In 1978, the Student Confederation began funding a day care program for students to use while they were on campus. Over time, the CDC expanded its services to include children of AU faculty and staff. Today the CDC enrolls thirty children in an engaging pre-school program that uses play to teach reading, science, art, social skills, and music.
Enrollment Enrollment is based on availability of space and affiliation with AU. Children may enroll as early as 2 ½ years old until they are age 6 or are old enough to start kindergarten. Please visit their website: http://www.american.edu/hr/CDC/index.cfm
Daily Schedule A consistent daily routine provides the framework for a natural, familiar environment where the children can learn and play. Lunch at midday, snacks in the morning and afternoon, and a two hour nap in the early afternoon ensures that the children's physical needs for nutrition and rest are met. Time for cleaning up is set aside after activities to teach responsibility. During designated times of outdoor play or indoor time ensure exposure to activities designed to develop numerous social and intellectual skills.
Child Development Various activities throughout the day encourage children to learn pro-social skills and develop intellectual curiosity. Play is a main tool in the teaching strategy at the CDC as children are encouraged to explore activities that appeal to their interests. The main activities include playing with blocks, reading books, making art and music, exploring sand and water, playing with table activities to develop fine motor skills, investigating scientific experiments, and outdoor play. Older children are provided opportunities to explore carpentry and writing to further develop fine motor skills and literacy. Throughout the year's curriculum, children also explore different themes in socio-dramatic play such as dressing up to imitate adults cooking, running a house, or working in an office. The activities encourage children's natural enjoyment of using their imaginations to learn and explore social roles.
Children in the program are separated by age into groups of those ages two through four, and children 3 ½ to five years old. Each age group is assigned a Lead Teacher who follows the children's progress and can provide updates to parents.
CDC's Service to AU Students The CDC's participates in Federal Work-study, thus creating jobs and enabling students to work on campus. The center also provides internship opportunities to students studying education and psychology. These interns work with CDC staff members to complete projects and assist with the daily operations of the center.

By JONATHAN CHENG
A strong surge by International Business Machines lifted the Dow Jones Industrial Average to its ninth gain in 10 sessions, as investors cheered a temporary reprieve in Washington's fiscal debate.
The Dow tacked on 67.12 points, or 0.49%, to 13779.33, with almost all of those gains coming from IBM. The blue-chip technology giant pushed the price-weighted index up 65.39 points alone, though weakness among other stocks limited the day's advance. The Dow has risen in nine of the past 10 days, and now is at its highest level since December 2007.
The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index gained 2.25 points, or 0.15%, to 1494.81, for its sixth consecutive advance. The Nasdaq Composite rose 10.49 points, or 0.33%, to 3153.67.
IBM led the tech rally, rising $8.64, or 4.4%, to $204.72 after the blue-chip giant reported fourth-quarter earnings and revenue that exceeded analyst expectations and provided a 2013 earnings outlook that was above current projections.
Separately, Google shot up 38.63, or 5.5%, to 741.50, on higher-than-usual volume after the Internet search giant's fourth-quarter earnings beat estimates.
Apple gained 9.24, or 1.8%, to 514.01 ahead of its fiscal first-quarter results. In after-hours trading, Apple gave back those gains and more, slumping 10% after offering sales guidance that disappointed investors.
The market also was cheered by a vote in the House of Representatives to suspend the U.S. debt ceiling through May 19, a move that will allow the U.S. to keep paying its bills and give lawmakers breathing room for long-term budget talks.
Weighing on the market were materials, energy and utilities stocks.
The Stoxx Europe 600 inched up 0.2%, as gains in Germany and U.K. markets were offset by weakness in France and Spain.
Japan's Nikkei Stock Average tumbled 2.1% to its lowest level since Dec. 28 as investors continued to express disappointment over the Bank of Japan's new stimulus measures. China's Shanghai Composite gained 0.3% and Australia's S&P ASX 200 added 0.2%.
Crude-oil futures fell 1.5% to $95.23 a barrel, while gold futures edged down 0.4% to $1,686.30 per troy ounce. The dollar was flat against the euro and the yen. Treasurys rose, sending the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note down to 1.835%.

Since the server is having issues due to threads with post counts over 500, the previous thread had to be closed. As such, another thread has been opened, again. The link to the Dungeon Keeper Ami story can be found HERE. Only posts by Pusakuronu count as being part of the DKA story. The link to the previous discussion thread can be found HERE. The link to the first thread, here. For those who still haven't heard of this story, I'll copy/paste the basic description from the previous thread. Not quite a Sailor Moon fic, it is without a doubt a very entertaining, long, and detailed Sailor Mercury fic. It currently stands at the time at over 140 chapters by Pusakuronu. The premise behind the fic is both very interesting, and has been very well done. A portal accident during a raid against the Dark Kingdom leaves Ami (Sailor Mercury) stuck on another world, smack dab in an abandoned Dungeon Heart with a very irate Horned Reaper looking for its own freedom, eventually leading to it convincing Ami to activate it. What follows is Ami accidentally losing her soul to the Dark Gods, the world she's on viewing her as Evil with a Capital E, and a series of fights against both the other Keepers, and the forces of Light, leading from whats starts as a desperate fight for survival to what is basically world conquest. Oh, and I can't forget to mention the highly amusing and embarrassing situations and rumors that start to spread about her. EDIT; Considering AnimeAddventure's latest habit of accidentally deleting some of DKA's comment sections, and considering some of the official Omake's are in there, I figured I should repost the Omakes here. I'm ONLY including the Omakes done by Pusakaruno though. #1. An Official Omake regarding the Afterlifes of Successful Keepers. #2. A Non-Official Omake regarding Metallia's Triumph. #3. An Non-Official Omake regarding Mercury successfully summong her Soul back. Not As Planned. #4. A Non-Official Omake regarding what else Crowned Death could have Summoned. Oh, and here's some DKA artwork while I'm at it. Commissioned Fanart for DKA. More Fanart of DKA. Ami in Reaper Armor (Mild Nudity, So Err on the Side of Caution Here) Pusakuronu's DKA artwork drawings
Chemistry is fun! (and explosive) And wow, screaming so loud your skeleton host's jaw explodes and his entire body starts turning to dust. That is grade A PISSED OFF.
Nice use of chlorine trifluoride in the latest update. No wonder the Crowned Death is pissed, abruptly evicted from Ami's mind, 13 undead dungeon hearts, one giant mobile dungeon, a vast treasury, the power source for the battlestaffs, and the huge army of aquatic undead destroyed. The reactions of the other watchers should be interesting - although they may think that she managed to trigger a self-destruct device.
Crowned Death got overconfident. Ami's main plan had failed, and there was zero way of her getting into his mind-heart network. He got greedy and let her in, assuming that he could trap her without her getting an order off. While he was right, he didn't realize that Tiger could possess Ami and fire off an order through her, or that one order using the resources he has is all it'd take to wreck his fortress. Pusakuronu also did a non-canon omake that to be seen to be believed: http://addventure.bast-enterprises.de/241404.html
Crowned Death knows full well that Ami is an OCP that repeatedly pulls off all kinds of surprising tricks out of nowhere. Nevertheless, he gave her access to his entire base, predicated on the assumption she wouldn't be able to wrest control somehow.
Still, giving an unpredictable OCP control over your base, even to the most limited degree, is a pointless and unnecessary risk. Ami's plan would have failed completely if Crowned Death had kept his defenses. He got greedy and tried to capture Ami in addition to stopping the attack, and it blew up in his face. After all, even if Tiger's attempt hadn't worked, Torian's might have, or perhaps another.
If he didn't capture Ami she would be out doing something and as you note she's an unpredictable OCP, much better to have her trapped. Yeah the reasoning can go both ways.
Wow, it's been years since I've even thought about that evil molecule. Yet another example of just how hax a matter-creation ability can be.
You aren't the only one. Still, he's bound to gain some prestige for trying, at least. Torians Amazing Undead Dominator has now been used by a keeper to fight a god!
Beyond the Impossible now has a fitting place on the TVTropes page. It's like a medieval Lensman Arms Race is starting up in here.
Tiger did it with Crowned Death's Dungeon Heart, even if it shortly died right after, is anyone afraid that it might remember?
Yeah, I'm expecting the other Dark Gods to start pulling their own super-weapon projects off the back burner after this.
I doubt anyone could use chlorine trifluoride as anything other than a self destruct. The thing is too unstable to store and it would need to be produced on ones territory. Though this does open up the good idea of Dungeon Keepers creating poisonous, maybe incapacitating poisons in their territory against invaders. VX gas or some neurotoxin would do. Or as other would call it toad poison or some type of venom. :drevil: I am more concerned of the fact that CD could have ripped knowledge from Ami's mind like she did to that Keeper in the desert she was possessing before she killed him.
Good point on the first one. As to the second one, Ami is specifically noted as resisting him. Further, she's not a subordinate keeper.
Ian Banks, Excession: "most civilizations would encounter just once, and which they tended to encounter rather in the same way a sentence encountered a full stop."
Chlorine tetrafluoride can be stored in metal containers, since the initial reaction would create an insulating film. The problem is that it could be scoured off, leading to an uncontrolled chemical fire.
I had thought events were shaping up so that Ami wouldn't be able to go for complex out of context spell, clever strategy, elegant solution route and instead have use a more brute force grinding numbers and charging minions approach. But I guess that was just me reading things in.

I am totally enchanted by this man's voice! My mom got me his Awake album for Christmas and it's all I've listened to since I got it! I would give anything to sing a duet with him.Anybody else totally in love with Josh Groban's singing?
Oh I love Monday Morning Coming Down...anything Kristofferson. And I could listen to Waylon Jennings sing about rusty nails and old socks...especially if he was dueting with Willie Nelson. The Ballad of Pancho and Lefty is one of my all time favorites.

Masterpiece Volume 12 – The Ultimate Disco Funk CollectionVarious
CD (Item 606140) PTG (Netherlands), Early 80s — Condition: New Copy
Plenty of disco funk going on here – those funky sort of club tunes that offer up a great contrast to the overplayed mainstream of the time! And dispite the disco in the title, lots of the tracks here are from the early 80s – years when disco was waning a fair bit, but other dancefloors were still going strong – providing a great outlet for grooves like this – many of which are pulled from small label 12" singles! An 80s vibe pervades – lots of bassy bits, sweet keyboards, and vocals that are usually soulful enough to hang onto the groove – another winner from the Masterpiece series. Titles include "Come Back Lover (club)" by Carl Smith, "Rock Shock" by BBCS & A, "Bottom's Up" by The Chi-Lites, "Message In The Love" by Barbara Joyce, "Freak It Out" by Electric Smoke, "Excitation" by Brutus, "Love Ain't No Holiday" by Native, "So In Love With You (ext dance)" by Lisa, and "Strict Concern" by Bromar. © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

hAVING THEM CALLED THE TOP 20 UNDRAFTED PLAYERS IS LIKE A STORE MANAGER SAYING "HERE'S OUR BEST EXPIRED MEAT,MILK AND EGGS!"
Is me or does it seem that Mark Sanchez got more media attention than Stafford has since being drafted by the Jets?? Maybe it's just ESPN that selling it...
The Jets spent the bank getting Sanchez. With what they gave the Pack for Favre it's a wonder they had any picks.
Why does Jessica Simpson keep calling me? LOL No they didn't. Just two defensive depth players/A QB and picks. Not much, Mangina did the Jets a favor. I expect Mark Sanchez is getting more attention, because he's in NYC.
He gets more attention because the Jets have a MUCH more immediate chance of winning with him (team is a lot better). The Lions have NO chance with Stafford this season.

NFL Power Rankings came out...post draft. Minnesota, Chicago, and Green Bay are ranked 9th, 11th, and 13th respectively. The Lions, very unrespected, are ranked dead last........
That is probably true. They are assuming that the Lions will still be part of the league next season.

Capitals 4, Jets 0: Alex Ovechkin recorded a goal and two assists while Braden Holtby made 20 saves for his fourth shutout as visiting Washington easily handled Winnipeg.Nicklas Backstrom and Marcus Johansson each added a goal and an assist and Troy Brouwer also scored for the Capitals, who will remain in Winnipeg to face the Jets again on Friday.Ondrej Pavelec turned aside 21 shots for Winnipeg, which failed to earn a point for the second time in its last nine games (6-2-1).Brouwer gave the Capitals an early lead at 3:06 of the first period, when he sent a wrist shot from the left faceoff circle through traffic and past a screened Pavelec. Ovechkin set up the second goal later in the session, sending a sharp pass across the slot to Johansson, who tapped it past Pavelec's right side.Backstrom set up Ovechkin's power-play goal with 5:54 left in the third with a pass from behind the end line to the left faceoff circle. Ovechkin fired the puck high over Pavelec's left shoulder to extend his goal-scoring streak to three games.GAME NOTEBOOK: Holtby's shutout was the seventh of his career. He is tied with Phoenix's Mike Smith for second in the NHL this season behind Nashville's Pekka Rinne (five). … Backstrom capped the scoring with 98 seconds left in the third period with his fourth goal. … Winnipeg RW Blake Wheeler, who scored twice in three of the previous five games, was held to one shot on goal.

Valentine's Day gifts for her
Designer Erin Fetherston may not "kiss and tell," but she certainly will "kiss and create" when inspiration strikes.
As it did last year when she was out with girlfriends and became fascinated by the wide variety of lipstick prints they all left on napkins. Mwah! Each one unique. So she gathered kiss prints from her gal pals in her studio and designed a custom lipstick print, which appears on various items in her spring line, including a strapless dress, skinny pants and a cosmetics bag. No surprise-- the line is called "Sealed with a Kiss." And perfect for Valentine's Day.
We've gathered a bunch of other ideas, available in stores or on websites--which for a little extra shipping fee can get goods to you by Thursday. -- Joseph V. Amodio

The Drowsy Chaperone (Don Ward)
Updated: 05/20/2013 - Two weekends left to catch one great show!
A teen accused of kidnapping and killing a 10-year-old Colorado girl now faces an additional sexual assault charge.
Prosecutors said Wednesday that they've charged 17-year-old Austin Sigg with using physical force and threats to sexually assault 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway. They've also tweaked the language of charges previously filed in Jessica's disappearance and slaying in October. She was abducted as she walked to school in the Denver suburb of Westminster.
Jessica's father and other relatives live in the Kansas City suburb of Independence, Mo.
Sigg is also accused of attacking a 22-year-old woman in Jessica's neighborhood in May. She escaped.
The judge in the case said Wednesday he would bar the public and the media from a preliminary hearing for Sigg, saying he wanted to avoid influencing any potential jurors if Sigg's case goes to trial.

Double Mushroom and Marsala Cream Fettuccine
1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms (a generous handful)
Salt and pepper
1 pound fettuccine pasta
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)
1 pound cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh sage or 2 teaspoons dried sage
1/2 cup marsala wine
1/2 cup heavy cream (eyeball it)
1 cup grated pecorino-romano cheese, plus more to pass around the table
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt it, add the pasta and cook until al dente. Drain.
While the pasta is working, in a large skillet, heat the EVOO, 4 turns of the pan, over medium-high heat. Add the creminis and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 8 minutes; season with salt, pepper and the sage. Stir in the marsala and cook for 1 minute.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the porcinis. Strain the chicken stock and reserve 2 cups. Finely chop the porcinis and add to the cremini mixture; stir in the reserved chicken stock. Stir in the cream and cook until thickened, about 10 minutes. Add the pasta and cheese and toss.

In 2008, Royal Dutch Shell and Wetlands International established a five-year partnership to enhance the conservation and sustainable use of wetlands by Shell and its affiliates. It will strengthen the capacity of Wetlands International through building in-house business skills and sharing knowledge in the communication, HR and finance disciplines. The partnership was signed by Jeroen van der Veer, then Chief Executive of Royal Dutch Shell and Jane Madgwick, CEO of Wetlands International.
The partnership is in recognition of the disproportionately high global significance of wetland ecosystems in terms of biodiversity, water provision, people's livelihoods and climate change. Wetlands such as deltas, shallow marine systems, inter-tidal marshes, rivers and peatlands are also particularly vulnerable to the impacts of the energy industry's policies and practices.
As part of this partnership, Shell will seek to develop new strategies, policies and tools to protect wetlands biodiversity and people, and to fulfill its sustainable development objectives. Wetlands International will provide the knowledge about wetland areas, their values and advice on how to manage them in a more sustainable way. The cooperation will in general aim to minimise the loss of nature and negative impacts on associated livelihoods.
The activities under the partnership will focus on specific areas where the activities of Shell and Wetlands International overlap. Examples of this is the development by Wetlands International of guidance on reducing the impacts of activities of the oil and gas sector on wetlands. Areas where we currently explore cooperation include, reducing the possible negative impacts of biofuel production, oil exploration in the Artic and the Niger Delta, and enhanced conservation of crucial wetlands along the flyways of waterbirds.
Under the partnership with Shell, the following programmes & projects are implemented:

Hello! I am going to be a posting fool in these message boards. I had the bathroon renovated about 10 years ago. My carpenter did the work. Now, he is a very good carpenter, but I dont' think that bathrooms were really his gig. We had an insert installed in the shower/tub area. New cement board was installed. However, I think that he used nails rather than screws to secure the cement board, because now I am seeing specific cracks in the shower insert. Ok-so now I would to tile, but do I need to replace the cement board again? My carpenter also left a 1 1/2 in gap between the tub and the insert and very few years I have to re-caulk the area and it's a pain. thanks! | |||
I would get someone who is good at building showers take a look - anytime you have a 1-1/2" gap you have some problems. It could be that the best solution is to rip out what is there and start all over again. Jaybee | ||||
Post a picture of what you have. Let me just make a guess, there was orginaly plaster and lath on the wall before that tile board went in. That would account for an 1-1/2 gap. Totaly wrong way to do it to leave any gap. Simply shiming out the wall with 2 X 4's laying flat on the wall would have fixed that. Nails or screws can be used to attach tile board but they needed to be galv. roofing nails. Severial thing could have caused the issues, not enough nails, wrong nails, no web tape and thin set over the seams, no waterproofing over the tile board.This message has been edited. Last edited by: joecaption, joecaption | ||||
When you say insert do you mean a one piece shower stall? joecaption | ||||
oh thank you for the responses! yes-there is one solid piece of shower insert. Was pink tile in the beginning. Ok-I lied. Not 1 1/2 inch gap..more like 3/4 inch. I also have water problems. Build up from the water. White. Not sure if it's calcium or what. City has been out several times and says everything fine. City guy told me that I might have to replace all water fixtures every 7 years..I told him he was on pills. Have a whole house water filter off the main water line. | ||||
Your water needs to be treated not filtered. Calcium will end up on the bottom of your water heater and short out the element over time, plug up water lines, and act like an abrasive on any plumbing fixtures. No clue what that's a picture of. Just looks like a seam with a hump. Back up and try again.This message has been edited. Last edited by: joecaption, joecaption | ||||
The picture was of the gap that I have between the insert and the shower where I have to re caulk. If I take a picture of the entire insert-it will photograph well since it is all white. But would I need to replace the cement board in back if I remove it for tile? I did have a water softener, but I have taken it off. Been a couple of years now. Made no difference on the build up. thank you again for all of the responses | ||||
the EPA in the US requires that all cities post annually for their residents what the analysis of the city water is. your city's website should have it, or pick up a copy at the city hall. the salient point on there for you in these questions is what is the hardness of the water in grains. just about everyplace I've lived has water from 15-17 grains hardness, surface or well. that is the limit of treatment they will perform before pushing the water into the towers. that's easily handled by a working water softener. if you aren't getting that out of the taps, then the control needs to be adjusted for timing the regeneration of the tank. and he wasn't lying when he said service faucets every 7 years to you. but that doesn't necessarily mean replacing them. you can help by cycling all your shutoffs at least once a year, doing that mysterious "tank drain" in the water heater every year, and buying washerless faucets and replacing the seals and control element when the faucets start leaking. some might need a vinegar soak if they get crusted up. -0- shower details: if you have top faults, you are certain to find bottom faults that allow water where it shouldn't be if you open things up. I am betting you will need to strip the shower area down to studs and rebuild it to solve the issues, and hopefully there is no weakened rotted wood that needs replacement. sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money? | ||||

Happy Weekend
Did anyone else feel like this week was incredibly long? I think it is this time of year, especially when you live in a place that is incredibly cold. When it is 18 degrees outside, it messes with your motivation - which is why I was moving kind of slow this week. We all have weeks like this right? I sure hope so. This is the first weekend I will be in Chicago in what seems like a long time, and we will be busy celebrating lots of birthdays and wining and dining with friends. What are you up to? Is it cold where you are? What do you wear when you are forced to go outside in 10 degree weather? I don't think that is something anyone can answer - layers, cute boots, and seventeen jackets.
Also, happy first day of February {what?}. Have a good one, friends!

Boston actually got warm for two days this week. We had highs in the 50s. Unfortunately it was pouring rain during those two days and now we are back to 20s and 30s, so I'm right there with you. Though I'm definitely getting sick of my boots and coats!

Three thoughts on rationalism
Wednesday, February 29th, 2012 at 10:10 pm by JacquelineThree thoughts for today:
Charles Watts, essay "The Meaning of Rationalism", 1905, (in An Anthology of Atheism & Rationalism, Gordon Stein, pg 22)
"The Rationalist Press Association, in its Prospectus, defines Rationalism 'as the mental attitude which unreservedly accepts the supremacy of reason and aims at establishing a system of philosophy and ethics verifiable by experience and independent of all arbitrary assumptions or authority.'"
Charles Watts, essay "The Meaning of Rationalism", 1905, (in An Anthology of Atheism & Rationalism, Gordon Stein, pg 25)
"We have outgrown the old mode of propaganda, and we recognize more than ever the influences of our environment. We are, in this particular, like trees: we expand and grow from within, but often the iron band of circumstances that surrounds us prevents our free growth and expansion. We, therefore, adopt the rational plan of imparting a knowledge of the facts of existence as revealed by science and philosophy, believing that, in proportion as truth is recognised and accepted, error will disappear. Rationalism is bound by no ancient creeds, hampered by no alleged sacred books, nor marred by dread of punishment in some other world for entertaining unpopular opinions in this. Our desire, as Rationalists, is to urge a sound motive for conduct, which is that "the welfare of the people is the supreme law," to obtain freedom for all in matters of opinion, to promote ethical culture irrespective of theological teachings, and to foster friendly co-operation in spite of divergency of thought."
Annie Besant, essay "Why I Do Not Believe In God" , 1887 (in An Anthology of Atheism & Rationalism, Gordon Stein, pg 30)
"…Truth, is a thing to be shouted from the housetops, not to be whispered over the walnuts and wine after the ladies have left; for only by plain and honest speech on this matter can liberty of thought be won. Each who speaks out makes easier speech for others, and none, however insignificant, has right of silence here. Nor is it unfair, I think that a minority should be challenged on its dissidency, and should be expected to state clearly and definitely the grounds of its disagreement with the majority."

CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — Calling the NCAA's investigation "unprofessional and unethical," Miami President Donna Shalala lashed out at the governing body for college athletics on Monday, insisting that their long probe of the Hurricanes not only come to a swift end but result in no other penalties against her school.
"We have been wronged," Shalala said.
Her statement came shortly after the embattled NCAA said it was pressing on with the case against Miami, even after the acknowledgment Monday of "missteps" that led to the replacement of its enforcement department and the throwing out of all ill-gotten information gleaned from two depositions that could have been very damaging for the Hurricanes.
The NCAA said it paid Maria Elena Perez, the attorney for former booster Nevin Shapiro, more than $19,000 for work she performed, primarily using subpoena power to ask questions on the association's behalf and doing so under the guise of a bankruptcy case. The NCAA does not have subpoena power and was not involved in Shapiro's bankruptcy proceedings.
And this all comes with Miami expecting to finally receive its notice of allegations — the list of wrongs that the NCAA will claim it found — as early as Tuesday, a long-awaited step that will usher in the start of the sanction phase of the process.
"Sadly the NCAA has not lived up to their own core principles," Shalala wrote. "The lengthy and already flawed investigation has demonstrated a disappointing pattern of unprofessional and unethical behavior. By the NCAA leadership's own admission, the University of Miami has suffered from inappropriate practices by NCAA staff."
Perez did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Florida Bar said last week that it has opened a file to see if Perez broke any rules through her involvement in the Miami-NCAA matter.
Earlier Monday, speaking on a teleconference to announce the findings of a review into his association's ties with the attorney of the former Miami booster at the center of this scandal, NCAA President Mark Emmert insisted the case will not be settled.
"This is going to go forward to the committee on infractions," Emmert said.
It's believed that committee has a meeting sometime in the next few days, though it would be an incredibly rare step for Miami to get in front of that group so quickly. The next scheduled session comes in April — and it usually takes two to three months for penalties to be announced after schools appear before that committee. Continued...
"There must be a strong sense of urgency to bring this to closure," Shalala wrote. "Our dedicated staff and coaches, our outstanding student-athletes, and our supporters deserve nothing less."
Already, Miami's football program has voluntarily forfeited the right to appear in two bowl games, along with one trip to the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game, up to 30 practices and an undisclosed number of scholarships in response to the investigation. Earlier this month, coach Al Golden told The Associated Press that he believes the Hurricanes have already paid "a huge penalty."
Others, on the NCAA level, are also paying a price.
Julie Roe Lach, who was the NCAA's vice president for enforcement — basically, its top cop — since 2010, was ousted and has been replaced on a temporary basis by Jonathan Duncan, a lawyer with extensive experience working with the association.
"Obviously, this is an outcome that nobody wants to see on their watch or anyone else's," Emmert said. "This is something that's an embarrassment to the association and our staff."
Lach was part of the chain that approved payments to Perez, the attorney for Shapiro, a convicted Ponzi scheme architect now serving a 20-year term in federal prison. According to a 52-page report commissioned by the NCAA and released Monday, Perez offered her help to the NCAA in the form of "using bankruptcy subpoenas to compel depositions from witnesses who had refused to cooperate."
The NCAA, in turn, provided her with specific questions to ask, those coming in an email from former investigator Ameen Najjar, dated Dec. 18, 2011. "Maria, Listed below are a number of areas we would like you to explore," began the email from Najjar.
From there, he listed 34 questions, none of which seem to be in any way related to a bankruptcy case.
Upon learning that Perez was willing to participate with investigators, members of the NCAA's legal team urged the enforcement department not to proceed, though were apparently ignored. And now the depositions given by former Miami equipment-room staffer Sean Allen and former Shapiro business partner Michael Huyghue — along with any other lead that came out of their interviews — have been tossed from the NCAA's case against the Hurricanes.
"Based upon our review, it is our opinion that the current assertions in the U. Miami Investigative Record are not based on evidence that is derived, directly or indirectly, from the depositions of Mr. Allen or Mr. Huyghue," said the report, which was prepared by Kenneth L. Wainstein, an attorney hired to lead the probe that Emmert ordered last month. Continued...
Wainstein estimated on a teleconference that about 20 percent of the case against Miami had to be tossed because of the depositions.
According to the report and other documents released by the NCAA on Monday, Perez billed the NCAA for $57,115 worth of work performed from October 2011 through July 2012 — though Lach and other officials were expecting the amount of her work to cost roughly $15,000. The depositions of Allen and Huyghue were performed in December 2011.
One email released by the NCAA from an investigator who worked on the case said they wanted her to depose Allen because the NCAA "did not think he would interview with us again" otherwise.
Allen was not contacted during the NCAA's external probe, which started late last month after Emmert said major breakdowns in the association's own procedures were discovered.
Another point in the report was that now-retired Associate Director of Enforcement Rich Johanningmeier bought a prepaid cellphone and paid for Shapiro's prison phone calls. The NCAA spent about $8,200 "to fund communications with Mr. Shapiro, including transfers of approximately $4,500 to his prison commissary account."
Given what the NCAA revealed Monday, Shalala made it very clear: Miami will not accept more sanctions without a fight.
"We believe that this process must come to a swift resolution, which includes no additional punitive measures beyond those already self-imposed," Shalala said.

AT&T and Nokia extend free charging plate offer through end of February
Good news if you haven't yet bought a Lumia 920 as AT&T and Nokia have extended the free wireless charging plate bargain, which was supposed to end at the beginning of January. The free deal for the $49 item is now extended through February 21st, which is a nice addition of 6 weeks.
The Nokia branded Qi wireless charger allows users to plop their new 920 for a quick and effortless re-charge of their new device. While many have scoffed at the idea of wireless charging as "nice but gimmicky" we're 100% converts here and recoil at the idea of having to physically plug in our phone.
Whereas getting people to adopt wireless charging through an extra purchase is a bad idea, Nokia and AT&T's offer is crucial for good word-of-mouth via new customers who embrace the technology.
Source: AT&T; Thanks, Joseph S., for the tip
There are 40 comments. Sign in to commentkidjenius says:
are these charging plates even available in canada? or are we getting shunned
allos autos says:
They are not available in Canada, but I don't think we're getting shunned. Instead, I think the carriers have decided not to offer them.
ImmortalWarrior says:
The Microsoft Store at Yorkdale mall had the charging stands but they did not have the charging plates. I am unsure if they didn't have them because they were sold out, or because they don't stock them.
mango.lover says:
They don't stock them.
Dusteater says:
Too bad those of us who paid full retail got screwed over.
tissotti says:
Like hundred of millions of people here in Europe and Asia who never even had any kind of these deals and are happy to pay 599 euros for the device?
It's a special offer for a reason. I would not call you getting screwed there.
James8561 says:
screwed over? lol!
it's an offer from AT&T and that carrier only so if you don't buy from them you don't get it. remember, you're not buying this from nokia, you're buying it from a middle man. and if that middle man isn't AT&T (and you don't sign their terms) you don't get their bonus. it's that simple.
plus you probably got instant availability of any color you want by paying full price anyway.
bbqrooster says:
I continue to be amazed at the attitude of people. You don't get something for free does not mean you are screwed. You can do like everyone else who got the free charger, sign up 2 years at AT&T. You decided to pay full retail. So exactly who is the one screwing you.
CoZmicShReddeR says:
I bought 3 Lumia 920 phones through BestBuy for the AT&T network on release day... I am sure the deal is only supported if you buy directly from AT&T!
invisik says:
Wireless charging is the frickin bomb. Go get it.
MrVol84 says:
What ever happened to the free headphone deal?
troylytle says:
Bitched and got 2 stands free instead.
lesd777 says:
Surprised they want to continue this as I figured they are still low on inventory. I ordered red, and received an apology letter and sent me a black charger.
Troyseph says:
Same thing happened to me. I think that is just what they were doing.
Tafsern says:
Does the color really matter when you get it for free? Come on!
jonathan sink says:
That sorta happened to me wife got her yellow plate, but I got the letter and a black one instead of cyan.
NickyNichols says:
I am still waiting for mine, and I got my phone a month and a half ago.
elisaur says:
Double check with att. I orderee mine in November and it got a cancellation email instead last week. Such a pain.
SmoothDog says:
I ordered mine in November and my AT&T guy keeps on telling me they are on backorder. I want a Cyan one to match my phone but I would take any bloody color at the moment.
SourceFour says:
Same here. I got my phone right after Thanksgiving, and ordered a red plate to go with the red phone. So far, it's the middle of January and nothing. No backorder notice, no subsitution black plate, no cancellation, nothing. The sheer lack of availability of accessories for this wonderful phone is going to end up being its demise.
ICMIAMI05 says:
My wireless charging been on backorder since 12-22-12 AT&T claim more shipments is arriving next week and it will ship upon that new batch. Terrible I haven't been able to show that particular feature to friends.
CoZmicShReddeR says:
That's funny I went on their website there is a search thing to find out which store has it in stock but when I call them on the phone they tell me they are not allowed to specify... Those chargers are probably in another store am sure you can take you're recipe to any of them as long as it is a official store... But not sure might be only through where you purchased it.
ICMIAMI05 says:
I actually got into an argument with the sales rep at the store I purchased my 920 from....he tried to tell me the 920 didn't have wireless charging, it was only on the 900. Dumb rep...I asked to speak with the manager who set the record straight to his employee then was informed that indeed they were out of stock. I called AT&T customer care three times before a rep was able to place the order for me. I have a white 920 but was told I would receive a yellow wireless charger. At this point I'll take it in pink if I had to, just want what's being promoted. Was buying the phone regardless....actuallly left T-Mobile to get the phone.
cool8man says:
T-mobile is also giving a $60 rebate on the wireless charging stand and charging shell for the Lumia 810.
Noahma says:
That surprises me. My local AT&T had a large pile of the plates in stock when I grabbed my Lumia. All black though. The phone itself on the other hand was almost out. Surprised I was able to get ahold of a red one lol
chadwick611 says:
so can you just go to the store and pick one up if you have a 920?
Quin 2013 says:
The plate was offered as "free" at at&t and the phone at $100.
The way they post the transaction is the phone is at $50 (that's the L920) and the pad at $50.
I should had asked if I don't want the pad, would I get the phone at $50?
Just a heads up for anyone buying an L920.
Arsenic17 says:
I preordered my cyan 920 on Nov 7 and the option was not available to add it to my cart. I called about 10 times and they just tell me the plate is back ordered and it will ship when it is available, bug still it is not on my Order or anything. Yeah 10 weeks still waiting...
tstray says:
I just ordered a Cyan Nokia Lumia 920 on Friday over the phone with AT&T. Tracking shows the phone will arrive today and the charging plate will arrive tomorrow. The AT&T rep said any color charging plate was available for free, so she added the Cyan charging plate to my order. I'm crossing my fingers but the cyan charging plate should arrive tomorrow. If cyan wasn't available it would have told her it was out of stock before she placed the order. The Cyan Lumia 920 showed low stock for her but she was able to order that for me (interesting because the AT&T website showed Cyan Lumia was out of stock but by calling I was able to order it). There wasn't a similar message for her when ordering the cyan charging plate.
chuco187 says:
That's what you get for rushing to buy it before everyone.
Arsenic17 says:
thats what you get for blowing a big one
NZ255 says:
Anyone in NZ, I got a free black charger bundled with my red 920 from the telecom store the other day.
frenzydude says:
I'm still wondering why att sent me a black one when I ordered the cyan charger to go with my phone.
erasure25 says:
I believe the free charging plate from ATT was limited to either white or black only.
camptime says:
Here in Thailand we were offered the wireless charger as part of a loyatty package for upgrading to a new phone. Only problem is nobody can tell us when we will recieve it. I have been waiting for 4 weeks now and am none the wiser about delivery dates.
DanBB1 says:
From where in Thailand did you buy the phone? Which store?
MadDogFL62 says:
I have a number of coworkers who purchased a 920 during the holidays for their children or themselves. Few have recieved their "free" charging pad. Those who have went directly back to AT&T to pick them up once they were in stock. May be an inventory thing...
Radu Grama says:
Interesting, 'cause ATT just canceled my wireless charging plate on one of my 3 L920s. Maybe I should give those nuckleheads a call?
glow84 says:
I also received an apology letter a week and a half after I ordered one of my L920s. Instead of the red plate they emphasized the word FREE. To enjoy a black one for the holidays.
xma1e says:
When i signed up to EE in november using Phones4u, they gave me a voucher. Got my charger a few weeks back and seriously thinking of getting a second.
I thought wireless charging would be a gimmick, but i prefer it to using cables. Plonk n go.

European stocks snapped a three-day winning streak on Wednesday, as investors adopted a cautious stance ahead of central bank meetings tomorrow and the U.S. jobs report set to be released Friday. Trading volumes slipped due to the Independence Day holiday in the U.S.
The Euro Stoxx 50 index of eurozone bluechip stocks is declining 0.45 percent, while the Stoxx Europe 50 index, which includes some major U.K. companies, is losing 0.24 percent. Around Europe, Switzerland's SMI, the U.K.'s FTSE 100, the German DAX and France's CAC 40 are down between 0.14 percent and 0.48 percent.
Commodities such as copper and crude recouped some of their early losses, while the euro stayed weaker against the dollar and yen amid the release of eurozone retail sales data. Retail sales in eurozone increased unexpectedly in May, partly reversing previous month's decline, the latest figures from Eurostat showed.
Banks are pacing the decliners after the European Central Bank yesterday tightened the limit on the amount of government guaranteed debt that banks can use as collateral in return for loans.
German lenders Deutsche Bank and Commerezbank are down 1-2 percent, while French bank BNP Paribas is down 1.5 percent. Standard Chartered Plc is declining 0.7 percent in London after unveiling a strategy to grow its Islamic banking business in Malaysia and across its global footprint.
German chemical and pharmaceutical firm Bayer is moving down 0.55 percent after its CropScience agricultural unit signed a pact to acquire California-based peer AgraQuest Inc for $425 million plus milestone payments.
British telecom giant Vodafone Plc is moving up 0.9 percent. The company is in advanced talks with Hutchison Whampoa for a merger of the two companies' Irish telecoms infrastructure, the Financial Times reported.
Shares of Avia Health Informatics Plc plunged around 16.4 percent after the healthcare support software specialist reported a wider pre-tax loss for its fiscal year 2012 despite increased revenues.
In economic news, the service sector in the euro area contracted less than initially estimated in June, data from a survey by Markit Economics showed. The purchasing managers' index (PMI) for the service sector came in at 47.1 in the month, up from 46.8 recorded in the preliminary estimates. The latest figure was also higher than May's reading of 46.7.
Elsewhere, Asian markets ended mostly higher on speculation of more stimulus measures from the Chinese and European central banks. The ECB and the Bank of England are scheduled to announce their policy decisions tomorrow and investors are seemingly banking on them to deliver further stimulus measures to help spur weak global growth. The Chinese and Hong Kong markets slipped marginally.

The Woman. The Hound. The Fall. The multi-award winning 21st Century Sherlock Holmes returns for its eagerly awaited second season.
Sherlock Holmes, an analytical deduction fanatic, is helping the police out with their enquiries for fun, when he runs into potential flatmate Dr John Watson, fresh from serving in the war in Afghanistan and sporting a limp. In spite of Watson's initial scepticism, Holmes' brilliant mind and dangerous lifestyle offer the stimulation he craves, and the two quickly forge an alliance. Sherlock provides the inspired leaps of intellect, while Watson keeps his friend's flights of fancy grounded - it's the perfect partnership. Uplifting, action-packed and highly entertaining, with sparky scripts and unforgettable performances by the two leads, this is Sherlock for a new generation.

Question: I was wondering whether your affection for Last Resort had waned since the pilot. I've seen comments that the show has been uneven, but I've been absolutely hooked. I'm not trying to play the comparison game with some of Shawn Ryan's other excellent series (The Shield, Terriers) because maybe it isn't quite up to that incredible level, but I still think it's the best new show of the season read more
On a night that's hardly starved for appealing programming, two of the season's most enjoyable and intriguing pilots make their bow.
First, the underdog: ABC's Last Resort (8/7c), an electrifying military-gone-amok thriller that bridges the macho hardware of Tom Clancy with the suspense of paranoid Cold War classics from the '60s like Fail Safe and Seven Days in May. (Look them up if you've never seen them.) This series is like nothing else on network TV, which is why one's first impulse is to pray for its survival. It's also airing in what has become one of ABC's more treacherous time periods, and beyond the fact that there are very attractive people in the cast (starting with Felicity alum Scott Speedman) and the story is heavily serialized, it has nearly nothing in common tonally with the night's sudsy anchor, Grey's Anatomy.

Benedict Cumberbatch has denied criticizing Jonny Lee Miller for his new role on CBS' Elementary."I am both bemused and upset at this misquote," the Sherlock star explained in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. "I never said that Johnny took the job for the paycheck nor did I ask him not to do it. What I said is I would have preferred not to be in the situation where we will again be compared because we are friends. I know for a fact his motivations were to do with the quality of the script and the challenges of this exceptional role." read more
