What is a Provost?
The Provost serves as the Chief Academic Officer of the University and acts for the President when he or she is unavailable. The Provost oversees all of the educational programs of the University, including the growth and expansion of University programs.
The Provost is accountable for the quality of institutional teaching, research programs and student success as he reinforces the institution's standard of excellence. In addition, he strengthens partnerships with other universities and colleges to enhance medical education throughout the Pacific Northwest.
Dr. Edward Bilsky currently serves as the Provost and Chief Academic Office at Pacific Northwest University of Health Sciences.
He received a Ph.D. in Pharmacology and Toxicology from the University of Arizona Colleges of Medicine and Pharmacy in 1996, with a concentration in opioid pharmacology, pain and addiction. As an assistant professor at the University of Northern Colorado, he received that institution's highest honor, the Faculty Member of the Year in the spring of 2001, for his outstanding teaching, research and service to students. In the fall of 2001, he joined the faculty at the University of New England where he became a tenured Professor of Pharmacology and was the founding Director of the Center of Excellence in Neuroscience (CEN). The CEN incorporated research, education and outreach into its mission and vision and has created a robust community of neuroscientists and other scholars who are making meaningful contributions to their discipline, institution and community. More recently, he served as the Vice President for Research and Scholarship at UNE from 2011-2016. Under his leadership, UNE substantially grew the amount of external funding and scholarly output of the faculty and students, including major NIH and other health-related grants.
Dr. Bilsky engages a broad group of audiences on a variety of topics related to the neurobiology of pain, pain management and addiction to students in colleges of Osteopathic Medicine, Dental Medicine, Health Professions, Arts and Sciences and Pharmacy. He was awarded the 2011 AOA Research Mentor of the Year Award, was a finalist for the 2014 Council on Undergraduate Research Fellows award, a recipient of the Faculty for Undergraduate Neuroscience Lifetime Achievement Award and the 2014 Patient Advocacy Award from the American Academy of Pain Medicine. Dr. Bilsky's laboratory conducts translational research in the areas of pain, addiction and other neurological disorders. He has received over 6 million dollars in extramural funding to his own laboratory through a variety of federal, state and private grants and contracts including the National Institutes of Health, the Office of Naval Research and biotechnology/pharmaceutical companies. He has published over 80 peer-reviewed publications in leading journals, and has presented nationally and internationally in a variety of different venues. Dr. Bilsky co-founded two biotechnology companies that developed novel analgesics and other drugs to help manage opioid side effects. Part of this work brought a novel opioid antagonist into clinical trials. Both companies received SBIR phase I and II funding, and Dr. Bilsky has reviewed SBIRs and U grants for NIH study sections. As an expert in opioid pharmacology and early-stage drug discovery and development, he collaborates with scientists around the world and frequently consulted and conducted contracted work with biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies that have programs in analgesia and pain medicine.

Like all professions and trades, typographers and printers have their specialised vocabulary.
First there is the question of pages, leaves and sheets. The trimmed sheets of paper that make up a book are called leaves, A leaf has two sides, and a page is one side of a leaf. If you think of a book being opened flat, then you can see two leaves. The front of the righthand leaf, is called the recto page of that leaf, and the side of the lefthand leaf that you see is called the verso page of that leaf. So, a leaf has a recto and a verso page. Recto pages are the odd-numbered pages and verso pages are even-numbered.
Then there is the question of folios. The typographical term for the number of a page is folio. Not every page in a book has a printed folio, and there may be pages that do not have a folio at all. Pages with folios, whether printed or not, form the pagination of the book. Pages that are not counted in the pagination have no folios.
A typeface is a set of one or more fonts, in one or more sizes, designed as a stylistic whole.
A font is a set of characters. In the days of metal type and hot lead a font meant a complete alphabet and auxiliary characters in a given size. More recently it is taken to mean a complete set of characters regardless of size. A font of roman type normally consists of CAPITAL LETTERS, SMALL CAPITALS, lowercase letters, numbers, punctuation marks, ligatures (such as 'fi' and 'ffi'), and a few special symbols like &.
A font family is a set of fonts designed to work harmoniously together, such as a pair of roman and italic fonts.
The size of a font is expressed in points (72.27 points equals 1 inch equals 25.4 millimeters). The size is a rough indication of the height of the tallest character, but different fonts with the same size may have very different actual heights.
The typographers' and printers' term for the vertical space between the lines of normal text is leading, which is also usually expressed in points and is usually larger than the font size. The normal length of a line of text is often called the measure and is normally specified in terms of picas where 1 pica equals 12 points (1pc = 12pt). Documents may be described as being typeset with a particular font with a particular size and a particular leading on a particular measure; this is normally given in a shorthand form. A 10pt font with 11pt leading on a 20pc measure is described as 10/11 × 20, and 14/16 × 22 describes a 14pt font with 16pt leading set on a a 22pc measure.
Points and picas are the traditional printers units used in English-speaking countries. The didot point and cicero are the corresponding units used in continental Europe. In Japan 'kyus' (a quarter of a millimetre) may be used as the unit of measurement. Inches and centimetres are the units that we are all, or should be, familiar with.
The above units are all constant in value. There are also some units whose value depends on the particular font being used. The em is the nominal height of the current font; it is used as a width measure. An en is half an em. The ex is nominally the height of the letter 'x' in the current font. You may also come across the term quad, often as in a phrase like 'starts with a quad space'. It is a length defined in terms of an em, often a quad is 1em.

PEARL JAM VOX EDDIE VEDDER GOES INTO THE WILD
Eddie Vedder, frontman for Pearl Jam, has been nominated for a Golden Globe Award for a song from the film Into The Wild.
Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder was approached by veteran actor turned director Sean Penn to contribute to the film Into The Wild. The film stars Emile Hirsch as Christopher McCandless, who embarks on a soul searching trip into the North American wilderness into Alaska.
Vedder, who usually writes on his own or with his band Pearl Jam, talked about working directly for Into The Wild.
"This was really different because it was streamlined. You were writing to the film, you were writing to the story — this story. It took away so many choices. So, instead of feeling like you were working within boundaries they were really a set of parameters that were really helpful. You know, the song had to be two minutes long, it was at this point of this journey, and that there had to be an instrumental halfway through so that a voice-over could come in. It was really great to work with."
He also talked about what he felt was his job in relation to his music and the film.
"I think that was the biggest contribution was just having a linnear sound, even if that was just the voice or singing voice leading you comfortably from one bit to the next. It almost becomes what's inside the kid's head. And I'm sure, I'd imagine that telling the story was…becomes a collage for Sean, I think. He's got this incredible story to tell, and most of it is this kid on his own, out there, and getting from one place to the next. So he's using voice-overs and using stuff from the kid's notebooks and passages from books he was reading. I think maybe he felt the music in being useful in telling the story, some interior voice of the character. That's thing I felt responsible for."
Into The Wild is currently in theaters and Vedder contributed all original music to the film and its soundtrack. The movie also stars 40 Year Old Virgin star Catherine Keener, William Hurt, Marcia Gay-Harden, and Vince Vaughn.

Police detain man believed to have fatally shot 4 Muslim men in Albuquerque
08/09/2022 4:12 pm PDT
Metropolitan Detention Center
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (TCD) -- Police announced Tuesday that they located and detained a man believed to be connected to four shooting deaths around the city that targeted Muslim men.
On Tuesday, Aug. 9, Albuquerque Police Chief Harold Medina announced on Twitter that investigators identified a vehicle they believe the suspect used and located the driver. He is reportedly the "primary suspect" in the killings.
According to Medina, the suspect was armed and "in crisis," but officers reportedly "deescalated the situation."
In a press conference, Albuquerque Police Deputy Commander Kyle Hartsock identified the suspect as 51-year-old Muhammad Syed and said he was linked to at least two of the deaths. Police received a tip about Syed, and reportedly honed in on him as a suspect.
They obtained a search warrant for his home, and as they were preparing to execute the warrant, they saw him get into the car that police said was connected to the crime.
Police followed Syed and stopped him near Santa Rosa, New Mexico. A SWAT team then executed the search warrant at a home and recovered "multiple firearms."
Hartsock said, "At least one of them inside the home and at least one of them inside the car that was pulled over are matching our two crime scenes."
KRQE-TV reports Albuquerque Police said in a news release investigators "discovered evidence that shows the offender knew the victims to some extent and an interpersonal conflict may have led to the shooting."
On Aug. 6, the Albuquerque Police Department said officers responded to a shooting call the night prior near Truman Street and Grand Avenue and found a man deceased. He was described as a Muslim man from South Asia in his mid-20s, and investigators believe his death was related to three other killings of South Asian Muslim men in the area.
Twenty-seven-year-old Muhammed Afzaal Hussain was killed Aug. 1, 2022, and 41-year-old Aftab Hussein was found dead July 26, 2022, in southeast Albuquerque. They were reportedly both from Pakistan, according to Albuquerque Police.
On Nov. 7, 2021, Afghan native Mohammad Ahmadi was killed outside of his business in northwest Albuquerque.
KRQE identified the most recent victim as 25-year-old Naeem Husain.
Hartsock said detectives are still investigating the motive and will "follow the evidence."
Jail records show Syed is being held on two counts of open murder.

Today's recipe is a vegan cream of mushroom soup inspired by Alissa Segersten at Nourishing Meals. It is so creamy, that you would never guess that it was dairy or gluten free.
The Northside Farmers Market carries wonderful mushrooms that have been cultivated right here in Cincinnati. Alan Susarret from Probasco Farm cultivates mushrooms year round. His most popular variety that he sells is a beautiful, pearlescent oyster mushroom. This mushroom is a lovely addition to this vegan cream of mushroom soup.
Heat a large stock pot over medium heat. Sauté the onions in olive oil until translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Add in the vermouth and allow to cook for a few minutes, driving off the alcohol. Add in the garlic, carrots, and mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes. Add the water or stock, herbs, pepper, salt. Cover and simmer for about 25 minutes or until the vegetables have softened and flavors have married. Using an immersion blender, add in the cashews and sweet rice flour. Blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer batches of the soup to a high speed blender and add the cashews and sweet rice flour, blending until smooth, being careful not to burn yourself.

As the National Conference awaits its August 4 resumption date to consolidate and reconcile its report, there are alleged clandestine moves by some northern delegates to stall the report of the conference when it is eventually submitted to the National Assembly.
The conference was abruptly adjourned till August 4 due to the inability of the delegates to reach a consensus on resource control, stabilisation fund for the development of solid minerals and rehabilitation of places experiencing violence, especially in the North-east region.
As part of the northern delegates' effort to stall the conference report, a meeting under the leadership of a past female senator from Niger State, who is also a delegate to the conference, Khairat Gwadabe, took place with some northern delegates and members of the National Assembly.
The meeting, it was learnt, lasted well into the early hours of Saturday. The grouse of the northern delegates is over resolutions of the conference on state police, local government autonomy and states as federating units among others.
According to a source, the part of the strategies adopted by the northern delegates who attended the meeting was to aggressively pursue enlistment of support of members of the North-west, North-east and North-central caucuses in the National Assembly in an effort to make sure the report, when brought to the National Assembly for ratification, is 'killed'.
The sponsors of the move plan to use the opportunity of the annual recess of the National Assembly to lobby both senators and members of the House of representatives from the north to ensure that the report is scuttled.
The National Assembly began a two-month annual recess last Thursday. The conference, in consideration of the report of its 20 committees, had a smooth sail on 19 reports but the failure on the issues of local government administration, state police and derivation stalled the continued presentation of the reports.
Northern delegates bickered over the desirability of the recommendation, which was passed through a voice vote to have local government administration transferred from the exclusive legislative list to the residual list.
Some of them also expressed concerns over the resolution to create additional 18 states, with a special one for the South-east zone. As the conference rose, most of them were heard vowing to 'fight' to ensure the report does not see the light of day.
The most contested report was that from the Committee on Devolution of Powers co-chaired by Obong Victor Attah, a former governor of Akwa Ibom State, and Alhaji Ibrahim Coomasie, a leader of Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) and former Inspector General of Police.
Though most items on the report were adopted by plenary, the issue of derivation became contentious despite the committee recommendation that the status quo be maintained with a call for the creation of a fund to address the destruction caused by insurgency in the country.
To resolve the matter however, the leadership of the conference allowed ample time for mediation by leaders of the six geopolitical zones leading to an agreement that the derivation benchmark be raised to "not less than 18 per cent," while the fund for insurgency destructions, reconstruction was pegged at five per cent with the proviso that the fund be made open to every state of the federation where terrorists have caused destructions, beginning with the North-east region.
The recommendation nevertheless drew the ire of North-central and North-west delegates who insisted that specific mention be made that the fund is exclusively for the three northern geopolitical zones, while South-east and South-west delegates asked that it be expanded to take care of every state of the country where terrorism had occurred.
Still, some delegates, especially representatives of civil society organisations, called for the increase of the National Intervention Fund, which is currently at 1.5 per cent, as captured in the constitution, to five per cent to address the problem of reconstruction.
Disagreements generated by these issues left the Justice Idris Kutigi-led conference to refer the matter to the federal government for resolution, after several efforts at finding a middle ground acceptable to all, failed.
Northern delegates, who became aggrieved with some resolutions reached by the conference, had also moved to get the leadership to jettison the decisions as ground for allowing 18 per cent derivation, state police and local government migration to states.
To achieve their goal, the delegates, operating under the umbrella of Northern Delegates Forum (NDF), it was learnt, had sent emissaries to Justice Kutigi warning him against allowing some of the decisions to see the light of day.
They also attempted to blackmail Deputy Chairman of the conference, Prof. Bolaji Akinyemi, towards back-stepping on his job, by linking him with moves to smuggle a prepared constitution for endorsement by delegates.
Specifically, the NDF accused Akinyemi of inducing delegates to support the writing of a new constitution from the conference, an allegation that was effectively denied and rebuffed by the conference leadership.
The new move is seen as part of a wider campaign against the conference resolutions and its leadership which had seen some northern delegates describing it as a failure.
Efforts to reach Senator Gwadabe failed as several calls put through could not be connected to her.
Meanwhile, Vice-President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and delegate to the National Conference, Mr. Issa Aremu, has said that the conference delegates had passed about 500 recommendations within the four months of their deliberations.
Aremu disclosed that the committee on foreign policy headed by Professor Ibrahim Gambari, recommended the need to revive the nation's foreign policy, particularly the peace-keeping operations.
The NLC vice-president appealed to President Goodluck Jonathan to ensure that all policy issues raised by the delegates that are not constitutional matters, be handed directly to the executive, while others should be forwarded to the National Assembly.
He also appealed to the federal government to revive the old vocational centres, through the Industrial Training Fund (ITF) to reduce the unemployment rate.
Aremu added that the delegates resolved that labour issues should remain on the exclusive list. He therefore appealed to government to allocate more funds to resuscitate moribund industries through intervention funds.

'Extreme concern' as UK coronavirus cases soar by 53,000 - highest daily increase yet
Government figures also show another 414 people have died within 28 days of testing positive for Covid-19
Saffron OtterWeekend content & features writer
Latest coronavirus cases (Image: PA)
The UK has recorded a new highest daily increase of coronavirus cases since the pandemic began.
It comes just one day after a record of new cases in a day was set on Monday with more than 41,000.
But now, as of Tuesday, December 29, government figures show that there has been a further 53,135 lab-confirmed cases of coronavirus in the UK.
It brings the total number of cases in the UK to 2,382,865.
Meanwhile, the government also said another 414 people have died within 28 days of testing positive for Covid-19 as of Tuesday, bringing the UK's Covid death toll to 71,567.
However the figures for deaths and cases are likely to be higher due to discrepancies over the holiday period in reporting from the devolved nations.

NHS England said on Tuesday that a further 365 people who tested positive for coronavirus have died in hospital in England, bringing the total number of confirmed deaths reported in hospitals to 49,225.
Patients were aged between 26 and 101. All except 12, aged between 43 and 92, had known underlying health conditions.
The deaths were between December 12 and 28.
There were 11 other deaths reported with no positive Covid-19 test result.
In Wales, there have been a further 2,510 cases of coronavirus, taking the total number of confirmed cases to 144,425.
Public Health Wales reported on Tuesday that another 33 deaths, taking the total in Wales since the start of the pandemic to 3,416.
Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said 1,895 Covid-19 cases were recorded on Tuesday in Scotland – the highest daily number recorded.
Dr Susan Hopkins, senior medical adviser for Public Health England, said the "unprecedented levels" of Covid-19 infection across the UK was of "extreme concern".
"Whilst the number of cases reported today include some from over the festive period, these figures are largely a reflection of a real increase," she said.
"It is essential, now more than ever, that we continue to work together to stop the spread of the virus, bring the rate of infection down and protect the most vulnerable and the NHS.
"A critical part of this is each and every one of us abiding by the restrictions in place however hard it may seem at this time of the year.
"It is critical that we reduce our contacts, especially mixing between households. We must observe the basic measures — wash your hands, wear a mask and keep your distance from others."

The first time I saw François Truffaut's The 400 Blows (1959) was probably similar to the way most people my age see the movie. It was the first of two films I watched illustrating the French New Wave in my film history class. I had seen Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless (1960)on my own time a few years ago, and his Vivre Sa Vie (1962) last year in my Intro to Film course, but neither of them had the effect The 400 Blows did on me. Here was something I felt matched the description people give to the French New Wave. It was fresh, and so real.
This is not to put down Godard (the second film we watched that week was his Contempt 1963))I have found I really need to be in a certain mood to watch a Godard film, because his stuff is a lot more intense for me. It's still very real, but I feel his films can be more political than Truffaut's and that just puts my head in a different mindset when watching a movie.
In The 400 Blows, there are a lot of little things that don't really push plot forward, but they reminded me of something or another from the past. Who can't smile during that scene when the opportunistic schoolboys peel off in small groups during a gym class run through the city? I think we all used to have thoughts about doing something like that during school.
Then there is that last sequence where Antoine Doinel escapes the reform school and runs out to sea, ending in the famous freeze frame. We don't know what will happen to this character, there is no sure conclusion.The entire movie is made up of moments in Doinel's life, the ones that drive him to act in rebellion, run away from home, play hookie from school. But it feels like real life, and it is interesting enough on it's own to not need a traditional plot or conclusion. There is a beautiful and haunting lyricism to Truffaut's work, and to me it is just mesmerizing to watch.
The same feelings held true when I watched Jules and Jim (1962) this past weekend. Made a few years after The 400 Blows, it is also considered a classic and standout of the French New Wave. It is a period piece, set around World War I in France. The story follows two friends, Jules (Oskar Werner) and Jim (Henri Serre), and the woman they both love, Catherine (Jeanne Moreau). Jules is quieter, and more of a cerebral type, whereas Jim is more outgoing. Catherine is a strong woman and a free spirit, and captures the attention of both men from the start. She ends up marrying Jules, and moves back to his homeland in Austria just as the war is breaking out. Because both Jules and Jim are from different countries, they fear that one might have killed the other during the war, but both come out of the conflict alive.
Jim goes to visit Jules, Catherine and their daughter Sabine in Austria, and ends up staying with them. The relationship between Jules and Catherine is strained, and Jules fears she might leave them. When Catherine shows interest in Jim, Jules gives them his blessing to marry, because he would at least still be able to see her. But Catherine does not seem to be satisfied with settling down with one man, and her and Jim's relationship starts to go the way of her one with Jules..and I won't spoil what goes down from there, so you should just watch the movie.
I am very excited to continue exploring what Truffaut did in his career. He unfortunately died at the age of 52, with 27 director's credits to his name. I remember one time at work I told one of my co-workers, who graduated with a film degree, that I had just watched The 400 Blows and loved it, and she said, "I knew it! I knew you would be a Truffaut girl." (I'm pretty sure she's a Godard girl). But it's true, I'm in love. I also love that Truffaut started as a writer for Cahiers du Cinéma, and then went on to make the kind of movies he talked about there. Within all that was groundbreaking about his and the other French New Wave director's work, there lives a passion for cinema that all movie lovers can relate to.

your colleague is probably right when it comes to new wave, you tend to swing towards one or the other of them. whilst i'm generally drawn to the more poetic films it is Godard (and only his early stuff) that fills me with excitement.
Thanks! I'm excited to officially be a part of the LAMB.


Transactional Analysis (TA) was first described as a coherent concept by Eric Berne in his 1964 book 'Games People Play'. Berne outlined his theory of the person, which places interpersonal interactions, or transactions, at the centre. He defines a transaction as occurring when we respond to a stimulus signal (e.g. a question) from another person.
In responding to these stimuli, we are likely to adopt one of three mind states (i.e. child, adult or parent), which will intersect with the other persons mind state. The child state is based on feelings, the parent mind state is generally critical, whilst the adult mind state – which is the preferred mode – is rational. Thus transactions, or conversations can occur at a number of levels e.g. child – child, child – parent, adult – child etc. As you can imagine, adult to adult mind state interactions are best, as they will be rational and often co-operative, whilst parent – parent interactions may be overtly critical in nature, which if repeated may descend into conflict.
Berne hypothesises that, during difficult or stressful times and/or periods of insecurity, we may regress in a child mind state. In a healthcare setting, 'difficult' patients experiencing illness may be operating from their child state, and require positive reinforcement to build their 'adult' self. Hostile relatives may be operating from a judgemental, 'parent' state and thus require a response which is adult, and rational. This of course assumes that we are conscious at all times of our behaviour, and that of others, and the mind state being adopted by either party. Equally, it should be recognised that these mind states are dynamic, and may change frequently during the course of any interaction. Indeed, Berne argues that transactions assemble into 'games' which, when repeated / practised often enough during our lifetime condition us to respond semi-automatically to stimuli (like 'scripts'). In this regard, being finely tuned to the positions being adopted – usually unconsciously – and developing insight is paramount.
The ultimate goal of Transactional Analysis is to build up our adult mind state through positive and productive interactions to be rational, caring and co-operative. TA offers a systematic approach to understanding ourselves and others, and its approaches are practical, insightful and readily communicated. This makes TA an ideal framework for teaching & learning 'soft-skills', as it aligns a reasonable explanation of both the conscious (behavioural) and unconscious (emotional) processes in people, with parallel principles for effective behaviour modification.

Will My Car Pass a Safety Inspection in Ontario?
Will My Car Pass a Safety Inspection?
Buying a new-to-you car? Congratulations!
Just moved to Ontario? Welcome! What took you so long?
These two occasions have something in common.
The cars or passenger vehicles in your possession will have to get a Safety Standard Certificate.
In 2016, Ontario implemented the Passenger/Light-Duty Vehicle Inspection Standard which all auto shops in Ottawa follow.
When newcomers - or used-car owners - start looking for someone to perform the safety inspection, it's natural to wonder: will my car pass a safety inspection?
Worst-case scenario, your car is going to have to undergo some repairs before it can pass a safety inspection.
We know that stings a little, but trust us: you'll feel so much better when you car gets an A+.
Here are a few examples of problems that would require fixing before passing a safety inspection.
Your exhaust system is part of your car's powertrain. Powertrain refers to the mechanism that transmits the power from your engine to the axles of your vehicle.
Leaks in your exhaust mean dangerous carbon monoxide fumes, which could filter into your car. Any cracks or leaks should be immediately repaired.
In Ontario, you have 10 days to get the repairs made after the inspection. We can help you with that.
Are you an aggressive braker?
Perhaps you've had to do one or two emergency stops.
Or you could be the most deliberate driver in the world, and have had your brakes for a long time.
No matter what kind of driver you are, brakes wear out over time, and need to be replaced. This is especially important if you're buying a used car with brakes worn in by someone else.
Based on Ontario guidelines, if your brake-shoe lining is 1.6 millimetres or less, you'll have to get them replaced so your car can pass a safety inspection.
At 1.6 mm, we recommend talking to us about your brake replacement options. It's better to get them replaced while you're here than find out in 6 weeks you need to make another appointment.
Your suspension moves. A lot. Up and down, around the corners.
Suspension is built to last, but it needs to be well-tended. Otherwise, components could wear out.
While you may have gotten used to feeling all the bumps, that's really not great for your car.
If the ball joints or springs of your suspension are past their prime, or there's a difference in height of 25 mm or more on your vehicle's alignment, these issues will have to be fixed prior to your safety inspection.
Bald tires are bad. Period.
With no tread depth, you're not able to grip the road. This leads to dangerous driving conditions for you and other people on the road, particularly if the weather changes.
Whether you're using the tires that came with your new used car, or tires you've kept from a previous car, they'll have to be inspected for the safety inspection.
Based on the Ontario guidelines, any tire with a tread depth of 2 mm or less requires replacing.
We sell tires, so we can do this for you. It may add a couple hours to your visit, but we have a comfortable waiting area available to all our customers.
Instruments refer to the tools on your dashboard, like your speedometer and odometer.
These are crucial if you want to drive safely and avoid speeding tickets.
Sometimes your car's instruments lose calibration. You might not even realize it, unless you drive by a speed gun.
It's one of the things on our car safety inspection checklist, and we'll want to fix it before your car can pass a safety inspection.
Every part of your steering mechanism plays an important role. One loose piece, and the risk of a steering problem goes up exponentially.
Drivers only ever see the wheel. If it goes left and right, you assume that all is well.
At a safety inspection, we complete a thorough look at all components, and may have to replace some if we notice significant wear and tear.
We know it seems like there's a lot of repairs in your near future.
While that may be the case, there are also some things you don't have to repaired right away.
Exhaust systems have joints. Around these joints you would see soot or even small leak marks.
Wait - leaks are bad, aren't they?
You're right. But tiny leaks around the joints are normal because the connection isn't seamless.
If you have a crack in your windshield, you've probably spent most of this article wondering when we're going to mention it. More specifically, you're wondering if your going to have to replace your entire windshield before the safety inspection.
According to the Ontario Vehicle Inspection Standard, cracks in a windshield are divided into two categories: reject and pass.
Any crack through one layer that extends more than 50 mm into the windshield wiper area.
Any star-shaped chip with a diameter of 13 mm or more in the windshield wiper area.
Any crack that extends less than 50 mm into the windshield wiper area.
Any star-shape chip with a diameter of less than 13 mm in the windshield wiper area.
Any crack that is longer than 50 mm, but outside the windshield wiper area.
Any star-shape chip with a diameter of more than 13mm, but outside the windshield wiper area.
While we recommend getting cracks in your windshield repaired as quickly as possible, most will not impact your safety inspection.
Scratches and dings are annoying, we know.
But since scratches don't damage the integrity of your vehicle's body, they aren't a safety issue that needs to be resolved prior to the inspection.
Severe rust can have a damaging effect on your car. But purely surface rust spots are just that: purely surface.
If you're worried about the rust spots on your car, have us take a look. Unless it's severe rust, you won't have to get it fixed that day.
We use our car safety inspection checklist to ensure that we certify everything, everytime.
You need your Safety Standards Certificate for the next step of registering your car.
The technicians at Bemac will help you get there by giving you honest estimates of your car's condition, and conducting a professional inspection that leaves no stone unturned.

Antonia Juhasz
author of the new book The Tyranny of Oil: The World's Most Powerful Industry — And What We Must Do to Stop It. Her previous book, The Bush Agenda: Invading the World, One Economy at a Time.
Along with so-called clean coal technology, both of the major presidential candidates also supporting expanded offshore oil drilling. We speak to Antonia Juhasz, author of the new book The Tyranny of Oil: The World's Most Powerful Industry — And What We Must Do to Stop It. [includes rush transcript]
StoryNov 14, 2019CodePink Founder Medea Benjamin Threatened with Arrest After Protesting U.S. Foreign Interventions
AMY GOODMAN: Along with so-called clean coal technology, both the major presidential candidates — Barack Obama, John McCain — are also supporting expanded offshore oil drilling. Last month, the Democratic-led Congress let expire a twenty-six-year-old ban on offshore oil drilling.
Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin is now pushing to also allow for drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Palin's campaign slogan has become "Drill, baby, drill."
Meanwhile, the price of oil continues to fall. On Monday, oil briefly fell below $90 a barrel for the first time since February. This marks a nearly $60 drop since July.
Joining us now is Antonia Juhasz, author of her second book, The Tyranny of Oil: The World's Most Powerful Industry — and What We Must Do to Stop It. She is fellow with Oil Change International and the Institute for Policy Studies. Her earlier book is The Bush Agenda: Invading the World, One Economy at a Time.
Welcome to Democracy Now!
ANTONIA JUHASZ: Thanks for having me.
AMY GOODMAN: What do you mean by the tyranny of oil?
ANTONIA JUHASZ: Well, I mean that this is, at this point, the most powerful, most profitable, most politically dominant set of companies in the United States and in the world. They are creating a tyrannical rule over our government with a resource that is creating a tyrannical impact on our climate and driving us towards a climate extinction and, of course, war.
AMY GOODMAN: Why are oil and gas prices so high?
ANTONIA JUHASZ: Well, they went up last week, the highest one-day jump in the history of crude oil prices, back down, as you said, to $90, now back up to $93. They are this high, and they are this volatile, because of deregulation, the exact same deregulation that fed the mortgage meltdown, the exact same deregulation that gave us Enron, if folks remember Enron, deregulation of crude oil futures markets led by the lobbying efforts of Big Oil and big banks, who are now reaping big benefits.
The banks that have survived so far: Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, the two banks with oil companies that founded their own unregulated crude futures exchange, on which the majority of crude oil futures are now traded, which have sent the price skyrocketing and put, essentially, control of this — the most important factor determining the world economy into the hands of speculative traders, many of whom are former Enron traders, working at the banks, working at the oil companies and working at hedge funds.
AMY GOODMAN: You have a chapter called "Lobbyists, Lawyers and Elections: How Big Oil Kills Democracy."
ANTONIA JUHASZ: Yeah, one of the things that I found fascinating, actually, in doing my own research and as someone who has worked for two members of Congress, was to uncover how this profit — and just to be clear, these are the highest profits in the history of the world, unparalleled with any other industry.
AMY GOODMAN: Which companies?
ANTONIA JUHASZ: Big Oil, the big oil companies: Exxon — Exxon Mobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, BP/Shell, also Marathon and Valero, are the biggest companies operating in the United States. The profits are unparalleled, with the defense industry, pharmaceuticals, banks, you name it, no comparison.
So this money just infiltrates every layer of government, from the most local level — I tell the story of Richmond, California, near where I live — to the state level, federal, international, and permeates, not just in campaign contributions, which of course is important — so far, about $1.6 million by the oil industry to McCain-Palin, a little less than $400,000 to the Obama-Biden ticket, a pretty clear difference there, about 75 percent of oil given to Republicans overall. But campaign contributions are just the very tip of the iceberg. It really is lobbying, where the big money comes in. It's the front groups that you don't even know are associated with the oil industry, where the influence comes in.
AMY GOODMAN: Like?
ANTONIA JUHASZ: Like, well, one that folks know is the American Petroleum Institute. Another is the US Chamber of Commerce, which is getting more and more and more money from the oil industry and doing more of its bidding. The US Chamber of Commerce is by far the largest lobbying presence on the Hill. And that money permeates decision making, so that when we should be winning, when even people like Governor Palin say, "Climate change is a real issue, it's a problem, it's affecting my state," at the same time we can eliminate a twenty-seven-year moratorium on offshore drilling. We can do it for shale. We can go into tar sands. It's ridiculous.
AMY GOODMAN: How did that happen?
ANTONIA JUHASZ: Money. Simple. Very, very simple. Both candidates, Obama and McCain, changed their previous opposition to offshore drilling. The opposition to offshore drilling is based on, one, it's incredibly expensive and, in the words of a Chevron executive who I quote in the book, "a total crapshoot." $120 million per hole. 80 percent are dry holes. We already know from the Bush administration, ten years until offshore drilling is likely to do anything for anyone, except the oil companies. So why do they do it if it's not going to lead to oil? It will lead to some oil, and they know that oil is only going up, and it lets them book those reserves, count the potential reserves as their oil, to move their stocks up.
So, terrible for the environment — really quickly, on Governor Palin's constant statement, "clean" offshore drilling? Just like clean coal, absolutely unreal, an unreal statement, for many reasons. One of them is that drilling at water depths of 500 feet or greater — and now we're talking about water depths of 1,000 feet, 5,000 feet — any drill that — any hole that's 500 feet or lower releases methane, a greenhouse gas at least twenty times more potent to climate change than CO2. There's no such thing as clean drilling. It's just clean and easy for the oil industry to book reserves, environmentally devastating for the rest of us.
AMY GOODMAN: What about this huge fluctuation in oil prices? I mean, you go from, what was it, $140 this summer, now to $90. What explains it?
ANTONIA JUHASZ: Well, a lot explains it. The most important thing, of course, that explains it is the trauma to all of the financial markets. And these are — these markets, of course, are intimately linked. As I said, most of the energy trading is coming out of oil companies, banks, hedge funds. The banks are also morphing into oil companies. So, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, in particular, buying up oil fields, buying up pipelines, becoming oil companies themselves, as a way to solidify their income base.
But the price has been so volatile, because the energy traders are trying to figure out how best to capture and hold onto their profits in a completely unregulated, thoroughly manipulated market. I think we can definitely expect a continuation in the fluctuations, but most likely, the price is definitely just going to go up and up and up.
But also, to say that the last time that oil surpassed, or the first time in fact that oil surpassed $100 a barrel, was in 1981. That set off a global recession, from which, in particular, the developing countries are only beginning to emerge from. We have now, of course, entered into another global recession, based on, I would argue, primarily, the first impact being the price of oil going up. This is a resource to which we have to have control. We have to be able to regulate it. It cannot be being manipulated by Big Oil, big banks, for their interests, as opposed to larger global and social interests.
AMY GOODMAN: You talk about wars for oil.
ANTONIA JUHASZ: Yeah, I mean, one of the things that's been amazing was with Senator McCain constantly reiterating this need for US energy independence, as if more drilling would give us that, which is another topic, but his admittance essentially that we are engaging in wars for oil, and if we don't want to do that, in his framework, we're going to need to drill more in the United States — I think a clear admission that we are, of course, engaged in wars for oil and will continue to do so.
I think it's quite clear that the invasion of Iraq was a war not for the United States to potentially get a greater supply of oil, but rather for Exxon, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, BP/Shell, to get their hands on Iraqi oil, believed to be the second or the largest remaining conventional source of oil. I mean, essentially, there's very little conventional oil left out there, relatively speaking to what we use. The oil companies need to gain greater ownership of what's left. What's left is in three countries — Iran, Iraq and Saudi Arabia — largely. Of course, it's in Africa, and that's why the Bush administration formally launched AFRICOM this week. We've got oil, of course, in Venezuela, and sporadic —-
AMY GOODMAN: AFRICOM, the…
ANTONIA JUHASZ: AFRICOM, the new US Defense Central Command for all of Africa. Many members of the Bush administration and even generals who are participating in Africa have been quite clear to say it's about oil, it's about making sure we can control African oil. The Bush administration has used our military to expand access to oil all over the world, but the big pockets of oil: Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia.
And if we want to end this -— the war in Iraq for oil, prevent a war in Iran, prevent militarization for oil around the world, one of the key things I believe we must accomplish is bringing into control, bringing into a sizable entity, Big Oil, so that its profits cannot dominate our political decision making.
AMY GOODMAN: How do you propose taking on Big Oil, Antonia Juhasz?
ANTONIA JUHASZ: A number of ways, but two very simple ones. A great campaign launched by Oil Change International calling for the separation of oil and state, essentially based on the very successful campaigns against the tobacco industry in the 1990s that made it toxic for elected officials to receive tobacco money. It became a badge you did not want to wear. And they started not taking that money, and it made it possible to start regulating an industry that everyone thought was impenetrable throughout the '90s, now no longer considered quite so quite so much. Oil, of course, another toxic substance on which we have developed an intense addiction. Getting candidates to renounce all oil industry money and calling on individuals to vote for the least oily candidate out there, and being able to hold election promises to account after elections.
Also, of course, dealing substantially with lobbying reform, reducing consumption, investing in alternatives and public transportation, and, I believe, following the model of the successful populace a hundred years ago who broke up Standard Oil, breaking up the big oil companies today.
AMY GOODMAN: Antonia Juhasz, I want to thank you for being with us, congratulate you on your second new book, The Tyranny of Oil: The World's Most Powerful Industry — And What We Must Do to Stop It.

I think my postinst script is not terminating correctly,
I'm missing something but don't know what.

A: I finally figured it out. One of my scripts called by postinst called /bin/bash which started a new shell that caused dpkg to run in the background and never finish.

A few weeks ago, I had driven a woman and her children to my church service. She had escaped to Lebanon from a North African country following persecution.
She had come to faith in Jesus Christ and became a Christian, but her family could not accept this.
On the way to church, she explained to me that she had applied for refugee status at the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees office (UNCHR) in Beirut.
Her application was rejected; she has appealed the rejection decision, but she said she was not hopeful that the decision would change.
I have worked in the past on asylum cases and refugee law in Lebanon. And over the past year, I met with many persons who shared with me this same story, over and over again, from across the Middle East and North Africa region.
Persecuted converts to Christianity, fearing for their lives and the lives of their children, often end up in Lebanon.
However, each individual I met has told me that UNHCR had denied them refugee status and that the UNHCR interviewer was insensitive to their claims – claims that are mostly well founded in my opinion.
To qualify for asylum, an individual must have a fear of persecution for one of the reasons stated in the 1951 Refugee Convention and be able to demonstrate that their fear of persecution is well founded and that they are unable, or unwilling because of their fear, to seek protection in their country of origin or habitual residence.
UNHCR examines each case on its individual facts and looks at every case individually – not at the status of a particular minority.
UNHCR assesses whether effective protection is available in relation to the particular circumstances and profile of the claimant and the latest country-of-origin information.
Reports on religious freedoms and religious minorities, as well as reports by asylum services worldwide, confirm that persecution of converts in many Arab countries is a serious issue and is sufficient grounds for granting refugee status. UNHCR is well aware of the reports, accessible here.
For example, in a United Kingdom operational guidance note assessment for Egypt dated Nov. 8, 2013, Christian converts sit on top of the list of most vulnerable individuals prone to persecution, along with members of the Muslim Brotherhood and women.
Other reports include Bahai's and other religious groups as persecuted minorities in some Middle Eastern countries.
In the cases I have come across of Arabs seeking asylum in Lebanon, persecution is either by the family, the husband or the clan in the absence of state protection, or by state apparatuses, such as the judiciary or law enforcement officials, often upon incitement of the family or clan members. Several Arab countries criminalize religious conversion, proselytization or both.
The family of an Egyptian friend of mine formally stripped her of her inheritance last year.
She told me that during the turmoil in Egypt in summer, her own friend died – probably murdered – when her parents found out that she was going to church.
Other persons I have encountered from Jordan, Syria and other countries are likewise in Lebanon and unsure if they will ever be able to return home.
In a previous article, I had argued that the protection of Christians in the Middle East is achieved by upholding the rule of law and respecting human rights.
I equally wrote that the splitting or "dissection" of countries and people is detrimental to the well-being of the Church and to Christian witness.
The Institute of Middle East Studies laments that converts from any religion to any religion in the Middle East and North Africa are very often persecuted.
Many who become followers of Christ are forced to leave their communities or the region, where their witness and message of new hope is much needed.
I am not saying that every Muslim will necessarily be in favor of persecuting a convert to Christianity.
I have come across converts to Christianity living at peace within their Muslim families in North African countries.
I also know of a Christian woman hiding from her Christian family because she married a Muslim in a Middle Eastern country.
Yet, religious persecution at the local level is carried out mostly by private actors – or upon their instigation – in many Arab countries.
Recent political turmoil in several countries and a likely increase of persons changing religious affiliation could provoke an increase of asylum seekers in Lebanon.
This has led to many asylum seekers – including those persons I met – falling through the cracks and left vulnerable.
UNHCR Beirut should no longer disregard or downplay this phenomenon. They should give more credibility to the claims of Christian converts seeking asylum and not allow the cracks to endure.

These dutch oven baked red potatoes make an easy side dish for any dinner. Prepping goes quickly and they cook in about an hour. I made these to go with some grilled honey chipotle glazed boneless chicken thighs and it was fantastic.
Dutch Oven — I used my 4 quart oven to make 4 potatoes.
Thoroughly wash your potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels or a cloth. You want the potatoes to be roughly the same size so they'll be done at the same time.
With your knife, cut slices through the potato about 3/4 of the way down. Make your slices about 1/16th of an inch wide. Continue along the entire potato. It is important to use a sharp knife to maintain control of your cutting depth.
Rub the potatoes with oil completely. Try your best to get in between each slice. This is where the basting brush comes in handy.
Apply your rub to the potato. Try to get some in between the slices.
Place the potatoes in your dutch oven, making sure they aren't touching. You want room for air to move around each potato.
For my 4 quart dutch oven, I placed 8 coals underneath and 12 on top. Later, I added a few more to the top to help maintain temperature. For a larger oven, use 12 coals underneath and 24 on top.
The potatoes took about 50 minutes to bake. I could have let them go another 5-10 minutes to brown a bit more on the top, but my coals were dying down at that point so I decided it was good enough.
Honey chipotle glazed boneless chicken thighs with dutch oven baked red potatoes and baked beans. YUM!
As I mentioned, it would have been good to bake the potatoes for a few more minutes.
I used vegetable oil, but I bet olive oil would be really good too.
There are lots of seasoning options — Plain old salt and pepper would be nice.
Had I thought of it, I would have sprinkled some fresh chopped chives on top after baking.

On-Location L.A. Film Production Up Nearly 24% In Q1

On-location film and TV production is booming in Los Angeles, thanks in part to the state's $330 million annual tax incentives program. On-location feature film production was up 23.7% for the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015, and TV production was up 19.1%.
Compared to the average first quarters of each of the last five years, on-location film production was up 22.1%, and TV production was up 17.4%, according to data compiled by FilmLA, the city's film permit office.
"The very encouraging first quarter numbers from FilmLA demonstrate the impact of California's expanded tax credit program," said California Film Commission executive director Amy Lemisch. "They illustrate that the Film & Television Tax Credit Program 2.0 is working precisely as intended to attract and retain all types of productions, especially TV projects that create steady long-term jobs for cast and crew."
Even so, the vast majority of the increased production came from films and TV shows that did not receive tax credits. Of the feature film that shot in the city during the first quarter, only 155 shooting days (13.5% of the total 1,145) were generated by films such as God Particle and Please Stand By that received tax incentives.
TV comedies saw the biggest jump in on-location filming, up a whopping 83.2% in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first three months last year. Even so, the vast majority of those added shooting days came from non-incentivized productions. Of the comedies' 557 shooting days during the first quarter of 2016, only 81 days (14.5%) came from tax credit projects, such as HBO's Veep, which relocated to L.A. from Maryland in 2015.
TV dramas, meanwhile, only posted a 3.1% increase, to 1,091 shooting days, with only slightly more than 1/5 of the increase coming from tax credit projects such as Animal Kingdom, Rosewood, Twin Peaks and Westworld. TV pilot production grew only 2.7% in the first quarter, with just 37 of the 264 total shooting days attributed to tax-incentivized shows such as Bunker Hill, Nineteen and Pitch.
In other words, overall on-location film and TV production would have been up significantly even without the tax incentives. TV commercials, which don't get any tax incentives, increased by 6.1%, to 1.523 shooting days.
"We predicted we'd see a boost in Feature production in the first quarter thanks to the state tax credit, and we're glad to see that happening," said FilmLA president Paul Audley. "In addition, as the non-incentivized counts show, Los Angeles remains a popular choice among film, television and commercial producers."
The state's $330 million annual tax incentives program, which kicked in last summer, replaced a $100 million incentives menu that left many producers hungry and sent them to dine out of state.

Hu Joins Materials Science and Engineering Faculty
Incoming Assistant Professor Liangbing Hu
Assistant Professor Liangbing Hu has joined the Clark School's Department of Materials Science and Engineering. Hu also will be a member of the University of Maryland Energy Research Center (UMERC).
Hu, who earned his Ph.D. in physics form the University of California, Los Angeles, in 2007, is currently completing a postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Materials Science at Stanford University. He will arrive on campus in August 2011.
The University of Maryland's "outstanding" shared research facilities and centers were part of the reason Hu chose to come to the Clark School, and its people were the other. "The MSE program at UMD is strong and putting a lot of emphasis on energy research," he explains. "I will have the ability to work with the best students and colleagues here."
Hu's research group will focus on nanoscale devices for applications in energy and electronics, with an emphasis on materials design and fabrication. "I have many projects in mind," he tells us. "One goal is to [create] low-cost, high-efficiency and high-energy solar cells through roll-to-roll printed nanostructures. Another goal is to come up with high-performance energy storage systems for electric vehicles through nanoengineering. I am extremely excited about energy research and...flexible electronic devices based on nanoscale materials and printing methods."
Hu says his ideas and projects are focused on solving what he describes as society's "practical energy problems" through the development of new electronic technologies and solving fundamental problems in nanoscale energy research. He believes his work will ultimately set the stage for advancements in many consumer products and services, from better touch screens and batteries to more affordable electric vehicles and cheaper electricity.
Hu is currently recruiting members for his research group. Undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs and visiting scholars from a variety of disciplines are invited to learn more by visiting his homepage at www.mse.umd.edu/facstaff/hu.html.
