Indiana Criminal Justice Graduate Programs on Campus Programs
Criminal Justice Graduate Programs on Campus Programs that are offered on campus offer students a hands-on learning environment for more in depth study in the field of criminology and the legal system. Increasing concern over homeland security and emphasis on education in law enforcement agencies has led to a greater demand for qualified criminal justice administrators. If you already have a bachelor's degree from a regionally or nationally accredited college and want to potentially further your career by earning an advanced criminal justice degree, there are a variety of options in terms of graduate programs to choose from. Choosing a Criminal Justice Graduate degree should align with your interests and current level of academics. Whether you are interested in working in cyber crime, forensics, investigation, law enforcement administration, organizational security, legal studies, homeland security, terrorism and mediation, or public administration and public policy, these are all directions that taking the next step might lead to.
Why Choose a Campus-Based Criminal Justice Graduate Program?
Today's Criminal Justice Graduate Schools often schedule classes in the evenings and on weekends to accommodate the needs of working students. This can be quite an incentive, especially if you like the idea of a social learning environment instead of a web-based one. While undergraduate degree classes may be fairly large, it is not unusual that graduate-level ones be smaller with more face-to-face time with faculty, and opportunity to increase your networks. Plus, being onsite gives you access to the college or university's facilities – libraries, learning laboratories, gymnasiums, and social services are possible perks.
In terms of finding Criminal Justice Graduate Schools, initiate a location search on GradSchools.com; use the city, state
or country tabs to get started browsing listings.
What Types of Campus Criminal Justice Degrees are there?
To narrow down your search, choosing the type of Criminal Justice grad degree you require is helpful; masters, graduate certificates and PhD programs are available. Naturally, there are some things you can do to prepare for your search. For instance, in the event you are thinking about your master's degree, you probably already know what specialization in the criminal justice field interests you most. This may be management, investigative or technology-oriented, or you may be more interested in the justice system, or even come from a social work background. Whatever your chosen profession, find out which academic path supports it. If you will be seeking a doctorate degree, make sure your master's degree is in line with this decision.
Criminal Justice Graduate Programs on Campus Programs
While you may earn a general master's degree in the field, you have a broad choice of specializations - and your particular specialization will determine what universities give you the best options. Some schools may have a stand-out public administration program, while others may have a great reputation for forensic investigation or homeland security.
In general, if a program is designated as a Master of Arts, it may have a more liberal arts focus; Law enforcement administration, organizational security, legal studies, homeland security, terrorism and mediation and public policy usually are offered as a Master of Arts degree.
If, on the other hand, it is designated as a Master of Science in Criminal Justice, it may emphasize more research or analysis. Specializations such as forensic science, criminology, cyber-crime and behavior analysis and forensic psychology are usually offered as part of a Master of Science degree. Note that some schools have a dual degree option that combines a JD with an MS CJ.
Listings might include campus programs such as Master of Public Administration: Criminal Justice Concentration, Master of Science in Criminal Justice Administration, Criminology and Justice with Sociology, Criminal Justice MA. Request information from each graduate school to check out their course curriculum, and whether there is any freedom to tailor the program to suit your goals. Since there are thesis and non-thesis options, if you plan to pursue a PhD, it may be advisable to choose a thesis program.
Campus Criminal Justice PhD Programs
Doctoral degree programs in Criminal Justice are designed to develop students' advanced research skills and knowledge of theories, trends and practices in the field. Individuals who complete a Ph.D. program may be prepared for work in academia, high-level administration or field-specific research. Typically, this level of academics involves a lot of research. Some programs may be exclusively focused on the study of criminal justice and offer specializations in such areas as organizational leadership, public administration, behavioral science or homeland security. Others may offer criminal justice as a concentration through a larger public safety or business administration Ph.D. program
Campus Graduate Certificates in Criminal Justice
Earning a graduate certificate in criminal justice such as an MBA with Criminal Justice, MSBA Criminal Justice Leadership or Law Enforcement Leadership might not only boost your credentials but also, help you cultivate expertise.

Guy walks into an AT&T store and says, "I want a touch-screen smartphone, but I'm concerned about the iPhone 4 antenna issues." Until the Samsung Galaxy S Captivate, AT&T sales staffers could only perform stuttering a Ralph Kramden prevarication. But will iPhone purchasers or returners be captivated by the Captivate's capabilities? It's a more social-network-centric device than iPhone, with a large 4-inch, crisp "super" AMOLED screen. While it suffers in a basic features comparison with iPhone, that's also like arguing that U2 sucks because they haven't sold as many records as The Beatles.
Features and Design
A slimming black slab superphone, Samsung's Captivate contains nearly all the modern cell Android 2.1 amenities: 7.2 Mbps 3G connectivity, WiFi, a speedy 1GHz Hummingbird processor, 5-megapuxel camera and HD (720p resolution, 30 fps) video recorder, Bluetooth 3.0, six-axis sensor for enhanced gaming, 16GB internal memory, and SWYPE text input. Captivate also includes something Samsung calls "Social Hub," which aggregate updates from your Facebook, Twitter and MySpace accounts.
The Captivate's main physical advantage over the iPhone is its screen. It's a 4-inch super AMOLED display, compared to the iPhone's 3.5-inch LCD display. The Captivate displays brighter, more accurate colors than the iPhone; For instance, the red band on ESPN's home page is actually red, as opposed to the nearly maroon rendering on the iPhone. However, the Captivate's whites tend toward the blue, and the iPhone's screen is generally brighter, especially out in the sun. With its 960 x 640 pixel Retina resolution, reading text on the iPhone 4 is also easier on the eyes. But you'd only notice the brightness and readability differences in a side-by-side comparison, and neither is a deal breaker.
The curvier Captivate is around a quarter-inch taller and wider than the iPhone, and barely perceptively thicker. None of this makes much real-world difference, especially considering the extra half-inch of screen real estate. Its rear resembles the old Sidekick. Even though it's slightly bigger, the Captivate's all-plastic housing makes it a surprisingly noticeable 0.3 ounces lighter than the iPhone 4.
To the left of the earpiece are two small windows: These are light sensors, not a front-facing camera array, which the Captivate surprisingly lacks.
One other annoying drawback is the backlighting on the front touch control, such as menu, home, back, and search. The touch control backlighting goes off while the display is still on, rendering them nearly invisible in artificial light. We often had to touch the area twice, once just to activate the backlight so we could see where the controls were. This became increasingly frustrating the longer we played with the Captivate, and almost became a deal breaker.
There are only two physical controls: the volume rocker on the left side, and the power switch on the right, which doubles as a lock and hold key in certain apps.
The microUSB jack is at the top, next to the headphone jack, which makes it less awkward to use the phone when it's plugged into a PC for charging and syncing.
AT&T has crammed Captivate with video options, including the oddly not-yet-renamed Cingular Video (it's called "Mobile Video," but connects to a Cingular Video URL), the subscription-based MobiTV (you get a free trial period), and the yet-to-be-implemented Samsung Media Hub, from which you'll be able to rent or buy movies and TV shows. Unfortunately, most the low-res offerings from these services don't exactly challenge the AMOLED screen.
Like most 3G phones, YouTube videos default play in standard resolution, requiring you to drill through the menu to get the high-quality version that helps show off the AMOLED technology.
Samsung also has included a media app called AllShare, which lets you play a file from your phone on another media player, play a file from a server on the phone, or play a file from a server onto another player, using the phone as a remote – all requiring Wi-Fi and DLNA.
The bulk of the audio emanates from a rear speaker, which produces plenty of volume. But be careful where you put your hand, or you'll muffle the sound.

Enjoy a unique experience "flying" in comfortable and safe gondolas along the forest canopy and its hanging gardens.
Bordering the northern section of Braulio Carrillo's National Park and only 50 minutes away from San Jose, this place hosts one of the richest canopy communities in the world and offers a relatively-unknown world of great beauty and extraordinary biological diversity.
After a late morning departure, you'll get there at midday, just in time for lunch. Scheduled first there is a very interesting video presentation showing visitors how this great and ambitious project was built without having to cut down the native forest. A little later, your experienced guide will take you on a 30 minute easy hike along the trails, while explaining you some of the complex and intriguing relations displayed between plants, insects and other kind of animals. Finally you will participate in a one hour plus ride through different heights of the forest canopy. The tram ride is silent, so you'll be able to appreciate not only the sights but the sounds of the rainforest.
Each one of the gondolas can carry 4 - 5 passengers plus one of the accompanying resident guides. When visiting our country, we recommend you not to miss this wonderful trip. Excellent for filming and taking pictures.

The family history of Dr. Martin H. Deranian, whose papers are preserved at DCA as the Hagop Martin Deranian papers, 1931–2008, has been the topic of a recent article in Tufts Now.
"Resilient Women" talks about Armenian women and the Armenian genocide, in particular the experiences of two women who inspired Joyce Van Dyke's play 'Deported' first performed in Boston in 2012. The two women who were deported and eventually immigrated to the USA were friends: Elmas Sarajian, the playwrite's grandmother, and Vartar Nazarian, the mother of Dr. Martin Deranian. Dr. Deranian taught dental history at Tufts School of Dental Medicine for 40 years and still has a dental practice in Worcester, Mass.
DCA is currently working with Dr. Deranian to obtain, among other material, his unique collection of diary-like binders which go back to his student years and which include much of his family's history and Dr. Deranian's consistent efforts regarding Holocaust and Genocide Studies.

The Indianapolis Association of Wabash Men (IAWM) made their annual trip to Victory Field and watched the Indians "smoke" the Charlotte Knights, 17-11, on Friday night, July 23rd.
The Indians' bats weren't the only thing on fire. With the temperatures in the middle 90s and the heat index at 105, we found section 119 bathed in the glow of...direct sunlight. A "pore-opening" experience to be sure.
But the weather didn't deter the fun. The Wabash group included Wabash CFO Larry Griffith and his wife, IAWM president Larry Landis and his wife, alumni of all ages, a couple of families, and two members of the Class of 2014 who will arrive on campus in a month.
The Indians are also selling Sun King Brewery's TWR which greatly pleased the crowd.

Nicole is your samba Venus. And your samba fire. And your samba desire. For realsies. (ABC Medianet)
This week's "Dancing With the Stars" looked primed to melt our screens with a night of volcanic hip-shaking samba and aggressive Argentine tango, chased with a goofier than "Grease" swing dance marathon to cool down the ballroom heat.
Which is all just so much soggy matchsticks. Because once again, the dance-floor magma that is Nicole Scherzinger torched the competition with another entertaining dose of white-hot shake and wicked shimmy.
I almost feel sorry for the other celebs scorched in her fiery wake. But with the suckiest of the suck now a distant memory, it's time for our pulse-quickening Pussycat Doll to burn the rest down one by one.
Hit the jump for Nicole's heat and the poor celebs who brought more fizzle than sizzle.
The night began with a slow enough burn as DWTS Ken doll Jake Pavelka delivered a samba that was Basic Jake Action: earnest but flawed and wrapped in a boring shell of meh. Surprisingly, the usually fleeter of feet Evan Lysacek lost his samba and it couldn't be found, though he could be excused the disorientation on account of the mild concussion he suffered during rehearsals. Both gents netted straight snoozer 7's for their respective efforts.
Speaking of smacks to the head, hee-larry-us Niecy Nash delivered a quite-good Argentine tango that combined the occasional silly (a bite from a rose and lunge for a cookie) with the frequent sharp (hey, actual precision). Which of course means the judges didn't buy it because funny people don't prosper on this show, remember? Know what's really funny? These same judges buying the "Star Search" cheese of Erin Andrews' what-the-what? samba by giving it two 9s and a 7. Really?
At least Chad Ochocinco finally rose above mediocrity with his strong Argentine tango, though dance partner Cheryl Burke did more than her share of the heavy lifting by, you know, simply being Cheryl Burke. I mean, yowza.
But even Cheryl's usual wow was no match for what's become the usual wow of Nicole Scherzinger.
Along with partner Derek Hough, Nicole set the ballroom ablaze with a sizzling samba that blinded mere mortals with its white hot intensity. Oh yes, really. Her lightning hip action and primal precision would have likely netted her at least a 28 out of 30 had it not been for judge Len Goodman dinging her with a 7. Why? Because someone has to bring her down to earth with a pointless thud week after week or she'll run away with this show completely and extinguish any and all semblance of drama the DWTS powers-that-be hope to milk out of what's really no longer a competition but simply a boat race with Nicole miles ahead of all the pretty also-rans.
OK, deep breath...
So, that leaves some poor soul to follow Nicole. I think it was Pamela Anderson, but I couldn't really tell because a) in her now-tired character shtick she sported a brunette wig to play Sophia Loren this week. Which b) didn't help her knock-kneed Argentine tango with the sharp umph necessary to keep her out of the bottom two. And besides, c) I found the dance music far more enjoyable, if only because I've never heard Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence" played on the accordion like I was suddenly at the coolest bagel stand in all of Paris.
Oh yeah, that stupid swing dance marathon. Everybody danced at the same time and yada yada yada Nicole was the last celeb swinging. Nothing shock. Move along.
So now the fun part: Who's next for the chop? Gotta go with the missus and say buh-bye to Jake because he had the lowest total score and the most forgettable showing. Pam or Niecy could very well join Jake in the bottom two, though I think DWTS Ken has delivered his last noble yawn.
And so the slow burn to Nicole's victory begins...

Then we made a call to a gentlemen who maintains the cemetery records. He offered to meet us there to show her where the remainder of her family was. Low and behold, there were no markers for five members, but all were around this one particular stone.
Diana teaches Russian at the University of Mass, Boston. She also has a website where she shares the remarkable Burgin history, http://www.dianaburgin.com/, if you would like to learn more about this branch of the family tree.
Diana is in the process of writing a book about her mother and the interesting world of music in which her mother lived and the talented people within it. We plan on keeping in touch.

Cedar Falls High School graduation is excluding Beethoven's "Joyful, Joyful". Why? Karl Gilbertson is a parent with questions. Andrew Clopton is the VP of the Choir which wanted to sing it. Should the school cave to the ACLU? Not so fast says Jeff Sertize from the ACLJ singing the song could cost us.

Ladies, get out your grandmas' hankies: Prince Harry is officially off the market. The third in line to the throne is so off the market, in fact, that he was recently seen, and photographed (obvs), getting super cozy with his new girlfriend -- Cressida Bonas -- during a recent trip to Switzerland. Sigh. Another prince snatched up before our very common eyes.
But enough brooding. Let's celebrate Prince Harry's new romance. And moreover, let's stalk. Who is Cressida Bonas? (Besides someone who bares a slight resemblance to Chelsy Davy?) Here are 5 things to know about Harry's hot new ladyfriend.
1. She's friends with Harry's cousin. Actually, the way Cressida and Harry met is through Princess Eugenie -- the two women are friends. And this is a big plus for Harry, as that means Cressida has already reportedly "passed the test of being discreet".
2. She's from "fancy" lineage. Cressida Bonas is no random girl, friends. No, no, no. Her father isn't a king, but he is a successful entrepreneur and businessman who studied at Harrow and Oxford; and her mother is Lady Mary-Gaye Georgiana Lorna Curzon, a '60s "It" girl and an heir to the incredibly wealthy Curzon banking family.
3. Prince William had a crush on her sister. Could make things a tad awkward. Cressida's half-sister, actress Isabella Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe (who's currently engaged to Richard Branson's son, Sam), was supposedly an unrequited crush of Prince William's back in his pre-Kate Middleton days (at least, according to British tabloids, she was). Imagine that -- Prince William actually had unrequited crushes.
4. She's more than just a pretty face. In addition to being a model and actress, Bonas graduated from Leeds University with a degree in dance.
5. She and Prince Harry have supposedly been dating since May. (Yes, during the whole Vegas debacle.) The two were reportedly just casual then, and have only gotten serious in recent months, but still -- who knew it was possible to keep a royal secret?
Are you bummed Prince Harry's off the market?

Jimi Hendrix Bassist Billy Cox Has the 'Old School Blue Blues' on His New Album
The only surviving member of both the Jimi Hendrix Experience and the Band of Gypsys, Billy Cox is a genuine rock treasure — and although he turned 70 in October, the bassist is staying just as busy as ever.
Though his schedule of late has kept him on the road with the Experience Hendrix tribute band, Cox found time to resume his solo career with 2009′s 'Last Gypsy Standing' album, and he picked up right where he left off with his just-released latest CD, 'Old School Blue Blues.'
"I keep saying it; that's all Jimi Hendrix played," Cox says of the album's title. "It was nothing but loud blues. Music has lost its way; we need to get back to the fundamentals so that music can move forward again."
In that spirit, 'Old School Blue Blues' finds Cox rocking the same Fender Precision bass he's played since 1963 — including his sessions with Hendrix, as well as the countless gigs where Cox backed up rock, R&B, and soul legends like Charles Brown, Wilson Pickett, and Johnnie Taylor.
In Cox's words, "It's about real feel. The blues that we grew up with is a part of the fabric of our lives. This is a song about a people and the lives they lived on a day to day basis."
Cox and Hendrix became friends and performing buddies during their early '60s army stint together. They re-joined forces in 1969 to record the Band of Gypsys album, and Cox then took over Noel Redding's spot in the Experience.
Read more about 'Old School Blue Blues' — or buy a copy for yourself — at Cox's official site.

This editorial in the Greenfield Daily Recorder-Gazette highlights one reaction to the changing role of women caused by the Great Depression. During the depression many women took jobs to increase family incomes reduced by male unemployment, also, women's work in the home became more important as families struggled to make do with less. These changes may have improved the social status of women. The author of this editorial warns against women becoming more like men. Liberated women "have neglected their spiritual powers to become Amazons." The author suggests that these spiritual powers may make women superior to men by "turn[ing] the economies of man's world into a more humane civilization."

Store Orders A Different Dress Because The One You Want "Won't Work For Someone Your Size"
Reader Brad says his friend was "shafted" by a bridal store in St. Louis, so she wrote to the local paper about her issue. The paper wrote up her story and is now asking readers to offer their opinion on the issue. Brad's friend, Tia, went to a bridal store to buy a gown for her sister's wedding. She was instructed by the bride to get a dress that was shiny and either black or red. Tia found a gown she liked and ordered it. When she got the gown, she looked at the tag and noticed that it wasn't by the designer that she thought she'd chosen. When she asked the store what was up with the dress, they told her that the store ordered another dress because they thought the one she'd chosen wouldn't "work for somebody of her size." This, of course, made Tia cry.
Now she wants a refund of half of her costs but the store says no. They're offering $75 as compensation, which is not half of the $230.50 she paid for the wrong dress.
On that day of departure, she looked for the tag, found it and noticed something odd. It didn't say Bill Levkoff. It said Eden Bridal. Tia thought that perhaps Eden Bridal was part of the Bill Levkoff line. Maybe Eden Bridal did the larger dresses. So she went to the computer and looked up Eden Bridal. It did not seem to be connected to Bill Levkoff.
Had there been a mistake? Had she gotten the wrong dress?
She rushed to Ultimate Bride. If there had been some kind of a mistake and the seamstress had been given the wrong gown, would there be time to do the alterations on the right gown? She explained to the seamstress that they had been working with the wrong dress. The seamstress went to talk to the store manager. She came back and said, no, this is the dress we ordered for you. The manager didn't think the other one would work for somebody of her size.
Tia started to cry. She took the dress and left.
She told the story to her mom in Iowa. It was humiliating. By the way, she now hated the gown. The sash was long and embroidered. Way too frilly. It wasn't shiny enough. She called the store from Iowa. She spoke to the manager. I want my money back, she said. The store manager said she couldn't do anything because Tia had taken the dress.
When Tia came back to St. Louis, she called the owner of the store, Ann Rafferty. She offered Tia a $25 refund, but overall, the discussion did not go well. Tia then spoke with general manager Richard Craig. That conversation was better, but resulted in the same $25 offer. Tia asked for half her cost back. In all, including shipping and alterations, she had paid $230.50. Craig continued to offer $25.

i3 is a dynamic tiling window manager. i3 is very fast and powerful. To be most productive you will want to configure it to your liking. This guide will assist you in your i3 desktop customization. If you are accustomed to using a full Desktop Environment like Gnome, KDE, or Xfce this will greatly help to ease the transition to i3.
- 1 Prerequisits
- 2 Configuration
- 2.1 i3statusbar
- 2.2 Volume Manager
- 2.3 Network Manager
- 2.4 Workspace Names
- 2.5 Launching programs on specific workspaces
- 2.6 Desktop Wallpaper
- 2.7 Terminal Emulator
- 2.8 Scratchpad
- 2.9 Shutdown, Reboot, Lock Screen
- 2.10 Screensaver and Power Management
- 3 See also
You should have already installed the i3 window manager from the official repositories. If not, Please see I3 for installation instructions.
It is also strongly recommended to read the official i3 User Guide
First we need to copy over the default configuration files that we will be working with to our home directory.
cp /etc/i3/config ~/.i3/config cp /etc/i3status.conf ~/.i3status.conf
Network Interface Status
Now we can fix the status bar (i3status) at the bottom of the screen. If you recently installed Arch Linux then you will be using the new systemd/udev Predictable Network Interface Naming scheme. As a result we need to change the references for eth0 (ethernet) and wlan0 (wireless) to match your system. To view your available network interfaces use the command
ip link
Here is an example output of what you will see:
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 2: enp6s0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN mode DEFAULT qlen 1000 link/ether aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 3: wlp3s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP mode DORMANT qlen 1000 link/ether aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
From the example we can see that ethernet interface is labelled enp6s0 and the wireless interface is wilp3s0. Your interface names may vary. Edit the file
Replace the lines:
order += "wireless wlan0" order += "ethernet eth0" wireless wlan0 { wireless eth0 {
To match your corresponding network interface names:
order += "wireless wlp3s0" order += "ethernet enp6s0" wireless wlp3s0 { ethernet enp6s0 {
Temperature Status
If you would like to add your CPU temperature to the i3status bar simply add these lines to
order += "cpu_temperature 0" cpu_temperature 0 { format = "T: %degrees °C" max_threshold = 65 path = "/sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/temp1_input" }
If the temperature column complains that it cannot get the temperature value then change the path line to:
path = "/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp"
Volume Manager
To enable easy management of your system volume, you can install a volume manager applet such as pa-applet from the AUR. This should also allow you to use your keyboards volume up, volume down, and mute keys as well as using the applet directly to manage your volume. Once it is installed add the following line to your
~/.i3/config to auto start the applet:
exec /usr/bin/pa-applet
Network Manager
If you would like to use the Network Manager applet to manage your network connections you can install it with the command:
# pacman -S networkmanager network-manager-applet
To have the Network Manager daemon auto start at bootup use the command:
# systemctl enable NetworkManager
Finally add the the following line to your
~/.i3/config to automatically start the Network Manager applet in your system tray
exec /usr/bin/nm-applet
Workspace Names
Although it is not required, many people prefer naming frequently used workspaces. First you need to determine which monitor you want the workspace to open to. Simply type
xrander into a terminal and it will show you the available display ports. Some common ones are LVDS1 for laptops or VGA1, HDMI1, HDMI2, etc for external monitors. If you are using Xinerama instead use the outputs xinerama-0, xinerama-1, etc. Add your workspace names to
~/.i3/config You also need to modify the corresponding lines to switch to your workspaces as well as moving focused containers to those workspaces.
# Workspace names workspace "1:Web" output LVDS1 workspace "2:Mail" output LVDS1 workspace "3:Irc" output LVDS1 workspace "4:Shell" output LVDS1
# switch to workspace bindsym $mod+1 workspace 1:Web bindsym $mod+2 workspace 2:Mail bindsym $mod+3 workspace 3:Irc bindsym $mod+4 workspace 4:Shell
# move focused container to workspace bindsym $mod+Shift+1 move container to workspace 1:Web bindsym $mod+Shift+2 move container to workspace 2:Mail bindsym $mod+Shift+3 move container to workspace 3:Irc bindsym $mod+Shift+4 move container to workspace 4:Shell
Launching programs on specific workspaces
Desktop Wallpaper
To be able to manage the desktop wallpaper, you need a lightweight image viewer like Feh or Nitrogen. Install feh with the command
# pacman -S feh. Then you can set your wallpaper with the following command:
$ feh --bg-scale /path/to/image.file
To have feh set your image to the Desktop Wallpaper add the following line to your
exec --no-startup-id sh ~/.fehbg
Terminal Emulator
By default when you press $mod+Return it launches the i3-sensible-terminal which is a script that invokes a terminal. It attempts to start one of these terminals in the following order: $TERMINAL urxvt rxvt terminator Eterm aterm xterm gnome-terminal roxterm xfce4-terminal. You can force it to launch your terminal of choice by modifying the line
bindsym $mod+Return exec i3-sensible-terminal
Having a scratchpad to jot down or paste notes quickly is very handy! i3 has a feature that allows you to move a window to a scratchpad workspace. Basically it will be hidden from view until you recall it with the
scratchpad show command. To send a focused window to the scratchpad with $mod+Shift+minus or to recall it with $mod+minus enter these lines into your
# Make the currently focused window a scratchpad bindsym $mod+Shift+minus move scratchpad # Show the first scratchpad window bindsym $mod+minus scratchpad show
You can start your favorite editor (ie Gedit, vim, nano, etc) on startup and have it automatically moved to the scratchpad workspace to quickly recall it when needed. The following example when placed in
~/.i3/config shows how you can start the urxvt terminal, have it launch the nano editor, and then move it to the scratchpad:
# starting a specially named term automatically exec --no-startup-id urxvt -name scratchpad -e /usr/bin/nano # move this to scratchpad, if active for_window [class="URxvt" instance="scratchpad"] move scratchpad
Shutdown, Reboot, Lock Screen
As there are no Shutdown, Reboot, or Lock Screen buttons, we can add some hotkey combinations to help us out. First we need to create this script and save it as
i3exit. Remember to to make it executable with
chmod +x and to place it somewhere in your $PATH.
#!/bin/sh lock() { i3lock } case "$1" in lock) lock ;; logout) i3-msg exit ;; suspend) lock && systemctl suspend ;; hibernate) lock && systemctl hibernate ;; reboot) systemctl reboot ;; shutdown) systemctl poweroff ;; *) echo "Usage: $0 {lock|logout|suspend|hibernate|reboot|shutdown}" exit 2 esac exit 0
Now add the following lines to your
~/.i3/config Once completed you will be presented with a prompt whenever you press $mod+pause.
set $mode_system System (l) lock, (e) logout, (s) suspend, (h) hibernate, (r) reboot, (Shift+s) shutdown mode "$mode_system" { bindsym l exec --no-startup-id i3exit lock, mode "default" bindsym e exec --no-startup-id i3exit logout, mode "default" bindsym s exec --no-startup-id i3exit suspend, mode "default" bindsym h exec --no-startup-id i3exit hibernate, mode "default" bindsym r exec --no-startup-id i3exit reboot, mode "default" bindsym Shift+s exec --no-startup-id i3exit shutdown, mode "default" # back to normal: Enter or Escape bindsym Return mode "default" bindsym Escape mode "default" } bindsym $mod+Pause mode "$mode_system"
Screensaver and Power Management
You can use DPMS to blank your screen or to suspend/poweroff your monitor. Adding the following line to your
~/.i3/config will suspend your monitor after 10 minutes.
exec --no-startup-id xset dpms 600

"Guild Wars 2 does look very fun and appealing even if I'm still not holding my breath for a revolution in the MMORPG industry regardless of how much ArenaNet claim it be so (I may be wrong though)." Gordon, We Fly Spitfires
There is everything wrong with this sentence. Luckily Gordon disclaims his insufficient knowledge about GW2 in his pots, so I am not blaming him. But there is this one big misunderstand which needs to be cleared and gone.
There is no revolution in GW2, it's all evolution.
Every single part of this game is carefully crafted and fits into another parts of the game seamlessly but there is no revolution in there.
Hearts are evolution of classic quests hubs where instead of having 5 quests asking you to kill something, collect something, interact with something etc. you have all those in one pack and you just choose what you consider most fun, and do that. If you love burning frogs with flamethrower, you can complete a Hearth this way and completely ignore other objectives.
Dynamic Events are evolution of Rift's Rifts (been there) and Warhammer Online's Public Quests (which I haven't played but I get a lot of info from my friend who spent a helluva time in War). In Rift there are events appearing in predefined positions, spewing mobs and you either win or lose. Both have consequences, but each rift is a self-contained event. In Warhammer Online you had public quests where everyone could just come and start doing what other people were doing without invites and get rewarded. In GW2 we have events appearing in predefined positions but each event has multiple win and lose states and trigger other events in the chain. For example frog village gets attacked by thieves, if you protect the village enemies get more desperate and hungry and send a raid to the village. But if you fail you now have to go to enemy's village and get the stolen food back.
Both Hearths and Dynamic event are out there in the world and interact with each other. Many times I have completed a Hearth by doing some random Dynamic Event.
WvWvW(World vs World vs World) is evolution of Warhammer Online and Dark Age of Camelot siege modes. There is frankly not much I can tell about WvW without making things up, as I haven't been there at all, not even during Beta Weekends. Same goes for Structured PvP. I am not gonna dabble into regions I am not good in.
Exploration may be on the other hand considered by some as revolutionary, but it actually isn't, it's just a smart mix of game mechanics. There is exploration of map to get 100 competition, but then there are chests with treasure hidden everywhere in the world, not marked on map at all and usually requiring some devilish jumping puzzle to be crossed to get to it. Then we have exploration based crafting, where you have a lots of materials but almost no recipes and you just try to mix what makes sense, and thus create new recipes. Sometimes the combos are quite crazy so there is a big chance you will have some recipes nobody else does for some time. Been done in other games tho, but not in such a complete and nicely fleshed out package.
So as you can see, there is not much revolution in GW2. There may be some minor features which may be considerer revolutionary by some, but you can say this about any game. Do no thrive for revolutions, they are dirty and noisy and lots of people get left out (or in RL killed).

A Bad Day for Two Agencies
It's been a rough day for the Obama administration.
The morning was dominated by a leak of e-mail summaries that suggest a State Department official interjected politics into the administration's response to the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
Discussing "talking points" being prepared for U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, a State Department spokeswoman warned officials at the White House and intelligence agencies that mention of CIA warnings of past threats "could be abused by members [of Congress] to beat up the State Department for not paying attention to warnings, so why would we want to feed that either? Concerned...."
The paragraph was deleted.
Later today, the Internal Revenue Service apologized for giving special scrutiny to political groups with "tea party" or "patriot" in their names. The practice was wrong, the IRS said, but not politically motivated. Conservatives have long suspected that the agency singled them out for unfair treatment. Loaded with hard-working civil servants, the State Department and IRS normally steer clear of politics. Not on this day.
Ron Fournier
IRS ACKNOWLEDGES TARGETING CONSERVATIVE GROUPS, APOLOGIZES. The Internal Revenue Service acknowledged today that it had targeted for heightened scrutiny organizations seeking tax exemptions whose applications included the terms "patriot" or "tea party," the Associated Press reports. "That was wrong. That was absolutely incorrect, it was insensitive, and it was inappropriate. That's not how we go about selecting cases for further review," Director of Exempt Organizations Lois Lerner told a conference sponsored by the American Bar Association. "The IRS would like to apologize for that." According to Lerner, the practice, which targeted 75 groups, "was initiated by low-level workers in Cincinnati and was not motivated by political bias." Higher-ranking officials were not aware of the practice, she said. Read more
- National Journal's Nancy Cook writes that the news gives congressional Republicans more ammunition in their drive to defund and weaken the agency.
CLINTON URGED TO TESTIFY AGAIN ON BENGHAZI. Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is under pressure to return to Capitol Hill to testify on the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, USA Today reports. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said in an interview that the findings of the State Department's Accountability Review Board were incomplete, and that Clinton should aid a congressional inquiry into the attack that killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens. Asked whether Clinton should be subpoenaed, Graham said, "I hope she would come back without that, but yes. I think she needs to come back and answer questions." Meanwhile, American Crossroads released a Web video today criticizing Clinton over the department's response to the attack. Read more
- Clinton's allies are coming to her defense, citing "tinfoil hats" and "right-wing" groups, National Journal's Michael Catalini reports. Welcome back to the 1990s!
SCRUBBING THE TRUTH FROM BENGHAZI. Summaries of e-mails among White House and State Department officials reveal that the Obama administration played politics with the Benghazi attack, National Journal's Ron Fournier writes. With more disclosures likely to come, the administration "might want to borrow a page from the scandal-ridden Bill Clinton playbook: Release all Benghazi documents at a time and manner of their choosing, before the GOP does so."

OBAMAS TO MAKE OFFICIAL VISITS TO BELFAST, BERLIN IN JUNE. Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, are scheduled to travel to Belfast, Ireland, on June 17-18 to attend the Group of Eight summit, which will be hosted by U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron. The first couple will then visit Berlin, where the president will meet with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and President Joachim Gauck. Cameron will visit the White House on Monday to discuss the developing situation in Syria, as well as counterterrorism efforts and economic issues. Read more
HOUSE INTRODUCES NEW FARM BILL WITH DEEPER CUTS TO FOOD STAMPS. House Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank Lucas, R-Okla., today unveiled a revised farm bill that he claims would reduce spending by $39.7 billion over 10 years, in part due to substantial cuts to food-stamp programs. A version of the bill that passed the committee last year but did not reach a full House vote would have reduced spending by $35 billion over the next decade. The new bill would reduce food-stamp spending by $20.5 billion, compared with $16 billion under the previous measure. A corresponding measure advanced Thursday by the Senate Agriculture Committee would reduce overall spending by $23 billion and food-stamp spending by $4 billion. Read more
THE COMING GOP CIVIL WAR OVER CLIMATE CHANGE. A quiet, but growing, number of Republicans fear voters will abandon the GOP unless the party comes to an honest reckoning about global warming, National Journal's Coral Davenport reports. Already, deep fissures are emerging between, on one side, a base of ideological voters and lawmakers with strong ties to powerful tea-party groups and super PACs funded by the fossil-fuel industry that sees climate change as a false threat concocted by liberals to justify greater government control; and on the other side, a quiet group of moderates, younger voters, and leading conservative intellectuals that fears that if Republicans continue to dismiss or deny climate change, the party will become irrelevant.

- The level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere surpassed a long-feared milestone Thursday, one that has not been seen for 3 million years, The New York Timesreports.
IS YOUR STATE'S HIGHEST-PAID EMPLOYEE A COACH?PROBABLY. The website Deadspin offers a fascinating infographic on each state's highest-paid public employee. "Based on data drawn from media reports and state salary databases, the ranks of the highest-paid active public employees include 27 football coaches, 13 basketball coaches, one hockey coach, and 10 dorks who aren't even in charge of a team," the website reports.

"The new evidence we have today—and that continues to mount—suggests that at the very least, Mrs. Clinton should never hold high office again." —Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., in an op-ed for TheWashington Times, on Benghazi
FROM PUNCH LINE TO INTERNET NECESSITY. In 18 months, Netflix has gone from being the subject of a Saturday Night Liveparody to a behemoth Americans can't live without. "On a normal weeknight, Netflix accounts for almost a third of all Internet traffic entering North American homes. That's more than YouTube, Hulu, Amazon.com, HBO Go, iTunes, and BitTorrent combined," writes Ashlee Vance for BloombergBusinessweek. When Netflix announced intentions roughly two years ago to raise prices and split into two companies—one for DVDs by mail, one for streaming—its price plummeted from nearly $300 a share to just over $50. But since a hasty apology, the company has been at the forefront of bolstering cloud computing, pushing Amazon's servers, which Netflix rents, to new heights. Read more
CICADAS, MARS AND BILL CLINTON'S PANTS. The 17-year Brood II cicadas are set to swarm the East Coast this year, and David Letterman has some news they may have missed out on—including smartphones and how the Al Gore presidency turned out. Also on The Late Show last night, Letterman noted NASA's plan to send people to Mars and was curious about the application process. On Conan, Bill Clinton's pants are nowhere to be found, while The Tonight Show's Jay Leno knows the new slogan for the Benghazi hearings. Watch it here

Ridgway wrestling honors seniors
Ridgway wrestling honored its four seniors before the varsity dual against Smethport which the Hubbers won 42-27 Wednesday night at Ridgway Area High School. Ridgway's four seniors are Brett Himes, Cortland Smith, John Wildnauer and Zac McKnight. The Elkers also honored the video operators, Mike Prechtl and Dustin Reed. Senior cheerleaders were also honored. The senior cheerleaders are Logan Feronti, Christine Schauer, Emily Pierce and Tracey Ecklund. Ridgway had the advantage in the nine matches wrestled on the mat, winning five of those nine bouts. "This is one of those matches where there's a lot on the line with Senior Night," Ridgway coach David Fordoski said. "The kids came out and wrestled really well. We won a lot of those matches right at the end and those are the matches you like to win. Winning head-to-head makes you feel pretty good too."

Is it just me or does Druid transmog options seem very bleak? None of our tier sets are really appealing and mix and matching with rogue gear feels odd :/ So has anyone seen a set that looks really good because i'm honestly out of ideas :?
Please thumbnail your pictures!
If you use imgur, you can use the button for 'Linked BBCode (message boards)' with 'Large Thumbnail' size. Or just add an "l" (lowercase L) to the end of the filename before the dot (blah.png -> blahl.png).

Yu Darvish is planning to throw off a mound Friday for the first time since skipping his last scheduled start for the Texas Rangers because of neck stiffness.
The AL West leaders said Darvish threw long toss Thursday and reported a "marked improvement" in how he felt. He had also thrown some in the outfield the previous day.
Darvish was scratched about 2½ hours before his scheduled start Tuesday night against Oakland. He woke up what morning with a sore neck.
The next scheduled turn in the rotation for the rookie right-hander from Japan is Sunday's regular-season home finale against the Los Angeles Angels.
Manager Ron Washington has said all week that expects Darvish (16-9, 3.90 ERA) to being ready Sunday.

Today I'm showing one of those very simple restaurant tricks that anyone could do at home, but don't. The next time your doing a dinner party and want to "fancy-up" the salad course, try this easy technique. You can do this with a large vegetable peeler if you have to, but I hope that by now you've purchased one of those cheap Japanese-style vegetable slicers you see me using in so many of my clips. They really are an incredibly versatile tool and EVERY professional kitchen has one somewhere.
If you have room in your fridge, you can form the "vases" ahead of time and keep them cold until you are ready to serve. By the way, as I mention in the clip, the Salmon Cakes and Tarragon Aioli that I show at the end of the video are a little tease for a couple of demo's coming up this week. So stay tuned for those. Enjoy!

31% of large brands are active on Tumblr, the blogging platform and social network owned by Yahoo Inc. that allows users to post images and videos, according to a recent study by social media analytics company Simply Measured Inc.
The vendor examined 100 large brands' social network use from July 5 to Aug. 4. Among the retailers Simply Measured examined were Tiffany & Co., No. 109 in Internet Retailer's 2013 Top 500 Guide, and Gap Inc., No. 19.
The report found that even though Tumblr use lags behind Facebook (used by 98% of the brands), Twitter (97%), Google+ (76%), Pinterest (74%) and Instagram (68%), many of the brands that are on Tumblr are active on it. Nearly 42% of those with Tumblr accounts post at least three times per week and 19% post at least 10 times a week.
Many brands are using Tumblr in concert with other social networks, the report says.
"This diversification is a new phenomenon among brands; in the past, large brands focused on pouring resources into a specific network or two," it says.
Images account for 95% of the content that brands post on Tumblr and those photos receive 98% of consumers' reblogs. On Tumblr consumers can interact with posts by clicking a Like button, commenting on it, or reblogging it, which is similar to a retweet on Twitter in that a user clicks a button to post the same entry on his own Tumblr blog, which increases the posts' exposure.
The report found that the brands' posts spark a lot of engagement. Each post receives 1,462 notes—which include Likes, comments and reblogs—per post.
A large part of Tumblr's appeal, the report says, is that posts on the platform have a longer shelf life than posts on most other social networks. Nearly 33% of consumers' reblogs of the brands' posts took place more than 30 days after the brand initially posted the content.

Captain's Report
What's the Range?
Boats for ocean voyages are designed, built and equipped differently than those intended for coastwise cruising; Nordhavn has made their bones by creating able open-sea boats, even in smaller sizes. For a powerboat, the most important factor is cruising range. Most 43-footers can't carry enough fuel for transoceanic passages, but by combining an efficient hull form with single-diesel power and low speed, Nordhavn stretches maximum range from each gallon of fuel. They claim the 43 burns 2.5 gph at its cruising speed of 7 knots, for a projected range of 3,360 n.m. on 1,200 gals. of diesel. Those are not BoatTEST.com numbers, so when you run out of fuel don't call us. Based on 2.5-gph consumption, our calculator shows that range only when every drop of fuel is used in the main engine, leaving none for reserve or to run the generator. If we were planning a voyage aboard this boat, we'd figure our range to be 2700 n.m., and confirm or change that number based on real-world experience. Nevertheless, the 43 has longer range than the company's Nordhavn 40, thanks to an extra 300 gals. of fuel, and many 40s have made ocean crossings and even circumnavigations. Very few boats this size can match Nordhavn's record.
Design Details
The Nordhavn 43 looks like a typical displacement-speed cruiser, but her underbody is modified for improved seakeeping and greater speed vs. horsepower. The company calls this their Modified Full Displacement (MFD) hull; it comprises wider stern sections to minimize squatting and pitching when running near the top of the displacement speed/length ratio, thereby reducing drag. A small tunnel allows use of a larger-diameter propeller, further increasing efficiency. The wider stern sections also add interior volume. Lead ballast equal to about half the weight of fuel adds stability and makes the roll more comfortable; ballast is commonly used aboard long-range displacement powerboats.
After fuel, the next important factor when long-distance cruising is carrying food – that's easier with fewer people aboard. The Nordhavn 43 sleeps four in two staterooms, a master and a guest cabin with either a double or two singles. Four is plenty to have aboard for long trips, and we suspect most 43s will be crewed by a couple, using the extra cabin for added stowage or occasional guests.
The Nordhavn 43 is a motorhead's dream. The single Lugger L1066T diesel produces 170-hp at high output, 135-hp continuous, showing just how little power it takes to move a boat at displacement speed. Fitted to a 3.97:1 reduction gear, the diesel spins a 34" prop slowly, efficiently and quietly. Top speed is 8.5 knots. For backup to the Lugger (one of the world's most reliable engines), Nordhavn installs get-home power: A 27-hp wing engine with its own fuel tank, shaft and prop. In calm weather, Nordhavn says the wing engine will drive the boat at 6 knots, in hard going, between 3 and 4. We'd be sure to run the wing engine regularly – maybe when shutting down the Lugger to change its oil – just in case we needed it one day.
More perfectly good diesels are brought down by dirty fuel than any other cause. Nordhavn engineered its fuel system to prevent this: Two 600-gallon tanks gravity-feed into a 40-gallon reservoir tank which, in turn, feeds the Lugger. Contaminants settle in the reservoir where they can be drained off before clogging the main fuel filters. The reservoir tank also makes it easier to calculate fuel consumption, by timing the fuel level drop using a sight gauge on the tank.
Pricing and Recommendation
Base price of the Nordhavn 43 is $695,000, but most buyers add an average of $200,000 more in extras and electronics. A company rep said to figure spending something in the low-$900,000 range for a well-found boat. Since Nordhavns are built in the Far East, figure on a delivery time of about 10 months, including transport.
Would we buy a Nordhavn 43? Only if we planned to use her as intended, for long-range voyaging. For that, it's hard to beat a Nordhavn. For coastal cruising, though, we'd prefer a boat with a bit more top speed, so we wouldn't have to spend so long enroute between harbors. We think you should analyze just how you're going to use any boat you buy – and be realistic; if your plans will soon include crossing an ocean or doing long-distance coastal work going into the high Arctic or deep into the tropics, then the Nordhavn 43 could be just the boat for you. Otherwise, we'd suggest looking at less-rangy, more fleet-footed vessels.Tahiti, anyone?

SWAN SONG (fiction)
"You sure you're up to this? You know that it's quite a hike back into the lake. We could just toss the boat in the river and float for the day."
"Nope, I want to fish the lake today. The big caddis should be hatching and I know how those big old cutthroats love those big old caddis. I have a hankering to tie into one of those big old cutts."
Without another word he shouldered his pack, picked up his fly rod and started up the trail. His companion fell in behind him. It was a good hike up the old logging road to the faint trail that lead through the timber to a scree slope that tumbled down from the side of the big rocky mountain where, in a treeless basin, a deep blue lake sat like a jewel among the gray rocks. The two anglers picked their way through the rocky rubble along a faint trail that lead down to the lake.
Once at the lake they stood looking out over the calm surface of the high mountain lake. The lake was nearly circular, set in a cirque surrounded by mountain peaks that rose two thousand feet above the lake surface. The lake itself was at nearly eight thousand feet, and over two thousand feet above the valley below. At the eastern end a talus slide from the flank of the mountain reached down to the very edge of the lake, and Pikas could often be seen running over the rocky surface gathering the sparse grasses into small hay stacks; food for the long winter months. On the southern end a small stream tumbled down from the snow fields that persisted throughout the summer months, and on the western side of the lake the small outlet stream tumbled down a narrow canyon toward the valley far below. The water was as clear as fine crystal and you could easily see the bottom at nearly 30 feet. Both anglers knew that it was the residence of some bragging sized native cutthroat trout. They dropped their packs and began to inflate their float tubes.
Although it was late morning by the time the anglers reached the lake the sun had yet to completely fill the cirque with light. As the sun moved slowly across the surface of the water the first caddis appeared. From experience the anglers knew that when those large caddis popped to the surface they would run along the surface toward the shore. The cutthroat would cruise along the edge of the drop-off and smash the big caddis as they made their run for the shore. By kicking along the shore line and casting a large caddis imitation out toward the drop-off and quickly stripping it back on the surface was nearly guaranteed to result in a spectacular rise from one of the resident trout.
The key to hooking one of those bruisers was to let the trout hook itself. The rises were always violent, and if you reacted to the rise you would usually pull the fly out of the mouth of the fish or just hook it in the front of the jaw where it would frequently pull loose during the ensuing battle. If you could resist the urge to set the hook the fish would strike the fly and turn down with the fly in its mouth and it would lodge in the corner of the jaw. Once the fish had turned down the angler simply had to tighten up on the line and the fish would be well hooked. Then it was simply a matter of hanging on and let the fish fight the bend of the rod and the resistant of the drag of the reel.
The older angler was the first one to slip his tube into the water and kick slowly away from shore. The younger angler stood watching him begin to strip line from his reel and seemingly effortlessly send a sixty foot cast out toward the center of the lake. He thought to himself that he hoped that he was as fit as that old man when he was his age. Before he could get his tube into the water he heard the shrill whine of a reel and he saw that his partner had struck first blood for the day. He kicked out toward him and arrived just in time to see him net a fat twenty inch cutthroat. Quickly he slipped the hook from the corner of his jaw and allowed him to shoot back into the depths of the lake. He looked up and a broad smile spread across his face.
The sun marched across the sky scribing an arch from east to west in its daily trek from sunrise to sunset. The caddis hatched sporadically but the fish responded vigorously to any real or imitation that came to their attention. The fish were strong and fat from feeding on the fresh water shrimp and isopods that inhabited the lake, and each hooked fish fought long and hard before coming to the net. Most of the day one of them was fighting a fish, and on several occasions both of them were doing battle simultaneously.
The sun was heading for the western horizon as the two anglers kicked slowly back toward the shore. After they deflated their float tubes, they shouldered their packs and began the climb back to top of the cirque. Once at the top the older angler stood looking back over the lake now shrouded in the creeping darkness of night. The younger angler thought that he stood there an inordinate amount of time since they had a good hike ahead of them before they got back to the trailhead. When he turned back toward the trail the younger angler thought he detected a tear slowly rolling down his cheek.
The sun broke through the clouds as they pulled the casket from the back of the hearse. The wind sent the last of the autumn leaves rattling off the now nearly bare trees; sending a shower of golden and yellow leaves whirling around the mourners. As the younger angler helped carry the casket to the gravesite he couldn't help but think about their last fishing trip just a few weeks before. He never let on that cancer was filling his lungs and that the doctors had told him that there was nothing that could be done to stop its spread. Now he understood why he stood so long looking out over the lake, and now he understood the tear. As they lowered the casket onto the bier over the open grave a skein of swans flew low over the cemetery. The old angler had gone home.

So many people tell me that they think my job would just be so fun. I can't argue with that. I believe that I have the best job in the world. I get to reach out and touch people every day. I love that something that is a simple as a hairstyle can change someones life and even just brighten their day. I love what I do and it is the reason I pursued this career. I love the fashion industry as a whole and knew I wanted to be involved in it somehow. It was far more important to me to love my job every day and enjoy going to work then it was to make a ton of money. These are the reasons I chose Cosmetology. As wonderful as my job is, it also comes with a lot of things that many don't realize and I think should be said if you or someone you know is thinking about becoming a hairdresser. Here are a few questions to ponder before signing up to become a licensed cosmetologist.
1. Do you like people? Seriously, do you really LIKE people and I mean all types of people? Every single walk of life is going to sit in your chair and in order to be successful as a hairdresser you have to like them and know how to work with them. I don't believe you should just like people. You have to LOVE people, LOVE being around people and LOVE interacting with them every single day! I bring this up first because I have met many a hairdresser who says that they don't really like people. I, for the life of me, don't get that one, but it is true and it happens. So, if considering this career path sit and stew on that one.
2. Are you a creative, artistic type person? I believe that anyone can go to school to learn how to cut hair and most of you can go to school, finish and pass your state test to become a licensed cosmetologist. This is not going to make you a successful hairdresser, I promise. The type of talent you need to do well and to become a great hairstylist is not taught in school. It is truly an art and you have to have some amount of inner artist to be able to do well. I think more people who are artistic should consider this as a career path. Every six weeks you get to create a masterpiece that walks around advertising for you everywhere. How cool is that?If you are not crafty, creative and/or artistic person then this is not the job for you.
3. Are you willing to put the work in? Are you a hard worker? Are you self motivated? Are you goal driven? All the above must be answered with a YES. This is a great job, but it is hard work. Physical and mental work. Most hairdressers work very hard with no paid vacation time, no health insurance or any other benefits given to them. You are not going to leave hair school with what you need to make it in this career. You don't know nearly enough. Gosh, I have been at it almost 12 years and I don't know enough. You have to be willing to work and I mean WORK. This is the service industry. It is going to take you years to build a clientele and then you have to maintain those clients and adjust where you lose some. You constantly are "selling" yourself and your talents. If you expect to have any of it handed to you, you are mistaken. If you understand and I mean really understand what it is going to take then you are going to do well.
I can't sugar coat this because it is a big commitment and if you aren't aware of these few things then you will be wasting your time and messing up perfectly good hair. There are many more rewards to my job then negatives, but that is because I love this job and I am fully aware of all that it takes. If you or someone you know is considering this career, please share this with them and I am always available for advice and support. Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com

OAKLAND — Alameda county health officials are warning the public after an Oakland Zoo volunteer was bitten by a rabid wild bat.
The volunteer, who was described in media reports as a teenage girl, was taking the Mexican free-tailed bat to zookeepers for care on Saturday when it bit her, zoo and county health officials said. The bat, which was not part of a zoo exhibit, later tested for positive for rabies.
Rabies can be fatal, but the girl is undergoing treatment and is expected to make a full recovery, according to Alameda County Health Department officials.
This was the third case of an animal testing positive for rabies in 2013, officials said. All three were bats. The two previous cases involving rabid bats in Pleasanton and San Lorenzo, resulted in a pet cat and a pet dog being quarantined. There have been 53 rabid bats found in the state this year as of June 19.
Officials are reminding residents not to touch or approach wild animals and to instead call Oakland Animal Control at 510-535-5602 or Vector Control at 510-567-6800.

Life Science: Session 6
Identifying Species
What is a species?
The simplest answer to this question is that a species is a "type" of organism. We all recognize that there is a "boundary" that separates dogs from chimpanzees and chimpanzees from human beings, for example. For centuries, scientists distinguished one species from another by observable differences in external and internal features. Because different species can look nearly identical, and even members of the same species can look very different, behavior became an important clue. The ability to reproduce together was a key behavior used to determine species boundaries. This still generally holds true for organisms that reproduce sexually, although crossbreeding between species does occur in the natural world. This classification method is becoming outdated, however, as advances in DNA sequencing occur.
How is DNA sequencing influencing how species are identified?
The genome of a species is considered to be unique to that species. The genome exists as segments of DNA in an organism's cells — the 46 chromosomes in human cells, for example. Comparisons of segments of DNA that represent genes reveal how similar two organisms are. Scientists now use differences in DNA sequences as a more precise way of distinguishing among species and to propose their evolutionary relationships. At the simplest level, the degree of difference implies the degree of divergence from a common ancestor and thus allows the investigator to infer the relatedness among species. The assumption is that as two species diverge from one, their genomes will become more and more different. Using this assumption with DNA sequencing, chimpanzees and humans are inferred to be more closely related to each other than either are to dogs because their DNA is more similar.
The analysis of DNA sequencing still involves debate and varying practices. Differences in the DNA between separate species of mammals can be slight: Humans, for example, share 99.6% of their DNA with chimpanzees. For bacteria, however, current practice requires a 3% or greater DNA difference to constitute a separate species. It is easy to imagine how the diversity of bacteria could be easily underestimated by this practice — and bacteria are probably the most diverse group of organisms on the planet.
