You can see the pattern here:
I cut size 2 for my DD.
Fabric: Denim
The pattern: It is very well drafted. The only alteration I made was to lengthen the dress with about 3". The dress has details but is easy to make. The authors of the pattern also offer you EXTENSIVE instructions (they actually come in a booklet) and options of how to make various looks from the same pattern pieces.
I love the dress and I will be making it more for spring/summer as it renders itself to lighter-weight fabrics.

Topic: A Russian Moment
A rare snowfall blankets the Livadia Palace in the Crimea. The Russian Imperial family along with members of Russia's aristocratic and noble families favoured the region for its Mediterranean climate and stunning natural beauty. It was here that they built beautiful palaces and elegant mansions overlooking the Black Sea. When the Revolution swept across Russia, it was the isolation of the region that allowed many of them to escape the advancing Red Terror into exile.

The spring breakers clog the sidewalks in the Pinecraft neighborhood of Sarasota, but do so without the bikinis, sandals and party mentality.
Pinecraft, about five miles west of Interstate 75, is ground zero for a different kind of spring break. For years, it has been a favored destination for thousands of Amish and Mennonite snowbirds who travel in charter buses from Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania and other northern spots to unwind when the winter weather makes farming impossible.
From December through April, the prospect of Sarasota's snow-free sun attracts roughly 5,000 Amish and Mennonite visitors to a part of town that began as a tourist camp in the 1920s.
Sidewalks along the main thoroughfare of Bahia Vista Street are traveled by tourists in traditional wardrobe: bearded men in black, broad-brimmed hats, women in long dresses, their heads covered with white bonnets. The popular mode of transportation is three-wheeled bicycles adorned with orange caution flags.
Two restaurants serve home-style dishes such as broasted chicken, green beans and delicious desserts. Based on word-of-mouth recommendation, I stopped at Der Dutchman for the lunchtime Barn-Raising Buffet, with its soups, sandwiches, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, salad bar and desserts.
The business district also includes another restaurant, part of Yoder's Amish Village (yodersrestaurant.com). Yoder's also features a produce market, deli and gift shop. The latter is the closest that Pinecraft comes to catering to tourists, offering souvenirs such as Amish cookbooks, quilts, aprons, handmade baskets, decorative saw blades and gourds as well as children's dolls and wooden toys.
Outside of the gift shop, Pinecraft isn't exactly Amish World. The residents are courteous, but not outgoing, such as the man who offered me directions to the local gathering spot at Pinecraft Park. With shuffleboard courts that are active almost daily (except Sundays), the park is nestled in the midst of one of the quiet residential neighborhoods.
With narrow streets lined with cottages and old Florida homes, the mood was peaceful, except for the clatter of spirited games on the shuffleboard court.
To borrow a line from Weird Al Yankovic, it looked like Amish paradise.

Squadron Leader Veer Pratap Singh (Shahrukh Khan) is a rescue pilot with the Indian Air Force. In the line of duty he comes across a stranded Zaara (Preity Zinta)... a girl from Pakistan who has come to India to fulfill her surrogate mothers dying wish. Veer saves her life and his life is never the same again.
Twenty two years later Saamia Siddiqui (Rani Mukerji), a Pakistani human rights lawyer on her first case, finds herself face to face with an aging Veer Pratap Singh. He has languished in a Pakistan jail cell for 22 years and has not spoken to anyone all these years. And no one knows why. Her mission is to discover the truth about Veer and see to it that justice is served.
VEER-ZAARA is a saga of love, separation, courage and sacrifice. A love that is divine, a love that is whole-hearted, a love that is completely consuming, a love that grows with separation & deepens with sacrifice. A love that is an inspiration... and will remain a legend forever.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — C.J. Leslie spent most of the first half in a fog. He stepped into the spotlight just in time.
Leslie scored all 19 of his points in the final 23 minutes to lead No. 23 North Carolina State to an 84-68 victory over Western Michigan on Saturday.
"He played pretty good," N.C. State coach Mark Gottfried said. "I don't want him to flip the switch. I want him to play that way all the time."
Richard Howell added 18 points on 8-of-8 shooting for the Wolfpack (10-2), who won their sixth consecutive game.
N.C. State committed a season-low eight turnovers and shot 55 percent from the field, padding its NCAA-leading field goal percentage.
T.J. Warren scored 15 points, Scott Wood had 11 and Lorenzo Brown added 10 for the Wolfpack.
Leslie had 14 points, six rebounds and three steals after halftime.
"It was just me realizing that I'm a leader on the team and that I had to pick it up," Leslie said. "That was it. The first half, I had to pick it up. I said it to myself, and that's what I had to do."
Nate Hutcheson scored 16 points to lead the Broncos (8-5), who shot 36 percent. Shayne Whittington added 14 points and Darius Paul had 12 for Western Michigan.
The Wolfpack built a 43-36 halftime lead, shooting 60 percent from the field behind a 7-for-7 effort from Howell.
The Broncos pulled within 43-38 early in the second half, but they got no closer. N.C. State used a 12-2 run to take a 62-44 lead with 11 minutes remaining.
"I thought the difference between the first half and the second half was North Carolina State's defense," Western Michigan coach Steve Hawkins said. "They picked up the pressure a lot more and took us out of rhythm a little bit."
N.C. State scored at least 80 points and shot better than 50 percent from the field for the fifth straight game.
Howell scored 10 of the Wolfpack's first 16 points, shaking off a foul-plagued, scoreless outing a week before against St. Bonaventure.
Howell left the game against Western Michigan with an injury to his left ankle early in the second half, but he returned less than 3 minutes later.
"Of all the teams we've played so far — and we've played some pretty good teams -- if there's a player I could take off of any of those teams, it would be Howell," Hawkins said. "I just love the way that kid plays. He's a beast."
Western Michigan hung tough early on the strength of its offensive rebounding, outscoring the Wolfpack 16-6 on second-chance points in the first half.
N.C. State gained its cushion after a spurt by Leslie.
Leslie went to the bench with 9:18 remaining in the first half after Western Michigan scored for the fourth time on a putback, exchanging some angry words with Gottfried.
"That's part of the game," Leslie said. "I don't know any player whose coach hasn't yelled at him. That just comes with it."
Leslie returned to the game at the 3:35 mark with the score tied at 32.
He delivered a three-point play on N.C. State's next possession to spark a 9-0 run, then capped the spurt by reaching a career milestone in unusual fashion.
Leslie came up with a steal in the open court and dribbled toward the basket. He slowed to gather himself for a windmill dunk, and Hutcheson caught up and hacked him on the arm. Official Roger Ayers checked the courtside monitor to see if the foul was flagrant, but he kept it a common foul.
Leslie made both free throws to give the Wolfpack a 41-32 lead, becoming the 46th player in N.C. State history to score 1,000 points.
After that, he took over the game.
"He was a lot more active," Gottfried said. "As the game wore on, he's blocking shots, getting rebounds, running the floor. It's a different player. He's got to play that way all the time."

4) Demographics
Demography is destiny, and like cancer, demographic population changes are becoming a silent growth killer. Numerous studies and common sense logic point to the inevitable conclusion that when an economic society exceeds a certain average "age" then demand slows. Typically the dynamic cohort of an economy is its 20 to 55-year-old age group. They are the ones who form households, have families and gain increasing experience and knowhow in their jobs. Now, however, almost all developed economies, including the U.S., are gradually aging and witnessing a larger and larger percentage of their adult population move past the critical 55-year-old mark. This means several things for economic growth: First of all from the supply side, it means productivity and employment growth rates will slow. From the demand side, it suggests a greater emphasis on savings and reduced consumption. Those approaching their seventh decade need fewer cars and new homes as shown in Chart 2. Almost none of them have babies (thank goodness!). Such low birth rates and a significant reduction in demand have imperiled Japan for several lost decades now. A similar experience will likely turn many developed economy "boomers" into "busters" within the next several years.
Investment Conclusions I'm fond of reminding PIMCO's Investment Committee that you can't buy GDP futures – at least not yet. Hypotheses about real growth rates, no matter how accurate, must be translated into investment decisions in order to justify the discussion. Before doing so, let me acknowledge that these structural headwinds can and will likely be somewhat countered by positive thrusts. Cheaper natural gas and the possibility of reversing or even containing the 40-year upward trend of energy costs may be a boon to productivity and therefore growth. There is talk of the U.S. being energy independent within a decade's time. Housing as well may be experiencing a multi-year revival. In addition, unforeseen productivity breakthroughs may be just over the horizon. How many gloomsters could have forecast the Internet or any other technical breakthrough before it actually happened? Jules Verne we are not. But if a 2% or lower real growth forecast holds for most of the developed world over the foreseeable future, then it is clear that there will be investment consequences. Shown below, as recently published in a TIME Magazine article by Rana Foroohar, is a PIMCO list of future Picks and Pans based upon these ongoing structural changes:
- Commodities like Oil and Gold
- U.S. Inflation-Protected Bonds
- High-Quality Municipal Bonds
- Non-Dollar Emerging-Market Stocks
- Long-Dated Developed-Country Bonds in the U.S., U.K. and Germany
- High-Yield Bonds
- Financial Stocks of Banks and Insurance Companies
The list to a considerable extent reflects the view that emerging economy growth will continue to be higher than that of developed countries. Their debt on average will remain much lower, and their demographic age much younger. In addition, the inevitable policy response of developed economies to slower growth will be to reflate in order to minimize the impact of the aforementioned structural headwinds. If successful, reflationary policies will gradually move 10- to 30-year yields higher over the next several years. The 30-year Treasury hit its secular low of 2.50% in July and such a yield may seem ludicrous a decade hence. Investors should expect future annualized bond returns of 3–4% at best and equity returns only a few percentage points higher. As John Lennon forewarned, it is getting harder to be someone, and harder to maintain the economic growth that investors have become accustomed to. The New Normal, like Strawberry Fields will "take you down" and lower your expectation of future asset returns. It may not last "forever" but it will be with us for a long, long time.

I had posted this photo of the Finnestad family taken about 1870 in Norway and recently* located the original, which is slightly clearer than the one I posted in March 2010.
My original guess as to the names was correct, other than Rachel and Mary which I had switched around. The correct positions are:
Back row: Bert, Mary, Rasmus, Ole Jr, twins Iverdine and Bertha
Front row: Rachel, Ole Sr, Mari and Serina (Sarah)
Mari and Ole's eldest child, Elizabeth had married Ole Andreas Knutson in 1864 and had moved away so unfortunately was not included in the photo.
My guess is that the photo was taken just before Iverdine and Rachel left Stavanger in May 1871 and moved to the United States.

I buy into the hype as often as everyone else. I get convinced that a camera like the D800 or the newest Canon is an amazing leap forward and that I'll need to rush right out and get one or my competitors will trample me into a puddle of non-commercially dysfunctional goo and my career will grind to a bitter halt. I'll be the Willy Lohman of photography.
I guess this insecurity with our cameras comes from many of us regarding them as little computers, bound intractably by Moore's Law. That every 18 months the value, speed, coolness and everything else about new cameras will be double what it was before. And that may be true of some of the processors inside, but.....
So there I was this morning, walking into the Austin Kipp School campus with my latest and greatest cameras getting ready to set the world on fire with 24 megapixels of hyperventilating coolness when I was stopped in my tracks. Just kinda paralyzed in place by a visual smack on the head.
You see, I'd done a job for them about seven years ago and they'd printed it large. How large? The smallest image was about four feet by five feet. The images were printed on a Lightjet printer by one of the best labs in the country and mounted on one inch thick GatorFoam. And the school hung the images all through the entryway and lobby of the school. They were stunning. Incredibly sharp. No obvious noise (especially at the viewing distance required by such big prints..) and tonality to die for.
My ability to process files that well is non-existent, I'd sent the lab raw files back then, knowing that their lab software, costing thousands of dollars, would do a much better job on the images then me running them through PhotoShop or a similar, consumer raw processor. (which makes me think the raw conversion software has improved a lot more than the cameras....).
It took me a moment to remember which camera I used to shoot the images up on the walls. Judging from the prints I imagined it might have been a medium format camera with a Leaf back I used to use from time to time, in the past. Then I remembered. They'd all been shot with a Kodak DCS 760C camera. A whopping six megapixels on an APS-H sensor. I'd given the camera as much of a head start as I could. I used the lowest ISO which was 80. I used a tripod for every shot. I used a Nikon 105mm f2 DC lens at it's optimum aperture range (f4-5.6) and I used Profoto Electronic flash equipment in a big softbox. No issues with subject or camera movement, etc.
I also did my set up tests tethered to a computer in order to make sure the exposure was right on the money. The camera's rear LCD screens at the time were almost useless for fine tuning exposure...
When I walked into the school today I walked right up to one of the big prints. It's of an African American teenager holding a microscope and staring into the camera with calm self-confidence. I can't think of a better way to make that image today, even with "better" gear. It's as perfect as I think I could make it.
In light of this I have to laugh at myself, my friends and all the people on the web who create so much self-inflicted anxiety in their quest for the latest and greatest cameras. Yes, the new Canon 5D3 will shoot better in lower light but we needed the lighting not for the photons but for the direction and style and look. The light from the ceiling mounted fluorescent bulbs wouldn't have the same feel. Yes, the Nikon D4 would smoke the AF of the DCS 760 but then my subjects were all standing still in the glow of my modeling lights and focus just wasn't an issue. The fact of the matter is that manufacturers have made shooting easier but not necessarily better. Let me explain that for engineers and their surrounding Umpa Lumpas of high tech. The camera makers made all the stuff you could measure "better" but they aren't in charge of manufacturing the art. We add that. And in the end, once you've crossed a certain line of quality or have the discipline to work in the sweet spot of the tools, all the mechanical and electronic stuff melts away and it comes down to how well you can direct, light and motivate your subject. The camera, in many ways, becomes nothing but an afterthought.
If you see the camera work before the art then the photograph has already failed and all the extra pixels in the world won't make a difference. When Joe McNally shot a spread for Nat. Geo. with a Nikon D1x (5 megs.) he broke the acceptance of digital barrier for everyone else working in print. Since then countless great images have been done with 6 megapixel cameras and, at the 2000 Olympics, most of the shooters were using 4 megapixel Canons and 2.7 megapixel Nikons. The pictures were stunning. The world gasped. No one asked for more. The artists had done their work...
This post is partially to answer a reader who asked if the Nikon D2X was really such a good camera or, only good for the time. Yes.

Given the screw-job the senate Democrats did to everyone who voted for change by their
sucking up to Joe Lieberman
, it was refreshing to see the person I voted for in 2006 on the airwaves today...

Remember the Internet when it was young back in 2000?
This was during the forum and message board heyday, when your parents and grandparents didn't even have an email address. This also happens to be an inflection point for retail investors.
For the first time in history, the average person finally had access to the same info as Wall Street analysts.
It was during this time that Wall Street, the SEC and regular investors just like us were having a tough time trying to deal with securities laws that were not equipped for the good old days of the Yahoo! Finance message boards. In this previous world, Jonathan Lebed, 15-year-old investor, logged on and began to first day trade stocks.
He had a brokerage account opened by his mother, and used it to build positions in microcap stocks. Then he went to the message boards and hyped those same stocks.
Just like a younger version of the Wolf of Wall Street, Lebed managed to trade all the way to nearly $1 million before the SEC stepped in and got involved.
The story is filled with conundrums. Is the trading world really set up for the pros to prosper on Wall Street? When does an anonymous 15-year-old message board poster turn into a master manipulator of the markets?
13 years ago this month, New York Times posted an article in February 2001, discussing the absurdity and complexity of online day trading yesterday and today:
By the Spring of 1998, Jonathan was 13, and his ambitions were growing. He had glimpsed the essential truth of the market: that even people who called themselves professionals are often incapable of independent thought and that most people, though obsessed with money, have little ability to make decisions about it. He knew what he was doing, or thought he did. He had learned to find everything he wanted to know about a company on the Internet; what he couldn't find, he ran down in the flesh. It became part of Connie Lebed's life to drive her son to various corporate headquarters to make sure they existed. He also persuaded her to open an account with Ameritrade. "He'd done so well with the stock contest, I figured, Let's see what he can do," Connie said.
Be an Investing in Business Predator
Billionaire investor Warren Buffett encourages individual investors to buy into low-cost index funds with high diversified stock exposure. This is a long-term strategy, and it seems pretty smart. Plus, it's coming directly from the mouth of the Oracle of Omaha!
Buffett himself does not quite follow this exact approach.
His overall success came because he heavily invested in a small group of companies and held onto those stocks forever. If you take a look at the latest Berkshire Hathaway holdings as proof, you'll see that it doesn't quite compare to the S&P 500.
Billionaire Ted Turner did not diversify at all while building what eventually became Time Warner Cable and Time Warner. Same goes for Giovanni Agnelli, the founder of Fiat; John Paulson, hedge fund billionaire; Sam Walton, Walmart founder, and many other very successful tycoons, investors and business owners.
But the lack in diversity among the successful people does not mean to imply that you should take serious risks. As a matter of fact, according to a Malcolm Gladwell article in a 2010 The New Yorker issue, these stories of success are often characterized by a tremendous lack of risk. This is a serious lesson worth its salt for small and large investors alike:
The entrepreneur has access to that deal by virtue of occupying a "structural hole," a niche that gives him a unique perspective on a particular market. Villette and Vuillermot go on, "The businessman looks for partners to a transaction who do not have the same definition as he of the value of the goods exchanged, that is, who undervalue what they sell to him or overvalue what they buy from him in comparison to his own evaluation." He moves decisively. He repeats the good deal over and over again, until the opportunity closes, and — most crucially — his focus throughout that sequence is on hedging his bets and minimizing his chances of failure. The truly successful businessman, in Villette and Vuillermot's telling, is anything but a risk-taker. He is a predator, and predators seek to incur the least risk possible while hunting.
And the Takeaway is?
The two pieces of the puzzle presented provide serious insight as to what's necessary to become a successful investor. First off, the short-term, day trading investing style is a game rigged for you to fail as a retail investor. That system was created to eat up all of your returns with commissions and fees, plus the short-term market movements aren't based on real business prospects and analyses, but more like the market forces that you have no control over and cannot predict.
To be a true predator, and to really win the game of money in business, you have to play on a level playing field. You have to take the time to research your investments, understand a company's future prospects and their fundamentals. When you truly find a special, undervalued company ready for long-term success, you should pounce. You have found your prey, so be the predator that you are.

The 'deadlock' mutex ensures that there is never be more than one session checking for a deadlock situation at any given time. Whenever some lock is requested due to the LOCK MODE set to WAIT [seconds] statement used by a session, the code for deadlock checking get executed.
The deadlock checking code
starts with marking all the sessions in the instance with an internal flag
saying 'not in deadlock'. Then it walks through the list of all the locks held
by the current session (including the newly requested one) and for each lock it
identifies whether there are some sessions waiting for it. If such a session
(called waiter) is found, its internal flag changed to 'deadlock candidate' and
the waiter added into the so called 'deadlock list'. Each of the waiters in
this list is then checked in the same way - the code checks whether any of the
waiters holds any lock the current session is waiting for. If such a lock is
found a deadlock is detected.
Each execution of the deadlock checking code depends on a consistent state of the internal 'deadlock' flag in each session. In other words there can't be more sessions checking for the deadlock at the same time, as they would overwrite that internal flag mutually. To ensure this, each session has to acquire the 'deadlock' mutex before the deadlock checking code can be executed and release it once the deadlock detection is finished.

WILMINGTON, N.C. (May 18, 2010) - ETSU sophomore Nina Muehl (Vienna, Austria) opened play Tuesday in the NCAA Championships, posting a first round score of 5-over-par 77 to finish tied for 87th on the individual leaderboard at the Country Club of Landfall.
Muehl, who is ranked 59th nationally and is the first-ever ETSU woman golfer to participate in the championships, still has three more rounds to make up ground in the finals. After watching her post an NCAA-best 64 last week in the NCAA regionals, ETSU head coach Stefanie Shelton is not concerned about Muehl's ability to bounce back.
"Nina didn't hit as many greens as she is used to today, but she had a great practice after playing and is ready for what tomorrow brings," ETSU head coach Stefanie Shelton said. "After last week, she knows how great it feels when it all comes together and she is striving for that each day. She will get another chance tomorrow."
Muehl started the event on the back nine, posting three pars to open before a double bogey at the 13th and a bogey on the 14th put her at 3-over. Another pair of pars was followed by another bogey on the 17th, but she birdied her final hole on the front nine to post a 39. On her second nine, Muehl was more consistent but a pair of bogeys on the 3rd and 7th holes left her with a 38 to finish at 77 on the day.
The first round lead was shared by three players who posted 5-under-par 67. No. 3-ranked Jennifer Song of Southern California, No. 7 Jennifer Johnson on Arizona State and No. 20 Maude-Aimee LeBlanc are all at the top of the leaderboard.
Second round action will begin again early Wednesday morning. Fans can stay up-to-date with Muehl's progress by visiting Golfstat.com for live scoring, and ETSUBucs.com will provide a complete wrap up after each day's action.

Chair Taylor will call the meeting to order.
Chair Taylor will address the Board and present the Chair's Report.
President Delaney will address the Board and present the President's Report.
Chair Taylor will offer opportunity for open comments concerning items on this agenda.
Chair Taylor will address the Board and present the consent agenda for approval.
Action – Approval – Motion and Second Required
This item is a discussion on the Presidential contract with Mr. Paul McConnell, a consultant hired by the Board of Trustees.
The purpose of this item is to seek acceptance of the report from Mr. Paul McConnell.
This item was discussed by the full Board at ~9:30 a.m., with unanimous acceptance.
The Board of Governors (BOG) has specified that "Each board of trustees shall prepare a multi-year work plan/report for the Board of Governors that outlines its university's top priorities, strategic directions, and specific actions and financial plans for achieving those priorities, as well as performance expectations and outcomes on institutional and system-wide goals. The work plan/report shall reflect the university's distinctive mission and focus on core institutional strengths within the context of State University System goals and regional and statewide needs."
request was reviewed by the Academic Affairs Committee and received a unanimous recommendation for approval by the full Board.
The purpose of this item is to submit, for approval, a proposed new degree program. Brooks College of Health, in collaboration with the Mayo School of Health Sciences (MSHS), proposes to establish a Bachelor of Science in Radiography. This degree will require 120 credit hours, 57 of which will be earned through Radiologic Technology courses. The program curriculum is designed to promote critical thinking, communication principles, knowledge, and expertise in radiography.
adiographers perform X-ray examinations on patients in a variety of clinical settings. Using their highly developed skills in human anatomy and patient care, radiographers prepare patients for X-rays, explain the examination, and position the patients for the procedure. The associate degree in radiography enables an entry level technologist to become certified, whereas the B.S. in Radiography will provide future radiographers with the capability to understand the complex science of advanced imaging technologies. As a result, students with a baccalaureate degree will be better prepared to handle advanced radiography techniques that will be necessary to support the increasing demands of the radiography field. Another advantage of the baccalaureate degree is the increased potential for career progression into administrative leadership positions within healthcare agencies.
Radiographers are in high demand throughout the United States and have numerous opportunities to work in a variety of health related settings including, but not limited to, hospitals, clinics, and doctors' offices. According to the American Society of Radiologic Technologists, a radiologic technology career "offers a promising future, job stability, and a good salary" (ASRT, 2013). Furthermore, with continuous advances in technology and an aging baby boomer population, the demand for exams and procedures using radiography continues to grow.
Need for this Degree:
Data projections indicate that radiologic technology as a whole is growing faster than average. According to the 2012-13 Occupational Outlook Handbook employment of radiologic technologists is expected to grow by 28 percent between 2010 and 2020 (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2013). Furthermore, the services provided by radiologic technologists are beginning to be shifted away from hospitals toward outpatient facilities which will increase the number of new jobs in physicians' offices and imaging centers.
he American Society of Radiologic Technologists estimates over 2,600 students could be accommodated in radiography programs. The mean number of qualified students turned away in radiography equaled 37.1 per program or a total estimate of 14,978.
to the expansion of services at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville and the anticipated retirement of employees in the Department of Radiology, a number of vacancies are expected. The Mayo Clinic wants to fill these vacancies with individuals holding a B.S. in Radiography. As a result, the Mayo Clinic has reached out to UNF to collaborate in the design and delivery of the B.S. in Radiography. Once the B.S. in Radiography is approved and implemented, the Mayo Clinic will cease to offer their Associate of Science program.
This r
equest was reviewed by the Academic Affairs Committee and received a unanimous recommendation for approval by the full Board.
This proposed program in Radiography requires limited access status due to the limitations on available clinical placements and qualified faculty. The program will be able to accommodate a maximum of 16 students per year.
request was reviewed by the Academic Affairs Committee and received a unanimous recommendation for approval by the full Board.
Under tenure by reason of appointment, distinguished faculty may be granted tenure upon being employed at UNF. The candidate must receive a positive vote from the tenured faculty in his or her disciplinary department.
UNF agrees to award tenure as a condition of appointment in order to be competitive in hiring these individuals. The Provost and President also conduct a thorough review of all candidates for tenure on appointment. Under these guidelines, the administration recommends approval of tenure, by reason of appointment, for Dr. John Kantner, Assistant Vice President for Research and Associate Professor of Anthropology.
This request was reviewed by the Academic Affairs Committee and received a unanimous recommendation for approval by the full Board.
This new regulation proposes to document the operating guidelines for hosting a camp or other similar program involving minors on campus, and a university-sponsored camp or other similar program involving minors at a site off-campus.
request was reviewed by the Finance and Audit Committee and received a unanimous recommendation for approval by the full Board.
Each year, Florida's public universities are required to submit a Fixed Capital Outlay Request to the Board of Governors for potential incorporation into the Board of Governors' budget request. At the same time, they are expected to submit a Five-Year Capital Outlay request.
The University of North Florida's Board of Trustees is charged with approving and submitting the PECO plan for the university in consultation with the President. The attached schedule shows UNF's proposed three-year and five-year capital requests (PECO). Each of the items included in this proposed request is consistent with the university's goals and master plan.
This request was reviewed by the Student Life and Facilities Committee and received a unanimous recommendation for approval by the full Board.
According to Florida Statutes, the Board of Trustees shall, each year, adopt a capital outlay budget for the upcoming year. This plan shall designate the proposed capital outlay expenditures by project from all fund sources. Attached is the Annual Capital Outlay Budget for Fiscal Year 2013-2014.
Regulation 9.0070R I. (1) provides for the Board of Trustees to approve the fines for citations, late fees and immobilization fees. The 2012-2013 Parking Council reviewed the parking citation fine amounts and recommended some changes.
request was reviewed by the Student Life and Facilities Committee and received a unanimous recommendation for approval by the full Board.
The UNF administration is recommending at 1.7 percent increase to in-state undergraduate and graduate tuition. This raises the per-credit-hour in-state tuition to $105.07 for undergraduate students, to $408.10 for graduate students and to $435.82 for nurse anesthetist and Doctor of Physical Therapy students.
The administration further recommends an equivalent decrease in out-of-state fees for out-of-state students in each of these categories.
Vice President Shuman will address the Board and present this item.
Action – Approval – Motion and Second Required
The purpose of this item is to present proposed amendments to the 2013-2014 tuition and fees regulation. The regulation will become effective upon approval of the Board of Trustees and the Board of Governors.
Each university board of trustees is required to approve the university budget prior to submission to the Florida Board of Governors and the Florida Legislature.
The UNF
budget was discussed at a workshop May 23. It is now being presented to the full Board for review and approval.
President Shuman will address the Board and present this item.
This item provides a listing of reports from the Academic Affairs Committee. Individual reports will be discussed as deemed appropriate by the committee chair or an individual Board member.
UNF is currently in discussion with Academic Partnerships to support our efforts at online educational offerings for specific high-demand programs. This partnership will allow UNF to increase enrollments in these programs and provide additional resources.
Len Roberson, Dean of the Graduate School and Assistant VP for Academic Technology will update the AAC on the AP partnership.
College Scheduler is a web-based class scheduling system for student use at colleges and universities. Students can build optimized class schedules that take into account their personal needs (work, athletics, leisure, etc.) Increases credit hours taken per student:
This item provides a listing of reports from the Finance and Audit Committee. Individual reports will be discussed as deemed appropriate by the committee chair or an individual Board member.
Miscellaneous fees, such as lab fees, material and supply fees, and other fees as authorized in Section 1009.24, Florida Statutes are delegated to the President. The Chair of the BOG Budget and Finance Committee has requested that the Board of Trustees review at least those fees that were increased as they are incorporated in the operating budget.
The purpose of this item is to present, for review, budgets for UNF's DSOs, including the (1) UNF Foundation, Inc., (2) UNF Training & Service Institute, Inc., (3) UNF Financing Corporation, Inc., and (4) MOCA, Jacksonville.
The purpose of this item is to present a report to the Board of Trustees for this quarter's activities in the Office of Internal Auditing.
This item provides a review of this quarter's budget report.
This item provides an overview of the current treasurer's report.
This item provides a listing of reports from the Student Life and Facilities Committee. Individual reports will be discussed as deemed appropriate by the committee chair or an individual Board member.
According to the Florida Senate – 2012, the Capital Improvement Trust Fund (CITF) fee is not to exceed 10 percent of the tuition for resident students or 10 percent of the sum of tuition and out-of-state fees for nonresident students. The CITF is to be used for certain projects or real property acquisitions. Also, it is required that the Division of Bond Finance of the State Board of Administration analyze any proposed fee reductions to the CITF; and that the Board of Governors approve any proposed fee reductions.
Each university is to establish a separate CITF fee and building fee at the main campus of the university. Also, each university is to establish a fee committee to recommend any increase in the fees and that committee is to be composed of students and members appointed by the university president. The university president is to approve committee recommendations, noting that an increase in fees may occur only once each fiscal year. The Board of Governors is to adopt regulations and timetables to implement the fees.
The University of North Florida is proposing an increase in the CITF of $2.00 per credit hour, which would create a total of $8.76 for resident students and non-resident students. The additional dollars will be used on recreational projects.
This item is provided as a quarterly report to the Board of Trustees and describes current progress on each project, funding sources, and any current issues, including change orders.
Board authorized the President or his designee to approve change orders in the name of the Board for pre-established amounts. Approvals are for the purpose of expediting the work in progress and are to be reported to the Board and entered into its official minutes.
Chair Taylor will adjourn the meeting.

The Shield Antivirus - ViRobot
The Shield Antivirus has a easy installer which you open and download right from the web site, this makes is easy and no effort to download and install. Installation went smoothed and no problems installing. The installation wizard is straight forward and just follow the steps. What is nice you have the option to update the definitions files and "no reboot" is necessary.
One of the major advantages of ViRobot is the low memory consumption on ones computer. My test pc is 4 years old and after rebooting I was holding at 94% resources, this is running my firewall and ViRobot. I have seen many antivirus software are bloated and a resource hog......but the shield is one of the lowest in resource consumption.
"Main Inteface"
The Shield main interface is well laid out easy to use for the novice and advanced user. The left side of the main window shows the folder tree where one can select a given folder to scan. There are 7 tabs at the top consisting of the following:
1.) Computer - You can select to scan Floppy,Local Drive,Compact Drive,All Drives or Running Process
2.) Mail Box - By default you can scan your pop3 inbox for virus's without opening the client. Also you can tweak the config of your mail client to suite your needs.
3.) Config Tab - This has numerous settings you can config to taylor your needs on your computer, easy to configure and understand.
4.) Monitoring - The Shields ViRobot resident scanner allows you to tweak the settings on start up and on scanning processes to meet your needs.
5.) Schedule - This is straight forward, ViRobot wizard will set up the times for you schedules scans.
6.) Update - Update tab is quick and easy to use, you can also configure settings
to update your signature files.
7.) Help - Very comprehensive and detailed to help you out on step by steps to configure The Shield to suite your needs.
"Scan Engine"
I was able to scan my C Drive in 25 minutes, ViRobot scan engine is very fast and unpacking was quick.
At this stage this needs to be researched and tested further. What samples I ran against ViRobot it detected them all..............however........... I recommend those that are interested in the Shield to test drive it yourself and form your own opinion.
I find the Shield Antivirus to be a effective protection against virus, trojan,and worms.

The book that the group is baking from now until September this year, is Cake Keeper Cakes by Lauren Chattman. A book brimming with lovely American cakes.
The chosen cake this month comes from the Crumb Cakes chapter and is a Coffee Heath Bar Crunch Cake. Now, some US coffee cakes don't have any coffee in them, but are meant to be served with a cup of coffee. This one actually does have a coffee sponge cake with a streusel topping on top. Grinding the coffee and Daim (Dime) Bars for chopping
I made a couple of substitutions, I can't take shakey caffinated coffee at all, so de-cafe coffee granules, which I ground in a pestle and mortar to powder – instead of espresso powder, and also 5 Dime (Daim) bars for 4 American Heath bars. They will always be Dime bars to me! Lovely cake, very moist and the crunchy topping of toffee and chocolate was fabulous. A couple of days later the little bit that was left became even more moist and the topping less crunchy, but when leftover slices were heated up in the microwave brifely the topping became nice and gooey. My cake was eaten for a pudding and some eaters wanted cream with it and some didn't. I preferred it without, to let every bit of the coffee-toffee-chocolate flavours come through.

Dogs can host several intestinal parasites that can severely affect their health, and could also infect you and your family. The most common intestinal parasites that infect dogs are species of roundworms and hookworms. Dogs can also acquire whipworms and tapeworms, but these are less common.
Dogs can get roundworms from eating infected feces or prey, and infected mothers can pass roundworm larvae to their pups across the placenta or through their milk as they nurse. Dogs become infected with hookworms by ingesting larvae from a contaminated environment, eating infected prey, or by larval penetration of the skin. If the dam is infected, puppies can become infected as they nurse.
Roundworms live in a dog's intestines, where they absorb nutrients from ingested food, interfere with digestion, and can damage the lining of the intestine. Animals with mild infestations of roundworms may not show any signs of disease. More severe infestations may cause weight loss, a dull hair coat, and a pot-bellied appearance. Puppies may become anemic and have vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation. Rarely, in severe infestations, roundworms can cause intestinal obstruction. Coughing may occur as the larvae migrate through the respiratory system.
Hookworms attach themselves to the intestinal wall and feed on the dog's blood. This can rapidly cause anemia. Dogs suffering from a heavy hookworm infestation may have pale gums, weakness, and black, tarry stools. Vomiting, diarrhea, lackluster haircoat, and stunted growth may also occur. In severe infestations, the hookworm larvae migrating through the lungs can cause coughing or pneumonia. Untreated hookworm infestations can result in death, especially in puppies.
DEWORMING – simple, effective and essential
Regular deworming of dogs, as recommended by the American Association of Veterinary Parasitologists (AAVP), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Companion Animal Parasite Council (CAPC), is vital to protecting both canine and human health. If you've recently acquired a puppy, obtain her deworming history and contact your veterinarian to determine whether additional deworming is needed. In addition to regular deworming, schedule annual fecal examinations with your veterinarian. Also, keep your yard and home environment free of feces, which can harbor parasites that sicken both pets and people.
Used year round, monthly heartworm preventives that contain an ingredient to control roundworms and hookworms can decrease the risk of these parasites infecting your dog.

Whenever any of us takes our car into a shop, it's not just about getting something done. It's about trust. We'll go to a specific place because we can trust the guys there to do a good job for a fair price. However, it's one thing to put a MINI in for a service and quite another to hand over a supercar worth the best part of a quarter of a million bucks for modificationswithout even driving it first.
It seems Fabspeed Motorsport USA is a tuner to be trusted. The customer who owns this brand-new 2011 Ferrari 458 Italia (MSRP: $225,000) is from Kansas, but purchased it from a dealer in New Jersey. It was then taken directly from the showroom down to Fabspeed's Ambler, Pa., headquarters to make a magical car even more spellbinding. The same customer also has a Ferrari California, which went through a similar process. This apparently laid-back gentleman was kind enough to let Fabspeed hang on to both of his Italian machines for a sufficient stretch so the tuning house could work on prototypes.
It was a special day in Fabspeed's calendar when the 458 arrived. I was very excited to get the car, says Jeremy D'Avella, general manager of Fabspeed. And then began the job of designing, making and fitting a complete exhaust system, as well as re-flashing the ECU for more power.
Each new header is made from 1.875-inch T304 stainless steel tubing; stock pieces use 1.5-inch tubing. But the Fabspeed items still manage to save a total of 13 pounds over the factory parts (at 13.7 pounds apiece) and help to raise horsepower and torque in the bargain. D'Avella points out that customers may buy just the headers and they will bolt directly to the rest of the OEM exhaust system.
Following the flow of gases into the catalytic converters sees some more weight saving. Whereas the stock 750-cell cats are 11.6 pounds each, Fabspeed uses German HJS 200-cell, tri-metallic, level-five racing cats that are only six pounds a throw. Fabspeed finds these to offer more power, less backpressure and no problems setting off the check engine light. The same units are found on Porsche cars. It's the only one we use, says D'Avella. Replacing the muffler with a proprietary Maxflo unit is a simple unbolt/bolt on arrangement. However, Fabspeed claims another little power boost through being less restrictive. The muffler does away with the factory exhaust valves (put there to attenuate noise levels), while providing customers with the choice of using Fabspeed's 458 Challenge Style dual tips or the factory originals. Naturally, this car has the Fabspeed tips, which are designed to fit any exhaust system, and a carbon-fiber surround.
The whole system is created in house. Power and efficiency are all very well, but the big question is: How does it sound? Every Ferrari has a distinctive exhaust howl that sends shivers down the spine. When I got in the stock 458, I knew this was going to be a hard system to make sound better. It was phenomenal, says D'Avella. But people who have heard this car think we've taken it to another level, that we've replicated the old-school 355 sound. He says it sounds amazing, but not too loud.
Re-flashing the ECU (actually, the 458 has two control units) called for even more delicacy. For this, Fabspeed worked with long-time collaborators, Evolution Motorsport, based in Southampton, Pa. By intelligent tuning (Evolution's quotation marks) practically every top-end performance marque, the company has developed its EVOMSit ECU upgrade. But it was far from a walk in the park.
It being a brand-new car, we did as much homework as we could. Codes in the factory software had to be decyrpted, says D'Avella. And it wasn't just a case of boosting power, it had to complement the new exhaust system. That's why Fabspeed offers the two in conjunction as a performance package, which brings the stock 570 hp and 398 lb-ft up to 630 and 460, respectively, measured at the crank. Fabspeed was the first aftermarket company in the world to actually dyno the 458 Italia and show results for our package, says D'Avella.
Unmodified, a 458 can zip from zip to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds. D'Avella doesn't have a time for this car, but bat out of hell is his description. It will spin tires from First gear through to Third. The package has been tested at the New Jersey Motorsport Park, because nothing tests the product more than the track.
And track work is the reason for the car's last installation, a powdercoated chrome-moly harness bar and belts. Nothing needs to be drilled or changed inside the car, says D'Avella. And the Sabelt straps have yellow stitching so they look like they came from the factory.
To get the performance package, which can be sent anywhere in the United States, a customer will have to drop $15,500. Add the harness bar, belts and labor, and the whole thing would rise to $20,000. D'Avella's next big project will be modifying the first Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 to arrive in the country. In anyone else's hands, that could be a scary proposition for an owner, but Fabspeed has already proved it can be trusted.

Chiro101 needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 37 designs submitted by 8 freelance designers.
This project is for a chiropractor in NYC who is looking for a professional design for the cover of his informational Thyroid DVD.
These DVDs will be sent out to people who request more information from the doctor on his thyroid recovery program.
For this project we will be using the specs given to us by Kunaki.
We sill be using the disc dimensions and the DVD case dimensions.
I would like the final product to be done in Photoshop with the layers editable in case this design gets used for another doctor down the road.
Some examples of similar work can be found here http://www.marketperfect.com/chiro101 please feel free to use that concept or come up with a better overall look and feel.
This cover is for a Thyroid condition DVD so any pictures used should relay that visually if possible.
The main info I want included on each part can be found in the attached txt file.
Any other questions please let me know.

Dr. Edythe Abdullah, Mr. John Barnes, Mr. Luther Coggin (via conference), Mr. Wilfredo Gonzalez, Mr. Hugh Greene, Mrs. Ann Hicks, Mrs. Joannie Newton, Mrs. Wanyonyi Kendrick, Mrs. Joy Korman, Dr. Katherine Robinson, Dr. Bruce Taylor, Mr. Kevin Twomey
Mrs. Toni Crawford
Chair Taylor called the meeting to order.
Chair Taylor stated that he would forgo his report in an effort to attend to the business at hand.
Chair Taylor provided a detailed review of the presidential evaluation process approved by the Board on June 20, 2006. He reminded trustees that the evaluation process included the President's submission of a self-evaluation, the canvassing of Board members to elicit their feedback utilizing a list of prescribed questions, two Executive Committee meetings (which were open to the full Board), preparation of a draft and final report by the Board Chair, followed by a meeting between the Board Chair and the President. Chair Taylor then talked about the fact that last year and this year the trustees had used a more streamlined process that he believes has worked well.
Chair Taylor reviewed the streamlined evaluation process with the Board. He called the Board's attention to a copy of a draft "MODIFIED PRESIDENTIAL EVALUATION PROCESS" dated 9-30-09 which was provided to each trustee. Chair Taylor suggested that if the Board was comfortable with the modified process, the Board might wish to formally adopt the Modified Presidential Evaluation Process.
Trustee Hicks moved that the Board adopt the "MODIFIED PRESIDENTIAL EVALUATION PROCESS" as the process to be used in connection with the President's annual performance review. The motion was seconded by Trustee Barnes. The motion was unanimously approved. A copy of the MODIFIED PRESIDENTIAL EVALUATION PROCESS as adopted by the Board is attached for the record.
Chair Taylor then led a discussion on President Delaney's performance for 2008-2009. Chair Taylor began the discussion by providing feedback on the President's performance for 2008-2009. He called to the Board's attention the President's self report. Chair Taylor noted that the President had a very good year in difficult financial circumstances. He said that the President has accomplished quite a bit both fiscally and has represented UNF extremely well. Chair Taylor cited the President's outstanding job as President in Residence for the Board of Governors, and the advances made with our flagship programs, the Jacksonville Commitment and Transformational Learning Opportunities for our students. He noted that the list of accomplishments is impressive.
Chair Taylor then asked each trustee to offer their comments.
Trustee Barnes read a statement on behalf of the UNF student body lauding President Delaney's leadership, his commitment to UNF students and his enhancement of UNF's profile. A copy of Trustee Barnes' statement is attached for the record.
Trustee Robinson noted that as the President of UNF's Faculty Association, she is part of a group that includes all faculty presidents within the state university system. She said that conversations about President Delaney are always extremely positive by all people and all groups. The presidents of the various university faculties say extremely positive things about his political skills, demeanor and leadership and she believes that the stature of UNF has gone up because of his leadership. She noted that UNF is no longer thought of as one of the small SUS institutions.
Trustee Green noted that as he's thought about what feedback he could offer in terms of ways President Delaney could improve, things that the President could do differently, he honestly would have trouble finding an area where the President has let us down. He asked the Board if it could imagine having to replace him. He said that's not the only reason to be proud of the President. Trustee Green believes the President deserves whole sale commendation for what he has done, whether in the city, state or at UNF. He noted that the faculty respect President Delaney's leadership and don't blame him for the budget difficulties, which is reflective of great leadership.
Trustee Kendrick added that President Delaney is a faithful steward of resources at UNF. She encouraged the President to continue to take UNF to a new level in terms of resource management. Trustee Kendrick also highlighted the President's strong leadership not only at UNF but at the city and state level.
Trustee Coggin added that President Delaney's self-report was outstanding and that the President did an excellent job as President in Residence for the Board of Governors and in working with the legislature. He noted that the President had done this without additional compensation.
Trustee Twomey expressed his agreement with everything that's been said and further expressed his strong support of and appreciation for President Delaney's leadership.
Trustee Newton added that the President is superb and that the Board and UNF are so lucky to have him.
Trustee Hicks noted that she whole heartedly agrees with the comments of fellow board members.
Trustee Korman added that she has sat through other similar meetings and the economy has played a role. She said it's encouraging how much the President has made happen in a dismal economy.
Trustee Abdullah described President Delaney as dedicated, a consummate professional, a lifelong learner, a true financier, a people person who cares about his people and shows he cares by being seen everywhere. She also commented that you know without a doubt that President Delaney is listening to you, that he is very much a relationship person.
Trustee Gonzalez noted that he agrees with all of the comments of other Board members. He added that the President has garnered tremendous respect at the state level and is viewed as a leader. Trustee Gonzalez said he is very proud to have President Delaney as our leader. He believes the President is very focused as evidenced by his self-evaluation.
Chair Taylor added that President Delaney has truly grown on the job and we are lucky to have him as our leader. Chair Taylor thanked the Board for their input and said that he would prepare a written evaluation based on their input.
Chair Taylor then moved on to a discussion of the President's performance bonus award for 2008-2009. Trustee Twomey said that given the President's outstanding performance this past year he would move that the Board award the President the maximum performance bonus allowable under President Delaney's contract. Trustee Greene seconded the MOTION. The MOTION passed unanimously.
Chair Taylor then informed the Board that the President intended to pledge his performance bonus to the capital campaign. The Board was very appreciative of this gesture.
Chair Taylor then moved on to a discussion of the President's contract. He reminded the Board that the President's contract expired in 2010. He said that the President was fully committed to continued leadership of UNF through the campaign and beyond. Chair Taylor reminded the Board that the President had refused to accept a pay raise for the past four years because of the budget. The President has reiterated to the Chair that he would not accept a pay raise until budget conditions improve.
Chair Taylor reminded trustees that in anticipation of a new contract, last year the Board asked Dr. MacTaggart to perform a compensation review to assess the appropriate form that a new contract should take and appropriate compensation. In November, Dr. MacTaggart met with the Board and reported that the President was a high performer and yet his salary fell well below that of his peers. The Board Chair was to work with the President to finalize his compensation for 2008-2009, however no adjustment to compensation was made as the President again refused a pay raise.
The Chair suggested a two step approach. First, he suggested that the Board extend the term of the President's contract with no pay raise, no increase in performance bonus pool monies, and no increase in retention bonus monies. This contract would extend the term of President Delaney's presidency until September 30, 2014. Monies previously allocated for the President's pension buy-in would be shifted to supplemental or deferred compensation. The Chair also proposed that the amendment include a minor revision to the termination without cause language of President Delaney's contract to allow the President to fully vest in the Florida retirement system in the fall of 2011. It was reiterated by the Board Chair and university General Counsel that this would have no impact on the Board's ability to terminate the President's employment for-cause.
Trustee Coggin moved approval of a contract extension under the terms described above. Trustee Barnes seconded the MOTION. During discussion, Trustee Kendrick stated that while she would support the motion, she believes that the Board needs to address presidential compensation as soon as possible. The MOTION passed unanimously.
The Chair suggested that as a second step, the Board authorize the Chair to negotiate the template for a new contract, consistent with the framework suggested by Dr. MacTaggart with terms to take effect when the university's budget climate improves. Several board members expressed concern about not having a date certain for putting a new contract in place with competitive financial terms. Board members also expressed concern with someone other than Chair Taylor finalizing the contract on behalf of the Board.
Trustee Green moved that the Board authorize Chair Taylor to negotiate and execute a new contract with President Delaney, within the general framework of the recommendations of Dr. MacTaggart and with financial terms competitive relative to other SUS institutions, with the contract to be put into place as soon as practicable, but no later than October 1, 2010. The MOTION also authorized Chair Taylor to complete negotiations and execute the agreement on the Board's behalf regardless of whether he is still the Board Chair at the time the contract is executed. Chair Taylor is to update the Board periodically on his progress. The motion was seconded by Trustee Kendrick. The MOTION passed unanimously.
Chair Taylor thanked the Board for their participation and adjourned the meeting.
