Graduate Scholars and Scholarships
5130.1 General Policy
The colleges/schools annually award scholarships through the Graduate School and the Office of Financial Aid. The scholarships may be awarded to academically qualified new incoming graduate students who have at least a 2.70 cumulative undergraduate grade point average and have been admitted in regular status into a degree or certificate program. Scholarships can be used for recruitment of new students or retention of existing students who have excellent records in their graduate studies.
Students receiving a scholarship are referred to as graduate scholars. They are not expected to perform work other than attend classes and perform related research. Graduate scholars are required to maintain a 3.0 cumulative graduate grade point average in order to remain on the scholarship.
5130.2 Length of Appointment
Scholars normally receive a two year appointment usually beginning with the Fall term. The scholarship may not be awarded for more than two years. Students do not have to attend the Summer Term in order to maintain their scholarships.
5130.3 Minimum Credit Hour Requirement
Scholars do not have to register during the Summer Term. All credit hours covered by a Graduate Scholarship must be related to the scholars' programs of study.
5130.4 Tuition Remission
Graduate scholars are granted partial or full tuition remissions for instructional fees up to a maximum of twelve semester hours (laboratory and other program fees are not covered). The amount of the tuition covered is determined by the student's college or school.
5130.5 Off Campus and on Campus Employment
Scholars may hold on and off campus employment.
5130.6 Sponsored International Students
International students who are sponsored by Fulbright or other sponsorship programs will be awarded tuition scholarships sufficient to cover 30% of full-time tuition up to twelve semester hours. These scholarships are subject to the policies contained in this section, as well as to the regulations of the sponsoring agency.
5130.7 Summary of Graduate Scholarships
Students who are awarded scholarships are entitled to a partial or full tuition remission for instructional fees up to a maximum of twelve semester hours (not including laboratory or other program fees). Tuition remissions are not authorized for audited or undergraduate courses. However, a tuition remission may be used for undergraduate courses if the courses are recommended by the graduate program and are directly germane to the students' graduate programs of study. Graduate scholars will be authorized a tuition remission only for the number of terms that were granted to them by the scholarship award (no more than two academic years). The completion of degree requirements terminates the scholarship award for any unused terms.
Students not completing the terms of their scholarship awards; such as having less than a 3.0 cumulative graduate grade point average, etc. will lose their scholarship awards. Normally, the scholarships will be terminated the term following the non-complying action. Students do not have to take any minimum number of hours of credit in the Summer Term (or attend) in order to maintain their scholarship award.

Picture this – A booming front-of-house filled with hungry crowds, phones ringing off the hook with call in orders, dough being tossed in the back of the house, and the smell of savory cheeses and sauces colliding into one sweet aroma. This could be your pizzeria, let us tell you how!
If you have not done so already, determine what matters most to you – having total control over your brand, or bypassing some of the challenges of starting a new pizzeria? If the idea of handing over some of the business and creative input in exchange for pre-established brand awareness, then franchising may be the route for you. However, if you have big ideas for your restaurant's name, theme, and have a family recipe you plan to put to use, then building your business from the ground up is best. Whichever you choose – or have chosen, there are success secrets and tricks for each trade.
According to Entrepeneaur.com, one of the common mistakes for franchise failure is capital issues. Make sure that you over estimate operating costs, to leave room for unforeseen expenses – financial cushion is key.
You will need to lose your ego if you are coming in under a franchise. Sure, you may have a decade of experience in the industry, and may possibly be more knowledgeable than the franchiser but do not make the mistake of taking the blue print into your own hands or completely disregarding it altogether.
Don't assume that franchising is a free meal ticket. According to WSJ, "hundreds of franchises fail each year, and reluctance to follow the formula is a leading cause. Though you aren't building a brand from scratch you are responsible for representing and maintaining a pre-established brand.
Another reason why some franchisees fail is lack of good management. Most of the challenges of establishing a reputation for your pizzeria are done, so use this extra time and flexibility to hone your management skills. Do research, take classes or go to seminars – it will be well worth the investment. Remember, no matter the success of the brand as a whole, a poorly trained staff is one of the top mistakes new owners make, and can seriously damage your franchise.
Before going into business, make sure that you have perfected your pizza making craft. Whether it is a family recipe passed down from generations, or your very own special formula, ensure that you have it down pat to a science. Test it and re-test. Good pizza is the nucleus of a perfect pizzeria.
In order to have the best pizza equipment you will need to know what you need:
Having the proper equipment will help the cooking process go smoothly for your back-of-house staff, and help bring your pizza recipe to life, tastily!
When opening or running a pizzeria, try offering your guests more than just pizza. You can serve additional dishes like wings, pasta, and salad. (Read the Ingredients & Menu section for an Italian Restaurant).
Choose a good location for your pizza restaurant… and then market, market, market! Market using online tools like social media to humanize your restaurant, run promotions, and engage with your community. Create loyalty between you and your patrons. It takes time, but these repeat customers will be your business's support while working to turn new customers into regulars!
Running a pizzeria, whether an independent or a franchise is hard work. Measurable success is gradual, mistakes will happen, and yes, you will be taunted by unexpected troubles. However, if you follow these success secrets, you will have the tools for operating a perfect pizzeria – as perfectly possible.

The course of Lino Tagliapietra's career—from a childhood spent working in glass factories in Murano, Italy, through maturation as a designer and craftsman for industry, to full fruition as an independent artist—is unusual under any circumstance and unheard of in American studio glass. Almost thirty years after his first visit to America, to teach at the Pilchuck Glass School north of Seattle, Tagliapietra's glassblowing skills still trump most efforts in the United States and elsewhere. While rooted in the thousand-year-old story and traditions of the Venetian lagoon, the inventiveness of his work keeps it relevant to contemporary aesthetics. His art in glass stands within the grandest ranks of the decorative arts, an honored discipline of unabashed beauty and the most exquisite handwork.

text: diluded000 10 Report post Posted December 1, 2004 Well I managed to drill out my 15 inch rims and get them bolted under my '85 DL 5spd 4wd switchable wagon. I Sawzall'd and fender bashed, but I still get some rubbing from my 27 inch tires. It goes great on the ice, but parking is a little loud with the studded snow tires rubbing on the fenders. So I guess it is time for a lift - I'm thinking about 3" up front and 2" in the rear. I got a big block of aluminum and 4 feet of 2 inch solid round stock and want to cut this and wedge it under my ride, but have some questions before I really get started. This quote from McBrat was the best description of what I need to do, but I still have more questions: well, there will be at a minimum 18 bolts that get replaced with longer ones. you'll need the following blocks: Front: (2 blocks, 4 bolts) engine crossmember blocks. one long block each side where the crossmember mounts to the frame rails (6 blocks, 6 bolts) radius rod blocks. 3 each side. where the plates that hold the swaybar/tranny crossmsmber attach to the body (2 blocks) Strut block tops. new top bolts need to be offset to push in the struts at the top... steering extension. unbolt the "T" piece, cut, extend 2", weld tube around the bar. (4 blocks, 4 bolts) torsion bar. 2 blocks each side. (2 blocks, 4 bolts) diff hanger blocks. 1 block each side. shock extensions. original BYB kit came with a bottom extension, which worked fine unless you were carrying a LOT of weight. they never broke,but pivoted under the weight. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=24091&page=2&pp=10&highlight=knife Mostly I wonder about how to do the top of the struts and the rear shocks. For the strut tops do I turn a 3" thick disk in the lathe and run bolts all the way through it; or can I cut a rounded triangular block and do the same thing? And, did I read that there is a 22 degree angle to all of this? Does this mean that the strut has to stay at 22 degrees but the strut top is more or less on the same plane as the ground, or do I have to make my disk/triangle with a 22 degree angle as well? For the rear shock, has anyone tried to drop the top mounting bracket down? I was thinking I could bolt and weld a steel plate in there, but need some advice in this department as well. Finally, are there any other places that aren't just a matter of putting some sort of spacer block with longer bolts? Any comments on this would be a big help. - James B Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Topic was "Does Wilson deserve more praise?"
Wilbon asks TK if Wilson should be praised as much as RG3 and Luck.. Tony says he understands why Luck and RG3 are getting more hype because of draft position and college pedigree. Wilbon says "well we better start doing this because they're in playoff contention"
Tony says "Give PC credit for going with him over Flynn"
Wilbon says "If Wilson played in Boston or Philly the media would be 'slurping' over him."
Pretty cool.

Re: RPI 3 nousbshabaz Mar 19, 2016 8:43 PM (in response to icepuck)
Hi Dan,
How did you get the OS installed without using the keyboard? Could you try downloading Raspbian Jessie (you didn't specify if it was Raspbian or not) and installing that? (For transferring the file onto the microSD card, use Win32DiskImager on a Windows PC or the appropriate software and procedure as described in the getting started section at raspberrypi.org - Apple Mac is probably described there too).
For the install, ensure there are no ancillary bits like the touch screen connected, just a wired keyboard and mouse (not all wireless ones work) and HDMI and power of course. If you see any rainbow squares on the display, or the red LED on the Pi turning off briefly then these symptoms will mean a better power supply (and/or USB cable with internal heavier gauge wire for power) is needed.
I've tried running without the touch screen(via ssh) nothing is recognized.
This part I didn't understand - SSH doesn't use USB. It isn't related, so perhaps it is an install related issue if multiple things are at fault.
Are you by any chance using the console (serial) connection from the 40-pin header to access your Pi? That has (severe) issues although there are workarounds of sorts.
Google 'raspberry pi 3 uart baud issue' to see detail about this - in short, the baud rate is unpredictable. Leaving you with no access whenever a clock inside the Pi's BCM.. chip changes frequency. The couple of workarounds address this in a few different ways.

I used berryboot to install the latest Raspbian jessie.
BerryBoot v2.0 - bootloader / universal operating system installer
This part I didn't understand - SSH doesn't use USB. It isn't related, so perhaps it is an install related issue if multiple things are at fault.
SSH was the only way I could access the the PI without a keyboard.
I got new 8gb uSD and berryboot is downloading jessie again.

Re: RPI 3 nousbicepuck Mar 21, 2016 10:17 AM (in response to clem57)
There wasn't anything else plugged in. So, I'm starting to think I got a bad pi. I tried Ubuntu mate and the usb ports didn't work with either.
Re: RPI 3 nousbRoger Wolff Mar 21, 2016 10:47 AM (in response to icepuck)
The Sony factory in England builds the raspberry pi's. They test all the pi's before they ship. They have a low "bad device" percentage at testing in the fatory, as well as a low percentage of devices that come back (and turn out to be actually bad). So, chances are high that your raspberry is in good working order. But never say never.
That said. the symptoms you seem to be having could for instance be that your powersupply is not adequate. Where I say powersupply that includes the cable to the pi.
I have an USB hub here that occasionally delivers only 4V on its output. While "out of spec" for the 'pi, it WILL work. But (some) USB devices won't. (Newer pi's run down to below 3V, while the older ones stop working around 4.0V)
So: Check your power-supply-setup. What voltage do you measure on the 5V GPIO pin? Does the red powerled turn on? Does it blink?
Re: RPI 3 nousbicepuck Mar 23, 2016 1:00 PM (in response to Roger Wolff)
I ordered one of those usb power analyzers. I figure that will be better than trying to hack a usb cable to test for amp and voltage. Once that shows up I'll do some more testing.
Re: RPI 3 nousbpeteroakes Mar 21, 2016 11:32 AM (in response to icepuck)
If the PI thinks the volts is too low it will normally put up a small square rainbow icon in the top right corner of the screen. Are you getting this ??
Re: RPI 3 nousbicepuck Mar 25, 2016 7:30 PM (in response to peteroakes)
The first picture show the load of my pi 3 with touch screen and no usb or Ethernet hooked up. And the rainbow colored square showed up during this test.
This was a quick test I did right after I got home from work so I may not be thinking clearly.So...now what else should I test?
BTW that was a usb 2.1amp battery pack.
Re: RPI 3 nousbicepuck Mar 26, 2016 11:43 AM (in response to icepuck)
I tested my power supplies they all ranged from 4.98-5.12 volts and I was still getting the rainbow square in upper right corner. I also found out that rebooting doesn't work when attached to the touch screen, shutting down and removing power is what it takes for updates to work.
I checked 5v at the gpio header and found that I had 3.8 volts coming out of the lcd powering the pi.
Next I'll test the pi 3 with a monitor and maybe test my other pi's with the touch screen.
Re: RPI 3 nousbRoger Wolff Mar 26, 2016 1:03 PM (in response to icepuck)
Glad to hear that my hunch at what was wrong was correct. :-)
Your "3.8V" measurement clearly indicates that your pi is not getting enough power.
The rainbow square is clear indication that your pi is not getting enough power.
Now there is only one "odd" measurement: You claim to have measured 4.98-5.12V on the power supplies. My guess is that you measured that without any load. Once the pi is connected, the voltage drops. With good power supplies only a little, with a bad power supply it might be a lot. Or you measured at the power supply side of the cable, and not at the pi-side of the cable. Actually measuring at the GPIO is a reasonable way of going about measuring the power supply voltage "under load of a pi". So IMHO the 3.8V is authoritative: there is something wrong with your power supply.
And again: Double check the cable. For a lot of applications you can get away with very thin conductors in an USB cable. So many cables are manufactured with the cheapest/thinnest wires they can find. Those are not suitable for powering a 'pi.
Re: RPI 3 nousbclem57 Mar 26, 2016 1:33 PM (in response to Roger Wolff)
You are correct. I will add, I bet the current is the key and is less than 2A. He should check the output rating on the device. It may be only 500 mA.
Re: RPI 3 nousbicepuck Mar 26, 2016 6:00 PM (in response to clem57)1 of 1 people found this helpful
The psu's I use for my pi's are 2.1amp. The voltage drop was from bad cables. I found one good cable that only dropped 0.05 volt. I also figured out that if voltage drops lower than 4.98 volts the usb ports shut off and don't work even if the voltage increases after the drop.
I'm going to retest the pi 3 and lcd once my pi B is done reinstalling with the good cable. It's running at 428 mA while downloading.
Re: RPI 3 nousbicepuck Mar 26, 2016 7:55 PM (in response to icepuck)
Testing the pi 3 with a monitor with what I thought was a good cable that worked with my other pi's dose not work with the pi 3.
Voltage at the psu was 5.12 volts while voltage at the 5v on the gpoi was dropping down to 4.90 volts which is of course enough of a drop to kill the usb.
My logitech wireless keyboard works with the others pi's with no problems.
Re: RPI 3 nousbclem57 Mar 26, 2016 8:03 PM (in response to icepuck)
The Pi 3 was designed with a new power regulator. Wonder if this is a factor?
Re: RPI 3 nousbRoger Wolff Mar 27, 2016 2:11 AM (in response to clem57)
He should check the output rating on the device
In an ideal world,... yes.
I tend to buy cheap-ass 5V USB charger devices from China. Some "claims 2A" devices will deliver over 1.5A before dropping significantly below 5V. However, some "labeled as 2A" will only deliver 300mA, just like their "claims 500mA" brothers.
The opposite is the "motorola charger". It claims something like 800mA, but happily delivers 900mA when you connect the matching motorola cellphone.
So I'm not putting in too much weight on what the label says....
Re: RPI 3 nousbroyleith Mar 27, 2016 3:47 AM (in response to icepuck)
It's usually the USB cable that is to blame. My Raspi 1 with USB wireless mouse, keyboard and WiFi dongle worked fine with a 1m cable. The Raspi 2 takes more power and will only work with a 1/2m cable. The Raspi 3 takes even more because of the on-board BlueTooth. It's all laid out in the specifications.
A Comprehensive Raspberry Pi 3 Benchmark
Even if the PSU produces bang on 5v, the Raspi 3 will still not work with a 2m cable because of the resistance.
I tried to find my measurements, but cannot. I measured the voltage at a USB port by connecting it via a cable to a PCB USB through-hole socket and using a meter on the unsoldered pins. However, here is an excellent post on element14 that covers the issue and gives measurements (you may need to convert from feet to metres).
Raspberry PI:- USB power cables, crashing and other problems
The cables measured in the above link were around 0.3 Ohms to 1.2 Ohms per metre.
I seem to remember that my cables were all around 0.6 Ohms per metre including those sold as 'charging' cables. If a PSU is delivering 5V at 1 Amp via a 1m USB cable of 0.6 Ohms resistance, then the voltage at the Pi is 5V - (0.6 x 1A) = 4.3V.
The maximum power draw from the Pi 1 and the Pi 2 is 1.8A. The maximum power draw from the Pi3 is 2.5A.
For a 5Volt PSU that can actually deliver 2.5A at 5V, the voltage drop across a typical (28AWG thickness) cable - often with 28AWG printed on the side - of one metre in length is 2.5 x 0.6 = 1.5V. The voltage at the Raspberry Pi 3 is 5V -1.5V = 3.5V. This is the worst case at the maximum power draw, but it is a problem even at the minimum power draw for a RPi 3 because of the extra on-board components.
The official power supply is rated at 5.1V which helps to reduce the problem. Don't use a PSU with a higher rated voltage because the Raspi might pop if the connected devices stop taking their normal power draw. The obvious way to solve the problem is to use 25cm cables rather than the typical 180cm cables or the shorter 100cm cables. Always buy cables rated as 'charging' cables, but don't try to use anything longer than 50cm because they are typically still only 28AWG in thickness and have relatively high resistance.
Re: RPI 3 nousbicepuck Mar 30, 2016 7:44 PM (in response to royleith)
I got some 20 AWG charging usb cables from amazon and tried again(without the lcd) with the 2.1a psu, usb works until I try to use Bluetooth which drops the voltage enough to kill the usb ports. Which means I cannot finish setting up Bluetooth.
So, I tried a 2.4a and a 3.4a usb psu and those turned out to be worse than the 2.1a psu. The 2.4a psu was 4.88 volts while the 3.4a psu was 4.91 volts. It looks like the oddball voltage requirements is the problem and not the amperage requirements.
Trying to find a quality psu for the pi 3 is getting to be a real PITA. Element14 has 872 while MCM has 0.
I have a 8a 5 volt psu that's running my RGB leds. 5.09 volts with a 3 amp load, 5.14 volts no load. I'll be trying that next when I have the time. If that doesn't work I'll send my pi 3 back to MCM.
BTW my other pi's say made in the UK while my pi 3 says made in PRC. WTH is that?
Re: RPI 3 nousbclem57 Mar 30, 2016 7:49 PM (in response to icepuck)
No way? That may be part of the problem and I would get an RMA based on the information you put forth here. Mine was UK made from Microcenter since on line was hard to get.
Re: RPI 3 nousbroyleith Mar 31, 2016 1:36 AM (in response to icepuck)
How long were the cables you used? Try using one that is only a quarter of a meter long.
A 1.8 meter cable can easily lose 1 volt.
If your 20 AWG cable was 0.3 Ohms per meter and (a typical) 1.8 meters long, then, at the full current rating of your 2.1A PSU and an output of 5Volts, the voltage loss along the cable will be:
2.1 x 1.8 x 0.3 Volts
= 1.134 Volts
Even though the PSU is producing 5 Volts @ 2.1 Amps, the Pi will see 5 Volts - 1.134 Volts = 3.866 Volts.
With a quarter of a meter cable the voltage at the Pi would be 4.842 Volts. Even with a good 28 AWG cable it only drops to 4.7 Volts.
The approved PSU produces 5.1 Volts which makes the loss at high currents even more acceptable.
Bear in mind that the maximum power draw from the Pi 1 and the Pi 2 is 1.8A. The maximum power draw from the Pi3 is 2.5A.
Re: RPI 3 nousbpeteroakes Mar 31, 2016 11:01 AM (in response to royleith)
Not that it will make much difference, but the official PSU for the PI is 5.1V, not 5V and if you use the official PSU it has a good sized cable and works well
If you are using a Standard USB power adapter and a not so good USB cable, you can be experiencing a whole bunch of power related issues
I have found the cables for a Samsung Phone to be very good (USB2, not the USB3 ones as USB3 wont fit of course )
Back in 2014 I did a complete post on the subject, you can find it here Raspberry PI:- USB power cables, crashing and other problems , it seems people are still having the same issues
Re: RPI 3 nousbclem57 Mar 31, 2016 11:37 AM (in response to peteroakes)
I know because we (top members at least) see the same posts over and over. It kind of makes me feel like a parrot.
Re: RPI 3 nousbicepuck Apr 6, 2016 7:31 PM (in response to peteroakes)
I got my "official" raspberry pi power supply today and the rainbow colored square disappeared but the usb ports still do not work.
Now what do I do with it?
Re: RPI 3 nousbroyleith Apr 7, 2016 11:23 AM (in response to icepuck)
Hi Dan,
I looked at the specification of the PSU,
and found that the connecting cable was of 18 AWG gauge and 1500mm long.
The following site,
gave the resistance of 4.5 feet (about 1500 mm) of 18 AWG cable has a resistance of 0.029 Ohms.
At the maximum current for the Pi 3 of 2.5 Amps, the voltage loss would be 0.0725 x 2 Volts because there are two wires in the connection. The 5.1 Volts of the PSU would drop to 4.955 Volts at the Pi. I'm definitely ordering one of these!
Just to be certain, measure the voltage at the GPIO 5V pin after the PI has booted and make sure it is still around 5V (the actual voltage at the PI is higher, but I think there is an on-board regulator feeding the pin and the USB port).
It sounds as though the software is at fault. I suggest you download the latest Rasbian OS and flash it to the microSD card. Perhaps the voltage loss of your original power system has caused a failure to load the USB drivers.

No. There is no regulator for the 5V. The incoming 5V is passed through a fuse (should be "automatic resetting"), and then passed on to USB (through some more components on the newer raspberries) and directly to the GPIO.
There IS a measurable voltage drop over the fuse, I expect the "new" components in the USB area to have less drop, but it will still be measurable.
Re: RPI 3 nousbicepuck Apr 14, 2016 6:25 PM (in response to royleith)
I downloaded the image and used windisk32 imager and still no working usb ports. I got another pi 3 and psu to go with it, the second pi 3 say's made in the u.k. and not p.r.c. like the first one Before I ask MCM for a replacement or refund should I bother to compare voltages' between the two pi's?
I recently got a pi 3 with the 7" touch screen. I set it up with berryboot and installed jessie. I got to were I needed to use a keyboard and that is when I found out the usb ports didn't work.
I went through the following link to try to fix it but nothing there helped.
I've tried keyboards and mice from working linux computers, I even tried a powered usb hub and nothing. I've tried running without the touch screen(via ssh) nothing is recognized.
I've tried power supplies from my other pi's with change. Do I need to post dmesg output? Is it possible I got a bum Pi?

Mariachi mecca: Mexico City's Plaza Garibaldi soldiers on
Driving toward Plaza Garibaldi at dusk, the square confronts you before you even arrive.
Men in bright outfits and tight trousers with buckles running down the legs flag down your car and offer you a song.
Being accosted in the car makes for an unusual encounter for first-timers here, especially as the plaza is still a few blocks away.
Mexico City's mariachi mecca is tinged with a late afternoon glow and there are already crowds of people gathering for an evening of song.
Around a thousand mariachis play in the square at different times, serenading couples and small families with aching ballads for a price. People are drawn by the unique experience of having an entire band play and sing directly to them -- if only for a few minutes.
Violinist Cesar Coronado has been playing for 30 years. He arrives at 5 p.m. and his work -- paid for by various comers and goers in the square who pay for song or two -- ebbs and flows throughout the evening.
"We don't have a specific timetable, there is no pattern," he says. "What we want is for people to leave happy -- especially the tourists from abroad so they can get to know our music."
Tenampa: Mexico's mariachi mecca
Unlike most other mariachis, Coronado has a residence inside the legendary Salon Tenampa, which proudly dominates one side of the plaza.
The roots of mariachi music in Mexico City can be traced to this bar. It was opened in 1925 by Juan Hernandez, who began luring mariachis from his native Guadalajara to play what was then an obscure regional genre.
They began a habit of having one band play outside in the square while another entertained inside -- and Garibaldi's tradition was born. Later, when Mexican cinema began making films featuring famous singers, the music became ingrained in the nation's culture.
Walk inside Tenampa and you're immediately hit by a deep sense of history.
The walls are covered in murals of onetime mariachi heroes and the bar area is preserved from its golden era, with red leather booths and waiters in bow ties.
You'll also get frisked for weapons on your way in.
The pat down alerts you to the underside of Garibaldi Plaza. The area has been in slow decline for decades and is need of regeneration.
For some, its contemporary image is of a seedy square full of drunks, where crime has made the atmosphere dangerous.
The plaza is adjacent to a neighborhood known for being unsafe, but a heavy police presence shows the government is taking steps to secure a tourist icon.
"For many years free consumption of alcohol was allowed in the square," says Isaias Muñoz, a manager at Tenampa for 15 years. "That created a bad image because sometimes you would have 3,000 people in the square drinking at the same time and that will create problems."
Last year, a law restricted alcohol consumption in public places.
"The image has changed," Muñoz continues. "We are turning it around again, to what Garibaldi once was: a place for leisure, family and culture."
Others strongly disagree and the alcohol issue has become a flashpoint.
"The mariachi is in crisis right now," says Antonio Corrubia, leader of the local mariachi union.
"When the authorities made the decision that people can't walk around with a beer or rum, fewer people come and the musicians have less work. I have colleagues who work here all night and make 10 dollars."
On a recent Saturday night in Garibaldi, the square was dry and only half full. But some tourists still came to take in the experience -- with or without alcohol.
"I love the atmosphere," said one French tourist. "It's fiesta."
Inside Tenampa -- a licensed bar -- the party was in full force.
Cesar and his nine-piece band were engaged by a long table of well-heeled Mexican men for an hour. Intensity was poured into every song, which the band members have been playing for decades
At $10 a song, money was clearly not a consideration for the group of revelers -- Bacardi bottles littered the table and men downed 50/50 Cuba libres in one gulp.
Drunken hugging and singing inevitably followed -- a show of genuine love of the music, not an ironic appreciation of its sometimes kitsch image.
At the bar, staff poured drinks with the battle-hardened demeanor of Fallujah veterans. Draft beer, Cuba libres and, of course, tequila.
There was an even mix of men and women in the room and the bar is one of the few places in Mexico where rich and poor share a Saturday night out together.
For Cesar, a long evening of playing still awaited -- things at Tenampa normally wind down at 4 a.m.
"We have a saying in Mexico," he said, placing a plug into his ear (he stands next to the trumpeter). "Do it until the body gives up."
Despite a shifting culture and more stringent local rules around this traditional art form in a classic Mexico City plaza, no one appears to be giving up any time soon.

It's a non Disney movie! It is a shame that this movie did not get as much recognition as it deserves. It's one of the greatest non-Disney animated film. Enjoy.

Candace Holden and the rest of her family had just turned in for the night after a Thanksgiving feast.
Candace Holden and the rest of her family had just turned in for the night after a Thanksgiving feast.
�We had a big Thanksgiving,� she said. �We were stuffed. We usually don�t go to sleep that early.�
Next thing she knew, she was startled by screams of a fire in the home.
Eight people escaped uninjured from a Thanksgiving night house fire in Havelock, but the home at 122 Karol Drive is considered a total loss.
�It spread so fast,� Holden said. �I was throwing kids out of the house like footballs. The only thing we saved were the kids and a TV. We tried to go back in, but we couldn�t.�
One of the family�s cats survived the fire, but one did not.
�He was gray, but had those white boots and streaks of white across his face,� Holden said of her lost cat. �He would play fetch.�
Holden, her family and friends came back to the home Friday morning to see what could be salvaged. She put a mask over her face, walked in the front door and turned left into her charred bedroom.
�Oh look, I found a book,� she said. �And there�s a pair of shoes, but I don�t think I can reach them.�
She found one of her children�s baby books and began flipping through the pages. The cover and outside of the pages were charred, but the interior pages were OK, including some pictures in the book. Her laptop computer was burned in the fire, but she hoped to somehow salvage pictures and videos of her children from the hard drive.
The ceiling had caved in, and the walls were black with soot. Her carpeted floor was a pile of wet and burnt insulation from the attic.
The back bedrooms were also covered in black soot. The family tried to salvage some clothes.
�I don�t know that we�ll be able to get the smoke out,� Holden said.
Holden was renting the home and does not have renter�s insurance. She said the depth of what the family lost is hard to comprehend.
�The kids have no toys,� she said. �We don�t have any body wash. All our medicine burned up. I�m going to have to call the pharmacy. I have no I.D., no driver�s license, no Social Security cards, no birth certificates. I don�t have any shoes.�
Rick Zaccardelli, Havelock fire chief, said the fire started about 10:30 p.m. when a child playing with a lighter set some bed linens on fire in a bedroom. The flames quickly spread into the attic of the home. He said when firefighters arrived, flames were coming through the roof.
�We had it under control in about 20 minutes with the help of Cherry Point,� Zaccardelli said. �The guys did a good job of getting it under control. Thank God no one was hurt.�
Zaccardelli is hoping to get the family help through the Red Cross.
Anyone wishing to help the family directly can call Holden at 252-772-3615.
After the fire, Holden, who is 21 weeks pregnant, and her family spent the night in a one-bedroom apartment belonging to her grandmother. She said trying to sleep proved difficult.
�I closed my eyes, and all I could see was orange,� she said.

During their trip to Moscow in October, Paul Prewitt and his wife, Lucinda, visited Alexander Garden, adjacent to the Kremlin, where they watched the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Eternal Flame. The memorial is dedicated to Russian soldiers killed during World War II.
The synchronized goose-stepping of the soliders was underscored by the cadence of their footsteps, Prewitt said.

A family is a proving ground of sorts for the lessons that life teaches. It is our parents, through a heartbeat of heredity and a history of heritage, who generally supply us with the basic building blocks required to achieve and succeed in life.
A family is a proving ground of sorts for the lessons that life teaches. It is our parents, through a heartbeat of heredity and a history of heritage, who generally supply us with the basic building blocks required to achieve and succeed in life.
The thing is, though, that what most kids are interested in learning really has nothing to do with what their parents might want them to learn. And at the moment in time that parents are desperately trying to cement the most critical building blocks into place, kids are trying just as hard to sledgehammer them apart.
Most kids anyway. But not Trenton Cochran, a 13 year-old seventh grader from Gardner, Kansas. At a very young age, Trenton's little sister, Lindsay was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy, a recessive and genetic disease caused by a mutation in the gene necessary for the survival of motorneurons. In Lindsay's case, she was diagnosed with SMA Type II – leaving her with significant muscle and mobility impairment, and confined to a wheelchair since the age of two. There is no treatment. There is no cure.
Just don't tell Trenton she's different.
"She's just a normal kid," Trenton Cochran told me. "And I would do anything for her."
Walt Cochran, a high school history teacher and Trenton and Lindsay's father, agrees.
"We knew our lives would be a little different than they used to be," Walt Cochran said. "For all of us. We knew Lindsay's life would be hard. But with the right priorities and values, we knew we could help her overcome any difficulties."
For Lindsay's mom, Tracy, the adjustment was a bit more challenging.
"I shed some tears at first," Tracy said. "I would look out to the backyard and see the playhouse that Lindsay would never be able to climb up into. But together I knew we'd find ways to do anything."
And for the Cochran family, actions speak more loudly than words. Last summer, KLOVE Radio, a contemporary Christian radio station headquartered in Rocklin, California, announced its first ever "Unsung Hero Award" would be presented to Trenton and Lindsay, now 10 years-old. The award was based on a remarkable and viral video produced as part of a local "overcoming obstacles" series in the Cochrans' parish.
In that video, big brother Trenton becomes so passionate about his devotion and his fidelity toward his little sister that his emotions completely break. His love for his sister is both gripping and inspiring.
"We make a good pair," Trenton Cochran told me. "I'm very introverted and she is so funny and energetic. My life wouldn't be the same without her."
A profound statement from such a young boy. Only when you talk with his parents, you understand precisely where his insight comes from.
"Being a teacher, I see a lot of broken families," Walt Cochran said. "I see broken families with broken kids. And we always see the stories of murder and molestation on the front pages and on the nightly news. But this video was different. I think people identified with it because it shows that kids today do care. That you can make the most out of the hand you've been dealt. That there is always hope if you just know where to look."
The family is a bit overwhelmed as to why their video is receiving so much attention. Yet their humbleness is exceeded only by their conviction.
"We use to ask 'Why us?' " Tracy Cochran added. "Until we began to realize 'Why not us?' Everyone has heartache and hardship. Everyone has obstacles they have to overcome. Lindsay's hardships may be greater than most, but she very rarely complains. Trenton and Lindsay are not sure why this video has become such a big deal. Their relationship in the video is real and it is a very normal way of life for them. And I'd like to think that maybe this perspective comes from us."
And that's the thing. Whatever lies ahead for Lindsay Cochran, a life of great hope and a life filled with some uncertainty, she has learned from two extraordinary parents and one remarkable big brother, exactly what it takes to live well, to love and be loved.
"It's great having a big brother like Trenton," Lindsay told me. "He helps me all the time. He's always there when I need him."

Thanks for looking. About the only race place that makes sense for snowboarding (given the time of year) would be Queenstown.
TAR 5 is possible, I guess. I ran through the sequence and didn't see any snowboarders. But the sun was out that day (in patches).

Meringue Mushrooms
These delectable little mushrooms are usually found "growing" around the base of a bûche de Noël [BOOSH duh noh-EHL] or yule log - a traditional French Christmas cake that is shaped and decorated to look like a log. But by themselves, they make a perfect pick-up dessert at a cocktail party. Light, yet flavorful and cute enough to spark lively conversations amongst your guests. Humidity is the enemy of meringues, so be sure to make these crispy treats on a low humidity day. If humidity is a problem in your area, make them within a few hours of their serving time.
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Position two racks in the middle and lower third of the oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, and set aside until needed.
Place egg whites in the clean work bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with a clean whisk attachment; whisk on medium-low speed until frothy. Add cream of tartar, increase speed to medium and continue whisking until soft peaks form; with mixer running, gradually add the superfine sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. Increase speed to medium-high, and continue whisking until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Remove bowl from the stand mixer; using a large rubber spatula, balloon whisk or slotted skimmer, fold nut mixture and almond extract into the meringue. Spoon meringue into a large piping bag fitted with a 1/4-inch plain tip.
To pipe the mushroom caps, hold the bag perpendicular to the baking sheet with the tip touching the parchment. Squeeze with an even steady pressure, gradually raising the tip as the meringue builds up around it, but keeping the tip submerged in the meringue. Form a mound, approximately 1 1/2-inches in diameter and 1/2-inch high. When the mound is the proper size, stop squeezing, then raise the tip. Smooth the point on the top of the mound with a lightly moistened fingertip. To pipe the stems, squeeze out a dime-sized mound of meringue, then pull the bag up making a 3/4-inch high cone; stop squeezing, and pull the pastry bag straight up, leaving a small tail. (Note: Some stems may fall over or bend during baking, so make a few extra.)
Immediately place the baking sheets in the oven; bake until the meringues are lightly browned and dry to the touch, about 1 hour. Remove the baking sheets from the oven, and place on cooling racks; allow to cool.
When cool, use the tip of a small knife to make a small hole in the underside of each mushroom cap. To assemble the mushrooms, place the melted chocolate in a small piping bag (or parchment paper cone), and pipe a small amount of chocolate into the hole in each cap. Attach stems by inserting them into the chocolate-filled holes. Set aside, and allow chocolate to dry. Store in an airtight container away from humidity. (Note: Best served the day they are made, and best made on a day with low or no humidity.)
Tips and Techniques
* If you do not have superfine sugar, place granulated sugar in a food processor and process until very fine.
** To Melt Chocolate: Double Boiler Method: Place the chopped chocolate (and butter, if required) in the top portion of a double boiler. Fill the lower portion of the double boiler one-fourth full with hot water; place it over the heat, and bring to the boil. As soon as the water boils, remove the pot from the heat; place the upper portion of the double boiler containing the chocolate on top of the hot water. Stir occasionally while the chocolate melts. Microwave Method: Chop the chocolate (and

I was just checking the hottest search terms at Google Trends and was amazed to see how Obama dominated 'Today's Hot Trends'. From the top ten list, 7 out of 10 'searches' are related to the Democratic Party presidential candidate (see below).
I played a little bit and compared Obama to two giant tech companies namely Apple and Microsoft, and here's the result:
Now, who do you think will be the next US president? If you ask me, it will surely be not this man (see photo below).

Wordtracker vs. KeywordSpy
Dozens of keyword tools proliferated nowadays in the market, but two of the most talked and raging in SEO forums and blogs are Wordtracker and KeywordSpy.
To gauge these tools' individual potential, I subscribed to them and did a couple of tests and runs to prove their worth in keyword research. Allow me to enumerate the things I found out.
Obviously, the monthly subscription for Wordtracker ($49.36) is almost half-lower than KeywordSpy ($89.95). If price was the only determining edge, Wordtracker would be the preferred system. If you're on a budget, Wordtracker is the obvious choice since it's less than half the price of KeywordSpy. It also has flexible pricing schemes that allow you to subscribe for about $8 for a day or $250 for a year.
But if you are test and analyze the results with reality (like testing in Google), it will surely appear that KeywordSpy has more accurate keyword data, more frequent updates than WordTracker. Also, if you are to compare the interface, KeywordSpy is more user-friendly and well-designed. Oh, I like the blue theme of the site! (Excuse the personal comment, anyway).
Going back to the discussion, Wordtracker helps you find related terms and keyword phrases by offering a built-in Thesaurus and Lateral Search. The Lateral Search allows you to look at keywords which are thought to be related to your market or industry. But then, KeywordSpy has features such as PPC (estimated cost per click), Ad Rank and Competitor Count which are valuable factors in gauging the effectiveness of keywords. And surely, Wordtracker doesn't give competitor keywords which KeywordSpy boasts in its byline.
The KeywordSpy Gold Membership Account offers their subscribers 2000 keyword and domain queries and 50,000 exports per day. It's nearly impossible to hit that limit in one day, unless you are to build your own keyword tool on top of it that provides some automated queries. In other words, you will probably never hit the daily limit with KeywordSpy. But then, the Wordtracker allows API keyword research access, which KeywordSpy doesn't provide.
Both keyword tools offer a Free Trial for you to test their respective services. So for those of you who are curious you can do a dry run, but then of course their free trial is always a limited access.
WordTracker only grabs data from MetaCrawler and Dogpile (a couple meta search engines) making KeywordSpy better for it pulls down its keyword data from major search engines and databases. Since Wordtracker only gather data from small groups of the World Wide Web, their data sampling errors are magnified. Sometimes they will make low volume terms seem more important than they are, and other times some terms will not show up.
Also, Wordtracker's exclusive country keywords is limited to United Kingdom region, compare to KeywordSpy, which (aside from UK) has a set of regional databases- US, Canada, Australia and South Africa. And just recently, I noticed that KeywordSpy launched its graphical representation of PPC Competition in certain regions which means they are really into integration of ground breaking features.
Although, the Lateral and Thesaurus Search make Wordtracker a brilliant tool, prior to the writing of this, I decided to settle with my subscription to KeywordSpy, because the competitors' keywords I dig through the site are trove of treasures that bring lots of conversions for my sites.

How To Plant and Keep an Indoor Lemon Tree
When winter comes to Italy, the lemon trees potted in terra cotta get moved indoors. Every large estate has a sunny, ventilated room to store their lemons, known as a limonaia. Winter is when the trees bloom, and I've always imagined a room full of these as exquisite to the point of intoxicating. Worried about cold snaps, I've brought my Meyer lemon tree indoor and the smell of blossoms on just one tree greet me every time I walk in the house.
Sweeter citrus trees like oranges and tangerines need more heat, but acidic ones like lemons, limes and kumquats do very well inside. My favorites for keeping in sunny windows are Meiwa kumquat, Kaffir lime, and probably the most popular indoor fruit tree, the dwarf Improved Meyer Lemon. Keep these in a sunny window.
Order Your Tree
When ordering your tree, find out how large it will be. They are usually sold by their age or container size. Purchase one that's two-three years old (the tree should be at least 3 feet high by then) and plant them in a container only 2 inches larger than the root ball. You can order these from your local nursery or Four Winds Grower or Raintree Nursery.
What You Need
Citrus Tree
Potting Soil
Landscaper cloth (optional)
Mist Bottle
Mulch (optional)
Equipment or Tools
Drill or hammer and nails
1. Find a saucer that is larger than the container you plan to use for the tree, put some pebbles on it, add water, and place it under the plant. This way the roots aren't soaking, but the plant gets moisture from the evaporating water.
2. Make sure your planter has drainage holes in it. If it doesn't, then be sure to drill or hammer holes into it.
3. If you'd like to, cut and layer a strip of landscaper's cloth over the bottom. This helps the dirt from flowing out when you water.
4. Fill the planter about ½ full with potting soil. (See this post for mixing your own potting soil.)
5. Remove the citrus tree from its nursery pot and gently massage its roots so they can spread more easily.
6. Place the plant into the pot and then fill in around it with more soil. Press down around the base of the plant. Don't cover the trunk with soil or leave any roots exposed.
7. After planting, water it thoroughly.
8. Indoor citrus trees like to be misted with water regularly. I tend to mist all my indoor plants when it rains outside so they don't feel like they're missing anything. If you live in a drier climate, mist more often. (And if you have a cat, a loving spray from the water bottle helps keep them off the tree!)
9. Mulch is great for outdoor plants as it helps retain moisture and helps protect the roots during the winter months. You don't need mulch for indoor plants, but I like the look of this colorful beach glass, and admittedly, this mulch is more decorative than anything else.
10. When you have a cluster of tiny lemons, pull about ⅔ of them from the tree so the remaining ones will grow into a full size fruit.
