Video: How do I configure APC Network Management Card network settings?
An APC Network Management Card must be configured with network settings before it can communicate on the network. Once the cards have been configured with an IP address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway the cards can be accessed, managed, and controlled from other computers on the network. There are multiple configuration options available, outlined below, for each family of Network Management Cards or devices that have embedded versions of these products.
Product Line
- Web/SNMP Card - AP9606
- Network Management Card 1 (NMC1) - AP9617, AP9618, AP9619
- Network Management Card 2 (NMC2) - AP9630/AP9630CH, AP9631/AP9631CH, AP9635/AP9635CH
- All serial numbers
- All firmware revisions (unless otherwise noted)
- Unconfigured Network Management Card enabled Devices
- Network Management Card devices requiring reconfiguration
A Network Management Card requires TCP/IP settings prior to being accessible accessible via a network.
If you have a Network Management Card 1:
In regards to Network Management Card 1 (AP9617, AP9618, AP9619) or devices with an embedded Network Management Card 1 (such as a AP78XX or AP79XX Rack PDU, Environmental Monitoring Unit, etc), there are three available options to configure the Network Management Card (NMC) with it's initial settings: the Wizard, terminal emulation (local/direct connection), and Address Resolution Protocol (ARP).
Default boot mode: DHCP/BootP - With DHCP Option 43 Vendor Cookie required to accept DHCP Offer.
By default, all of APC's Network Management Card 1 based devices are configured for a boot mode of DHCP/BOOTP. If using DHCP, a vendor cookie (DHCP Option 43) is required by default. If it is not configured on your DHCP server, the card will not accept an IP address. You can use the methods below to configure/access the card if you do not wish to use DHCP/BOOTP.
If you have a Network Management Card 2:
Default boot mode: DHCP Only - With DHCP Option 43 Vendor Cookie NOT required to accept DHCP Offer.
By default, all of APC's Network Management Card 2 based devices (such as a AP8XXX Next Gen Rack PDU ) with AOS 5.1.1 or higher, are configured for DHCP Only with no vendor cookie required by default. They will obtain an IP address automatically so you may need to refer to your DHCP server to find out what IP address it obtained.
All APC devices have a MAC address that begin with 00 C0 B7 which may help while reviewing your DHCP Client List.
In order to configure your Network Management Card enabled device, please pick one of the available configuration methods listed below:
Configuration Option 1 - Device IP Configuration Wizard - Network Configuration options
The Device IP configuration wizard is included on the CD that comes with the cards (current v5.0.2) and the latest version is currently only available to download from APC's website (v5.0.2). The wizard must run on a Windows operating system. You can configure the card using the wizard over the network only with v5.0.0 and higher. Prior 3.x versions allow local configuration of the NMC with this program. With the Network Management Card 2 family, the Device IP Configuration Wizard v3.0.1 and below will not work via the local method inside the wizard. v3.0.3 is required or v5.0.0 or higher for network configuration.
Please keep in mind that with certain firmware releases, the NMC can obtain a DHCP address and also prevent the wizard from working correctly. You may want to check your DHCP client list for any MAC addresses beginning with 00 C0 B7, which indicates an APC address. In addition, check the card you are trying to configure. Any card with valid IP settings will have a solid green status LED.
If using the wizard over the network, please note, the previously unconfigured NMC must be on the same subnet as the computer running the wizard. An alternative method to using the wizard via the network method may be to use a direct network connection between a computer and the NMC you are trying to configure and running the wizard. Ultimately, your computer and the NMC will be on a peer to peer network which will allow for configuration as well.
This wizard will also not work with either network management card family if the network management card was previously configured and not in DHCP or BOOTP boot mode. v5.0.0 and higher of the wizard, available from apc.com, will allow you to locate unconfigured cards or locate configured cards on the network by IP range.
The Device IP configuration wizard is not able to assign the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway settings to network management cards running AOS 6.5.0 and 6.5.2. This is a known issue and has been resolved with AOS 6.5.6.

Configuration Option 2 - Terminal Emulation (Local/direct connection)
Terminal Emulation is a built-in function on most operating systems (ex: HyperTerminal). Before using any terminal emulation program, any services using the COM ports must be stopped. For example, if you are running a serial version of APC's PowerChute software, the APC UPS service must be stopped prior to running the terminal program. Then, follow these instructions:
**Please note that if you have the scroll lock on, HyperTerminal will not communicate properly with an APC UPS or accessory.**
Connect to the UPS/device serial port using the correct APC configuration cable. Part numbers are below for common devices. Please refer to the user's manual if you are not sure or your device is not listed.
!WARNING! - Connecting a non-APC serial cable to your device can cause unwanted, erratic device behavior.
|Configuration Cable Part Number
|Most UPSs that have a DB-9 serial port
|940-0024 or 940-1524 (DB-9 to DB-9)

- Log out of console to save changes.
Now, you can remotely log into the NMC using web access or Telnet.
*Does not apply to 1st Generation Rack Automatic Transfer Switches for "out of the box" configuration. Refer to user's manual.
Network Management Card 2 (AP9630, AP9631) and related accessories require different configuration settings in order to be configured locally.
In order to connect to one of these cards, you must use the 940-0299 Tip, Ring Sleeve (TRS) to DB9 cable and connect it directly to the NMC2 into the 2.5mm jack labeled "console" rather than the UPS serial port.
- Within a UPS, the NMC2 devices communicate with the following port settings:
- Apply the port settings to establish the connection.
- Press enter 3-5 times to display the username prompt.
- Use the default username and password of "apc"
- Type help or ? to display all available commands.
- Use the tcpip command to configure manual network settings to assign manual IP settings. The tcpip command automatically changes your boot mode to manual once you submit it. It is necessary to issue a reboot command immediately after assigning your manual settings. Text in italics indicates a variable. For each variable, type a numeric value that has the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
apc> tcpip -i yourIPaddress -s yourSubnetMask -g yourDefaultGateway
apc> reboot
apc> tcpip -i 126.96.36.199 -s 255.255.254.0 -g 220.127.116.11
apc> reboot
Use the boot command to change the Network Management Card's boot mode ONLY if you are using DHCP or BootP.
Usage: boot -- Configuration Options
boot [-b dhcpBootp* | dhcp | bootp | manual>] (Boot Mode)
[-a remainDhcpBootp | gotoDhcpOrBootp>] (After IP Assignment)

*DHCP/BootP and retry options are only available in NMC2 AOS 5.0.X. It is no longer an option in AOS versions > 5.0.X
For a video representation of NMC2 configuration via terminal emulation, refer to the video below:
Return to Top
Configuration Option 3 - ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)
Address resolution protocol (ARP) can also be used to configure the NMC. The MAC Address of the NMC is needed for this method of configuration. The MAC address is located on the quality assurance slip that shipped with the NMC, and is also located on a white sticker on the NMC itself. From a computer on the same subnet as the unconfigured NMC, follow these instructions:
- Open a command prompt or terminal window and type the following (replacing <IP address> and <MAC Address> with actual values):
Note: On Windows Operating systems, you may need to run the command prompt as Administrator in order to use the arp command. To do this, right click on the Command Prompt shortcut and select "Run as Administrator."
arp<space>-s<space><IP address><space><MAC Address>
- On Mac OS X specifically: sudo<space>arp<space>-s<space><IP address><space><MAC Address>
- Next, use Ping with a size of 113 bytes to assign the IP address defined by the ARP command.
- Windows command format: ping<space><IP address><space>-l<space>113
- [To clarify, the -l option is the letter L but must be lowercase when executing the command, as noted above.]
- Linux command format: ping<space><IP address><space>-s<space>113
- Mac OS X command format: ping<space>-s<space>113<space><IP address>
- Now, you can Telnet to the card by typing: telnet <IP address>
- Use "apc" for username and password.
- Configure/apply any additional changes based on the instructions above or in the user's manual.
- Log out to save changes.
Users will be unable to configure the IP address setting by using ARP on the network management cards running AOS 6.5.0 and 6.5.2. This is a known issue and has been resolved with AOS 6.5.6.
Return to Top
Configuration Option 4 - DHCP Option 12 (NMC2 devices, AOS 5.1.5 or higher only)
Beginning with the AOS 5.1.5 release, the NMC2 has implemented Option 12 (Host Name) as part of the DHCP request. DHCP option 12 uses the devices' host name. As of AOS 5.1.5, the default NMC host name will beapcXXYYZZ, where XXYYZZ represents the last six characters of the MAC Address (enclosed on a slip with the shipped product) of the NMC. It is also available on a sticker on the NMC2 itself.
If your network is setup correctly (described below), you will be able to access "unconfigured" / just-out-of-the-box NMCs by referencing the NMC as follows:
1. At a terminal (or DOS) prompt, ping the NMC using ping apcXXYYZZ
2. In a web browser, access the NMC web interface using http://apcXXYYZZ
NOTE: Tests have shown that even with the network properly configured, the ability to reference devices that support this option is not immediate. In APC tests, it took between 6 and 16 minutes before this functionality worked. However, it worked every time (max wait 16 minutes). Depending on your network setup, your experience may differ.
Network Setup:
In order for option 12 to work properly, the network segment must be configured with the "Dynamically update DNS A and PTR records for DHCP clients that do not request updates ..." (or equivalent) box selected.
See below, as an example:
Return to Top
Configuration Method 5 - via Smart-UPS front panel LCD - (Supported SMT, SMX, and SRT* Models with UPS NMC2)
*Note: This method can be used to configure the embedded UPS NMC2 or optional secondary NMC2 for SRT models.
Some newer Smart-UPS models provide the capability to configure the Network Management Card 2 (NMC2) IP address, subnet mask, and gateway using the front panel LCD display menu. Before proceeding, make sure your NMC2 is installed in the UPS SmartSlot and is powered, indicated by the status LED on the NMC2.
Your UPS display will look similar to one of the following types shown below. Press ESC to bring up the Menu, if not already displayed.
In order to access the NMC2 configuration functionality through the UPS LCD, the LCD menu must be put into Advanced Mode. This is accomplished by going into the Configuration menu and changing the Menu Type from Standard to Advanced on the UPS's LCD menu. Upon changing this menu setting, you will be able to configure the UPS NMC2 by going back into the Configuration menu.
NMC2 boot mode options available in Configuration Menu:
- Manual
If you choose Manual mode, enter the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. DHCP (the NMC2 default AOS v5.1.1 and higher) and DHCP & BOOTP models will not require any further configuration beyond accepting the setting. After you've finished, the Network Management Card will reboot within ~1 minute after settings are applied, and the current IP settings will be displayed under the UPS LCD's About menu.
Note: If your UPS LCD menu doesn't have the Configure NMC: option after putting the UPS LCD menu in Advanced mode, you may have one or more of the following happening:
- The NMC2 is not being recognized by the UPS/UPS SmartSlot.
- The UPS firmware doesn't support this functionality
Consult the user's guide that came with the UPS or contact your local technical support team with any concerns.

Ronnie Lagorio's Ground-Level Suburban Transit System
Your title here…
It's been said a million times that there are no rules in hot rodding. But you know what? There are. And judging from his low-rolling custom '63 Suburban, it looks like Ronnie Lagorio has learned three of the most important ones. Build it unique. Build it cool. Drive it all over.
Ronnie started learning the rules before he was old enough to drive, by helping his dad, Ron, restore a '67 GTO and accompanying him to car shows to display their work. By the time he was 15, Ronnie had a project of his own-a '69 Chevy C10 Stepside-to wrench on. In the years since, Ronnie has owned and built numerous Chevy muscle cars and custom trucks.
The Suburban, built with help from his friend Curt Hill from Hill's Rod & Custom, is one of Ronnie's latest projects, but not exactly a new addition to his fleet. He's owned the truck for about a decade, and knew about it long before that. Ronnie and Curt have been friends for years and used to build cars at night at Curt's parents' house after clocking out from their day jobs. Ronnie got used to seeing the Suburban parked down the street at a neighbor's house.
"When I saw it for sale, it was still stock," Ronnie told us. "It belonged to the original owner and had a stock 350 and Powerglide transmission-and a set of Eagle 5 Star wheels. I knew the Suburban would look cool if I built it, so I bought it, drove it to my parents' house, and parked it in the back of the garage."
While the Suburban sat, Ronnie started thinking about how he wanted it laid out, and started collecting parts for the buildup. When it came time to begin putting everything together, Curt-who was working for Moal Coachbuilders at the time-was there to help.
The project started with the suspension. The stock frame was muscled up with boxed 'rails and extra crossmembers built from 2×4-inch 4130 chromoly tubing. The front crossmember was raised 2 inches and moved forward to locate the wheels in the wheel openings, and McGaughys 21/2-inch drop spindles were installed to drop the front end. The frame was C-notched to drop the rear. Slam Specialties RE-72 airbags were added to adjust the ride height and Rancho 9000 shocks were installed all around. A Ford rack-and-pinion replaced the factory steering. McGaughys 11-inch disc brakes front and rear provide plenty of stop for the Suburban. With the Suburban sitting so low, the 21-gallon fuel cell from No Limit Engineering was raised 5 inches just to keep it off the ground. A custom front 13/4-inch NASCAR-style three-piece antisway bar and a 11/4-inch bar in the rear are more recent additions to the suspension.
After collecting some more parts, Ronnie and Curt started in on the sheetmetal, tubbing the rear wheelwells and rebuilding the rear floor to accommodate the C-notch, fuel cell, and suspension modifications. Other than elevation, the body has been kept in stock form, with trim pieces and hardware intact. The PPG yellow and white paint combination was shot by Curt Hill's father, Brian Hill, but not recently. That was sprayed for the truck's original owner in 1981. We're guessing that the yellow is at least part of the reason Ronnie calls the Suburban the Short Bus.
The Eagle 5 Stars that suited the look of the Suburban in the old days didn't quite match Ronnie's vision for the truck. In their place, he mounted Bonspeed Clutch six-spoke wheels, choosing 20×81/2-inch rims for the front with low-profile P245/40R20 BFGoodrich radials. In the rear, 20×10-inchers wear P295/40R20 BFGs. Front and rear rims feature 51/2 inches of backspacing to fit inside the wheelwells.
Dropping in the Chevy small-block engine was the next step in the project. Ronnie built the '75 383 with Brodix Race-Rite RR 180 heads and a Crane hydraulic roller cam. The heads are capped with a pair of powdercoated aluminum valve covers, and a K&N air cleaner tops the Barry Grant 750 double-pumper on an Edelbrock Performer RPM Air-Gap intake manifold. The exhaust is routed through a set of Hedman shorty headers and a pair of Lobak mufflers. The tailpipes run through holes in the framerails. Ronnie rebuilt the small-block a few years later, with help from Elby's Automotive Machine Shop in Dublin, California. Dyno testing clocked some impressive numbers: 440 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. Golden Gate Transmissions in Pleasanton, California, put together the 700-R4 transmission, shifted by a B&M Street Bandit with a B&M 3,000-stall converter. Ronnie narrowed the '63 12-bolt rearend and stuffed it with 4.10:1 gears, an Auburn posi, and Moser axles.
The interior is a work in progress, but the direction has been established. The sheetmetal continues the body color, contrasted with black carpet and black vinyl upholstery covering the Rally bucket seats from Procar by Scat. The dash is stock, but the factory instruments have been swapped for Auto Meter Carbon Fiber Ultra-Lite gauges. The Billet Specialties Vintec steering wheel keeps the look going with a simulated carbon-fiber wrap ring. Ronnie wired the truck using a Painless Wiring system, and Reno Heon from AccuAir Suspension provided the AccuAir E-Level electronic leveling system when Ronnie replumbed the airbags. There's a sound system coming, using JL Audio components and a hookup for an iPod. And a rear bench seat will soon be added, so more passengers can ride the Short Bus.
In addition to the hundreds of hours of help from Curt Hill, Ronnie got a lot of help from Brian Hill and Brian Bermudez in getting the Suburban on the road. "And last but not least, thanks to my dad, Ron, for coming over countless times to help me out and support me."
You can catch the Short Bus whenever Goodguys has an event in Pleasanton (Ronnie won the Slick SUV award at the All American Get-Together in March), at other shows in the Bay Area, or at Hot August Nights in Reno. You'll also find it on the Gallery page of the Hill's Rod & Custom website. Otherwise, look for the low yellow Suburban on the street, where Ronnie keeps it as much as possible.

For the contemporary couple whose nuptials are rooted in Cleveland, let the city and surrounding area provide the backdrop for your wedding day photo itinerary. With its modern ambiance and distinctive cultural flair, Cleveland promises an unforgettable photography session to celebrate this memorable day!
Begin your wedding day photography session at Edgewater Park on the west side of Cleveland. Overlooking beautiful Lake Erie and embracing the perimeter of the city, Edgewater Park offers priceless vantage points and exciting opportunities for your photography. Have your photographer first arrange several group poses on one of the many fishing piers allowing for a dramatic view of Lake Erie in the background. After finishing with the entire bridal party, capture a few shots of the bride and groom alone before moving on to the Edgewater Yacht Club. Integrate the scenic marina atmosphere and nautical beauty of the docked boats in your photography. Select a few poses of the newlywed couple with boats in the foreground to evoke a feeling of timelessness. Follow this with a shot of the entire group.
After the Yacht Club move to the shaded western half of Edgewater Park for a more secluded, private setting. This part of the park is ideal for several solo poses of bride and groom, as the overarching shade of the trees lends a serene, sheltered tone to the wedding day photos and provides a chance for the photographer to capture shots that hint at a more remote, isolated location. If your wedding falls within the popular summer holiday season, make sure to capture a few shots of the fireworks surrounding the fourth of July as Edgewater holds the prime location for an unimpeded view. Fireworks in the background of your photos will simultaneously celebrate independence and your wedding, contributing a dramatic and fun element to your photography. Edgewater Park is the perfect blend of urban industrial and beach environments, capturing two unique aspects of Cleveland's character.
The diversity and cultural ambiance of downtown Cleveland will set the stage for the next phase of your wedding day photography session. Your group will explore the exciting area around the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, making their first stop at The William H. Mather, a historic tanker ship that has been docked and transformed into a museum. This impressive steel ship provides an exciting contrast between the urban industrial atmosphere of Cleveland and the beauty and refinement of your wedding day attire. Have your photographer arrange several poses of the entire bridal party on the dock with the ship looming in the background, the pristine severity of its colors and size lending drama to your photos. For the couple who desires a more striking background, journey aboard the Mather and take advantage of the height this brings to your photographs. The landscape surrounding the ship is classically distinctive of Cleveland's urban atmosphere; arrange a few shots of the bride and groom alone with this landscape as the backdrop before bringing the wedding party in for an entire group shot.
Only steps from the William H. Mather is your next stop along your wedding day photo itinerary. The Cleveland Browns Stadium is a must for the sports enthusiast couple and committed local sports fans. Located in the midst of Cleveland's vibrant downtown, the Browns Stadium is framed by the vintage urban landscape of East 4th Street and the emerging art scene of the entertainment district. Bring your photography and wedding party to the front of the stadium and arrange your first shot so that the distinctive stadium entrance is the backdrop. After several poses with the entire party, have your photographer capture a few shots of the bride and groom alone on the awning covered steps leading to the main entrance. The oversized Cleveland Browns insignia above provides an interesting photo angle as your photographer focuses on the couple yet strives to include the iconic title above. Bring the bridal party back into the picture for the remaining shots, taking advantage of the thrill and fun of the Browns to make these concluding pictures full of whimsy and excitement. Use this time to capture a few less serious poses, letting the spirit of sports infuse your wedding day photos.
For a less definitively urban atmosphere, journey beyond the immediate limits of Cleveland to Chagrin Falls, a picturesque village with abundant opportunities for idyllic photo shots. Evoking a time gone by, Chagrin Falls provides a sense of nostalgia and serenity that only the past can convey. For spring weddings, capitalize on the thousands of blossoms dotting trees and bushes throughout this little town. Stone walkways along the river offer natural stopping points for group photos. Have your photographer arrange several poses with the wedding party in foreground and one of many waterfalls beyond. Continue further along the walkway to capture your final solo shots of bride and groom. Enhance the historic ambiance of your photography by arranging poses with both falls and classic brick architecture in the background.

Ahoy there,
Thanks for taking the time to read this. I'm in a programming class and this is my first adventure into the subject.
I'm working on a code that is supposed to be a number guessing game.
Here's where I am at so far
import java.util.*; import java.io.*; public class number_guessing_game { public static void main (String[] args) { BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader(System.in)); double attempts = 0; double random = 0; double guess = 0; String go = ""; Random generator = new Random (); int answer = generator.nextInt(10) + 1; while(go.equals("yes")) { System.out.println("How many chances do you want? "); try { attempts = Double.parseDouble(input.readLine()); } catch (IOException E) { System.out.println(E); } System.out.println("What's the magic number? (1-10)? "); try { guess = Double.parseDouble(input.readLine()); } catch (IOException E) { System.out.println(E); } if (guess == answer) { System.out.println("Congrats! You're guess is right"); } else if (guess != answer) { System.out.println("Sorry, that is not correct! Would you like to try again?"); try { go = input.readLine(); } catch (IOException E) { System.out.println(E); } } } } }
I exit nano, compile with no exceptions, but when I go to run it, I just get the next line:
student21@slisdl1:~/LS590/Labs/Lab4> javac number_guessing_game.java
student21@slisdl1:~/LS590/Labs/Lab4> java number_guessing_game
Any ideas? I've gone over it a ton and still can't put my finger on the problem.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions

In 2008, Matt Greenhalgh was awarded the Carl Foreman Award which champions the most promising talent in film.
BAFTA / Camera PressWords: Anwar Brett
The Carl Foreman Award recognises of remarkable achievement in first-time feature filmmaking. The nominees in 2008 included a producer, writer-director, director, screenwriter and documentary filmmaker. Immediate past winners include Andrea Arnold, JoeWright and Amma Asante.
Yet while the Foreman, named in honour of the blacklisted American screenwriter and producer based in the UK from the early 1950s, identifies individual achievement, each of those nominated last year was quick to recognise wider implications in their being honoured in this way.
"It was really great to be recognised as a producer," explains Mia Bays, nominated for Scott Walker: 30 Century Man, "because we are not generally recognised as the 'talent'."
It's all about peer recognition. In a way, awards and festivals are like a filtering process...
Bays, who won an Oscar two years ago for her short film Six Shooter, knows from personal experience how a nomination can raise the profile of her and her work.
"It's all about peer recognition. In a way, awards and festivals are like a filtering process. When you're someone who has passed through that filter with a shiny star attached to you, albeit for a small amount of time, it does really help of course."
For Andrew Piddington, writer-director of The Killing Of John Lennon, being nominated was a vindication of the dogged four-year journey he took bringing his film to the screen.
"This is a totally optimistic story – every aspiring filmmaker should take heart. If you pursue something and have the talent and are driven to make it happen then, eventually, somehow it will. All you ever want as a director is to be able to complete a film and launch it and let it have a life of its own, before moving on to something else."
All of these filmmakers recognise that they have reached something of a watershed in their careers now, that the Foreman recognition is a plateau to build upon for subsequent projects. And these projects may, in turn, be a little easier to realise thanks to the positive effect of a BAFTA nomination.
"It's early days," notes Brick Lane director Sarah Gavron, "but it's really encouraging for the work to be acknowledged at this stage in my career, and it's good for the morale of the team. It shines a light on the film and the filmmakers and the British film industry, which is really helpful. Anything that raises public awareness on a project is incredibly helpful."
"I've been producing low-budget indie films for about eight years, but the Carl Foreman nomination has definitely help put me on the map," agrees Chris Atkins, writer-director of the documentary Taking Liberties. "It was a huge honour just being nominated and I've got no complaints losing out to Control, which is an amazing film. If I'd been on the jury, it would have got my vote."
Which, in true awards show fashion, brings us to the winner in 2008, Matt Greenhalgh, screenwriter of Control. His day was made by winning the Foreman, which includes a £10,000 cash prize, but the auguries were already good for the football-mad, Manchester City fan.
"We flew to London, got into the car that was waiting for us and I asked them to put 5Live on," he recalls. "The presenter said they were going back to Old Trafford where City were leading 2-0. I turned to my wife and said 'listen, this BAFTA's mine!' There was no way there could be a score like that and I would lose anything. It was surreal.
"I was nominated for a Best New Writer BAFTA in 2003, for Clocking Off. It seemed like I'd done my TV bit and graduated. Now the first thing I've done in film actually wins something. So there is a sense of going in the right direction, I think, and I'm full of confidence and gratitude for where I am at the moment."

Ontario race remains tight with days to go
The Liberals are now narrowly in front with 37.3%, or between 36% and 41%, followed by the Progressive Conservatives at 36.5%, or between 35% and 40%. The New Democrats have up-ticked to 19.8%, or between 18% and 21%, while the Greens stand at 5.2%, or between 4% and 7% support.
The Liberals have dropped away from majority territory and are pegged to take 51 seats, or between 42 and 60 seats, while the PCs sit at 37 seats (or between 32 and 45). The NDP is now back up to 19 seats, or between 13 and 22.
This will be the last update before the final projection update, which will be posted either late Wednesday night or early Thursday morning. The final analysis, either way, will be up on Thursday morning.
It really is very close, but it is one thing to have a close race and another to have a race that might not end up being very close at all. The polls suggest a very tight margin between the Liberals and PCs, but the likely voter model from Ipsos Reid gives it to the PCs in a near landslide. And support for the NDP is either well above their 2011 performance, or well below it, which has a profound effect on the seat numbers for the Liberals and PCs. Unless the final polls show a move all in one direction, we should be going into Election Day with little comfort.
Abacus Data for the Sun News Network, EKOS Research for iPolitics, and Oracle for ECO, used a mix of methodologies. They all came to the same general conclusion for the two leading parties: either a tie or a statistically insignificant lead. The Liberals get either 34% or 35% in these polls, the PCs between 31% and 36%. That is rather tight.
For the NDP, though, the range extends from 20% to 28%. That is a very wide range, and spans everything from a waste-of-time election for the NDP or a major breakthrough.
It is interesting to compare the trend lines, however. Abacus was last in the field May 28-31, just before the debate on June 3. Since then, the Liberals dropped three points, the Tories picked up one, and the NDP gained four.
EKOS has been conducting a rolling poll since before the debate, but if we look at its May 29-June 1 numbers, done at mostly the same time as Abacus, we see similar movement: a drop of four points for the Liberals, a gain of one for the Tories, and a gain of three for the NDP. It will be interesting to see if, in the last numbers put out by these polls, we will see things continuing to move in the same direction.
Adam Radwanski in the Globe and Mail today writes about the internal polls being done by the Liberals and Tories. Both now seem to expect a minority government in which they will hold sway, but more interestingly perhaps is that both internal polls have shown an uptick for the PCs since the debate. That jives with the public polls. The projection, for example, had the Tories at just 33.8% in polls done up to June 2.
Abacus had a series of other questions included in their poll that may shed some more light on these horserace numbers.
32% of Ontarians expect the Liberals to win, while 25% think the Tories will prevail. That is rather close, and suggests that voters may go into the polling booths expecting a very tight result. That might encourage strategic voting, which could hurt the NDP and Greens.
On the other hand, just 24% think the Wynne government deserves re-election, a drop of three points since last week, while 54% think it is time for a change, a jump of six points.
Interest in the campaign is growing, as 42% told Abacus they had given quite a lot of thought to the campaign, up from 32% when Abacus first polled in the early stages of the race. Interestingly, and perhaps depressingly for those in the media, the proportion of respondents saying they are following the news concerning the campaign very closely has hardly changed (24%).
Counter-acting the benefits that Tim Hudak has probably gained as a result of the debate (which Abacus's respondents said he won) is that the percentage of Ontarians saying they have a negative opinion of the PC leader has jumped to its highest of the campaign so far, at 52%. No wonder, then, that the Liberals are going after NDP voters with the Hudak boogeyman. Will it work? According to Abacus, NDP/OLP swing voters favour Kathleen Wynne as premier over Andrea Horwath by a margin of 48% to 26%. Oracle, meanwhile, showed that 46% of non-PC voters were casting a ballot against Hudak, rather than for another leader or party.
It is a dizzying array of pros and cons for each leader. Plausible, defensible, and ultimately accurate arguments as to why Wynne or Hudak will win (or that the NDP will out-perform expectations) on Thursday could be written up, and proponents of either could only reasonably agree to disagree. A terrific situation for democracy and election-watchers, a horrible one for pollsters.

Thierry, can you check your numbers? It doesn't seem plausible that with Abacus Likely voters you would have PC by +1 seat, when their numbers actually show a dead heat, and the eligible-voters show Libs by 13 seats.Delete
I made a verification and those really are my numbers. The 3% lead, at those levels, mean a lot, especially with such a strong NDP. With the OLP and PC tied, the NDP hurts the OLP more than it hurts the PC, which takes away the inherent advantage the OLP has with the electoral system.Delete
Just to give you an idea though, with the likey-voters numbers, 18 seats are won with less than 5%, 9 of those with less than 2%, and the 5% or less rise to 24 with the eligible-voters, 14 of those by less than 2%. This makes those seats very tight races and a slight error in the polls or a slight different turnout could make a major difference on those projections.
If the NDP actually did get 28% of the PV, what could their seat count be expected to be?ReplyDeleteReplies
In my own model, obviously not the same as Eric's, if the NDP received 28% (and GPO at 5% for simplicity's sake), I would get:Delete
With OLP and PC both at 33%:
With OLP at 35% and PC at 31%:
With the PC at 35% and OLP at 31%:
Hope you find this answer satisfying!
Thanks. :)Delete
Actually Eric that "days to go" is wrong. Only tomorrow and then vote on Thursday !!ReplyDelete
What I do find interesting is how the Liberals have aimed their TV advertising into this last week of campaigning. They were pretty quiet at the start of the campaign but now wow are they and their associates ever pushing the stuff out and it is all very professional stuff. Has to have an influence.ReplyDelete
Whereas the PC ads seem to have virtually disappeared ??Replies
Disappeared? Haha no. Plenty of Tory ads all over TV, and today I ever saw an NDP ad for the first time, albeit it seemed like a 15 second clip of Andrea talking (never good) that they filmed with a cell phone on Monday afternoon. Plenty of commercials from Working Families, and even a few from Working Canadians. Everyone is in the final push.Delete

CHCH TV out of Hamilton is reporting that a new poll shows the OLP could win a majority. I can't find out anything more than that. Eric have you heard anything?ReplyDeleteReplies
Fingers crossed EarlDelete
Nothing on their twitter feed or their website after the 6PM news cycle, and to be honest it doesn't make much sense anyway even if there was one. All the pollsters seem to have converged on a statistical tie between the Tories and the OLP with the wildcard being the level of NDP support and how likely their likely voter models actually are.Delete
Actually, they were probably talking about the Forum poll. Wouldn't hold my breath on their seat count breakdown if I were any of you.Delete
Eric -- Thanks for all your work here.ReplyDelete
So you're saying a solid Liberal minority is the most likely outcome. 51-37-19. I think the polls have been all over the map so much that I don't take them seriously any more, but you know more about the polling methodologies than I do.

"But Frank Graves, president of Ekos Research Associates, said he believes voters are concerned about the scandals but are also leery of some of Hudak's proposals.
"What I see is a genuinely flummoxed part of the electorate that simply can't choose between the rock and the hard place … do you want to have this government — that probably should be in the penalty box for all the things that have happened — back in power again. Or do you really like this almost scorched-earth type of anti-government model that Mr. Hudak is proposing."

The way this is shaking out ... anybody feel like making odds on getting exactly the results at dissolution (ignoring the vacancy)?ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm sure it is just as likely as any of the other possibilities. Thing is if the race is as close as some of the polls are predicting, all it will take is a very slight nudge in a few of the GTA ridings to flip the seat count around for the Liberals and PCs.Delete
Another possibility I've been thinking about is the Tories win the popular vote but not the seat count. Should be interesting.
Ipsos is releasing their latest poll this evening. John Wright says it contains some big surprises. Hudak in majority territory? The most recent Liberal ads seem desperate to me and smack of a losing campaign but I admit I'm biased...ReplyDeleteReplies
Startegy voting might come into place. Grits have 4 to 7 points lead, but what might help them even more is strategic voting. There are no other right or far-right wing parties with significant vote percentage, while the progressive vote other than the Liberals has an extra 20-25 percent or even more. Sounds more like a Liberal win, though will see with the turnout, but I think we might have two political parties that will be looking for a new leader after tommorrow.ReplyDeleteReplies
The problem is the Liberal party is a small "c" conservative party not a "progressive party. That is why they subsidise business and have close ties to Bay St. We see this fairly often when the Liberals go down in the polls Tories usually go up and when the Tories go down in the polls the Liberals usually go up, not to say some Liberals don't move left but, most move right.Delete
Ipsos latest shows a virtual three way tie. Wow! Love that. PCs still in lead among likely voters. The splits will be key. Probably won't change the Liberal hold of the 416 but I wonder if the NDP could steal a few seats from the Libs in the North and SW.ReplyDeleteReplies
So it was a 3-way race before the election was called and now it is a 3-way race again. How do we know the polling companies didn't just lie to everybody to try and make it appear as a 2-way race to marginalize the NDP? Oh yeah we can't know.Delete
Before this election I thought all major pollsters had a position of neutrality. Now, however, I think some pollsters may be more aligned to political parties than others. I don't have any proof, I will say some pollsters "likely voter" models seem suspicious to me.Delete
I will be so glad to see this election over with so I won't have to be subjected to these ridiculous polls.ReplyDeleteReplies
I am curious then, honestly, why are you commenting on a site that is about polling and prediction?Delete
This election looks like anything could happen. I'm glad I'm not Eric trying predict the outcome.ReplyDelete
I do think the Liberal campaign has has likely cost them votes in waning days of this election. Most likely we are doing the same thing in eighteen months to two years.Replies
I just wish they would stick to traditional polling of which party is leading the poll instead of this 'eligable voters', 'motivated voters', 'likely voters' rubbish. Makes my head spin.Delete
Surely it's obvious with today's polls that Ipsos is indeed betting the farm against the rest. It's very difficult to consider such a huge change given the other polls and, yes, Ipsos' numbers are consistent with their previous polls. So, you either buy them or buy the rest, but someone will be very wrong tomorrow night.ReplyDelete
The Liberals in KW sent out an interesting flyer today. In big font it says "It's a Two-Way Race in K-W Wynne or Hudak" There is a picture of Wynne and Hudak then in the bottom right there is a chart which reads at the top "Local Polls Show Liberals & PC Battle" The bar chart then shows the PC at 31, Liberal at 35 and NDP at 26 with the date "June 6, 2014" on the bottom of the chart. Then below that it says "Source threehundredeight.com". This is presumably in response to a flyer I received a few days ago from the NDP which showed a similar bar chart but it used the results of the by-election to show that it is a two way race between the NDP and PC. (I don't have that flyer anymore so I can't give as much detail).ReplyDelete
I see links here to the Forum, Angus Reid and Ipsos polls released today. But not yet to the new Abacus release: 36-36-23 (likely voters). I assume everyone has seen this morning's Ekos.ReplyDelete
So, Libs ahead, Cons ahead, all tied up, Dems fading or Dems surging. Something for everybody!! :-)Replies
For the other firms, you can look up, but for Abacus, here goes! With eligible-voters:Delete

Does anybody know that if in the next provincial election the new federal ridings taking effect in 2015 will be used?ReplyDelete
My Queens Park connections think it's likely, whoever wins, that they will enact the law to adopt the new federal districts as the provincial districts too.ReplyDeleteReplies
That will make things easier for candidates like me ;)Delete
Good luck predicting this one.ReplyDelete
Best wishes making predictions on this one. I can only predict that I will be going to bed late tomorrow.ReplyDelete
I looked at the Abacus poll. More and more voters have doubts about Hudak and Wynn, whereas Horwath's popularity is unchanged. Most people expect a Liberal government, though. Most polls have also showed an NDP uptick in the last week.ReplyDelete
I predict a surging NDP leading to a reduced Liberal minority, but a tight 3-way race. A weak Conservative minority would be almost as likely, though.

So I am going to replace my struts after this season. The one is really eaten away from the corrosion and the other isn't in that bad of shape but it still has the original bearings. I have talked with Marinette about making a new struts however they would need a template and I would need to ship mine down so they could get the specs to make the new ones. Should I go that route or just look to a machine shop?
I also have a question about when I reinstall them. Should I put a sealant, 5200, on the base of the strut before bolting it down? Does that have the strut isolated from my hull?

Some of the best funny car racers back in the day
And…we're back, ears still ringing, eyes still watering, brainwaves scrambled like eggs, and minds altered in that fitful rain of raw fuel with lungs in lockdown for more than a few seconds. It occurred that while all of this was being documented, it was only for a particle of a second and then the thunder dragons and their surly, stinking breath became the past, just like that. The sacred moment burst like a soap bubble, without an inkling, without a single thought of posterity. All we wanted to do was get the shot and get the hell out of the way.
Soft Harpoon
Not to be confused with Javelin 1, a back-motor car with a body that flipped up from the rear, the conventional-layout Javelin 2 ran the Coke circuit in 1969 and won a special American Motors race at Irwindale. Doug Thorley teamed driver Dick Bourgeois with tuner Earl Wade, and they ran a 449-inch AMC engine. The second iteration had a Wade-built 427 Chevy that went 7.38 at 204.
Snowman vs. Setzer
Two of the hottest Funny Cars in the world were ready to duke it out at an early '70s match race. The joint was rockin', OCIR's Steve Evans was busily promoting its annual Manufacturer's Meets, and 32-car mid-week shows were commonplace. Gene Snow, still active as a car owner, won just about every title available to a nitro-burner. North Carolinian Barry Setzer had a stable of Fuel Cars that were built, and often driven, by the late, great Pat Foster.
Dandy Dick
Landy flattens the pie-crust M&H's and hangs 'em at 223rd and Alameda in the outlands of fabled Wilmington, California. Scary brutes like his long-stack, altered-wheelbase Coronet soon morphed into the Funny Car as we know it. From Super Stock to A/FX, Landy and his Dodges were most feared.
Moon Shot
Before the late Gene Mooneyham opened his fabled shop, he moved from Southern California to South Louisiana to run Car Shop, Inc. In 1967, the Car Shop team built this Chevy-powered Camaro with its trademark Charger-style roofline. It was driven by Frank Huff or Henry Garcia and eventually turned a best of 7.51 at 189. When Car Shop went fish-belly, Mooneyham repaired to SoCal and enjoyed his successful supercharger business.
What can you say about Tom McEwen? The hall-of-fame driver, team owner, and self-promoter can be credited with the concept of corporate-sponsored teams. At times, Coca-Cola, Mopar, and Revell all put heavy money in his operations, and in return, they got one of the sport's very best.

Van Gaal appointed United boss
Louis van Gaal vowed to "make history" after being confirmed as Manchester United's new manager on a big news day at Old Trafford.
Van Gaal's long-awaited appointment was confirmed alongside that of Ryan Giggs as his assistant, with the Welshman ending his glittering playing career as a result.
Van Gaal has signed a three-year deal and will take up his post when his duties as Holland national boss end after this summer's World Cup.
But although the tournament in Brazil will now command Van Gaal's immediate intention, the 62-year-old has alread y spoken of his determination to make an impact at United.
Van Gaal said: "It was always a wish for me to work in the Premier League. To work as a manager for Manchester United, the biggest club in the world, makes me very proud.
"I have managed in games at Old Trafford before and know what an incredible arena Old Trafford is and how passionate and knowledgeable the fans are.
"This club has big ambitions. I too have big ambitions. Together I'm sure we will make history."
United immediately identified former Ajax, Barcelona, AZ Alkmaar and Bayern Munich coach Van Gaal as a top target after David Moyes was sacked in April.
His vast experience of both winning trophies and handling top-level players, combined with his availability, made him an ideal candidate.
Negotiations took time due to his commitments with Holland but, having voiced his desire to manage in England and spoken of his high regard for United, an appointment always seemed likely.
The Dutchman, previously linked with Tottenham, boasts a rich coaching pedigree having won league titles with each of his clubs as well as the Champions League with Ajax. He is also now in his second spell as Holland manager.
United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward said: "In Louis van Gaal, we have secured the services of one of the outstanding managers in the game today.
"He has achieved many things in his career to date and Old Trafford provides him with a fitting stage on which to write new chapters in the Manchester United story.
"Everyone is very excited about this new phase in the club's history. His track record of success in winning leagues and cups across Europe throughout his career makes him the perfect choice for us.
"People know him as a larger than life character but I have also been extremely impressed by his intelligence, thoughtful approach to the role and his diligence. I'm looking forward to working with him."
United will hope the appointment can lift the club after a relatively poor 2013-14 season in which they finished seventh in the Premier League - their lowest position since 1990 - and failed to qualify for the Champions League.
The elevation of Giggs from his previous role as player-coach is also likely to prove popular.
The 40-year-old's future was thought to have been a key part of discussions with Van Gaal as the club were keen to retain his services in a coaching capacity.
Giggs, who retires as a player after an illustrious career which began in 1991, stepped in as interim manager for the final four games of last season following Moyes' exit.
Giggs, who made 963 United appearances and won 13 Premier League titles, said: "I am thrilled to have the chance to serve as assistant manager. Louis van Gaal is a world-class coach and I know I will learn a lot about coaching from being able to observe and contribute at such close quarters.
"Manchester United has been a huge part of my life and I'm delighted to be able to continue that relationship in such a key role."
In addition to Giggs, Holland goalkeeping coach Frans Hoek and coach Marcel Bout, a specialist in opposition scouting, will join the backroom staff.
As yet there has been no announcement from United concerning the future of Moyes' former assistants Phil Neville and Chris Woods.
With Van Gaal now due to travel to Portugal for a training camp with Holland, he is unlikely to be presented by United at a news conference until after the World Cup.
When he arrives he is thought likely to make a number of changes to the squad.
Some will be necessary anyway, notably in defence, following the departures of Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic.
Club owners Joel and Avie Glazer are convinced Van Gaal is the right man for the job.
Joel Glazer said: "He has an outstanding pedigree as a coach, both as a man who motivates his teams to win trophies and as someone who believes in giving young players a chance to prove their worth. I am sure he will make a big impression on the club, the players and the fans."
Avie Glazer said: "Louis joins us at an exciting time and has already communicated some great ideas for how the club can move forward.
"The board is right behind him in his plans and everyone here is already looking forward to the start of next season."

In wake of Sandy, Little League fields get new life
BAYONNE, N.J. -- By the time Hurricane Sandy had finished punishing the Northeast last October, there was nearly nothing left of the Bayonne Little League fields. Certainly not enough for the upcoming 2013 season.
Yet on Saturday, the league's scheduled Opening Day, there they were -- hundreds of boys and girls, coaches and parents -- marching down West 1st Street in the Bayonne Little League Opening Day parade.
And thanks to countless donations and support, including a grant of more than $83,000 from the Baseball Tomorrow Fund and an additional $8,000 raised by Major League Baseball groundskeepers, the parade marched straight through the left-field gate and onto the completely restored Volunteer Stadium field at the Bayonne Little League complex.
"You were hit hard down here by Sandy," said Bayonne mayor Mark Smith in an on-field ceremony prior to Saturday's opening game. "And, as mayor, it's my job to ensure that you folks are able to have this season and it's my job to come up with contingency plans. In one of our meetings just after [Sandy] with the volunteers here from Little League, we were discussing the potential of perhaps having to have this season somewhere else.
"It was at that point that Joe Spengler, your president and your leader, looked me dead in the eye and he said, 'Mayor Smith, we are playing Little League baseball in our stadium.'"
At that time, such a statement hardly seemed realistic.
With the complex sitting right along the water at the tip of the Bayonne peninsula, Sandy had ravaged the fields and destroyed pitching machines, catcher's equipments, hundreds of helmets and uniforms and more than 1,500 baseballs.
"When Sandy hit us, [Spengler] walked into the compound and initially he thought we had escaped with minor damages," said Brian Petty, the league administrator and emcee of Saturday's ceremony. "But when he started opening everything up, he saw the devastation. He broke down into tears. After a few minutes, he composed himself, started his plan and from there the wheels started spinning. They have not stopped spinning since and they will not stop until the end of the season."
One of the steps of that plan involved reaching out to the Baseball Tomorrow Fund, which in 2005 had awarded the league a $50,000 grant to install lights and a new backstop. At the time, Baseball Tomorrow Fund executive director Cathy Bradley left Bayonne with a simple message: If you ever need anything, just ask.
Seven years later, they didn't need just anything -- they needed almost everything. Still, it was a no-brainer for league treasurer Michael Conway that the first e-mail he'd sent would be to Bradley and the Baseball Tomorrow Fund.
"The Sandy storm devastated so many communities and, for those of us who were not directly affected, it's really nice to be able to help out in some way to get your communities back to where they should be," Bradley said. "So, on behalf of all of us in the baseball family, we are happy to help out, especially the Bayonne Little League and the city of Bayonne."
With that, Bradley presented a ceremonial check for $92,186 to the Bayonne Little League. Along with the approximately $83,000 grant given by the Baseball Tomorrow Fund, the check included more than $8,000 raised in an MLB.com auction held by the league's groundskeepers at their annual conference in New York City.
That money played a key role in rebuilding the fields, as well as providing equipment and uniforms for the league. The donation also contributed toward batting cages and equipment for the girls softball program run through the league and the community.
"Thanks to the money we received, the hard work of the officers, Little League volunteers and contractors from this community, we are not only better, but stronger and safer as we stand here today," said league safety officer, John Hennessey. "This field is in better shape now than it ever was."
Looking at the Bayonne Little League complex on Nov. 1, it would have been hard to picture any games taking place at the fields again, let alone in just five short months. For some, like Spengler and the rest of the Bayonne Little League board, there was never any other option.
"I knew we'd be here today," Conway said. "I didn't know what shape the field would be in, but I knew we'd be here -- playing on brown grass or green, we'd be here."
Thanks to the overwhelming support in Sandy's aftermath from the community and beyond, the grass on Saturday was greener than it had ever been in Bayonne.

February 2009 saw the very first blog entry for The English Manner eleven months and 37 posts later, it is clear to me what a range of subjects we have been able to cover. From the very first post, which commented on suitable business attire in the modern day, to one of our latest entries about respecting age, I think you will agree that etiquette does apply to all aspects of life.
The blog has now had a slight lick of paint to give it a fresher feel; I hope you like it (if you can notice any difference at all!)
My personal favourite of all of the blog entries has to be the one from the 23rd November on Pre and Post Lactarians. I do realise that I have written a majority of the blog so it sounds almost immodest to pick one of my own piece, but what I like about this particular one is the grandiose terminology that Professor Alan S. C. Ross invented (or cited) in one of his books on the subject of sociolinguistics. It's so pompous it just has to be tongue in cheek, I am sure.
Each year, May sees the start of the British sporting and cultural season. Last year we commented on the major events of said period, such as Royal Ascot, Wimbledon and the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. More posts on these events are inevitable, as they never fail to flag up questions of protocol and social customs. Incidentally, if any of our readers have any queries we are always willing to answer them. Please see our main website for details of how to pose your question.
The problem with writing a weekly blog (give or take a week here and there off) is that it becomes slightly difficult when the yearly cycle of events begins again. Does one post the same musings on the Royal Epsom Derby again? Should one try to cover new ground about the same event? The trouble with that is, eventually one will run out of things to say as it will have all been said. As to how we at The English Manner will be getting round this minor dilemma, you'll have to wait and see.
What is to come in 2010, I hear thousands of you all ask? We aim to provide an insight into events such as the Oxford & Cambridge boat race, Glastonbury, and the State Opening of Parliament, as well as commenting on the etiquette that is associated with wine, flags and behaviour when abroad. Naturally, blogs are reactive and as such anything that crops up in the news that regards etiquette will probably get a look in on our blog, too.
But we want your ideas and suggestions for postings, too. If you have a subject you'd like further investigating or a couple of questions about the same topic, please feel more than free to send them to us. Equally, if you read one of the posts and disagree, are confused, or concur with what we've said… comment! We love reading what you're saying – a lot of the time they can be insightful and sometimes amusing.
Here's to an interactive 2010.

Back to school season is full of preparation for teachers, from organizing lesson plans to prepping classrooms for the year ahead. But this fall, teachers are preparing for a new element in the classroom: the unpredictable threat of a swine flu epidemic.
Researchers are rushing to develop a swine flu vaccine, but the advent of flu season will likely outpace the release of an effective vaccine. "With a flu pandemic starting possibly in early to mid-September, and the protection through injection not available until December at the earliest, we have several months of coverage that we have to figure out how to get around," said Jerald Newberry, Executive Director of the NEA Health Information Network.
That means that teachers, as well as parents and school administrators, need to be on high alert during the notoriously hectic back to school season. Wondering how teachers can prepare? Here are 10 ways that teachers can ready classrooms and students for swine flu this fall:
- Wash Hands. "The tools in our toolkit are fairly limited," said Newberry, but hand washing is still the best way to keep the flu virus from spreading. Teachers should encourage children to wash their hands frequently and thoroughly throughout the day, and should follow suit themselves. "Hand sanitizer would certainly not be a bad idea," added Anatoly Belilovsky, M.D., director of a pediatric practice in Brooklyn, NY.
- Keep Coughs and Sneezes Covered. The flu virus is spread through droplets from sneezes and coughs, so students should be taught how to cover their mouths correctly, and teachers should model proper technique. Sneezing or coughing into your hands or a tissue is good, but it's even better to use the crook of your arm. Remember to always wash hands afterwards!
- Send Sick Students Home Immediately. "There is some evidence that swine flu may be more virulent than the ordinary flu," said Joseph Bellanti, M.D., Professor of Pediatrics and Microbiology/Immunology at Georgetown Medical Center. However, he urges that people be sensible and follow the same protocol as with ordinary flu. "Body aches, fever, sore throat, cough, runny nose and headache" are all symptoms of the flu, said Bellanti, and indicate that students should be sent home as soon as possible.
- Give Allowances for Absenteeism. Parents and students alike may feel pressure to avoid sick days, but sending kids to school with even a hint of flu symptoms is a dangerous idea. Teachers should stress that taking sick days when a child is actually sick is not only okay, it's imperative to prevent the spread of the illness. "Respect the parent's decision of when to send kids to school and when not to," urged Belilovsky. Make it clear that homework allowances will be given and student will have the opportunity to make up classwork when they return to school.
- Keep Classrooms Clean. Surfaces such as desks and doorknobs get a lot of traffic in classrooms, and can be a magnet for germs. "Work with the school custodian to keep the room extra clean," advises Newberry, saying that teachers will likely need to take on more cleaning duties in the classroom.
- Experiment with Social Spacing. The CDC recommends that teachers devise ways to keep students further apart from one another, whether it means moving desks, holding classes outside, or otherwise experimenting with social distancing. However, Amy Garcia, President of the National Association of School Nurses, says social spacing may be a challenge this year due to increased over-crowding in classrooms. That means that teachers may need to get creative when it comes to keeping students a safe distance from one another.
- Be Aware of Your Own Health. Teachers come into contact with scores of students every day. "There's a very good chance that some of our members will be exposed and many will get sick," said Newberry, of the NEA. Keep your immune system healthy by getting lots of sleep and taking vitamins, including vitamin D, and don't try to soldier on if you feel the beginnings of flu-like symptoms: go home and stay home until 24 hours after symptoms have disappeared.
- Develop Strategies for Homework. "As much as possible, continue the lesson plan that's going on at school with homework assignments that students can do at home, and have makeup activities to help catch kids up," advised Newberry. Whether it's making class assignments and materials available online, or developing an action plan with parents for getting homework home, establish a system for getting materials to sick students before school starts.
- Stay Organized. Teachers know how to stay organized, but keep in mind that substitute teachers may need to pick up mid-lesson if principle teachers get sick. Make sure that your lesson plans will be legible to a sub, and keep class materials centralized or filed in an organized fashion so that they will be easy to find and follow.
- Prepare an Info Packet for Parents. Swine flu sounds scary, and it's easy for parents to panic without knowing all the facts. Prepare your students' families by putting together a packet full of information and recommendations, to be sent home on the first day of school or on back to school night. Be sure to include a list of flu symptoms, and tips for what to do if children get sick.

New figures out today show California's unemployment rate continues to decline.
The state's unemployment rate dipped to 7.6 percent in May, down from 7.8 percent in April. California added more than 18,000 nonfarm jobs during the same time period. More than 10,000 of those jobs were added in the leisure and hospitality sector. Manufacturing posted the biggest decline in May, down 6,800 jobs compared to April.
Governor Jerry Brown says the falling unemployment rate is proof the state is on the right track.
"The economy is working, California is working. And your state government, by no means perfect, by no means solves all the problems forever, that's not the way life works," he says. "Every year we have issues and every year there is something to be done. But today I think we can be very proud of the fact that your government is working."
California's unemployment rate was 9 percent in May 2013. The state has added about 340,000 nonfarm jobs in the past year.
The national unemployment rate remained unchanged in May at 6.3 percent.

PHILADELPHIA — Caretakers of a deteriorating piece of maritime military history hope to have its future secured by next summer and continue working to ensure it stays afloat in the meantime.
The USS Olympia, a one-of-a-kind steel cruiser from the Spanish-American War, ideally would have been dry-docked every 20 years for maintenance but has not been out of the water since 1945. Since taking stewardship of the National Historic Landmark from a cash-strapped nonprofit in 1996, the Independence Seaport Museum has spent about $5 million on short-term repairs, inspections and maintenance but cannot afford to keep the ship.
A field of six organizations initially vying for the Olympia has been narrowed to two preservation groups — one in the San Francisco Bay Area, where the 5,500-ton warship was launched in 1892, and one in Port Royal, S.C., a strategic support post for the Atlantic fleet during the Spanish-American War.
Both groups will continue refining their proposals until the finalist is chosen next summer by an advisory team including officials from the museum, National Park Service and Pennsylvania Historical Museum Commission. The Navy will make the ultimate call on whether to accept the advisory team's recommendation.
Officials have said without extensive repairs, the rusting Olympia will sink at its moorings, be sold for scrap or scuttled for an artificial reef. They put out a call in 2011 seeking nonprofits and foundations to take stewardship of the weathered old cruiser, said to be the only steel warship in the world still afloat.
"We're on a path to preservation ... but we have a long way to go," said Independence Seaport Museum historic ships manager Jesse Lebovics.
The finalist must demonstrate it has the expertise, location and money to dredge the marina, tow the 344-foot-long ship to dry-dock, restore it and establish an endowment for future upkeep. Estimates have put that total price tag at $10 million to $20 million.
The deal also includes several thousand Olympia artifacts and documents that also will require museum-level care and maintenance, Independence Seaport Museum chief curator Craig Bruns said.
"We have a vested interest in making sure the institution the collections are going to is mature enough to care for these items," Bruns said. "A ship is a ship, but these are items donated by families of sailors on the Olympia. It's their closest connection to their ancestor."
Though the Olympia's condition remains dire, caretakers continue their efforts to keep further deterioration at bay until the transfer. In the past three years, about $500,000 in donation-funded stabilization work has included hundreds of patches to the leaky deck and corroded lower hull, updated high-water and fire alarms, a new network of bilge-pumping pipes in case of a hull breech, and repairs and maintenance to riggings.
"Everything we've done we've done well but they're still interim steps," said Independence Seaport Museum historic ships manager Jesse Lebovics. "The underlying problems remain and they're big."
From Olympia's bridge on May 1, 1898, during the Battle of Manila Bay in the Philippines, Commodore George Dewey uttered the famous command: "You may fire when ready, Gridley." The Spanish fleet was decimated, making Dewey and the Olympia national heroes.
Its final mission was bringing home the body of World War I's Unknown Soldier from France in 1921. The vessel was decommissioned in 1922 and was largely forgotten until it was nearly scrapped in the 1950s — and Philadelphia residents rallied to save it.
Olympia opened as a museum in 1958, but funding woes and threats of sale or scrap have been part of its history ever since. It gets about 90,000 visitors annually and remains open to the public seven days a week.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation has set up a fund for donations to Olympia.
Work continues to save historic warship in Philly

By Patsy R. Brumfield/NEMS Daily Journal
Americans woke up this week to shocking news that much-admired CIA chief David Petraeus had resigned over an extramarital affair.
Take 2: Top military leader Gen. John Allen's nomination to head the European command is on hold over questions relating to the Petraeus story.
We shake our heads and wonder how both these well-thought-of individuals could have gotten themselves into such personal and professional jams.
Is it power that fuels the disregard for accountability or that falsely shields the transgressor from detection?
Or is it just pure and simple chemistry, which re-routes the brain from rationality?
This isn't a political scandal, yet. High regard for both these men reaches, for once, across the aisles.
Certainly, this isn't the first time we've learned that our officials in high places have feet of clay.
FDR, Eisenhower, JFK. Many others we'll never know about.
Each revelation is disappointing, to say the least. The stupidity of such behavior is almost beyond understanding.
Since I am not a man, I suppose I lack the proper empathy and certainly the biochemistry.
Of course, it takes two to tango.
And certainly, people in lesser levels of authority also misbehave badly.
Are these people just not "wired" for fidelity? Do they seek greater thrills from the risky proximity to disclosure?
That's more than my puny brain can or wants to work through.
And so, we may ask ourselves, why do such highly respected people do such stupid things?
Clearly, they believed no one would ever know.
Wasn't it enough to just look in the mirror, or is it just too easy for us to deceive ourselves?
We also may ask how anyone transmits highly inappropriate emails with complete disregard for their discovery?
Surely, everyone knows by now these electronic messages don't disappear when you hit the "delete" button.
As these investigations continue, the public likely will learn more about the indiscretions. They have become the daily news fodder and won't disappear from earshot anytime soon.
Yet, is there something to learn from this tawdry state of affairs?
I harken back to the extended embarrassment of Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky, when many of us drove our teenagers to school as PBS brought us up to date on that awful saga.
Perhaps it's a moment to talk with our older children about fidelity to others and to value our own good names.
To talk about the importance of integrity and trust in relationships, and how wrong it is to hurt others who have given their trust.
Perhaps some of us take for granted the soundness of our relationships and what constitutes unacceptable behavior.
Conversations like that may be happening around kitchen tables now.
As for those most immediately affected by these scandals, I surely hope for what's best for them and our country.

He studied at Petrograd Technological Institute from 1923, and defended an outstanding thesis submitted to the Division of Mechanics. The papers he published at this time are (all in Russian): Instrument for the integration of the Laplace equation (1925); On a method of integration of ordinary differential equations (1925); On the description of an instrument for the integration of the Laplace equation (1926); and On mechanisms for the construction of functions of a complex variable (1926). He became Professor at the Institute of Mechanical Engineering in Leningrad in 1930, and from 1930 he worked in the Leningrad Mechanical Engineering Institute on algebra, theory of functions of complex variables, numerical methods and differential equations. He became head of the Division of Mechanics at the Turbine Institute as well as teaching innovative courses at Leningrad State University. The authors of [5] write:-
... he quickly became one of the leading figures in Soviet Mechanics and Applied Mathematics. His many papers brought him to attention and made him famous world-wide. These were on the theory of elasticity, the theory of vibrations, the theory of mechanisms, methods of approximate numerical integration of differential equations and on other areas of mechanics and applied mathematics. His first publications showed him to be an outstandingly gifted young scientist but soon, in what were his last years, his talent matured and blossomed. The main features of Gershgorin's individuality are the innovative way he approached a problem, combined with power and clarity of analysis. These features are already apparent in his early papers - for example, his brilliant idea showing how to construct the profiles of airplane wings - and continue through to his last outstanding results in elasticity theory and in theory of vibrations.First let us look briefly at his 1925 and 1926 papers whose titles we gave above. Garry Tee, in [6], describes some of Gershgorin's contributions contained in them:-
Gershgorin proposed an original and intricate mechanism for solving the Laplace equation, and he described such a device in detail in 'Instrument for the integration of the Laplace equation' (1925). J J Sylvester had proved that any algebraic relation between real variables could be modelled by linkage mechanisms, but he had not mentioned the possibility of actually constructing such mechanisms. In Gershgorin's 1926 paper 'On mechanisms for the construction of functions of a complex variable', he described linkage mechanisms implementing the complex arithmetic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. He described mechanisms for constructing the complex relations w = z2 and w = z3, which could also be applied for extracting square roots and cube roots. Gershgorin proposed that linkage mechanisms be constructed for various standard functions, which could then be assembled into larger mechanisms for more complicated functions. Later he became the first person to construct analogue devices applying complex variables to the theory of mechanisms ...In 1929 Gershgorin published On electrical nets for approximate solution of the differential equation of Laplace (Russian) in which he gave a method for finding approximate solutions to partial differential equations by constructing a model based on networks of electrical components. In the following year he published Fehlerabschätzung für das Differenzverfahren zur Lösung partieller Differentialgleichungen
The Gershgorin Circle Theorem , a very well-known result in linear algebra today, stems from the paper of S Gershgorin in 1931 where, given an arbitrary n x n complex matrix, easy arithmetic operations on the entries of the matrix produce n disks, in the complex plane, whose union contains all eigenvalues of the given matrix. The beauty and simplicity of Gershgorin's Theorem has undoubtedly inspired further research in this area, resulting in hundreds of papers in which the name "Gershgorin" appears.Ludwig Elsner [2] makes an interesting remark concerning the fact that Gershgorin wrote his paper on the Circle Theorem in German:-
I would also point out the significance of the fact that Gershgorin's article was written in German. It is safe to guess that this was one of the reasons that certain people outside the Soviet Union, such as Olga Taussky-Todd and Alfred Brauer, studied it and made it known in the West during the 1940s. Other important papers written in the Soviet Union in the 1930s became known in the West only much later. I think that the influence of language on communication of mathematical ideas and results is substantial and cannot be overstated.The authors of [5] write about Gershgorin's death at the very young age of 31:-
A vigorous, stressful job weakened Semyon Aranovich's health; he succumbed to an accidental illness, and a brilliant and successful young life has ended abruptly. Semyon Aranovich Gershgorin's death is a great and irreplaceable loss to Soviet Science.Gershgorin's final paper On the conformal map of a simply connected domain onto a circle (Russian) was published in 1933 after his death. He begins the paper with the following sentence:-
In this paper we present a method of conformal mapping of a given (finite or infinite) connected domain onto a disk, which is based on reducing the problem to a Fredholm integral equation.Garry Tee writes [6]:-
L Lichtenstein [in 'Zur Theorie der konformen Abbildung: Konforme Abbildung nicht-analytischer, singularitätenfreier Flächenstücke auf ebene Gebiete'
Ⓣ(1916)] had reduced that important problem to the solution of a Fredholm integral equation. Independently of Lichtenstein, Gershgorin utilised Nystrom's method and reduced that conformal transformation problem to the same Fredholm integral equation. Later, A M Banin solved the Lichtenstein-Gershgorin integral equation approximately, by reducing it to a finite system of linear differential equations.

So in my last blog, I talked about the black sheep numbered entry of the Suikoden franchise, Suikoden IV. Today, we're going to look at Rhapsodia, better known as Suikoden Tactics in the West. Tactics is a gaiden title that serves as both prequel/sequel side story to Suikoden IV. What makes it really standout is that the game is no longer a turn-based RPG about collecting 108 heroes, but instead a Tactical Turn Based RPG a la Final Fantasy Tactics, Fire

I feel like the year 2001 was an odd year in gaming. One of the first time where you really felt like the end of an era and the beginning of a new one was coming. Sony was gearing up to release the successor to the smash hit PlayStation and if you looked around the gaming scene, it seemed like every company was jumping ship to get on board what the PS2 could do. Square had released their PS1 swan song FFIX even though they would still support the PS1 with
