My dad can read but doesn't much… unless you count horse magazines. Something about equine breaking and shoeing gets his literature on. My mom is a huge fan of "sex and sufferin" books… this is how she categorizes her reading pursuits. I understand the "sex" part, but the "sufferin" is what throws me for a loop. Personally, I am a huge fan of sex, but the suffering part is a downer. Not because I am squeamish, but because I don't give a shit about book characters having to suffer. Just get back to the "throbbing manhoods" and "heaving" bosoms. I am also surprised she doesn't use the words "velvety" and "ravishing" more often in her everyday speech. I believe those two words are prominently used in her "S&S" books. Glad she isn't into "S&M" books… who knows what she would talk about when chowing down on Crisco fried food at the dinner table.
Obviously, reading was a big part of my childhood… but I have never read an S&S book. I don't remember Mother Goose and some old lady with a foot fetish with a worn-out uterus. I do remember we had this Native American folklore book (back then it was entitled "American Indian"). Today you would be confused between the building of the Taj Mahal and spirits of Tatonkas by the title of this book.
My sister and I are now voracious readers. If you were her Facebook friend you would get a constant stream of Kindle book recommendations and recipes. She is really into the literature of chocolate corn muffins. I'm into nonfiction and worthless humor. I am really into the literature of the nerd.
Our reading habits are based on having parents who A) encouraged reading and B) didn't really know what the fuck we were reading. Once we got old enough to buy, or check out, our own books we pretty much explored the world on our own. We never had a book removed or banned through the infamous hand snatch that so many parents are known for. I am not even sure they were aware of our forays in literature… I just know that I was never told what I couldn't read. This may be the only liberal aspect to my otherwise Southern Republican parents' life.
The Third World War by Sir John Hackett, published in 1982, was the book that gave me insight into the importance of parenting. I read this adult book when I was 12. It was technically proficient imagining of a war in Europe between NATO and the Warsaw Pact that would happen in August 1985. Eight years later I would excel as an Army private because I was ready (after reading this book) to be part of the coming inferno in Europe… the Soviet Union collapsed months after I enlisted. I enlisted as a 19D, Armored Cavalry Scout… which meant that in case of war with the Warsaw Pact I would have been a real shitty T-72 speed bump in the Fulda Gap. This book built a foundation in my mind and ensured that I could accurately identify the Soviet mechanized formations… at least the Forward Security Element of the Advanced Guard. We Cav Scouts weren't expected to live past initial contact with these units. In Afghanistan, these formations proved less than succesful for the Soviets. This book prepared me for my future career in the Army.
Getting this book was not that easy though. I saw the book in the Bad Nauheim, Germany, Post-Exchange bookstore. I was either in the 6th or 7th grade, I don't really remember. But I do remember being fascinated by the "novel's" cover, it featured a Soviet T-72 shooting out of some flames… this is the same type of tank I mentioned earlier that was designed to roll over the top of dumbass 19-year-old American privates like me. The store clerk wouldn't let me buy it. She specifically said "that book is for adults, you can't have it." I was crushed, as a 12-year-old who had been raised on war toys, being refused a book on war was unthinkable. We won't discuss the parenting decision of allowing me to play with war toys or how I grew up fantasizing about the military… which were dispelled once I actually served in the military. I walked home broken-hearted.
My dad, an Army NCO at the time, saw my crest fallen face and asked me what was wrong. Today I would have said "the fucking bitch at the book store wouldn't let me buy a book I wanted. Since when is censorship ok?"… but since I was 12, I said something like "the mean store clerk wouldn't let me buy a book I wanted and I don't know why… something about me not being old enough." This pissed my dad off… pissed him off in a way that I didn't expect. I thought he would be mad at me for acting sad and mopey, instead he was pissed at the bookstore bitch. He curtly told me to follow him.
We marched (did I mention my dad was an Army sergeant) back to the store. Upon entering we marched (did I mention my dad was good at marching) up to the counter and confronted the bitch. He placed his hand on my shoulder and said "Do you see this boy? Any time he is here and wants to buy anything… he can. I don't care if it is a Playboy magazine or some 'adult' book. He can buy anything he wants. I determine what he can read, not you." With that he did an about-face and marched out with me standing there. I then bought the fucking book.
My dad didn't say a word when I returned with it (I think he was polishing his Army boots… Army sergeants do that). I didn't thank him because I did not realize how important this event was. Years later, upon recalling this event I thanked him. He didn't remember it but admitted it was something he would have done and would do again.
My dad can read but doesn't do it much. But he served in the Army so you can read all the S&S books you want. I have bitched about my parents a lot as I was growing up. Now as a man, I realize that they did the best they could. Parenting be hard. This is one of the greatest memories I have of my dad. By the way, horse breaking and shoeing magazines bore the shit out of me, but when I see one I think of my dad, smile, and think how that bookstore bitch didn't know what hit her.

Big spender: Cox Plate-winning trainer Chris Waller was active at the Tattersalls horses-in-training sale. Photo: Tertius PickardWizard of Odds: Live Odds, Form and Alerts for all RacingFollow our Derby Day tips to find a winner
n buyers came to the fore at the first two sessions of the Tattersalls Autumn Horses in Training sale in England earlier this week with the three top-priced gallopers all destined for careers in Sydney and Melbourne.
The top-priced lot on the opening day was Prospector purchased by Grant Pritchard-Gordon, who declared the winner of three races was bound, but wouldn't confirm the identity of his client.
Pritchard-Gordon made the opening bid of 240,000 guineas for Prospector, which was to prove a winning move. The agent revealed he had adopted this sale-ring tactic successfully in the past.
The colt was initially purchased by Coolmore for £1.4 million ($3 million) as a yearling. He is a half-brother to one of their successful shuttle stallions Mastercraftsman.
"Prospector has a profile of a very nice staying horse who should be suited to racing in ." Pritchard-Gordon said.
Chris Waller's bloodstock agent Guy Mulcaster bought three horses on day one but had to settle as the under bidder on the second-highest lot, Red Galileo.
Ed Dunlop ended up paying 155,000 guineas for Red Galileo who is Dubai bound, with the Mulcaster-Waller duo ending up with three tried stayers.
They bought Obsidian (Street Cry), a two-time winner for 60,000 guineas; Estikhraaj (Dansili) for 30,000 guineas, the winner of one race with two placings during his three-year-old career. Prescience (Kyllachy) cost 22,000 guineas after placing on four occasions this year in Britain.
On Tuesday Louis Le Metayer's Astute Bloodstock signed for the day's top lot at 230,000 guineas for Pilote D'Essai (Oasis Dream), the winner of three mile races in France from his six overall starts.
Astute bought the horse on behalf of Melbourne-based clients and said at this stage a trainer had not been decided. The horse was a late addition to the Tattersall's sales having been prepared by Andre Fabre.
The Waller-Mulcaster duo struck with Lot 661 – McCreery (Big Bad Bob) – which has had just four starts for two wins earlier this year and one placing.
Mulcaster said: "We really wanted McCreery. The biggest attraction was his form and he looks a very progressive type. We went to 200,000 guineas for the three-year-old and Chris should be able to syndicate him after last Saturday's Cox Plate success."
Mulcaster also bought another on day two, paying just 16,000 guineas for Lord Major (Lawman), which has been placed twice for Ed Dunlop.
The biggest spend for the Waller-Mulcaster team was at the third session with four buys for a total of 272,000 guineas. This gave them new additions for 600,000 guineas, averaging out at 66,667 guineas.
They bought Richard Of Yorke (Oasis Dream) for 120,000 guineas, Hipparchus (Champs Elysees) for 100,000 guineas, Scooter (Mizzen Mast) for 30,000 guineas and Quick Defence (First Defence) for 22,000 guineas.
Waller began his assault at the Tattersall's sales back in 2006 and he has prepared a huge number of winners including group 1 performers My Kingdom of Fife, Moriarty, Foreteller and Opinion.
It's obviously 12 months to the 2016 Melbourne Cup but won't it be remarkable if one of Waller's nine buys graduates to the race that stops a nation.
Hoofnote: There were two-high priced colts sold on the third day, with Convergence fetching the top price of 420,000 guineas. He will head to Qatar, while Rembrandt Van Rijn is off to the 2016 Dubai carnival after changing hands for 400,000 guineas.
Darley lifts US stallion fees
Darley has announced their 2016 stallion fees for their US base, Jonabell Stud in Kentucky, with Medaglia d'Oro having his covering costs raised from $US125,000 ($176,000) to $150,000.
The sire of 14 group 1 performers stood the 2015 n season at their Aberdeen base for $110,000 (inc GST) as a result of his two-year-old Vancouver winning this year's Golden Slipper Stakes.
Other shuttle stallions from Darley include Bernardini, which rises from $US85,000 to $US100,000 with Hard Spun and Street Sense both rising from $US35,000 to $US50,000, while Animal Kingdom remains at $US35,000.
Coolmore stallion Uncle Mo took the honours for being the busiest stallion in Kentucky in the 2015 breeding season with 221 coverings. Other Coolmore shuttle sires currently serving in are also prominent with Declaration Of War (192) and Verrazano (183) coming in seventh and ninth respectively.
Winx boost for Street Cry
The 2015-16 n stallions premiership took a new look with Winx's record-breaking Cox Plate win last Saturday catapulting her sire Street Cry to a lead of close to $1 million over hot favourite Fastnet Rock.
It was quite intriguing to see the new top 10 including four stallions that are either deceased or infertile, with Street Cry having passed away at Darley's n farm in September last year.
Encosta De Lago (third) was retired on December 31 due to fertility issues at the Jerry's Plains Coolmore Stud, while High Chaparral (eighth) was euthanised at Coolmore's Irish base on December 21.
The remaining stallion is Northern Meteor (10th) who died on July 30, 2013 at Widden Stud, now the home of his best son Zoustar, which stands alternative seasons at the latter farm and also Woodside Park in Victoria.
Street Cry's winning total is $3,858,674 and he had a lead of $993,379 over Fastnet Rock after racing last Saturday. The latter, however, has a commanding lead in the number of individual winners with 66 successful to comfortably lead Not A Single Doubt.
The other top-19 stallions currently are Holy Roman Emperor (fourth), Lonhro (fifth), Redoute's Choice (sixth), Sebring (seventh) and Exceed and Excel (ninth).
No doubt the stallions premiership will have many more changes during the next eight days with the huge prizemoney on offer at the four Flemington meetings.

Liquidmetal Part
Liquidmetal Laser Sensor Case
Thursday, August 19, 2010
A Picture Worth a Thousand Words
A few years back I walked into a machine shop to see first hand all of the machinery and equipment needed for a typical machine shop to crank out a multitude of products.
This picture above is a summary of my visit.
One can readily see the tremendous investment in equipment as listed on the left needed to machine the displayed parts and components quite common to many industrial applications. One can also imagine all of the time consuming operations necessary to machine just one part from a block of metal: drilling, tapping, milling, routing, mitering, deburring, sandblasting and other finishing. In some cases, hours per piece can be consumed to yield a finished product.
One can see by the text in the middle just how many marketing areas there are for a machine shop, and this list is hardly exhaustive.
Now, look at the picture without the machine and equipment list on the left. Instead, envision one liquidmetal die casting or injection molding machine instead.
Then, look at all the parts pictured, a second time. All of them may be net-cast with liquidmetal in minutes. Double click on the picture to enlarge it.

CORRECTED - UPDATE 2-Jabil says economy dampens forecast
(Corrects decline in share price for Flextronics)
(Recasts, adds executive comment)
By Scott Hillis
SAN FRANCISCO, March 25 (Reuters) - Contract electronics manufacturer Jabil Circuit Inc (JBL.N: Quote, Profile, Research) gave a profit forecast below Wall Street estimates, saying an economic "air pocket" was hurting demand for products like mobile phones and televisions, and its shares fell as much as 13 percent.
Jabil, which makes products for companies such as network gear supplier Cisco Systems Inc (CSCO.O: Quote, Profile, Research), mobile phone giant Nokia (NOK1V.HE: Quote, Profile, Research) and personal computer company Hewlett-Packard Co (HPQ.N: Quote, Profile, Research), said revenue fell in the quarter ended last month from the previous quarter, but said business could bounce back as early as late summer.
"This is clearly a sign of the softening macroeconomic environment ... not market-share loss," Chief Executive Timothy Main told a conference call. The company's rivals include Flextronics International Ltd (FLEX.O: Quote, Profile, Research).
"We are hitting a pretty significant macroceconomic air pocket and I don't think anybody is immune to that," Main said.
Jabil said that revenue from its mobility segment fell 31 percent in the second quarter from the first quarter, while display revenue fell 40 percent.
Main said previous slowdowns lasted a quarter or two before customers resumed ordering. He said a slowing economy also tended to prompt companies to turn more to outsourcing, and pushed weaker players out of the market.
"We might be in a bottoming period right now and we might see a nice bounce-back in late summer, early fall," Main said when asked how long the economic downturn would last.
Jabil said that for its current fiscal quarter it expected to post revenue of $3.05 billion to $3.15 billion, below the $3.25 billion that was the average analyst forecast on Reuters Estimates.
The company said it expected a net profit of 9 cents to 13 cents per share and core earnings of 18 cents to 22 cents per share.
Analysts had been looking for Jabil to show a net profit of 20 cents per share and a profit excluding items such as stock-based compensation and amortization of intangibles of 34 cents per share, according to Reuters Estimates.
Jabil shares fell to $9.91 in extended trading, down 12.9 percent from their close of $11.38 on the New York Stock Exchange. The shares have fallen 49 percent over the past year, compared to a 9 percent decline in Flextronics' share price over the same time.
Flextronics shares were unchanged after Jabil's report at $10.21.
Jabil also posted a net loss for its second fiscal quarter ended Feb. 29 of $24 million, or 12 cents per share, compared with a net profit of $13.9 million, or 7 cents per share, a year earlier. Revenue was $3.06 billion, up 4 percent from $2.93 billion a year earlier.
The company said the loss was due mainly to restructuring charges that were $41 million higher than a year earlier.
The $24 million loss compared with Wall Street's expectation of a $7 million net profit, according to Reuters Estimates. (Reporting by Scott Hillis, editing by Phil Berlowitz, Gary Hill)

Murders in Puerto Rico Reach All Time High
With just over six weeks to go in the year, the murder rate in Puerto Rico has tied a record.
Police there say number of homicides on the island is the most since 1994, the previous high mark for homicides. Three overnight killings pushed the homicide mark to 995.
A police statement issued Wednesday says the shooting of a 39-year-old man in the town of Humacao is the latest killing in the Caribbean island. The other deaths overnight were a teenager and a 25-year-old man, both in the capital.
Murders in Puerto Rico have exploded in the last year. There are 150 more homicides than there were in all of last year.
Puerto Rico has struggled in recent years with violent crime fueled by the island's drug trade. The island of 4 million people has tried a number of strategies, including replacing its police chief and enlisting the help of federal authorities to solve violent crimes.
A recent U.S. Department of Justice report found that police are arresting suspects for only 43 percent of the island's homicides, making it the only U.S. jurisdiction where fewer than half of all homicides lead to an arrest. The island's rate of homicide arrests has plummeted since hitting 60 percent in the late '80s and early '90s.
The U.S. national average is 66 percent, according to the federal report on the island's police force, which accuses authorities of illegal killings, corruption and widespread civil rights violations.
Gov. Luis Fortuno and other officials have said the island is addressing many of the 130 recommendations in the federal report, such as offering additional police training and buying recorders and digital cameras to speed up investigations. But the body count of unsolved homicides continues to grow.

Looking for Notes/Domino books for free advertising

As part of my new Mini-Lessons.info tutorial site, I use the sidebar to list resources (mostly books) that are related to the topic. While I have some of the obvious IBM Notes/Domino books already, I'd like to add any others that people feel are a good fit. Also, if you've written or helped with one, let me know and I'll add that as well.
If you have written or know of a good book in the other categories, GIMP, ePublishing, Web Design (esp. CSS and HTML), please let me know as well, of course. I just figured this might be the one place where people would know about Notes/Domino.

Rangers first half: Who was MVP? What was high, low point?
A quick look back as the Rangers turn the page to the NHL season's second half.
It was a few minutes after the Rangers first half had come to an end, and Alain Vigneault stood behind the podium on the fifth floor of Madison Square Garden to address the state of his team.
Mere hours after he had uncharacteristically ripped his team to reporters in Ottawa following a ghastly performance, Vigneault stressed positives.
"We have shown more consistency," Vigneault said after the 6-3 win over Buffalo on Jan. 25. "If you look at the way we have been playing 5-on-5 we are definitely getting better. We need to spend time on our specialty teams and like I said last week, we need to be better on the road. We know that, but I do believe this group is on the right track here."
The Rangers enter the second half stretch run with a 27-17-5 record and in second place in the Metropolitan Division. In theory, that would be a positive.
But the 2015-16 Rangers have been a question wrapped in an enigma. The Rangers began the season with a 16-3-2 record in the first seven weeks, before stumbling to the All-Star Break with a 11-14-3 mark. Included in that 28 game span were distressing losses to NHL-best Washington on Dec. 20 and to the Senators in Ottawa on Jan. 24.
"We talked about wanting to feel good about our game going into the break and to do that we needed the two points," Henrik Lundqvist said after the win over the Sabres. "I think we've been playing a lot better lately. We didn't get the win yesterday but I thought our performance was a lot better and our determination was right on tonight."
As the Rangers reconvene from a short vacation—with the exception of Ryan McDonagh, who represented the franchise in Nashville at the NHL All-Star Weekend—Metro New York took a look back at the first half and what to pay attention to in the season's final 33 games.
Without further ado:
The 16-3-2 start to the season. The Rangers were scoring goals and Henrik Lundqvist was being mentioned as an extremely early season MVP candidate.
''Look around the league and you see guys putting up huge offensive numbers, playing great hockey," Derek Stepan told reporters about Lundqvist after the Rangers' 3-0 win over Nashville at the Garden on Nov. 23. Lundqvist made 31 saves in the win. "It's no different (than) what (Lundqvist) is doing for our team. We've played some good hockey (and) at times we had (Lundqvist) play some good hockey for us.''
It would be easy to pick the myriad losses between Nov. 25 and Dec. 28 as rock bottom for the 2015-16 Rangers. But the 3-0 loss in Ottawa on Jan. 24 might have been the Rangers worst performance of the season. And it left Vigneault steaming.
"Every time we think we're building a little bit of momentum we came up with one of these," Vigneault told reporters, according to The Record. "Other than (Henrik Lundqvist) and (Jesper Fast), we had so many guys that were off their game it was unbelievable. We were on the outside the whole night. Just didn't have a good game at all," "I thought before the game, if you would have asked me if this group was ready to come out and execute and play hard, I would have said without a doubt. We came out and turned it over three times and gave them Grade A scoring chances right down the middle. It's tough to understand. I keep saying it to the players, it's a competitive league, there's not much separating teams. If you don't come out and execute and play on top of your game, you get what we got tonight, you get blown out 3-0.
"Nobody likes to lose but I really thought we were building momentum," he said. "We played a real strong game in Carolina on the road. I thought we were getting somewhere and then we come up with this tonight So, thanks, I'm out of here."
Tie between Henrik Lundqvist and Mats Zuccarello. Where would the Rangers be without the franchise stalwart netminder and arguably their most indispensable skater? Likely not in playoff contention. Both carried the Rangers in the first 20 games of the season, and have been the team's most consistent players.
Tie between Dan Girard and Marc Staal. The two veteran defensemen have struggled significantly this season, leading to pointed criticism from fans. Both have no-move and no-trade clauses written into their long-term deals, making it problematic for general manager Jeff Gorton to trade one or both.
Keith Yandle. The puck mover is in the last year of a five-year, $26.250 million deal he signed with Arizona, and the Rangers are only on the hook for $2.625 million. But the Rangers have to find money for RFAs Chris Kreider, Kevin Hayes, J.T. Miller, Dylan McIlrath, and UFAs Dominic Moore and Antti Raanta. Plus, even though Yandle is third on the team in power play time—116:50—does the organization feel comfortable paying at least $6 million per for a defenseman who has played 2:11 shorthanded in 49 games?
Let's be honest. The Washington Capitals are going to win the Metropolitan Division. As of this writing, Washington has a 15-point lead over the Rangers for first in the Metro.
The Rangers have a three point lead over the third place Islanders in the division, with the Penguins (55 points), Devils (55 points) Hurricanes (54 points) and Flyers (50 points) still in closing distance.
But the question Gorton, Vigneault and the rest of the hockey operations department must ask and answer is whether the current edition is a Cup contender, or a group that could use an infusion of youth for the future.
By no means is a playoff berth a guarantee, and a Cup run seems unlikely.

Let's get one thing straight: I don't hate Valentine's Day. That would require me to have any particular feelings about it at all, and to say that I do would be vastly overstating things. To me, V-Day is sort of like Cinco de Mayo. I always forget it's going to happen, but when someone reminds me that it's coming, it seems like as good a reason as any to have a few cocktails. And maybe a reason to eat a few enchiladas too, even though I'm aware that that's only customary for one of those holidays. I just like enchiladas.
So when I got the email from Megs instructing me to pick a few V-Day things to write about, I wasn't exactly sure what I was going to do. When I think of Valentine's Day with a significant other, the only thing that occurs to me is that I'm going to get a free meal at my favorite restaurant, which isn't even romantic (really, it's a fusion taco place, and no boyfriend has ever believed me when I said that I wanted to go there on V-Day. They all thought I was trying to trick them and then took me someplace expensive that I invariably didn't enjoy as much as my taco place). (more…)

Paul the psychic Octopus has died while being forced to watch the X Factor finalists' performances from last Saturday's live show, Seleb Spy can exclusively reveal.
The tentacled sage gained worldwide fame after he predicted the winners of all of Germany's World Cup matches, and then the victors in the final, by selecting one of two boxes containing the competing team's flags.
Stefan Porwoll, the manager of the Oberhausen Sea Life Centre in Germany confirmed that the psychic cephalopod had been filming a segment for ITV2's the Xtra Factor in which he would be played all of last Saturday's live performances and then would predict the winner by choosing one of twelve boxes each containing the picture of one of the X Factor contestants.
However relatively early on during the gruelling two-hour show the octopus's keepers noticed the animal was acting erratically, in a way they had never seen before.
One of Paul's keepers told Seleb Spy: "Paul started showing signs of distress during Belle Amie, he sprayed his ink during One Direction, defecated during Cher Lloyd, and by the time Katie Waissel had finished he was already floating at the top of his tank."
Simon Cowell offered his condolences to Oberhausen Sea Life Centre, saying: "My thoughts are potentially with the staff at the Sea Life Centre during this difficult time. Having said that, the octopus's death was of course in no way related to the X Factor performances.
"Wouldn't 'Octopus' be a great name for a slutty eight-piece girlband on the X Factor? That's an idea for next year."
Paul's body has been purchased by a local Spanish restaurant to be used in paella.

Exodus 17-19…God brings about water from the rock, Jethro visits Moses, and God instructs Moses at Mount Sinai.
The Rock is one of the titles of Jehovah (Deut. 32:15). In 1 Corinthians 10:1–4, we read that the Rock (of Horeb) was Christ. Christ would stand in our place, the place of the accused, and bear judgment for the sins of His people. The rod is a symbol of judgment—in this case, divine judgment, for Moses was God's representative. By the rod, Jesus was smitten, and by His stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:5) from sin. In the same way, by the smiting of the rock at Horeb, water flowed forth, just as the Holy Spirit flows forth from Christ to nourish and equip His church. And so, in the Old Testament, we see this beautiful picture of God's grace in the salvation of His people, for He stands in our place so that by His wounds we will be healed.
In Exodus 19, Moses gives us an inspired account of what happened at Sinai when the Israelites arrived. God made His presence known on the beginning of the third day, descending as fire and enveloping the mountain in lightning, thunder, cloud and smoke (vv. 16–19). This was truly an awesome sight, and it was meant to remind the people that the God who set them free was no deity to be taken lightly. Other passages of Scripture tell us that angels were also present (Galatians 3:19), their submission to the Lord being a further indication of His glory and power. God's holiness is also demonstrated in His appearance to the people at Sinai, as the need for the people to be purified is stressed. They are also forbidden to touch the mountain lest they be destroyed (Exodus 19:9–15).
Our need for a Savior is woven throughout these chapters. Each day, we need to be laid low, humbling ourselves before God in repentance, and esteeming Jesus greatly. The more we grow in our understanding of the massive chasm between God and us because of our sin and His holiness, the more we'll love Christ. If we believe in Him for any other reason, we've missed the entire point of Christianity.

Faculty Senate
- The Faculty Senate consists of full-time faculty. Full time faculty consists of Program Directors, Course Curriculum Coordinators and all other full-time, non administrative, faculty. Academic Department Chairs are not considered full time faculty for purposes of the Faculty Senate. Adjunct Faculty and others with faculty status who are not full time faculty are invited to attend Senate meetings as non-voting members. All full time faculty, as defined above, are voting members of the Faculty Senate. It is expected that all full-time faculty attend and participate in every meeting as indicated in the faculty employment agreement. If a full time faculty member cannot attend a meeting of the Faculty Senate, he or she should notify the Chair and Secretary of the Senate. A separation from the College or any other change from full-time faculty status will be considered resignation from the Senate.
- A Chairperson, Vice Chairperson, and Secretary will be elected each September for a one-year term and will be considered to be the Officers of the Faculty Senate. The election will take place at the September meeting of the Faculty Senate set by the Chair. Balloting procedures will be determined by the Senate in advance of the election of Officers. Senate Officers must meet the requirements of voting Senate membership. A Faculty Senate Officer will be allowed to serve in the same Office for a limit of 3 years in any 4 year period. Should a separation of a Faculty Senate Officer occur, the Senate will elect a new Officer to fill the rest of the departing Officer's term. For election purposes, an Officer that serves any part of a term will be considered as if the entire term has been served. The Senate reserves the right to remove an Officer for neglect of duty, misconduct or other concerns that the Senate may deem necessary. The removal of an Officer, however, may only take place with 50% +1 of the voting Senate Membership approving. The Officer in question will have 60 days after the vote to consider removal, to convince the Senate why he or she should not be removed before the Senate may vote for removal from office. During said time, the Officer will retain all of his or her authority, rights, duties, and responsibilities that are assigned to his or her Office. The Officer in question may not be present at the vote for removal. If the Chairperson is considered for removal, the Vice Chairperson will preside over the vote. For other Officers, the Chairperson will preside.
- Times and dates of Faculty Senate meetings will be set by the Chair. The Senate will meet approximately once every eight weeks and other times at the discretion of the Chair. A one-week notice of an unscheduled meeting will be required.
- The agenda will be sent to members or posted on BlackBoard one week prior to meetings. Any topic to be placed on the agenda should be submitted in writing to the Secretary within two weeks of a scheduled meeting. Topics must be relevant to the business of the Senate. All non-members may address the Senate in open-session only. The Senate will hold open session only by submitting a request to the Chair one week prior to the meeting. The Senate will hold open session for 20 minutes at the second meeting of the semester. Extension of open session time may be granted by the Chair.
- The Senate will discuss and vote on proposals using parliamentary procedure according to Robert's Rules of Order. A copy of the Robert's Rules of Order is in the Goodwin College Library for reference.
- Voting on proposals will be conducted by voice, hand, ballot or electronic submission. A majority of those present is needed for a vote to pass.
- This Constitution requires a 50%+1 affirmative vote of voting members present to pass. Amendments to this Constitution may be proposed at any regularly scheduled meeting, provided appropriate procedures are followed, but require a 50%+1 affirmative vote of voting members present to pass.
- Ad-hoc committees will be formed as needed at the Senate's discretion.

The programmatic market is going through the ceiling. It's that part of the year when native programmatic innovation firms are focusing on creating solutions that give ad publishers endless capabilities to scale their video inventories. Cashing on to the trend, Connatix, a native advertising platform for premium publishers, announced the launch of its new platform, Connatix Programmatic Syndication.
The new solution by Connatix is the first-of-its-kind programmatic solution that provides an end-to-end audience extension product for publishers, giving publishers the ability to scale their programmatic video monetization by distributing content and programmatic demand as a package across Connatix' brand safe network.
To know what's happening in programmatic ecosystem, read this: 5 Ways CMOs can Include Programmatic for Video Advertising in 2017
"While video today is one of the most popular and widely used forms of advertising for publishers, publishers still often face challenges predicting and meeting programmatic fill rates," said David Kashak, founder and CEO of Connatix.
"That's where we step in: Connatix is the fastest growing premium video distribution network, currently ranked #8 in comScore, so publishers can drive substantial revenue from programmatic partners with our platform."
More on Technology: Programmatic Tech Bytes with Andrew Gerhart, COO at AerServ
By launching this new product, Connatix sows an entire Programmatic Syndication ecosystem in one offering, including its player, video CMS and premium network of publishers delivering over 3 billion video views per month. Using this product gives Connatix' publishing partners the power to serve their video content to the audiences that their advertisers are targeting. Since it's a proprietary technology, Connatix customers can witness a significant boost in the programmatic revenue, with maximum scaling opportunities.

Connatix could be great for branded content advertisements, owing to the powerful real-time analytics presented over its intuitive dashboard. In the age when publishers are trying to get hold of their website performance, Programmatic Syndication is an ideal technology solution. It helps publishers better engage their audiences, increase their video inventory and generate more revenue.
What's more? Brand content marketers and advertisers can safeguard their reputation against the malice of Fake News and malvertising that often comes through programmatic channels. This added layer of protection for syndication partners enhances the brand-safe environment.

More on my blog http://blogg.vk.se/amandabrohman
Not my best look, or something like that. Definitely not. Here you actually get to see beyond my surface. I wore almost no make-up today, I don't have a great hairstyle and my body looks like it does IRL.
Not as "model-like" as some might have imagined.
Of course, I could've made a choice to not upload these pictuers, and I thought aboutit for a minute or so. But then I decided to do it, anyway. To let you see that I am not perfect, not by far.
And no one is, really. To be honest.
I swear.
It might be disappointing sometimes, I have many times felt that feeling of disappointment when I realize some one famous (who I thought was amazingly pretty) turns out to be just as ordinary as the rest of us.
But maybe that's good, because no one is perfect. No one will ever be.
Keep inspiring, keep giving me your amazing feedback, I appreciate and I am inspired by you ALL! Even if I'm not able to write back to all of you!
P.S: The second photo is together with one of my gorgeous friends, Emma, isn't she super-cute? I think so.

You know, I've been lazy lately, not keeping up with my posting, thinking I've seen it all, and then POW! I'm back in the game, baby.

Harry Styles, from One Direction (girls are swooning right freaking now), just got a new tattoo right beside his third nipple.

Hey, teenage girl across the street, bring your Tiger Beat magazine over here and look at this: The Harry has three nipples! No, Niall doesn't have one too.

Um, is that a Tardis? Dude. Not bad.

And yeah, that headline totally rocks.

Not much, just that about 5% of people have one, they're pretty cool, and that you shouldn't worry about it.

Personally, I'd be more excited if he revealed the secret powers it bestows on us. Nudge nudge wink wink, all you extra nipple people know what I'm talking about.

The image itself is the frontispiece for Erasmus Darwin's book "The Temple of Nature". (This book, published in 1803, predates his more famous grandson's book on evolution by at least 57 years. Check it here.

Aah, Mauritius. Beautiful island nation almost 1000 km off the coast of Madagascar. One day, I hope to visit. Apparently the view from the volcanic crater Trou aux Cerfs is spectacular.

To wit, I'm talking about its view the "Let Trois Mamelons" or what we refer to in English as "The Three Nipples."

Yup, three perky little mountains that remain topless. As far as I know. I mean, I suppose someone could have climbed them and carefully place a bra on the precise apex of the peak, for the sake of modesty, but why would they do that? I mean, it looks like a nice sunny place for tanning.

I've been getting comments on this blog from people (mostly 14-year-olds, for some reason) with a third nipple who hate it and want to get it cut off. (Without their mothers finding out, natch.)

As a male, maybe I look on it a little differently, but I've always found my extra nipple interesting and different, which is a good thing.

If you're a girl, and you're dealing with that whole female-body-image thing, then I'm reluctant to offer advice, because it's out of my element... but here goes:

Plenty of women have three nipples too (check out the archives of this blog -- models, dj's, actresses, pop stars, executed queens...) and trust me, what seems monumentally important at 14 will becomre more and more accepted as you get older.

Besides, isn't it nice to have a quick and easy way to weed shallow assholes out of your potential dating pool?

After all, if someone can't deal with your extra nipple, how are they going to deal with the rest of your unique personality? And if they're only interested in your blemish-free perfect female body, do you really think they're worth your time?

In short, relax. Get used to your superfluous nipple and learn to love it. Find out what special powers it gives you. Mine alerts me when I'm in impending danger, or when the ice cream truck is getting nearer.

I'll never advocate going to a dermatologist to get it cut off, but I hear it's quick and easy. Of course, so is going to the tattoo parlor and getting a third eye stuck in the middle of your forehead. Whatever floats your boat.

Love,
Me and my third nippleDread Pirate Roberthttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-16422305.post-27128254730832752262008-06-04T13:47:00.000-07:002008-06-04T13:48:46.322-07:00Three Nipples in Tibetan CultureIn Tibetan tradition, an extra nipple can be a good omen!

Three nipples, and other birthmarks, are sometimes indicators of special abilities within the nyingma (ancient) tradition.

Birthmarks and third nipples were a sine qua non (absolutely necessary) condition to prove extraordinary visionary destiny within the tulku (incarnation or rebirth) system.

I'm not making this up, either -- a very kind Tibetan (is there any other type?) named Panchen Kunga (he writes a blog, in French, called Buddhistan at http://buddhistan.blogspot.com) passed this on to me after visiting.

And after hearing how important extra nipples are in Tibetan culture, I figure that's just another reason to loathe the murderous scum that make up the Chinese Communist Party and have been butchering innocent Tibetans for over 50 years now.

Jo Whiley has gone under the knife to have a third nipple removed.

But she says she was shocked when her doctor told her it was actually a mini nipple reports The Sun.

She said: "My husband has nicknamed me Scaramanga, after the James Bond baddie who also had three. Strange. On Monday I had three nipples, today I've got two."

Look at all these extra nipples!Alexander Graham Bell was ready to answer the call of science -- especially when the subject of superfluous nipples came up.

From the Science Vault of Shelley Batts:

The Multi-Nippled Sheep of Alexander Graham Bell

 Some say that American science is defined by its innovation and creativity, and who better embodies that than Alexander Graham Bell? Inventor of the telephone (strike that, first patenter of it!), founding member of the National Geographic Society and the journal Science, Bell's list of accolades is long and prestigious. Although, perhaps a little-known fact about this man was that he was also quite preoccupied with the nipples of the sheep that lived on his estate. After noticing that some sheep had more than the average number of nipples, he attempted to systematically breed them to determine the genetic underpinnings of the extraneous nipples. Luckily this precious information was published in Science in 1904, entitled "The Multi-Nippled Sheep of Beinn Bhreagh."

Beinn Bhreagh was Bell's estate near the town of Baddeck, Nova Scotia. When he purchased the property, some sheep came along with it. Or as he put it "I found myself to be in possession of a flock of sheep; and in the spring of 1890, one half of the lambs born upon the place turned out to be twins."

This higher-than-normal percentage of twins seemed a bit odd to Bell, who being a curious person, decided to examine the mothers of the twins and compare them to the mothers who had single births. And he did find a difference.

"Upon examining the milk-bags of the sheep a peculiarity was observed that was thought might be significant. Normally sheep have only two nipples upon the milk bag, but in the case of several of the sheep examined, supernumerary nipples were discovered....."

Bell further saw that the extra nipples were not functional, although some had three or four nipples instead of just two. Furthermore, the sheep that had extra nipples seemed to be more likely to bear twins (43% vs 24% for the normally-nippled sheep.) So he thought it'd be fun to "make an extended set of experiments to ascertain 1) whether, by selective breeding, the extra nipples could be [made functional], and 2) whether ewes possessing four nipples instead of two" were more fertile and were more likely to have twins.

As to the first goal, Bell's breeding program eventually yielded five and six-nippled sheep (and he expected seeing even more nipples, even eight!) and at least four of the nipples were functional. And sadly, his second hypothesis as to the multi-nippled sheep being more fertile, was disproven. Although, he felt that this had to do with the small sample size and noted that twins born to the multi-nippled mothers gained more weight although they were born smaller than normal. His hope was to impart upon the flocks of America genes from his sheep for "twin-bearing stock [which] would do much to promote this important industry by enabling farmers to make a double profit..."

Well whether that was ever accomplished, the article doesn't say, but Bell did mention an offer of free pamphlets to any interested members of the academy.

Yes, Alexander Graham Bell, born in Scotland, emigated to Canada, moved to the United States, and moved back to his estate in Canada for his greatest work, breeding sheep with extra nipples. I'm sure that's how he would have wanted to be remembered.Dread Pirate Roberthttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-16422305.post-73405947562428865722007-09-12T18:31:00.000-07:002007-09-12T18:32:41.188-07:00Crazy Nipplephobes are on the march...Fly, my pretties, go get that Ubermilf!

Clearly, she's part of the ultra-right-wing conspiracy against tolerance and acceptance of what's clearly the greatest issue facing humanity today: the right to have a superfluous nipple.

Having an extra nipple is not a choice we make -- we're born that way. Or at least the lucky ones are. Do you think we just wake up one day and say "Man, I think today I'll have three nipples?" Jiminy, no!

Here's part of her hatemongering...

God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Eve and Adam's Third Nipple. These people are not part of His plan. They shouldn't be able to adopt children, they shouldn't be allowed to teach children, and for goodness sakes, don't let them marry!
Save me Jeebus, from crazies like this. First of all, it hasn't been proven Adam and Eve DIDN'T have three nipples each... but it was probably only one of them. Someone had to pass that gene down to the rest of us. Eve, most likely, since hers always seem to be hidden by those leaves (what's she trying to hide?), but who's to say that some nipplephobe didn't airbrush Adam's extra nipple out of that painting on the Sistine Chapel? Dang revisionist painters...

Jaime wrote me an email the other day (pics [AT] superfluousnipple [DOT] com) and basically took me to task for not having enough photos of people with four nipples on the site.

Well, Jaime, first of all, there are several. (here, here, and here.) Just because I've only got three nipples doesn't mean that's where I draw the line. Leah's got nine and we like her just fine. (Watch for her to steal the show in Extra Nipples: The Movie!)

So here, in the pursuit of parity, is Jaime and his four nipples.

Oh, and Jaime? Get a better camera. And some lighting. I can barely make out the third one, let alone fourth.

Of course, Jaime never gave me explicit permission to post his picture here, but hey -- he mailed it to me. Open season!

And for the sake of balance, here's mine. Note how it's in focus... not that that's necessarily a good thing. Damn, I should have shaved my chest first.

Well, I've looked at dozens of photographs of the scantily-clad Ms. Max (tough work, being a blogger) and here's a mostly-clothed Masuimi showing off one of her extra nipples, just above and closer to the shoulder. The fourth nipple is symmetrically positioned on the opposite side.

From the Dermatology Online Journal, Volume 12 Issue 4:

A 22-year-old woman sought medical care for a lesion in the plantar region of her left foot, a well-formed nipple surrounded by areola and hair. Microscopic examination of the dermis showed hair follicles, eccrine glands, and sebaceous glands. Fat tissue was noted at the base of the lesion. Clinical and histopathologic findings were consistent with the diagnosis of supernumerary breast tissue, also known as pseudomamma. To our knowledge, this is the first report of supernumerary breast tissue on the foot.

That is definitely not a mole. According to the case study, there was no change in the nipple during pregnancy (i.e. no milk leakage into her socks -- bet THAT wouldn't have smelled nice!).

But I'm still curious about the ticklish part.

P.S. In a previous post, I mentioned that "Mamma Erratica," a term that was used to describe superfluous nipples in an old medical text, was a pretty cool nickname.

In this recent publication, they used the term "pseudomamma" (false breast), which is almost as cool. Kids! Study your Latin! It's the wave of the future!

A third nipple usually occurs somewhere on the chest, but not always. Brazilian researchers recently reported the first case of a nipple occurring on (wait for it) the bottom of the foot.

The case is that of a 22-year-old woman. Her foot nipple was fairly well developed with "well-formed nipple surrounded by areola and hair". Dr. D.M. Conde and three colleagues from the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics at the Hospital Estadual Sumare and the Universidade Estadual de Campinas in Sumara reported the case in May 2006 in Dermatology Online Journal.

I'm looking for photos of this one... I bet her feet are really ticklish!

 1. To stimulate by touching lightly; tickle.
 2. To excite (another) pleasurably, superficially or erotically.

Polymazia (or polymastia) sometimes seems to be hereditary. Robert saw a daughter whose mother was polymastic, and Woodman saw a mother and eldest daughter who each had three nipples. Lousier mentions a woman wanting a mamma who transmitted this vice of conformation to her daughter. Handyside says he knew two brothers in both of whom breasts were wanting.

Supernumerary nipples alone are also seen, as many as five having been found on the same breast. Neugebauer reports eight supernumerary nipples in one case. Hollerus has seen a woman who had two nipples on the same breast which gave milk with the same
regularity and the same abundance as the single nipple. The Ephemerides contains a description of a triple nipple. Barth describes "mamma erratica" on the face in front of the right ear which enlarged during menstruation.

That's what you get for being curious. Now you can be thankful that you don't have a nipple on your face too. And if you do, well, "Mamma Erratica" is a pretty cool nickname.
