Hello AO, I haven't been here if forever it seems, its good to be back, and also know that my login is still working.
My question/help that I am needing is I currently have a box running Win7 pro, I am looking for a way to share the network connection i have through this machine to another machine, and to preferably use some form of NAT. As I am currently at a university, with rules on their network that state that you can only have 1 machine hooked up via wired and one machine on the wireless networks. With each mac address registered to the students account to keep track. Feel free to ask questions and thank you in advance.
yes the machine running win7 has two ethernet ports as well.

This guide is very nice to have, as well as what Jon has offered. I'm sure I'll be back up before too long. I have been following your guide, however, I could not get my user to login without a password, but 'curt' is setup in the wheel group and I got this far: $ sudo yum -y install iptables wget . Note: if you mess up when setting your iptables rules and manage to block your own access to the server, then follow these directions to get your ssh access back: [snip some info stuff] # service iptables stop # exit o iptables will now be turned off and you should be able to log back in via ssh. . I recommend that you put all your iptables rules in a shell script and run that script to update the rules. You can download and edit the basic script that I use to setup iptables. $ cd $ wget http://github.com/pajamian/stuff/raw/master/centos/iptables_cfg.sh $ chmod 700 iptables_cfg.sh $ vi iptables_cfg.sh . Make any changes you want. The default configuration is to allow pings, ssh and http(s). $ sudo ./iptables_cfg.sh . Make sure you can still log in via ssh (but *don't* close your current ssh connection until you do!) Well, I can't login with SSH any longer or into my DirectAdmin console on port 2222, my email is all down, http is up, and I do have an open SSH console. I checked my access via SSH until just before that last command. I've googled about but not sure what I'm looking for, can you help me get back up? I didn't make any changes to iptables_cfg.sh. I tried to swap out iptables.save, re-run sudo ./iptables_cfg.sh, tried stoping then starting as root, and then swapped them back when no luck. I'm sure I was the correct user/root for these tasks as well. Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this... > Peter Thank you very much! Curt

The Acura MDX is a midsize crossover SUV with all-wheel drive and a front engine layout. Closely related to the Honda Pilot, the MDX offers an upgraded interior, more powerful engine, and a number of luxury features not available on the Pilot. In the U.S. and Canadian market, the MDX offered a new body style to replace the Acura SLX, which did not sell well because the frame was based on the Isuzu Trooper.
The Acura MDX was introduced at the end of 2000 as a 2001 model. The initials MDX mean "Multi-Dimensional Luxury;" meanwhile, there are other MDX-esque vehicles in markets outside of the U.S. and Canada which aren't under the Acura brand name. The North American MDX crossover SUVs are assembled in Ontario, Canada.
Acura is one of the best selling luxury vehicles in the United States and in Canada. Acura is a branch of the Honda Motor Corporation and is the luxury line of Honda for North America.
The first generation MDX was available in the United States and Canada from 2001 to 2006. As a five-door, five-speed automatic SUV, it features Acura's SOHC with VTEC engine, a V-6, 24 valve offering 240 horsepower in most models. The MDX has an automatic all-wheel drive system which detects and adjusts for slippery roads during acceleration. The MDX can be switched to full-time four-wheel drive at any time for steep hills and other rough terrain. During normal driving, the SUV is set for front-wheel drive.
Some of the 2001 and 2002 models reported some transmission problems. Acura made some changes to the transmission resulting in reportedly smoother rides in the 2003 models. The later models also have 265 horsepower compared to the original 240 ponies. Options include a voice-activated navigation system with reverse camera or a DVD entertainment system, but not both in the same MDX.
All of the MDX models from 2001 through 2006 have better fuel economy compared to other comparable vehicles like the Ford Explorer or BMW X5.
The concept for the second generation Acura MDX was unveiled at the New York International Auto Show on October 2006 and was released that same month in the U.S. as the 2007 MDX. The second generation is a complete redesign with a more modern, sleeker body, and a wider wheelbase. Safety features such as anti-lock brakes and anti-skid control are standard and the new MDX's body structure is designed to absorb energy upon impact; however, rear visibility is decreased. The engine is more powerful, offering around 300 hp and great torque; acceleration is 0-to-60 in 6.5 seconds. The Acura MDX features a more advanced all-wheel drive system (AWD) with active rear differential.
The second generation Acura MDX, sold from 2007 to 2010, is available in three different packages. The technology package offers DVD satellite GPS navigation and real-time traffic updates, 410-watt surround sound, rearview camera, satellite radio, and a remote powered lift gate. The Sport Package has active suspension dampers to improve handling and the ability to switch to comfort/sport mode. This package also comes with five-spoke alloy wheels, leather seating, and several items from the Technology Package. The Entertainment Package has a flipdown LCD screen and two wireless headphones. This package can also come with items from the previous two packages or as a stand alone option.
First released in 2010, the third generation Acura MDX received a major upgrade in the form of a substantially redesigned exterior, a new engine and transmission, a revised chassis, and comfort and technology improvements. The 2010 model offers a 3.7 liter V-6 engine, improved fuel efficiency, and a six-speed automatic transmission. Lighter, 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels are standard. The MDX includes a new sport steering wheel with racing-inspired paddle shifters, available ventilated front seats, upgraded interior trim, richer simulated wood trim, a new full VGA navigation screen, a rearview camera with three unique view choices, a new rear entertainment system, and an updated audio system. Safety improvements include a new braking system, adaptive cruise control, and a blind-spot information system. The Acura MDX seats seven.
In 2001, the MDX won the North American Truck of the Year Award, Best Luxury SUV and Sport Utility of the Year. In 2007, it was a top safety pick. In 2010, MDX ranked first for Luxury Midsize SUVs.

text: Students "speed date" to share community engagement experiences News Home 10.14.13 By: Mark Tarnacki Lined up for "speed-dating" in a sun-soaked, foliage-framed Saint Michael's College outdoor courtyard early in October, students in Patti Delaney's Anthropology 109 class were obliged to break the news to one another: They're already engaged. Happily, that's what their fellow students were hoping and expecting to hear. The engagement these students were talking about concerned recent community service assignments they've taken on as part of their learning, integrating real-world interactions with classroom work to impart deeper meaning and practical skills. This so-called "community-engaged learning" is becoming a hallmark of education at Saint Mike's. Anthropology Professor Patti Delaney said she opted to use the "speed-dating" formula - moving down the line and talking for a minute or two with each successive person about your own personal highlights, or asking them about theirs - to help students process what they've been doing at any of three Greater Burlington sites since fall semester's start. "One group is working with the local Boys and Girls Club with their teen program after school; another is working with the Boys and Girls Club at the integrated Arts Academy in Burlington, so they're doing homework help with students in K through Grade 3," the professor explained. "Then these are at Vermont Adult Learning, working with refugees and immigrants in an advanced English class." Right after the "speed-dating," they self-sorted into subgroups from their same site assignments in order to figure the best way to communicate their experience to groups from other sites. Delaney picked up the activity from a summer workshop presented by Joan Wagner, director of the college's Center for Community-Engaged Learning, and decided this October 1 was a great time to try it out - outdoors - on such a glorious Vermont autumn morning. Students clearly felt engaged in the class activity itself, their discussions drawing out fresh insights with bursts of animated laughter and lots of smiles. "They go to their community sites for 10 weeks, so all semester long, working two hours each week, and that's essentially the lab component of this class," says Delaney. "We have a series of exercises and activities in class that let them bring experience and connect it to what we're reading in class. Since I can't take off and bring them to East Timor where I do my work, this is the next best thing," she says. "It's a great hook - The class has a lot of first-year "Exploratory" majors who don't know what they want to do yet, and I find the field experience often is what grabs their attention for service or commitment to social justice, or for the major."

|Last chance to vote! Closes at 1:00 Central Thursday.
Onto the retro card! If you enjoyed the pink radio from Monday, you're probably the right age to enjoy this card. I actually made it for the Gallery Idol die cut challenge, but somebody thought it was a bit too obscure-pop-culture-y.
Again I did this with my Silhouette, but yes, every single square was cut out and placed individually. I made multiples of the seven different tetris shapes in Silhouette Studio, then played around with them in the software until I got them to fit. I took a screenshot of it and printed it out so I could use it as a reference for gluing down the squares.
After that, the rest came together easily...some more rectangles, circles, and rounded rectangles for the buttons, Neuropol font (cut out of self-adhesive cardstock for "you complete me", printed directly on the green paper for the score [which is also our anniversary]), plus a pixelated heart. I made three copies of the buttons and stacked them for a 3-D look and also added some acetate for the screen.
I've also added all the Market Street Stamps design team gals to my sidebar, which reminds to me, if you didn't see it yesterday, there is a Super Sale going on until Friday!
Also you have until Thursday night to leave a comment on each Market Street Stamps DT Reveal post from yesterday for a chance to win a MSS set and there is also a new Color Cue Challenge today.
So remember you need to fill me in on: Do you like the new pages? I'm always open to suggestions of how to blog better. Can I make an open suggestion to everyone out there? Please no music (even if you're a really popular stamp company) It always scares the bejeezus out of me when it starts playing. What are some challenges you like to play in? Can you beat my highest line total? What other retro thing would you like to see turned into a card?

Going crazy following posts on the Internet trying to set permissions on your WordPress directory to get automatic plugin downloads and updates working? So was I. Several times on several sites. Trying to keep security in mind I didn't want to give too much. After applying the DIRECT method to the wp-config.php file I had to do this to get plugins to download, create the directory and install. Keep in mind all permissions were the default except for this:
chmod 775 wp-content/ chgrp nobody wp-content/ chgrp nobody -R wp-content/plugins/
'Nobody' should be the user that the apache process runs under. You do not need to set permissions to 777.

Business school's Brad Morrison honored for work in system dynamics
Brandeis International Business School Associate Professor Brad Morrison and his collaborators were honored by the System Dynamics Society with the Jay W. Forrester Award last month in recognition of their work on action-oriented problem solving.
It is the most prestigious award in the field of system dynamics.
The team's journal article, "The dynamics of action-oriented problem solving: linking interpretation and choice," was published in the Academy of Management Review in 2009. At the award ceremony in July, Morrison accepted the honor on behalf of his co-authors, Jenny Rudolph of Harvard Medical School and John Carroll of MIT.
"The paper makes a major contribution to the literature on decision-making and sense-making," said Jack Homer, chair of the Forrester Award Committee. "It presents a compact and elegant simulation model based, in part, on a unique clinical case study, and provides generalizable insights about the decision-making styles and conditions that can lead to failure or success."
Homer described the article as having direct applications in many organizational contexts, including combat and intelligence operations, plant operations, competitive strategy, and workplace dynamics.
"It was a shock and a surprise to receive this honor," Morrison said. "I am humbled to be in the company of some of the preeminent scholars in my field."
Bruce Magid, the dean of the business school and the Martin and Ahuva Gross Chair in Financial Markets and Institutions, said: "We are extremely proud of Brad Morrison for his impressive achievement with this award. He has quickly become a valuable contributor to our program and an important thought leader both at Brandeis and in the wider world of international business education."
Also this summer, Morrison was promoted to associate professor and awarded tenure.

In this exhibit, Broad scientists describe today's powerful genomic technologies and how they are being used to transform genomic scienceand medicine.
The Films
Genetic analysis tools. Two crucial types of data in biomedical research today are 1) the DNA differences among people and how they influence health, and 2) which genes are turned on or off in different cells in both healthy and disease states. Stacey Gabriel explains how tools known as DNA chips allow scientists to collect these data by quickly scanning through entire genomes, giving information that will revolutionize our understanding of disease.
The Connectivity Map. Different genes get turned on (or "expressed") in diseased cells compared to healthy ones. The same thing is true of cells that are exposed to a particular drug versus those that are not. From these core principles, Broad researchers have developed the Connectivity Map, a tool that promises to accelerate and improve the way drugs are discovered. Justin Lamb and Todd Golub explain how genetic technologies like DNA chips make this work possible.
The Technology
Gene Chip Scanner. Like a window to an inner world, this machine reveals the information contained in the human genome. It accomplishes this by scanning microarrays — chips made of silica and spotted with thousands of bits of DNA. Here at the Broad Institute, scientists use these chips everyday to determine the activities of all 20,000 human genes, or, with a slightly different chip, to map nearly a million genetic differences within a person's genome.
Hybridization Oven. DNA microarrays or "chips" are thin wafers studded with different pieces of DNA. These fragments can correspond to DNA sequences found within a person's genome — their likeness forms the framework for DNA microarray technology. This oven creates just the right conditions for matching pieces of DNA to find and stick to each other.

LSD, Dogs and Me
by Robert Anton Wilson
[writen for a Swiss magazine, on the 60th anniversary of Dr Hoffman's discovery of LSD.]
Greetings to Dr. Albert Hoffman on the 60th birthday of his "problem child!" And greetings to the Free World in general from the occupied U.S.A.! Two major factors have rendered me incapable of believing in the dominant mechanistic-materialist model of mind and the universe: [1] dogs, all of my life, and [2] LSD, since 1962.
About dogs I will write elsewhere; here I will say only that no matter how much mechanistic biology I read, no dog who ever lived as a guest in my house ever seemed like a machine to me. They all seemed like four-legged people.
Every LSD voyager has his or her own unique reports to offer; here I offer only my own recollections of my own experiences, expressed in my own favorite metaphors.
After my first LSD voyage, dogs not only seemed even less like machines than before, but so did bugs and trees and birds and the starry sky itself. After my 100th trip, even I seemed less like a machine.
I have not embraced pantheism or even panpsychism as a philosophy; rather, I have given up on philosophies entirely. I live amid wonders, which I file under the law of general semantics which states that no map can ever show "all" the territory. In fact, I think we should ban the word "all" from ordinary speech and restrict it solely to pure mathematics.
Let me explain that a bit. Consider any large city you know well — Zurich, Berlin, Amsterdam, Los Angeles, whatever. For the sake of illustration, let me write "Dublin" and you may think of any other city you prefer. Do you think any map of Dublin can show the locations and directions of all the mice in that city? Even if you regard this absurdity as theoretically possible, this map still would not include the flowers, fleas, microbes, etc. — nor would it depict the emotions, joys, sufferings of the people [or the dogs] — and it would remain relatively accurate for only seconds. [It could not remain totally accurate for even a nanosecond.]
Now consider our other kinds of "maps" — our beliefs, our arts, our sciences. Does quantum mechanics tell "all" or even most of the reasons George W. Bush wants to kill Saddam Husein? Does Freudian theory, Marxism, postmodernism, bile samples, or oil prices — alone or combined into a mega-model –tell "all" about that?
Does Van Gogh tell more or less about vegetation than Beethoven's Sixth, Darwin's Origin of Species or the latest papers on botony? Which geometry reveals "all" the truth about the starry sky above Dublin — Euclid, Gauss, Lobatchevsky, Buckminster Fuller?
To fully grasp what I mean here, try the following simple experiment: try to say "all" about the page [or computer screen] on which you see these words. Assuming you have it in hard copy, try to write down all you know about the chemical composition of the ink and the paper; if you don't know enough, do some research.
Try to learn "all" about how it got from me to you, even if that requires six months of computer science and electronic theory. Who asked me to write this? Find out "all" you can about her or him. Don't neglect the others involved in the production of this page — their salaries, their worries, their religions if any, their politics, their sex-lives usw.
And don't forget me: why did somebody ask me to write about LSD and why did I agree? Try to investigate "all" about me. [Hint: in doing this exercize, I discovered that among the infinite reasons I became a writer I could not omit the Danes over-fishing the North Sea 15 centuries ago.*]
*My paternal grandmother had the name O'Lachlann, which means "son of the Dane" in Gaelic. The Danes took to invasion and conquest, of Ireland and elsewhere, after the fish problem arose…..
If you continue this search for "allness" reasonably long enough [about two years minimum], the page will have yellowed and the ink might have faded, which will require more nvestigation into chemistry and even political history —e.g. the paper would last longer if made of hemp; why did the publisher use wood pulp instead?
Now imagine these gigabytes of information entering your brain not in two years, but in two nanoseconds, and radiating not just from this page but from the fruit on the table, the wall paint, the pencil, the cars passing in the street….. and the furthest stars.
That's why LSD has altered the world for so many of us in the last 60 years. Like English poet William Blake we have found "infinity in a grain of sand" and the deeper we look, the deeper the abyss grows. And like Nietzsche, we often suspect that as we gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into us……
LSD seems to suspend the imprinted and conditioned brain circuits that normally control pereption/emotion/thought, allowing a flood — an ocean — of new information to break through. The experience will seem either very frightening or exileratingly educational, depending on how rigidly you previously believed your current map contained "all" the universe. Since I learned that no model equals the totallity of experience long before I tried LSD, I never had a bad trip; but I have seen enough anxiety atttacks and downright wig-outs in cases of the naive and dogmatic that I have never favored or advocated LSD's promiscuous use by the general population. As J.R. "Bob" Dobbs says, "You know how dumb the average ccitizen is? Well, mathematically, by definition, half of them are even dumber than that."
While splashing about and trying not to drown in this ocean of new information, you generally experience a second LSD surprise: an explosion of newfound energy within your own body. Whether you call this kundalini or bio-electricity or orgone or libido or Life Force, it can trigger muscle spasms, unbridled Eros or just "warm and melting" sensations — or all three in succession, or all three almost simultaneously — usually followed by something loosely called "near-death experience" or "out of body experience." Again, this can seem either psychotically terrifying or "religiously" ecstatic, and can imprint short-or–long-term tendecies toward paranoia ["everything wants to destroy me"] or metanoia ["everything wants to help me."] In either case, one tends to retain a heightened awareness of those peculiar coincidences that Jung called synchronicities and Christian conspiracy buffs attribute to hostile occult forces.
In my case, after a few years I found myself seemingly forced to choose, not between paranoia and metanoia — both by then appeared pitiful oversimplifications — but between mysticism and agnosticism. I solved that problem, for myself anyway, by choosing agnostic mysticism in the tradition of Lao-tse:
Something unknown, unspeakable,
before Earth or sky,
before life or death,
I do not know what to call it
So I call it Dao
What do I think we should do with Dr. Hoffman's "problem child"? Well, no commodity becomes safer when its manufacture, sale and distribution all fall into the hands of professional criminals; and prohibition, of alcohol and all other drugs, inevitably has that effect, followed by police corruption and public cynicism. Maybe governments should leave this arena entirely and let professional scientists, medical and otherwise, write the guidelines?
2 Poems on Salvia Divinorum: Laura Pendell
(Ska Pastora-Gwyllm Llwydd)
it starts suddenly with a circle
circular motion
a sense of movement
going counterclockwise
and it feels
it feels like it comes
out of my mouth
out of my forehead
the left side of my face
a scatter pattern
a pattern
a scatter
left to right
a pull and circularity
around me above me
from me
inside a huge room
a cathedral
I am both
the inside and the outside
and I dont know
I dont know how
I dont know how to
or swim
through this space
and I keep thinking
its growing
growing out of my face
out of my body
out of my body
and wondering
where my body
I want to relax
just wonder
at the beauty
of it all
and part of me
is saying
where am I
not as in what is this place
where is this place
where is my body
because its
pure consciousness
any physical sense
and I feel like I
should be inside
this space Ive created
and this time it is pastel green
but another time it was
pink luminescent light
and its made of
its made of
my face my body
over & over & over & over &
like a patchwork
or finely woven fabric
and it would be peaceful
except for me
where my bodys gone
and if it will ever come back
or will I ever find my way back
so I let go and swim and
its huge
its vast
its cavernous
and afterwards
there is this
deep profound
sense of
because I couldnt
this place I have always
wanted to be
this place I have always
looked for
sometimes she is filled with light
sun light
moon light
radiant light
rainbow light
sunrise light
sunset light
call it the kingdom of the oracular
sometimes she is filled with dark
forest dark
jungle dark
a green so dark it is almost black
call it the forbidden that never is
always a path ahead and behind
inside and outside
before and beyond
like walking on your hands
she sings to you
& you know the voice you know
the song she sang to you
before you were
the rush of hidden water
what weeds sing when the wind rides them
she touches you with soft fingers
caresses the part of you that always asks
until there is nothing left to ask
and the world is held together with
surface tension
it is being inside her mind
it is being her mind
just now
just then
just so

Tropical storm Arlene brought rainfall to the eastern portion of Mississippi, closely following the path of last year's hurricane Ivan. Predictive models have shown that the potential for movement of Asian rust spores was enhanced greatly.
By the time you read this, we should have a better handle on the presence of rust if Arlene changed our current (June 23) scenario. just because the models say rust could have moved, however, does not mean it did. It appears that the inoculum potential in Florida and Georgia is extremely low and not increasing as predicted.
Arlene could have brought additional spores from the Gulf area but only if viable spores were present.
We will admit that we are not nearly as as concerned as most of what you are reading, but you must look at the big picture: rust's overwintering capability, stage of the crop, and future weather conditions.
I am not downplaying rust, I just want farmers to realize there are numerous considerations to take into account prior to deciding what to do. Many decisions will err on the side of caution, but understand what you are doing. Understand why you make a fungicide application and what it can do for you.
We have spent a lot of time planting fungicide trials about controlling rust, but we may not have rust to deal with. However, we have enough potential problems that a well-timed fungicide program for other diseases can pay for an entire rust program. I hope rust will be minimal this year and our knowledge base will continue to increase.
Most of the Mississippi soybean crop went through extreme drought stress the first of June. Although the crop was young, we saw widescale plant death right after it rained over most of the state. We observed several diseases, but everything we identified was due to extremes in growing conditions.
Although plant death coincided with the rains, many of the plants were going to die anyway because they had gone too long without adequate moisture. You may disagree with that conclusion, but growers in our SMART program who watered prior to the early June rain did not have plants die.
This was proof we went a little too long without adequate moisture. Thin, droughty areas of fields suffered first. The earliest planted, most mature plants showed more stress due to the fact that they were in peak demand for moisture.
Insect pressure has been extremely light thus far. As I pointed out in a previous issue of Delta Farm Press, soil grubs have been observed fairly widespread. They appear to have increased but are being found predominantly in no-till fields. Grasshoppers and threecornered alfalfa hoppers have been observed in greater numbers in no-till plantings.
As it has become drier, potato leafhopper damage has increased. Although the damage usually appears to be cosmetic, we have seen situations where spraying has allowed plants to resume growth. Leafhopper damage will be worse on varieties that have fewer leaf hairs, but this is not a characteristic we normally measure as in cotton.
Regardless of your crop situation, treat every field individually. The easiest decision is the decision to spray, regardless of the problem.

NHL Game Night: 12-11-09 Lightning at Avalanche
Keep your foot on the gas and you win.
Antero Niittymaki allowed 1 goal on 35 shots but he also allowed 1 goal on 3 shootout attempts and that was all it took for him to get the penalty shot session loss. He deserved a lot better. He was absolutely brilliant in the third period.
First Period
TB 12:12, Downie 6 (Lecavalier, St. Louis)
Second Period
Third Period
COL 12:11, Wolski 12 (Stastny, Wilson)
COL- Wolski
The Lightning were actually leading in shots after two periods 17-14, primarily on the strength of a very good first 30 minutes. They started to let off the gas midway through the middle frame, and then suddenly the Avalanche hung a 20-5 shot disparity on them the rest of the way. It's unacceptable. The forecheck just evaporates way too easily for this team, especially when they're trying to protect a lead. Take a tip from Chris Dingman, the best way to protect a one goal lead is to get the puck behind their net and sit on it for 30 seconds. The Lightning are lucky to hold possession in the other team's zone for 3 seconds in scenarios like tonight. Someone's got to start paying the price to hold onto the puck.
And for the love of God, someone please score a (Ooh La La!) shootout goal.
Matt Smaby led the Lightning in hits with 4 in 15:30. Hello old friend. We missed you.
Zenon Konopka had 1 hit, 1 blocked shot, and was 63% on draws in 8:37.
Paul Szczechura was -1 with 4 shots and 1 hit in 18:18.
James Wright had 1 shot, 1 hit, 1 blocked shot, and was 67% on draws in 15:32.
Victor Hedman had 1 shot in 25:31.

OXFORD, Miss. – The Lipscomb Lady Bisons will face their biggest challenge of the spring tennis season when they visit the No. 34-ranked Ole Miss team.
The match is scheduled to begin at noon Friday at the Palmer/Salloum Tennis Center on the Mississippi campus.
"Ole Miss will be a great match for us to see how smart we can approach matches," Lipscomb coach Jamie Aid said. "They will force our girls to develop points and not rush."
The Lady Bisons are 5-2 and coming off a 4-3 win over Austin Peay. Ole Miss is 3-1. The Rebels swept Jacksonville State 7-0 in their last match.
Ole Miss shut down Lipscomb 4-0 last season in Nashville.
"This group of Bisons is a young bunch and has produced results that our program has never seen in the NCAA era," Aid said. "We are extremely proud of what they have accomplished and we are eager for a challenge Friday. We hope to leave Oxford with a good amount of growth."
Aid and her players are seeking wins each weekend, but the primary goal is to be prepared for Atlantic Sun Conference play.
"At this point in the season we are four matches away from conference play," Aid said. "Every match is important so we have the right amount of confidence rolling into the first conference match."

Student on Trial for Changing Grades
Read the original story. Click the "LISTEN" button at the bottom of the page to hear the story. When you are done, click the "NEXT" button.
Original title: Former Laguna Creek Student Goes on Trial in Grade-Changing Case
He was granted his high school diploma and has completed his freshman year at Occidental College, but former Laguna Creek high school student Alex Ochoa is still being prosecuted on criminal charges that he changed dozens of grades through a high school computer.
Ochoa, 19, faces 98 felony counts. He is charged with five counts of burglary while the balance of the charges are computer fraud, one for each time a grade was allegedly changed.
"I don't know why they're still pressing this case," said defense attorney Hamilton Hintz.
In opening statements Hintz told a juvenile court judge that Ochoa has alibis for almost all five dates when he allegedly committed burglary by entering a classroom and accessing the school's computer system. Hintz said one weekend Ochoa can prove he was out of town and on at least two other days football coaches will testify Ochoa was at football practice when the burglaries occurred.
The grade-changing happened through computers at Laguna Creek High School's Associated Student Body classroom. School officials say that from the spring of 2004 into 2005 as many as 84 grades were changed for at least 38 students. Administrators and prosecutors believe Ochoa changed nine of his grades but also changed grades for the other students, some without their knowledge, to cover his tracks. But Hintz argued that virtually all 25 to 30 students in the Associated Student Body class had access to a classroom key and nearly all knew the login and password for class advisor Jeff Platt.
Hintz argued Ochoa had no need to change his grades because he had a legitimate 3.76 grade point average and from the beginning Ochoa has steadfastly denied being involved. In fact, Hintz told News10 that Ochoa has refused to negotiate any plea agreement because he insists he did nothing wrong.
Hintz said two other students suspected of being involved first denied knowing anything about it and then pointed the finger a Ochoa. They claimed Ochoa threatened them if they told then later recanted those statements. Later they repeated their claim that Ochoa threatened them.
Hintz said once school officials zeroed in on Ochoa, a football star, honor student and student body officer "they shut their eyes to anything else. It's a classic rush to judgment."
Prosecutors, however, say they're convinced they have the right suspect. "It's our position that any financial aid he received from college has been obtained with false information, his transcripts," said prosecutor Sue Wilson. "Occidental was always his first choice and his grades were not good enough to get in."
Before opening statements juvenile judge Richard Gilmore denied a motion to dismiss several of the counts, and prosecutors have refused to drop the case. "Cheating is rampant. It would send the absolute wrong message," said Wilson. "He plays football. He's obviously not a baseball player because he's never learned to step up to the plate and take responsibility for his actions."
The trial is expected to last several days. Three former students who will testify have been granted immunity from prosecution. Ochoa, who has no criminal history or record of discipline before this incident in his senior year faces a maximum potential sentence of incarceration in the California Youth Authority until he is 21. After he was suspended in May of 2005, administrators denied him the chance to participate in graduation ceremonies, but he was granted his high school diploma. A school district panel decided not to expel him.
This is the seventh case of students charged with fraud or computer hacking for changing grades in Sacramento County. The other six cases were settled with plea agreements. This is the first case that has gone to trial.

e-cbd needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 53 designs submitted by 22 freelance designers.
BorderNET is releasing a new product called "Overdrive" which boosts standard internet connection speed (256K, 512K or 1024K) to a maximum rate up to 4 megabites.
Australia wide - letterbox drop
Overdrive was selected as the name as the product needs to have a rural feel to it and "overdrive" is an option on most rural machinery such as tractors, mowers etc. The logo is intended to be used on the web site as well as on printed material to be letterbox dropped across Australia in a flyer based marketing push and as such should be able to be enlarged and reduced without effecting the content.
I am thinking a gear stick or speedometer with a turtle, rabbit and then an overdrive button using the word overdrive or "Bordernet Overdrive" or with 256, 512, 1024 and then "Overdrive"

Now in its seventh year, the EC&M Product of the Year competition was established to honor excellence in new product development for the electrical industry. The prestigious Platinum Award showcases the most innovative product of the past year and recognizes inventive products that allow electrical design professionals, installers, and maintenance personnel to do their jobs more efficiently and effectively.
This year's contest pulled in 108 submissions — representing every major product category offered to the electrical design, construction, and maintenance markets. The quality level of this year's diverse selection of products made it difficult for voters to zero in on just a single item, which once again led to a close final vote tally — with just a few votes separating the top three products.
After working as a commercial electrician/foreman for more than 11 years, Brent Galbreth, president of Deviser, Inc., Winchester, Calif., knew there had to be an easier way to mark electrical enclosures for conduit entry. Like many electrical contractors, he found the task of measuring each conduit, transferring the measurements to the enclosure, and getting everything to fit exactly right both arduous and time consuming. But instead of accepting the frustration that routinely accompanies this task as a fact of life, he became obsessed with finding a better way. A few years later, his idea for a product unlike anything the industry had ever seen before, the KO stamp, became a reality.
Drawing upon his experience as an electrician, Galbreth tested the product in the field before launching it commercially. "When I created the KO Stamp, my co-workers at A&R Electric would test the product for me," he says.
Comprised of a vinyl insert, a vulcanized rubber stamp with center point, and inkpad, the KO Stamp is a marking device that helps installers find the center point of conduits in an electrical enclosure. Priced at $48.65, the KO Stamp starter kit includes 27 stamps (in sizes ranging from ½-inch to 4 inches in diameter to fit all standard conduits) as well as an inkpad. Contractors can also request custom sizes.
According to Galbreth, the tool allows users to eliminate measurements and cut layout time by as much as 98%, compared to the traditional method. "The benefit of the KO stamp fitting inside the conduit is you can adjust the stamps above the tallest conduit in the raceway," says Galbreth. "As your enclosure makes contact with each stamp, the stamps will slide down the conduit until it makes contact with all the stamps in the raceway."
Using the KO Stamp involves a straightforward three-step process: Insert the stamps into the conduit, ink the stamps, and place the electrical enclosure on the stamps and apply even pressure. The tool gives electricians the center point, conduit size, and diametric lines passing through center to align the knockout punch score lines for a precise hole. In addition, it is reusable, rugged, and works on underground applications, overhead, and sideways. The ink used to mark the conduit is dye based and takes 10 to 15 minutes to dry, which allows time for electricians to set the enclosure and gives them enough time to wipe the ink off in the event of a mistake. "On average, I could layout an enclosure with 25 to 50 conduits in about 1 to 2 hours the traditional way," notes Galbreth. "Now, with KO Stamp, I average 2 to 4 minutes for the same layouts. It also eliminates certain conduit layout mistakes made in the field, which could result in scrapping an entire enclosure."
Although the KO Stamp is not Galbreth's first invention — he actually invented a floating ping pong table years ago — it is definitely his most successful. Still holding down his day job, Galbreth is a true entrepreneur, assembling the kits from home in the evenings. Despite his company's small size, this year's winner is proof that a one-man show with a great idea can make a difference in the industry. In this case, the KO stamp impressed EC&M readers and the expert judging panel alike, knocking out some seriously stiff competition in this year's race for EC&M's coveted "Product of the Year" title. For more information, visit www.deviser-inc.com.
The first runner-up in this year's Product of the Year competition came from the boxes category and went to Carlon/Lamsom & Sessions for its Metal Adjust-A-Box. This product allows the installer to adjust the box to any wall thickness with the turn of a screw. Clip onto the stud, and then turn the screw to adjust the box in or out to make it flush with the finished wall. Removable and gangable, the box can be upgraded for multi-gang applications.
The second runner-up in this year's competition was Fluke's 117 Digital Multimeter in the portable test & measurement equipment category. This device includes integrated VoltAlert non-contact voltage detection, which quickly senses the presence of AC voltage and provides a visual indicator to determine proper grounding. The device also features Auto-V automatic AC-DC voltage detection and a low-impedance input function, which helps prevent false readings due to ghost voltage.
EC&M would like to congratulate the following five readers who each won $100 for voting in this year's competition.
- Shyam Govil, senior engineer, Bechtel Savannah River, Inc., Aiken, S.C.
- Mark McCuller, electronic engineer, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Livermore, Calif.
- Daniel Mann, electrical engineering consultant, Service and Technology Corp., Bartlesville, Okla.
- Jerry Podleski, electrician, General Motors, Lansing, Mich.
- Prem Mattappally, electrical engineer, Fermi National Acceslerator Laboratory, Batavia, Ill.
The EC&M editorial team randomly selected these names from the list of voters who cast their vote via our online Web poll.

Muskoka's lakes, stately pine trees and rocky shores have inspired such great painters as Lawren Harris, A.Y. Jackson and Tom Thomson.
For a long time, the appeal of Ontario's Muskoka region -- splashing in a cool lake or the mournful call of a loon -- stayed rugged, even in cottage country. Some of that rustic simplicity still exists, but today, this vast region east of Georgian Bay welcomes more than two million people a year to 70,000 cottages and about 300 lodging establishments. Vacationers take boat cruises, visit museums and historical sites, and enjoy live theatre, art galleries and antiquing. Sportsmen come in summer for fishing, swimming, hiking, cycling and golf. Boating is No. 1 in Muskoka, and it ranges widely in style. You'll see solo paddlers in canoes and chi-chi cocktail parties on vintage mahogany runabouts.
Visitors also come for the creative food. You'll be seduced by kid-friendly treats at Belly Ice Cream and the Old English Cookie and Fudge Company. Stock up for the cottage at gourmet shops like the Farmer's Daughter or Stephen's Butcher Shop. Or splurge on gastronomic cuisine at dining hot spots like 3 Guys and a Stove or the Deerhurst Resort. Savour Muskoka is an association of local farmers, chefs and culinary artisans who produce delicacies. The farms that thrive here are more likely to be small family affairs that raise sheep or beef or grow vegetables.
"Just be hungry when you arrive," said James Murphy, director of Savour Muskoka. "The emphasis is on 'local.' All of our members produce their goods to reflect the 'terroir' of the region. There are virtually no artificial ingredients, so the taste really comes through."
Huntsville remains one of the gateways to Muskoka.
The nearby Walker Lake Resort is a peaceful family getaway nestled in the woods on an almost private lake. The seven rustic vintage chalets have kitchens and barbecues: the ideal formula is to cook in for breakfast and lunch and take a few evenings to sample the fine country cuisine at the resort's Norsemen Restaurant. The owner, Les Gayne, can arrange babysitting. The Norsemen sticks to the Savour Muskoka principle: buying locally. Specialties include game, steak, cassoulet with duck and lamb and homemade sausages. The Norsemen uses local ingredients like Big Ass garlic, baked goods from Windmill Bakery, eggs and vegetables from Grenville Farm and pork from Winding Fences farm.
A more sophisticated hotel choice for foodies is the Deerhurst Resort, also near Huntsville, where executive chef Rory Golden produces his own honey and maple syrup. Golden works with local producers like Milford Bay Trout Farm to create a smoked trout "cheesecake" or Ivanita Farm for his Highland beef striploin.
With 400 rooms and condos, three dining spaces, complete sports facilities and a tranquil lakefront setting, the century-old Deerhurst is considered the doyenne of Muskoka resorts. It will host the G8 conference, so it is off limits June 15-30 when world leaders will convene. The resort hosts the annual Muskoka Food & Drink festival, July 16-18. Art of grilling sessions will be led by barbecue chef Ted Reader.
A labyrinth of country roads snakes through Muskoka, winding around the bustling towns, skirting the lakes and water, and linking villages and farms.
Everyone's first stop along the Savour Muskoka trail should be the Old English Cookie and Fudge Company in Gravenhurst; it's guaranteed to sweeten the experience. Henny and Randy Brown bake 40 flavours of fudge, including key lime pie fudge, Kahlua mudslide and rum-and-eggnog.
Leaving Muskoka's main thoroughfare, Route 11, head northwest along Route 169 for about 20 kilometres to Bala, Ontario's cranberry capital. At Johnston's Cranberry Marsh and Muskoka Lakes Winery, you can load up on tangy preserves, juice and wine. The farm is a busy place, open daily for tours, hiking, children's activities and wine tastings.
It's a 15-minute drive north from Bala to Port Carling, a waterfront village where tiny shops and cute cafes line the main street. The Segwun, a 99-passenger cruise ship, is an enduring symbol of Muskoka, a vintage coal-fired steamer that squeezes through Port Carling's locks and past the drawbridge at the heart of town. The 2010 Muskoka Lakes Association Antique Boat Show (Aug. 7) will focus on Race Boats of Muskoka and feature beauties from the 1920s to the 1940s.

The first and most crucial step in executing any project is selecting the right resources. Therefore, it becomes important that managers pick the appropriate resources based on their team or organization's skill set. A resource management tool can automate this step and helps project managers make quick decisions while optimizing employee staffing.
In this guide, we'll cover the ins and out of a new breed of project management software: resource management software. A growing number of vendors are now offering these tools, which focus on employee skills and availability, within their project management platforms.
Here's what you need to know:
What Is Resource Management Software?
Common Functionality of Resource Management Software
What Type of Buyer Are You?
Benefits of Resource Management Software
Key Considerations for Resource Management Software
Resource management software is a type of project management software. It allows organizations to track the availability of their employees, identify what skills they have and schedule them for projects accordingly. Resource management tools are typically used by larger organizations, which have a greater need to optimize employee workloads and identify which workers are best suited for certain projects.
For example, a large software development firm might use resource management software to help select a team of front-end, back-end and full-stack developers, who each have unique skill sets, to work on a big project. This eliminates the busywork of manually trying to identify and schedule the right people for the job.
Here are some common capabilities you can expect to find in most resource management tools:
|Skills and availability tracking
|This important tool allows users to find employees with certain skills who are available at certain times and assign work to them. This relies on users inputting employee schedules and workflows and creating a profile that lists their relevant skills. For example, a project manager would use this functionality to find which back-end developers at her organization are available to tackle a side project in the coming month.
|Staffing forecasting
|Allows organizations to plan for expected staffing needs in the future by collecting internal data regarding sales, product development, product launches etc., then making recommendations based on that data. For example, if higher sales are expected in the coming quarter, the system would recommend hiring a certain number of sales reps.
|Knowledge base
|Some platforms will include a library of white papers and community channels to help human resources and project managers better understand what types of workers they'll need for technical positions. These might contain easy-to-understand explanations of technical skills and roles that help managers know what to look for when hiring.
|Request automation
|This tool simplifies the process of selecting teams for particular assignments by automatically searching for and identifying suitable employees, based on their skills and availability.
|Document template
|Enable team managers to streamline the repetitive work of managing resources. You can use a previously used template that features all the required tasks and resources for the new project. This template eliminates the need to re-enter all the details again and again.
|Timesheet management
|Allows users to track the actual time spent by an individual on a particular project. Managers can also calculate the overtime of each project. An optional feature of automatic notification can also be included in the tool that notifies the managers when any of their team members log in to the system.
In general, resource management platforms are best suited for large organizations that have more than 500 employees. However, smaller companies in software development, engineering or other highly technical fields can still get a lot of use out of resource management tools. Companies with fewer than 500 employees that aren't in a highly technical field can generally get by with a traditional project management suite.
In general, here are the biggest benefits you will see from using resource management software at your organization:
Here are a few other things to keep in mind as you evaluate resource management software:
Our service is simple and 100% free to customers like you because software vendors pay us when we connect them with quality leads. You save time and get great advice. Vendors get great referrals. It's a win for everyone!

Dr. Edythe Abdullah, Mrs. Toni Crawford, Mr. Justin Damiano, Mr. Wilfredo Gonzalez, Mrs. Wanyonyi Kendrick, Dr. Chip Klostermeyer, Dr. Bruce Taylor, Mrs. Carol Thompson, Mr. Kevin Twomey
Mr. Luther Coggin, Mrs. Ann Hicks, Mrs. Joan Newton
Chair Taylor called the meeting to order and asked President Delaney to speak about Item 1A.
President Delaney introduced three guests from the University of Belize, stating that UNF's relationship with the University of Belize had been a wonderful marriage for a number of years, resulting in about 800 UNF alums living in Belize. He offered appreciation for the University of Belize administrators for the visit.
Chair Taylor said the Board planned to make it customary for faculty and staff to speak about activities ongoing within the University. He introduced Dr. Robert Wood, Dean, Continuing Education, and asked him to speak about Continuing Education's recent successes.
Dr. Wood offered appreciation for this opportunity. He stated that he felt it was critical for the University to have input and impact on the local economy and the residents of the community; therefore, it was the mission of the Division of Continuing Education to take the University into the local community to help serve training needs.
Dr. Wood spoke about programs within the Division of Continuing Education, including the Center for Economic and Workforce Development, the Center for Professional Development, and the Center for Leadership. He also spoke about Continuing Education's newest program, the Center for Lifelong Learning, which targeted active adults over the age of 50. He provided statistics for this program, stating that there were currently 30 courses taught per semester to about 350 participants. Plans were to grow this program to over 800 participants within the next three years.
Dr. Wood spoke about the Osher Foundation Grant, stating that the Lifelong Learning program received this grant within the first three months – faster than any other university. Original funding was $100,000 with $1-2 million possible within the next three years.
He added that the Center for Economic and Workforce Development would be the State's resource for Workforce Centers and community colleges.
Dr. Wood stated that UNF had partnered with the Chamber of Commerce to create world-class creative customer care programs for use at the Chamber. This program would also be used as a flagship customer service program to be used within the community.
After Dean Woods' presentations,Chair Taylor stated that the Board would like to honor one of its outgoing trustees who had served with great distinction, Mr. Justin Damiano. He spoke about Trustee Damiano, stating that he was a perfect example of what a Student Government president should be, as well as a student representative on the Board of Trustees. Trustee Damiano had served with respect and commitment to the mission of the Board and the University.
Trustee Damiano stated that he was fortunate to get to know all of the trustees. He offered appreciation to Chair Taylor for being a mentor and an amazing man of honor, courage and commitment.
Chair Taylor spoke about Dr. Terry MacTaggart's visit. He stated that Dr. MacTaggart was the outside consultant hired by the University. He stated that Dr. McTaggart met with various UNF constituencies and the visit was very successful. Dr. MacTaggart left with departing words, stating that UNF was holding something very special and was a good institution poised for greatness, should the University choose to pursue it.
Chair Taylor stated that Dr. MacTaggart's visit was enlightening and the results of his research were insightful. Dr. MacTaggart laid out a program for the University to engage in this year, consisting of three components:
This series of discussions should accomplish five things:
Chair Taylor thanked the Board for supporting this initiative, stating that is was important to incorporate the review process into the function of the Board. He stated that the Board hoped to initiate the program laid out by Dr. MacTaggart.
President Delaney offered appreciation to Trustee Damiano, stating that he had done so many unique things for UNF, all with amazing energy.
President Delaney referenced Dr. MacTaggart's report, stating that the great thing about UNF was that there wasn't anything broken and no impending disasters. He spoke about the Board vacancy, stating that the selection now rested with the BOG and the Chancellor. A decision would most likely not be made until the legislative session ended.
President Delaney informed the Board about the Student Government elections.
President Delaney updated the Board on the legislative session, stating that there was much good news for UNF. He spoke about the following items:
Trustee Abdullah asked if the legislative session's decision on First Generation Scholarship Fund would affect Sheriff Nat Glover's initiative. President Delaney stated that this initiative was funded internally and any funds received beyond that would be bonus money. He stated that the Mayor had committed to funding this initiative at a high level but the decisions from the legislative session might impact that decision.
President Delaney brought the Board up-to-date on the AOL building (UNF Hall), stating that the transition was in progress and trailers would be removed by July 1st.
There were no open comments.
Chair Taylor stated that Item 5Bi, Bachelor of Science in Sign Language, would be pulled from the consent agenda for further discussion. All items on the consent agenda other than 5Bi, passed unanimously.
Trustee Abdullah stated that she would like to engage in a small discussion regarding the Bachelor of Science in Sign Language. She stated that FCCJ had worked in collaboration with UNF to develop a degree program in sign language, with the completed degree from FCCJ being transferable to UNF. She stated that the program description did not mention this collaborative effort.
Provost Workman stated that the University would add a statement to the program description to include this collaborative effort – the agreement would be honored. Chair Taylor echoed Provost Workman's comments, stating that the University would make the revisions and acknowledge all of Dr. Abdullah's points.
Trustee Abdullah stated that this acknowledgment was acceptable and the agenda item could be returned to the table for approval.
Chair Taylor asked for approval of the Bachelor of Science in Sign Language. A motion was offered, seconded and approved unanimously.
Chair Taylor asked Committee Chair Twomey to speak about this item.
Committee Chair Twomey stated that this item was approved by UNF's Financing Corporation. There was also a motion for approval from the Finance and Audit Committee to the Board of Trustees at their April 23rd meeting. The resolution was to borrow 40 percent of the funds needed to finance the Student Union building.
Chair Taylor asked for question or comments, and upon receiving none, he asked for a second to the motion approved by the Finance and Audit Committee. A second was offered and the motion was approved unanimously.
Chair Taylor asked Vice President Shuman to speak about this item. Vice President Shuman stated that, at this time, this item was up for discussion only.
Vice President Shuman took a moment to speak about rating agencies, stating that last week two rating agencies visited UNF, Moody's and Standards & Poor's. Both agencies were impressed with UNF, stating that ratings on bonds would be very favorable.
Vice President Shuman spoke about debt guidelines, approved at a previous Board meeting, stating that the BOG considered these to be more than guidelines when approving debt. The Student Union building had delivered exactly what the BOG wanted, including a level revenue source and a 1.20 x coverage to cover debt service payments. She stated that the Student Union building should be received positively by the BOG at their June meeting.
Vice President Shuman spoke about bonding for student housing, stating that this proposal did not meet as many of the criteria as the Student Union proposal but various alternatives would be presented to BOG staff. She stated that it was the University's goal to get the student housing proposal passed by the BOG at their June meeting. A complete proposal would be presented to the Finance and Audit Committee at their May meeting.
Vice President Shuman said that the student housing proposal was in accordance with the University's master plan. The project would cost $86 million which included $9 million for infrastructure, including the construction of a road, parking improvements, extension of water and wastewater lines, and the construction of raised boardwalks across wetland areas. She stated that the project would include approximately 366,000 square feet, containing about 1,000 beds.
Vice President Shuman spoke about the University's current housing status, stating that current housing was built for 2,000 students, but now had 2,450 students in residence. There were about 1,200 students in triple occupancy and 200 more on a waiting list. There was no concern that the additional 1,000 units would not be occupied.
Vice President Shuman discussed housing rates, stating that the current rate for The Villages was $2,450 – a 4 percent inflation for the next few years would raise this rate to $2,600. The new facilities would rent for $2,700 (a pro forma was provided in the meeting materials).
Vice President Shuman stated that the University was working diligently to get the best deal but the debt guidelines did not allow for flexibility. The BOG did understand the University's position and they were working with UNF to come up with an acceptable strategy.
Trustee Abdullah offered appreciation to Vice President Shuman for her clear and concise presentation, stating that every opportunity had been made to apprise trustees of the student housing proposal.
This item was for information only. No motion was required.
Chair Taylor asked Committee Chair Crawford to speak about this item.
Committee Chair Crawford asked Provost Workman to speak about this item.
Provost Workman referenced Dr. MacTaggart's observations about UNF, stating that the University had an opportunity to pursue greatness and the flagship programs headed the University in that direction. Four programs were identified and there was evidence that the funding was providing a means to move the programs from good to great.
Provost Workman stated that the Community-Based Nursing Program demonstrated a commitment to the University's mission. The program also had an impact on the outcome of the quest to establish a Doctor of Nursing Practice. He commented about a certificate of commendation received by the students in the Community Nursing Program, stating that this was further evidence of the benefits of flagship funding.
Provost Workman stated that subsequent to the Community-Based Nursing Program, three additional programs were chosen. The Transportation and Logistic Program was highly regarded nationally, ranking as the 13th strongest program in the nation in that field. Flagship funding would facilitate real advancement in that area.
Provost Workman stated that the International Business Program was gaining traction as a result of additional funding. Part of the flagship funding would be utilized to expand foreign languages – this would be for the betterment of the whole University.
Provost Workman spoke about the fourth program, the Coastal Biology Program, stating that there was evidence that funding was critical in recruiting and hiring a new director, Dr. Courtney Hackney, to the University. He asked Chair Taylor to speak about Dr. Hackney. Chair Taylor stated that he and Dr. Hackney served on national advisory boards to the Army Corp of Engineers and that Dr. Hackney was a distinguished coastal biologist with experience as an advisor to the Army program. Chair Taylor stated that Dr. Hackney had proven experience in mentoring junior faculty and was eager to collaborate with the faculty at UNF. Provost Workman stated that none of this could have happened without flagship funding.
Provost Workman stated that the University had received three proposals for the current year and opted not to fund any of these. The University planned to reconsider selection criteria. With the President's approval, the University would move to a different system in identifying programs – a rolling admissions timeline.
Provost Workman provided a summary, stating that the Flagship Program was gaining traction and continuing with the purpose the President envisioned. The University hoped to establish somewhere around 8 to 10 programs.
Trustee Kendrick asked for clarification regarding the amount of time required from faculty to ensure a sound program – was that time classified as research and did the University fund this? Provost Workman stated that faculty were rewarded for pursuing excellence. There was no question that preparing a flagship proposal was a product of commitment and devotion. The payoff for this effort would be that their program would receive flagship status and subsequently, the resources to use in strategic ways – their own interests being a significant motivation.
Trustee Kendrick asked for clarification regarding an established flagship program – would the extra work be accounted for? Provost Workman stated that the University would be reviewing programs on a regular basis to make sure they met benchmarks and administrative costs – teaching and research time would also be evaluated.
Provost Workman asked Dr. Li Loriz, Chair of the Nursing Department, to speak about established flagship programs. Dr. Loriz stated that each program included funding to cover administrative costs, teaching and research time. She stated that partnerships were established with the community as a result of flagship status and these partnerships contributed to the program as well. She stated that faculty proposals for research were also being funded as a result of the flagship status.
Provost Workman stated that another impact of the Flagship Program was that faculty would have more time to develop grant programs which would include more opportunity for students.
Chair Taylor stated that he would like to commend the University for not creating a new program just for the sake of creating one – flagship status should be meaningful. He commended all on establishing a rigorous symmetric system of evaluation, stating that the five-year limit (reference meeting materials) placed on programs gave the University the opportunity to evaluate each program to see if it warranted being continued.
Trustee Abdullah commended the University on resisting the urge to do too many things too fast and not doing any of them very well. The approach with the Flagship Program was very laudable, deep and excellent. Provost Workman stated that the efforts to refine the criteria would further that end.
This item was for information only. No further action was required.
Committee Chair Taylor asked Vice President Shuman to speak about items 9A,B,C,D,E and 9F.
Vice President Shuman stated that there had been technology equipment missing from classrooms. Insurance had been collected in the amount of $11,000 to cover some of this stolen equipment. Security devices were installed and an arrest had been made. There were no further incidents.
Vice President Shuman stated that all comments and questions were related to the implementation of the new student system. All comments and questions and had been corrected and students were assessed appropriately.
Vice President Shuman referenced the Florida Bright Futures Audit, stating that this audit had not been included on the agenda because the University had not received any comments or questions regarding this audit.
Vice President Shuman that this audit was as of June 30, 2006 and all comments had been reviewed previously by the Finance and Audit Committee. Appropriate adjustments had been made and were one-time in nature.
Vice President Shuman stated that this report provided a summary of where the University was in regards to major campus projects. She provided a brief video presentation, showing what the new student housing project would look like. She stated that the change orders were included in the meeting materials.
Vice President Shuman stated that this report was as of the end of February 2007, with 63 percent of the budget being spent. This was compared to 67 percent for the same time last year. She stated that there were no financial issues for this year or last year. There were no State call-backs and no auxiliary issues. She spoke about a new report included in the meeting materials which included transfers from reserves.
Chair Taylor stated that, at some point, he would like to know what dollars were in the budget for graduate students and how many graduate students the University had. Vice President Shuman stated that some of this information would be provided at the upcoming budget hearings; however, the University had provided $100,000 for graduate marketing to increase enrollment.
Vice President Shuman stated that the University had used three different investment vehicles but it was too early to see which vehicle would be the best in the long run.
President Delaney stated that he had covered everything at the beginning of the meeting and thanked the trustees for their critical thinking and time given to these Board meetings.
Chair Taylor asked if there were any further comments. Trustee Gonzalez asked for an update on University security – in light of the Virginia Tech event. President Delaney stated that the University was in the process of reviewing security and mental health resources. He stated that a status report would be prepared regarding mental health resources and security.
Trustees asked for an update on the sanctuary. President Delaney stated that the architect had been selected and the University was now shopping for donors.
The meeting was adjourned.

LOVE THIS TOON! You've gotta adore how the stage backdrops in this are made to actually look like they were sloppily painted.
Single, messy brush strokes and a messy web of "leaves". It's a very funny touch.
