Heavy rain that fell the first four days of June have dropped more rain on western Kentucky than the region received the entire month of May and caused a mixed outlook for area farmers.
According to preliminary National Weather Service reports, the Paducah area received 2.89 inches of rain in May, with about 1.41 inches of that coming on May 14. Preliminary data show it has rained at least 3.49 inches in Paducah this week.
University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension horticulturists said Wednesday night's downpour will delay some soybean and late corn planting in a few area counties, but they are optimistic the planting season will soon be on track.
Trent Murdock, Graves County extension agent, said May 20 was the general deadline for corn planting. Because of the wet spring and cold weather, he said, much of the planting was late.
"It's not been a good start to the year," he said.
While Murdock said he doubts the water will kill the crops at this point, there is little farmers can do.
"You've just got to wait it out, see what happens and hope for the best," he said. "That's the one thing about farming: you can't do anything about the weather."
Rainfall has also held up wheat combining, which farmers hope to have finished before putting soybeans in the ground. For the most part, he said, soybeans in Graves County have been planted. He knows one farmer, however, who was hoping to finish harvesting wheat this week but won't be able to because of the rain.
Despite the recent inundation, Murdock isn't hoping the rain stops completely.
"At least a break in the rain," he said. "We never want to hope for no rain. Once it stops raining, it never wants to start back."
Murdock said McCracken County farmers are likely experiencing similar issues, where cornfields at higher elevations are benefiting from the wet spring, while low-lying areas are hurting for now.
In Livingston County, extension agent Adam Barnes said a lot of farmers are trying to get soybeans planted now. Wednesday night's rain set back soybean planting in the river bottoms and wetter fields a few days.
"I don't think any drastic weather has affected our planting," he said. "It slowed us a little bit."
Barnes said almost all of his area's corn is planted, and Livingston County farmers are about halfway complete with soybean planting, which he said is on track for a cold spring year. The region is seeing little growth in hay, however, which Barnes said is due to the cold and wet spring.
Tom Miller of the Ballard County extension office said fields there had not received much rain until Wednesday night and planting delays are not expected.

Children First Legislation
The Children First Act 2015 (the Act), puts elements of the Children First: National Guidance for the Protection and Welfare of Children (2011) on a statutory footing CF Act 2015. The legislation was a key Programme for Government commitment, and forms part of a suite of child protection legislation which includes the National Vetting Bureau (Children and Vulnerable Persons) Act, 2012 and the Criminal Justice (Withholding of Information on Offences against Children and Vulnerable Persons) Act 2012.
The Act provides for a number of key child protection measures, as follows:
• A requirement on organisations providing services to children to keep children safe and to produce a Child Safeguarding Statement;
• A requirement on defined categories of persons (mandated persons) to report child protection concerns over a defined threshold to the Child and Family Agency (the Agency);
• A requirement on mandated persons to assist the Agency in the assessment of a child protection risk, if so requested to do so by the Agency;
• Putting the Children First Interdepartmental Implementation Group on a statutory footing.
The Act also includes a provision to abolish the common law defence of reasonable chastisement in relation to corporal punishment.
Provisions of the Act will ensure that concerns about children will be brought to the attention of the Agency without delay and improve the quality of reports made to the Agency and the quality of follow up on concerns. The new legislation will operate in tandem with the existing Children First: National Guidance for the Protection and Welfare of Children [2011], which outlines the existing non-statutory obligations which will continue to operate administratively for all sectors of society.
Obligations on Organisations
Organisations providing services to children and young people will be required to undertake an assessment of any risks to a child while the child is availing of its services, and use this as the basis for developing a Child Safeguarding Statement. The purpose of the Statement is to identify how the organisation will manage any risks identified in the risk assessment.
The legislation makes provision for a Register of Non-compliance for those providers who fail, on request, to provide a copy of the Child Safeguarding Statement to Tusla.
Mandated Reporters
Mandated reporters are persons who, by virtue of their training, responsibilities and experience, should have an awareness of issues relating to child protection. These professionals either work with children or young people or they are in service sectors that encounter adults or families and children where there is risk of abuse and neglect. Mandated reporters will be required to report child abuse above a defined threshold which comes to their attention in the course of their professional or employment duties. They will also be required to report any direct disclosures of abuse from a child.
Obligations to assist the Child and Family Agency
Under the new legislation, mandated reporters may be required to cooperate with the Child and Family Agency, if requested, in relation to assessment by the Agency of child welfare and protection concerns arising from a mandated report.
Interdepartmental Cooperation
A significant provision in the legislation is the underpinning on a statutory basis of the Children First Interdepartmental Implementation Group. This Group, which will include a representative of all Government Departments and of Tusla, the HSE and An Garda Síochána, will be required to keep under review, the implementation of the legislation and the Children First Guidance, and to report on an annual basis to the Minister. Departments will also be required to publish Sectoral Implementation Plans.
The provisions of the legislation will only come into force when brought into effect by regulation of the Minister.
The following sections have been commenced to date:
Part 1 - Preliminary and General - Sections 1-5 (11 December 2015)
Section 1 - Short title and commencement
Section 2 - Definitions
Section 3 - Regulations
Section 4 - Service of Notices
Section 5 - Expenses
Part 3 - Reporting - Section 18 (1 May 2016)

This is your opportunity to meet with top quality employers seeking diversity in bilingual and professional candidates like you - so bring plenty of copies of your resume and dress to impress, because our employers are looking for hires!
Produced by:
On behalf of PPG Industries, I'd like to thank Neil Alvarado and his team for a fantastic job fair in Atlanta. We were impressed with the organization and with how friendly and efficient that staff was. I especially saw a lot of value in the orientation with employers and job seekers before stepping into the main area. I believe that pep talk to job seekers really gives them a sense of reality about what is about to take place and provides many helpful tips. It also helped keep a consistent and manageable flow of candidates. We were also very pleased with the diversity and quantify of candidates." – PPG Industries
I liked how the candidates were staggered to enter, great venue, great food - I would attend another" – CDG – A Boeing Company
One of the best job fairs we've attended. Classy, loved the orientation at the beginning, good flow of attendees and great spread at lunch" – California Department of Justice
I have traveled to many career fairs in the last few months and this is by far one of the most successful events for our company. The location was extremely easy to find and very accessible (great for people driving in and bringing large career exhibits). Additionally, the candidate pool was exceptional. We felt that the majority of the candidates were very well prepared and presented themselves in a very professional manner. We were extremely pleased with the overall turnout of the event and are eager participate in future events." - NuVasive
"Thank you very much for the opportunity to attend this job fair. I met with a wonderful recruiter and landed the best job in the world."
"…the NSHP career fair was very well prepared, and in fact helped me to land a job. Thank you so much for your help. You make a big difference in our Hispanic communities."
"You guys do a great job! This is the FIRST career fair I've attended and I wasn't very excited about going... You prompted me to try it out. I just talked to 3 companies about positions and ended up landing interviews with 2 of them. I have been offered and have accepted a job with one! Thanks for helping me put myself out there"
In Atlanta, on the other hand, I executed my first Latpro job fair. We met a lot of Spanish-speaking professionals and the material that we presented was right in target with our audience. We had a fabulous presence and met many candidates of high caliber.
So if you have to decide which job fair to attend, my recommendation is to go with Latpro. I will attend another Latpro in Dallas in October, so I look forward to reporting on those results and hopefully reiterating my first impression.

The South Korean car account is a crucial part of Cordiant's worldwide operation. It handles the business in more than 20 countries.
Last week, Cordiant's Bates agency lost the mediabuying part of the Hyundai account to rival British media group Aegis. Now Cordiant sources suggest it is resigned to losing the creative account as well.
A Bates executive said: 'There is some internal politics going on at Hyundai and we don't think we will keep it.'
Cordiant has issued a series of profit warnings. It is trying to renegotiate the terms of a $400 million bank loan facility and more than 1,000 staff have been laid off in the past year.
Michael Bungey, Cordiant's chief executive, said: 'Hyundai is a significant client for us across the world. But the creative account is split in the US between the factory account, which is up for review, and Hyundai dealers' accounts, which are not.
'Our work has been very successful. Hyundai now has a 2.5% share of the US car market from zero when we started.'Reuse content

Because you are issuing the diploma, you will sign it. The "Signature Line Titles" option is for the titles that are placed under the lines. On a High School Diploma, the administrator normally signs above the line, and their title is placed under the line.
We offer a variety of options, including the choice to have the lines printed without any titles beneath them.
If you are the only person signing the diploma, you may wish to write the date that you sign it on one side; this simply makes it look more balanced.
Making Changes to Your Diploma
There is no charge to make one change to the wording or signature line titles of a Personalized, Gilded or Exclusive Diploma as long as it does not change the layout. Submit your order, and then follow the directions below for a wording change. There is no charge to change the signature line titles. Changing both signature line titles is considered one change.
We have a special page for wording changes. It allows you to give us your changes in a format from which we can copy and paste. Here is how it works:
Occasionally we are asked about adding signature lines so that there are more than two. We cannot increase the number of signature lines without completely re-doing the layout of the diploma, which would incur a charge.

Stopwatch Trigger Help
Hey guys...
I'm doing a study for my university on hands-free cell phone use vs. hand-held use, while driving. I'm designing a traffic light that will light green and red. I'll be using a 3-way switch: red - off - green. When switched to red, I want a stopwatch to start. When the participant presses the brake pedal on our device, I want the stopwatch to stop. This will measure participant reaction times under different conditions (no phone, hand-held conversation, hands-free conversation).
I can create a light that works with a 3-way switch, but that's about the limit of my knowledge. Does anyone have any idea on what type of timer to integrate into this system, and how to go about start/stopping it with the switch/pedal?
Any suggestions on how to set this up would be great.
You don't want to be using a stop watch.....you need a digital timer.
They make plenty of them....here is one example
http://www.stopwatchcentral.com/ultr...akA.htm#Ultrak L10 Timing System
Unless your looking for real cheap....then you might want to look into kits...a good example is the timing kit for pinewood derby cars...

Oderus Urungus of GWAR Picks His Five Favorite Albums of the Year
Leading up to the end of the year, Revolver has asked some of our favorite artists to pick their Top Albums of 2012 and tell us why each record rules. Here, Dave Brockie a.k.a. Oderus Urungus (pictured left), vocalist of GWAR, selects his faves.
5. Cancer Bats, Dead Set on Living
"We had the pleasure of touring with these Canucks and I liked them so much that I actually got their album. Dirty stoner hatred for angry people, the Bats deliver a solid thrust."
4. The Cory Smoot Experiment, When Worlds Collide
"Cory Smoot, a.k.a. Flattus Maximus, was an incredible musician, and another metal legend we lost much too young. The final act from the man behind the mask is a dark and brooding metal masterpiece."
3. Municipal Waste, The Fatal Feast
"The Waste's Nuclear Blast debut never disappoints as the world's new Ramones (hopefully without the cancer) continue their reign of fun."
2. Lamb of God, Resolution
"Resolution is what this band has displayed over their long career in metal, and they continue deliver goods of the highest level. Best of luck, Randy!"
1. Pig Destroyer, Book Burner
"The rise of the Pig continues with this savage return to the primal. Unrelentingly fast, conceptually acute, this record is simply mind-blowing."

NY Court Rules Paterson Can Appoint Ravitch
New York, NY —
In a narrow, 4-3 decision, New York's highest court has ruled Governor Paterson has the authority to appoint Richard Ravitch as his lieutenant governor. Karen Dewitt has more.
One Pataki appointee on the Court of Appeals, Judge Susan Read, sided with three judges chosen by Democratic governors to rule in favor of Governor Paterson's decision to choose his own lieutenant governor. Siena College pollster Steve Greenberg says it's welcome news for Paterson.
"This will give him a victory to talk about, rather than another defeat to try to defend," said Greenberg.
Senate GOP leader Dean Skelos, who brought the suit, said in a statement that the court has allowed an unelected governor to chose an unelected lieutenant governor, and he said that precedent is "dangerous to democracy".
The decision was a bit of good news for Governor Paterson, coming a day after a highly-scrutinized visit from President Obama, and a weekend of reports that White House officials were urging Paterson to pull out of the 2010 governor's race.

Transport for London boss Sir Peter Hendy became one of Britain's highest paid public-sector workers last year with a package worth £650,000.
The TfL commissioner's pay was lifted by £320,000 after Boris Johnson agreed to pay the Olympic Games bonus entitlements of all chief officers in full.
Sir Peter topped a paylist of transport chiefs which included three earning in excess of £500,000 and 12 earning more than £300,000.
The full details were published today in TfL's annual report.
The chief executive of the £15 billion Crossrail project, Andrew Wolstenholme, earned a £577,000 salary boosted by a bonus of £123,000. Crossrail programme director Andy Mitchell received £552,000, of which £223,000 was paid as a bonus.
Mike Brown, managing director of Rail and Underground was paid £476,000, including a £164,000 bonus and Steve Allen, managing director of finance, was paid £451,000 boosted by a £162,000 bonus. The bonus pot totalled £2.5 million.
The London Assembly Green party criticised the payments, saying the Mayor should be trying to reduce the gulf between senior managers and the staff who run buses, trains and roads.
Some 300 TfL staff are paid at least £100,000, according to the figures.
TfL's remuneration committee deferred bonus payments for the past two years "contingent on the successful delivery of the Games".
TfL said failure of the management team to have delivered for the Games would have resulted in no bonuses for 2010/11 and 2011/12. Base salaries of TfL bosses were frozen for the fourth consecutive year.
Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson, chair of the TfL board's remuneration committee, said: "London's transport network had a record-breaking year with hugely improved reliability and tremendous support for a successful London 2012 Games under the gaze of the world... the remuneration committee decided it was right that the deferred performance awards for the two years before the Games should be paid in full."
During Olympic year the network carried 1.2 billion passengers on the Tube and more than 100 million on the DLR.Reuse content

Why does Through unpack?
Consider the following example:
dat = RandomInteger[1*^7, {5000000, 2}];
Max /@ Transpose[dat]; // AsboluteTiming
Note that the array is only unpacked to level 1, so Max is fast.
Now let's get both the Min and the Max:
Through /@ {Min, Max} /@ Transpose[dat]; // AbsoluteTiming
Now the full array is unpacked, significantly hurting performance.
Why is it necessary to unpack the array when using Through? Here it doesn't seem to be. Is it a design decision that Through unpacks, or is it an over sight? Through does not touch the function argument (it only affects the head), I don't see why it would need to unpack it.

In case you don't have time to spare, we don't suggest closing long positions at the moment.
On Dec. 24, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) issued a statement in which it warned of the risks of holding and using bitcoin and stated that it was examining the issues associated with the usage, holding and trading of VCs under the extant legal and regulatory framework of the country.
These arguments are nothing new but the idea that the RBI is explicitly cautioning bitcoin users and might come up with legal solutions in the future might have frightened bitcoin users in the country and BuySellBitco.in, one of the major trading platforms in India, suspended its main operations, saying:
Post the RBI circular, we are suspending buy and sell operations until we can outline a clearer framework with which to work. This is being done to protect the interest of our customers and in no way is a reflection of Bitcoin's true potential or price.
The news hasn't influenced the price of the currency on world markets, so it may seem that either bitcoin users are not that attentive to the RBI's warnings (maybe they would react differently to actual legal restrictions), or that the possible restrictions have already been priced in.
Either way, we'll move on to see what's been going on with bitcoin itself.
On Mt. Gox, bitcoin went up 3.0% yesterday (compared with Saturday's close), finishing the day at $785.01. At the moment of writing these words (past 5:30 a.m. EST), the currency is at $799.65, 1.9% up from yesterday's close.
The immediate trend seems to remain up and the volume today (btc 5,208.46 so far) is likely to surpass yesterday's week figure (btc 6,940.14) and get into the range of moderate volume. Overall, the most worrying factor seems to be the fact that since Dec. 21 the volume has been visibly smaller than it used to be in November and early December. Moves on small volume don't necessarily display the overall market sentiment.
While this might indicate that some of the investors are out of the market, it might also imply an opportunity as there might be capital waiting on the sidelines to join or ignite the next big move. If we look at November and December, then bitcoin has already corrected 68% of the Nov. 1 – Dec. 4 rally. Since Dec. 18, the general trend seems to be up and bitcoin is up 47.4% since that day and the bottom of $541.00.
The situation in the currency seems to have normalized, at least temporarily, with the price moves not being as wild as before. However, the suspicion that market players might be holding back at the moment implies that we might see more volatility as some of the sidelined capital will get involved once again. That's why staying tuned to what's going on in the market is important even as volatility seems to have faded.
Right now, bitcoin is trading above both the Dec. 18 close (solid red line) and the Dec. 7 close (dashed red line). A break below $700 (which coincides with the Dec. 7 close) would serve as a warning sign. A further move below $550 (which is in the proximity to the Dec. 18 close) could indicate a change in sentiment to bearish.
On the other hand, the next possibly important zone to the upside is the the $1,000-1,100 range where a considerable move up ended on Dec. 10. If the bullish sentiment prevails, the price could go into this range. Again, any significant moves can take little time to be completed since there seems to be a lot of potential buyers and sellers waiting for the trend to clarify.
Summing up, the short-term sentiment seems to be up and we don't suggest closing your long positions at the moment.
Trading position: long, stop-loss at $550. Since the volume has recently been visibly weaker, we might be close to a considerable move either to the upside or to the downside. Stay tuned for more information.

Good managers at every level understand the importance of strategic thinking
and systematic planning. Yet, studies show that half of the time
executives across every industry fail to turn their best-laid plans into visible
That's a critical breakdown. Over the last 40 years, a whopping
83 percent of corporate slowdowns were not triggered by outside forces (like
the economy) but instead were caused by internal, controllable issues that got
little or no follow-through.
In It's Not What You Say... It's What You Do – How Following
Through at Every Level Can Make or Break Your Company, bestselling business
author Laurence Haughton identifies the flawed processes that cause great ideas
and breakthrough strategies to slip through the cracks.
Then, drawing on real life examples from companies like IKEA, Level 3 Communications,
Charles Schwab, The Wall Street Journal, Time-Warner, Yellow Roadway and scores
of entrepreneurs covering every industry, Haughton explains precisely how managers
can close the gap between what their organization sets out to accomplish and
what actually gets done.
Over the last decade business has tried every quick fix and slick accounting
scheme to get a leg up on the unrelenting competition. None of it has had sufficient
staying power and some of the maneuvers have landed businesses (and more than
a few executives) in hot water. Now it's time to get back to basics and
stem the waste of resources, improve productivity, and prevent the costly mistakes

Large Retro Copper Bronze Pearls
The rich copper color in these pearls are lovely and would be quite flattering. I could see this necklace layered with a couple of gold chain necklaces.
Etsy has everything, from modern to vintage in art, jewelry, clothing etc. I can spend hours browsing the links and shops of individual designers and entrepreneurs. I receive inspiration each time I visit.
This is a really whimsical keychain. Looks like a Lucite cartoon animal with a translucent red body and black hat on it. The animal itself is 2"x 1 1/2",and the all key chain is 4 3/4" long. It is in excellent vintage condition.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by TWOTIMESRALPHI, Sep 22, 2006.
gotta love this one YouTube - The Pride of the Pistons
that was so good I could CRY!!! GREAT JOB!
Good video with the Final countdown music track : Scenes of Ben Wallace in his prime> 2002-2004, > unfortunately that Big Ben is just a memory as he will never be able to be the monster he was back then Over 2 minutes of Grant Hill as if he won something?? but nothing on the other suffering Pistons superstar/leaders like Stackhouse, Bing, or Lanier, (Dang we could use Hill now to lead our bench) I posted the video below back in the summer, but just a reminder that the Pistons could have ruled for five+ years if Joe had been able to mesh the starters of 2004-2006 with the bench of 2001-2003 Click on below YouTube - Alternatorz - Dig In
I found a website that allows you to download vidss from youtube, because there is no functionality to do that. KeepVid: Download videos from Google, Youtube, iFilm, Putfile, Metacafe, DailyMotion!
thanks for that Link! Note: The video I posted hasn't been done by me. It makes this vid special for me since I became a Pistons fan in his rookie season and mostly because of him- I was quite young back than, though and I tend to get sentimental when seeing this old stuff. This is another nice video (warning: explicit language!) YouTube - Detroit Pistons Mix There is finesse move by Sheed that shows flahes of his talent in the post, a nice in your face dunk against Shaq, the Ben block against Shaq from this year with Tay's finish or a nice pass from CB to Ham who finishes with a dunk- unfortunately the quality's not the best... And check out the ending, it's VERY FUNNY given the actual development of our roster!!! Another one, by need4sheed.com that is also very nice (also contains some explicit language by Guru and Snoop Dogg): YouTube - Detroit Pistons "Family"
The days of the Alternatorz were definately my happiest as a fan. Of course those were also the days of Micheal Curry, Clifford Robinson, and Chucky Atkins. You pretty much have to have a bench when those guys are starting. Why is Joe having such difficulty reproducing a bench? Personally, I like the talent he assembles, but the chemistry and production hasn't been very good. Of course the bench isn't really a "unit" anymore and they don't really play enough to have the same impact as the Alternatorz. Thats what happens when you have the best starting 5 in the NBA I guess. The thing is we will never know how good our bench guys really are until we see them 20minutes a game. Everyone but a few hated Carlos Arroyo when he was here, but he is a very productive player if he recieves enough minutes...11 isn't enough. Hopefully, Flip Murray, Maxiell and Delfino will get that opportunity. Those guys are definately more talented than Jones, Corliss, and Barry. Now we just need Zelly.
This is a great tribute to three of the most agile and showy of some great Pistons. I really enjoyed it. It dispelled one rumor going around that Grant could not take it to the hole. And I would have liked to see Lambs in there. There was never a Piston who was more agile or showy than he.

Thank you for that great feedback. I only stayed the night at my friends place and i returned home and haven't gone back to my friends place. I don't think the letter would be needed in any case?
I also contacted my local police department, they said charges can be pressed only if it was a dangerous situation and if I was reported missing (which I was not reported). I am a bit paranoid but it is only because my friend's family does not deserve to have charges put against them.
Under those circumstances, I agree with the police you consulted & not the caseworker - a prosecution is very unlikely.

Life after Kanye West continues to look up for Amber Rose.
Though she was dropped from Ford Models, Rose is now set to star in her own reality show about her new business, a sunglass store in Las Vegas. Rose told Vibe that it will also be "an open book of my life, my family, my businesses and it's called Behind Her Shades 'cause usually I have shades on and it's everything that's behind him that people don't know about but we'll learn."
She also has plans to write a book. Says Rose: "It's an inspirational book, a lot of people don't know about my life, but a lot of young girls can relate to the stuff that I've been through in my past."
There are also plans to launch lip-gloss, sunglasses and jewelry.

Crepe Murder Most Foul — Winner #7!
I think we can all agree that in general drive-by shootings are bad. But sometimes they accomplish a lot of good. For example, look at what Jenny Badcock of Columbus, Georgia captured by sneaking up on a house, rolling down the passenger-side window, and pressing the button on her digital camera. Another startlingly ugly, award-winning entry in Grumpy's Second Annual Crepe Murder Contest!
Needless to say, there are all sorts of unsavory images that come to mind when beholding this monstrosity, but since Grumpy works for Southern Living (the pinnacle of savoriness), you'll have to conjure them by yourselves.
Grumpy has seen lots of crepe murder, but never anything quite like this. So many conscious, intentional, and moronic actions had to go into creating it. First, they took a crepe myrtle trained into a single-trunk tree and chopped it off 4 feet from the ground. Why? To make a hitching post for Trigger? To make directions easy for party invitations? ("Take a left onto Main Street and then look for the stump that looks like a light pole with bark. You can't miss it."
No, you can't.
Then, of course, they just kept cutting it off at the same point every year, until it now looks like — well, you know what it looks like.
Can This Plant Be Saved?
There are two way a crepe myrtle butchered this badly can be restored. First, cut off the knob on the top. Select about 5 well-spaced shoots that will grow from it to come new main limbs and cut off the others. Second, cut the poor thing off at the ground. Let 4-5 well-spaced shoots grow up to become new trunks and cut off all the rest.
What's Crepe Murder?
For the uninitiated, crepe murder refers to the odious practice of using chainsaws and loppers to reduce beautiful crepe myrtles to hideous stumps every spring. Not only does this ruin their sculptural form, but it also prevents them from developing that wonderfully mottled, smooth, flaky bark so welcome in the winter landscape. Moreover, the long, whiplike branches that grow from the stumps are too weak to hold up the flowers.
Prizes! Prizes!
Like every winner, Jenny will receive a lavender 'Early Bird' crepe myrtle from our Southern Living Plant Collection. This crepe myrtle grows only 8 feet tall and never needs pruning. Come back tomorrow to see our next winner. The artistry will amaze you.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Paced by victories in four relays, the No. 13-ranked Tennessee women's swimming and diving team stormed to the lead on Friday at Councilman-Billingsley Aquatic Center during the first day of quad-meet competition with No. 11 Indiana, No. 19 Michigan and Illinois.
The Lady Vols won the 200y free, 200y medley, 400y medley and 800y free relays, and lead the host Hoosiers by almost 100 points, 1023.5 to 925.5, with Saturday's morning session still to follow. The Wolverines are in third with 579 points, while the Fighting Illini sit fourth with 111.
"This was our first meet where we started with the intensity I know we're capable of generating," Lady Vol head swimming coach Matt Kredich said. "We started out great in the 200y free relay and throughout the whole first session we swam great. We stayed focused and didn't show any signs of rust from our time off. As the meet wore on we continued to have great performances. Our freshmen are learning what it's like to have a lot swims in one day and our upperclassmen are serving as great role models."
Sophomore Tricia Weaner, freshman Jenny Connolly and juniors Jamie Saffer and Michele King earned an NCAA B cut en route to capturing the 200y MR in a season-best 1:41.57.
Connolly, Saffer and King combined with sophomore Morgan Farrell to claim first in the 400y MR in 1:41.57.
Connolly and King also combined with freshman Abbie Alton and senior Katie Gehring to win the 200y FR in a season-best 1:32.47.
Completing the first day relay sweep was the team of freshman Caitlin Perks, sophomore Aleksa Akerfelds and seniors Brittany Nauta and Carly Matthes, who won the 800y FR in 7:24.80.
Connolly, Saffer, King and Mathes each grabbed individual event titles, as well.
Connolly captured the 100y fly in 54.71 and also finished second in a season-best and NCAA B qualifying time of 54.40 in the 100y back. Farrell was fourth in the 100y back in 57.99.
Saffer grabbed victory in the 100y breast in 1:02.07 with junior Alex Barsanit (1:04.16) and freshman Samara Gelb (1:04.34) placing right behind their teammate in third and fourth, respectively.
Saffer and Connolly also went 3-5 in the 200y IM, finishing in 2:03.99 and 2:04.07, respectively.
King led a dominant Lady Vols performance in the 50y free, winning in 22.94, while Gehring (23.35), freshman Atlantis Wilkins (23.58) and Connolly (23.61) swept through places 3-4-5.
Carly Mathes tied for first in the 200y free with Michigan's Hannah Smith in 1:49.81, while classmate Brittany Nauta was third in a season-best 1:50.92.
Akerfelds was runner-up by less than half a second to Indiana's Amanda Smith in the 500y free. Her time was 4:49.81. Mathes was fifth in the 500y free in a season-best 4:55.48.
Akerfelds also placed third in the 400y IM in a season-best 4:19.87.
"Aleksa (Akerfelds) was really tough today," Kredich said. "She swims a challenging slate of events because she's very good at a lot of them. Her best swim of the day probably came in the 800y free relay, where she held off a charge from (Indiana's Nikki White) to secure the win in that event. I was also very impressed with Carly (Mathes) and Jenny (Connolly). They both were successful on relays and in individual events."
Gabbie Trudeau led the way on the diving boards, finishing second in the platform and fourth on the 1-meter board (256.10). Fellow freshman Jodie McGroarty placed sixth in both the 1-meter (252.80) and the 3-meter (270.55). Senior Staley McCartney chipped in with a ninth-place finish on the platform (188.15) and a 10th place result on the 3-meter (233.10).
"This was certainly a very challenging meet as we expected it would be," UT head diving coach Dave Parrington said. "Having to dive in three different events made for a tough environment, but I couldn't be more pleased with our divers' attitudes and aggressiveness - even at the end of the meet on the platform. We didn't dive all that well, but we had some good performances here and there."
The two-day quad meet wraps up tomorrow as the third and final session begins at 9 a.m. and will include the 1,650y free, 200y back, 100y free, 200y breast, 200y fly and 400y free relay.

Allegation of ISPAK is Baseless for Use of 3G Spectrum. PTCL
Yesterday a press release has been fired out from media agencies of members of ISPAK (Internet Service Provider Association of Pakistan). According to the press release, PTCL's use of illegal 3G spectrum causing $300 million loss to Government.
Responding to the press release, Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) said that allegations from ISPAK on the use of 3G Spectrum are totally baseless and there is not any violation on usage of spectrum because the company has been using frequency spectrum in the 450MHz, 3.5GHz and 1900MHz bandwidth as allocated to it by PTA since 2004.
In the statement, PTCL furthure said that Pakistan Telecommunication Authority allocated this frequency in 2004 after legal auction precess whereas 3G spectrums to be auctioned by the government is entirely different frequency band and why ISPAK can't understand the difference between these two frequency bands.
Therefore, the allegation against PTCL for the loss of $300 million is totally baseless. These accusations made against the company clearly reflect the failure of ISPAK service providers (Cyber Internet Services, Nexlinx, Nayatel, Linkdotnet, Micronet Broadband, Multinet, COMSATS, Maxcom, Skynet and wateen telecom) to invest in improving the quality of their services, according to the statement.
To cover up their own infrastructural inabilities of providing a satisfactory service they are making false allegations against PTCL. While at the same time, ISPs continue to benefit from the services that PTCL has continued to provide them beyond the obligation period that has expired, it said. The statement also said that without these services, these ISPs will be unable to run their operations.
Press release from ISPAK
ISLAMABAD: PTCL's blatant violation of Spectrum Regulations, Competition Laws and continued illegal use of costly 3G wireless spectrum is not only causing huge losses of more than US $300 million to Government exchequer but destroying the broadband competition on the other hand, thus paving way for re-establishing monopoly of incumbent, PTCL.
This was stated in a press release issued by Internet Service Providers Association of Pakistan (ISPAK). PTCL since 2010 has been using costly 3G spectrum for its wireless broadband services advertised as EVO Nitro and occupied about 40% extra 3.75 MHz of spectrum not originally allocated to it by PTA.
ISPAK made complaints to Frequency Allocation Board (FAB), the national body for enforcing use of wireless spectrum, and PTA in December 2010. FAB verified illegal use of spectrum by PTCL and PTA after conducting series of hearings, imposed a fine of Rs. 82 million on PTCL in September 2011. PTCL challenged this order of PTA in Islamabad High Court (IHC) and obtained a temporary stay order dated 10 November 2011 with noting that "this order shall not inure unless specifically extended on the next date of hearing".
PTA did not pursue the case in IHC nor filed an appeal against this interim stay order which has led to continued illegal use of 3G spectrum by PTCL even as of today. PTA's procrastination over this blatant and continued violation of law by PTCL is also resulting in a discriminatory regime for all other broadband operators who have paid millions of dollars of costly spectrum as legitimate fees whereas PTCL has been given a free hand to use extra spectrum without paying any fee or following the process of competitive bidding.
This act of PTCL is seriously hurting all other broadband operators, particularly, WiMax and future 3G operators who are expected to pay minimum of US$300 million for spectrum. On one hand, PTCL has successfully manipulated the Government to delay the auction of 3G spectrum under garb of a clandestine agreement between Government of Pakistan and Etisalat to enforce a moratorium on issuing new licenses for seven years at the time of PTCL's privatization, and on the other hand, it is using a scarce and very costly 3G spectrum without paying any license fee and circumventing competitive bidding.
The injunction order of IHC is against the Enforcement Order dated 16 September 2011 of PTA and in no way allows PTCL to continue theft of spectrum, keep robbing the national exchequer and annihilating its competitors by gaining extra spectrum at no cost. ISPAK demands immediate action by PTA to stop the continued theft of national spectrum, recover the cost of spectrum and impose penalty on PTCL for this blatant violation.
Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) is the largest telecommunication company in Pakistan
The company provides telephony services nation-wide and is the backbone for country's telecommunication infrastructure despite arrival of a dozen other telecommunication companies

I love ballet flats, they're comfy and easy. These in particular are great to spice up pretty much any outfit.

Fold-up Flats are the best thing ever. I just throw them in my handbag and change into them when I can't stand on heels anymore. Plus they look so very chic a la Audrey Hepburn.

Your immune system holds an army of antibodies that fight foreign substances in your body that can cause illnesses. But like actual soldiers, they become weary if constantly under attack. You should live a healthy lifestyle to boost your immune system and keep germs out.
Stress is a very deadly condition to put yourself under. Studies show that stress can cause or make illnesses worse. Not only does it cause stomach ulcers, headaches and sicknesses, but if you are infected with herpes, outbreaks may occur. It is important to not allow your body to become stressed mentally or physically. Your immune system will eventually break down when under stress and won't be able to fight against infections. You'll be at your most vulnerable when this happens. By eliminating stress, you will become physically and emotionally healthy.
The body releases substances during stressful times and when combined with more stress, it will have a negative impact on your body's ability to stay healthy.
Although there are many medications available to help boost the immune system, natural remedies are the safest way to do so. Most of the remedies out there can be done right from your own home. Drinking lemons is a great way to boost the immune system. You can mix the juice with water or tea. Lemon juice can also be mixed with vinegar and placed in foods while cooking.
Water alone can greatly help also. Your body needs it and science shows that dehydration can cause many, many problems for you.
Coffee and chocolate are shown to decrease the efficiency of your immune system and health. White sugar also isn't good for your body. Coffee, sugar and chocolate can cause a major increase in energy, but later in the day your body will experience a crash effect. This is a complaint that many have with energy drinks and pills. Why take a supplement to increase energy when in the end you will be more tired than ever?
Fruits and uncooked vegetables contain antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fiber and enzymes. Vitamin C is known to boost the immune system and protect the cells in your body. Oranges are a great source of C vitamins. Dark colored produce such as berries, kale and broccoli are high in flavonoids, polyphenols and other antioxidants. You can also purchase dried up seaweed for minerals - they are sometimes sold raw (meaning they were dried at low temperatures to maintain the enzymes and nutrients).
Many of us spend 90% of our lives indoors, breathing dubiously filtered air and the germs of other people. Some research has shown that being outside in the cold can help your health as well. When you are outdoors, you release endorphins.
You should also go out to social events. Spend time with friends. Get nurtured with a massage or take a hot bubble bath. The human body responds to emotions, so when you are feeling harassed and anxious, it can develop into a sore throat or a cold. Pay close attention to your body to see when an illness is about to occur, you should take these as warning signs to take it easy and do something quick
Boosting up your immune system is a choice of lifestyle. If you eat right and consume the vitamins needed to stay healthy, infections like herpes will have little chance against your antibodies.

Transmission of the virus can occur when the infected partner does not have an active outbreak of blisters, ulcers, or other symptoms. Some individuals may never have any symptoms and may not know that they are infected with the herpes virus. However, they can still transmit the virus to others. Oral herpes can be spread through kissing. Genital herpes is transmitted through sexual contact (vaginal, anal, and oral). The virus can be transmitted from oral to genital regions and vice versa during oral sex. Commented on HelloLife · January 18, 2008 at 1:19 AM

Termites in Chairs
We have a set of very expensive upholstered chairs that were infested with termites when they were built 15 years ago. We knew we had termites because about 6 years ago, the clear looking ones began to come out through the fabric and we could see droppings. Then one day they swarmed. Hundreds of them, dark with wings, came out of the chairs through several openings. Too say the least it was disgusting and we were horrified. I almost threw the chairs away, but I changed my mind, knowing we were gonna fumigate soon.
We were having our garage (a separate building) fumigated & tented with Vikane, so we put the chairs in the garage. They fumigated with plenty of gas and when they measured the next morning, the levels were high. We assumed the garage and chairs were termite free.
Now 4 years later, the garage seems termite free, we have been checking, but we have termites in at least one of the chairs still. I say still, because its not possible that its a new infestation. The chairs are upholstered 100%, there is no exposed wood. They just swarmed again for the first time in 4 years.
Our garage, is all open open wood, so I trust that the product did get to all the wood. But what about a house?
Whats going on here? Why did the gas fail on the chairs? We are going to have our house fumigated and I need to ask the question ..If the gas doesnt permeate through the upholstery, how is it going to permeate through drywall? Our house is infested. We have areas with larvae droppings both inside and out. Should we trust the gas? We already have a lot of damage and I'm not sure if fumigating really works.
I also have another question. We have termite damage on the outside eaves of our 2 story house too. How does the gas get into these eaves when they put gas inside the house?
If your home is infested with dry woods now that is the probable source of the new infestation in the chairs
The fumigant used in tenting has no lasting residual effect
The termites could very well have gone through the fabric while causing only minute holes in unseen areas
It is possible that the exposed wood in the garage was treated with a boric acid compound like Borid or Timbor to prevent futue infestations, the chairs would not have been
And yes the fumigant will penetrate drywall it will penetrate most anything within the tenting material
The gas will go into the eaves through the attic
There is at least a four inch gap between the perimeter wall and the roof caused by the trusses
This opening gives direct access from the attic to the soffit and eaves
Possibilty:The chairs could have an impenetrable membrane under the uphostery to prevent water invasion. This would prevent the fumigant from penetrating to the infested wood members. Check out drywood termites info @ the LINK REMOVED pest library.

Behind the Scenes of the Pro Photographer Showdown with Scott Serfas PLUS FULL SHOW INSIDE!
Despite all the rapid development and heartache associated with photography's switch from analog to digital, the feeling you get watching a well thought-out slideshow has never gone away. The Pro Photographer Showdown, part of the World Ski & Snowboard Festival in Whistler, BC each April is a celebration of just that, every year bringing five of the top action shooters in the world in to battle for the title and large cash prize.
This past year, Vancouver-based Scott Serfas, a big-time player in the snowboard photography scene, as well as a Transworld Snowboarding Magazine staff photographer, threw his name into the hat and put together an incredible slideshow. In this short video, we go behind the thought-process that goes into a show like this from one of the most impressive guys in the game.
This is a great little piece and I have to say thanks to Scott and whoever else had a hand in it for sharing.
As a side note: notice Scott's wall of covers above his desk. Impressive to say the least.
Added extreme-super-amazing-kinda-incredible bonus? Here's the full show including some of the best snowboard, surf and skate images ever shot:

It's natural for parents to want to protect their kids from anxieties they had as children. The solution, however, is to step into the fear, not away from it.
Is there a mistake or set of mistakes that parents of anxious kids consistently make in attempting to help their children?
There are two consistent mistakes, and both are done lovingly and intuitively because they appear to work in the short run. The first is trying to meet anxiety's demand for certainty. Parents hope to alleviate worry by continually reassuring, planning for, or accommodating their anxious child. Second, when this fails—because absolute certainty is impossible—parents then allow the child to avoid important activities, like school, social gatherings, or outings. Although parents believe they are helping their children by keeping them calm and comfortable, these actually make the anxiety stronger. The more anxious children avoid, and the more they seek security and comfort, the more they become trapped by their anxiety. Their world becomes smaller and smaller.
If a parent has an anxious or irrational outburst in front of a child, what is the best way to address it later with the child?
We are big fans of externalizing the "worry part" with kids. Make it a character! Give it a name! Talk back to it! If a parent is also a worrier and the family is working together on managing worry, then parents can name their own worry, too. Parents serve as important role models for how to respond to an anxious moment, so we don't mind if parents exhibit the turmoil of their worries, as long as they allow their children to witness them recover using the tools we teach.
What does this approach sound like?
It's great for kids to hear a parent say something like, "Geesh, my anxiety really got the best of me that time. I was listening to him and completely forgot to step back and problem solve. I'll keep working on it. Next time worry shows up, I won't let him boss me around. And if you see my worry show up, let me know!"
What is the most surprising thing you discovered in researching/writing Anxious Kids, Anxious Parents?
We were surprised to discover how often other professionals suggest to parents that they should reassure their children whenever they become worried and that they should make accommodations that eliminate the child's anxiety when it shows up. This is exactly the opposite of what we teach. Parents shouldn't take hurdles down to "protect" kids from insecurities; they need to help them jump over the hurdles. On the positive side, while we were writing the book Dr. Golda Ginsburg published some great research that demonstrated how effective parent education can be in the prevention of anxiety in children.
Is your book aimed at parents of children in a specific age range?
We use the techniques with kids as young as four or five, up through the teen years. Many self-identified anxious parents of younger children have told us they read the book preventatively, learning the skills now so they don't pass on their own anxious patterns as their children grow. The companion kids' book, Playing with Anxiety: Casey's Guide for Teens and Kids, is written for ages 8 to 16.
What is the most important point you want to get across?
Anxiety looks dramatic. It can be overwhelming for families if they don't understand it. But it's actually not complicated. Even though the content of the worry—from the fear of throwing up to the insecurity of not fitting into a social group—might jump around, the process of anxiety is virtually the same every time. Anxiety does the same thing over and over. Once families recognize its tricks, it begins to lose its power.
If you had one piece of advice, what would it be and who would it be for—parents, children or both?
Because we see anxiety through a family lens, our advice would be to both parents and children: Worry and anxiety are normal. They show up when you are doing something new or different or challenging. Your job is to step into the uncertainty of life, not away from it. Knowing how to respond to your worry—not how to eliminate it—is the key. Parents must focus on raising children that can tolerate uncertainty and problem solve so that kids feel equipped as they grow.
What would you like to see happen as a result of your book?
We want parents to learn the skills to handle both their own anxiety and the anxiety in their children. We are intent on interrupting what is clearly a family pattern. The skills we teach are not complicated, and we know from the hundreds of families we've treated that they work. We'd also like to see schools use our approach with parents and children. Most schools unknowingly make the same mistakes that parents make and consequently make anxiety stronger. So far, teachers, guidance counselors, and school nurses have been enthusiastic about what this book offers to schools.
Do anxious parents have a tendency to see mood or behavioral problems in kids where in fact they don't exist?
Anxious parents have a hard time letting their kids be uncomfortable. So when a child is struggling with normal fears or worries, anxious parents may tend to step in too quickly. They often want to protect their child from similar worries and struggles that they had as an anxious child. And what parent wouldn't? Nonetheless, anxious families need a whole new framework that sees uncertainty as a healthy first step toward problem solving and confidence. We tell them this: If you're uncertain or uncomfortable as you move into new situations and challenges, you're on the right track. Our book provides parents with many exercises to help them shift their frame so they can learn concrete strategies to respond differently to their children.

Dalton boys basketball coach Dave Potopsky was a man living in fear Friday, hoping that his master plan -- a Wayne County Athletic League championship -- would not be dashed by a dangerous Northwestern club.
Potopsky can relax some today, as his Bulldogs were the ones doing the dashing with a 69-60 triumph in front of a raucous crowd.
With the win, Dalton (13-3, 9-2) remained a game back of league front-runner Norwayne, while Northwestern (9-6, 7-4) was all but eliminated from championship contention.
"This game scared me," Potopsky said. "Northwestern has good players, players who pose matchup problems. ... And when you're ranked 10th in the state, it's an extra incentive for other teams."
Northwestern, which fell to 9-6 overall and 7-4 in the league, didn't need an extra motivation for this one, though. It knew entering the game how high the stakes were, as a loss would drop them three league games back with just three to play -- if favored Norwayne beat Smithville, which they did 57-29.
"We had to have this one to even be in contention," said Northwestern coach Mark Alberts Jr. "It's very disappointing, but we did leave everything on the floor. It was just a case of Dalton making plays in the fourth quarter when they had to."
That is a matter of fact, as the hosts finished the game on a 28-19 tear, breaking loose from a 41-all encounter late in the third quarter.
Ryan Neuenschwander's two free throws with 10 seconds left in the third, followed by buckets from Josh Gerber (three-point play at 7:49) and Neuenschwander (7:12) to start the fourth, gave Dalton a seven-point cushion (48-41) and set the tone for the game's final stretch run.
Northwestern, which was outscored 47-31 in the first and last quarters, did pull within three on a Jim Lindeman 3-pointer with 2:28 to play, but the visitors would get no closer.
"This was a team effort. Look at the scoring, that's a good example of that," said Potopsky, whose team had four players finish with double-figure scoring nights. "We made the extra pass, did a good job on the double-teams and traps and diid a good job defensively."
Ryan Neuenschwander, who hit a pair of first-quarter 3-pointers in helping the Bulldogs to a 21-12 edge, led Dalton with 19 points. Dan Owolabi added 17 points, while Gerber and Mark Jameson threw in 15 and 14 points, respectively.
"I thought we played well overall," said Owolabi, who finished 8-of-13 from the floor and added eight rebounds. "Down the stretch we missed a few foul shots that would've helped out, but we hustled well and found the open man at crucial times."
Owolabi was a benefactor of that scenario, as the 6-foot-3 forward showed more than his usual low-post game. Owolabi hit a pair of first-quarter jumpers and then connected on back-to-back 17-footers in the final frame to help Dalton maintain its eight-point lead (57-49) with 3:56 to play. Owolabi also added a backdoor feed to a wide-open Brian Anderson with 2:02 remaining, giving Dalton back a five-point lead that Lindeman had cut down to three.
"Owolabi's two jump shots in a row were big," Alberts said. "We never want to 'give up' anything, but in that situation ... we didn't contest him. Maybe as coaches that's our fault, but you have to give Dan a lot of credit.
"Dalton has a heckuva ball team. You would be hard pressed finding a team better than them," Alberts added. "They've got good size, they've got good guards and they play as a team. We played hard, but they played their butts off. It was a really good high school game to watch."
Steve Kline led the Huskies with a game-high 24 points, but the senior guard needed 24 shots (9-of-24) to reach the mark. Kline added five rebounds and three assists, while backcourt mate Adam Harbaugh threw in 12 points, snared four boards and dished out four assists. Lindeman added 11 points for Northwestern in one of his best games of the season.
When asked for a main key to the win, Potopsky didn't hesitate.
"We do this thing in practice called the 'Clearview Drill' -- in honor of our assistant Chuck Green -- where the kids have to work with the ball and get open," Potopsky said of the exercise that makes two offensive players go against eight defensive players, two in each quarter of the court. "We knew sooner or later that we would see a difference against a team that likes to trap and double team.
"We did a great job of splitting the pressure and attacking the basket instead of settling for jumpers."

One of the strengths of the master's degree program is that it provides the opportunity for students to participate in a graduate research project. Many of these projects utilize field-oriented research because of the unique geographical setting of the university. Laboratory research is also supported in such areas as genetics, virology, immunology and physiology. Department facilities include a green house, herbarium, Lake Superior research boat, the Longyear Forest, molecular biology labs, a small-animal colony, and a zoological collection. The members of the Biology Department faculty all have doctoral degrees, and most are actively involved in the department's graduate program.
- All applicants must submit scores from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) at the time of admission.
- Applicants must include an essay indicating their background, career goals and research interests.
- Student's entering the biology/biochemistry degree must have completed CH 342 Physical Chemistry II or its equivalent with a grade of "B." Credit for this course will not count for the degree.
- Applicants must submit three letters of recommendation.
- Students must have a thesis adviser prior to admission. To identify the adviser, students should contact a faculty member and establish the willingness of that person to serve as the adviser, as indicated by a memo from the faculty member to that effect.
Regular admission will be granted to graduates of four-year accredited institutions who have been admitted into the College of Graduate Studies, meet all of the admission requirements of the Biology Department and have a minimum undergraduate grade point average of 3.00 on a 4.00 scale.
Applicants are expected to have a solid background in biology, including at least one year of general biology and other courses as deemed necessary by the graduate thesis advisor. Course work in chemistry (general chemistry and organic chemistry) and physics (minimum one semester with lab) is also expected. When a student's past course work does not meet these expectations, the graduate thesis advisor and the Department of Biology graduate committee will recommend appropriate courses to strengthen the background of the student.

You old timers are going to have to change your paradigm. Being young or a newcomer, or a suburbanite, or even a racial minority, is not quite the iron-clad predictor of voting behavior that it once was. I'm willing to bet that performance in office will trump demographics in an otherwise close election, at least enough to make North Carolina a long shot for the Obama team. 2008 was the perfect storm for a challenger; the war(s), the financial meltdown, the newness of a black candidate…those conditions will be impossible for him to replicate in 2012.

Faculty Reserve
Books and other printed materials are placed in the reserve area for students' use at the request of faculty members.
Items placed in the Faculty Reserve are materials that are usually high in demand for a course, therefore because of their nature, are circulated for limited periods of time in order to serve a greater number of students. Professors have assigned them for entire classes to use, or the library has put them aside because of their popular or sensitive nature.
Items placed in the Faculty Reserve are designed to provide a high level of access to materials that are in high demand by a large number of students. Faculty reserve materials may include books owned by the Library, instructor's personal collection, or photocopies of book chapters, lecture notes, homework assignments, exam files, etc., and are usually for use in the Library only, unless the lecturer has specified a limited circulation period.
The purpose of this service allows the lecturer to ensure that students have access to their materials, which might consist of reference or additional readings assigned to the class. Furthermore, this service allows a lecturer to make use of limited materials such as single books, which they might want all students to read and prepare for class.
Lecturers are encouraged to make use of this service. The Faculty Reserve is unique to the Circulation Desk.
