St. Anne kids make Beaumont so proud
With honors … Sixteen students from St. Anne Catholic School competed with more than 1,000 students from across Texas in the 2012 Private Schools Interscholastic Association Academic State Meet AA Division held April 28 at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth. The St. Anne's academic team proudly received 13th place out of 121 schools at the state meet, earning the highest ranking of any other elementary AA division team in Southeast Texas. These students qualified to attend the State academic competition by placing first or second individually in one or more contests at the PSIA District Meet hosted by St. Elizabeth Anne Seton Catholic School in Houston on March 24. PSIA serves 260 member schools and provides the most comprehensive academic extracurricular program in the nation for private-schooled students in grades 1-8, offering 19 contests with awards in 60 grade-level events. Contests include a wide spectrum of advanced curricula in mathematics, science, social studies, listening, reading, vocabulary, speaking, writing, art, music and drama. Representing St. Anne Catholic School at the state meet: Grade 1, Noah Sodolak, storytelling; Grade 3, Jianna Bajar, spelling; Lauren Maglalang, spelling; Grade 4, Jerard Bajar, spelling; Isabella Edano, spelling; Grade 5, Brandon Wheeler, ready writing; Grade 6, Hannah Chaudhury, spelling; John Oliverio, ready writing; Michael Phung, maps graphs and charts; Nathan Punay, maps, graphs and charts; Grade 7, Mandelson Acabado, spelling; Garrison Bowling, maps, graphs and charts; Grade 8, Zachary Frazier, maps, graphs and charts, and science; Jake Sherman, Andrea Steward, impromptu speaking; and Jillian Wenner, dictionary skills. Thank you to our future leaders for such an outstanding show from our fair city!
Setting their sights … Ducks Unlimited Beaumont Chapter hosted its 25-year Silver Anniversary "Fun Shoot" recently in conjunction with Armed Forces Day. The mission of the event is to raise awareness and funds for the organization as they recognize The Boy Scouts, West Brook NJROTC and the military as well as provide fun, friendly and casual shooting competition. This "Fun Shoot" was the first of its kind in our area. Participating in the different categories were Ed Edson III, Roger Croley, Frank Celli, John Wells (who had the support of wife, Adele), Bryan Fisher, Lisa Gilchriest, Larry Beaulieu (with son Brad), Bob Edson, Randy Coleman and Gerald Reidmueller. What a wonderful way to commune with nature, have a great time as well as make the community aware of this worthwhile organization!
Family affair … When precious couple Jennifer Corona and Mark Phelan tie the knot in October, it will be after the many parties in their honor, since both come from such large families. That being said, it was only fitting that the future bride's parents, Cindy and Donnie Carona Jr., hosted a family party introducing both sides of the family to each other. With gorgeous weather, their beautiful backyard, with a fiesta theme and brightly covered tables, was the setting for this jubilant event. Siblings of the bride, Rachel and Donnie Corona III, assisted their parents with hosting duties. Representing the future groom's side of the family were sisters Keili Phelan Smith (with hubby Ted), Michelle Phelan,Cammie Phelan and Mattie Phelan; along with brothers and sister-in-laws Lan and Dynasy Phelan, as well as Dade and Kim Phelan; uncles and aunts Mickey and Elizabeth Phelan, and Patrick and Kathryn Phelan, and Tykie Nosek. Cousins Kathryn Grace, Eric Meadows, and Phoebe and Jon Bassana, Ellen and Danny Phelan were there (and most had their offspring with them), as were, of course, the groom-to-be's fantastic parents, Janey and Michael Phelan. Representing the future bride's side of the family were grandparents Velma and Floyd Begnaud, and Gwen and Joe Corona, aunts and uncles Debbie and Tim Sebastian, Vickie Seymour, Brenda and Gerard Cascio, Laura and Larry Begnaud, Ed McCarthy, Beth and Patton Drewitt, and cousins Angele, Haley and Gabrielle Seymour, Monique Sebastian, Heather and Jason Begnaud, Kristen and Austin Begnaud, Nick and Travis Corona, and Hayes, Malone and Patton Drewitt Jr. A delicious Mexican fare was prepared by the hosts and enjoyed by both families. What a wonderful way to begin a future marriage merger — by bringing together so many family members! Congrats!
Candles and cakes … Belated best to Kristi Dodd and Heidi Joyner Mast. Birthday wishes to Debra Harken,Marty Craig,Jamie Talbert,Anne East,Debbie Lene,Kit Ohmstede,Harrison Hayes,Camille Ohmstede,Mark Hyland,Kristen Oliphant, Ryan Brown,Austin Brown,Drew Burns andZoe Wenner. Until the next RSVP!

Recently I got major help from tutor but I forget some of the stuff he said and (unlike the next time tomorrow) I didn't have a recorder on me at the time so I can't go back and refer to what he was saying -_- .
I'd just like explanations to understand this.See even though my tutor graciously commented to the side what each line of code does I don't think I still know why what is there is there and how each statement works.
This is the nearly done code.
import java.util.Scanner; /* * To change this template, choose Tools | Templates * and open the template in the editor. */ import java.util.Scanner; // brings in library to read keyboard input //import java.lang.String; public class Lab1 { /** * @param args the command line arguments */ public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner usernum=new Scanner (System.in); //create object for keyboard input System.out.print("enter number of groups "); // ask user for a number int userInput = usernum.nextInt(); // takes keyboard input and put into variable userInput System.out.print("ASCII 1-127\n"); // print title for (int groups=0; groups<=127; groups=groups+1){ // loop until the counter is over userInput number String dec=Integer.toString(groups); //convert to dec String hex=Integer.toHexString(groups); //convert dec to hex char ascii=(char)groups; //convert dec to ascii System.out.print(dec+" "+hex+" "+ascii+" "); // print on screen if ((groups % userInput)==0) { System.out.print("\n"); } } System.out.print("\n"); } }
This is the nearly done code.What questions are left of this is a step that says that "each group of small columns will be 8 chars wide and properly aligned for values less than 6".What does that mean when you got something like this?.

This week marks an exciting milestone for Flash Player. On Tuesday, June 22, we announced the availability of the shipping version of Flash Player 10.1 for mobile. The final release has been posted to the Android Market. With Andy Rubin's announcement today about Android 2.2 ("Froyo") being released as open source, we expect select devices can be upgraded to Froyo and can install Flash Player. As I shared previously, this release was a major undertaking to get the same Flash Player to work across various smartphones and desktop operating systems and browsers. Through the generous contributions of our partners (read more about the Open Screen Project) and the extensive community feedback we received along the way, we've been able to further optimize and tune the technology. For instance, the Beta release feedback we received was instrumental in helping us further improve Flash Video performance.
You may have also heard the news on the launch of Motorola's new Droid X smartphone on the Verizon network this morning. It's an impressive device with a beautiful 4.3 inch high-res screen backed up by a 1 ghz processor and 8 GB of onboard memory and a 16 GB microSD card. Both users of the Droid X and the original Droid can get Flash Player 10.1 with the Android 2.2 update later this summer.
What I personally find most exciting are the opportunities ahead for developers. At today's Droid X launch in New York, Andy Rubin shared that 160,000 Android phones are sold daily. As more and more Android devices come to market, along with planned support for Flash Player on RIM's Blackberry devices, Nokia's Symbian and MeeGo devices, Palm's WebOS devices, and in the future Windows Phone devices, the momentum is clear. Its a truly an amazing time for Flash.

News Release 08-079
Aerospace Business Leader, Supreme Problem Solver, and Innovative Science Communications Programs Capture Public's Interest in Science
May 9, 2008
This material is available primarily for archival purposes. Telephone numbers or other contact information may be out of date; please see current contact information at media contacts.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) and its policy arm, the National Science Board (NSB), this week presented its annual awards, the Alan T. Waterman Award, the Vannevar Bush Award and the Public Service Award.
UCLA Professor of Mathematics Terence Tao was presented with the Alan T. Waterman Award. The annual Waterman Award recognizes an outstanding young researcher in any field of science or engineering supported by the NSF and carries a $500,000 grant for a three-year period. Often called a "supreme problem solver," and the "Mozart of Math," Tao and his work have had a tremendous impact across several mathematical areas. Tao spent a day at NSF, during which he conducted a seminar on his mathematical concepts and participated in an interview with NSF's Assistant Director for Math and the Physical Sciences Tony Chan, during which they describe Tao's research, his style of research and plans for future exploration, and larger questions with significance to understanding the scientific enterprise today. Excerpts from this interview are attached.
Esteemed businessman and aerospace engineer Norman Augustine was awarded the prestigious Vannevar Bush Medal, an award the NSB presents to an individual whom, through public service activities in science and technology, has made an outstanding "contribution toward the welfare of mankind and the nation." As Augustine was unable to accept the award in person, he pre-recorded a message last week during a conference that assessed progress on recommendations in "Rising Above the Gathering Storm," a report published two years ago by nonprofit, business and government experts in science and engineering, also known as, "Augustine Commission." In his message, Augustine addressed the NSB in its open plenary.
The NSB also presented two public service awards to organizations: SAE International, for which 2008 SAE President Thomas Ryan accepted the award and addressed the NSB; and the Bayer Corporation, for which Bayer President and CEO Attila Molnar accepted the award, and Mae Jemison, Bayer's national spokesperson for its award-winning program Making Science Make Sense, addressed the NSB's open plenary session. Jemison, the first African-American woman to travel in space, participated in an on-camera interview with Kathie Olsen, NSF's deputy director (excerpts from which will soon be posted on the NSF website).

MADISON, Wis. (Blugolds.com) - University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, the two-time defending league champion, is the preseason choice to secure the 2013 Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) women's basketball crown, according to the conference's head coaches and sports information directors.
The Pointers, who received 12 first-place votes in the poll, are coming off a 2011-12 campaign when they collected a share of the sixth WIAC regular-season championship in program history, won their fifth consecutive conference tournament crown and made their ninth NCAA Division III Championship appearance.
UW-Stevens Point is ranked seventh nationally in preseason polls conducted by D3hoops.com and the USA Today/ESPN Division III Top 25, which was released by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association. Senior Sam Barber is the reigning WIAC Player of the Year after leading the league with a .434 three-point field goal percentage and ranking second with 14.5 points per game. A season ago, the Pointers finished 10th in NCAA Division III in assist-turnover ratio (1.04) and 13th in field goal percentage (.439). Head Coach Shirley Egner enters her 24th season in charge of the program with a conference-best 433 victories.
UW-Whitewater, ranked eighth by D3hoops.com and 10th by USA Today/ESPN, picked up the remaining six first-place votes in the league projections and is slotted for second in the nine-team race. The Warhawks return four starters from a year ago, when they placed fifth in NCAA Division III with a .761 free throw shooting percentage and topped the WIAC in scoring offense (70.8), turnover margin (+5.52) and steals (12.48/game). Junior Kaitlyn Thill is third in the UW-Whitewater record book with 197 career steals, while senior Courtney Kumerow was fourth in the conference with a .533 field goal percentage last season. Head Coach Keri Carollo ranks second on school's all-time victories list with 181.
UW-Eau Claire shared last year's title with UW-Stevens Point to claim the 10th first-place trophy in program history. The Blugolds' 2012-13 roster includes 10 freshman, five sophomores, no juniors and three seniors. Senior Sarah Bingea was second on the team in 2011-12 with 76 assists and 21 steals, third with 5.4 rebounds per game and fourth with 9.5 points per game. Last year's squad also placed sixth in NCAA Division III with a 10.9 rebounding margin. UW-Eau Claire will play six of its first seven games at Zorn Arena, followed by seven straight away from home.
UW-River Falls senior Brittany Gregorich is the lone returning starter from last year's unit that led the WIAC and ranked seventh in NCAA Division III with an 11.0 rebounding margin. Gregorich has played 1,815 career minutes and has started the last 62 games for the Falcons - establishing career totals of 212 assists and 105 steals. UW-River Falls has recorded 495 wins in program history and is 37-10 at home in the last four years.
UW-La Crosse recorded its sixth winning season in the last seven years a season ago and welcomes 11 newcomers to the 2012-13 roster. In 2011-12, senior Briana Radowicz led the team with 59 assists and 51 steals, while placing second with 8.5 points per game. Senior Katie Ehlen topped the squad with 7.0 rebounds per contest and finished fourth with 7.2 points per game. The Eagles will play six of their first eight games on the road in 2012-13.
UW-Superior returns 13 letterwinners and three starters from last year's squad that made the conference tournament for the first time since 2004. The Yellowjackets were the third-highest scoring team in the league last season, averaging 64.7 points per contest. Senior Connie Urmanski is the school's all-time leader in three-pointers made with 157 and is 147 points shy of reaching 1,000 in her career.
UW-Platteville returns 84 percent of its points scored, 84 percent of its rebounding and 78 percent of its minutes played from the 2011-12 season. Senior Liz Lawinger finished in the top 10 in seven of 13 individual categories in the conference and led the team with 12.8 points per game. The Pioneers will begin the season with seven of eight games away from Bo Ryan Court, but play five of their last seven contests at home.
UW-Stout returns four of its top-five scorers and its top-nine rebounders from last season. Six Blue Devils who played in all 25 games last year are back, including senior Whitney Rawdon who topped the squad with 146 rebounds (5.8/game), 235 points (9.4/game) and 46 steals. The Blue Devils ranked second in the conference with 11.56 steals per contest during the 2011-12 campaign.
Brad Fischer begins his first season in charge at UW-Oshkosh after serving as an assistant coach at UW-Parkside for the previous five seasons. He was an assistant at UW-La Crosse from 2003-06. The Titans bring back seven of their top-eight scorers from last season, including seniors Katie Kitzke (13.8/game) and Megan Wenig (12.2/game). UW-Oshkosh made 34.8 percent of its three-pointers last year to lead the WIAC.

After one of the most thrilling finishes in the history of the IAAF World Cross Country Championships, Ethiopia's Gebre Gebremariam took the Senior Men's 12km title at Bisharat Golf Club here today. It marked a stunning comeback for the 24-year-old father-of-two whose string of World Cross individual medals from 2002 to 2004 had been followed by four fallow years.
Gebremariam, who is married to 2003 women's World Long Course champion, Worknesh Kidane, outpunched a group of 10 contenders coming to the final climb. With a combination of strength and speed, Gebremariam made his rivals, especially Kenya's Leonard Komon and Mathew Kisorio, pay the price of their eager front-running.
Calling on his experience, Gebremariam had been content to run a cautious race, keeping towards the back of the lead group for most of the way. But, when the critical moment arrived, he forgot about his results of recent years and kicked away, leaving Uganda's Moses Kipsiro to take the silver and Eritrea's Zersenay Tadese, the 2007 champion, in bronze medal position.
Although Kenya took their 22nd team title in 24 years, their failure to win an individual podium place will hurt until they have a chance to correct it at the 2010 World Cross Country Championships in Bydgoszcz. Komon led their winning team, taking 4th place, with Kisorio 6th, Mark Kiptoo 7th and Moses Mosop 11th. The key man here was Mosop as, with both Kenya and Ethiopia scoring 28 points, the outcome was decided on the fourth and last scorer and Mosop edged out Feyisa Lilesa (12th).
Gebremariam not only succeeds his compatriot, Kenenisa Bekele, as World champion, he is now right behind him as the second most successful man since the championships began in 1973. Two medals today takes his career total to 15 medals, moving up from third place ahead of Kenya's Paul Tergat (14 medals). Bekele, who was absent injured, has 27. On number of individual medals won, Gebremariam moves up from seventh to joint third with five, behind Bekele (13) and Tergat (6) but level with John Ngugi and Carlos Lopes.
It took a long time coming. After winning the Junior title in 2002, Gebremariam added to his collection the Senior Long Course bronze in 2003 and double silver – Long Course and Short Course – in 2004. But, in 2005, he failed to finish the Long Course race and was ninth over the Short Course. In 2006 he was 13th (Long) and 30th (Short), he missed 2007 and returned to place 17th in the Long Course in 2008.
So it was a triumph for perseverance for Gebremariam who also becomes only the second athlete after Bekele to have won World Cross individual titles at Junior and Senior level. For Kenya, the wait goes on for a first men's Senior champion since Tergat in 1999.
Kipsiro came tantalisingly close to giving Uganda its first World Cross champion but instead had to settle for becoming the country's third medallist – albeit its first at Senior level - after Boniface Kiprop two silvers (2003/2004) and Moses Kibet's bronze in the Juniors here.
Gebremariam's victory earned him US $30,000 as the individual champion, Kipsiro picked up US $15,000 for silver and Tadese, the 2007 champion who is preparing to make his marathon debut in the Flora London Marathon next month, US $10,000 for bronze.

James Winebrake could regard himself as a man on an island.
He leads a college that could be seen as an outsider in a university otherwise centered on technology and the sciences.
As dean of the College of Liberal Arts at Rochester Institute of Technology, however, Winebrake does not view either his college or the university in that way.
"We want to find ways to innovate the role of liberal arts in an otherwise technical education," he says.
He has done that, setting out to integrate the liberal arts college with other academic areas through a series of collaborations and innovative degree programs. The college has created minors and degree programs that have students working in both technology and the humanities.
Winebrake, 45, also focuses on increasing sponsored research efforts and diversity within the college, which includes 160 full-time faculty members and touches nearly all of roughly 17,850 students at the university.
Winebrake's background is in the sciences, but his passion always has been trying to tackle the big issues facing society. He grew up in Pennsylvania and graduated from Lafayette College in Easton, Pa., with a degree in physics, but he became more interested in problems such as homelessness and environmental conservation.
"I realized I loved sciences and technology but I always wanted to be working on economic, political and social-type dimensions," he says. "So after I graduated, I looked for programs that really served that purpose, and I entered a graduate program of technology and policy at MIT."
There Winebrake studied the intersection of technology, society and policy and how all were connected with the sciences. He developed a passion for energy, later earning his Ph.D. in energy management policy from the University of Pennsylvania.
Throughout his career Winebrake has continued to work on energy issues. He conducted research in alternative fuels and energy and environmental policy, including a project to study the impact of goods shipped globally.
He has done other work related to the impact of transportation on energy consumption. He collaborated with a researcher from Massachusetts Institute of Technology to study the environmental issues facing China's transportation sector and to explore how sustainable transportation technologies might emerge there.
Winebrake says he was lucky enough to find a job in this niche after graduation, working as an associate professor of public policy at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Va. He was part of an innovative science and technology program there that looked at these issues through a social lens.
While at JMU, Winebrake came across an opportunity at RIT. The university was advertising a chairmanship in public policy, and to Winebrake it seemed like a perfect fit.
"I thought how cool it was to have a program that's career-oriented and driven by (science, technology, engineering and mathematics)," he says. "It was really enticing to think about starting a public policy program at a university so invested in technology and technology futures."
So 11 years ago Winebrake came to RIT to serve as chairman of the department of science, technology and society-public policy, leading efforts to develop and expand curricular offerings at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
In January 2011 he was named dean of the College of Liberal Arts. In his new position he has the tasks of developing and implementing strategic plans and leading RIT's research and education initiatives in the humanities, social sciences and fine and performing arts.
"I think Jamie has come into his role as dean with a burst of energy and a real commitment to listening and shared governance," says Jeremy Haefner, provost and vice president of academic affairs at RIT. "He's shown a real willingness to roll up his sleeves and tackle the pressing issues."
After taking over, Winebrake gave structure to a college that had lacked it in the past, says Michael Vernarelli, professor and chairman of the economics department.
"In the past, things were sort of disorganized in the sense that things like deadlines and processes and procedures had been sort of ad hoc," he says.
Winebrake did not do this alone, Vernarelli notes. Instead he empowered department leaders to get involved and participate in the changes.
"He always tries to get people involved," Vernarelli says. "He's a very consensus-oriented guy."
Winebrake is able to reach a broad base of students in his position. Though RIT is largely seen as a technology-focused school, every technical degree requires students to take liberal arts courses.
As it offers these required courses, the college strives to meet the university's call for innovation in its course offerings, Winebrake says.
"Instead of just regular philosophy, students can take the philosophy of science," he says. "Instead of just ethics, they can take computer ethics or bioethics. I use the term 'technology-infused liberal arts' to describe the offerings."
But the college does more than just provide courses students need to complete degrees in other fields, Winebrake says. It has 18 different degree programs, from political science to museum studies-all with a technology twist.
"There's a whole panoply of degree students, so students are interested in political science, for instance, but want to come to RIT for its technology focus," Winebrake says. "We offer degrees in these fields that are technologically infused. In the political science department, students can learn about the politics of information technology or biotechnology."
Winebrake knows that for successful infusion of technology in other studies, the college needs the kind of interdisciplinary cooperation that sometimes is elusive in higher education.
"It's not always easy," he admits. "Academia traditionally has its disciplinary silos, but we work very hard to try to make connections, both formally and informally."
Formally, disciplines come together through curriculum projects to create interdisciplinary minors, Winebrake says, in things such as digital media literacy. This combines some classes in computing and new media and some in literature.
While these formal measures bring together professors and department leaders from different disciplines, more casual interactions also keep professors and researchers from different fields in touch.
"We have the faculty interact at research mixers, events where they can talk about different projects they're working on," Winebrake says.
It helps that the leadership cabinet at the university is dedicated to tearing down walls between disciplines, he adds. President William Destler has made it a priority to focus on innovation, which gives greater leeway to faculty while encouraging them to reach beyond their disciplines to address pressing social issues.
"The president and provost and deans and chairs are very open to this kind of interdisciplinary work, and it seems like the faculty at RIT are willing to take risks and given the freedom to do that," Winebrake says.
That atmosphere is important, given the issues RIT is trying to address, he adds.
"Some of the most pressing problems we face, like climate change and environmental concerns and water quality, these won't be solved by any one discipline alone," Winebrake says. "The core of these problems is economic and political and societal, and you have to look at all of those dimensions when you address them."
The doctoral program in sustainability is a perfect example of this cooperation, he says. The program is the first in the world to focus on sustainable production systems, aiming to advance research and education in alternative-energy development, sustainable production, sustainable mobility and eco-IT.
Students work with multidisciplinary faculty and researchers at the Golisano Institute for Sustainability.
"This program requires perspectives from a number of different disciplines," Winebrake says. "The dean of engineering is also proposing a new Ph.D. focused around problems, whether they be technological or communications or infrastructure or transportation. You'll see more colleges and universities taking this same approach in the future."
Future opportunities
Winebrake says he has seen a big change in the college over the past decade.
"Ten years or more ago, liberal arts didn't have many degrees," he says. "We were just providing a lot of general education courses for students there for other reasons, but there's been a dramatic shift since then. We're not only offering more degrees now, but we're also becoming quite active in research."
Research at RIT is a big deal-to the tune of $43.7 million in sponsored research funding in 2012-but liberal arts had never played a big part in it, Winebrake says. Now there is a greater emphasis on taking on projects and there are more programs to get seed money to researchers.
The college possesses some unique research strengths, he notes. One researcher in criminal justice has teamed up with the Rochester Police Department and another with expertise in Native American languages and issues has sought funding in that area.
"On the whole we've been more active in writing proposals, and one of our major thrusts over the next five years is to increase our funded research opportunities," he says. "It's request or be damned out there, a really tough atmosphere."
Winebrake leads a college unique in its size at RIT. Though the department has 750 full-time students in its majors, or some 5 percent of the student body, it has one of the largest faculties, with close to 160 full-time members.
"A lot of faculty members are teaching courses used by other degrees and programs," Winebrake notes. "But for students within our degrees, it's quite a good scenario. The student-to-faculty ratio is something like 5-to-1, so they get a lot of attention and good opportunities to work with faculty."
Within the college, Winebrake tries to foster a culture of accessibility, with doors always open for students or professors. He also strives to create a welcoming atmosphere for underrepresented and international students.
"Our college has the modern languages department and also the international studies degree, so there has always been a strong emphasis on international education," says Winebrake, noting that these efforts dovetail with RIT's efforts to boost international education.
The college also has competitive faculty, whether in seeking new collaborations or requesting grant funding, Haefner notes. This comes directly from Winebrake.
"He's a wonderful guy to work with and has a great sense of humor," Haefner says. "And he's also very competitive. At our annual deans' retreat we have a bocce ball tournament, and he was the winner. We know this year he's going to be looking to defend his title."
He enjoys other sporting pastimes as well. An avid fly fisherman, he goes after trout in Oatka Creek and recently made a fishing trip to the Delaware River.
Winebrake lives in Pittsford with his wife and their four children, whose activities he enjoys attending.
Within RIT, Winebrake looks forward to the future, encouraged by the niche the college has carved out.
"There's been a lot of concern about the future for small private liberal arts colleges, and some of these smaller and mid-tier schools are facing real financial problems," he says. "I find it a blessing that we have that smaller school embedded in a larger university with a technological focus. It allows us to do things that others can't and opens new opportunities for us."

Day 1-Kuala Lumpur
We landed and exited the airport into a pot of steaming veggies. Kuala Lumpur is hot. Kuala Lumpur is humid. First thing we noticed was the diversity of all types of Asian people from Indian to Japanese. As someone who was only used to seeing Korean people on every street, seeing dark asians, light asians, big-eyed asians, small-eyed asians ... it was an explosion of asians. It rained, and we walked and walked all over that city.
Days 2 and 3- Phuket Airport to Patong Beach
The airport is full of taxi drivers who are fighting with all their might to give you a ride to your destination. Not knowing what to do, we decided that a minibus ride to the beach was a decent enough price for us to say "yes, we will wait an hour for you to bargain with more foreigners to ride your minibus and then let you drive me to some shady travel agency in the middle of nowhere and then finally take us to our guest house." We were dropped off at Jinny, which was a quaint and semi-charming guesthouse in Patong, and we immediately made our way to the beach. The beach was pristine. It was there that I saw the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen in my life. Patong Beach reminded me of Jaco, Costa Rica. Many tourists, many bars, okay shopping, awesome beach. We must have brought a plague to the jelly fish because, after a day in a half, they started to float to the shore asking to be skewerd by the Thai beach chair managers/servers. One of the jelly fish brushed Kalan's leg. Nedless to say, we left looking for an even more pristine beach the next day.
Days 5 and 6-Kata Beach
Drink coconuts and beer on the beach-check
Follow crazy Europeans to explore an abandoned kayak where you can't touch the floor anymore-check
Drive a motorbike in another country-check
Scare Kalan on his first jet ski expirience- check
It was here where we spent the best time of our trip. Unforgettable.
Day 7- Bus from Phuket town to Bangkok
13 hours of shitty uncomfortable bus and the most disgusting bathrooms I've ever expirienced.
Day 8- Bangkok
We arrived at 4 in the morning and took a taxi to Khaosan Street where, we were told, had a lot of guesthouses. At dawn, Khaosan Street consists of drunk Europeans who drank away the night and are waiting for the sun to rise, Rhasta guys saying "hey, my friend" to other Rhasta guys, ladyboys, and prostitutes. 6am hit and we checked in at the nearest guesthouse and slept. When we woke up and decided to look around, Khaosan Street turned into a colorful array of street venders, taxi drivers, tuk tuk drivers, and people from all over the world and all walks of life. It was information overload. We took a tuk tuk ride all over the city and saw all kinds of buddhas (Standing, big, lucky, lying down, gold, stone, hiding, black, flakey, but surprisingly no fat buddha with a fat rubbable belly), suit shops and gem stores.
Day 9- Kachanaburi
The day before Kuchanburi we decided that we should go on an organized day trip and then head home. Our trip to Kuchanburi was long and fun. We were with 5 Koreans, which was ironic, and 3 Taiwanese people. Together we went to a cemetary (nothing like a cemetary in the morning), a war museum, the Bridge Over the River Kwai, the WWII Death Railway. Then we rode a bamboo raft down a river, went elephant trekking, and visited a waterfall. It was a busy day and it was incredibly fun. The next day we left Bangkok (first class woo woo), with our new tans, our massaged bodies, and our dreams for the future. And now, here in Barstow, Ca, operation find a job begins ...

Jasmine Waltz, the cocktail waitress, who, according to reports, hit Lindsay Lohan in the wee hours of Friday morning, has denied striking the actress.
"All I have to say is that disturbed little train wreck is delusional," Waltz said in a statement to Access Hollywood on Friday night.

U.S. & World
"I didn't hit her," Watlz added. "But I'd like too."
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, early Friday morning – the start of Lohan's 24th birthday – around the time she left Voyeur, a nightclub in Los Angeles, the actress Tweeted, "A waitress just hit me."
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Mug Shot Mania
Lohan did not Tweet the name of the waitress she claimed attacked her, but added that the woman, "Punched me for no reason."
Earlier in the day, however, sources inside the club told Access Hollywood a punch had occurred and it was over the waitress' ex, British Rugby star Danny Cipriani, who Lindsay has recently been seen with.
The sources went on to say that Voyeur is still deciding how to discipline the waitress – who has reportedly dated Ryan Seacrest, "Star Trek's" Chris Pine and singer Jesse McCartney – but that she will likely be fired.

The sources also noted that Lindsay arrived for her celebration with two friends and was seen table-hopping throughout the club.
A rep for Voyeur told Access, "We were happy to have Lindsay Lohan celebrating her birthday at Voyeur last night."
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Lindsay Lohan: The Early Years
The alleged punch marks the start of Lohan's birthday and July 4th weekend – which, according to a TMZ source close to Lindsay, will not be filled with partying.
The source claimed Lindsay doesn't have any major celebrations planned for the weekend — or the funds to pay for it.
"I mean there's not much you can do with a monitoring bracelet and no money," the source reportedly said.
Lindsay is due in court on Tuesday, where she will face Judge Marsha Revel, who previously ordered the 24-year-old actress to wear her SCRAM alcohol-monitoring device.

A new study suggests that by 2050, nearly all cars will drive themselves.
In the 1940s, kids could stand up in the bed of a pickup truck as their parents drove down the road; babies rode in their mothers' laps; and there were no seat belts, padded dashboards, crumple zones, rumble strips, air bags, Bott's dots, anti-lock brakes or traction control.
Perhaps it's because of all this modern safety equipment that traffic deaths have fallen to the lowest rate since the 1940s in most states, even though speeds are faster and traffic much more tangled.
But automobiles and their makers have gone even further. They want to protect themselves from drivers who speed, drink, text, follow too close, and swerve in and out of lanes. So they've come up with the idea of a car that drives itself and keeps the owner away from the controls -- cars that will dominate our roadways by 2050, according to a study by IHS Automotive. The path to domination is clear, according to the study: Self-driving auto sales will jump from 230,000 in 2025 to 11.8 million per year in 2035, and by 2050 nearly all cars will drive themselves.
These cars gently tells the occupant to sit back, relax, watch a movie and "leave the driving to us" -- that slogan from the yesteryear of Greyhound buses and mass-transit.
"Us," in this case, is a variety of technologies that keep the car on the road, under the speed limit, and away from the bumper of the car in front. "Us" includes GPS satellite navigation, sensors, radar, blind spot alerts and so on.
Google tried the idea first. Then, the company got permission to self-drive in California, Nevada, Florida and Michigan. In most legislation, humans must still be behind the wheel, but that's just window dressing: Technology is in the driver's seat.
And now the plot to turn drivers into passengers has reached Washington, which only this month began deliberations that may require new cars to install anti-collision technology -- vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) technology that's a sort of social network for cars so they can chat about road conditions and their positioning, and avoid collisions.
According to ABC News, the Government Accountability Office said recently that V2V could prevent as many as 76 percent of potential multi-vehicle collisions, and that in 2011, there were 5.3 million car crashes, injuring 2.2 million people and killing 32,000. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says it will announce a decision within a few weeks.

Feds reportedly probing trading of Carl Icahn, Billy Walters and Phil Mickelson
Federal investigators are pursuing a major insider-trading probe involving finance, gambling and sports, examining the trading of investor Carl Icahn, golfer Phil Mickelson and Las Vegas bettor William "Billy" Walters.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Securities and Exchange Commission are examining whether Mr. Mickelson and Mr. Walters traded illicitly on nonpublic information from Mr. Icahn about his investments in public companies, people briefed on the probe said.
Investigators are examining whether over the past three years Mr. Icahn tipped Mr. Walters—famous in Las Vegas for his sports-betting acumen—about potentially market-moving investments by Mr. Icahn's company.
The FBI and SEC are examining whether Mr. Walters on at least one occasion passed a tip on to Mr. Mickelson, these people said, and are studying the two men's trading patterns.

Corey Haim was not approached by VH1's "Celebrity Rehab" during the last few weeks of his life, contrary to online reports, Access Hollywood has learned.
Instead, the star was reached out to by "Celebrity Fit Club," an offer he declined.
According to Corey's agent, Mark Heaslip, the star did have reality plans — he had signed on for a new show about a life coach that would bring his career back. The actor also had other film projects in the works, including a picture he was set to direct.
Corey was pronounced dead at 2:15 AM on Wednesday at St. Joseph's Medical Center in Burbank, Calif., after a few days of flu-like symptoms.
Authorities found four prescription drug bottles inside the apartment he shared with his mother, but no illegal drugs, according to LA County Coroner's Office Assistant Chief Ed Winter. The star, who was 38, had a history of drug use and rehab attendance but no such incidents in recent years.

The winter rains have arrived, the hills have turned green again, and it's a beautiful time of year to explore your regional parks — between storms, of course.
Though it's colder and sometimes wetter, winter brings fresh air, running streams, migrating birds and even some early-season wildflowers.
Here are a few tips to help keep your regional park winter safari safe and enjoyable:
Ardenwood: Programs showcasing the park's overwintering butterflies continue at Ardenwood Historic Farm in Fremont.
For "Marvelous Monarchs," meet at the park's granary to hear a talk about the butterflies' life cycle, make a butterfly craft to take home, then walk to the eucalyptus grove to see the butterflies in "person." The program is from 11 a.m. to noon this Saturday and Sunday and Dec. 22, 23, 29 and 30. And there are walks from the granary to the grove from 1:30 to 2:15 on those same dates.
Leaders are Chris Garcia, Jenna Scimeca and other Ardenwood naturalist staff. Heavy rain cancels. Ardenwood is located at 34600 Ardenwood Blvd., just north of Highway 84 in Fremont. For information on entry fees, call 510-544-2797. Parking is free.
BLACK DIAMOND: Although the underground mine tours won't begin again until March, there's still a lot to see and do at Black Diamond Mines Regional Preserve in Antioch.
White and pink manzanita and Christmasberry shrubs adorn the park's hills at this time of year. Naturalist Bob Kanagaki will lead a hike to view these and other seasonal colors from 9:30 to 11 a.m. Saturday.
The hike is free of charge, though Black Diamond Mines has a parking fee of $5 per vehicle when the kiosk is attended. Meet Bob at the park's innermost parking lot at the end of Somersville Road, five miles south of Highway 4. For information, call 888-327-2757, ext. 2750. If it's raining, the hike is canceled.
SOLSTICE HIKE: The winter solstice, the shortest day of the year, is generally considered to be the start of that season. This year it's Dec. 21. Naturalist "Trail Gail" Broesder will celebrate it with an early morning hike from 6:15 to 8:15 a.m. that day, from Tilden's Environmental Education Center to the top of Wildcat Peak to catch the sunrise. The hike is for ages 10 and older and free of charge; bring your own coffee. For more information, call the center at 510-544-2233.
TILDEN: The Over-the-Hills Gang, that informal, intrepid group of hikers ages 55 and older, will explore the Tilden Nature Area in Berkeley on a walk from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., led by Tilden supervising naturalist Dave Zuckermann. For information, call 510-544-2233.
REDWOOD REGIONAL: For the younger set, naturalist Sara Fetterley will lead a free "Hike for Tykes" from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, starting at the Skyline Gate entrance to Redwood Regional Park in Oakland. It's on Skyline Boulevard just south of Evergreen Avenue.
Never strenuous, the tyke hikes are designed for young children accompanied by parents. Strollers are not recommended. For more information, call 510-544-3187.
EASTSHORE: Bird-watching enthusiasts will enjoy a walk from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday at the Eastshore State Park, led by naturalist Anthony Fisher. Meet at the Seabreeze Market lot at the foot of University Avenue in Berkeley. The program is free. For information, call 510-544-2233.
INVASION ABATEMENT: French broom is an introduced plant that crowds out native species. Volunteers are needed for a work session at 9 a.m. Sunday to help sweep the broom from Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve in the Oakland Hills.
If you're willing, meet at the Sibley entrance on Skyline Boulevard just south of the intersection with Grizzly Peak Boulevard. Tools will be provided. For information, call 510-544-3111.

Hi. I am new to this site and need to vent. Has anyone experienced physicians who JUST DON'T CARE? My brother was injured in Feb 2016. He has been in a SNF for about 4 months... the rest of the time he has been in the hospital or an LTAC. I am going to bring him home to care for him after released from this current hospitalization. It seems to me they are forcing hospice, which he does not want and as his POA, I will fight until the end. The docs, ombudsman, SW are all telling lies... for instance the ombudsman went to visit and she said she was speaking with him. When my sister asked how she understood him... did they put the passie muir valve in, her reply was .... No. He put his hand up to cover the trach so he could talk.......LIE........he moves arms VERY LITTLE and he is sooooo contracted there is no way possible unless her turned to Houdini in the last few days. His attending at this hospitalization said the infectious disease doctor stopped all antibiotics.. and I was FURIOUS.. I asked him to start them. He told me he cannot go above the ID doc. Being a nurse, that is a lie. He is either afraid to do so or he lacks confidence and is afraid of prescribing meds on his own. He told me they were all contaminants. Have you heard of cultures being contaminated in the urine, in the sputum, in the blood, and in the wound SIMULTANEOUSLY??? I told him the hospital had better check their protocol for obtaining cultures if they are all contaminated. And the wounds... well that is another story. Ok, so 16 months post injury... SEVERELY contracted. No one placed his splints anywhere anytime except when I went. When questioned doc about Baclofen pump... no concrete answer or advice. Once I did research on it myself and found a pain management physician at UPMC in Pittsburgh, who was great, went for consult. Well, it was too late to place a baclofen pump b/c now he has pressure ulcers and would not be able to find any surgeon willing to place that d/t infection risk.. understandable. But why in the world would a practitioner not take it upon themselves to suggest something??? They don't care... The PM doc did do phenol injections and botox in lower extremities/pelvic area and wow...... what an improvement. He went from 155 degree contractures with his knees being in his face to about 45 degrees. Now I have to wait until the end of July to take him back in to do the upper extremities. His arms are so contracted you cannot even get a BP cuff on them without him being in severe pain.
the wounds... right hip, left hip, coccyx..... left hip was to the bone... right hip is now 19 x 12 cm.....Really? No wound VAC offered during early stages... no FLAP surgery offered... no NOTHING. Being a nurse, I know a lot in the medical field but not having been familiar with SCIs, it amazes me how much I don't know.
sepsis - He was brought to the ER on Wednesday with seizures and totally out of it. SOOO sick. SOOO sickening and heartbreaking to see him like that. Had infections in the past that were not treated completely every time... and like I said, this time they did not want to treat it at all UNTIL I threatened them with a lawsuit should it lead to his demise and then requested a transfer to the Cleveland Clinic. What do they do before even calling the clinic... you got it... started antibiotics.
This all transpired since Wednesday. The rest of the time, from Feb 2016 until now??? I could write a book. Our healthcare is the most expensive it has ever been and the worst care that has ever been. What a shame.
I'm jumping all around in this message, venting.. the first thing that comes to my mind because I am so angry with his medical providers... as I sit and patiently wait for 2 am to head to the Cleveland Clinic so that I can say I did all I could for him with the best docs I could find and people that won't lie to me. PHEWWW that felt good. Thanks, and if anyone can share any stories so that I know no all physicians are the same, please do. BTW, I'm halfway between the pittsburgh steelers and the cleveland browns.... in the armpit of it all.

Microsoft acquisition of Netscape/AOL patents
April 12, 2012 1 Comment
As reported in the news this week, Microsoft acquired some 800 patents from AOL for a billion dollars. A few people have asked what this means for Mozilla. At present, I don't believe that the acquisition poses an immediate danger to Mozilla.
There are many possible motivations for the acquisition including reducing exposure, preventing others from obtaining the patents, increasing your portfolio size and quality, using them for cross-licensing, or even patent license programs. We'll never know for sure, but viewing this acquisition in the broader context of the patent battle playing out across the tech sector, it makes sense for strategic reasons.
Certainly Google, Apple, and Microsoft are key competitors in this battle, and Google recently increased its portfolio size dramatically with the acquisition of 17,000 Motorola patents. Other players hold thousands of patents as well, topped out by IBM with 6,000+ new US patents in 2011 alone. Obtaining a huge chunk of patents and licenses in one move, saving time along the way, makes sense for broader reasons, and in this context it is hard to imagine it's driven by anything related to Mozilla. Frankly, there are easier ways to influence the market without near the attention or the cost.
In this particular case, it would seem that the exposure is even lower because portions of the Mozilla code base are already licensed under some set of these patents. Early code contributions from Netscape to the Mozilla project came with patent licenses from Netscape/AOL via the Mozilla Public License. These licenses are still in play. For example, the first granted Netscape patent was for HTTPS as I recall. To the extent this is implemented in the Firefox browser or Thunderbird code bases by Netscape/AOL (and subsequently the Mozilla code base) patent grants would flow with the code under the MPL. The express MPL patent grant, which didn't exist in other open source license at the time, finally sees its day.
Overall, while this acquisition is certainly surreal for many Mozilla folks that worked at Netscape including those who are inventors for some of the patents, I don't view this as a threatening move in and of itself. Patent holders like Microsoft and Google are generally considered more predictable, subject to market and ecosystem pressures, and more often than not, targets of patent litigation themselves. That being said, Yahoo did sue Facebook, so conventional wisdom may no longer apply these days.
I believe the real threat is what ultimately happens with the patents. If Microsoft maintains ownership of the patents, on the margins, it is better than having them sold off piecemeal to non-practicing entities, often called IP trolls. If they end up in the wild, it's not a good thing. We will need to watch this carefully.
It would be great to see Microsoft express its intentions in this regard or put some protections around the portfolio if it transfers the patents. This could alleviate many of the concerns raised by the transaction.

A lot of us have heard the science about the temporal lobe and how that section of the brain is where (for lack of a science-y term) religion lives. We've read about the god helmet, and about how Joan of Arc could have been an epileptic. We've watched studies on you tube about how over active temporal lobes can cause "religious types of experiences." It's definitely still being studied but all the research I've ever come across all seems to be heading in one direction. Scientists focus on overactive temporal lobes as a possible causation of religious behavior. I have exactly the opposite question.
Could an under-active temporal lobe (one who's electrical firings is lower in ratio to someone with an average brain) lead to a tendency towards atheism?
I have Type 4 ADHD. My temporal lobe is deficient. I've been secular/atheistic all my life. I am seriously interested in the percentage of atheists who have ADHD.
Views: 797
I am one, but would that be affecting group bonding issues, or just a lack of imagining a projected image of a personal god?
I don't know. I must have the over active temporal lobe because I was very religious. I was born a 5th generation Seventh-day Adventist. I bought it hook, line, sinker. I loved it. I wanted to be a minister. I have come to Atheism slowly through education. I am now a proud and absolute atheist. I try to temper my drive to pound my views on other people's heads, because I don't want to be like my dad who is crazy religious with websites, etc. His temporal lobe is one fire! :) So here I am, religious nut turned atheist. Go figure.

Academy U7 - U12 Program
The U7 through U12 Academy Program is an alternative to the traditional recreational and select (traveling) team programs and offers the opportunity for advanced development of the young soccer player. This program is a league for boys and girls ages 6-12 years old. The focus of this league will be participation and development in a fun and rewarding environment, within a competitive arena, while emphasizing proper skills acquisition and training techniques.
The Academy follows a training curriculum that is fun while allowing for optimum player development. The goal of this program is youth player development that follows guidelines and recommendations put forth by the Tennessee State Soccer Association (TSSA) and the United States Soccer Federation. All teams are trained by appropriately licensed, professional Club coaches to provide the players with the best possible foundation of skills and knowledge of the game.
The players will be selected through an evaluation process then placed in a pool of players for practice, when the age group has large numbers, there may be two to four pools of players for practice, with players of similar abilities in each pool. Throughout the season, games will be played against other Tennessee Soccer Club Academy teams and against other local clubs' Academy teams. Players within the teams may be rotated and exchanged from team to team throughout the season.
Team training occurs twice weekly with games on weekends. Additional training opportunities along with speed, strength and agility training will be available and encouraged. The Academy teams will participate in 2-3 tournaments per season.
Academy soccer emphasizes maximum development of individual skills and provides the opportunity to apply those skills in a competitive environment, including intramurals, friendly play and tournament competition. Young players with commitment, skills and attitude will find Academy Soccer to be a good introduction to D1, D2 and D3 play. Acceptance to the Tennessee Soccer Club program is based on player evaluations, which take place during tryouts each spring.
Tennessee Soccer Club expects players who represent the club to maintain high standards of personal behavior both on and off the field. We place great importance on academics and expect players to organize their activities to accommodate both schoolwork and soccer at high levels of achievement. We look to parents to ensure that their Tennessee Soccer Club players reach games and practices on time, attend whenever possible with a positive attitude, and participate in the running of the Club in some capacity.
Academy U6 program
Tennessee Soccer Club will also offer an Under 6 (U6) training program. These players will also be assessed at the tryout session and invited to participate in a fun and developmental training environment. This program will be run by TSC professional staff, providing a great learning environment while allowing the U6 player to remain on his or her recreation team.
Age Group
The U.S. Youth Soccer Association groups players into competitive age groups. Age groups will be based on a player's birth year.
Playing Season
Competitive soccer teams play for two seasons, fall and spring, which make up one seasonal year. For Academy players, this comprises the fall and the spring season. Additional opportunities for indoor play are available in the Winter months, and players are encouraged to take advantage of those opportunities.
Tennessee Soccer Club Pool System
Academy (U7 - U12) pool system allows for a flexible practice environment, and the opportunity for coaches to evaluate players in various practice environments, and a flexibility in roster selection which allows for better learning opportunities on a week to week basis. The pool system also allows for roster adjustments to made ensuring that the appropriate level of competition is acheived.
Because practices are where much of the learning and development take place, participants must attend both practices/week. Occasionally, conflicts arise in which the participant cannot attend a practice. Other activities (music lessons, other sports, homework, vacations, etc.) should be considered before committing to competitive programs to avoid significant interruption of the required practice and game schedule.
By accepting a place on an Academy roster, a player commits to play the full seasonal year, June through May. For Academy players, this comprises the fall and the spring season.
Evaluations for Academy teams are held according to the Tennessee State Soccer Association calendar, usually in late May, each year for the coming soccer seasonal year. Recreational players can join Tennessee Soccer Club at any time during the year. As long as you are not registered with another Academy club you are free to tryout for Tennessee Soccer Club. Players registered with another travel club through TSSA must obtain a release from their current club before any discussions about playing opportunities can be held.
During the tryout period, you will be asked for information as to age and past experience in order to place your child in the correct age group for evaluation, this may be done during the online registration process also. At tryouts your child will be evaluated by the coaching staff in various group activities. The staff will assess current skill level, desire and potential ability. This criterion is evaluated along with consideration as to how and where that individual's ability will best fit in order to foster continued learning, improvement and further a competitively challenged environment. Once this is determined over the course of the tryouts, your child may be offered a position with the Academy. You will have 14 days to consider that position with the club and make the appropriate steps for acceptance.
Academy (U9 - U12) teams may participate in some local select tournaments (2-3 per season) and on occasion may require extended travel outside of the immediate area.
Tournaments are not included in the registration fee. Teams must register according to the procedures published by the hosting clubs and on the dates specified.

It just got to the point where the programs on the TV in the evening where deadly boring. You can only jog so much without losing your sanity and I needed some sort of diversion from the pressures at work; an escape of some sort, or excitement that did not involve huge expenditures of money or a huge investment of my time.
That was when my son suggested I try some of his games attached to his computer. Shooting the characters over different terrains was not my thing. Then I went online and looked around and found what I had been looking for.
I came across Flight Simulation games. I had messed around with one of these games about ten years ago and had good fun with it back then, but boy have things moved on since then. There was an accurate terrain, to fly over (or into), a big selection of aircraft, (in the old days I had a choice of three) planetary alignment and detailed features such as car headlights etc. It makes a big change to be able to be involved with a program and not feel you are too slow or not quick enough on the uptake to know the little tricks required to get you to the next 'level'.
One thing I did not take into account was the family involvement. We ended up having 'family competitions' with typical 'bendy' family rules and a good time was had for us as a group and as individuals.
The layout of the instruments impressed my wife and she now has a pretty good idea of how things have been when we have taken trips abroad. The cloud presence is also realistic and of course the thrill of flying over well known landmarks or even your own house is awesome.
Of course the big thrill is to take from a particular airport and fly off to a new destination, there are hundreds of airports to choose from in these games. There are no restrictions to types of aircraft. Jet, propeller, old, new, helicopters and just about anything you could wish for. Shame I could not play with this in the office.
The real thing about it is the escape into a world of adventure right in your own house at minimal cost and time investment. The World of Flight Simulation has opened new doors for me and decreased my stress levels I hope it could do the same for you. If your circumstances were similar to mine.
