There have been dramatic changes occurring in higher education over the last decade. For instance, colleges and universities have expanded online programs to appeal to non-traditional students. Even though these programs have been initiated with little public discussion, it is laudable that they target students who work full time, cannot afford attending a campus, are raising children, or are older than students who enter college directly from high school. In addition to the non-traditional students, appeals are made to youth to pursue degrees at home. For example, the television commercial showing a young woman in her pajamas declaring that she is taking a course online is one kind of metaphor for this trajectory.In addition, powerful and wealthy lobby groups have sought to transform higher education in ways that promote their political agendas and ideologies. They have pressured universities, public and private, to downsize or eliminate certain academic programs, particularly in the liberal arts. Media education commentators and these same special interests have advocated universities to further prioritize so-called STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), mostly at the expense of the humanities and social sciences.
To facilitate the transformation of higher education wealthy individuals, such as the Koch Brothers, have bankrolled the hiring of certain faculty or the construction of certain research and instructional programs that promote so-called "free market' economics.Also, in an increasingly competitive market for students, universities have built upscale dormitories that include exercise facilities, high-end food courts, and high-tech classroom buildings, all to increase enrollment. Increasingly simplistic metrics are being used to determine student wants and needs, performance potential, and post- graduate job satisfaction. Academic programs "infantilize" students and professors by monitoring greater facets of the instructional process.
Furthermore, with a forty-year downward trajectory of support for public higher education, universities have been shifting more toward contract research: high tech military research and corporate funding for new generations of commercial products in agriculture, technology, transportation, and drugs. Some universities have prioritized research that would lead to commercial success.These trends are not surprising given the truism that the educational process since the industrial revolution, particularly higher education, has always served the needs and interests of dominant sectors of the economy. During the 1960s Clark Kerr, President, University of California, argued that the "multiversity" was needed to support American capitalism and to aid in the development of US national security in a world threatened by international communism.
However, there also is a long tradition in higher education that contradicts the view that institutions should just serve the interests of economic and political elites. Universities have promoted the study of the humanities, have stimulated the development of curricula that connect scientific theory to human beings and nature, and have encouraged discussions about how to create more just and humane societies. To protect this more hallowed conception of the university, faculty, through collective action, were able to popularize and institutionalize the idea of "academic freedom." Academic freedom defended the right to free and unbridled debate on issues of relevance to scholarship and public discourse. In addition, to academic freedom, the American Association of University Professors and other organizations of educators have called for "shared governance," arguing that the faculty should have a right and an obligation to participate in decisions about the educational and research activities of the university.From time to time, the model of the university promoted by economic elites, boards of trustees at universities, and many university administrators has clashed with the ideal of the university as a place where more fundamental societal issues are discussed and debated. Recently, boards of trustees and university presidents have been making decisions of import to educational and research, like those suggested above, without faculty discussions. Shared governance is being replaced by non-transparent decision-making by the few.
Two examples from Purdue University are illustrative: Purdue University's unsuccessful bid to help manage the Los Alamos Nuclear Laboratory and the purchase and incorporation of the online Kaplan University into Purdue Global University. In both cases, it was declared after the fact that transparency, that is having an open conversation about the strengths and weaknesses of the university commitments, would violate the secrecy that was necessary during critical negotiations with government bodies or corporations. While this may be correct it is also possible that the Purdue decision-makers knew that the commitments they were ready to embark upon might be opposed by many faculty and students.In the Los Alamos case, Purdue was to partner with the Bechtel Corporation which had been a co-manager of the nuclear facility. The National Laboratory announced it was opening a bid for a new contract because under Bechtel's management health and safety at the nuclear site had been compromised (See Rebecca Moss, "Two Leading Bidders for Lucrative Los Alamos Lab Contract Have Checkered Safety Records," Pro Publica, May 8, 2018). Also, data had shown that Bechtel, a leading global engineering firm, had incurred criticisms for contracted work around the world, including in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Bolivia (See Matthew Brunwasser, "Steamrolled," Foreign Policy, January 30, 2015). Moreover, the Los Alamos bid would require serious conversation about the use of nuclear power as an energy source, building new generations of nuclear weapons, and the growth and expansion of nuclear weapons programs around the world. Discussions in the university community about whether Purdue University should bid on the Los Alamos contract would have been important for the intellectual integrity and the public face of the university.
The belated public announcement of Purdue's acquisition of the Kaplan online university became controversial in part because there had been media reports in recent years of Kaplan's failures in educational performance and job placement, coupled with the generation of enormous student debt incurred by Kaplan students. But these issues were not part of discussions raised in the university community until after the Kaplan/Purdue connection was announced. And there was little opportunity to discuss the efficacy of online education, the appropriate mix of online and on-campus combinations (so-called blended programs) and whether the state of Indiana should support the new Purdue Global or allocate resources to make regional campuses and technical colleges more user friendly for non-traditional students (See Doug Lederman, "Online Options give Adults Access, But Outcomes Lag," Inside Higher Education, June 20, 2018.)Since there was no full airing of the issues around Kaplan, online education, blended education, the appropriate consumers of new educational programs, and who the faculty teaching in online programs would be, confusion and skepticism remain (except for statements from the Purdue Administration and members of the Board of Trustees celebrating this new venture).
Nancy MacLean, in Democracy in Chains, argues that special interests advocate a whole host of public policies, about privatizing public institutions, deregulating the economy, and downsizing social safety nets, which are not popular with majorities of people. So, she says, their advocates, have contrived to circumvent democratic input and thus eliminate opposition.In sum, higher education in recent years has experienced a substantial shift from transparency and shared governance with faculty and students to non-transparency in decision-making. In addition, decisions are made about trends in higher education with declining input from the public. Non-transparency breeds discontent among faculty, public cynicism, and a growing awareness that higher education is less about the public good and more about private aggrandizement.

Save Your Time and Money by Shopping at Target!
Being a mom is stressful! We typically are the ones running everything that happens in the background. The things that usually go forgotten by everyone else….until you are all out of toilet paper. Then who is the one that is having to run to the store? Mom! Luckily, I have found a way around this. Below you will find out exactly how I save time and money by utilizing Target subscriptions!
Being a Mom Is the Equivalent to 2.5 Full-Time Jobs
Say what? Yes…that's really a thing the New York Post said, and I believe it! This is a great explanation as to why we feel like we are constantly losing our minds.
My Brain Is Mush
In any given moment my brain is hosting where the kids are, if everyone is safe, do we have toilet paper, have I gotten the mail recently, what groceries do we have, what groceries do we need, what are the plans for this week, does the dog have food, and so on. Can you relate to this?
It's definitely an overwhelming state to be in. No matter how many lists, calendars, and reminders you have; it still feels overwhelming.
I may be compensated through my affiliate links in this post, but all opinions are my own. Thank you for your support!
Using Subscriptions to Make Life Easier
One thing I have found to help release some space in my brain? Subscriptions!! I swear by a variety of subscriptions. I use them for food, household items, dog food, etc… One of my most used subscription services is through Target…shocking right? 😉
I NEVER have to worry about running out of soaps, toilet paper, paper towels, diapers, wipes, toothpaste, etc… and I save an additional 5% (and probably more since it cuts my Target runs in half). In addition to saving 5%, you will get an extra 5% off with your debit or credit REDcard and free shipping. Basically, you are getting paid to shop at Target 😉
The only partly tricky part is estimating how often you will need these items sent to you. There have been times when I have too much of something, but luckily Target emails you a few days before shipment and you can easily change it. This is easy to do on the computer or your phone; which makes quick delivery changes easy to do!
A Very Quick and Easy Step by Step List on How to Use Target Subscription Services
- Go to Target.com
- Type what you are looking for in the search field (example: diapers)
- Select the brand/type you are looking for
- On the right-hand side, you will see an option of "one-time order" or "subscribe and save". This will only show up if this product is available for a subscription. Some items are now available by a new option called Restock.
- Select subscription service
- Select frequency
- Click "add subscription to cart"
- Select "continue shopping" or "view cart and checkout"
And that's it! It's so easy and so convenient! Your subscription will be shipped out immediately, and then reoccurring shipments will be sent out per your requested frequency.

Targeting specific pages
The key of using your surveys is displaying them to the right customers. One of the simplest ways of differentiating customers by their behaviour is showing surveys on certain pages. This lets you reach only these users, that are worth it.
For example:
- when someone scrolls through items in your shop it's the best moment to ask what products they search for so you can boost your sales! 💸
- you can inquire if everything is clear when a client reads the knowledge base article to make it more clear
If you want to display survey on a specific page, go to Settings > Where should the survey appear? and pick Display on chosen pages
Here you can choose between displaying on certain pages or avoid doing it. Also, we give you a choice on how to define the pages: you can choose the group of pages that contain a string of symbols, start or end with it. Moreover, we let you use your custom RegEx (use it only when you or your developer knows Regular Expressions). Please read this article to read more about specific conditions and how to use them:
The red button on the side of a rule lets you delete it.
It's also possible to Close survey when URL changes which is useful for Single Page Apps. To do that, enable the checkbox at the bottom of this section.

Trapped in a framework that promotes distrust
The world is becoming increasingly digital and we're powerless to stop it. We shop online, we pay our bills on our smartphone or computer, and our medical records and personal data is stored digitally. But do we really trust that the information stored is accurate? Can we be sure our digital transactions won't be compromised? Do we trust that our personal information is safe and secure? Are the things we see and read even real? How do we know? These questions and concerns have given rise to a concept known as Digital Trust. But what does it really mean?
Digital Trust can be defined as the process to establish and manage the myriad of digital interactions and relationships between governments, businesses, individuals and things. Digital Trust is not only about trusting the digital transactions themselves, but also trusting the digital landscape in which they function and operate. Trusting digital content used to make decisions, as well as trusting that technology interactions will have a safe, predictable outcome irrespective of the application or purpose, is all part of Digital Trust.
After decades of using information technology, we have never stopped to question the fundamental principles the IT framework was built on. Challenges such as security, privacy, poor data quality and integrity, multiple unauthenticated identities and others have been addressed by building tools, workarounds and fixes -- rather than questioning the core principals and repairing the foundation. After decades of rapid technology development and evolution, we are trapped in a framework that promotes Digital Distrust.

Document / Publication
Extant research has explored the effect of natural hazards on the risk of armed conflict, but very few studies have examined how conflict dynamics affect disaster risk reduction (DRR), including climate change adaptation. This is surprising given the empirical evidence that indicates how often disasters and armed conflicts collide.
To better understand the impact of armed conflict on DRR, this paper develops a conceptual typology that is based on rebel groups' territorial control and on the strength of informal institutions. It documents three main political orders amid conflict: rebel stability; informal stability; and fragmented landscape. These wartime political orders will have different effects on DRR and other development programmes, revealing the importance of desegregating armed conflict to facilitate tailor‐made and more efficient interventions. The paper provides empirical evidence from Mali and the Philippines that illustrates the influence of these wartime political orders on DRR programmes.

On Monday, August 12, 2019 families will receive an email from your child's homeroom teacher for the 2019-2020 school year. InfoSnap (returning student registration) must be completed to receive the email.
When students arrive to Collins Express/Meet the Teacher the student should report directly to the learning community hallway and the homeroom shared with you via email. We will have individuals in the gym assisting families with InfoSnap registration and then with L-C/Homeroom assignment.
In order to receive your child's homeroom and learning community information, you will need to complete your student's InfoSnap registration.
The district sent emails to all families with a direct link to your InfoSnap registration.
We will have computers located in our gym for parents to complete InfoSnap registration prior to going to the homeroom classroom.
Your student's InfoSnap code and website link was sent to you via email in July.
I didn't receive the email...
- Please check your spam/junk email for the district email.
- If your email address changed and you didn't share the change with the school you will have not received the email.
- Snapcodes are unique each year and are linked to each student's personal information. For reasons of privacy and security Conroe Independent School District has chosen to be the only ones to hand out snapcodes.
- The school included your student's snapcode (15 characters) on their original correspondence with you, giving directions on how to fill out your Verification of Student Registration.
- If you have misplaced or did not receive the student's snapcode, please contact your school directly to obtain it.
School Supplies
If you are purchasing supplies the list is below.
Other important numbers to know by heart include parent cell numbers. Thank you for also working to commit those numbers to memory as well.
As we begin an exciting new school year, I want to remind everyone of the importance of school attendance and of arriving to school on time. In addition, children who arrive late to school miss the important groundwork that is laid by teachers at the beginning of the day. The instruction and learning that occur on a daily basis in the classroom is our central mission. Parents who make regular school attendance and punctuality a high priority are helping their children learn to accept responsibility, which is an important lesson for a successful life.
N.E.A.T. Kids—Never Ever Absent or Tardy
Awarded to students each nine weeks who reported to each day of school and all classes on time. More detailed information soon to come.
A student is tardy if they are not in the classroom by the 8:50 bell.
A student tardy to class will:
· Have a tardy marked in the computer
· A note placed in the student planner by the teacher
· After the 3rd, 4th and 5th tardy a warning email will be sent home
· On the 6th tardy the student will be assigned a before school detention
· The tardy counts starts new each nine weeks
Some things to remember:
· Dropping students off by 8:30 a.m. is the best way to ensure a student has time to:
· Put instruments away
· Visit Locker
· Participate in KCOL Broadcast, Pledges, and Moment of Silence
· Be in their classroom prior to the 8:50 bell
Morning Drop Off
Please remember students should not be dropped off before 8 a.m.
No adult supervision is present before 8 a.m. Only honor performance groups with scheduled practice are permitted early arrival.
Car-Line Rules and Procedures
· Cars are required to stop behind the stop sign and not proceed forward until the stop sign is moved approximately 3:55 p.m..
· Parents may not park in the small visitors parking lot and wait for your child.
· Be courteous to those waiting in the car line and not pull around those waiting and "cut" in line before we call for car riders.
· We do not want cars moving in the parking lot when we dismiss walkers and bikers for all students' safety.
· Students leaving early due to appointments MUST be picked up by 3:40 p.m. so there is no interruption to the dismissal process.
· Walkers and bikers are dismissed at 4:00 p.m.
· For student safety—walkers and bikers should only cross the street using cross walks. · · Children should pause and watch traffic carefully to assure it is safe to cross.
· Car riders are dismissed at 4:05 p.m.
· For afternoon pickup process, please approach the driveway from Woodlands Parkway to Shadowbend turning right into driveway. NO LEFT Hand Turn in the PM. This will avoid traffic congestion from the Research direction.
· Parents may not park within the school zone on the sides of Shadowbend to pick up students. This disrupts traffic flow and it is unsafe for children and adults to be on the busy road.
Checking Out Early
Students leaving early for appointments at the end of the day must be signed out by 3:40 p.m.; we cannot call for students during dismissal.
Students will be called for dismissal upon parent's arrival in the front office. We cannot call for students prior to your arrival.
Bad Weather Dismissal
Collins Dismissal Procedures During Inclement Weather:
· Collins will make a call by 3:45 p.m. to announce a "rainy day dismissal"
· Bike riders and walkers will NOT be allowed to bike or walk home during extremely severe rain or when lightning occurs within 5 miles of Collins.
· Families of bike riders and walkers should have a predetermined plan that when heavy rain/lightening is present, the student will ride the school bus or be picked up in the car line.
Bus Transportation
Registration for Bus Transportation
Students who were registered for bus service last year are automatically renewed each year, so only students who are new or have never registered for service will need to register for bus service. http://bus.conroeisd.net/RegisterTrans.aspx
In the coming days, CISD transportation will open the website to confirm and check all students bus information (pick up / drop off times and locations). https://routeinfo.conroeisd.net/infolocatorrc/info.aspx?OrgGuid=ORG-CONROE&profileguid=Conroe_1920
Bus Rider Transportation Tags
Any student riding the bus will be issued a bus tag to be placed on the outside of their backpack. Student's tag will be scanned as the board the bus to leave each afternoon. If a student loses their tag during the year the child should let his/her homeroom teacher know immediately so that we can provide a replacement.
Bus Dismissal At The End Of School
Students will be dismissed from class to report to their assigned bus. As buses arrive the bus number will appear on the screen in each homeroom. It is the student's responsibility to monitor the screen and leave class to load their bus.
Changing Buses
Students may NOT ride another bus except in emergencies and only with the permission of Collins Administration. Parents must submit a written request at least 24 hours in advance of the change. Administration must have time to verify the change with both sets of parents. Riding home with a friend on Friday to spend the night is not a change that will be approved. Once approved the school will notify transportation and the bus driver.
A message from Conroe ISD Transportation Department
If your child has been registered for bus transportation for this school year, you may access your child's bus information online through our Transportation Portal application. The Portal can be accessed by typing routeinfo.conroeisd.net into your web browser. When the page opens, please select Student Eligibility at the bottom of the page. Please have your child's student ID number and birthdate ready in order to access this information. Routes will continue to be updated as more students register for school. Please check back often to see if there are any changes to your child's route.
For more detailed information, please go to the Conroe ISD Transportation home page at http://www.conroeisd.net/transportation/
Transportation Changes
Transportation changes should be communicated between the parent and the child prior to coming to school for the day. Should you feel your child needs a reminder you may contact the front office, prior to 3:15, for notice to be delivered to your child. We understand that an occasion may arise when it is necessary to make a last minute transportation change. These last minute changes should be reserved for emergency situations only. For the safety of our children, these changes should be made before 3:15 p.m.
Lunch & Breakfast
Beginning on the first day of school, parents may send money (cash or check) for their child to set up a lunch account. My School Bucks in an online account that may continued to be used from year to year or a new account set up at https://www.myschoolbucks.com/ver2/login/getmain?requestAction=home A Parent Access Account allows parents to see the amount of money available to the child. Please visit: http://www.conroeisd.net/department/child-nutrition/ for menu options and more information. If a student's account runs out of funds he/she will only be allowed to charge one meal. After the one charge a student will be provided an "alternate meal". Students are given a reminder to take home to parents when their account is low or out of funds.

Outdoor Classroom Dry Erase Board - Eagle Project
My Eagle Project of building two dry erase boards for the outdoor classroom was definitely a group and community effort! There was quite a bit of research and brainstorming with Lowe's and Mike Forenza, a Scoutmaster in our troop who is a carpenter to come up with a plan and products that would be weather resistant.
Lowe's and Home Depot were both very generous by assisting with funding. Lowe's donated all of the weather treated wood a $300 value and Home Depot gave us a $100 gift card to help with hardware. We were very fortunate to find a skin of porcelain that is mounted on galvanized steel to make the dry erase board both weather resistant and magnetic.
The remainder of the project was funded by our boy scout "Flags Across America" fundraiser. It also took a crew to put together the dry erase boards with Mike Forenza, his son, my Dad and myself doing all of the cutting and prep work. Scouts in my troop and Collins Alumni, Adam Murphy, Zac Guido, Alex Guido, Evan Roberts assisted my dad and myself in putting them all together.
We are proud of the work that we have accomplished and happy to be a part of the Collins Intermediate outdoor classroom.

Outdoor clothing company Berghaus said it has made "significant and sustained" investments into building its brand, contributing to its annual losses for 2013 widening to £8m.
The Sunderland-headquartered firm, launched in the North East in 1966, posted a nominal drop in sales in 2013 – of 2.6% to £54.6m – but its profit and loss account revealed a huge pre-tax loss of £7.8m, with the loss for the financial year reaching £8m.
However, the firm said the results for 2013 are broadly in line with expectation, representing a challenging year for the firm as well as heavy investments being made as part of its ambition to grow the brand globally.
The company, part of the Pentland group, said achieving that goal requires "significant, sustained investment into infrastructure, product and marketing", and that the sums of money ploughed into those areas are now beginning to bear fruit.
During 2013, the UK outdoor market stabilised against the upheaval of 2012, but a strong performance in Japan and growth in Germany, where an office was opened in Munich, and the Nordic region contributed to an increase in international turnover, which rose from £4.8m to £5.5m.
In addition, the business has successfully continued to open up new markets around the world, including the competitive market in the US, where Berghaus products are now available for the first time in over a decade.
Outdoor footwear firm Brasher is now being fully integrated into the business, a move which combines two footwear collections, both marketed by Berghaus, opening up opportunities for growth in the UK and further afield.
Integrating the business led to duplication of some roles, which led to a reduction in the average monthly headcount from 181 to 150. The firm is, however, currently recruiting new workers in other areas of the group.
Interim brand president Richard Leedham said the firm has also reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining its global headquarters in the North East by signing a new long lease on its premises in Sunderland.
Investment is also being made into refurbishing the offices, first taken on in 1999, with work due to be completed next year.
Mr Leedham added: "Berghaus is the UK's leading performance outdoor brand and now also has an excellent reputation and an established business in many key markets around the world.
"We believe that the brand has huge further potential and with the support of Pentland, we are committed to investing in it to ensure that this is realised."

My vorbisFile.dll seems to be causing a crash after installing the SannyBuilder and Cleo libs. Any ideas on this? Running retail version of SA from DVD in a DVD/RW drive not using a NOCD Crack, of note I have been using CLEO this past week using a cracked version of the game no problem, decided I liked it and dropped the cash for it to support Rockstar. I hope I don't have to go back to using a NOCD crack. My CLEO radio never worked with the crack.
EDIT* Just noticed using v2.00 english of SA. Not sure the cracked version I was using, may have something to do with it.
Last edited by RaH (02-05-2008 01:49)
Bad news for you: version 2.00 isn't supported and never will to. To continue using CLEO you should replace your gta_sa.exe with the NO-CD version, which is v1.0 I guess.
Yeah, did that about 10 mins after posting last night, after the reinstall a weeks worth of save games wouldn't work with v2.00 so I uninstalled it and reinstalled the cracked version. I still own the game so I'm not sweating it. Also can't get the CLEO radio working under this version, using hoodlum nocd v1.00.
vorbisFiledll.dll and vorbisHooked.dll along with CLEO folder in main GTA:SA dir. Other CLEO mods work fine.

Have tried direct links to mp3's and also tried using the carot you had in the readme. Went without, assumed it's a difference in OS due to language difference.
Is there anyway to enable logging so I can track why this isn't working yet other mods do. Or could it be due to a difference in version files?

Supreme Court of Hawai'i
February 22, 2016
MARK H. K. GREER, Respondent/Plaintiff-Appellee,v.ROSALYN H. BAKER, Petitioner/Defendant-Appellant, and STATE OF HAWAI'I, Respondent/Defendant-Appellee
S. Chin, Attorney General; James E. Halverson and Maria Cook,
Deputy Attorneys General, for petitioner Rosalyn Baker.
K. MacKintosh and Michael J. Green for respondent Mark H.K.
C.J., NAKAYAMA, McKENNA, POLLACK, AND WILSON, JJ.
Mark E.
Recktenwald, C.J.
case arises from a lawsuit filed by Mark H. K. Greer, the
former Chief of the General Medical & Preventative Services
Division at the Hawai'i State Department of Health (DOH).
On September 23, 2014, Greer filed a non-vehicle tort
complaint in the Circuit Court of the First Circuit against
the State of Hawai'i and Senator Rosalyn H. Baker.
Greer's complaint alleged that Baker eliminated his
position in retaliation for whistleblowing activities. Greer
raised three claims for relief: Count I--violation of the
Hawai'i Whistleblowers Protection Act (HWPA) (Hawai'i
Revised Statutes (HRS) § 378-61 to 378-70); Count
II--intentional infliction of emotional distress (IIED); and
Count III--negligent infliction of emotional distress (NIED).
moved to dismiss the Complaint on the grounds that: (1) she
is immune from suit based on legislative immunity; (2) the
claims were untimely under the applicable statute of
limitations; and (3) the Complaint failed to state a claim
upon which relief can be granted. Following a
hearing,[1] the circuit court denied the motion to
dismiss based on legislative immunity. The court granted
Baker's motion as to the HWPA and NIED claims, but denied
it as to the IIED claim.
appealed to the Intermediate Court of Appeals from the
circuit court's order granting in part and denying in
part her motion to dismiss. Baker asserted that, based on
Abercrombie v. McClung, 54 Haw. 376, 507 P.2d 719
(1973), the order was an immediately appealable final order
to the extent it denied her defense of legislative immunity.
The ICA dismissed the appeal for lack of appellate
jurisdiction, concluding that the final judgment requirement
set forth in Jenkins v. Cades Schutte Fleming &
Wright, 76 Hawai'i 115, 869 P.2d 1334 (1994),
overruled Abercrombie, and that no exceptions for
appealability were satisfied. Baker timely petitioned this
court for a writ of certiorari to review the ICA's
conclude that the ICA has jurisdiction to hear Baker's
appeal because the circuit court's order is an
immediately appealable collateral order. The denial of
Baker's absolute legislative immunity claim conclusively
determined the disputed question, resolved an important issue
separate from the merits of the action, and would be
effectively unreviewable on appeal. See Abrams v. Cades,
Schutte, Fleming & Wright, 88 Hawai'i 319, 322, 966
P.2d 631, 634 (1998). We therefore vacate the ICA's order
dismissing Baker's appeal for lack of jurisdiction, and
remand to the ICA for determination of the appeal on the
Circuit Court Proceedings
September 23, 2014, Greer, the former Chief of the General
Medical & Preventative Services Division at DOH, filed a
non-vehicle tort complaint in the circuit court against the
State and Baker. Baker is the Senator for the Sixth State
Senate District (South and West Maui).
Complaint alleged that Baker introduced a budget amendment to
eliminate Greer's position in retaliation for his
whistleblowing activities regarding Medicaid fraud. The
Complaint further alleged that Baker, outside her legislative
capacity, colluded with the head of the DOH to have him
Complaint raised three claims for relief: Count I--violation
of the HWPA (Hawai'i Revised Statutes (HRS) § 378-61
to 378-70); Count II--IIED; and Count III--NIED.
subsequently filed a Motion to Dismiss the Complaint based
primarily on legislative immunity. Baker also moved to
dismiss the HWPA claim on statute of limitations grounds and
because Baker was not Greer's employer. Further, Baker
moved to dismiss the IIED and NIED claims based on the
applicable statute of limitations and the lack of an
underlying cognizable claim.
order entered on December 24, 2014, the circuit court granted
in part and denied in part the motion to dismiss. As
pertinent to the issue before this court, the circuit court
denied Baker's motion to dismiss based on legislative
immunity. The circuit court ruled as follows:
1. Defendant Baker's claim of legislative immunity is
2. Defendant Baker's claim that the statute of
limitations has expired is denied.
3. Count I based on violation of HRS § 378-62, the
Hawai'i Whistleblowers Protection Act (" HWPA"
), is dismissed as against Defendant Baker because Defendant
Baker was not Plaintiff's employer. Count I remains
against the State.
4. Count II based on intentional infliction of emotional
distress (" IIED" ) is not dismissed against either
Defendant Baker and the State.
5. Count III based on NIED is dismissed as against Defendant
Baker, but remains against the State. Plaintiff has alleged
an underlying cognizable claim against the State in Count I,
based on the violation of the HWPA.
In sum,
the IIED claim is the only remaining claim against Baker. All
three claims remain against the State.
response to the court's ruling, Baker filed a motion for
leave to file interlocutory appeal and for stay pending
appeal pursuant to HRS § 641-1(b).[2] While Baker's
motion was pending, Baker filed a notice of appeal from the
court's order granting in part and denying in part
Baker's motion to dismiss.
court denied Baker's motion for leave, ruling that the
interlocutory appeal would not result in the speedy
termination of the litigation for " all parties."
ICA Appeal
filed a statement of jurisdiction with the ICA, asserting
that the December 24, 2014 interlocutory order was an
appealable final order to the extent it denied her defense of
legislative immunity based on Abercrombie, 54 Haw.
at 380-81, 507 P.2d at 721-22 (denial of motion for summary
judgment based on legislative immunity was final and
appealable). Baker noted that " cases from around the
country show that a denial of legislative immunity . . . is
immediately appealable[.]" A number of Baker's cited
cases relied on the collateral order doctrine.
jurisdictional statement argued that his Complaint alleged
behavior outside the exercise of Baker's legislative
functions and, therefore, the actions alleged in the
Complaint are not afforded the protection of immediate
appellate review established by Abercrombie. Greer did not
argue that Abercrombie was overruled or did not apply.
the opening brief was filed but before the answering and
reply briefs, the ICA, by a 2-1 majority, dismissed the
appeal for lack of appellate jurisdiction. Greer v.
Baker, No. CAAP-15-34 (App. May 26, 2015) (Order). The
majority noted that Abercrombie did not cite any statutory
authority to support its holding regarding appellate
jurisdiction, thereby suggesting that the Hawai'i Supreme
Court may ...

Drill Rush (ドリルラッシュ, Doriru Rasshu; formerly named the "Triple Dash") is the name of Meta Knight's Side Special Move in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Meta Knight leaps backward via a brief backflip, and whirls forward in the fashion of a drill with his blade outstretched.
If he hits an enemy, he performs a combination lasting up to 2 seconds, knocking Meta Knight's opponent upward. Also, when finished, he pulls back a bit. Meta Knight can also change the course of the attack, allowing it to be used as a recovery. After using the attack, Meta Knight becomes helpless. Of all of Meta Knight's Special Moves, this move gives the most vertical distance of any of them.
|Meta Knight's Special Moves
|Standard Special
|Mach Tornado
|Side Special
|Drill Rush
|Up Special
|Shuttle Loop
|Down Special
|Dimensional Cape
|Final Smash
|Galaxia Darkness
|Darkness Illusion
It may be derived from Kirby's Running-B move when he has the Master Ability (which he has when he uses Meta Knight's sword) in Kirby and the Amazing Mirror. It also somewhat resembles the barrel roll he does for a Quick Spin attack in Kirby Air Ride.
Drill Rush Canceling
It is possible to cancel the ending lag of the attack by making the end hit the edge, allowing it to be used to rush opponents in stages such as Battlefield.

Sporshohin: A Tale of Devising Visible Light Based Low-Cost Robust Touchless Input DeviceTusher Chakraborty, Md. Nasim, Sakib Md. Bin Malek, Md Taksir Hasan Majumder Sami, Mohammed Samiul Saeef, A. B. M. Alim Al Islam
In recent times, migrating from touch-based input devices to touchless input devices has become one of the major research problems considering the health hazards exposed in public usages (e.g., information kiosk) of the touch-based devices. The problem still remains mostly open, since a solution having the properties of being low-cost, low power consuming, robust, and easy-to-use, is yet to be proposed in the literature. As a remedy to this situation, in this paper, we propose a visible light based touchless input device (named Sporshohin), retaining all the properties mentioned above, for ensuring ubiquitous usage. Sporshohin recognizes predefined gestures performed by the user, through an underlying mechanism that exploits well-known reflection model over the visible light spectrum. The underlying mechanism is intelligent enough to guarantee robustness against varying environmental lighting conditions and undefined noisy gestures. Real implementation, involving interaction with diversified users, confirms high accuracy and usability along with existence of all the above mentioned properties. We show the emulation of Sporshohin as an input interface for an information kiosk. The attributes of Sporshohin exhibit its prospect of being used in diversified applications going beyond information kiosks.

Invaluable advice to help you keep painting despite the difficultiesSharon Douglas
I have loved drawing and painting all of my life. As soon as I was able to grip a pencil, all I ever wanted to do was draw.
Throughout my teens, I suffered severe back problems, which left me bed bound or in hospital for much of the time. At 30 I developed cancer, from which I recovered, and have since been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, which means some days I'm in bed and others in a wheelchair. Through it all, drawing and painting have been my therapy.
Over the years I have made alterations to my equipment and working methods, and through
trial and error, my husband and I have devised aids to help me to paint more freely. My aim here is to help other painters, who may find it difficult to keep up with this most therapeutic and enjoyable of hobbies.
Brush modifications
A twist tie is wrapped around my brush then the remainder is wrapped around my wrist so I can't drop it (above). Twist ties are found in the DIY sections of most 'pound shops'. You can buy shorter ones for curling your hair, but they are much shorter. They're fine if you just need to wrap them around a pencil or brush, but if you need the wrist holder type, you will need the longer twist ties.
Aids to help you grip your brushes
And using a twist tie to secure the brush to the wrist.
Sharon shares much more useful advice, based on experience, in her full article which you can find in the May 2013 issue of Leisure Painter

Volunteer Stories
People volunteer for all sorts of reasons, and get all sorts of things out of the experience. Here we share some of the stories from some of the people who have been part of the TLC team.
Pasha arrived in the UK, seeking sanctuary from a dangerous situation in Iran. Witnessing Pasha's journey from asylum seeker to refugee has been a very humbling experience.
Pasha began volunteering with TLC the first day he came into the cafe. Sharing his passion for cooking, and recipes from home, Pasha soon became a well loved member of the team.
His confidence in English grew the more he volunteered in the cafe, and made many friends, as well as bringing friends he made from college and the refugee community in Leeds.
Having recently been given refugee status, Pasha's life can now begin to journey forwards again. He hopes to continue his studies that were unfortunately cut short in Iran, looking to complete his post graduate Psychology degree.
Maxine has lived in Leeds most of her life. She now lives by herself and sees the key to staying fit and active is by being around younger people, and swimming outdoors daily (yes, seriously!).
Volunteering has always been a part of Maxine's life, and she got involved at TLC through knowing Anna and Pippa. She loves meeting new people and learning about their life stories. She values to cafe ethos of being a place for people to talk and listen..
Most often seen entering the cafe with a freshly baked cake, Maxine is North Leeds' Mary Berry!
Paul is Russian and was a student in an English class in a room next door to the cafe. After a lesson, quite early on in the course, he asked if he could help out in the cafe. We willingly invited him to put on an apron and get to work. Each week after class, he would don the apron and cook traditional dishes as well as others that we taught him. Paul was an absolutely delightful member of the team and we were all sad to say goodbye when, after a few months, Paul said goodbye as he headed to Manchester to start university.
Back in touch on email, Paul wrote this account of his time with ToastLoveCoffee:
Hi, everyone! Let me just have a quick word about the cafe and how it has helped me over the course of this year. First of all, my name is Paul.I come from one of the most coldest country in the world-Russia.As I arrived at the UK, I felt homesick in the first place due to the fact that Leeds is a diverse city, lots of people from different countries each with their own traditions ,food and customs…it was a challenge. However, I happened on the TLC CAFE within some time and found this place very comfortable and friendly. As a matter of fact ,the cafe is a great place to make friends ,especially when you are new to the country as the staff and visitors are always welcome to give you a piece of advice and support you. I started volunteering there later on and, undoubtedly, it was a great experience of teamwork. I would recommend everyone to visit this place and tell your friends to bring more people.The bigger the cafe, the stronger we are as a community!

Author Harry Helms spoke about top secret government installations and the types of clandestine work that go on there. While he didn't uncover direct evidence of UFO activity at Nevada's Area 51, he did find indications that a secret military spaceflight program has been developed at this location. The program may involve a "mothership," the size of a 747 that can hold and release a smaller plane. Testing on unmanned aerial craft and next generation Stealth aircraft is also conducted there, he reported.
Wright-Patterson AFB has long been associated with recovered alien craft; its Hangar 18 has been said to house the wreckage of UFO crashes, while the "Blue Room" may hold alien bodies, he detailed. The Plum Island facility near New York City is of concern because infectious agents are tested there, and under some circumstances they might spread beyond their barriers, Helms suggested.
Dugway Proving Grounds in Utah carries out germ warfare experiments, and the anthrax that was used in the mailings to Congress in 2001, was likely intercepted from this facility, he said. Helms also touched on the development of "killer microsatellites" that can knock out orbiting satellites and disrupt communications. The US Space Command based in Colorado Springs coordinates offensive and defensive weapons that could operate in outer space, he added. During the last hour, a special "whistleblower" hotline featured several employees of government facilities sharing their accounts.
SSRI's & Violence
During the first half-hour, Dr. Ann Blake Tracy discussed the role that SSRI's (pharmaceutical antidepressants) may have played in the Virginia Tech shooting. 7-10% of people on these drugs can't metabolize them, she said, and one of the medications, Effexor, lists "homicidal ideation" as one of its side effects.
