What You Will Learn
• Gradually transition from second- and third-generation (2G/3G) UMTS to 4G without a comprehensive network upgrade
• Support 2G/3G UMTS and 4G functionality on a single platform
• Meet LTE requirements for increased data rate capacity, reduced latency, and improved spectral efficiency
• Provide transparent roaming between High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) networks and LTE networks
• Take a phased approach to migrating the UMTS/HSPA network to LTE by upgrading the core network to Evolved Packet Core (EPC) elements without an overlay Radio Access Network (RAN)
Evolving the Packet Core
• Integration of intelligence at the access edge: As a greater variety of services and user types cross the mobile network, it is critical to increase network and subscriber intelligence. Through this intelligence, including quality of service (QoS) and policy enforcement, mobile operators will better understand individual users and their transactions and be able to shape the service experience and optimize network efficiency.
• Simplified network topology: To effectively deliver the enhanced performance of LTE, the network will need to be simplified and flattened with a reduction of elements involved in data processing and transport.
• Optimized backhaul: With the introduction of 4G, the transport backhaul is a key consideration that many are realizing after the fact. It is very important to deploy a core network solution that is flexible enough to offer smooth migration from centralized (longer backhaul) to distributed (shorter backhaul) core network nodes.
• Converged mobility and policy: Maintaining the subscriber session is an important consideration during 4G-to-2G/3G mobility events. Additionally, unified policy management in the network is critical for efficient service delivery over mixed 4G and 2G/3G networks and for providing differentiated services and applications with flexible charging and billing options. It is therefore important to deploy a core network based on a single mobility and policy control paradigm.
• Increased performance characteristics: Clearly the intent of LTE is to improve the performance and efficiency of the network. To realize the full potential of LTE, mobile operators must deploy core solutions that can meet the flexible demands generated by increased mobile multimedia services and a growing subscriber base, including increasing network capacity requirements, and being able to scale multidimensionally in thousands of call transactions per second, higher number of sessions, and significant throughput over a heterogeneous access networks.
• 2G/3G UMTS to 4G migration: As mobile operators migrate their networks to LTE (Figure 1), they will seek to minimize costs and maximize subscriber usage. This will require core solutions that can address 2G/3G network requirements, while at the same time be used for 4G network introductions. Operators will want to avoid a comprehensive upgrade, while deploying best-in-class solutions based on open standards. Additionally, mobile users will expect a uniform service experience across both networks, with consideration of the bandwidth differences.

Intelligence in the Network
• Providing intelligent QoS control based on service type, user profile, and business policy
• Extending visibility of the access technology type in the SAE nodes; the PGW can automatically adapt QoS for ongoing sessions, for example when the user equipment performs a handover between LTE and UMTS
• Providing a greater degree of information granularity and flexibility for billing, network planning, and usage trend analysis
• Sharing information with external application servers that perform value-added processing
• Exploiting user-specific attributes to launch unique applications on a per-subscriber basis
• Extending mobility management information to non-mobility-aware applications
• Enabling policy, charging, and QoS features

Oct. 5, 2009
FAIRFIELD, Conn. (October 5, 2009) - Sacred Heart sophomore Alex Fait (Ottawa, Canada) was named the adidas / Northeast Conference Men's Soccer Co-Player and Co-Rookie of the Week by the league office. It is the first NEC award in either category for the sophomore goalkeeper.
Fait posted three consecutive shutouts last week, helping the Pioneers to wins over Yale (Sept. 29) and Mount St. Mary's (Oct. 4), while preserving a scoreless double overtime draw with nationally-ranked Monmouth (Oct. 2). Fait made six saves against the Bulldogs before standing on his head against the #10 Hawks, coming away with nine stops, including a diving save on a MU free kick at the end of the first stanza. With time dwindling in the second OT, the sophomore came off his line to smother a shot and preserve the tie. Fait went on to tally 10 saves against the Mount en-route to the fifth clean sheet of his rookie campaign - a mark that is tied for second in the NEC. The Ottawa, Canada product is currently in sole possession of the second slot in the league in both save percentage (.917) and saves per game (6.88), while his 0.59 goals against average ranks third.
Fait and the Pioneers are back in action this weekend taking to the road to face NEC foes Robert Morris and Saint Francis (PA).

Assessment Day
Lesson 11 of 11
Objective: Students will be able to analyze poems for figurative language and a short story for characterization and motives by taking a test.
Mrs. English teaches an imagination class. It's not a creative writing test, it's a storytelling class, and all of the stories that students tell are metaphors for how they see themselves. If you were selected for Mrs. English's class, what story would you tell? What would the meaning of your story be? For this journal, you may write using first person pronouns (I, my).
Resources (10)

Daily Grams
Due to time constraints, we skipped the Daily Grams on the three previous days. Students still get the Daily Grams in their bellwork packet, and they still do them, but we don't go over the answers if we're pressed for time. Today we were not so pressed for time, so we returned to the regularly scheduled routine.
Day 43
- The Lott family attended the Olympics held in Atlanta, Georgia.
- In the phrase, 'the Lott family,' only Lott is capitalized. The word 'family' is still a comon noun.
- Olympics, Atlanta, and Georgia are all capitalized because they are proper nouns.
- How do you abbreviate? There are standard abbreviations, and those standard abbreviations need to be followed.
- We covered the abbreviations of mountain, December, street, Tuesday, meter, and west.
- Students circled the adjectives in the sentence, "A heron is a long-necked bird with a long tapering bill and soft feathers."
- Soft modifies feathers.
- Long and tapering modify bill.
- Long-necked modifies bird.
- There's present tense, future tense, and past tense.
- I'll ask is actually I will ask, which is future tense.
Sentence Fluency
- There are two simple sentences that can be joined to form a sentence with an independent clause and dependent clause.
- Michigan has 124 lighthouses, more than any other state.
Zebra Test
Students took their final "Zebra" test. I'm not sure what else to say about this. It was a test and they took it.
My district is big on consistency, and we have three required parts of our gradebook. Our gradebook is divided into practice, performance, and measurement. Measurement is 60% of the grade and consists of tests and essays (in English, not necessarily other subject areas). Performance is 20% and is essays, projects, and other random things we put in this category to meet the requirement. Practice is also worth 20% and is the daily bellwork, reading logs, and other small assignments. We also have a weekly intervention 'class', and students who don't show mastery are pulled for reteaching and retesting.
For teachers, the challenge is to make a test that allows students to show their knowledge, but doesn't take forever for the teacher to grade. There's already a ton of grading in English, and tests need to be rigorous, but also manageable for the teacher. I'd rather read longer paragraphs as part of writing projects that are graded as a test, like the two paragraph essay on traits and figurative language from yesterday's lesson and as seen in this video.
There were no multiple choice questions on this test. That's one of the huge differences I've made in the last couple of years. It's not enough that students can choose the correct answer from a list of four. Instead, they need to have acquired and integrated the knowledge into their brains and souls. Therefore, this test required students to write short answers to show that they really know the content.
Students were able to use their books on the test, but not their notes. My rationale for using books is that the book contains the story. They can use the story on their test. They can use the story because that promotes looking back at the story, which is obviously a skill that we want to develop in our students.
So, they took the test. I'll report back on how they did once my student teacher has finished grading the tests. That's what she's doing this weekend.
Resources (2)
We used the 3-2-1 closure strategy today. Students wrote down 3 things they knew they knew, 2 questions they still have about "Zebra," figurative language, or character traits, and 1 opinion about how they did on the test.
Here's the slide I showed the students to help them complete this closure.
Today's lesson picture is from Sarah Durham.

If your child requires anesthesia, you can rely on the expertise of Nemours' pediatric anesthesiologists. Our experienced team specializes in administering anesthesia in children. Our job is to keep your child safe and prevent pain before, during, and immediately after the surgical procedure — and ease your worries and concerns, too.
Anesthesia is the use of medicine to prevent the feeling of pain during surgery or other procedures that might be painful, such as a dental extraction. Anesthesia is administered through injection or an inhaled gas or vapor.
Some minor surgical procedures or procedures don't require anesthesia. Instead, in these cases, we'll administer a sedative drug to relax children and make it easier to perform the procedures.
What to Expect With Pediatric Anesthesiology
All of our physicians are fellowship-trained and board-certified, and have advanced training in one or more areas — such as Pediatrics, Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, and Pediatric Anesthesiology. So we're able to provide the highest-quality care to even the youngest or most medically complex patients. This high level of expertise and experience with the unique anesthesia needs of children means our pediatric anesthesiologists are especially qualified to keep your child comfortable and as calm as possible.
In order to provide the safest care, our pediatric anesthesiologists will direct a care team that may include other physicians and nursing staff. Together, our team will thoroughly evaluate your child before any procedure, explain the type of anesthesia we'll use, and answer all of your questions. Then, we'll administer your child's anesthetic medications during the procedure and carefully monitor your child afterward.

I've seen it's done, so I guess there's some option I can't find?
here : https://lyricstranslate.com/en/Folque-Dansevise-lyrics.html - but i want them one beneath the other, and also the change doesn't seem to affect the translation page?
let's just see if I got it right for next time : in the video box I should put [ video:URL ][ video:URL ]? I don't want the video to appear in the author's comment field.
You can put only but one video that shows in all pages of the song and it's translations. You can create the same effect by putting a [video:] statement within the lyrics of the song but I strongly advise against this, since this is a lyrics site and not a multimedia one and since this may generate problems in page formatting now or in the future. The link you provided has the second video within the Author's comment field.
Yes but that way, people who go straight to the translation page, which is what I usually do, will never get to see the video (not to mention the comments they're missing). That's actually a good suggestion for the site.
I can't find the exact post where I saw 2 videos one on to of the other, but I found another example that look good as well : https://lyricstranslate.com/en/m-facut-muma-frumoasa-ma-mere-ma-fait-bel... . Is this what you ment by using the video tag in the lyrics box?
This example you refer to has one video in the appropriate field and one in the translation lyrics, which I do not recommend and don't like because for me it's so appalling like seeing the whole translation entered in the title field. Furthermore it presents problems to the site display formatting.
Since a song is in a different language than the translation there is no need to show the original song comments along with the translation's ones since the first would be most of the times in a different language than the one the viewer understands
If you want to enter two videos on the author's comment field you may reduce their size, so for 4:3 ratio videos a statement like
will appear side by side:
hopefully since it depends on the browser and its viewing resolution. If you lower the size of the videos you may fit more than two in one row, but this still depends on the viewer.
So please use this in the author's comment field
the author's comment field doesn't solve anything if you're not the uploader of both the lyrics and translation. you'll see the problem if you read what I wrote on my last post here ^^. I still don't understand the real issue with posting the video in the lyrics, not to mention, it's done by other mods here.

During the last session (exact date unknown) of the National Minority Council, the symbols (flag, coat of arms, anthem...) of four national minorities have been confirmed by the
Council, namely those of Bosniaks, Bunjevac, Croats and Hungarians, on the Council's session of 23 December 2005.
Other 20-ish national councils have not yet adopted their symbols and have not sent them to the National Minority Council for approval.

Flag of the Ashkali People - Image by Ivan Sarajčić, 23 January 2006
Ashkali is a national minority from Serbia. They are Roma who speak Albanian, but are not ethnical Albanians. Following the war in Kosovo, several Ashkali settled in Macedonia with refugee status, and refused to come back in their homes in Kosovo.
Several photographies of the flag can be found on the Ashkali website (no longer online), as well as the explanation of the flag.

Flag and arms of the Bosniak minority in Serbia and Montenegro - Images by Željko Heimer, 19 March 2005
The flag of the Bosniak minority in Serbia (Nacionalna zastava Bošnjaka u Republici Srbiji) is shown on the Bosniac National Council website. The flag is very similar to the former flag of Bosnia and Herzegovina, white with the coat of arms in the middle.
More information on this flag are available on the Sanžak page of this website.

Flag of the Bulgarian minority in Serbia - Image by Željko Heimer, 4 September 2006
The National Council of Bulgarians in the Republic of Serbia adopted a flag and coat of arms in the middle of June 2006 (may be on 17 June). The symbols were designed by Hristo Dermendzhiev, a heraldist from Bulgaria, and were chosen after in a contest opened in the beginning of the year. Second and third were ranked the proposals of Stanko Marnjanović from Niš and Jelena Ignjatoviš from Belgrad.

Flags (left, usual; right, ceremonial) of the Bunjevac minority in Serbia and Montenegro - Images by Željko Heimer, 18 February 2006, coat of arms from the Bunjevac website
The Croats in Serbia, as well as some in Croatia, consider the Bunjevac community to be a regional name for Croats in Vojvodina and claim that the Bunjevci should be part of the Croatian nation (and therefore should not have any flag), but the official Serbian politics recognize them as a separate nation. Anyway, the Bunjevac flag was formally adopted and is official in Serbia.
The symbols are presented on the Bunjevac website.
The ceremonial flag, as well as flags with some variations (of unknown status) can be seen on the front page of Bunjevačke novine, #7 (no longer online).
It is not clear weather the usual flag should include the blue tails or not (but the flag is shown on the picture with them).
It is considered that the flag of Bunjevci is traditionally white and blue, as described in some traditional folk songs. However, this was never formally adopted (as far as I know) and I don't know of any previous flag being made or used.

Flag and arms of the Croatian minority in Serbia and Montenegro - Images by Željko Heimer, 27 July 2005
Hrvatska riječ, the magazine of the Croatian community in Vojvodina, reports in #113, 17 May 2005, that the Croatian National Council (HNV, the top organization of the Croats in Serbia and Montenegro) has adopted a flag for the Croats in Serbia and Montenegro.
During the session of the HNV on 11 June 2005 the flag was adopted to be virtually the same as the flag of the Republic of Croatia but without the five small shields in the crest, that is the red-white-blue tricolour with the shield chequy gules and argent in the middle (starting with a red field, top aligned with the edge between the red and white stripes and entering the blue with the lower part, entirely fimbriated by a red line).
The coat of arms for the Croats in Serbia and Montenegro was adopted during a previous session of the Croatian National Council.

Flag of the Hungarian minority in Serbia and Montenegro - Image by Željko Heimer, 23 January 2006
On 19 February 2005, Resolution #1/2005 of the National Concil of the Hungarian Ethnic Minority proposed two flags for the Hungarian minority
On 23 September 2005, Resolution #5/2005 of the National Concil of the Hungarian Ethnic Minority adopted the flag of the Hungarian minority. It is similar to the Hungarian national flag with the national coat of arms in the middle.
The flag was officially approved by the Minority Council of Serbia on 23 December 2005.
Rejected flag proposal - Images by István Molnár, 24 January 2006
The rejected proposal is similar to the Hungarian national flag with the coat of arms of Vojvodina in canton.

Flag and emblem of the Macedonian minority in Serbia and Montenegro - Images by Željko Heimer, 22 February 2006
The National Council of the Macedonians of Serbia and Montenegro has approved new symbols on 11 February 2006. The flag is red with the Council's emblem, a 16-ray sun (similar to the "Sun of Vergina"), surrounded by a golden ring in the center of the flag. The emblem was approved during an earlier session of the Council.

Flag of the Romanian minority in Serbia - Image by Ivan Sache & Željko Heimer, 19 March 2009
Quoting Wikipedia:
Romanians are a recognized national minority in Serbia. The total number of declared Romanians in the 2002 Serbian census was 34,576, while 40,054 people declared themselves Vlachs; there are differing views among some of the Vlachs over they should be regarded as Romanians or as members of a distinctive nationality. In a Romanian-Yugoslav agreement of November 4, 2002, the Yugoslav authorities agreed to recognize the Romanian identity of the Vlach population in Central Serbia, but the agreement was not implemented. In April 2005, many deputies from the Council of Europe protested against Serbia's treatment of this population. In August 2007, they were officially recognized as a national minority, and their language was recognized as Romanian. Declared Romanians are mostly concentrated in the autonomous province of Vojvodina, while declared Vlachs are mostly concentrated in north-eastern parts of Central Serbia.
The flag of the National Council of the Romanian Ethnic Minority (Consiliul Naţional al Minoritǎţii Naţionale Române din Serbia - Nacionalni savet rumunske nacionalne manjine, based at Novi Sad) is horizontally divided blue-yellow-red with a ring of twelve yellow stars in canton.
Chrystian Kretowicz, 19 March 2009
The Ruthene Press News Service reported that on the 18th Session of the National Council of
Rusinians (Ruthenians) in the Republic of Serbia, held
on 16 April 2007, two symbols were adopted, a flag
and coat of arms.
The coat of arms is of French shape, vertically divided in two fields. The right field has a red standing bear facing to the viewer's left. The left field is horizontally divided in seven stripes, in turn blue and yellow (four blue and three yellow fields). It is claimed to be the coat of arms of the autonomous Zakarpats'ka Ukraina (Transcarpathic Ukraine) in former Czechoslovakia, adopted 30 March 1920. The four blue stripes represent the four komitats (counties or districts) of Ung', Bereg', Ugocha and Maramorosh, which belonged to autonomous Transcarpathia, while the three yellow stripes represent the three rivers of the land - Uzh, Latoritsa and Tisa. This coat of arms is also the official symbol of Transcarpathia region in Ukraine, since 18 December 1990.
The flag is described as the Serbian tricolour flag with the aforementioned coat of arms on it. However, the position of the coat of arms on the flag is not mentioned.
Rejected proposals for the flag are also shown on the aforementioned website.

Flag, "banner" and arms of the Slovak minority in Serbia - Images by Tomislav Todorović, 3 July 2011
Although the exact date of adoption of the flag and coat of arms of the Slovak minority in Serbia was not possible to detect so far, their official description (PDF file) has appeared at the website of National Council of Slovak Minority on 2 November 2011, so they must have been adopted not long before.
The flag is white-blue-red horizontal
tricolor with the coat of arms in the hoist; the height of the coat of
arms is equal to the half of the flag width and it is positioned so
that its distances from the hoist, top and bottom edges be equal. The
flag has the proportions of 2:3.
There is also a vertical flag, or "banner", with the maximal proportions of 1:3, while the minimal value is not prescribed, the official description showing the image with the value of 2:3. The position of the coat of arms is not prescribed, except that it shall be in the top (hoist) half, but it seems that its size and distances from the hoist, top and bottom edges remain the same as on the horizontal flag.
The coat of arms is derived from that of Slovak Republic by surrounding the whole pattern with an additional golden fimbriation.
The descriptions of the symbols are based on those from the Law on the State Symbols of the Slovak Republic (text). The main difference is that the coat of arms has a white fimbriation on the flag of the Republic of Slovakia, which was omitted on the flag of the the Slovak minority in Serbia, because the coat of arms has a golden fimbriation as its integral part. In this way, it was achieved that the symbols visibly differ from those of a sovereign state, as demanded by current legislation.
The images shown above are based on the SVG image of the Slovakian flag from Wikimedia Commons. Shades of blue and red are web-safe approximations of the colors given at the Vexilla Mundi website, and gold is the standard FOTW color "Au". These colors are also good approximations of the color shades shown in the official description, which otherwise does not give any definition of the shades.

He's no Kevin Smith, but Quentin Tarantino is prone to wink at his universe every now and again. Lee Donowitz (Saul Rubinek) from True Romance is the son of Inglourious Basterds' Donny "the Bear Jew" Donowitz (Eli Roth). Vic Vega (Michael Madsen) in Reservoir Dogs is the brother of Vincent Vega (John Travolta) in Pulp Fiction. Well, there's one such connection in Django Unchained, but it's so small that Tarantino himself forgot about it in the below interview. We're lucky we have Reddit for these things, because one person found the connection. Pulp Fiction's Captain Koons (Christopher Walken) is apparently a descendant of Crazy Craig Koons, a member of the Smitty Bacall gang. It seems minor, but maybe there was a line cut out of the script where Smitty Bacall praises Crazy Craig Koons's ability to keep time.

9/11 truthers "are crazy"
RE: 9/11 truthers "are crazy"
First of all, from pure irgornace....the host site of the video is not important, the contents of the video is important, if you would like the website its http://www.ae911truth.org/.
Secondly, there is countless witnesses, to valid it, your clearly haven't done any research into your claims or even watched the videos for that matter.
3rdly... the fact that this building (WTC7) did come down is a smoking gun onto why the offical "terroist" story is a unsolved problem. Plotted by terroists to fly planes into the trade Towers, why would building 7 also fall? Video and photo evidence, clearly shows the lack of resistance from the building resulting in the collapsing of it.
and yes, the war on Afganistan was because of 9/11, before the job was finished you also managed to invade Iraq, claim Saddam had your weapons of mass destruction, couldn't find the weapons, then claimed your gorvenement was "freeing Iraqi's" from Saddams control, which is purely racist, saying you killed over 1 Million civilivans in the bagdad bombings.
You might as well, put your fingers in your ears and yell la la la.... because your refusing to look at first hand evidence. (sounds fimiliar)
Lastly, don't judge my school system or take a personal attack that I have a low IQ or some crap, to try and convince yourself because thats just desperate.

RE: 9/11 truthers "are crazy"
No, I have not watched the videos. I see no reason to. I've heard all these foolish arguments before and I've no interest in subjecting myself to their stupidity again.
And, you ignored my question as to why they would destroy WTC. Why do it? For what purpose? What does it gain? The building was evacuated, the damage was done, the country was outraged, so why blow up another building that was so obviously not damaged and will fall with a "lack or resistance" (whatever the fuck that means) and create a massive controversy from all these self-proclaimed "experts"? Why do it?
If you have not even considered this question, then your school system has completely failed you.
Sorry, I did ignore the "why did WTC fall" question and I did not mean to. When the towers came down, they threw a lot of debris and some of those hit neighboring buildings. WTC7 incurred structural damage that eventually caused it to fall over. It's really not that complicated or difficult to imagine. When 2 buildings over 100 stories come down like that, they tend to create a lot of havoc. I did not see the WTC7 go live, only on TV. What I did see afterwards, in real life and not on TV or on some stupid youtube video, is that the damage was pretty wide spread. A few building were condemned after that and had to be taken down. Building that were not structurally damaged were still physically damaged. Repairs went on for some time. I used to have a great picture of a building that had hole in the wall of it. The building in question was a central office for the local telco and the equipment as all smashed up. There are a lot of common sense explanations for why WTC7 fell and, the best part of them is, you don't have to come up with some wacky, unsubstantiated conspiracy theory that has zero witnesses to it to believe them.
Shackle their minds when they're bent on the cross
When ignorance reigns, life is lost
RE: 9/11 truthers "are crazy"
This may come as some surprise to you and it may prove to be a very difficult concept for you to grasp, but .. here it goes .. deep breath .... youtube videos are not "evidence".
As for not asking "why", I think "why" is a pretty important question to ask. It obviously requires a certain amount of critical thinking to formulate any answers, but I guess it's just easier to believe fantasies on the internet.
As for that tenant list, what exactly do you think that proves? I am dying to hear this explanation.

RE: 9/11 truthers "are crazy"
Lets say Building 7 took heavy damage from the falling debris of towers 1 & 2 like you said.
Above are pictures of WTC building 3 4 5 6. These are closer to WTC 1 & 2 and took sustainably more debris damage than building 7. However these buildings did not "collpase"
Building 7 Pictures
As you can see, the damage to building 7 has alot less damage than the other buildings, it also collpased straight down, instead of falling into the weakened areas of the buildings...
Just watch this video please...
Your just asking the same questions, I used to ask, and I used to be skeptical about, your not adding anything new. Take a look at evidence, or leave it. Cause i have been in your position.
Well if you would like to come over and do 9/11 research work with me, we can do experiments and sh*t, to get your proper "evidence"... because frankly I can't show you experiements other than from videos, because your not near me.
"As for that tenant list, what exactly do you think that proves? I am dying to hear this explanation."
I just told you you would say that....
RE: 9/11 truthers "are crazy"
First, and again, these videos are not "evidence".
Second, while I'm not engineer I still think I'm intelligent to realize that structural damage is not necessarily damage that you can see. Buildings don't fall over because of damage to their external facade. A punch in the nose may end up looking a lot worse than a kick in the balls but from experience I can tell you that the kick in the balls hurts a lot worse.
Third, the WTC complex was very compact. The difference in distance was marginal. And, it doesn't matter how close you were, it matters where you got hit and what types of damage were incurred.
As for that last video, I got about 5 minutes into it until I realize it was a comedy act. Ed Asner? Seriously? You want me to believe a video because it was hosted by Ed Answer? Or, maybe in spite of the fact that old Ed is the narrator. Anyway, let's think this through: yes, it looks like a controlled demolition. But, that does not mean a controlled demolition is the only answer.
For this to be a controlled demolition that no one knew about, you need a few things to happen. First, you need to get into the building to plant explosives. A demolition qould require you to plant explosives, right? So, you need to buy them. those type of industrial explosives are only sold in so many places so someone would have a record of the sale, but no one - not even these whacky conspiracy theorists, has ever produced someone who claims to have sold those. Ok, it's the government so let's say they just "created them" or something. Problem solved.
Second, you would need to get into the building unseen. Given who the tenants were in that building, you can bet that they had 24/7/365 security. In fact, most, if not all, office buildings in New York have that type of security. So, you need to get past them. Do you bribe them? If you do, you'll have to pay them a lot of money to keep them from talking forever. Do you kill them? Someone would report them missing and someone would notice when the next shift came in that they were gone. If you replaced them, then you need to pay those guys off too because they would figure out what happened later. Or, maybe you need to kill them too, but this becomes and endless cycle of killing and paying. At some point, there is someone alive who knows something. And, they are probably pretty scared and ready to go to the press or something. But, that never happened. Anyway, let's say you get past security. What about the cleaning crews? There are crews that clean those buildings all night long. I guess if you wait late enough you can avoid them but that doesn't give you a lot of time. Figure the last cleaning crew leaves at 2AM and the building engineers show up around 6. That leaves you 4 hours to wire up the building with explosives. Are you doing it over a couple of nights? I suppose you could. But, then you have to hope no one sees the explosives in the bulding and says "Hey! Those are explosives!!". If you just blow up the foundation that may explain why no one who works in the building sees anything but building engineers and maintenance crews will absolutely see it. And, if you do it over a few days, then the cleaning crews will see it too as all the cleaning stuff is generally going to be stored in the basements of these buildings. And, what about the people outside. No one sees you pull in and unload all these explosives? Not one person? Finally, you think no one else noticed that WTC7 was further away than some of the other buildings? Why blow that up if you want a subterfuge for war? Why not blow up a building closer to the main targets?
It is impossible for this to have happened. The number of people who would have to be involved in this conspiracy to avoid all those problems would be in the tens of thousands. You would have to be an idiot to believe that, period.

RE: 9/11 truthers "are crazy"
When you look at everything from a bigger perspective is it just coincidence that saddam hussien stopped trading oil in dollars shortly before he got invaded......and that qaddafi was about to launch his own currency based on gold??? Im open minded because thats all we can be, the chances of us actually knowing or being told the "truth" are miniscule.
How nato first said that they would not arm the rebels and limit airstrikes......to at the end fully arming the rebels and airstriking even though the rebels said stop.
Here a more "believeable" mainstream source
BBC:Rebels ask but NATO say 'NO' to stopping airstrikes
Nato have a checklist they want to achieve in libya.
Probably a bit of coincidence that in 2007 this guy outlined what we see happening today in the middle east

Do you know how many people where involved in the Manhattan Project? Over 100,000 people. Not even the vice president new about this project until he became President.
If you think its irlogical WTC7 came down by fire damage, welcome to the truth movement.
You even managed to add in your own wee conpriacy theory...
There are many of the witnesses from govrnement and civilians, that went to the media, but they refused to listen...some of them are even dead.
- William Rodriguez
- Susan Lindauer
- Barry Jennings
- Beverly Eckert
- Kenneth Johannemann
Why was people arrested for having a van of explosives at the geroge washington Bridge on 9/11? If it was done by Terroists hijackers?
bemore... Libya
the UK gorvenment told us that are miltary would never set foot in Libya.... and we get a report 1 week ago, that the "British SAS" as been dressed up in rebel clothing, and helping the rebels for weeks lol.
Another Example, is the fact that the UN are adding a figure to represent the Rebels in Libya after gadaffi surrenders or dies... but quite honestly, the UN selecting a Leader is not Decmocarcy for the Libyan people.
RE: 9/11 truthers "are crazy"
Of what relevance is Saddam's currency of choice prior to the invasion to 9/11? Of what relevance is Libya?
You're actually starting to make my point here. The US and most of the western European governments have seemingly been involved in some shady things and there needs to be accountability for it. While I'm happy to see that asshat in Libya gone, I cannot understand what the US national interest was that we had to involve ourselves in it. The world is full of despots and we continually look the other way so why this one was worthy of our attention - especially after we made nice with him a few years ago - is beyond me. I think there are a lot of questions about 9/11 that have never been satisfactorily answered, and really should be.
However, when you wrap yourself up in idiotic conspiracy theories that have zero basis in fact and require millions of people to be in on the conspiracy, you completely distract from the actual issues and questions and give accountable people a plausible way to completely duck the real issues and questions. There was no "inside job" on 9/11. A bunch of maniacs hijacked 4 airliners, crashed 2 into the Twin Towers, 1 into the Pentagon, and 1 was overtaken and crashed into a field in Pennsylvania, and killed thousands of innocent people. That's what happened. It's an established fact. This need to pretend those are not the facts is lunacy and the people who perpetuate these fables as if they are true and there is some grand scheme involving everyone on the planet but them are really a bunch of idiots. If you don't want to see that, that's fine. But, you really need to start asking some critical questions about "how" and "why" before you get all hung up on washed up old actors with too much time on their hands.

How Close was Hitler to the A-Bomb?(4) tv-pg
How close was Hitler to launching a nuclear attack against the Allies in World War II? After developing a V2 ballistic missile capable of reaching as far a New York, Hitler made nuclear development his highest priority. On December 3, 1942, the first atomic pile went critical, and maintained a self-contained nuclear chain reaction. This was key in the development of an atomic bomb; however, the Manhattan Project was far from reaching its goals. The Germans had no long range bomber so they moved ahead in ballistic missile development. In May 1943, the A4 missile was successfully demonstrated, making Hitler's highest priority nuclear development. Because nerve agents like tabun and sarin were unreliable, nuclear weapons were the best alternative. Paul Harteck created a low energy nuclear reactor, a major step in Hitler's plans. When the warhead landed, a cloud of dust would arise, spreading death over the area for weeks. If plutonium was put into the warhead, the land would be contaminated for years. However, Hitler's plans failed with the invasion of Normandy, making this the least known close call in modern history.

Can Vitamin C Save Your Skin?
Eating more vitamin-C rich foods may be a secret to smoother skin.
"Vitamin C is certainly critical for synthesis of collagen, as is adequate amounts of the amino acid Lysine. "

Searching for a way to look young for your age? Hit the produce aisle, suggests new research in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Analyzing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey I (NHANES I)—a survey that asks people to quantify how often they eat various foods—researchers from Unilever linked consuming plenty of vitamin C-rich foods (such as oranges, tomatoes and strawberries) with youthful skin. "Our findings suggest that a higher intake of vitamin C from foods is associated with a lower risk of having wrinkled skin and age-related skin dryness in [middle-aged] women," says Maeve Cosgrove, Ph.D., who led the research.
Vitamin C's youthful effects on skin may be due to its antioxidant properties, which help protect against ultraviolet rays, and its role in keeping skin firm via collagen synthesis, say the researchers.
Bottom line: Eating more vitamin-C rich foods, such as oranges, tomatoes, strawberries and broccoli, may be a secret to smoother skin.

(AP) No. 12 LSU opens with 37-27 win over No. 20 TCU
By STEPHEN HAWKINS
AP Sports Writer
ARLINGTON, Texas
Terrence Magee ran for two touchdowns after halftime, Zach Mettenberger threw for 251 yards with a key late score and 12th-ranked LSU held on for a 37-27 victory over No. 20 TCU late Saturday night.
Odell Beckham's 75-yard kickoff return set up a 20-yard TD pass from Mettenberger to Jarvis Landry with 6 minutes left.
All in all, despite a crucial fumble and a three-and-out in the fourth quarter that kept the game uncomfortably close, the Tigers' first game with new offensive coordinator Cam Cameron calling the plays provided a promising start to the season.
And that replenished defense after losing a team-record eight players to the NFL draft came up with some key plays.
B.J. Catalon returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown and scored on a 26-yard run for TCU, the two-time BCS buster now in its second Big 12 season.
TCU started in Tigers territory after a shanked 28-yard punt after the three-and-out. But the Horned Frogs' drive was hampered when Trevone Boykin was sacked and fumbled. They recovered the ball, but had to settle for Jaden Oberkrom's 39-yard field goal to get within 30-27 with 7 1/2 minutes left. Then came Beckham's big kickoff return.
Before that, Alfred Blue's fumble set TCU up at the 6. Waymon James' 5-yard TD run made it 30-24 with 13 minutes left.
Magee ran 52 yards for a touchdown less than 2 minutes into the second half put LSU up 23-10, three plays after an interception by Jalen Mills _ one of only three full-time returning defensive starters for the Tigers. Magee added a 2-yard score later in the third quarter.
The Tigers gained 448 total yards against a TCU team known for its defense. Even after moving from the Mountain West to the Big 12 last season, the Horned Frogs led their new league in total defense.
LSU was up 13-3 when 270-pound fullback J.C. Copeland plunged in from a yard out early in the second quarter.
But Catalon returned the ensuing kickoff for a TD, with only one LSU player even getting a hand on the speedy running back. That tied for the second-longest return in TCU history, behind only a 105-yarder against Texas in 1933.
While LSU coach Les Miles had been deliberately vague to keep TCU guessing on Jeremy Hill's status following his offseason arrest for throwing a punch outside a bar, didn't play.
TCU was without reigning Big 12 defensive player of the year Devonte Fields, who was also in uniform without playing. He's serving a two-game suspension for an unspecified violation of university and team policy during the offseason.

Grand Rapids union to sue over bus drivers
Detroit — Gov. Jennifer Granholm has told the 140-member Detroit Public Schools transition team not to adopt recommendations calling for a ban on charter schools, The Detroit News reported.
The transition team, chaired by Rev. Wendell Anthony, was created to help DPS as it moves from an appointed board to an elected one, The News said. Anthony, president of the NAACP's Detroit branch, told the paper the team has not finalized its report yet and plans to issue it by the end of November.
In an Oct. 6 letter to Anthony, Gov. Granholm wrote: "This recommendation suggests that the only way to bring students back to the DPS is to eliminate educational options that parents and children have today," The News reported. "The Transition Team instead should remain focused on finding ways to improve the Detroit Public Schools to give parents more, not fewer, opportunities to choose good schools for their children."
The News said there is "constant friction" between Detroit Public Schools and area charter schools as DPS estimates 10,000 fewer students, many having chosen charters, are enrolled compared to last year. The loss of students could lead to $69 million less in state funding. According to the newspaper, the charter ban and a recommendation that the district sue the state, claiming funding is not adequate, came from the transition team's legal committee. Gov. Granholm's letter said she has worked to increase school funding and a lawsuit would be counterproductive, The News said.

Detroit — In a series of editorials last week, The Detroit News unveiled what it believes are the keys to improving public education in Michigan, including suggestions such as raising expectations, providing more counseling, creating smaller schools and making college more affordable.
In the introduction to the series, The News cited an EPIC-MRA survey of Michigan residents, ages 18 to 30, that was commissioned by a group called "Your Child," which is focused on improving college graduation rates. The poll found just 12 percent of young adults felt "very challenged" in high school; while only 17 percent found classes "relevant," The News reported.
Pollster Ed Sarpolous told The News that parents, educators and students are to blame.
"None of these groups insist on success," he said.
The newspaper said the preferred ratio of counselors to students is one per 250, but Michigan averages one per 450. The poll showed 31 percent of respondents received help from a counselor in making decisions about high school curriculum, while 16 percent were helped by a counselor when deciding to pursue post-secondary education. The News said Michigan needs a greater commitment to high school counseling so students can make a connection between what they learn in school and how it relates to their future.
The News also advocated smaller class sizes in conjunction with a mandatory statewide curriculum. The state Board of Education is studying state-mandated curriculum, and Apple Computer was recently invited to create a high-tech school within a Detroit high school. The average high school in Michigan has 675 students, The News said, but can be much bigger in large cities. Benefits of smaller schools include a better learning environment, fewer administrators and lower transportation costs, The News said. As for a mandatory curriculum, The News said it must meet the needs of the students, rather than cater to teachers or parents. A rigorous curriculum, with math and science requirements, would better prepare students for college, the editorial concluded.
The EPIC-MRA survey found that the escalating cost of higher education is making college unaffordable to many Michigan residents. In pointing out the benefits of pre-paid college costs and tax-deferred savings, The News called for changes in tax policy to make college more affordable, including altering the federal tax code so pre-tax dollars can be set aside for tuition. The News also said spending must be controlled on campus, saying universities "continue to be aloof from the austere budgeting demanded of other institutions."
Finally, The News suggested getting rid of or seriously revamping the senior year of high school. The EPIC-MRA poll found fewer than half of seniors apply themselves fully during that final year of school.
The News said senior year should be the most rigorous of a four-year program, rather than allowing seniors to schedule "fluff" classes, often with the cooperation of parents and teachers.

Holland, Mich. — Talks between Holland Public Schools and its teachers union are on hold until the end of October, according to The Grand Rapids Press. The two sides talked for more than seven hours last Monday, meeting with a state mediator at city hall for a second time.
At issue is how much, if anything, members of the Holland Education Association will contribute toward health insurance, The Press said. The union has forgone cost of living increases in recent contracts to preserve its health care package, the newspaper reported. A school board spokesman told The Press that the impasse is costing the district $15,000 a week.
The district has sent employees three separate letters warning that an illegal strike would be grounds for dismissal, The Press said. Base salaries for Holland teachers range from $38,628 to $67,792, with an average of $55,175, according to The Press.

Grand Rapids, Mich. — The next superintendent of the Grand Rapids Public Schools could make $200,000 or more, The Grand Rapids Press reported last week.
The current superintendent, Bert Bleke, earns $175,000, The Press said. Bleke is leaving at the end of the year. Timothy Quinn, of the Michigan Leadership Institute, is helping guide the district through the search process. He told the school board there are more large districts than usual looking for a new superintendent, The Press said. Currently, 15 districts of 20,000 or more students are searching for new leaders, including Cleveland, Charlotte, N.C., and Toledo, Ohio.
"The higher you get in terms of salary, the easier it will be to recruit candidates," Quinn said.
WZZM, the ABC affiliate in Grand Rapids, said the search for a new superintendent will include staff and community input sessions in October, a Dec. 9 deadline for MLI to receive applications from candidates, a special board meeting in January for interviews and a mid-February goal for hiring the person.

Holland, Mich. — Contract negotiations between Grand Haven Area Public Schools and the Grand Haven Education Association have been halted by disagreements over teacher co-pays for prescription drugs, according to The Holland Sentinel.
The Sentinel reported last week that the GHEA said contract talks had been heading toward the signing of a one-year agreement, but GHAPS interim Superintendent Keith Konarska told The Sentinel that the school board needed a two-year agreement that would include higher prescription drug co-pays for teachers in order to make up for rising health care costs.
The district is facing a 16 percent increase in its health insurance costs this year, according to The Sentinel. The school board is asking that teachers pay $10 for generic drugs and $20 for name-brand prescriptions beginning next school year with the proposed two-year plan.
According to The Sentinel, union President David Maloley said in a statement last Tuesday that, "The deal fell through, however, when the board of education made it clear that there would be no settlement without concessions." Konarska maintains that negotiations have been conducted in good faith, but that a two-year agreement is needed. Maloley said his group was ready to accept a one-year pact, but that the second year would not be acceptable without further discussion, The Sentinel said.

Grand Rapids, Mich. — The Grand Rapids Press reported last week that about 50 sixth-grade students at Millbrook Christian and Sylvan Christian schools in the Grand Rapids area participated in a program that allowed them to take the language arts part of their Michigan Educational Assessment Program tests on laptop computers instead of the conventional paper-and-pencil format.
The pilot program was conducted with 2,800 students in 24 districts statewide, according to The Press. It was designed to test the advantages and disadvantages of administering the MEAP electronically.
Sylvan sixth-grader Trevor Vanderzee told The Press, "It was way easier than just writing it down, just 'cause typing is faster. I did better (than in the paper format) because there's not so much pressure. It just seems easier. It's more of a game."
According to The Press, Sylvan teacher Hilda Quist liked the electronic version too, mainly because results were available within 48 hours. "That's the best (part) of this," she said. "You can get this feedback and go from there."
The Press reported that two Grand Rapids public schools, Riverside and Northeast middle schools, were supposed to participate in the program, but problems with the testing company, Pearson Educational Measurement, caused them to forgo it in favor of the regular format. The Press reported that Assessment Specialist Erika Bolig of Grand Rapid Public Schools said teacher training and tech support promised by Pearson had not been delivered.
At Millbrook and Sylvan, however, tech support personnel were on hand and teachers were ready to use paper and pencil tests if the online format did not work, according to The Press. Quist said there were no problems other than the test was slow to download.

Grand Rapids — The Grand Rapids Education Support Personnel Association announced last week it will file an unfair labor practice complaint with the National Labor Relations Board against the company now providing bus service for Grand Rapids Public Schools, The Grand Rapids Press reported.
The union will claim Dean Transportation, which GRPS began contracting with this year, is violating the federal succession doctrine, which allows employees to remain members of their unions after a change in ownership, The Press said. Dean hired about 120 of the 220 former union members after signing a five-year contract with the district.
"The union wants these drivers to get the message that the Michigan Education Association will never abandon its members," union representative Buz Graeber told The Press.
The Press said the drivers do belong to a union, the Dean Transportation Employees Union, which has 600 members. Similar lawsuits have not been filed in other districts where Dean works, owner Kellie Dean said.
"This is a matter that we will discuss with our legal people," Dean told The Press. "But our job is to safely transport students to and from school each day, and we will remain focused on that task."
The union already has filed a complaint with the Michigan Employee Relations Commission against the district, The Press said, and filed suit against Dean in May, saying the company and school board aligned to undermine its contract, which did not expire until the end of this school year.

The point is, by saying that some autistic adults are labeled "low-functioning" because we still cannot care for ourselves is denying that we can think. Or should we stop listening to Stephen Hawking's brilliance and start pitying him?
There are more problems with functioning labels and they start at home. If parents or family members refer to autistic children as "low-functioning" because doctors and other "experts" labeled the children as "severe", expectations for those children will be always low. My question to parents is: wouldn't you prefer that your children be treated with respect and have equal opportunities in life? Because YOU set the tone for how your children will be treated. I say "no" to pity and "yes" to presumption of competence.
And there should not be a need to apologize for what might be seen as a flaw in a child's way of being. Instead of accepting the word of some "experts" that there is an urgent need to "modify" behaviors, work with your children to explore their abilities and improve what really matters to each one of them (and being indistinguishable from peers matters only to the ones who don't matter: the "experts")
Note: one needs to know what is autism and what is not. Co-occurrences like GI problems and seizures are not autism and need to be treated (but not with dubious "medicine", like bleach enemas and the such)
If parents and family members refer to autistic children as "high-functioning", this can create a big obstacle if those children ever need accommodations, especially when they grow up. They might be dismissed as just quirky or lazy, when in reality they need some accommodations to succeed. Think Temple Grandin not being allowed to use her squeeze machine.
Some children who grow up hearing that they are "so high-functioning" will believe that they are better than other autistics. Not only this is something impossible to measure, it also means a member of a minority group stigmatizing other members of the same group.
But the worst is when parents insist on using "high-functioning" for their children to elevate their status among other autistics. Besides being disrespectful of our accomplishments and our resolve to succeed against many odds, it is disrespectful of their own children's existence. It is like saying that they love and believe in their children because they are not like "those very low-functioning, pitiful ones". It disrespects their own children's right to experience a perceived high need, not dignified of a "high-functioning" autistic. It disrespects their challenges and their hard work to succeed.
Using "high-functioning" is a need of a parent's affirmation, not an autistic child's choice, and it does not show acceptance.
There are many more reasons not to use functioning labels . If we want better services for all of us we must recognize that we all have abilities and disabilities, we are all autistic. And we are all human beings. We need to end the stigma of needing supports, or the false assumption that we are less worthy than others because we need life long care.
ROUND ROCK, Texas , July 2, 2018
News summary
Full story Dell Technologies announced today that it has reached an agreement with its Special Committee of independent directors to exchange the outstanding Class V tracking stock for Class C common stock of Dell Technologies or an optional cash election. Dell Technologies Class C common stock will become publicly listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Dell Technologies will propose to exchange each share of Dell Technologies Class V tracking stock for 1.3665 shares of Dell Technologies Class C common stock, or at the holder's election, $109 in cash, subject to the aggregate amount of cash consideration not exceeding $9 billion . All of the shares of Class V tracking stock of holders who do not opt to receive cash will be converted into Class C common stock, and the Class V tracking stock will be eliminated.
The offer of $109 in cash consideration per share represents a 29% premium to the Class V share closing price prior to announcement and gives holders of Class C common stock the opportunity to participate in Dell Technologies' future value creation. Following the close, current Class V stockholders will own 20.8%-31.0% of Dell Technologies, depending on cash election amounts. Based on an implied value of $109 per share, Dell Technologies, excluding the Class V common stock, had a pre-transaction equity value of $48.4 billion and a pro forma fully diluted equity value of $61.1 – 70.1 billion.
VMware's board of directors, on the recommendation of a special committee of its directors, has voted to declare an $11 billion cash dividend pro rata to all VMware stockholders contingent on satisfaction of the other conditions to the completion of the transaction. Dell Technologies' share of such dividend will be approximately $9 billion . Dell Technologies intends to use the dividend proceeds to finance the cash consideration paid to Class V stockholders, with remaining cash proceeds, if any, being used to fund future share repurchases or debt pay-down.
"I am proud to lead this great company into its next chapter as we continue to evolve and grow to the benefit of our customers, partners, investors and team members," said Michael Dell , Chairman and CEO of Dell Technologies. "Unprecedented data growth is fueling the digital era of IT, and we are uniquely positioned with our portfolio of technologies and services to enable the digital, IT, security and workforce transformations of our customers. Most importantly, I remain deeply committed to this company and working with our world-class team to build the long-term value of Dell Technologies and its businesses." Michael Dell , who currently owns 72% of Dell Technologies common shares, will continue to serve as Chairman and CEO.
The Special Committee said, "Over the last five months, with the assistance of our independent financial and legal advisors, we have conducted a thorough evaluation of a number of alternatives to maximize stockholder value. Throughout the process, we had ongoing discussions and negotiations with Dell Technologies regarding the transaction structure and key value parameters. Following this comprehensive evaluation, we determined that the transaction announced today is the best way to maximize value for all Class V stockholders. The implied value of $109 per Class V share Class V stockholders with a significant and immediate premium as well as the ability to participate in the future upside of Dell Technologies. Further, the option for stockholders to elect up to $9 billion in cash (nearly half of the implied transaction value) provides stockholders the ability to, in whole or in part, obtain certainty on the value received for their shares."
Dell Technologies is experiencing strong positive momentum across its businesses after a period of strong revenue growth, earnings, cash flow and accelerated debt pay-down. In the most recent quarter, the company generated revenue of $21.4 billion , a 19% increase year-over-year, net loss decreased 55% to $0.5 billion and the company generated $2.4 billion of adjusted EBITDA, a 33% increase year-over-year. Over the trailing twelve-month period Dell Technologies generated $82.4 billion of revenue with a net loss of $2.3 billion and cash flow from operations of $7.7 billion .Over the same period, Dell generated $83.5 billion of non-GAAP revenue, $4.8 billion of non-GAAP net income and $9.7 billion of adjusted EBITDA. Dell Technologies has maintained a disciplined pace of deleveraging, having paid down $13 billion of gross debt since its merger with EMC in September 2016 .
Silver Lake, which partnered with Michael Dell in 2013 to execute the largest privatization in the history of the technology industry, currently owns 24% of Dell Technologies' common shares and as part of this transaction will maintain the entirety of its investment in the company.
Egon Durban, Managing Partner and Managing Director of Silver Lake, commented: "We are gratefulto Michael and his management team at Dell Technologies and VMware for their extraordinary performance thathas preceded this transaction, which will enable the company to continue on its accelerating growth trajectory. We are excited that public investors will share in Dell Technologies' dynamic value creation with Silver Lake, which has no plans to seek liquidity and remains an enthusiastic long-term shareholder. Dell Technologies has the most complete and richest portfolio of technology assets spanning all aspects of digital and IT transformation andis strategically positioned to take full advantage of the new era of emerging technology trends including IoT, AI, Machine Learning, 5G, cloud computing and mobility. It is an honor for Silver Lake to be an investor and partner with one of the world's great companies, entrepreneurs and management teams."
A special committee of independent members of VMware's board of directors recommended that the VMware board declare the contingent cash dividend to support the transaction. Dell Technologies believes the elimination of the Class V tracking stock and simplification of the VMware ownership structure is beneficial to VMware Class A public stockholders. VMware Class A public stockholders will also participate pro rata in the significant return of capital. VMware will remain an independent publicly traded company.
"VMware has thrived as part of the Dell Technologies family and has seen tremendous traction and strategic relevance with all customers, resulting in significant revenue growth and financial performance," said Michael Dell . "After the transaction concludes, I am looking forward to VMware's continued independent status, strategy and capital allocation policy for organic investment, MA and shareholder returns."
VMware has benefited from substantial synergies as part of the Dell Technologies family. VMware generated approximately $400 million in growth synergies in FY18 related to its affiliation with Dell Technologies, and in FY19 is on track to achieve $700 million faster than initially expected.
Right Structure for Continued Success
The transaction simplifies Dell Technologies' capital and ownership structure and creates a class of publicly-traded security that reflects the full value of the Dell Technologies family of businesses. As a public company, Dell Technologies has maintained and plans to continue to maintain the same strategic focus on long-term growth that the company had achieved while being privately managed. Dell Technologies' performance showcases the strength of its end-to-end suite of solutions and complementary businesses. Dell Technologies has been recognized by customers as the essential and trusted technology partner, leading to strong financial performance.
Continued Track Record of Success
As Dell Technologies has continued to successfully integrate EMC's businesses, the company has significantly improved its strategic position with deeper customer relationships of increasing size and scope, enhanced its go-to-market reach, accelerated its growth and share gain momentum, and fostered a culture of winning.
Customers will continue to receive the widest technology portfolio from the edge to the core to the cloud, enabling them to digitally transform their businesses. To meet the growing demand of customers and partners to buy solutions across Dell Technologies' family of businesses, the company remains committed to simplifying its offerings and making the full customer experience both easier and faster.
A focus on innovation through continued RD investments and a simplified customer experience has led to Dell Technologies being included in 21 Gartner Magic Quadrants and becoming the leader in 13 of such quadrants, and IDC ranking Dell Technologies #1 in nearly all the areas where it competes.
Conditions to Close
The transaction is subject to approval by Class V stockholders representing a majority of the voting power of the outstanding Class V common stock other than those held by affiliates of Dell Technologies. The transaction is also subject to other customary closing conditions. It is expected to close in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2018.

Eligible juniors and seniors may apply for up to $2,000 in SPUR funding to support their own research project. Students may initiate their own proposal for independent research, for research as part of the CNR Honors Program, or may modify a faculty-initiated project from the SPUR website. Students may only apply once for student-initiated SPUR funding during their time in CNR.
It is the student's responsibility to find an appropriate faculty mentor well in advance of the semester in which the project is to be initiated. The student's faculty research mentor must belong to a CNR department: Agricultural and Resource Economics (ARE), Energy Resources Group (ERG), Environmental Science, Policy, and Management (ESPM), Plant Microbial Biology (PMB), or Nutritional Science Toxicology (NST). Submitting a research project proposal and a detailed research budget (approved by the student's faculty research mentor), is a required part of the application process. Recipients of student-initiated SPUR funding are also required to present their research at a CNR Poster Session .
Before You Apply:
Preparing and Submitting Your Student-Initiated Proposal:
Program Requirements:
Student Eligibility Students must be in the College of Natural Resources at the time of application. Intended CNR students are not eligible until declared. Students must have junior or senior standing (completed 4 semesters in attendance) and a minimum 3.0 overall GPA to apply. Transfer students may apply after one semester at Berkeley has been completed.
Funding is available for continuing students only. If a graduating senior is on the spring degree list, they are not eligible to apply for funding the summer after graduation. If a graduating senior is on the summer degree list, they are eligible to apply for summer SPUR funding.
Appropriate Use of Funding SPUR funding may be used to cover lab supplies and expenses, travel costs (mileage/air fare) to domestic research sites, conference registration fees (if presenting a poster or paper), etc. SPUR funds will not pay for personal laptops, digital cameras, and similar personal equipment except in extraordinary circumstances. If you plan to apply for SPUR funding to cover travel costs, please see the SPUR coordinator.
Any equipment that is approved for purchase with SPUR funding will be considered property of the University of California and will remain with the student's faculty mentor. Funding shall not be used for student stipends or honoraria, nor to cover rent, food or other living expenses in the Bay Area.
SPUR and the CNR Honors Program
CNR Honors Program
is designed to support undergraduate students interested in developing, executing, and evaluating a year-long independent research project under the guidance of a faculty mentor. CNR encourages students applying to the Honors Program to apply for SPUR funding if financial assistance is needed. The deadline to submit the
Sea House Tractor Brooch Macon amp; Lesquoy W2htmi6
to the student's undergraduate staff advisor is the end of the third week of instruction. SPUR student-initiated project deadlines are much earlier, so advance planning is required. See the calendar for deadlines.
Special Note for Students in the Environmental Sciences (ES) Major The SPUR program was created to encourage CNR undergraduates to gain research experience. Environmental Sciences students have such undergraduate research experience built in as a required part of the major with the year-long Senior Research Seminar (ESPM 175A/B/L). Students receiving SPUR funding must be enrolled in independent study units under course numbers 195, 199, or H196. Research conducted as part of the ESPM 175A/L or ESPM 175B/L seminar does not qualify. However, since no enrollment in course units is required for SPUR-sponsored summer research, ES juniors and seniors may apply for SPUR funding to support summer research and data collection in preparation for their ES Senior Research Seminar.
Preparing Your Proposal and Budget Students are strongly advised to begin the process of identifying a faculty mentor and project well in advance, preferably in the semester preceding the one in which the student project will begin. Faculty mentors are encouraged to provide guidance and feedback to students who approach them during this preparatory process.
During the preceding semester, students are encouraged to:
Faculty Mentor Responsibility SPUR funding is paid out to the faculty mentor's research account. No funding shall be paid out directly to students so as not to disadvantage students on financial aid, for whom the grant or stipend amount would be deducted from their financial aid package for the year.
By approving the budget for a student-initiated project, the faculty mentor indicates that s/he will be responsible for assisting the student with accessing their research funds. The faculty mentor also agrees to be responsible for covering any overexpenditure of the SPUR grant. However, if some of the SPUR grant remains unused by the end of the project's completion, the funds will remain in the faculty mentor's research account and can be used toward other purposes.
After the student submits their student-initiated project, the faculty mentor must log on to the SPUR website to approve the student's project. The approval serves as the faculty mentor's agreement to participate as the research mentor, as well as their approval of the proposed research budget. If the project is approved, students will be directed to contact their faculty mentor for departmental guidelines on how to access research funds (departmental purchase order or reimbursement guidelines and procedures). This process varies by department.
Proposal Submission and the Review Process When the submission cycle opens, students must log on to the SPUR website and select the Submit a Student-Initiated Project tab to create a new project. The research proposal and budget, as well as a copy of the student's unofficial transcript, must be uploaded to the website. Once uploaded, the faculty mentor must also log on to approve the student's project in order to be considered.
Research project proposals will be reviewed by a committee comprised of the Assistant Dean, Associate Dean, Executive Associate Dean, and the SPUR Coordinator. Projects are evaluated on the strength of the research proposal, the thoroughness of the proposed budget, and the student's academic performance. Students will be notified of the committee's decision by email.
Enrolling in Research Units The SPUR program requires students with approved projects to enroll in research units by the end of the fifth week of instruction. Funds are not released to faculty mentor accounts until the SPUR coordinator has verified that all students are enrolled in units.
The faculty mentor and student must complete the Application for Independent Study Research and submit to 260 Mulford Hall. The department on the application must correspond to the faculty mentor's department. The number of units are determined between the student and faculty mentor. One unit is the equivalent of three hours of research to be conducted per week. 99/199 units may only be taken on a P/NP basis. If the student is participating in the CNR Honors Program, they must be enrolled in H196 units by the enrollment deadline.
During the summer term, students are not required to enroll in units. In lieu of enrolling in units, students may submit a
Peekaboo handbag in Roman leather Fendi U9hmf
, signed by their faculty mentor, to the SPUR Coordinator no later than the last day of instruction of the preceding spring semester. For an overview of summer application deadlines, please see the calendar.
Awarding of the SPUR Grant No funding shall be paid out to students directly so as not to disadvantage students on financial aid, for whom the grant or stipend amount would be deducted from their financial aid package for the year.
During the fifth week of instruction, the SPUR Coordinator verifies that the student has enrolled in the required units before SPUR funds are awarded. The appropriate departmental and Dean's Office financial officers will also be notified of the amount of funding being awarded to each project. The SPUR grant will be transferred to the faculty mentor's research account during the 7th week of instruction. Students are urged to work with their faculty mentor if funding is needed earlier in the semester.
It is the faculty mentor's responsibility to guide the student through departmental procedures for submitting purchase orders or reimbursement requests.
Final Grades and End of Semester Report Students are required to provide feedback on their experience with the SPUR program. These reports are submitted online through the SPUR website. With the researchers' permission, feedback may be shared with the CNR alumni who donated the funds that support the SPUR program. End of semester reports are due on the last day of instruction. See the deadlines calendar for exact dates.
Faculty mentors are not required to submit a final report for student-initiated projects, but they are required to report the student's grade on CalCentral at the end of the term.
Sharing Your Research at the CNR Poster Session
Undergraduates benefiting from this collaboration with faculty mentors and from the generous financial support of CNR alumni are required to share their completed or in progress research project with the CNR community in the form of a research poster. The research poster summarizing the project and (expected) results may be presented at the fall or spring

. The SPUR Coordinator will send out information regarding poster session dates, registration, and printing.

JustLeadershipUSA (JLUSA) is dedicated to cutting the US correctional population in half by 2030. JLUSA empowers people most affected by incarceration to drive policy reform.
Emerging Leadership Development Training for the Formerly Incarcerated JLUSA believes that America's most challenging barrier to expansive, systemic criminal and juvenile justice reform is the absence of clear and consistent leadership by those who have been directly affected by our failed criminal justice policies. Through our Emerging Leaders trainings and our 12-month Leading with Conviction training , JLUSA is building a nationwide network of advocates and organizers united by a shared vision for justice reform.
Emerging Leaders are highly motivated individuals with a strong commitment to making a real difference in their community of choice. Typically, they are just stepping into their role as organizational and/or community leaders and must simultaneously juggle their professional development needs with their desire to make real change. Our regional Emerging Leaders trainings are professional sessions with a skilled facilitator and a dynamic and participatory agenda.
While not required, participants with the following characteristics are most successful and gain most from Emerging Leaders training:
