Peter52p A great place to stay staff very helpful and accommodating. I was only booked in for 2 nights as my third night they where fully booked but they found a bed for me for the last night. Located in a great place very close to centre with bars and restaurants very close. Would not hesitate to book there again. The only negative was they do not have private rooms but I knew that when I booked.

1st off, I did this free hand with the Nikon D300. I wasn't planning on doing this, so I left the tripod at home. This also meant that everybody moved, so just about everyone got ghosted.

[caption id="attachment_4106" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Born into a US Navy family, Scott Ransom served in both the US Coast Guard 1978-1988 and US Army National Guard 1988-2003. He finished the Ironman Wisconsin in 10 hours and 39 minutes. (Photo courtesy of Ransom family)"][/caption]
You just won your age group at Ironman Wisconsin…describe what that feels like. I actually got to learn about it "gradually." When I first crossed the finish line and met up with my family, the official results had me in 2nd place in my Age Group. I was still pretty happy with that and thought it would likely get me to Kona. Later that evening one of the results websites was showing me in 1st place. I went to bed not knowing. Next morning it was official…there had been a mixup and yes, I was 1st. But it's obviously quite satisfying. Still, I know very well that anyone who finishes that race worked incredibly hard and deserves enormous credit. Probably the best part of the day was going back to the race course and watching and cheering the other finishers. They are so happy, and the crowd so enthusiastic. It really makes you appreciate the human spirit.
This qualifies you for the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii correct? Will you be making the trip next month? I'm going to Kona, but not until 2011. Oct 8th 2011. Ironman Wisconsin is the first race that qualifies for Kona the following year. It would be too much to go race an ironman again in less than a month. Two weeks before Wisconsin, there was Ironman Canada and Ironman Louisville. Those folks qualify for the 2010 Kona…about 6 weeks after. I can't even imagine going again that soon.
How did you get started competing in triathlons? I was a swimmer as a kid. As a young adult, I started running…did a few marathons. That's really tough on the legs. So I later switched to triathlons to "spread the pain around better."
Why did you choose to raise money for the USO and support our troops? Respect for the troops! I was in the Army National Guard, though I retired without ever being sent anywhere. But I know Guardsmen that were activated and deployed. I can only imagine the danger, isolation, inconvenience, and homesickness they have. I believe the USO is a great service to them in giving them a piece of home and making sure they know their service is appreciated.
What advice would you give people who want to do something to support the troops? Do something! Supporting the USO is a great way. Also, help out the family of a deployed servicemember. Asking "if there's anything I can do…" is not enough. Stop by with a meal. Tell them you are going to cut their grass on Saturday. Tell them you'll watch the kids some evening. You get the idea.
What's next for Scott Ransom… more triathlons…another challenge? After some down time, I'll start training again for Kona. I'll stick with triathlons for a while.
Ransom is a 2010 Ironman Wisconsin Age Group Winner and has qualified for the Ironman World Championships in Kona, HI, in 2011. Join TeamUSO on Facebook for the latest info and updates!

From Our Editors
Named after the cowboy term for the corral of working horses required for long cattle drives, Remuda Golf Course pays homage to the region's roots with an 18-hole course framed by the rugged peaks of the Rocky Mountains. Each hole bears the name of a particular breed of horse, letting golfers brush up on their equestrian trivia without having to pack a Lone Ranger boxset in their golf bag. In addition to its Western flair, the 6,352-yard, par 72 course is distinct in that its most difficult hole is a par-three, the 217-yard sixth hole. Guarded by sandtraps on the left and a soft front that will keep short tee shots from bounding onto the putting surface, the hole will require many players to reach for a 3-wood to reach the green in regulation. Before tackling the course's challenging terrain, golfers can warm up at the practice green and a driving range with covered hitting bays.
Course at a Glance:
- 18-hole, par 72 course
- Length of 6,352 yards from the tips
- Four tee options
- Scorecard

Thomas, email Matt (http://photomatt.net/) on this .
Hi Matt,
Anonymous told me to e-mail you so everything's cool..:-)
but maybe I should. Just a bit of fear that there's a big bug in my thoughts. I would like some more feedback before ringing at Mr. programmer's door.
Reading this thread got me thinking... isn't the additional
/archives/ essentially cruft in itself? I know I'm probably opening a can of worms on this one.
If a front page is http://yourdomain.com then http://yourdomain.com/year/month/ and http://yourdomain.com/category/ should imply archive pages. It just seems like the additional
/archives/ directory doesn't do much besides lengthen the URIs. For me, this makes even more sense as my "static" pages like About and Photos aren't really static pages but actually archive pages using custom templates.
There's one but: if you want to have a page with an overview of your archives, most logically this would be http://www.domain.com/archives/. Then a page within this archive would logically be something like http://www.domain.com/archives/2004/05/ that is, if you see your site as a tree structure.
Where I do see your point: categories. Normally categories are part of your navigation so you don't need a page like http://www.domain.com/categories/ to list all your categories because they are alreadly listed on, let's say, every page. Therefore, http://www.domain.com/categoryname/ seems much cleaner than http://www.domain.com/categories/categoryname/
In the end it's a personal thing I guess.
run a site with mt and then you'll find out the necessity of the archives directory.
Since .htaccess and mod-rewrite don't work on an IIS server, I'd like to know if there's any other avenue to modify the permalinks structure on IIS ?

Essay - The Advantages and Disadvantages to the Voucher System Voucher System...
The advantages and dis***** to the Voucher System
Voucher System voucher system is an alternative method of funding education. Instead of tax revenue being distributed to state-run schools, parents are issued directly with vouchers, which c***** be spent on education in any school, privately or publicly run. Schools *****refore compete for pupils and the funds that come with them.
***** of the Voucher *****
One advantage of a voucher plan is increasing the range of options for the consumer, namely students and p*****nts. Dissatisfied consumers are free ***** shop around for better goods. A school that satisfies personal desires for their children's education may be a priv*****te institution, one ***** the family ***** not be able to af*****d *****out voucher.
**********her advantage acknowledged profusely by advocate, is the increased opportunity provided to lower achievers. Lower achievers in under-funded urban ***** have ***** opportunity ***** attend schools with the means to provide better quality education with ***** financial assistant of vouchers.
The major ***** of a voucher system is that it removes the differentiation between state ***** non-government schools, and does not penalize parents for ***** choices they make. Low-income parents would be allowed greater control and choice than ***** presently the case.
Disadvantages of the Voucher System
***** disadvantage of *****s is that ***** takes funds away from the ***** that need them most. Schools operating in rich areas will ask more ***** the basic voucher price, while schools operating in the most difficult circumstances, dealing with socially excluded groups ***** be restricted ***** ***** basic voucher amount. Funds should be targeted to schools that ***** them, not ***** who are already succeeding.
A*****her disadvantage is that ***** cannot be a market. Supply cannot adjust fast enough to changing demand so some ***** will always end up stuck in dying, ***** schools because over-subscribed schools ***** expand ***** enough.
The major drawback ***** a voucher system is that by ***** non-government schools on the same basis as state schools, it *****s *****m vulner***** ***** the same level of government regulation. The success and popular*****y of non-government schools is arguably due to their ***** autonomy and indep*****ence.

WASHINGTON - President Bush appointed former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger to lead an investigation into why the government failed to foil the Sept. 11 attacks, telling the veteran diplomat to "follow all the facts wherever they lead."
Signing a bill he once opposed, Bush told survivors and victims' family members on Wednesday, "We must uncover every detail and learn every lesson" from the terrorist strikes. The bill creates a 10-member independent panel for an 18-month inquiry into the attacks on Washington and New York that killed more than 3,000.
Debate about the commission has been marked by differences between the White House, Democrats and victims' relatives over how far the probe should go and whether Bush himself should testify.
Kissinger's appointment gives the commission instant respectability, and puts a White House ally in charge of an inquiry that has the potential to embarrass Bush.
Kissinger, 79, echoed the president in pledging to "go where the facts lead us." He said he would accept no restrictions.
Later, Democratic congressional leaders named former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell to be vice chairman of the panel. After leaving the Senate in 1995, Mitchell led the negotiations that produced the landmark Good Friday peace pact of 1998 for Northern Ireland.
The commission will build upon the work of congressional investigators who reported this year that clues to the hijackers' plot were ignored or misunderstood.
Lawmakers have criticized the CIA for not tracking two al-Qaida operatives it learned of in early 2000. Those operatives were two of the five hijackers on the plane that crashed into the Pentagon.
Congressional investigators also noted poor communication between the FBI and CIA on terrorism matters, and questioned the State Department on visa programs that allowed all 19 hijackers to enter the country unchallenged.
"This commission will help me and future presidents to understand the methods of America's enemies and the nature of the threats we face," Bush said at a ceremony across the hall from the Oval Office.
The commission has a broad mandate to examine issues such as aviation security and border problems, along with intelligence.

Mojave Desert Lizard
Here is the Mojave Lizard. There scientific name is the Mojave fringe toed lizard. They live in the Mojave Dsert in the Southwest part of the United States.They are insectivorous,which means it eats insects.There prey include ants,beetles,grasshoppers,cockroaches,spiders and caterpillars.They also eat Flower buds,stems,leaves and seeds of plants.Mojave Desert Lizards spend most of their time in burrows located under the sand, for protection from,predators,temperature extreams and solar radiationThey can grow from between 4 and 12 inches.There relationship between species is symbiotic.Since there are many resourses in the Mojave desert the Mojave Lizard does not need to compete with other species very much.Little information is known about details of reproduction,but the temperature in which the Lizard raised has effects on the lizards.Unlike us humans,Mojave Desert Lizards do not require water but they do drink on a rare occasion.This species of lizards are more heat tolerant than any other reptile in North America.These species are active during the day. They search for food and resources. During the night they sleep n their burrows under the sand.
The map on the right is where the Mojave Desert is located.It is home to the Mojave Desert Lizard and countless other animals.The Mojave Desert region is spread out into four states,Arizona, California,Nevada and Utah.
In order for the lizards to reproduce or mate ,there are a few conditions that apply.If there is alot of rainfall during the winter season the lizards will reproduce. They usually reproduce then. This is because the baby lizards need food.If there is no water there prey such as insects and seeds of plants they cannot live. When the female lizard gets pregnant she usually produces 2 to 3 eggs. Then she hides the eggs in the sand.when grown up the babies stay with the family in a pack.
Population Expansion
This species,the Mojave Desert Lizard could fill the niche left by the Desert Tortoise. The mojave lizard eats plant seeds and insects just like the tortoise. They also live in the same area,the Mojave Desert located in the Southwest part of the U.S. This way the food web or chain would be unaffected by any changes if the desert tortoise would disappear. The amount of lizards would over populate with an average of 25 lizards per square mile and from 5-60 tortoises per square mile. From the population of both species,it would not take long for the lizard to take over the niche left behind of the tortoise.

I put a single IP address into the ban list and the app kept redirecting me to the ban page. Since my IP was being "banned" without being on the list, I assume every visitor to the site was also being redirected to the ban page. I wasn't even able to get into the admin page to disable the plugin. Fortunately, the site is part of a multisite installation, so I was able to use my network administration access to edit the plugin source code and force it to allow all IPs long enough for me to disable and remove the plugin.
At the very least, the plugin should not ban logged-in administrators under any circumstances.

A Russellville, Mo. man has been charged with a Class B felony possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, Class D felony of possession of drug paraphernalia and Class D felony of resisting arrest following a confrontation with an officer on Monday night.
Eldon Police Officer Michael Atkinson was conducting an investigation with 21-year-old Christopher P. Whittle at about 8:27 p.m. Monday, April 14, stemming from pending charges by the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
Upon making contact, Atkinson located what was believed to be 43 grams of meth in the suspect's possession along with suspected drug paraphernalia. As the officer was making the arrest, the subject fled on foot. After a brief chase of about four blocks, the suspect was recaptured and transported to the EPD.
Atkinson was assisted in the foot chase by off-duty MSHP Trooper Neil Atkinson and Eldon Police Chief Rodney Fair.
Because of the large amount of meth involved, the EPD said in their initial press release that they are seeking federal charges against the suspect.
Whittle is currently being held on a $200,000.00 bond.

Description: The first person the audience sees in Ship of Fools is dwarf Michael Dunn, who speaks to viewers directly and acts as a Greek chorus throughout the film. It begins on the deck of an ocean liner travelling from Vera Cruz to Bremerhaven. The time is the 1930s, so close and yet so far from war. The cross-section of humanity on board includes ship's doctor Oscar Werner, Spanish political activist Simone Signoret, aging coquette Vivien Leigh, hedonistic baseball player Lee Marvin, philosophical Jew Heinz Ruhmann, a smattering of pro- and anti-Hitlerites (Jose Ferrer plays the nastiest and most vocal pro) and young lovers George Segal and Elizabeth Ashley. Yes, it's Grand Hotel at sea, a feast for stargazers and an endurance test for those who aren't comfortable with non-stop speechmaking. Despite such lines as What can the Nazis do? Kill all six million of us?, Ship of Fools manages to stay afloat throughout its 148 minutes. Michael Dunn was nominated for an Academy Award for his interlocutory characterization; the rest of the performances range from brilliant to merely filling up the room. Other Oscars were presented to cinematographer Ernest Lazslo and to the art-direction staff. Ship of Fools was adapted by Abby Mann from the novel by Katharine Ann Porter.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

It is clear that even though information technology (I/T) has evolved from its traditional orientation of administrative support toward a more strategic role within an organization, there is still a glaring lack of fundamental frameworks within which to understand the potential of I/T for tomorrow's organizations. In this paper, we develop a model for conceptualizing and directing the emerging area of strategic management of information technology. This model, termed the Strategic Alignment Model, defined in terms of four fundamental domains of strategic choice: business strategy, information technology strategy, organizational infrastructure and processes, and information technology infrastructure and processes—each with its own underlying dimensions. We illustrate the power of this model in terms of two fundamental characteristics of strategic management: strategic fit (the interrelationships between external and internal components) and functional integration (integration between business and functional domains). More specifically, we derive four perspectives of alignment with specific implications for guiding management practice in this important area.

White House Touts New Funding for Manufacturing
WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration on Friday announced that it would offer $2.3 billion in clean-energy manufacturing tax credits to 183 companies, seeking to renew its emphasis on domestic economic issues after two weeks spent focused on terrorism.
The biggest winners were companies tied to the solar industry, including Hemlock Semiconductor Corp. and Wacker Polysilicon North America LLC. Brand-name companies that were big awardees included United Technologies Corp. UTX -0.68 % , which plans to retool existing plants to produce a more fuel-efficient jet engine.
The announcement begins a renewed administration drive on economic issues and follows a report that the U.S. unemployment rate stayed at 10% in December as the economy lost 85,000 jobs. Unemployment remains one of the Democrats' thorniest challenges as they look ahead to November congressional elections.
The attempted bombing of a U.S.-bound jet on Christmas Day has for the past two weeks riveted the administration on a review of flaws in the nation's intelligence apparatus, a summary of which was released Thursday.
Mr. Obama has placed heavy emphasis on incentives for Americans to make energy-efficient improvements to their homes, and investments in renewable energy projects as ways to generate "green jobs." But the administration has faced skepticism from important constituencies such as unions, which fear that U.S. policies will create demand for overseas goods. The manufacturing tax credits are designed to counter those fears, to ensure that U.S. manufacturing capacity can meet U.S. demand.
Mr. Obama expressed support for a package of clean-energy job initiatives late last year, and in late fall announced $3.4 billion in investments from the $787 billion economic stimulus package for more efficient "smart grid" electricity distribution projects. In mid-December Vice President Joe Biden announced the administration's support for up to $5 billion in additional funding for a stimulus-related clean-energy manufacturing program.
When Congress returns from its holiday recess in a week it is expected to continue work on an overhaul of the nation's healthcare system, a rework of U.S. financial system regulation and a jobs-creation bill, in that order, congressional leadership aides say. The jobs bill likely will include investments and incentives backed by Obama to spur clean-energy manufacturing jobs.

Liquidators of failed Queenstown boutique insurer Western
Pacific Insurance have yet to collect almost $1 million in
premiums from brokers and individual policyholders.
Western Pacific was placed in liquidation in April last year,
total claims at the time by policyholders and creditors
amounting to up to $65 million, but only about $34 million
was available in funds from global reinsurers.
Liquidators Grant Thornton have just released their latest
six-monthly report, to the end of October, which shows $48.3
million is owed to Canterbury earthquake claimants.
After the Canterbury earthquakes in September 2010 and
February 2011, Grant Thornton is looking to recover more than
$34 million from 24 reinsurers around the world, which will
allow payments to be made to Canterbury claimants.
Grant Thornton said "significant unremitted premiums" were
held by brokers, and the balance of debts still to be
collected stood at almost $942,000.
"Recovery action is ongoing in respect of the balance of
outstanding debtors, which includes using debt collection
agencies and taking actions as per broker agreements," the
liquidators said.
The liquidators are working with the Canterbury Earthquake
Recovery Authority and the Earthquake Commission, having
obtained access to their respective records.
Aside from the Canterbury claimants, the other estimated
unsecured claims total $18.34 million, including other
insurance claims of $16.4 million and trade creditors' claims
of $1.1 million.
Grant Thornton said it was not yet possible to determine if
any dividend would be available to pay the ordinary unsecured
creditors but "it appears unlikely".
Similarly, for preferential creditors, such as staff who were
owed almost $118,000 and the IRD which was owed $87,559, it
was unknown yet "what distribution, if any" would be
available for them until the recovery of outstanding debts,
Grant Thornton said.
Western Pacific collapsed because of $6 million in estimated
claims from earthquake policyholders ($1.95 million) and
unsecured creditors ($3.88 million), but it was later
revealed it had 7000 policies worldwide and total liabilities
of up to $10 billion.
Western Pacific's directors were Queenstown-based Graham
Smolenski and his brother-in-law, Jeff McNally, of Victoria
in Australia.
Grant Thornton noted the liquidation was "unlikely" to be
completed in the next six months.

Carmine's La Trattoria really wants its chefs and waiters to understand what Italian hospitality means, so much so that it periodically sends its employees to Italy to experience it firsthand. They come back to its two locations, ready to whip up a menu of Italian favorites and to delight customers with tales of steering a gondola with a cannoli.
At the Miami location, patrons can choose to eat on the outdoor terrace right on the water, savoring brick-oven pizzas and veal osso buco under strings of miniature light bulbs just a few feet from the water's glowing fountain. Palm Beach patrons settle in under hoops suspended from the dining-room ceiling, each rimmed with tiny lights and hovering like enormous halos. On warm days, they may instead seek the shade of the patio's gardenside awning.

Red_Ant....thank you for your fine posting ,comparing Patterson and Parker, a few differences are (1)Patterson is 100 percent domestic, and (2) Patterson has nooffshore rigs and barges.Parker is a truly global landdrilling company. Granted the domestic decline in drillingwas more sever than the overseas decline, so PTENshould rebound faster than PKD, all other factors beingequal....LOL

I've set up a Debian LAMP stack using this tutorial. Now I want to switch over to Hyper-V, but the networking won't work. Here's what I've done:
- I've added a Virtual Switch using my external LAN network card in Hyper-V.
- I've added a Legacy Network Adapter to the Debian VM and set it up to use the correct Virtual Switch.
This results in seeing an eth2 connection that's unconnected and won't connect when trying. The goal is obviously an eth1 that's bound to my host's network. How can I achieve this?

Abstract"A program is proposed to demonstrate the feasibility of an integrated composite missile airframe structure applicable to defensive interceptors. Integrated composite structures offer significant design features for reducing costs of missile airframecomponents. In addition, an integrated composite structure simplifies the fabrication and will improve performance and reliability. Traditional missile airframe structures are comprised of a metallic substructure and a secondary bonded thermal protectionsystem. Developments in composite weaving technology coupled with the availability of high temperature polymer matrices, which can be processed using traditional fabrication methods, offer the ability to eliminate the long established multilayer missileairframe structure design. The bondline between the thermal protection material and the substrate has traditionally been the weak link in that temperatures are limited to the ability of the adhesive. Lightweight, high strength, composite material wouldreplace the traditional metallic substrate using a high temperature matrix which is common to the composite. The key feature to an integrated composite structure is the ability of the matrix to perform as a structural material that has the ability totransfer load; an insulator which can prevent thermal transfer, and provide ablative characteristics for aerothermal heating. The direct benefit of this technology will be the ability to produce

About academic integrity
Complete integrity is the hallmark of the global academic community.
A shared commitment to the highest standards of academic integrity is held across all disciplines and all kinds of higher education institutions.As a necessary condition of our membership in the academic community, we agree to identify the source of the ideas or words or images that we borrow. We agree not to cheat on exams. We agree to accurately and fully describe the methods and results of our research. We agree to protect the rights of the participants in our studies. We agree to deal honestly with the content of our courses and fairly with the students in our care.
Because integrity is essential to our community, we hold very high expectations for every graduate student at UNL, each of whom is required to be aware of and adhere to the student code of conduct. The publication of the Student Code of Conduct is considered sufficient "forewarning." Ignorance of our expectations is never a valid excuse. If you are uncertain about whether a planned action is ethical, stop and seek the advice of a trusted faculty member before you act.
Professors at UNL expect every student to be completely honest on every academic requirement. There is no small act of dishonesty for graduate students, and it is never a victimless act. The victims of academic dishonesty include professors, classmates and the university itself. Most of all, the dishonest student loses, selling her or his integrity at an embarrassingly low price and missing out on an opportunity to advance through real effort and accomplishment.
The punishment for graduate students who engage in any kind of academic dishonesty is harsh – suspension or expulsion are the most common sanctions for graduate students who choose to violate the code of conduct. The official transcript of an expelled student is appended with a permanent statement that notes the student was dismissed for violation of the student code.
As members of our academic community, graduate students should be aware and willing to abide by our standards, including both academic and personal conduct. UNL holds academic integrity to be sacrosanct. There is never a circumstance or situation that justifies an act of academic dishonesty.
Academic Integrity Week
The fourth annual Academic Integrity Week is scheduled for September 21-25, 2015. This event promotes conducting research, writing, and teaching with integrity and honesty.
Academic Integrity Week is co-sponsored by the Senior Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, the Office of Graduate Studies, the Office of Research and Economic Development, the Center for the Teaching and Study of Applied Ethics, the First-Year Experience & Transition Programs and the UNL Graduate Student Association.

Are the concepts of plagiarism, citation styles, and copyright making you nervous about writing academic papers? In this workshop for international students, we will discuss American citation expectations and discuss how to manage the cultural differences regarding academic work. This workshop will contain 4 half-hour mini-sessions: the basics of academic integrity, when to cite, how to cite properly, and why academic honesty matters. Students may stay for several or all sections.
Understanding plagiarism
The honest creation of new knowledge, discovery of new facts, new ways of looking at the known world and original analysis of old ideas are basic academic values. However, the simple repetition of the words and thoughts of someone else does not lead to the level of understanding an educated person is expected to have (Standler, 2000). Those who accurately acknowledge the work of others earn both the satisfaction of generating new knowledge through honest effort and the respect and esteem of their professors, colleagues and professional peers.
As students and scholars, we are constantly engaging with other people's ideas: we read them in texts, hear them in lecture, discuss them in class and encounter them on the web. Appropriately, we are influenced by the ideas of others and incorporate them into our own thinking and writing. To facilitate the free exchange of ideas among scholars, we give credit to those from whom we borrow words, images or ideas.
In simplest terms, writers must distinguish their own words from the words of others by placing the words of others within quotation marks, with appropriate citations to the sources of quoted text. Neglecting to do so is plagiarism: stealing the words, images or ideas of others without clearly acknowledging the source of that information.
The prohibition of plagiarism is not unique to educational institutions. If the expression of an idea is recorded in any way or fixed in some medium — such as a piece of writing, drawing, photograph, painting, or web page — it is considered intellectual property and is protected by U.S. Copyright Law. To plagiarize is to steal the property of someone else, a blatant infringement of the law (Turnitin Research Resources, 2005).
Plagiarism in any form, however minor, is a violation of the UNL Student Code of Conduct, section B.1.1c, which defines plagiarism as: "Presenting the work of another as one's own (i.e., without proper acknowledgment of the source) and submitting examinations, theses, reports, speeches, drawings, laboratory notes or other academic work in whole or in part as one's own when such work has been prepared by another person or copied from another person." Graduate students are held to a "zero tolerance" standard for all aspects of the Student Code of Conduct, including plagiarism. The most common sanction for graduate students who engage in plagiarism is suspension or expulsion.
The following sections explain what plagiarism is and offer strategies to help you give proper credit when you use the words and ideas of others.
If you have questions about the proper way to cite someone else's words or ideas in your own writing, ask your instructor or contact an adviser in the Writing Assistance Center, 115 Andrews Hall, 402-472-8803.
When to give credit
To avoid plagiarizing, give credit every time you:
- use or refer to another person's idea, opinion or theory from a "magazine, book, newspaper, song, TV program, movie, web page, computer program, letter, advertisement, or any other medium" (OWL, 2003)
- cite or state any facts or statistics that are not common knowledge
- quote another person's exact spoken or written words, either taken from the media listed above or heard first hand through conversation, interview or email (and these words must be placed within quotation marks)
- reprint (or use as a basis for graphics you create) any graphics, illustrations or pictures from any of the media listed earlier
- paraphrase another person's spoken or written words
Terms to know
- Common knowledge
Facts that can be found in many places and are likely to be known by many people.
Example: John F. Kennedy was elected president of the United States in 1960.
This is generally known information — you do not need to document this fact. However, you must document facts that are not generally known, as well as ideas that interpret facts.
Example: According to the American Family Leave Coalition's new book, Family Issues and Congress, President Bush's relationship with Congress has hindered family leave legislation (6).
The idea that Bush's "relationship with congress has hindered family leave legislation" is not a fact, but an interpretation; therefore, you need to cite your source.
- Quotation
A verbatim repetition of someone's words. When you quote, place the passage in quotation marks and document the source according to a standard documentation style.
Example: According to Peter S. Pritchard in USA Today, "Public schools need reform but they're irreplaceable in teaching all the nation's young" (14).
- Paraphrase
- Using someone else's ideas but putting them in your own words. This is the skill you will use most often when incorporating source material into your own writing. Although you use your own words to paraphrase, you still must acknowledge the source of the information.
Examples of proper use of others' words and ideas
To illustrate an example of plagiarism, as well as proper ways to use the words and ideas of someone else, we present a short original passage, followed by examples of a plagiarized paraphrase and an acceptable paraphrase.
Original text
Dengue virus infections in humans can be subclinical or can cause illnesses ranging from a mild, flulike syndrome with rash and some hemorrhagic manifestations (dengue fever [DF]) to a severe and sometimes fatal disease, with coagulopathy, capillary leakage, and hypovolemic shock (dengue hemorrhagic fever [DHF]).
This is the original text from page 1 of "Dengue Fever in Humanized NOD/SCID Mice" by D.A. Bente, et al. in the Journal of Virology, November 2005.
Unacceptable paraphrase
Dengue virus infections in humans can range in intensity from subclinical manifestations, to a mild flulike illness with a rash and some hemorrhaging (dengue fever [DF]) to a severe and sometimes fatal disease with blood clotting defects, leaking capillaries, and hypovolemic shock (dengue hemorrhagic fever [DHF]).

Acceptable paraphrase
Dengue virus infections affect humans in a variety of ways. In some, the disease doesn't show up at all; others may have a rash and some minor bleeding, while still others may experience severe bleeding, shock, and even death (Bente et al., 2005).

Acceptable paraphrase with quotation
In humans, dengue virus infections can range from mild to severe, from a flu-like syndrome "to a severe and sometimes fatal disease, with coagulopathy, capillary leakage, and hypovolemic shock" (Bente, et al., 2005, p.1).

Choosing the path to academic integrity
Myths and misconceptions can make plagiarism seem to be the "easy way out", but it's never the right choice.

I have been waiting since last year for this to come back out, its a perfect swim bottom, the stores never have it in my size (26). I have bought others and nothing compares, the length is perfect for swimming. I bought 2 :)
I just got this skirt today and I like it alot. They fit a little tight, but that's a good thing because I don't have to keep pulling them up as I walk. This skirt is a little on the short side, it stopped a little above my knees. But I'm happy with it and hope they come out with more colors.
Tried on the regular xxl in the store and it was ridiculously tight and short. Naturally, no plus sizes available in the store. Ordered the 3x online and it fits great. I absolutely love it! It's actually a little larger than I thought it would be but I'd rather too baggy than too tight!
I purchased this to wear with my swim tank, since most swim skirt are so short and dont cover my thighs like I want. This is long enough to cover, lightweight and dries fast, the built in shorts are really thin, but offer full coverage. I'm an 18/20 in pants and got the 3x for fear it would be too tight, def not the case, it fits, but I have to use the drawstring to ensure a snug enough fit, I'm reordering a 2x in a diff color, and will keep both pairs. Also comfy and cute as everyday or workout wear.
I purchased this skirt to wear over my leggings and running Capri's. The fit is just right and the length is perfect. I have purchased one in every color.
I loved the fit and the length but the shorts were loose and the fabric was hot and polyester. Terrible fabric for hot weather activities/

Prices slipped again in this week's GlobalDairyTrade auction,
as strong late-season New Zealand milk production continued
to make its mark.
The index was down 2.6%, with a 4.9% fall in butter prices,
4.4% drop in skim milk powder and a more modest 1.6% decline
in whole milk powder prices.
Prices might dip further this season before recovering in the
second half of the year, ASB rural economist Nathan Penny
The index was down 19% since December and, at the same stage
in 2012, it was down a similar 21%, Mr Penny said.
While it was late in the season, the recent falls were enough
to ''take the cherry off the top'' of this season's milk
price, he said.
ASB had trimmed its farm gate milk price forecast to $8.50kg
ms. However, the extra production should largely offset the
lower milk price.
Looking ahead, the bank was maintaining its 2014-15 season
forecast at $7.80, although it was keeping it under review.
A lower milk price was a ''distinct possibility'',
particularly if the New Zealand dollar stayed stronger for
longer than the bank had factored in, Mr Penny said.
Meanwhile, lamb prices continued to improve, averaging 18%
higher than the same period in 2013.
He expected lamb prices to continue to rise over the
remainder of the year, due to improving international demand
and tight local and Australian supply.
However, prices remained below the five-year average for this
time of year and the lingering effect of drought was still
slowing production.
Wool prices were ''going nowhere fast'' and it would be
another season before sheep sector incomes returned to
pre-drought levels, he said.
After strong rises over 2013, wool prices had given back some
of their gains in 2014. March average prices for coarse wool
(35 micron) were 4% lower than the average for December last
year. Prices remained 7% above year-ago levels, a recent ASB
report said.
Demand from developed economies remained key to wool markets
and wool prices.
Overall demand was tentatively improving. The housing market
in the United States was better but recent weather
disruptions had slowed the improvement.
Demand for US apparel was also better and, while European
demand was ''showing signs of life'', it remained fragile.

Arkansas Guardsmen Honored for Service in Afghanistan ~ Freedom Salute recognizes 1039th Route Clearance CompanyJONESBORO, Ark. – Approximately 95 Soldiers with the Harrisburg based 1039th Route Clearance Company of the 875th Engineer Battalion, 87th Troop Command, were honored along with their families at a Freedom Salute ceremony at the Valley View Fine Arts Center in Jonesboro on Sunday.Maj. Gen. William D. Wofford, the adjutant general of Arkansas, was the featured speaker during the event.During their deployment, soldiers of the 1039th spent nine months clearing routes of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in Afghanistan and training the Afghan National Army to take over that mission.The Freedom Salute is a nationwide campaign recognizing National Guard members who served in Operations Noble Eagle, Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. Each first-time deployed soldier received an encased American flag among other items presented during the ceremony. Second time deplorers received a ring and a beautiful clock. For more than three deployments, soldiers received certificates."In addition to the sacrifices our soldiers have made in performing their mission, the families sacrifice also," said Wofford, "If it wasn't for the support our soldiers get from their families, friends and employers back home, they wouldn't have been able to perform as well as they did."According to Capt. Seth Jacobs, the 1039th Company Commander, the members of the 1039th successfully overcame all challenges that came their way during this mobilization. "We could not have done it," said Jacobs, "without the great support from the community and the family support group. Whenever we needed something, the community was there for us."During their nine months in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, the unit conducted over 200 missions, cleared over 30 improvised explosive devices and traveled over 20,000 kilometers of roadway scanning the path for potential danger. Additionally the unit trained an Afghan National Army company on route clearance techniques, preparing the Afghans to take over the mission going forward."I want you all to know that you did a fantastic job," continued Wofford. "I'm proud of you, and the state of Arkansas is proud of you for your dedication and service."The Arkansas soldiers initially departed the state on June 30, 2012 en route to Fort Bliss, Texas, where they trained for the deployment. The unit returned to the U.S. May 3, 2013 and returned to Arkansas May 15. A series of re-integration events over three months helped the soldiers ease back into their normal lives.

Hi Frederick
W3TC is awesome, been using it for a while and really love it. So thanks. Got a question about using CDNs.
From a CDN point of view, I've got images outside of WordPress that I want to replace with a CDN-compatible URL, using the CDN settings that are stored in W3TC. Since they're outside of WP, W3TC doesn't see them. But I specifically want to use the settings in W3TC to make life easier for the client.
From a technical point of view (I'm a WP developer), what's the best way to override the URL to use the CDN settings in your plugin?
1. apply_filters()
2. Or something else?

Photo Galleries - Graduations
Wilby High School graduate, Krystal Santiago smiles before commencement exercises Tuesday night in Waterbury. Getting the diploma was a challenge for the recent grad. Santiago said she has been in a residential home in Hartford for three months through an order of the Waterbury Courts. Santiago said that she would come back and forth to pick up school work so that she can graduate on time. To avoid distractions, Santiago said she would sit in a hallway at the home with a wireless keyboard typing up reports, without even looking at a screen. Then she would later check the reports. Santiago said she had a lot of staff at the school, as well at the home, who had supported her. Santiago said one of the staff named "Diane" was always there for her 100%. Santiago said she would drive her back and forth from Hartford to Wilby. "I couldn't let her down. That one person, who would do anything for me, and I couldn't let her down. That is what kept me going." She said a lot of people looked down on her and doubted she was not going to finish the program. Through persistence and determination, Santiago received her diploma. Santiago said she is attending Western Connecticut State University to become a meteorologist. Christopher Massa Republican-American

THREATS AND RESPONSES; Effort to Cut Off Qaeda Funds Hits Snags
Published: December 17, 2002
UNITED NATIONS, Dec. 16— The United Nations group formed to stop the flow of funds to Al Qaeda has concluded that serious problems in international efforts to track the terrorist network's finances have left it ''still able to receive money,'' according to a report circulated here today.
In the report Michael Chandler, who heads the monitoring group, says a continuing lack of intelligence-sharing and cooperation between governments means that Qaeda operatives can still move across borders and get financial support.
Al Qaeda is still receiving money through front groups disguised as charities, the report finds; it adds that the group has begun to rely more heavily on ''local funding sources'' to avoid sending money through banks and other more strictly regulated institutions.
''A great many Al Qaeda operatives remain unidentified, or, if identified, have not been communicated sufficiently to other jurisdictions,'' the report finds. It also says several key nations have been reluctant to provide names of Qaeda suspects for inclusion on a United Nations list drawn up by Mr. Chandler's group. The United Nations list of terrorist suspects now has 104 names.
The unwillingness of some nations to provide names has ''degraded the value of the United Nations list,'' the report says.
The Bush administration has been critical of Mr. Chandler's work in the past, and has not been eager to help build the United Nations list.

Australian banks in shape to handle worse than the GFC
- From: The Australian
- June 10, 2010
- Local regulators conduct stress test on banks
- None would fail or breach capital requirements
- Test was far worse than financial crisis
A STRESS test of Australian banks has revealed they would survive an economic downturn much worse than the global financial crisis.
Undertaken by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority in conjunction with the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, the test was based on a severe, three-year economic downturn in Australia worse than that of the early 1990s, The Australian reported.
It assumed a sharp, 3 per cent shrinkage in growth followed by a V-shaped recovery, a rise in unemployment to 11 per cent, and a peak-to-trough fall of 25 per cent in house prices and 45 per cent fall in commercial property prices.
World growth was assumed to be weak and China was assumed to have shrunk the same as other countries, resulting in a big drop in commodity prices and the Australian dollar.
APRA chair John Laker said the test showed that none of the banks examined under the scenario -- the 20 largest in Australia -- would have failed or breached the 4 per cent minimum tier-one capital requirement.
"APRA's recent stress test has provided important evidence that the Australian banking system has the capital resources to weather an economic contraction much worse than that expected during the depth of the global financial crisis," he said at an Australian Business Economists lunch in Sydney yesterday.
A stress test is an evaluation of an institution's financial position under a severe but plausible scenario, and is used to help manage risk.
Regulators have increased their focus on the practice after the crisis revealed many global banks were not doing a thorough enough job when carrying out the tests.
This is the third industry-wide stress test of the banking sector that APRA has undertaken. Mr Laker said top-down stress testing was becoming increasingly embedded in APRA's supervisory activities.
"As recent events in Europe remind us, supervisors also need to refresh stress scenarios, since the direction of threats to the viability of individual authorised deposit-taking institutions, and to the stability of the banking system as a whole, is ever changing," he said.

LOL... idiots. 25% barely reverses the increases of last year! Expect a 40-50% balance restoration over the next 2 years. Good luck handling that one.
Dave Lister of Starbug Posted at 2:00 PM June 10, 2010
I hope they can because worse than the GFC is coming.

They have quality financial aid, I didn't apply soon enough so missed out on the good scholarships.
Just fill out the FAFSA, and the financial aid office will do the rest!
Dakota Wesleyan Is great about giving scholarships to kids who have earned them. They strive to makes their students excellent and they want every kid here to have an equal chance at that.
