Presenting yourself online in an emotionally available way can result in that flush of new love that we are all looking for. But what happens when your Mister or Miss Awesome is far away? What can we learn about long-distance relationships to make the time-space factor easier to deal with? Is there anything that such a relationship can teach those of us not willing to take such a risk?
By way of presenting my bone fides, my last two relationships have been long distance. For two and a half years while living in San Francisco I dated a man from Seattle. Later, for more than three years, I dated a man from Hamilton, Ontario. For the first year I was in North Carolina, but I moved to Buffalo, NY, in order to be closer. Of course, even though we were less than one hour apart by car, there was an international border to cross any time we wanted to cuddle!
After six years of doing this, I'd be willing to do it again (although I don't need to, thankfully!) because of the things I've learned by going through the process. These same points are valuable for "local" relationships as well as Long Distance Relationships (LDRs)
1) Communication! Communication! Communication!
Humans are remarkable animals: our physical and mental structure is patterned in such a way that we can communicate beyond mere words via posture, tone, and even pheromones and other body functions. Communication in long distance is largely relegated to text-only, and so it is important that all parties in a LDR verbally communicate as much as possible all the things that are usually contained in subtext. Since your location is divided, your communication must be extreme.
The most important thing that I've learned as a writer is that humor, especially sarcasm and irony, fail miserably on-line. Attempting to communicate in a "sassy" way will blow up in your face. Trying to ironically understate the importance of something will result in your partner thinking it's not important. Words online have to be 100% literal. Unless you're an amazing writer of romance, please don't do it. Full Stop.
The second most important thing I've learned is that if it's worse everything is important. During the first relationship, the SF-STL one, we flew back and forth each month, taking turns. Sometimes we managed to see each other for two weekends in the same month! We saw each other so often that we forgot to communicate in the day-to-day. Things that needed to be said were always held off until the next time we saw each other. The result was emotional time bombs that usually exploded moments after one or the other of us stepped out of the Alaska Air terminal, most often on the drive home.
Remember to say things when they are important to be said even in text. Don't store up all that emotional energy for the next time you see each other.
2) Virtualize! Virtualize! Virtualize!
This builds on the last item and leads to the next. There are some times when you and your new love can not be together. But there is no reason not to try! Communication on the internet has been busted wide open by the use of smartphones and mobile technology. Now there's video chat and unlimited data/calling plans to keep you in touch. The New York Times Magazine calls this "Ambient Intimacy". Regular relationships have this build in by physical proximity. Those of us in LDRs need to make our own with tech.
Zoosk lets you communicate with each other via text or video chat. This makes chatting easier and can enhance your intimacy during those times that you are apart from each other.
When I was dating the Canadian he got a phone number from Google Voice that was local to me in North Carolina. The service was (and is) free and it forwarded to his Canadian Cell phone and let me talk to him whenever I wanted. His own calling plan let him call the States so we were never fall apart. My Google Voice account now allows me text him directly from my computer for free.
Skype facilitates international calling at discount rates, but also allows for video chat. One friend of mine calls family in Poland (for free!) as often as she can to show live pictures of her child.
3) Bilocation! Bilocation! Bilocation!
Unless there has been a clear and open agreement, you're not setting up shop in one place. You have to set up shop in two places for this relationship to work.
Hamilton, Ontario, became my second home. More people in Hamilton knew who I was than in Buffalo! I would walk up James Street North, for the monthly Art Crawl and be waived at from shop windows, get hugs on the street, etc. My partner worked just as hard to know people in Buffalo, although with less success – mostly because of Population Density in the American Rust Belt, but also because people in Hamilton are so durned friendly!
Using Zoosk's Romantic Social Network you can build a profile for the two of you that you share with your friends in both locations. You can post pictures, share comments about eateries in either location, and let the friends in one place know about what happened last weekend when you were out of town. And, of course, you can share your personal events with your friends in both places. If you link it up with Facebook and Twitter, even when you go on vacation you can make posts that all your circles can share.
You need to move easily between two worlds. The stereotyped image is "I have a drawer in my partner's bedroom." But the reality you need two lives: it's a huge pain to only have a change of clothes for a long weekend – better to have several in the house. Shoes need to live in two places.
In a "regular" relationship this has obvious analogues: your circles of friend may never integrate; they may never even meet until your engagement party. But you and your partner need to move easily in both worlds and in the third world that you are creating together.
4. For the rest of you…
Clearly LDRs are special cases, but they underscore the weakness and strengths of "regular" relationships too. Communication is the key in all cases. A friend of mine, a clergy person, told a couple, "You never have to lie to each other, ever." This holds true in LDRs and in other types of relationships. There's a desire to only put your best foot forward, but the reality is that all the rest of you is going to show up sooner or later – and all the rest of your intended as well! Don't use your online time to hide that as it will only break you up in the end.
And here's the last thing I learned: both of my Long-Distance Relationships ended because of a change in my life that I failed to communicate successfully. In both cases, I downplayed the change, I even covered it over a little. But ultimately I had to be honest and it was that that caused the breakup to happen.
When you are not living in close proximity with the person you are dating (or, sometimes, when you are) it is possible to hide the parts of your life that might make the other party uncomfortable. These can be small parts (pets, family) or huge (religion, health, eating habits, etc). When you meet the prospective love of your life online, you need to bring your entire self to the table, online already creates a filter, don't hinder the process by holding back anything that may be important to the relationship.

I've been trying to get this done for days and the deadline is tomorrow...
The patients who are registered at the Smiley GoodDoctors practice can see any of the specialists. The practice keeps track of patients, doctors, and visits by patients to doctors in three text files. When the patient information system is booted up, it initializes itself by loading information from these files. Then, it present a menu based interface to the front desk staff. Staff can add patients, doctors, and record visits. They can also list visit information in various ways, and confirm appointments. When the system is shut down, all new doctors, patients, and visits are written into the text files so that they will be in the system.
The format for the patient file is as follows Fname|Lname|ssn|city|state
The format for the doctor file is Fname|Lname|npi|specialty
The format for the visit file is Patientssn|npi|date
Note: NPI refers to National Provider ID, which is a 10 digit number that identifies all health providers for insurance purposes. Sample data files are provided with the assignment, but you should add additional records for testing.
The functionality provided in the menu system should be as follows: Add a patient Add a doctor Add a visit
List all visits on a given date. The display should show patient name and ssn, provider name and specialty, and the date. The display should be sorted by provider name.
List all visits for a patient. The display should show provider name, specialty, and the date. The display should be sorted by date.
List all visits for a provider. The display should show patient name, ssn, and the date. The display should be sorted by patient last name.
Confirm if a particular patient has or had an appointment with a particular doctor on a given date.
please help!
the Patient, doctor, and visit classes are completely finished I'm just struggling with the menu system and the menu itself and I have been lost completely
import java.io.*; import java.util.*; public class MenuSystem { private ArrayList<Patient> patients; private ArrayList<Visit> visits; private ArrayList<Doctor> physicians; public MenuSystem() { patients = new ArrayList<Patient>(); visits = new ArrayList<Visit>(); physicians = new ArrayList<Doctor>(); } public void writePatient() { try { ObjectOutputStream os = new ObjectOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("Patients.txt")); os.writeObject(patients); os.close(); } catch (FileNotFoundException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } } public void readPatient() { try{ ObjectInputStream is = new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream("Patients.txt")); Patient p = (Patient) is.readObject(); System.out.print(p.toString()); is.close(); } catch (FileNotFoundException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } catch(ClassNotFoundException e){ e.printStackTrace(); } } public void addPatient(Patient name) { patients.add(name); } public void addPhysician(Doctor physician) { physicians.add(physician); } public void addVisit(Visit visit) { visits.add(visit); } }

Review: Sony Tablet S
Initially, the Tablet S was supposed to be part of our big tablet roundup. Requests for review samples repeatedly ignored, so we went ahead and forgot about them.
Well you'd never guess, but comments like "if you're looking for the perfect tablet, you have two choices" tend to get to get a company's attention. At least, when that company isn't one of those two choices.
Shiny new Tablet S in hand mere days later, I set off to find out if it could be a worthy contender against the Fire and iPad.
First, the Hardware stuff
Sporting a gorgeous 9.4-inch 1,280x800 resolution IPS LCD, the Tablet S seems highly similar to the Galaxy Tab. But where the Tab is almost impossibly thin, the Tablet S is somewhat adorably plump. The top edge (when the S is placed horizontally) is actually almost an inch thick, while the bottom edge is half that. I rather like the airfoil design, as it props up the screen so you can see it better when on a desk, and angles it so it's easier to type. Sadly, the extra chassis real estate isn't used as much for connectivity as you'd hope; the device sports just a micro USB and a (admittedly welcome) SD card slot. These are hidden behind a difficult-to-access door that seems superfluous. With all that room an HDMI output would have been nice.
Like many of the current crop of tablets, the S has a proprietary power supply. I don't care how awesome your portable device is, if I can't charge it via USB I'm taking points off. I mention this in the big feature too, so it's not just a Sony thing.
Inside is a 1 GHz, dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 CPU. Normally I don't mention the guts as who cares, but in this case it has a positive effect on the usability. The S moves at a lighting pace, rarely pausing while you tap and slide through the Android 3.2 OS. It's got cameras and GPS and stuff, but as I said in the initial tablet feature, I don't care.
What Really Matters
As I concluded with the other tablets, as far as we're concerned, it's the content that matters. Most people want to use their tablets to watch movies and TV shows, so the strength of a tablet lies directly (and almost solely) in its access to media. iPad and iTunes, Fire and Amazon, these tablets have potentially near-unlimited content. That's what makes them so good, and so far they're the only real tablets to consider.
Sony has a potential "byte up" so to speak, given that the company has its own music labels and movie studios. This has been a blessing and a curse for Sony in the past, as it has lagged behind competitors when the hardware side of the business wasn't allowed by the software side to implement certain features or compete with certain product categories.
The Sony Entertainment Network offerings are Music Unlimited and Video Unlimited. Music Unlimited is a pay service, either $3.99 or $9.99 a month, that gives you access to a "global catalog of 10 million tracks." You can stream these, Spotify style. I can't speak to every taste in music, but selection seems to be pretty good.
Video Unlimited allows you to rent or buy TV shows and movies, and download them to the S. Sony has licensing deals with many other studios, so it's not all just Sony content. With no way to definitively cross-test iTunes, Amazon, and Sony's VU, I took a stab searching for shows I would want to watch, and noting when I couldn't find something. A few weren't available on any platform, most were on all, but a few shows were noticeably missing on VU (Lost and Gray's Anatomy) specifically. I doubt that these are the only two shows not on VU but available elsewhere.
So can you find shows to watch on your next trip? Absolutely. Will they be exactly the shows you wanted to watch? Maybe. That's a significant leap above all the also-ran tablet offerings (including Samsung's meager Media Hub), though not quite reaching the bar set by Apple and Amazon. Perhaps more troubling is the inability to download HD, at all. True it's a small screen and it looks plenty detailed, but it is an HD screen.
You can also get Netflix. The SD upconverting is decent, though not quite as detailed as it is on the Galaxy Tab. At the moment there's no Hulu Plus.
Unexpectedly, the Video Unlimited service is going to be available on other Android tablets, in some ways diminishing the Tablet S's "uniqueness" but at the same time a smart move for Sony as a whole.
Bottom Line
The Tablet S is an interesting product, actually finding its own niche in the tablet landscape. It does a lot more than the Fire, and costs less than the iPad. The Video Unlimited service is surprisingly good, with great selection of TV shows and movies to rent or buy.
If, like I said in the original feature, the Fire and iPad are tied for first place in the tablet world, with all others in a distant last, the S is a reasonably close runner up. Available content is 99.9% of the reason to buy a tablet. With iTunes and Amazon, this is as extensive as currently possible. Sony's Video Unlimited is bit more, what's the word? lim... lim... let's go with "abridged." It may be 90% to iTunes/Amazon's 100%, but in that case, why would you, ahem, limit yourself to 90%? If you have to have a full tablet computer, but for some reason don't want an iPad, then the Tablet S is your next best option. Once Video Unlimited becomes available on other tablets, this dully ringing endorsement will become even more muted. Would the Galaxy Tab with VU be a contender? Maybe, but I like the form factor of the S a bit better, personally.
I like the Tablet S, and in a world without the iPad it'd would be a real winner. But in a world without the iPad, ironically enough, the S wouldn't exist either.

Good solid mieeoe. Looks to be well built. Installation a bit challenging, but this is due mainly to type of vehicle, head liner removal and finding a spare 5 amp fused supply. Generally a good solid piece. Compass sets itself with a couple to 5 circles of driving. Generally accurate. Auto dimming works too but too new to tell overall performance. Was satisfied with mirror and service from Aito anything. Thanks.

Omen (AddOn)
- Were you looking for the Lunar Festival, outdoor raid boss encounter named Omen?
An AddOn that graphically displays relative threat (aggro) generated toward a particular target.
With patch 3.0, exact values for threat are available from the Blizzard API.
Since patch 3.0.2, Omen no longer does many of these things (threat extrapolation) and the need for a threat library is no longer necessary. Omen3 uses Blizzard's new in-built threat monitor to obtain exact values of every members threat. This means Omen3 has no need for synchronisation of data, combat log parsing or guessing, resulting in a significant increase in performance with regards to network traffic, CPU time and memory used. The implementation of boss modules for specific threat events (such as Nightbane wiping threat on landing) are also no longer necessary.
- Fully configurable display, which allows you to change virtually all colors, textures, and sizes, letting you customize the meter to fit into your UI as you best see fit.
- Class filtering, allowing you to ignore classes whose threat you aren't interested in.
- Absolute threat, relative threat percentage, and threat-per-second (TPS) values
- Aggro gain indicator to help you see when you might pull (or lose) aggro.
- Pull-out threat bars that allow you to compare your threat level against a tank's threat level in single, easy-to-understand bar format. No more scanning a list of 25 people to ensure you stay below a tank - just pull off their bar from the main display and you can monitor your threat level versus theirs to ensure that you stay safe.
- Optional display for threat values from KLH Threat Meter, so that even if your groupmates are not using Omen, you can still see approximate threat from them. Please be aware that as KTM is an aggregate meter and not aware of multiple targets, any values from it will be incorrect in any multi-mob encounter beyond the first mob.

ASK American Kennel Club
Dear AKC: I have two wonderful German Shorthaired Pointers I got from rescue. The older male could care less about our pool but the younger female wants to be near the family when we go swimming. I've heard chlorine is bad for their eyes, bad to drink and causes ear infections. How true are these claims and can I safely take her swimming with us? -- Swimming with Shorthairs.
Dear Swimming: Many dogs enjoy a plunge in the pool with their owners during the warm summer months. Most "pool people" will tell you that chlorine is safe at the levels used in pools. Humans swim in it and occasionally will ingest some water accidentally without great harm. A dog's eyes, nose and ears are more sensitive than a human's and as such may be a tad more susceptible to the effects of chlorine. I wouldn't want the dog to drink large amounts of chlorine. Some dogs think of the pool as one big personal dog bowl to lap up, not unlike the toilet bowl. This behavior should be discouraged. As for the ears, most infections in dogs with floppy ears are caused by water and dampness, not the chlorine in the water.
Some pool owners opt for non-chlorine chemicals like bromine which may be less harmful to pets. To be on the safe side, give your dog a quick spray with the hose to rinse off the chemicals after a swim and give his ears a dab with a dry towel or use a blow dryer to keep them moisture free.
Safety Rules
More important than what your dog swims in is how it learns to swim. Your younger Shorthair may be very interested in joining the family in a round of ring toss, but first you must build confidence in your dog around the pool. Many dogs are fearful the first time they enter the water. Take it slowly and praise your dog each step of the way. Making it a pleasant experience will have the dog swimming in no time. You don't have to teach the dog to "swim" since they are natural swimmers. It is easy to teach a dog to jump in the pool, either toss a toy in the pool or escort her over the side.
However, most dogs begin to panic when it is time to get out for the first time. They are unaccustomed to exiting using the human steps or ladder and need to be taught how to use them. A thrashing dog trying to escape will get tired and may drown. Never leave your dog unsupervised in a pool. They may need your assistance if they are in trouble and can't bark to grab your attention. With proper guidance you and your pet can have lots of fun in the pool and if you are lucky he can teach you the proper way to do the dog paddle.

UPDATE: A landmark moratorium on Brazilian soya that was set to end May 2016 has been extended indefinitely.
The initiative prevents major traders selling soya that may be linked to deforestation in the Amazon, which has recently been increasing. This was the first official data on Amazon deforestation to come to light since Brazil controversially changed the Forest Code in 2012. This move, backed by the country's powerful farmers' lobby, weakened legislation on forest conservation and land use.

Nintendo has revealed in a neat infographic that Pokémon X and Y have become the fastest titles on 3DS to sell 1 million units, doing so in only 1 day. By comparison, Mario Kart 7 took 4 weeks, Super Mario 3D Land took 6 weeks, and New Super Mario Bros. 2 took 16 weeks. The graphic also reports that 1 in 5 3DS owners own Pokémon X or Y and that sales of 3DS units themselves jumped 135% since the launch of the two sister games.
As someone who personally saw the NYC Nintendo World turnout for the premier of Pokémon X and Y, I can tell you that I'm not terribly surprised. Still, those are some impressive numbers.

By Aditi Malhotra and Saptarishi Dutta
Delhi has long been considered one of the most unsafe big cities for women in India. And north India is often referred to as more violent, more patriarchal, and more crime-ridden than the south.
To add some perspective to this debate, here is a look at statistics on reported rapes around the country.
These data carry the caveat that there may be higher reporting rates in different areas and reporting is not necessarily indicative of the prevalence of the crime. Victims may be reluctant to report rape because of fears their case will not be taken seriously and police may be reluctant to register complaints.
In 2011, a total of 24,206 rape cases were registered in India, according to data released by the National Crime Records Bureau.
Of those, 6,227 were reported in northern India, which we defined as nine northern states: Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Rajasthan, Punjab, Uttarakhand, as well as the regions of Delhi and Chandigarh.
The reported number in the south – Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Puducherry – was 3,894 cases.
There were 1.02 rapes reported per 100,000 in 2011 in Uttar Pradesh, which has a population of 199.6 million. In Andhra Pradesh, the equivalent figure was 1.70 per 100,000; its population is 84.7 million.
The north and south together account for 10,121 cases, approximately 40% of the 2011 reported rapes.
The eastern, north-eastern, western and central states account for the remainder.
In the northeast – Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura – 2,246 cases were reported in 2011.
In eastern India — Bihar, Odisha and West Bengal – there were 4,409 rapes reported, more than in all of southern India.
The central and western states of Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Goa (as well as the regions of Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu) accounted for 7,417 cases.
According to the NCRB, in 2011, Murshidabad, a district in West Bengal, recorded the highest number of reported rapes for a single district (433 cases) and of molestation cases (621.)
Chhattisgarh's Durg Bhilainagar reported the highest rate of reported rape per 100,000 residents, at 5.7, more than double Delhi's ratio of 2.8 per 100,000.
Some experts say northern India is perhaps worse than elsewhere in that women may have a harder time in registering complaints effectively.
Vrinda Grover, a lawyer in the Supreme Court, says that in northern India "women are not comfortable going up to the police and filing a complaint or, in a similar situation, the police don't lodge a complaint."
That has been borne out by the recent news of an 18-year-old girl in the northern state of Punjab, who complained to police in November that she was gang raped by three men but committed suicide last week because of alleged police inaction.
According to a report in Outlook Magazine, the police registered her complaint 14 days after the incident took place and asked uncomfortable questions every time she went to follow-up on her complaint.
One police official in the woman's village of Badshahpur has been disciplined, said Patiala's Superintendent of Crime Jaipal Singh on Wednesday without divulging further details.
Since the gang-rape and death of a 23-year-old physiotherapy student in Delhi last month, further incidents of rape have been reported prominently in India's newspapers.
The Times of India reported two in Wednesday's edition, both in Uttar Pradesh. The Asian Age reported an attempt by five men in Delhi to kidnap and rape a 24-year-old woman.
However, activists play down the notion that one area of the country is inherently safer for women than others.
"I'm afraid we do not have enlightened zones anywhere in the country," said Ms. Grover.
Ruth Manorama, president of the National Alliance for Women, added: "It is not a north India phenomena, it is an all India phenomena."

Before the shapers came, the humans were the only intelligent beings in Tryor. They wandered the world in loose tribes and hunted animals. In the days of the shapers, members of the human race became slaves. They were adaptable and bred quickly, making them useful in almost any setting. Though not designed for any specific task their sheer numbers made them useful. When the shapers left, the human race settled wherever they found themselves, building communities out of whatever was on hand and forming the beginnings of nations.
Personality: Humans are flexible, adaptable, ambitious, and driven. Without the shapers looming overhead, the humans have quickly developed extremely varied cultures and customs. Their short lifespan means that several generations have passed since the fall of the shapers, though those being born today may have a grandparent who fought the illithid uprising. Humans generally have outlooks based partially on their community and it's location, as well as local customs.
Physical Description: Humans typically stand between 5 feet and 6-1/2 feet tall and weigh from 100 to 250 pounds, with men noticeably taller and heavier than women. Thanks to their dispersed origins and their short life spans, humans are more physically diverse than other common races. Their skin shades range from nearly black ferrarans to very pale myralian refugees, their hair from black to blond (curly, kinky, or straight), and their facial hair (for men) from sparse to thick. Many humans have a dash of nonhuman blood here or there, and many may demonstrate hints of elven, orcish, or other lineages. Members of this race are often ostentatious or unorthodox in their grooming and dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, body piercings, and the like. Humans have short life spans, reaching adulthood at about age 15 and rarely living even a single century.
Relations: Just as readily as they mix with each other, humans mix rather well with members of other races, and they are known as "everyone's second-best friends." Humans serve as ambassadors, diplomats, magistrates, merchants, and functionaries of all kinds. They are the only race the elves don't immediately mark as abominations, allowing them exclusive access to elven settlements, though these visits are often rare.
Alignment: Humans tend toward no particular alignment, not even neutrality. The best and the worst are found among them.
Human Lands: Human lands are in flux, with new ideas, social changes, innovations, and new leaders constantly coming to the fore. Members of longer-lived races find human culture exciting but eventually a little wearying or even bewildering. Since humans lead such short lives, their leaders are all young compared to the political, religious, and military leaders among the other races. Even where individual humans are conservative traditionalists, human institutions change with the generations, adapting and evolving faster than parallel institutions among the elves, dwarves, gnomes, and halflings. Individually and as a group, humans are adaptable opportunists, and they stay on top of changing political dynamics. Human lands generally include relatively large numbers of nonhumans (compared, for instance, to the number of non-elves who live in elven communities).
Language: Humans speak Common. They typically learn other languages as well, including obscure ones, and they are fond of sprinkling their speech with words borrowed from other tongues: Elven curses, halfling musical expressions, orc military phrases, and so on.
Names: Human names vary greatly. Without a unifying factor to give them a touchstone for their culture, and with such a fast breeding cycle, humans mutate socially at a fast rate. Human culture, therefore, is more diverse than other cultures, and no human names are truly typical. Some human parents give their children dwarven, elven, or halfling names (pronounced more or less correctly).
Adventurers: Human adventurers are the most audacious, daring, and ambitious members of an audacious, daring, and ambitious race. A human can earn glory in the eyes of her fellows by amassing power, wealth, and fame. Humans, more than other people, champion causes rather than territories or groups.
- Medium: As Medium creatures, humans have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.
- Human base land speed is 30 feet.
- 1 extra feat at 1st level, because humans are quick to master specialized tasks and varied in their talents.
- 4 extra skill points at 1st level and 1 extra skill point at each additional level, since humans are versatile and capable. (The 4 skill points at 1st level are added on as a bonus, not multiplied in.)
- +2 Racial Bonus to any one type of Profession check. Most humans are raised in the traditions of a specific profession, to follow in their family's footsteps.
- Automatic Language: Common. Bonus Languages: Any (other than secret languages, such as Druidic). Humans mingle with all kinds of other folk and thus can learn any language found in an area.
- Favored Class: Any. When determining whether a multiclass human takes an experience point penalty, her highest-level class does not count.

Q: I am bringing my fish inside for the winter. What do I need?
Carol – Afton, MN
A: In last week's blog, we talked about how deep your pond needs to be to overwinter your fish outdoors. As promised, this week we'll talk about what to do if your pond is less than 18 inches deep or you think your temperatures are too cold outside for your finned friends.
Bring 'm Inside!
Do you have a pole barn? A garage? A basement? An unused outbuilding? These places make perfect indoor places to overwinter your fish. Koi and goldfish begin their wintertime dormancy at about 45 degrees Fahrenheit, so it's best to choose a space that hovers at about this temperature or below.
The Gear
To prepare your fishes' winter home, you'll need some special supplies, including:
- Stock Tank or Holding Tank: This will be your indoor pond area. Because your fish will be dormant they won't need a huge pond to live in, so you can get away with smaller quarters. Choose a tank that's sized appropriately for the number and size of your fish. To make the transition easier, use a siphon to fill the holding tank with water from your pond.
- Pond Netting: The close quarters might surprise your fish and they could try to make a jump for it, so make sure you cover the tank with The Pond Guy® Premium Pond Netting and secure it with bungee cords or other tie-downs. That will keep them safe and secure.
- Aeration System: Just as you aerate your water garden, you'll need to aerate your holding tank to keep the water oxygenated. An energy-efficient PondAir™ Aeration Kit will work in setups up to 2,000 gallons; a KoiAir™ Aeration System will work in larger setups with more fish.
- Filter: If your region is warmer, you might consider adding a ClearSolution™ Filtration System (for setups less than 1,200 gallons) or AllClear™ Pressurized Filter (for larger setups) to keep your water clear and your fish healthy.
Wintertime Chores
Caring for your fish in their indoor digs is similar to what you do when they're outside. Because the living quarters are cramped, check your water parameters with a test kit once a week or so to ensure the water quality is safe. Also, check you water levels and add water as needed, and keep an eye on the equipment to make sure it's working properly.
Other than that, your fish should be just fine through the winter. Once spring rolls around and water temperatures warm up, they'll be ready to stretch their fins!
Pond Talk: If you overwinter your fish indoors, what kind of setup do you have?

A Freeport businessman is expected to become the new state representative for the 89th district, which includes parts of Whiteside, Carroll and Ogle counties.
Republican officials are set to announce tonight their selection of Brian Stewart to replace Rep. Jim Sacia, R-Pecatonica, who is resigning at the end of September.
Thirteen men applied for the position. The district also includes Stephenson, Jo Daviess and Winnebago counties. Nearly half the voters are in Freeport-based Stephenson County.
One of the candidates, Dan Stevens, said he received a letter Tuesday saying that the Republican chairmen from the six counties have picked Stewart, a former Stephenson County GOP chairman, to replace Sacia.
Stevens, owner and publisher of Stephenson County's weekly Village Voices, said he liked the choice.
"Brian Stewart is not a professional politician. He is willing to make the difficult choices. He's got a good head on his shoulders," he said.
Stevens said he had been considering running in the March primary for the position, but wouldn't because he has confidence in Stewart.
The letter, he said, encouraged the applicants not to challenge Stewart in the primary.
Stewart, president and CEO of Nationwide Inbound Inc., didn't return numerous calls for comment Monday and Tuesday.
In an interview with Freeport's Journal-Standard earlier this month, Stewart said his experience as a law enforcement officer, elected official, member of the armed services, and owner of a small business prepared him for helping solve the state's problems.
"From public service to private-sector job creation, I feel I could provide the broad base of knowledge and passion for service that Rep. Sacia has provided for over a decade," Stewart said.
In July, Stewart announced that Inbound, which he founded in 1997, would add up to 40 positions at its call center by year's end to handle a growing list of clients around the world, according to the Journal-Standard.
Now, the business has 85 operators and 15 management staff, the newspaper reported.
The party chairmen's votes are weighted on the number of voters who cast ballots for Sacia in their respective counties in the 2012 election.
Stephenson County claimed 16,478 of Sacia's 41,340 votes. He got 943 votes in Whiteside County, 3,983 in Ogle County and 4,284 in Carroll County.
Under state law, the GOP gets to pick Sacia's replacement because he is a Republican.
Sacia, a former FBI agent, is in his sixth term as a lawmaker, having served about 11 years. He says he may run for another office.
The GOP made its choice in a conference call Sept. 9, but Republicans have been keeping their selection secret.
"We are in the process of notifying the applicants of our decision and believe, out of respect for them, that it would be inappropriate to release the name of the appointee before then," Stephenson County Republican Chairman Andrew Smith said in a statement Monday.
He said all of the party chairmen made public announcements about the open position and gave people 10 days to apply.
Besides Stewart and Stevens, the other applicants for the position are Winnebago Village President Frank Eubank; Terry Ingram of Apple River; Ron Colson of Mount Morris; Steven Kelley of Thomson; Tim Clay of Dakota; Dean Wright of Pearl City; Justin St. Clair of Leaf River; Shawn Connors, former village president of Pecatonica; Dan Packard and Michael Lehmann of Lena; and Doug Knodle of Byron.
To attend
Republicans will announce their appointee for Rep. Jim Sacia of Pecatonica's seat at an event at 5:30 p.m. today at the Freeport Public Library, 100 E. Douglas St.

I've seen countless people write about their experiences and share screenshots (not always in public places, so I'm not going to be able to link to all of them). If I start linking to them now, how many will be disappointed that I forgot them? Oh well, I'll risk this and add that if you have written about your experiences or just showed screenshots, please leave a comment with the link here, so I can add it (if you've written several ones, I'll just link to your website instead). :)
The first beta weekend event took place from April 27 to April 29. We were there when the servers went live (an hour earlier than anticipated) and we were there when the servers went offline this morning (EU time). We were also there to witness the death of the legendary white bunny! But let's leave that for a later time. ;) Bookahnerk has also filmed his gameplay and will edit and upload them to our youtube channel at some point. He spent most of his time doing silly things in WvW, though. My own thoughts will follow later, but you can already take a look at The Lion's Arch Screenshoty Gallery.
So let's have a look what others have written about the BWE already:
- Hunter's Insight has a few posts about the overflow shard, karma hearts and a live report.
- GuildMag also has several postings, including A first-timer's view of Guild Wars 2 in 3 parts.
- Syp from BioBreak lists 30 things about Guild Wars 2′s beta weekend.
- A critical view of WvW comes from Werit.
- Live like a nerd has written about the quest mechanics.
- Pete Smith has shared his general impressions.
- GWOnline has a few interesting topics. One of them is a critical look at the real money transactions.
- Guildwars2journal has some WvW footage.
- Rakuno's First Beta Weekend Impressions at Shards of Imagination.

The School of Business offers two graduate degrees: a master of business administration and a master of business administration in professional accountancy. The curricula for both degrees consist of 35 credits of graduate study. Full-time students can complete the degree requirements within a 10-month period by enrolling in five courses in both the spring and fall semesters, and two courses in the first summer session. Students enrolled on a part-time basis have up to six years to complete the degree requirements.
M.B.A. classes begin in late August and continue through the first summer session, which ends in late June. Courses meet Monday through Thursday during the spring and fall semesters. One M.B.A. course meets from 4:00 to 5:15 p.m.; all other courses meet from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.
Extensive work experience is not required for admission to the M.B.A. programs; however, applicants should have a cumulative undergraduate grade point average of 3.00 or better and a minimum Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) score of 500.
All applicants are required to take the GMAT; official GMAT scores must be sent to the Division of Graduate Studies at Ithaca College. Information about the GMAT can be obtained from GMAT, Educational Testing Service, P.O. Box 6103, Princeton, NJ 08541-6103; 800-462-8669; www.ets.org.
Educational Testing Service
Applications are considered on an ongoing basis and processed in the order they are received until August 1. After August 1, candidates should contact the M.B.A. program director for instructions on how to submit a late application. Candidates whose completed applications are received by April 15 are given first consideration for scholarships.
Tuition in the M.B.A. program has been set at $625 per credit for the 2006-7 academic year.
All applicants are considered for M.B.A. merit scholarships, and no separate scholarship application is required. In most cases, scholarship awards are determined by May 1 and recipients will be notified by May 15. Candidates whose completed applications are received by April 15 are given first consideration for scholarships.
Students who do not meet all of the requirements for matriculation may be admitted provisionally on a case-by-case basis. At the discretion of the admission committee, certain provisionally admitted students may only be allowed to enroll in a maximum of three M.B.A. courses in their first semester and, therefore, will be unable to complete the M.B.A. program in one year.
A maximum of six credits may be taken in Ithaca's M.B.A. program on an extramural basis.
Students with a bachelor's degree in a non-business field must complete preparatory undergraduate business coursework (equivalent to Ithaca College's management minor) before matriculation into the M.B.A. program. To assist students in meeting these preparatory course requirements, the School of Business offers pre-M.B.A. workshops. These intensive graduate-level workshops are designed to provide the business terminology and key business concepts necessary for graduate business coursework. Successful completion of all four pre-M.B.A. workshops will fulfill the preparatory undergraduate course requirements for admission to the M.B.A. program.1 Pre-M.B.A. workshop credits cannot be applied toward the M.B.A. degree requirements.
Ithaca College students currently pursuing a non-business undergraduate degree may obtain the preparatory undergraduate coursework by enrolling in Ithaca College's management minor.1 Comparable minors and individual courses are generally available at other institutions. However, upper-level courses (300- and 400-level) taken elsewhere must be taken at an AACSB-accredited four-year institution.

Home > Tyne & Wear > Newcastle upon Tyne > Neptune Energy Park
An "extreme" engineering centre is to be built in Newcastle upon Tyne to help develop subsea technology.
The £7 million Neptune National Centre will be created on the River Tyne. Business Secretary Vince Cable unveiled the centre as part of a new oil and gas strategy and said "The UK's oil and gas sector is crucial to the economy, so we've worked closely with the sector on today's industrial strategy. But its future success relies on it being underpinned by the latest science and technology. This cutting-edge new facility will help put our academic community and industry at the centre of subsea and offshore engineering research. It will drive up skills and develop the innovations needed to fuel growth in the North Sea."
The centre is to be built on the north bank of the river Tyne at Shepherd Offshore's Neptune Energy Park. It is billed by Newcastle University, NE1 7RU, who are providing funds for the scheme, as a centrepiece for economic revival. Lead professor for the project Nick Wright said "The Neptune Centre will create a unique facility that will significantly enhance research capacity, not just at Newcastle University but in the UK as a whole, providing a focus for the development of both new technology and academic-industry relationships that underpin future growth." The project is also supported by Newcastle City Council and includes plans for a hyperbaric chamber which will be capable of testing technology and materials at temperatures and pressures equivalent to those found at the deepest ocean depths.
Newcastle University is to lead a national centre for subsea and offshore engineering as part of a major drive to develop new materials and technologies to explore the world's oceans. The Neptune National Centre for Subsea and Offshore Engineering has been unveiled as a key part of the Government's Oil and Gas Strategy. It will be the first of its kind in the UK, bringing together industry and academia to create a world-class engineering research facility. Developing technologies that can withstand one of the world's harshest environments, the new centre will be at the forefront of our quest to harness the ocean's potential as a source of food, energy and medicine.
Building on the region's maritime heritage and Newcastle University's world-leading expertise in marine engineering, the Neptune Centre will be developed on the north bank of the River Tyne on the Neptune Energy Park, a major redevelopment of the former Neptune shipyard. Neptune Energy Park is part of Shepherd Offshore, Nelson Road, Offshore Technology Park, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE6 3NL. It will be a centrepiece for the revival of this part of Tyneside, bringing with it jobs and investment. The Secretary of State said "The UK's oil and gas sector is crucial to the economy, so we've worked closely with the sector on today's industrial strategy. But its future success relies on it being underpinned by the latest science and technology. This cutting edge new facility will help put our academic community and industry at the centre of subsea and offshore engineering research. It will drive up skills and develop the innovations needed to fuel growth in the North Sea."
The project will be part-funded through the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) from the Catalyst Fund and matched with funding from Newcastle University and the private sector. Supported by Newcastle City Council, plans include the building of a unique hyperbaric chamber and environmental test facilities which will be capable of testing technologies and materials at temperatures and pressures equivalent to those found at the very deepest ocean depths. Project lead Professor Nick Wright who is Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research and Innovation at Newcastle University, said "The Neptune Centre will create a unique facility that will significantly enhance research capacity, not just at Newcastle University but in the UK as a whole – providing a focus for the development of both new technology and academic-industry relationships that underpin future growth. Newcastle University has a long tradition of applied engineering research focused on the marine sector – reflecting the history and tradition of both the University and the North East region. This new national centre will act as a place for industry and academia to interact, providing crucial infrastructure for emerging research opportunities. It will also provide a unique training ground for highly skilled graduates, addressing key skill shortages currently faced by UK industry."
David Sweeney, HEFCE Director, Research, Innovation and Skills, said "HEFCE investment, combined with contributions from the university and the private sector, will enable this important research centre to be created. It will make a significant long-term impact not only on research, but also on skills and the economy." Professor David Delpy, Chief Executive of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) said "Newcastle University has a fine track record of engineering research which EPSRC is proud to have supported. "This pedigree means the work at the new Neptune Centre will build on existing expertise and capability to achieve critical mass in areas that EPSRC has identified as strategically important to the UK, specifically the need for fault tolerant electronics and distributed computing in difficult and extreme environments. We are confident that research at the centre will have impact within academia and industry and that collaborative work with other institutions will bring even wider benefits."
Iain Gray, Chief Executive, Technology Strategy Board said "The Technology Strategy Board is delighted to see that the Neptune Centre is being established in the North East, and are sure that it will make a significant and valuable contribution to the UK's sub-sea engineering know-how and capacity. We look forward to working with the Centre and helping to support the businesses who engage with the innovative programmes it aims to deliver." The Neptune Centre already has the backing of leading UK companies through the Subsea North-East Consortium including Shepherd Offshore, BEL Valves and SMD. Richard Dodd, Director of BEL Valves which is part of the British Engines Group, said the investment would further boost the North East's reputation as a world leader in subsea and offshore engineering. "This partnership between Newcastle University and companies such as BEL Valves is a major opportunity for the region. It will allow us to grow our capabilities and skills base to keep us at the forefront of this highly specialised field of engineering."
Director of Shepherd Offshore, Offshore Technology Park, Rendle Road, Walker, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE6 3NH Charles Shepherd said: "This is a fantastic development for the new energy park. We welcome Newcastle University onto the site and look forward to working with them in this world-leading research and development facility." Andrew Hodgson, Vice Chair of the North East Local Enterprise Partnership and Chair of Subsea NE, said "The subsea sector is a vital part of the economic regeneration within the North East of England. There are a significant number of technology-led world leading enterprises in the region and this centre will provide a significant capability to generate new and exciting collaborative projects. Our vision remains to make the North East the recognised centre for subsea technologies on an international scale."

The 37-year-old Candia man was clearing brush on his property when he slipped into some bushes.
"I didn't see it, but once I fell into it, I knew it was poison ivy. I ran inside and showered, but it was too late. It was all over my face and neck, particularly on my left side," he said.
Beth Almon's doctor told her she has the worst case of poison ivy she's ever seen. After battling the itch for three weeks, Almon is now on her second batch of Prednisone, a drug used to treat severe allergic reactions.
"This year, for some odd reason I can't get rid of it out of my system," said Almon, 32, of Raymond.
The reason for the severe cases may have something to do with changes in the poison ivy plant caused by higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, experts say.
Poison ivy is thriving and becoming much more potent, according to Lewis H. Ziska, a research weed ecologist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Ziska has studied the effects of carbon dioxide on plants and has found that it's changing the chemistry of the urushiol oil in poison ivy, making it more toxic and more likely to cause a skin reaction.
His research looked at how plants react to more sunlight appearing in forests that have become fragmented, especially in urban areas. Ziska found that poison ivy flourishes, spreading faster and becoming more potent.
"Poison ivy tends to do better than most of the plant species we looked at. It's able to take in the additional carbon dioxide and convert it into additional growth," he said.
While she hasn't seen more poison ivy sufferers than usual, Dr. Ellen Bernard of Epping Regional Health Center said there are treatments available to ease the itching and clear things up. Topical steroids can be used, but more severe cases may require an oral steroid.
Susan Chadwick, director of marketing at Derry Medical Center, said she takes steps to avoid poison ivy, but still ended up with a case in July.
"I'm very sensitive to it, so I try like the devil to avoid it," said Chadwick, whose colleague also suffered a severe reaction this summer and ended up on Prednisone.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I apply?
Students submit their entire application online at applynow.usu.edu. Full details about admission deadlines, costs, student types and more can be found on the admissions website.
I have applied, now what?
If you haven't met with an academic advisor yet, now is the time to do so. An advisor makes sure you have a graduation plan and that you are taking the right classes at the right time to stay on track to graduate. Find your advisor and set up an appointment on the USU Advising Website.
How much does USU cost?
Costs at USU vary based on credits taken per semester, which program/course level you are in, where you attend, and other factors. Visit our cost page to estimate your costs. For full information, please contact the registrar's office.
Can I see what kind of scholarships are available to me?
There are a lot of scholarships from various departments on campus as well as outside organizations. Scholarships.usu.edu has many of these outlined, but you may be able to find other opportunities outside of USU as well.
What is a FAFSA and how do I apply?
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), is an application to determine if you qualify for aid, like federal grants and loans. You should fill this out when you apply to Utah State University and every year you attend. Fill out the application at fafsa.ed.gov and make sure you use USU's school code, 003677.
Which type of classes are the best? (online, broadcast, face-to-face)
This is a personal preference, but all classes have the same standards of academic quality, interaction, and teacher participation. Talk to your academic advisor to see which is best for you. Most regional campus students will end up taking at least one of each type during their time with USU.
What transfer credits does USU accept?
the USU Registrar has a few web pages about transferring credits to Utah State University. However, an academic advisor is your best bet when it comes to understanding how your credits will transfer. When you apply to the university, you will submit your past coursework to the Registrar's office who will review them and show you exactly how your past coursework applies to your chosen degree program.
How do I make an appointment with an advisor?
Many advisors at USU allow students to schedule appointments with them online. Visit advising.usu.edu to find an advisor and set up an appointment, or call their listed number.
I am from another college/university, can I take tests at USU?
Yes. Most USU locations will proctor tests for students at other schools. Your best bet is to contact the testing center at your location and ask them. Your test will most likely need to be coordinated beforehand and a fee is often involved.
How do I take the ALEKS Math Placement Test?
Once you are ready to take the test, contact a USU testing center and schedule a time to take your test. You can find more information about the test at https://www.usu.edu/mathprep/aleks-ppl.
How many USU locations are there?
As a land grant institution, USU operates throughout the state of Utah. Below is a list of locations by service region. Not all degrees are available at all locations. Speak to an advisor at any of the locations for more details or contact us.

Day two: How'd you get your hair like that?
It's day two, and my "How'd you get your hair like that?" experiment has begun — and with quite a mustache. And ponytail. A mustache and ponytail so impressive I practically jumped out of a moving 16th Street Free Mall Ride bus to talk to the man behind the hair. Luckily, Ben Eby of Arvada didn't get scared off when I ran up to his skinny build and chiseled jaw, and asked him — well — told him that I absolutely must discuss his hair with him. Ben was at 16th and Arapahoe in downtown Denver one weekday afternoon.
Ben completes the look with a dynamite bow tie and classic frames. The guy's got style. He works it well.
The product he uses on his mustache is called Mr. King's Marvelous Mustache Wax. It looks very slick. It almost makes me want to have a mustache to rub that wax on.
Follow my series here and on Twitter with @notajappycamper and #denverhair.
Stay tuned for day three!
