Could I use only the 120V wall charger, if I drive 25 miles per day?
Could I use only the 120V wall charger, if I drive 25 miles per day?
Well 25 miles would require 8+ hours to recharge. If you have enough time, then you'll be alright.
Presumably you'd start with a full battery, so even if you run a slight deficit during the work week, you'd have no problem getting back to a full charge on weekends. You'd be fine just using 50% capacity and doing overnight charges.
I would imagine that the weekend is where she would want to drive MORE rather than having it plugged in all day/night...
she = he/she
I was using the first month 120 V only and I was driving 20-25 miles a day during the week. If you are 10+ hours at home then that should not be a problem. However the MS makes you drive more because it so much fun. See if you have public charger nearby where you could hang out read a book or similar. ( I had a free city J1772 about 3 miles away in walking distance to my favorite shopping center, but never I used it )
The question may (or may not) indicate a misconception:
"I'm thinking about getting a Tesla, but I rent, so I don't want to install a charger."
You do not have to install a charger. The charger is in the car. You only need to install a 240 volt 50 ampere receptacle for your car to plug into. Depending on the capacity of your current electrical box, and how far it is from where you need to receptacle to charge the car, You could probably do it yourself (if you knew what you were doing) for parts costing at most perhaps $50-80 (the box, the NEMA 14-50 receptical, some 6 gauge wire, a 50 amp breaker, and some joint compound and tape to repair the wall after you run the line).
An electrician who does not want to rip you off can probably do it in an hour or so at a total cost of a couple of hundred dollars.
I have a similar situation - work from home several days a week. For now I've chosen NOT to put in higher-amp socket in my garage as I just don't need it. I'm charged up to 100% (well, 80% technically) each morning with a standard 110/10-amp plug.
As a landlord-owner, I would definitely NOT want a tenant installing a 240V 50A circuit on my property to charge his/her EV, especially if an electrician didn't do it and it didn't have proper permits, etc. If a fire broke out, regardless of cause, it's highly likely insurance would not cover any losses. OTOH, if a tenant asked permission and went the proper route as I described -and- my insurance company didn't object, I wouldn't have a problem.
That said, I also believe 120V might suffice if circumstances were as @cloroxbb, @Bighorn and @minewman stated.
@TI Sailor Thank you for your informative post. We're also renting and planning to get an electrician to first check out our breaker box and electrical situation and second install a NEMA 14-50 outlet for us, with our landlord's approval of course. A properly installed NEMA 14-50 might actually increase the value of the rental property, assuming electric vehicles become more popular in coming years.
I don't understand why anyone would buy a $100k car to save ONE gallon of gas per day. But then I don't understand nuclear physics, either.
You assume the purpose is the savings. What if it's just the joy of use and possession?
@ letmeehan I drive mine around 40 miles every day and charge it at home every night on a 110v. It works fine. Every morning the car has a full charge (12 hours charging). In the cases that I end up driving more than 40 miles in one day, I make up for it by charging it more time on weekends.
If you drove around 45-50 miles or more every single day, I would then recommend to get the 240v, that would be to much for a 110v.
L8MDL Most of us like the car for the technology, the luxurious feel, the ridiculous speed, top of the line handling, beautiful design, and last but not least, concern for the environment (like you called it, saving one gallon of gas every day.)
On that last one alone, I was spending $400/month on gas and instead I'm now paying $40/month in electricity. That's a pretty decent savings that helps to make this car a lot more affordable than it seems.
That said, I suspect your question wasn't really out of curiosity, it sounds more like you're trying to provoke and create some noise on this forum.
Brian - how much "enjoyment" can you get from a 25 mile drive each day. Must live a really slow life...
Tomas - if you're spending $400+ on gas you are certainly driving more than 20 minutes a day!
L8MDL, how many miles do you have on your model S ?
You don't need to install a charger. The car has one on board. Analyze your usage as described above. One suggestion not mentioned so far. Plug it in to 120V at your destination.
Mel - I drive a Vette, hence the moniker. Trying to justify a Tesla but right now the nearest SuperCharger is over 600 miles away, making it a "no deal" for my current needs. Love the conversations here, though!
L8MDL, are you thinking of buying the 2014 corvette. I have a 2006 and might trade for the new model. I really prefer to drive my Tesla, but I have always had a corvette.

You Don't Have to Take Our Word for It!
Here's what some of our satisfied customers have to say about Lunar Low Automotive:
I could not be happier with my experience at Lunar Low. It was great taking my car to a shop I could trust and the cost was a fraction of the quote I had gotten at another shop. I would not hesitate to take my car back to David and Wayne. As a female it is great to have a place I can trust!!!Ronda H.
I brought my Acura TSX to get the exterior waxed. The employees down at Lunar Low Automotive took extra special care of my car and now it's shinier than the day I bought it. They even spent extra attention to detail and we're able to get door dings out of my doors from other cars opening their car doors into mine. They even made my exhaust pipes shine again! Would definitely refer their quality of work to anyone I know!Brian P.
Took my Jeep to these guys on a recommendation from a friend and after 2 visits (for separate issues), my jeep is on the road again with no issues that I can find. I had my transfer case replaced, front differential rebuilt and an axle bearing replaced. They didn't promise more than they could deliver and delivered on what they "promised" and they're very competitively priced. I would not think twice to take my jeep there for repairs. Thanks Lunar Low for a job well done.Matt J.
Took my 1998 TJ (Jeff) to Lunar Low because the rear end needed work. Ended up rebuilding the rear end, upgrading to 4.10 gears, and coming across more problems than we originally realized. I got Jeff back the other day and it's like a whole new Jeep!! Pricing was fair and I highly recommend these guys for all your automotive needs!!Holly M.
Fiest of all..great group of guys at Lunar Low!! As often happens when it's a female taking in her car she gets treated like she is clueless!! Not these guys!! Very respectful and friendly! Secondly..I have a 2012 Chrysler 200 and everything was still factory on it. I needed brakes..rotars..tires..oil change and wipers. Total price was fantastic and car was just like the day I drove it off the lot!! I will be recommending Lunar Low to all my friends! Thank you for everything!!!Shawn S.
Had air conditioner problem with our 2011 Equinox. Second time with problem. Another repair shop replaced complete system(suppossedly) only 1 1/2 years ago. Compressor was bad again. Thanks to Wayne we were able to get a new one put in for half the price we were charged before. Thanks to everyone for their help and I believe this will be my shop to go to from now on. Again thanks for your help.John M.
Honest and fair mechanics can be tough to come by in this town and I'd heard nothing but great things about this place. So when my girlfriend started having issues with her SUV, I told her to bring it by. Best choice we could have made. They quickly, and properly, diagnosed and repaired the problem.They didn't try to tack on any unnecessary repairs or extra cost. Not only that, but their prices are great!Chris B.
Knowledgeable, and fairly priced. I don't take my YJ anywhere else. If I can't do it, they can. Extremely helpful guys, can't say enough about them.Stretch A.
I took my 08 Wrangler to them when it was having issues with wandering all over the road and having to fight it to drive a straight line. I knew it was going to have some serious issues and have a massive price tag because of its age and the height of the lift that I?d put on it, but I didn?t expect the guys in this shop to be as helpful and truthful as they were. They found the best prices for the parts that were needed, and they even went out of their way to physically show me what was wrong with my vehicle instead of just listing off all the problems without explaining the situation. I?ve never had a better experience with any other shop anywhere, and I won?t hesitate to bring my vehicle back to them for anything from a minor oil change to extreme repairs. There?s no one else I?d trust as much as these folks and certainly nobody else I?ll be going to.Leslie C.
Everyone is so nice, very accommodating and their prices are so reasonable! I highly recommend Lunar Low!!!Patricia W.
These guys are always so honest and helpful. I even got assistance when they were busy trying to fix their own shop from the hurricane. always honest. always fair. always incredibly kind. I cannot recommend them enough. They have fixed my tires, done my inspection, fixed my AC (when nissan couldnt!) and helped me when they werent even technically open. Support local honest and fair mechanics. They are amazing!Amber B.
They listen to the vision I had in mind for my tacoma and spent time helping me understanding the pros and cons and making the right choices. They ordered the tires, rims and lift kit and had them in shop in just a few days. They were able to work with my schedule to get the job done all the while staying in contact throughout the whole experience. I was blown away with how great the truck turned out and really felt confident with David and Wayne getting it right. I would HIGHLY recommended Lunar low automotive for your vehicle needs, especially off road. They truly are a one stop shop experience with the ability to order and install/tune the parts. Thanks so much David, Wayne and your team and look forward to doing more business in the future.Shane M.
What an amazing, and dedicated crew that spent more time than they actually had to to make sure my family and I were riding safe! This crew and company is honest and will tell you like it is without breaking the bank. I highly recommend lunar low!Christina B.
I was very impressed with my first trip there. They were very honest and pricing was reasonable. They even offered to stay open late on a Friday for me after I had an unrelated ignition issue when I returned to work after my lunch hour- above and beyond. Thank you again!Julie T.
I took my car here about a week ago for a new starter....Not only was the customer service exceptional but David was able to find the part for a cheaper price (which saved me money) AND they stayed passed closing just so I could have my car the next day! Can't say enough about Wayne and David!!! This is THE GO TO place for your automotive needs! Thanks guys!Jaye J.
This is by far the best priced with the most most honest auto mechanics I have ever dealt with!! I highly recommend anyone with any auto problem to go here first !! You will not be sorry!! They rock!!!at such a fair and honest price!! Thank you Rusty and Karen Bowers for the recommendation!!!Susan Y.
David and Wayne saved me over $3,000 by going the extra mile and checking things out where 3 other mechanics were quick to tell me I needed a new engine or head gasket....my fix was a simple part that was replaced with an oil change. They are now my and my family's mechanics for life!Shari U.
These guys are the most trustworthy mechanics I had meet in over 30 years. They gave a detailed quote on repairs and a very fair price. This will be me and my family's preferred garage going forward. Thank you guys for a job WELL DONE.Charles W.
After being referred to Lunar Low by a friend, we brought our vehicle in to have a few issues checked out. We were impressed with their honesty and speed at resolving the issues our suv was having. They are our go to shop now for everything from tires to inspections and any vehicle maintenance related. We highly recommend this place to all our friends now.Felicia P.


text: Carl 22 Report post Posted November 29, 2011 The song title is kind of alarming, but what they performed wasn't nearly as nasty as it sounds, although Ska-Punk is an interesting choice. My question: How do you "severely reprimand" The Roots? GOP Presidential candidate Michele Bachmann received an apology from an NBC executive after an off-color song was played during her appearance on Jimmy Fallon's "Late Night," her spokeswoman said late Wednesday. The Minnesota congresswoman received a personal letter from NBC's vice president for late night programming, Doug Vaughan, a day after she appeared on the show. As Bachmann walked onstage, the show's band had played a snippet of a 1985 Fishbone song entitled "Lyin' Ass Bitch." Vaughan wrote that the incident was "not only unfortunate but also unacceptable," Bachmann spokeswoman Alice Stewart told The Associated Press. She said Vaughn offered his sincerest apologies and said the band had been "severely reprimanded." Fallon also apologized to Bachmann when they spoke earlier Wednesday, she said. He'd tweeted earlier, saying he was "so sorry about the intro mess." "He was extremely nice and friendly and offered his apology, and she accepted it," Stewart said, adding that the comedian said he was unaware the band planned to play the song. "It's just unfortunate that someone had to do something so disrespectful." Bachmann lashed out earlier Wednesday at NBC for not apologizing or taking immediate disciplinary action. In her first comments on the flap, Bachmann said on the Fox News Channel that the Fallon show band displayed sexism and bias by playing the song. "This is clearly a form of bias on the part of the Hollywood entertainment elite," Bachmann said. She added, "This wouldn't be tolerated if this was Michelle Obama. It shouldn't be tolerated if it's a conservative woman either." She went further on a national radio conservative radio show hosted by Michael Medved, calling the incident "inappropriate, outrageous and disrespectful." On Fox, Bachmann expressed surprise that she's heard nothing from the TV network. She suggested that discipline for the show's band, The Roots, was in order. She said she believed Fallon's comments to be sincere. One of Bachmann's congressional colleagues, New York Democrat Nita Lowey, had called on NBC to apologize for its "insulting and inappropriate" treatment of its guest. An NBC spokeswoman didn't return a phone message from The Associated Press. The Roots' bandleader, Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson, has said the song was a "tongue-in-cheek and spur-of-the-moment decision." Bachmann, who is lagging in presidential polls, has spent the week promoting her new autobiography in national television interviews. http://www.tvnewscheck.com/article/2011/11/28/55635/nbc-apologizes-to-mi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The US should try to amend the rules of membership for key international organizations so that Taiwan can join them, a new study by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) says.
Written by CSIS Asia expert Bonnie Glaser, the 50-page report Taiwan's Quest for Greater Participation in the International Community makes a series of wide-ranging recommendations.
It also reveals that a senior People's Republic of China (PRC) official told a visiting CSIS delegation three months ago that China prefers to find a "comprehensive solution" to the issue of Taiwan's international space.
"One precondition is that Taipei must express or demonstrate through concrete actions that Taiwan adheres to 'one China,'" the report says.
The official told CSIS: "If we can feel [Taiwan's] sincerity on this issue then giving Taiwan international space can be good for reunification."
The report says that it "remains unclear" what Taiwan has to do to show sincerity and Beijing "reserves the right" to determine whether or not Taipei has done so.
It says that Beijing recognizes that blocking Taiwan's international space could further weaken President Ma Ying-jeou's (馬英九) popularity at home and reduce domestic support for his policy of improving cross-strait relations.
Moreover, China wants to win the hearts and minds of the people of Taiwan, the majority of whom attach great importance to the issue of international space, it says.
The US should, in consultation with the PRC and other countries, seek to revise or amend the charters or rules of membership for key international organizations so that Taiwan can join in some capacity without raising sovereignty matters, Glaser says.
"Given their respective influential statuses within international organizations, the US and China have significant leverage to execute such changes," she says.
In addition, Glaser says the US should help Taiwan to make the necessary structural adjustments so it can make gains toward Trans-Pacific Partnership standards. It should support Taiwan's expanded role in organizations in which it is already a party, and emphasize to Beijing that it hurts its own goals with Taiwan by its "begrudging approach" to the issue of Taiwan's international space.
China should provide greater support for Taiwan's international space to further its broader cross-strait policy and work with the US to find suitable terminology and implement changes in organizational charters or rules, she says.
China should also provide "unqualified support and assistance" for Taiwan to participate in the regional economic integration. process.
"Taiwan's ambiguous international status has long complicated its ability to participate in international organizations in which the rest of the world shares information and makes critical global decisions," Glaser says.
"Being barred from international economic organizations erodes Taiwan's international competitiveness and hinders economic liberalization of the domestic economy, as well as its further integration regionally," she says.
Glaser says the US, Japan, Canada, Australia and many countries in the EU support a larger role for Taiwan in the international community.
In all, she makes 12 recommendations for action by Taiwan, five for China and five for the US.
Beijing has blocked Taiwan from joining many international organizations — particularly those that require statehood for membership — because it fears that membership might encourage Taipei to seek independence.

School of Economic, Political and Policy Sciences
Geography (B.A.)
Geography is the science of place and space. Geographers ask where things are located on the surface of the earth, why they are located where they are, how places differ from one another, and how people interact with the environment. It is inherently interdisciplinary and international, and has been revolutionized recently by new technologies such as geographic information systems, global positioning systems and remote sensing.
Geographers forge close ties with many others including urban and regional economists, sociologists and planners, as well as with those who study international trade and economic growth. Geographers who explore environmental relationships become skilled in earth science (for example, geomorphology or climatology) or become leaders in the development of cultural ecology, linking closely with anthropology and archaeology. Geographers play leading roles in such policy arenas as urban and transportation planning, area studies, regional and international development, risk analysis, and environmental management. And they increasingly contribute their technological skills in geographic information systems, remote sensing and spatial analysis.
Mission and Objectives
The mission of the Bachelor of Arts in Geography program is to provide students a rigorous education in the fundamental theories, concepts, quantitative tools and analytical research methodologies central to the field of geography. The program fosters an understanding of the local and global ways in which humans interact with spatially distributed phenomena, organize their activities in space, and use and manage the earth's resources and environments. So equipped, UT Dallas geography graduates will effectively participate as global citizens, successfully compete for professional jobs requiring strong analytical geographic skills and an integrative spatial perspective, and be admitted to the best graduate schools globally.
Students in the program will:
- Demonstrate their knowledge of the fundamental theories and concepts central to the field of geography.
- Apply quantitative tools and analytical research methodologies to spatial issues central to the field of geography.
- Analyze and evaluate the local and global ways in which humans interact with spatially distributed phenomena, organize their activities in space, and use and manage the earth's resources and environments.
UT Dallas offers three degree options to its geography majors: a general B.A. degree, a B.A. with certification in Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies, and a B.A. with a concentration in Regional Development and International Studies.
Those who elect the general BA degree are provided an educational experience to allow them to put their degrees, backgrounds, and experience to use in a wide variety of post-graduate educational and occupational positions, including:
- Graduate School in Geography (or a related social, policy or environmental science discipline, including UT Dallas' own graduate programs in Geospatial Information Science, Public Policy and Political Economy, and Public Affairs);
- Urban, Environmental or Transportation Planning;
- The travel industry;
- Public Policy or Management;
- Marketing, Real Estate or Location Analysis;
- Employment in federal, state and local government agencies.
Those who elect the option for certification in Geographic Information Systems have added opportunities as GIS analysts in many of these same areas, as well as other areas such as natural resource exploration, cartography, crime analysis, and geospatial intelligence.
The concentration in regional development and international studies is interdisciplinary and serves a group of students who cross the disciplines of geography, political science, economics, sociology, and the humanities. Graduates with a specialization in this area will possess the skills that are necessary to meet the needs and demands of the international diplomatic and business sectors, in particular, students will be prepared to identify and develop solutions to current problems in public and international affairs, including regional development. Students also will be prepared for analytical and administrative positions and responsibilities in the government, policy-making, or private sector. The program builds on requirements in foreign language, regional/comparative studies, and an international foundation. Students choose from three fields of study: Globalization and Development, International Political Economy, and Culture and Politics. Each field of study combines theory and social science research methods to provide students with the skills and ability to deal effectively with international issues. The Globalization and Development field focuses on issues related to the global economy and regional development. The International Political Economy field allows students to understand how economic policy is formulated by political leaders, providing a means to better understand complex interactions at the local, national, and international levels. The Culture and Politics field allows students to explore the mutual engagement of culture, space, and political power adding a new and crucial dimension to the study of international affairs.

Cheema was abducted, beaten, and humiliated over the weekend in Islamabad (see our alert from Wednesday.)
The group editor for The News (the largest English-language paper in Pakistan, published by the Jang Group of Newspapers), Shaheen Sehbai, who is traveling in the U.S., was the first to contact me about the abduction. I wasn't able to get through to Umar until Wednesday evening, after we had posted our alert. His first message was typical of him: "Hope you're doing OK. I'm fine and in high spirits."
When I asked who had done this to him, his answer was measured: "The men were in police uniforms but they weren't policemen, I suppose. I did a number of stories that were highly critical of the army, the federal government, including President Asif Ali Zardari. I can't precisely say who could be behind this attack but I believe that army-controlled intelligence agencies and civilian agencies should explain their position."
In The News' account of the abduction, Umar said his kidnappers had asked him if he was trying to discredit the government with his reporting and bring about another military government--historically the default solution for tottering Pakistan presidencies. That still begs the question of who took him, but if you want to see whose list of enemies list Umar might be on and why he's not sure who would so terribly abuse him, The News posted his more recent stories with the terrific headline "What Cheema reported and paid for through his nose."
Even though we reported that Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani called Cheema to assure him the attack would be thoroughly investigated, there is good reason to doubt that it will be. At least in terms of murders, there has been no investigation with subsequent prosecution of anyone who has killed a journalist in Pakistan beyond that of the case of the American Daniel Pearl, The Wall Street Journal reporter who was abducted in January 2002 and killed about a month later.
In our alert on Umar's ordeal, I quoted the English-language daily Dawn's widely reprinted editorial, which said: "No half-hearted police measures or words of consolation from the highest offices in the land will suffice in the aftermath of the brutal treatment meted out to journalist Umar Cheema of The News. This paper's stand is clear: the government and its intelligence agencies will be considered guilty until they can prove their innocence."
It's worth reposting that. Arguably, President Asif Ali Zardari's government hasn't been as heavy-handed as the Musharraf government that came before him, but Zardari's record is hardly admirable.
The targeted, politically motivated attack on Umar is precisely the sort of event that, even amid the rest of Pakistan's woes, serves as a turning point in closing the space in which journalists operate. Dawn's editorial got it dead right when it said: "His torture was a message to not just an individual but the entire journalistic community in Pakistan that a certain type of criticism will no longer be tolerated. The government must probe this incident with honesty of purpose, which is a bit of an ask, and come clean with its findings. Journalists have been killed in Pakistan before. This time though a media person was abducted, subjected to physical pain and then released to send a message to writers at large."
That's the significance of Umar Cheema's abduction--it was a message sent to all journalists in Pakistan, and it may not have come from the Taliban, or al-Qaeda, or any one of the scores of groups engaged in combat with the legitimate authorities across the country. As Dawn says, it is "a bit of an ask" to expect an honest investigation given Pakistan's past record in incidents like these. But it's still not too much to ask.

over-the-counter decongestants are available to treat
snoring. The following are a few examples:
Some decongestants are sprayed into the nose. Others are
taken in pill form.
In some states, medicines containing
pseudoephedrine (such as Sudafed) are kept behind the pharmacist's counter or
require a prescription. You may need to ask the
pharmacist for it or have a prescription from your
doctor to buy the medicine. The amount of decongestant you can buy at one time
also may be limited.
Decongestants narrow blood vessels,
reducing the blood supply to nasal
mucous membranes. This reduces nasal congestion. If
snoring is caused by nasal congestion, snoring may be
Decongestants are used for nasal
congestion. Nasal congestion may contribute to
snoring, so using decongestants may help reduce
Nasal spray decongestants work within
about 10 minutes and may relieve nasal congestion for up to 12 hours. Oral
decongestants work within 30 minutes and may relieve nasal congestion for up to
6 hours. If you can reduce the amount of nasal congestion, you may be able to
reduce your snoring.
Purchased or homemade saltwater (saline)
nasal sprays may also help clear up a stuffy nose. See information on
cleaning your nasal passages with salt water.
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
Call your doctor if you have:
Common side effects of this medicine include:
If too much nasal decongestant spray is
used or if it is used for too long a time, rebound congestion may occur between
uses or after use is stopped.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side
effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
Decongestant nasal sprays should be used only
for short periods of time (not more than 3 days in a row).
Many nonprescription preparations for other health
problems, such as some diet pills, contain decongestants. To avoid a possible
overdose, do not take two medicines that contain
decongestants at the same time.
Be careful with these medicines. They may not be safe for young children or for people who have certain health problems, so check the label first. If you do use these medicines, always follow the directions about how much to use based on age and weight.
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – MIT broke open a one-run game with five runs in the eighth inning as the No. 2 seeded Engineers took an 8-2 win over No. 3 seed Babson College in a opening round game of the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference baseball tournament at Babson. Moving on to play No. 1 seed Wheaton, the Engineers saw an early 5-0 lead get away as the Lyons came back to score an 11-8 win.
Senior Max Ockner (Chesterfield, Mo.) started for MIT (22-8) against Babson and did not allow a hit over the first three innings. The Beavers broke through in the fourth when its first two hitters reached on a single and a fielder's choice. Ockner retired the next two hitters, but George Crowl drove one to the warning track in right for a two-run double to put the Babson on top.
Playing as the home team, MIT answered in its half of the inning. Sophomore Parker Tew (Chapel Hill, N.C.) led off with a home run down the line in left, the first hit off of Michael Bort, who had set down the first nine hitters in order. Senior James McKinney (Wakefield, R.I.) then walked, moving over to third when Bort's pickoff attempt got past the first baseman. Senior Ricardo Perez (Vienna, Va.) then knotted things up at 2-all with a sac fly to center.
MIT took the lead for good in the seventh when sophomore Karl Sorensen (Blacksburg, Va.) was hit by a pitch to lead off the inning, moving to second on a sacrifice. McKinney then brought him in with a two-out single to left. The Engineers broke it open in the eighth, getting base hits from the first three hitters, with Perez bringing in his second run of the game with a single to center. Sophomore K.J. Parent (Knoxville, Tenn.) and McKinney each added two-run singles to make it 8-2.
Junior Rob Bertucci (Belleville, Ill.) game on to pitch in the sixth and went 2.2 innings for the Engineers, allowing just one hit to record the victory.
With the victory MIT moved on to play No. 1 seed Wheaton on the Lyons home field. The Engineers struck first in the third when they loaded the bases with nobody out on a walk and a pair of singles. Tew brought in the first run with a fielders choice before McKinney lofted a sac fly to center to plate another. Junior Creed Mangrum (Sandy, Utah) finished things off with a single to center that scored Tew and made it 3-0.
MIT extended its lead to 5-0 in the fourth when Parent singled with one down and junior Jon Rea (Palo Alto, Calif.) doubled down the line in left to put runners on second and third. McKinney then continued his big day, raping a two-out double to center to score both runners.
MIT's starter, senior Aric Dama (Winfield, Ill.), retired the first nine Wheaton hitters before the Lyons got to him in the fourth. Wheaton started the inning with a walk that was followed by a double from Eric Jensen to break the Lyons onto the scoreboard. After a single moved Jensen to third, he scored on Apolinar De la Cruz's base hit to make it 5-2. Wheaton then loaded the bases on a bunt single for Paul O'Neill who plated another run with a sac fly. Justin Peluso then added an RBI single to make it a one-run game.
After MIT got one run back in the top of the fifth on an RBI single by Parent, Wheaton took the lead for good with six runs in the bottom of the sixth. The Lyons collected seven hits in the inning, sending 10 hitters to the plate. Peluso's second straight RBI single tied the game and Sean Ryan delivered two runs to cap off the uprising with a single to make it 10-6.
MIT loaded the bases again in the seventh and came away with two runs, one on an RBI single by freshman Kendall Helbert (St. Louis, Mo.) and the other when Rea hit into a double play to make it 10-8. It was as close as MIT would get however, as Wheaton added an insurance run in the eighth and saw closer Ryan Grant set down the Engineers in order in the ninth to preserve the win for Wheaton.
With one loss, MIT is still alive in the double elimination tournament and will play Babson at Wheaton next Saturday at 1:00 p.m. with the winner taking on Wheaton at 3:30 p.m. Prior to that the Engineers will play next at Brandeis on Tuesday afternoon at 3:00 p.m.

I've having this issue too. Did you find a fix?
Many thanks,
Chris Cork
Yes, I have that happening on my 2014 MacBook Pro retina display when running Windows 10 in BootCamp. I consulted my local EFI SDM and TSS, but no good answer. Now, when I know I need to use CWS or a Fiery print driver, I boot into MacOS, but not Windows 10.
It's still useable for me, but it would be nice for it to display correctly seeing that Windows 10 has been out quite a while now.
It seems that this issue has to do with the window not expanding to reveal the zoomed content. Our engineers have advised that the driver window is limited so that even if the content is zoomed, the window doesn't expand to fit the content. We have also asked Microsoft about this a while ago and did not receive a resolution.
We will try to engage Microsoft again on our side and update if we have new information.
Based on other drivers, I don't think the driver window size restriction is a Windows issue. Compare the Fiery driver window with a Xerox driver window on the same Win 10 PC. I also included the monitor settings. The fiery drivers and CWS have always had scaling and other UI issues (mouse scrolling anyone?) What we want is a properly scaling driver window. Monitor resolutions are only getting higher, with 4K resolutions starting to show up in design departments.

Lewan and Assoc.
Just wondering if EFI engineers have continued to follow-up with this problem... Looks like it goes back to 2016. Also having this same issue with high resolution monitors and the zoom feature. If you don't zoom the display, everything is displayed in the pop-up print dialogue - just extremely small (can't see). When you zoom the display, the content in the pop-up scales but the window does not expand or change size to be able to display the content. EFI apps, print driver pop-up and CWS job properties and CPS windows, seem to be the only ones that have a problem with this that I can tell.
Can an EFI engineer please give an update with this issue? We have customers that want to cancel orders because they say the print driver does not work properly... Thank you.
Same Issue with Multiple builds of Windows 10. The high resolution displays are the unifying factor here. Also have a customer who purchased multiple machines that is going to cancel and return if this issue is not resolved. This has been an issue since 10 and high resolution displays first came out. Why can't a fix be found? And why only the properties tab? The about and update tab are proper sized.
Stumped and about to get reprimanded for an issue I have no control; over.
Thank you
I have the same display issues with the Fiery print driver on a 15" MacBook Pro running Windows 10 Pro in BootCamp at retina resolution (2880x1800). This has been going on for years. At least with the Fiery driver, the pulldown menus actually pull down from where they're supposed to. But in Command Workstation 6.x, pulldown menus pop up a couple of inches to the left of where they belong, detached and out in space, so to speak, and in a font so tiny as to be barely readable. I'd try to do a screen grab right now but I can't connect to a Fiery right now.
And I agree, it's not a Windows issue. Konica Minolta (SOFHA-authored) print driver display just fine.

Lowes Build and Grow
Aug 31, 2010
This past summer Emma decided that she wanted to learn to work with wood. Shortly after we discovered that Lowes runs a program where kids can come and build a simple wood project for FREE! They usually do a couple projects a month and provide all that is needed. As a bonus, the kids get to keep their work apron. Whenever they complete a project they're given a badge that can be sewn onto the apron.
The projects are recommended for grades 1-5 but younger kids could do them as well with an adult's help. They do have a maximum amount of kids that they can accommodate so it's best to register at least a few days in advance. I sign up as soon as they post the project!
You can sign up on their website: Lowes Build and Grow
So far Emma has built a race car, ball and cup game, schoolbus and a bug box. I'm amazed that they offer this for free! You can also purchase additional kits inside their store to do at home.

Fuzzy Wuzzy
Apr 17, 2010
Fuzzy Wuzzy (in this case) is not a bear! Emma found a banded woolly bear caterpillar a couple weeks ago and we decided to keep him as a 'pet.' We're hoping to see him turn into a moth. The nice thing is he's very easy to care for. We put him in a gallon-size clear jar with a rubber band holding a piece of cloth around the top. We put a couple sticks and some fresh grass in the jar too. All he needs is fresh grass every day.
Emma came to me all horrified one morning thinking he was dead. It turns out he had just knit his cocoon around himself so now we're waiting to see if he makes it to the moth stage. Fun!
For a little more fun, check out this GIANT banded woolly bear! ;)

Vaccine Recall
Apr 17, 2010
Well, today I'm feeling re-affirmed in our decision NOT to vaccinate our daughter (now 17 months old). There are just so many things wrong with vaccines! This recent case of the FDA recalling the Rotavirus vaccine just shows how murky the "safety" is of vaccines. My heart goes out to everyone who's child has been injured by vaccines! It's just not right that so many doctors (who are supposed to look out for our children's health) continue to recommend these very unsafe "prevention" measures.

Precious Memories
Mar 30, 2010
My husband recently taught my oldest daughter to ride her bike. I knew it would be fun to see him teach her but I had no idea what a special moment it would be. I felt so much joy and pride! Both my husband and my daughter were really patient with one another and I'm sure that's why it went so smoothly! I also had the privilege of teaching my daughter to read a couple years ago and it felt amazing! There are many days that I feel tired and worn out and I'm not the best mom on those days. But then there are days when we build with blocks, make cookies or snuggle on the couch and read Fancy Nancy. These are the moments I cherish and want to hold on to. It's not about being the perfect parent. We are all flawed and we'll mess some things up. What's important is that our children know we love them. It's ok for them to see that sometimes we're weak and sometimes make mistakes. That's real life. That takes the pressure off them to live a perfect life. It's a powerful experience for them to see us going to God for strength or to have us apologize to them when we've spoken out of anger. I want to live authentically for my children and yet not dwell too much on my imperfections or theirs. I choose to celebrate the good! I know it's been said many times but the advice to "count our blessings" is a wise one. We have so many!

How to make a baby wrap
Dec 13, 2009
When my latest daughter was born I knew I wanted to have a comfortable baby carrier. In the past I had used a sling (that I made) and it wasn't at all comfortable. It made my arm feel like it was going to go out of joint! I would have such an upper back ache after using it. Some people use them though and love them so I'm not sure what went wrong with mine.
After looking into it I thought the "Moby Wrap" looked like a good choice. With this wrap the baby's weight is distributed evenly across your back and waist so it's very ergonomic and comfortable. Instead of buying the name-brand wrap I ended up making my own. It ended up being SUPER simple and much cheaper. It look about 10 minutes and NO sewing! It's just one long strip of fabric that you wrap around you. I made mine with a cotton/spandex knit blend (95% cotton, 5% spandex). This allows it to breath and yet be flexible. It's great too because the edges roll up a bit on themselves and don't fray so you don't have to sew them. As the baby gets much heavier you can make it with a thicker, stiffer fabric for more support. Here are the dimensions if you are interested in making one:
16 ft long (5.5 yards) - You can make it longer if you're heavier.
Cut fabric 21" wide at widest - I folded it in half, and it's at 21" width for 70" before tapering it down (so 140" unfolded)
4" at the very narrowest end
This made two wraps (for half the price of one commercial wrap) so I was able to give one away to a friend.
I absolutely LOVED using this wrap! It was so comfy! It was great being able to cover my daughter's head with the fabric when she needed shade or needed to sleep. Plus, I could pull the fabric over her legs to help keep her warm when it was cold out. It may look tricky to wear this wrap but it's actually quite easy! The only thing about it is that it's a very long piece of fabric so parts of it will sit on the floor or ground as you're putting it on. This didn't bother me though. You can check out the 'Moby Wrap' website for instructions on how to put on the wrap.

Facebook Applications: Back Doors for Law Enforcement?
Via Google News I hear of a new Facebook Application: GMP Updates. The application, also known as "The Greater Manchester Police Updates," gives you a feed of crime updates and links to a form for reporting crimes, according to the article. It's the first time I've seen a law enforcement based Facebook application.
There have been several articles about law enforcement using its normal user-level access to Facebook for criminal prosecutions (For example: "Facebook Helps Law Enforcement", "Site Used to Aid Investigations," "Student Arrested After Police Facebook Him"). In these cases, law enforcement or their tipsters browse Facebook like a normal user, looking at the information made available to that user.
Expanded Viewing Powers
Law enforcement use of applications will significantly expand the reach of what law enforcement can see, and also provide a more surreptitious viewing ability. It's been noted that some 90% of popular applications have access to more information than they need, but this seems like a significant first — giving law enforcement more access than it needs. Why the expansion? Because application providers get access to just about all of your Facebook information, as described in the "Platform Application Terms of Use":
In order to allow you to use and participate in Platform Applications created by Developers ("Developer Applications"), Facebook may from time to time provide Developers access to the following information (collectively, the "Facebook Site Information"):
(i) any information provided by you and visible to you on the Facebook Site, excluding any of your Contact Information, and
(ii) the user ID associated with your Facebook Site profile.
Facebook provides some examples of what this means. Like:
The Facebook Site Information may include, without limitation, the following information, to the extent visible on the Facebook Site: your name, your profile picture, your gender, your birthday, your hometown location (city/state/country), your current location (city/state/country), your political view, your activities, your interests, your musical preferences, television shows in which you are interested, movies in which you are interested, books in which you are interested, your favorite quotes, the text of your "About Me" section, your relationship status, your dating interests, your relationship interests, your summer plans, your Facebook user network affiliations, your education history, your work history, your course information, copies of photos in your Facebook Site photo albums, metadata associated with your Facebook Site photo albums (e.g., time of upload, album name, comments on your photos, etc.), the total number of messages sent and/or received by you, the total number of unread messages in your Facebook in-box, the total number of "pokes" you have sent and/or received, the total number of wall posts on your Wall™, a list of user IDs mapped to your Facebook friends, your social timeline, and events associated with your Facebook profile.
[I've highlighted some of my favorites]
Note that applications can access your data even if you've marked it as not viewable by the police in your geographic network or school. Even if you've used a "friend list" to restrict who sees a photo, it's still available to the third party application providers. So its not enough to carefully tune your privacy vis-a-vis other Facebook users. You also have to avoid adding in applications like the GMP Updater — avoid getting updates from your local law enforcement.
Inadvertent Snitching
That's not all that is happening. When you add an application, by default it can see what you can see on Facebook. So you're also sharing your friends' information with law enforcement. Your friends may opt-out of this sharing, but until they do you'll be the eyes and ears of law enforcement by adding a law enforcement-based Facebook app. The defaults include quite a bit of information:
When you add applications, you're told they get to see your information:
But you're not told you're also sharing your friends' info.
Content Too?
One thing that is unclear to me is whether applications can see the content of my Facebook messages and other communications I make within the site. Content fits the definition ("any information provided by you and visible to you on the Facebook Site, excluding any of your Contact Information") of information available to third party providers, but it would be quite shocking if this was being made available to third parties. In the US, intercepting a communication requires a warrant — pursuant to the 4th Amendment as well as ECPA, and accessing a stored communication requires court orders or warrants, depending on the age of the information. This is why I'm skeptical that content is being shared with law enforcement via the API. It would be quite a scandal.

Telephone Calls with Prisoners - The Complete Guide
WARNING: Regarding Telephone Service Providers
The Michigan Department of Corrections' vendor for prisoner telephone service is Public Communications Services (PCS), Inc. Please be aware that there are telephone service providers who claim to be able to save customers money for inmate calls. One such company even uses the acronym "PCS" (Prison Call Solutions). Some of the websites for these telephone service providers advertise that they can "service all Global Tel*Link Corporation and PCS customers."
Please note the following statement from the Department's vendor Public Communications Services, regarding these providers:
"There have been reports of vendors contacting inmate family and friends and claiming they can reduce your cost for inmate telephone calls. These vendors are in no way affiliated with the Department of Corrections or the inmate telephone services provider, Public Communications Services, Inc. Furthermore, these vendors cannot bind Public Communications Services to any obligation, and may cause you to incur more costs through various subscriptions and commitments. Public Communications Services does not receive, and is not responsible, for any payments you make to these vendors, and will not reimburse you for any such payments."
For anyone who uses prepaid telephone service provided by DailyDial®, please note:
Beginning April 10, 2013, the DailyDial® prepaid phone service will upgrade to the Global Tel*Link Advance-Pay® prepaid telephone service.
Any available funds in a DailyDial® prepaid account will be automatically transferred during this process to a new Global Tel*Link AdvancePay® account. Calling rates will remain the same. This change will allow individuals with an AdvancePay® account to make deposits, check balances, and get other payment instructions, both by phone and online.
No action is required by current DailyDial® account holders. They will be informed that the change has taken effect when they receive their next phone call from a prisoner after the transition.
The below information describes specifically what changes will occur with this transition:
There will be a change in how credit cards are processed. Right now, if you deposit $20.00, you are charged the processing fee of $3.95, thus making your final charge $23.95.
After the conversion, the fee rather than being added, it will be deducted. So in the same scenario, if you deposit $20.00, your final total will be $16.05. Now the total deposited can be raised or lowered in $1.00 increments.
In addition, the minimum deposit will be $5 as anything lower the end user would not be able to accept a phone call (for instance, if the deposit was only $4.00 it would leave only a .05 balance). If someone were to deposit $5, they will be left with a balance of $1.05 thus being allowed to accept several calls.
After the transition, you can access the AdvancePay® by phone, call: 1-855-466-2832 or online, at: www.offenderconnect.com
Prisoner Telephone System - Calling from a Correctional Facility
The current vendor for prisoner telephone services is Public Communications Services. As part of PCS telephone services, prisoners are able to call 20 personal telephone numbers which becomes his/her Personal Allowed Numbers (PAN) list. PAN's will automatically reset each quarter (1/1, 4/1, 7/1, 10/1), which allows each prisoner an opportunity to update his/her calling list. Prisoners are allowed to make telephone calls using the following options:
COLLECT: Prisoners can call certain approved numbers and the call charges will appear on the called party's monthly phone bill. However, note that collect calls cannot be made to cell phones, office phones, or hospital numbers.
PREPAID COLLECT: PCS's prepaid collect option has been migrated from Daily Dial™ to AdvancePay®. This option allows friends and family members to set up a calling account to their personal phone number(s). Every time a prisoner calls one of these numbers, the charges will be deducted from the called party's account. Please visit www.offenderconnect.com or call 855-466-2832 to set up an AdvancePay® account today! (See above notice regarding AdvancePay®.)
DEBIT: Debit calling puts prisoners in control of their personal phone account. Prisoners are able to purchase debit minutes through the institutional disbursement process, which they can then use to call friends and family members. Prisoners can call many phone numbers, including cell phones, with their debit account.
For any questions regarding these calling options, please call PCS at 855-466-2832.
PCS - Prisoner Telephone Rates
Prisoner telephone rates are outlined in the table below (Effective February 11, 2014):
Per Minute Rate
Collect Local/IntraLata/InterLata/Intrastate
Collect Interstate
Prepaid Local/IntraLata/InterLata/Intrastate
Prepaid Interstate
Receiving Prisoner Calls
As part of PCS telephone services, prisoners will be able to call only 20 personal telephone numbers but those numbers will be the first 20 personal numbers the prisoner chooses to call each quarter (i.e., Jan-Mar; Apr-Jun; Jul-Sep; Oct-Dec) unless the number is blocked in accordance with the Prisoner Telephone Policy. The first 20 completed calls each quarter will become the prisoner's "Personal Allowed Numbers" (PAN). Prisoners also may call numbers on the universal list.
The prisoner has the option of placing collect calls to telephone numbers on their PAN list. Collect calls are billed to the called party every month through their phone carrier company.
Some local phone providers establish a maximum dollar amount limit for collect calls. You will need to contact your local provider to determine this amount. If you reach the maximum dollar amount limit allowed for collect calls, you may be at a risk of being blocked from receiving future collect calls from an inmate. In such instances, you can call PCS at 855-466-2832 to sign up for a prepaid calling account and begin receiving calls again. You can also visit the website to sign up for service:

Here is some additional information regarding the setup and funding of Prepaid Accounts:
- PCS charges a $3.95 Credit Card Transaction Fee for each funding transaction.
- Customers receiving calls from MI DOC prisons may fund up to three prepaid accounts (phone number to be called) with a single transaction and single fee charge when processed through a customer service agent. Please contact PCS at 855-466-2832 if you are interested in funding more than one prepaid account with a single transaction.
- There is no minimum deposit for transactions done via the web, IVR or over the phone.
- There is no fee to close an account.
You may also fund an account at no charge via a cashier's check or money order. There is a $25 minimum payment amount for funding by mail. Payments should be sent to: AdvancePay, PO Box 911722, Denver, CO 80291-1722. Please include your name, the name of the correctional facility where the prisoner is incarcerated and your phone number. Note that it may take up to five (5) business days from when PCS receives payment for the funds to be added to the Prepaid Account.
Blocking Prisoner Calls
There are multiple ways to block calls from prisoners as needed.
- Any incoming call can be refused at any time by either hanging up or pressing "1" when prompted. The call will be disconnected and the prisoner will be informed their call was not accepted.
- Any incoming call from a correctional facility can be blocked permanently by pressing "6" when prompted. You will be asked to provide a 4 digit personal identification number (PIN) to confirm the block. This PIN will be required to remove the block in the future if needed.
- You can also call the PCS customer service department at 855-466-2832 and they will be able to help block future calls from a prisoner.
If you are receiving unwanted correspondence or telephone calls from a prisoner, you should contact the Warden at the facility where the prisoner is currently being housed. A written correspondence and/or telephone restriction may be placed on the prisoner after a fair and impartial review of your request. We will make every effort to restrict contact from the prisoner after your request is approved. However, if you should receive any contact after the restriction, please contact the Warden at the facility where the prisoner is being housed.
If you are being threatened by a Michigan prisoner, you should contact the Warden at the facility where the prisoner is currently being housed. Our office will also forward your e-mail concerns to the Parole Board, Crime Victims Notification, and the Warden.
Removing a Block
You can remove a block on your telephone number by calling the PCS customer service department at 855-466-2832.
Please note there are other reasons why your phone number may be blocked from receiving collect calls from correctional facilities. These include:
- Your local telephone company does not offer billing on collect calls
- You have reached the maximum dollar amount limit allowed for collect calls
- You are trying to receive collect calls on a cell phone or work phone

Closing an Account
Similar to traditional prepaid calling card accounts, for accounting and recordkeeping purposes, GTL's and its affiliates' prepaid accounts for inmate calling services are subject to closure after 90 days of inactivity. A prepaid account holder may request a refund of any monies left in the account any time during that 90-day period. All prepaid account holders are informed of this policy and of their right to request a refund. Specifically, friends and family of inmates are notified of the terms and conditions of the prepaid account when establishing their account by phone. A detailed explanation of the inactivity policy is also contained in the terms and conditions associated with the prepaid service, which are posted on the OffenderConnect website and are provided to customers when they establish an account. The Michigan DOC website also provides detailed instructions on setting up a prepaid account with PCS, and links to PCS's website, which provides information on the inactivity policy. The Michigan DOC website confirms there is no fee to close a prepaid account should a customer choose to exercise that option. To ensure inmates have access to information regarding PCS's services, PCS makes posters available to each DOC facility for posting in each individual inmate calling location. The posters provide instructions on how to place a call and contact information for lodging complaints and other inquires. This information is provided in both English and Spanish.
Scam and Fraud Protection Notification
Be wary of inmate calls that request you to dial *72 (or any digits) followed by a new ten-digit number. Completing this request can result in the forwarding of your telephone number to a number of the inmate's choosing, and all calls to your true telephone number can be automatically forwarded to the new number without your knowledge. The only way to reverse the forwarding of calls to a new number is to dial *73 (or the digits corresponding to your phone provider). For Additional Information, visit http://www.gtl.net/familyandfriends/consumer_protection.shtml.
Funding Prepaid Accounts via Lobby Kiosk at the Detroit ReEntry Center and Women's Huron Valley
PCS will be partnering with the Department of Corrections to conduct a pilot program whereby we will be installing a kiosk in the lobby at the Detroit ReEntry Center and the Women's Huron Valley facility for the purpose of funding prepaid phone accounts. Currently, these kiosks will only allow for funding of prepaid phone accounts and will not accept any other type of deposit, such as deposits to inmate trust or commissary accounts. However, any PCS prepaid phone account for a Michigan Department of Corrections customer may be funded via these kiosks. Funding is not limited to accounts that receive calls from these facilities. Note that the fee for using the kiosk to fund a prepaid account is the same $3.95 Credit Card Transaction Fee that is charged for deposits made via the Web, IVR or over the phone.
For the pilot project, kiosks will be installed at the following locations:
- One Kiosk - Detroit ReEntry Center, 17600 Ryan Rd, Detroit, MI 48212
- One Kiosk - Women's Huron Valley, 3201 Bemis Rd, Ypsilanti, MI 48197

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Growing up in Kansas with religious parents concerned about the morality of public school, Neil Meyer had no real educational structure after the second grade and never completed his homeschooling. When he turned 18, he moved out of his parents' house and made his way to Pennsylvania.
Meyer began working as a Walmart cashier in April 2007 and quickly moved up the ranks. The head of human resources encouraged him to go to school. With services available through Pennsylvania CareerLink, Meyer obtained his GED. The year Meyer became eligible to apply for Penn State as an adult learner, he did.
Now a junior majoring in psychology with a neuroscience option, Meyer presented his laboratory work at a Summer Research Symposium last year. He is a Pennsylvania Postsecondary Education Award recipient and has been selected as a national McNair Scholar and a Penn State Bunton-Waller Scholar — all while working 20 hours a week as a Walmart pharmacy clerk.
For his extraordinary determination in furthering his own academic development and successfully juggling multiple roles, Meyer has been honored with the 2013 Penn State Outstanding Adult Student Award.
The award recognizes an exceptional adult learner at the University Park campus who has begun or resumed their education after the age of 24, after being out of high school for four or more years, who demonstrates initiative in overcoming obstacles to furthering their education, while serving as a role model for other adult learners, achieving academic excellence and contributing to their community.
Leslie A. Laing, assistant director for Adult Learner Programs and Services in the Division of Student Affairs at Penn State, sponsors and organizes the annual award recognition program. She praised Meyer for "bravely facing each obstacle to achieve his educational goals, contributing to the academy and improving the community."
"This is, by far, the most personal award I've ever received because the committee looked at who I am as a person," Meyer said. "It is incredibly humbling to be in the same category as the others who were nominated, and this award definitely has a special place in my heart."
Just days after being honored with the Outstanding Adult Student Award, Meyer was awarded a $3,000 Penn State Summer Discovery Research Grant. He plans to attend graduate school and dreams of becoming a tenured faculty member at a tier-one research university to further his studies of borderline personality disorders and psychotherapy.
As this year's Outstanding Adult Student Award recipient, Meyer is the third recipient of a grant from the Adult Learner Opportunity Fund. Laing established the fund to aid nontraditional-aged students and veterans who often juggle multiple financial responsibilities and family obligations while completing their undergraduate degree requirements.
To contribute to this fund, visit www.givenow.psu.edu (select "Other" from the drop down list and type "Adult Learner Opportunity Fund (XXTOF)" on the Additional Information line).

Serbs in Kosovo jailed over deadly riots
MITROVICA, Kosovo (AP) — A Kosovo court on Thursday found three ethnic Serbs guilty of storming a U.N.-run court and inciting riots that led to the death of a Ukrainian peacekeeper in 2008.
The ruling came as dozens of NATO peacekeepers backed by armored vehicles secured the area around the court. Hundreds of local Serbs briefly blocked entrances to the building with big trucks filled with dirt.
The panel of three European Union judges convicted Marijan Ilincic and Dragan Milojevic, and sentenced them to 22 and 18 months in prison, respectively. A third defendant, Zoran Cavic, was convicted of similar charges and given a 9-month sentence that was suspended for one year, according to the EU's rule of law mission in Kosovo, EULEX.
Three other defendants were cleared of all charges.
A team of defense lawyers said they will appeal the three guilty verdicts.
Hours before the court proceeding started, EULEX armed special police units escorted the judges and the prosecutor into the court house. No incidents were reported, and the barricades were removed after the verdicts were made public.
Ethnic Serbs, who dominate Kosovo's north, boycott EULEX, saying it backs ethnic Albanian separatists.
In March 2008, a crowd of ethnic Serbs stormed the court house in Mitrovica to prevent EULEX from replacing the U.N. administration. The violence was in response to Kosovo's declaration of independence from Serbia.
About 130 people, including some 60 U.N. and NATO peacekeepers, were wounded during several days of clashes that ensued between Serbs and international peacekeepers. Thursday's guilty verdicts involved a Ukrainian peacekeeper who died from injuries received from fragments of a hand grenade. He was part of a special police unit deployed restore control of the courthouse from the Serb rioters.
Serbia rejects Kosovo's independence.
