Today I resume my daily videos! And I'm back from my business trip to Honolulu. Extremely jetlagged, but happy to be home, and suprisingly still raw!

Hi Bunny,
Welcome back! We missed you. So glad you were able to stay raw. Really, what better place to be raw than HI? Sometimes though when we get together with friends, etc. we are more tempted...
Have a beautiful night's rest in YOUR OWN BED :)

I'm glad you're back!! Jet lag is always a butt kicker on a trip like that. Coming home is worse than going, don't you think? You did great in Hawaii...you little raw bunny!

Hi Bunny!
You might have over-dosed on acidic fruits in Hawaii. Sometimes if I combine pineapple and mango or papaya in large amounts, I get a little skin irritation. I don't suggest eliminating any of those items from your diet. Just that you be aware of if your mouth or throat itches while you are eating them, and stop at that point for a day or two. I still eat pineapple often.

Miranda Hobbes: [at a bar, drinking Cosmopolitans]
"Why did we ever stop drinking these?"
Carrie Bradshaw: "Because everyone else started! "
Perhaps it's time to start again?
This delicious and soul-warming winter drink has got its name from the famous Cosmopolitan cocktail. Ok, there's plain vodka and not lemon vodka here, and I haven't used any limes to give the drink an extra zing (though you could, by all means), but the similarities are definitely there. It's officially my favourite mulled drink this year, even if I do go very easy on the vodka most of the time :D
If you like the classic Cosmopolitan, and enjoyed watching Sex and the City, then this drink is for you :)
Cosmo Glögg
Serves six
Adapted from Finnish-language book "Kotilieden jouluaika: Pikkujoulusta loppiaisen" (2006)
1 litre good-quality cranberry juice drink
2 Tbsp glögg mixture*
100 ml vodka
50 ml orange liqueur (Triple Sec or Cointreau)
To serve:
dried cranberries (aka 'craisins')
orange twist
Bring the juice and glögg mixture into a simmer, then remove from the heat and leave to infuse for 20-30 minutes. Add some sugar to taste, if you really wish so.
Strain and re-heat. Add the spirits and serve in heat-proof glasses.
* I used Meira's glögimauste, which contains finely chopped dried Sevilla orange peel, ginger, cloves, cinnamon and cardamom. You can use any mulled wine or glögg seasoning mix of your choice, if that's not available.

Although the Tigers (14-10, 8-3 OVC) have played 25 games since the teams' last meeting on March 3 of last year, the taste of that 64-62 loss still tastes just as sour. Murray State defeated TSU at the end of that game to win the OVC crown and a trip to the NCAA Tournament.
If the Tigers don't want a repeat of last year's performance, they will need great games from everyone on the team, but especially M.J. Rhett and Patrick Miller.
In TSU's last game, Rhett set a new career high with 18 points and added seven rebounds en route to an 88-82 overtime victory. The forward also converted 7-of-8 shots against the Govs which was the most buckets the sophomore has ever made in any game.
Rhett has been on a roll since the Tigers got to conference play and is averaging 9.1 points and 8.6 rebounds during OVC games. Rhett had been scoring 3.0 points per contest and securing just 5.7 boards in non-conference games.
Miller is another one of TSU's hottest players as the guard has led the team in scoring during each of TSU's last four contests. With his 25 against the Govs, Miller is now fifth in the OVC with an average of 18.7 points during conference games.
The junior from Chicago is also leading the league in assists per contest with 5.3. He had a game-high seven in Clarksville.
For Murray State, the Racers enter Saturday's contest with a 17-5 record and an 8-2 mark in conference play. They also just handed Belmont its first loss in the OVC on Thursday.
The Racers are led by Isaiah Canaan whose 21.2 points per contest, leads the league. MSU also has Ed Daniel and Stacey Wilson who average 13.8 and 13.3 points per game respectively.
The trio of Racers hasn't had a problem scoring the ball this year, but perhaps Murray State's greatest strength is the team's defense.
MSU is currently number one in the OVC in scoring defense, allowing conference opponents to score 62.9 points per game. The Racers also trail just TSU in opponent's field goal percentage and defensive rebounds.
The battle down low will be a key to the game, as Daniel comes into the game leading the league with 11.2 boards during OVC games. However, Kellen Thornton (9.5) and Rhett rank second and fourth in the same category.
Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. and the game can be seen on the OVC Digital Network.

Olivos del Sacramento
This is a family/life project. I am a single mom with two teenagers and have put my life savings on a olive tree small farm near Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay. Olive trees take 7 years to mature and next year's will be our first almost-full-grown harvest (5 year old trees). This year we produced 500 liters of what turned out to be a premium quality olive oil, just enough to send to different olive oil experts to taste and give it away to create interest on our future harvests.
Uruguay is new to olive oil production, and the City of Colonia del Sacramento is a very special place: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coloni…Sacramento. It was founded in 1680 and its old city was designated World Historical Heritage by the UN.
Our market will be quality restaurants and delis and olive oil boutiques around the world.
We will sell on the strength of high ratings and quality, the result of traditional production process.
Our oil will be essentially the juice of olives, pressed on site, as soon as they are harvested with no chemical interventions or enhancement.
We would like something that refers to the country, since as I said Uruguay is new to the olive oil industry.
The name already makes reference to the region in Uruguay (Colonia del Sacramento) because of the "del Sacramento" part, but maybe using something that has the "historic flavor" would work well.
I am attaching a file with something I came up with, but I am a numbers person, SO YOU CAN FEEL FREE TO COMPLETELY IGNORE IT. In any case it is not appropriate for a logo (too much stuff, too big, more for a label), but you might want to design a logo keeping in mind that hopefully it will become part of a label that you will be requested to design too (and whatever else we will need to design if we are successful)
The rays of the sun I sketched attempt to be similar to the ones you can see in the Uruguayan flag, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:S…ruguay.svg
and the branches under the lettering are olive branches roughly similar to the ones appearing to the right of the Uruguayan coat of arms: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped…ay.svg.png
Underneath the sun I attempted to depict what an olive grove looks like. Olive trees are planted on a slope, in rows in the direction North-South.
These details aim at giving you a feel for the project, not required to incorporate to the design

FIFA 15 Trailer: Shiny New Goalies
Gamescom 2014 is in full swing in Germany, the country that won the 2014 World Cup. As you can imagine, soccer fever is at an all-time high over there, so EA was smart to reveal a brand new trailer for FIFA 15, highlighting one of the most improved areas in the game: the goalies.
EA says that FIFA 15's goalies have been completely redesigned. The trailer's description reads that goalies now have "over 50 new save animations, improved AI and a new, realistic player model." The untrained eye might not see the new animations or AI from the trailer, but that Tim Howard player model shown at the 38-second mark looks exactly like the American keeper.
Goalie improvements weren't the only big announcement from EA concerning FIFA, as the company announced a ton of new information. FIFA 15 will be the first FIFA game to include all 18 teams of the Turkish Super Lig while also giving Barclay's Premier League a total revamp. FIFA Ultimate Team is also getting a slew of new features, including the ability to loan players to other teams for a limited number of games and a new squad planning tool that lets players plan around team chemistry.
There's a lot of new and exciting football action coming when FIFA 15 launches September 23 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC, and later this fall for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita.

Bats quiet all day, Sox swat back-to-back HRs in 10th
BOSTON -- By the time the bottom of the 10th inning rolled around on Wednesday afternoon at Fenway Park, the Red Sox were just hoping for some semblance of offense. A broken-bat single or a bloop that found some grass or maybe a liner to the gap would have been nice.
Through nine innings, they had all of one hit.View Full Game Coverage
BOSTON -- By the time the bottom of the 10th inning rolled around on Wednesday afternoon at Fenway Park, the Red Sox were just hoping for some semblance of offense. A broken-bat single or a bloop that found some grass or maybe a liner to the gap would have been nice.
Through nine innings, they had all of one hit.View Full Game Coverage
That's why the ending -- which contained double-barrel action from David Ortiz and Mike Napoli -- was so stunning and sweet.
The two sluggers went back to back, the latter a walk-off shot by Napoli that finished off a thrilling 2-1 victory to complete a three-game sweep of the Twins on Wednesday afternoon at Fenway Park.
The Red Sox were two outs from a loss when Ortiz took Casey Fien around Pesky's Pole in right field to tie the game. Then it was Napoli's turn, and he drilled an 0-2 pitch off Fien over the wall in center to end it.
"David comes up big once again. He'd been pulling off some balls. He stayed on a pitch from Fien and just hooks one inside the foul pole," said manager John Farrell. "I can't tell you the last time we went back to back. It's been a while. Couldn't have been better timing. David's home run gives us a huge lift just to knot it at 1, and Nap gets a fastball up on the plate, and a good way to finish a well-pitched three-game series here."
The last time the Red Sox finished a game with back-to-back homers was when the unlikely tandem of Darren Lewis and Jeff Frye pulled it off against the Twins on June 14, 1999.
It was just the third time the Sox have gone back to back this season and the first since April 26.
In the three-game sweep, the Sox mustered just five runs, making it clear how dominant their pitching was. The last time Boston won three straight games with five or fewer runs was at Toronto from Aug. 24-26, 1990. Dana Kiecker, Roger Clemens and Greg Harris were the starters in those games.
John Lackey was front and center in this one, firing nine scoreless innings while allowing three hits, walking one and striking out nine.
"Whatever way we can get it done," said Napoli. "Our pitching is picking us up right now and we just have to pick it up on the offensive side."
The selfless Lackey wasn't worried about taking a no-decision.
"It worked out great," Lackey said. "It really did. I did my job and you've got to give their kid [Kyle Gibson] a lot of credit. He's a talent. He threw the ball tremendous. For our two big guys to hit a couple dingers late like that could give us some momentum heading into the road trip."
Perhaps it can be a turning point for the defending World Series champions, who head out on their 10-game sojourn through Oakland, Seattle and New York with a 34-38 record.
"Like I say, we haven't been able to produce for our pitching," said Ortiz. "Our pitching has been outstanding lately. We just haven't been able to hit. To bounce back and win a game like that, like you said, it can turn around a season."
The game was nearly a crushing loss.
Koji Uehara's 21-innings scoreless streak ended at an inopportune time, as Chris Parmelee belted a solo homer just over the Boston bullpen in right-center to give the Twins the lead in the top of the 10th.
Three of Parmelee's four homers this season have been against the Red Sox. The other one was a walk-off blast against Andrew Miller on May 13.
"It felt good to contribute like that and get an RBI in such a pitchers' duel, but that's the way it goes sometimes," said Parmelee. "It was a splitter. [Uehara] left one up and I'm sure he wanted that one a little bit lower with two strikes."
Gibson was every bit as dominant as Lackey.
"I tell you what, that kid that pitched for them today, wow," said Ortiz. "He's very impressive. For a young kid to have that sense to know what he's doing and spotting his pitches the way he did, very impressive. This kid was spotting every pitch he threw. That's why he did so well."
The righty fired seven innings of one-hit ball, walking none and striking out eight. Boston's only hit against him was a double by Daniel Nava with two outs in the fifth. Before that, Gibson had retired the first 14 batters.
Ortiz thought he had a hit in the seventh when he laced a grounder that first baseman Joe Mauer bobbled after a half dive. The play was ruled an error, and Ortiz looked up to the press box and gave official scorer Bob Ellis a thumbs down, shaking his head as he walked off the field at the end of the inning.
"It's a play that Mauer makes with ordinary effort," said Ellis. "It looked like he got a true hop. It didn't look like the ball exploded on him. He got in position. His body language is telling me, 'I've got this ball.' It looked like a play you make with ordinary effort. I'm not saying Ortiz didn't hit it hard. It's a play I thought Mauer makes with ordinary effort."
Whatever frustration Ortiz felt was long gone by the time he took Fien around the foul pole and played setup man for Napoli.
"He ties the game right there, there's a chance I can end it. I go up there and take my chances sometimes," said Napoli. "It's not like every time he hits a homer I'm going up there trying to do the same thing. Just trying to have a good at-bat and hit it hard."

Opinions and Comments from an Anonymous User
Watch out for tourist touts that offer to take you to the medi evil dye pits!
1. They are not really worth the visit (unlike the excelent dye pits in Fez)
2. The touts work in pairs. The first takes you to the dye pit (which you could probably manage with a map) and then introduces you to his "friend" to guide you round the pits. The BOTH expect to be paid, and are prepared to follow you incessently for a very long time if you do not give them enough money.
The main night market is definitely worth a visit, and the food is priced on menues so no hastle there. But the best food we ate there was in a little back street near the museum where a guy was frying fish. Ended going back there twice.
(moved by Nils 09:30, 13 Apr 2004 (EDT))
Advice for dealing with touts....
Smile! - shake their hand and politely say no thank you!
Works everytime.
In addition, if someone decides to walk with you and you do not want to pay any money to them then, as soon as you meet them, tell them that you will not be giving them money.
With regards to giving money... If the person has actually performed a service for you that you found helpful, then a tip is definately in order! - it would be rude not to do it!

Just noticed that the entries for Riad Dar Mimouna and Riad Kalila have been deleted by anonymous. Any particular reason for this? I don't know the hotels concerned, but their web sites seem to be running OK.
If this was done in error, or if there's no response from anonymous, I'll revert the changes in a couple of weeks.

I may be wrong, but Bargaining section looks to be better moved from Marrakech to How to haggle except Morocco-specific stuff which should go to Morocco#Shopping. In my experience, haggling in Marrakech is nothing different from Essouria or Ourzazate--and is likely the same in the rest of the country. --DenisYurkin 18:09, 9 November 2006 (EST)

Being digital means moving from surface-level efficiency plays to true transformation.
Digital disruption used to be about new entrants upending incumbents to re-write the competitive rules. Now the incumbents are back in the game, using digital to drive business advantage. Redefining the rules, roles and resources to become giants of disruption.

Philip began painting 25 or so years ago in the days of Grenadier and Ral Partha miniatures with Testors Paints. After a few years of hideous results, he gave it up completely. In the fall of 2003, he started painting again, and still had hideous results, but with alot of practice, eventually got a little bit better. He has awards for painting from numerous painting contests, including ReaperCon 2005 and 2006 where he won a total of 7 Sophies. Philip has done some freelance work for Reaper Miniatures. When he's not painting, he commands an army of gnome chicks on World of Warcraft, plays some hockey (poorly), skis, and does occasional volunteer work building trails on the Continental Divide. read more
Gene has been working with Reaper since about 2003, and since then he has proven to be one of the top sculptors in the industry. Gene's character miniatures are some of the most popular in Reaper's range with exceptional faces, dynamic clothwork, and amazingly realistic hair. read more

goose meat donations
The North Dakota Community Action Sportsmen Against Hunger program is again accepting donations of goose meat taken during the early Canada goose season. However, Canada geese can only be accepted through Aug. 31.
Similar to last year, hunters can bring in their goose meat to participating processors. However, hunters must remove the breast meat from the birds before processors can accept them.
Hunters can clean their geese at home prior to delivery to a processor, but breast meat brought from home without a wing or head attached to the meat, must be accompanied by written information that includes the hunter's name, address, signature, hunting license number, date taken and species and number taken.
Hunters may also deliver geese directly from the field to a processor, but identification must remain attached to the bird until in possession of the processor.
Since no goose carcasses or feathers are allowed inside processing plants, hunters must be able to ensure proper disposal and clean-up of carcasses.
The list of participating processors is available on the North Dakota Game and Fish Department website at gf.nd.gov.
Hunters interested in donating are encouraged to call processors before dropping off geese, to have a clear understanding of how goose breasts will be accepted and the processor's hours of operation.
For more information, visit the CAPND website at www.capnd.org, or contact Sarah Hasbargen at 701-232-2452.

First inmates should be arriving March 3
After more than two years of waiting, advertising, hoping and heart-breaking disappointments, Taft's Modified Community Correctional facility is finally going to reopen.
The first inmates are expected to arrive in a little over a week, on March 3.
Friday, the correctional officer took their oaths in a brief ceremony in front of their families and dignitaries and the MCCF was open for tours, allowing the guards to show their families where they'll be working.
Mayor Paul Linder and Fourth District Supervisor David Couch made brief remarks before chief of Police Ed Whiting stepped up and swore the correctional officers in.
Couch gave the city a certificate from the county recognizing the work that went in to reopening the MCCF.
Linder said the the MCCF not only means about 70 more jobs in the city, but its also an important source of revenue. But the city won't be seeing much of that until the facility's debt is paid down, Linder noted.
The facility owes the city well over $1 million that has been loaned to cover the unemployment costs associated with shutting it down, plus the cost of getting it ready to reopen.
The city had to install a second perimeter fence, make a much larger sally port to transfer prisoners from the buses and additional security measures.
Porcelain toilets and sinks were also replaced with stainless steel.
In a little over a week, the first inmates will be arriving from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. City Manager Craig Jones said he expects the facility to get 100 to 120 inmates per week until it reaches capacity.
Initially the MCCF will be able to house 512 inmates but the city is hoping to get it licensed to hold up to 600 inmates to increase the income to the city.

Halloween is just around the corner, so naturally we've been brainstorming some simple DIY costume ideas. One costume idea that we love is the classic flapper, complete with a fringe skirt and an embellished headband. With this in mind, we dreamed up this DIY fringe skirt that would be perfect for any 20's inspired costume. It's incredibly simple, and you could keep wearing it long after Halloween is over. Check out our tutorial below! You can find our flapper inspired items at mjtrim.com.
1. Get your supplies. All you need is some fringe, scissors, fabric glue, and a plain black skirt. If your skirt is elastic, make sure it has a zipper in the back. You may also want to stretch it out a bit with a piece of cardboard before you attach your fringe.
2. Measure out and cut a length of the fringe that will go all the way around the skirt, and perfectly lines up with the bottom of the skirt. Cut another length of fringe that will go all the way around at the top of the skirt.
3. Use your Unique Stitch glue to glue down the bottom piece of fringe. You may want to use a ruler and pencil to draw your desired line before you glue it down.
4. Add the second piece of fringe at the top of the skirt, gluing it down in little sections with your fabric glue.
5. Let the glue dry, then you're ready to show off your new flapper costume!


text: As a teen, Eric Church bought a guitar and taught himself how to play all his favorite inspirations (Hank Williams Jr., Merle Haggard, The Band). By his junior year, he had lined up a regular gig in a local bar. But professional music would have to wait as Church promised his dad that he would graduate from college in exchange for a bankrolled six-month trial period in Nashville. He majored in marketing at Appalachian State University and then headed to Music City. He eventually landed a publishing deal with Sony/ATV Tree and wrote songs for other artists like Terri Clark ("The World Needs A Drink") before signing to Capitol Records. His first album, Sinner Like Me, was released in 2006 and the first single "How 'Bout You" became a Top 20 hit as did "Two Pink Lines" and "Guys Like Me." His sophomore set, Carolina, dropped in 2009 and was followed in 2011 by his first No. 1 CD Chief, which included singles like "Drink In My Hand" and "Springsteen" and was nominated for a Best Country Grammy. It won Album of The Year at the CMA Awards. The marijuana advocate known for his signature aviators and trucker hats also had a No. 1 when he sang with Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean on 2013's "The Only Way I Know." He is currently touring and promoting his fourth CD The Outsiders. Church married music publisher Katherine Blasingame in 2008 and they welcomed son Boone in 2011.

Independence is putting a lid on the number of tobacco/convenience stores in town, in an effort to curtail crime. The ordinance passed Monday amends the city's Unified Development Ordinance to limit the number of such stores to 14, based city's 2010 census population.
Independence has a combined 14 tobacco or convenience stores – convenience stores with fuel sales are a different category – and the approved ordinance limits such establishments to one per 8,000 residents. Independence's latest census population was 116,830. The stores must not be within 500 feet of any residential use or district, church, school or public park unless they possess a special use permit.
The agenda item said the code amendment "is part of a multi-pronged approach to address illegal activity associated with these types of business, including the sale of synthetic marijuana and drug paraphernalia."
"This will be the next step in tackling the problem the police department has noticed," City Manager Robert Heacock told the City Council. "Earlier this year we introduced administrative procedures that would allow us to hold businesses responsible and possibly suspend the license."
Heacock also thanked District 2 Council Member Curt Dougherty for pushing the discussion on the amendment.
"I know he's had problems with this in his district," Heacock said.
Heacock noted that the Council has passed similar measures to limit payday loan businesses and certain liquor licenses based on population.
Council members also heard an appeal of a liquor license suspension for Linq Food Mart No. 2, 18700 E. U.S. 24, for selling alcohol to a minor, and voted to uphold the suspension.
As a two-time offender in a rolling three-year period, the business was slated to receive a six-day suspension, but liquor license officer Terry Hartwig said he reduced the suspension to five days, with one day in abeyance for three years, since the business was four days away from clearing the three-year rolling period.
Salima Bhura, manager of the Linq Food Mart, said in her appeal that the offending clerk had an eye problem and misread the date of birth on the ID presented by the police department's operative, accepted full responsibility at the administrative hearing and had been fired. She also noted the business had passed a more recent compliance check.
Dougherty offered the possibility of further leniency based on the efforts Linq had made before and after the incident, as well as the leniency granted to other businesses. Other council members noted Linq had been a five-time offender over a four-year period stretching back through 2009.

Brent Harris on Stat Crew National Advisory Boardby Howard Hewitt • August 19, 2010 Share:
Wabash College Sports Information Director Brent Harris has been added to an advisory board that created statistics' software used by most colleges in America.
The Stat Crew Next Generation advisory board consists of 17 members with representatives from Division I, II, and III schools and conferences, along with the NCAA, the Stat Crew software company, CBS Interactive, and 10 Foot Wave (a company that creates private TV networks that combine corporate branding with locally created content).
Stat Crew software is used by over 90 percent of the Division I, II, and III schools in the country. The company produces software for 11 sports, providing a system for sports information directors at more than 3,000 colleges and conference offices to provide game, season, and career statistics for use by media, coaches, and fans. The advisory board will provide a sounding board for Stat Crew, CBS and 10 Foot Wave as newer versions of the software are created to take advantage of the rapid changes in technology over the past few years.
"All of us in the Advancement Office recognize Brent Harris as one of the premier sports information people at any level," Director of Public Affairs Jim Amidon said. "When he receives national recognition like this, it increases the pride we have in his work for Wabash. He's long been an expert on statistics compilation and dissemination, and it's great that he's being recognized for that expertise."
Harris said participating is a tremendous honor. "I've been fortunate to work on some projects with Mike Ranieri, Alex Grimm, Monica Pellman, and Amy Pflughaupt (all from Stat Crew) over the past few years," the 11-year SID said. "Hopefully our advisory board can provide some useful input as the company produces its newest version of the software that has become the staple of our profession."
Harris also serves as a member of the DIII-SIDA board, an elected representative of
Division III SIDs in Region 3 (Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia).

Chair Taylor will call the meeting to order.
Chair Taylor will address the Board and present the Chair's Report.
President Delaney will address the Board and present the President's Report.
Chair Taylor will offer opportunity for open comments concerning items on this agenda.
Chair Taylor will address the Board and ask for approval of the consent agenda.
Proposed Action: Approval. Motion and second required.
The purpose of this item is to present a list of tenure nominees for university faculty. The President, Provost and the University Promotion and Tenure Committee have reviewed these nominees and are making a recommendation for approval to the Board of Trustees.
Twelve (12) nominees are being recommended based on a traditional review of their credentials.
The purpose of this item is to submit, for approval, a proposed new degree program. The College of Arts and Sciences proposes to transition the Bachelor of Art in Art History concentration to a stand-alone Bachelor of Arts degree in Art History in the Department of Art and Design.
This new degree would reform and update UNF's current Art History program; thus bring Art History in line with national standards. The proposed new degree is also consistent with the current State University System (SUS) strategic planning goals, including access to and production of degrees, building world-class academic programs, and meeting community needs.
Estimated demand for the proposed program, based largely on current enrollment numbers, includes about 69 students enrolled in the concentration and 63 students with minors in Art History. Though no systematic survey has been done, inquiries from students indicate they are dissuaded from enrolling in the current program because of the heavy studio art requirements; therefore, the proposed degree program is likely to attract these added students. Additionally, MOCA, Jacksonville has been interested in art history classes, especially in the offering of a museum studies course.
Because this proposal is seeking to transition the Art History concentration of the Bachelor of Arts in Art to a stand-alone degree program, there will be no change in Education and General Funds to support the program. Also, this proposal will not have an impact on other programs or resources and no additional faculty of resources will be required.
The purpose of this item is to present, for approval, the termination of the Bachelor of Arts in Music. Since this degree's inception, two new degrees – Bachelor of Music (B.M.) and the Bachelor of Music Education (B.M.E.) – have been instituted, both of which incorporate performance as an essential and widely accepted element. Because the Bachelor of Arts in Music does not include the performance element, which is considered to be a necessary component to any respectable baccalaureate-level degree in music, there are no students enrolled in the degree and it has ceased to serve a role in the Department of Music's curricular offerings.
Since the Department of Music's faculty are engaged in the offerings of the two new degrees, B.M. and B.M.E., none would be affected by the proposed termination of the Bachelor of Arts in Music degree.
The purpose of this item is to present, for approval, the termination of the Masters in Human Resource Management. The last degree for this program was conferred in summer 2006 and, because of a lack of adequate enrollment, this program was inactivated.
The Coggin College of Business added a Human Resource Management concentration to the MBA curriculum in fall 2002. Enrollment was monitored in the MBA concentration and there was not sufficient student demand to justify reactivating the Masters in Human Resources management.
Because the Masters in Human Resource Management suspended admissions about 10 years ago, there will be no need to accommodate students or faculty, gender and racial distribution of students, and faculty will not be affected. There will be no potential negative impact of the proposed action on the current representation of females, minorities, faculty and students.
The purpose of this item is to seek approval for (1) limited access status and (2) approval to exceed 120 credit hours to degree for the Medical Laboratory Sciences concentration of the Biology major.
The College of Arts and Sciences Biology department is seeking limited access status for the Medical Laboratory Sciences concentration of the Biology major. The program can only accommodate 30 students. The Biology department plans to initiate the Medical Laboratory Sciences program in fall 2012.
Closure of medical laboratory science training programs over the past several decades, combined with increased demand for trained personnel, has resulted in a nationwide shortage of qualified medical technologists to staff clinical laboratories. The facilities, equipment and personnel required to properly train these students is limited and health care organizations with which we are affiliated can only accommodate a limited number of students at any given time. Because this clinical experience is a requirement for licensure and completion of the program, the administration is proposing limited access status. The proposed limited access is not anticipated to impact the current diversity.
Approval to exceed 120 credit hours to degree for the Medical Laboratory Sciences concentration is necessary to be in compliance with the National Accrediting Agency Clinical Laboratory Sciences. The university is seeking approval to exceed the 120 credit hour limit by five semester hours, bringing the total number of hours required for this specific concentration to 125 credits.
The purpose of this item is to present the annual report addressing the requirements of the Florida Educational Equity Act (FEEA), Gender Equity in Athletics, and the Equity Accountability Program (EAP) statutes. Each state university is required to maintain an annual equity plan for appropriate representation of women and minorities in senior level administrative positions, within tenure track and non-tenure track faculty and within faculty granted tenure. In addition universities are required to monitor student participation in programs or courses where certain protected classes are underrepresented and to ensure that provisions of non-discrimination laws are adhered to and educational resources are equitably distributed.
This report must be approved by the university President and the university Board of Trustees and submitted to the Board of Governors through the Office of the Chancellor.
This item provides a listing of reports discussed at the committee meeting. Individual reports will be discussed as deemed appropriate by the committee chair or an individual Board member.
This item provides a review of the findings and recommendations from the State of Florida's Auditor General for UNF's financial audit for the fiscal year which ended on June 30, 2011.
Vice President Shuman will address the committee and present this item.
The purpose of this item is to present a report to the Board of Trustees for this quarter's activities in the Office of Internal Auditing.
Vice President Shuman will provide an update on the whistleblower hotline.
This item provides a review of this quarter's budget report.
This item provides for review an overview of the annual treasurer's report for year ending September 30, 2011.
This item provides a listing of reports from the Academic Affairs Committee. Individual reports will be discussed as deemed appropriate by the committee chair or an individual Board member.
Dean Hallblade will describe new library projects and services with a focus on UNF Digital Commons. Dean Daniel will discuss urban education initiatives in the College of Education and Human Services.
Amendments to the Student Conduct Code Regulation were approved by the Board in January. Upon review of the amended regulation, the Board of Governors made us aware that a mandatory provision was not included in the UNF regulation. The provision is not substantive but is procedural and requires Board approval.
As such, the university is proposing to add the language as required to Section (J) Sanctions. The proposed language is set forth below.
*Note: Students will normally forfeit tuition, Housing rent and fees, and other University fees if found responsible for a Student Conduct Code violation resulting in suspension or expulsion. If a student's privileges are temporarily revoked, but the student is subsequently found not responsible for the violation, the University must; 1) Correct any record of the change in enrollment status in the student's permanent records and reports compliant with state and federal laws; and 2) Refund to the student a pro rata portion of any charges for tuition and out-of-state fees, as appropriate, if the temporary revocation or suspension of the student's ability to attend classes lasts for more than 10 class days. A student may also forfeit academic credit accordingly and must see his/her professor to determine the impact on grades based on the withdrawal. Students who are excluded from living in University Housing must contact the Director of Housing Operations to determine the financial impact of the canceled contract.
Vice President Gonzalez will address the Board and speak about this item.
The purpose of this item is to seek approval from the Board to name an academic building on campus.
Vice President Allaire will address the Board and present this item.
Proposed Action: Approval. Motion and second required.
Vice President Gottlieb and Mr. Leonard Carson, special labor counsel to the university, will address the Board and present the FOP collective bargaining agreement.
The university administration recommends an overall 15 percent increase to the in-state undergraduate tuition differential. UNF's allocation from the State Legislature was predicated upon this increase.
Currently, the tuition differential fee is $21.42 per credit hour. At a 15 percent increase it would climb to $40.13, bringing the total per credit hour charge to $143.45.
In addition, the administration recommends an 8 percent increase in the undergraduate out-of-state fee.
At the graduate level, the administration recommends a 15 percent increase in in-state graduate tuition. It also recommends a reduction in the out-of-state graduate fee to keep the total per credit hour cost for out-of-state graduate students the same as last year for out-of-state graduate students.
This item is provided as a quarterly report to the Board of Trustees and describes current progress on each project, funding sources, and any current issues, including change orders.
The Board authorized the President or his designee to approve change orders in the name of the Board for pre-established amounts. Approvals are for the purpose of expediting the work in progress and are to be reported to the Board and entered into its official minutes.

Farm system making strides with depth of talent
CHICAGO -- Don't look for the White Sox near the top of any Minor League system rankings.
In fact, don't look for them in the top half or even in the top two-thirds.
CHICAGO -- Don't look for the White Sox near the top of any Minor League system rankings.
In fact, don't look for them in the top half or even in the top two-thirds.
But a farm system that has been a frequent recent punching bag of pundits who expertly analyze such matters is on the rise. Not a precipitous jump, mind you, but a slow and steady climb to becoming a true asset.
They have added depth throughout the system via solid First-Year Player Drafts under director of amateur scouting Doug Laumann, their own player development, international additions such as Micker Adolfo and trades to go younger and more athletic in this current reshaping process. That depth becomes important when the need eventually arises for the White Sox to acquire a big-ticket sort of player on the trade market but currently provides the organization with overall competition that has been absent.
It's an improvement noticed by White Sox executive vice president Ken Williams, who told MLB.com at SoxFest that this young core has him as excited about the White Sox going into Spring Training as he has been since 2006. That particular spring was the one following a World Series championship.
This positive feeling started for Williams with the hitters' mini-camp at Camelback Ranch in Glendale, Ariz., coming one week before SoxFest, where new acquisitions such as Adam Eaton, Matt Davidson and Jose Abreu worked out for members of the front office and coaching staff. That upbeat attitude extends to the organization's homegrown prospects.
"Where Trayce Thompson is, Tim Anderson is, Courtney Hawkins is, and I'm leaving out some names," Williams said. "Jacob May, I saw him playing when I went to Australia. Some of these guys are just … .
"Keon Barnum is going to be a monster, I think. I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of these guys in the organization. Things have gotten younger and more exciting in a very short period of time."
The White Sox theory concerning their Minor League system has been fairly consistent over the last decade. Those players are used to supplement the big league club, with Bobby Jenks, Brandon McCarthy and Gordon Beckham serving as prime examples, or used to help the big league club as part of a trade. See Chris Young, Gio Gonzalez or Eduardo Escobar as examples in this category.
There was only one season since 2001 and prior to 2013 where the White Sox were completely out of contention, lending the team to spend more or focus more on winning than absolute development. Last year's 63-99 failure helped the White Sox make a needed change.
"We were able to execute our long-term plan in a very short time," Williams said. "Each year that we put together our Plan A, B and C, we've talked about, 'Is now the year that we should turn it over and get younger and target guys who could help us and help us very quickly?'
"Well, we were always competing so it was hard to do. So we have a bad year and it gives us the opportunity to do what we had tried to position ourselves to do every year. I got to tell you, when we are talking about our target list and some of the guys we've been able to bring in since last July, I'm as excited as I've been in years to see this team take the field."
MLB.com's 2014 Top 100 Prospects places right-handed pitcher Erik Johnson at No. 70 and Davidson at No. 80. Johnson almost certainly will be part of the White Sox rotation, while Davidson becomes the team's third baseman of the future -- whether that future begins March 28 or in May.
Sometimes it's the sleepers that make just as big of a difference. MLBPipeline Draft and Prospect expert Jim Callis listed May, the third-round pick in the 2013 Draft, in that group. He pointed to May's "great debut in the admittedly hitter-friendly Pioneer League," while adding in his high level of speed and some pop in his bat.
Callis also stated that Adam Engel, an outfielder selected in the 19th round last year, fits the same May profile. Third baseman Trey Michalczewski, the team's seventh-round pick in 2013, not only earned Callis' plaudits but also received praise from fellow MLBPipeline Draft and Prospect expert Jonathan Mayo.
Mayo and Callis see the progress made within the White Sox system.
"It remains to be seen if some of the athletes in the system [Hawkins, Anderson, et al] reach their potential, but there's just more in the system as a whole," Mayo said. "It used to be that finding 20 guys for the Top 20 to talk about was challenging, but the back end of that list has a lot more potential big leaguers on it than it used to."
"After years of not spending on the Draft and not spending internationally, they're being more aggressive about paying for amateur talent, and it shows," Callis said. "Trading veterans for prospects rather than the other way around also has helped the system's depth, and they've had some encouraging breakthroughs from guys like Erik Johnson and Marcus Semien."
Selecting Anderson (first round), Tyler Danish (second round), May and Andrew Mitchell (fourth round) helped the White Sox have one of the deeper Drafts in '13, according to Callis. He mentioned the interesting prospects added from Boston in the Jake Peavy /Avisail Garcia three-team deal, with Francelis Montas possessing "a big arm" and Cleulius Rondon showing great defensive ability at shortstop.
Evaluating the White Sox system in the past has been tough, according to Mayo. They haven't developed many elite prospects along the lines of Chris Sale, but players have come up and made big league contributions. Depth becomes the biggest present difference, presenting a confident group of players who aren't overly worried about system rankings.
"If you read those ratings and lose sleep over them, then you are not really in the game for the right reason," said fleet-footed second-base prospect Micah Johnson. "I would rather have guys with talent that work hard and understand their game, and that's what I like about our guys."

A Pennsylvania man charged with stealing more than $85,000 worth of jewelry and other items during a series of August home break-ins was sentenced last week to serve 18 months in a house of correction.
Damien N. Derose, 28, of Doylestown, Pa., pleaded guilty Sept. 27 in Edgartown district court to eight counts of breaking and entering a building in the daytime for a felony, six counts of larceny from a building, one count of attempt to commit a crime, one count of larceny more than $250 and one count of malicious destruction of property more than $250.
He was ordered to two and a half years in a house of correction, with 18 months to serve and about 42 days of jail credit given. The balance was suspended for four years and he was placed on probation for four years.
Mr. Derose was ordered to pay $2,875 in restitution, a $90 victim/witness assessment fee and a $65 monthly probation services fee. He was also ordered to remain drug and alcohol-free with screens, to attend an inpatient drug treatment program upon release from jail, and to write a letter of apology to victims via probation.
He also pleaded guilty to possessing a class A drug (heroin), sentenced to six months in a house of correction concurrent with the other counts.
Three charges of larceny more than $250 were dismissed upon request of the commonwealth.
According to police reports filed in court, Mr. Derose was arrested after a series of break-ins at eight homes in Edgartown, Chilmark and West Tisbury over the weekend of August 16. Laptop computers, thousands of dollars in cash, wallets, prescription medicines and a wide array of jewelry were among the stolen items. About $50,000 in jewelry, including a $15,000 yellow gold diamond ring, were taken from one Edgartown home. Edgartown Det. Sgt. Chris Dolby said that in the two Edgartown cases, all of the stolen items were recovered and returned to the owners.
Police said a Chilmark homeowner arrived home August 18 to find Mr. Derose in the house and a pillow case of jewelry on the floor. Police reports said Mr. Derose allegedly used the pillowcases to hold the stolen items. At several homes, there were no signs of forced entry, though in one case, a basement window was broken to gain access to the house. Police allegedly found 29 individual Baggies of heroin at his residence, a total of 2.9 grams.

Slider Puzzle: Lesson 6
From OLPC
Slider Puzzle Lesson 6: Create Your Own Flag
- Understand the purpose of a flag.
- Reflect and think about individual characteristics.
- Come up with symbols to represent these characteristics.
- Practice presenting individual ideas to others.
- Create an image using skills previously learned on the computer.
- Build a newly created image on the Slider Puzzle.
1) Using the "Paint" activity, design your own flag that symbolizes YOU. Place objects, symbols, colors and designs that are meaningful and representative of YOU. If you have difficulty coming up with ideas, talk to other students, they might help to spark ideas in your imagination.
2) Share your own personal flag with the class and explain the symbols you included on it. (For example, one girl's flag might have many hearts because she has a lot of love for the people around her; another boy might have pictures of books because he love to read).
3) Put your newly created flag into the Slider Puzzle.
4) Walk around and solve each other's puzzles.

Using Hypnosis for Asthma
Research shows that negative emotions such as panic and depression can affect the respiratory system, in effect bringing on an asthma episode in people with the condition.
Hypnosis treatment can lower stress (1) , a common trigger of asthma, but also we know that the power of the mind can influence physical processes. Hypnosis can improve immune function and anaesthetize pain and directly and beneficially effect the workings of the body (2) and can ease asthma (3).
Ease Asthma will get you feeling more relaxed and give you a way of quickly feeling more comfortable during typical asthma trigger times. It will re-train your unconscious mind to minimize episodes and get you feeling instantly more free from asthma symptoms.

(1) (Paul Lehrer, PhD, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, along with colleagues in Seoul, Korea, and at Rutgers University and the University of Texas at El Paso 2001)
(2) Ernest Hilgard (1977) and coworkers: in extensive investigations, using experimental paradigms to induce pain (typically either a tourniquet cutting off the circulation to a limb or plunging the limb into cold water), they have demonstrated that various types of pain can be reduced by Hypnotically induced analgesia.
(3) Maher-Loughnan (1970) asthmatic subjects were randomly assigned to either Hypnosis or relaxation therapy. The results showed both treatment modalities of benefit to the patients, but the improvement in the Hypnotherapy group was significantly greater. There was a peak of improvement between the seventh and twelfth weeks of treatment. In addition, only the Hypnotic subjects showed improvement in physiologic measures of respiration (forced expiratory volume).
N.B. We recommend that you speak to a medical professional if you do suffer from asthma, before commencing any hypnosis-based treatment.

"Siskiyou County CattleWomen spend a lot of time, money and energy on their scholarship program for Siskiyou County graduates.
"Siskiyou County CattleWomen spend a lot of time, money and energy on their scholarship program for Siskiyou County graduates. As part of our mission to encourage leadership in agriculture and in life in general, two (and sometimes more) scholarships are awarded each year to graduating seniors and one is given to a continuing college student," stated Gail Jenner of the Siskiyou County CattleWomen.
"The program has grown over the years even as the unit has worked to set aside more and more funds. It's an exciting and worthwhile venture, one that the group will continue to grow," said Jenner.

She stated, "In spite of coming from a small school, where there was only one book on genetics, and a rural area, Marshall felt he learned how to learn and how to work hard from his childhood here in Siskiyou County." She added, "We are so grateful for all the support and encouragement he received. That includes organizations like the CattleWomen."
