Khare, M.M. & Owens, L. (2006). Faculty Work Climate Survey, University of Illinois at Chicago.
In 2004, the campus conducted a study of the working environment for tenured and tenure-track faculty in the Colleges of Engineering and Liberal Arts and Sciences. The survey was designed to capture the perceptions of the faculty members regarding their workplace: what they like, what they dislike, what is important in their daily life, and what enhances or impedes productivity. The goal was to inform how to improve job satisfaction and faculty success at UIC. Faculty members in the two colleges responded with a resounding rate of 67%.
The results are presented in a report, available at: http://www.uic.edu/depts/oaa/faculty/climatesurvey.html
Zimmermann, K., Hurtig, J., & Small, E. Tools of the Trade: A CWIT Guide to Participatory Evaluation. Chicago: UIC Center for Research on Women and Gender.
Tools of the Trade: A CWIT Guide to Participatory Evaluation is the product of many years of collaboration between CRWG and Chicago Women in Trades (CWIT). While the examples in the guide focus on situations relating to CWIT programs and initiatives, the content of the guide is general enough to be of use to any program, organization or other group interested in participatory evaluation based in feminist principles. This guide is designed to be both a teaching manual for an organization's first evaluation and a resource to return to for future evaluations. The guide takes the user through each step of the evaluation process. In order to support the capacity of women and gender-centered community groups and organizations to document, analyze, and evaluate their own programs and policies, CWIT and CRWG decided to make the guide available on-line at http://www.uic.edu/depts/crwg/cwitguide.shtml.
Hoersch, M. & Morrissey, C. (2004). Beyond Parity Workbook for Action: Transforming Academic Medicine Through Women's Leadership.Chicago: US Department of Health and Human Services, Office on Women's Health, Region V.
The CoE has continued the efforts started by the conference, "Beyond Parity: Transforming Academic Medicine through Women's Leadership" by producing and disseminating the Beyond Parity Workbook for Action. The workbook was created to help academic medical centers identify barriers to women's advancement and begin the process of equity transformation. Successful efforts to increase the promotion, recruitment, and retention of women academics at medical institutions across the US are highlighted.

Stacy A. Wenzel and Elizabeth Brill, in collaboration with Alice Dan, Cheryl Graves, Cynthia McLachlan, Margaret Strobel, and Luule Vess, have written this use-friendly guide with the goal of helping organizations conduct project evaluations. The result of a collaboration between CRWG and Girl's Best Friend Foundation, this straight forward guide takes the mystery out of research evaluation by remaining sensitive to the complexity of the evaluation process.

No temperature correction is necessary at the sample solution of 41°F (5°C) to 176°F (80°C)
Coexistence of Bromide ion, lodide ion or Cyanide ion respectively with Chloride ion gives higher readings. Sulphide ion produces a brown stain and the coexistence with Chloride ion produces a brown stain in the bottom of the stained layer and gives higher readings. PH value within 3.5 to 11 does not affect the readings. Less than pH 3.5 or more than pH 11 gives higher readings.
Chemical Reaction in the Detector Tube: NaCl + Ag2CrO4 = AgCl
The revolutionary new method for testing salt contamination is the most accurate field test on the market today.
Most specifications do not address sulfates or nitrates because there has never been a sulfate or nitrate field test kit. Now there is a complete test kit available that tests all three salts. CHLOR*TEST "CSN Salts" offers the specifier the availability of trouble-free performance testings, in the field, for chlorides, sulfates, and nitrates with one extraction.
The CHLOR*TEST "CSN Salts" uses a unique patented extract solution, CHLOR*EXTRACT® to retrieve surface salt contamination. This special extract enhances retrieval rates, thereby increasing accuracy. The greater the retrieval rate, the more accurate the test results.
Surface sampling is simplified by use of the patented CHLOR*SLEEVE®. Sampling can be done overhead, vertically, horizontally or any angle with this device.

Young or old, we can all make a difference in another person's life and become an angel on earth.
Roger Mulder was truly an angel on earth. For years he purchased toys and gifts, loaded them into the back of his pickup truck, and delivered the toys to the Angel Tree drop off location at WoodTV 8 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The children that received one of his toys never had the opportunity to meet him. But, I am certain that Mr. Mulder felt the warmth of the smiles and laughter generated by his thoughtful and selfless act of kindness.
An act of kindness is the truest form of a win-win situation—both the giver and the recipient benefit from the generosity.
Sadly, Mr. Mulder passed away in 2009. In an effort to continue his generosity, I am conducting my own Angel Tree donation project with this post that will hopefully reach every corner of the United States.
Today's post marks the beginning of a very special season of giving and showing thanks for those in our lives that have taken us under their wing. Please read the details of this very special giveaway as the guidelines will be strictly followed.
THE DETAILS: The giveaway for the toys and books will work as follows:
A. Parents will submit an entry into the giveaway the by posting a comment on this blog post AND an providing an email contact (emailed privately to the moderator of this blog).*
B. At the conclusion of this giveaway, 5 names will be randomly selected from the entry list. Those 5 entrants will assist their children in choosing an appropriate toy from Amazon that is within the $10-$15 price range.
C. The 5 winners will receive the toy they have selected, as a gift from the blog moderator. In addition to their toy, a duplicate toy will be sent to the Angel Tree collection site in Grand Rapds, Michigan in memory of Roger Mulder AND a duplicate toy will be delivered to the Angel Tree collection site in Richmond, Virginia. They will also receive a copy of Welcome Comfort by Patricia Polacco. Quinton Hamp, a main character in the story, was based on an employee of the Union City, Michigan school system—a real angel on earth who was ONE that made a difference.D. The winners of the giveaway must create a handprint Angel as shown below. A photocopy or scan of the Angel with the child's first initial of their first name and the state they live in must be added to the line at the bottom of the angel's robe. These scans or photocopies will also be given to the Angel Tree coordinator in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in memory of Roger Mulder.
A pdf of the activity components will be furnished to the winners via email.E. A collage of the handprint angels will also be posted onto this blog, as a virtual tribute to Mr. Mulder's generosity.
*Due to the time sensitivity of this giveaway, the winners of the toy and book giveaway must contact the blog moderator within 3 days of the giveaway's end. If a response is not received within three days (72 hours) of the givaway's end, an alternate winner will be selected.
**This post will be reposted two more times in November.
ACTIVITY: TAKE SOMEONE UNDER YOUR WING & BECOME ONE THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCEThis activity is a great way to highlight the ways your children help others out. As they create the handprint angel, discuss the ways they have helped out in your home, your neighborhood, and your community. By the time your little ones complete their handprint angel, don't be surprised if they continue to spread their angel wings by helping out others in new and different ways.
Blue construction paper
White paint
Pipe Cleaners
Glue and tape
Printouts of angel parts
Crayons or markers
1. Prior to creating the handprint angel, discuss how your child helps out others. For example: A big sister may help a younger sibling carry a toy that is a bit too heavy for him or her. A little one may help Mom pick up things that have rolled under a table. A classmate may invite the new child in the class to join them at the lunch table. This discussion will definitely carry over into the creating portion of the activity.
2. Print out choice of angel sheet—with either a pink or green body.
4. Cut out the angel body, head, and star. Write your name (first initial and state you live in if you are completing this for the Angel Tree ONE project) on the line at the bottom of the angel body.
6. With tape or glue, attach the ends of the pipe cleaner to the back of the angel body, shaping to form arms.
7. Attach the body and head to the dried handprints.
8. Add eyes, a nose, and a mouth.
BOOK REVIEW: WELCOME COMFORT by Patricia Polacco
The image is timeless. In fact, at some point in our lives, we have all been a character in this portrait of recess time at school.
Imagine a group of smiling children gathered in the schoolyard with the sound of laughter filling the air. Initially, the sight of such a happy scene brings fond memories of games of hopscotch, basketball, and high water-low water.
However, upon a closer look, the source of the laughter becomes more evident. The warm fuzzies created by the sight of the beaming faces are washed away. They are replaced by a sadness brought on by the tears streaming down the face of the forlorn child trapped in the center of the cluster of children. That child is the victim of bullying.
In Welcome Comfort by Patricia Polacco, this heartbreaking scene is played out in a school in Union City, Michigan. However, the setting could by any where or any time.Welcome Comfort (yes, his name really is Welcome Comfort) is the new kid in school. And, as often happens in situations like this, little time passes before Welcome is teased about his name, teased about his weight, and teased about his family.
This story could have easily taken any turn by the end of the book. Welcome could have turned bitter at being teased. He could have lashed out at others, turning from the bullied to the bullier. He could have withdrawn from society and never allowed his own light to shine. However, Polacco chose a brighter path for Welcome.When Mr. Hamp, the humble school custodian, witnesses the bullying, he takes Welcome under his wing. Together with his librarian wife, Mr. Hamp shows Welcome that there are caring people in this world. Mr. Hamp becomes a mentor and a friend, forming a lifelong bond.
He takes him fishing.
He teaches him how to whittle.
He invites Welcome into his heart and into his home.
With Mr. Hamp's help, Welcome finds happiness and success. He pays this act forward by the story's end, allowing his own bright light to shine upon others.Through heartwarming illustrations and lyrical prose, Polacco succeeds in teaching an important lesson to both children and adults—it only takes one person to make a difference.
Intended as a read-aloud, this story of love and hope is perfect to experience while snuggling under a fluffy blanket and sipping a cup of hot cocoa. By the story's end, everyone that reads Welcome Comfort will most assuredly be inspired to become a ONE.
*This giveaway will include a toy selected from Amazon with a total value not to exceed $15 and a copy of Welcome Comfort by Patricia Polacco. The registration will last from the posting of this blog post until midnight, November 18, 2013. EST. Five winners will be randomly selected from the entries.The books and toy will be shipped from Amazon within approximately 2 weeks following the close of the giveaway. Of the 5 selected winners, 1 will receive, in addition to the toy and book, a $10 Amazon gift card. The winners MUST contact the blog moderator to confirm receipt of their notice of winning within 3 days of the end of the giveaway. Alternate winners will be selected in the event of no confirmation contact within that three day guideline. By accepting a winning entry, the winner agrees to create a handprint angel and send a scan or photocopy of that angel to the blog administrator to be given to the Angel Tree donation site in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
The giveaway is open to residents of the United States with a United State's mailing address.
To be considered for entry into this giveaway, the entrant's email address must be submitted to the blog administrator.
THANK YOU FOR READING THIS POST. And, THANK YOU, MR. MULDER, for showing us ALL how to become a ONE.
I hope you join me and help make another child's light shine brighter by becoming a ONE!

A 53-year-old woman was admitted for unstable angina pectoris. Coronary angiography revealed a stenosis in the right coronary artery (Fig. 1A). A 2.75- × 18-mm zotarolimus-eluting stent was implanted at 16 atm. Intravascular ultrasound showed a distal edge dissection (Fig. 1C), which appeared to extend beyond the media with a lumen of 5.8 mm2 and TIMI (Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction) flow grade 3 (Fig. 1B).
Sustained chest pain occurred 3 h after the procedure. Emergent angiography revealed flow-limiting obstruction at the distal stent edge (Fig. 2). Optical coherence tomography showed a hematoma (hypo-backscattering with attenuation) that was clearly located outside of the media, but inside of the adventitia (Fig. 3). Intravascular ultrasound also demonstrated the development of an extramedial hematoma. The mechanism is shown in Figure 4.
We report a progression from dissection to extramedial hematoma. Optical coherence tomography can localize a post-stent hematoma as intramedial or extramedial.

Happy Release Day, Nicole Austin!
A standalone title in the Cougar Challenge series.
With the big four-oh looming, Larissa Cross is more than ready to shed the roles that have defined her and make drastic changes. Gone are the widowed Army wife, soccer mom and empty nester. She's even setting aside the schoolteacher until fall.
A naughty challenge issued by fellow erotic romance booklovers on their blog, Tempt the Cougar, has come at the perfect time and ignited Rissa's competitive drive. It's going to be a glorious summer full of hot younger man lovin' for a new cougar on the prowl. Rawr!
Tattooed and pierced fireman JD Harmon is tempting prey but there's much more to the hunk than his bad boy good looks. A one-night stand isn't in his plans, and sex—no matter how mind-blowing—won't distract him from his goals. JD intends to tame the wicked cougar and stake a claim on her heart.
New Cave Release – Nicole Austin
Once a woman's deepest, darkest desires have been exposed—whetting her appetite for taboo pleasures of the flesh—her unquenchable hungers will not be denied.
Floggers and whips.
Chains and leather restraints.
Erotic rewards and punishments…oh my!
Seduced by erotic stories and the forbidden lure of Dominance and submission, Evie Sloan longs to explore the scintillating delights firsthand. While some fantasies are better left to the imagination, for the chance to visit a real BDSM club, she's willing to take a risk.
Been there, done that, seen it all—or so jaded Dominant Niko Kovalenko thought. Evie's arrival on the scene reawakens long-dormant passions and ramps them up to a whole new level. She's an exciting challenge, a dangerous temptation, igniting the compulsion to posses. To collar.
Evie is no man's submissive pet. Niko strips her bare, sheds light on all her secret desires and weaknesses, but it's still not enough for him. To win her man, she'll have to confront her fears and find a way to bridge the distance between them.
Two New Releases from the Cave
Cursed with unusual abilities, orphan McKenna Fulton has always been different, an outcast. But she's been Chosen. More accurately, she is one of the Chosen. Eight individuals—four women and four men—selected at birth to guard slices of crystal. The Heart of Fire.
The whole thing is more than a little farfetched. Kenna can handle the part of getting down and dirty with the bad dude. She's even okay with guarding a crystal. But losing her free will and being stuck with some guy, her destined mate, uh-uh. Not happening.
Local mechanic Ryker Thomas is more than he appears and has his own set of abilities. Kenna wants nothing to do with the Southern charmer. So what if he has a matching crystal and the damn thing hums and vibrates whenever they're close together. That doesn't mean she'll toe the line.
He can't be the one she's supposed to be with. Fate wouldn't be so cruel as to send her a cowboy when what she wants is a bad boy.
Book 4 in the Ecstasy in Red series.
One kiss was all he wanted. And one kiss was the only thing she denied him.
Dragon shape-shifter Ricardo wakes in a sweat, knowing he has telepathically contacted a woman in trouble. The same trouble he got into a year ago. With the help of STORM, he tracks her, the latest victim of the evil Dr. Bennett.
But Kristen is no pushover. A bodyguard for the first openly Talented senator, Ricardo's brother Sandro, she's used to looking after herself and doesn't wait for someone else to rescue her. She escapes, and Ricardo finds her naked and shivering on a crowded New York street.
Need sparks between them; they can't resist each other. They set the night on fire and Kristen loves Ricardo's sizzling passion, even as she resists loving him. But Bennett wants her back…which means the lovers could lose everything.

(Details on the second suit at the end of this post) For decades, those with an artistic bent have viewed quirky provocateur Stanley Marsh 3 and his Cadillac Ranch on the outskirts of Amarillo as one of the Panhandle's sole redeeming qualities, beacons of culture and mischief in a region barren of joy and fun. The ten vintage Cadillacs buried in the dust have served as the backdrop for dozens of music videos, and the sight of them cajoled a song ("Cadillac Ranch") out of no less an icon than Bruce Springsteen himself.
However, if the allegations put forth by Houston attorney Anthony Buzbee are true, the Cadillac Ranch's patron -- the 74-year-old Marsh 3 -- is little better than a more cultured, High Plains version of Jerry Sandusky, albeit one with much, much more money, thanks to the oil and gas fortune he inherited.
Or as the suit bluntly puts it, "Stanley Marsh 3 is a serial abuser of boys and young men."
Marsh 3's attorney Kelly Utsinger has denied the allegations. "It's not my usual practice to say much about pending litigation to the media, but I will tell you we will be filing responsive pleadings to deny these allegations," Utsinger told Amarillo.com.
The suit was filed by an Amarillo mother on behalf of her anonymous son on October 12 and just came to light in Amarillo media late last week. According to the suit, the John Doe in this suit was 15 when he was introduced to Marsh 3 in 2010 by a mutual friend. (Marsh 3 has long eschewed using Roman numerals after his last name, claiming they are pretentious.) According to the suit, Marsh 3 has for many years been in the habit of taking in "troubled young men, particularly those with artistic talents, under a so-called 'mentorship program.'"
The suit claims that Marsh wasted little time in commencing his abuse of Doe.
It is alleged that at one of their initial meetings in Marsh 3's downtown office suite, the elder man paid Doe an undisclosed sum of money to masturbate in front of him.
"With time," the suit continues, "there [were] more and more meetings with Marsh 3, at his office, which involved fellatio, masturbation, watching pornographic movies, and other sex acts. Marsh 3 routinely paid Doe in cash and checks, and provided Doe with alcohol and a litany of drugs. Marsh 3 bought two vehicles for Doe as well. Over the year, Marsh 3 would give Doe sums of money that at times would be as much as $10,000."
The boy reportedly became addicted to drugs, allegedly thanks to Marsh 3's providing them for him. Marsh 3 is also alleged to have forced the boy to take Viagra to stimulate his ability to perform sexually. Doe was allegedly paid for each climax he could attain.
Doe's mother said in the suit that while she found it odd that Marsh 3 would take such a keen interest in her son, she allowed him to continue his "mentorship" because Marsh 3's directorship of such "programs" was so public and widely known. Marsh 3 "had even talked with the press about it," the suit notes. "Doe's mother surmised that if these mentoring activities by Marsh 3, a prominent person in Amarillo, were at all improper then certainly Marsh 3 would have been prosecuted for any illegal acts." Immediately upon learning the true nature of Marsh 3's meetings with her son, Doe's mother reported them straight to the Amarillo police and the Potter County District Attorney's office. To date, the suit notes, neither of those offices has filed any formal charges against Marsh 3. A spokesman for the Potter County DA's office has said that they will neither confirm nor deny the existence of an ongoing criminal investigation of Marsh 3.
This is not Marsh 3's first brush with the law, nor even his first of this nature.
In 1996 he was indicted on three counts of indecency with a child. Those complaints were all dismissed.
That same year, Marsh 3 settled a civil suit filed by a young man who alleged sexual abuse. Dick DeGuerin, Marsh 3's attorney in that case, told the media at the time that settling would be cheaper than the legal fees his client would accrue defending himself. There was no admission of wrongdoing in the settlement papers.
Two years later, Marsh 3 was convicted of unlawful restraint and criminal trespass after he locked Ben Whittenburg, a teenage scion of a prominent Amarillo family with whom the Marsh family had been feuding, in a chicken coop. Whittenburg had reportedly stolen one of the droll fake street signs Marsh 3 had erected in Amarillo as part of his open-air "Dynamite Museum" art project.
In 2001, Marsh 3 settled another four suits, including one filed by the Whittenburgs over the chicken coop incident. All that is known of the other three is that they included, according to Amarillo.com, allegations of "imprisonment, sexual misconduct, and harassment of teens." Marsh 3 reportedly apologized; all other details have remained secret.
Marsh 3 reportedly suffered a series of strokes beginning in November of last year and is currently under the guardianship of his wife, Gwendolyn "Wendy" O'Brien Marsh, who is also a party to this new lawsuit. Her guardianship is the sole reason she is named in the suit, according to Buzbee.
Marsh 3's adopted son Stanley Marsh IV is also named. The suit claims that Marsh IV should have known the nature of his father's activities with Doe, "that he knew that Marsh 3 was giving Doe large sums of money for no reason." (Full disclosure: Marsh IV was briefly this writer's friend and fraternity brother at the University of Texas in 1988 and 1989. I've not seen him in about 23 years.)
Doe's attorney Buzbee is also suing David L. Weir, Marsh 3's longtime friend and business associate. The suit portrays Weir as Marsh 3's "gatekeeper," and claims that Weir knew Doe's age and the nature of Marsh 3's activities with him and did nothing to stop them. The suit also claims that Weir facilitated Marsh 3's practices by "requiring many of the [boys and young men] to sign confidentiality agreements before beginning the sexual activities."
"Doe is just one of the many victims of Stanley Marsh 3," the suit continues. Buzbee underlined that sentence himself.
Buzbee is also suing SM3, Marsh 3's limited liability corporation, and McCartt and Associates, managers of Amarillo's Chase Tower, which houses Marsh 3's office. "McCartt, as building manager responsible for security, was well aware of Doe's frequent visits to Marsh 3's office," the suit contends. "McCartt knew or should have known of the abuse considering the number of young boys who would frequently enter Marsh 3's office, with doors locked behind them."
Late last week, Buzbee told Houston's News 92.1 FM that he hopes that Marsh 3 will be prosecuted in criminal court, and added that he hopes that more victims will come forward.
UPDATE, 2:05 P.M. Tuesday, October 30
Even as we were writing yesterday's shocking story about Stanley Marsh 3's allegedly predatory ways, minions of Houston attorney Anthony Buzbee were at the Potter County Courthouse, filing a second lawsuit on behalf of another victim.
According to the suit, "John Doe #2" was 16 when he met Marsh 3, and Marsh 3 is alleged to have paid him to watch pornographic movies with him at their very first meeting. The suit claims that Marsh was infatuated with Doe because he is African-American and Marsh had "never been with one before."
The suit claims that Marsh 3 progressed from watching porn to paying the boy to expose himself, masturbate, and then to be masturbated and receive fellatio from Marsh 3. The suit claims that on some occasions, another underaged boy was involved, and as with the first suit, it is alleged that Marsh 3 plied Doe #2 with Viagra so he could perform at Marsh 3's whim.
Twenty of these encounters are alleged to have occurred over the course of 12 months (2010 and 2011), all but one in Marsh 3's downtown Amarillo office. One isolated case is alleged to have occurred at Toad Hall, Marsh 3's estate outside of town. According to the suit, Wendy O'Brien Marsh, Stanley Marsh's wife, allegedly led Doe #2 to a bedroom where Marsh 3 awaited. (Wendy Marsh is being sued both individually and as Marsh 3's guardian in this suit.)

The suit claims that prior to his strokes last November, Marsh 3 "was always in the company of young men." It portrays his office as "a haven for young, artistic, troubled young men," many of whom had troubles with the law and/or alcohol or drug problems.
"Marsh 3's group of young men would do nothing all day, other than hang around Marsh 3's office, awaiting his instructions," the suit claims. "And, Marsh 3 would routinely pay his troupe of young men; most performed various sexual favors for Marsh 3 in exchange for this compensation."
The suit also breaks the following news: In addition to all of Marsh 3's other scrapes with the law and courts, it claims that in 2004, Marsh was sued in Potter County by an 18-year-old man for sexual assault and battery. That man claimed to have been assaulted in Marsh 3's office.
Marsh 3 reportedly settled that suit as soon as it was filed.

It could also be Peppermint, Pineapple, Peanut Butter, Pancake, Popsicle, or Pecan Pie. The list can go on and on so we'll stop now. Let's call it simply as Android P and start to discuss the features. We know Android P will be ready for Nokia smartphones and that it will allow networks to control LTE signal bars. Details are scarce but we believe more rumors and speculations will be published a few weeks before the Google I/O 2018 event where the tech giant will reveal the new dessert.
People are saying Google will introduce a new feature or technology that may look like an overhaul of the past designs. Interestingly, it may be similar to what Apple has launched recently–the notch we see on the iPhone X. We're not going to make any conclusions about this move yet because the truth is, nothing is final yet. Most OEMs haven't really rolled out the Oreo update so before we stress over Android P, there's still the cookie update to wait for.
So far, we know Android P will further lengthen battery life (as usual), support new screen sizes and designs, and offer better integration of the Google Assistant. The notch may not be available on most phones yet but rumor has it Huawei is implementing such design on the next-gen P20 phones. The Essential Phone has such tiny cutout so the idea is likely to become a reality.
Having the notch or cutouts at the top of the screen may fit more sensors and cameras that can make the device more powerful and feature-rich than ever. We know dual front-facing cameras are slowly becoming a thing as iris and facial recognition technology are set to advance. This notch design may only be found on premium flagship phones so we're not expecting devices to have it this year. And if Google decides to follow Apple in this direction, then we'll closely watch the mobile industry and see how the market responds.

Please explain the intelligence behind that. How does this intervention work? Are you saying that every time any creature is born a magical force goes into their genetics and alters exact DNA sequences for an exact purpose?
Sorry, but intelligence behind evolution is a pure guess and bears no relevance to reality.
The fact that so many creatures have gone extinct, shows there is likely no intelligent at all behind it. The fact that our higher intelligence could evolve within a short period (7 million years), shows that if there is any intelligence behind evolution they have the intellect of a 5 year old.

Cars have absolutely nothing to do with species going extinct. It's a complete non sequitar to my argument. Cars took 3 billion years to emerge because HUMANS took 3 billion years to emerge and humans created them. If you consider them all part of the same process, then what exactly are you arguing with me about? Why did you bring up the car? We're talking about intelligent guidance of evolution are we not?
Cars have not been around long enough to see a major environmental catastrophe that would alter their rate and quality of production. Also there are many varieties of cars, some better quality then others, why arent all the cars of the same best quality, why did other species of cars suddenly stop improving? Evolution itself is the planning ahead, the fact the the universe is established as it is, and there is lots of energy and biology, and time must go forth, is insurance that interesting things will happen. Maybe its an experiment, maybe a universe of this kind, and biology of this kind has never existed before and so in this universe all the probabilities are tested, and on earth alone, we see many of the potential arrangements of atoms over time. Alter the necessary DNA, thats what evolution is doing, right now every specie that exists can actually live and survive over time because of the alterations of its ancestral alterations of dna.
Furthermore the car is almost the complete opposite of evolution. It was designed by humans for specific purposes and has improved from model to model, INTENTIONALLY. There are no ups and downs. Only ups. There was no time during the hundred years we've had automobiles, that they suddenly stopped improving or regressed back to the previous decade's technology. This happens all the time with evolution, with big environmental changes. If an intelligent force was guiding evolution why wouldn't they plan ahead for such events, instead of just letting thousands of species go extinct. Why guide genetic mutations to make millions of different species if the goal is to create intelligent life? Why not alter the necessary DNA to speed up the process.
On a related note, my neighbor's dog is getting old and starting to walk with a limp.
No. They are products of human intelligence. You are equivocating intelligence and consciousness, 2 very different things. That seems to be your primary method of debating. You compare things that aren't related and use vague terminology to insinuate that they are the same. You've done it with biological evolution and layman's evolution. You've done it with biological life and human technology. And now you've done it with consciousness and intelligence. I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but I have to call you out when I see such a poor regard for logical arguments.

Hi Barcs,
Would you mind clarifying your stance on intelligence? I ask because on at least a few occasions in your arguments you have proclaimed, to the point of demanding, that intelligence requires a brain, but then you seemingly waffled with your response to ImaFungi:
"Maybe not. There could be other ways to manifest the same type of neural network as the brain, without a biological brain."
So I'm curious - Does it or doesn't it require a brain in your view?
I also have to bring up the case for plant intelligence. By the very meaning and definition of intelligence, plants meet the criteria and then some. Yet they have no brain or neural networks to speak of.
Here are some interesting things plants do and you can tell me if any of these don't meet the requirement for intelligence in your view:
*Ability to communicate (with other plants and animals)
*Ability to protect against predators and warn other plants. Can summon other animals to ward off pests.
*Ability to recognize next of kin or stranger, and react accordingly, typically favoring kin
*As it relates to above point- capable of refined recognition of self and non-self, and are territorial in behavior.
*Ability to determine precisely how much food reserves will be needed to get through the night- which some scientists have likened to performing of math to do so
*Ability to store "memories" and "learn" from positive or negative experiences to adjust for future behavior
*Ability to sense magnetic fields, gravity and sunlight et al and being able to react accordingly
*They sleep
*As young budding flowers they've even been observed to "play" in a sense (scientists have no other way to describe it)
If you are claiming that evolution is intelligent then it should learn and apply skills. If this is the case it will learn from past designs and should primarily use all the beneficial traits in the majority of modern species. This is not the case, however. It's mixed and matched. Many species do go extinct because of bad mutations. It's not always about mass extinctions.
Are you suggesting that evolution is the cause for extinctions? Most mass extinction level events are external to evolution so I'm not sure what you mean when you say this. Do you mean that because evolution doesn't act quick enough to adapt species to sudden changes in environments this should be indicative for lack of intelligence some how?
I find it ironic that you've been arguing against being able to prove consciousness on a broader scale yet on numerous occasions you've attempted to drill your points home using the above bolded phrase. What reality are you referring to?
Again, I don't understand the relevance of what you're asserting when you use time values or extinction as a way to disprove intelligence. Would you mind clarifying?

I would say yes. It does require a brain or similar system capable of thinking and processing information. But yes, something has to be there to think. Intelligence can't just exist by itself.
Plants do not think. They do not experience pain, emotions, or any of the 5 senses.
The big thing that defines intelligence is the ability to think, and plants do not have this. Adapting to and recognizing their environment is not the same as making decisions and learning from them as life goes on, They do not technically learn and apply skills.
Saying they are as sophisticated as animals is an exaggeration.

Evolution has never headed in a clear direction of improvement as would seem to be required of any "intelligence". THIS is what you see in a product of intelligence
It's funny that Fungi mentioned cars because it's about to prove my point. When you study the development of cars, you see a very consistent improvement over time.You don't have things randomly changing from generation to generation. You don't have them getting better, then worse, then better, then worse, then better. In fact, intelligent creation is pretty much the exact opposite of how evolution works.

Plants can see, smell, feel, and remember.
3. You say that plants have a sense of smell?
Sure. But to answer this we have to define for ourselves what "smell" is. When we smell something, we sense a volatile chemical that's dissolved in the air, and then react in someway to this smell. The clearest example in plants is what happens during fruit ripening. You may have heard that if you put a ripe and an unripe fruit together in the same bag, the unripe one will ripen faster. This happens because the ripe one releases a ripening pheromone into the air, and the green fruit smells it and then starts ripening itself.
Being able to think is not the only thing that defines intelligence though. Problem solving can be considered to be done by thinking yet this is exactly what plants do, constantly. And yes, they do learn from previous positive or negative experiences which are stored as memories to direct future behaviors.
I guess you'll just have to take it up with Darwin then.
Evolution is the transformation of species into more capable forms of itself or into a new species all together.
Why should improvement necessarily be a requirement for intelligence?
Or that a brand new "random" model didn't ever just appear on the scene only to go away again (Neon)? The VW Beetle flourished, then went extinct, only to be reborn with an updated design that resembles the form of the original.

Equivocation, equivocation and more equivocation. I'm sorry but comparing root structures in plants to neural networks in brains is grasping for straws big time. It's not even remotely similar.
By performing complex supercomputer simulations of the universe and using a variety of other calculations, researchers have now proven that the causal network representing the large-scale structure of space and time in our accelerating universe is a graph that shows remarkable similarity to many complex networks such as the Internet, social, or even biological networks.
"The most frequent question that people may ask is whether the discovered asymptotic equivalence between complex networks and the universe could be a coincidence," said Krioukov. "Of course it could be, but the probability of such a coincidence is extremely low. Coincidences in physics are extremely rare, and almost never happen. There is always an explanation, which may be not immediately obvious."
Dr. Panagariya says that the morphological similarities of a walnut with brain, beans with kidney and banana and apple with other organs of the human body could not be mere coincidence, because "coincidences in physics are extremely rare and there is always an explanation which may not be instantly obvious".
You are doing EXACTLY what I was talking about previously. You are judging something based on subjective appearance and equivocating them because they appear similar to you.
Similarities in pictures of things CAN INDEED be dismissed as coincidence. It's not even close to objective, and the deeper you analyze those systems, the more differences you find.
BTW most plants have ZERO neurons. I say most because obviously there are plant-like animals and animal-like plants out there so there are exceptions to almost every rule.
Oh man, look at those! There's no way you can simply dismiss that as coincidence! The moon MUST be made of cheese!
Sorry but that is not the same as smelling something. I'm honestly getting tired of people using metaphors for things and taking it literally. That is not a description of smelling something.
You can't problem solve without thinking! There's a difference between aiming at the sun when it gives you energy or using a defense mechanism that ensures survival, and having to solve a puzzle or figuring out how to solve an issue with your car.
Show me the scientific studies behind plants learning and memory storage. This is the 2nd time I'm asking.
Please direct me to Darwin's work where he claims that plants are just as sophisticated as animals. That's laughable. I shouldn't even need to break down the differences, they are obvious. How about raising and teaching offspring?
Today, plant biologists are proud to point out that Charles Darwin actively studied plant movements and that he contributed to the discovery of the plant hormone auxin, but his comparison of plant and animal behavior is often overlooked, viewed as a distraction, and has even been used to imply that Darwin discovered or endorsed a modern "neurobiological" metaphorical or a rationalist approach to plants biology. Darwin, however, was not a rationalist. He was an empiricist, and his books on plant physiology exemplify this tendency as well as, if not better than, any of his other biological works.
They often receive traits that are worse. I keep saying this but it keeps being ignored. Improvement is not required for evolution.

I bet it would be nice, though, there.
My uncle has been living in Japan for 30 years... teaching dance, marriage celebrant, retired now in Kanazawa... him and my dad have bad blood, haven't spoken in yonks (even I don't know why)...
My dad reluctantly gave me his contact dets.. sent him a quick message, not thinking he would reply...
He replied that same night, very warmly indeed, saying he is so glad to have family in Japan (we are moving there soon)... he said he would come to visit us and would help setting up our business in any way he could.
Funny how dad painted a dark picture of the man, totally different than initial impression.
I want to go to Okinawa beach - very stunning beach.. great place, great country.
Thanks to whoever the mod was that moves this to the correct place in the forum.

November 2014
Oman plans to build its first major wind farm at a cost of $200 million to generate electricity in its southern governorate of Dhofar, as part of efforts to limit the use of oil and gas in power generation.
The wind farm at Harweel will have a capacity of 50 MW, enough to meet about 50 per cent of demand in the governorate during the winter, and is expected to begin operating early in 2017, state-owned Rural Areas Electricity Company (RAEC) said. The project will be co-ordinated by Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company (Masdar) and financed by a grant from Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi.
The turbines will be made in a Western nation while local contractors will be given a large share of the construction work, said RAEC, which is planning to launch seven more renewable energy projects next year: five solar energy projects and two wind power plants.

Charles River Analytics conducts cutting-edge AI, robotics, and human-machine interface R&D to create custom solutions for your organization. Our customer-centric focus directs us towards problems that matter, and our passion for science and engineering drives us to create actionable, impactful solutions.
We became an employee-owned company in 2012, setting the stage for the next generation of innovation, service, and growth. Our employees make a difference for a "who's who" in government and industry by delivering results on government programs and working with commercial partners.
We come to work every day because we want to advance technology to solve today's hardest problems.
At Charles River Analytics, we turn research into results.
AI software for underwater platforms must perform as expected, even when it must support new sensor types and models or changing mission environments and goals. With AutoTRap implemented onboard your unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), operators can search and automatically detect targets of interest in real-time.
Your platform can use AutoTRap's target library to support real-time awareness for autonomous behavior, in‑mission operations, or command and control.
Onboard ATR capabilities on UUVs offer significant advantages in underwater operations: Reduced launch and recovery times result from target detections sent to command and control stations in real-time while the UUV is submerged. Costs are reduced and operation times are optimized, enabling coverage of a wider search area. More accurate target classification can also occur when operators re-direct UUVs to further examine targets based on real-time detections.
Based on over five years of work for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Office of Naval Research (ONR), and Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), our Maritime Smart Camera enhances data quality with embedded intelligence.
We apply state-of-the-art sensor processing and deep learning to onboard autonomy that enables unmanned systems to see, understand, and respond to their operating environment. Our Maritime Smart Camera gives operators affordable situational awareness for small unmanned surface vessels (USVs) without active sensors, such as radar.
The Maritime Smart Camera's ship detection works in different operating conditions and on different target sizes, including small and distant targets. It mitigates watchstander burden on manned ships by automating some lookout functions. It also uses powerful classification models to confirm detection accuracy and determine target types to support COLREGS compliance.

5 Popular Types Of Shoe Supplies
Branding is vital for any company, as it is the face of your organization. It can be stated that Annie Hall was the film that helped popularize the androgynous look. Emulate actress Diane Keaton's look in this movie by investing in a great Patagonia Sale pair of Oxfords. This can be a nice masculinizing merchandise, especially if you happen to plan on carrying girly or frilly frocks.
All of us like to try new clothes. Most of us even fancy wearing new clothes on daily basis. We see numerous changes occurring within the trend industry on daily basis. Together with that, there are numerous companies which can be arising with new New Balance Australia Sale and new materials virtually every hour. It turns into troublesome for us to choose the correct brand of clothing or the fabric to put on to office or to some other occasion. More often than not, we end up shopping for the product which either doesn't go well with our pores and skin or does not match our personality. We frequently find yourself confused as to which model to go for.
2. Are you simply suffering from model boredom? One motive plenty of business house owners rebrand is because they are bored with their model. That's natural. As a business proprietor, you are looking at your personal brand each single day - all day lengthy. Even when it is an superior model, you're going to get tired of it. That is pure. But boredom is not an excellent motive to rebrand your company. You must keep in mind that your clients could solely come into contact together with your brand as soon as every three months, perhaps longer. Consistency is crucial! They should see the same mark, shade scheme and fonts to build brand affinity. They cannot do that if the model is continually shifting.
Like any business, they are professionals and cons and I hope that this info will give you an idea of what you are stepping into when you decided to open your individual white label company. Simply do not forget Moncler Outlet Store that any business requires a variety of effort and time in order to be succesful it doesn't matter what sort of shortcut you could take.
First impressions set the standard for every future interplay. Start with authority and clarity and comply with by with duty and excellent customer service. How effectively you communicate about your product can have more impact in your Patagonia Sale success than the product itself. Even when a buyer has a detrimental experience, with open and honest communication you may have the opportunity to turn that individual right into a model evangelist.

Job lost his means of income and still didn't turn from God. We might curse someone out (occasionally using God's name to do it) if we're just having a bad day at work. Jo lost all of his children, and he grieved, but did not speak ill of God. When we lose a loved one, or a loved one is sick, some of us will stop going to church or stop praying because we feel that God has let us down. Job got boils all over his body, and still trusted God. Some of us stub our toe and let it ruin our day. Or, if we get a bad diagnosis, we think God has abandoned us instead of asking Him how we can use our situation to bless Him and to bless others.
So, could God brag on you? Could he take His hands off? Could you pass the tests of adversity and still praise God? Or, would Satan not even bother to mess with you because you're already his? Ms. EV

Rachael Holmes: That was amazing. So yes, it was Ruined at Arena Stage, directed by Charles Randolph-Wright, one of my dear friends who's about to open Motown on Broadway, and I played the lead character of Sophie, an 18-year-old girl who had been gang-raped in the Congo where a civil war is going on. That's one of the most challenging roles I've ever played and I guess as a result, one of the most rewarding. The first thing I actually had to work on with Sophie was her walk, because she has a fistula from being assaulted so deeply and she can't walk correctly anymore. And once I got that into my body -- that was actually the hardest part. It was very real, and there was a moment when I was practicing my walk -- we'd have rehearsal at ten in the morning or something and I get there early. And I'm just walking around in this walk, and it dawned on me for the first time ever that almost a good ten years before when I was studying in Paris, doing an internship in the 18th arrondissement, in the 18th quarter, that there are women who I used to see walking that way. And being a young, kind of naïve person I had no idea. I thought oh, maybe they hurt their legs or they had sprained ankles. And I now realize that these are women who have been raped and this is how they're surviving. So something as tiny as trying to find the first physicality of a character was a real tipping point for me. It was a perfect world of merging the political with the arts, and I do consider myself a citizen artist. I wrote a letter to the Rwandan and the Congolese ambassadors in DC to come and see the show and it was pretty special to be able to write to them, and I actually wrote the letter in French. I speak fluent French after studying in France for a while. And these amazing people whose job it is to try to bring their issues to the forefront of the world came to see this play. And they're not used to going out to see shows like that, and they had no idea that you could go and see a piece of theater and walk away with as much information as maybe a press conference or some kind of political meeting on the Hill. So it kind of opened their eyes in a way of what is possible through the arts. And of course a lot of homework had to be done with what the situation is in the Congo, and how lucky I am to be able to have the luxury to be bringing this story to people through a play and then being able to go safely home myself as a young woman, and not have to be living those nightmares that many, many women are experiencing as we have this interview right now.
A great example of a role that lives at the intersection of gripping theater and political awareness was Holmes' much-praised portrayal of Sophie in Arena Stage's recent production of Lynn Nottage's Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Ruined. Ruined is a searing play about the aftermath women face after having been systematically raped in the war-torn Democratic Republic of Congo. [2:35]

Tenuate Dosage
The recommended Tenuate dosage for the short-acting tablets is 25 mg three times a day, taken one hour before meals. For long-acting tablets, the recommended dose is 75 mg once daily, taken in the mid-morning. Do not take a higher Tenuate dose than your healthcare provider prescribes or for longer than a few weeks, as this could lead to addiction or dependence.
The dose of Tenuate® (diethylpropion hydrochloride) that your healthcare provider prescribes will vary, depending on a number of factors, including:
- Whether you are taking short-acting or long-acting Tenuate tablets
- Other medical conditions you may have
- Other medications you may be currently taking.
As is always the case, do not adjust your dose unless your healthcare provider specifically instructs you to do so.
Tenuate Dosage for Weight LossFor short-acting tablets, the recommended dose of Tenuate for weight loss is 25 mg three times daily, taken one hour before meals. If necessary, your healthcare provider may recommend taking an additional evening dose to help control nighttime hunger. For long-acting tablets, the recommended dose is 75 mg (one extended-release tablet), taken once a day in mid-morning.
Tenuate is intended for short-term use only (just a few weeks). Longer use is unlikely to be effective, since the body adjusts to the appetite-suppressing properties of the drug. Also, the medication has the potential to be abused (which is another reason why Tenuate use should be limited to just a few weeks).
Considerations for people taking Tenuate include the following:
- The medication comes in short-acting and long-acting tablet forms. The short-acting tablets are taken three times a day, one hour before meals, while the long-acting tablets are taken just once a day in the mid-morning.
- The long-acting tablets must be swallowed whole; do not break, chew, or crush them.
- Tenuate should be combined with an appropriate diet. It is not meant to be used without dieting.
- Do not take Tenuate more often or at higher doses than prescribed, as this can lead to addiction or dependence.
- For the medication to work properly, it must be taken as prescribed.
- If you are unsure about anything related to your Tenuate dosage, talk to your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist.

By Stefania Viscusi, Assignment Desk Editor
VoIP Developer Aculab recently launched the ApplianX IP Gateway (News - Alert), a part of the ApplianX portfolio of offerings and that boasts an "easy to install, configure and manage network device."
With the enterprise class ApplianX IP Gateway, a deployment-ready SIP to TDM gateway that bridges between PSTN and IP networks, enterprises are offered a way use new IP based services and endpoints while still being able to also use their TDM based equipment, all while reducing operational costs.
The new offering also includes 1, 2 or 4 E1 or T1 trunks that support a variety of E1 and T1 protocols and approvals, and which make it possible for enterprises to deploy the device worldwide to connect to their remote offices and service networks.
Other advantages of the new gateway include the ability to easily configure and administer the offering from an HTML interface, so users can have remote backup and restore of configurations and user data that is stored.
For enterprises looking to continue leveraging their investment in legacy equipment, the ApplianX IP Gateway also "offers support for many PBX (News - Alert) inter-working protocols, such as Q.SiG and DPNSS," a news release notes.
The news release also notes the ApplianX IP Gateway offers support for a number of voice codecs including "G.711, G.723.1, G.726, G.729A&B and iLBC, guaranteeing connection to a diverse mix of endpoint devices."
Earlier this year, Aculab (News - Alert) unveiled the ApplianX for VoIP Networks that would include "a number of devices designed for network infrastructure roles in the developing converged networks of enterprises and service providers."
And while the new gateway is an initial offering within the ApplianX portfolio, the company has said it will eventually also include a range of voice and video IP gateways, SIP trunking gateways, media servers and associated devices, "available in both enterprise class and carrier class presentations."
In an interview with TMC's Rich Tehrani (News - Alert), Alan Pound, MD and CTO of Aculab commented, "The strategy behind ApplianX was set against the backdrop of a dramatically changing the market for hardware and software-based enabling technologies… The ApplianX range has been designed with this trend in mind, offering deployment-ready products based on Aculab's award winning Prosody X IP media processing cards. Each ApplianX product plays an infrastructure role in the converged networks of enterprises and service providers, to can address a number of service provision needs. In short, we are extending the reach of our technology to a broader set of solution providers and end users."

* Masterd is wondering what happened here. It used to be a constructive topic.
well, obviously, you have not been reading very much around the site or on GitHub.... nor do you apparently "understand" what it means that SMF is a volunteer project.Yep... it's a "long time". We're not "stringing out" anything. We make releases when the release is ready. Beta3 is not ready, and so has not been released. Plain and simple.As for the other softwares... what do they have to do with us? (answer: absolutely nothing...) I am happy that they have made releases. Good for them. However, that has no bearing on our own release schedule.
I see that 59 people have investment in development of SMF 2.1 on Github and good, but still you didn't explain why SMF 2.1 creating almost 4 years, even if it is volunteer project.

Hi Vd74,
Sorry if this reply is too late & you have already had a transfer.
I have been TTC for almost 3 years & have been having accupuncture for at least 3 1/2 years generally once a week but the most important time to have acupuncture is immediately prior to transfer & straight after. It helps to increase blood flow to the uterus & I find it extremely relaxing & enjoy having me time without interruptions.
Good luck!

Three kinds of organizations for PWDs [persons with disabilities] abound in Israel: for those with developmental disability, for those with mental disabilities, and for those with physical disabilities.
Providing services to children and adults with developmental disorders are the National Association for the Habilitation of Children and Adults with Intellectual Disabilities (AKIM), Beit Issie Shapiro, Chimesis, Sulam, Aleh, The Israeli Society for Autistic Children (ALUT), Association Asperger—Israel (EPI), Beit Eckstein, Yated, and Kol Koreh.
Those with mental disabilities, on the other hand, can go to the Israel Association for the Disabled (Etgarim), The Israeli Mental Health Association (Enosh), Kfar Rafael, Ohr Le Nefesh, Somer, Seeach Sod, Association for the Advancement of learning Disabled Students in Higher Education (LESHEM), and The Israeli Association for Children and Adults with Learning Disabilities (Nitzan).
Physically disabled Israelites also have organizations to go to depending on their impairments. Those visually impaired can go to the Association of Americans and Canadians in Israel (AACI), Multi-Service for the Blind (Mercaz Rav Sherutim L'Eiver), and Variety.
Conversely, the deaf in this country can find belongingness at the Association of the Deaf in Israel (ADI), Organization of Hard of Hearing People in Israel (Bekol), Institute for the Advancement of Deaf Persons in Israel, Society for the Education of Deaf Children in Haifa and Northern Israel (Micha), and Shema.
Likewise, physically impaired Israelites suffering from diseases that affect the muscles and nerves such as cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis and other neuromuscular diseases can seek refuge in Israel's Foundation for Handicapped Children (ILAN).
Of all the centers that could alleviate the plight of persons with disabilities (PWDs) in Israel though, The PWD Forum found out 13 more organizations that care for the overall well-being of the PWDs in the country. The Association for the Quality of Life for Individuals with Special Needs (ACHLA), for one, runs the HEYANUT Center, the country's only holistic center that provides comprehensive support for individuals with complex special needs.
Although officially registered as a pediatric and rehabilitation facility, the ALYN Woldenberg Family Hospital is nonprofit, treating children who have been injured in road accidents and terror attacks, children suffering from congenital conditions, and children suffering from physical limitations due to various illnesses.
Parents of PWDs or children of PWDs in Israel are guided through these organizations: Beineinu, Jerusalem Special Education Center, Kesher, Shalva, and Yad Sarah.
Integration to the Jewish community has also been at the top of the minds of the people behind Avoda Negisha, Israel Elwyn, Center for Independent Living, MILBAT, Shekel, and Yachad.
"If we are to achieve a richer culture, we must weave one in which each diverse human gift will find a fitting place." Margaret Meade

|SVU, Episode 7.06
|Production number: 07008
First aired: 1 November 2005
| Written By
Dawn DeNoon
Directed By
Jonathan Kaplan
A six-year-old boy dies in a school shooting and two other children are severely injured. Despite multiple and unreliable descriptions by both kids and adults, one of the injured boys identifies a troubled student named Johnny Mayhew, who is found to be innocent, mainly because the gun is a pistol rather than the high-powered rifle used in the killing spree. As kids are returned to school, one terrified little girl is noticed by the detectives. Doctor Huang questions her, and she eventually reveals that she was being molested by a man named Mr. Buggesi, whose name she mispronounced as "Mr. Bug Eyes," and he threatened to shoot her with a gun that was as tall as she was. As Cragen and Stabler go to his apartment in order to question him, they find the girl's uncle savagely beating him to a pulp. Both are arrested on the spot, but the only gun found is a realistic-looking toy rifle. Despite being found to have no connection with the shooting, Buggesi has warrants for sexual abuse in Florida, and will still be extradited as soon as he recovers from his injuries.
Meanwhile, Munch traces the gun used from South Dakota to a gun shop on Staten Island named Gun Ho. Stabler and Munch find that it is being managed by a young boy named Kyle Ackerman. A commotion in the basement during the investigation leads the detectives to find a woman named Star Morrison and that the gun shop is also a base of operations for "RAW," or "Revolution Aryan Warriors," a neo-Nazi white-supremacist group led by Kyle's father Brian Ackerman. Munch and Fin both face hatred and prejudice from the major suspects in the case during interrogations (due to Munch being Jewish and Fin being black). However, their investigation soon takes them from former Rikers inmate Brannon Lee Redding, the man who pulled the trigger, back to the gun shop owner, who makes no bones about his hatred of anyone who is not white. By comparison, the sniper is even more of an obnoxious bigot.
Eventually, it is revealed that Ackerman's group are terrorists, not just white supremacists. As Brannon reveals his ties to Brian's organization, Kyle and another member of the group, Christopher Rawlings, open fire on the courtroom, killing the sniper, the judge, and a court officer, and wounding Stabler, Munch, and another officer, but Stabler is able to kill Rawlings. Kyle goes to kill Stabler, but is killed from behind by Star, who reveals herself actually to be an undercover FBI agent, whose real name proves to be Dana Lewis. She later reveals to Munch that she infiltrated the group months before and worked her way to the top. She then apologizes to Munch and Fin for the racial slurs and behaviors she used against them, as that was part of her cover too and not her real personality, and both men forgive her. Later, Lewis visits Benson with the news that thanks to her undercover efforts, the FBI was able to bring down the group, doing so before they could bomb an unknown location. Lewis also reveals shocking evidence she uncovered during the bust: the adoptive parents of the murdered child hired the group to kill him for the money they would receive from life-insurance policies taken out on the child. Lewis and Benson confront the parents, who confess that they did it only for the money, not out of racist beliefs. They are then arrested for first-degree murder for hire.

Background information and notes
- There is a total body count of 7.
- This is the only instance where we see Munch get shot.
- This is the third time that Detective Elliot Stabler was forced to shoot and kill a suspect. In this case it was Christopher Rawlings.
- This episode is one of two that Wolf Films submitted for consideration for a 2006 Emmy nomination.
- Universal City Studios, who produces Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, owns the two fictitious websites mentioned in the episode and created by the Ackermans: "blitzkriegwarriors.org" and "blitzkriegkids.com."
- Goof/Nitpick: When Heshy Horowitz (according to dialog) evidently bails on his client, Brannon Lee Redding, Barry Moredock takes over representation of Brian Ackerman. Yet, even though Moredock has a brief major scene arguing with Novak and the judge, while Novak was questioning Redding right before the court shooting incident Horowitz is the attorney shown seated next to Ackerman instead, and Moredock is nowhere to be seen. It is unclear whether or not this was intentional.
- Barry Moredock, however, did say that he took over the case as defense attorney.

Atlanta, Georgia rapper Lil Scrappy is the latest former major label hit-maker dealing with financial woes. TMZ.com reports that while Scrappy has a high-profile role on VH1's "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" series, the former Warner Bros. Records artist owes a booking agency called Heavy Rotation an estimated $108,000.
The 2010 debt has escalated with interest and penalties, and Scrappy, who was formerly affiliated with G-Unit and DTP Records, is now reported to have his VH1 pay garnished to satisfy what he owes.
In late 2010, Scrappy and then live-in-girlfriend Diamond were said to be facing home foreclosure, when documents surfaced to reveal that they were late on rent payments.
Scrappy has appeared on both seasons 1 and 2 of VH1's reality show.

Ok, just got in to Chicago from my flight and am back online. Mike: you are still not providing very much information. :-\
Your first mails make it seem like MTT is continuing to run, but leaving "launchers" (assumedly mpirun processes) still running, but they have no children. Which would be very weird for mpirun to do, if it has no children left. This could be both an MTT and an ORTE bug, in this case. But your last mail seems to imply that MTT is hanging indefinitely. Can you please provide a clear, precise description of what is happening? FWIW: Yes, we are killing the parent first now, to give mpirun a chance to cleanup / tell remote orteds to die / kill children processes / etc. Killing the children first both doesn't test the common case of how people kill MPI processes (i.e., they kill mpirun), and it also doesn't allow mpirun to tell remote processes to die. Do you run with --verbose output? MTT should output messages like "*** Killing mpirun with SIGTERM", and the like. Do you see timeout messages at all? I.e., is MTT not entering the timeout code at all? ...etc. On Jun 23, 2014, at 12:16 PM, Dave Goodell (dgoodell) <dgood...@cisco.com> wrote: > On Jun 23, 2014, at 8:48 AM, Mike Dubman <mi...@dev.mellanox.co.il> wrote: > >> btw, i think now, when parent process is killed before child, OS makes child >> as "<defunct>" which stick around for good. > > The grandparent should inherit the child.

Head Start was created in 1965, and is currently the most successful (and longest-running) national education program for small children of low-income families.

Not only does Head Start provide education, but it also helps families with health, nutrition, and involvement services.
During the month of October, we celebrate the program as well as the teachers and administrators who keep it running. Head Start's approach is that not only is the teacher educating but, so are the parents and family as a unit. The learning does not need to stop at the class room door. Over the past four decades, in all of the 50 states, Head Start has touched the lives of more than 250,000 low-income preschool children and families.
Let ePromos help your company support this great program with promotional products.

Flooded, Wet, Moldy or Stinky Basement? Our Basement Waterproofing Collegeville PA Services Can Help Save Your Home
For over a decade, we've been helping Collegeville area home owners, just like you, dry their basements, get mold out of their homes and fixing their over-stressed, cracked, broken foundations.
Is Your Home Effected?
How can you tell if your home is having problems? Well, take a look ar your crawl space, foundation or basement and look for:
- White or green streaks on the walls
- Mold or mildew anywhere in the basement or attic
- Water "stains" or spots on the walls or floor of your cellar
- Musty or strong odors, especially during and after rainy weater
- Cracks on the outside of your foundation walls
- Cracks in the walls or floor of your basement
These problems are all too common, especially in the Collegeville, Phoenixville and King of Prussia area. A lot of it has to do with the way homes here are built, how drainage is installed (or not) and how water is managed, especially during the rainy and snowy seasons.
How We Can Help You Waterproof Your Basement in Collegeville:
First, we truly treat our customers like family. So, your home is treated as if it belonged to our own grandmothers. Attention to detail is key, as is finding the right solution for your specific problem.
- Your waterproofing or water management system will be tailored to your specific needs. Keeping water out of your home is not a one size fits all solution! We offer over 14 types of waterproofing systems and will make sure that your solution truly matches your home's problem
- Mold is not only removed, but prevented from coming back into your home because we make sure that mold's spores (how it reproduces) do not land on new areas and cause new growth.
- Your foundation is repaired on the inside and outside. Most companies only work on the inside…a sure-fire way to set yourself up for very expensive problems in the future.
- You get a Free Estimate and In-House financing
