A salesman told a homeowner that once the alarm and fire detection system he was selling was in place, she should never have to worry about losing her house to a fire. He explained that if a fire ever started, the system was set up to alert her as well as the closest fire station. Convinced, the homeowner signed on the dotted line. But just two months later when a lightning strike caused a fire, the alarm system never contacted the fire department. The house burned to the ground.
The homeowner's insurance company paid the homeowner's fire claim, then sued the alarm company, which in turn defended itself by presenting a copy of the signed sales contract. That document stated in bold letters that no alarm system could guarantee prevention of a loss, and that the company would not be liable to the homeowner, even if damages were caused by the company's own negligence.
While such clauses are generally not favored in the law, there is an exception if the language is a clear and obvious contractual expression of a disclaimer. In this case, the alarm company's provision releasing it of liability for its own mistakes was sufficiently obvious and found to be enforceable.
Salesmen are permitted some leeway as to what they say without incurring liability, but it depends on what is said, when it is said, and whether the statement is actually reduced to writing. The salesman's comments were made in what is legally referred to as pre-contractual negotiations. As such, they fell into the category of promotional and exaggerated statements presenting a subjective view of a product or service—statements on which a consumer should not rely.
The most important thing, of course, is the signed document. Be sure to have the right sales agreement in place, with appropriate disclaimer language. To do less should surely set off some alarms.

It's a story we've been telling you about for weeks -- an Arizona teen with a big dream gets something she never imagined.
The teen's life story was played on screen in a homemade music video to Katy Perry's "Roar."
"The song is more about female empowerment, so we were thinking what girl in the school has gone through the most and overcome all the challenges we thought of Megan," said Clayton Mueller, who created the video.
"She was so excited to be able to do the video. She really had no idea what the video was, where it was going to go," said Megan's mother, Kimberly Squire.
It went right to Katy Perry herself, who witnessed Megan's fight to be just like everyone else.
The video about Megan's tryout for cheer and how Verrado High School embraced her.
A part of a competition to meet Katy. Verrado High School didn't win first place, but still got to spend time with the star at the American Music Awards.
"It was super excited, exciting," said Megan Squire. "I sat a few rows behind Justin Timberlake and Taylor Swift."
"She was chit chatting about Thanksgiving, asking Megan about school and told Megan how inspired she was by her video and what an amazing kid she was,' said Kimberly.
Amazing -- she's overcome the odds and now inspiring others, even the stars.
Megan and her family spent more than an hour with Katy Perry -- one on one, took pictures and Katy signed autographs for them too.

I'm not a 'jealous person,' as one of my many highly accurate relationship theories compounds. I believe jealousy is a seed you must actively ensure is not watered, lest it grow into a tree that will cast a shadow over your coupling, withering everything that was once good in its shade of bad feeling. (I know, I'm a pioneer.)
I suppose it's no unrelated point that in relationship behaviour politics, I'm left-of-centre. I believe extra-curricular flirting within reason is healthy (I'd go so far as to say it nourishes the soul) and I love seeing a boyfriend make another woman laugh at a party. So my apathy is fairly natural but also, as my jealousy-as-a-seed metaphor demonstrates, something I purposefully discourage.
In my last relationship (five and a half years), jealousy didn't play a part - from the outset I made it clear I wouldn't entertain it. Four months in I had fallen in love (it felt like heartburn in the best possible way) when he made a semi-provocative comment about a male friend of mine. I reacted swiftly and strongly to what I perceived to be the potential start and growth of an unhealthy standard.
He wasn't particularly jealous anyway (compared with other men I know), but I didn't give him a chance to work on it. To me, because we were in love and committed, it was a wasted emotion. I also knew I don't 'get jealous,' so wanted to avoid ever having to deal with it coming one-sided at me. Hence my lecture that jealousy is just insecurity on the doubter's part and should be dealt with accordingly, rather than projected onto the other party.
I'm aware I speak with the assurance of someone who has never experienced a heart broken by cheating (this is something I feel both grateful for and at the mercy of, but that's another piece).
However my calculated approach to the jealousy issue is not without doubt, because there's a substantial part of me that feels I'm missing out. As if the absence of this particular emotion is telling. It's not that what I felt before was lacking in some way, more that something different (the best?) is yet to come.
I feel ignorant of the adrenaline that jealousy induces, and I want to know how it feels. It's certainly a condition of my TV and film intake that I associate romantic jealousy with the brilliant side of love. Famous fiery affairs both fictional and real are tantalizingly raw.
Will I ever love as madly as Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, as furiously Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton? Feel anything remotely like any character Penelope Cruz has ever played?
I don't MEAN to confuse jealousy with passion and mind-blowing sex (I've experienced both without jealousy, and logically it doesn't even make sense - I'm sure there are bad lovers up and down the country banging away angrily) but not knowing, and not having had any experience of a jealousy-ridden relationship makes me wonder if it IS all it's cracked up to be. Does it come hand in hand with Great Love?
Have I never experienced a pure, bare, exposed romantic emotion because I've never experienced this? Does jealousy happen only in relationships you're petrified of losing? Or is it just insecurity, full stop?
Shakespeare, an authority on the logic and clarity of love, asked: 'How many fond fools serve mad jealousy?' Maybe I'm a fool to ponder the subject at all. After all, my experience of love so far has been mostly healthy and happy. When I fell in love, it felt like my heart was on fire before the wonderful slow burn began.
If jealousy had played a part in this - if fight >cry > make-up > repeat had become a main feature, could I still say that were true? Or would I be hurt, jaded and ultimately changed (for better or worse)?
It's clear I associate jealousy with can't-live-without-you love. And I suppose I'm disappointed I've never felt at the mercy of my feelings like that. I wonder if I ever will. My fear is that I am at best sensible and at worst, cold-hearted - the same accusation thrown at one of my fictional heroes Sally here, at 2.12:
I really don't believe, like some, that jealousy is 'proof' someone really cares. But contrary to this logic, I still suspect there's a madly jealous, passionate Great Lover in me waiting to be unleashed by someone who triggers that behaviour. And that it will be the rawest, realist relationship I've ever had.
As I write this I suspect change is what I must want, and I'm craving that in the form of drama.
Repeat to self: jealousy isn't fabulous. Or is it?

Is there any way to prevent religious debates from turning into a big fight?
People discuss lots of things, politics, sports, anything
But when they discuss religious opinions, most of the time, they get all angry and try to win even with fight.
why is that? why that can't be a normal subject?
and more important, How can we prevent this?
Closing Statement from Farokh Shahabi Nezhad
Tnx everyone for their replies. I enjoyed learning from different aspect for this problem.
I can only conclude this : Don't argue with someone unless they are open minded and ready to be changed and challenged.

"One of the fundamental conditions of happiness is to know that everything that one does has a meaning in eternity" - Titus Burckhardt
I have a BA in graphic design and my body of work encompasses illustration, comics, tutorials, digital games and children's books, but above all I am now a calligraphy artist based in London. I learned the essence of the ancient Kufi script from master calligrapher Samir Sayegh, in Beirut, through years of close collaboration. With him I learned to breathe new life into a traditional art, not merely copying or reviving its old forms but finding a contemporary language for it. The resulting calligraphic mandalas evoke the magic that comes through when form and meaning are one.

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAU) -- A Wausau woman is facing animal neglect charges after her landlord found two Chihuahuas locked in a small kennel. The dogs named Pepe and Lopez were underweight, and in poor health.
Wausau police say the dogs were in urine soaked bedding, and had feces in their otherwise empty food and water bowls.
19-year-old Nicole M. Miller wasn't supposed to have dogs in the rented duplex. She told police a friend was occasionally coming to help take care of the dogs.
Miller has been charged with two counts of intentionally failing to provide food for an animal, keeping animals in an improper shelter space, and sanitation violations for an animal shelter. She will be back in court July 28th for a pretrial conference. A plea hearing has been scheduled for September 3rd before Judge Greg Grau. She is currently free on a $750 dollar signature bond.
Pepe and Lopez were taken to the Marathon County Humane Society by a neighbor, where they were seen by a veterinarian. Both dogs are now healthy and have new homes.

The Christmas Season always brings back nostalgic memories from my childhood past in Greece. Christmas then was not all about Santa Claus and presents under the tree. It was about celebrating our Christmas traditions with our family.
The Christmas season is upon us. The Plaza lights have been lit, Longview's Christmas in the Park has started, and many other lighting ceremonies are happening. I often wonder how other countries celebrate Christmas, especially Australia.
It's that time of the year again. It' Christmas! It's time to shop and give gifts in celebration! Searching for the perfect gift for that special someone can be difficult sometimes. Here's an idea to help alleviate some of that Christmas stress. Make that person a gift. This is easy and makes the gift more personal.

Here is my Cro->HRE game
I was having alot of luck in the game. Turkey didn't attacked me, and i did randomly get the emperor title, and from that date, i started to steam roll everyone.
First victim
What to say, after the war, France didn't conquer anymore and it was slowly dying. After 23 years they were a minor nation.
Second victim(first as emperor)
Killed Scandinavia, they are a minor nation now
Third victim(second as emperor)
Turkey was the strongest nation in the world! I was having ready a 100k army against them, but it was not even enough to kill them. Thanx to my vassals (Austria!) i managed to throw them away from my border, and release Rome.
I'm so edgy, I've been called a sword.
I'm so rational, I've been mistaken for Descartes.
I'm so noble, I've been crowned a King.
I'm such a rebel, I rebelled from the Rebel Alliance, and then rebelled from that Rebellion.
I have such little admiration, I shot myself in the face twice in order to prove how little of an achievement surviving a gunshot is.

Nicely done! But you didn't colonize everything. (Never mind the fact that with another 140 years you could do it easily. Actually, now that I think about it, colonization would be tricky if you're trying to remain an OPM. You'd have to rely on vassals, unless you count colonizing and then immediately selling the province to a vassal. But with that method you couldn't get inland colonies.)
I'd imagine you're doing pretty good in tech.
Isn't the idea of vassalage that a powerful, strong (and probably BIG) nation protects some weaker (and probably SMALLER) nations? ... Oh, nevermind, forget it...
Seriously, i think this is the most awesome thing i've seen so far in EU3. I even think this is better than any traditional WC!

A pale, subdued and elegant pink attracts you and pulls you in with its sensuality. The first aroma is clean, pure and almost crystalline; little by little citrus aromas subtly emerge with memories of fresh white fruit and a touch of cassis. The nose also gives rise to a certain creaminess, lending to its complexity. The clean, direct sensation of the nose changes radically in the mouth where it combines a smooth, voluminous and fruity texture with a pleasant freshness and fine bubbles. Driven by a very good balance, this long lingering cava stretches to a finish pleasantly reminiscent of fresh fruit.
"The outstanding 2009 De Nit (rose) has an almost hypnotic, perfect pale hue that is worth the price alone! A blend of classic Cava varieties with 5% Monastrell, it is sourced from 30- to 40-year-old vines from the estate. The nose is very subtle and very pretty with traces of rosewater, fish scale and Morello cherries, all beautifully defined and drawing you in. The palate is crisp and tense on the entry: a minimalist rose cave that is based on freshness and poise rather than delivering fruit intensity. It is a delicate, very pretty, harmonious Cava rose that is sensual and alluring. Who needs Champagne when Cava can be as good as this? Drink now-2015+."

A Course in Commercial Law
A commercial law course to underpin your tax skills
Course overview
Approved by the Tax Practitioners Board (TPB) as a suitable course in commercial law, the program consists of three stand-alone units:
- CommLaw1 – Australian Legal Systems
- CommLaw2 – Entities & Business Structures
- CommLaw3 – Property Law.
Designed to meet TPB requirements
The course units have been designed to develop understanding of the commercial law environment in which the registered tax agent is engaged, in line with the Tax Practitioners Board (TPB) educational eligibility requirements for registration as a tax agent.
Underpin your tax skills
Designed to strengthen the skills of all tax professionals, The Tax Institute has delivered a commercial law course because it is no longer possible to undertake the professional responsibilities of a registered tax agent without regular, if not consistent, engagement with Australia's commercial law environment.
Why choose the Course in Commercial Law?
- Provides an exact match of the TPB's content, duration and assessment requirements.
- Gain an understanding of our legal system to carry out the services required of a tax agent.
- Study only the unit you require through our modular approach and flexible distance-study format.
Why are we delivering a commercial law course?
In the video below, Dale Pinto, CTA, Professor of Taxation Law at Curtin University, Chair of our Education, Examination and Quality Assurance Board, and board member of the TPB (2009 – 2012) explains why The Tax Institute has developed a Course in Commercial Law.

Listening as students chanted his name from the stands, Everette Mayes flashed a sheepish grin and stepped to the foul line.
Moments earlier, Mayes missed two free throws off the front of the iron. But not this time.
Mayes drained his first attempt, breaking a tie game with 1.7 seconds remaining to send Austin High past James Clemens 40-39 Monday night in the Class 6A, Area 16 title game.
As the Area 16 champion, Austin (18-7) hosts Hazel Green on Friday in a sub-regional game, while James Clemens (16-15) travels to Sparkman. The winners advance to the Northwest Regional at Wallace State-Hanceville.
"The way our guys handled those last two possessions was huge," Austin coach Demond Garth said. "Several different guys stepped up, and now we get to host, which is very important."
Austin's players — and fans — understood the magnitude of the situation. When the final buzzer sounded before James Clemens attempted a desperation shot, everyone on the Black Bears' bench were on their feet celebrating.
The players were greeted by celebrating students as they made their way into the locker room.
"That was a tiring game, right there," Mayes said. "I think we were still drained from our game Friday night, so we weren't as sharp as we needed to be. We still found a way, though."
And it wasn't easy.
James Clemens led by four in the second quarter, which was the largest margin of the night. For most of the second half, both teams struggled to build a cushion larger than one point.
Alphonse Johnson led James Clemens with 10 points.
"We guarded them well — really well," Garth said. "But we knew it was going to be like this. They're a good team."
After two lead changes and one tie in the final minute of regulation, Austin reserve Josh Walker provided one of the biggest plays of the night by picking up a loose ball under the James Clemens basket. After a timeout, Mayes drove to the basket on the Black Bears' final possession and drew a foul with 1.7 seconds remaining.
Mayes finished with eight points, while Camron Reedus finished with 12. Troy Harris added 10.
"Going to the free-throw line that last time, I know it was loud in here, but I didn't hear anything," Mayes said. "I blocked everything out, and for some reason, I felt refreshed — like it was the beginning of the game.
"We weren't going to lose this game. It was too important. Now we get to host on Friday, which is exactly what we wanted."
Austin girls 54, James Clemens 39: Holding a long-awaited trophy tightly, Aaliyah Rice turned toward Austin's bleachers with a huge smile and held the hardware above her head.
For the Austin forward, winning the program's first area title since 2001 was the ultimate present for her 16th birthday.
Austin used a fast start to end a 12-year drought, beating James Clemens for the Class 6A, Area 16 title.
As the Area 16 champion, Austin (22-7) hosts Bob Jones on Thursday in a sub-region game, while James Clemens travels to Sparkman.
"Best birthday present ever," Rice said while holding balloons as she walked out of the locker room.
Her Austin teammates shared those sentiments.
Usually quiet and reserved players participated in an enthusiastic celebration, and those joyful emotions lingered well after the game ended.
"You have no idea how happy I am right now," senior point guard Takisha Jordan said. "This has been a long time coming. We've worked so hard to get this. I'm so excited, I'm going to be jumpy all night."
Fellow senior Meagan Hamilton agreed.
"It hit me by the fourth quarter," she said. "By the time the third quarter was over, I couldn't stop telling myself, 'We've done it. We're area champs.' "
Austin left no doubt about which team was best. The Black Bears opened the game with a 16-4 run and led by more than 15 for most of the second half.
Tyra Johnson led Austin with 13 points, while Jordan scored 12, with nine coming in the first quarter. Katie Speegle tossed in 12, and Hamilton drained three 3-pointers in the first quarter to finish with nine points.
"I'm proud of the girls," Austin coach Bruce Hamilton said. "They've worked hard for this. We've been close, played in area championship games before. But to finally get over that hump and win the area, it's huge for these girls."

I turned to your company when the bully sticks I had been ordering from another company got thinner and less dense resulting in a very quick chew. I informed them that the quality had changed but got no response. I searched the internet for a another company and decided to try your bully sticks. I am very pleased with the quality (thick and dense) that makes for a long satisfying chew for my two dogs. The price is also good when I buy in bulk. (Posted on 1/10/14)

Oh what could have been. Sure the Nike LeBron 9 Elite got more colorways than other pairs with the same premium designation, but can you imagine if Nike Basketball went even further with it? Actually you don't have to imagine thanks to this, the latest look at the Nike LeBron 9 Elite sporting the 'Galaxy' look as established by its Nike LeBron 9 counterpart. Unlike the 'Dunkman' we showed you earlier in the day this pair stays pretty true to the original, even rocking the same lion style badge on the tongue.

Entertaining cozy mystery about a Minnesota librarian who gets dumped by her boyfriend just hours before they are to leave on a much anticipated first trip to London. He takes another woman in her place. Our brokenhearted yet determined-to-see-London heroine Karen buys another ticket and flies over on their flight, half-seriously planning revenge. I loved the references to London, books, and the ending was just perfect. To be a series. Written by Mary Logue using the pen name Mary Lou Kirwin. HCL librarian Mary S. is mentioned in Kirwin's acknowledgments!

Eugene Non-Profit Works to Ban Pesticide Responsible for Major Bee Die-off
By Rachael McDonald
An estimated 25-thousand bumblebees were found dead in a parking lot in Wilsonville (Oregon) this week. The Oregon Department of Agriculture has confirmed the killer is an insecticide recently sprayed on nearby Linden trees. in Eugene, an effort is underway to stop the use of the chemical in city parks.
Lisa Arkin with the Eugene non-profit Beyond Toxics has been working to eliminate the use of neonicotinoids in Eugene parks. The popular pesticide is known to kill bees. Public Works confirms the chemical is no longer being sprayed. Arkin has asked the Eugene City Council to pass an ordinance to prohibit the insecticide on public property.
Arkin: "And that's one of the best things a local government can do is set a model that can then be adopted by other local governments, eventually state governments, and national governments. And it can be done because we know that in the European Union, this class of insecticides has been banned."
Scott Black with the Xerces Society of Portland is heartened by the changes taking place in Eugene. He believes the die off of Wilsonville bees is the biggest of its kind in history. The Linden Trees in the lot have been covered in nets to prevent more bees from dying.
Oregon Department of Agriculture is still investigating the incident to determine if the pesticide application was in violation of state and federal pesticide regulations.

When service members return from active duty, they're more likely to face severe financial challenges than civilians, new research finds.
Service members are almost twice as likely to carry some credit card debt from month-to-month (58%) than civilians (34%), according to a new survey carried out by the National Foundation for Credit Counseling and Pioneer Services, a division of MidCountry Bank in Bloomington, Minn. What's more, twice as many service members as civilians have paid less than the minimum required payment in the last 12 months (6% for service members versus 3% for civilians), the survey found.
Can a better bedside manner improve health?
Nurses, aides and doctors need to have an awareness of the impact of bedside manner and patient health, Dr. James Merlino, chief experience officer at the Cleveland Clinic, says.
Veterans also appear to be more pessimistic about their financial future. A majority (55%) believe they are ill-prepared for a financial emergency, the study found. (Only 43% of the general population was concerned about not having enough savings for an emergency, a separate 2013 survey by the NFCC found.) "Men and women in uniform face many challenges and daily sacrifices while serving our country — financial concerns shouldn't be one of them," says Susan Keating, president and CEO of the NFCC.
Perhaps more surprising, however, is how even minor financial issues can spiral into bigger problems for veterans. Military veterans who report having relatively minor financial problems, such as bouncing a check or going over their credit limit, are four times more likely to become homeless within the next year than veterans without such problems, according to a survey of 1,000 Iraq and Afghanistan veterans published in the American Journal of Public Health last year.
Though there are resources for veterans who need them — the National Association of American Veterans and U.S. Soldiers Foundation help them access health benefits and finances, and USA Cares aims to help veterans prevent foreclosure/eviction and provides financial aid — some 30% of veterans in the survey said they'd gone over their credit limit, bounced or forged a check, been reported to a collection agency, or fallen victim to a money scam within the last year, the study found.
One theory for the financial challenges: The winding down of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan came at a challenging time for the U.S. economy. The transition to civilian life after a harrowing experience in Iraq or Afghanistan —especially in a choppy job market, has been a challenge for many veterans, according to a 2012 survey of 2,453 service members, 1,845 of whom were veterans of the second Gulf War, carried out by Prudential Financial Inc. for the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.
Two-thirds of veterans also experienced a difficult transition from military to civilian life and nearly half did not feel ready to transition, the survey concluded. Difficulties are largely attributed to unemployment and health challenges, it found. Two-thirds said they are facing a health challenge as a result of their military service. As a result, many expressed the need for time to figure out what's next in their lives or simply have time to "decompress" after their period of military duty.
Access to proper health care is also critical. Veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder, major depressive disorder, or traumatic brain injury typically have lower income and employment levels, according to a 2012 study, "Financial Well-Being and Post-deployment Adjustment Among Iraq and Afghanistan War Veterans," published in Military Medicine, the international journal of The Society of the Federal Health Professionals. That finding is consistent with other research on veterans in the U.S. and U.K., says Eric Elbogen, a co-author of the study and associate professor of psychiatry in the University of North Carolina School of Medicine.
Explaining how their military experience translates to skills in the civilian jobs market was a "consistent theme" for veterans and a barrier to employment, says Lauren Augustine, legislative associate at the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, a non-profit advocacy group dedicated to U.S. veterans of the War in Iraq and War in Afghanistan. "It's a life transition, a change of health care, location and their lifestyle." In fact, 69% said they consider "finding a job" the greatest challenge in transitioning.
Some companies have been proactively hiring veterans, however. Big-box retailer Wal-Mart Stores Inc. WMT, -0.69% , for instance, has pledged to hire 100,000 veterans by 2018. Last year, the company said it will offer a job to any veteran in his/her 12 months after active duty in stores. "Hiring a veteran is smart business," Cory Lundberg, spokesman for Wal-Mart. "They are highly trained and have outstanding leadership qualities."

Student Code of Conduct
About our Process | Purpose | Jurisdiction | Violations of Law | Timeline for Reporting | Additional Resources | Student Conduct Policies | Student Conduct Procedures
About Our Process
Colorado College is committed to providing a safe environment that is conducive to academic success for each member of its community while fostering socially responsible and productive citizens. Optimal education occurs when each member of the community makes a positive contribution by their presence. Though the liberal arts tradition encourages individual pursuits of knowledge, this must be balanced by the needs of the community. To this end, the Colorado College Student Code of Conduct is founded on five community values: respect, integrity, responsibility, community, and fairness.
It is a privilege for students to attend Colorado College and it is expected that all students uphold the spirit of these community values in their daily lives. All students are expected to cooperate with college officials and any investigations of possible misconduct. Students who are found responsible for violating any of the community values or Student Conduct Policies in the Student Code of Conduct will typically be held accountable through the Student Conduct Procedures outlined in The Pathfinder. The Student Code of Conduct is not intended to be an exhaustive list of rules to follow; rather, students are expected to internalize and make appropriate decisions based on the "spirit" of the policies.
The spirit of our student code of conduct is educational in nature. Our values of respect, integrity, responsibility, community and fairness are intended to be internalized by our students in hopes that they will make choices, which reflect these values. Our purpose in responding to alleged conduct violations is to educate one another and provide an opportunity for growth and development. We also understand that punitive responses may be necessary at times to aid in facilitating this development, while ensuring the Colorado College community remains healthy and whole. Although students don't often enter the student conduct process of their own accord, there are many benefits that can be can gained from their involvement. Our conduct process is centered around eight outcomes reflecting what we hope students will gain through the experience.
Cognitive Complexity
- Students will be able to explain their decision-making process.
- Students will be able to identify the behavior they engaged in and why it is a violation of the College's community values.
- Students will be able to articulate the need for institutional policies and the specific reasoning for the alleged policy violation.
- Students will be able to communicate what CC's community values mean to them personally.
- Students will be able to explain how accountability for their choices and behaviors help them become a better member of the CC community.
- Students will be able to explain how their behavior affects others in their community.
- Students will be able to articulate their role within the CC Student Conduct Process.
By accepting admission to and enrolling at Colorado College, students are obligated to align their behaviors with the values of Colorado College, the Student Code of Conduct, and other college policies and procedures. Students may be summarily dismissed from Colorado College by the president of the college, the vice president for student life/dean of students, or the dean's designee if the student's conduct is not in the best interest of the college or their behavior is deemed in violation of these standards. The Student Code of Conduct and the student conduct process apply to the conduct of individual students, informal groups of students, and college-recognized groups of students.
As the Student Code of Conduct is based on shared values, it sets a range of expectations for the Colorado College student no matter where or when the conduct may take place. Therefore, the Student Code of Conduct applies to behaviors that take place on the campus, at college-sponsored events or programs, and applies off-campus - whenever the administration determines that the off-campus conduct has a direct impact on the educational mission or interests of the college. Colorado College students studying in off-campus contexts or participating in college sponsored programs remain responsible to uphold the Colorado College Student Code of Conduct as well as the laws relevant to their location. The Student Code of Conduct also applies to conduct that takes place at any time from the date that a student is offered admission to the college until the student has completed graduation - including summers and between semesters. Further, the Student Code of Conduct applies to students when they host guests from the community who violate college policies. In these cases, students may be held accountable for the misconduct of their guests.
In general, any behavior that discredits the student or the college, as determined by the Student Code of Conduct, may result in disciplinary action.
Violations of Law
Violations of federal, state, and local laws are incorporated as offenses under the Student Code of Conduct. Such violations of law occurring either on or off campus may result in the initiation of conduct proceedings, especially if college leadership determines that the behavior has a direct impact on the educational mission or interests of the college. Colorado College may initiate conduct proceedings against a student charged with violating federal, state, or local laws without regard to the existence or possibility of civil or criminal proceedings. It is the policy of Colorado College to pursue timely resolution through its conduct proceedings, rather than to delay campus proceedings until the outcome of criminal and/or civil proceedings.
Timeline for Reporting
Those who are aware of misconduct are encouraged to report it as quickly as possible to any Division of Student Life staff member, the Student Life Office, and/or campus safety. Students concerned about possible conduct ramifications that might arise from providing the college with notice of potential acts of misconduct should understand that the College may, at its discretion, grant students reprieve from sanctions.
Colorado College may also extend its jurisdiction to alleged misconduct that occurs prior to, but is not reported until after the graduation of the accused student, as long as the alleged misconduct is reported within six months of its occurrence. Otherwise, there is no time limit on reporting of violations of the Student Code of Conduct, as long as the offending student is still enrolled at Colorado College. However, the longer one waits to report an incident, the harder it becomes for the college to obtain evidence and witness statements and make a determination regarding alleged violations.
Visitors to and guests of Colorado College are also protected by the Student Code of Conduct. Visitors and guests may report violations of the Student Code of Conduct committed by members of the Colorado College community against them to the Student Life Office or Campus Safety.

Movie nights in Siem Reap
With Siem Reap's first International Film Festival underway this weekend, it's high time we looked at what other options film fans have when the festival has passed. First, to break the bad news: Siem Reap is not Bangkok. There are no mega-cinemas to be found here. But on the positive side, Siem Reap is not … read the full post

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- On social media, folks were having a field day--with a little shake and bake--to team Ricky and Bobby at UofL.
Others say in "Tom we Trust," as in Louisville's Athletic Director Tom Jurich who always seems to come to the rescue; he will have his critics for this hire.
One man saying no comment when WHAS11 asked about Petrino, another saying he's a good coach.
But it appears Bobby's back and ready to get a second chance from Jurich.
Petrino did not leave on the best of terms with Louisville --later suffering a full meltdown getting fired from Arkansas after an extramarital affair and a motorcycle accident.
And it was during those dark times that he reached out to Jurich for advice, Jurich did not reveal in a previous interview what that advice was, but he did say it was between them.
We do know the two have remained friends.
So is this about second chances, or needing a good coach as UofL heads into the ACC or a bit of both.
We know Petrino can coach; the Cards were 41 and 9 under him.
Coaching and teaching is in his blood.
There is no under the radar right now for Petrino when all eyes are on a second chance, and whether Jurich got it right or wrong.

Vans OTW Bedford – Fall 2013 Colorways
May 29th, 2013 by Aaron Hope | 1 comment
The Vans OTW Bedford has been fairly quiet as other models including new debuts from Off the Wall's skate-inspired lifestyle label garnered more attention. Luckily for fans of this OG OTW style, it's coming back, and in a couple of colorways that happen to be among the sneaker world's most popular. The Canvas Bedford has 'Tiffany' and 'Bred' makeups ready for the fall season, both of which add some visual flair by way of ticked laces and the hint of a pattern on the sockliner. Check out both pairs below and stick with Sneaker News for release info.

Surprising Benefits of Slings and Baby Carriers!
Slings and Wraps
Slings or wraps are worn over the shoulder, toga style. The New Native and Maya Wrap are two popular brands. Slings and wraps cross the user's chest and hang above the waist. Newborns and infants with no neck control should be placed on their backs in the folds of the fabric (as if they're lying in a hammock).
Slings allow parents and their babies to share plenty of eye contact. Some mothers use slings to breastfeed discretely in public. Older babies who can sit up unassisted can be worn on mom's hip, with the folds of the sling supporting their bottoms. Toddlers can be positioned piggyback-style.

Fleas don't always die off in the winter. They oftentimes will go into hiding--even in your home. While chances of an infestation on your pet might decrease in winter months, foregoing flea prevention can allow small numbers of fleas to multiply. This can be costly if an infestation occurs.Protect your pets from fleas year-round. Fleas enjoy temperate weather with high humidity, so we often notice fleas most often in the summer. But once the days get shorter and the weather gets colder, we feel at ease and see fleas a lot less often. But just because some of the fleas go into hiding doesn't mean that they are gone. Fleas reproduce year-round where environmental conditions are adequate, especially in southern climates where even the winters are temperate.
They say "out of sight, out of mind", so its no surprise pet owners let up on flea medication during the winter months. But in actuality, even when your pet is infested, only 5 percent of fleas in an infestation will be on your pet.1 The rest will be in the pet's environment such that they are less visible to pet owners. But during the winter months, fleas can survive indoors where it's warm.
Many pet owners opt to use flea medications only after the infestation occurs. They believe this will save them money they dont need to spend on using preventatives like Advantage® II for dogs and cats. But sometimes preventing the problem will save you from a sudden and excessively large cost. Fleas can be on your pet without your knowledge.
If your pet does happen to get infested, you can face quite the financial burden. Flea infestations can often spread throughout a home and it can be costly to remove them from an infested area. Additionally, these fleas can transmit diseases to your pets that can be costly to treat. Aside from the costs, it can be a great deal of effort to have to treat fleas after the fact, combing through fur and checking furniture to ensure that the infestation has been totally eradicated.
One of the leading brands of flea treatments for dogs is K9 Advantix. However, K9 Advantix contains an ingredient that makes it unsuitable for flea treatment on cats. If you are a cat owner, there are still a variety of flea treatments available. Among them are Seresto® and Advantage II®, both of which are flea preventives available in formulations for cats or dogs. For more information on flea preventives, you can look at this buyers guide and this ingredient guide.
Treatment is still an option for risk takers, but we can only see what kind of risk theyre taking if we compare the efficacy of flea repellents with a lack of treatment. Although it depends on the ingredients of your preventive product; studies have shown that flea medication with a particular amount of imidacloprid, one of the active ingredients in K9 Advantix®, is 98.43% effective over the 30-day period for which many topical flea preventives are labeled. Though the study used the original formula for K9 Advantix® rather than the formula for K9 Advantix® II, the formula still uses concentrations of imidicloprid and permethrin.2
Do not use K9 Advantix® II on cats.
K9 Advantix, Advantage and Seresto are registered trademarks of Bayer.

First, I love this shoe. No need for other shoes below the snow line if you have good ankle support. The Vibram grip is insane, way more than you are used to with normal hiking boots, since this shoe flexes more and gives you more surface area. It's really comfortable too. I used this shoe for two month of intense hiking, scrambling, and even rock climbing. Only drawback, after all this abuse it is pretty much worn out and falling apart. The durability could be a little bit better!
I had these shoes and they were not right for me. I have a wider foot and they were not comfortable on the sides. The tongues seem to keep sliding to the side and this is something ive heard from other people with the same shoe. I had to return but they could be perfect for you.

Steve Farrell says:
A leading motorcycle group is demanding a Government investigation into "prejudice" of courts after a drink-driver got three years' jail for killing a biker.
The Motor Cycle Action Group (MAG) says the sentence is too lenient and at odds with a string of high-profile cases in which riders have been jailed despite injuring no one.
The group is calling for...

From recent stories it would appear that the courts apply an "expectancy of death" when incidents involve motorcyclists, in which the driver is not seen to be at fault for blatant incompetence or negligence. I really do hope that there is an investigation, but I fear it will be brushed over yet again.

The fact that he said that shows us the guys personality, he knowlingly drinks then drives then doesnt mind when he kills somebody, isnt that close to murder?
I personally hope that this dispicable prick gets gang raped everyday of his stay in prison, then gets run over by a drink driver the day he is released!

What a disgusting remark, the unspeakable bastard grrrr. It's always been the same in my experience if you ride a bike your'e somehow a second class citizen. I feel very sorry for Jason and his family. I can just imagine Borrett's family and friends after the verdict. Oh yes they've locked poor Richard up and all he did was kill a chap on a motorcycle.

Ok, ignore the subject headline. But after reading a lot of "motorcycle accident press" (it's not good to do that you know), I may (if I may) compare it too a "young girl" getting raped wearing a short skirt, low cut top and make-up and the judge saying she was asking for it. NO, NO, NO, NO, for God sake No! She was not asking for and neither are bikers!
You can't turn around and say "well if he wasn't on the road, on a motorbike it would never happened". The courts should see it as a death caused by another person. Pure and simple. One law for all and should not be left to "Well, bikes, they are dangerous things ridden by dangerous people" judges.
And any remark like that bloke made. He deserves all he gets in life and I hope if the courts won't give Jason justis then I hope God will.

This guy is a depressing example of a man. To be responsible for killing another human being, denying the obvious, showing no compassion or remorse is sick.
I wonder how he'd behave if someone he "knows" was killed by someone as dispicable as himself?
3 years jail for manslaughter, is there no justice in the world?
My heart goes out to the Mickelburgh family.
I like your analogy there Street3r... I like it a lot... however we aren't "wearing a short skirt, low cut top"... we aren't actually placing ourselves in harms way & hoping to escape with our lives... we are just vulnerable & people should have the same attitude towards us as cyclists & pedestrians. Recently a woman killed 2 motorcyclists she didn't see... had that been 2 people at a crossing there would have been outrage but 2 bikers is OK... sickening & wrong.

I'm pleased that this has been brought to the direct attention of us motorcyclists. It highlights how corrupt the legal system is. With strict liability offences and a 'history' of offending it is highly likely that a jail sentence will knock on your door with what could only be described as a nonsense offence (speeding for instance). I'll be off to jail if I ever get caught at a reasonable enough speed so I am talking from experience.
This guy most likely had a clean record, the alcohol mentioned is not grossly excessive and he is quite old. Drink driving doesn't seem to differentiate between pissed and absolutely legless so if you're going to get pissed and drive you may as well over do it. This guy showed some constraint.
He killed a motorcyclist. We don't have the exact details of how it all happened so I will not be commenting on it to a great degree. I would've thought given the alcohol in his system and the fact he killed someone should've resulted in a very substantial sentence. Instead he is going to walk free in 1 1/2 years!!! It sends the completely wrong message out.
I agree entirely that the courts are corrupt.
I would personally bin strict liability, bin 'points' for speeding and other minor offences (basing the system of fining on YEARLY income (total income) plus net assets and I would also bring in a 5 yearly driving test for everyone (don't pass first time then you have 6 weeks to resit otherwise you're off the road until you do).
Such a sad sad story and I can't rant too much. I can only hope that the comment about not knowing the biker and not caring if he's dead was said in shock or misheard as if it was said then I would hang the guy.

Prius is the quintessential green car, the car all other hybrids strive to emulate, and beat. So far, the only contender is another Prius. EPA estimates a whopping 50 mpg in the city and an unbeaten 48 mpg on the highway. These aren't pie-in-the-sky numbers; even our leadfoots manage to achieve these numbers without trying too hard.
Pros & cons: Prius is unparalleled in terms of hybrids currently on the road, so if you're looking for fuel economy and decent interior volume, don't look any further. Seriously. Back-seat is spacious, and cargo volume is beyond usable at 21.6 cubic feet. Plus, rear seats fold flat for a maximum cargo capacity of 39.6 cubic feet. Hello, Ikea. Interior materials are a little bit plasticky, and the gauges and controls are less than pretty, but neither is a deal breaker in our book.
What's new: Prius remains relatively unchanged for the 2012 model year, but the Prius lineup adds a plug-in model, Prius c and the Prius v for 2012. Hence, Prius has gone plural. We now have Prii.
Ride & performance: The ride in the Prius is going to be a little bit rough, but mostly comfortable for long rides over smooth pavement. Prius comes equipped with a 1.8-liter, 4-cylinder engine and a pair of electric motors. Combined output is a very nice 134 horsepower. While acceleration off the start is a little sluggish, Prius does well in traffic maneuvers.
Family value: Amazingly for a compact car, we can give a resounding yes. Latch anchors for child seats are standard in Prius, plus rear-seat space is pretty generous. The biggest bonus is that generous cargo volume will let you trek around Chicago with your kids and all their stuff.
Fun factor: Prius is fun in a "co-exist" kind of way, which means that the fun part is: You get one of the greenest cars out there that doubles as a city car, family car or a I-need-to-make-a-trip-to-Costco kind of car. Bluetooth and iPod input jack are also standard. Oh, and for less than $25K.
Safety: Prius comes equipped with front airbags, front and rear head airbags, front knee airbags, stability control, traction control and tire pressure monitoring. Optional safety features available on higher-end trim levels: rear back up camera, a pre-collision system and lane-departure warning.

How can the Islamic and non-Islamic peoples get along better?
There is a lot of conflict between Islamic and non-Islamic people:
. War in Iraq.
. War in Afghanistan
. Chechnya/Russia.

. Uyghurs of China

May 12 2011: I think a lot of it has to do with tolerance. People need to learn to be less afraid of others who are "different" and instead choose to love all humans equally. I think that breaking away from nation-states and accepting a more global citizen attitude will also encourage others to connect on a deeper level.
However, I doubt that the idea of tolerance/acceptance will be used by military forces, and it is hard to believe that we will ever see peace in the near future.
Debra Smith 200+
May 15 2011: Hi Paige. Looks like you kicked off an interesting discussion. My question is - how do we become tolerant/respectful of people who are acting in ways that we can't tolerate (discriminating against women, corporal punishment, etc)?
aside: I'm sure others find things they can't tolerate in us - our military domination, deterioration of family, pornography, etc.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"This card is so beautiful in person. I ordered this card with one minor difference, which was that the blue lettering in the black & blue preview be made into purple. It has such a beautiful charm to it that is perfect. The paper is thick, the printing is spot-on on every card and the color is vibrant without being overly bright. The shade "purple" is a medium purple, which is sort of muted, which is exactly what I hoped for. I will definitely be ordering my save the date's and invites from WPD. They also quoted me arrival by 4/8/14-4/9/14 but they arrived on 4/2/14! Talk about service! Thanks again!"
"I am so very happy with my invites, they turned out just how I wanted them too and they look gorgeous. I customised a few things and these were perfect on the first proof and they arrived exactly when they said they would. I've had many compliments from guests about the style and the quality, I'm a very happy customer =)"
"From the beginning of the process when we worked up the sample online, to requesting a custom color - then needing to change it - to working with the designer and customer service, and receiving invites several days ahead of schedule, this process was fantastic. I would not hesitate to order again and refer others to order from here as well. My daughter and future son-in-law love the invites and color and quality."
"It was a smooth process from beginning to end. I love this design and ordered it with a black background. It turned out beautifully. I even received a handwritten thank you card from the vendor. I cannot wait to mail these out next month for my wedding shower. I am very pleased with this product, the customization options, and the customer service I received."
"The customer service was excellent. I did a 2-day business shipping and received the invites timely and in perfect condition. The envelopes were simple and pretty and closed properly!"
