A five-piece with a bassist called Panda (like 'Joe Lean' isn't enough of a stupid name in itself), this lot are – as you just might have read about – Officially A Big Deal In 2008. They're signed to Mercury, who obviously harbour (harbour – HA – 'cause the video's set beside the sea… et cetera) hopes of them emulating the success of another set of charmless indie sorts, Razorlight. And, in Lean and company's favour, their titular lynchpin certainly has the looks to break the posters-in-bedrooms market. They're super photogenic, especially in moody black and white.
But 'Lonely Buoy' is utterly soulless, absolutely nonsensical lyrically – a series of stuttered refrains doesn't lend the words contained within any more significance, guys, and that thing about your jacket, what? – and completely lacking anything near a memorable tune the milkman can whistle. Great hopes for this year? Did any of the aforementioned make a dent on musical history?
Try harder, J-J-Jers, or do us all a favour and drift out to sea… sea, 'cause the video's beside the… and the song's a play on… yeah, you get it. God there's really nothing in this song to talk about, is there? It's just so very dull. I'm going down the pub.

Government agencies are taking notice of the nation's bus companies, working to pull unsafe operators off the roads – in the last two months, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Organization has conducted more than 13,500 roadside inspections with state enforcement partners. NBC's Tom Costello reports.
At least two people were killed and 36 injured Thursday when a bus carrying people to a casino overturned on a highway outside Dallas, authorities said.
The crash happened in the Dallas suburb of Irving. Video from NBC affiliate KXAS showed crews working to free trapped passengers and carrying people away on stretchers.
"People were screaming, on top of each other," Dan Risik, who identified himself as a passenger on the bus, told KXAS. "I was on top of a friend of mine, and a woman was on top of me on my leg. I couldn't move up, or what have you, until help arrived and they climbed through the windows."
Risik said the bus was headed to Choctaw Casino Resort, just over the Oklahoma state line and about 90 miles from Dallas. Many of the passengers were elderly, Risik said.

Emergency responders works the scene of bush crash on the George Bush Turnpike on April 11, in Irving, Texas.
Lonny Haschel, a spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety, confirmed the two deaths to KXAS. Rusty Wilson, the assistant fire chief of Irving, said 36 were injured. About an hour after the crash, Haschel said it was not clear whether passengers were still trapped inside.
The bus veered out of the northbound lanes of a state highway, struck a rubber roadside barrier, skidded back across the highway, hit a concrete barrier on the other side and overturned, Haschel said. The bus carved deep skid marks into the grass in the median and came to rest on its passenger side.
Ed Cluck said he helped pull a number of people from the bus before rescuers arrived.
"It was pretty bad, people screaming. There was obviously a lot of pain," Cluck said. "You could see the people that were obviously in very bad pain and shape and you just couldn't get to them because there were other people on top of them."
The National Transportation Safety Board dispatched regional investigators to the scene of the accident.
Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas said it received 15 people transported from the crash. Las Colinas Medical Center in Irving said it was treating six passengers.
Dr. Alex Eastman, a trauma surgeon at Parkland, said that the patients ranged in age from about 66 to 80 years old. Four patients in critical condition were taken to Parkland. All of the patients in critical were talking when they arrived, Eastman said.
Authorities closed the highway and a nearby toll booth and set up a command center in the parking lot of a nearby bank. The National Transportation Safety Board sent investigators.
KXAS reported that Irving fire officials ordered all their trucks to help.
NBC News' Matthew DeLuca contributed to this report.

Looking over the treatment of the Eilenberg-Steenrod axioms in a few of my favorite introductory algebraic topology texts, I see that some include an "axiom of compact support", while others do not. Whether or not one needs such an axiom for the homology theory to be uniquely defined (assuming it satisfies the dimension axiom) seems to depend on the category of pairs for which one is defining the homology theory. For example, if one is only looking at the homology of compact pairs, the axiom of compact supports is certainly unnecessary. Spanier invokes the axiom to handle arbitrary polyhedral pairs, and this also seems to be the situation in Munkres. But then Hatcher (if I'm reading it correctly) proves uniqueness (assuming the dimension axiom) on CW pairs, without any mention of the compact support axiom, which I find somewhat surprising without limiting to compact pairs.
So for which categories containing possibly non-compact spaces does one need the compact support axioms (along with the dimension axiom) in order to know that the homology theory is unique? In particular, what is the status for polyhedral pairs, CW pairs, and arbitrary topological pairs? And if I'm reading Hatcher correctly, is there an intuitive reason why the compact support axiom isn't necessary for CW pairs but is for polyhedral pairs?
It's amazing the things one is forced to think about when teaching a graduate algebraic topology class!

The world may be waiting on a Facebook IPO. And while there's some chatter about whether the $5 billion public offering from the social networking giant will open the floodgates for tech offerings, The Wall Street Journal today notes that it might be a new breed that actually woos Wall Street: enterprise IT companies.
That's in contrast to the Zillows and Groupons and LinkedIns of the world that went public in 2011. The Journal quotes Madrona's Matt McIlwain who says that enterprise IT firms have "compelling and repeatable" business models.
That could be good news for Seattle, which historically has produced some of the behind-the-scenes IT infrastructure and business services that help power the Internet or make enterprises more efficient. (F5 Networks, Concur, Isilon Systems, etc.).
With that in mind, I started wondering which Seattle area companies actually might take the IPO plunge in 2012. Pretty quickly I came up with five names which show the diversity of the technology industry in Seattle. Now, it's unclear to me whether any of these will pull the trigger, and few will tell you if and when they plan to drop an S-1 filing. But, nonetheless, here's my short list. Who did I miss?
After raising a $37 million venture capital round last summer from venerable venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, INRIX CEO Bryan Mistele told GeekWire that his Kirkland company was already bigger than Zillow. A spin off from Microsoft Research, INRIX's traffic data now powers most of the major navigation applications and is now available in 30 countries. Solidly profitable and growing, the company bought its main European rival in August for $60 million.
Mistele has not hidden his intentions for an IPO, telling GeekWire last year that traffic analysis is a billion dollar opportunity. "We are certainly on the path of wanting to take this business public," he said in July.
Big Fish Games:
Seattle's under appreciated gaming industry has already seen some fantastic exits in the past year, namely EA's buyout of PopCap and IGT's acquisition of Double Down Interactive. Big Fish certainly has the revenue numbers to go public, posting $140 million in sales in 2010. Founded in 2002 by former RealNetworks manager Paul Thelen, Big Fish named former Amazon.com and Procter & Gamble finance exec David Stephenson as CFO last year.
Long discussed as a possible IPO candidate, Big Fish hasn't grown as fast as social media gaming powerhouse Zynga which went public last year and now boasts a market value of nearly $10 billion. If Big Fish doesn't take the plunge in 2011, could Seattle's surprise gaming hit actually be the wildly successful (and super low key) Valve?
Apptio CEO Sunny Gupta makes no bones about it. He wants to build the next big enterprise software company in Seattle. He appears to be on that path. Speaking at the WTIA's TechNW event in Seattle last year, Gupta noted that Apptio is on course for bookings of $50 million to $60 million in 2011. "We are trying to build something of substantial scale," Gupta said at the time. "We run our business like we wanted to build a great product, a great market, a great new category as opposed to thinking about an exit."
We've heard rumblings of a possible Apptio IPO filing in recent days, and Madrona's McIlwain (who helped guide Isilon to an IPO and eventual sale to EMC) is a board member. Could McIlwain's remarks to The Wall Street Journal have been an indirect hint about Apptio? Possibly.
Tableau Software:
Tableau's IPO aspirations aren't really a mystery. CEO Christian Chabot is an ex-VC and he's long yearned to take the Stanford University spin out public. 2012 might be the year for the maker of data visualization products, especially if the trends around enterprise IT and "big data" hold steady. The Seattle company has experienced a significant growth spurt in recent months, and that momentum continues with Tableau announcing in January that it plans to add 300 workers this year. Sales doubled to $72 million in 2011, which means the company is starting to get into the ballpark where investment bankers take notice.
Daily deal sites were all of the rage in 2011. Will that momentum continue this year? If so, Zulily could take the plunge into the public markets. The company, which has kept a relatively low profile since it was founded by former Blue Nile executives Mark Vadon and Darrell Cavens, is one of the fastest-growing Internet upstarts in Seattle. Zulily has already outgrown three offices in its short history, and our sources said the company was on pace last year to top $150 million in revenue.
Former Big Fish and aQuantive exec Michael Vernon joined as CFO last year — a possible sign of IPO dreams. [Update: As a GeekWire reader noted in the comments below, Vernon has left the company. We confirmed Vernon's departure with Cavens who declined to comment on the departure. The company continues to look for a CFO]. Zulily raised a massive $43 million venture capital round from Meritech Capital and others that valued the company at about $750 million. Too bad Zillow already nailed down the Nasdaq ticker symbol "Z."
And just for fun of it here's a wild card to toss into the mix: Redfin. Even though CEO Glenn Kelman recently remarked that the company is not ready for a public offering, Zillow's success in the marketplace has got to being weighing on the minds of the investors. Interestingly, Redfin just posted a job for a general counsel, certainly a position that would be needed for a company thinking about taking the IPO leap.
"We have some things we have to work out before we go public," Kelman told us last month after the company cut the rebates it offers to home buyers.
It seems like it could be another year before Kelman and board decides to go for it. But if the real estate market shows signs of life and Redfin can gain market share in the cities where it operates, they could jump to.

Placing a new product requires a lot of time and effort. Anyway, when it comes to aviation and technology, I think Russians are a little bit ahead of the Brazilians.

So how many SSJs does SN Brussels operate? 0. They are wet-leased from Cityjet, so SN Brussels doesn't have the entire picture on the operation of the aircraft.Delete
It's as if JU now knows the CRJ inside out because they were leasing it for one summer from JP.
There must be a reason as to why the airlines who can choose freely which aircraft they order (unlike their many Russian counterparts), mostly choose not to order SSJ.
- Nemjee13 April 2018 at 12:14
If one is to follow your logic then SN Brussels should have opted to lease a DC-9 or a F-28 as it would be a wet-lease and they wouldn't really operate it or be accountable for anything.Delete
Reality is that SN Brussels was confident enough to place its livery on the aircraft and to be associated with the SSJ.
To me that looks like a vote of confidence for the manufacturer. Anyway, didn't CityJet order additional aircraft?
I find it absolutely hilarious that you praising a Brazilian aircraft with Brazilian technology over a Russian-Italian-French project.
To me this seems more anti-Russian bias than anything else.
p.s. Aeroflot has been great at resisting government pressure when it came to ordering Russian aircraft. This was especially apparent at the time when they were getting ready to introduce the A321. The Russian government tried to force them to take the Tu-204 but their efforts all failed.
Besides the SSJ, SU has no Russian built aircraft.
- Nemjee13 April 2018 at 12:19
Another thing, SU dropped the first SSJs they got as they were too heavy. In stead of just reducing the SSJ fleet they actually replaced them with newer models.Delete

I think that airlines all over the world had ample time to look into its business case and decide if it fits their operations.
Sadly it doesn't. And that will not change now.
Lets hope that MC-21 has better luck in global markets.

Why are you getting defensive over SSJ and Russian technology? No one above said that it is in any way inferior. We are just pointing out that on the market SSJ sales are doing much worse than western RJs. It is a fact.Delete
As to why is it like that, I'm sure there are various factors. There is still prejudice against Russian aircraft which people mostly associate with old Soviet ones.
Also, Sukhoi is relatively unknown when it comes to passenger aircraft. As comparison, Embraer was around for decades before E-Jets rolled out with EMB120 and Erjs and it still took a while for their sales and popularity to take off.
Who knows, 717 was doing poorly during production, but 10 years after it ceased it became a sort of a hidden jem, so there's always hope
- Anonymous13 April 2018 at 14:03
It is true Aeroflot operates only SSJ, the rest of the fleet is foreign-produced. However they do have 50 MC-21s ordered. But what else is on the market that they could use? Tu-154, Tu-204, Il-96?Delete
As somebody else said, SSJ has been around for quite a while and hasn't gained any significant traction in the free market.
I don't know why one wouldn't trust Brazilian aircraft? Have a look at how many ERJ and E-Jets are flying around every day without problems. Certainly more of them than all of the Russian airlines in service combined. Gets even more obvious when you substract the number of aircraft operated in Brasil/Russia on both sides.
All good points.Delete
We should add to the reasons for airlines reluctance to buy SSJs the fact that with so few airlines operating it and with previous generations engines on them the resale value of these birds will be horrible. Airlines nowadays do not buy aircraft and keep them for 30 years (JU is an exception of course :D) but replace them much sooner.
- Anonymous13 April 2018 at 15:46
JU is far from being the only airline around to operate aircraft older than 30 years.Delete

They have 8 more on order, i see no grounded frames with CityJet. Did i otherwise see you saying how B777 is a crap aircraft because AI cannibalized 5 of them for spare-parts?
Four were out of service during the winter season and spare-parts used on other frames simply for economics reasons.
SSJ arrived into an already overcrowded market where politics and not economics play the major role. Interjet was one of the very few 'free' airlines to order something without any political biais since they're a private airline in an enough large market. Introducing any new type into an existing market is an already huge challenge that any manufacturer will need to overcome besides the policital biais and lobbying. JU didn't have the market case for 4 A319 in 1998 yet it still ordered them for political reasons.
When you think about 'free world', i would ask you to think twice.
- Anonymous13 April 2018 at 16:58
Yeah the only difference is that LH can afford to retire those dinosaurs but JU can't. But I guess that doesn't matter as you just like to bash and attack JU every chance you get.Delete
- Aэrologic13 April 2018 at 17:04
Not so closely but still related, when you look at the scandal Turkey faced when ordering the S-400 (considered by most military experts as best SAM systems in the world) you'd expect the same behind the scenes for any airline trying to order Sukhoi or aircraft from other Russian manufacturers. The fact that Patriots are inferior didn't prevent them from becoming the most widely used system in the world where S-400 is again in the minority.Delete
Quantity and quality aren't always closely related.

Dispatch reliability of less than 90% is very poor. Especially for the aircraft that's been operating commercially for over 7 years now. Just to compare, A320/B737 is usually around 99.5%.
But I guess for some people, Russian aircraft will always be better than anything else. Even if the data shows otherwise.

Guest Editorial / Dr. Aaron Krasner
Sometimes we parents forgot how important our words, thoughts and feelings are in the lives of our kids.
"We make the weather in our homes," a wiser-than-me parent once told me. I think it's true -- especially when it comes to eating behaviors and body image. As parents, we must be mindful of our own relationship with our bodies, how we eat, and the potential impact on our kids.
In the United States, eating disorders are becoming more prevalent and are affecting younger children. According to the National Eating Disorders Association, 80 percent of 10-year-olds are afraid of being fat.
Although many factors contribute to the development of eating disorders, a mom's attitude about body image greatly impacts how children perceive themselves. In fact, one study found that a mom's concerns about weight may be the third leading cause of body image problems in adolescents and girls who believed their mothers wanted them to be thin and were two to three times more likely to worry about their weight. Body image problems aren't limited to girls. A study from Harvard School of Public Health found that nearly 18 percent of teen boys in the study were "extremely concerned" about their bodies.
Even if you're trying to lose a few pounds yourself, you can negatively influence your child's body image by casually talking about diets or expressing your desire to be thinner in front of them.
So how can you help foster a positive body image in your kids? Here are a few suggestions:
Try to avoid criticizing yourself or others about weight or shape in front of kids.
Avoid talking negatively about food -- "I can't eat potatoes because they're carbs" or "That cake will go straight to my thighs." It's more important to teach the importance of healthy eating and exercise without references to weight.
More InformationFact box
Compliment children on their talents and accomplishments -- a little praise goes a long way especially when it's well deserved
Let your kids know that weight gain and changes to body shape are a natural part of the growing process.
Talk to your kids about their use of social media and what they see on TV. Remember, only 5 percent of American women have the body type that is portrayed in advertising as the ideal size and shape for women. When I look at movies even from the 1980s the tolerance for diverse types of bodies was much richer than now.
In regards to media, Americans are exposed to more media messages than ever before and it's only expected to increase. On average, kids spend about six to seven hours per day viewing multiple mediums including TV, magazines, movies, music and the Internet, while Americans as a whole consume nearly 14 hours of media per day and it's growing at a rate of 5 percent a year. Whether we realize it or not, these messages are influential for everyone, but kids are particularly vulnerable so talk to them about it.
At the end of the day, parents are the most influential role models in a child's life, so be mindful of your words and actions. They may be listening when you least expect it.

|[nil edit]Strength of a Hundred Seal
|Byakugō no In
|Viz print media
|Hyakugou Seal
|English anime
|Reserve Seal
|Alternative names
|Yin Seal (陰封印, Infūin)
|Appears in
|Anime, Manga, Game, Movie
A seal developed by Tsunade which is reputed to be the pinnacle of chakra control. By storing chakra over an extended period of time into a specific point on their body — usually the forehead — the user creates this seal which manifests in the form of a rhombus-like marking. Once the seal is formed, the user's already impressive chakra control which is necessary to concentrate and store the chakra over the period of time allows them to perform techniques without any wasted energy or their own chakra. When released, the seal will either spread across the users face, or wrap around their entire body. The stored chakra is released into their body greatly amplifying their medical techniques and physical strength as well.
This seal is also somehow directly linked to Katsuyu, the summon of both users of this seal. As the slug noted, it is directly linked to and supported by the seal.
- When written as '白毫', byakugō means 'Ūrṇā' (Literally meaning: Fine White Hair), which is a white swirl of fine hair on the forehead of the Buddha, represented in art by a spiral or a dot, or even a gem or pearl. It represents the third eye which allows one to see past the mundane world and into the divine world.
- Mito Uzumaki had a similar marking on her forehead. While the Strength of a Hundred Seal seems to be modelled after this in terms of appearance, it is currently unknown if hers is also a Strength of a Hundred Seal.
- Sakura Haruno spent three years storing chakra to form the seal, something Tsunade's first disciple Shizune noted that even she was unable to achieve due to the level of chakra control required.
- Tsunade uses a chakra portion from the seal to maintain her youthful look.
- In the chapters published in Shōnen Jump, the seal was initially identified as "White Strength Seal" (白豪の印, Byakugō no In). It was corrected in the tankōbon version.

Mummy dearest: Images tell child's history
DRAWING BY DEBORAH DERR McCLINTOCK
Q. In the hands of imaging experts, what is "mummography" designed to reveal? a) cancer in women? b) other illness? c) the "patient's" age? d) the patient's gender? e) his or her name?
A. All of the above except a, because unlike mammography, mummography is intended to unlock the secrets harbored by well-preserved ancient mummies, says Stanford Medicine magazine of the University's Medical School.
For instance, a CT scanner at the school was used recently on a 2000-year-old mummified Egyptian child. While early low-resolution scans seemed to indicate that the child, its head drooping forward, had died from a broken neck, better later scans suggest the neck is simply curved, "perhaps because the child's family had stood the mummy up in their home–a common practice among Egyptians of Roman times. After a while the head must have tilted down."
Another goal of the study (still in progress) is to decipher the child's name, written on a plate inside the wrappings. As one museum curator put it, "In a sense the researchers are bringing this particular mummy back to life, which is exactly what the ancient Egyptians wished for."
Q. For new Moms-to-be, what is it about "morning sickness" that isn't? –U. Turner
A. It isn't something that necessarily hits in the morning, and it isn't a sickness at all because healthy women experience the symptoms and bear healthy babies, say Cornell behavioral ecologist Paul W. Sherman and Samuel M. Flaxman in American Scientist. So it's a complete misnomer, prompting the medical community now to use NVP instead, for "nausea and vomiting of pregnancy."
NVP's likely function is to protect the fetus by causing Mom to expel any dangerous foods and to develop aversions to foods that might contain harmful chemicals, such as alcohol and caffeinated beverages. Plus there's likely protection against food-borne microorganisms and against phytochemicals (natural plant defenses, such as in spices).
Accordingly, some studies have indicated strongest aversions to meat, fish, poultry, vegetables, alcohol and caffeinated beverages, say Sherman and Flaxman; cravings run in the opposite direction, for fruits and fruit juices, sweets, chocolate, desserts and dairy–just naturally keeping the menu closer to baby's needs.
Q. Can you name all the colors of the rainbow? Know Roy G Biv? –R. Bratton
A. That's "Roy" as in Red-Orange-Yellow-Green-Blue- Indigo-Violet of the mnemonic, where the shorter wavelength- higher frequency violet light gets slowed more in water and therefore refracted (bent) more than does red light, say Raymond L. Lee Jr and Alistair B. Fraser in The Rainbow Bridge: Rainbows in Art, Myth, and Science.
But water drops in the atmosphere can vary greatly in size, above 2.5 mm radius rarely, typically .5 mm, .1 for a drizzle. Only a shower with quite large drops can produce a bow with vivid colors, and indeed below a drop radius of about 1/3 mm red falls out of the bow. With small drops, the colors may overlap into a pallid or even white bow. With bigger and bigger drops, bow brightness increases, until at .25-1 mm radius the canonical rainbow colors finally appear: "If you like, you may find seven or more colors. We suspect that most readers will, like us, find at most only six distinct colors–red, orange, yellow, green, blue (or perhaps cyan), and violet–for the .3-mm radius drops. Bigger drops, and blue actually disappears," the authors say.
So Roy G Biv may become someone else instead!

Light My Fire
It's happened! I knew it was coming—the data made that clear—but still, it's thrilling. Yes, for the first time, more people are visiting my site with Firefox than Internet Explorer.
Two years ago almost nine out of ten visitors were riding Internet Explorer. One year ago it was down to 64%, with Firefox roaring up the charts. Now Firefox sits on top with 46%, smacking Internet Explorer down to second with 42%.
Okay, it's a little sad, but I really do find this exciting. I've grown into a total geek fanboy since I converted to Linux: once I saw a couple of GNOME developers blogging about Jennifer Government and got all giggly. Tell you what, if open source software coders did tours, I'd be in the front row trying to persuade them to sign a bunch of CDs.
In other news, it's almost Christmas and I live in Australia, so you know what that means: it's time for me to go somewhere sunny and do nothing for a couple of weeks. I'm going to Perth to show off my baby girl to Jen's relatives, so until January, I wish you all the best. (After that, I may be more vindictive.)
And in closing, I have included the photo of Finlay being menaced by a giant rabbit because it amuses me.

The international struggles of our world may lead to… (ka-boom) NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST!
Nothing lends itself better to a fear-based advertising campaign than your family's radioactive death. So when the Mort Kridel Advertising Agency was asked to create a radio ad campaign for Survive-All Fallout Shelters, they did their PR-darnedest to scare the Wonder Bread crap out of nuclear families everywhere. Tense horn stabs and canned explosions bracket sales pitches like:
Radioactive fallout, that deadly by-product of a nuclear attack, will kill literally millions of unprotected families in the event of an atomic attack. Is YOUR family protected? Do YOU have a fallout shelter?
Each Civil defense approved, basement-type, Do-It-Yourself fallout shelter includes: A complete fully-stocked first aid kit! Extra strength saran and rayon bunks! A radiation meter and individual dosimeters!
Civil defense approved, FHA approved, no money down, five years to pay!
Economical… but Priceless!
These are ripped from the original LP that would have gone to radio stations from the ad agency. There are 6 long versions and 3 shortened versions, each fairly different. Since it was promotional there was no record cover, but a scan of the record's label is included. No year is evident, but since the zip code is two digits, it's presumably pre-1963, and I would guess late 1950's.

However, now the shelter is in search of a new home of its own.
The rescue shelter has been struggling to keep its doors open since the landlord at its current site on Liberty Avenue said HAAR wouldn't be able to renew the lease.
HAAR, which currently houses around 100 cats and dogs that were abandoned or removed from abusive owners, breeders or kill shelters, is now working to find the right space that the nonprofit can also afford.
HAAR keeps its doors open with the help of donations and the constant aid of volunteers that clean cages, walk dogs, and do a handful of other jobs.
"Shelter life is very hectic and fast paced," said owner Lori Carpino. "It's hard to find what we need, but we are actively looking."
The shelter is now working to raise between $10,000 and $20,000 to fund a move.
"Moving and setting up a new location will be very costly to us," Carpino said.
Those interested in donating can send a check to 97-14 Liberty Ave., Ozone Park, NY 11417, or transfer funds via PayPal to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Electrical Engineering
ESE 123: Introduction to Electrical and Computer Engineering Introduces basic electrical and computer engineering concepts in a dual approach that includes: laboratories for hands-on wired and computer simulation experiments in analog and logic circuits, and lectures providing concepts and theory relevant to the laboratories. Emphasizes physical insight and applications rather than theory. Pre- or Corequisites: AMS 151 or MAT 125 or 131 or 141; PHY 125 or 131 or 141 4 credits ESE 124: Computer Techniques for Electronic Design I An extensive introduction to problem solving in electrical engineering using the ANSI C language. Topics covered include data types, operations, control flow, functions, data files, numerical techniques, pointers, structures, and bit operations. Students gain experience in applying the C language to the solution of a variety of electrical engineering problems, based on concepts developed in ESE 123. Knowledge of C at the level presented in this course is expected of all electrical engineering students in subsequent courses in the major. Pre- or Corequisites: AMS 151 or MAT 125 or 131 or 141; ESE 123 or equivalent 3 credits ESE 201: Engineering and Technology Entrepreneurship The purpose of this course is to bridge the gap between technical competence and entrepreneurial proficiency. Students are not expected to have any formal business background, but have some background in a technical field. These fields can range from the engineering disciplines to computer science, and from biology and chemistry to medicine. Accordingly, the course will provide the necessary exposure to the fundamentals of business, while minimizing the use of business school jargon.

As I watched the recent NASA above the earth video
I could feel how important it is to preserve the
beauty this earth gives us.
Recently I've seen the opposition from even childrens video
games that promote fighting
Although sometimes defense is necessary
Agression and hurting others just for the fun of it or
for selfish unkind purposes, even anger is not, in order to end violence
we have to start with ourselves then assist to bring it forth
for others, just like a snowball gathers snow.
I believe everyone needs some kind of anger management training,
we all have to learn to control it, by saying how we feel and have
someone to bounce off those feelings to and find out how we can deal with anger in possitive ways.
As a grandma I can share with my children and grchildren the
imporance of helping those around us and each other and how
to creatively and kindly encourage a "No violence" resolution.
Perhaps the question is
"How do we deal and manage the terrorism within"

Margarito "Max" Gomez was known to let people down on their luck stay at his victorian home at 2601 Champa St. that he had subdivided into several apartments.
"He was always trying to help people,'' Max's son Floranzo Gomez, 42, told a Rocky Mountain News reporter in 1997. "He even bonded some of them out of jail when money was short.''
Max, then 77, had his share of bad run ins with tenants as well.
In April of 1996, police arrested one man at the house for investigation of felony menacing after he struck Gomez in the face with his fist and pulled a knife.

You've said "yes" and set a wedding date. Now, how to tackle the barrage of wedding planning details? Before you dive in, you'll want to set a budget.
Without taking this important first step, you risk soon drowning in the cost of calla lilies and string quartets. Begin by selecting your wedding theme and venue, which will determine the style and cost of many of your wedding components. For instance, a beach wedding is often a simpler affair, with fewer flowers, flourishes, and red carpet details than a grand ballroom reception. A destination wedding can be costly, but might mean fewer guests. Your relative costs will vary according to the type of wedding.
At this point you'll also want to roughly determine how many guests you will invite, which will greatly affect the cost of food and drink, among other things. One rule of thumb is to expect to pay $100 per guest. You might adore those 27 second cousins, but they could put a sizable dent in your budget. Discuss expectations for budget and guests with your fiancé and parents so that everyone starts out on the same page.
Make a list of wedding elements and decide with your partner where you want to splurge and where you'd be willing to cut back. Include flowers, cake, alcohol service (open bar, beer and wine or just champagne for the toast?), invitations, entertainment, photography, videography, dress and tux, favors, transportation, and any other elements that your vision and venue might require.
For many brides, the wedding gown and the photography are the two elements that should not be compromised on. Your wedding memories will be forever captured in your photography and videography, so you will most likely want a top-notch photography and a video package that will allow you to own and limitlessly reproduce the images of your big day. And you'll want to look and feel your best both on your wedding day and in the photographs you'll keep forever, so consider going for a dream gown. Chances are that your guests are not going to remember the look and flavor of your wedding cake or the color of your flowers, but they will remember how gorgeous you looked, so carefully consider your priorities.
A little web research will tell you that the average wedding costs $27,000. That might be a lot more or a lot less than you're planning to spend, but it does give you a rough idea of what kind of costs you'll be working with. Bear in mind that every wedding is unique and that the costs will be unique, as well. Maybe your beach or front-yard venue will be free, giving you more to spend on food and beverages. Or maybe your favorite band is a bit pricey, in which case you might opt for a chicken dinner instead of filet mignon.
A little more web research will bring up something similar to the following cost breakdown of the typical wedding. While there are no hard and fast rules about what to spend on each component of your wedding, the following chart might be a good place to start. Your wedding day is your individual vision that will reflect the two of you, so definitely change or break the rules and improvise where necessary!

I've taken the map for Ep 5 about as far as I can; I'll add the restaurants later (if I ever find them ).
I think what you wrote earlier is true: that's it's part of some hotel. Just a guess, but the confessionals and the breakfast room are at the same place (straw/bamboo decor), which is different from Ciao Cuoco. I went through some hotel photos but gave up after a while. Stone & Co. doesn't thank the vendors in the closing credits the way WRP does.

A row about graveside memorials rumbled on as protestors staged a demonstration outside a church.
Families were outraged after items were removed from gravestones at Thornhill Parish Church, under the orders of the Diocese of West Yorkshire and the Dales.
People gathered at the church last Thursday to put back precious mementoes that had been stuffed into plastic bags by church wardens. A small silent protest was also held on Sunday to protest against the move. Bishop of Pontefract Tony Robison attended to speak to families.
Resident Shaun Maddox, who organised the protest, left a voicemail for the Rector of Thornhill, the Rev Sue Clarke, warning her to stay away from the churchyard as emotions were running high. Mr Maddox was arrested on suspicion of sending a 'malicious communication', but was released without charge. Another protest is planned for this Sunday.
Meanwhile, other residents have said they appreciated the tidy up effort. Anne Robinson, of Henley Avenue, Thornhill, said: "I was really impressed by how neat and tidy the area looked." Her husband was buried in the cremated remains area of the church five years ago.

Teen Mobs Gone Wild: Youth Raid Convenience Store In Dallas & Beat On Store Clerk!
"Dallas police are investigating a convenience store robbery in which a group of teens attacked a clerk. The melee, which was caught on video, happened last month at the Exxon Tiger Mart at South Polk Street and Interstate 20, WFAA-TV (Channel 8) reports. A large crowd of young people entered the store about 10:15 p.m. and began throwing bottles at one another. When the clerk confronted them and tried to close the door, someone in the crowd punches him, knocking him to the ground. "Once they got me on the ground, I thought they were going to kill me," C.J. Thomas told Channel 8's Monika Diaz. Fortunately, two girls helped him up and pulled him out of harm's way." - Dallas News

Our exceptional medical teams and the generous support of people like you enable us to provide every child who comes to us with the hope of improved health. Children's Hospital is a nonprofit facility. No child who needs our services is denied care on the basis of limited ability to pay.
Many of our doctors and surgeons are nationally recognized researchers who are finding new ways to cure and prevent childhood diseases. Their work preventing and treating premature birth, cancer, heart disease, spina bifida, and many other conditions is an investment in the future. We are at an important crossroads in child health. Our commitment to research and advocacy positions us to bring the promise of good health to children and families in our community and to share that hope with the world.
