Join us for a memorable mountain experience with the bulk of us riding the tram up the mountain and having a delicious potluck dinner. There may be, however, a few hikers who choose to hike up this steeper mountain, join us for dinner then ride the tram down.
5:30 PM to 8:00 PM
6200 South UTA Park n Ride
6570 South Wasatch Blvd, Cottonwood Heights, Utah 84121
You'll find us on the south end of the large parking lot, known as "6200 South Wasatch Park n Ride" Questions? Call or text me at 801-278-5313
Cost to attend
Tram ride. Purchase your ticket upon arrival. Discounts for those older than 65 or younger than 16.
Dinner is not included. This is a potluck event, so bring something delicious to share with the group.
I recommend only stronger seasoned hikers do this hike since you'll start at 4 PM and should arrive between 5:30 - 6:30 PM. Strong, fast hiking friends of mine do this 3 mile hike in 1 1/2 - 2 hours. It's 3000 feet elevation gain starting at 8000 ft. above sea level. Hidden Peak is your destination at 11,000 feet. Those who hike up receive a free ride down the mountain on the tram!
The bulk of our group will take the 6:30 PM TRAM ride up the mountain which is just 10 minutes long and amazing beauty all the way up!
This is subject to change without notice due to conditions beyond our control (i.e. weather, road, trail or canyon conditions). Changes may be made at our 6200 South meeting place prior to leaving. It doesn't happen often but contact me to confirm if/where we are going IF you want to meet us anywhere other than our regular meeting place.
Equipment or Gear
Small blanket or table cloth to help me lay down before spreading all of our food on it. (Optional)
Food item to share with the group - make or bring something easy to carry in a backpack or bag. No coolers allowed in the tram. Some people bring a side salad, pasta dish, appetizer, Asian dish, Italian Dish, chips & salsa, cookies, desserts, treats, salads, turkey roll ups, or ANY thing that sounds good. I just named all the things that sound good to me! I wouldn't recommend alcoholic beverages since many of those coming may not drink. Try to bring something that everyone can enjoy.
Your own plate, utensils and a beverage if you like or just bring water.
Wear long pants.
Bring a warm jacket, hat, gloves if you get cold easily.
Weather at 11,000 feet is definitely cooler than in the valley.
A light chair or blanket to sit on.
This is not a small peak. There's plenty of room for all of us. Also, check out the restaurant on top and purchase something for the group if you like.
Don't bring anything that you can't carry comfortably.
There is still plenty of walking from your car in the parking lot to the tram.
NOTE: If you are dressed warm enough, staying on the peak longer won't be a problem. BRING A JACKET AND DRESS WARMER.
You can always take off a few clothes if you're too hot.

Laughed at my dry/dropper rig, cut it off, and tied on a heavy weighted tungsten bead fly. Plan for the day was to find some still slow pockets and fish it hard. The big fish seemed to be stacked up in these few and far in between pockets.
|Black Locust
And then I took a spill. No real danger in this smallish stream, but was still some slow and careful wading in this fast moving water. My foot stepped on a slick rock and I fell forward getting some water in my waders and soaked my shirt. Had to start a fire to dry out my shirt as would of been a long day in the wind soaking wet. Also had to empty out my waders of the little bit of water that went in. Luckily I carry a flint fire starter.
After warming and drying up, it was back to the brookies. Next came a big brookie that put up one heck of a fight.
|The most colored up brookie of the day.
|Wake Robin.
Overall it was an awesome day, especially with the conditions. Lots of 6 to 8 inch brookies caught and a lot over 10 inches caught. Really unreal. Thanks for reading.

How To Choose The Right Tires
Tires are usually one the most important parts on your car. Having bad tires can adversely affect the handling of your car and make the ride very rough. Making sure your tires are properly inflated and in working condition is just as important as changing your engine oil. The following are a few tips to consider when choosing the right tires for your particular vehicle.
Signs You Need New Tires
The penny test is a good way to tell you are in need of a new set of tires. Start by placing a penny in the tread of your tire and if you can see Lincoln's head sticking out above the tread, it is time to replace your tires. Other obvious signs are repeated flat tires or noticing pieces of tread coming off of the tire. Newer tires have wear bars that show up as a colored line if your tire is in need of replacement. There are some tires that make a horrible racket when it is time to replace them.
Performance Tires
If you drive a high performance car, then you will need a high performance tire to ensure the care runs as the manufacturer intended. The best thing to do when tire shopping is matching the type of tire to the needs of your particular car. Buying a Bridgestone Tire in Paramus, NJ will probably be suitable for a hot rod or performance vehicle since most Bridgestone tires are made for performance. A lower grade tire will probably be more suitable for smaller SUVs and compact car applications.
Tire Size
The first thing you need to figure out when buying tires is the size of your particular tires. The size of your tire is usually printed right on the sidewall, but can be confusing to read for beginners. The size is generally written in a series of letter, numbers and slashes. Many tire shops will have a database of tire sizes for certain models, but the best way to determine the size is by looking at your old tires.
Be sure to pick a reputable and knowledgeable tire professional to help you with your needs. Hudson Tire Exchange Inc., is more than capable to assist you in replacing or repairing your tires. If you continue to drive on worn out tires, you will eventually experience a blowout, which is very dangerous, especially at high speeds.

I guess a man can classify himself as a real fisherman when he has sons of his own, and he begins to teach them, and watch them, and glory with them as they work at becoming fishermen. And, then, he can smile, and even laugh as he watches the man who taught him, his father, move in and teach and fish with those sons, his grandsons.
I remember we were having a big family gathering on Mill Meadow Creek. I, with my family, arrived early, and while my wife and I, and our daughters started to pitch camp, my older sons immediately started fishing. Along towards evening, Dad and mother pulled in. As they stepped out of their car, Sam, then about eight years old, now the editor the Utah Fishing & Outdoors magazine, walked up to his grandfather, and said, "Grandpa, I can't fish anymore, because I have caught my limit."
And his granddad said, "Oh, don't worry about that, you can help me catch my limit."
All of the family, but Sam, pitched in and helped my parents unload and make camp. Sam disappeared. Just as it was getting dark, he came into camp, walked up to his granddad, and said, "Now neither one of us can fish; I just caught your limit." His grandfather was a little bit chagrined, but what could he say.
My sons and I enjoyed fishing with that old fishing partner, my father. And then there was the last trip. We were at Black Canyon, my all time favorite fishing stream. Dad was out on the creek alone. I became worried about him, and asked my mother which direction he had gone, up or down. She said that he had gone down stream, so I went looking for him.
I found him fishing in a beautiful hole about 15 feet wide and forty feet long. It was deep, and there were some wild currants and wild roses hanging over the far bank, covering part of the hole. I told dad, "I'll bet there is a big one under that brush."
And he said, "Yea, I've been trying to get him interested, but can't; why don't you try it?" I said, "I can't; my pole is back at camp."
He insisted that I take his. So, I walked up to the top of the hole, made a cast across the stream, and let the current carry the bait down the hole and under the brush. Suddenly we watched the line take off, racing against the current. The line went to the top of the hole, turned, and raced to the bottom of the hole. We both knew that a large trout was the power behind the racing line. I applied a little pressure as the fish plowed into the rapids at the bottom of the hole, and he turned, flying under the water, and then he became airborne, leaping completely out of the stream, a very large, fat, rainbow. He seemed to hang in the air for a long time, then he flipped his mighty head, the hook came out of his mouth, and he dived back into the water and disappeared.
Dad said, "D D Di-id you see that?"
I said, "Yes, I saw that. I am sorry that I lost your fish. It must have been at least 6 to 8 pounds." That was the last time we fished with my old fishing partner. He had a fatal heart attack some time after that trip. I have wished many times over the years that he had kept his pole, and that he had been able to tie into that big rainbow and feel its fighting strength as it plowed up and down that Black Canyon hole.
And as I look back over the years and remember the times that I was "too busy to go fishing," I shed an inward tear. Life is short. Fishing trips are far too short, and the man with the horribly sharp scythe patiently waits--putting an end to fishing trips and fishing partnerships.

Summary of Federal Laws
Miscellaneous Laws Affecting Students
Compliance Partners
|Associate Dean - Student Conduct & Ethical Development
|Director of Housing Services
|DPS Administrative Assistant
|Crime Prevention Officer
|Dean of Students
|Director of Public Safety
Campus Security Act of 1990, as amended by the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008
34 C.F.R. § 668.46 and § 668.41 (latter link is to reporting and disclosure of information)
The Campus Security Act requires colleges to report campus crime statistics and security measures to all students and employees by October 1 of each year. Applicants must receive either a report or a notice of its availability and a brief summary of the report. Timely warnings must go out whenever a threat to students and employees is present for the crimes (listed below) which are reported to local police or campus security authorities. Procedures must be in place on how to issue these notices. Crime statistics must also be given to the U.S. Secretary of Education. Enforcement procedures and policies, as well as crime prevention and education programs must be described in the annual report. The 1992 Higher Education Amendments require a campus sexual assault prevention program.
July 22, 2015 DCL: Implementation of the VAWA Final Regulations
This Dear Colleague Letter summarizes the major changes to the Clery regulations and to the Campus Safety and Security Annual Report (including the "survey" filed with the Department of Education).
Final Regulations, Violence Against Women Act, 79 Fed. Reg. 62752, October 20, 2014.
The regulations are effective July 1, 2015, with good faith effort required upon publication. A number of changes are included, many of which just clarify (hopefully) terms that were added per the change to the U.S. code when VAWA was adopted. Included are the following:
- Maintain statistics on dating and domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking;
- Train all those involved in conducting disciplinary proceedings;
- Train student and employees on preventing sexual assault; definitions such as consent, and campus policies on sexual misconduct;
- Define the terms "awareness programs," "bystander intervention," "ongoing prevention and awareness campaigns," "primary prevention programs," and "risk reduction;
- Record incidents of stalking based on the location where either the perpetrator engaged in the stalking or the victim first became aware of the stalking;
- Require institutions to describe each type of disciplinary proceeding used by the institution; the steps, anticipated timelines; decision-making process for each type of disciplinary proceeding; how to file a disciplinary complaint; and, how the institution determines which type of proceeding to use based on the circumstances of an allegation of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking;
- Require institutions to list all of the possible sanctions that the institution may impose following the results of any institutional disciplinary proceedings for an allegation of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking;
- Require institutions to describe the range of protective measures that the institution may offer following an allegation of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking;
- Add gender identity and national origin as new categories of bias for a determination of a hate crime;
- Describe each type of disciplinary proceeding used in cases of alleged sexual misconduct;
- Provide the accuser and the accused the same opportunities to have an advisor of their choice present during the disciplinary proceeding;
- Specify compliance with VAWA does not violate FERPA;
- Include in their annual security report a statement of policy regarding their programs to prevent sexual misconduct and stalking, as well as the procedures that the institution will follow when such a crime is reported; and
- Collect and disclose crime stats about crimes that were investigated but ended up being unfounded.
For a summary of these new rules, see the Chronicle Article titled In Rules on Campus Sexual Violence, Education Department Emphasizes Training, Max Lewontin.
Dear Colleague Letter, GEN-14-13, July 14, 2014 Implementation of Changes to the Clery Act made by VAWA
Contains a statement schools should make a good faith effort to comply and has this statement:
Until the Department has published the final regulations, institutions should use the statute as the basis for revising or developing policies, procedures, and programs in advance of the ASR that must be issued by October 1, 2014.
Presumably the statute will still be of use post issuance, and hopefully the regulations won't differ from the statute. Clarifies the reporting obligation as follows:
While institutions must include calendar year 2013 statistics for domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking in their ASRs to be issued to students, employees, and prospective students and employees later this year, they will not report these new crimes to the Department in the Web-based data collection this year. Instead, institutions will report the statistics for both calendar years 2013 and 2014 to the Department during the data collection period in Fall 2015.
Violence Against Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act of 2004 (VAWA) (SB 47) Codified at 42 USC 14045b. Signed by President on March 7, 2013.
Section 303 of the VAWA provides grant money of $12,000,000 (not more than $300,000 per IHE or $1M for consortia, on a competitive basis for a period of three years) for each of fiscal years 2014-2018 for use by institutions or consortia consisting of campus personnel, student organizations, campus administrators, security personnel, and regional crisis centers affiliated with the institution to develop and strengthen prevention education and awareness programs as well as security and investigation strategies to combat domestic violence, dating violence, sexual violence and stalking, and strengthen victim services in cases involving such crimes against women on campuses, which may include partnerships with local criminal justice authorities and community-based victim services agencies.
Section 304 of the VAWA makes changes to the Clery Act. It is effective one year after the date of the enactment of the bill. The legislation contains new definitions for dating violence, domestic violence and stalking for purposes of the law. Hate Crimes are redefined for reporting purposes
• Reportable hate crimes now include domestic violence, dating violence and stalking.
• Categories of prejudice under hate crimes now include national origin and gender identity.

Timely warnings must withhold name of victim. The Government is to provide guidance/ best practices on how to implement this new law.
Immigration Issues and VAWA
Under VAWA, IHEs should be mindful of immigration status/visa issues when providing guidance to victims of VAWA crimes. There are two visa statuses, U and T, which might be helpful to nonimmigrant victims of certain crimes. SUNY has put together an amazing and customizable resource (available in multiple languages) for students and employees. Credit for this wonderful resource goes to the following: Joe Storch and Andrea Staff of SUNY Office of General Counsel,Robin Catmur, Director of Immigration Services at the University of Georgia, Brendan Venter, Law Clerk at the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of N.Y., David Fosnocht, Director of Immigration Practice Resources at NAFSA: Association of International Educators, and Michael Pfahl, Associate Counsel at Kent State University. Technical development of the resource was provided by SUNY's Office of General Counsel interns Shannon Crane and Hyun Soo Albert Jong, web designers Taras Kufel and Jeffrey Rosen and Melinda Grier of NACUA who helped pull the team together. See the step by step instructions for customing the web page for your University.
Changes made by the HEOA in 2008
Institutions are required to disclose emergency response policies and evacuation procedures. The first annual security report in which a statement of policy would need to be included would be the report due for distribution by October 1, 2010. The policy should include a description of how text messaging or any other electronic system will be used. The school would be required to document each test of the emergency response system, including data on exercise, time date and announced or unannounced. The emergency response policy must include procedures to implement the following:
Immediate notice to the campus community upon confirmation of a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or staff occurring on the campus, unless issuing a notification will compromise efforts to contain the emergency;
- Annual publication of emergency response and evacuation procedures to students and staff;
- Annual test of emergency response and evacuation procedures. (20 USC 1092 (f)(1)(J));
- Determine the appropriate campus community segment or segments to notify;
- Determine the content of the notification; and
- Initiate the notification system.
Two additional changes made by HEOA are the following:
Institutions must report whether they have agreements (i.e. written memoranda of understanding) with state or local police agencies for the investigation of alleged criminal offenses. (20 USC 1092 (f)(1)(C)(ii))
The list of hate crimes that must be reported has been modified to include the following crimes: larceny-theft, simple assault; intimidation, and property destruction, theft or vandalism. (20 USC 1092 (f)(1)(F)(ii))
What Kinds of Reports Need To Be Made Public?
1. Annual Security Report
The report or summary must be given to all enrolled students and current employees by October 1 of each school year. Distribution of the annual security report to enrolled students and current employees may be accomplished by
direct mailing (U.S. Post Office, campus mail, or e-mail);
direct provision of report to all students (hand out); or
posting on a Web site, and giving notice to all students on where to find it.
The notice must be by U.S. Postal Service, campus mail, or e-mail, and the notice must give the Web address and advise that a paper copy is available on request. Notice on the Web page or a campus kiosk of the availability of the report would not suffice.
Prospective students and employees also need to receive notice of the availability of the report.
According to the final regulations, the following items must be included in the annual security report:
the crime statistics (described below);
a statement of current campus policies regarding procedures for students and others to report criminal actions or other emergencies occurring on campus, including
policies for making timely warning reports to members of the campus community and for preparing the annual disclosure of crime statistics,
a list of the titles of each person or organization to whom students and employees should report the criminal offenses (described below), and
whether the institution has any policies or procedures (and a description of same) that allow disclosure by victims or witnesses of crimes on a voluntary, confidential basis for inclusion in the annual disclosure of crime statistics;
a statement of current policies concerning security of an access to campus facilities, including campus residences, and security considerations used in the maintenance of campus facilities;
a statement of current policies concerning campus law enforcement that
addresses the enforcement authority of security personnel, including their relationship with State and local police agencies and whether those security personnel have the authority to arrest individuals,
encourages accurate and prompt reporting of all crimes, and
describes procedures, if any, that encourage professional or pastoral counselors to inform persons being counseled of voluntary disclosure procedures referenced above;
a description of the type and frequency of programs designed to inform students and employees about campus security procedures and practices and to encourage students and employees to be responsible for their own security and the security of others;
a description of programs designed to inform students and employees about the prevention of crimes;
a statement of the institution's policy concerning monitoring of student criminal activity at off-campus locations of officially recognized student organizations;
a statement of policy regarding the possession, use, and sale of alcoholic beverages and enforcement of State underage drinking laws;
a statement of policy regarding the possession, use, and sale of illegal drugs and enforcement of federal and state drug laws;
a description of any drug or alcohol-abuse education programs, as required under Section 120(a) - (d) of the Higher Education Act;
a statement of policy regarding the institution's campus sexual assault programs to prevent sex offenses, and procedures to follow when a sex offense occurs. (Details of this requirement can be found at 34 C.F.R. § 668.46(b)(11) and here)
Record-keeping Requirements: Institutions must retain the records on crime statistics for three years following the last year the information was included in the annual report.
Note the VAWA changes, which are for college and university purposes, referred to as the Campus SaVE Act.
2. Notice of Availability of Report
Prospective students and prospective employees must receive notice of the availability of the report.
3. Campus Crime Alerts
A timely warning to the campus community must go out regarding any of the below listed crimes which are deemed to represent a threat to the students and employees, and which are reported to campus security authorities or to local police agencies. The campus crime alert must be issued in a manner that is timely and will aid in the prevention of similar crimes. Campus security may decide to issue an alert about a crime occurring off-campus but in a location frequented by students, even though such a crime would not be included in the annual report.
4. Campus Crime Log
Institutional law enforcement units must keep a daily log that records crimes by their nature, date, time, general location, and disposition of the complaint. The log must be made available to the public within two business days of a request unless disclosure of such information would:
be prohibited by law;
jeopardize the confidentiality of the victim;
jeopardize an ongoing criminal investigation;
jeopardize the safety of an individual;
cause a suspect to flee or evade detection;
result in the destruction of evidence.
5. Filing of Report with Secretary of Education
The institution must submit the statistics over the Internet to the Secretary of Education, on an annual basis, and on the date specified by the Secretary. In recent years the reporting deadline has been October 15th.
The Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE) Campus Security Statistics Website, provides a searchable database of statistics reported by colleges and universities. You can only enter the data into one box, or the search won't yield a result. (This is on the new web page, fall 2016)
What Crimes and Campus Offenses Must Be Reported?
Statistics on the following crimes and offenses are to be reported in the annual security report, which is also to be made available to all students:
Criminal Homicide: Murder, non-negligent, and negligent manslaughter. Non-negligent manslaughter is the killing of a person through gross negligence.
Sex Offenses1. Rape is the penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus, with any body part or
object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person without the consent of the victim. This
offense includes the rape of both males and females.
2. Fondling is the touching of the private body parts of another person for the purpose of sexual
gratification, without the consent of the victim, including instances where the victim is incapable of
giving consent because of his/her age or because of his/her temporary or permanent mental
3. Statutory Rape is sexual intercourse with a person who is under the statutory age of consent.
4. Incest is sexual intercourse between persons who are related to each other within the degrees
wherein marriage is prohibited by law.
Domestic Violence: The term ''domestic violence'' includes felony or misdemeanor crimes of violence committed by a current or former spouse of the victim, by a person with whom the victim shares a child in common, by a person who is cohabitating with or has cohabitated with the victim as a spouse, by a person similarly situated to a spouse of the victim under the domestic or family violence laws of D.C. (includes past or present marriage, domestic partnership, romantic, dating or sexual relationship) , or by any other person against an adult or youth victim who is protected from that person's acts under the domestic or family violence laws of D.C.
Dating Violence: The term ''dating violence'' means violence committed by a person:
(A) who is or has been in a social relationship of a romantic or intimate nature with the victim; and
(B) where the existence of such a relationship shall be determined based on a consideration of the following factors:
(i) The length of the relationship
(ii) The type of relationship
(iii) The frequency of interaction between the persons involved in the relationship.
Stalking: Purposefully engaging in a course of conduct directed at a specific individual that would cause a reasonable individual to fear for his or her safety or the safety of another person; feel seriously alarmed, disturbed or frightened; or suffer emotional distress.
Robbery: The taking, or attempting to take anything of value from the control, custody, or care of a person or persons by force or threat of force or violence and/or by putting the victim in fear.
Aggravated Assault: An unlawful attack by one person upon another for the purpose of inflicting severe or aggravated bodily injury. This offense is usually accompanied by the use of a weapon or by means likely to produce death or great bodily harm.
Burglary: The unlawful entry (breaking and entering) into a building or other structure with the intent to commit a felony or theft.
Arson: Willful or malicious burning or an attempt to burn a dwelling house, public building, motor vehicle or aircraft, or personal property.
Motor Vehicle Theft: The theft or attempted theft of a motor vehicle.
On-campus Arrests for Alcohol, Drug and Illegal Weapon Violations
The number of students referred for Campus Disciplinary Actions1 for alcohol, drug or illegal weapon violations. (If included in the report as an arrest, a referral does not need to be reported under this category.)
Hate Crimes falling into the above list, involving bodily injury, or reported to the campus security office or local police. Hate crimes are to be reported by category of prejudice: race, gender, religion, sexual orientation,national origin and gender identity, ethnicity or disability. The list of hate crimes that must be reported include the following crimes: larceny-theft, simple assault; intimidation, and property destruction, damage or vandalism.
When Must the Crime Be Reported?
Crimes must be included in the annual security report for the calendar year in which the crime was reported to the campus security authority. This may not always match the date of occurrence of the crime. See 34 C.F.R. § 668.46(c)(2).
Does It Matter Where the Crime Occurred -- On or Off Campus?
The institution must provide a geographic breakdown of the crime statistics by four categories:
on campus;
on campus and in a dormitory or other residential facility for students on campus;
in or on a non-campus building or property;
on public property.
Public property is defined in the regulations to include thoroughfares, streets, sidewalks, or parking facilities that are within the campus, or immediately adjacent to and accessible from the campus. A map may be used in complying with the statistical reporting requirements.
Public property consists of a public sidewalk that borders the campus, the public street along the sidewalk and the public sidewalk on the other side of the street (i.e., sidewalk, street, sidewalk). Again, only the portions of the sidewalk, street and sidewalk that are adjacent to the campus are included in public property.
Non-Campus Building or Property is defined in the regulations (34 CFR 668.46) as
(1) Any building or property owned or controlled by a student organization that is officially recognized by the institution; or (2) Any building or property owned or controlled by an institution that is used in direct support of, or in relation to, the institution's educational purposes, is frequently used by students, and is not within the same reasonably contiguous geographic area of the institution.
Who on Campus Is Responsible for Reporting Crimes and Campus Offenses?
Persons who receive referrals for discipline involving alcohol, drug or weapon violations which are also a violation of the law, and for which a sanction may be imposed, must report those cases to the campus security office.
Anyone who is a "campus security authority" who receives a report of or is aware of a crime must report it to the campus security office.
Campus security authorities are defined at CUA as an official of an institution who has significant responsibility for student and campus activities, as well as employees who control or monitor access to some part of campus. "Campus security authority" at The Catholic University of America includes individuals who provide security on campus, in addition to the Public Safety staff, as well as the following persons:
• Library monitors, hall security assistants in the residence halls, and others who are hired to monitor
dorm or building access, campus escorts
• Officials with significant responsibility for student and campus activities
• Director and associate director of athletics and all coaches and athletic trainers
• All professional staff in the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students
• All associate and assistant deans and other professional staff in dean's offices, such as associate deans
for student support or director of disability support services
• Title IX Coordinators
• All professional staff working with student organizations and extracurricular/campus activities
• All faculty or staff advisors to undergraduate or graduate organizations or teams, including debate teams
• All faculty who accompany students on University-related trips, both within the U.S. and abroad
• All resident advisors or community directors for campus housing
• All professional staff in the Office of Global Education
• First-Year Experience director.
Regardless of one's status as a campus security authority, all are encouraged to report crimes to the
dispatcher, Department of Public Safety. Coaches, the Director of Residence Life, Club Advisors, and
Student Resident Advisors. Pastoral or professional counselors are not considered campus security
authorities when acting in their capacity as counselor.
- Examples of individuals who would not meet the criteria for Campus Security Authorities:
• A faculty member who does not have any responsibility for student and campus activity beyond the classroom.
• Cafeteria staff.
Crime Statistics that Do Not Require Reporting
Under the final regulations, the institution does not need to report crimes reported to a pastoral or professional counselor while acting in that capacity.. A pastoral counselor is a person who is associated with a religious order or denomination that recognizes him/her as someone who provides confidential counseling, and is functioning within the scope of that recognition as a pastoral counselor. A professional counselor is a person whose official responsibilities include providing mental health counseling to members of the institution's community and is functioning within the scope of his/her license or certification. Under the regulations, priests or clerics at a university, and counselors in a counseling center (including supervised students), would not need to report criminal offenses to the campus security office about which they are informed while working in their pastoral or counseling capacity.
Note that this exemption from the reporting requirements under the Campus Security Act does not relieve counselors of the duty to exercise reasonable care to protect a foreseeable victim from danger posed by the person being counseled.3 If someone indicates to their counselor an intent to commit a violent crime against another, and the counselor determines that the patient poses a serious danger of violence, then steps must be taken by the counselor to protect the intended victim.

D.O.E. Special Focus on Campus Security
Havlik v. Johnson & Wales, (1st Cir. 2007). The Campus Security Act requires that universities notify students and faculty when certain crimes take place on campus. A student who was alleged to have brandished a knife in connection with an assault was identified by name in the campus crime report, and he sued for defamation. The First Circuit upheld the District Court's finding that under the Campus Security Act school officials who issue crime alerts must have only a "reasonable belief" that there is a duty to report (even if later shown to be incorrect) in order for the qualified privilege against defamation to attach.
1 Defined as the referral of any student to any campus official who initiates a disciplinary action of which a record is kept and which may result in the imposition of a sanction. The commentary on the final regulations clarifies that the requirement to report statistics for referrals for campus disciplinary actions for alcohol, drug and weapon violations refers to violations of laws only. The referral of a student of legal drinking age on a dry campus for campus disciplinary action would not be included as a statistic under the regulations.
3 See Tarasoff v. Regents of University of California, 551 P. 2d 334 (1976). See also Tarasoff at Twenty-Five. J Am Acad Psychiatry law 30:275-81, 2002.
"The public policy favoring protection of the confidential character of patient-psychotherapist communications must yield to the extent to which disclosure is essential to avert danger to others. The protective privilege ends where the public peril begins.)
Q and A
Q: You inquired as to whether or not paying local law enforcement to provide statistics in order to comply with the Clery Act would be a violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (hereinafter "FCPA").
A: In short, making such a payment does not appear to trigger a violation of the FCPA. Please find my analysis below:
The FCPA prohibits the University from corruptly paying, offering to pay, promising to pay, or authorizing the payment of money or anything of value to a foreign official in order to violate the law, obtain or retain business, or secure an improper business advantage. Payments are made "corruptly" if they are accompanied by the intent to wrongfully influence the foreign official into misusing their official position. Therefore, based on the information you've provided, paying local law enforcement to simply obtain statistics necessary to ensure the University's compliance with the Clery Act does not appear to be a violation of the FCPA because it is not accompanied by the necessary corrupt intent.
In addition, under the FCPA, there is a narrow exception for "facilitating payments," often referred to as "grease payments," that are made in furtherance of routine governmental actions that are non-discretionary. Routine governmental actions include those acts which are ordinarily and commonly performed by a foreign official in obtaining permits, licenses, visas, providing police protection, mail pick-up and delivery, scheduling inspections, and actions of a similar nature. While none of the listed examples are directly on point with your specific inquiry, the Department of Justice and Security Exchange Commission's guidance on the FCPA states that the exception focuses primarily on the purpose of the payment. While legitimate facilitating payments are not illegal under the FCPA, they may still violate local law in the countries where the University is operating. Therefore, ensuring no local law prohibits the payment is an important additional inquiry.

Review: The Writer, at Almeida Theatre
Timely play that tackles commercial and sexual exploitation features writer who wants to 'dismantle capitalism and overturn patriarchy'
26 April, 2018 — By Howard Loxton
Romola Garai and Lara Rossi in The Writer at the Almeida. Photo: Manuel Harlan
ELLA Hickson's new play was completed before the Harvey Weinstein story broke but it couldn't be more apposite or more angry.
It starts with a young woman (Lara Rossi) returning to an empty theatre for a forgotten bag, making a blistering attack on the play she's seen, on contemporary commercialised theatre and on the director (Samuel West), a man whose previous help she rejected because it was followed by a sex invitation.
She's a writer who wants to "dismantle capitalism and overturn patriarchy" and that firmly feminist attitude drives this play.
Next it's a Q & A session with the actors we have just seen, a director (Michael Gould) and the writer (Romola Garai, who had her own Weinstein encounter), critiquing that scene.
What follows is a sequence of episodes that could unfold that writer's story or be seen as individual illustrations of the play's themes. An easy-going man, overjoyed that Hollywood wants to film his partner's play, while she won't sign the contract fearing their changes would be like "letting strangers do plastic surgery on your unborn child". From the wings the director introduces a real baby to stir up things.
In a poetic sequence, part played in darkness, the writer finds joy skinny-dipping in a lake with another woman and is then seen in a lesbian relationship with conflicts that echo the hetero conflicts (with explicit sex scenes in both segments).
Director Blanche McIntyre and designer Anna Fleischle emphasise the play's metatheatricality and there are some stunning videos by Zakk Hein that add even more stimulus to a two-hour, single act show that presents commercial and sexual exploitation in parallel.

New Delhi, May 7 : Launching a frontal attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday said the Centre was "scared" of taking action against Congress president Sonia Gandhi in the AgustaWestland chopper scam.
Addressing an Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) protest at Jantar Mantar over the AgustaWestland scam, Kejriwal said: "Why is the central government not arresting Sonia Gandhi when she is involved in the AgustaWestland scam – because Modi does not have the courage to arrest her."
Scores of AAP leaders along with their supporters protested at Jantar Mantar over the VVIP chopper bribery scam.
Kejriwal said though the scam came to light two years ago the Modi government did not do any investigations.
"What has the central government done in the last two years? Modi ji promised to fight against corruption but he has betrayed the nation by not taking any action against the AgustaWestland scam accused," Kejriwal, the AAP National Convenor, said.
He also lambasted the central government for not taking any action against Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra who faces several corruption charges.
"During his election campaign in 2014, Modi would often talk about Vadra at his rallies. But what action has he taken against Vadra in the last two years? He can send CBI to raid my office but not to Vadra's office," Kejriwal said, addressing supporters.
Kejriwal on Friday had taken potshots at the central government for not taking any action against the accused in the AgustaWestland scam.
The bribery charges in the chopper deal has rocked parliament with the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party at the Centre and the opposition Congress trading charges.

OSLO, Aug 28 (Reuters) - Norway's Equinor is considering whether to build an offshore wind farm with floating turbines to provide electricity for its Gullfaks and Snorre oilfields in the North Sea, the company said on Tuesday.
The world's first project of its kind, estimated to cost around 5 billion Norwegian crowns ($591.54 million), would reduce the reliance on gas turbines and could cut emissions of carbon dioxide by more than 200,000 tonnes per year, it added.
"In order to maintain profitable operations (offshore Norway) in the long term, it is essential that we do our utmost to further reduce the carbon footprint from our activities," executive vice president Arne Sigve Nylund said in a statement.
A final investment decision will be made in 2019, Equinor said.

Cattle Outlook: USDA Proposes Opening Beef Market to Brazilian Imports
USDA has proposed opening U.S. markets to beef from certain states in Brazil that are free of foot and mouth disease. FMD is controlled in Brazil through vaccination. The proposed change will make many in the U.S. beef industry nervous. Brazil is the world's largest beef exporter and has the potential to become a big supplier to the U.S. Being FMD free is a huge asset the U.S. has in world meat trade. Anything that might possible jeopardize our FMD status is worthy of opposition.
Fed cattle prices set new records this week. Through Thursday, the 5-area average price for slaughter steers sold on a live weight basis was $137.46/cwt, up $6.46 from a week ago and up $11.15 from a year ago. Steer sales on a dressed basis averaged a record $217.06/cwt this week.
This morning, the boxed beef cutout value for choice carcasses was $202.27/cwt, up $5.19 from the previous Friday and up $7.45 from a year ago. The select carcass cutout is $197.37/cwt, up $6.37 for the week and up $15.22 from the same day last year.
Packer margins are very tight. Either beef cutout has to keep climbing or fed cattle prices soften.
This week's cattle slaughter totaled 521,000 head, up 21.4% from last week and up 0.4% from the corresponding week last year.
The average steer dressed weight for the week ending on December 21 was 871 pounds, down 1 pound from the week before and down 2 pounds from a year earlier. For the year, steer carcass weights averaged more than 4 pounds above the 2012 level.
There was no feeder cattle sale at Oklahoma City this week. Feeder cattle prices at this week's Joplin Stockyards auction were $3 to $10 higher than before Christmas. Prices for medium and large frame #1 steers by weight were: 400-450# $212.50-$227.50, 450-500# $200-$213, 500-550# $187-$205, 550-600# $178-$194.60, 600-700# $168-$184, 700-800# $161-$173.75, 800-900# $158.10-$165.50, and 900-1000# $149-$158/cwt.
The February live cattle futures contract closed at $136.30/cwt today, up $1.35 from last week's close. April fed cattle settled at $136.57, up 95 cents for the week. June settled at $130.05/cwt, up 50 cents.
The January feeder cattle futures contract ended the week at $167.62/cwt, up 62 cents for the week. March feeders closed at $168.10/cwt, which was 30 cents higher than the previous Friday.

Patrik, I would suggest that the members of the VPIM WG have interest in this and may be interested in this process (I can say that I am). I think the point of this is to define a minimum set of codecs for multimedia messaging for 3G. We have been doing the same for unified messaging in VPIM & IVM (though we have just been talking about voice and fax). It is interesting to note that with IVM we originally had support for numerous codecs suggested as the baseline, but after discussion we reduced it to one. I am intrigued that they list the WAV header format as baseline but do not identify any of its 300+ codecs. I am not surprised they want to use their AMR/EFR codec -- but I'd like to know how different it is from GSM 6.10 (of which a variant is the current proposed baseline for IVM). I believe AMR/EFR for 3G is the same as GSM 6.90. And, of course, this is different from the North American wireless codecs :-( I am curious why they don't list G.711 mu-law as one of the audio codecs. It would seem that if we are getting into transcoding, that one would want to list the lowest common denominator.

roebuck (noun): a male roe deer -- which I also had to look up (sheesh) and found out that a roe deer is a small, agile, Old World deer (I think Old World as in old Europe?)
But then that spurred me to look up sear (noun): a pivoted piece that holds the hammer at full or half cock in the firing mechanism of small arms. OR (verb) to burn or char the surface of.
Why did I look these up?
Because of Sears and Roebuck. Of course now it's just Sears and it probably doesn't have ANYTHING to do with the above definitions but now I will always think of guns and deer when I go to buy clothes. Or appliances.

If the animal is micro-chipped but your contact information is no longer valid, we may not know how to contact you. We recommend you physically come to the shelter during business hours to look for your lost pet or visit our website daily to look at the animal photos.
In Person: Come to the Beaver County Humane Society during business hours and we'll help you complete a lost report. Be prepared to give a detailed description of your lost pet. Bring a photo of your pet with you.
By Phone: Call the Lost & Found desk at 724-775-5801 X 105, and we will assist you in completing a lost report.
The first 24 - 48 hours are the most critical!
Lost Pet Tips
Below are some tips for helping you locate your lost pet.
- If your pet is wearing ID with your phone number on it, make sure you are available to answer your phone.
- Search the neighborhood surrounding your home as your pet may not have traveled far. Ask your neighbors, postal carriers, and delivery drivers if they have seen an animal matching your pet's description.
- Visit the Beaver County Humane Society as soon as possible. Our Animal Control Officers pick up many lost pets every day and they may have already picked up yours.
- If your pet is micro-chipped, register the microchip number with the Beaver County Humane Society. We will enter this information into our database which allows Beaver County Humane Society staff to contact you faster if your pet is found.
- If your pet is registered and/or licensed, call us to confirm that your information is current and inform us of any additional contact phone numbers.
- Post a photo and description of your lost pet on Facebook and Twitter. Ask your friends/followers to share the information.
- Create a flyer containing a recent photo of your pet and information regarding how you can be contacted if someone finds your animal.
- Advertise in the lost pet section of your local newspapers and check the "found pets" column.
- There are many sites on the internet you can search. Just type in "Lost Pets" or "Missing Pets" on your favorite search engine. Many people do advertise lost and found pets on Craigslist.com.
- Don't limit your search to just our shelter. Sporting dogs can run for miles if they get the chance. Some pets will be picked up by well-meaning passers-by and actually end up farther from home. Here are some neighboring shelters for metro residents:
- Western Pennsylvania Humane Society
- Animal Friends
- Animal Rescue League
- Butler County Humane Society
Retrieving a Lost Animal
Steps for Retrieving an Animal at BCHS
You must physically come to the shelter to claim your animal.
Lost & Found Hours
Tuesdays and Thursdays: 11 a.m. - 7 p.m.
Wednesdays, Friday, and Saturdays: 11 am – 4pm
- A picture ID such as a driver's license is required to redeem your pet.
- Additional proof of ownership, such as the pet's picture, microchip verification, and/or vaccination records, may be required
There are fees associated with redeeming your pet. Boarding is charged at the rate of $20.00 per the beginning of each 24 hour increment. The hour of arrival will determine the charging rate. Vaccines will also be given upon intake for the health of the animal. Minimum $10.00 vaccination fee will be charged depending on vaccine given.

Our Miss Brooks was a long running and popular CBS Old Time Radio show. It began airing in 1948 and lasted until 1957. In fact it was so widely received that it spawned a TV adaptation from 1952 until 1956. Furthermore it even was made into a feature length movie!
[Via] Warner Movies on Demand
Of course since this is the beginning of December. Our episode this week is entitled "Magic Christmas Tree". Which focuses on Miss Brooks, who is played by Eve Arden, finding herself alone on Christmas Eve. Thanks in no small part to an enterprising young boy, she finds that she had purchased more than a festive tree. It is as the boy tells her, in fact a magic Christmas tree. Which naturally means that hilarity ensues shortly after the purchase and maybe a little wish fulfillment too.
Now this isn't the first time we've visited Our Miss Brooks!
Thanks to listener Rick Doherty we talked about this show on the 57th episode of the podcast. Truth be told he has also suggested an appropriately holiday themed episode later in the month.
So without further ado, pour yourself a cup of eggnog, and join us for Retro Radio Memories. As we get into the Holiday Spirit with Our Miss Brooks!
If you have any comments or feedback for the show you can e-mail them to at email@example.com. You can also reach me on Twitter and of course on Facebook .
The music on the podcast was provided by Peachy! You may contact him by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. And be sure to "Like" him on his Facebook Page.

Sorry for the delay in song of the week, maybe I should make it song of the month instead.
Anyway the song for today is drumroll please….
Jimmy Recard by Drapht.
Drapht, born Paul Ridge, is an Australian hip hop artist from Perth, Western Australia. Drapht is a member of the Syllaboliks crew, which comprises fellow Australian hip hop artists from Perth and is currently signed to the Obese Records record label.
He has been around for awhile, but like most Aussie hip hop, is underrated. Jimmy Recard is a song about how Drapht's life might be different if his mother hadn't named him Paul when he was born, if he had been given a rock star name like Jimmy Recard.
Enjoy! Let me know what you think?

{ dallas photographer } for ashley + orionCategory: couples
Author: Unknown
Ashley and Orion have already proven they can roll with the punches. They can stay calm and collected when things don't go as planned. You see, they had a spot picked out for their session. It was their spot, they never see anyone there. Yet on this Saturday evening when we went to do their engagement session, we pulled up to their spot, and whadda ya know... There's a wedding about to take place. So we had quickly come up with another spot. Which is pretty easy in downtown Dallas. Orion did a great job of putting up with me consistently mispronouncing his name throughout the entire session. Sorry about that! I promise I'll have it right for the wedding! I cannot wait for Ashely and Orion's wedding! Here are a few of my fav's...

Of all the programming books you've never read that I've read more than once, The Limits of Software by Robert Britcher is my favorite. I say you've never read it with some confidence because a) few programmers read books and b) this book was doomed to a narrow audience by its very nature.
The first audience-limiting feature of the book is its style. As Robert Glass says in the Foreword, "It's part storytelling, part history, part art, part science, part philosophy, part logic--all entwined around the subject of computing and software." At the hub of it all is Britcher's experience with one of the largest engineering projects in history: the computer systems of the FAA. But that is only the hub, and the spokes are long and not straight or predictable. If you just want a straight story on his experience with the FAA Advanced Automation System, you can read Britcher's more ordinary recitation that appeared in the book Software Runaways. But this is more like sitting down to talk to someone who was in World War II--you don't get facts, figures, or dates like a textbook would give you, but you get stories that make you think, that you can find morals in, if you care to look for them.
The second audience-limiting feature of this book is that you kind of have to be an old programmer to appreciate it. For example, Ada is mostly just a name rather than a saga to a great many programmers who never knew a PC-less world. I remember when some distant cousin, being a military contractor, notified my parents that I should be learning Ada because it would soon be required of all programmers. I worried briefly, noticed that nobody else writing C code was worried, then forgot about it. Later, a small consulting company I was in got the job of helping port an Ada compiler to some Unix platforms. We marveled at the test suites it had to pass and wondered no more where our income tax money went. Much later, I briefly plunged into a real, honest-to-God Ada disaster as a sub-sub-sub-contractor on an anti-submarine aircraft software project for the military. The game, as it was explained to me by my elders on the project, was that everyone knew the project would fail, but we had better make damn sure that we were not the first sub-contractor to miss a milestone and get the blame for the true state of things. As I stared at hundreds of lines of paper Ada (there were not enough terminals for me to actually edit anything) and found that not a single identifier could be understood without first looking through reams of definitions and declarations elsewhere, I decided that this was the game Ada was born to play. I think it's hard to grasp lines like "Ada the language was eclipsed by Ada the cottage industry" if you never brushed up against it in your life.
More Than a Feeling
The thing that's unique to me about Britcher's book is that reading it leaves me with a powerful feeling. I get lots of things from programming books, but usually not an emotion. Oh, I did get a giddy feeling when I read Peopleware that the state of programming management was really going to improve. How embarrassing it is now to confess that I actually thought a book could make a dent in management behavior!
It took me a long time to put my finger on exactly what it was that The Limits of Software made me feel. Then I realized: it was melancholy. Melancholy is a hazard of age I conclude, now that my dotage is upon me. When you see email and instant messaging being invented again for the umpteenth time as though it were something new, or watch seven rounds of layoffs each be followed by hire-backs as management could never quite grasp that laying off N people reduces the head count by N+M (where M is the number of people deserting a sinking ship), melancholy is the natural response.
But the melancholy that Britcher instills is grander than I can convey here. The subject, after all, is about limitations, not abilities and accomplishments. If Isaac Newton saw further by standing on the shoulders of giants, Britcher sees further by standing on the piled corpses of our dreams. Dreams of bug-free code. Dreams that formalism and better processes will prevent software disasters. Dreams of "the right way" to develop software. Dreams of a better programming language that will remove our current dissatisfactions. Dreams that reusability will drastically lower development costs. Dreams that technology is the answer to human problems, and all shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

Dubai Day 6
On our last day we drove into the desert. On our way we saw some gazelles running across our road:
What a pity, no camel crossed at the time :(
Then we wanted to drive on the dunes. Dune stalking:
Dune bashing:
There were other people here, too. And some guys were heavily engaged with showing-off:
He was driving back and forth and showed me his tricks on the motorbike:
A last glimpse on our desert resort:
Isn't it a bit like One Thousand and One Nights?
And this is the last pic from Dubai. I hope you enjoyed :)

Dubai day 5
We treated us to a lunch in the insanely expensive Burj al-Arab. Here is a view from one of the restaurants at the top of the burj:
The lobby was still decorated for Valentine's Day:
We also went to an amazing bird-of-prey show (
). An Hungarian falconer and his German wife were presenting -not just- falcons! There were birds of prey from owls to eagles and griffon vultures. Beautiful animals, really caring master, and having such an animal sitting on your hand is an unforgettable experience:
That's me btw with Hetterich, the barn owl:

The world's top three male tennis players Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray and Roger Federer as well as the women's world number two Victoria Azarenka practise at Wimbledon.
LONDON, ENGLAND, UNITED KINGDOM (JUNE 21, 2013) (REUTERS) - Top seeds for the Wimbledon championships dodged showers to continue their preparations at the historic venue on Friday (June 21).
Amongst those taking to the grass courts was last year's men's champion Roger Federer, who faces a tough road to another Wimbledon final after the draw threwRafael Nadal and home favourite Andy Murray into the champion's path and cleared the way for world number one Novak Djokovic.
The third seed could face Spaniard Nadal, seeded only fifth to reflect his current ranking as he works his way back from injury, in what would likely be an epic quarter-final on the grass of South West London.
Federer and Nadal, the big danger in the draw, played three finals in 2006, 2007 and 2008.
If the Swiss seven-times winner gets through the quarter-final, he faces a potential clash with last year's finalist Murray in the semi-finals.
World number one Novak Djokovic would be on course to face seventh seedTomas Berdych in the quarter-finals but will avoid any of his three main rivals until the final.
Djokovic plays Florian Mayer in his opening match and also has fourth seed David Ferrer in his half of the draw.
Nadal, the eight-times French Open winner who suffered a shock second-round defeat in London last year, starts out against Belgian Steve Darcis while Federer's first opponent is Romanian Victor Hanescu.
Another favourite having a hit on Friday was Second seed Murray, who's opener is against world number 95 Benjamin Becker, the 31-year-old German he beat in the quarter-finals on his way to victory in the Aegon Championships at Queen's Clublast week.
If all goes to plan, Murray will face old foe Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the last eight - having beaten the Frenchman in last year's semi-finals and at Queen's this month.
Murray, Federer and Nadal are all scheduled to play on the opening day on Monday.
In the women's draw, top seed and defending champion Serena Williams will begin her quest for a 17th grand slam title against Luxembourg's Mandy Minella while second seed while second seed Victoria Azarenka faces Maria Joao Koehler.
