I think it seems very premature to call this series likely non-canon. Absolutely none of the points made in the article are anything but conjecture at this point. I'd take the opposite guess at this point, that it will be canon, and will fit just fine in there. Some of the talents from Tron: Legacy are working on this as well.
But my point is also conjecture. This article should be cleaned up to avoid precicely that until we know more.
Then what of the whole "Tron, in hiding and wounded, trains Beck but Beck fights Rinzler" thing? Jeyo 04:25, May 7, 2012 (UTC)
Beck DOESN'T fight Rinzler, but Tron in disguise.
220.127.116.11 21:31, May 13, 2012 (UTC)
Right. But I said that before Beck's Beginning came out, so I couldn't have known. Besides, it's still non-canon. If Clu's evil intentions are known by this point, then Tron would HAVE to be Rinzler. Clu turned Tron into Rinzler first thing. Jeyo 21:35, May 13, 2012 (UTC)
- "If Clu's evil intentions are known by this point, then Tron would HAVE to be Rinzler." Why? There are countless possible explanations why that doesn't need to be true. "Legacy" take place a *long* time after the events of Clu's betrayal. Uprising is clearly following the template of Star Wars: The Clone Wars - filling in gaps. There may be the occasional inconsistancy, but there's no reason to assume this is outside the main continuity. (Unlike Tron 2.0, which has clearly been relegated to an alternate future.) Darth Prefect 16:58, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
- Kosinski may not be involved, but the writers of Legacy are. http://spinoff.comicbookresources.com/2012/05/18/tron-uprising-producers-talk-timelines-influences-the-grid/
- I don't see why the idea of Tron's conversion into Rinzler being delayed is so hard a concept to understand and fit into a broader timeline. FigmentJedi 16:32, May 22, 2012 (UTC)
In the article, it says: TRON may be captured in the series and be turned into Rinzler. If this is true, then why did Rinzler exist before? I know TRON turned himself into Rinzler, but he would still have a white suit and white circuits, unless he stole an identity disc, but that would change him. So therefore, Rinzler can't exist in the series, making it non-canon. Colmyo 21:03, May 27, 2012 (UTC) Colmyo
- I honestly have no idea what you are talking about. Apart from stylistic differences (i.e. the color of Tron's suit at the time of Clu's betrayal), there is nothing to suggest this series does not or cannot fit into the continuity of the films. Darth Prefect 02:08, May 28, 2012 (UTC)
But what I'm saying is that, if Tron became Rinzler, he would need another disc, or the Recoder. The other disc would override him, and he doesn't have the Recoder. So Rinzler would never exist in the series, unless Clu captured him. So it's non-canon. Colmyo 13:11, May 30, 2012 (UTC)
- You can't know any of that is true. It's all speculation on your part and there's no room for speculation if you want this wiki to be taken seriously. "Uprising" is being sold as taking place in between the events of the original film and "Tron: Legacy", just as "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" takes place in between Episodes II & III. Boxleitner has mentioned this in multiple interviews and Disney refers to it in their publicity. Canon should be assumed unless otherwise definitively stated by the production team (as was the case with "Tron 2.0").
- I'm not saying the article shouldn't note continuity differences (such as Tron's color at the time of the betrayal), but (again, using The Clone Wars as the example) this series is clearly meant to be canonical with the movies. Darth Prefect
I don't think you're using the word "canon" properly:
canon 1 |ˈkanən|
2 a collection or list of sacred books accepted as genuine: the formation of the biblical canon.
• the works of a particular author or artist that are recognized as genuine: the Shakespeare canon.
• the list of works considered to be permanently established as being of the highest quality: Hopkins was firmly established in the canon of English poetry.
TRON: Uprising is canonical because it comes out of Disney, who owns the rights to it and controls the franchise. Non-canon content is stuff like fanon (fan fiction) that is not sanctioned or regarded as being "real". TRON: Uprising is "real"; it's an official part of the TRON franchise (otherwise what's it doing on this wiki?). Whether it sits within the previously established continuity is another matter, which I'll leave to those of you who are better versed in the fiction. But canon ≠ continuity. Transformers had to deal with this from virtually day one. The G1 cartoon and the G1 Marvel comic books are both canon, but they show different continuities within the G1 continuity family. All the others, such as the Bay films, Animated, Prime, Unicron Trilogy and so on are also canon, even if they don't fit together as a single continuous piece of fiction (to say nothing of such micro-continuities and variations as differences between Japanese and U.S. versions - that's a whole other ball of disaster-wax). Consider this: what are we to do if all future TRON fiction is based off the timeline/events established in this series? 188.8.131.52 10:50, June 15, 2012 (UTC)
Furthermore to add to this, right there at Comic-Con, Uprising is established to be adding new canon, plus one of the goals of Tron 3 has been said to tie Uprising and Legacy together.
FigmentJedi 04:14, July 15, 2012 (UTC)
And to pointlessly contribute something of questionable value to this years-dead conversation... Programs in TRON: Uprising use variations of the word "death" quite frequently when the rest of the franchise is more consistent with exclusively using the term "Derez". So, the show has another inconsistency... Or I'm just nitpicking again. -- Gibson42 (talk) 06:23, June 7, 2016 (UTC)
Episode ArticlesEdit
Do you think we should make seperate pages for episodes? Daniel1ksc 20:08, June 25, 2012 (UTC)
- I do. The idea was attempted (and abandoned) with an article titled "Beck's Beginning". It still exists, but I've delete tagged it for the moment, because an infobox alone simply isn't enough. Do you have any ideas about the implementation? Basically, the media infobox is well adapted for use on each episode page (we could easily accommodate the 10 episodes of season 1). Feel free to express an opinion on a naming convention, eg. TRON: Uprising ([Se. 1, Ep. #]) [Title], or whatever else you can think of. -- WarBlade 05:39, June 26, 2012 (UTC)
- Absolutely. I'd simply call pages by the episode name. Not to be that guy again, but I'd suggest taking a look at TFWiki.net and ripping off... er... "being inspired by"... their format. A reasonable rundown (not blow-by-blow), with series-wide continuity notes (eg: "Beck received half of Tron's disc in Beck's Beginning"), as well as whole-universe continuity notes (eg: existing characters from the movies making appearances, or events from previous media being referenced), cast notes, etc. The format of the episode list could be ganked directly from Wikipedia. 184.108.40.206 16:20, June 29, 2012 (UTC)
- Odds are, if there's a perfect way to do something, TFWiki is doing it.--184.108.40.206 17:08, June 29, 2012 (UTC)

- I think we should call the episode articles by the actual name eg. The Renegade Part |, The Renegade Part ||, Blackout, Identity, etc, or we could use the episode name and then Season x Episode y but shortened to S and E so it would look like this, "Blackout" S1 E4. What do you guys think? --Daniel1ksc 00:45, June 30, 2012 (UTC)
As far as inspirations go, I'm not totally dismissive of expanding on ideas developed elsewhere, but just to respond to a few of the comments brought up already... On Wikia we are constrained by a 700 pixel width work space which limits table and infobox options, so although I might review TFWiki or Wikipedia for how they deal with something I also have to be realistic about what will actually fit and be effective at conveying relevant information of a subject. Wikipedia cater s to a vast number of episodes from a huge number of different TV shows, while the TRON franchise currently only has one season of one show to deal with, so rather than "gank a format directly from Wikipedia" it's inevitably going to work out better to simply review and emulate anything pertinent.
Where article names are concerned, the episode names copied directly is certainly one valid option, but I've been reluctant to dive down this road out of concern that an episode might carry the same name as an existing article, forcing disambiguations that might otherwise be avoided, eg. Chaos (episode). Another option not yet suggested is structuring TRON: Uprising episodes as subpages, eg. "/TRON: Uprising/Beck's Beginning", so rather than have the episodes as 'top level' articles, they could be grouped under TRON: Uprising instead. -- WarBlade 12:24, June 30, 2012 (UTC)
- Disambiguations should be nothing to be afraid of. That's the kind of thing wikis run on. What are the odds that another item is going to come up to make Beck's Beginning suddenly a huge confusing clusterf*ck?--Carrion (talk) 00:57, July 26, 2012 (UTC)
Uprising Era Icon EditWe should come up with a era icon for Uprising, here is my suggestion:

Yes! --(talk) 11:05, January 15, 2017 (UTC)
Dyson page Edit
Should we create a page for Dyson or should we wait until we get more info on him?--Daniel1ksc 18:56, July 17, 2012 (UTC)
- Wait. Always get facts straight first. This wiki has a real problem with contributors jumping the gun, resulting in numerous edits, re-edits, and page moves, that shouldn't have been needed. -- WarBlade 22:53, July 17, 2012 (UTC)
Gaming number parameter? Edit
Should we create a parameter for the gaming number for each program, like Beck: 05, Cutler: 03, Bodhi: 09?
Episode Infoboxes Edit
Would it be possible to add a "previous/next episode" space in the infoboxes on the individual episode pages?--Carrion (talk) 03:27, November 23, 2012 (UTC)
- Seconding this; that would be an extremely useful navigation tool. --Infiniteviking (talk) 03:39, November 23, 2012 (UTC)
On January 9, 2013, Disney XD canceled "Tron: Uprising". Edit
On January 9, 2013, Disney XD canceled Tron: Uprising. Here's a source about this show: http://www.theouthousers.com/index.php/news/119976-tron-uprising-canceled.html AdamDeanHall (talk) 17:58, January 11, 2013 (UTC)
- Technically, it is in limbo - there has been no official cancellation of Tron: Uprising, and neither has there been any word on a new series.
- Nate Corddry (who voiced Zed) told me yesterday on Twitter it was "not looking good" for a second series, while Bruce Boxleitner (Tron) said "I'm sure I would have heard if it was going further."
- So, alas, it appears unlikely to continue - although until we get an official cancellation, I live in hope!

5th Gen Lightcycle Edit
I have watched the official trailer several times, and I noticed that the creators removed the 5th Gen Bike. Anybody have some kind of theory why?
END OF LINE--QuilSniv (talk) 02:59, February 12, 2013 (UTC)QuilSniv
- Only that Argon City uses different technology than the other known cities on the grid. No other city has light rails, for example. {{SUBST:User:Jeyo/sig1}} 18:02, May 14, 2013 (UTC)
Please keep the petition to renew TRON: Uprising off this article. It's fine in a blog, but the TRON: Uprising article is for documenting the series itself, not for documenting an external movement devoted to renewing it. -- WarBlade (talk) 19:45, August 21, 2013 (UTC)

84 Charing Cross Road
You can read this charming book in less than two hours. The story consists entirely of letters from a New York writer requesting books, and a London Used Bookseller who places her orders. The correspondence, which lasts over 20 years grows from one of mutual interest in books, admiration, to friendship and love. This is a captivating record of bibliophilia, cultural difference, and imaginative sympathy. Very funny and sweet. One of my very favorite bo...
The Duchess of Bloomsbury Street
Not as good as its predecessor, this sequel to 84 Charing Cross Road tells of Helen's adventure once she finally gets to see London, and her spiritual quest that is met while she is there. Written as a diary, she talks of the places she visits and the people she meets. Just as charming and funny as her first book, this book lacks warmth of a relationship that her first book had. Still, lovers of the first book will be overjoyed that there is this seque...

(NNPA)—Although Feb. 14 is typically remembered for Valentine Day, this year that date brought new findings on the cumulative costs of the Great Recession—$13 trillion in cumulative losses in household wealth and high unemployment are the result of the Great Recession, according to a new Government Accountability Office.
Earlier research by the Center for Responsible Lending found that the spillover effects of foreclosures wiped out nearly $2 trillion in family wealth. From 2000-2010, African-American family wealth dropped 53 percent, and Hispanic families lost 66 percent. By comparison, average White household wealth dropped only 16 percent. The foreclosure crisis and resulting economic downturn have turned back the clock on previous wealth gains, especially in communities of color.
The GAO report was performed at the request of the Senator Tim Johnson (SD), chair of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, and Rep. Michael Capuano (Mass., the ranking member of the House Subcommittee on Housing and Insurance.

Please don't steal my content...and Bollywood's
Now, I'd never even heard the site in question, and what bothered me most about it was that they're generating revenue through advertising. As genuinely angry as I was to see my translations on their site, complete with their rather hypocritical 'Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy' (I write some of these in my profession -- technology regulation), what did comfort me some what (in a very shallow way) was that these folks are illegally making available MP3 files of entire Bollywood soundtracks. I guess I do have something in common with them filmmakers and musicians! ;)
Question (you know who you are): Why do you steal?
Reminder to visitors: Please know that I do not blog on Bollywood anywhere but here. The disclaimer I've had since the inception of this blog (see bottom-right of the sidebar) holds and will hold true -- I have not and will not blog for money, which means at the very base level, no advertisements, EVER!
Normal programming (err...blogging) will resume almost immediately. I do apologize for the negativity of this post, and thank you for your tolerance of it, which probably is, by every definition, a rant. :) These translations take a decent amount of time, and the last thing I intend when I put thought into them is for anyone (including myself) to use them for commercial purposes.
10 comments:
Plagiarism can't be stopped. A post is copied by many others. It is a disadvantage of blogging.
But why don't you add, "Don't copy anything from here," or something like that in the blog's Disclaimer. I have done it on mine, it may control plagiarism.
- Thursday, November 20, 2008
You have my support on this matter. Your translations are really excellent, and are much more helpful than others I have come across. A translation is a creative act, but all too often it is treated as if it is in some way automatically generated.
Please carry on providing this service for the rest of us. We appreciate you.
- Thursday, November 20, 2008
You have every right to feel angry about it. You might try contacting them to ask them to take the translations down although it probably won't work---you could also contact the music publishers whose soundtracks are on there and let them take care of the site :-)

Hi all, and first of all, thank you for your comments, suggestions, and support.
Saurabh: I tend to agree with you. It's the classic chor-police case. Just as crime won't ever stop completely, as malicious computer viruses will continue to be spread over the internet, so will plagiarism. See note to Ajnabi below for disclaimer content.
Joss: Thank you for your kind words. One can get fairly involved in the translations, especially because there isn't one correct way to convey the implied sense. It's a fun and learning experience, one I thoroughly enjoy. What makes it worthwhile is, as you say, the benefit to fans of music/film. That benefit will always outweigh the risk of intellectual property theft!
Memsaab: Thanks for your suggestion. I'd e-mailed them before I wrote this, and they were nice enough (relatively speaking) to remove them. There are too many sites to take care of (which would've been the other route), it's a shame it's almost somewhat acceptable among our Bollywood (and in some cases, even Hollywood) fan base.
Bollyviewer: I know, right?! :) There is a lot that can be done, and fairly easily. The reason I started the blog was to free myself of work-related stress (seriously). I see enough related to copyright infringement in consumer and mostly (believe it or not) enterprise technology (think patent trolls) at work, and I figure this fight might be best left to Bollywood (I'd rather focus my energies on feeding hungry children!).
The sites in question seems to be pretty well optimized in search engines, and it's not like our film distributors and record labels cannot find them. Instead of focusing on combating the piracy they foster, our film industry seems to worry more of you and I embedding videos from YouTube. Oh well. Of course, I could be saying this because this particular case was resolved, so I'll try to forget it ever happened.
It's not the first time this happened, though. There was one (much bigger) incident around the time of the Jaane Tu release. Come to think of it, I'm always discovered around the time of Aamir's releases, LOL!
Ajnabi: Thanks for the Copyscape note. I probably should incorporate that, huh? I guess I'm so caught in the technology and regulation bubble because of what I do for a living, I almost take for granted that no explicit statement warning visitors is required (in which case, copyrights are owned by the publisher). Probably doesn't apply in our case, so Copyscape sounds like a good, formal way to make it stand out.
Darshit: Thanks for your comment, dude. I missed you when we were online. I'll e-mail you soon.
All: Again, thanks! I'm just glad the issue was resolved, so we can focus on the BIG Bollywood weekend upcoming! I'm so ready... :)

Expense report software helps companies simplify the management and tracking of "T&E," or, "business travel and expenses." By providing increased visibility of employee spending, expense management software can increase adherence to corporate spending policies and help organizations budget and forecast for future expenses.
With so many expense reporting systems on the market, it can be hard to decide which one is right for you. With that in mind, we created this buyer's guide to help you narrow down your choices from the selection available.
Here's what we'll cover:
What Is Expense Report Software?
Key Purchase Drivers
Common Features of Expense Management Software
What Type of Buyer Are You?
Tracking expenses is an essential task for every company. Expense report software automates the entire expense management process, from submitting a claim to analyzing business expenses. Not only does this save time, but it reduces errors caused by manual data entry.
While systems vary, the key steps in this process include:
Submit claim, i.e. employee expense report, to manager for approval. Employees can easily create and submit expense reports for work-related expenses like transportation, lodging and meal costs. Management reviews and approves, then sends the claim to accounting for processing and reimbursement.
The ability to automatically import expenses from personal and company credit cards and accounts streamlines the expense report process and ensures no expenditures are overlooked.
Additionally, organizations can customize approval workflows to help structure the approval process by setting limits or creating rules dictating spending overrides and adjustments.
Process expense report. Features such as automatic expense import and integration with popular accounting systems, such as Quickbooks Online andIntacct, eliminate the need for manual data entry and minimize the chance of errors.
Reimburse funds. Direct deposit allows for quick and easy funds transfer, so companies can reimburse employees more efficiently and the compensation is available for immediate use.
Analyze spending. The ability to track spending by expense category, unit or vendor provides insight into spending trends and identifies areas for cost savings. Organizations can improve their cash flow cycle and forecast for future expenditures.
Additionally, reviewing expense data helps ensure that employees are compliant with company policies and can even assist with fraud detection (see "Key Purchase Drivers" section below for more details).
There are three main drivers that push a business to automate their expense management system:
Cost: Submitting and processing an expense report can be tedious and expensive. Automating this process saves time and cuts down on transaction costs.
For example, many systems offer mobile apps that allow employees to take a picture of receipts or scan and email the receipt, and the relevant data is extracted and autopopulates on the report. Approved expenses, such as car mileage, flights or hotel lodging, are pre-coded for streamlined processing.
Even more, systems that include integration with accounting platforms and offer direct deposit help reduce the time and costs associated with claim approval and reimbursement.
Compliance: Internal company policies as well as external government and tax regulations can cause non-compliance risks for an organization. Expense management systems help reduce risks by evaluating expense reports against internal and external regulations.
For example, managers and accounting can set up expense rules so they are automatically alerted when an expense is submitted that isn't filed under an approved code. This can help catch innocent errors more quickly and alert management of situations involving possible fraud.
Productivity: Time and money lost due to misplaced receipts, forgotten expense approvals and error-prone manual data entry and expense calculations, can put a significant drain on employee productivity and satisfaction. Expense management software can curb these issues and increase efficiency.
For example, employees can use their mobile device to take a picture of receipts, rather than having to keep track of various paper receipts while traveling. Managers can set up email reminders for employees about submitting reports and for themselves about approving reports. Automating these processes can boost productivity tremendously.
Features of these systems can vary from vendor to vendor. Below are some of the most common functions:
|Accounting integration
|Many systems integrate with popular accounting systems such as Xero, Microsoft Dynamics and Sage 50 (formerly known as Peachtree), allowing for easy export of reports and eliminating the need for manual data entry.
|Expense compliance
|Helps enforce corporate spending policies and assist with fraud detection flagging expense overages, duplicate expenses, missing documentation (e.g., receipts) and so forth.
|Approval workflow
|Streamlines the review and approval process by enabling managers to configure workflows according to expense type and other variables.
|Analytics reporting
|Customizable reports help forecast and budget for future expenses, identify spending trends and highlight cost savings opportunities.
|Automatic expense import
|Connects to personal and corporate accounts and credit cards, allowing users to pick and choose charges to add to expense reports.
|Electronic receipt capture
|Enables users to scan, email or take a picture of receipts for easy submission.
|Direct deposit
|Links directly to employee bank accounts for quick and easy expense reimbursement.
|Mobile app
|Allows employees to enter expenditures, snap and submit photos of receipts or edit existing expenses via their smartphone or tablet.
Small businesses. Organizations with just a handful of employees need an easy, organized way to manage business and travel expenses without all the bells and whistles of a more complex system. These companies will benefit from business expense software that offers basic features, such as the ability to upload photos of receipts and accounting software integration.
Midsized and growing businesses. Midsize organizations must find a way to handle the increased accounting requirements that come with additional customers and employees. Systems best suited to these companies allow managers to set spending limits by category and approve expense reports for employees who are on-the-go.
Large corporations. Organizations with hundreds or thousands of employees need an automated approach to manage business and travel expenses. Systems that offer automatic expense report creation and integrate with pre-existing financial and/or enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions can help companies quickly and efficiently process reimbursements to keep operations running smoothly.
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!

The victory is the first A-10 Championship for VCU in the sport of golf and the Rams earn the Conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

George Washington had its best round of the weekend on Sunday, scoring a 297 to en route to a 904 for the weekend which was good for a third-place team finish. Dayton finished fourth with a 301-306-310—917, while George Mason capped its first season in the A-10 with a fifth-place finish.
Richmond's Danny Pizetoski took home individual medalist honors with a two under par performance for the weekend. Pizetoski was the only player to post multiple rounds in red numbers, carding a three day total of 70-71-70—211.
VCU had four players finish in the top seven spots on the individual leaderboard, led by Rocky Khara who finished in second-place overall with a 70-71-70—211. Adam Ball finished with a 220 to place fifth, while Enej Sarkanj earned top Rookie Performer of the Championship with a sixth-place finish. Matt Ball Jr. finished seventh overall with a 222 for the weekend.
Joining Pizetoski, Khara and the Ball brothers on the A-10 All-Conference Team was La Salle's Mike Johnson, Kevin Yerks of George Mason, Joe Leavitt (Rhode Island), Jack Persons (George Washington), T.J. McNulty (Saint Joseph's) and Josh Stauffer of St. Bonaventure.
VCU's Matt Ball was honored by his peers as the 2014 A-10 Coach of the Year. Ball and his Rams will wait for the NCAA Selection Show to reveal their destination for Regional Play.

Dr. Edythe Abdullah, Mr. Luther Coggin, Ms. Toni Crawford, Mr. Wilfredo Gonzalez, Mrs. Ann Hicks, Dr. William Klostermeyer, Ms. Joan Newton, Dr. Bruce Taylor
With a quorum being present, Chair Hicks called the meeting to order.
Chair Hicks asked for a MOTION to approve the minutes for September 20, 2007. The MOTION was offered, seconded and passed.
There were no comments from the public.
Chair Hicks asked Dr. Joann Campbell, Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs, to present this item.
Dr. Campbell noted that there was a typo in Article 11, line 2, whereby the word announced should be changed to unannounced. The record reflected this error. The administration agreed to make appropriate changes.
Dr. Campbell explained that many of the changes to the supplemental agreement were made to clarify existing language. She provided highlights, noting that all changes were in keeping with the nature of the agreement and, therefore, non-substantive.
Dr. Campbell verified that the agreement was overwhelmingly ratified by faculty and the administration agreed that the University's position was improved by these changes.
Trustees discussed Article 11, Nondiscrimination, speaking about concerns regarding unannounced visits to the classroom. Additional discussion addressed Article 19, Tenure, and the need to further clarify exceptional teaching and scholarship. The administration acknowledged trustees concerns and responded that these issues would be considered during upcoming bargaining sessions.
Chair Hicks asked for a MOTION to approve the supplement to the collective bargaining agreement. The MOTION was offered, seconded and approved unanimously.
Chair Hicks asked Provost Workman to speak about this item.
Provost Workman stated that this program was introduced by the Undergraduate Studies Council and adopted as a reading program to help freshmen transition into college. He introduced Dr. David Jaffee, Assistant Vice President for Undergraduate Studies, and asked him to speak about this program.
Dr. Jaffee stated that the Undergraduate Studies Council, in collaboration with the General Education Counsel, had chosen the book, Freakonomics. Dr. Jaffee stated that this selection fit the criteria set by the selection committee and was chosen because it asked questions, based on economic logic, about social life and human behavior.
Dr. Jaffee explained that all freshmen attending orientation for the fall 2008 semester would receive a free copy of Freakonomics. He noted that handing out the book would be prefaced by faculty advisors who would provide information on upcoming discussions.
Additional discussions clarified that the intent of this program was to create a sense of community with the freshman class and to fulfill the mission of the University. Trustees stated that, in the future, this program might be expanded to include all four years, and include regional libraries.
This item was for discussion only. There was no further action required.
Provost Workman stated that the VSA project was a collaborative effort among the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU), and the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges (NASULGC), and the public higher education community. He stated that the institutions who were members of the organization generated 70 percent of all bachelor's degrees in the U.S. every year.
Provost Workman outlined the goals of the VSA as follows:
Provost Workman noted that UNF had decided to participate in the VSA because it was an initiative designed to demonstrate accountability and stewardship to the public; measure educational outcomes to identify effective educational practices; and assemble information that would be accessible, understandable, and comparable.
Provost Workman discussed the benefits UNF might receive from the VSA project. He stated that collected data would provide information on the cost of education, retention, financial aid, student profile, areas of study, range of programs, student/faculty ratios, safety records, etc. Provost Workman felt that the VSA project would be a very useful instrument and had received credibility across the nation.
This item was presented for discussion only. There was no further action required.
Chair Hicks asked Vice President and General Counsel Stone to present this item.
Vice President Stone stated that the administration was requesting that the Board repeal old Admissions regulations and approve new regulations that were current and consistent with the BOG's regulations. She asked Ms. Deb Kay, Associate Vice President for Enrollment Services, and Mr. John Yancey, Director of Admissions, to provide further information.
Mr. Yancey stated that the administration had reviewed all of Admissions' rules and the State statutes and had developed a set of regulations that were consistent with the BOG and specific to UNF. He noted that there were no significant changes and the regulations being presented for review and approval were in compliance with the State statutes and the BOG's standards.
Trustees asked for clarity on student athletes. The administration responded that student athletes were not exempt from these regulations. Further information was requested on admitting transfer students from local community colleges. The administration responded that the admission of Associate in Arts degree graduates from Florida Community College would be governed by the articulation agreement between the state universities and public junior colleges of Florida.
Trustee Abdullah asked for clarification on transfer students from FCCJ with Associate in Science degrees, specifically in business administration. She referenced the regulation under review addressing this issue and asked that the administration add specific language regarding the articulation agreement between UNF and FCCJ that integrated this degree. The administration agreed to incorporate the language.
Chair Hicks asked for a MOTION to approve the Admissions regulations. The MOTION was offered, with the understanding that additional language would be added to address the Associate in Science degree articulation agreement. The MOTION was offered, seconded and approved unanimously.
Chair Hicks asked Vice President and General Counsel Stone to speak about this item.
Vice President Stone mentioned that this was a state-wide priority and in response to the BOG's recommendation for a set of standards to secure and process college loans. She stated that the policy being reviewed was the result of UNF's effort to put these standards in place.
Vice President Stone noted that the administration had reviewed the process in place and found no major issues or practices that needed changing, therefore the University was comfortable with current practices. She clarified that the BOG did want local boards to review and formally approve the policy.
Chair Hicks asked for a MOTION to approve the Student Loan Practices Code of Conduct Policy. The MOTION was offered, seconded and approved unanimously.
Notes included in Item 10.
Chair Hicks asked Provost Workman to speak about items 9 and 10.
Provost Workman stated that Dr. Ouyang and Dr. Cornett had impressive credentials, including strong records of scholarship and positive records off administrative effectiveness. The candidates were coming as professors and chairs within the College of Education and Human Services. He noted that these candidates were people who could advance scholarly activity and the quality of teaching.
With no further discussion, Chair Hicks asked for a MOTION to approve tenure for Dr. Ronghua "John" Ouyang. The MOTION was offered, seconded and approved unanimously. She then asked for a MOTION to approve tenure for Dr. Jeffrey Cornett. The MOTION was offered, seconded and approved unanimously.
With no other business arising, Chair Hicks adjourned the meeting.

Islamic swimsuit
There is such a thing, if you're wondering.
Did you know that the more obnoxious you are, the more extreme you are, or the more controversial stuff that you post, the more traffic that you get to your blog. The picture I posted showing two veiled women with a topless woman in a swimming pool got my blog a peak in traffic. People want to see it, simple. I wasn't trying to be obnoxious or to shock anyone, but it was just so real, and it was really up to people to draw their own conclusions. Some people could find it odd and funny, others see tolerance, understanding and diversity in it. I personally, just found it ugly (meaning that the picture is not a pleasant sight --especially if you've seen the original thing with the breasts unblurred).
I didn't take that picture if someone is wondering. A friend sent it to me, but I made an assumption that its real, because I've personally seen it in real life alot before. The new thing is that they're posing so close to each other, you even see one of the veiled women is literally touching the topless woman's breasts.
That picture brought up some thoughts that I've had for a while, not about topless women, but about women who swim fully dressed. I know some people have their minds set already that its disgusting, and some others have it set that its the only respectable way to swim. I; am not sure, but here are some thoughts.
Ofcourse, there are the topless (and the nude, but that's not in Egypt as far as I know), the bikinis, the one piece swimsuit, the "Islamic" (conservative) swimsuit, and then those who swim fully dressed.
The first three in the list are well-known. The conservative swimsuit covers more flesh than the one piece swimsuit. More like a wetsuit I suppose with some kind of a skirt over it. There are different models of it I think, some go down only to the knees, some don't cover the whole arm and so on.
I'm trying to think of alternative options of how these conservative women can manage to get in the water and swim whilst not revealing too much of their bodies, which they're trying to protect so hard from the gazes of the male species. Considering how much I value water and swimming, avoiding swimming all together is not an option that I can consider, and I just don't know how those who sit on the beach fully dressed not enjoying the water can do that. So then the options to me are to either swim at times and places those are not available to men, or to integrate and swim along the males, but segragate their bodies by swimming conservatively (while dressed conservatively that is).
In most swimming pools here there are certain times where the pool is only available for women. They are ofcourse taking from the men's rights and giving it to women, because women get exclusive time with the pool for themselves where men can't access it, while men don't get the same. So I would think that some conservative men could complain that they need men-only pool hours where they wouldn't have to mingle with unconservative women. Considering the number of conservative women here whom are not willing to reveal the parts of their bodies that typical swimsuites reveal, it seems very reasonable to have this policy of having women-only pool hours --as long as they're very few hours a week and at very odd times! Fortunately, I have access to a pool that doesn't (and can't) implement this policy, so I don't really care how other pools do it, and am glad they give a chance to conservative women to enjoy the water.
Those women who choose to integrate with men in the water however, or atleast swim when its not guaranteed that men won't be around, they go for the option of swimming in a conservative swimsuit. I'm not sure if the point of it is to reveal less of the body so that if we look, we don't see much skin or body parts, or that it should look so ugly that we're not interested to look in the first place regardless of how much skin it reveals or not. Those who can't afford that special consevative swimsuit or think its still revealing, and usually don't have access to swimming pools with women-only hours, will swim fully dressed --with their clothes on.
Now, there is a difference between that conservative swimsuit and swimming fully dressed. The most important difference I think is the material of the garment. I like to think that I don't mind that conservative swimsuit at all. Really, its not like they're covering me with it, its what they're wearing in the water, why should I care. Plus, if they're really swimming, you'll never notice how long or short the swimsuit is. Some hotels here forbid swimming in that conservative swimsuit. I think the argument is that its against the common sense taste in the hotel, or something like that. And the argument I've heard against that ofcourse is that they're allowing topless women to swim freely (in Egypt the Islamic country), while forbiding others from swimming in an Islamic conservative swimsuit. So you either reveal more of your body, or you're not allowed to swim! I think part of it also is that revealing less, covering more, and doing it in such an obvious way (special swimsuit) is traditionally associated with lower economic classes of our society. And we have a hidden cultural policy not to have different classes of our society mingle together.
For those who swim fully dressed however, I can't quite make up my mind about that. Its certainly not a pleasant sight for me, but I tend to think that its their right as well to swim with their normal land-clothes. As someone commented at the earlier picture post, it seems that sometimes those wet clothes do not end up to be as conservative as they might think. I also can't imagine how they can possibly enjoy the water with their clothes on, totally wet. Must be a terrible heavy and itchy feeling. I think it might be natural for people to find this an unpleasant sight, because maybe its unnatural to get wet with clothes on. You get naked before you jump in the shower. When it rains you try to avoid getting your clothes wet. Clothes will make you heavier in the water and will make you drown. So the first instinct is that the sight of a woman (or a man for that matter) getting in the water fully dressed is an unpleasant sight, but as soon as I start thinking about it I say its really non of my business regardless of how much distasteful it might be to me. As long as no one is forcing me to dress up before jumping in the water, nor to get naked, than I'm fine (although taking off that swimsuit makes a whole lot of a difference!).

Get ready eco-fashion loving New Yorkers! Project Earth Day – the fabulous green runway show / fashion design competition is coming to the Teknion showroom TONIGHT, from 7-8pm. Anyone who
Anyone who reads Inhabitat with any regularity knows that we love our eco fashion almost as much as we love green architecture and new technology. We believe in the interdisciplinary nature of design innovation, and love to see sustainable design collaboration across different industries. Thats why we are such big fans of 'Project Earth Day' – the annual NYC sustainable fashion event put on by the Emerging Green Builders (EGB) NYC chapter within the USGBC (United States Green Building Council). Although it is put together by architects and interior designers, this inspired green take on the 'Project Runway' design competition always features interesting up-and-coming designers, and can hold its own with any fashion industry event. This year's line-up features all new designers, and yours truly as a judge on the student fashion competition! I can't wait..
We had an awesome time at last year's event, and would encourage anyone who is interested in attending to get in touch with the organizers ASAP. The RSVP list is already full and the space is small, but you may have some luck in the next couple days if you plan ahead:
+ Project Earth Day
For pics of last years event, check out our FLICKR FEED HERE >
The highlight of the event last year for us was most definitely the student fashion show, which you can read more on Inhabitat here >
Project Earth Day Student Competition >
Show organizer Molly Garretson explaining her philosophy on green design – in a Bahar Shahpar dress.
What does green architecture have to do with sustainable style – you might ask? Organizer Molly Garretson explained it this way: there has been an upswell of interest in green design everywhere this year – in green building even more than green fashion. Sustainability is an issue that cuts across all design disciplines and in fact, brings disciplines together under common strategies and a common purpose. "EGBNY members are young, creative professionals in the building, architecture and interior design fields," says Molly Garretson, EGBNY member and the fashion show liaison. "We wanted to throw an event that would not only be fun, but would bring together similar creative, eco-conscious people in another yet related area of design."
Kudos to that! Viva la interdisciplinary eco design!
Here were some of our favorite looks from last year's 2007 show:

Kimi no Iru Machi (A Town Where You Live)
Written by Seo Kouji, who's the author of Suzuka, this is a new series published by Kodansha, and serialized in Weekly Shounen Magazine.
Anyway, enough with the intro...
Spoiler for image:
Brief synopsis: Main girl (Honoka-look-alike) moves into Main guy (Yamato-look-alike)'s home, which is in the suburban area, because she wanted to go to the high school there. Main girl was from Tokyo originally, but because she came to this place before when she was young and really liked it, she decided to go back here for high school.
Basically the story will be about these 2 people living together (main guy doesn't really like the main girl at first), and there will be a triangle relationship with a Suzuka-look-alike (girl whom main guy likes).
Sorry, I will update with their names when english translations come out, but at this point that's the best I can do as far as the story goes.

You mean, a manga published by Kodansha, and serialized in Weekly Shounen Magazine.
Though I wasn't active in the Suzuka manga thread, but I read all the manga and I loved it I have heard about this new manga from some japanese blogs that I read, and of course I'll be following this manga too

I've never read Suzuka(i've seen all the anime though), but I hope its at least a bit better than Cross Over. Not that Cross Over is bad, just generic sports drama, so it's not that exciting to most(though I'm still following it >.>). And I'm not complaining, but Seo needs to make a new hair style.
Spoiler for cover from Suzuka:

I kinda just skimmed over the first chapter. It's being offered on line from Shonen Jump's own website. You can read it here too if you want:
Click the image on the bottom left labelled "第一話"
The main girl, with the long blue hair, seems to be called "Eba Yuzuki" (Last name first) She says she comes from Tokyo.
The main guy, who speaks with a Kansai dialect/accent, is called Kirishima Haruto. The other girl that he was afraid to meet up with is called (神咲名海) Kanzaki Nanami, which is an unusual reading for the kanji of her name.
(Spoiler for ch1)
The series is serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump as the original poster mentioned. Chapter one started with volume 26 and now 28 is out, I believe. No raws (beyond chapter 1 from the website) or scanlations exist on line that I can find as of this date.
Anyways, that's all I had time to look up.

Well, i just read the first chapter. For some reason, it gave me a 'to love ru' vibe O_O, easily angered guy, outspoken girl, the guy likes a girl that seems to be the serious/shy type .
Too early to judge I guess, but it does seem to have a more kiddy'ish vibe than suzuka, I kinda was expecting something more serious (early judgement I know )

Well,Yamato2 is immature, but so was Yamato in Suzuka for most of the story...I felt like I was reading that manga all over again - at least at the beginning before they got all serious with their futures and all that.
I don' t think this is a 'sequel' per se - the character personalities and art is similar of course but beyond that I don't think it has anything to do with Suzuka...
I really like the Honoka-type character though...she has much more personality and is more interesting (like Miki!)...I hope she comes out better than Honoka did in Suzuka.
So we've had basketball....track....wonder what this one will be about?
at any rate, really looking forward to reading this...although waiting for each chapter of Suzuka was torture in itself...ah well

Kimi No Iru Machi: A town where you live
First let me say I wasn't the first to bring this new title up at this board someone else did over on the Suzuka board. Why? Well, because it is the new book by Seo Sensei.
The premise: Girl leaves Tokyo and moves to a small town (somewhere near Hiroshima I think) to go to high school. She moves in with a boy who is our presumptive main character (the narrative so far is from his POV) and our other characters so far are the boy's mother, a girl he has a crush on and his best friend.
The good: If you liked Suzuka you will like the art of this book and you might even like the story. the premise is sort of the reverse of Suzuka and it isn't as hopeless as it may seem. So far only two chapters are out but both of them are decently written and easy to follow along with.
The bad: this may all seem a bit too familiar to you if you have read Suzuka while the characters don't share personalities they certainly share appearances. though the best friend isn't a Yasonobu. The plot may also seem a bit contrived, I suggest giving it a try it is only two chapters out so far.
Conclusion? Who knows? Honestly this manga hasn't seen enough daylight to make a judgement I will stick with it personally. I like Seo's art and I like this sort of harem story. so try it and decide for yourself.

Some farm pesticide uses lost in early rounds under FQPA
American farmers will continue to lose valuable crop protection materials unless agriculture and agribusiness "continue to fight for scientific rather than political decisions throughout the regulatory process," says Charles Fischer.
The president and chief executive officer of Dow AgroSciences LLC, speaking at the annual convention of the Southern Crop Production Association (ACPA) at Amelia Island, Fla., said the American Crop Protection Association, of which he is chairman of the board, "has taken a more aggressive stance on the federal Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) than perhaps any other single issue" in the nearly 70 years of the organization's existence.
"But, despite some of our victories, we lost some pesticide uses in the early rounds of FQPA. And we will lose more," he said, unless the industry continues its efforts to insure regulatory fairness.
Science-based regulations are also necessary for biotechnology to realize its fullest potential, Fischer said, and the ACPA has taken an active role in issues related to biotech.
"During the past year, we participated in the public information steering team for the Council on Biotechnology Information, which created the U.S. and Canadian consumer outreach program. ACPA members helped guide development of communications messages that were both meaningful to consumers, yet did not sell out the traditional crop protection industry."
ACPA also intervened early in a lawsuit by the Greenpeace organization against Bt crops, and the suit was ultimately dismissed by the U.S. district court.
"Reasonable regulation of plant biotechnology is a global issue that must be resolved," Fischer said. "Unfortunately, this is often a one-step-forward, two-steps-backward process."
Citing the recent controversy over StarLink corn, which inadvertently was used in the making of taco shells, he said, "this will have a ripple effect throughout our industry." With such issues, "we need to find ways to address consumer concerns, while at the same time allowing farmers and processors to extract maximum value from agricultural biotechnology."
There are "no easy answers," Fischer said, for the goals of strengthening identity preservation efforts and making the regulatory process less cumbersome and more efficient."
"But, we all know the success of agricultural biotechnology is critical not only to the survival of the crop protection industry but also if biotechnology is to fulfill its promise of improving the diets and health of people around the world. From public misunderstanding and mistrust of biotechnology to the politics of pesticide regulation, there remain many battles for our industry in the coming years."
Two areas on which ACPA needs to focus its efforts, Fischer said, are children's health and product stewardship.
"Children's health has the potential to be the next big issue we face...and ACPA will be devoting more resources to this effort. We can't afford not to pay attention to this battle."
He said ACPA has worked with an industry-wide task force to develop a set of stewardship practices for the crop and specialty pest management industries.
"The expansion and promotion of uniform stewardship practices - from product discovery to container disposal - remains an important issue for us, and we have earmarked additional funds in 2001 to insure continued success of this initiative."
But, Fischer cautioned, "it won't be easy and it won't be cheap, and the reality is that the number of companies that contribute resources is dwindling." Industry consolidation, he said, resulting in "fewer, bigger companies," will mean fewer dues-paying members for organizations such as ACPA.
"At a time when our association's advocacy needs are increasing, our resources may be decreasing, so we need to pick and choose our advocacy targets - and be willing to pay for results."
To that end, Fischer noted, ACPA has approved a 15 percent increase in its 2001 operating budget "to allow us to focus on priority issues. But, we need more than money to be effective. All of us must commit to sharing the load - the sweat equity - of advocating. All of us must speak up for these priorities, for the sake of our industry and our future."
A new political landscape as a result of the November elections makes it important, Fischer said, "that we try to anticipate new issues that might have an impact on our industry and that we respond effectively to events we can't control or can't anticipate. We'll have to take some bold steps in some areas if we're to stay ahead of the curve - and probably some baby steps in other areas in order to adjust to the changing terrain.
"While we believe in our industry and what we do, we'd be naive to believe a lot of others understand us. We can't just sit back and believe everything will be all right without our having to do some real work to confront these challenges.
"We can't be the Lone Ranger," Fischer said, urging the SCPA members to continue forging alliances with other organizations in order to more effectively achieve goals.

2012 Toyota Camry ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
Redesigned for 2012.
The 2012 Toyota Camry is the seventh generation, with redesigns coming every five years since 1982. Toyota claims that the new Camry is not only the current bestselling midsize sedan, but also the safest, quietest, and most fuel-efficient. Five models of the 2012 Camry range from the stripped-down L to the sport-tuned SE to the Hybrid.
New for 2012, the Camry hasn't changed its size, as the wheelbase, length, track and height are within fractions of an inch of those of the sixth-generation 2011 model. But the sheetmetal is totally new, and a new roofline makes it slightly more slippery. The 2012 Camry's lines are attractive, and it's clearly more contemporary than the 2011. What Toyota calls aero-corner design enhances this image. There are four new colors: Clearwater Blue, Attitude Black, Cypress Pearl and Cosmic Gray Mica.
The 2012 Camry interior is all new, both design and materials. Interior dimensions stay the same within fractions of those of the previous version. There's a bit more backseat legroom, and some interior parts have been thinned to create more eye, knee and elbow room. The instrument panel is pretty and functional, storage spaces well thought-out, and a 60/40 split rear seat is standard. A new leather dashboard is neat and stylish.
For powertrains, the standard I4 and optional V6 engines are carryovers from 2010 and 2011, respectively. Six-speed automatic transmissions are standard. The standard 2.5-liter I4 has double VVT-I technology, making 178 horsepower. The 3.5-liter V6 produces 268 horsepower. Fuel economy is an EPA-estimated City/Highway 25/35 mpg with the four-cylinder, 21/30 mpg with the V6.
We were impressed with such smooth and responsive acceleration from the standard four-cylinder while averaging 30 miles per gallon, and Toyota boasts a range of 650 miles.
The 2012 Camry boasts a new chassis with increased rigidity, using more high- and ultra-high-strength steel, as well as 56 more welded spots. It reflects ongoing research in impact energy management.
The tuned suspension in the Camry SE might be too firm for some; we didn't find the SE uncomfortable, but we did find the softer Camry XLE more relaxing around town. We preferred the SE's tighter steering in all circumstances.
The Camry Hybrid uses a new 2.5-liter Atkinson Cycle engine, with more horsepower and electric power than before. It feels like a totally different car than the I4 or V6, as it slows everything down and makes the vehicle feel bigger. The 2012 Camry Hybrid LE is rated by the government at 43/39 mpg, Camry Hybrid XLT at 40/38 mpg.
The 2012 Toyota Camry comes in five models. Camry L ($21,955) uses the 2.5-liter I4 and is hard to find. More likely is a well-equipped Camry LE ($22,500), which comes standard with power doors and windows, cruise control, 60/40 rear folding seats, overhead console, display with 6.1-inch screen, AM/FM/CD/MP3/USB with iPod, Bluetooth hands-free phone capability, projector beam headlamps, manual front seat adjustment, and 16-inch steel wheels with wheelcovers.
Camry XLE ($24,725) adds a power moonroof, foglamps, heated outside mirrors, dual-zone automatic climate control, leather-wrapped steering wheel, leather-trimmed seats, heated front seats, power front seats, back-up camera, and 17-inch alloy wheels. Camry XLE V6 ($29,845) upgrades to the 3.5-liter V6 engine.
The sporty Camry SE ($23,000) and SE V6 ($26,640) has a thoroughly tuned suspension, sport mesh body-colored front grille, halogen headlamps, rocker panels and rear spoiler, SofTex-trimmed sport seats, paddle shifters, and 18-inch alloy wheels on the V6, 17-inch on the I4.
Safety equipment standard on all models includes 10 airbags, electronic stability control with traction control, ABS with Brake Assist and Brake Force Distribution, and a tire pressure monitoring system.
The redesigned 2012 Camry hasn't changed its size, as the wheelbase, length, track and height are the same within fractions of an inch. But the sheetmetal is 100 percent new, and a new roofline makes it slightly more slippery, at 0.27 Cd vs. the previous 0.28. It's quite attractive for a vanilla car, with clean sides and nice edges, with no lumpy cladding or gratuitous chrome. Hold up pics of the 2011 and 2012 side-by-side, and clearly see the styling evolution from yesterday to today.
In fact there's almost no chrome, which makes the new Camry look svelte. Indeed it has lost weight, 150 pounds (220 pounds for the Hybrid). It might all be under the skin, but no matter, it's all good. What Toyota calls aero-corner design enhances this image. Hips and shoulders tucked in.
The Camry LE uses wheelcovers over 16-inch steel wheels, the Camry XLE uses 17-inch alloy wheels, and the Camry SE uses 17- or 18-inchers. All three styles successfully avoid cookie cutting, with the LE's 20-spoke titanium-tinted wheelcovers ironically being the most ambitious and eye-catching, if not the classiest.
The new roofline angles the windshield more steeply. There's a nice character line under the windows slanting slightly up to the rear deck, where there's a small spoiler lip on the SE. Windows outlined in chrome, but no more, except for a thin strip at the rocker level on the LE and XLE. Body-colored door handles on all models.
The face of the Camry SE is tweaked, for the better, with body color over the black mesh grille, and more aggressive air intakes in the valance under the bumper. Headlamps are the same, angled, narrow and sleek, with a neat little notch in the line at the bottom.
Interior dimensions for the seventh-generation 2012 Camry are within fractions of an inch of the sixth-generation (2007-11) models. There's a bit more backseat legroom, with 38.9 inches on a flat rear floor decent for a midsize car. Some interior parts have been thinned to create more eye, knee and elbow room: A-pillars, control panels on the doors, front seatbacks, center console.
Interior materials are different depending on the model, with the Camry L, LE and XLE using a nice standard fabric, and the Camry SE fabric with SofTex synthetic leather trim. Real leather is available on the Camry XLE I4 and standard on the XLE V6, with leather-trimmed ultrasuede available on the SE and XLE Hybrid.
The fit of the front buckets is good on the Camry LE and XLE, with more bolstering on the SE. The Camry Hybrid has its own material, more like the SE. Trims are different too: LE is silver, XLE wood, SE silver grain, and Hybrid a metallic tech grain.
Steering wheels too, with LE a four-spoke urethane, XLE four-spoke leather, and SE four-spoke leather. They all work well enough, no inconveniences noted in driving all four models.
The Camry LE feels quiet, solid and firm; but the XLE with optional leather and a grander display screen feels markedly uptown.
It's hard to make a dashboard not boring, because after all it is a board, but the Camry succeeds. The standard leather is overlapped in an arc with neat stitching, for a saddle-like effect; new passengers will compliment it and maybe run their hands over the seam. The little window for the clock up at the top looks like a hood scoop.
We found the driver's position comfortable, with thoughtful padding for the driver's right leg against the center console, and high armrests. Decent door pocket, great cubby forward in the center console, big glovebox with light door.
The instrument panel is all new for 2012. The four Camry models have four different faces, and those on the LE, XLE and SE are in 3D. We wonder what the stripper Camry L model without the 3D face looks like. Instruments are the same, only difference is in the rings around the gauges, chrome or satin.
The Hybrid's panel is the same only prettier. In Toyota-speak it has optitron meters with white illumination, blue metallic printing, and white lighting pointer. Three gauges, with clear dials and numbers that glow up at you in crystal clear white. We like it. Another plus: relocation of the battery packs increase the trunk space in the Camry Hybrid to 13.1 cubic feet (from the previous 10.6).
Trunk space on all Camry models except the Hybrid is a roomy 15.4 cubic feet.
The manually operated climate control has big dials and easy buttons on the Camry LE. The automatic climate control on Camry XLE uses a 6.1-inch LCD touch-screen also used for radio tuning, and navigation. The screen grows to 7 inches with upgrade systems.
In pursuit of fuel mileage, the torque converter ratio was changed to lower the revs at freeway speeds, making the car quieter inside; at 70 mph you can't hear the motor. But you can hear the tire noise, new tires with less rolling resistance, louder on the pavement.
There's the optional JBL Green Edge sound system, which uses up to 58 percent less power and is 27 percent lighter; and Entune, which does Bing searches and allegedly enables you to buy movie tickets while you're driving into the city on a crowded freeway in a hurry at night, and stuff like that. Safely and simply they say, and we say don't believe it. It can all be bundled with navigation and satellite radio and voice recognition, and controlled on the 7-inch touch screen. Have fun, good luck, and don't crash.
Driving Impression
Ironically, after driving four models of the 2012 Toyota Camry, we think the model we didn't drive might be the call. That would be a Camry SE with the I4 engine, rather than our V6. That's because the Camry SE is tighter than the Camry XLE or LE; and the 178-hp I4 is quick, silent and smooth, no matter that the 268-hp V6 is faster. Both the I4 and V6 are carried over, the I4 new in 2010 and V6 new for 2011.
On the Camry XLE, using the lighter 6-speed for the I4, we noted good ratios, smooth upshifts and invisible kickdowns around town. With the I4, to get 30 mpg with that kind of performance is great. Toyota boasts a range of 650 miles, at 35 highway mpg.
Four-cylinder and V6 models use a 6-speed automatic that on the Camry SE comes with paddle shifters and normal and sport modes. No problems with the way the transmissions were programmed; both 5th and 6th gears in the V6 transmission are overdrives, with 6th being super overdrive at 0.068:1, for highway fuel mileage. There's a big leap between 1st and 2nd gears, but the 248 foot-pounds of torque in the V6 can make it.
The even-keel Camry SE suspension might be too firm for some; we didn't find it uncomfortable, but did find the softer Camry XLE more relaxing around town. We preferred the SE's tighter steering in all circumstances. Slightly bigger brakes felt good too, sensitive with good feel.
The Hybrid uses a new 2.5-liter Atkinson Cycle engine in 2012, with more horsepower and electric power than before. It feels like a totally different car than the I4 or V6. It slows everything down and it feels bigger; even the seats feel wider. Don't expect much from acceleration, cornering, or quick response, although Toyota says 0-60 acceleration is 0.5 seconds quicker than before.
Braking is regenerative and sensitive, sometimes diving the nose. It's quieter, when you're not straining at throttle, but the tire noise on a rough freeway is still there.
Eco mode reduces the throttle opening, slowing the car way down, although Eco defaults to Power mode when you need more speed. EV mode with a good charge couldn't get us out of the parking lot. It wouldn't even run the air conditioner with the car at a standstill. The Hybrid is more slippery in the wind, with underbody fairing panels lowering the Cd to 0.27, but a small blue badge is the only visible difference.
The Camry XLE Hybrid is rated at 40 combined mpg (on Premium gasoline because the compression ratio with the Atkinson Cycle is raised to 12.5:1). We actually saw 45 mpg on our test run, probably because we were aghast at the idea of booting it.
The Toyota Camry is redesigned for 2012, using a two-year-old I4 engine, one-year-old V6, and new hybrid. It features a more rigid chassis and sleeker body, with a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission. Camry powertrains are so different you should consider your needs or drive them all before you choose. The I4 is exceptional, with good smooth response while delivering 30 mpg combined. The suspension is comfortable and all-new interior clean and convenient, while infotainment options can move the Camry upscale.

Customer Service
All ferrets have white hair at birth, but as they age, their guard hairs will start to darken (or will remain the same), and the result is one of a variety of different colors.
Sable is the most common ferret coat color, and it is characterized by dark guard hairs that range from dark brown to black. The undercoat is cream, and it may show through the guard hairs a little or a lot. A true sable has brown or almost black eyes, and the nose can be pink, pink with brown patches, or black. Sables have a dark brown mask of fur around their eyes.
Black Sable
A black sable has guard hairs so dark they appear black and a white or cream colored undercoat that barely shows through the guard hairs. Their eyes are dark brown or black, and the preferred nose color is an ash or blackish brown. Some black sables will have a speckled black or brown nose.
A chocolate is a variation of a sable. Chocolates get their name from the unique milk chocolate brown shade of their guard hairs. Their undercoats are white or slightly golden. Their eyes are usually brown or dark burgundy, and the nose can be pink, brown, or a patchy combination of the two.
A champagne is a variation of a chocolate. The guard hairs are tan or diluted chocolate, and the undercoat is white or cream. The eyes are light to dark burgundy, and the preferred nose color is pink, beige, or a combination of the two.
Cinnamon ferrets are fairly rare, and they are characterized by light brown guard hairs with a strong reddish tone. The actual coat color can range from reddish brown to almost blonde. Their legs and tail are a slightly darker color than their body, and the mask is a shade or two lighter. The eyes are light or dark burgundy, and the nose can be brick colored, beige, light brown, or pink.
Dark-eyed White
Dark-eyed whites (DEW's) are often mistaken for albinos, but DEW's do not lack pigmentation. Their fur (guard hairs and undercoat) is mainly white to cream colored, though there may be some dark hairs sprinkled throughout on their back. Their eye color can range from burgundy to brown or black, and their noses are pink, black, or mottled. They are also known as Black-eyed whites or Dark-eyed White Patterns.
This coat color has a number of variations ranging from light silver to almost gray. Many silvers will eventually lose all of their silver markings and end up as Dark-eyed Whites. The guard hairs can be silver, dark gray, and white. Some silvers have a definite pattern of silver hairs all over their body, while others will only have some silver rings around their tail. Silvers generally lack a full mask, instead having smudges of silver color around their eyes, which are dark brown or black. Their noses can be pink, black, or patchy. They are often referred to as black roans.
Normal coat changes occur as a ferret ages, during periods where they are in rut or estrus, and during the changing of the seasons. Some ferrets will be one color during the summer and a completely different color during the winter. We strongly recommend that when choosing a ferret, you make your decision based on personality and compatibility rather than appearance.

How small can you go?
The world's smallest ever beam size of 55 nanometres was achieved by the ATF2 facility at KEK, reported Nobuhiro Terunuma at the AWLC workshop held at Fermilab. And what is more, the results are reproducible, which means that for the ILC, a recovery after a short break would be no issue.
