I've spoken to both Kent Stover and Liz Peaks extensively over why this is and why that is. I've offered several solutions (perceived to me as solutions) to several different routes - ones that I use daily - to no avail.If they don't know the method to their madness, then how am I supposed to persuade them to do it another way. I'm pretty sure there are quite a few posters on this forum that have the actual experience and educatation of the subject and haven't been able to crack that nut - I'm just the guy that rides the bus, personally witnesses the redundancy and overlapping and is put off by the lack of options due to poor route management monday through friday - but what do I know.I was at a couple of the 'public forums' in july and august. I don't remember the exact loop, but it eliminates the Landing, it eliminates St. Vincent and the Avondale Strip, it eliminates FCCJ Kent campus. I also believe it eliminates one of the busier stops at Water Street. But it does go past 4 parking garages and circles around both the front and the back of the new courthouse. I can't seem to find any renderings on the website or facebook (I'm guessing Lake couldn't either, or he would have posted them)
2016 = gas tax expiration = 1/3 loss of JTA operating revenue = forced makeover!
My guess is they don't want this thing to make it to a public referendum stage. No amount of selling what they do will get the public to vote for extending it in this town. If that came to pass, I'd bet the house that it would end up worse then Tampa's failed referendum for LRT last year. Instead, the best thing for JTA would be to quietly get council and the mayor's office to extend it before it expires. In this economic and political climate, that's not as easy as it would have been five years ago.
'Not the time to increase taxes or fees'Mayor Alvin Brown's Strategic Initiatives Transition Committee took aim at the City's millage rate and tax structure, calling Jacksonville a "low-tax city.â€......Among its recommendations are to work with the Jacksonville Transportation Authority to reorganize transportation funding so that new projects can be financed in the wake of the Better Jacksonville Plan, which encumbered JTA's principal source of resources temporarily."JTA suggests that the half-cent sales tax revenue ($66 million) pledge to BJP roads be restored to JTA, in return for the 6-cent gas tax ($23 million) going back to the City, and JTA retaining responsibility for its 1997 bonds, which will cost about $38 million in 2011-12, and about $8 million each year thereafter until 2023,†it said.
Mayoral candidates don't all agree with JTA on gas tax extensionJacksonville mayoral candidates Mike Hogan and Alvin Brown say they would let the city's 6-cent-per-gallon gas tax die when it expires in 2016, but other candidates say they would support extending it for transportation projects.None of the candidates said they would back increasing the gas tax, which state law allows to be as high as 12 cents per gallon.The gas tax will be an issue facing the next mayor because the Jacksonville Transportation Authority plans to seek an extension. Last year, the JTA proposed extending the gas tax and increasing it to 11 cents per gallon. JTA later withdrew that request and said it would only ask for an extension.The tax steers about $30 million each year to JTA, about one-third of its operating budget. The agency says it would have to greatly scale back operations without the money.
JTA to ask council for gas tax increase and extensionThe Jacksonville Transportation Authority will ask the City Council in the next few months to extend the local 6-cent gasoline tax that is set to expire in 2016 so it will be in place for another 30 years.JTA will also ask the council to approve an additional 5-cent gas tax that should generate about $25 million a year over 30 years.If approved, every motorist who buys gas in Duval County could have an 11-cent local surcharge on a gallon of gasoline.JTA gets about $30 million a year currently from the local gas tax and says it will have to significantly scale back operations if that money dries up.In 1986, the City Council approved the tax for 10 years only, but later extended it for 20 more years.Council President-elect Jack Webb, a lawyer who counts JTA among his former clients, said he's inclined to support both requests - extending the tax again and raising it.
JTA urges extending gas tax for roadwork...Extending the local 6-cent-per-gallon tax that drivers pay at Jacksonville gas pump is the most viable way to cover $99 million in cost overruns for Better Jacksonville Plan roadwork, the Jacksonville Transportation Authority's chief financial officer said Tuesday.The gas tax will expire in 2016 unless the City Council votes to continue the tax.

Did You Know? Countdown to Purim (02/21)Sunday, February 21st, 2010
Did You Know?
Facts, Figures & Folklore About the Jewish Holiday of Purim
Feb 21 : 06 days till Purim
Did you know that Book of Esther retells the story of Purim, when the Jewish people were spared from a death decree by the King of Persia's evil advisor, Haman?
The Book of Esther is traditionally written upon a scroll, known as "Megillat Esther". The megillah is read twice during the holiday — once at night, and once the next morning. Purim, like all Jewish holidays, runs for approximately 25 hours, beginning at sunset.
Did you know that the expression "the whole megillah" comes from the holiday of Purim?
On Purim, the story of Esther is read from a scroll known as a megillah. The whole megillah must be read twice on Purim, once at night and once the following morning
The most festive of Jewish holidays, Purim is a time of noisemakers, costumes and tasty treats. The Festival of Purim commemorates a major victory over oppression and is recounted in the Megillah, the scroll of the story of Esther. Purim begins at sundown on Saturday the 27th of February.
We'll be presenting a new "Did You Know?" fun fact each day as we countdown to Purim! So stop by again tomorrow.

|Babolat Propulse 4 Women's Shoe Scores
|Arch Support
|Foot Support/Stability
|Overall Sole Durability
|Toe Durability
Babolat continues to improve upon their all-surface, high performing women's shoe with the Propulse 4. This comfortable, snug fitting shoe features an optimal tread pattern with a Michelin rubber outsole backed by a six-month durability guarantee. Our playtesters found the durability and traction of this shoe to be outstanding, though they all agreed that these shoes required a break-in period and lacked in breathability. It is also worth noting that the color "Diva Pink" is bold red in color rather than pink. After playing in these shoes for many hours one thing was clear to our playtesters, the Babolat Propulse 4 is a definite improvement over the Propulse 3.
It took a few hours for all of our playtesters to break-in their Babolat Propulse 4s. After overcoming the initial break-in period with these shoes, our playtesters found them to be quite comfortable. Michelle found herself quickly falling for this updated Propulse, saying, "I loved these shoes after I broke them in. They are one of my favorite playtest shoes, though I did need a few hours to feel comfortable in them (for anyone buying these shoes; give them a couple of hitting sessions to break-in). After the break-in period they fit really well and molded to my feet. They provide great all around comfort. I wouldn't say they are overly plush or padded, but there's just enough cushioning in all the right areas for a high performance tennis shoe. I never had any issues with rubbing or poking, and I felt like my feet were secure when moving around."
Carol felt the narrow fit was a little too snug. She offered, "The ortholite insole added extra foam cushioning for my foot. I never experienced any real shock to my feet and felt like there was added cushioning in the high stress and wear areas. I did feel a little too snug in this shoe, especially around the arch."
Having playtested the previous version of this shoe, Brittany enjoyed this updated Propulse from Babolat. She said, "I thought the upper was much softer and there was added cushioning throughout the shoe. Babolat removed the heel strap that was on the previous version, which made it more comfortable, as it was not pinching my heel or causing blisters. My one negative would be that there was some uncomfortable pressure on the side and under my left pinky toe that did not go away for the entire playtest."
Karly was on the same page as Brittany when it came to this updated shoe. Having also playtested the previous version, she agreed these shoes were stiffer than most shoes and required a bit of a break-in period. She stated, "The comfort improved so much from the previous version. Breaking-in these shoes took less than half the time of the 3s, and after about 4 hours the shoes started to loosen up. They were still somewhat stiff, but they weren't uncomfortable. There was plenty of padding within the shoes, it just wasn't extremely cushiony or pillow-like."
Our playtest team was in agreement that the Babolat Propulse 4 lacked in the area of ventilation. Ventilation isn't something that usually bothers Karly too much, but that wasn't the case with the Propulse 4s. "They were a very warm pair of shoes that left my feet feeling overheated while playing on court. I was happy to take the shoes off immediately after hitting to let my feet dry and cool."
With the weather getting warmer, ventilation is becoming more of an issue for Brittany, and she commented, "While there is some mesh on the upper, the tongue was very thick and cushioned, and I didn't think these shoe breathed as well as I would have liked. I definitely noticed my feet getting hot as I played. These were one of those shoes that I took off as soon as possible after playing tennis."
Michelle doesn't find ventilation to be a deal breaker for her, but she did agree that this shoe was lacking in breathability. "I wouldn't say the ventilation of this shoe was its strong suit. I don't really mind that issue though. It wasn't something that ever bothered me."
Carol said, "I did feel very hot in this shoe at times. I think breathability was sacrificed for the extra cushioning and shock absorption features. If I hit for a long time, I couldn't wait to get these shoes off."
The arch support in this shoe seemed to work well for all four of our playtester's feet. Carol said, "The arch support was adequate for me, more mid range, which I like."
Agreeing with her was Michelle, who chimed in, "The arch was just right for my higher arched foot. I enjoyed how snug my feet felt in this shoe. The arch wasn't too high or too low, but was supportive enough for my feet."
"No issues here when it came to arch support," said Karly. "I don't usually have any problems with my arches and it was no different with this shoe."
Brittany echoed these thoughts, adding, "Like most shoes, I had no problems with the arch support. I could feel the support but it wasn't uncomfortable or bothersome. It was the perfect height and placement for a medium arch like mine."
Stability and support are a strong feature for this Propulse 4. The Velcro strap on top of the shoe provides added support. Brittany was very impressed with the support this shoe offered on the court. "I will first say that I liked the strap on the upper. I felt like it gave a more customized fit, especially because my feet are on the narrow side. I don't think Babolat removing the heel strap impacted the support at all. My foot felt very secure in this shoe and did not more around at all. The ankle collar definitely comes up higher than normal on the ankle so my ankle felt very secure. My one small knock was that the shoe felt a little high off the ground, which diminished the ankle support slightly."
"My foot was very snug in this shoe and didn't move around at all," said Carol. "I felt confident in the support level of this shoe for all movements around the court. It provided great stability."
Karly had a similar experience as Brittany, saying, "I thought the shoe did an excellent job supporting my feet. I never hesitated when moving due to a lack of stability. The newer Propulses may have lost that tight, secure feel of the Propulse 3, but I still thought they excelled in stability."
"Once I broke them in I found them to be really stable and supportive," said Michelle. "I will say that my initial 3 hours in these shoes were a little shaky. While breaking them in I was feeling a little unstable and out of my element. Once I got used to them there were no issues with movement or comfort. I always felt like my ankles were secure and I was never worried about rolling my ankle."
Another strength of the Propulse 4 is how much wear you will get out of the sole. "If you ask me, it was a great decision on Babolat's part to pair up with Michelin to make the outsole for this shoe," commented Karly. "The sole durability was exceptional. I have yet to experience any wear or smoothing to the outsole after about 15 hours of play, and that extra six-month guarantee provides great peace of mind!"
Quick moving Carol found the outsole to be extremely durable, saying, "I'm finding little wear and tear on this shoe. Compared to other shoes I've tested this season, I would call this one the most durable."
Michelle spent extra time in this shoe and really tested the limits of the sole. She said, "I did begin to see wear in the toe area of my sole, where I normally wear out my shoes, but nothing extreme. Because I enjoyed wearing these shoes so much I put some good time in them and expected to see some major wear after 20 hours. There is a six-month durability guarantee with these shoes, so even if you can wear through these soles in six months you are in a good position and have a new pair of shoes coming to you!"
Sole durability was Brittany's favorite feature of this shoe. She offered, "I put fifteen plus hours on this shoe and there is pretty much zero wear on any part of the outsole. I would definitely put this on my top five most durable shoes list. The best part is that there is a six-month outsole durability guarantee for extra reassurance."
"As a toe dragger, having a solid toe bumper really makes the difference in the durability of the upper of my shoes," said Brittany. "The Propulse 4's toe durability was great. The toe bumper protected the shoe from all of my dragging. I really liked the thickness of the bumper, which was not too thick and not too thin. I have many more hours of toe dragging to go before any sort of wear will show up."
Karly agreed, adding, "Like the overall sole durability, the durability of the toe area performed well. I wasn't worried the least bit about wearing through the front of the shoe. The toe bumper coverage was great and the material was tough. There's not much more you could ask for!"
Traction was another strong point of this shoe for our team of playtesters. "All of my movement around the court was supported by the high traction level of this shoe," mentioned Carol. "I didn't feel as if I was sticking to the court or sliding around. I believe the Michelin OCS2 technology was a great feature. I was gliding around the court really well."
"The traction on this shoe was solid for me," said Michelle. "I felt like it was really easy to change direction without worrying about the shoe giving on the court. I liked the grip that the shoes provided, which made it easy to move confidently in them."
Brittany benefited from the new Side 2 Side midsole technology. "I felt very connected to the court. The thing I liked most about the traction was that there was a perfect amount of stick. The sole wasn't so sticky that I felt stuck and not so slick that I was slipping. It had just the right amount of grab."
Karly was pleased with the traction the Propulse 4s provided throughout the playtest. "I hardly noticed any change or loss of traction while testing these shoes. They provided the perfect amount of grip to prevent any slipping without making me feel like I was sticking to the ground."
Coming in at just under 13 ounces, these aren't the lightest, nor the heaviest, shoes we have playtested. They are built to be durable, which usually translates into a heavier shoe. Michelle agreed that these shoes were a bit heavier, but added, "I don't mind, as I enjoyed the performance of this shoe. Plus, I'm sure the addition of the Velcro strap adds a bit of weight, but it ensures a great fit. The weight doesn't bother me at all, and they play pretty fast despite what the scale says, in my opinion."
"These may not be the lightest shoes around, but considering how durable and stable they were, I didn't mind their weight," Karly commented. "I didn't feel weighed down at all. I was still able to make fairly quick movements, and if I wasn't able to get to a ball I never thought it was because the shoes were too heavy. If anything, they just felt a little bit on the bulky side."
The weight was great for Carol, considering the extra durability and cushioning they provided. She found the Propulse 4 to be, "a fast playing shoe that doesn't wear you down."
Brittany found this shoe to be a little heavy for her taste, saying, "They felt slightly clunky when moving around the court, and I needed extra time to get used to the weight. as I have been wearing shoes between 10-11.5 ounces. However, sometimes you have to sacrifice weight to get better durability and stability, which is the case with this shoe."
Brittany - "I loved the support, stability, and traction this shoe offered."
Karly - "The toughness of the outsole. The entire thing was one durable sole that was hard to wear through."
Michelle - "I'm a big fan of Babolat and I love the cosmetics of this shoe; red and black are my colors! I really loved how these shoes molded to my feet once I had worn them in. I enjoy feeling my shoes hug my feet without being too tight or having to tie my shoes super tight, so the fit on these really made the shoes work for me. These have quickly become one of my favorite shoes to play in. Love them!"
Carol - "I really liked the cushioning and shock absorption this shoe provided. These are probably my favorite two qualities, but it is also lightweight with great traction and durability. It's a fast playing shoe and I felt that I moved exceptionally well on the court."
Brittany - "I felt this shoe was a little on the heavier side and a little high off the ground."
Karly - "The lack of ventilation. It took no time at all for me to want to change into a different pair after a hit."
Michelle - "They felt bulky during the first couple of hours that I played in them."
Carol - "I think it felt a little snug, especially around the arch. I also felt a little higher off the ground in this shoe than normal. Breathability was definitely an aspect I didn't like as when I was done hitting I couldn't wait to get this shoe off."
Brittany - "The Propulse 4 was a definite improvement from the previous version. The upper was softer, which resulted in a shorter break-in period, as the shoe did not pinch my heel like the previous version. Nevertheless, the durability, stability and traction were on par (and very good) with the previous version."
Karly - "Comparing them to the previous version, the Propulse 3s, I thought the biggest difference was the comfort. They reduced the break-in period drastically with the 4s, and that they didn't feel nearly as stiff. This newer version is a much more comfortable pair of shoes to wear."
Michelle - "I would say weight-wise, they are in the same category as the Asic Gel Resolution 5s. I give a slight edge to the Propulse 4, as I prefer the fit and cosmetics. We also just playtested the Wilson Rush Pros, which were in the same weight category as this shoe, and I would say the Propulse 4s don't have the same pillow-like cushioning as the Wilson Rush Pros, but they don't lack in cushioning, either."
Carol - "This is one of the best cushioned shoes I've playtested. Durability ranks up there as well, and I understand why they put the warranty on this shoe � it doesn't wear out. It's the fastest playing shoe I have playtested, which was a lot of fun. I think I'd still prefer the Asics Gel Resolution 5 to this shoe, even though they feel a little heavier, because the fit of the Asics was better suited to my feet."
Playtester Foot Types:
Brittany - Narrow width, Medium arch
Karly - Medium width, Medium-low arch
Michelle - Medium width, High arch
Carol - Medium width, Medium arch

Erick I need help with this topic for a paper in my class.
The use of capital punishment is an on going debate for many in our country. Recently in Roper v Simmons (2005), the Supreme Court struck down state statutes that allowed for the execution of 16 and 17 year olds and mandated that only people 18 and above may be eligible for the death penalty. The Court discusses, as it has in the past, evolving standards of decency and how our society (as well as many others, especially those in the European Union) has evolved to a point where the death penalty for juveniles in not acceptable. Given this notion of standards of decency, how ethical is the death penalty in a global context if other forms of punishment, like life without parole, are available?
Looking forward to your respond.
Have a great weekend! Keep in touch!

Albany High School and UAlbany Students Team Up in New Ways to Learn
ALBANY, N.Y. (October 9, 2012) – Marguerite Vanden Wyngaard, Ph.D., Superintendent of the City School District of Albany, and University at Albany President George M. Philip kicked off October is Community Service Month at UAlbany on Friday, October 5, in the Campus Center Ballroom. "UACT--UAlbany-Community Together" is the theme of the month-long event.
"UAlbany began this month-long spotlight last year to build on the meaningful community-engaged work our students, faculty and staff do throughout the entire year. With a fall focus on engagement, we can tap into the excitement so many of our students feel about making a difference in the lives of others," said President Philip.

Friday's launch featured joint performances by UAlbany and Albany High School students in a cappella singing, dancing and stepping. UAlbany students also led workshops on a range of topics, including entrepreneurship, mock debating, and DNA extraction.
The activities further the Student-to-Student Initiative UAlbany launched in October 2011 with Albany High School and UAlbany's undergraduate Student Association (SA), along with the Graduate Student Organization (GSO). The initiative is designed to enhance student engagement both at Albany High and UAlbany, extending opportunities for learning and gaining new experiences together.
The idea for the Student-to-Student Initiative grew out of conversations over a year ago with Mayor Gerald Jennings and then-Superintendent Raymond Colucciello, Ed.D. Leaders from the SA, GSO, President's Office, School of Education and the Division of Student Success met with them to discuss ways to build on existing partnerships.
"This kind of partnership is critical to the success of our schools," said Dr. Vanden Wyngaard, who began her tenure as superintendent of Albany's public schools on September 24. "Student learning and development greatly benefit from the exciting exchange of our young people along the education pipeline. The district is pleased to have UAlbany as a long-standing partner."
"There is so much we can bring to this relationship," said Arthur Rushforth, UAlbany Student Association President. "The Student Association has over two hundred clubs, many of them already heavily involved in community service."
Student Workshops
Thirteen UAlbany students from the pre-law undergraduate fraternity Phi Alpha Delta, showcased "Goldilocks on Trial" in a mock debate to illustrate the judicial system. Other workshops included: Be Your Own Entrepreneur; Be a Leader—Global/Local; Leaders in a Multicultural World; Careers in Science and Engineering and the DNA extraction activity.
"The workshops offer high school students a sampling of the exciting content and experiences awaiting them when they attend college," said Thomas Devlin of the GSO.
During the 2011/12 school year, Albany High launched four new academies -- Citizenship, Discovery, Innovation and Leadership. The organization of the school into these theme-based academies offers smaller, more interpersonal learning environments to improve student outcomes for the approximately 2,300 young people attending Albany High.
In 2012 the S-2-S Initiative will expand to include academic-related content.
"The initiative fits well with Albany High School's efforts to enrich extended learning opportunities through interactions with college students who can open new doors to interests and skill development," said Albany Mayor Jerry Jennings.
UAlbany was recognized for a 2nd consecutive year on the (U.S.) President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ v2.0
After logging into the proxy server via CalNet, why do I sometimes see a window with a "Connect to Resource" button?
Usually after you have logged in, your browser is redirected straight to the resource you initially requested. However, under two different circumstances, the proxy server instead displays a window containing a "Connect to Resource" button:
- A few resources, such as the Biblioline databases, spawn a new browser window when they are invoked. This can cause problems, which we avoid by instead displaying the window with the "Connect to Resource" button.
- When authentication takes place while you're in the midst of a search operation, you may be returned to a "Connect to Resource" form if the resource sends its search parameters using the "POST" method of data transmission.
In either case, clicking on the "Connect to Resource" button will usually get you where you're going.
Why do I have trouble using my browser's "Back" button beyond the CalNet login screen for the proxy server?
Logging in with a CalNet ID and passphrase triggers a series of exchanges among two campus servers and your browser. Unfortunately, if you try to use your browser's "Back" button to go back to a page you visited before logging in, this may cause you to see a message such as this:
- Missing Data
This document resulted from a POST operation and has expired from the cache. If you wish you can repost the form data to recreate the document by pressing the reload button.
Clicking on the "Back" button repeatedly may or may not get you beyond this roadblock, depending on your browser and what pages it has visited. Whatever you do, do not click on the "Reload" button.
If you want to move back to a page you viewed before logging in, a better solution is to use the tool provided in your browser for displaying a pop-up menu of pages you have visited. This can usually be done by clicking on the "Back" button and holding the mouse button down, or clicking on a small down-arrow or "Go" pulldown next to the "Back" button. The browser's "History" function may also be useful.
Why do I have to configure my browser to accept cookies?
Sending cookies to your browser is how the proxy identifies you as an authenticated user who should have access to licensed resources.
What is the proxy server?
The proxy server allows us to provide off-campus access to article databases and other licensed electronic resources to authorized UC Berkeley users, while ensuring we don't provide them to unauthorized users, as required by the terms of our license agreements.
To do this, the proxy server acts as an intermediary between your computer and the Library's licensed electronic resources by virtually providing your machine with a UC Berkeley IP address, as if you were on campus. It is active only when you are accessing these resources.
How do I access library resources from off campus?
Anyone may access the library catalogs and most of the Library's web pages from any Internet-connected computer.
Some licensed electronic resources, such as e-books, journal article databases, and online reference tools, are commercial products with access restrictions. UC Berkeley students, faculty and staff members, and some other individuals affiliated with the University, can connect to these resources from off campus using the Library proxy service or VPN.
For more information and setup instructions, see connect from Off Campus.
Why would a licensed resource lose all of its page formatting?
Browsers configured to use the proxy server must have third party cookies enabled to ensure that images and stylesheets called by the licensed resource are available via the proxy server. Loss of page formatting is an excellent clue that you do not have third party cookies enabled in your browser.
How can I change my email address in my OskiCat account?
UCB faculty, staff and students:
Update your entry in the CalNet Directory, in two places:
- Edit Person Information
- Edit Address Information
IMPORTANT: Do not update your information through My OskiCat; this information will be overwritten by updates to the CalNet Directory.
Library cardholders: update your email address via My OskiCat.
I'm having problems with library research for a class. Where can I get help?
The guides and tutorials page is a great place to start.
Looking for individual guidance? Our information experts provide research help via email, 24/7 chat, telephone, and in person.
Want to go into more depth? Cal undergrads can sign up online for a free 30-minute Research Advisory Service appointment.
How do I cite an eBook in my paper?
Electronic books come in a variety of forms. Some are accessed through our catalogs and databases and read over the Internet on a computer screen. Others can be downloaded to a computer and in some cases to mobile devices.
As the technologies of eBooks are evolving, so are the formats for citing them in footnotes and bibliographies. Here are guides to citing eBooks in the three most common styles:
- APA (American Psychological Association) - see the section on "Electronic Books"
- MLA (Modern Language Association) - see the section on "Basic Style for Citations of Electronic Sources"
- Chicago - see the section on "Electronic Books and Books Consulted Online"
For more information, see:
- E-Books' Varied Formats Make Citations a Mess for Scholars (Chronicle of Higher Education)
- Find books and eBooks
- Cite sources
Thanks to Purdue University for permission to use their citation guides.
Can I get New York Times articles through the library?
In April 2011, the New York Times implemented a "paywall" on its website, nytimes.com. Under this policy [full details here], users can view a maximum of 20 articles per month without charge, but need to purchase a "digital subscription" to go beyond that limit.
Discounted individual subscription rates are available to students, faculty, and staff with email addresses ending in ".edu".
Beyond that, UC Berkeley is not able to provide special campuswide access to the nytimes.com website. However, we do subscribe to several databases that include full text articles from the New York Times along with many other newspapers. For links to these, see our News Databases.
These are available to anyone using our public computers. UC Berkeley students, faculty and staff members can also connect from off campus.
For those wishing to read the Times on paper, the Morrison Library and the Newspapers & Microforms Library both have current issues.

I wouldn't say Sotnikova's OGM made me angriest, since I'm not as emotionally invested in competition results as I once was (I was 15 years old and an uber-fan of Kwan in '98...nuff said). But it did make me the most disgusted and disillusioned.
I've been unhappy with results before like any other fan. But for the most part even when I didn't like or agree with the results, I could imagine where the judges were coming from (Tara's win in '98), or at least feel confident that even though the system was flawed, it's flaws were more or less consistent and applied equally for everyone (for example, the way PCS marks seem to be "married" to each other, so that high skating skills and transitions automatically means similar scores for P&E and interpretation, even if the program is rather dull). But I don't see either of these things this time. Honestly, I'm quite put off of skating right now.
I would have said the ladies results here, but I wouldnt be being honest as after the short program and judging panel draw when it was clear Sotnikova's win had already been bought for millions of dollars, I had bet a large amount of money on her winning. So I grudingly had to hope my certainty of the bought gold medal would pan out correct for that reason. Had I not bet alot of money on Sotnikova's obviously fixed win just before the long program starting I would have said that, but alas not for that reason. It feels odd to cheer for evil and wrong, so I dont think I will do that in the future, despite the large sum of money I won from it.
So with that said I would say Slutskaya's win at the 2001 Grand Prix final with 3 triples to 6 for Kwan, the bloc judging in the dance event that robbed Bourne & Kraatz of a medal in 98, and Fusar Poli & Margalio's farcial World title in 2001.
Oh I forgot Chan's wins at Skate Canada 2010, near win at 2010 Trophee Lalique I think it was with the equivalent of 7 falls worth of mistakes vs a clean Verner, his win at the 2011 Grand Prix final, 2012 Worlds, and 2013 Worlds. That must be a record of competitions for one skater which were so blatantly wrong they made my blood boil. I actually used to like Chan before the judging farces began, the same way I somewhat liked Sotnikova before the corruption of the last few days.

Special Opportunities
We want you to reach a little higher.
Yes, our programs are rigorous. Yes, our faculty is knowledgeable and supportive. But to really get the most out of everything UDM offers, you need to learn and explore outside the classroom as well. We offer several specialized programs designed to help you do just that.
- UDM's Cooperative Education Program places approximately 350 undergraduate students each year in career-related positions at businesses and institutions across the country. Not only will you get fantastic professional experience, you also earn a salary.
- The Academic Exploration Program is designed to help you chose a major and fit your education to your needs and interests. Working one-on-one with an advisor, you can choose courses from a variety of disciplines as you find—or create—your own niche. And you'll have plenty of company—almost half of UDM's incoming freshmen participate in AEP (and they have some of our best test scores).
- Our Five-year Programs accelerate your progress, allowing you to earn both a bachelor's and a master's degree in a growing field, such as Physician Assistant or Cyber Security. And through our 7-year program, you can fast-track your acceptance to dental school and emerge, job-ready.
- The Honors Program brings together top students from every academic discipline to learn from one another. Each term there are new courses and seminars to take, new projects to tackle, and new goals to pursue as you earn credit for directed reading, independent research, and service learning opportunities.
- Nothing sharpens your understanding of the world like Study Abroad. And given the global nature of just about everything these days, experience living and working with people from other cultures can really pay off. Our Study Abroad programs can take you to Australia, China, England, Greece, Italy, Mexico, and Poland.
- The co-curricular Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) is designed to educate, engage, and empower all UDM students. Using the "Social Change Model," the ELP offers you the opportunity to explore your leadership potential and abilities through involvement in programs, events, and activities that include learning, leadership, spirituality, and service, on and off campus. All UDM students have the chance to experience and live the UDM Mission. As you do so, you will be involved in community engagement and learn to exhibit leadership for the common good. Those students who choose to intentionally develop their leadership capacity will be recognized for their achievements by earning a Leadership Pin and Medallion.
- Many of the courses at UDM have service as an integral part of the course. We have come to call these courses with a service component, "Service-Learning". Sometimes the service element is introduced as a way for the students to apply the knowledge they are learning in the course. At other times it provides a personal experience that sheds light on other things they are learning. At all times it provides an opportunity to learn as well as serve, and it allows students to take a more active role in the mission of UDM.

Defence Matters
The Defence Matters campaign has now closed
Defence Matters was sponsored by the Defence Industries Council (DIC) which is the senior trade body for the defence sector in the UK.
Defence Matters aimed to raise awareness and understanding of the work being undertaken by industry to support the UK armed forces and its wider contribution to the nation and economy.
Today's globalised defence market sees defence and other industries competing for skilled employees, and with defence companies based in other countries for work. As the commitments the UK's Armed Forces face at home and overseas evolve, the UK defence industry has to ensure that we are in the best possible position to support their work.
Defence Matters was created to give you a better understanding of the work of the UK defence industry.

Virgin Blue Announces $124.3m Half Year Profit, 80.9% Improvement, Boeing 777s For International, More Domestic Jets And Profit Share Plan For âOur Teamâ20/02/2007
Virgin Blue Holdings Limited today announced a net profit after tax of $124.3 million for the half-year ended 31 December, 2006, up 80.9% on the prior period. Earnings per Share increased 80.3% to 11.9 cents. The full year 2006/7 forecast is now expected to be in excess of 60% higher than the previous corresponding result of $112 million.
"This is a great result and a fantastic performance by our Virgin Blue Team. It puts us in a sound position as we enter our next expansion phase," said Virgin Blue Chief Executive Brett Godfrey.
"It's a result achieved through continued focus on our low cost model, superior operational efficiencies and product advancements that have been well received by our Guests. It underlines the strength and resilience of our New World Carrier strategy introduced some 18 months ago," he said.
During the period under review Virgin Blue completed major upgrades of airport lounges at Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide and continued the installation of its live2air in-flight entertainment product.
These developments combined with an increasing uptake of new Corporate Traveller fares, Velocity frequent flyer programme, Self Check kiosks and Web Check continue to increase the airline's appeal to the business traveller market, contributing to a 16.7% improvement in revenue on a 3.4% increase in production.
The summary financial results for the first half of the year are as follows:

During the period, Virgin Blue extended its leadership in On Time Performance and has now been Australia's most punctual airline for over two years, having beaten Qantas Group* every month in the period since late 2004.
Total revenue increased by 16.7% to $1.12 billion, with yield increasing by 9.3 % to 11.68 cents. Revenue Passenger Kilometres (RPKs) were 9.03 billion up 6.4% from the prior half year. Load factor improved to 82.2%, up 2.3 points for the same period in 2005.
Scheduled revenue per available seat kilometre (RASK) which measures ticket price and passenger load movements (quality of the revenue stream) increased to 9.60 cents per ASK, an improvement of 12.3%.
Total operating costs were $935 million, up by 9.1% on the prior period reflecting the increase in production and the ever present challenge of escalating fuel prices.
During the period the average price paid for jet fuel increased by 15.8% to over US$83 per barrel, pushing the total fuel bill for the period to $262 million. On a production adjusted basis fuel cost $29m more in this period than the corresponding six months. Cost per available seat kilometre (CASK) increased by 5.5% which included a $9 million write off related to the development of a new reservations system. Excluding fuel and this one off cost provision, CASK remained flat on the corresponding prior period at 6.04 cents.
Balance Sheet and cash flow
Capital expenditure for the period was $169 million, which included the purchase of three new Boeing 737-800 aircraft. Average days operating cash reserves improved from 124 to 136 as at 31 December 2006, as available cash balances increased $145 million to $543 million.
The Company has announced an Interim Dividend of 2 cents per share fully franked payable to all shareholders recorded on the register at 5.00pm (AEST) on 1 March, 2007. Payment will be made on 20 March, 2007. The Directors have resolved to pay dividends in future consistent with the capital requirements and expansion plans of the business.
* Including Qantas Domestic, Jetstar and QantasLink according to Department of Transport and Regional Services figures.
Revised Forecast
The Company now estimates that its reported profit after tax for the full year 2006/07 will be in excess of 60% higher than the previous corresponding period result of $112 million. The revised forecast reflects Virgin Blue's increasing penetration of business traveller and Government markets, uptake of new products and services and the airline's new fuel hedging position with 95% of fuel requirements capped at US$70bbl WTI for the remainder of the 06/07 fiscal year.
Domestic Fleet
The Company today announced additional aircraft for its domestic fleet. In addition to its firm orders for three Embraer E-170 and eleven Embraer E-190 aircraft, Virgin Blue has this morning exercised options for a further six aircraft, being three Embraer E-190 and three Embraer E-170 aircraft for delivery in 2008/9.
The Company also advises it has placed firm orders with Boeing Corporation for five 737-800's for delivery in 2010/11 as replacement capacity and the Board has approved the acquisition of an additional three leased 737- 800's to enter service in Q3 and Q4 of this calendar year. The Company will also retain for a further 12 months, two leased Boeing 737 aircraft due for return in 2007.
Both the Embraer and Boeing 737 aircraft will be fitted with adaptable configurations to allow maximum flexibility from single class to a high density seating. Virgin Blue's new Boeing 737-800 aircraft will be typically configured with a one class 177-180 seat layout, with ability to increase seat capacity by over 5% up to a 189 seat configuration and deploy these aircraft on price sensitive or leisure routes.
International Long Haul Airline
Virgin Blue also confirms it has now commenced exclusive negotiations with Boeing Corporation to acquire seven Boeing 777-300ER aircraft at a total list price of USD$2.6billion and options for a further six aircraft. Subject to successful completion of the remaining contractual negotiations, long haul operations will be launched during the second half of 2008.
Profit Share Plan for Staff
Finally, in recognition of the contribution of the Virgin Blue team to the Company's results, management has secured Board approval for introduction of a profit share plan to come into effect in the current 2006/7 year.
The programme will take into account required annual shareholder returns and will be based on Board approved annual targets. It will apply to Virgin Blue staff excluding Management in existing company sponsored plans.
"I am personally delighted to have gained Board approval for this initiative which has been in development for some time," said Chief Executive, Brett Godfrey.
"We have an outstanding team who have a record of high achievement. It is absolutely appropriate to ensure their efforts are rewarded in line with company performance."

The Coming Crash in Legal Education: How We Got Here, and Where We Go Now
Richard W. Bourne
University of Baltimore School of Law
Creighton Law Review, Vol. 45, No. 4, 2012
University of Baltimore School of Law Legal Studies Research Paper No. 2012-4
This paper will first track the ways in which the legal services market has grown and changed over the past forty years. It will then track the major changes that have attended legal education during the same period and the increasing dependence of the legal education industry on student debt. The paper will then explore why, at long last, the boom-times may have run their course and why, at some point, painful changes will likely occur. Though they cannot be described in detail, the author will attempt to outline the likely nature of the changes that will occur. Finally, the paper will briefly explore how the predicted reckoning may yet lead to an improvement in the marketing of legal services and an enhanced role for law schools in preparing new attorneys for the new bar they will be joining.

Section 1. Overview
- Each team consists of 6-8 players. A team must have 6 players to begin competition. Final team enrollment numbers will be determined during the Registration Dates for the program
- The field is a combination of a soccer field and a football field that measures 60 yards long, and 30 yards wide.
- The game will be played with a soccerball provided by the RECSports staff
- Unlimited substitutions are permitted. Players entering and leaving the game must be done so at the halfway line. Subs can be done during gameplay or at stoppage times/deadballs
- The goals will be of regulation soccer size, and are placed at the end line of each end zone
- A game will consist of two 12 minute halves with a 2 minute halftime. (Times are subject to change depending on team enrollment on gameday.)
- Players are allowed to wear shinguards
Section 2. Scoring
- Touchdown = 1 point, scored by a pass or kick lifted into the air by a player that is caught in the air by another teammate
- Throw on Goal = 2 points, scored by a throw into the soccer goal (must be an air ball, and it can't bounce in)
- Kick on Goal = 3 points, a successful kick into the soccer goal
Section 3. Gameplay
The object of Speedball is for the team in possession of the ball to advance the ball down field toward their goal line and score. The opponents try to intercept and obtain possession of the ball in order to move toward their goal line and score. In general, the soccer rules apply when the ball is on the ground; ultimate frisbee and football rules apply when playing the ball in the air. Any time an aerial pass is incomplete or knocked down inbounds, play continues as a grounded ball.
Section 4. Speedball Terms
When the ball is in play, it is referred to as a ground ball "on the ground" or an aerial ball " in the air"
- Groundball: A ball that has contacted the ground, whether it is stationary, rolling, or bouncing. The ball remains a ground ball even though it may bounce into the air, until it is lifted into the air by a lift or a direct kick. Direct kicks can be caught by teammates.
- Aerial Ball: An aerial ball is any ball that has been lifted into the air from a direct kick. An aerial ball that has been caught maybe passed from one player to another through throwing or competing a successful header. Once a player catches an aerial ball they will only be allowed steps to catch their momentum. Once stopped, a player will have a maximum of 10 seconds to pass, drop, or punt the ball. The ball remains an aerial ball until it makes contact with the ground again.
The only time a player may advance the ball on their own as a player is through soccer dribbling.
Section 5. Rules
- Kickoff Procedure
- A coin toss before the beginning of the game will determine which team kicks off and which has the choice of ends. The team which defends the opening kickoff will kick off to start the second half
- A kickoff is used to start each half and to restart the game after a successful score
- Prior to the kickoff, players on each team must take a position within their own endzone. Players are free to move anywhere within their endzone, but may not cross the goal line until the ball is kicked. Much like Ultimate Frisbee. The same rules apply after points are scored.
- Out of Bounds: Out of bounds will be treated the same as soccer rules.
- There is no slide tackling
- If the game is tied during the end of regulation a five minute golden goal period will occur.

Skip to comments.Austria 10 Richard the Lionheart Silver Coins Issued [Redhead Caucus]
Posted on 02/22/2011 5:27:33 PM PST by WPaCon
The Austrian Mint in Vienna is issuing the second coin in its 10 silver commemorative series "Tales and Legends in Austria". The theme of the new coin is the captivity of the English king, Richard I, on his homeward journey from the Third Crusade in 1192 and the legend of his loyal friend and troubadour who is said to have discovered in which castle the king was being held.
Austria 10 Richard the Lionheart Silver Coin
The first part of the story is indeed history. Richard, called the "Lionhearted" even in his lifetime, mortally offended Duke Leopold V of Austria and the German knights in the crusader army by having the dukes banner torn down from the walls of the captured city of Acre and letting it be trampled in the dust.
Thereupon the duke and the German contingent broke off from the army and returned angrily to Europe. They were soon followed by the French king, who was ill and worried about his home territories, and who didnt get along with Richard either. When it came time for Richard to return home, he knew Europe to be seething with his enemies. He travelled incognito, disguised as a pilgrim, and with only a handful of followers.
Wrecked in the Adriatic Sea, Richard the Lionheart found himself constrained to cross the territories of the Austrian duke. In Erdberg (at that time just outside Vienna) he was recognised and seized. The legend says that he was betrayed by paying with some Byzantine gold coins from Constantinople and that he had tried to escape detection by posing as a kitchen boy in the local inn, slowly roasting a chicken on a spit.
Duke Leopold imprisoned Richard in the castle of Dürnstein on the River Danube while he negotiated with the Holy Roman Emperor, Henry VI, over the terms of the surrender of his royal captive and the sum of the kings ransom which they would jointly demand.
We now enter the realm of myth and legend. King Richard had disappeared on leaving the Holy Land and it is more than likely that his subjects did not know of his exact location until well after his capture outside Vienna. His boon-companion, the troubadour or minstrel Blondel, set out to find the king. Blondel travelled through southern Germany and down the Danube singing beneath the walls of each castle he encountered.
At last under the walls of Durnstein, high above the fast flowing Danube, he recognised the kings voice answering his song. Richard was alive and in Dürnstein. He charged Blondel to spread word of his captivity back to England. Some versions of the legend even maintain that Blondel sought to help him escape.
The Blondel legend may have some basis in historical fact. Certainly Richards loyal officers would have been seeking his whereabouts, until they learned of his detention by the Austrian duke and the subsequent ransom demand by the Emperor Henry VI.
Richards brother, Prince John, was not at all anxious to see Richards release, but his mother, Queen Eleanor, was determined to see the ransom of 100,000 Cologne Marks of silver (approximately 23 tons) raised. Duke Leopold was excommunicated by the pope for laying hands on a returning crusader, but with his half of the ransom he rebuilt the walls of Vienna and other towns. In 1194 he founded a mint in Vienna to strike the silver into coins. That mint was the ancestor of the present day Austrian Mint, striking coins in the city now for over 800 years! Coin Design, Specifications and Mintages
The new 10 silver coin depicts Blondel on his horse beneath a romantic castle of Dürnstein. He strums his mandolin and sings the song which Richard recognises. The legend has it that Richard had composed the piece himself. The reverse shows the seizure of Richard the Lionheart in the kitchen of the inn at Erdberg. Leopold and two soldiers apprehend him despite his disguise as a kitchen help tending a roast chicken. Beneath the pilgrims cloak he wears, can be seen the three lions of England emblazoned on his chest.
The new coin with a face value of 10 is struck in sterling silver (925 fine) to a maximum mintage of 40,000 pieces in proof quality, 30,000 pieces in special uncirculated quality and 130,000 in circulation quality issued at face value through the banks. The proof version is accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity and an attractive album for the proof series can be acquired separately. The special uncirculated coin is vacuum packed in a colourful and informative blister pack.
The series continues in April next year with a coin recounting the legend of the discovery of the iron rich area of "Eisenerz" in Styria. Type: Silver, Ag 925 Finish: Proof, Special Uncirculated, Circulation Edge: Plain Diameter: 32 mm Fine Weight: 16 g Mintage: Proof: 40,000 Spc.Unc: 30,000 Unc: 130,000 Face Value: 10 euro Designer: Thomas Pesendorfer
About the Austrian Mint
The Austrian Mint is situated in the heart of Vienna and is the official minting authority for Austria with a 800 year history.
The Mint is the source for all Austrian Euro and Cent coins, whether they are intended for shopping, as an investment or for collection. Before the Euro, the Schilling and Groschen coins were minted, and before that during the monarchy Crowns, Guilders and Ducats were struck by the Austrian Mint.
The company is located close to the centre at the Vienna Stadtpark in a Biedermeier building erected under Emperor Ferdinand I. from 1835 to 1837. Today it accommodates one of the most modern mints in the world.
Gray-haired redheads may only post if majority of hair is still red.
Woohoo! I still qualify on both counts! (Do I get a prize?)
You may become president of the caucus
Have any muslims reported being offended yet? They need to call these "Crusader Coins."
What if you think that redheads (gingers) are uber-hot?
What about bald people?
That's a close call. I still need some help deciding on the strawberry-blond issue, as well.
Being bald on your head is only a disqualifier if you do not have red hair on your face or anywhere else...
After consideration, I feel I am unqualified to post on this thread.
silver is a beautiful metal to work in... this leaves a lot to be desired.
Oh, my! Lovely coins! This is a gorgeous series.
this is a silly term for a caucus
Can Lindsey Lohan post? She once had beautiful red hair. Now she has blonde straw. (She also used to be a very talented actress. So sad.)
Yes, I'm a daywalker, by the way.
I demands a definition of red ;-P Can a person who has dyed their head red post? Can a red head who dyed their hair a different color post? ;-P
"Can Lindsey Lohan post? She once had beautiful red hair. Now she has blonde straw. (She also used to be a very talented actress. So sad.)"
"I demands a definition of red ;-P Can a person who has dyed their head red post? Can a red head who dyed their hair a different color post? ;-P"
These are some very difficult questions. I feel we may need a caucus convention to define the rules.
Can we daywalkers attend the convention, or is gingers only?
"Can we daywalkers attend the convention, or is gingers only?"
You can attend, but you might not get full voting privileges.
My hair color is what used to be called "Titian," after the painter, who seemed to prefer the color for the women in his paintings. It is a dark color, and I have brown eyes, and do not have the creamy "Irish" complexion most often associated with redheads. Alas, the gray is creeping forward apace.
Another 'red' checking in :)
Is thinking redheads are hot enough?
So why is Austria celebrating kidnapping an ally anyhow? Nice coins.
how about we have a Caucus of Caucuses — only those who say they are a caucus or belong to a caucus can join in? ;)

What if your mother was a redhead? I have tons of red highlights on chestnut and if I tried to dye my hair blonde it would turn red instead. In evening lighting I can pass for red and I have galaxies of freckles.
I have four or five red hairs in my beard. Does that count?
Who is shocked that a European country still has the stones to celebrate a Christian Crusader King?
Although the movie is Robin Hood, the most current version is actually about the events described in this post. As I watched the movie I denounced the historical revision it seemed to portray. After watching I drug out my trusty Will Durant Volume to learn the movie was pretty much dead on historically accurate.
I recommend getting and watching the movie........ it is good
I'm teetering on the edge of this requirement. Shoot, time keeps going by. By next week I may not qualify...
What was this thread about again?
The memory starts to go too...
Coin interest bump! Sorry, the hair I have left is brown.
These issues will be addressed at the redhead caucus convention. It is February 29th 2011, if you wish to participate.
I am
We may have to resort to that
You don't scare me....I married a REDHEAD!
