The ISL control system gives you a choice between an Automotive and a Variable Speed Accelerator. The choice determines the "feel" of the accelerator pedal and should be made with vehicle configuration and operator preference in mind. Some vehicles are equipped with a cab switch that can be used to select the desired accelerator type. The system also supports the installation of a remote accelerator pedal in specialty applications and can even deactivate the accelerator pedal under desired conditions.
Accelerator TypeThe Automotive Accelerator gives the performance you are used to having with Cummins engines. With this choice, accelerator pedal position determines the engine's torque output (half accelerator position will give you 50% of the engines available torque). If the operator desires more torque to resume a constant speed while climbing a hill, they must depress the accelerator pedal. Using this accelerator type, the accelerator pedal will "feel" the same as your automobile. If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission, the selection of the Automotive Accelerator type is required. With the selection of the Variable Speed accelerator type, the accelerator pedal position determines engine speed rather than torque output (half accelerator position will give you 50% of the engine's rated RPM). The engine will hold the desired speed under varying load conditions by changing fueling. The Variable Speed Accelerator operates in a similar manner to the "All Speed" accelerators used in the past.
Switchable Accelerator TypeVehicles may be equipped with a switch to change the Accelerator type. There are no required programmable parameters for this feature. The OEM must correctly install the switch and associated wiring to enable. If the vehicle is equipped, the operator may change accelerator types with the flip of a switch. Some operators may choose to change accelerator types under specific driving conditions, but most importantly, the feature gives the vehicle flexibility. Many operations require vehicles to be driven by more than one operator. In this case, each driver can adjust the accelerator type to their preference. This increases operator comfort and satisfaction.
Remote AcceleratorSome specialty applications require the operator to have pedal activated speed control away from the vehicle cab. In these applications, use of a remote accelerator pedal is common. The ISL control system is capable of supporting the installation of a secondary accelerator pedal. The Remote Accelerator feature must be enabled and the OEM must correctly install the pedal, switch, and associated wiring. Depending on the application requirements, the OEM can setup the hardware to activate the remote accelerator pedal with the same or opposite accelerator type as the cab accelerator pedal. If the vehicle is equipped with a cab switch to select accelerator types, the switch may also be used to change the accelerator type of the remote accelerator pedal.
Accelerator InterlockVehicles may be setup to disable the accelerator pedals (cab and remote) under desired conditions. The ISL engine is capable of disabling the accelerator pedal based on a switched input. There are no required programmable parameters for this feature. The OEM must correctly install the hardware and associated wiring to enable. The most typical application for this option is the school bus. When the bus door is open, a switched input alerts the control system, thus disabling the accelerator pedal.

text: From this article in Electrek: Tesla is working to turn its vehicles into Wi-Fi hotspots, introduces new chip and module It looks like Tesla is or will be installing a new USB/Bluetooth/Wi-Fi hub chip in it's cars. "The Qualcomm Atheros industry leading AP Mode feature allows the QCA6234 device to operate as both a station and an Access Point, enabling seamless station-to-station interconnection with all the benefits of standard infrastructure-level simplicity (no special client software or settings required), security, and power save functionality." Electrek speculates that this may allow Tesla to provide additional functionality of WiFi hotspot when the "free" data access expires after four years. This could allow them to start charging for data access and provide additional functionality.

Inovio sticks with prostate cancer drug
Roche may have scuttled its prostate cancer collaboration with Inovio, but it hasn't shaken the latter company's confidence in its pipeline.
Instead, the Pennsylvania drugmaker said in a statement Monday that it would continue to develop its experimental immuno-oncology drug INO-5150, and said it expects to kick off Phase-I clinical trials in the first half of next year. The treatment targets both the prostate-specific membrane antigen as well as the prostate-specific antigen.
Inovio and Roche remain linked in the hepatitis B space, and will continue to develop INO-1800.

Official website of the Department of Homeland Security
SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. — Thursday morning, a Mexican national woman with a child inside her truck was arrested on Interstate 5 for smuggling methamphetamine.
The incident occurred at approximately 7 a.m. Agents became suspicious of a 41-year-old woman driving a 2007 Ford F-150 on I-5 and referred her for a secondary inspection. In secondary, a K-9 performed a sniff of the vehicle, resulting in a positive alert. Agents searched the vehicle and discovered 15 bundles of methamphetamine hidden behind a rear-seat backrest. When agents notified the driver of their discovery and attempted to arrest the woman, she resisted and placed her 9-year-old U.S. citizen daughter between her and the arresting agent. Nearby agents responded to help the agent quietly handcuff the woman and calm the child.
The bundles of meth weighed 24.14 pounds and are valued at $241,400.
The woman was turned over to the Drug Enforcement Administration and agents contacted County of San Diego Child Welfare Services, who took custody of the child. The vehicle was seized by the U.S. Border Patrol.
To prevent the illicit smuggling of humans, drugs, and other contraband, the U.S. Border Patrol maintains a high level of vigilance on corridors of egress away from our Nation's borders. To report suspicious activity to the U.S. Border Patrol, contact San Diego Sector at (619) 498-9900.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection is the unified border agency within the Department of Homeland Security charged with the management, control and protection of our nation's borders at and between the official ports of entry. CBP is charged with keeping terrorists and terrorist weapons out of the country while enforcing hundreds of U.S. laws.

Sheffield Wednesday manager Dave Jones was delighted with the impact new signing Rodri made on his debut in 3-2 win over Birmingham.
The forward, signed on a season-loan loan from Barcelona B, was a constant menace until he was withdrawn on the hour mark to a standing ovation from the Hillsborough faithful.
The former Spain Under-21 international provided the spark the Owls needed in the final third, making up for missing an early chance by sidestepping Steven Caldwell to fire low past Jack Butland in the Birmingham goal to make it 2-0.
"He cramped up at the end, but you can see what he has got," Jones said.
"He has got something you are always trying to teach forwards. You're next step must be forward and he always seems to find that space. When we get him fitter and he adapts we will see a lot more of him.
"He has the European glide and arrogance about him. His control and vision; we are expecting big things from the kid. He is only young and we have an option to buy him. But it was his first game and if he gets better than what he has shown, then I think everyone will be really pleased."
Wednesday dominated the opening period and entered half-time with a two-goal cushion after Rodri followed up Reda Johnson's opener. Birmingham manager Lee Clark turned to Nikola Zigic for inspiration at the interval and, although the big striker halved the deficit, the lively Jermaine Johnson capped off an impressive game with a third for Wednesday.
Clark, who saw Marlon King net a consolation from the penalty spot in injury time, said: "We gave poor goals away and gave ourselves too much to do. I take full responsibility for our formation. We knew their crowd would be behind them so I went with three midfielders to dictate the midfield.
"Hopefully to quieten them down but it gave them momentum."

Barnes and Noble nook vs. Amazon Kindle: Size comparison shots
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Features, Handhelds,
Hot on the heels of our Barnes & Noble nook unboxing gallery, we got a ton of requests from you guys asking us to compare the nook directly against the Kindle 2. So we put the nook right up against Amazon's Kindle 2, and shot some photos. In a nutshell, the nook is smaller in length and width, but is a little but thicker than the Kindle 2. I personally don't think one has an advantage over the other in terms of size, but hey, check out the nook vs Kindle size comparison gallery, and judge for yourself, mmkay?
Barnes & Noble nook unboxing!
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Features, Galleries, Handhelds,
We just landed a Barnes & Noble nook, and while our review is forthcoming, we figured it'd only be appropriate to hit you with a nice gallery of unboxing photos of the device aimed to take on the Amazon Kindle. We give you a look at the nook packaging, touchscreen, welcome screen, and of course, multiple views of the hardware itself. Our early impressions? The nook is nice, and feel great in the hand.
Head on over to our unboxing gallery to check out our Barnes & Noble nook photos, and let us know what you think, and what you want to hear about!
Barnes & Noble Nook free overnight shipping with pre-order
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Handhelds,
Looks like Barnes & Noble is just as enthusiastic about getting their Nook e-reader into your hands as you are. If you pre-order a Nook, you'll even get upgraded to free Expedited Air Service shipping. That's basically overnight, saving you about $24 or so. Seriously, this thing blow the Kindle out of the water, so what are you waiting for?

Barnes & Noble Nook e-reader: $260, color touchscreen, pre-order now
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Handhelds,
Someone over on the Barnes & Noble web team seems to have jumped the gun, because the official Nook site was up for a few minutes, before quickly being pulled down. Luckily, we were able to get in, and even pre-order a unit, before things got pulled. The B&N Nook e-reader runs Android, and looks like it'll give the Amazon Kindle a run for its money.
The device features a 6-inch screen, with a 3.5-inch color touchscreen beneath it. This gives you a quick method to browse your library, the store, and input text into the device. Definitely much easier than the Kindle's hard keyboard. The device measures in at 7.7 x 4.9 x 0.5-inches, and weighs 11.2 ounces. You get 10 days of battery life if you turn off wireless, and the battery takes 3.5 hours to go from empty to full when plugged into a wall outlet. Speaking of wireless, the Nook actually sports both a 3G connection from AT&T, as well as built-in Wi-Fi 802.11b/g. Definitely an advantage over the Kindle, because even if you have poor cell reception, you can just connect to Wi-Fi to download a book. The Nook also includes 2GB of internal storage (enough to hold 1500 books,) a microSD slot for adding even more storage, MP3 playback, built-in speaker, headphone jack, and micro USB port for charging and syncing.
So, aside from the above, what sets this thing apart from the Kindle? For starters, you can lend books to friends for up to two weeks at a time, and they don't even need a Nook of their own. They can access the Nook book content on an iPhone, iPod touch, BlackBerry, PC, or Mac. The lending of literature is one thing that went away with the Kindle, and we are happy to see it return with Nook. The Barnes & Noble store also has over a million titles available for download, with more than 500,000 of those being free ebooks. The Nook can also read PDFs, something the Kindle 2 can't do.
The Barnes & Noble Nook is available now for pre-order.

Barnes & Noble Nook e-reader set to launch tomorrow, color touchscreen, $259
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Handhelds, Rumors,
Looks like Barnes & Noble is set to take the wraps off of their ebook reader tomorrow, and according to the Wall Street Journal, it'll be the Barnes & Noble Nook that they'll be unveiling. The Nook, pictured above (thanks Giz,) is unique because it has a standard e-ink display like the Kindle, but also sports a color touchscreen beneath the traditional display. Why? Well, try typing anything of length on an Amazon Kindle, and you'll quickly realize that even that task could use some help. The Barnes & Noble Nook will sell for $259 (same price as the Kindle,) and will also allow users to lend e-books to friends. Obviously, we can't wait to see it. We've got one more image for you after the jump.

Who doesn't love clean, sparkling tile floors, or wood floors that gleam after a good mopping? But if you have small children or pets, you may not want them crawling around on a floor that's just been wiped down with chemical cleaners, right? Happily, this doesn't mean you have to resign yourself to less-than-immaculate floors, nor does it complicate matters much. Here are recipes for homemade, natural floor cleaners that you can make yourself – most likely from ingredients right from your very own pantry.
Basic Floor Cleaner
This floor cleaner works well on all floor types – sealed wood, tile, laminate and linoleum – for regular cleaning. And it really couldn't be simpler. Simply mix equal parts of white vinegar and hot water, and mop. There's no need to rinse, and the vinegar smell dissipates once the floors have dried (promise!). The vinegar acts as a mild disinfectant and leaves a nice shine.
Wood Floor Cleaner and Polish
If you're looking to add a bit of shine to your wood floors, give this easy recipe a try:
This formula does double duty. The hot water and lemon clean the floor, and the addition of olive oil leaves your wood floors with a nice, natural sheen. Simply apply it to your floors with a mop that you've wrung out fairly well; then let it dry on its own. No need for rinsing – once it dries, your floors will look great!
Disinfecting Floor Cleaner
This recipe is great for the bathroom and any other areas of your home that need good, regular, disinfecting.
- 1 gallon of hot water
- 1/4 cup of Borax
Mix the water and Borax in a mop bucket, stirring to dissolve the Borax. Borax is a great disinfectant and will clean up even the grossest messes. You don't need to rinse your floors after mopping with this combo, either.
There you have it: Three incredibly easy, natural floor cleaners to use all around your home. For pennies, you can have both a clean home and peace of mind.

CHANDLER, Ariz. -- A man lost control of his car Tuesday and crashed it through a wall then into a backyard swimming pool.
The driver was able to crawl out of the Mercedes sedan and was taken to the hospital as a precaution. No one else was injured.
The crash happened near the intersection of Elgin and Fairview streets in Chandler Tuesday afternoon.
Neighbors called 911 after hearing the crash and were stunned to see a luxury car in the pool. The front end was completely submerged with just the trunk and back wheels sticking out.
The impact of the crash was so strong, it sent chunks of the block wall flying across the yard.
The homeowner said his insurance should cover the damage.
Chandler police have not said whether the driver will be cited.

Ice Sculptures
This espresso maker stood before a kitchenware store. An ice shoe sat in front of a shoe store. You can see some of the sculptures below. Others I did not include were a cat and dog in front of a vet, bottles and glasses in front of a bar, a strong man in front of a spa... Each was a delightful find.

This is one of the shops we stopped in. What a clutter of items! In another store the proprietor was fast asleep on a chair with a book in her lap. We tiptoed out so as not to wake her.
Nice to see old places come to life again. It is now used as a concert venue - though not for the kind of concerts I go to, so I guess I won't get to see the inside!

At Summit Park in Winter
Nature's Sculpture, a photo by susanvg on Flickr.
The bare trees afford views of the city. Spring will bring back the leafy curtain which will hide it once again.
Dogs play, romping through the snow, enjoying being untethered. What fun to see them, tails high, chasing and playing in the snow.
Each day the sun sets a little later. A little longer to enjoy the outdoors.

No Picnic Today
No Picnic Today, a photo by susanvg on Flickr.
Here the water doesn't freeze as the river races over the rapids. In summer people ride the rapids. No one would be foolhardy enough to venture over these icy cold waters now.
Plants lie dormant. Here and there a few dried leaves still cling to branches. Mostly trees stand, their skeletons bared.
Even my camera gave out in the cold. So I headed back to warmth to thaw my fingers.

I feel sorry for all the shut ins, the young parents with kids who may have to dress them in winter and trudge out in the snow to get their mail and those with disabilities. And what about anyone with a short-term illness - the flu or whatever? In addition there are parts of the city where there is barely place to install these units. Snow clearance is already a challenge with parking meters etc. We don't need more clutter near our sidewalks.
Change - we have to accept it - but not when it is a step backwards!

Debating the Issues
Spam has become a major IT issue, requiring companies to devote sometimes teams of tech workers to deal with this bandwidth-clogging problem. It overflows inboxes, crashes email servers, and increasingly carries a payload of damaging viruses.
Kerry's technology advisor says spam is a tricky issue and Kerry's administration would allow the tech market to come up with solutions for it.
''He would rely as much as possible on the marketplace for solutions and creating new technologies that empower users,'' says Kalil.
To help combat the growing spam problem, last year Bush signed the CAN-Spam Act into law. For one thing, the law calls for spammers to provide an opt-out link within the body of the message. The act also is designed to help level civil and criminal penalties on spam offenders.
''The new law establishes important 'rules of the road' for civil enforcement by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), other federal agencies, state attorneys general, and ISPs to help curb Spam,'' Bush wrote in response to CompTIA's question.
However, Atkinson of the Progressive Policy Institute says the CAN-Spam Act hasn't decreased the amount of spam hitting his inbox.
''It is a highly ineffective and compromised bill,'' he says. ''No one should be surprised to see spam continue to increase. It never even hiccupped.''
Bailey says that while more needs to be done in the battle against spam, the act was a good stepping stone.
''It was an important first step,'' Bailey says. ''It wasn't the last step, and not the only step, but a necessary step.'' Bailey adds that it is too soon to tell if the act has had any effect on the amount of spam circulating the Internet.
Shawn McCarthy, senior analyst and program manager for government IT spending at IDC, an industry analyst firm based in Framingham, Mass., says the CAN-Spam act hasn't done the job.
''It has made a slight difference, but that's not enough,'' McCarthy says. ''Spam amounts dipped modestly, but only temporarily.''
McCarthy says he thinks it will be difficult for an administration to halt spam without eliminating all advertising emails.
Dealing with Job Loss
Over the past three years, many American IT workers have lost their jobs because U.S. companies moved the work to foreign shores, taking advantage of lower pay scales in countries like India, China and the Philippines. This offshoring trend began with call center and entry-level programming jobs, but it's moving up the IT ladder now with mid-level and even some upper-level technology jobs disappearing here in the U.S.
And with high-end, high-paying jobs on the line, offshoring has become a political hot button. What should, and can, be done is being hotly debated.
''Today's jobs tend to move to where they can be done more effectively,'' says Gordon Haff, an analyst with Illuminata, a Nashua, N.H.-based industry analyst firm. ''There is not a great deal a government can or should do about that movement.''
Both candidates say they recognize that offshoring of U.S. tech jobs is an inevitable aspect of the global economy, however their approaches to dealing with the issue differ.
''This is a business trend,'' Bailey says. ''We may see it taper off a bit. No one really knows how many jobs are being moved overseas.''
Thomas Lenard, Ph.D, vice president for research at The Progress and Freedom Foundation, a conservative think tank based in Washington D.C., says he thinks the Bush administration is handling the outsourcing issue well.
''They reacted well to the trend,'' Lenard says. ''This is a part of international trade that benefits us all.''
Bailey says Bush is concerned when any American worker loses his job, regardless of the reason. He says the Bush administration is focused on job-training services that aid the American worker in finding a new career.
Kalil, though, says the Bush administration has created a massive amount of job loss.
''Look at the results,'' Kalil says. ''There are 800,000 lost IT jobs in the US. Bush is the first president since Hoover that we see a net decline in the private sector.''
Kerry will work to create 12 million new jobs if elected, Kalil says.
Many analysts think IT workers should be awarded the same benefits, counseling and job retraining given to manufacturing workers when their jobs began moving overseas in previous decades.
Haff says these actions are vital in easing the job displacement process.
''Those kinds of programs can only ease the pain and relocation somewhat,'' Haff says. ''They are never going to eliminate the burden of these shifts, but they are certainly well-worth doing.''
Kalil says that while there will always be job loss due to outsourcing, Kerry's administration would take steps to curb this trend and support unemployed Americans. He says Kerry would diminish the tax breaks given to companies for sending jobs overseas and create tax credits for new jobs.
But Bailey notes that during his presidency, Bush has increased the Training Assistance Adjustment budget by 150 percent. He also has upped job-training funds by 12 percent.
Bush also plans to propose a Personal Re-employment Account that will grant displaced workers funds toward finding a new job. If the person lands a new job within 13 weeks, the balance goes into their pocket, Bailey says.
Building Cyber Security
Malware, industrial spies and black hat hackers cause massive amounts of damage to enterprise networks every year. Now foreign-based hackers are being added to that mix. Without a viable solution neutralizing these attacks, the candidates also voiced concerns about cyber security and just how to handle it.
''We need a president who will devote the energy of the White House to making our networks -- our 21st century infrastructure -- stronger and more secure,'' Kerry wrote in response to CompTIA's question. ''That means supporting a Cyber Security Intelligence System ready to detect these threats.''
Kalil says Kerry's Cyber Security Intelligence System refers to ways to stomp out new kinds of worms and viruses. He says Kerry plans on increasing funding for research and development so the IT industry can design technologies and solutions for these dangers.
The Bush camp takes a slightly different stance.
''The investments being made today in securing our nation's cyber infrastructure and in cyber security R&D are working to ensure that future generations of network software and hardware are less vulnerable to an attack and can maintain critical operations even when compromised,'' Bush writes.

2008 was the year Yahoo probably wishes it could forget.
From the company's disastrous handling of Microsoft's acquisition bid to its failed search advertising deal with Google to continued marginalization of its search business, 2008 showed one of the internet's biggest brands to be a company in disarray.
With a new CEO, Carol Bartz, at the helm in 2009, Yahoo is hoping that 2009 is a year that won't be so forgettable.
Nobody expects Yahoo to go from bust to boom in the midst of a global economic slowdown but there are a lot of important steps Yahoo needs to take if it hopes to recover some of its past glory.
If AllThingsDigital's Kara Swisher has accurate information from her sources, Bartz isn't wasting any time taking those steps. According to Swisher, Yahoo may announce as early as this week some major organizational changes that are designed to reshape the company for success.
The two biggest steps she may take:
- Rolling back some of the reorganizational measures taken by former CEO Jerry Yang and director Sue Decker. That means that some executives are likely to be out of work.
- Centralizing product development. Currently most of Yahoo's media properties are managed individually by separate divisions. Under the rumored Bartz plan, all product development would be run under Ash Patel, who is the EVP of the company's Audience Product Division. Interestingly, Swisher reports that editorial programming would still remain separate.
Will it work?
Nobody knows. The concept of centralizing product development to eliminate redundancies and gain efficiencies has its proponents and detractors.
One unnamed supporter in the Yahoo ranks told Swisher:
This is a good and smart plan to achieve better balance between the benefits of a globally scalable product development and the need for regions to be very close to and responsive to local user and advertiser needs…there is huge upside (in user engagement and monetization) that will come from a deeper focus on editorial, content (original and licensed) and programming within the properties and most importantly across the network.
Yet detractors argue that product development and editorial programming go hand and hand. One told Swisher, "It's like separating the cook from the recipe and ingredients."
Personally, I don't think there's a right and wrong answer when it comes to reinventing Yahoo.
Bartz's success will depend on whether or not she is able to convince Yahoo employees that she has a viable plan; one that they believe in.
Organizational structure matters; the people within the organization matter more. If they don't buy into Bartz and her vision, even a good plan won't work.
That's perhaps the biggest challenge Bartz faces. Yahoo is like a ship that is bruised and battered coming into port after a long voyage. After patching the ship up as much as possible, if she can't convince the crew that the ship is seaworthy before it's due to sail its next voyage, she had better find a new crew.

Little Sisters of the Government
A revealing case about the Administration and religious conscience.
This week Justice Sonia Sotomayor issued an unusual injunction merely hours before the Affordable Care Act's birth-control mandate was supposed to apply to an order of Catholic nuns. The Justice Department replied on Friday, and the Administration's disdain for religious conscience still retains the power to shock.
Later this term the Supreme Court will hear arguments related to the ObamaCare requirement that all employer health plans must furnish contraception or else pay a tax penalty, but those cases involve corporations....

Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan is considered a key figure for markets and investors. Dr Azar Jammine, Chief Economist Econometix, paints a bleak scenario if the Finance Minister were to leave because of the Hawks investigation.
It is critically important, especially in light of the events of the past year where there has been growth in concerns of state capture.— Dr Azar Jammine, Chief Economist Econometix
Allied concerns would be over credit ratings agencies looking very closely at what is happening in terms of our ability to control government fiances, added Jammine
We have to nip it in the bud and Pravin Gordhan has been in the forefront of attempts to do that.— Dr Azar Jammine, Chief Economist Econometix
If not, it would cause a worse market meltdown than last December.
Gordhan has built a very strong team around him, and Jammine says they would likely just depart if Gordhan was no longer there.
jammine says the worst case scenario of Gordhan departure would see the rand plummet fuurther, infaltion rocket, interest rates rise, cosumers suffer even more and an economy that would spiral downward into severe recession.
He says if the situation is of a more long term nature between Girdhan and the hawls, it would create longer term uncertainty which could have an ironic positive spin off.
Uncertainty would cause the rand to remain depressed and exporters can take advantage of that.

Artist: Andrew Reid
Title: "Imagination Encircles The World"
Medium: Mural - Painted
Size: 5' x 120' x 1'
Year Installed: 2003
Venue: Stirling Road Branch Library
Upon entering into the foyer of the library, one encounters the artwork installed on a long wall above the information desk. A mixed media work with cedar wood sculptural elements placed in front of the painted canvas which is mounted directly onto the wall. Being site specific, the interlocking carved biomorphic forms provide an organic and handmade quality that softens the building's angular modernist architecture. Using numerous visual appropriational devices, the artwork contains themes that address the historical role of a 21st century library. Also, the artwork serves to connect the two parts of the Library together: children and adult sections.
"Working closely with the architect, Julio Webel of MC Harry Associates, I have produced a work that belongs in its environment. My goal, since beginning this piece three years ago, was to use art to convey information describing what I may or may not expect from a library - a multiplicity of things to seek out and discover. Utilizing various graphic approaches, from figurative to abstract, and in two and three dimensions, I have created an intertwined stream of styles, subjects and materials that should speak to the viewer on different levels. For a library this is essential. Through this project, I have introduced into my work the biomorphic qualities of dimensional carving, a most rewarding process."

Admissions Procedures
St. Olaf College seeks to assemble a student body which reflects a variety of geographic, cultural, economic, racial, ethnic, and religious backgrounds. We want each class to be a diverse and energetic group of students eager to undertake the challenges of a liberal arts education. Admissions decisions take into consideration academic achievement, academic aptitude, and personal qualifications as well as leadership and significant involvement in school and community.
If you have questions about the application process, please contact the Admissions Office at 800-800-3025. Many students find a campus visit helpful in their search for a college. If you would like information about scheduling a campus visit, please contact the campus visit coordinator at 800-800-3025 or 800-ASKOLAF (800-275-6523).
A secondary school program combining breadth and depth is an excellent preparation for study at St. Olaf. Advanced Placement or enriched courses, when available, are particularly helpful. We recommend a program of study that includes the following:
- Four years of English;
- Three to four years of mathematics;
- Two to three years of natural science;
- Three to four years of social studies; and
- Two to three years of the same second language, including study in the senior year.
We advise students to pursue an academically rigorous high school program that emphasizes creativity, writing, and critical analysis. Analytic and quantitative skills developed in such courses as trigonometry and pre-calculus are important for all students. In addition, we encourage students to take academic electives such as computer science, economics, the fine arts, geography, journalism, sociology, speech, and world history. Keyboarding, word processing, health, and physical education, while valued, are not appropriate substitutes for academic subjects.
Careful attention is given to each application, and explanation of special circumstances are encouraged. St. Olaf offers a variety of courses designed to meet the diverse needs and qualifications of entering students.
Application Requirements
Each application for admission is reviewed on its merit. Applicants to St. Olaf must submit:
- A $40 application fee (waived if the application is completed online).
- The Common Application, available from high school guidance offices or online at http://www.commonapp.org or http://www.stolaf.edu/admissions/applying/materials.html.
- The St. Olaf Common Application Supplement, available from the Admissions Office and online at http://www.commonapp.org or www.stolaf.edu/admissions/applying/materials.html.
- An official transcript from an accredited high school or equivalent (see below). This transcript should include grades through the junior year in high school, The admissions office reserves the right to request grades from the senior year under the Early Action and Regular Decision application processes.
- Scores from either the American College Test (ACT) or the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT1) (see below). Please consult the Admissions Office if you have any questions.
- Two letters of recommendation from teachers of academic subjects. Candidates are also welcome to submit personal recommendations from coaches, music instructors, pastors, and others who know the candidate well.
An official transcript of the high school academic record should be sent by the high school to the Admissions Office. The transcript must show the record of completed high school work, rank in class (where provided), and aptitude test scores.
The single most important academic factor is the achievement record as shown by the candidate's high school transcript. Test results are an important, but secondary, factor. Applicants are advised to take either the ACT or SAT early in the college admissions process, but not later than January of the senior year. High school guidance offices have information on the tests, test dates, testing centers, and registration procedures.
Three types of application — Early Decision, Early Action, and Regular Decision — are available to students:
A. Early Decision Application
Candidates for whom St. Olaf is the first choice may choose to apply under Early Decision. Under Early Decision, qualified candidates who apply by November 1 of the senior year in high school will receive an admission decision by December 1. Early Decision candidates agree that St. Olaf is their first choice and that an offer of admission will be accepted within ten days of notification of admission or within ten days of a financial aid decision, and that the candidate will not initiate any new applications at other colleges upon committing to St. Olaf. Candidates who are unsure whether the commitment an Early Decision application represents is appropriate should contact the Admissions Office for more information.
B. Early Action
Candidates who wish to receive an admissions decision by February 15 should apply by December 1 under the Early Action program. NOTE: All candidates for Academic or Music Scholarships must apply under Early Action or Early Decision.
C. Regular Application
Candidates not applying under Early Decision or Early Action are considered under the Regular Decision application process. Regular Decision candidates may apply at any point during their senior year but are encouraged to apply by the Regular Decision Priority Deadline of January 15 to receive full consideration by the admissions committee.
St. Olaf holds individual auditions for students who apply to the Bachelor of Music program or who wish to be considered for a music scholarship. Candidates must submit a taped audition by December 15 of the senior year. For more information about auditions, contact the Music Department at 507-786-3297. Students applying to the Bachelor of Music program must be admitted to the college prior to admission to the Bachelor of Music Degree. Bachelor of Music candidates must apply Early Decision or Early Action.
College courses completed in accredited liberal arts colleges and universities will be considered for transfer credit at St. Olaf. Students who transfer to St. Olaf are required to follow the regular application procedure and submit an official college transcript from each college attended and a completed dean's form (available from the St. Olaf Admissions Office) from the dean of students of their most recent college or university. After the official transcript is submitted to the Office of Admissions, the registrar will provide the transfer applicant with a written evaluation of credits accepted by St. Olaf.
A maximum of 18 courses may be transferred. St. Olaf requires a residency of 17 courses over the equivalent of two years. The grades earned at other institutions are entered on the St. Olaf record but are not calculated in the St. Olaf Grade Point Average.
TRANSFER COURSES AND CREDITS, as follows and in the Academic Regulations section of this catalog, contains important information about limitations on future transfer courses taken at other colleges after a student transfers to St. Olaf. Transfer students should also refer to the credit scale printed later in this chapter. Questions should be directed to the Office of the Registrar at 507-786-3015.
St. Olaf welcomes applications from American and international students from around the world. A minimum TOEFL score of 550 on the paper-based exam, 213 on the computer-based exam, or 79–80 on the iBT (internet-based TOEFL) is required for non-U.S. citizens seeking admission. The application deadline is February 1 for admission in the fall term.
Services to international students include airport pickups, special orientation sessions, peer counselors, intercultural programs, friendship family program, and academic, financial, and U.S. Immigration counseling.
St. Olaf College was approved for non-immigrant students by the Immigration and Naturalization Service on December 15, 1983, file number SPM 214F0253.000, and is authorized under federal law to enroll F-1 and J-1 non-immigrant students.
Students admitted under Early Action or Regular Decision must notify the Admissions Office of their college choice by May 1, the national candidate reply date. To confirm enrollment, an initial payment is to be made on or before May 1. It will be credited towards the student's comprehensive fee. An additional payment is due by June 1. These payments are neither refundable nor transferable.
The fields in which Advanced Placement and credit may normally be obtained are: art (history and studio), biology, chemistry, English, French, German, government, history (European or American), Latin, mathematics, music, Norwegian, physics, politics, psychology, Russian, and Spanish. See the Academic Regulations section of this catalog for details on Advanced Placement credit.
Consult TRANSFERRING TO ST. OLAF in the Academic Regulations section of this catalog for details.
"Part-time" students are those who intend to graduate from St. Olaf and who register for fewer than three courses. Such students must also apply to the Admissions Office.

The European Space Agency (Esa) has tested a concept to deliver a rover to the surface of Mars using a quadcopter.
Inspired by the Skycrane that lowered Nasa's Curiosity on the Martian surface about two years ago, Esa has called engineers from across Europe to propose an innovative Martian landing concept as part of its StarTiger initiative.
Featuring precise navigation capability, the concept, called Dropter, was tested at Airbus's Trauen site in northern Germany.
"StarTiger is a fresh approach to space engineering," said Peter de Maagt, who oversees the project on behalf of Esa. "Take a highly qualified, well-motivated team, gather them at a single well-equipped site, then give them a fixed time to solve a challenging technical problem."
During the eight-month project, teams from the German Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence, Portuguese company Spin.Works aeronautics, and Poland's Poznań University of Technology Institute of Control and Information Engineering were meeting regularly at Airbus's facilities in Bremen, Germany.
The team started from scratch, developing a complex vision-based navigational system and hazard detection and avoidance capability for the dropship.
The goal was to develop a system capable to identify a safe landing site and a height from which it could winch down its payload – a mock Martian rover - using a set of cables.
During the testing, the drop ship first flew at a maximum height of 17m before descending to about 10m above the ground, where it began lowering the rover on a 5m-long bridle. After dropping the rover gently onto the surface, the dropship would then return to its cruising altitude.
For the purpose of the testing, a 40m by 40 m Mars-scape was created, littered with hazardous rocks, among which the dropship had to pick a safe spot to deliver its payload.
The dropship itself was built using commercially available quadcopter components, with a smaller drone used for preparatory indoor testing.
The quadcopter first navigated into the correct position using GPS and inertial systems before switching into the vision-based navigation mode supplemented by a laser range-finder and barometer to land its rover autonomously.
Having proved the viability of the concept, Esa will further explore the idea for use in future planetary missions.

Side sleepers should search for a cushioning that provides aid with some 'offer', or a functional sensation aid that you could receive from foam cushionings, being made up of all-natural, memory or latex. You ought to absolutely moreover look for the sticking to attributes:
Not furthermore Service.
As I will definitely continue to be cost-free from defining do turn down a company variant detailed below, as a bed padding's 'adaptability' has to do with your bodies weight along with elevation. You need to overlook the labelling in addition to search for a cushion that maintains your spinal column fixed the positioning of when you are hing in your corner, the sales aide ought to have the ability to 'fit' you to a cushion, in a similar way as you might obtain suitabled for joggers. You ought to be seeking your back to be in a straight line from the base of your head with to your tail bone. If you are dipping utilizing your waist the bed padding is similarly soft, if you could elimination your hand via a location under your belly later on it is also strong. If you are in fact light, (a whole lot much less after that 50kg's) you will likely require a soft variant, if you are larger (over 100 kg) you could call for a company option.
Profiled Surface area on the Extra padding Core.
A large amount of the costs flexible bed have actually truly profiled cores in order to aid in taking the stress off your shoulders in addition to hips. The concept is that the assistance showcases the centre of the Extra padding Core with various adaptability together with soft premium quality of places ergonomically made to contour your body, in addition to the surface area of the core supplies versatility, utilizing some 'offer' under your heaviest components to acquire remove the anxiousness, reducing the occurrence of pins along with needles along with enhancing blood circulation.
Soft Outer Layer.
You have to on top of that seek an extra padding with a soft outdoors layer, cover or leading layer. Once again this stays in order to help remove the tension and also stress and anxiety at your hip in addition to shoulder. Some covers or leading layers will absolutely be particularly developed to do this. This outdoors layer additionally provides the soft top-notches along with 'cosiness' that will absolutely make the cushioning comfy. You could improve this layer with a bed padding guard or carpeting if you would certainly like it to in fact really feel softer once you get it house. How would I know sleepjunkie or not?

You ought to seek a cushion that holds your head in its rightful configuration, normally contoured cushions are best for this as it will certainly cradle your head. Contoured cushionings currently can be found in a big selection of sizes and shapes, you may obtain reduced or high ones to match your dimension, in addition to soft with to service to obtain your wanted advantage.

WASHINGTON – President Bush will meet with a bipartisan, bi-racial group of Mississippi officials Wednesday to push for the confirmation of an embattled nominee for the Federal Appeals court. At the same time, lawmakers are partaking in some extraordinary backroom propositions to get the president's nominee confirmed.
Sources tell Fox News that Bush wants to convey his strong support for U.S. District Court Judge Charles Pickering, who has twice appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee for browbeating question-and-answer sessions about his positions on racial and reproductive right issues.
The committee is expected to vote on the nomination Thursday, and Senate Democrats, who make up the majority of the committee, could vote en bloc to reject the nomination.
The outcome could be fixed, however, if lawmakers can score a deal with three-term Mississippi Rep. Charles Pickering, Jr., son of Judge Pickering, who has been approached about giving up his seat in exchange for a positive confirmation vote for his father, sources say.
Sources say intermediaries told Rep. Pickering that if he accepted a congressional redistricting plan in his home state that heavily favored Democrats and would probably lead to his own defeat in this election year, he could save his father's nomination.
Pickering, Jr. has already gone to Federal court to win a dispute over the Democratically-drawn redistricting plan that would have combined Pickering's Congressional District with another currently represented by Democrat Rep. Ronnie Shows.
The district favored by the Democrats but defeated in court would have been 37 percent African-American and would have heavily favored Democrats. Pickering won a district that has slightly different boundaries and an African-American population of 30 percent.
As Judge Pickering's confirmation hearings continued in February, sources say his Rep. Pickering was contacted by lobbyist Printz Bolin, a former aide to Mississippi Republican Sen. Trent Lott. Bolin was acting as a go-between for consultant Richard Buckman, formerly a GOP consultant now working for Shows and Rep. Bennie G. Thompson, D-Miss, sources said.
Sources with direct knowledge of the talks say some Judiciary Committee Democrats opposed to the nomination had discussed the exchange with other members of the Senate who had privately expressed support for the deal. They could not say, however, whether the proposed deal was concocted by lawmakers on Capitol Hill or the intermediaries themselves.
Numerous Democrats and Republicans in the House and Senate say they heard about the proposed deal. But Chairman of Mississippi's Democratic Party Ricky Cole said the deal was actually proposed by state Republicans.
Coles said he was personally contacted by a D.C. lobbyist named Richard Mattox who said he was acting as a go-between for Republicans.
The GOP scoffs at the allegation, noting that Mattox used to work for Democratic Rep. Thompson.
Neither Rep. Pickering nor Judge Pickering would comment on the deal. They are deeply involved in trying to revive the nomination, and have not accepted any deals yet. In fact, Friday the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the district map favored by Pickering, rejecting the one proposed by the Mississippi legislature.

Following a Monday night loss described by Coach Nalin Sood as their worst effort of the year, the Mountlake Terrace boys basketball team fell to the Glacier Peak Grizzlies 57-39 at Glacier Peak High School.
Despite the setback, the Hawks finish the 2013-2014 regular season tied atop the Wesco 3A South Conference and head into the District 1 3A Boys Basketball Tournament as the No. 2 South seed. Glacier Peak, which finished the year with an identical 9-4 Wesco League record as Terrace, gets the No. 1 South seed as the result of a coin flip.
The Grizzlies showed they were the better of the two rivals on Wednesday night with a commanding second-half performance. Leading by just five at halftime, Glacier Peak quickly built the lead to 10 points in the third quarter, then outscored the Hawks 18-6 in the final eight minutes.
Terrace got to within two points of the Grizzlies with 2:47 left in the third quarter following back-to-back three-point shots by sophomore Gabe Altenberger, but Glacier Peak responded with a 14-1 run over the next four and a half minutes to put the game out-of-reach.
Altenberger, who averages less than six points per game for the Hawks, scored 25 of Terrace's 39 total points, his highest mark of the season. The Grizzlies were led by the 24 points of Trey Chambers; Luke Neill scored 15, while Brady Southard added 10.
MTHS Boys Basketball vs. Glacier Peak, Feb. 5
Mountlake Terrace 11 8 14 6 — 39
Glacier Peak 11 13 15 18 — 57

Bought a second hand Astra recently and began to notice the inevitable bumps and dings. Did some research and seemed the best product was the three pen set in Vauxhall Silver - however, I noticed this product used the same paint pen so opted to just got for the pen as marks were in relatively unnoticeable spots. This product did an excellent job of just touching in a few marks which were down the to primer. If you're looking at scratches on the doors etc which go down further I'd go for the whole three pen set but for small bumps on the bumpers this is perfect.Date published: 2016-01-04Rated 5 out of 5 by kay29 from wowsers Do need a steady hand but once you get hang of it, its brill.

6 May 2011 • Though it never reached hurricane status, 2007's Tropical Storm Erin killed 16 people in the U.S. Southern Plains. The storm intrigued meteorologists: it weakened to a tropical depression before making landfall in Texas, then unexpectedly restrengthened over western Oklahoma more than two days later, when it generated sustained winds of 95 kilometers per hour (60 mph) and gusts of more than 130 km/hr (80 mph). Clark Evans has examined the storm in detail during his postdoctoral stint at NCAR's Advanced Study Program, with a paper to be published this spring in Monthly Weather Review. In fall 2011, Evans will become an assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee.
What makes the case of Erin so distinctive?
Erin actually became stronger over Oklahoma than it did over water. There are no other cases I know of where a landfalling tropical cyclone reintensified over the Southern Plains. A couple of tropical systems did intensify over the eastern United States—David in 1979 and Danny in 1997—but those had a little bit of a kick from upper-level support.
What were the main factors that made Erin intensify?
It appears that a number of things came together. Soil moisture across the southern Plains was very high for mid-August, in some areas twice as high as it normally would be. Part of that was due to a very wet spring and early summer, and part of it was due to rainfall from Erin itself shortly after it made landfall. Coupled with deep atmospheric moisture from the Gulf of Mexico, the rich soil moisture helped support long-lived, robust convection that aided in reintensifying the vortex. Also, vertical wind shear was very low across the southern Plains. It's well known that if vertical wind shear is too high around a tropical cyclone, it will make the storm lopsided and prevent convection from organizing. We also hypothesize that Erin's movement toward the axis of the low-level jet stream helped enhance convergence near the storm, helping to organize the convection around Erin's center. We're going to be looking further into that idea in the months to come.
What might have made Erin strengthen when it did, instead of a bit earlier or later?
Ultimately, one or more of the necessary factors was missing a day earlier or later, with moisture being a key factor. Prior to reintensification, Erin was heading northwest away from the low-level jet axis and away from the richer moisture in both the ground and atmosphere. After it reintensified, Erin began to accelerate northeast into the Mississippi Valley, where the wind shear was much higher and both atmospheric and soil moisture were lower, and the cyclone quickly decayed
Is there any chance of predicting a rare event like Erin?
Heavy rains are commonly observed with tropical systems after landfall, so forecasters did expect locally heavy rains along the track both before and during reintensification. However, they didn't necessarily anticipate the magnitude of rainfall, nor the intensification of the winds and the deepening of the surface low pressure system. There was some evidence in model guidance, particularly in the European model, suggesting the storm might be able to regain some strength. Hindsight is 20-20, but the extreme rarity of the event and lack of support from other guidance make a compelling case for not trusting those guidance products before the event occurred. With a better understanding of events such as Erin, plus improvements to our model guidance products and situational awareness, there certainly is hope for being able to better predict these events in the future. We hope that looking at Erin and other cases like it in further detail will help give us more insight into these rare yet extreme events.

Squeeze the roasted garlic pulp from each clove into a bowl. Add the salt, ground and flaked chiles, cumin, brown sugar, and olive oil and make a wet rub.
Stab holes into the pork loin and insert a quarter of a garlic clove into each. Massage the wet rub all over the meat, pushing some of it in between the two loins. Do this ahead, cover, and refrigerate overnight for maximum flavor penetration.
Fire up the grill, mounding a hot coal bed on one side. Just before grilling, season the meat all over with the salt and a grinding of black pepper.
Set the meat directly over the coals to sear for 2 minutes, making sure to scrape onto the roast any of the coating rub stuck to the plate it was setting on. Sear the remaining 3 sides for 2 minutes each. Push the meat to the other side of the grill, away from the coals. Cover the grill and adjust the heat so that it's from 325 to 350 degrees F inside. Roast for about 1 hour, till the meat reaches an internal temperature of 150 degrees F. Pull the roast off the grill and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Carve and serve immediately, or let it cool completely and then slice for sandwiches.
To make roasted garlic, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Cut the top off of each of two garlic bulb, slicing into the points of the cloves. Place them cut side up on a piece of foil. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Wrap the foil up around the bulbs and bake for 45 to 60 minutes, till they release their perfume. Open the foil and test for doneness. The cloves should squeeze softly when pinched. Bake a little longer if they seem to need it. Roasted garlic keeps for several days in the fridge. Makes 2 bulbs.
