On Tuesday, Nicky and I paid a visit to the neurosurgeon who operated on my subdural hematoma two weeks ago. He officially cleared me to return to work as of October 1 (pending the reception of paperwork by Stevenson's HR office). However, the exact nature of said "work," at least for the remainder of this semester, remains to be determined. My classes and independent study student have been assigned to other faculty members for the balance of the Fall semester. My chair and I are going to have to work out plans for me for the next several months. Obviously, I'd prefer to get right back into the swing of teaching, but I understand the university's caution in this matter. I'm generally feeling fine and am gradually getting my stamina back.
From occasional blog contributor "kenisu" comes the following message regarding a DuckTales initiative:
I've put together a petition to try and get Disney Records or Intrada to
release the complete music score from DuckTales, and it's going to need
all the signatures it can get. If there's any way you can promote this
thing on your blog, I'd appreciate it immensely!

Tennis Triumph ...
Gary Victor, the highly respected coach of the Cal State Northridge women's tennis team, turns 39-years-old this week, and he recently gave himself a birthday gift by teaming with Zbynek Mlynarik to win the doubles championship at the 2008 United States Professional Tennis Association International Championship at the La Quinta Resort Club in Southern California ... Victor and Mlynarik were unseeded in the tournament, but defeated the #2 seeded team in the semi-finals (6-1, 7-5) and the top-seeded team of Marcin Rozpedski and Andrew Scorteanu in the championship match (4-6, 6-4, 6-2) ... Mlynarik, a volunteer tennis coach at CSUN, also won the singles title (7-5, 7-6) ... The victory by Victor and Mlynarik in the championship match was over a team with outstanding credentials ... Rozpedski is the traveling hitting partner for the world's #1 ranked women's tennis player, Ana Ivanovic ... Rozpedski was also a former standout tennis player at UCLA and a Davis Cup player from Poland ... Scorteanu is a former standout player at Fresno State ... Victor says the victory was especially satisfying in that despite his age (39), he and Mlynarik, won the doubles title against much younger players ... Victor will be entering his 12th season as head coach of the Matador women's tennis program this year ... During the past three seasons, under Victor's direction, the Matadors have chalked up a 41-22 record and have been nationally-ranked ... Victor certainly has the credentials to play the game of tennis ... During his collegiate playing days, Victor was a four-year starter at Rutgers University in New Jersey, playing at the #1 singles position ... Mlynarik is no slouch when it comes to playing the game of tennis ... Mlynarik was a touring pro player for ten years ... Mlynarik holds wins over Marcos Baghdatis (Australian Open finalist in 2006) and American Sam Querrey (Querrey made it to the round of 16 at the U.S. Open, before losing to Rafael Nadal) ... Congratulations to Gary and Zbynek on a great win !!!
Fast Facts ...
Matador women's soccer head coach Keith West isn't playing any cup cakes this season ... Already this year, his young Matador team has played Pac-10 powers Arizona, Arizona State and California along with two strong teams from the Mountain West Conference (San Diego State, UNLV) ... Now the toughest test of the season awaits the Matadors when CSUN travels to USC on Sunday (Oct. 5) to face the defending NCAA champion USC Trojans ... Game time is 1:00 p.m. ... Former Matador standout pitcher Leo Rosales pitched for most of the baseball season for the Arizona Diamondbacks ... Rosales, who made his major league debut with the D-Backs on June 15, 2008, had a 1-1 record with an era of 4.20 ... Rosales pitched in 27 games (30 innings) ... Look for Blue Ribbon College Basketball Magazine this week to be the third national pre-season magazine to pick the Matadors men's basketball team to win the Big West title.

It's 5 p.m. and as I look around me I realize the house is I complete disarray. The dishes are waiting to be loaded into the dishwasher, because the dishes inside are still waiting to be unloaded. The laundry is sorted, and in piles in the bedrooms, but that's all the farther I got with it, and so we've been walking around the piles for a full day now. And counter space, no matter how much of it we have, every inch of it is currently taken up with some item that should not be there but remains anyway, patiently waiting for someone, anyone to notice, and dutifully return it to it's home.
And so, like most other weeks, I am on a super woman sweep through the house on this evening, in spite of my tired feet, to whip things into shape around here.
It's moments like this when I think there must be some better way to become more organized. I always seem to get it all done in bursts instead of the steady constant effort I strive for.
I've tried so many methods, and few of them seem to work. I get all sorts of clever ideas on Pinterest and other places. For all the clutter by the back door, I've recently tried to organize using one of those desk organizers from the office store and it helps, once you use it! I didn't get mine labeled quite as nicely as the pictures I saw, but hey, I tried. And I do find that fewer things are actually lost now than before so it's a step in the right direction.
I've tried baskets of all shapes and sizes to collect things like hats and gloves, dog toys, and magazines. But, all those do is fill up and then eventually over flow and become a project of their own. Why is that?
The big problem is, no matter what the system, someone has to run the show. Someone has to have the discipline to get it done, someone who apparently doesn't live here! For me, the times when I should be putting away dishes seem better spent helping with homework projects or reading with my son.
Then, before you know it I'm too tired, and weak, and just surrender to letting it go one more day.
I am more than certain I'm not alone in this quest to have the perfectly organized house, where I come home from work and everything is in it's place. I am more than happy with the baby steps I've already taken, but I am willing to try more.
If you have been able to find a better way will you share it?

I have the folder "Backup yzT Jan-01-2013". I've made also a script for do a backup everyday.
The problem I'm facing is how to rename the folder day by day according to date? Get the new name is easy, it's just
"/home/yzT/Backup yzT `date '+%b-%d-%Y'`"
However how can I select the folder "Backup yzT Jan-01-2013" exactly? Because every day it will be different.
I've tried
mv "/home/yzT/Backup yzT *" "/home/yzT/Backup yzT `date '+%b-%d-%Y'`
hoping that the mv path works like a regular expression, but sadly, it doesn't.
So how can I rename the folder?

Apple iPhone
From ForensicsWiki
The iPhone is a smartphone made by Apple Inc. and sold with service through AT&T. It can be used to send/receive email (see IPhone Mail Header Format), keep schedules, surf the web, and view videos from YouTube. A large number of forensic products can process iPhones, such as Oxygen Forensic Suite 2010.
In December 2009, Nicolas Seriot presented (PDF) a harvesting application, SpyPhone. This application grabs data as sensitive as location data and a cache of keyboard words. It neither requires jailbreaking nor makes Private API calls (which Apple's App Store does not allow in any application it distributes).

Type 80 pistol with 20-round magazine and holster / shoulder stock attached
cross-section diagram of the Type 80 pistol
Type 80 automatic (or machine) pistol has been developed in late 1970s as a personal defense weapon for vehicle crews and other military personnel, which is not issued with an assault rifle but may require a weapon with more firepower, than a typical pistol can provide. Type 80 pistol was apparently inspired by the classic German Mauser C96 pistol, in its late production "Schnellfeuer" (fast-firing or automatic) versions, and its design is heavily based on the old "broomhandle". However, there's plenty of differences both in internal design and in external appearance.
Type 80 automatic pistol is a short recoil operated, locked breech, selective fired weapon. The bolt of rectangular cross-section is located within a barrel extension, and is locked by a large tilting locking piece, which is mounted under the bolt in the extension. The single action firing mechanism has an external hammer, the single safety switch / fire mode selector is located at the left side of the frame, above the grip. The grip panel is reshaped and apparently of better design than of old Mauser. The magazine is also different - it is detachable, and sloped forward to provide more reliable feeding. The sights are fixed, and the rear of the grip frame is slotted to accept a separate telescoped shoulder stock, made of steel, or a special holster / shoulder stock. The stock is necessary to fire the pistol in full automatic mode or in single shots at extended ranges. Use of a relatively long barrel and a detachable shoulder stock, in combination of a relatively powerful 7.62x25mm cartridge, extends the effective range of pistol (in aimed semi-automatic fire) to 100 meters and maybe even further; the full auto capability is more of an emergency value, as the light and slim barrel will heat up quickly.

Re: "It's my body, it's my employer, it's my abortion," July 13 Loren Clark-Moe column.
Loren Clark-Moe claims she was being punished financially and otherwise because her employer, the federal government, was not allowed to pay for her abortion. She is OK with being sexually active, getting pregnant, and then making her "responsible decision to abort."
It seems obvious that she and her partner — not the rest of us — should pay for the results of their behavior. That is known as self-insurance. I hope each of us self-examines our behavior in our society that breeds this kind of illogical and irresponsible thinking.
John Girolmo, Copper Mountain
This letter was published in the July 20 edition.
Thank you, thank you and thank you again for the column by Loren Clark-Moe, which epitomizes a woman's right to choice. Although I won't have an abortion, that is my decision and not the decision of the government or my employer. If we don't interfere with men's Viagra, then don't interfere with my birth control!
Vivian Taylor, Aurora
This letter was published in the July 20 edition.
Loren Clark-Moe has left the federal government because the mission of preserving her health and well-being rests solely with her and her physician and requires no interference from her government or its politicians. Good.
Presumably one element of ending that interference is that she will no longer insist that taxpayers pay for her decisions, but that she has assumed personal responsibility for funding her abortion decisions. That way there is no reason to convince someone else of anything.
R. Barry Crook, Aspen

4. Will they look to add a top-of-the-rotation starter?
Look? Yes. Will it happen? Can't imagine. The Orioles under Peter Angelos have not been proponents of giving more than three years to a free-agent starting pitcher, and neither has Dan Duquette in his career. It's rarely a good investment. And the top free-agent starters almost always get beyond three years. This club definitely needs an ace. But so do most teams. The Orioles are hoping Chris Tillman can grow into the role and someone else, perhaps rookie Kevin Gausman, can seize the second spot in the rotation at some point next year. There is no true ace in this year's market. Matt Garza is probably the top starter available, with Hiroki Kuroda, Bartolo Colon and Ervin Santana among the top tier. With the hopeful exception of Chris Tillman, the Orioles currently have a collection of mid-to-back-end starters, steady pitchers with little upside. Penciled-in to next year's rotation are Miguel Gonzalez, Wei-Yin Chen and Bud Norris, with Kevin Gausman, T.J. McFarland, Steve Johnson and Zach Britton likely spring training rotation candidates. The Orioles would like to re-sign Scott Feldman, who was acquired in July from the Chicago Cubs and pitched well down the stretch. He'd also like to come back. But he may have pitched himself into a three-year deal, and the Orioles may not do that. Expect them to kick the tires on various second-tier starters, especially long-coveted lefty Jason Vargas, pictured. But a legitimate ace does not seem attainable.

Have you ever wondered how Americans die? Back in the 1900's the average life expectancy was under 50 years of age. By 2010, the life expectancy increased to just under 80 years of age which made me start to wonder: What is causing Americans to die in this day and age?
An interactive graph on Bloomberg.com (http://www.bloomberg.com/dataview/2014-04-17/how-americans-die.html) depicts how some Americans die. One key point I found interesting is the mortality rate for people aged 25-44. From the early 1980's to the mid 1990's, AIDS was the main cause, which at its peak, killed more then 40,000 Americans a year. Slowing infection rates and better treatment eventually allowed many of those with the virus to survive into their 50s and 60s.
Another interesting statistic is that in general, most Americans are living longer and dying of natural causes. About one-third of all deaths are people 85 and older. The downside to living so long though is that it dramatically increases the odds of getting dementia or Alzheimer's. The rise of Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia has had a big impact on health-care costs because these diseases kill their victims slowly thereby causing an increased drain. In fact, about 40 percent of the total increase in Medicare spending since 2011 can be attributed to greater spending on Alzheimer's treatment.
Overall, the share of U.S. health-care spending going toward nursing and retirement homes has declined slightly since 2000 and has remained flat since 2006.
With Americans living longer, it makes me, a 33 year old, start to worry about the future and what's going to happen when I reach retirement age. Will I have enough money to get me to the end of my life? Working at an estate planning and elder law firm has really opened my eyes. It's never too late or too early to start planning for the future! If you've been putting off planning for your future, we would love to meet with you and create a custom plan to make sure you have your assets protected throughout your life and at your death.

Seaborg Science Complex
West Science and New Science Facilities
The Seaborg Science Complex is made up of two buildings: Luther S. West Science Facility and the New Science Facility. The Glenn T. Seaborg Center in West Science is one of 33 designated mathematics/science centers in the State of Michigan.
The complex houses the School of Nursing and the Biology, Chemistry, Clinical Sciences, Geography, Mathematics/Computer Science, Physics and Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences Departments.
Classes related to these disciplines, and others, are held in the building. It features standard classrooms, interactive distance learning classrooms, large lecture halls, more than two dozen state-of-the-art laboratories, the NMU Speech-Language and Hearing Clinic, an auditorium, greenhouse, observatory and science-related displays.
Special programs like Summer College for Kids, regional conferences and public presentations are held in the complex. It is linked from West Science to the Learning Resource Center via underground tunnel and to Jamrich Hall with an enclosed skywalk.
The Seaborg NASA (National Aeronautic and Spece Agency) Educator Resource Center provides materials, workshops and activities for students, educators and community groups. In addition, the Seaborg Center Teacher Resource Room offers mathematics, science, language arts, special education and science lab materials that students, faculty and area teachers can borrow for classroom use.
The complex is named for Glenn T. Seaborg, an Ishpeming native who discovered plutonium and 10 other elements. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1951 (with co-discoverer Edwin McMillan) and the 1991 National Medal of Science. Luther S. West served as the head of Northern's Biology Department for 27 years.

Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith has witnessed dramatic changes among female law enforcement officers over her more than 40-year career, an evolution she chronicled at a recent Rotary Club of Los Altos appearance.
Now seeking her fifth term in office, Smith, the first female sheriff in California, oversees 1,400 sworn officers and an annual budget of approximately $340 million. The California State Assembly named Smith its 2012 Woman of the Year.
In the 1970s, when sworn in at the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department, Smith's title was "matron," because women were not allowed to serve as deputies at that time. She displayed for the Rotarians her outdated green uniform skirt and purse, complete with gun holster and handcuff pockets. In time, Smith said, the "ladies of the law" uniforms changed from skirts to pants, and their salaries rose from a rate that was 15 percent lower than male deputies' pay.
She gave a nod to the early female deputies whose 1975 lawsuit and subsequent ruling from the Supreme Court reclassified them as "sheriff's deputies" rather than "matrons."
Quoting the law enforcement textbook she used while studying at San Jose State University, Smith read its 1960 text with a smile: "There is no evidence that the ladies of the law are about to take over police departments."
The department's jurisdiction covers all unincorporated areas, 73 percent of geographically widespread Santa Clara County, which includes Los Altos Hills and the Moffett Field area.
The department manages every aspect of law enforcement except traffic, which the California Highway Patrol oversees. Sheriff's deputies, however, respond to crimes committed on highways and can also write speeding tickets.
Los Altos Hills, Cupertino and Saratoga contract for law enforcement with the Sheriff's Department rather than staff their own local police departments. By consolidating three cities under one administration, Smith said law enforcement is managed well and in a much more cost-effective manner.
According to the FBI's uniform crime reports, Saratoga is the No. 1 safest city in California. Los Altos, which has its own police department, is rated the second safest city and Cupertino the 12th.
The Santa Clara County sheriff also runs county jails, which house more than 4,000 inmates. When asked about the effect of inmates being transferred from state to county jails, Smith responded that nonviolent, nonsex and nonserious offenders now serve their sentences locally in their county of residence rather than in jail.
"But do not believe that crime rates are up because of this prison thing," she said.
To combat the traditionally high recidivism rate – approximately 70 percent of those who commit crimes return to jail within three years – the Sheriff's Department has established vocational training programs.
The Rotary Club of Los Altos meets 12:15 p.m. Thursdays in the Garden House at Shoup Park, 400 University Ave., Los Altos.

Most people start all this nonsense when they are much younger, but I have to say, that after totally trashing a full decade with over indulgence I'm now a full decade into health and fitness.
I started back running just over10 years ago. I was Very over weight, just out of an unhappy relationship and struggling on a single income and owning my first house. Not too much stress there! Needless to say it has been a long haul, but one that needed to be done and I've learned so many lessons about who I am and what I needed to learn about "owning" a positive life. Every day has been an adventure and for that I am and will be forever grateful. Having positive people in your life is so very important, and although I'm still single, still working (and will be until I'm freedom 90, due to front loading my life with way too much fun), still struggling with some major family issues, my life is the best it has been in a very long time.
A few years ago I tried my first Try-A-Tri and fell in love with the multi-sport. However, due to financial constraints I had to learn patience to be able obtain a suitable bike, I had to learn patience while recovering from a ruptured meniscus. I have had to learn patience for so many of life's experiences she is throwing my way lately. As I mentioned, I have had to learn a lot of things that most people learn at a younger age. Trust me when I say that when I wake up every morning I say a Great BIG Thank You to the Man above and to the Universe for giving me this opportunity to learn...
This year I decided to:
Early spring put me out on the road cycling getting ready for the Rideau Lakes Cycle Tour...then running getting ready for my season of tri's.
Swimming started in February in anticipation of the 3k Open Water Swim, Bring on the Bay.

Get excited about reading again with fun and interesting tips from our experts, including The M.D., our dietitians, and our fitness expert. In our health library, you will find all of the information you need to achieve your goals of making a healthy lifestyle change. So, start reading and start losing!
Senior Health
Here you will find informative articles on the topic of senior nutrition. Topics covered range from senior nutrition and weight loss to the relationship between BMI and quality of life for the elderly.
They say you are what you eat, so it makes sense that what you eat influences what you look like as you grow older. Explore the changes you can make to your diet to help you stay younger-looking longer!
We all know to use sun block and to avoid smoking but what changes can we make to our diet to help us stay younger-looking longer? To help answer this question, let's explore the role of diet and aging.
The food we eat has a huge impact on how healthy our skin is. Since our skin is the largest organ we have, it needs a lot of TLC. If you can go the majority of your life eating enough Vitamins D, C and A, you can go a long way towards a younger appearance, assuming you avoid smoking and excessive sunlight, as well.
It isn't so much about looking younger as it is about giving our skin the proper elasticity so that it is healthier and subsequently younger looking. Before you begin to focus on how we can eat our way to a younger looking appearance, it is extremely important that you understand that other things play a larger role. If you smoke, there isn't enough healthy food in the world that can give your skin a youthful appearance. The same goes for sun damage. If you aren't taking care of your skin on the outside, it won't matter what you do on the inside.
The same goes for the amount of sleep you get every night. You must give yourself time to heal and repair; if you don't, your skin's appearance will suffer. As far as eating right for your skin, you want to take a three pronged attack. Start with foods that are rich in vitamin A, such as eggs and spinach. You also want to arm yourself with a healthy diet full of vitamin C. We all know a big glass of orange juice every day can help you get there. Vitamin C helps your skin repair itself and actually helps heal wounds faster. Finally, you need a steady intake of vitamin D. Milk is a great source of vitamin D, as well as mushrooms.
This really varies for everyone, but how you take care of yourself figures into when you will start showing physical signs of aging.
Believe it or not, avocado is a wonderful source of vitamin E, which can also be very important for healthy skin. Simply eating a smart diet that you have been told to eat since you were a kid could really lead to wonderful skin.
More and more studies are showing that genetics do play a role in how young we look at what age, but it is still only one factor. The things mentioned above still apply.
The idea of hormone replacement therapy was put forth, in part, to help women look younger, longer, but studies have shown a link to heart disease, so you may want to think twice. There are foods, such as flax and soy, that can help women create estrogen for a longer period of time. You want to eat these foods from a young age, not just when you are turning 50.
Simply answer a few questions so we can figure out your weight loss goals and provide solutions for a lighter, healthier you. Our weight loss meal plans are designed to help real people achieve real and lasting success.

On June 1, 2012, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton traveled to Norway, the second stop on her trip to seven countries. In Oslo, Secretary Clinton delivered keynote remarks at a global health conference hosted by the Norwegian government titled, "A World in Transition: Charting a New Path in Global Health."
In her remarks, the Secretary urged both donor and partner countries to address global health differently than they have in the past and stressed the connection between maternal mortality, strong health systems, and country ownership. Secretary Clinton applauded U.S. participation in the Saving Mothers, Giving Life partnership, along with Merck for Mothers, Every Mother Counts, and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and announced that the United States is committing $75 million to this partnership.
Secretary Clinton said, "...If you really want to know how strongly a country's health system is, look at the well-being of its mothers." She then continued, "Women's health means more than just maternal health and therefore we must look to improve women's health more generally, because it is an unfortunate reality that women often face great health disparities. And improving women's health has dividends for entire societies, from driving down child mortality rates to sparking economic growth."
Secretary Clinton then underscored the importance of country ownership in global health. She said:
"...We will achieve real gains in maternal health and global health more generally only with effective country ownership. Now, one or two programs in isolation are not enough. It takes an integrated, country-owned approach... To us, country ownership in health is the end state where a nation's efforts are led, implemented, and eventually paid for by its government, communities, civil society and private sector. To get there, a country's political leaders must set priorities and develop national plans to accomplish them in concert with their citizens, which means including women as well as men in the planning process. And these plans must be effectively carried out primarily by the country's own institutions, and then these groups must be able to hold each other accountable.
"...So while nations must ultimately be able to fund more of their own needs, country ownership is about far more than funding. It is principally about building capacity to set priorities, manage resources, develop plans, and carry them out. We are well aware that moving to full country ownership will take considerable time, patience, investment, and persistence."
Following her remarks at the global health conference, Secretary Clinton joined Norwegian Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere for a press availability in which they discussed the Arctic, Afghanistan, Burma, Egypt, and NATO, among other topics. Secretary Clinton said, "One of the primary purposes of my being here today is to say thank you -- not only thank you to the Norwegian Government, but to the Norwegian people. The United States is very grateful for the leadership and partnership that we enjoy with Norway. On every issue, whether it be peace or security, human rights or development, we know that we can work with, count on, and make progress if we are teaming up with the Norwegians."
On June 2, Secretary Clinton and Foreign Minister Store traveled to Tromso, north of the Arctic Circle and home of the Arctic Council Permanent Secretariat. In Tromso, the Secretary and Foreign Minister discussed U.S.-Norwegian cooperation in the Arctic, including on climate change and the sustainable development of untapped resources. Secretary Clinton said:
"The United States and Norway are closely coordinating to ensure that the Arctic Council is a important and is the key place where nations gather to chart the future of the Arctic. We were very pleased to sign the first agreement that came out of the Arctic Council last year on the search-and-rescue responsibilities in the Arctic. We're working on a new agreement to deal with oil spills and other emergencies. But there's a big agenda that has to be addressed in a very deliberative but intensive way.
"Now back in the United States, the Obama Administration is pushing hard to ratify the Law of the Sea Convention, which has provided the international framework for exploring these new opportunities in the Arctic. We abide by the international law that undergirds the convention, but we think the United States should be a member, because the convention sets down the rules of the road that protect freedom of navigation, provide maritime security, serve the interests of every nation that relies on sea lanes for commerce and trade, and also sets the framework for exploration for the natural resources that may be present in the Arctic."
While in Norway, Secretary Clinton also met with young political leaders. You can view photographs of her meeting with the young leaders on the Norwegian Foreign Ministry's Flickr photostream; more photos of the Secretary's visit to Norway are available on U.S. Embassy Oslo's Facebook page.
On June 3, Secretary Clinton will travel to Stockholm, Sweden, for meetings with senior Swedish officials to discuss a range of issues, including green energy, Internet freedom, Afghanistan, and the Middle East. In Stockholm, she will also participate in a Climate and Clean Air Coalition event on short-lived climate pollutants. Follow @usembassysweden on Twitter and go to www.state.gov for more on her travel.

The town's three elementary schools appear to have become the first in the state to discontinue providing students with hand sanitizer, which came into many schools as a way to prevent the spread of the H1N1 flu virus when it surfaced three years ago. The district also is reducing the number of sanitizer dispensers in the middle and high schools and using a foam product instead of the liquid in the remaining dispensers, Superintendent James Lombardo said this week.The reason? "We came to the conclusion that, just as we wouldn't put cleaning supplies within reach of a kindergarten or first-grade student, we shouldn't put a product that's more than 60 percent alcohol within reach," he said. "It just seems like good sense that it not be available around really young kids." Hand sanitizer, a waterless liquid intended to clean hands of germs, was removed from elementary schools over the past few months, he said, prompted both by administration concerns about it and a parent's complaint that their child had ingested some. In April, a California hospital issued a warning about the dangers of hand sanitizer after treating eight teenagers in local emergency rooms after they tried to get drunk by drinking or distilling it, according to news reports. Locally, however, neither Lawrence & Memorial Hospital in New London nor The William W. Backus Hospital in Norwich has treated any cases of sanitizer poisoning in recent months, hospital spokesmen said. Vincent Mustaro, senior staff associate for policy service at the Connecticut Association of Boards of Education, said he hasn't heard of other schools in the state taking the same action as yet, but the East Lyme decision did pique his interest. Officials at both the state Department of Public Health and the state Department of Education also said the issue of sanitizer misuse had not come to their attention. Lombardo said all East Lyme elementary classrooms have sinks and, since public health experts say soap-and-water washing is a more effective than hand sanitizer in preventing the spread of germs, the district isn't sacrificing student health and hygiene by getting rid of the dispensers. At the middle and high schools, students also will be encouraged to wash with soap and water. The foam-based product in the remaining dispensers has a lower alcohol content than the liquid, he said. The use and storage of hand sanitizer in town schools was addressed as part of a new policy on hazardous materials approved by the Board of Education on May 29. The policy encourages the use of "green cleaning" products and reducing exposure of students and staff to potentially hazardous chemicals in cleaning products. Lombardo said there was no increase in student illnesses after the hand sanitizer was removed. "Our absentee records showed there was no uptick," he said. In its guidelines for schools about hand sanitizers, the state health department emphasizes that washing hands with soap and water is the best way to prevent the spread of disease. Using alcohol-based products with more than 60 percent alcohol, such as Purell, Germ X or Sani Hands, the guidelines say, does reduce germs on the skin, "but (is) not effective if hands are visibly dirty." Non-alcohol based hand sanitizers, it warns, are not as effective in killing germs. Patrick McCormack, director of the Uncas Health District, said he considers hand sanitizers "a good backup," but not a substitute for soap and running water. The district provides health services for seven local towns. "It doesn't negate the need for a good hand washing," he said. email@example.com (c)2012 The Day (New London, Conn.)

ATLANTA, Ga. -- Brandeis junior guard Janelle Rodriguez (Peabody, Mass./Peabody Veterans) scored a career-high 14 points tonight, but that matched the entire total output of her teammates as the Judges fell to #18 Emory, 59-28, in University Athletic Association women's basketball action. The Judges fall to 7-10, 1-5 UAA, while the Eagles improve to 15-2, 5-1 UAA.
The Judges, playing without a couple of regular members of their rotation because of illness, were held below 30 points and 20 percent shooting (9-53, 17.0%) in their second-straight game against a nationally-ranked squad. While Rodriguez scored her 14 points on 6-of-12 shooting, the rest of the team hit just 3-of-41. She also had four steals as the Judges forced 21 turnovers. Senior Samantha Anderson (Johnsonville, N.Y./Hoosic Valley) led the Judges with seven rebounds, while junior guard Kasey Dean (Southbury, Conn./Pomperaug) had two assists.
Emory was paced by Misha Jackson, who had 12 points, and Hannah Lilly, who finished with 11. Danielle Landy of the Eagles led all players with 11 rebounds, finishing two points shy of a double-double, while also leading the hosts with four steals. Jackson also had three blocked shots. Emory connected on 40.7% for the game (24-59) and hit 8-of-31 from downtown (38.1%).
The Judges will look to snap their five-game losing streak on Sunday at 2 p.m. at Rochester, while Emory hosts NYU at the same time.

For generations of students, Baylor's SUB has been a center of campus life
Baylor's Student Union Building opened to the campus community 70 years ago this fall. But the SUB — officially the Bill Daniel Student Center — is far from ready to retire, having reinvented itself many times over the years.
Groundbreaking for the SUB took place on June 1, 1940, on the site of what had been Carroll Field (previously home to Baylor football and baseball). The cornerstone was laid in December 1941 — just four days before Pearl Harbor was bombed. The rationing of construction supplies during World War II ground work to a halt in 1942, leaving a framework of steel girders standing in the middle of campus until 1946, and the building was not completed until 1947.
At its formal opening on Sept. 16, 1948, the SUB included lounges, offices, a bowling alley, snack area, cafeteria, barber shop, beauty parlor, and bookstore (which also operated as a drug store, complete with a "modern fountain service"). It even included a small apartment on the third floor, designed for the SUB director (but at one time also the home to President W.R. White).
In the 1950s, the dining room hosted roller skating on weekends, while the attic housed a rifle range for Baylor's rifle teams and ROTC. Dr Pepper Hour and All University Sing both began in the SUB in 1953. Visitors over the years have included Sandra Dee, Fabian, Jon Voigt, Gloria Steinem, and President George W. Bush. Known only as the Union Building or Student Union Building for its first three decades, the facility was officially named in honor of Governor Bill Daniel in 1982 to honor his family's decades of service to Baylor.
In recent years, there has been some discussion of building a new student union building on the east side of campus that would better accommodate Baylor's growing student body. But that wouldn't be the end for the SUB; it would likely be remodeled so that it can continue to serve the university for decades to come.
Sic 'em, SUB!

Term: Stanza
A stanza is a group of lines within a poem; the blank line between stanzas is known as a stanza break. Like lines, there is no set length to a stanza or an insistence that all stanzas within a poem need be the same length. However, there are names for stanzas of certain lengths: two-line stanzas are couplets; three-lines, tercets; four-lines, quatrains. (Rarer terms, like sixains and quatorzains, are very rarely used.) Whether regular or not, the visual effect and, sometimes, the aural effect is one of uniting the sense of the stanza into one group, so poets can either let their sentences fit neatly within these groups, or create flow and tension by enjambing across the stanza breaks.
Louis MacNeice's 'Prayer before Birth' mostly uses a stanza that gradually grows as the unborn baby finds more and more to be scared of, which makes the sudden short stanzas a shock; the content of those stanzas, such as "the man who is beast or thinks he is God", also become scarier. Edwin Morgan's 'Hyena' uses its stanzas to group various aspects of the animal's self-description - his energy, his song, his expectations and so on. Rita Dove, in 'Hattie McDaniel Arrives at the Coconut Grove', follows a similar method of breaking the stanzas, but a phrase continues over the break between the third and fourth stanzas, giving McDaniel's biography and film career the same simultaneous separation and connection in the poem that they had in her life.

Update: Both Capital Murder Suspects Now In Custody
Wichita Falls Police have arrested the second individual wanted in the shooting at Mo's Grocery on Monday afternoon. Michael Graves, aka Michael McGill, was arrested at a home in the 1400 block of Kinsale Court in the City View Heights area earlier this afternoon.
Graves was interviewed by detectives and subsequently charged with capital murder in the death of 63 year-old Muhammed "Mo" Ahmad. The WFPD press release did not give the suspects age, but it does reveal that Graves had an outstanding warrant for a parole violation. Yesterday police arrested 17 year-old Clifton John Russell IV. His bond was set at $1.5 million. He is also facing a charge of capital murder.
Police said Russell and Graves entered the store at approximately 3:45pm and attempted to rob Ahmad, at gunpoint. Ahmad was shot once in the chest with a handgun. The two fled down an irrigation canal on foot. Ahmad died during surgery at United Regional shortly after 6:30 pm Monday evening.

The Internal Audit Office is structured in accordance with The Bylaws of the Trustees Article IV, Section 6: "The Treasurer of the Corporation shall maintain an internal audit office independent of any other office of the Corporation or of the University. The Director of Audits shall submit to the Board annually a written report on the work of the internal audit office for the preceding calendar year. In addition, the Director of Audits, prior to the presentation of the written annual report, shall make an annual oral presentation concerning the work of the internal audit office to the Audit and Insurance Committee, which shall be made in the presence of the Treasurer. Immediately following the completion of each oral presentation, the Director of Audits shall confer with the Audit and Insurance Committee, outside the presence of the Treasurer or any other officer of the University on any subject germane to the area of responsibility of the internal audit office. The written annual report to the Board shall be made at a stated meeting selected by the Audit and Insurance Committee but in no event shall it be deferred beyond July 1 of each year without the consent of the Chairman. In addition, at any time when in the judgment of the Director of Audits circumstances warrant or in response to a request from the Chairman of the Audit and Insurance Committee, the Director of Audits shall make a written or oral report to the Chairman of the Audit and Insurance Committee without informing the Treasurer or any other University officer. Subject to the foregoing, the Treasurer shall attend the meetings of the Audit and Insurance Committee and serve as its Secretary and keep a record of its proceedings".
The mission of the Internal Audit Office is to provide independent, objective assurance and consulting services designed to add value and assist all levels of administration in achieving University goals and objectives by striving to provide a positive impact on the efficiency and effectiveness of the operations. The Internal Audit Office helps the University accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes.

The Internal Audit Office is responsible for conducting internal audits and evaluating the University's risk management, control, and governance processes. The audits include assessments of the reliability of departmental financial information, compliance with University policies and procedures, compliance with laws and regulations, safeguarding assets, and the effectiveness and efficiency of operations. In addition, the Internal Audit Office may provide consulting services including evaluations of internal controls, system implementation controls, and other areas of interest and concern. The Internal Audit Office may also provide specific audit or consulting services for other activities in support of its mission.
The Internal Audit Office has no direct operating responsibility or authority for management processes, internal controls, or any of the activities or operations they review, thereby maintaining a spirit of independence and objectivity. The internal audit review and appraisal does not in any way relieve other persons in the organization of the responsibilities assigned to them.
The Internal Audit Office has the authority to audit all parts of the University and is granted full and complete access to any records (in any form), physical properties, and personnel relevant to a review. Documents and information given to internal auditors during a review will be handled in accordance with University policies and procedures.

Behind the scenes of a stop-motion TV spot
I've yet to play Paper Mario: Sticker Star, or even manage to see Nintendo's television spot for the 3DS game prior to now, but little things like that aren't going to stop me from enjoying this behind-the-scenes look at Nintendo and CanCanClub's stop-motion papercraft commercial.
It also helps that I'm absolutely terrible at constructing papercraft (it's always the glue!). Seeing people neatly put together eerily accurate paper models that look like high-def versions of the characters, objects, and environments found in the Paper Mario series shouldn't be this satisfying. But oh my goodness, it is.
Be sure to catch part two, viewable at the link below, which shows how everything was built in 3D before physically coming to fruition.

Any reviews on the 2013 switches, specifically in regards to the power or responsiveness.
Please post!
I agree with you.experienced1 wrote:If your 2013 SB was mfg'd prior to Sept I suggest you tie a simple overhead knot in the outside bridle lines as I believe they ar bit to short, causing the bar to be a bit undersheeted at full power.Tkae off the outside line pigtails..the one with 3 knots. Tie a simple overhand knot in the bridle line just below the loop on the end where the bridle line is double/sewn. Replace the pigtails and fly the kite on the suggeted middle knot. Think you will find the kite a bit more repsonsive with a bit more low end. Can't tell you about SBs mfg'd after Sept.

Nowadays a big number of offices and corporate sectors are commonly housing water dispensers that are playing a major role in delivering safe, pure and clean drinkable water to the employees. These devices are basically water purifiers used for dispensing hot or cold water as par needs and requirements. Customers have the total liberty to decide upon the types of models i.e. bottled or bottle less depending on individual preferences, availability of bottled water in the locality and some other secondary factors as well.
Typically, there are two main types of water dispensers in the forms of bottled water and bottle less models. The bottle less ones are regarded to be less safe of the two as in this case, the dispensers are directly connected to the regular water lines. Therefore, the quality of water is always questionable and the device has really nothing much to do in this context. Coolers simply filter and dispense water temperature. On the contrary, in case of the bottled water coolers, bottles containing purified mineral water are used. Therefore, in terms of better safety and purity, the bottled dispensers are undoubtedly better.
Coming to its designs, there are numerous designs to choose from. Products are nowadays available in various shapes, colors and designs, with each model coming with its own set of features, pros and cons as well. It is up to the clients to select a model depending on the budgets, needs and requirements.
Next, based on the type of installation required to be done, water dispensers can further be classified into two major subtypes- Floor and Counter top models. The floor models are more common of the two and can be commonly seen in a good number of offices, corporate houses and other commercial and residential sectors as well.
Both these types are electricity run and have a capability of controlling water temperature as par client requirements. The only difference is in terms of the types of compressors used and dispensing height required. For the floor models, it consumes a greater space but delivers a better quality as a relatively stronger compressor is used. Whereas the countertop models are meant to be used by people working within a limited space. It needs a much smaller space to be installed and function but in terms of efficiency and performance, it lags behind the Floor models.
However, to get the most out of these devices, users should also try to take some basic precautions while purchasing water dispensers. With newer brands emerging in the markets almost on a regular basis, people might be offered products at real cheap prizes. However, remember that quality should always be your top priority and even if it takes a few dollars more to get a good product, never be mean to invest a few dollars more. Be real careful regarding the filters and only consider the models of the reliable and established brands. After all, it is your social and morale responsibility to keep your family happy and safe.
