Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls is both the name of a group of waterfalls and of the cities that surround them. The Falls are part of the Niagara River, which connects Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. The border between Canada and the United States lies along the centre of the river.
There are two cities called Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls only dedicated discussion forum, For residents and tourists planning a visit to Niagara Falls. Read reviews, ask questions that will be answered by local experts. These cities are on the American side and the Canadian side of the falls, respectively. They are connected by the Rainbow Bridge and the Whirlpool Rapids Bridge.
The Niagara Falls consist of three sections. The large Canadian falls – with their distinctive curved shape – are also known as the "Horseshoe Falls". They are separated by Goat Island from the American Falls, which are separated by a small island at their south end, from the narrow Bridal Veil falls. Each side offers a different perspective. The American side offers great views of the Canadian Horseshoe falls and the hotel skyline on the Canadian side. The Canadian side offers views of both the American and Horseshoe Falls. The Canadian side is usually the most popular due to its view of both falls and the number of attractions and hotels. Although the Canadian side of the falls has more to do and see, it is always best to visit both sides to maximize your experience.
Get in
By car
Niagara Falls is one hour by car with no traffic, two with traffic from Toronto and a half hour from Buffalo (New York)
By bus
Trentway-Wagar and Coach Canada offer a joint service to Niagara Falls (Canada side) from Toronto via St. Catharines. Adult same-day return fare is roughly $30. There are several departures to and from Niagara Falls per day. Phone: 1-800-461-7661, web: http://www.coachcanada.com/
Visitors staying in Toronto can catch a tour from various Niagara Falls tour providers. The following tour companies offer pick-up from all hotels in Toronto:
By train
Its about 9 hours direct to Niagara Falls, NY from Penn Station in New York City
Get around
During the busiest tourist season (May - October), The Parkway along the Canadian side of the falls can become very crowded and finding a "picture perfect" view of the falls can be hard to do, walking to the attractions can also be slow during peak tourist season with thousands of people bustling by. There is a "People Mover" system which runs on the Parkway along the river. There are pickup points all along the parkway, including near the bus terminal. There are also several tour services that offer the option to buy a hop on hop off pass, which allows you to board any of the tour buses at any stop point thoroughout the day.
Just a short drive from Niagara Falls is a small pizzaria called Papa Vince Pizza. Papa Vince has great pizza and wings, but where it really stands out is with their steak sub. You need to try a fatty! They deliver to hotels outside of Niagara Falls.
Stay safe

|ESPN Founder Tour 2019 - 2020
|find out more
The George Washington of ESPN led a different kind of revolution than our country's first President. Bill Rasmussen and his tiny band of "cable TV patriots" charged into the advertising canyons of Manhattan and traveled across an America populated by sports fans armed with nothing more than an idea of freeing those fans from the regulated and sparse sports offerings of the "Big Three" networks: ABC, CBS and NBC.
Bill was fired by the New England Whalers on Memorial Day weekend in 1978. Before the calendar turned another full year, he had met with virtually every major sports entity, all major cable operators and numerous potential financial backers. There were plenty of skeptics and few believers.
Undeterred, Bill set about turning skeptics into believers. An NCAA contract added credibility; a few major cable operators cautiously embraced the idea; then Anheuser-Busch became cable TV's first million-dollar advertiser. When Getty Oil agreed to finance the venture, the elements were in place for a September 7, 1979 launch of the world's first 24-hour network. Launched - yes, but there was more to come!
The NFL on ESPN was another marquee property worth pursuing. Bill met with NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle before ESPN was even launched. After listening carefully, Rozelle commented thoughtfully, "Not now, but someday." Someday did arrive at ESPN... just 8 years later in 1987... and since 2006 the brightest television star of the NFL galaxy - Monday Night Football - has called ESPN home!!!
Today, with a global presence in more than 200 countries and over 100 million television households in the United States, ESPN has indeed turned skeptics into believers worldwide.
Schedule Bill for an unforgettable journey back through the days of the Birth of ESPN - The Worldwide Leader in Sports. Share the Dream!

Product Description
The gap between rich and poor has never been wider . . . legislative stalemate paralyzes the country . . . corporations resist federal regulations . . . spectacular mergers produce giant companies . . . the influence of money in politics deepens . . . bombs explode in crowded streets . . . small wars proliferate far from our shores . . . a dizzying array of inventions speeds the pace of daily life.

These unnervingly familiar headlines serve as the backdrop for Doris Kearns Goodwin's highly anticipated The Bully Pulpit—a dynamic history of the first decade of the Progressive era, that tumultuous time when the nation was coming unseamed and reform was in the air.

The story is told through the intense friendship of Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft—a close relationship that strengthens both men before it ruptures in 1912, when they engage in a brutal fight for the presidential nomination that divides their wives, their children, and their closest friends, while crippling the progressive wing of the Republican Party, causing Democrat Woodrow Wilson to be elected, and changing the country's history.

The Bully Pulpit is also the story of the muckraking press, which arouses the spirit of reform that helps Roosevelt push the government to shed its laissez-faire attitude toward robber barons, corrupt politicians, and corporate exploiters of our natural resources. The muckrakers are portrayed through the greatest group of journalists ever assembled at one magazine—Ida Tarbell, Ray Stannard Baker, Lincoln Steffens, and William Allen White—teamed under the mercurial genius of publisher S. S. McClure.

Goodwin's narrative is founded upon a wealth of primary materials. The correspondence of more than four hundred letters between Roosevelt and Taft begins in their early thirties and ends only months before Roosevelt's death. Edith Roosevelt and Nellie Taft kept diaries. The muckrakers wrote hundreds of letters to one another, kept journals, and wrote their memoirs. The letters of Captain Archie Butt, who served as a personal aide to both Roosevelt and Taft, provide an intimate view of both men.

The Bully Pulpit, like Goodwin's brilliant chronicles of the Civil War and World War II, exquisitely demonstrates her distinctive ability to combine scholarly rigor with accessibility. It is a major work of history—an examination of leadership in a rare moment of activism and reform that brought the country closer to its founding ideals.

Amazon.com Review
An Amazon Best Book of the Month, November 2013:  In an era when cooperation between the national media and the US government seems laughable, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Doris Kearns Goodwin's timely 100-year look backward explores the origins of the type of muckraking journalism that helped make America a better country. Focusing on the presidencies of Theodore Roosevelt and his successor, William Howard Taft--one-time colleagues and friends who later became sworn foes--Goodwin chronicles the birth of an activist press, which occurred when five of the nation's best-ever journalists converged at McClure's magazine and helped usher in the Progressive era. At times slow and overly meticulous, with a lot of backstory and historical minutiae, this is nonetheless a lush, lively, and surprisingly urgent story--a series of entwined stories, actually, with headstrong and irascible characters who had me pining for journalism's earlier days. It's a big book that cries out for a weekend in a cabin, a book to get fully lost in, to hole up with and ignore the modern world, to experience the days when newsmen and women were our heroes. --Neal Thompson

| Throwing in the Noctowl
First broadcast
English themes
Japanese themes
Throwing in the Noctowl (Japanese: とべホーホーごう!アサギをめざし!! Fly Flight Hoho! Head for Asagi!!) is the 223rd episode of the Pokémon anime. It was first broadcast in Japan on November 8, 2001 and in the United States on December 14, 2002.
|Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
At Transit Town, Ash gives Janina a call to check on Sparkle the Ampharos, and to see if Jasmine is ready for their Gym battle. Janina gives them good news, and Ash and the others set off for the last boat out to Olivine City, but they wind up missing it! Ash asks an old man about the next ferry, and is told that there are no more until tomorrow. The old man directs him to a plane service called the Hoothoot Express that might be able to help them.
When they arrive, they find that the old man is actually the owner of the plane, Wings Alexander. Wings used to be a great Pokémon Trainer back in the day, winning many a battle with the help of his Hoothoot. He asks the kids to help him with his chores, and then he will fly them to Olivine City.
They get on the plane and find a Noctowl in the co-pilot seat—it's Wings's Hoothoot, now evolved. They take off, only to be hit by an approaching storm. In their balloon, the members of Team Rocket are also caught in the storm, and they ask the pilot for help. Wings invites them on board.
It takes the combined power of both Ash and Wings's Noctowl to keep the plane aloft while Pikachu draws the lightning away! Wings notices the lighthouse in the distance, showing him which way to go to avoid the cliffs, while Team Rocket goes blasting off again.
Finally, the plane lands in Olivine City, and Ash begins to prepare for his long-awaited battle with Gym Leader Jasmine!
Ash and his friends are just one city away from Olivine. Ash calls Janina to tell her that he's coming back to Olivine City. The group heads out for the port, but it looks like again there's no ferry for a long while back to Olivine. Ash notices an old man fishing on the pier and asks him when the next ferry will come by. The response was obviously a no, but he does mention that there is an airport that'll take them to Olivine City. The group decides on if they should go over there, but why not? Ash turns around to thank the old man, but oddly he's missing, or running off somewhere.
They get to the airport, which looks more like an abandoned airstrip. They check out the hanger, when an old pilot comes out of the door. They recognize that he was that fisherman from before. Of course, he'll give them a ride to Olivine City, but first a few things before they leave. The old pilot starts feeding a few Sandshrew in a barn, which there's a lot more Pokémon to feed. Then he just talks about his Hoothoot that he raised when he was younger. Except while he was talking, the group was doing most of the work. They just wanted to get to Olivine as fast as they could.
So finally they got on board the plane, which seems a little shabby, but it works. In the cockpit's co-pilot seat was a sleeping Noctowl, which was really the old pilot's Hoothoot. It seems now the Noctowl doesn't do much, but sooner or later it wakes up. The old man tries to start up the plane, but the plane needs some refueling. Either way they take off and head back to Olivine.
After awhile in flight, a storm builds up. Of course, the old man still goes on course, thinking that he could out ride any storm. But a little ways away was Team Rocket in their balloon. They seem to have trouble themselves and don't think they can handle the storm. Then they see the plane and start yelling for help. Ash notices Team Rocket's voices outside and looks back. The question would be, help them or not? In the end they help Team Rocket on to the plane, only under one condition, they have to say a bunch of "I know this was wrong" lines. Then Wobbuffet comes out and makes a hole in the plane. James still has a hold of the plane but everyone else is holding onto him.
The storm gets worse and soon one of the engines start to come off. If this happens then they'll crash right into the ocean. So Ash opens up the door and jumps out onto the side and climbs up to the top. He has a little trouble holding on so Brock sends out Crobat to help Ash. After Ash gets in a stable place, he sends out Bulbasaur to hold onto the loose engine. Now the other engine starts to come off, so Ash sends out Bayleef to hold that one in place. A while away from the plane, Jigglypuff floats by. Jigglypuff starts to head over to the plane. Just as things seem to get better, Meowth spots Jigglypuff on the wing. Everyone starts to panic, except for the old man. Before anyone could stop Jigglypuff, she sings. Everyone falls asleep and as always, Jigglypuff gets angry, but before she could do anything, she gets picked up by another gust of wind.
Ash wakes up first, then everyone else, but without much control, the plane is headed straight for the ocean! The old man starts to go against the descent but the plane can shake it. Misty calls out Poliwhirl and Staryu, getting into good positions and they squirt a Water Gun to the ocean, which picks them back up and into the sky. The storm grows progressively worse, now lightning starts to form up. At that minute, the Noctowl wakes up and then flies around the plane with a rope making a secure wrap around it and tugging it. Ash releases his Noctowl to help out the other one. In the back however, Team Rocket starts a little planning on how to get Pikachu, but is cut short when Wobbuffet again pops out, making the cover of the hole break through.
The lightning now is a little too close for comfort. Brock says that Pikachu's electricity can act as a lightning rod, in a sense. So Pikachu climbs up to the top of the plane and releases a Thunderbolt in the sky, which attracts the lightning to that spot. Soon all the lightning becomes unstable and explodes in the sky in a flash of light. After that, the old man seems to see a light shining in the distance, except it's level and they're still in the air... or are they? He immediately pulls the plane upwards now noticing the plane is way too near the cliff near Olivine. They clear the cliff and are now back to the Johto mainland.

Our exclusive Autowlok™ locking system, a patented storage latch and ROADMASTER's well-deserved reputation for reliability are all built-in features on the Falcon 2.
• One-person quick-connect and disconnect
At the towed vehicle…
Thanks to an exclusive, self-supporting quick-disconnect system, one person can easily connect or disconnect the Falcon 2 in seconds. (These baseplates also make it extremely easy to attach accessories such as the
Guardian™, Stowaway and the Tow Defender).
And at the motorhome…
Telescoping, independently-adjustable inner arms are easy to maneuver into position. Simply pin them in place and then drive your motorhome away and the arms automatically center and lock in place.
• The largest hook-up radius in the industry means you don't waste time lining up your towed vehicle. You can't say this about many things in life but connecting the Falcon 2 is just like horseshoes — "close" is good enough!
• Self-lubricating nylon bushings eliminate friction between the inner and outer arms for smooth, easy operation. Other tow bars have steel riding on steel.
• Autowlok locking mechanism
This mechanism is so reliable and safe that it's been used since 1984 on more than 250,000 Falcon and StowMaster™ tow bars.
• Motorhome-mounted
When you reach your destination, the Falcon 2 conveniently stores out of the way on the back of the motorhome.
• Solid stainless steel inner arms
Solid stainless steel inner arms for smooth, trouble-free operation and easy maintenance. Stainless steel looks better, lasts longer and prevents corrosion that binds — ROADMASTER tow bars are the most rust-free in the industry.
• Full-length steel crossbar — reinforced for maximum support and safety.
• A lustrous, high-tech powder coat finish for maximum durability. This finish exceeds all 500-hour salt spray, high-impact and extreme weather standards. In this process, charged particles of pigment are sprayed onto the surface of the tow bar, then baked at more than 400 degrees. The paint fuses to the metal. The result is a uniform, thick and extremely durable finish — three times stronger than solvent-based paint.
If that sounds complicated, that's because it is — FEA is the same method NASA scientists use to test their new designs. The automotive, architectural and biomedical industries, among others, also use finite elemental analysis.
• Made in the U.S.A.
All of our core products are designed, engineered and manufactured at our plant in Vancouver, Washington, with virtually every process done under the same roof. When we say, "we made it," that's what we mean ™ we didn't just assemble it; we made it.

Cape Wind Associates cleared another hurdle with the approval by the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities (DPU) of the 15-year power purchase agreement with National Grid to buy Cape Wind's energy, capacity and renewable energy credits.
Cape Wind is planning a 468 MW wind farm consisting of 130 turbines in Horseshoe Shoal off the coast of Nantucket Sound, Mass.
Cape Wind, however, still needs to find a buyer for the other half of the project's output.
The company hopes to secure financing in the first half of next year and to begin construction by the end of 2011.
According to Cape Wind, the DPU decision culminates a comprehensive six-month review, including 13 days of evidentiary hearings with testimony from 15 witnesses, 1,362 exhibits and nearly 3,000 transcript pages.
Before Cape Wind can begin construction of the offshore wind project, the developer still needs to obtain approval from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Hi Everyone!
Today I'm going to share my projects using Penny Black favorite stamps from latest collection. It's not easy to have a favorite among these gorgeous stamps! I love Mimi, I love Critters, and i adore flowers. but working with Penny Black stamps which was illustrated by Mo Manning is very new to me. That's why i picked them!
Since next week i'll be going to Thailand (yay! holiday!) I'm thinking to make some handmade gifts for my friends there. I made 2 post-it holders. One is for my friend who is a doctor, which is perfect with this Wishing you Well stamp.And another with You are a Peach stamp! I LOVE her hair buns.

text: I have over ten years experience editing and ghostwriting in a variety of domains. I'm currently seekig projects to edit and/or proofread. There is no need for payment in advance--I will edit and/or proofread whatever projects you may have, be it a novel, a thesis paper, or short story, in exchange for a donation to be paid upon acceptance of the work. The reason I'm electing to do this in such an unusual way is that I'm an American citizen presently overseas who's lost everything, including my passport. It's my hope that I will get a sufficient amount of work to read and correct and make enough to at least get my passport and a place to stay. If anyone out there has something to correct please feel free to contact me. When you see the great work I do I think you will find it within your heart to donate a few dollars. Looking forward to hearing from someone out there.

Towson Men's and Women's Basketball to Open Tiger Arena with Doubleheader Against Navy
The Inaugural Games in Tiger Arena Will Take Place on November 8
TOWSON, Md. – The Towson University men's and women's basketball teams will open Tiger Arena with a doubleheader against the United States Naval Academy on Nov. 8, 2013, it was announced by Director of Athletics Mike Waddell today.
"Opening our new arena with a doubleheader against the United States Naval Academy will be a great night for Towson University and college basketball in Baltimore and the State of Maryland," said Waddell. "To have 5,200 plus fans on our campus experiencing all that our game atmosphere will be in the newest arena on the East Coast will be a happening that will launch a new era in Tiger Basketball. This venue will be a showplace for the Black and Gold and also for other basketball, volleyball, gymnastics and community events year round."
Tip times for both games are still to be determined along with the rest of the Tiger men's and women's basketball schedules, in the fall.
"We're excited to welcome the Naval Academy for the first basketball games to be played inside Tiger Arena," said Towson men's basketball head coach Pat Skerry. "Navy is a quality opponent and we are happy to be playing a team from the state of Maryland in our first game. The atmosphere should be electric as our fans will have their first chance to step in to the nicest arena in the Mid-Atlantic."
"What a tremendous way to begin a new era of Towson basketball," said Towson women's basketball head coach Joe Mathews. "I cannot think of a more exciting and relevant way to open Tiger Arena. The opportunity to celebrate by watching a doubleheader featuring both women's and men's programs as we take a major step to the future is significant, but to add the United States Naval Academy as the opponent turns it into major event. This is a great way to launch a new beginning as well as way to pay tribute to and thank the military across the world that provide us the freedoms such as this event to enjoy."
Tiger Arena is a state-of-the-art, high-tech venue that will also serve as the home for Towson gymnastics and volleyball. The venue will feature approximately four premium mezzanine level private suites, approximately 340 premium loge club seats around the top of the lower bowl, and 120 courtside seats.
Additional amenities include a 1500 sq. ft. hospitality room, and a 680 sq. ft. multipurpose room on the mezzanine on the concourse level. A new state of the art multimedia studio will also be constructed that will be the nerve center of all TIGERVISION operations for both the Arena and Johnny Unitas® Stadium.
"This event begins it all in style on college basketball's "first night" and will bookend when both Towson teams play their 2014 CAA Tournaments in Maryland," said Waddell. "The state will be the host of both CAA post-season tournaments, with the women at the Showplace Arena in Upper Marlboro and the men at the first-ever CAA Tournament downtown at First Mariner Arena in March of 2014."

'Dream Defenders' continue sit-in in Florida's Governor's office
'Dream Defenders' continue sit-in in Florida's Governor's office
By James Harper From the Florida Courier
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore – And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over — like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
— Langston Hughes
The group of college aged-students who have kept Florida Gov. Rick Scott out of his Tallahassee office off and on for more than two weeks call themselves the "Dream Defenders." Their goal is to make sure the dreams of their generation are not "deferred," a reference to Langston Hughes' famous poem titled "Harlem (Dream Deferred)."
"We are here to no longer defer the dream. These issues are real to our generation. This is our movement, though we welcome icons of the past," said Curtis Hierro, the group's field secretary. "We are a movement of a new generation. We can't rely on other people to do it for us. We are an organized youth resistance. The onus is on us to organize and bring people here."
Their movement has brought civil rights leader Jesse Jackson, entertainer Harry Belafonte, and others to Tallahassee to support them.
Hierro is a recent graduate of the University of Central Florida in Orlando.The Dream Defenders first organized themselves in April 2012. Students from Bethune-Cookman University, Florida A&M University, Tallahassee Community College, and other schools set out on a three-day, 41-mile journey from Daytona Beach to Sanford to protest the improper hand-ling of the Trayvon Martin case by Sanford authorities.
About 40 students from Gainesville, Tallahassee, Miami and Daytona Beach kicked off the march, which was organized to pay homage to Dr. Martin Luther King's march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama.
The group began the march at a local Daytona Beach park and rested at churches along their way to Sanford. The march ended three days later at Allen Chapel AME Church in Sanford, which has been ground zero in the city where Martin was killed by George Zimmerman on Feb. 26, 2012.
Active again
The protesters were spurred to action again after Zimmer-man was acquitted on July 13 after his jury trial.
On July 16, about 40 students sat in at the governor's office in Tallahassee, waiting for Scott to return from a trip to New York and take up their demand for a special legislative session addressing laws they say unfairly affect non-White youth.
They want Scott to call a special session to create a Trayvon Martin Civil Rights Act and address "Stand Your Ground vigilantism, racial profiling and a war on youth that paints us as criminals and funnels us out of schools and into jails."
At the time, Scott's office put out a statement suggesting that Scott would not meet their demands.
"As the governor has said, as a father and a grandfather, his heart goes out to Trayvon Martin's family and all those affected by his death," said Communications Director Melissa Sellers in an email. "We are grateful that people across our great nation have the right to assemble and share their views. …
"Immediately following Trayvon Martin's death, Gov. Scott called a bipartisan special task force with 19 citizens to review Florida's Stand Your Ground law. This task force listened to Floridians across the state and heard their view-points and expert opinions on this law. The task force recommended that the law should not be overturned, and Gov. Scott agrees."
Scott also called for "a day of prayer" throughout Florida.
A meeting
After putting them off for five days, Scott did finally meet with the Dream Defenders, only to tell them that he supported "Stand Your Ground" and had no intention of calling a special session.
After the meeting, Scott left town again, but not before sending Department of Juvenile Justice Secretary Wansley Walters to chat with students for several hours on Aug. 22.
Dream Defenders Political Director Ciara Taylor said of Walters' visit: "While we appreciate Secretary Walters taking the time to meet with us, we believe the time for talk has passed.
"We currently find ourselves in a state of emergency. There is a growing fear among Black and Brown young people in Florida that their lives are of little value to the state, and the governor's unwillingness to do anything about it is disappointing to us all…."
"We urge both Governor Scott and Secretary Wansley to take our calls for justice for Florida's youth seriously and to correct the circumstances that led to the killing of Trayvon Martin last year: racial profiling, Stand Your Ground vigilantism, and the school-to-prison pipeline."
The sit-in continued. As of the Florida Courier's press time late Wednesday night, the Dream Defenders were still occupying the governor's office.
Not going any where
Hierro said the Dream Defenders are not going anywhere, even if that means maintaining their protests at the governor's office until March 2014 – Florida's next regularly scheduled legislative session.
"Our goal is to put pressure on. We are going to be here until they come to the table with something.
"They keep talking about costs. What's the cost of a human life?" Hierro said, referring to media reports that it is costing the state $5,000 a day to handle the protests.
"We are not going to sit idly by. We will move across the state and put in work on the ground," Hierro continued.
Movement will grow
He said whenever a legislative session does convene, Dream Defenders hope to have chapters in colleges and universities across the state that will organize and apply pressure to local state representatives and senators to vote to repeal "Stand Your Ground" and address other issues, including a national call to action to stop racial profiling and end the school-to-prison pipeline.
"Within this month, we expect more engagement as students return back to school. In the fall, we expect our base to experience growth," he said.
Hierro said they are organizers first and they are working to bring even more of their supporters to Tallahassee.
"We don't want any more George Zimmermans. (We want to) stop the climate of hate and injustice," he continued.
No leadership
Phillip Agnew, the organization's executive director, says Scott "is not exercising real leadership."
"So we will remain here, not to retry George Zimmerman, but to express our anger and disappointment at our governor for what happened under his watch peacefully, and to provide a constructive way forward," Agnew said.
"You cannot confront the world as it is without presenting a vision of the world as it should and could be," Agnew stated. "We envision a way forward for a new generation of Floridians – and Americans – that acknowledges race and confronts race, but is not shackled by race. We want to provide this generation with the power and the tools to remove the barriers that stand before us."
Melanie Andrade, president of the FAMU chapter of the Dream Defenders, added, "The governor told us when we met with him that we had big goals, big dreams. Our contention is if it isn't big or doesn't seem impossible at first, you can't call it a dream."

Soak morels in 3 cups very hot water for 30 minutes to re-hydrate. Lift them carefully from the hot water in order to leave any grit behind in the liquid. Discard the liquid, and dry the morels lightly with paper towels. Cut morels crosswise into 1/4-inch to 3/8-inch wide slices and set aside. Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken in flour, and shake off excess. Heat half the clarified butter (1/8 cup) in a large saute pan, and cook the chicken over medium heat for about 8 to 10 minutes. Flip the chicken and brown on the second side, 4 to 5 minutes more. Remove to an ovenproof casserole dish. Add the rest of the clarified butter (the other 1/8 cup) to the same saute pan, add the morels and button mushrooms, and cook gently over low heat for 2 minutes. Then add the Madeira and reduce the liquid by half.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
When the liquid is reduced, add the beef stock and heavy cream and bring to a gentle boil. Let the mushroom sauce cook until mixture starts to thicken, about 5 to 10 minutes. Pour the sauce over the chicken and bake covered in the oven until done, about 25 to 35 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh lemon juice and serve.

GerendumCEO necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 85 diseños de 22 diseñadores freelance.
Gerendum Estate Management
Gerendum is a brand new company operating in the Miami Beach area of South Florida providing an inclusive set of estate management services to absentee owners of high-end second homes. Gerendum started out of my own need for similar services, but upon investigation that resulted in zero companies doing anything close to what we are, I decided to start the business myself. Gerendum is an old English word that literally means: things to be done. Also, our acronym is "GEM" which is meant to subconsciously remind people of our exclusivity (however, this imagery should not be a conspicuous part of the design, rather could be used subtly if done well...) Finally, because in South Florida "property management" has a specific connotation, we have dubbed ourselves "estate management" to differentiate the services we are providing so that people understand we are NOT managing large apartment high-rises.
The services we will be providing are end-to-end. The idea is that from the moment a client turns the key in their residence until the time they leave they have had to do very little to manage the house hold. An example is Arrival and Departure Prep which means making sure the house is clean, the yard is manicured, the pool and hot tub are clean and heated to desired temperatures, the refrigerator is stocked as requested, the boats, jet-skis, cars, and scooters are fueled, etc.
Our target audience is condo or single family home owners that own second homes worth $2.5MM and up. Typically, they are an extremely affluent, service conscious group who appreciates ease of use and being able to outsource as much as they can to make their lives easier--and that's what Gerendum is all about. Our clients are looking for a complete solution that removes the hassle of owning a second home as they probably own several other homes as well.
Additionally, our primary marketing channel will be indirect focusing on realtors that possess and sell high-end listings.
The logo SHOULD be:
Clear, concise, clever, modern, and high-end.
I am indifferent about the use of colors. This may change once I start to see submissions, but as of right now, the sky is the limit.
Also, the logo should focus on "Gerendum." The "Estate Management" part can or can't be used as part of the logo. Use the option to your benefit. Again, my position on this may change, but will ultimately be informed by the responses.
Also, a real subtle use of Gem imagery in the white space would be really cool (and clever). Again, I don't want this to be the focus of the logo necessarily, but think it would kind of be like the arrow in FedEx... One of those things that you're sure to miss if you don't know what to look for...
The logo should NOT be:
In cursive
Look like its from 1999
More "NOTs" to be determined as submissions are entered.
Should not incorporate or make reference to geographical variables.
Have fun with this! We are a fun company run by a young team so we are receptive to a lot of different creativity! Also, feel free to ask additional questions. We will be monitoring the design process closely and will provide ample feedback. :-)

Russian Thugs Beat Up St. Patrick's Day Flash Mob After Mistaking Them For Gays
A fun St. Patrick's Day flash mob in Russia didn't go as planned when the students that were taking part were mistaken for pro-LGBT protesters...and were subsequently beaten in the streets.
A fight broke out after students at a language school held a belated St Patrick's Day flashmob in a mall in Irkutsk, a police spokesperson said.
"On Sunday evening, members of Easy School held a St Patrick's Day flashmob in the mall. Some youths came up to them and expressed displeasure at the proceedings. A conflict took place that grew into a fight on the square outside the mall," the spokesman said.
A law enforcement source told Interfax that the fight was based on a misunderstanding.
"The Easy School members were wearing historic costumes, particularly kilts and their opponents mistook them for representatives of non-traditional sexual orientation," the source said, using a Russian phrase meaning gay.
Here's video:
"Sorry, we thought you were homos! Our bad! Happy St. Paddy's Day!"
(H/T: Towleroad)
MInds that are conditioned to fear and that are constantly reinforced with misinformation operate on cues - automatons, machines of the State! [We should never assume that WE are free from such conditioning, because we are also conditioned!]. That is what we are seeing here: programmed hatred of non-heterosexuals because non-heterosexuals are not breeders. Putin needs to increase his younger population in order to have fresh minds for propagandizing - look at the images of himself that appear in the Russian media, and consider that he dumped his wife for a younger breeder-bitch: propagation to build the nation! He portrays himself as the supreme athlete and hunter-warrior. He is planning for a resurgence of the Russian people as the physically superior race: NO WONDER THE GERMANS ARE WORRIED HE WILL OPEN PANDORA'S BOX = EUGENICS! Pay attention, folks! The attack on non-heterosexuals is an attack on non-breeders despite whether those non-breeders are the INTELLECTUALS, THE SCIENTISTS, THE EDUCATORS, THE DOCTORS, THE LAWYERS, THE THINKERS - IN FACT, Make SURE THOSE are the ones who are targetted and wiped out in order for the engineered society to move forward. Bye-bye, America!

Jacknames.com is the name of my domain name business. Besides a large port of domains that I own/manage/develop, I'm also wanting to offer some other services on the website. I want my customers to be able to register domain names, get information about how to sell their domain names, feature domains I've got for sale, etc.
People who are into domain names.
I've already got a pretty slick logo and the design should use the elements I already have. The current logo can be found at http://www.tilt.fm/jacknames/. I'll upload links to the .eps files for all the jacknames IP resources.
The business card should be something unique that stands out. I'd like to see good use of a lot of color. But it should also be subtle. I'm not too worried about printing costs if you come up with a non-standard design, so feel free to be creative.

Simson Creative Solutions
We are two young swedish computer science graduates running a small software development company. We do everything from webpages to mobile apps. We want a logo that we can use on our website and on business cards etc. Our goal is to make new, cool and exciting stuff.
Our target audience is small to medium size businesses that want websites, custom software and mobile applications. We want our customers to know that we think outside the box and are always trying to find the optimal solution.
A part from that our goal is to develop smaller applications for iPhone, Android and web for individuals and also some open source development.
We want a simplistic logo with our company name and a icon that we can use where our name is to long to use. We want the logo to convey that we work with web and mobile application development and that we strive to be creative and think out of the box.
The logo we have now (you can find it attached to this document) is very simplistic but does not convey what we do. We would like the new logo to have some graphical element integrated with the company name in some way. The "icon" graphic should be original in its design so it can be used without the company name and still be recognized as our brand.
The logo should also be playful but not in any way childish. As far as colors go we are open for anything but we should be able to use it on different types of backgrounds and materials such as T-Shirts and envelopes.
Listed below are some logos we particularly like:
Simplistic but also very expressive, clean and simple - http://logopond.com/gallery/detail/60578
Also very simple but expressive - http://logopond.com/gallery/detail/117970
Discrete and fun - http://logopond.com/gallery/detail/122033
We like the illustrative and fun feel of this logo - http://logopond.com/gallery/detail/121600
We would like the design in the following formats:
Print file format - .ai
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd

Thinking about the comments from Bobo about the 'tweaks' to the game plan for South Carolina and the lack of rushing production in Lexington, is there something more in play here than merely trying to out smart other team's coordinators? The only difference is the loss of Michael Bennett, who was our best possession receiver. Was that the difference between an effective running game and not?
It is hard to say it is when your QB goes 75% for over 400 yards. It seemed we have decided that the power I is the wave of the future of Georgia offense, despite evidence that the dynamic rushing game from earlier in the season is lacking. To put it another way, is there something about the (now gone) opportunity for the offense to check into 'that' play against certain defensive sets that added to the rushing game?
I'm honestly baffled. It isn't like our offensive line is any different than it was. They are still getting beaten just about as much as they were and making holes as much as they were. I haven't re-watched the Kentucky game, but it seemed to me they were keeping both linebackers at home to keep us from being able to run. That should have allowed someone to have man coverage, probably on the inside, which is where Murray to Bennett made a living.

Here is the problem: We have a head coach that cannot put together the talent to show up for big games or win them and his team plays down to the talent level of its opponents.

Our Fitness Blog
Why You Should Be Strength Training
It is important to mix up our fitness routines as often as possible. This can ensure that we do not become bored with doing the same fitness routine over and over; however, it also helps us see results faster. When we do the same fitness routine over and over our bodies become use to it. We do not need to put in as much energy as before; therefore, our results seem to disappear. However, you can add an extra boost to your fitness routines by adding in some strength or resistance training to help get you back on track to achieving your fitness goals. Here are some other reasons to consider adding strength training to your regular fitness routine.
Boost your metabolism. After a few fitness routines with some weight lifting most of us will notice an increase in our resting metabolic rate. This is mainly due to the fact that muscle burns more calories than fat; therefore, even if you are not exercising you are still burning more calories than before. Even this little bit of difference can add up in the long run, especially if you incorporate a well-balanced diet into the mix.
Tone your body. It does not matter if you want to tone your body or get all pumped up. Every weight lifting routine is different, and you can easily find one to meet your needs. Most of us are not trying to look like the Incredible Hulk, and the good news is that we can tone our bodies with weights and not have to look like a bodybuilder. So, do not let the common misconception that if you lift weights, you'll look like a bodybuilder, stop you from getting the many benefits resistance training has to offer.
Stay injury free. A weight lifting routine can strengthen your body, which in turn can lower the risk of injuries during your fitness routine. Weight lifting not only strengthens your muscles but also focuses on strengthening your bones and the tendons and ligaments that offer support to our muscles. By strengthening different parts of your body, your body is better prepared to engage in a more strenuous fitness routine.
Get a feel good boost. Resistance training makes you feel better. Just like any other form of exercise, it can release those happy feeling endorphins into the body. This can give you a natural high making you happy and keeping anxiety at bay. You will also feel better about yourself when you look in a mirror. Being able to see how your body is changing for the better can make anyone feel better about themselves. You can also gain a sense of accomplishment by being able to do more reps or lift more weight than before.
It is easy to see why strength training is an important part of every fitness routine. It can increase our results and make them show up more quickly. It can make our bodies feel great. We will be stronger and more toned than we ever could have imagined. We will feel exhilarated inside and out.
What are some ways to add in strength training? Kettle bells, dumbbells, medicine balls and even bodyweight exercises (push ups, squats) work great! Hitting heavy bags (70-100 lb bags are resistance because your muscle contracts when it hits) are also in this category! One reason people don't do resistance exercise is because they don't know how easy it is to incorporate in their existing fitness routines and the awesome benefits. Once people find out the truth about strength training, they see how beneficial it can be, and they never look back, except to admire the view!

Since my oldest child started first grade, it seems that a lot of our at-home creating stopped. I felt guilty doing art projects while she was away and leaving her out of something she loves to do. When she would come home from school, there were so many things to get done that we didn't do many fun things then, either. I am getting over that feeling now, and we are starting to have MUCH more fun together at home. My two youngest girls are now learning and growing so much with the projects and fun play we are engaging in.
The other day my Maisy wanted to create her own rock pets, inspired from some rock bugs she created at a craft camp last summer. We have a ton of rocks in our backyard so we selected our favorites, washed them off and they painted them according to their own imaginations. Here's how they looked:

Judith Butler: The End of Oslo
Among the many astonishing claims that Barack Obama made in his recent speech opposing the Palestinian bid for statehood was that 'peace will not come through statements and resolutions.' This is, at best, an odd thing to say for a president whose ascendancy to power itself depended on the compelling use of rhetoric. Indeed, his argument against the power of statements and resolutions at the United Nations to achieve peace was a rhetorical ploy that sought to minimise the power of rhetorical ploys. More important, it was an effort to make sure that the United States government remains the custodian and broker of any peace negotiation, so his speech was effectively a way of trying to reassert that position of custodial power in response to the greatest challenge it has received in decades. And most important, his speech was an effort to counter and drain the rhetorical force of the very public statements that are seeking to expose the sham of the peace negotiations, to break with the Oslo framework, and to internationalise the political process to facilitate Palestinian statehood.
There are reasons to question whether the Palestinian bid for statehood at this time and on these terms is the right thing to do, but they are not the ones that Netanyahu put forward in his blustery and arrogant remarks. Within the Palestinian debates, many have questioned whether the present bid for statehood effectively abandons the right of return for diasporic Palestinians, leaves unaddressed the structural discrimination against Palestinians within the current borders of Israel, potentially abandons Gaza, delegitimises the Palestinian Liberation Organisation by elevating the Palestinian Authority into a state structure, takes off the table the one-state solution, and mistakenly relies on the UN as an arbiter rather than insisting that Palestinian self-determination form the basis of any future state. Critics like Ali Abunimah, the editor of the Electronic Intifada, argue that the UN has proven itself time and again to be a venue for paralysis, given the veto rules that govern the Security Council and secure the hegemony of major powers, making it likely that the present bid for statehood will be defeated by a US veto.
And yet, one effect that is already felt as a consequence of these 'resolutions and statements' is that the 1993 Oslo Accords can no longer be presumed to be the framework for future negotiations – indeed, we may see that framework crumble definitively in the coming days. Oslo not only gave the US a privileged position as broker of all 'peace' negotiations, but effectively sponsored the massive growth of Israeli settlements on Palestinian land by refusing to recognise their illegal status according to international law. In fact, the Oslo years have seen the number of settlers grow from 241,500 in 1992 to 490,000 in 2010 (including East Jerusalem), and the indefinite deferral of all 'permanent status issues' – effectively establishing the occupation as a regime without foreseeable end. The Oslo Accords also implemented the principle that any change of status of Occupied Palestine would depend on the 'consent' of Israel. Thus, the power of Israel to decide the future of Palestine pre-empted the international right of Palestinians to self-determination.
The demise of Oslo as an obligatory framework may well be the most powerful immediate effect of the Palestinian bid for statehood. And yet, a serious debate remains about whether the present bid undermines the broader political right of Palestinian self-determination. Those who oppose the internationalisation of the process underscore that half of all Palestinians may well be disenfranchised if this bid is successful. Can the brokering of statehood through an international body such as the UN confirm the rights of Palestinians to self-determination without external interference? If the Palestinian Authority becomes synonymous with statehood, does that imply a sacrifice of the right of return for millions of Palestinians outside the region? And does it also abandon Gaza and minority rights within Israel? If the rights of self-determination are a collective right of all Palestinians, Omar Barghouti argues, then the UN must preserve the status of the PLO as the rightful representative of the Palestinian people. Perhaps the most devastating criticism has been levelled by Joseph Massad, who understands the present bid for statehood to efface the historic claims of the Palestinian people. On the al-Jazeera website, he writes:
The question… is not whether the UN should recognise the right of the Palestinian people to a state in accordance with the 1947 UN Partition Plan, which would grant them 45 per cent of historic Palestine, nor of a Palestinian state within the June 5, 1967 borders along the Green Line, which would grant them 22 per cent of historic Palestine. A UN recognition ultimately means the negation of the rights of the majority of the Palestinian people in Israel, in the diaspora, in East Jerusalem, and even in Gaza, and the recognition of the rights of some West Bank Palestinians to a Bantustan on a fraction of West Bank territory amounting to less than 10 per cent of historic Palestine. Israel will be celebrating either outcome.
Perhaps this explains why more than 60 per cent of Israelis are reported to affirm the present bid for statehood, and why their position is decidedly left of Obama's. But however the struggle turns out between the advocates for a Palestinian political demand that emerges from a movement for inclusive self-determination and those who seek the internationalisation of the process by displacing Oslo with the UN, we are in the middle of a historic shift that will lessen the power of the US, Oslo, and the self-appointed Quartet, which appears set to break up as the UN potentially separates itself from the European Union, the US and Russia. Nothing in Obama's rhetoric will limit these effects. If nothing else, a new set of dynamics will be inaugurated through the statehood bid, and they may prove at the present conjuncture to be more important, and more valuable, than any of us can foresee at this time. Even if a state does not immediately appear (and there are reasons to hope for an initiative that emerges directly out of a more inclusive Palestinian movement for self-determination), at least we may see an end to a 'peace' process that has become an excuse for Israeli territorial expansion and the permanent deferral of Palestinian aspirations. Something Obama once called 'hope' may well break through the temporal standstill of the occupation, expulsion, confiscation and disenfranchisement.

MOORLAND, England (Reuters) - The village of Moorland in southwest England lies largely deserted, eerily silent save for the creaking of flood defenses which failed to stop the flow of muddy brown water now standing chest-high along its main street.
Its residents were among thousands across England who fell victim to the country's wettest January in nearly 250 years, with heavy rain and storms damaging homes, businesses and transport links and heaping pressure on a government criticized for being too slow to react.
In Moorland, part of the badly hit Somerset Levels region where more than 65 million cubic meters of flood water is being pumped out at a rate of 3 million cubic meters a day, water stretches out in all directions as far as the eye can see.
The air reeks of petrol leaking from cars which float abandoned along with other debris in the still-rising water. Sandbags are stacked up outside empty houses.
Phil Vize is one of a handful of residents who remain, water lapping around his legs as he makes coffee in the kitchen of the house his wife's family have lived in for generations.
He has moved what furniture would fit into the upstairs rooms of the house, but his collection of vintage cars already lies submerged outside.
"I'm trying to save everything I can but there's just too much stuff, too many memories," he said.
Most of Moorland's few remaining residents say they will try to save photos and pets if they are forced to go.
"Once the sentimentality was out of the way I wasn't bothered about my TV etc, I was only interested in my pets," said dog-owner Angela Greenway, who is co-coordinating the distribution of donated supplies from her house.
Prime Minister David Cameron has said money is no object in the relief effort, pledging 130 million pounds ($220 million) of extra funding to help tackle the floods as well as schemes to help affected households and businesses.
But Britain's two-party coalition government has faced increasing pressure over the situation, with critics saying problems have been exacerbated by years of under-investment in river dredging and flood defenses.
Several politicians who have donned rubber boots to wade through muddy waters on visits to flooded areas have received a rough ride from residents angry at the government's response.
A poll by ComRes for ITV News over the weekend found 72 percent did not think the government was in control of the flooding situation, with nearly two thirds of the 2,031 people surveyed saying it did not respond well to the crisis.
The Environment Agency has warned it may take months for the ground-water level to drop, after January saw five months' worth of rain in just 19 days. Two severe flood warnings remain in place for the southwest of England.
"I'm going to stay and hope it doesn't get much worse," said Vize. "Surely it can't get any worse?"

Mr. Luther Coggin, Ms. Toni Crawford, Mr. O'Neal Douglas, Mr. Wilfredo Gonzalez, Mr. Steve Halverson, Ms. Ann Hicks, Ms. Joan Wellhouse Newton, Mr. Hank Rogers, Ms. Carol Thompson, Mr. Kevin Twomey, Dr. Floyd Willis
Ms. Donna Harper Gibbs and Mr. James Stallings
Chair Thompson opened the workshop by expressing her appreciation for everyone present and their support in preparation for the meeting. She welcomed Dr. Kline for his first meeting as President and asked him to introduce the presenters for the workshop on NCAA Division I.
President Kline began by crediting Trustee Gonzalez for encouraging him to consider bringing in a consultant and beginning discussion on the possibility of a reclassification as an NCAA Division I School. President Kline introduced Dr. Richard Gropper, UNF Athletic Director for the last eight years; Mr. Bill Bibb, Commissioner for the Atlantic Sun Athletic Conference; Mr. Ted Gumbart, Associate Commissioner for the conference; and Ms. Kathy Klein, of UNF, responsible for compliance, academic issues and Senior Women's Administrator. Mr. Bibb thanked the Board for inviting them, stating that they were glad to help institutions interested in becoming part of the NCAA. He spoke highly of Dr. Gropper, mentioning his experience in bringing FIU from Division II to Division I status. Mr. Bibb listed several topics he thought would be key to the discussion:
Trustee Halverson asked Trustee Rogers if he thought students would support a move to Division I. Trustee Rogers generally felt that they would and that it would increase student involvement and spirit but also suggested a more thorough survey of student opinion.
Chair Thompson congratulated Dr. Gropper on his success over the last eight years. She suggested that the Board take this information under advisement and that Dr. Gropper return to the board with a proposal including financial information, projected funding and resources, and possible drawbacks to becoming a Division I institution. She thanked Dr. Gropper, Ms. Klein, Mr. Bibb and Mr. Gumbart for coming and for their contributions.
Chair Thompson called the meeting to order immediately after the workshop. Trustee Gonzalez moved to approve the minutes from July 18. The motion was seconded by Trustee Newton and approved unanimously.
No public comment requests were submitted.
President Kline gave a profile of the student body for this term, reporting that there were 13,977 students enrolled, a fifteen percent increase over last year – the largest increase in the state university system. The average SAT score was 1135. Students are attending UNF from sixty different countries, including close to thirty students each from France and Sweden – a very diverse group overall. The residence halls, with a total of 2016 beds, are full. President Kline indicated that housing would be an issue for consideration by the Board in the near future.
Dr. Kline spoke of two intellectual activities currently underway in the College of Business Administration, which exemplify the type of activities the University should pursue in the future: a leading economic indicator project and a student run investment fund. The economic indicator project, similar to CPI but of local relevance, is headed by Dr. Paul Mason in Economics and funded by the Times Union and Heritage Capitol to teach students about data collection and analysis. The second project, also through the College of Business, is an investment fund of $500,000, donated to the University by Joannie Laton Smith. It is entirely managed by students.
Chair Thompson expressed her appreciation for Dr. Kline and his staff in their efforts since his appointment, stating that she was very pleased with the progress that had been made. She brought up one of the topics from the Board retreat, communication between the Board and the University between meetings and a consistent and deliberate meeting schedule. She indicated that although at times it was not possible to get information to the Board immediately, she felt that every effort was made to keep the Board updated on pertinent information in a timely manner.
The Chair announced that the Transition Committee had contacted firms regarding the presidential search and would be narrowing the selections to three from the firms initially contacted. The committee will set up another meeting soon. She also brought everyone's attention to the annual calendar of scheduled Board and committee meetings included in the packets. Although occasionally a meeting date could change or a meeting could be required in between, the schedule would allow everyone an opportunity to plan for regularly scheduled meetings.
Ms. Karen Stone, General Counsel, requested that the Board authorize President Kline and Vice President Crosby to sign the University checks. A Trustee asked whether University policy required one or two signatures on a check. (University policy only requires one signature.) Chair Thompson noted that many organizations require two signatures and that while she was not questioning the policy, she would like to have it confirmed as a point of information to the Board at a later date. Trustee Twomey motioned to grant signature authority to President Kline and Vice President Crosby. The motion was seconded by Trustee Gonzalez and was approved unanimously.
Trustee Halverson addressed some recommended adjustments to the PECO list. Janet Owen was unable to attend due to a family emergency. Fiscal years 2002-2003 were approved at the last Board meeting. However, some building repair issues were just discovered, necessitating a reevaluation of the priority list before the October 1 submission date. Documentation was included in the meeting packets. As the University is in the process of evaluating the repairs and changes to the priority list, Trustee Halverson requested a brief conference call after the September 27 Finance and Audit Committee meeting and prior to the October 1 deadline. He did not expect the monetary amounts to change significantly, just the order of the list. Chair Thompson suggested that anyone with an interest in adjustments to the PECO list attend the Finance committee meeting and that the University make the necessary arrangements to schedule the conference call.
President Kline called everyone's attention to Item 7 on the agenda, the UNF Annual Goals, pointing out that while the FBOE Strategic Plan was not specific, the purpose of the Annual Goals was to designate a structure for the year to comply with that plan. The President requested that each division submit their goals, some of which were elevated to the University level, with the intent of reporting back at the end of the year with a more analytical document that incorporated the University's success in application of these goals and more rigorous University accountability. He mentioned Goal 5, with its focus on relationships with public schools and the community, as being of particular interest to him due to feedback he has received indicating that the University's curriculum may not be perfectly compatible with school district expectations. He felt that it was important to research the issue to determine where the district or the University could realign to allow more congruence between district needs and University provisions.
Chair Thompson indicated that a number of the Board members were concerned about education and that she was pleased to see the University addressing this issue. Trustee Twomey felt it important to find ways to address the current shortage of math and science teachers. Dr. Kline agreed, stating his hope that the University will become a leader in school readiness. Trustee Crawford congratulated the President, stating that she believed the University was already accomplishing that goal.
A discussion led by Trustee Gonzalez ensued regarding the possibility of communication with UNF graduates who are teaching in the community to determine the relevance of their education and application in the workplace. Dr. Serwatka replied in the affirmative, stating that teacher success is tracked for three years after graduation. He also spoke of other examples, such as a program in Special Education where first-year teachers meet with education students and faculty to discuss their experiences. Dr. Serwatka announced that the University was beginning a fund drive this week to support scholarships that would encourage more people to enter the teaching profession.
President Kline also pointed out that the University has an opportunity this year to adjust the faculty to student ratio through the hiring of approximately 100 new faculty members.
After a speech given this morning to the USPA, Dr. Kline thought of an opportunity to recruit minority students and better employee relations through an added education benefit for the children of employees to allow and encourage them to attend UNF. He has asked Vice President Crosby to research the idea.
Chair Thompson announced that the update would be postponed, as Janet Owen was unable to attend, but encouraged the Board to continue to keep track of legislative issues as there are eleven amendments slated for this year's election.
Trustee Gonzalez reiterated his concern about continuing the application process for Division I, remarking that the fee was reimbursable if the Board ultimately decided against application, and that if application was not made by December 1, an entire year would be lost should the University decide to attempt the transition. The Chair stated that although she would not want to short change the analysis process, she felt this was a valid observation. She felt it appropriate to defer to Dr. Kline and suggested that the President present his recommendation as soon as possible. President Kline indicated his wish to distance himself and Dr. Gropper from this decision. He recommended charging the Faculty Association's Strategic Planning Committee to study the related issues such as student benefits, economic issues, and admission standards. The Board asked for a recommendation of order of magnitude so that a decision could be made regarding the application and asked Dr. Kline to create and bring back a process in order to accomplish this.
Chair Thompson announced the end of the business meeting, but requested that those who could stay to participate in the collective bargaining workshop return after a fifteen-minute break.
Chair Thompson welcomed everyone back for the workshop, reminding them of the importance of this issue as the Board of Trustees will be considered the University employer through devolution.
President Kline introduced Dr. Joann Campbell from Academic Affairs and Ms. Julie Sheppard, Associate University Counsel to provide background on personnel issues and the implications for collective bargaining. Dr. Campbell stated that the UNF's personnel program currently operates under the FBOE to establish and maintain rules governing pay, job classification, and related matters for public universities in accordance with a statewide classification system. As of January 7, each individual board of trustees will become the public employer for its university and will be able to replace the cumbersome statewide system with one that is streamlined and personnel friendly. She said that along with herself, Jim Van Vleck, Julie Sheppard and Mary O'Neal (Director of Human Resources) have been charged with preparing personnel policies in accordance with the University philosophy. She requested guidance from the Board in establishing a program that was as inclusive as possible in preparation for collective bargaining issues. Collective bargaining is currently a state level function but will change on January 7.
Dr. Campbell and Ms. Sheppard went over some of the history of United Faculty of Florida (UFF). The union was elected as the exclusive bargaining agent for faculty by a state-wide faculty vote in 1976. A second vote on bargaining status was conducted in 1984. Voting figures for individual universities were not maintained as it was a system-wide election, so we do not know how UNF faculty voted in either election.
Currently, the union has filed a petition to represent faculty members in Florida's State University System and has petitioned to have the Board of Trustees substituted for the Florida Board of Education (FBOE) as the successor employer by administrative fiat. If this petition were approved, University faculty would not be able to vote on their preferences for union representation. The University Board of Trustees has responded to the UFF petition, stating that they disagree and consider the petition improper under the Public Employees Relations Commission (PERC) due to their belief that employees should have the right to vote. The PERC hearing officer for UNF has directed UFF to show cause as to why its petition should not be dismissed based on established PERC precedent.
Although UNF was the first respondent, similar orders were issued to other state institutions. If UFF's petition is not honored, the Board of Trustees could voluntarily recognize the UFF as the faculty union, could negotiate with UFF to alter who was to be recognized as in-unit, or could require the union to go through a faculty vote. Dr. Campbell pointed out that although collective bargaining agreement expires on January 7, faculty concerns such as their rights to tenure and the loss of academic freedom are unfounded. Such rights would remain in place as the policies governing those areas are included in the Faculty Handbook and other personnel documents.
Chair Thompson expressed her appreciation for their contributions and asked for questions or comments. Trustee Halverson asked about the timeline for devolution. Ms. Sheppard stated that it was very time consuming and that there was no way to estimate how long it would take. Dr. Campbell noted that timelines used to be very specific but those timelines had now been rescinded. Trustee Halverson also asked if any other unions were seeking to represent faculty. Ms. Sheppard stated that she didn't know of any rival unions interested in representing faculty. She pointed out that as the public employer, the Board could also have an unfair labor practice filed against them for not allowing other unions an opportunity to seek to represent faculty.
Trustee Halverson had another question regarding the impact of the Graham amendment, should it pass in November. Ms. Sheppard replied that although it could be unsettled for some time, the Board of Trustees would remain the public employer for at least six months. Trustee Halverson spoke of the possibility of working with other universities to maintain some continuity regarding these issues. There has been discussion of a small consortium but we would remain legally independent.
Chair Thompson stated that one of the reasons for the workshop was to reiterate that the Board is committed to creating an employee environment that is protective of faculty and employee rights. The Board is responsible for addressing collective bargaining issues. She asked if the information discussed today would be communicated to faculty and was answered in the affirmative by Dr. Campbell.
Trustee Halverson noted that although this was the first time litigation had been initiated that involved and named the Board, it would occur again as the Board is the legally responsible party. He felt that a process to ensure that these issues are promptly addressed should be initiated. Chair Thompson acknowledged that this was a fair request and stated that she had spoken with Dr. Kline and Dr. Campbell about the idea of having a smaller group establish principles to then be brought back to the Board. Trustee Twomey addressed Ms. Stone, asking how the process would go from here. Ms. Stone responded that we were allowed to have closed meetings regarding litigation but would have to go through a public meeting process. Collective bargaining can be discussed in a closed setting, although the Board chose not to do so for this workshop. Trustee Halverson suggested a policy on unionization and representation for these policies, and that a procedure for gathering information on issues of larger impact, such as this one, should be instated. Chair Thompson replied that she would prefer to err on the side of more meetings, particularly as she did not wish to act for the Board inappropriately, and that she would welcome suggestions for how to approach this. She suggested having another workshop to discuss these issues at a later time as more information becomes available.
Dr. Kline announced that a seminar on state university collective bargaining and devolution would be held at Stetson University on October 11. Dr. Campbell and the UFF attorney will be presenting. He offered to get more information for anyone interested in attending.
Chair Thompson thanked Dr. Campbell and Ms. Sheppard and the workshop was ended.

On December 15, 2013, the Tureck Bach Research Institute held a special celebration in honor of our founder, Rosalyn Tureck, to mark both 100 years since her birth and 10 years since her death. The tribute's objective was to pay homage to and, at the same time, highlight the remarkable achievements and legacy of Rosalyn Tureck and her enormous influence on Bach scholarship, Bach performance and on using media as a tool, well before it was commonplace.
The event took place at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center. It was hosted by Tureck Bach Research Institute President Kevin Kleinmann and featured performances by former Tureck pupil Golda Vainberg-Tatz and the 2013 Tureck Bach Piano Competition laureates Allison To and Athena Tsianos, as well as a special video and interview with former Tureck student and internationally acclaimed guitarist, Sharon Isbin. The event concluded with an interview with the Spanish musicologist and pianist Xoán Elías Castiñeira, who spoke about his research and completion of texts by Dr. Tureck.
