connections made by the protaganist really force the viewer to pay attention or wind up losing track of the case....much like a real investigation.

But that didn't stop some students and staff from joining in the fun by dressing up themselves. Student worker Maritza Ravago-Venegas even created a haunted gingerbread house for the occasion. Children from the Campus Child Development Center went trick-or-treating, office by office, and then were treated to a Halloween Fair. Story-telling, games, and crafts were the order of the day at the fair. Staff of the Campus Child Development Center did a great job of making the day both fun and educational for the children.

The Modular V10 6.8L Ford Engine
The 6.8L V10 was introduced by Ford Motor Company in 1997 when FMC introduced the 4.6 and 5.4 liter modular motors. All of the Ford V10 engines were produced at Ford's Windsor Ontario engine plant. The V10 was not available in the F150, as only Super Duty models were available with the biggest of the Ford gasoline engines.
The 6.8L V10 shared the same bore and stroke as the 5.4L Triton V8, and with a 2 valve per cylinder head design this new motor made 305 horsepower "" 5 more than the Dodge Ram V10 although the Ram had the advantage in torque with 450 to the 6.8L V10's 420 lb-ft.
In 2005, Ford upped the ante for the heavy duty V10 truck market with a new 3-valve per cylinder head design for the 6.8L. The new 6.8L V10 made an impressive 362 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque. Dodge had done away with the V10 engine options in their work trucks in 2002, leaving the Super Duty with little competition in the gasoline market.
This 3-valve variant of the 6.8L V10 began production in 2005, and as of 2009, the price to upgrade from the 5.4L to a 6.8L V10 in a Ford Super Duty costs $699.

Weathervane Playhouse
The Weathervane Playhouse is the oldest, continuing, professional summer stock theater company in Ohio. The Weathervane Playhouse has attracted actors and directors from across the United States.
Established in 1969, the Weathervane Playhouse first opened in a barn in Heath, Ohio. Over the next several years, the company performed in the barn, a tent, and in an open-air pavilion. In 1976, the Thomas J. Evans Foundation provided the Weathervane Playhouse with land in Newark, Ohio to establish a permanent home. In the same year, the company's theater was moved and rebuilt on the donated land. The original structure was lost to fire in 1987, but various businesses and community groups helped rebuild the theater on the same site. Seven years later, another fire destroyed the Weathervane Playhouse's entire costume collection. Local residents donated thousands of items to replace the destroyed costumes. In 1999, the Weathervane Playhouse opened a Children's Theater to provide additional educational programs for local children.

has designated CARE as a:
- Good evidence for medication adherence -
and reusable intervention
Welcome to CARE
CARE (Computer Assisted Risk Education) is an evidence-based approach to reducing risky health behaviors in at-risk and HIV-positive people. Easy to use and well-accepted by patients, CARE has resulted in significantly greater medication compliance, decreased viral loads, and reduced risk behaviors.
CARE is behavior change
CARE's major innovation is how we capture detailed patient information in an engaging and non-threatening way, synthesize it to identify issues and areas of improvement, and then assist the patient in producing a tailor-made, realistic, incremental plan for change.
With CARE, patients experience a highly-personalized motivational interview based on a stages of change model of behavior change.
CARE then assesses the patient's behavior, knowledge, and goals and synthesizes these inputs to create personalized feedback appropriate for the individual patient's stage of change and specific circumstances.
CARE is flexible
- Can be customized to address any health concern with a behavioral component.
- Offers out-of-box solutions that focus on HIV/AIDS, both for prevention in at-risk populations and treatment for individuals who are HIV-positive.
- Can be used as part of a research study.
- Provides risk assessment, counseling, test consenting, subject recruitment, experimentation, and longitudinal data collection.
- Has sophisticated logic that fully tailors questions and feedback based on patient responses.
- Provides complete audio narration and video integration to help reach low-literacy populations, and supports multiple languages.
- Runs on the Internet or on a closed local area network, or it can stand alone without a network connection.
- Is well liked by patients: 97% say CARE is easy to use; 93% believe CARE helps them as much or more than face-to-face counseling; and 75% say they prefer CARE to a human counselor. Source.
CARE is proven
Over the last 10 years, we have collaborated with research institutions across the United States to craft unique solutions for institution-specific websites, research, and clinical needs.
The HIV/AIDS Prevention Research Synthesis (PRS) project at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has designated CARE as a:
- Best evidence of efficacy for risk reduction.
- Good evidence of efficacy for medication adherence.
CARE-Pos is a ready-to-use tool for HIV treatment and risk reduction.
If you have special needs, we can customize CARE to your project or organization's requirements.

The Achievement Habit
Stop Wishing, Start Doing, and Take Command of Your LifeDownloadable Audiobook - 2015
Cofounder of the Stanford d.school Bernie Roth shows you how the power of design thinking can help you achieve goals you never thought possible.
Did you know that achievement can be learned? As Bernie Roth explains, achievement is a muscle. And once you learn how to flex it, you'll be able to meet life's challenges and reach your goals.
Based on a legendary course Roth has taught at Stanford University for several decades, The Achievement Habit employs the remarkable insights that stem from design thinking to help us realize the power we all have within to change our lives for the better. By ridding ourselves of issues that stand in the way of reaching our full potential, we gain the confidence finally to do things we've always wanted to do. Combining design thinking, problem-solving, creativity, communication skills, and life adjustments, readers will learn:
- Why trying and doing are two different things
- Why using reasons (excuses), even legitimate ones, to explain one's behavior is self-defeating
- How to change your self-image into one of a doer and achiever
- How subtle language changes can resolve existential dilemmas and barriers to action
- How to build resiliency by reinforcing what you do rather than what you accomplish
- How to be open to learning from your own experience and from those around you
Our behavior and relationships can be transformed—if we choose to, we can be mindful and control our intentions to create habits that make our lives better. And with this thoughtful book as your guide, you can.

For my January Term at Salem Academy, I chose to work with the Special Collections and University Archives and Digital Projects departments within the University Libraries at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG). I was required to work for three weeks with six hours per day recorded. I was nervous to find an internship completely independent of my school. Was it going to spark my interest? Would it make me discover a calling I would have never considered before? Would the staff welcome a lowly intern that would only be temporarily remaining in their care? Luckily, the answer to all of these raging questions was yes. When I walked into the doors of the Special Collections and University Archives department, I knew I was where I was meant to be. I was greeted with open arms, bright minds, and thankful hands.
|First meeting with the UNCG librarians, Kathelene Smith and David Gwynn
Growing up in Greensboro, I thought I knew a lot about UNCG. I was in constant attendance on Tate Street. Friends and co-workers had become strong and proud Spartans and continue to do so. Walking into the archives, I thought I was coming in with an advantage. However, I was largely mistaken! Upon further research, I learned many things I had never known. In 1892, the State Normal and Industrial School, now UNCG, was open only to women. The school held amazing pageants and festivals and gave students the opportunity to learn about the subjects women had been denied for centuries. Literary societies maintained a strong hold over the social structure of the students' lives.

U.S. and South Korean trade officials agreed on Oct. 4 to work on changes to the U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement, commonly known as KORUS.
Neither side specified what changes would be sought to the 5-year-old pact, and it is not yet clear whether the emphasis will be on expanding trade or curtailing it. Expanding trade would benefit both countries, while curtailing it would benefit specific producers but impose costs on average consumers and other businesses.
U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer said he will work to "resolve outstanding implementation issues as well as to engage soon on amendments that will lead to fair, reciprocal trade."
South Korea's trade ministry said "both sides shared an understanding of the need to amend the free trade agreement to further strengthen the mutual benefits."
Behind those diplomatic niceties is a game of economic hardball that is likely to become noisy and controversial. That entails economic risk, but both parties ultimately need to preserve the strength of their overall strategic alliance.
As the United States' strongest ally in the Pacific, and home to about 30,000 U.S. troops, South Korea occupies a unique front-line position in U.S. efforts to contain both North Korea and China, and the U.S. remains the major guarantor of South Korean sovereignty.
Neither party can afford to risk destabilizing the longstanding alliance because of a trade dispute.
The U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement enjoys strong support from some members of Congress, as indicated by a recent joint statement by bipartisan Senate and House trade leaders:
The U.S.-South Korea agreement (KORUS), negotiated under two presidents and approved by Congress, is a central element of that alliance.
Indeed, modifying the agreement does provide opportunities as well as threats. If the U.S. and South Korea approach the discussions with the goal of enhancing the dynamism and competitiveness of their economies, both parties could benefit.
If, instead, they come to the table determined to preserve or expand special benefits for their most politically powerful companies, economic freedom and growth are likely to decline in both countries.
It is notable that Washington and Seoul plan to take advantage of the agreement's special "joint committee" to update the free trade agreement rather than start from scratch with a complete renegotiation, as in the North American Free Trade Agreement.
That committee needs to be as transparent as possible so as to prevent special interests from taking control of the negotiations.
It would be practical and constructive for the two allies to start laying the groundwork for expanding the existing framework by working together on the timely fulfillment of commitments made in the free trade agreement—perhaps even amplifying the effort to advance energy trade between the two nations.
The United States and South Korea are situated in a complimentary fashion, with the U.S. a reliable energy supplier and South Korea a strategic buyer. Advancing energy trade and security between the U.S. and South Korea is a natural and constructive step forward that leaders should keep in mind and even incorporate into the update of the U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement.
South Korea has proven to be a reliable and strong ally for America in advancing freedom, opportunity, and prosperity in the region and around the globe. But much more can be accomplished, and the United States and South Korea have a lot to offer to each other.
Washington and Seoul should move forward with an update of the U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement in a spirit of cooperation, friendship, and alliance.

Not much doing this afternoon at Dee Why. Beach is super-crowded with swimmers and sun bakers but there's not much going in the surf department. The odd nor-east swell wave crumbles through the Point but now often enough to warrant a paddle out there . There are quite a few beginners and desperates up between the Clubhouse and poles but it's not doing much more than waist high on most of the biggest ones.

She got a blue sewing machine for Christmas. Now we're figuring out where to set up her sewing table and I'm thinking about what projects will be fun and useful. We know a couple of babies, so fat quarter quilts. My folks could use some new placemats and my nephew brings cloth napkins. Our main things to work on are consistent seam allowances, locking seams, turning corners and remembering to put the presser foot back down.
The machine seems to be pretty good. I was really missing some of the features of my machine, like a light, the threader, a zipper foot, and seam allowance markings. But what it does, it seems to do well.
El sewed the tubes for the straps, and then we needed to switch back to my machine once we got home. And, um, switch sewists.
My first stab at the curved bottom was not curvy enough. I had her draw a line on the inside with a washable Crayola marker and sewed along those lines and it was finally good. Also, the inside edges are just pinked together, not hidden. Should be good enough for this draft. Also, I need to figure out how to do zippers better this year.
Again, she's happy with this pocketbook and using it regularly. Also, I let her cut up some Kaffe Fassett stash for the body. Cause I'm nice and I love her.

Managing a commercial trucking fleet involves a lot of time and effort. With all the inherent issues that fleet managers must deal with over the course of the day, it makes sense to look for the best gas credit card that will properly serve their refueling needs and make running a fleet much easier. Finding the best gas credit card company will make for one less thing to worry about. Issues with drivers misusing credit cards cost a trucking company time and money. A gas credit card that can help you avoid this problem could end up saving your fleet substantially.
Fuel Express offers the best gas credit card for trucking fleet managers. There are many benefits to using Fuel Express. Our unique time-saving services will help you keep your budget organized while maximizing efficiency in your fleet. If you are a fleet manager who is tired of the hassles associated with drivers using traditional credit cards for fueling purposes, now is the time to look into making the switch to Fuel Express fleet gas cards.
Universal Acceptance
The fleet gas cards offered by Fuel Express are accepted at over 230,000 fuel stations nationwide. This means that virtually every gas station in the country accepts Fuel Express. By using this card, you will be saving your company in wasted time and fuel because drivers won't have to alter their routes to find a service station that accepts only a certain type of card. Fuel Express fleet cards also allow drivers to pay at the pump, which means they will spend less time going into the station itself. Because Fuel Express understands that time is money in the trucking business, our fleet cards come with the features that will help you save both of these precious commodities. Convenience and practicality are just two of the reasons why Fuel Express offers the best gas credit card for trucking companies.
Time lost can never be recovered. This is why it is important for fleet managers to find the best gas credit card that will save them valued time, every day. Fuel Express fleet cards come with an online reporting system that keeps tracks of all fuel purchases in real time. There will never be a need to deal with paper receipts again because all gas credit card expenditures can be easily followed online. Driver transactions can be monitored immediately. This feature eliminates the need for tedious, time consuming paperwork. The extra time you save from filing receipts can be used for taking care of other aspects of your business. It is only a small portion of what you would expect from the best gas credit card available.
Security Features That Will Protect Your Account
When a regular credit card is used for fleets, there is no way to limit or restrict the purchase of certain, non fuel items. Fuel Express is the best gas credit card because it allows fleet managers the ability to make sure that their fuel cards are only being used to purchase fuel. The savings will add up quickly once drivers are no longer able to buy personal items on the company's credit. Only the best gas credit card offers this type of control.
The system in place for keeping track of driver activities is another reason why a fleet card from Fuel Express is the best gas credit card around. It is admirable to want to trust your drivers as much as possible, but unfortunately it is important to have safeguards in place that monitor all activities that surround your company's fuel credit card. The Fuel Express fleet card allows managers to track times of purchases and fueling locations. This ensures that your drivers are where they say they are. Miles per gallon for each of their vehicles can also be kept track of, which allows managers the opportunity to take notice if any efficiency discrepancies occur.
First Class Support from a First Class Fuel Card
Fuel Express could not boast about having the best gas credit card without offering exemplary customer service for our fleet managers. Operators are available around the clock and they will expediently answer all of your questions and concerns about your account. Although the extensive online tools are extremely useful and will save time, there are situations where talking to a live person is the only way to get to the bottom of a matter. We offer you this availability, because we want to provide you with a dependability that makes you comfortable that you chose the best gas credit card for your fleet.
There are many options available for fleet managers with respect to controlling fuel purchases, but only Fuel Express, with its numerous safeguards and features, offers the best gas credit card in the trucking industry. Our services will save time and money while providing peace of mind. Please feel free to contact us to learn more about the best gas credit card for fleet managers from Fuel Express.

I've been in the 'planning' stage of building a new PC for around a year now. I REALLY do hope to build it this year, probably sometime around July. Anyway, last October I put my build into PCPartBuilder so I could easily find the parts I'd chosen and quickly figure out a rough estimate of the cost. I'm very sad to see the price of the parts is just not going down after nearly half a year. Hell, overall the price has GONE UP! Moore's law is a lie!
The box is going to be a gaming box, and I mostly play MMO's, FPS's, Strategic games like Civ5, and single player adventure type games. Feel free to offer advice on the build, I'm really hoping to get something close to what is linked above (or better) for around $1.5K or less. When I first set it up the cost was just a touch over $1600, and now it's almost $1700.

From Pika Fanon
Route 3 (Japanese: 3ばんどうろ Route 3) is a rocky route in Hora. Its western terminus is at Freesia Town and it's south-eastern terminus is at Lumex City. This route is blocked when the player first reaches it.
Route Description[edit]
Route 3 is shown to be a route resembling a street. The road is paved, and many people are either running or skating through it. Due to this, only urban Pokémon can be caught on this route, and it functions like a cave, with Pokémon appearing at random.

Qatari businesswomen set new targets
Doha:, December 8, 2007
Qatari businesswomen have vowed to fight "illogical social traditions and customs that are the biggest obstacles to progress."
Statistics available with the Qatar Chamber of Commerce and Industry (QCCI), the representative body of the private sector, show there are currently 346 small and medium businesses in the country which are managed entirely by women, reported Qatar Peninsula
The figures (for 2005-06) suggest these are businesses representing various sectors, including trading, manufacturing, building activity and contracting.
Small businesses total around 180 and their capital varies from QR250,000 to QR5m, while their bigger counterparts are about a hundred with their capital base starting from QR20m and above.
Although the number of the businesses run by women is fairly large, QCCI officials admit it is less than five per cent of the total number of companies registered with them.
According to a local Arabic daily, in Kuwait and the UAE, for instance, the situation is entirely different as businesswomen are a force to reckon with. They have a fair share, if not a dominant position, in the local trade and industry.
Businesswomen in these GCC countries have been able to successfully take on the challenges fighting their way up in trading and manufacturing, while their Qatari counterparts have been lagging behind.
The daily quoted a Qatari woman entrepreneur, Mona Al Sulaiti, as saying that traditions and customs limit their chances of progress in business. The role of women in the national economy, thus, remains restricted.
"We need a supportive environment to flourish in business. At the same time, we need to be creative and think of new business ideas to have a competitive edge,' she commented.
There is, therefore, the need to break those traditions and customs which are illogical and baseless, she stressed.
Ibtehag Al Ahmedani, another prominent businesswoman and lone member of the QCCI's board, said women's participation in national and economic development was a must in order to create social balance.
There are a number of women who are active in the private sector. They are competent businesswomen, she said.
Yet another businesswoman, Samir Fakhri, in remarks to the daily, urged her ilk to gain experience from men in managing big businesses, particularly in the industrial and contracting sector where females have not been able to make much of the mark. – TradeArabia News Service

US To Sink Ghost Ship Dislodged By Japan Tsunami
The lonely voyage of a rusting, unmanned Japanese ship that has floated thousands of miles since it was dislodged by last year's tsunami appeared to be coming to an end in the Gulf of Alaska. The U.S. Coast Guard was gearing up to use cannon fire to sink the shrimping vessel, which was floating 180 miles southwest of the southeast Alaska town of Sitka Thursday morning. "Something like this hasn't been done, based on the tsunami," Coast Guard spokesman Paul Webb said. "It's a new one for all of us." The 164-foot Ryou-Un Maru, which has no lights or communications system, has a tank that could carry more than 2,000 gallons of diesel fuel, but officials don't know how much, if any, is aboard. Either way, the government says the move is safer environmentally than letting the ship continue to drift. "It's less risky than it would be running into shore or running into (maritime) traffic," Webb said. The vessel had been destined for scrapping when the Japan earthquake struck, so there is no cargo on board, according to Webb. He said it's likely there is little or no fuel on board because the ship has been traveling high in the water, indicating a light ballast. Webb said he doesn't know who owns the Ryou-Un Maru, which has been traveling about 1 mile per hour in the past days.A Coast Guard cutter was at the location of the ghost ship Thursday with plans to fire cannons loaded with high explosive rounds to sink the vessel in calm seas and clear weather. Webb said the cutter would fire the cannons from several hundred feet away. The goal is to punch holes in the Ryou-Un Maru and sink it. A Coast Guard C-130 plane crew will monitor the operation. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency studied the problem and decided it is safer to sink the ship and let the fuel evaporate in the open water. The Coast Guard will warn other ships to avoid the area, and will observe from an HC-130 Hercules airplane. The vessel has been adrift from Hokkaido, Japan, since it was launched by the tsunami caused by the magnitude-9.0 earthquake that struck Japan in March 2011. About 5 million tons of debris were swept into the ocean by the tsunami. The Japan earthquake triggered the world's worst nuclear crisis since the Chernobyl accident in 1986, but Alaska state health and environmental officials have said there's little need to be worried that debris landing on Alaska shores will be contaminated by radiation. They have been working with federal counterparts to gauge the danger of debris including material affected by a damaged nuclear power plant, to see if Alaska residents, seafood or wild game could be affected. In January, a half dozen large buoys suspected to be from Japanese oyster farms appeared at the top of Alaska's panhandle and may be among the first debris from the tsunami.

View the best solar energy companies currently servicing Silverdale, WA
Our 382 reviews of the 14 solar power companies servicing Silverdale in 2018 shows you the best 10 local solar panel installation companies by reputation. Enter your zip code and bill into the solar cost and savings calculator above to also see the cost of installing solar with the best solar companies near you and to get free quotes if you wish.
Firstly, no solar contractors can pay to get listed at the top of our search results.
The order of our list of best solar installers is displayed based on a formula balancing reviews number and reviews score only from the last two years. If a company has a lot of reviews and a higher average reviews score, but is below another company in the list, it is because most of their reviews are old and the company above them has more reviews at a better average reviews score in the last two years (even if overall they have fewer reviews or a lower all time average reviews score).
We show all solar energy contractors that have received reviews of solar panel installation work they have done in Silverdale even if they don't have an office in Silverdale. There are a lot of renewable energy companies in the solar industry in the United States that service areas in which they don't have offices via contract installation teams. Some of these companies receive a lot of complaints (see the big national installers reviews like Vivint Solar, Sunrun and Solar City), but others have really good reviews and so we don't exclude them from our top solar companies lists. They often bring price competition to smaller cities where the local solar companies are so busy they need to put their prices up. It is up to you how much weight you put on a local office when choosing between solar companies.

Evan and his team were fantastic to work with. The project completed on time and on budget, even under time constraints. The entire process was transparent and Artisan walked us through every step. They efficiently and professionally handled the prep, installation, commissioning, follow up and close out process. The cost was reasonable and Evan took all the time we needed to explain the system, monitoring tools and various incentives and tax rebates. I can't imagine a better home improvement experience.... read more

Very professional and knowledgable. They worked with me on my odd roof design.Their work is first class.
NW Wind & Solar is Awesome!! From the very first quote through to the installation the team has been great! Perfect communication at every step. Paige was willing to come out to the house as many times as necessary to do reviews and gather information prior to installation. Dickson was a great project manager and the installers were great. The installers worked extremely diligently to get the job accomplished and communicated at the start of the day and at the end of each day. We could not be happier with our panels and NW Wind and Solar is still following up to ensure everything is working which is great! You won't be disappointed.... read more

Excellent experience! Every point of contact demonstrated great customer service. From our initial meeting, to a bid that was very competitive and fair, to staying informed as to where we were at in the process, to scheduling a special meeting when our ground did not allow for placement where we had originally discussed, to the installation, to the final closeout and explanation of the system. These guys are top notch and everything was as promised or better! We couldn't have asked for anything to go smoother than it had. Sam was our point guy, and he was always gracious, timely with contacting us, and it was very apparent that he was dedicated to making sure our experience was everything we wanted it to be. Ryan became involved during the times necessary to make sure that everything went smooth. The front office staff was always good about keeping us informed and answering any questions we had in timely emails. Couldn't be happier that we chose Ellensburg Solar as our provider. Even our inspector had great things to say about this company. What made it even better was that their bid was so much better than the other companies. Highest recommendation to this young group of guys! They know their business!... read more

No new clinical tuberculosis cases have been found at Butler High School beyond the three people diagnosed with the disease last year, according to the most recent test results released Monday by the Richmond County Health Department.
The department returned to the school in January and February to retest 242 students and staffers who had negative skin tests from the first round of testing at the end of 2012, according to a news release.
The retests were seen as a safeguard because it can take up to three months for people with the disease to react to a skin test, according to the department.
Testing began in October after a Butler student was diagnosed with tuberculosis by a doctor.
The health department performed skin tests on those who were in close contact with the girl, then expanded the testing to include the entire school and staff.
In October and November, 578 people were tested and 136 were positive for tuberculosis bacteria.
Three of those were confirmed to have the disease.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a person who has been exposed to tuberculosis bacteria and shows a positive skin test still might not have contracted the disease.
Those found with clinical tuberculosis from Butler were not allowed to return to work or school or go to public places until they were considered non-infectious, according to the news release.

We were delighted to attend the official opening of one of our recent tenants – US software company iManage,
We at the Science Park are pleased to welcome Ian Raine back to the Science Park and through his efforts and the support of InvestNI, to meet Geoff Hornsby and iManage, who have established a software engineering centre at the Science Park in Belfast.
Life is never dull in Digital Technology. Ian came first to the Science Park with Queens' spin-out Meridio, stayed after the mergers with Autonomy (a Cambridge University spin-out) and then moved offsite with HP (a spin-out of the US university system, albeit long ago) and now returns with iManage.
Ian is the latest in a growing band of technologists cycling through spin-outs and back again, with their skills and knowledge growing at each turn of the cycle. They represent the prodigious talent that is growing our knowledge economy. It behoves us all in the challenging times ahead to remember who our new heroes truly are and to work hard to give them the support they need for all our sakes.

"You can't win a by-election campaigning for freedom. You can't shift public support for 42 days.
"You can't spark a national debate, they said… people just don't care about British liberty. And yet, 3 weeks on, we've sent a shot across the bows of Gordon Brown's arrogant, arbitrary and authoritarian government. We've galvanised a new consensus … across the political spectrum … beyond the world of politics. A new resolve. A new spirit of freedom. A fresh sense of purpose.
"Today, the people of Haltemprice and Howden have delivered a stunning message to the government…as our campaign has reverberated across the country. Four weeks ago as Gordon Brown stooped into the gutter to rig the vote on 42 days, Ministers crowed that 69% of people supported 42 days. Today just 36% support it. Four weeks ago, the government touted public support for a range of other draconian measures. Today, 71% support my stand against the attacks on British liberty. And in the House of Lords, the last Head of MI5 savaged the government's 42 day proposal. It now lies in tatters, robbed of any remaining credibility. Along with this government. And that's after just 3 weeks.
"But today is not the end of this campaign. It's the beginning. On Monday I return to the House of Commons, to take up my seat in those hallowed chambers. I do so with a clear mandate to fight Gordon Brown's vision of 'Big Brother Britain' tooth and nail. To stop 42 days dead in its tracks.
"To prevent the disaster of ID cards before it happens. To protect our personal privacy from being ransacked by the ever-intrusive state. But most of all for the thousands upon thousands who have written to me… Supported me…and voted for me….
"I return to fight for those fundamental freedoms that define our way of life. The freedoms that millions died defending. The freedoms that make Britain Great."
NB Hat tip to Cranmer from where this is cut and pasted. I understand the BBC did its best (or worse) to stop this speech being broadcast.

BTCCNY has formed lower highs and found support at 4330.00, creating a descending triangle chart pattern on its 1-hour chart. Price is currently testing the triangle resistance, still deciding whether to make a bounce or a break.
The 100 SMA is below the 200 SMA so the path of least resistance is to the downside. In addition, these moving averages line up with the top of the triangle so they could add to its strength as resistance.
RSI is on middle ground, barely offering any strong directional clues at the moment. Stochastic seems to be on the move up to show that buyers are taking control of price action but BTCCNY will need to make a strong close past 4380.00 before confirming the upside breakout.
If that happens, BTCCNY could aim for the triangle top at 4460.00 next. On the other hand, a downside break of support could take it down to 4200.00 next. Of course this depends on market catalysts, and it seems that risk appetite is keeping bitcoin supported for now.
The FOMC has assessed that downside risks to growth have diminished, providing assurance for other major economies as well. This has led investors in China to keep their money in the stock markets and refrain from panicking then flocking back to bitcoin.
However, a couple of risks have emerged in Europe, possibly keeping the cryptocurrency well-bid again. Spain will be holding a vote of confidence since it failed to produce a majority government in the latest elections while signs of more banking sector stress are materializing in Italy.
European banking stress test results are up for release today and downbeat data could bring risk aversion back to the markets and lead to bitcoin buying. Also up for release today is the US advanced GDP reading for Q2.
