CHAPEL HILL � UNC-Chapel Hill announced a new sexual misconduct policy Thursday, more than a year after five women filed federal complaints against the university for its handling and reporting of sexual assaults.
The new policy, which took effect immediately, applies to students and employees. It revises the procedures for the university�s investigation and adjudication of sexual violence, gender discrimination and harassment, interpersonal violence, and stalking. It was crafted from the recommendations of a 22-member task force that worked for months on the details.
UNC-CH Chancellor Carol Folt said the policy complies with federal regulations and is consistent with guidance from the White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault. Folt was part of two meetings on the issue at the White House.
�The adoption of this policy is a vital step in taking a wide-ranging approach to ensuring a safe and welcoming campus,� Folt said in an email to the campus community.
The policy comes as sexual violence has become a dominant issue within higher education nationwide. As of Thursday, 76 colleges and universities are being investigated by the federal government under the Title IX gender equity law.
In North Carolina, UNC-CH and Guilford College are under investigation for Title IX violations related to sexual assault. UNC-CH is also being investigated for its reporting of sexual assaults under federal law regarding campus crime statistics.
Folt said she didn�t know when the federal inquiries would be resolved. But she said the national conversation had mobilized universities to improve campus safety.
�This is a healthy time,� she said. �I think the country is really addressing this. I think it�s a very complicated issue.�
Landen Gambill, a UNC-CH senior and one of the women who filed the federal complaint, said there are many positive aspects to the policy. She likes that it clearly defines consent and addresses dating abuse and stalking.
But she still has an overriding concern � the university�s past reluctance to hold offenders accountable.
�They have a lot of hearings, they investigate a fairly good number of cases, but the number of perpetrators they actually find responsible in the first place is extremely low,� Gambill said Thursday. �That is something that I worry this new policy won�t necessarily address.�
Policy changes
Among the new policy�s key elements:
� A victim can choose a traditional adjudication process or a voluntary resolution that would involve mediation, �restorative justice� or an alternative that would not include discipline of the accused party. This alternative would avoid a confrontational hearing.
� Under the adjudication option, a trained university investigator would seek the facts and issue a finding on whether the accused is responsible. A sanction would be issued in the event of a guilty finding. Challenges to the finding could go to a hearing panel or administrative review.
� Only faculty and staff will serve on three-member administrative hearing panels, so students will not sit in judgment of other students.
� The issue of consent is more clearly defined as an affirmative conscious choice by each participant to engage in sexual contact. Consent can�t be inferred from silence, passivity or lack of resistance.
� A student who is incapacitated by alcohol or drugs is considered unable to give consent, the policy says. Incapacitation is defined as a state beyond intoxication, impaired judgment or drunkenness.
The policy emphasizes that consent must consist of a positive communication, rather than a failure to say �no.�
�It�s a critical element,� said Christi Hurt, who chaired the task force. �I call it the heart of our policy. I think that we have an affirmative definition of consent is really exactly what our students asked us to do.�
Henry Clay Turner, a Chapel Hill attorney who has represented several people who reported sexual assaults, said the policy�s definitions are a welcome change, which he called �thorough and thoughtful.�
A flaw in the policy?
But Turner pointed out what he said was an enormous flaw in the policy that could bring another legal challenge under federal law.
He gave a hypothetical example. If one student is found responsible for a sexual assault by a university investigator, then that student can request a hearing before a three-member panel. But if that student is found not responsible for the assault, the accusing student does not have an automatic right to appeal for a hearing. The case would then go before an administrator for review. Only if the administrator disagrees with the investigator�s finding would the accusing student then get a hearing.
The setup treats the accuser and the accused differently, he said. And the process puts too much power in the hands of university Title IX investigators, said Turner, whose client last week filed suit against the university related to the previous policy.
�This is a huge change and it�s a really bad change, particularly because this office has shown no aptitude for conducting professional or prompt investigations,� Turner said. �So we�re giving them additional responsibility and an added adjudication responsibility.�
Nationally, universities have been criticized for being lax in dealing with sexual assault and minimizing crime reports to protect their images. A recent survey of 350 schools by U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill of Missouri found that 41 percent hadn�t conducted a single investigation of a sexual assault in the past five years.
Concerns about fairness and safety on U.S. campuses have prompted changes in Washington. Besides the involvement of the Obama administration, a bill introduced in Congress last month would force new requirements and stiff penalties for universities that fail to comply with Title IX.
The legislation would mandate annual standardized surveys to get a more accurate picture of sexual violence on each campus. The results would be published online for parents and students to see.
Surveys would be important, because research indicates that sexual assault is grossly under-reported. One 2007 survey of two large universities found that 19 percent of female students experienced an attempted or actual sexual assault.
Folt said UNC-CH is working with the Association of American Universities to build such a campus climate survey.
�Glad to see progress�
The UNC-CH women who filed the original complaint have become major players in the issue, helping to create a national network to organize students and coordinate advocacy. Two of them, Annie Clark and Andrea Pino, helped to start an organization called End Rape on Campus.
Clark, an alumna, said Thursday that she and others were calling for a new policy in 2011, before the federal complaints were filed.
�I wish they would have listened at that point, but I�m glad to see progress being made,� said Clark, who added that she had not fully reviewed the details of the policy.
Folt praised the women for their activism.
�The students from UNC and others who have been advocates and activists have actually had a very important role in moving this conversation forward, not just at Chapel Hill but at every campus in America,� Folt said. �So I give them full credit for it. I look at them as trying to contribute in extremely productive ways at an issue that is of great impact for all of us.�
Gambill said she�s looking forward to graduating. The man she accused of assault is still on campus, she said.
�I will not ever believe that the university is acting in good faith to protect survivors,� she said, �until I see perpetrators kicked off campus.�

I was asked to perform the ordination of Father Pablo Osorio, a Capuchin from Colombia who is stationed in Puerto Rico. Ordinations, of course, are always a very important moment in the life of the Church and I was proud to be asked to do it.
The ordination was held in the Church of our Lady of Perpetual Help. The pastor there, Msgr. Carlos Cantata, worked with us in Washington at the Bishops Conference as the director of the Latin American Secretariat. He is now pastor in Puerto Rico at that parish.
Being in Puerto Rico also afforded me the opportunity to celebrate a Mass for the renewal of vows of Juan and Kim Woodruff, whom I had married over 25 years ago. Kim's parents, Manny and Maura Cassiano, renewed their vows in the same Mass. The renewal of vows took place in the Church of San Francisco, which is one of the churches the Capuchins have in Old San Juan.
This week, the Jesuits held their International Colloquium on Jesuit Secondary Education in Boston from July 29 to August 2.
This is the first gathering of its kind in the history of the order and we are very proud that it was hosted here by Boston College High School and held on the campus on Boston College.
During the colloquium, hundreds of priests, administrators and teachers affiliated with Jesuit high schools throughout the world, including many from Latin America, Africa and Asia, gathered to share ideas and resources. They had a very good week with many different conferences and keynote addresses, including an address by director of the Vatican Press Office, Father Federico Lombardi.
Father Lombardi
I celebrated Mass for them on Tuesday, the Feast of St. Ignatius. The Mass was in French, Spanish and English representing the most commonly spoken languages in that group. The provincial of the New England province Father Myles Sheehan, B.C. president Father William Leahy and Father Lombardi concelebrated with us.
We pray that this very important ministry of training young people in the life of discipleship and academic excellence will be blessed, and the ideals of St. Ignatius will inspire all of those involved in this ministry throughout the world.
I encouraged them to take advantage of the Year of Faith to stress the importance of the Sunday Eucharist for students, to help them to learn how to pray and how to be part of the worshiping community.
As I pointed out at the Mass, their efforts affect not just the thousands of students they have, but all the millions of lives those students will touch. There is a ripple effect to a good Catholic education.
As I told them, I never went to Jesuit school myself, but my father was trained by the Jesuits. They instilled in him a love for the Church, his family, the social gospel of the Church and his Catholic faith, which he passed on to us. In that sense, all of us in my family were the beneficiaries of that Jesuit education.
I also want to note this week that yesterday, August 2, was the Feast of the Portiuncula. The Portiuncula, which means "the little portion," was the tiny chapel that, for St. Francis, became the central church of the order.
In many ways, its smallness and poverty express a lot about the spirit of St. Francis.
It was there that St. Francis started the order; it was there that he received the vows of St. Clare; it was there that he called together the Chapter of Mats that would bring together all the Friars; it was there that he died.
The Friars have constructed the Basilica of St. Mary of the Angels on top of it to protect it.
The Basilica from a distance
Here you can see the Portiuncula inside the larger basilica
One very interesting fact related to the Portiuncula is that here in the archdiocese we have a replica of it in Hanover. It was constructed by Cardinal Cushing and, in fact, that is where he is buried.
The dedication by Cardinal Cushing
The Portiuncula in Hanover as it looks today
St. Francis was very instrumental in obtaining a special indulgence for the Feast of the Portiuncula because he said many people would like to go on pilgrimage to the Holy Land but, particularly at that time, most Catholics would never have that opportunity. So, he wanted them to be able to visit the Portiuncula and receive the same plenary indulgence they would receive if they had visited the Holy Land. Pope Honorius III granted his request in the year 1216 and the feast became known as the "Perdono d' Assisi", the Pardon of Assisi.
That indulgence was later extended to include a visit to any Franciscan church or chapel, and today the indulgence may be also obtained through a visit to any other parish church or cathedral on that day.
As a child, I would always visit the Poor Clares on the Feast of the Portiuncula with my grandparents. It was a yearly event in our lives to observe the Feast of the Portiuncula. I know many people in our archdiocese will have visited the Poor Clares, or the Arch Street Shrine in Boston on this special feast. If you weren't able to be one of them, I invite you to mark your calendar for next year. It is always a gift to be able to take advantage of this special moment of grace.
Until next week,
Cardinal Seán

Conservative Party president's 7-year-old daughter hit by minivan, killed
TORONTO — Condolences are coming in for Conservative Party president John Walsh, after his daughter was struck by a minivan in Toronto and killed.
The family released a statement saying seven-year-old Georgia Walsh died in an accident Wednesday.
Police say the girl was in an east-end intersection when she was hit by a minivan, leaving her with fatal injuries.
Police say a 50-year-old man was driving the minivan southbound and was making a right turn at the intersection when the girl was hit.
The Walsh family says in its statement that John, Jillian and their kids Duncan, Liam and Finn are asking for privacy as they "come to terms with this incredible loss."
Fellow Conservatives have posted messages of condolences to the family on social media.

- The Eloquent Woman Index now includes 73 famous speeches by women, from historic speeches to the speeches of today. With only a couple of exceptions, most of the list doesn't repeat speakers, so the index represents a diverse range of women. So much for all the people who say they can't find speeches by women.
- The Pinterest board titled "The Eloquent Woman" has a new Famous Speech Friday post added each week as they are published. All you need to do is click through the photo or video to get to the post.
- Another Pinterest board, "Great quotes by eloquent women," shares quotes from our Famous Speech Friday posts. I hope you'll follow both boards on Pinterest and share our posts there.
I'm always interested in your suggestions for new additions to our Famous Speech Friday posts. It helps to keep in mind that we are looking for speeches that are famous--defined in various ways--but that the speakers themselves don't need to be famous. (In many cases, it's the speech that winds up making them famous for the first time.) We look for speeches from corporate executives, government leaders, nonprofit executives, university professors, scientists, engineers, attorneys and more--but also from individuals who might never have given a speech before. I'm equally interested in speakers from the pages of history as I am current-day speakers, and we are aiming for a highly diverse mix of viewpoints, ethnic backgrounds, professions, geographic locations and topics. Every Famous Speech Friday aims to focus on not just a famous speech, but one that addresses women's issues in whole or in part, so that we can not just learn from speakers who are women but think about the issues women face.
We'll resume the series next Friday. In the meantime, please share in the comments your ideas for speakers or speeches you'd like to see, and thanks for reading!

Hey, no problem on the late reply. Have been busy at work too. I was going to go to Towers Park in South Arlington off Columbia Park to hit after work (they have 2 practice walls), they just resurfaced their courts and it usually isn't busy like Quincy is. If you want to meet me there that would be great. I'm going to try to leave work at 7 and get there by 7:20.

text: Health Information Jon Drummond: Golden in the Face of Adversity by Rick AlanEn Español (Spanish Version) Jon Drummond is a rather unique figure in the world of track and field. A minister often invited to preach at churches around the country, Jon gave his first sermon at the very young age of two. For the past eight years, Jon has been one of the top performing US sprinters, regularly earning a Top 10 ranking as one of this country's best in the 100-meter dash. He's been lead-off runner for the US 4 x 100-meter relay teams that tied a world record and won the gold medal at the 1993 World Championships, won the silver medal in the 1996 Olympic Games, and won the gold medal again in the 1999 World Championships. What makes Jon's achievements all the more remarkable is the fact that he was born with spina bifida (failure of a fetus's spine to close properly). At birth, his parents were told that he would be intellectually disabled and would never walk. Despite this initial diagnosis—and the fact that Drummond has had three bouts with spinal meningitis (an infection of the membranes around the brain and spinal cord) since 1986—he continues to be a dominant force in track and field.Jon Drummond talks about his track and field career and his feelings about how people can best cope with potentially difficult medical conditions.My neighbor was the block captain. He saw me running up and down the street and asked me if I wanted to race in a meet. I said yes, and the rest is history.Being a part of the world record 4 x 100-meter relay team. But, I must add that making the US Olympic team for the second time is also right up there.I usually compete in the 100-meter and 200-meter dashes. In the Olympics, I'll be competing in the 100-meter and the 4 x 100-meter relay team.No, except that I started my training season earlier due to the short season I had last year as a result of meningitis.It started in 1991 at the World University games. I would make fun of my competitors at the starting line. I would also talk to the fans as if I wasn't in the race. When I won the 200 meters, I realized my shorts had split from front to back, so I turned around to the crowd and showed them the tear. Basically, I bared my butt!The name really stuck in 1993, when I ran with a comb in my hair. It was completely an accident. When the race was over and we did the post-race interview, the interviewer asked me if the comb was some sort of aerodynamic contraption. I was embarrassed, but I ran with it and replied that Jerry Lewis was the Clown Prince of Comedy, the Globetrotters were the Clown Princes of basketball, and I was the Clown Prince of Track.I was born with spina bifida, a hole in the base of my spine. They told my mother I wouldn't be able to walk and that I might even be intellectually disabled. When I was a child, my mother was a little apprehensive about rough activities. But over the years she learned to live with the fact that I was a very hyper child who had no intentions of slowing down. She also prayed a lot!Inasmuch as people say that miracles don't happen, I'm a walking miracle. God has blessed me. Now, I love the excitement of being one of the best in the world and no one can take that from me.I have been extremely fortunate in that my spina bifida is a mild form, so that I require no medications or special training regimens. I train as any athlete would for a high-intensity, high-visibility race.I would try to encourage everyone to trust God and believe in yourself. Don't give up on your dreams or desires. There is no explanation for what or why things happen the way they do, but there is a divine plan and we must have faith to know that all things work together for our own good. There is always someone worse off than you, and your life may be an encouragement for those who seem to have it better than you. So enjoy life to the fullest, regardless of your present circumstances.Interviews were conducted in the past and may not reflect current standards and practices in medicine. Talk to your doctor to learn more about how this condition is diagnosed and managed today and what treatment approaches are right for you.RESOURCES:NBC Olympics Web Sitehttp://www.nbcolympics.com Spina bifida.

The only thing was that her arrival meant that a lot of the other things on the list will just have to be done when I am 41...(including write a blog!) Have a very happy Birthday and what a truly fabulous list! Enjoy it!ReplyDelete
Great list emma, thanks for posting our Morris Minor link. We'll do you a special deal when you're ready to hire it.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing your list, number 37 is especially exciting!ReplyDelete
I'm the same as you, I LOVE writing lists :)
Woohoo! Congratulations! Hope the sicky stuff goes soon, that sucks!ReplyDelete

| 16.8°C Dublin
The Duke of Cambridge is a karaoke king with "star quality", American pop star Taylor Swift said in an interview.
William shared a microphone with country singer Swift, 24, as the pair joined Jon Bon Jovi on stage for a rendition of Livin' On A Prayer at a charity function last year.
Footage of the unlikely collaboration at Kensington Palace went viral after the duo were beckoned on stage to belt out the rock classic.
Swift, who has enjoyed UK chart success with We Are Never Getting Back Together, said the royal possessed surprising vocal qualities.
She told the Mail on Sunday's Event magazine: "Both of us were more screaming than singing.
"But even through all that I could hear his voice and it is pretty good. A nice tone.
"I'd definitely say he's got star quality, and if he ever wants me to sing with him again, I'll be there."
The Stateside singer, previously romantically linked with pop stars including One Direction's Harry Styles, described how William was initially reluctant to join the veteran rocker on stage.
She said the frontman jokingly enlisted the audience to "put pressure" on the royal to sing.
Swift, who is in England to play several dates at London's O2 Arena, said: "Prince William looked at me and said, 'I'll do it if you do it too', and then he took my hand.
"I was surprised and flattered and it felt surreal and completely natural at the same time.
"We jumped on the stage and started to sing and then we were really yelling.
"I still can't believe I've sung with Prince William."

Conservation and Environment in Costa Rica: Monthly Updates
Conservation in Costa Rica Monthly Update September-October 2013
Scarlet Macaw (Ara macao) Project
This bird is one of our "flag species" in the park, and having saved a young baby last year, we are ready to start the project again.
We have started observing two macaw nests in a hope to investigate their behaviour and the success of their breeding. Our efforts were made more difficult by natural factors, such as an angry bee nest. However in the first of the two nests we discovered a successful hatching and a young chick. In the second nest the adults appeared not to lay any eggs, but they continued to sleep at the site. Our job now is to monitor the birds and the nests to ascertain as much information on their behaviour as possible.
Bird Survey
Finally, we have the permission from the government to start with the bird census and we are going to start this project in November. We aim to survey all the species of birds inside of Barra Honda National Park. We hope to expand our research to surrounding areas and in both cases we are going to spend all the day in the forest, using a recognized methodology for this survey.
Waste Management Project-Ecological Blue Flag Award
This month the staff members and volunteers of Costa Rica Dry Forest Conservation Project became involved in the creation of a new feature for the Barra Honda National Park. We were presented with an Ecological Blue Flag Award. This means that everybody in this National Park will have the opportunity to live eco-friendly and be part of active conservation efforts.
These awards are not handed out lightly and one of the reasons for our recognition has been our ongoing work with "bio-gardens". We have started to build these bio-gardens, which will be used to clean the gray waste water product of our bio-digester (composter). These bio-gardens are like filters made from rocks, synthetic geo-membranes and Heliconias (banana-like plants). The waste water from the bio-digester is high in nutrients and will be kept in several elongated impermeable pits full of rock where the Heliconia roots, clinging to the rocks, absorb all these nutrients. The result will be clean water!
Recycling Project
In the park we created a new recycling system with colour codes. Everybody is now starting to use them and we have three types: blue-recyclable, green-organic and red-non-recyclable. We have bought twelve containers and they are located in all the rooms, buildings, kitchen and touristic areas in the National Park. The recyclable materials are separated by type in the new waste management area; the non-recyclable materials are taken in a municipal landfill. The organic waste is divided between food for the local farmers' pigs and compost.
Environmental Education Project
Five months ago we started an environmental education project in three local schools, and this month we finish with the project there and will begin again in other locations. The Ecological Blue Flag scheme also rewards educational establishments and our aim is to get as many local schools recognized for their efforts. Such projects can include bio-gardens, recycling, nursery gardens and compost sites.
Biological Corridors
It is important when performing scientific research and raising environmental awareness in communities that people join together in their efforts and thus I am proud to report that Barra Honda is now part of a large Biological Corridor in the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica.
I look forward to bringing you more news next time...
Anthony Ruiz
Conservation Manager, Costa Rica

When it comes to admissibility, all prior testimony is not created equal. In Texas, different rules apply, depending on how it is offered and under what circumstances the testimony was originally given.
Although it is important to understand how prior testimony may be used generally, the rules regarding its admissibility become particularly important when a case is re-tried after remand or order of new trial, or if an attorney wants to offer testimony at trial that was previously given at a pre-trial evidentiary hearing. Before an attorney decides to rely on prior testimony in lieu of calling live witnesses, several questions must be asked.
What type of testimony is it? There are three types of prior testimony: (1) affidavits, (2) depositions, and (3) prior testimony at hearing or trial.
Affidavits. Affidavits are generally inadmissible at trial to prove the matter asserted therein unless they fall under a hearsay exception in the rules or statutes (such as §18.001 affidavits). However, even when an affidavit doesn't fall within a hearsay exception, it will still be given full probative value if it is admitted into evidence without objection. (This rule is not limited to affidavit testimony, and applies to all hearsay which is admitted into evidence without objection.) For that reason, it can't hurt to at least make the offer. And certainly the parties could stipulate to the admissibility of affidavit testimony in order to streamline the presentation of evidence at trial (or for any other reason). Furthermore, certain portions of an affidavit could possibly be admissible under rules regarding admissions and statements against interest.
Depositions. For deposition testimony, the attorney may need to ask additional questions: Was the deposition given in the same case or a different case? Is the witness a party?
Was the deposition testimony given in the same or a different proceeding? Rule 801(c)(3) of the Texas Rules of Evidence clearly provides that a deposition taken in the same proceeding in which it is offered is not considered hearsay. Therefore, assuming a deposition is not subject to exclusion under some other rule (e.g., a discovery rule), a deposition taken in the same proceeding is admissible into evidence. The substance of the deposition testimony, like any other evidence, however, must also meet the requirements for admissibility under all other evidentiary rules as well.
If the deposition testimony was taken in a different case, then its admissibility hinges upon the question of whether the witness is a party.
Is the witness a party? If the deposition witness is a party, then testimony given in a different case may be admissible under TRE 801(e)(2), which defines statements by party opponents as "non-hearsay." To be admissible under 801(e)(2), the statement need not be against interest, but it must be made by a party opponent. (A party's own deposition testimony in a different proceeding may not be admitted into evidence unless it is admissible under some other rule.)
If the witness is a non-party, then deposition testimony taken in a different proceeding will be admissible only if the deponent is unavailable to testify. The requirement for "unavailability" is a hurdle for admissibility in some circumstances, but it is not always insurmountable. First of all, the definition of "unavailable" includes more than death, illness or disappearance. For example, a witness's purported "lack of memory" as to a particular matter is sufficient to deem that witness "unavailable" under TRE 804(b)(1), rendering prior deposition testimony on that particular point which was given in another proceeding admissible. Other situations which will confer "unavailable" status to a witness include: the claiming of a privilege, refusal to testify (after being ordered to do so by the trial court) and mental infirmity.
Prior Testimony. Finally, for prior testimony given in the same or other proceedings, the first thing that needs to be ascertained is whether the witness is a party or a non-party? If the prior testimony comes from a party, then the analysis further examines whether the prior testimony offered was elicited from a party opponent or the party who is offering the testimony into evidence.
A party opponent's prior testimony will be treated the same as if it were a party opponent's deposition in a different proceeding. Because TRE 801(e)(2) defines statements by party opponents as "non-hearsay," the hearsay bar would not preclude its admissibility. However, a party's own prior testimony is generally inadmissible. In order for it to come into evidence, the testimony would have to be admissible under some other rule, e.g., as a prior consistent statement offered to rebut a charge of recent fabrication, under TRE 801(e)(b).
Prior testimony of a non-party is no different than a non-party's deposition testimony from a different proceeding. Before prior testimony of a non-party will be admissible, whether same or different proceeding, the proponent must show that the non-party witness is "unavailable" within the meaning of TRE 804(b)(1) and discussed above.
Even if none of the rules or principles above provide an avenue for admissibility of the prior testimony you want to offer, don't give up. Even if the prior testimony is not generally admissible, certain specific portions of the testimony may still be admissible under other theories. For example, if it's a statement against interest, it may be admissible as an exception to the hearsay bar, whether made by affidavit, deposition or testimony, by a party or a non-party, in the same or different proceeding. So keep trying.
The Rolling Stones said it best: "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find you get what you need."

Ten days ago on IKN:
"If your chosen analyst, broker or fund manager can't recognize the start of a bull market when it's placed right before their very eyes, underlined, highlighted and lit up in bright neon letters (or simply refuses to tell you because you're an unimportant retailer and they need to place the big money first) then you need to stop listening to the dumbass and find somebody who'll make you money. The time for caution has passed."
Ten day chart of GLD, GDX. GDXJ:
The El Salvador Presidential election mess explained by Tim Muth
The re-emergence of "Gold's in a bubble": Please stop the stupid
Today's plain facts include:
- GLD holdings started 2013 at over 1,350 metric tonnes.
- They bottomed out on January 14th at 789.56mt
- They've recovered to 813.3mt since then, which isn't a bad move and the clear change of a trend (the 24 tonnes difference is roughly a billion dollars worth of gold at a U$1,300/oz average, to give you some idea). But a bubble forming? Please, give us all a break.
Chart of the day is...
...the gold/silver ratio, 12 months:
And as usual, the selective amnesia of technical analysts has kicked in. If you want a bit of boredom in your day, ask any of the specialists who told you silver would fly once gold broke U$1,360/oz what went wrong. They'll answer with a whole bunch of terms, but "i was wrong" won't figure in their answer.
Anyway, today's chart comes with a sound effect: That muffled thudding sound you hear in the background is caused by silverbugs, all a-stomping of their feet and muttering that it isn't jolly well fair.

People, the sooner you realize that we're at the start of a bull market for gold stocks, and the sooner you stop listening to the market experts who are snaffling up the best prices while telling the greenhorns to be cautious (they'll get you in later when they're fully positioned), the better it will be for your back pocket. Or as stated to subbers this weekend (end of intro section piece):
"So yes, of course there's still a lot of nerves about and people telling you to be cautious; thing is that's what happens at the beginning of a bull market. In fact it can't possibly be any other way, because a fully confident sector would have already pushed stocks and valuations higher and be in the mature phase of the cycle.
"In the end, to follow and be interested in this most volatile of market sectors you have to be a speculator at heart, it's necessary to take risks. For well over a year it's been tough going for juniors and a lot of share prices have been crushed. As a result, it's been a heads-down, no-peeking-over-parapets markets for a long time and in my personal case, no commitment of larger cash (while keeping interest via the shorting of some stocks and some smaller, nearer-term trading ideas in punctual situations). That time is now past at The IKN Weekly, it's time to get bullish and longer, take more risk on board and hold for longer periods. Big gains await those who can see out the first rougher periods of a bull market, that's where we are today."
PS: Now on the road for a couple of days. Posting light til Friday.
Chart of the day is...

El Salvador's Presidential election 2nd round vote: Trouble brewing
Today has seen El Salvador's 2nd round run-off election between the governing FMLN party and opposition ARENA. Everyone expected FMLN to win fairly easilt, but that's not the case, as right now with
1.2% 0.96% of the votes left to be tallied, FMLN has 50.08% 50.07% and ARENA 49.92% 49.93%. That's less than 4,500 4,400 votes to decide who gets to be President and close = problems.
(note: those strikeouts are the updated figures and give you an idea of how darned close this one is)
That's because the right wing ARENA candidate Norman Quijano has just denounced voter fraud, declared himself the winner and has called on the armed forces to intervene. This is not good.

This post shares the video from the talk presented in November 2013 by Alec Stephenson providing an introduction to R shiny at Melbourne R Users.
R Shiny, from the people behind R Studio, allows you to quickly and easily build basic web applications using only the R language. I will be demonstrating the basics of web app creation, and will show you a number of examples for purposes such as data visualization and student learning. The talk will require only rudimentary knowledge of R. After the talk (45mins) you are welcome to join me at the Colonial Hotel for dinner.
Alec Stephenson is a CSIRO scientist and a former academic at The National University of Singapore and Swinburne University. It is his third talk for the MelbURN group, following previous talks on spatial data (Sept 2011) and speeding up your R code (Sept 2012). He has been writing R software since the days when there were only a hundred or so R packages. He still dislikes the

Updated 4:10 p.m. -- The National Rifle Association on Thursday said it was 'disappointed' with the results of a meeting with the gun violence prevention task force led by Vice President Joe Biden.
"We were disappointed with how little this meeting had to do with keeping our children safe and how much it had to do with an agenda to attack the Second Amendment," the NRA wrote in a statement after a closed-door meeting with administration officials and other gun groups. "While claiming that no policy proposals would be 'prejudged,' this Task Force spent most of its time on proposed restrictions on lawful firearms owners - honest, taxpaying, hardworking Americans."
Biden is expected to offer the task force's recommendations to the president by Tuesday.
The NRA claims its membership has grown by 100,000 since the Newtown shooting and views the gun violence prevention task force led by Vice President Biden as having an agenda to attack the Second Amendment. NBC's Kristen Welker reports.
The vice president, charged to lead a series of gun reform meetings in the wake of the Newtown school shooting, said earlier on Thursday that other stakeholder groups have expressed "surprising" support for universal background checks, as well as some restrictions on high-capacity magazines.
"There is a surprising -- so far -- recurrence of suggestions that we have universal background checks, not just [to] close the gun show loophole, but total, universal background checks, including private sales," Biden said.
But those comments came before Biden's meeting with the country's most powerful gun lobby and vocal foe of restrictions on gun ownership.
"We will not allow law-abiding gun owners to be blamed for the acts of criminals and madmen," the NRA wrote afterwards. "Instead, we will now take our commitment and meaningful contributions to members of Congress of both parties who are interested in having an honest conversation about what works - and what does not."
National Rifle Association head Wayne LaPierre caused controversy after the Newton killings for saying that the only way to prevent such events is the presence of armed security officers at every school.
"The only way to stop a monster from killing our kids is to be personally involved and invested in a plan of absolute protection," he said. "The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun."
The outdoor enthusiasts who met earlier Thursday with the vice president included members of the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies, Ducks Unlimited, and the Outdoor Industry Association; the entertainment industry participants, slated for a 6 p.m. ET meeting, include representatives from the Motion Picture Association of America, Comcast, and the Directors Guild.
Megastore Wal-Mart will also participated in a Thursday meeting with Attorney General Eric Holder this afternoon, along with other retailers like Bass Pro Shops and Dick's Sporting Goods. Wal-Mart agreed to send a representative to the session after public criticism of the store's initial 'no' RSVP to the White House invitation.
Biden raised some conservatives' eyebrows yesterday when he said that the administration is considering possible executive action in addition to legislative solutions.
"The president is going to act," he said during a session with gun control groups Wednesday. "There are executive orders, executive action that can be taken."
White House spokesman Jay Carney said later Wednesday that no decisions have been made about avenues for implementation of possible reforms.
Vice President Joe Biden talks about the issues that were brought up during his gun violence meetings saying that among the groups he spoke with, "There is a surprising — so far — recurrence of suggestions that we have universal background checks."

25th Anniversary of "ERNIE" Debut ( now "THE PIRANHA CLUB")
Not many atomic physicists give up the esoteric mysteries of neutron scattering to become cartoonists. But that's exactly what PIRANHA CLUB/ERNIE creator Bud Grace did. Grace, who has a doctorate in physics from Florida State University, became a successful cartoonist and book author against tremendous odds. In 1979, Bud, with no previous experience, decided to draw. He worked as a freelance cartoonist and sold his work to major magazines before... Read More

Study web design in London at the University of Greenwich
The MA Web Design & Content Planning programme takes graduates from many disciplines and provides them with the hands-on skills necessary to plan, design, build and promote an effective website in relation to the needs of a business, profession, government office or organisation. The programme is also suitable for those who are considering a future in freelance web design. Applicants should have an interest in design and a working familiarity with the software employed in a modern office environment.
There are many web design courses in London but we are the only institution currently offering a post-graduate MA in this fast-evolving subject. See Programme details for more information.
Learning web design
The design of excellent websites presents a notable intellectual challenge and, during the programme, students develop a modern, professional and 'real-world' approach. Our objective is to provide a balanced education in the three main aspects of web design and content management: technical, functional and aesthetic. In addition, students will learn how to manage and promote websites and how to generate revenue from them. See Our philosophy for more information.
The technical aspects of the programme provide an understanding of the wide range of tools, technologies and principles used for the design and development of contemporary websites. This includes the creation of semantically correct markup, the separation of presentation from content (HTML and CSS) and compliance with web standards (W3C).
The functional aspects focus on the creation of websites with good information architecture that are accessible, useable and findable as a result of effective search engine marketing and optimisation (SEM/SEO). Students learn how people use the web, how they navigate web content and how they search for information.
The aesthetic aspects of web design are considered in relation to graphic, artistic, typographic and business objectives, including corporate identity and branding. The architectural principle that form should follow function is relevant, not as a rule but because aesthetic considerations must be judged with regard to the technical and functional aspects of a website.
Student competence in these three aspects of web design is demonstrated by their delivery of a fully-functioning website for their Major Project at the end of the programme. See Core courses for more information.
We believe our programme is unique in offering a balanced blend of the technical, functional and aesthetic aspects of web design and we are the only university in London offering such a focused programme at masters level.
Flexible teaching mode
The timetable is designed to make it easy for those in full-time employment to attend the programme and students have the option of a full-time (one day per week) or part-time (one half day per week) mode of study. Although contact time is relatively short, students should be aware that there will be a substantial amount of course work, project work and reading to be completed in their own time. See Preparing for study for more information.
Typically, our students fall into three groups: those with web-related skills (often self-taught) who need a structured and balanced approach to further study; those who are involved with the web and need new skills to develop their present careers; those who have decided on a career change and see web design and content management as a new opportunity. See Our students for more information.

If after reading through this website, you still have some questions about the MA Web Design & Content Planning programme, please get in touch using our contact form and we'll do our best to answer your questions.

Michael Wilkinson
Dean of Scarborough College
Associate Professor of Theology
Mike Wilkinson serves as Dean of Scarborough College and Assistant Professor of Bible, where he teaches a little bit of everything, but mostly in the areas of theology and church history. Though he loves all aspects of systematic and historical theology, Dr. Wilkinson's primary interests include the doctrines of Scripture, the Atonement, and Ecclesiology. For Church History, his main interests are the Reformation, particularly early sixteenth century Anabaptism, and Baptist History. Dr. Wilkinson's dissertation, A Necessary Smelting: Leonhard Schiemer's Theology of Suffering, addresses the significant contribution of Leonhard Schiemer, an early sixteenth century Austrian Anabaptist leader martyred for his faith. Dr. Wilkinson's paper "Suffering the Cross," an essay on Leonhard Schiemer's theology of suffering, will be included in the upcoming The Anabaptists and Contemporary Baptists, the Festschrift for Dr. Paige Patterson. Dr. Wilkinson's current research interest centers on the importance of the sufficiency of Scripture as the foundation, content, and pattern for effective local church ministry. Also of research interest is the examination of early Anabaptism's use and understanding of the written Word of God.
Prior to coming to Southwestern to teach, Dr. Wilkinson invested 22 years serving on the staff of three great churches—Geyer Springs First Baptist in Little Rock, AR, Central Baptist in Bryan/College Station, TX, and First Baptist in Rockwall, TX. For seventeen of these years he served as a Single Adult Pastor, where he learned the meaning of Scripture's sufficiency in ministering to some very challenging circumstances. For most of these years Dr. Wilkinson also doubled as a Missions Pastor. In addition, he has a bachelor's degree in Mathematics and loves baseball, keeping a glove in his office for anyone who needs to toss a ball around.

I am using Jdbctemplate to retrieve a single String value from the db. Here is my method.
public String test() {
String cert=null;
String sql = "select ID_NMB_SRZ from codb_owner.TR_LTM_SLS_RTN
where id_str_rt = '999' and ID_NMB_SRZ = '60230009999999'";
cert = (String) jdbc.queryForObject(sql, String.class);
return cert;
In my scenario it is complete possible to NOT get a hit on my query so my question is how do I get around the following error message.
EmptyResultDataAccessException: Incorrect result size: expected 1, actual 0
It would seem to me that I should just get back a null instead of throwing an exception. How can I fix this? Thanks in advance.


text: The Beast I Drive 32 Posted May 15, 2010 (edited) Here's a cheap and super easy mod I did to my 87 GL. Stock, the windshield washer tank is in the passenger front fender, right behind the turn signal. This is fine for most everyone, but with large tires sometimes they will rub on this container, and (as I have discovered) the fluid can freeze in the winter if you don't use anti-freezing wiper fluid. My solution to get it out of harm's way was to install a wiper fluid container from an EA81 bodystyle car (80-84 Wagon, Sedan, Coupe, 80-89 Hatchback, 82-87 Brat) which mounts to the passenger side inner fender. This way, it can't be punctured by anything off-road, and my Windex (streak free shine FTW) won't freeze next time I drive over the pass in the dead of winter. What you will need: -Wiper fluid container from an EA81 body car -The bracket it mounts to and the 2 bolts -about 10" of red and black small guage (12 or 14) wire Here's the best part: The mounting holes with weld nuts are already there on the passenger side strut tower, like it was made for it! You simply bolt the bracket to the strut tower, slip the container onto the bracker, hook up the wiper squirter hose, and extend the 2 wires to the fluid pump. Then remove the old container and toss it! Here's the bracket mounted to the existing mounting points on the passenger side strut tower: And here's the tank mounted. Note the extension harness I made to go from the stock EA82 wiring to the EA81 washer fluid pump, it's about 10" long. This mod will work on stock or lifted rigs, EJ swaps, EA81 swaps, power steering, and you can still keep the spare under the hood if you want. -Bill Edited May 15, 2010 by The Beast I Drive Pics 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
