Whats a good way to increase my actions per minute (apm)? Please note I don't want Starcraft 2 to become my life either, so reasonable strategies would be much appreciated, but please provide any solution :p.
Don't APM spam useless actions.
While lots of people on youtube will do this to appear better, no professional player does this. Often times jitters at the start of a match will cause them to select between multiple units but Starcraft does not register this as actions. During the course of battle you will see professional players microing units with a large number of clicks for a given move, or swap between a dozen different buildings to keep track of queues, or send new workers to mineral patches (no auto rally in SC1). This is not spam, every one of the actions has a directed purpose.
Additionally, Splitting your workers (having them divide to different patches at the beginning of a match) was necessary in Starcraft 1 as the AI was less intelligent. There have been studies in Starcraft 2 to show that the effects of this are below the margin for error. While many pro Starcraft 2 players still do this, it is hold over from Starcraft 1, not a necessary strategy.
There are a number of resources you can use to help your apm. My favorite is the SC2 Multitasking trainer map by Stet_TCL. You can find information on it here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=124983
The design is to build an army to assault an enemy base while keeping a probe on an island alive through micromanagement and picking up a stranded high templar all in a time limit. It is VERY hard, but an excellent training resource.
I wouldn't worry about APM. Focus on build order, keeping your resources spent, scouting, harassing, and micro (There's already several custom maps focused on this). If you can keep all that juggled then your APM will be improving as a matter of course. Training AMP is just a way to free up your brain so you can focus on the actual strategy of the game.
To increase your APM you have to increase your finger speed. Good ways to increase your speed on a training map:
The basic idea is to identify small routines that you will have to execute during a game and to automate them. Imagine you are heavy supply stuck, but there is a battle. Go to your base select some SCVs and build a bunch of Supply Depots. Then queue them to the Minerals again and return to battle etc.
Good ways to increase your APM in the first 2-3 minutes in the game:
Now you should be able to press the buttons very fast and reach up to 100+ APM. But the most important part is to know where to invest your APM. You have to get a feeling for this by playing a lot of games.
If you are not issuing commands all the time, you are doing it wrong. Use this time to check the progress of your production facilities and upgrades. Send out a single scout or make a drop.
As legendary guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen says of personal improvement,
"Never, ever, start with the wrong technique."
Basically, world-class Starcraft 2 pros have such high APM because they've simply practiced more than anyone else. If you reach a point in your life where you've practiced as much as them, your APM will probably be that high too.
However, it's also very important to fully customize your set-up until it works perfectly for you.
From the Starcraft: Wings of Liberty Strategy guide, "Setting up a custom hotkey profile is the first thing you should do."
For example, I was able to drastically increase my APM by customizing the keyboard so that hotkey groups are handled with the keypad (since I'm a lefty.)
The important thing is to practice on your own customized set-up. Practice on a set-up that's not ideal won't build the right skills.
Practice. Practice. Practice!
One thing the pros do is they maximize their APM, even during the first couple minutes of the game when there isn't much to do. Right when the match starts, and you're moving workers to the minerals, send all of them to one mineral patch, but then divide into smaller groups while they're moving, and manually send them to other patches.
Watch some videos of what pros with high APM are doing. A lot of their actions aren't entirely necessary, but it gets them in a high-APM mode.
Blizzard has a sticky poll titled, "APM Racing" which focuses on APM.
Some key takeaways from the comments
Try practicing at Guitar Hero! I can play with 300+ APM and make my hands a blur and also play tracks like "GH3 Solo Suite 3" on 95-99%.
It's not necessary though, but it's very good to spam a lot at the start of the game so you get in the "ZONE".
APMs purpose is a lot of things, everything really. But most importantly MULTITASKING: being able to spread creep, inject larva, cast fungals transfuse abduct etc, in a matter of seconds efficiently is key to victory.

Graduate School - Academic Definitions, Policies and Regulations
Academic Definitions
Grade Point Average
A student's grade point average (GPA) is based on courses taken at ACU. It is determined by dividing the total number of grade points (see the table below) by the total number of hours attempted (not including hours where grade points are not counted). Current GPA is a student's GPA for a single term; cumulative GPA is the overall GPA for all the terms a student has been enrolled in ACU. All graduate students must have a minimum of 3.0 GPA on all work taken at ACU for graduate credit to graduate.
The table below lists the grades used in the Graduate School at ACU. The grade point values shown are per semester hour of credit.
|Not counted
|Withdraw Passing
|Not counted
|Withdraw Failing
Course Load
For a fall or spring term, a full load is defined as 9 credit hours, a three-fourths load as 6 hours and a half load as 4.5 hours. Full-time students may enroll for as many as 12 hours. Master of Accountancy students may enroll in 15 hours, Master of Science in Social Work students may enroll in 16 hours, and Master of Divinity students may enroll in 13 hours. A student must seek approval from the graduate dean to enroll in more than 3 hours in one summer session. A combination of graduate and undergraduate hours normally may not total more than 15 hours for a fall or spring term, or a total of 9 hours for all summer sessions.
Students employed full time should not enroll for more than 9 hours during any semester and 3 hours during a summer term. The combined teaching load and course load of a graduate assistant or an instructor should normally not exceed 15 semester hours.
Course Numbering
ACU uses a three-digit course numbering system. Courses numbered 500, 600 and 700 are graduate level courses. At the master's level at least half of all graduate credit must be in 600 or 700-level courses.
Courses numbered 700 or above in the Graduate School of Theology may be taken by doctoral students only.
Graduate Policies and Regulations
It is the student's responsibility to know and comply with the regulations and requirements contained in this catalog. Graduate advisors are helpful in preparing degree plans and assisting students in their degree progress. This assistance, however, does not alter the primary responsibility of the student to adhere to policies published in the catalog.
The student is responsible for class registration each semester. The student should consult with his or her advisor before registration. In some cases the advisor can complete the registration for the student. Students may also call the Graduate School for assistance with registration.
NOTE: See the Online Schedule Bulletin each semester for dates, deadlines and more complete registration instructions. Failure to complete the registration process appropriately may result in being dropped from all classes.
Graduate credits earned at ACU prior to admission to a degree program may, with the consent of the advisor and the graduate dean, be used in satisfying prerequisites (leveling requirements) or degree requirements.
Transfer of graduate work from other institutions must be approved by the student's departmental advisor and by the graduate dean and must fall within the time limit for degrees (see Degree Time Limit). However, grades from transfer work do not apply toward the GPA at ACU. Transfer credit may not constitute more than 25 percent of the hours required for a degree. No grade below a "B" will be accepted in transfer. Graduate courses taken by correspondence may not be transferred to ACU.
The number of credit hours for various degrees ranges from 30 to 84. All ACU master's degrees require a minimum of 30 semester hours. The doctorate requires a minimum of 30 hours beyond the master's degree.
Before enrolling, the first-semester graduate student should consult the chair or graduate director of his or her major department and develop a degree plan, which is a course guide. Of the hours required for a master's degree at least one-half must be in 600 or 700-level courses. All doctoral students' hours must be in 700-level courses.
If degree plans are changed during a program, the student is responsible to notify the Graduate School. Degree audits are conducted according to the catalog in effect at the time of enrollment. If problems arise, students are urged to confer with their advisors or, upon request of an advisor, with the dean of the Graduate School.
Any student changing degree programs or changing a major within a degree program must notify the Graduate School. Any student changing from a certificate program to a degree program must contact the Graduate School. For students to make a change, the department affected must agree. The Add/Change Major form must be sent to the Graduate School. Graduate students are responsible for an up-todate file concerning course work and correspondence from ACU.
The number of semester hours required for various degrees ranges from 30 to 84. When students choose to complete a second master's degree from ACU, they may count a limited number of courses from the first degree toward the second degree if courses from the first degree are also requirements for the second degree. The minimum number of additional hours required for a second master's degree is:
|Degree hours
|Additional hours needed for second degree
|41 or less hours
|24 hours
When combining two degrees, the larger of the two is the basis for calculation of hours required. Please note that these are minimum requirements for two degrees. Departments may have more stringent guidelines. For example in the Graduate School of Theology, no more than half of one degree can be counted toward a second degree. In any case, all requirements for both degrees must be met.
Thesis and Project Requirements
Students who are doing a thesis are responsible for learning the required process for writing and completing a thesis or project. Students who are writing a thesis should obtain a copy of the "ACU Thesis Guide" from the Graduate School. Plan early and follow guidelines and instructions. Students will work with a faculty committee to determine specific requirements for completion.
After students begin formal work on a thesis, they are expected to continue working on it each semester until it is completed and formally approved or until they terminate their graduate career at ACU. In order for the thesis or project to remain in an active status, students must enroll in Thesis each semester (usually fall and spring; summer only if completing) until completion of the thesis. Students must contact the Graduate School to enroll. A maximum of 6 credit hours will be awarded for the thesis or project. Each subsequent registration will be for 0 credit hours, and the student will be charged a continuation fee equal to one hour of tuition at the current rate.
Students failing to maintain continuous registration must be re-admitted to ACU in order to continue and complete the requirements for the degree as stated in the current catalog. The thesis and course work must be completed within the degree time limit.
Repeating a Course
- A graduate student may retake a course only one time. The student must specify that the course is a repeat course at the time of registration.
- If a student withdraws from a "repeated" course, it may be taken again.
- A record of all occurrences of the course will appear on the transcript. Only the most recent grade will be counted in the cumulative GPA. The ability to retake a course may be limited by curriculum changes or by departmental policies.
- If the previous grade is a "C" or below, the grade will still count against the maximum number of low grades allowed for the degree.
The maximum number of "C's" allowed in a graduate program falls under the guidelines from the following table. In each case, a GPA of 3.0 must be maintained for completion of a degree.
|Hours of "C's" Allowed
If a student receives a grade of "D" or "F" in a course, this may constitute grounds for probation or suspension. However, if a student is allowed to continue, not only must the course be retaken, but a "D" or "F" is counted against the limit of "C's" allowed in a program. Courses in which a student receives a grade of "D" or "F" may not be counted toward the degree.
Academic Probation and Suspension
Any student who does not maintain a 3.0 GPA will be placed on academic probation. If during the next enrollment, he or she fails to attain a 3.0 average, he or she may be suspended. Enrollment in a graduate program while on academic probation will not be permitted for more than one 16-week semester.
In the case of suspension, a student may re-apply to the Graduate School after a reasonable length of time as determined in each case by the graduate dean and the department. The student must be able to provide evidence indicating future success. However, re-application does not guarantee admission. The graduate dean, consulting with the department, will decide whether the student should be re-admitted, and if so, whether special conditions should be required for readmission.
When students are re-admitted after suspension, they are placed on probation for one semester and are not eligible for financial aid. If they do not make satisfactory progress that semester, they are required to withdraw from school.
Professors may assign a grade of "I" (Incomplete) or "IP" (In-Progress) only when illness or some significant reasons prevents the student from completing a course by the end of the semester. An "IP" must be removed during the next 16-week semester following the one for which it was assigned or it will be automatically converted to an "I." Also, an "I" must be removed during the subsequent 16-week semester or it turns into an "F." As long as an "I" grade remains on a student's record, it is counted as an "F" in computing the GPA. Incomplete work cannot be submitted for a grade after one year from the end of the semester in which the student was enrolled in the course. Exceptions are selected practica, internships, thesis and thesis projects where grades of "IP" remain.
The student is responsible for requesting and completing an "I" when applicable. A student who enrolls in a class and does not attend (or stops attending) but does not officially withdraw is assigned a failing grade for that class.
The time begins with the earliest course taken that applies to the degree program. After a student has enrolled for graduate credit, all work for the master's degree must be completed within six years for 30-45 hour degrees; seven years for 46-61 hour degrees; and eight years for degrees up to 90 hours. This regulation applies to work being transferred from another institution as well as to work done at ACU.
Students who audit a course are normally charged the audit fee according to the university billing practice. Students sometimes later wish to change the audit to a course grade. However, this practice is not permitted.
The ACU Graduate School, through action of the graduate dean, reserves the right to refuse continued enrollment to any student who is negligent in conforming to student regulations or academic standards.
A student must make a written request for an exception to any Graduate School policy. For example, a student might wish to request to take additional hours in a given semester or summer term, to transfer more than the maximum number of hours from another institution, to extend his or her maximum time to complete the graduate degree, or some other exception to policy.
Petition forms are available in department offices or in the Graduate School. The student should state the request and provide any necessary supporting material. The form must first be submitted for approval to the graduate advisor, and then will be forwarded to the graduate dean for evaluation and consideration. Most of these requests will be presented to the Graduate Council for approval. The decision of the Graduate Council is final.
The university has a procedure for dispute resolution. In general, the order of resolution is to begin at the initial level of the dispute. Usually, the student should attempt to resolve the dispute with the professor in question or with the advisor, if it is a program matter. The student may then go to the department chair who normally resolves all disputes within the department. The student, however, may appeal the department chair's decision to the college dean, then to the graduate dean and finally to the provost whose decision is final.

…XYZ Design: Informed and inspired by Cape Town
The Wind-up Radio FPR2 is on permanent display at the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Photo provided by ...XYZ Design
Cape Town is one of only three cities shortlisted for the World Design Capital 2014 title, along with Dublin (Ireland) and Bilbao (Spain).
Byron Qually, director of …XYZ Design, an award-winning design firm globally recognised for its leading and innovative design solutions, shared with us how Cape Town has both informed and inspired safe and environmentally friendly designs.
What makes Cape Town a great design city?
Cape Town is a city that supports creativity, and research has shown that it is the most innovative city in the country. The city is culturally, physically and politically complex, and such an environment places additional constraints and responsibility on the city's designers.
Interestingly, such novel pressures have generated innovative solutions, and when the city's design work is aggregated, a profoundly unique design model is starting to emerge. Within the last couple of years, many established capitals throughout the world have started looking to the city for insight.
How does Cape Town inspire your work?
Cape Town is exciting and inspirational, offering a layered urban experience, from its architecture to its history to its cultural complexity. The sheer diversity of Cape Town is both an inspiration and an ongoing challenge. Although the city is a platform to inspire and inform design, it is also a constant reminder that design needs to be strategically positioned to assist those people most in need.
You are well known for designs like the Freeplay wind-up radio and 4 Secs Condom Applicator, which are designs to make life safer and more environmentally friendly. How are these principles reflected in your other designs?
…XYZ Design's philosophy is one that places people and their needs at the centre of our problem-solving design methodology. Designs like the Freeplay wind-up radio and 4 Secs Condom Applicator are about meeting people's needs in a developing context. All our designs are geared to meeting human needs based on an in-depth understanding of the environment in which our designs are used. Ultimately the community, and more specifically the product user, takes precedence over the designer.
Where can members of the public see your designs?
...XYZ Design is located in the Cape Quarter and members of the public are most welcome to pop around to view our work and meet the team of designers. Our products feature in the permanent collections of international design museums, including the Museum of Modern Art (New York) and the Victoria and Albert Museum (London).
In October one of our designs will feature in an exhibition at the Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum (New York).
But you can also find some of our designs in local shops and businesses. For example, Old Mutual, MTN and Breadbin's Freedom Toasters use our interactive kiosks; our Snuza baby monitor is sold at baby stores; and our Torch Tongs are sold at large sports and hardware stores.
In your opinion, what will Cape Town winning the World Design Capital 2014 mean for the local design community?
Designers tend to express themselves through their work; sometimes to the extent that they feel their designs should be self-explanatory. Unfortunately due to the relative lack of exposure design has enjoyed in the past, such a passive approach has led to many talented designers and pioneering ideas going unnoticed. The WDC will hopefully unearth some of these missed opportunities, and most importantly set the conditions for Cape Town to formally promote the city's designers. We hope that it will help to unlock design's potential in the public and private sectors. Already we've seen the value of design being increasingly recognised, and we hope that it will come to be regarded as a key component in any business strategy and government planning.

I've been taking a look at simple Lie algebras for particle physics and I've found myself wondering about the following question. It can be shown that the adjacent roots in a root diagram corresponding to a simple Lie algebra must always lie at either 0 ,30, 45, 60 or 90 degrees (if the rank $\geq2$). In all cases but the 90 degree case (forgetting the trivial 0 degree case), the relative lengths of the roots are uniquely determined given the angle between them. But it turns out that in the 90 degree case there are no constraints whatsoever on their relative lengths. So my first question is: are there infinitely many Lie algebras corresponding to the 90 degree case, one for every possible ratio in the lengths of the roots? Or is there only one algebra, which just doesn't care about the relative lengths of its roots?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! (Ps I am an extremely mediocre graduate physicist, so please go easy on me!)

The called it Crested Ten because it bore the Jameson Crest and was a 10 year old. The old people said it was terrific whiskey and went for it in the shops. Then in the 1970, they changed it to a blend of 65% pure pot still and a patient still grain blend. Its not popular now and is similar to Powers with a little more sherry wood. In any country other than Ireland they would have to remove the 10 from the label as its not 10 year old, its a con. But thats Ireland.

I presume you are refering to Cooley here and the fact they produced Single Malt in Pot Stills and decided they could call it Pure pot still. This practice does not happen any more and I am confident you won't see it again. Cooley have learned their lesson on this after several notable industry experts condemed the practice.

So what's this then?
Even if the label doesn't describe it as such it suggests the message isn't getting through!

FirewallXL5 wrote:Although Irish contributors seem to wish to to draw a veil over it the Irish were most certainly producing both grain whiskey and blends, although in lesser proportions. The overall structure of the 2 industiries was similar but with different emphasis. Just as Scottish grain production was concentrated in a relatively narrow strip in the central belt, so Irish grain was mainly made in Belfast and Derry - talking of course 32 counties at this time.
Aidan wrote:I hadn't heard that (about Old Comber). I know they own the stills from the old Daly Distillery in Tullamore. They have them at Kilbeggan. They also use one small still from there and have made one just the same. The large ones are not being used, at the moment at least.
About the pure pot still - sure lots of countries make whisky from only pot stills. Maybe the term should be pure pot still Irish ...
There was pure pot still (malted and unmalted mash) made in the lowlands at one stage, I believe.
cathach wrote:
I believe that the pot stills from Old Comber are the ones that Cooley use to make their single malt. They have never made a pure pot still as far as the collective knowledge of we few Irish whiskey afficionados has been examined.

I was flooded with requests for me to make the very likable Rainbow Dash in a unique zombie form. I tried being as clean as possible so your perception of Rainbow Dash would stay the same. The only exposed bone is the teeth, and there is only a few gashes or chunks of skin missing on her body. I hope you like this tutorial, because it was kind of confusing to figure out how to turn Rainbow Dash into a zombie. Thanks guys and be sure you enjoy this lesson.

I thought the artistic snobbery & arrogance of Whitney Gould at this paper was gone now, but I guess not. Art is subjective and I see no problem w/ this memorial or the Fonz statue in a city that has no problem letting an orange glorified construction site obscure the best view of the Calatrava.
when the Shorewood High School football team set the record for most consecutive losses in the history of the world, ESPN traveled to Milwaukee to broadcast the game live.
maybe the City of Milwaukee can shoot for having the worst public art and cultural leadership in the world?
with the Bronze Fonze on the way, the implosion of the Film Festival, the demise of the Bamboo garden and the hand of Zeus coming down from the heavens we are well on our way!
maybe Dave Fantle from Visit Milwaukee could chair that committee? has he been contacted for a press quote yet?

Wow, this is really, really tasteless. Yet another slap in the face to the cities artistic professionals. What an eye sore. I thought it was a joke at first.
I generally agree with you here, although I find that committees are not immune to selecting bad art on occasion.
There is another concern though. Bad public art, because it does not do what art can and should do, because bad public art steps down from art's rightful position along side philosophy, theology and science,lends credence to the view that art is of little real value. Bad public art works against Art.
Keep up the good work.
Public art when done well helps us to see the rest of the space where it is installed differently. It is wonderful that Milwaukee is finally beginning to add more art to our spaces and streets. It is a remarkable opportunity and a huge prize for a metropolitan area commissioning public art. All the more reason why it must be good, and why the more we all take part in the process of choosing, the healthier it will be for art as a whole. A piece will be more likely to succeed if its purpose and function is questioned at the start and the public is truly allowed to be a part of the process.
I agree with Mary Louise…I think it would be in Milwaukee's best interest to employ a public art administrator. People are starting to notice Milwaukee more and we should all embrace being responsible for making our city more beautiful and culturally interesting.
Crap like this is going to continue to befoul our city unless someone steps up and insists that the art community has a say in determining the quality of art displayed in our public spaces.
This city has been blessed with great philanthopists with impressive resumes for supporting the arts and the city in general. If there was ever a need for philanthropic intervention it is in the appointment of a public art administrator. If all the great philanthropists pitched in they could easily fund an endowment to perpetually employ the taste police we desperately need.
I am talking to you Cudahy, Zilber, Quadracci, Abele, Buffett, Pettit, Bradley and anyone else whose worth reaches an 8 digit dollar sum.
Last week I had a woman in my Gallery who was visiting from San Francisco. She was here learning how to use GE equipment they had purchased for their hospital. Her friends told her they felt sorry for her...having to go to Milwaukee. They told her the only good thing to do in Milwaukee was to drink beer....Unfortunately while we have so many wonderful things happening here...including some great micro breweries, we are still known as this extremely "sleepy city" who is so far behind other cities our size culturally. Hello!!!!????
The visitor was delighted by the way to discover that the Third Ward, the Village of Wauwatosa, etc. had some really fun wonderful things to see.
Hopefully she will go back and tell her friends we have more than beer...but really when are we going to wake up?
Art is subjective...and we shouldn't be fighting over this sort of thing. What a waste of energy.
But how wonderful is it when pieces invite conversation, discussion. We will never all agree on things...but while we may have the kitschy art to amuse...PLEASE...some art to inspire or to have introspective thoughts. That is not arrogant or snobbery. That is just good taste.
I'll readily agree that the proposed sculpture is pretty silly (It immediately brings to mind the kind of huge sculptures I've seen installed in countries currently or formerly run by dicators: (Former USSR, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, China, etc.) I also readily acknowledge that this city could use some more inspired art.
With that said, I feel like I need to take a moment to defend the Fonzie statue. I take a bit of an issue with your comparison of this to the "bronze fonz", and the fonzie statue put in a list of bad public art. The fonzie statue has nothing to do with art and I don't think it has ever pretended to be. It is about having a little fun (and it's important to note, a little fun that's being funded privately.)
The problem here is that this statue is meant to be a serious memorial, uses public funds, and looks ridiculous.
Art, viewed by many eyes, can be interpreted in so many ways. How could we even consider proposing that one individual in the city be empowered to become a "dictator" of all artwork in Milwaukee?
Art is a unique medium in which so much diversity can be interpreted through the same element. While one person may view the wrath of a "Greek God" reaching down from the skies, while others will view that same "helping hand" as sense of a community.
I urge all Milwaukeeans to educate themselves about the story of the Lady Elgin before making a visual decision. The bottom line is that Milwaukee and the Irish Community suffered a great loss on September 8, 1860—there is nothing over-sentimental about that. I feel that this rendering simplistically tells the story—the brisk waves on a stormy night, people fighting for their lives, others reaching out to save lives and the sense of a community embracing the loss of so many lives. I can't wait to see it in it's true form as a sculpture.
Again, the true beauty of art….is that we all view it differently and we are each encouraged to have many interpretations.

text: After uploading the tutorial on Puff Puff Humbert, it was suggested that I make another lesson on a member from the band Your Favorite Martian. He wears a blue suit and has blonde hair that is brushed to the side in a long side bang manner. Here is "how to draw Benetar", step by step. Benetar is the Guitarist and Keytar player. I don't know too much about his personality because I really don't follow the series on Youtube. I do know that he is one of the major band members and drawing Benetar is going to be easier than you think. I guess that does it for me at least for today. I will return tonight with another livestream session so make sure you are here at 8pm eastern time. Thanks guys and enjoy!

It's their job to comment and be prophetic when needed. Clearly they think more highly of themselves than they ought to.
It is a travesty, and the conference should have made allowances for the disqualification of OS and Penn. Its ludicrous and the year will always have a HUGE asterisk on the season. This legends and leaders crud is for the squirrels and they will have to restructure how the eventual conference champion is decided.Hide replies
There's no asterisk on the Cardinals world championship team. They didn't win their division. Neither did the 2010 Packers.
Those leagues have bonifide playoff systems and wild cards can make it to a championship. The equivalent scenario would not even have Bucky in the playoffs since there are too many teams ahead of them.
I didn't see any one crying in the NFL when Seattle made the playoffs with a losing record. Get over it. It's only an issue because UW won. Everyone knew going in what the deal was and UW won the games it had to
let's see, time2vent......
2 division champions play for 1 conference championship.
winner accepts the rose bowl invite.
seems to be a pretty simple formula.
1) do you believe the perfectly tangible division format that seems to work in the rest of the civilized sporting world does not work in the B1G? would it work better if they had 4 3-team divisions that are perpetually restructured each season?
2) do you believe the names "leaders" and "legends" are the problem? should they change the names to "east' and "west"? would that make everything better?
outside of these two options, there don't seem to be many other alternatives.
I know it is a LONG way out.... but this Rose Bowl is setting up nicely for the downtrodden Badgers!
If teams didn't cheat and coverup crimes you wouldn't have this deal.
Ignore the records, I like the UW-Stanford matchup. Its two similar style teams.
Also, wtf, UW is a descent sized name. Its not like the B1G is sending Indiana or Purdue to the Rose Bowl.
As for Georgia, its well known the BCS only takes 2 per conference, and any team in the Top 3 or 4 gets in automatically. Hence the Bama-UGA loser pretty much new they were screwed.
As for NIU, good for them. I'm sure the Orange Bowl might be ticked, but good for the MAC. I like seeing parity and a fresh blood in some big games. Otherwise you might as well rename all the BCS Bowls the All-SEC Bowls. I for one can't wait to watch NIU. I'd love it if NIU won toom that would throw all the pundits into a hissy fit.
BTW; it's not the first time a mediocre team made a BCS Bowl. In 2005 Florida State made it to the Orange Bowl by winning the ACC with an 8-4 record (5-3 in conference). The ended the year at 8-5 after the bowl loss to PSU.Hide replies
For the 1964 Rose Bowl, a 6-4 Washington team was the west coast representative to the game.
A 'pay for play' scandal had broken up the Pacific Coast Conference a couple years before, and they were a year or two away from re-forming as the PAC 8.
On a percentage basis, Wisconsin has a better record.
Washington lost 17-7 to Illinois.
You don't like Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl?
Simple solution: don't watch.
Wisconsin was kept out of a BCS bowl several years ago by the same rule that is keeping Georgia out this year. The critics who pine for the old days, might consider in the "old days" Wisconsin's record would be 8-2-3. In fact, Wisconsin's trailed at the end of regulation by a total of 6 points all season.
The rules are what they are. The Giants won the championship with a 9-7 regular season record last year. The Cardinals won the World Series in 2011 despite finishing 6 games behind the Brewers. Welcome to the 21st Century.
Wisconsin won when the had to. That's all that counts.
Talk is cheap! Are these same talking heads and writers that say Wisconsin shouldn't be in the Rose Bowl the same people who picked Nebraska to beat Wisconsin because Wisconsin couldn't beat a good team? Are they the same "experts" who after the game voted Nebraska ahead of Wisconsin in the polls?
Stewie Mandel and Patty Forde. If you glued them together you might be able to make an interesting piece of furniture, right?
There are a whole lot of whining crying Nebraska fans here in Sioux Falls. I say take your beating, lick your sorry _ss wounds, and go back to wearing pink like a good 'husker fan should. We have played you three times and whupped you twice. You got lucky on your home field but that is about it. Go luck in the Rose Bowl, Badgers. And go with the true Big Red!
Clearly, the fact there has never been a team with a worse record speaks to the mediocrity of the selection. The badgers are in trouble and Stanford will be ready.Hide replies
1963 Washington team went to the '64 Rose Bowl with a 6-4 record.
6-4 --> .600
8-5 --> .615
What bowl game would Bucky be attending if OS did not cheat and PennSt did not scandal...? The poop bowl.
OSU did indeed cheat, and PSU did indeed 'scandal', and Wisconsin is indeed going to the Rose Bowl.
(I guess that had WI lost, they'd be in either the Outback or Gator Bowl. But they didn't.)

Township tourism – what's in a name?
Leon Jamarie
With a passion for travel, tourism and social media, Cape Town is the quintessential backdrop for Media Developer Leon Jamarie and his cape adventures.
With the City as his canvass Leon paints the town red covering a range of events and activities in the peninsular while staying true to the traditional culture the mother city offers it's children,
Originally from Durban, Leon is still an accidental tourist in the city he now calls home and as such is on the line between resident and local tourist able to provide inside knowledge and flavour to the average mundane travel blog.
He is always on the look out for that hidden gem or typical CT party. If it's fun, relevant, he will cover it.
Browse any tourism website and you will find that the same words are widely used: sustainable, projects, reality, authentic, real lives, genuine, crafts, meeting the locals, engagement, helping communities etc. We were intrigued, and wondered what this said about the rest of the destination – that it is fake?
People have been visiting impoverished areas of cities since the late 18th century, when "gentlemen of means" travelled the distances from one suburb to another to see how the locals lived. They wrote in their journals about the living conditions, the smell and of children left to fend for themselves while adults worked in nearby factories, farms or docks.
What is not recorded, however, is what the locals thought of these visitors poking about in their homes and neighbourhoods.
This is the way of the world today, and tourists pay good money to experience favela tourism in Rio, slum tourism in Delhi, hutong trips in Beijing and township tourism in South Africa.
People visit townships for a variety of reasons. For us, it was to reacquaint ourselves with what Cape Town has to offer the visitor. In our roles as UK and US representatives for Cape Town Tourism, we were invited to explore the "Unexpected Cape Town", and experiencing the townships formed a key part of this brief.
We had a full itinerary through which to work our way and were already overwhelmed with new experiences. On our first evening in Cape Town, accompanied by Micael from CoffeeBeans Routes, we headed to dine with Sheila and listen to Cape Town jazz at her home in Gugulethu. This was all about access and experiencing new things – surely this is exactly what travel is all about?
The second stop on our jazz safari was to a music club with the unfortunate name of 021 Swingers, so we were apprehensive about what lay in store – but it was only more jazz. We knew we weren't among many locals, considering the number of locals compared with that of tourists and the fact that the band leader opened the set by welcoming visitors from Germany, American and England.
The flavours and fabric of Cape Town were slowly being revealed. Beneath the smart exterior of a busy, cosmopolitan city we discovered the many layers that have gone into the making a modern city and its people.
Our next stop on the unexpected was a walking tour with Deon, our guide on the Sex and Slaves in the City. A number of buildings used by the slaves and their masters can still be visited, including the Slave Lodge, St Stephens, Slave Church Museum and Slave school. Perhaps too much to see in only two hours, as it certainly left us wanting more.
It was time to return to the cobbled Bo-Kaap streets as we had an important lesson: cooking a Cape Malay curry. We left there with recipes and spices to recreate the masterpiece at home.
It's a pity we weren't able to visit the fascinating District Six Museum, established in 1994, which highlights the memories, experiences and history of those involved in the forced removals between 1966 and 1980 when 60 000 local residents were removed to an area now known as the Cape Flats. It would have given greater context and depth than listening to information from the backseat of a tourist bus.
The Guga S'Thebe Arts and Cultural Centre in Langa is carefully decorated with ceramic murals and within we found artists creating ceramics, water colours and textiles. We visited Sandile Mdekazi's mosaic studio, and watched him work on new pieces to be sold in the cultural centre and, he hoped, further afield.
We drove around mostly, while Deon [Gurling], our photographer, hopped in and out of the bus to take photographs. And we watched as women prepared offal for the cooking pots at the roadside. We didn't get out as they were working and it felt too intrusive – besides they didn't need us getting in the way. Local involvement was minimal.
By now we were getting hungry, and it was time to visit a restaurant that has appeared in the media around the world – Mzoli's. This is an experience that is at the coal-face – nothing extra is added for you just because you are a tourist. This is township life and it represents a local place to eat, with the locals, and to pretend for a moment you are a local.
Mzoli Ngcawuzele is the co-founder of the Go Glam in Gugulethu wine festival – an event that aims to bring together wine famers, retailers, celebrities and festival attendees. This could potentially be rich pickings for the wine producers and retailers, but what of the locals?
Township tourism in South Africa is surely a sector with huge growth potential but somehow seems hindered by a lack of innovation, transparency and wider local Cape Town involvement. This blog is not intended to offer solutions, but to share our professional experience, and to perhaps start a debate amongst those businesses involved in this sector.

At the U.S. Open, Watch Out for the Iron Men
The U.S. Open is going small this week. The diminutive dimensions at Merion Golf Club will put a premium on accuracy. Since Merion measures less than 7,000 yards, the perception is that the compact course will favor short hitters. But that isn't necessarily the case. Precise long-iron play for shots between 200-250 yards will be the key to victory, giving some of the more powerful players in the field an edge.
The U.S. Open setup includes seven par-4s of under 415 yards, including the 350-yard opening hole. With punishing rough lining the narrow fairways, players will be well served to play conservatively off the tee. Meanwhile, three of the course's par-4s will play over 480 yards, and possibly the par-5 second hole at about 550 yards, many approach shots into these greens will be from the 200-250 yard range. And with all but one of Merion's par-3s set up over 200 yards, long approaches on these holes are guaranteed.
Nicolas Colsaerts is among the longest hitters in the game, and best on the PGA Tour from this key 200-250 yard distance when on the fairway. Tiger Woods, who has won majors in the past with the type of patient play that this Open will necessitate, ranks No. 2. Others in the eclectic top 10 of long-iron specialists include Kevin Streelman, Justin Rose, Charl Schwartzel and Boo Weekley.

I am reading "Supercollision cooling in undoped graphene." There the authors write: ``Above $T_{BG}$ (the Bloch-Gruneisen temperature), only a fraction of acoustic phonons with wave vector $q\le 2k_{F}$ can scatter off electrons."
I assume the condition $q\le 2k_{F}$ for electron-phonon scattering is a basic result, but I couldn't find it proved anywhere. Could anyone point me in the right direction, or state the proof here? Thanks.

I'd like to create a new subsection command with the same calling structure like the original one, but I have no idea on how to handle the case when the optional argument is omitted. Basically I want to have
newsubsection[Short Title]{Long Title} to call
subsection[#1]{#2} and
newsubsection{Title} to call
I've read the thread about a similar problem posted here around two years ago, but it seems to have been much more complicated (more than one
opt-argument) and I'm too much of a TeX-newbie to transfer the solutions to my problem.
Also, I already tried lots of weird combinations like
\newcommand{\subsect}[2][#1]{\par\nolinenumbers\subsection[#1]{#2}\linenumbers} (failed attempt to use the syntax from the
\wbalTwo-example here), but none of them were resulting in anything remotely working.

Thank you Seattle. This acquisition is complete.
This webpage reflects the earlier Pro Parks acquisition in 2003 and Parks current work with the Port of Seattle and King County on a new project.
At a public meeting on March 3, 2011 the Port of Seattle and Seattle Parks and Recreation lead a discussion about their properties in Smith Cove. The King County Wastewater Treatment Division also presented their proposal to construct an underground CSO holding tank in the area to protect water quality in Puget Sound.
The community advocated for the Port's property �West Yard� to become Park land and that the CSO facility be accommodated therein. With community and political support, Parks and King County negotiated this result.
In March 2013, an agreement was reached between the City, King County and the Port of Seattle to acquire the �West Yard� property for the Magnolia Combined Sewer Overflow project and as an addition to Smith Cove Park.
The cost to the City is all to be covered by funding that is or will be available to Parks and Recreation. The total acquisition cost is $5,216,000. Funded from the following:
While this acquisition has been driven by King County�s need to site the Magnolia CSO facility, and they have been a helpful partner in these negotiations with the Port, what the City and the public will gain, is a long desired 5+ acre waterfront park on Elliott Bay. It can be viewed as the terminus of what will be a great new public amenity at the completion of the Central Waterfront project.

CRACKED INSIDER: Jesus is a Winner
It' the first philosophical question most children ask: if God is good, then why doesn't He stop all of the world' suffering?
Apparently, children aren't watching enough sports, because with every skyward finger-point and "I'd just like to thank Jesus" post-game interview, the answer becomes more and more clear: Jesus' No. 1 concern is the outcome of professional sporting events.
But with so many touchdowns to score and homeruns to hit, can Jesus keep His eye on that other, less interesting ball known as the rest of the world?
Jesus Wins the Super Bowl
You don't have to look very hard to see that there might be cause for alarm. At the end of the first January of the new millenium, 30 days after pulling a Gatsby at his 2000th birthday part, a plane carrying 169 passengers crashed into the ocean in Kenya, killing all but seven, and leaving countless mourners to ask, "Where are you, God?"
Apparently, those mourners didn't have cable. If they did, they would have known that on January 30, 2000, He was in the Georgia Dome winning Super Bowl XXXIV for Kurt Warner. As Warner explained, "the Lord placed me in this position for a particular destiny-this place, this time, for a special thing. And we've got"� guys here that the Lord has assembled and we just give the praise and glory to God." But Warner-who the Lord seems to have forgotten about lately-isn't the only Ram that Jesus was busy helping.
Jesus Touches Isaac Bruce' Crotch
One week before, on June 23rd, 2000, wide receiver Isaac Bruce, one of Warner' favorite targets that season, experienced the divine hand of the Lord-in the general vicinity of his genitals. Bruce told Sports Illustrated that after injuring his groin in pre-game warm-ups, he got on the phone with his sister and prayed himself back to health.
A few hundred miles from where Jesus was playing Mr. Miyagi to Bruce' Daniel, nine-time Pro Bowler Derrick Thomas was on his way to the same game when his car spun out of control, killing him and his passenger. Luckily for the Rams, Thomas was retired, so the accident had no bearing on the game or its subsequent T-shirt deals. One can only imagine Jesus' relief upon learning that it was a retired player-not one of Bruce' blockers-who wouldn't be making it to the game that day.
An Alarming Trend
It would be hard to fault the Lord if these were just isolated incidents. It was the Super Bowl, and according to Bruce and Warner, Jesus is a huge Rams fan. However, as the below chart demonstrates, Jesus is a fan of lots of different sports-and his calendar is only getting fuller.

11th Annual NHRA Hot Rod ReunionWritten by Gerry Burger on December 15, 2013 Rods and Racing
The NHRA Hot Rod Reunions are way up on our list of personal favorites, and for those of us back East that means Bowling Green, Kentucky. In Bowling Green three great things come together to make it a special weekend: A vintage venue with covered stadium seating, you sit very close to the action on both sides of the track, and the mix of great vintage drag racers supported by a couple thousand real hot rods parked in the huge show and shine area.
This year SoffSeal sponsored the show 'n' shine and the show had some of the highest quality cars we've ever seen at the reunion. The Hot Rod Reunion was also the kick-off point for the AMSOIL/STREET RODDER Road Tour and a designated premier event for the STREET RODDER Top 100, so as you can see there are plenty of reasons to attend the NHRA Hot Rod Reunion.
Making things even better, we finally had a picture-perfect weekend and the racing was non-stop, with everything from wheel standers to Top Fuel cars to jet cars in attendance. Of course being an East Coast event, there was a gaggle of geezers and their Gassers making passes down the vintage track, too.
Friday night is reserved for the free-to-everyone Hall of Fame induction ceremony held at the headquarter hotel. This year's 2013 honorees were Alan Bockla, Lynwood Dupuy, Melvin Heath, Jon Lundberg, and Tom Prock, while the 2013 Grand Marshall was none other than Preston Davis, driver of the famed Top Fuel dragsters "The Tennessee Bo-Weevil".
Beyond the thousands of show 'n' shine cars, the over 400 nostalgia drag cars, and a huge Cackle-fest, the big news this year was perfect weather. With highs in the 80s, the event finally shook its nickname of Boiling Green and the racing stayed on schedule throughout the weekend.
Like all great events this one went by too quickly and as the last traces of spent nitromethane wafted through the air it was time to pack up the cameras and head for home. Normally we would have to wait 12 months to make it to another reunion but this year we only have to wait several weeks until September 12-14, 2013, when the inaugural New England NHRA Hot Rod Reunion will begin in Epping, New Hampshire. We'll see you there for some good northeast hot rodding.
STREET RODDER Magazine's Best Ford in a Ford
Presented by Ford Racing
Just the Facts
Year: 1936
Make: Ford
Model: Phaeton
Owner: Hank Langsenkamp
State: Florida
Just one week before the NHRA Hot Rod Reunion in Bowling Green, Editor Brennan and I were lamenting at the lack of Phaetons at rod events and wondered aloud, "Where have all the Phaetons gone?" (Yes, you can hum the Peter, Paul, and Mary melody now.) Less than a week later I'm standing in the motel parking lot and in rolls Hank Langsenkamp in his gorgeous 1936 Ford Phaeton. One of just 5,555 built in 1936, this Phaeton made the trek up from Ft. Lauderdale to join the AMSOIL/STREET RODDER Road Tour headed to St. Paul, so you can see Langsenkamp is a driver, to the tune of over 48,000 miles on the old tub since it was built in the mid 1990s.
So how does a car carry you that far without problems? Simple, you drop in 351 ci of Ford's finest, add a complete EFI system, and exit the spent gases through custom headers by Hiper-Fab's Steve Hill. A Ford AOD with TCI Automotive Pro Super overhaul kit passes the power back to a Ford 9-inch rear with 4.11:1 gears.
The driveline will get you there but the custom-fabricated Lexan side windows, AIR air conditioning, and Jeff Phipps–stitched Connolly leather over a 1962 Caddy seat will get you there in comfort.
The 1936 may look like a stocker at first glance but the top has been chopped 1-1/2 inches and all the wood in the car has been replaced with steel. DuPont Dark Forest Green covers the flawless panels and Langsenkamp changes up the personality of the Phaeton by swapping wheels from stock-style 1936 Ford to set of Halibrands. Langsenkamp obviously has a love of old Phaetons as he also had a Deuce Phaeton street rod for many years.

We're certain these two guys run together. On the window sticker under "category" the Jones' yellow coupe simply said "cool", while Rick Marvin went one better to enter 'cooler" on the same line. Two very cool Indiana hot rods.Flat black, red rims, and wide whites is a time-tested look that never fails to please. Greg Shady brought his black 1940 from Ft. Wayne, IN, and it's pure hot rod.There is something to be said for simplicity, particularly on a shoebox Ford. We offer Jeff Hoffmaster's Aliquippa, PA–based 1950 Ford as graphic proof. Pick the proper shade, do some mild de-chroming, and you're on the way to a perfect mild custom.In the "Why don't we see more of these?" department we offer Butch Sample's 1957 Plymouth Savoy. This proves not all the good-looking cars were wearing Bow Ties in 1957.The lettering on the front crossmember says: "It's all about the show", and Mike Bilina never fails to put on a great show. The green 1956 starts with a great burnout and then pulls the wheels every time it leaves.Red accents under the hood make a nice connection to the red interior on Herb Jenkins' clean and simple 1948 Ford coupe.As yes, Funny Cars, go-go boots, and pretty young ladies, welcome to drag racing in the 1960s. Well, the Hot Rod Reunion is as close as you can get to time travel and this pretty young lass truly brought us back, along with Bruce Larson in his tribute Camaro.The "Hemi Under Glass" is going into full retirement along with the only person to ever pilot the world's most famous wheel stander. If you look closely you can see Bob Riggle peeking through the Lexan panel in the floor.
The modern version of the AA/FA may be more stable to drive but it still brings the crowd to their feet with wild burnouts and quick times.Top Fuel went to Jim Murphy in a fantastic final drag race against Denver Schutz. Murphy held on against a hard-charging Schutz with a 5.802/233.08 over Schutz with a 5.815 at 250.60 mph.The cars came in and left under the same blue skies, and while it may be almost a year away we are already looking forward to the 12th Annual NHRA Hot Rod Reunion in Bowling GreenThere is a bubbletop boom going on in street rodding and when it comes to those sleek hardtops the Pontiac Ventura ranks up there with the best of them. Allen McDaniel drove his 1961 in from Tupelo, MS.The 1954 Chevrolet was the last rendition of the new-for-1949 body style and like most early 1950s cars they are perfect material for a mild custom. Add some extra teeth, convert the hood to one piece, and add plenty of pinstriping over an appropriate custom color, and it worked well for Russ and Kathy Rosenberger.David Kriger made the trek to Bowling Green in his 1949 Ford club coupe all the way from Hopewell Township, PA. A detailed Flathead with three Strombergs power the early Ford.We're not sure if this coupe is a real sleeper or just an understated hot rod with great use of color, but either way it sure is a neat Gasser. Under those calm colors you'll find a frantic 4-71 blown 377ci small-block Chevy.Ron Hickman's Deuce coupe sports some of the best scallops we've seen in a while. A drilled axle, Moon tank, and lots of louvers make this two-tone three-window a winner.

This is an important report of a newer type of short-acting narcotic designed to treat episodes of breakthrough pain. The main advantage, as pointed out by the authors, is that OFTC has a rapid onset, hence relieving cancer patients' breakthrough pain quicker. This study indicates that OFTC is useful in this regard, as compared to placebo controls. This advantage started at the 15 minute self-report by the patients, which would indicate a more rapid, efficacious onset. This relief also lasted the entire 60 minutes that the patients were required to self-report. There was also little toxicity involved in the use of OFTC. Although the OFTCs were more efficacious, there was an obvious placebo effect, as noted by the fact that patients used rescue medication in only 34% of the episodes.
What is perhaps most impressive about the study is the amount of breakthrough pain episodes that the patients reported. There were hundreds of episodes in these 93 patients, indicating that pain management is of utmost importance in cancer patients. Hopefully OFTC can play a role in the treatment of breakthrough pain. Although it was efficacious when compared to placebo in this study, the true test of its usefulness would lie in a randomized study comparing it to other medications designed to treat breakthrough pain. This is exemplified by the fact that, out of the original 130 patients that started in the open label portion of the study, only 74 patients chose to continue OFTC as their primary treatment of breakthrough pain. Obviously, pain management must be individualized, but OFTC's rapid onset and safe toxicity profile should at least be considered in patients for the treatment of breakthrough pain

"A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves." —Lao Tzu
Back in the 1980s when leg warmers ruled, the fitness revolution had just begun. At the tender age of 19 I started teaching high impact aerobic classes, in the day when no training or certifications was required. If you looked cute in a bright unitard and could work a tape deck, you could take the helm of a class.
Back then, the sign of a 'good' instructor was the highest number of people you were able to 'drop' out of your classes during the hour. The more people walked out because it was too hard, the better you were (because you were fit!).
I am so embarrassed now, reflecting back on those days. What were we thinking?
I have learned a lot over the years, and since my return to teaching group exercise classes nine years ago I have learned that being a good instructor is easy, but being a great instructor is much harder.
There are many ways you can go from good to great, and while you may not always be 'the best instructor they ever had,' you can be the best that you can be…and make a difference.
As a great instructor:
- You are a leader, coach, and cheerleader.
- You read the people in your classes, and adjust your rides according to the mood and energy of the group.
- You balance giving students a good solid, ride while not boring them to death.
- You constantly educate yourself and your class participants, arming them with new tools for success each and every time they walk out of the room.
- You strive to be the 'best hour of their day' no matter how you are personally feeling. They showed up to your class…they deserve your focus, attention and passion.
- You set the bar in terms of work effort, but you also let your students see your human side ("Did you eat too much candy this weekend? Me too!" "Whoa, that was hard ,but we did it!").
- You empower them to feel successful, rewarding their efforts with genuine compliments and reminding them that they don't have to be perfect all the time. Trying is good enough.
- You help them feel OK with the fact that sometimes it's perfectly fine to go a little easier in class. As long as they show up, they are a success in your book.
- You care about your students, their lives and their goals.
Most of us are in this business for one reason: We want to help make a difference, and we are passionate about what we do. While there are a few instructors in it for, as Lady Gaga would say, "the applause," those instructors are flashes in the pan—here one day, gone the next, onward to the next round of applause somewhere else.
Unlike days past, I now aim to keep people in my classes, not drop them in the first 20 minutes. I want someone to leave a class feeling confident and strong, not feeling that they "could never do" what I am doing on the bike. I am their coach, their guide, and their cheerleader, but not their ruler.
Ultimately, I want class participants to know that they succeeded on their own.
"We did it ourselves." Yes indeed. You did.

Update from Chairman Peetz - August 1, 2012
The past month has been an unusually challenging one for all of us. What we have learned requires a renewed sense of unity and resilience as we move forward. But this past month has also brought an opportunity to rededicate ourselves to our university, its academics, and its athletics. This can and must be a new chapter for Penn State.
July witnessed the release of the Freeh report, and the scope of this investigation was expansive. No one at Penn State was exempt from this review. As we have previously stated, Judge Freeh's report concluded that certain people at the University who were in a position to protect children or confront the predator failed to do so. The investigation was intended to identify where failures occurred and what changes should be made for the future. It is with this spirit that we will thoroughly assess the report and its recommendations to develop a roadmap of changes to implement as we move forward.
Following on the heels of the Freeh report, the NCAA imposed harsh sanctions on the University. The Board finds the punitive sanctions difficult and the process with the NCAA unfortunate. However, the alternatives were much worse, including a potential four-year death penalty, and we support President Erickson's decision to accept the Consent Decree. The University and the Board will comply with the NCAA's sanctions. We commit to transparently communicating about our compliance with those sanctions, and to continuing our efforts to build academic and athletic programs at the highest standards of excellence.
I must also say that, like all Penn Staters, we on the Board have been heartened by the character and commitment demonstrated by our student athletes and our coaches in recent days. I will be in the stands on September 1st at Beaver Stadium, and I hope many of you will be as well.
Penn State faces the future with unflinching optimism. Our students are some of the country's finest, and they are coming to Penn State in record numbers this fall. Members of our faculty are responsible for some of the most exciting breakthroughs in science and medicine – and in a huge range of other fields, too. Our alumni are creating innovative businesses and non-profits that make a real difference in people's lives. And our entire community is engaged in helping us move forward. We are reaching out to constituencies across the Penn State nation to communicate with you directly. We are appreciative of the messages you've sent with your thoughts and suggestions – please know that I am personally reading all of them, and we are in the process of responding to each of you.
We have much to be proud of, and much to be hopeful about. One of our alumni, Troy Cromwell, may have put it best: Penn State is "still a great institution, it's still a great university, and it's our job to make it better."
The nation has watched our University as the events of the last 9 months unfolded. Now is the time to watch us succeed.
Karen B. Peetz '77
Chairman, Penn State Board of Trustees
