Wakatipu High School's e-learning system - touted as the
future of education - has received an $11,747 boost from
Shotover Jet and the Wakatipu community.
The donation, arising from Shotover Jet's most successful
Locals Day and Sunday's Shotover Jet Christmas Spectacular,
has meant the school's ''E-xcellerate'' programme will
Company general manager Clark Scott presented the cheque to
WHS principal Steve Hall on Sunday afternoon.
Mr Hall said he was extremely grateful for the donation,
which would enable a critical next step in education.
''This is the crucial seed money we need to get the
e-learning scheme E-xcellerate up and running.
''Now, we not only have the broadband width needed and the
software research completed, but we have the much-needed
funds to get the programme started and gain momentum.''
E-xcellerate is a high-speed e-learning system, and the
school will initiate a pilot scheme for the first two terms
of 2013. Mr Hall said the system required a great deal of
learning, upskilling teachers and pupils.
''This is an important path in education, now and in the
''Wakatipu High is extremely fortunate to have the funds to
kick-start this programme.
''It will be of tremendous benefit to all our students,
inspiring and accelerating learning across all subject
Mr Scott said Shotover Jet was proud to support community
programmes such as E-xcellerate.
''Wakatipu High School is a cornerstone of our community and
we're extremely proud that Shotover Jet is in a position to
support education programmes such as this.
''It might seem a cliché, but these students will be at the
helm here in less than 10 years.''

Donald Sloan scored 23 points and Bryan Davis had a key three-point play at the 1:01 mark, enabling No. 23 Texas A&M to stave off upset-minded Nebraska 70-64 in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 tournament on Thursday.
Nebraska, trailing all game while trying to become the first No.
12 seed in Big 12 history to win two tournament games, cut the lead
to 62-58 with 1:35 left on Sek Henry's 3-pointer.
Davis then managed to get behind the Nebraska defense for a
layup, was fouled by Jorge Brian Diaz and make the free throw to
make it 65-58.
In Friday's semifinals, the Aggies (23-8) get a rematch with No.
1 Kansas, which beat them last month 59-54.
The Huskers (15-18), who lost all but two of their 16
regular-season conference games but beat No. 5 seed Missouri in the
first round, will sit out the NCAA tournament for the 12th straight

I have following text in a file
When I tried to replace the above text using command
I am getting
89. Shouldn't it be
6789? Can anyone tell me why it is
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Group 3 is defined as being 2 digits long. If you want to match the last 4 digits you want
As written, your regex captures one digit, then three digits, then any number of groups of two digits each. The third match will, therefore, always be two digits if it exists. In your particular test case, the '89' is in \4, not \3.
Changing the regex to
will give you '6789' as the result, since it will capture two or more digits (up to as many as are there) in the third group.
You want to use a non-capturing group here, like so
which gives
would change the line to
You'd probably want (need an extra wrapping group):
Although I'm not sure why you're capturing the first 2 groups.
I have tried this one in nvi and it does not work. In vim it works, only that you must correct the final inverted dash before the g, for a dash, like this:
and it gets replaced with 89. The reason is that you are saying with the * that the last \d\d can be repeated zero, one or more times, and with > you are saying end word boundary. With the group 3 you are saying that you want the las group, but because of the * the las two digits (\d\d) are 89. Taking out the *> you can get 6789. Like this:
Watch out for the > who is playing a tricky part because with this: :

My Best is Girlie Hell's new single and was recorded at Mr. Som Studio in Sao Paulo under the production of Marcello Pompeu and Heros Trench (Korzus). The mastering was made at West WestSide Music in USA by none other than Alan Douches (Mastodon, Cannibal Corpse, Deicide).
The video footage took place in Atibaia, Sao Paulo, under the production of Movie 3 and direction by Mess Santos, that have already worked with Girlie Hell on previous videos ("Winter" and "Gunpowder") and that also signed productions for artists like Kiko Loureiro (Megadeth/Angra), Richie Kotzen, Eminence, Project 46, etc.
To watch "My Best" video clip, go to: http://youtu.be/JA6DnFc3fGE
Among other news, Girlie Hell keeps celebrating the good repercussion of press and public to its most recent effort, the red vinyl compact "Hit And Run". On published reviews, "Hit And Run", that has only two songs, received statements as: "One of the best 'small' works released in 2014″ (Notícias do Dia Newspaper); "Hypnotizing" (Tenho Mais Discos Que Amigos); "Simply Awesome" (Rock On Stage); "Determination and innate talent" (Mondo Pop); "Unique and beautiful" (Heavy And Hell); "…I fell in love by their sound" (Ponto Zero).
At the moment Girlie Hell also works on its already announced first DVD, "Get Low – Girlie Hell Unplugged". As condemns the title, the work brings acoustic versions, with new arrangements, for songs of Girlie Hell's debut album, "Get Hard" from 2012, besides other surprises.
Recorded live in studio, the DVD is being produced by Natora Filmes with direction of the own drummer Carol Pasquali, and also counts with the special participations of Pedro Bernardi (DRY) and Junior Meomack (Faroeste). "Get Low – Girlie Hell Unplugged" will hit the stores in the second half of 2015.

Norwegian Runhild Gammelsaeter may be the single baddest woman in all of metal. At 17 as a foreign exchange student in America, she became the vocalist of doom metal demi-gods Thorr's Hammer along with Stephen O'Malley and Greg Anderson. O'Malley and Anderson later formed the now legendary drone/doom act Sunn O))). Not only did she do vocals for Thorr's Hammer, but she was also the force behind Khlyst, another superb underground doom metal act. She released her solo album, "Amplicon" in 2008 to rave reviews and continues to be a highly respected member of the scene but has been a bit quiet as of late. Oh, and did we mentioned that she's a professional scientist by day and holds a PhD in cell physiology? That's right: not only does she possess some of the most brutal vocals in metal but she's also a highly respected scientists in her field.
Myrkur is the solo project of Danish singer-songwriter/model Amalie Bruun. For a while no one even knew Myrkur's real name or much history behind the project. That was before the secret was slipped by a friend in an interview with her other band, NYC's Ex Cops. Bruun's Myrkur project is being released by Relapse records and her first full-length is set to be released this summer. The album by the brutal black metal songstress is being mastered by Krystoffer Rygg of the iconic Norwegian black metal band Ulver, and is one of our most anticipated releases of 2015, regardless of gender.
Anguished is the solo project of Ana Niemi, also known as Posseessed Demoness. The positively brutal black metal band has been covered well here at Metaladies, and they put out the well-received "Cold" EP in 2010. Based on frozen black metal soundscapes and hellish, screaming vocals, the name "Anguished" is a good fit for the project. What more would you expect to come out of Finland? The Scandinavian country is well known for its metal scene and produced such black metal luminaries as the brutal Beherit. Anguished is one of the harshest women working in the medium today, and we can't wait to hear more from the Scandinavian siren.
And there are plenty more women doing incredible stuff, but these have got to be our best bets for one-woman acts doing it today. It's time for the boys to move over because the time for metal matriarch is now. Who the heck is Burzum anyways?]]>
Former Guns N' Roses member Duff McKagan produced the band's 1999 debut record, and after the release in May of its first full album, "Are You Man Enough?" on the Los Angeles independent label Foodchain Records, the band had begun to perform nationally.
The Bronx, N.Y.-born band's leader Bianca Halstead, grew up in Los Angeles, and as a teenager gravitated to the Hollywood rock scene. Her first band was Sin, which included the guitarist Bitch. Both women also played in the group Butt Trumpet, and Halstead later worked with Humble Gods before forming Betty Blowtorch in 1998.
Amid its progress, the band still faced hurdles. Guitarist Needles and drummer Judy Molish abruptly quit the band in the middle of a tour, and replacements–a drummer from Atlanta and guitarist Jennifer Finch of the Los Angeles band L7–were quickly installed.
In 2001, Betty Blowtorch's six-week tour of U.S. rock clubs was supposed to conclude with a New Year's Eve show at the legendary Whisky on the Sunset Strip. Instead, it ended early Saturday on a New Orleans-area highway, where Halstead died in a shattered Corvette.
This fatal accident marked the end of the band.
A collection of rarities and live performances was released as Last Call in 2003. They are the focus of Antonia Scarpa's documentary film, Betty Blowtorch And Her Amazing True Life Adventures.
Blare N. Bitch and Sharon Needles are currently both members of the Los Angeles based band, Psychostar.

So it was kind of a natural thing when Annemarie started growling and grunting at the mic, keeping her vocal duties permanently even initially the trio was planning to add an singer. In 1995 they released their first demo, comprising four songs of thrash metal with a spark of hardcore.
It was followed by another on 1996, played it live in The Netherlands and Germany, before eventually splitting up.
Doesn't that seem incredibly awkward and unfulfilling? It ought to, because such games hardly exist anymore! Imagining a game without a music soundtrack emphasises just how much music has become integrated with the video game industry over the years, and how much the sounds enhance the gaming experience. And with this in mind, I wanted to delve into three specific ways in which music makes gaming better, sometimes in ways we don't even consciously realise.
In this category I'm referring to a whole new branch of gaming that began with the release of Guitar Hero by Activision back in 2005. As most everyone knows now, the game launched a pretty revolutionary new concept whereby players worked their way through classic and modern rock songs through a button system on a plastic guitar that vaguely mimicked some of the intricacies of genuine guitar playing. The game was a massive hit and ultimately spawned a string of sequels and imitators. Rock Band became the main competitor, incorporating additional instruments and even a microphone to the same gaming concept.
All these years later, the genre of games that exist entirely through their musical soundtracks is still evolving. Smule, a company whose slogan is "connecting the world through music," is leading the way in the ongoing innovation of these games, having developed apps like Guitar! and Magic Piano to touchscreen mobile devices, where they perform much like Guitar Hero, at least in theory.
Sometimes music's primary function in a video game environment is to keep a player interested in the game. Generally this is done through melodic loops that can help our minds ease into a state of repetition and help us to want to keep playing. The first example for me that comes to mind is actually from old Super Mario games. Remember when you would come across a star that made you temporarily invisible and an exciting, repetitive jingle would almost lock you automatically into a state of reckless desperation? It was mesmerising.
Today, the best example of the use of music to keep players engaged and interested is probably found in the Internet casino market. In this genre of gaming, incentives are frequently used first to interest players, and then to keep them attached to the games they're playing. Gala Bingo's platform excels in this regard, providing appealing beginner situations for new players, such as access to VIP gaming and various promotional bonuses. But once you're actually in the games, the advertised offerings disappear and the music takes over. Sometimes, it's a digital tune reminiscent of live casino sounds, but in many cases you'll also get recognisable theme music from a range of TV shows and films allowing their property to be used by the site. In either case, the music can have a strong effect on keeping you focused on the game at hand.
Sometimes there's nothing specific going on with a great game's music. The music isn't used as a key element in the game's functionality, and it's not meant to keep you playing any one game for an extended period of time. Sometimes, there just happens to be a great soundtrack attached to a game, and I'd argue that these are the cases in which music is crucial to a game's likability.
It's not that you'll generally dislike a game for having a bad soundtrack. But usually, the good ones stand out. Browse through Fact Magazine's impressive countdown of the top-100 video game soundtracks of all time, and I guarantee some will stand out and perhaps even cause you to hear some songs you thought you'd forgotten in your head. For me, Red Dead Redemption, Super Mario RPG, and GoldenEye 007 stand out, though I can't believe not a single game from the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater franchise made it.
It's pretty cool just how much music has to do with our enjoyment of video games. Again, it's not something most of us consciously recognise, but I'll bet if you keep it in mind next time you're playing a favourite game, you'll appreciate the composers behind the music more than ever.]]>

In the preparation and evaluation of Fischer–Tropsch (FT) catalysts, active catalysts formed by both incipient wetness impregnation (IWI) and atomic layer deposition (ALD) of major components were demonstrated. ALD-deposited Co on a silica support was more effective than a similar catalyst deposited upon a support of ALD-deposited Al2O3 on silica. The addition of Co reduction promoters including Pt, Ir and Ru using either ALD or IWI has been shown to strongly affect the catalyst pre-conditioning step. CO conversion results were consistent with previously reported Temperature Programmed Reduction X-ray Absorption Near-edge Structure/Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure Spectroscopy (TPR-XANES/EXAFS) experiments observing the nature of chemical transformations occurring during the activation of cobalt-based FT catalysts in hydrogen. Specifically, there exists a 2-step reduction process involving Co3O4 to CoO and CoO to Co0 transformations. The extent of catalyst preconditioning was strongly affected by the reduction temperature (with 400 °C preferred) and the loading of the promoter. This was demonstrated using a continuous-flow catalytic-bed unit with a 2:1 molar blend of H2:CO, at temperatures ranging from about 260 to 300 °C, pressures averaging 1.3 MPa (190 psia), and gas space velocities about 24 NL/h-g.

My indecisive self is back needing opinions. Now that Im not pregnant anymore (hooray!) I actually have energy to get these rooms done.
Okay, so remember the bright green shared kid's room we're working on?
The ceiling fan is going up right now. Here is the same fan in our room. Isnt it gorgeous? I love it, I love it, I love it.
The curtain fabric that will be plain old 2 panels in each window.
Okay, 1st question...
Would you do this curtain rod (the black one) which would be raised above the windows? If yes, would you leave it black or spray paint it nickel/ steel color (already bought the spray paint)?
Or would you do this wooden rod with spindles that would have to be hung on the window frame? I would spray paint them all white.
The wooden rods would look similar to this rooms:
Ok, this white Ikea shelf is going in their room. Along with Ikea's poang chair in birch.:
Would you paint DD's bed white? Or another color? The pictured solid turquoise comforter will be going on her new big girl bed.
DS will be sleeping in Ikea's Gulliver crib in white:
And just inherited my childhood mid-century looking dresser... Would you paint it white or another color? Dont worry, the rest of the drawers are sitting behind it.
I think thats all of my questions for now...

J Cole (1),D Ngog (56 pen, 90+1),Lucas (81)
C Tanase (13)
Europa League Group K 8:05pm Thursday 16th September Anfield (Att: 25605)
Last Updated: 16/09/10 9:55pm
NGOG! Ngog gets a brace with a lovely finish at the Kop end. He just loves this competition, that's his fifth in the Europa League.
Ecclestone is pulled back by Eder who receives a caution. There will be three minutes of added time.
Eccleston does well with his first involvement but Steaua eventually clear the cross from Konchesky.
Babel finds himself in loads of space but he dawdles, before whipping in a really good cross towards Ngog. Steaua deal with it but it's a corner.
Space opens up for the dangerous Stancu but his shot from distance is a tame one and Reina makes a comfortable save.
By the way, prediction of the night goes to Adam Esposito who went for a 2-1 Liverpool win with Cole and Ngog scoring! Spot on so far Adam. Your prize is, er, well there is no prize - but it was a cracking prediction!
Maxi's corner is whipped in and Kyrgiakos causes havoc once more, but this time Steaua clear their lines without conceding a penalty.
Babel does well down the left this time but again his delivery isn't the best. Yet another back-heel - this time from Konchesky - doesn't quite come off. Liverpool well on top now.
Babel and Konchesky combine down the Liverpool left but the former's cross is a poor one despite him having bags of time.
Meireles chips a ball to Maxi who in turn chests one off to Babel. The Dutch player smashes a volley goalwards but it's blocked.
Cole does really well to fend of the attentions of several Steaua defenders and he spots Maxi in space on the right. The Argentine's delivery is too close to Tatarusanu though.
Cole and Babel combine on the left to set up a chance for Spearing but his shot is a weak one in front of the Kop end.
The referee blows his whistle to signal the start of the break and it's 1-1 at half-time thanks to Cole's first minute opener and Tanase's equaliser. Join us soon for the second half.
Cole gives away a free-kick near the Steaua penalty area. Just the one minute of added time at the end of the first half.
Maxi is almost through but Octavian Abruden makes sure that doesn't happen. Yellow card for the defender.
Liverpool keep the ball at the back as they look to mount another attack. Eventually Konchesky is set free down the left but he fails to keep the ball in play.
Meireles feeds Babel with a slick pass but the Dutch winger can only pass it into the keeper's arms.
Babel loses the ball but then works hard to get it back. Maxi comes off the right flank to offer support and the pair link well together. After a throw-in Maxi tests Tatarusanu with a long-range effort.
Nice build-up play from Liverpool with Cole doing well inside the Steaua box. It eventually falls for Babel who forces Steaua keeper Ciprian Tatarusanu into a save.
Kelly intercepts the ball on the edge of his own box and punts a clearance into the opposition half.
Maxi does well down the Liverpool right but Kelly's cross is blocked when the Reds had numbers in the box.
Steaua counter-attack with verve but Spearing halts them this time. The away side are looking dangerous whenever Liverpool lose the ball.
Meireles blocks another cross from Nikolita. It's a very even game now after Liverpool bossed the opening 10 minutes.
Reina is forced into a point-blank save after more great work from Stancu but the linesman's spotted an offside. It was, but Steaua are very much growing in confidence.
Steaua are offering a threat now they have confidence and Kyrgiakos is forced to block another effort from Tanese.
Agger brings the ball out of defence for Liverpool as the home team look to assert themselves quickly following the equaliser.
TANESE! Cristian Tanese latches on to a decent through ball from Bogdan Stancu and prods the ball past Reina. Nice finish. 1-1.
Raul Meireles is keeping things ticking along nicely. He shows a tidy touch inside the centre circle as Liverpool retain possession.
Nice build up play from Liverpool involving Spearing and Cole. Maxi tries to poke a ball over the top but Steaua deal with it well.
Jay Spearing collects the ball 25 yards out and lets fly, but it's just too high and over the goal at the Anfield Road end. Good strike though.
Daniel Agger with the header from the corner, but it's blocked by Steaua defenders and the Romanians clear their lines.
COLE! After 28 seconds Joe Cole gets free and steers it into the bottom corner. Lovely finish. What a start!
And they're off. Steaua Bucharest, playing in bright yellow with dark blue shoulder trim, get us under way.
You'll Never Walk Alone is played over the Anfield tannoy as the two teams appear from the tunnel. They'll be kicking off shortly...
Jorge Garcia: "Good idea to rest the two front men. I would like to see if we can get Pacheco in there aswell. I believe after this season with Roy, Babel should not be whining like a lil girl about him not getting any playing time. He gets to start today with a good partner in Ngog, so show the KOP the magic that you produced in the U17 World Cups in Peru."
Adam Esposito: "Totally agree with resting Torres and Gerrard. We need to start to learn to play without them. I think we have a strong team and at home will push for the win. Not sure about Steaua's form at the moment but i think it should be 2-0 or 2-1. Ngog and Cole to score! YNWA!"
Now a Liverpool fan enters the fray. I give you Stuart Morgan: "I think a big win would be great tonight to raise confidence for Sunday, I would like to see some of the new signings gelling a bit tonight and show us what they can do! Torres and Gerrard rested is a good idea on the whole they are both needed for Sunday."
Curiously, the first email to drop in tonight is from a Manchester United fan. Stefan says: "No Torres or Gerrard - 2-1 Steaua. Looking forward to the match on Sunday. Neither team in good form should be good. From An Optimistic Red Devil."
So Liverpool fans, what do you reckon? Happy with no Torres or Gerrard tonight? I guess there is a pretty big game over at Old Trafford on Sunday to consider.
If you fancy a flutter on tonight's game be sure to check out the team news below. Ryan Babel appears to be lining up as a conventional centre forward so you may be tempted by the 4/1 Sky Bet offer about him to open the scoring. The Leeds-based firm also go 4/11 Liverpool, 7/2 the draw and 8/1 Steaua.
And here's Steaua Bucharest: Tatarusanu, Emeghara, Abrudan, Geraldo, Latovlevici, Radut, Angelov, Bicfalvi, Tanase, Stancu, Kapetanos. Subs: Lungu, Gardos, Nicolita, Gomes, Surdu, Eder, Apostol.
First up here's the Liverpool side: Reina, Kelly, Kyrgiakos, Agger, Konchesky, Spearing, Meireles, Maxi, Cole, Babel, Ngog. Subs: Jones, Johnson, Pacheco, Lucas, Carragher, Shelvey, Eccleston.
Good evening and welcome to our live clockwatch as Liverpool take on Steaua Bucharest at Anfield in the Europa League. Team news will follow shortly but I can reveal Roy Hodgson has made eight changes to his side with Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres not featuring. Get your emails in to email@example.com and I'll publish your best thoughts and predictions.

Donald Stabrowski, Dr. Peter Thacker
Absent: Dr. Rich Gritta, Dr. Larry Lewis
Invocation: The invocation was given by Sr. Angela Hoffman.
Minutes of April, 2004 meeting was accepted.
Standing Committee Reports
Executive Committee: Dr. Angela Hoffman gave the report. The committee discussed the Academic Senate Constitution and Bylaws that were accepted by the Senate last spring and found some inconsistencies and ambiguities. The committee concluded that the constitution and bylaws should be revisited one more time, and decided to propose an ad hoc committee be appointed to study these issues (see New Business item below).
Committee on Committees: Dr. Jeff Gauthier gave the report. The committee appointed people to the Senate committees and made their recommendations for the Presidential Advisory Committees to Fr. Beauchamp.
Committee on Rank & Tenure: Dr. Lou Masson gave the report. The committee is in the process of reviewing cases for tenure, promotion and tenure review.
Committee on Teaching & Scholarship: Dr. Carol Dempsey gave the report. She distributed a memo to the Senate members, which formally documented the committee's work with timelines. The purpose of this memo is to give the university's schools and departments a sense of the committee's agenda. The main thrust of the committee's work has consisted of updating documents and materials including a revised and simplified Butine application form. She noted that the total amount of faculty resource monies available in the fall is $79,750.
Committee on Faculty and Welfare: Dr. Susan Baillet gave the report. The committee is reviewing the recommendations sent by the students last spring. She has met with Fr. Beauchamp and discussed the recommendations. She will be receiving his written response soon. The entire committee will meet with Fr. Beauchamp in November. The committee also met with Br. Donald to discuss various issues.
Committee on Curriculum & Academic Regulations: Dr. Karen Eifler gave the report. The committee has distributed to the Chairs and Deans the procedural information on how to submit academic changes to the committee.
Presidential Advisory Committee Reports
Committee on Student Media: No report was given, as there was no action taken since the last Senate meeting.
Committee on Athletics: The committee met with the new director, Larry Williams. The top five goals include: 1) maintain division 1 level, 2) academic support is a priority, 3) marketing (Nike), 4) continue outstanding soccer and basketball teams, and 5) Howard Hall. The NCAA self study and accreditation has been delayed to 2005/2006.
Committee on Health & Safety: Dr. Bart Rylander gave the report. The committee expects to have all the buildings inspected by the end of November. The committee is concerned that the university is overdue for an OSHA inspection and will be investigating this. They are especially concerned about the OSHA inspection of Howard Hall.
Committee on Computers & Telecommunications: Ms. Diane Sotak gave the report. The OCIO informed the committee that they will provide one OCIO staff person to assist the committee. Additionally, Matt Liston will be a technical advisor to the committee. The committee discussed course management software for the School of Nursing. The committee's priorities are: 1) university computing infrastructure, 2) technical integration, and 3) faculty computing and telecommunications needs.
Student & Faculty Court: No report was given, as there was no action taken since the last Senate meeting.
Other Reports
Fr. William Beauchamp: Fr. reported that the inauguration was very successful and served as a "silent" announcement for the next campaign. At the Board of Regents meeting, two presentations were given. One presentation covered future admissions, student recruitment and financial aid. The other presentation addressed short and long-term plans by the OCIO. A final review of the university financial statements for last year was given. We achieved a balanced budget due to an up year in the financial markets. NCAA certification was postponed for a year. A self-study will be done a year from now. A 40th anniversary celebration of the Salzburg program was held and was very successful. The School of Nursing has undergone its accreditation, and initial reports look very good but we have not received official final word yet. Fr. Beauchamp, Br. Donald, the Deans and the directors plan to go through the recently completed tactical plan and make any necessary revisions and prioritize each item on October 27. The final tactical plan will be presented at the January meeting of the Board of Regents for their review. Fr. plans to meet with the entire faculty by department starting this fall.
Deans Report: Br. Donald Stabrowski gave the report. The Deans are preparing for the final review meeting of the tactical plan on October 27. We are working with the Presidential Advisory Councils in order to formally involve them with the review of the tactical plan. Regina Largent reported to the Deans that this is the best year for freshmen retention in which we achieved an 85% retention rate. Karen Nelson presented an interesting summary of the student surveys, and Br. Donald encourages all faculty and staff to read these survey results. Arlene Moore reported the formation of a committee to revisit the Honor's Program. A new national faculty survey will be sent out along with a cover letter from Br. Donald. The survey will help to acquire data on national norms regarding faculty attitudes about their working conditions. The Deans met to plan the Catholic high school counselors program, which has always proved to be very effective and successful.
ASUP: Julie Stillwell gave the report. Related to the tactical plan, ASUP has determined that the top student concerns include extended study hours in the library, public safety, Howard Hall, improvements to current facilities before new ones are built, and the wireless internet. ASUP and students wish to be involved with the resolution of the serious issues of plagiarism and grade inflation at the university. Julie also reported that an ASUP barbeque was held, and ASUP is considering new lecture ideas. The Christmas tree lighting ceremony is Dec. 6 at 6:00 P.M. ASUP wishes to encourage teachers to prepare their book lists early in order to help facilitate the student book exchange. It was suggested that gentle reminders and a schedule be provided to faculty before they make their book orders. ASUP meets every Monday at 4:30 P.M. Faculty and staff are welcome and encouraged to attend
New Business
A motion was made to establish an ad hoc committee to explore the wording of the Academic Senate Constitution and Bylaws. The Committee on Committees will choose the ad hoc committee. The motion was voted on and passed.
The School of Nursing recently completed their accreditation reviews (CTND and ONCN) and expects to receive the results soon. They wish to thank everybody for all the support.
Adjournment: Meeting adjourned at 4:53 P.M.
Respectively submitted,
Dr. Peter Osterberg, Secretary to the Senate

He hecho un pedido hace dos días de vuestra pagina, yo calzo un #38, pero siguiendo vuestras recomendaciones de medidas pedí un #40.. ayer dia viernes encontre a una amiga que compra vuestros zapatos y ella sí usa una talla 40 vuestra y me probé un par de zapatos de ella.. y me quedan ENORMES... según mi seguimiento de pedido ya el mio esta en camino,.. que puedo hacer?? hay alguna solución??Por que no quiero cancelar el pedido, solo quiero ver si se puede hacer algo con el probemilla de la talla. Agradezco vuestra respuesta de antemano.

В общем туфли понравились. Качество хорошее, клея даже не видно. Только "носок" у туфель узкий и квадратный, лучше бы сделали чуть пошире и округлым, чтоб пальцы удобнее располагались. Наблюдалось небольшое вздутие материала на каблуках, но это не страшно.
А как на счёт размера они идут?
By pishi82 Sep 16, 2013
excuse me,what kind of heel is this? has custom?
Мне очень жаль, какой каблук это? имеет обычай?

Chaussures très jolies et conformes à la photo!
Petit bémol, les pieds glissent dans la chaussures et à force il se créé un frottement désagréable causant des ampoules...
Ottime scarpe da ballo latino, suola in bufalo, calzata perfetta, cuscinetto plantare imbottito molto comodo, colore scintillante..... dalle foto pensavo fossero troppo aperte invece sono fatte molto bene.
I received my shoes yesterday 9/18. I was worried at first that i wasn't going to receive it on time because I have an event to attend 9/21. At first after i purchased the shoes online, it stated delivery date was 9/22 so i thought i would not be able to wear the shoes. To my surprise with tracking the package it arrived a few days before the event date. I was so delighted and excited when the shoes arrived. Also they were a perfect fit. I am a very very happy customer. I was also looking forward to writing this review which never happens for me. I would definitely shop here again and recommend everyone i know to purchase from light in the box because they are awesome. Thank you, thank you again.
These shoes are amazing!!they are vere gentle and confortable...you can dance as many hours as you want!!!!!
It took longer than I expected for the shoes to be shipped but once the order was processed and they arrived in the Uk, they were delivered as soon as could be arranged by DHL. I had to pay extra for buying goods outside of the EU.
However as I already had a pair of these shoes in red and had ordered two pairs in Blue( Pool) and Light gold , I was delighted with the goods.
The size was exactly right and the shoes are very comfortable to wear so I would recommend them to others.
I should have asked more questions before placing an order about the delivery time etc. My expectations were perhaps not correct but would know better in the future.
These shoes are hot! I don't usually like the shorter heel, I like a 3.25" heel at least, but they're so cute in red no one will notice the slightly lower heel which is probably closer to 2.75". They are better made than some of the shoes from Lightinthebox. Unfortunately, I will have to return them for an exchange because this shoe runs small, approximately a whole size. I usually wear a 38 which is supposed to be a US size 8. A 39 or possibly a 40 will be a more accurate size if you wear an 8. I'll be calling to figure out which size to reorder. Even with the wait, at this price it's worth it to me and I may get another pair in the blue as well.
These are nice shoes, very sparkly, moderately comfortable to dance in

ABC store wins officials' OK
Commissioners change stance, give support to project
Published: Thursday, July 21, 2011 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 20, 2011 at 10:42 p.m.
A presentation Wednesday by the head of the Hendersonville Alcoholic Beverage Control Board convinced Henderson County commissioners to reverse their position on a proposed new ABC store on Upward Road. Commissioners voted to recommend to the state ABC commission that the project move forward.
Charlie Byrd, incoming chairman of the Hendersonville ABC Board and a former superintendent of Hendersonville City Schools, told commissioners that a third ABC store in Hendersonville would generate significant revenue for the schools, the city of Hendersonville and the county.
He also argued that the proposed site at Upward Road and I-26 currently has three convenience stores selling beer and wine.
Commissioner Tommy Thompson called the existing alcohol sales a "very valid point," adding that he didn't see how the new store would hurt the community any more than what's already there.
Another chance
The state ABC Commission voted unanimously last month to table the request by the Hendersonville ABC Board to open the new store this fall at 755B Upward Road, a site that was recently satellite annexed by the city of Hendersonville for the purpose of opening the store.
During that meeting, ABC Commission Administrator Mike Herring recommended against approving the proposed site partly because of opposition expressed by county commissioners a week earlier.
While commissioners cannot vote directly on whether to approve the site, their feedback is taken into consideration by the state commission. The local board requested the state commission delay its vote to a future date when the issue can be heard again by the commission.
Byrd said the state ABC commission felt the annexation request by the local board was a "blatant attempt to circumvent the expressed will of the populous," since the county still is dry.
"Actually," he told commissioners, "at the present time, alcohol is sold in many areas in the county because the city, by request, has annexed those areas so that gas stations, supermarkets and other businesses and establishments can sell alcohol."
Byrd said the county has received $2.4 million, and public schools $2.3 million, in tax revenue since the first store on South Church Street opened several years ago. During the last fiscal year, the county and school system each saw about $50,000 in tax distributions from ABC sales, Byrd said.
The ABC chairman also addressed the issue of the proposed Upward Road store's proximity to churches and schools, saying it is no closer to such places than the long-standing store on South Church is. In fact, he said, the original store is seven-tenths of a mile from Hendersonville High, while the proposed site is double that distance from East Henderson High.
Byrd said his office has received only one phone call opposing the store and that many others have called seeking employment opportunities.
Matt Grubmeyer, principal of East Henderson, said Tuesday he trusted commissioners to make a "good decision" on the matter and that he wouldn't speak at Wednesday's meeting — but not necessarily because he was taking a position one way or another.
"It's just that I feel so confident that we have a safe campus," he said. "We've got all kinds of protocols in place for every conceivable situation, we've got a real cooperative staff and a great student body. Would we prefer to have an ABC store down the road? I don't know. But if it's there, I know that we can keep our kids safe."

Last few nights here I have had a fire in our fireplace. Lets face it. Fire is one of those social and cultural basics. People used fire as a medium for all sorts of events in their cultural and social lives. I was thinking about it perhaps at an anthropological and social level as I sit here by myself with beer and the fire churning. Fire is this primitive ingredient to building reasonable and realistic social media. How you may ask? Well, let me perambulate.
Fire is a technology which allows people to socially gather, exchange ideas, cook their food, tell their stories. In other words, ensure that the cultural values that they believe are worthwhile are passed on to a new generation. The children see the monsters, the heroes in the licking flames of the fire on the wood. They hear their elders tell them on cold nights about the days past. They may drift off to dreams laden with fantasies about the fire event.
We all know how important and basic the act of building a fire is. It allows us to not only stay warm but to engage. We engage others in front of a fire. Whether we once were cub scouts and sat at camp outs as the stories evolved and revolved around the fire or we cooked at the fire or we just sat silently there seeing our own monsters in the yellow and red and blues that dance the logs.
I think prehistorically fire was all these things. They framed and formed how people interact, live, grow up, die and how legends were passed on to new generations. The very act of sitting around a fire on a cold night must have been therapeutic and cathartic. I remember sitting in the evenings in the Mojave Desert with a group of like-minded strange people. We told ghost stories, drank a bit of alcohol but most of all we acted and reacted to our moments. It let us drift into worlds of stars and when you gazed from the fire to the stars perhaps it struck you that those worlds were not so far.
I've written a few times about some anthropological and archeological ideas and theories I had around firepits. How people socialized and gathered and how their populations grew in the western Mojave Desert. Sitting here watching the fire burn, watching our cat sit patiently by it, lets me see how important and basic the fire is as a social and technological conduit.
Most of all its important at this basic and personal level. It lets us warm, eat, exchange ideas. Grow.

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
Udon Entertainment announced at Comic-Con International in San Diego that it has acquired one of the most sought-after manga licenses ever, Ryoko Ikeda's "Rose of Versailles," as well as two other series: Moyoco Anno's "Sugar Sugar Rune," which was previously published by Del Rey Manga, and "Stein's Gate" based on the "Steins;Gate" video game.
"Rose of Versailles," set in the court of the French queen Marie Antoinette, is one of the most popular and influential manga of all time, and became a shared experience for a generation of Japanese women. The main character in the story is Oscar Francois de Jarjayes, the youngest daughter of the leader of the palace guard, who is raised as a man so she can succeed her father. The story mingles real historical events with romance, drama, and palace intrigue, with Oscar in the center and Marie Antoinette, her paramour Count Axel von Ferson, and Oscar's childhood friend Andre Grandier all playing major roles.
Digital comics | Bruce Lidl looks at the digital-comics landscape following Amazon's purchase of comiXology a few months ago. ComiXology's announcement that it would allow DRM-free purchases of some comics may lead to a fissure in the market, he says: "In fact, we may be beginning to see a kind of bifurcation in the digital comics market, between companies tied to large global media conglomerates, that maintain a fervent faith in the need for some kind of DRM control for their multi-billion dollar intellectual properties, and the smaller publishers more concerned with creator autonomy and exposure." He also talks to some digital-first creators about how they approach the market. [Publishers Weekly]
Awards | Editor Justin Hall won the 2013 Lambda Literary Award for best anthology for his No Straight Lines: Four Decades of Queer Comics, marking the first time a graphic novel has been honored in that category. Now in their 25th year, the Lambda Literary Awards recognize the best in lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender literature. ""I'm thrilled that the Lambdas have made such a strong statement recognizing comics as a legitimate literary medium that has told powerful stories of LGBT lives, loves, and identities for the last four decades," Hall said. "This is a validation of a tremendous amount of work, and of an artistic community that truly deserves its time in the spotlight!" [San Francisco Guardian]
Events | Calvin Reid writes the most comprehensive report yet on the comics scene at last week's BookExpo America. [Publishers Weekly]

Puerto Rico's Fortuno Pushes $1.2 Billion Tax Cut
Puerto Rico Governor Luis Fortuno said he wants to cut taxes an average $1.2 billion in each of the next six years in a bid to spur economic growth.
Individual rates in the U.S. territory would be reduced an average of 50 percent, and corporations' rates would go down 30 percent over six years, Fortuno said in a news release. There would be retroactive relief for 2010, with individuals' taxes dropping by 11 percent and corporations' by 7 percent, according to the release. That may increase Christmas spending, Fortuno said in a conference call with reporters today.
"I am convinced that our tax cut and its implementation will be the key to reigniting our economy" which has contracted over the past decade, Fortuno said.
The territory's Legislature must approve the plan, which will be contained in two bills, Fortuno said. The first will be introduced today and cover the retroactive cuts that would take effect this year. He will introduce the second bill, which covers the cuts from 2011 to 2016, in coming weeks, he said.
Fortuno, the first Republican governor elected in 40 years, took office in January 2009 on a platform of reducing what was a $3.3 billion budget deficit. Expenses in next year's spending plan are 20 percent less than when he took office and government payrolls have 17,000 fewer workers, he said.
Making Repairs
Fortuno also promised to help restore a credit rating lower than California's, the worst-rated state according to Standard & Poor's. The tax cuts will help accomplish that, Fortuno said. Puerto Rico, which has more bonds outstanding than all but nine U.S. states, issues more than twice the number of bonds backed by sales tax than general obligation debt, because of the notes' higher rating, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The plan is part of an economic strategy promoted by the governor that includes property-tax breaks to boost the housing sector and expanding public-private partnerships.
Cuts for 2014 and beyond would be contingent on the government's meeting spending and growth targets.
"By closing our tax loopholes and broadening our tax base, this tax reform allows us to balance our budget as we proposed," Fortuno said.

I found the best rates on the Sheraton website. Better prices than calling hotel directly or using the discount agencies. For added benefits, be sure to enroll in the SPG membership before booking.
The Club Level, 10th Floor Waterfront rooms were a great value. Balconies and connecting rooms were available on this floor, as well.
Lounge on same floor with balconies. Great to step outside and soak up the soothing sights, sounds, fresh air of the waterfront. Then back inside to choose from the wide variety of snacks and beverages. Breakfast selections worked well for us: eggs, bacon, home fries, pastries, yogurt and more.
Great service and value. Super comfy beds and linens. Friendly, professional team.
Special thanks to Ms. Jordan Mooring at front desk. She is truly a dedicated Sheraton

I recently got a 2TB Caviar "Greendrive" external hard drive. I tested it, and it works fine. Because of the low price I got it at, and the fact I dislike externals, I removed it from it's enclosure, and it looks just like any other internal HDD, nothing special. When I hook it up, and boot Windows 7 (64x), it doesnt show up at all in the available drives. I can't reformat it while it is hooked up internally because of the recognition problem, but it works just fine when I put the exchange equipment from the enclosure on, and run it from USB. Can anyone tell me where a driver or diagnostic tool might be that can help me solve this? I would rather not format it if possible.
When booting, it recognizes the HD, has the correct amount of memory listed, and refers to my primary and the 2TB as 5th and 6th masters respectively.

Skip to comments.DU Tactics at FreeRepublic
Posted on 04/03/2007 7:24:18 PM PDT by Reaganesque
It is always disappointing to be reminded that there are people in the world who do not like you so much that they are willing to debase themselves and others in order to get their way. We, as conservatives face this from the Left on a day to day basis. But when such action comes from another supposed Conservative, that is truly disappointing.
The posters at DU think nothing of swearing and posting the most filthy, perverted and twisted things about their political rivals. We here at FR are, for the most part, better than that. At least we try to be. Unfortunately, there's always someone who proves that both sides have their ugly side.
I have posted a number of pro-Mitt Romney threads recently as have many others. I discovered this afternoon that several of them have been the victims of childish and down right purile dirty tricks. Now, political dirty tricks are nothing new and nor are they uncommon on either side of the aisle. But some simply cross the line of decency. Such is the case with whomever played their little game of messing with the Keywords on these Pro-Romney threads. Here are four examples:
Romney Tops Republicans in Fundraising
KEYWORDS: ANTICHRIST; CULT; FUNDRAISING; MITTRAPESCHILDREN; ROMNEY; Click to Add Keyword
Why I Think You Should Vote For My Dad
KEYWORDS: 2008; ELECTIONPRESIDENT; ELECTIONS; MITTBEATSHISKIDS; MITTISTHEANTICHRIST; ROMNEY; Click to Add Keyword
Parsing the Polls: Answering the Mormon Question
KEYWORDS: CULT; JOEYSMITHDELUSION; Click to Add Keyword
Romney-Thompson Ticket?
KEYWORDS: ELECTION; FRED; FREDTHOMPSON; MITTISTHEANTICHRIST; ROMNEY; THOMPSON; VP; Click to Add Keyword
People, campaigning can be a hard and painful thing. You have to have a thick skin to run for office and heaven knows, all candidates take their blows, some more than others. But there is such a thing as decency. And this little prank doesn't just cross that line, it obliterates it.
Disagree with the thread? Fine. Present your arguments. You don't like the candidate? Great. Tell me why and make an attempt at intelligent conversation. That's the way this place is supposed to work. But, resorting to such sophomoric, vulgar and quite frankly bigoted childishness is beneath contempt. If you can't manage a reasonable level of maturity, then there's a whole bunch of like minds over at DU you can have fun with.
I'll try later and ping you one way or the other.
That's why I want it locked and not deleted.
By the way, you and your people do not call the shots, not this time.
EV you can't harbor that much contempt not to know the keywords were describing the topic of the thread!
Thank you. Is that FReeper still active?
"Funny thing though, I havent even seen Rudy bash anyone for being religious. Could it be he wants their vote?"
I'm sure he wants all the votes he can get, he's a politician.
Shame on you.
Fire your sources. They have bad intel. :)
Bull, registered YOU are the liar and liberal here. You said I registered over there. WRONG! One of the members with access tothe inner sanctum lets me use her name. You said I did so to disrupt, WRONG! I said I troll around, not disrupt. Troll around, as in fishing, looking for stuff of interest, not disrupting. Get your facts straight before you lie any more.
I've had enough of your lies, LIAR! Be gone.
Someone suggested that you have to get your confirmation e-mail before you can log in.
Truth is hurting you isn't it TROLL.
You are squeeling like a stuck pig.
I missed the part about screen names. I thought he meant identifying real names.
The mods revealing screen names regarding keywords is nothing new as they have done it before.
I don't know of any constraints on your email.
But I think you have to be notified by the admin that your account is active.
I'll check my email later.
Wow, parsing words like I haven't seen since Hillary and Bill! lol
Trolling around does not make one a troll! Sheesh! LOL
Excuse me...but YOU are the one trying to shove your opinions down everyone's throats here....
So are you a paid disruptor or are you doing this because you have a mental illness (Liberal on the brains)?
I probably should have said the most foul mouthed. I don't recall you hyperventalating about his sexuality, his cancer, he wife's job, his supporters sexuality, their loyalty, posters religions and other nonsense. If you have, it's counter productive. So many points against Rudy, other candidates just as attractive from the perspective of terror, and the issues get lost in nonsense which simply plays into Rudy's hands.
This thread, for example, isn't about Rudy at all, it's about the characterization of Romney as a child-rapist, a child-beater, and the antichrist. I'd suggest that for an 800 post plus thread, there's way too little condemnation of those tactics.
Rudy is not "conservative" enough socially for my tastes. Though I do believe he's a good man and doesn't abuse dogs and squirrels. Romney has liberal baggage and won't be able to shake that in the tough days come '08. McCain is literally nuts, so he's out. The rest just seem to be flashes in the old gold pan. Perhaps when they grow up and puberty sets in for them, they may become viable.
It's all about sex Maf, it always is.
Makes you wonder Zarfn if he knows what a troll is?
FredHunter08 it not becasue you disagee with some one, it is a person from the left that has tried to blend in here on FR!
I bet the you confused the name Zarf with AMC.... LOL
Well that is fine, I guess only FReepers bash Christians and others of faith.
Bashing peoples reigious faith constantly isn't too good a way to try to bring people around.
Could it be that religion may not be the main reason people might oppose Rudy?
lol, I thought it was always about the $$$...
Because the GOP is no longer going to pretend to pay attention to conservatives any more. Fiscal or social.
They are losin' it...:)
Uh, gee, maybe because I've checked it twice already and nothing is in it?
Switch to decaf...
Not a bit. I didn't lie, you did. I am not a troll. Someone who supports a liberal on a conservative site, and is a member of an ANTI-FREEP site is a troll.
How interesting. :)
In fact that when it comes to conducting a war, there's a difference between a Republican and Democrat Congress. An issue to be dealt with after the primaries. April is far too soon to concede Rudy a victory.
Yes, I did it. I was angry at other Keywords and some ugly threads being thrown around at Mitt. I wanted to post something outrageous where it would get the notice of the Admins. I already e-mail Jim and others and said I would not do it again and it was done out of anger.
You are an admitted TROLL. Can't rewrite history.
Sucks to be you.
You should try to find out who's account I use. it's not one I registered. Muahahaha! Oh yeah, it's someone you'd least expect, too.
I have some good stuft on you, too, I'll save.
Then the GOP better start looking at the history of the Whigs, because they were destroyed over social issues (slavery).
I'm happy with myself, but you know you have to live with beinag a liar and a hypocrite. That would really suck.
Besides, even if I were a troll at an anti-freping site, would that jeopardize my FR posting privileges moreso than being an antifreeper like you?
Look up.
That's us looking at you from the hole you are standing in.
Clueless FRED, NYC has the leading Consevative talk radio of all across the USA WABC, which has always made me wonder how they stayed # ONE Since the vote is always liberal unless the elections are rigged?
Keep dreaming. If Rudy is the nominee, it will destroy the Republican Party and the RINO liberals don't seem to give a damn. You guys are the same ones who back in 1980 said that Reagan could never win.
The only difference between a Rudy presidency and a Hillary presidency is that the GOP will have zero chance of a mid-term comeback in 2010 the way they did in 1994.
Good idea.
Knock yourself out trying to Google up an instance where I've done that.
Scratching head - why? Why would I care about that?
I have some good stuft on you, too, Ill save.
Post it here.
If I didn't want to be "found out", I wouldn't have registered to post. It's a rule of mine.

If playing black, do you find if your opponent opens with the 4-move mate offensive? It kind of annoys me. I've been playing chess a long time, and they think I've never come across it? I was wondering if anyone else feels the same way.
A typical 4-move game...
If you see it, be happy, they are going to loose.
I find it very offensive for someone to try this opening. It basically connotes that they do not respect your chess-playing abilities at all. However, if they want to lose by playing bad openings, they can.
no as a chess player they can play whatever opening they want its up to them its not against the rules and it is just dumb on their part and i have always loved being under estimated being the underdog is awesome

After reading a few of the comments, I made sure I did a full backup of everything before even downloding.
Enabled plugin with default settings, and immediately website failed to load.
On a refresh, all the menus were out.
Plugin deleted, and thankfully I didn't need my backup files.
Website now back to normal.
