Devin Lynn - Powell, WY
Devin is one of those students who is involved in nearly every activity on campus including editor-in-chief of the Jacket Journal, coordinator of civic engagement, tutor for Student Support Services, and Vice President of Phi Kappa Phi. He presented at the National Conference for Undergraduate Research. Devin was selected to attend the Clinton Global Initiative Conference in Washington, DC this past year. This is a highly competitive process which involves students submitting proposals that will make a difference. Devin's project for the initiative is to develop a web based platform for entrepreneurs in Uganda. He was recently featured in BIZ Now for his work. However, rather than focus on himself in the article, he recognized the number of students at BHSU who assisted him in the project. Read the latest on Devin and his entrepreneurial project in Uganda.
Markus Heinrich - Whitewood, and Kalani Corpuz - Rapid City

Lauren Lund - Hot Springs
Lauren Lund along with 9 psychology students and their advisor, Dr. Boeschen, will conduct research at the Special Olympics World Games in South Korea. While in South Korea, they will attend the first Global Development Summit on Ending the Cycle of Poverty and Exclusion for People with Intellectual Disabilities. Lauren stated, "I believe this research shows that great things can come out of small places and out of those small places are individuals who can be shaped into strong, confident men and women who will soon be put into the world and be able to apply their broadened perspectives to every aspect of their lives." The University is providing limited funding for the students since it would take nearly our entire travel budget to send them to South Korea. The students have raised funds throughout the year to cover their costs. Check out these links: "BHSU Psychology Research Team Travels to South Korea" and their Special Olympics World Games Blog.

The scene is a devastated Japan, August 1945, as "Emperor," the new historical drama starring Matthew Fox and Tommy Lee Jones, begins. Hiroshima and Nagasaki are little more than smoking rubble and stone-faced survivors. Emperor Hirohito has officially surrendered but remains protected behind palace walls.
Into the morass strides World War II hero Gen. Douglas MacArthur (Jones). He has exactly 10 days to decide whether to put the emperor on trial for war crimes and a cultural expert in Gen. Bonner Fellers (Fox) at his side to run the assessment.
Japan's postwar future and MacArthur's dreams of the presidency hang in the balance, while power plays on both sides threaten. Storm clouds loom, tense times.
PHOTOS: Hollywood backlot moments
If we can trust history, MacArthur made the right call — Hirohito was exonerated and a reconstructed Japan became an international powerhouse. Regrettably, "Emperor" does not match MacArthur's vigor, or mine his legacy. Instead, the movie is Fellers' tale and dryly told.
I'd be tempted to say director Peter Webber's film feels rather like typical History channel cannon fodder if not for the cable mainstay's smashing success last year with "Hatfields & McCoys." Yet for any number of reasons, the movie does play ever so small, failing to command that larger-than-life screen on which it sits so uncomfortably.
The first of the film's missteps is that Fox, charismatic for so many years on "Lost," is turned into a tin soldier unable to carry the weight of the entire film. At his makeshift Tokyo office, Fellers is just so much saluting and "Yes, sir-ing." The scholar/military man only comes to life when he's slipping off to search for his lost love. Did I mention "Emperor" is also a love story?
This is slip-up number two. The filmmakers chose to amp up historical fact with fanciful romantic fiction, as if the reality of the times weren't enough. It's not necessarily a fatal choice, but there is a reason a movie like "Casablanca" is considered a classic — its heady blend of war, love and the greater good hitting all the right notes. In "Emperor," the disparate pieces never quite fit.
The love story, however, is when the movie is most compelling. Aya Shimada (Eriko Hatsune) is the Japanese schoolteacher the future general fell for in college and followed back to Japan, only to be separated as the country took Germany's side. Now he's desperate to find out whether she's survived. As forced as that might sound, Fox finally relaxes around the spirited Hatsune as they pretty up the gauzy flashbacks juxtaposed with post-war wreckage, all captured by director of photography Stuart Dryburgh.
Webber, who did such an effective job of holding things together for 2003's "Girl With a Pearl Earring," another quasi-historical drama-romance, seems completely out of sync with "Emperor." The war crimes and romance stories theoretically run on parallel tracks, but the overall pacing is ragged and the dialogue frequently out of step with the characters we've met.
Which brings us to the crux of the problem — the screenplay. Apparently it was a tag-team effort starting with David Klass ("Desperate Measures"), then later picked up by Vera Blasi ("Woman on Top").
The war crimes investigation gets underway like a "CSI" procedural as Fellers tacks up photos of key Japanese military and political operatives. A series of the higher-ups are marched in and politely interviewed to help Fellers determine whether Hirohito (Takataro Kataoka) was merely a figurehead rather than a war monger. In particular, MacArthur wants to know whether Hirohito ordered the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Since the movie also hopes to do justice to the essential spirit of Japan, it must take Fellers out into the field. A local dive bar becomes the most frequent bridge between his paperwork and his memories of, or search for, Aya, who in turn represents the film's cultural connection. It can be a bit clumsy at times, but it gets us there.
Back at headquarters Jones, whose recent turn in "Lincoln" earned him an Oscar nomination, is unexpectedly charming as MacArthur. The actor milks the general's favorite stance — chest out, hands gripping his waist, elbows askew, wide grin, photographers snapping away. The moments are short-lived though, the general only a fringe player — but then so is any real sense of history.
MPAA rating: PG-13 for violent content, brief strong language and smoking
Running time: 1 hour, 46 minutes; English, Japanese with English subtitles

HireFriday: it's about community.
This week on Hire Friday chat ( #HFChat ) we have our own local Emerald Coast expert Marie Journey who will be hosting the topic "Hire a Hero, relocation, military vets in the job market"
Marie is a Recruitment Expert and Advocate for Hiring Military Veterans, and will be discussing relocation and how to minimize the disruption to your life.
Since last year's signing of the Veterans Oppotunity to Work to Hire Heroes Act by President Obama, there has been a strong movement to help get military veterans back into the workforce. This law provides tax credits for emplyers who hire unemplyed verterans and veterans with service-connected disabilites. Partnering with the Chamber of Commerce as well as the private sector, this movement is making it easier to connect our veterans with the companies that want to hire them.
With people like Margo Rose, the Founder and CEO of the HireFriday Community & Movement, many veterans are being connected with jobs all across the country. "Rose blends social media strategy, and human resources to strengthen job seeker, employee, and employer, and business brands. Margo realized that the strength of HireFriday is in its community. HireFriday increases your findability factor by making you rise to the top of google, bing, and all search engines. HireFriday optimizes your presence on internet platforms (SEO) on the open web. HireFriday blends the human resources and social media sphere with seamless continuity."
Marie Journey can be reached at www.weselectthebest.com/military Everyone should #Follow Marie on Twitter! http://twitter.com/marie4CSWG.
Marie is currently in the middle of her own relocation. With her new job at C&S Wholesale Grocers, she is relocating her family from Florida to corporate headquarters in New Hampshire. In the past she has moved both nationally and internationally for employment opportunities. As a recruiter, she has also walked hundreds of candidates through the process for making the most of making a move.
Marie's past includes working as both a corporate and agency recruiter. She has worked on behalf of such companies as Microsoft, SAP, Intuit, Dolby as well as providing agency support for clients such as Accenture, Cisco, Chase, and state government needs.
The present and future for Marie is located at C&S Wholesale Grocers. This company provides first-class warehousing and distribution services to some of the largest supermarket chains in the nation. In 2010 Forbes Magazine ranked it as the 10th largest privately held company in the nation with nearly $20 billion in revenue. Marie's role includes executive level recruiting, building talent pools, and being available to connect with those interested in working at an action oriented, high growth, and privately owned company.

Updated 05/23/2012 06:22 PM
By: Melissa Kakareka
Governor Cuomo is proposing a plan that would transform the way the state cares for people with special needs and disabilities. The bill has passed in the Senate, but it still needs to clear in the Assembly. As our Melissa Kakareka tells us, the state's Commissioner of Mental Health visited Broome County Wednesday to encourage New Yorkers to support the plan.
VESTAL, N.Y. -- Jan Harmon is the mother of two daughters with severe developmental disabilities and autism.
Five years ago, her girls were abused by a small group of staff members at the Broome Developmental Center.
"It came to light that they were pulling their hair and we were wondering why there was bald spots and bruised fingers and things of that nature, they had been given Tylenol PM to make them sleep," said Harmon.
The Harmon's story is not a unique one. Officials say there were more than ten thousand allegations of abuse against New Yorkers with special needs last year.
On Wednesday, the state's Commissioner of Mental Health visited Binghamton University to ask local advocates and caretakers to support Governor Cuomo's plan to change that.
"The governor has said that this fragmented system has failed to stop people with disabilities from abuse and neglect even in state agencies paid to do this work and enough is enough," said NYS Office of Mental Health Commissioner Michael Hogan.
The legislation would create a state agency called the Justice Center to investigate and prosecute reports of abuse and neglect and establish new standards of care.
"It creates a single point of accountability and follow up, as opposed to the multiple silos you might have right now in mental health and disabilities," said Hogan.
Those in support of the bill say accountability is a vital step in protecting vulnerable New Yorkers.
"What it means to me is say those two individuals who were fired, they are not going to be able to go back out and get a job in this field," said Harmon.
As they wait to find out whether or not the plan will pass in the Assembly.
Some opponents of the bill are worried the investigative process at a state agency won't be independent. They want to establish a compromise that would provide more outside review of cases.

Famous Nicaraguan Selection 1000 Torpedo Reviews [view details]
Give us YOUR review!Showing 1 through 10 of 10 reviews
This is my favorite mid-range cigar on the market today. Easy draw, consistent flavor and a very even burn. The occasional wrapper imperfection is to be expected, especially if they aren't given time to revitalize in your humidor, so let them rest after receiving and you will be pleasantly surprised.
Paul in Orange, Texas April 22, 2013
"Excellent Value"
Smooth, even burn. Mild to medium body. An all-around great cigar that is well worth the money!
Paul in Houston April 20, 2013
"One dimensional but good smoke for the price!"
Lightly packed torpedo with an easy draw. Burned well but flavor was one dimensional. For the money a good smoke considering what you pay for it. I would revisit this again if consistency is good.
Ron in Southern California September 8, 2011
"Good value"
These are pretty decent for the price. These also have a slightly sweetened tip. Good draw and consistency. If you are a daily smoker, these are good affordable smokes.
Bob in Tucson July 9, 2009
"glad i bought 'em!"
the sweetened tip is barely detectable on the bundle i got but this stick performs like a champ!nice flavor and aroma burned razor straight to the nub, hell ya i bought a second bundle!
figurado in vale March 27, 2009
"Good everyday smoke."
For less than a buck a stick how can you complain. It's a bit spicy but an okay smoke.
Victor in Chino August 21, 2008
"Not too shabby"
Not a bad everyday smoke. Mild to medium, with a sweet earthiness. For the price, I'd certainly recommend it.
Robert in Ypsilanti, MI November 1, 2007
"Not worth it"
These cigars are not good for a seasoned smoker. The taste is flat and very one dimensional. I know it's a bundle cigar and cheap but come on. Who are you guys trying to fool with these? Every cigar in the bundle is underfilled and they burn extremely hot. They also tunnel and burn out the side half an inch away from the foot. These are not worth the agravation. Sorry Famous!! This ones a LOSER!!
J.C. in WI June 11, 2007
"Should of bought more!"
For its price it's a very well constructed cigar, with a pleasing taste and smell. I most definitely will by more!
Michael Salvaggio in IL August 5, 2006
"Flor de Oliva"
Taste and burn is good.These must have been made by the Oliva family.Very good for working around the yard or fishing.I will buy these smokes again!!
Donald in Louisiana April 27, 2006

Federal enforcement of the voting rights of Southern blacks; federal funding of equal education for black children -- to become reality, these aspirations of Garfield's required support from courts, Congress and public opinion. None would have been forthcoming.
Garfield's aspirations were doomed to fail by forces of opposition too strong for him to overcome. Garfield's noble summons went unheeded at the time and therefore inspires little interest now.
An inaugural address is a plan for what is to come. Even a good president can deliver a bad speech. In fact, they usually do. But however beautifully written, a speech can only be made great by the presidency that follows. An inaugural address is a plan, and the test of a plan is the result.
A speech can fail all by itself. Its ideas can be weak, its language can be foggy. But even if the ideas are clear and the words crisp, an inaugural address can be deemed "great" only if it is followed by actions that make good on its lofty words. This is why we still remember the mighty words of Lincoln and FDR and why we forget almost all the others.

LARISSA is a National Science Foundation funded initiative that will bring an international, interdisciplinary team together to address a significant regional problem with global change implications, the abrupt environmental change in Antarctica's Larsen Ice Shelf System.
(Domack, Leventer, Brachfeld, Ishman, Wellner, Balco)
(Scambos, Pettit, Truffer, Thompson & Mosley-Thompson, Gordon, Huber)
Eugene Domack, the Joel W. Johnson Family Professor of Geosciences and Andrew Christ '11, part of the LARISSA science team, and their counterparts from the Korean Polar Research Institute (KOPRI) are conducting research on the Korean Icebreaker Research Vessel ARAON. Christ '11 is submitting photos and blog entries, read more on www.hamilton.edu/antarctica.
Writer Douglas Fox, who accompanied the scientists on the two-month expedition in 2010, has published two articles highlighting the research performed on the RV Nathaniel B. Palmer. The December 2012 article Polar research: Trouble bares its claws that appears in the journal Nature focuses on the resarch of the LARISSA marine ecosystem team. In a July 2012 Scientific American article, Fox described the researchers' efforts to determine how fast the continent is melting and what that might mean for sea-level rise.

I made this last night and we both LOVED it. Only change I made was added more Rajah (hot) curry powder since we like curry. (I heaped tsp. then added approx. 1/4 tsp. after that total). I used fresh ginger - grated.. all the flavors came together so nicely. Cilantro and cashews topped it off.. we will definately have this again and will be using for company!

That is the Conditional Operator. For example...

I think he's referring to non-capturing parentheses.
Looks like a homework question.

Tab-indentation is a crime against humanity.
I can confirm that it is a non-capturing sub-pattern.
See http://javascript.about.com/library/blre16.htm for more info.
Javascript supports most of the same regular expression options as PERL etc but there are a few that it doesn't support due to the way that it processes regular expressions.

That is a superfluous use of (?: ). You could accomplish the same thing by eliminating the grouping:
(?: ) is used when you need to apply a modifier to a group, but you don't want the parentheses you use to create a numbered group in your match. Look at the example in my previous post and note how the (?: ) groupings require a modifier in order to get the proper match.
wow I rarely use non-capturing in many cases, thanks for this tips
I just try this but couldn't figure out how can I escape a character in the non capturing pattern?
Code:"234234p".match(/\d+(?!.)/) => should not match, but it is // second try "234234.".match(/\d+(?!\.)/) => match 234234 // is that right?
Do you mean for the character after the question mark to be a colon ":" or the exclamation point "!"
...should not match, and it doesn't:"234234p".match(/\d+(?!.)/) => should not match, but it is
Code:if("234234p".match(/\d+(?!.)/) ) alert("yes") else alert("no") //output: no
\d+(?!.) is a non capturing with a sequence of digits without followed by a dot character. Well, I found out it was a typo, 7stud is right. it works well. Thanks

Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.
I am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)

The second gang raid in two weeks in the Capital Region has some looking backward at what we're doing wrong and others forward at what we can do to help. Our Erin Vannella reports.
ALBANY, N.Y. -- "I'm a firm believer in positive diversions deter negative behavior," said Albany Department of Recreation Senior Gang Prevention Specialis, Ron Barrett.
It's all we can do to help prevent this, the second Capital Region gang raid in a week,.
"It's tough because a lot of time, the gangs are replacing our families," said Barrett. "They're giving a sense of protection, of belonging to these kids. A lot of these kids really want to walk that line. They want to do good things, but we also have to give opportunities to these kids."
So the Department of Recreation offers dance and lacrosse, boxing and music recording, karate and acting. But being available isn't enough either.
"It's just getting the buy in," said Barrett. "Keeping it cool for the kids because a lot of these kids are worried about how other people are looking at them, how their peers perceive them."
For School Resource Officer Willie Hughes, peer pressure is best battled with confidence and programs, like the year-and-a-half old neighborhood engagement unit, is one way to make it grow.
"If you ask them individually, you'll see a lot of those kids don't really want to be involved in the gang-like activities," said Hughes. "But they want to be able to fit in, so they're not ostracized and that's a tough thing. So we give them alternatives."
They're similar tracks from two different departments with the same goal to help.
"Our slogan here is never give up and there's a reason for that," said Hughes. "They want the kids to recognize that."
"It's showing them role models and once they buy into a role model and get a mentor in their life, something to reach for, then the sky's the limit," said Barrett.

The current reigning queen of the universe. "Hey dude, do you know who makes the sun and the moon rise?"
"Yeah, it's Frances." |

Sexy, pretty, and often mischevious. Appears demure to those who don't know her well, Frances enjoys being naughty and makes those near to her want to kiss and lick every inch of her soft smooth skin. Funny and beautiful, many would never guess that she has a mouth like a trucker, and deviant sexual desires. "Frances makes me want to tear off her clothes so that i can take here right here on my desk"

If it is a girl named Frances, she will be the hottest babe you will ever meet, always smiling, really pretty, knows how to make you laugh, personality is incredible, full of surprises, very caring, always loyal, will basically be the coolest girl you meet. Rumor is she is awesome in bed and a huge flirt. Most guys will be way lucky to meet her but won't realize it until she is gone. Typically made fun of for her name but little does everyone know she has many secrets and is a total goddess. If it is a guy named Frances, you best respect this dude because he will most likely be your boss someday. Wow! you lucky a-hole you dated Frances?!
Frances is a keeper! I need to find myself a girl like Frances!! |
4. | Frances | ||
A wonderful girl; playful at heart; loves to be affectionate and lives to be loved, although rarely appreciated until it is too late. Not very thick skinned; emotional and wears her heart on her sleeve. However, as hard as nails when this link is broken and once link is broken it is never recaptured. Easily hurt, often by others taking her for granted. A truly precious soul. Fun to be with; a hot lover who will keep her man happy and fired up when she is not with him. Frequently, she will be a stunner who turns heads but doesn't know the power she has. This one's a keeper! Hey man, how was your weekend?
It was good but it would have been better if I'd seen Frances! |

After looking at dozens of photographs of dinner jackets last week for the San Francisco Ballet post, it occurs to me that many of the men would have benefited from a touch of red.
Boutonniere, pocket square, hose or in the pattern on a waistcoat, a touch of red (or purple, for that matter) adds just the right amount of color to otherwise unadorned black tie.
Monotony is less of a problem with white tie (not that many of us have much occasion to wear it) because a man can, and should, wear his medals with white tie. But black tie can be so, well, black.
So try a touch of red. But please, not the bowtie. That should never be colored.

Excellent post! I always wear a red or purple pocket square with my black tie attire. I think it adds just the right amount of color.
I agree with your opinion on colored ties. I cringe everytime I see wedding photos with rented formal wear and colored ties to match the girl's dresses. - February 12, 2008 at 2:32:00 PM PST

Would medals be appropriate in black tie as well? I am familiar with mess dress and dinner dress regulations but what guidelines would you recommend for medals with a dinner jacket if one went that route?

I, too, wear a purple pocket square with my DJ. Frank Sinatra advocated a touch of orange as that was his favourite colour. The red will go nicely with my new midnight blue dinner suit, though.

Christopher, I remember that it had been proposed that medals be permitted at Court in the UK with black tie but I don't recall what happened. Perhaps one of our English readers can tell us.
If nothing has changed, they are correct with white tie. - February 12, 2008 at 4:09:00 PM PST

As a USAF retiree, miniature decorations are worn with dinner jacket or black tie attached above the left pocket, according to order of precedence, pursuant to regulation. This is contrasted with mess dress or white tie, where miniatures are worn on the left lapel. Some other branches of service permit full size decorations.

Very nice photo, Will. I agree that red goes nicely here and seems to add something a little more than a white square would.

What really makes the illustrated red waistcoat effective is the fact that it is a classic low cut vest that barely peaks out above the closed dinner jacket. The high-buttoning waistcoats of today, on the other hand, display an excessive amount of colour when worn with 1-button jackets.
Ah, if only such garments were still available today . . . - February 13, 2008 at 9:37:00 AM PST

But they are available, even ready to wear, in both the U.S. and the U.K.

APSCUF's Executive Council adopts formal statement on weapons policy
Several universities in the State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) recently reviewed their weapons policies at the request of PASSHE's central office. Kutztown University opted to lift an existing weapons ban and permit weapons in open areas on campus. Because faculty members and the press raised questions about Kutztown's new policy, the PASSHE Board of Governors has asked that the other universities hold off on changing their weapons policies until a task force reviews the situation.
Senate Education Committee holds hearing on higher education accessibility and affordability
On Wednesday, May 15, the Senate Education Committee held a hearing on three bills that aim to expand access to affordable higher education for Pennsylvania students.
Senate Bill 78, sponsored by Senator Greenleaf (R-Bucks), expands state scholarship eligibility requirements for students regardless of the percentage of credit hours completed through online courses.
Senate Bill 420, sponsored by Senator Ward (R-Westmoreland), creates a debt relief program for middle-income students. The legislation would appropriate additional funds to PHEAA for a new student aid and debt reduction program for middle-income ($80,000-$110,000) students.
Senate Bill 713, the DREAM Act, sponsored by Senator Smucker (R-Lancaster), provides in-state tuition for undocumented students who graduated or received a GED from a Pennsylvania high school. Similar legislation has been passed in at least 12 other states.
APSCUF submitted written testimony to the committee on all three bills. More information about the hearing, including testimony from PASSHE and other presenters can be found on the committee's website.
Support Cheyney in the Home Depot Retool Your School Campaign
The Home Depot continues its long standing support of diverse communities with its Retool Your School program, now in its third year. Retool your school is a campus improvement grant program which provides grants to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) for campus upgrades.
Last year, with the help of faculty, coaches, and students from all fourteen PASSHE universities, Cheyney University earned enough votes to place 3rd in the competition an win a $10,000 Campus Pride grant.
APSCUF would like to encourage all campuses to support Cheyney again this year by voting at the Retool Your School site or at Cheyney's website. You may vote once per day until online voting ends on April 15. Thank you for your continued support of Cheyney University.
Economic Development 101: D.C. Think Tank Focuses on Harm of State Higher Education Cuts
Last week, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (D.C.) released a grim report "Recent Deep State Higher Education Cuts May Harm Students and the Economy for Years to Come" that highlighted the impact of drastic cuts to higher education nationwide following the 2008-9 recession. According to the report, these cuts will have a negative impact on our nation's long-term recovery.
One of the biggest attractors of businesses to a region is the quality and education of its workforce. Although tax rates, access to infrastructure, and low utility costs are important magnets for business investment, so is an educated workforce.
The other side of this economic development plan is that an educated workforce generates middle-class jobs that sustain an economic recovery. For instance, according to the Georgetown Center on Education and the Workforce, by 2018, 62 percent of all jobs will require some form of college education, up from 28 percent in 1973.
PASSHE Board of Governors ratifies contracts for faculty and coaches
Today the PASSHE Board of Governors unanimously approved ratification of both tentative contract agreements with APSCUF faculty and coaches. It was a long, challenging negotiations process, but APSCUF and PASSHE reached agreements that were fair to faculty, coaches, and students.
Both negotiations teams and the negotiations committee appreciate the overwhelming support from faculty and coaches during the process and the strong showing of solidarity at the PASSHE Board of Governors meeting in January. Because of our collective efforts, we were able to settle contracts with the State System that preserve quality public higher education for our students.
APSCUF urges members to take action to stop liquor privatization
*URGENT: Legislative Action Needed on Liquor Privatization*
House Bill 790, pushed by Governor Corbett and sponsored by Majority Leader Mike Turzai, passed out of Committee yesterday. HB 790 would privatize the liquor states and end the valuable asset that generates more than $500 million dollars a year for Pennsylvania. Privatizing would mean a loss of that revenue and the potential for public higher education appropriations to be affected with this budget gap. Privatizing also means a loss of 5,000 middle class jobs, many of them held by our union friends in the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1776 (UFCW).
The plan will likely be voted upon on Thursday, possibly Wednesday, so we are asking our membership to act now!
APSCUF faculty vote to ratify contract with State System
Today faculty members belonging to the Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties (APSCUF) ratified a tentative contract agreement between APSCUF and the State System of Higher Education (PASSHE).
Over 95 percent of the faculty who voted supported the ratification. A simple majority vote was needed to ratify the contract.
"Faculty members at our universities are dedicated to providing students with a high quality education. The overwhelming support for this agreement illustrates the commitment our faculty have to our students and our institutions," said Dr. Steve Hicks, president of APSCUF. "This is a balanced contract that preserves and maintains quality public higher education in the Commonwealth."
PASSHE Appropriations Hearings
On Monday, March 4, Peter Garland, Acting Chancellor of the State System of Higher Education (PASSHE), testified before the House Appropriations Committee about PASSHE's budgetary needs. On Tuesday he offered similar testimony before the Senate Appropriations Committee. While there was a wide range of topics discussed at the two hearings, many of the questions from legislators focused on how PASSHE was able to the meet the needs of the universities with a limited budget.
In early February, Governor Corbett announced that the state's higher education institutions, including the state-related institutions, PASSHE universities, and community colleges, would receive flat funding in exchange for keeping tuition increases "as low as possible." Flat funding this year still means that the State System has experienced a loss of $90 million since the governor took office.
Are You a Phoenix or an Apollo?: University of Phoenix Faces Possible Probation Actions
By Doug Brown, Public Policy Researcher, and Sean Kitchen, APSCUF intern
The University of Phoenix is facing probation by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges because of the for-profit university's "lack of autonomy" from parent company and main shareholder, the Apollo Group. According to Inside Higher Ed, after completing its review the Commission originally planned to place the university on "notice"- a much lighter sanction - but changed course due to concerns about the ability of its board of directors to independently manage the university outside of Apollo and in a way that ensures integrity and supports an educational mission. The University of Phoenix accounts of 90 percent of the Apollo Group's total revenue.
The report also cited low retention and graduation rates at Phoenix, overreliance on federal aid as a revenue source, and the lack of sufficient assessment of learning outcomes.
Company representatives for Apollo claim that Phoenix has become more autonomous since its last accreditation review in 2002, and "believe that it is neither remarkable nor improper for a parent corporation to exercise appropriate influence over its wholly owned subsidiary." The Apollo Group conducted an internal report, which claimed that the university is "well resourced and innovative" and has received praise for its "high level of student services and related technology."
This university's accreditation issues, on top of the recent Senate report on for-profits' practices and a multi-state Attorneys General investigation, highlight why promoting and fighting for public higher education as the protector of academic integrity and advancement is important more now than ever. Corporations like Apollo want to make education a profit-making business, but quality higher education is a public good that is supposed to serve society, not a corporation's bottom line.
APSCUF coaches approve new contract with State System
Below is the text of a press release announcing the approval of the new contract between APSCUF coaches and PASSHE:
Today the coaches at the 14 state-owned universities approved a new contract with the State System of Higher Education (PASSHE). The contract would cover 400 coaches represented by the Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties (APSCUF).
Over 97 percent of the coaches who voted approved ratification of the contract. The PASSHE Board of Governors must also vote on the agreement.

My dd received a box of cross stitch stuff. Among the things in there. There was some cloth that you stitch on but it has a blue thread running through it every so often. and does'nt know what it is for. Can you help us out so that I can let her know. Thanks for any info you can offer. Be happy Be safe | |||
Is it actual cloth or a very loosely woven, stiff material? If you count the threads in between the blue threads are there the number of threads counted per inch? Cross stitch comes in everything from 6 to 32 threads per inch and the package it comes in or the instructions will say what the count is. If it's stiff, loosely woven fabric that is probably waste cloth and made to place over another fabric that doesn't have defined places for the "x"s then once the cross stitch is finished, you wet the fabric and pull the top threads out. Other than those 2 ideas, I've no clue. Maybe someone else will know. *********************************** "May God give you...For every storm a rainbow, for every tear a smile, for every care a promise and a blessing in each trial. For every problem life sends, a faithful friend to share, for every sigh a sweet song and an answer for each prayer." http://www.qovf.org/index.html http://cof2013.blogspot.com/ | ||||
There is Counted Cross Stitch, and then there Cross Stitch, which may be small X's, sometimes called cross stitch, which comes with embroidery. The counted CrossStitch is usually on a fabric where you count the stitches. Or on plastic grids, which come in 7 stitches to the inch, or 10 Stitches or 18, or 20 and so on. Sometimes it can be a paper with holes that have Gold or Silver on one side. I have tried all kinds and it is very restful to work on. And then there are the blanket types that have squares on them to separate the focal pictures. If this isn't enough information, perhaps you can check in a store that has all the different types. But be careful it is addicting. Hope you find out what it is you have. nuquiltr | ||||
I agree with the idea that if it's stiff, it's probably waste canvas. Another idea is that if the blue threads are every 10 squares on the fabric, that it is set up to match the grid on the x-stitch chart. It helps keep the stitcher on track with the chart — wonderfully helpful if it's a really complicated piece. "Never be afraid to try anything new. Remember, amateurs built the Ark. Professionals built the Titanic." Unknown. | ||||
It sounds like tear away. The blue lines should be every so many squares. It is used to do counted cross patterns on fabric not otherwise suited to cross stitch. You hand baste to whatever you want to do the cross, then pull the threads free and the cross stitch remains. It would be easier to identify with a picture. Quilter Chris | ||||
It does sound like a waste canvas. I saw some in Michaels the other day. I didn't think they made it any more. | ||||
Thanks to everyone that offered me info. I will let DD know what was said. I also thought of the pullaway or waste cloth when she asked. But it has been a while since I did cross stitch .Again thanks to each one of you. Be happy Be safe | ||||

Symposia / General Information
F25 Ships and Marine Technology
Title: Seminar on Marine Anti-Fouling Paints - Performance and Testing (Cancelled)
Dates: Wednesday December 05 2012 Location: Hyatt Regency Atlanta; Atlanta, GA Event Name: December 2012 Committee Week About The Event Technical Program Registration Information Continuing Education Units Technical Chair Contact Information Hotel Information Transportation and Directions Dress and Weather Standards Development Meetings Future Meeting Dates A Seminar on Marine Anti-Fouling Paints- Performance Standards and Testing will be held Wednesday, December 5, 2012. Sponsored by ASTM Committee F25 on Ships and Marine Technology, the workshop will be held at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta in Atlanta, GA, in conjunction with the December standards development meetings of the committee. Objective Currently, it is hard to get comparable data on the performance of ship hull coating systems because there is a lack of standardization of the collection of data, and of the interpretation of the same data. As such it is hard for ship owners to justify investment in better and often more capital intensive products that in fact could save on fuel, and as such, reduce air emissions. Once there is a standardized way to measure performance, and good quality data is collected, it will be possible in the future to generate a guide to antifouling paint selection for optimum performance for each ship type and operative profile. Click on the link for the schedule/program of presentation times, paper titles, and presenters' names http://myastm.astm.org/MEETINGS/SYMPOSIAPROGRAMS/F25ID2309.pdf.
