[Journey to be a Gym Leader]
You are a young trainer that lives in a tiny northern village in Northern Kanto, near the border of Sinjoh, called Cameron Town. You wake up one morning. It is raining heavily. You remember that the crisis in Hoenn is still occurring. Kanto has been changed by the crisis, seperating into three main islands due to the rising sea level. You dash outside into town. They are building a new gym for the town. It will hopefully boost the economy. You dream of one day entering that gym as its gym leader, but to even be considered for the position, you have to beat the Elite four and become Champion.
You rush to the cave connecting Cameron and Pallet town, and emerge in sunny conditions. You look around but cannot find Professor Oak anywhere. Just when you are about to leave town, he emerges and warns you that it is dangerous in Kanto without a pokemon. He then takes you to his lab where he lets you pick one of three pokemon that some of his other protege's are willing to give away. Luckily they are all your favorite type.
His younger grandson is also there as well to get a pokemon. After you both have picked one, he wants to have a pokemon battle with you. Afterwards, you remember that Professor Oak had a parcel from Sinnoh waiting for him in Cameron Town Pokemart, and go get it.
You go through the rest of the cities in normal order, touring Viridia Island, Cerulea Island, Fuschia Island, and Seinna Island collecting the gym badges. Finally you can challenge the Elite Four. Awaiting at the end of the journey is the chance to become the gym leader for your hometown gym.

No, I can't by myself, I need an help.
I only would a LARGE BIG IMAGE on the top, but it doesn't exist any template like that for wordpress, only one for joomla. (this http://demo.joomlaplates.com/jp_fashion/ )
A large big image on the top, nothing else.
This would be our "sketch" of the site, really simple and blog style, but, for now, we are using a template pre-made really ugly. This is how appears our site for now.
[Non-GPL theme link moderated]
We have the logo too, a big pad of the NES like in the "sketch" with our logo, but without a theme with a large image on the top it has no sense.
Any help or suggestion to make this fuc...ehm, sweet image?
Thanks all.
ps: the image would be full screen and width, even if I enlarge the window, exactly like in the Joomla template.

iBerry and Open Education - New Format
The page on Science - is the last to be finished in iBerry's new format as discussed in iBerry and Open Education - Work in Progress. All the main topics listed in the Open Education Directory (see menu in the left margin) are now in this format with links to open access (free) textbooks, support for learners and the best resource sites etc all on the same page.
Learning for Life
Who can give the best advice about your learning?
Who then is the best person to go to for advice? The answer is very simple - YOURSELF ! The future is with the self-learner. You know your own learning objectives better than anyone else and you probably have a shrewd idea of your own capabilities. iBerry's Open Education Directory or even Google will provide more than enough basic information on any subject you care to study. There is plenty OCW available to stimulate your interest and then why not join some MOOCs to experience study in your chosen field? You can take as much or as little interest in a MOOC as you like. From participating in discussion forums, doing all the assignments and earning a certificate to just watching a few videos, your level of participation is entirely up to you. Join as many MOOCs as you like to find out what you like and what is most useful to you. Unlike most traditional courses you will not be out of pocket!
Please enjoy whatever celebrations the end of the year may bring and have a happy and prosperous New Year !

What Counts as a MOOC?
While updating iBerry's MOOC Resource Page I had difficulty in deciding whether some online courses really deserve to be called MOOCs. Providers are always happy to jump onto the MOOC bandwagon but some 'MOOCs' now seem to have drifted a little too far from the original concept of a Massive Open Online Course.
For example, 'self-paced MOOCs' are apparently online courses consisting of Open Courseware (OCW) and maybe a discussion forum but with no formal start or end. In contrast with other MOOCs, participants cannot be focused on the same part of the course at the same time and so availability of mutual help and support is less likely. These open online courses may or may not be excellent for self-study but the term 'MOOC' seems inappropriate without a massive body of participants moving through the course together.

In what is a no-win situation, Potter County commissioners continued to consider difficult options regarding the financially strapped county employee health plan Monday.
Commissioners approved an option allowing county employees to opt out of the health insurance program if they so choose.
The county recently distributed a letter to county employees outlining the proposal. At the discretion of each individual employee, employees can complete a form indicating their decision to remain in the health-care plan or remove themselves from coverage.
The employee health insurance plan has become a volatile issue within the county.
County officials, including members of the county insurance committee, cited a large increase in claims, especially in the past three years, as the primary reason for the financial shortfall.
A large number of county employees, including at least one member of the insurance committee, have alleged possible improprieties, fiscal mismanagement and a potential conflict of interest with the plan's third party administrator as alternate reasons.
At the recommendation of the insurance committee, commissioners recently approved a proposal to increase employee premiums to offset the increased costs in the health insurance fund, a move that ignited what could be a powder keg in the county in the future.
Legal representatives for a group of county employees have indicated that evidence of the aforementioned allegations will be presented once an investigation can be completed.
To date, the allegations, which include a discrepancy involving health insurance plan access fees, have been merely alluded to without specifics. Depending on the evidence submitted in the future, commissioners are left with limited options regarding a problem that must be addressed promptly.
"We are trying to do what is best with the taxpayers dollars, but we have to consider who we work for," County Judge Arthur Ware said. "We have to control the situation at hand. When it comes down to the financial aspects of the county it comes down to the four commissioners and the county judge."
Commissioners predict a small number of county employees will choose to opt out of the health-care plan. However, at least for the time being, employees should be afforded the opportunity to determine for themselves the future of their health care.

I just updated to the latest version of WP. I have been longing to incorporate social functions into my website and it seems that Buddypress has addressed many of my needs. However, I currently have WordPress...not WordPressMU.
Can I still utilize Buddypress plugins with my site? If not, can I change my WordPress version to MU and still maintain my current site theme, functions, user accounts, etc...?

Kuching, Malaysian Borneo – The Bomoh, a Malay witch doctor we finally met, continued on with his conversation. You see, in his world, life is not linear.
Kuching, Malaysian Borneo – The mystical, the world between death and beyond, the metaphysical and the spirit world have all become part of the history I am trying to write about the Sarawak River Valley located on the island of Borneo. To travel here is to shake apart ones understanding of the world formed by a life time of scientific thinking.
Kuching, Malaysian Borneo – The weather sure has been crazy here in Borneo. It has been unseasonable cool with rain; and this is supposed to be the hot and dry season.
Kuching, Malaysian Borneo – There is land in the United States that is owned by the federal government. This land belongs to you and me. Some of the land is managed by the Park Service, like Assateague Island. This land belongs to you and me and stewarded by the Department of The Interior.
Kuching, Malaysian Borneo – It has been unseasonably cool here for the past six weeks or so. The hot and dry days of June have been very wet with all day rains or heavy thunderstorms. Where we were supposed to only get a quick shower or two during the day, the skies have opened up. Really weird.
Kuching, Malaysian Borneo – It is Ramadan here, the fasting month. The mosque across the river is packed between 8 and 10 P.M. The call to prayers are louder and longer. They broadcast from loud speakers. There are about three of them and they all call differently, and beautifully.
Kuching, Malaysian Borneo – I decided to wipe out the genealogy project once and for all. I had let it linger for about 10 or 15 years or so coming back to it as the mood struck. It hadn't struck in a long while, more like it was just there.
Kuching, Malaysian Borneo – We had another exciting weekend! The Friends of the Sarawak Museum (the state where I live) asked for volunteers to set up our collections and tell people about them. I suggested displaying our kris assortment. (A kris is a medium sized dagger, peculiar to the Malay world.)
"Tomorrow is Sports Day," my wife said on Saturday. "But he is only five years old," I countered. "Still, we have to go," she insisted. I almost said why, but I knew I was beaten. I would have to go.
Kuching, Malaysian Borneo – The elections here in Borneo are over. They were held on Saturday after 11 days of campaigning.
Kuching, Malaysian Borneo – The war in Vietnam was a turning point for me during my junior year in high school. We were assigned to do a controversial topic for our speech class and, in a place where sentiment for the war was strong, I choose getting out of Vietnam. This was 1967.
Kuching, Malaysian Borneo – The weather has been crazy! The peninsula (western shore to you Maryland Eastern Shoremen) has been suffering massive drought and high temperatures. Here in Kuching, it has been rainy and cool, not all day rains, but thunderstorms. It does keep us quite cool, well below 30 C (86 F). Nice.
Kuching, Malaysian Borneo – For those who have not been following these columns, a kris is a dagger-like weapon used by the Malays. It is used in a thrusting motion for offense and defensive purposes.
Kuching, Malaysian Borneo – There is a very interesting bead museum in Kuching. That's right, I said beads. I cannot think of anything more boring than beads until I began researching them a few years ago.
Kuching, Malaysian Borneo – Semangat is the ability one has to force an object to defy the laws of physics. For example, the person who has semangat can make a metal object rise against gravity. They can slide a coin across a plain surface without touching it.
Kuching, Malaysian Borneo – In trying to piece together the history of this island – from the beginning to 1840 – has been a challenge. You see, I have to read what they wrote and try to interpret what they meant from their point of view.
I really don't remember much about the Reagan Administration. I was overseas working in Saudi Arabia and then started my teaching career in Berlin, Maryland.
Kuching, Malaysian Borneo – First of all, write what you know. You live in a kampung, so write about that. Tell me the color and shape of the houses.
Kuching, Malaysian Borneo – The move had been devastating. All day Saturday the lorry and van moved about 2 km between our old flat and the new one.
Kuching, Malaysian Borneo – We went to a new restaurant Saturday night and I had high hopes for the food. The owner was a motorcyclist who had travelled the world, and his claim to fame was riding from Alaska to the very tip of South America.
Kuching, Malaysian Borneo – We finally settled down to watch a Democratic debate here in the "Land Below the Wind." We call it that after a British writer, in the 1930s, wrote a book with that name. We are below the wind, meaning, the typhoons always hit the Philippines but stay well north of here.
Kuching Malaysian Borneo – We are moving. Yes, indeed out of here! Our dissatisfaction started when the pool was closed for six months, then a year. Then the weight room fell apart all at once. I think it was because the security guards let their kids play in there. In fact, I know so.
Ever since my daughter married into a ranching family in Montana, I have been following the problems out west. The latest fiasco seems to play around a group of people who took over a shed in Oregon to protest the increased sentence given to two ranchers. Here is my perspective.
I had heard of him, of course. David Bowie. But I simply had not paid any attention to him or his life. It wasn't until he made front page on The New York Times and a big splash in The Economist that I realized he must have done something important and I just missed it.
Gua Sireh, Malaysian Borneo – The last time we visited this cave was back in August when we had our dear friend, Dr. Jerry Drawhorn of California, with us. However, we had forgotten our flashlights and could only examine the opening which extended back only about five meters.
Kuching, Malaysian Borneo – Good lord is the year over with yet? We started out with the Saudis executing 47 people. Now, the Saudi's execute people all the time, but nobody pays any attention because we need their oil.
Kuching, Malaysian Borneo – I love to watch the river travel by. I notice the small whirl pools, the flow of the currents and the deep brown turbidity.
Kuching, Malaysian Borneo – The monsoon season is here. Rain every night and day with some breaks during the afternoons. We don't leave the flat without an umbrella; and we have to use it most times. I don't mind it especially after that horrible smog we had in September and October.
Kuching, Malaysian Borneo – Okay, let's see here, I think I have finally understood those people who love the NRA. For those reading this from afar, that's the National Rifle Association, America's foremost defender of the right for anyone, mentally ill, people on no-fly lists and liberals like me, the right to carry an assault rifle, and the bullets that go with it.
My wife and I have designed, written and printed a comic book called "Borneo Boys." It was an effort to increase the English language skills and a love of history to the students and parents. We wanted to give it free to the children.
Kuching, Malaysian Borneo – The Matang Wildlife Centre has a unique way of raising money. They opened a bar.
Kuching, Malaysian Borneo – The Paris tragedy cost many lives and was the result of a family located in the northern slums of the city. I watched on BBC as hundreds of police stormed the flat and took a few members into custody, while killing two others.

I couldn't find the feta with lemon and garlic and oregano so used the regular and added a dash of fresh lemon and a bit or crushed oregano. Otherwise did everything as written but I did cut the recipe in half. I think I would of preferred these just on some pita triangles instead of the baguette. But they did have a good taste and when I make them again I will add a little garlic and salt and use the pita bread. Thanks for sharing your recipe Gregg. Made these to go with Dolmas-Grape Leaves Stuffed With Fragrant Rice and Tzatziki and Keftedes ( Greek Meatballs) Everything went so well together.

Sanctuary Point, New South Wales
Sanctuary Point is a town in New South Wales, Australia in the City of Shoalhaven, on the shores of St Georges Basin. It is roughly 25 km south of Nowra, and approximately 200 km south of Sydney. In 2006, the population of Sanctuary Point, together with St Georges Basin and Basin View, was 8,343.[1]

Community Organizations[edit]
Bay and Basin Community Resources is an incorporated community based, non-profit non-government organisation based at Sanctuary Point.
The organisation was established in 1990 to implement community services in the local area and is a major provider of community services in the Shoalhaven region.[2]
Aged care services provided by the organisation include the Bay and Basin Respite Day Care Service, Shoalhaven Neighbour Aid, Carers Support Group, Shoalhaven Dementia Respite Service and the Bay And Basin Community Resources Aged Care Centre. In 2001 more than 30 full-time and casual staff were employed, with over 70 volunteers.[3]
The organisation was active in campaigning for the construction of the Bay and Basin Leisure Centre, which was opened in September 2001. The organisation also sought and received funding from the Commonwealth Government for the erection of a sculpture outside the centre, as well as contributing to the sculpture design.[4][5]
As an active community organisation it holds community events to draw attention to social issues in the community such as raising awareness of child abuse.[6]
In August 2001, after the Sydney Olympics the organisation was awarded an ex-Olympic minibus to be used in providing transport for the region's elderly, frail, aged and disabled residents. State Member for the South Coast, Wayne Smith said at the time "The Bay and Basin Community Resource Centre is a leading provider of aged and respite care in the region, assisting the frail, aged, older people, disadvantaged young people, people with a disability, people with dementia and their carers,"[7]
In July 2006 the Bay and Basin Community Resources gained a permanent community radio broadcast licence for Bay and Basin FM, and has since engaged in an active outside broadcast program at local social and sporting events.[8][9]

7 For All Mankind Jeans
Ashley Benson in 7 For All Mankind The Skinny in Clean Black
Ashley Benson was spotted hiding her face while leaving the salon in Beverly Hills, California. The actress wore a pair of 7 For All Mankind Skinny Jeans in Clean Black with some Supra sneakers. Ashley is definitely getting more popular by the day. We get quite of a few sightings of her each month. Are any of you fans of her's?
I have these jeans and they are actually really great. I do think they run a bit bigger than true to size. I definitely could have sized down, but they still have a great slimness to them that doesn't make them uncomfortable. I also like that they are black all around, both lining and outside, which keeps them looking clean when cuffed. For my first ever pair of Sevens, I think they turned out great. You can click here to purchase these jeans from the 7 For Mankind website for $154.
Cara Delevingne in 7 For All Mankind The Skinny in Little Venice
The sightings for 7 For All Mankind have been pretty scarce lately. I remember when we used to get sightings of everyone in their Gummy Gweneveres. Those were a great pair on everyone that wore them.
Well, we finally have a sighting of Sevens and it is on no other than the "It" model of the moment, Cara Delevingne. She chose The Skinny in Little Venice with a military jacket, hoodie and motorcycle boots. I am not the biggest fan of orange, well not at all, but I find the beanie to go really well with the look. I also love this wash. It is so classic and one that you can wear day-to-day with everything. It makes me nostalgic of the earlier days of Sevens. Click here to purchase these jeans from the 7 For All Mankind website for $198.

Cher Lloyd in 7 For All Mankind The High Shine Skinny in Lipstick Red
Cher Lloyd walked the carpet at the 2012 Billboard Women In Music Luncheon in New York City late last month. The singer wore a pair of 7 For All Mankind The High Shine Skinny in Lipstick Red.
When I first saw these I initially thought these were leather (which I hope to get a sighting of a pair by Sevens soon). This just shows what an amazing job Sevens did with the coating of these and how far coated denim has come since the trend kicked off a few seasons back. I also find the styling of this look is well done too as it feels smart, yet looks fresh and fun with the accessories. Click here to buy these jeans from REVOLVEclothing for $198.
Hilary Duff in 7 For All Mankind Double Knit Gwen Leggings in Black
Hilary Duff was spotted grabbing lunch with son Luca in Los Angeles, California. She wore a pair of 7 For All Mankind Double Knit Gwen Leggings in Black with a pair of Etoile Isabel Marant Bobby Sneakers in Red.
I miss seeing a pair of the Leggings by Sevens, especially the Gummy Leggings. All three of the main washes (Indigo, Black, Grey) would have to be one of my favorites that they have come out with. I think they would look great with these specific shoes that Hilary has on. I think worn cuffed, like Hilary has here, makes the legging fit work well with the shoes.

Lehman U.K. Unit to Make First Payment to Creditors by Year End
The administrator of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.'s London unit said it will start returning money to creditors before the end of 2012, more than three-and-a-half years after the bank's collapse sparked a global financial crisis.
The interim distribution was announced by Lehman Brothers International Europe's administrator PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP in a report on its progress today. The firm didn't say how much would be paid out.
"There does now seem to be sufficient clarity that we can plan to make a first interim distribution to unsecured creditors by the end of this year," said Tony Lomas, a partner at PwC.
The move follows a ruling by the U.K. Supreme Court in February on when bankrupt financial firms' clients get priority in an administration proceeding.
Confusion over the status of Lehman clients, and the bank's practice of mixing customer money with its own, led to delays in the return of funds and assets held by the London unit.
In its report on the administration, PwC said it expected to recover as much as 13.4 billion pounds ($21.4 billion) from the unit, after estimated costs. Total claims against the estate from unsecured creditors will be in the range of 14.7 billion to 47.9 billion pounds.
Assets valued at about 13.2 billion pounds that were held by the U.K. unit have been returned to clients since its parent company collapsed and filed the largest ever financial bankruptcy in September 2008.
The London unit is involved in legal disputes with other Lehman affiliates and clients over the ownership of assets.
A claim by Curacao-based Lehman Brothers Securities NV against the unit for 6.7 billion pounds has been withdrawn, PwC said. Settlements have also been reached with two U.S. and one Hong Kong affiliate in the last six months.
PwC said its fees for the administration reached 495 million pounds in March, up from 403 million pounds in September 2011.

State budget
Chancellor is "Ray of hope" at Town Hall
Where are we, what do we know and what are we attempting to do about the largest base cut in the history of the University of Wisconsin System? And how will this impact UW Colleges in particular?
"We're going to land on our feet, but we're trying to think this through over the long-term," said Chancellor Ray Cross, introducing the topic of the Aug. 13, 2013, UW Colleges-wide compressed video Town Hall Meeting from the Pyle Center in Madison. If you missed the meeting, you can watch the archived hour-long recording. Click on the following link (or copy and then paste the link in your browser) to view the recording:
System wide the reduction is $52 million in 2013-14 and almost $62 million in 2014-15 and ongoing, explained Vice Chancellor for Administration and Finance Steve Wildeck.
"The ongoing impact is what we pay attention to and that really hurts," Wildeck said.
Asked whether we should be talking to legislators about negative impacts of the base reduction, Cross responded that the most important step is to show legislators that we're making changes in response to questions raised about the program revenue balances accumulated before this biennial budget.
Provost and Vice Chancellor Greg Lampe added that campus leaders must balance what to invest in, hold off on or cut. Lampe, along with Cross, stressed the continued commitment to finding funds to support compensation.
Wildeck indicated that information about specific cuts to the UW Colleges will be finalized and communicated to the campuses shortly.
Asked if any UW Colleges campuses would close, Cross emphatically said no. What's on the table are innovative ways to consolidate back-office services and a greater focus on priorities instead of work that's important but not a top priority.
Questioned about UW System's work to reestablish positive relationships with legislators, Cross pointed out the increased involvement of the Board of Regents and the increased receptivity on the part of legislators in building collaborative relationships with campus leaders. "The Board of Regents is taking a leadership role on that," he said.
In response to a question about hiring impacts, Cross said, "The first thing we have to do is filter through what we can do that least impacts the classroom and that allows us to provide a quality education."
"It is easy to resort to methodical business practices and to set aside the fact that we're human beings and that we care for, respect and value our colleagues," said Cross. He reiterated his support for faculty and staff and said the conversation would continue at the UW Colleges fall convocation later this month.
The chancellor also encouraged UW Colleges faculty and staff to keep joking and laughing. He, however, was unaware of an inadvertent self-referential pun that had the audience chuckling earlier as he spoke of balancing bad news with a "ray of hope."

Chancellor's update on 2013-15 budget
The State Legislature's Joint Committee on Finance met May 23, 2013, to review the 2013-15 state budget, including provisions related to the University of Wisconsin System.
UW Colleges and UW-Extension Chancellor Ray Cross emailed an update to employees May 24, including the information that legislators want them to have a pay plan but that he does not yet know where the funding will come from or how much of an increase employees will receive.
Here is an overview of some of the actions the Joint Committee on Finance decided May 23, which removed $183.8 million in general purpose revenue for UW System (compared to the original bill) including, as outlined in Gov. Scott Walker's budget errata letter, a base budget cut of $32.8 million annually for a total of $65.6 million over the 2013-15 biennium.
- Pay plan: The committee delayed the flexibility for UW System to set its own compensation plan and moved $89.4 million (of the $183.8 million in general purpose revenues in the original budget bill) into the state's compensation reserves.
- Tuition: The committee froze undergraduate resident tuition, froze segregated fees controlled by student governments and eliminated the ability to add any new differential tuition.
- Financial aid: The committee deleted $58.3 million from the Higher Educational Aids Board and is requiring UW System to transfer that amount from its program revenue balances to pay for the Wisconsin Higher Education Grant (WHEG) Program.
- Accumulation of tuition reserves: The committee required the Board of Regents to propose a way to calculate acceptable tuition reserves and to propose a limit for those reserves.
- Incentive grants: The committee required the Board of Regents to use $31.2 million from UW's program revenue balances to fund new economic development inititatives, medical programs and the UW Flexible Option – instead of funding those from general purpose revenue.
The chancellor pointed out that the budget discussion is not over, as the budget still has to make its way through both houses, starting with the Assembly, and face veto review by the governor.
"There will be a lot of important continuing discussion about the UW," Chancellor Cross wrote. "We're analyzing the implications of the JFC vote, gathering information from legislators, and creating plans to help better position the UW through the next stages of this important budget process."
Additional information is available through a UW System news release.
Chancellor Cross responds to Gov. Walker's 2013-15 biennial budget
Gov. Scott Walker's 2013-15 biennial budget proposal is the the best budget University of Wisconsin administrators have seen in many budget cycles.
UW Colleges and UW-Extension Chancellor Ray Cross responded with a news release, noting that the budget emphasizes the role UW institutions play in job creation, workforce development and economic growth.
"I am especially pleased that this budget includes startup funding to launch the UW Flexible Option," Cross said, explaining that UW-Extension is leading this initiative to bridge the gap between what adults know today and the degree or certificate they need to advance their careers. This option allows them to start, progress and complete their education on their own schedules. Details are available at flex.wisconsin.edu.
You can read the full news release here and watch the budget address, which Wisconsin Public Television broadcast, at http://www.wpt5.org/.
Gov. Walker's budget address tonight on Wisconsin Public Television and Wisconsin Public Radio
Gov. Scott Walker will deliver his 2013-15 biennial budget address to a joint session of the Wisconsin State Legislature tonight, Feb. 20, 2013, at the State Capitol. Wisconsin Public Television (WPT) will broadcast it live starting at 7 p.m. and Wisconsin Public Radio (WPR) also will carry live coverage on the Ideas Network stations. WPR's Shawn Johnson and WPT's Frederica Freyberg will provide post-address analysis.
In Gov. Walker's E-update, he indicated the budget will focus on five priorities:
1. Creating jobs
2. Developing our workforce
3. Transforming education
4. Reforming government
5. Investing in infrastructure
Regents approve 5.5% tuition hike
Annual tuition at UW Colleges will increase by $247, to a total of $4,750, for in-state students following the approval June 7 of a 5.5 percent tuition increase for all UW System campuses by the Board of Regents. Student fees will bring the total cost for two semesters to more than $5,000 at all UW Colleges campuses.
UW System said the tuition hike will cover about a third of the cuts to the university imposed by the State Legislature in the last budget. The university lost $316 million in state revenue cuts over the two-year budget period. Tuition increases are expected to recoup $110 million of the loss.
Budget cuts approved for UW-Extension and UW Colleges
UW-Extension will have to cut $2,078,362 and UW Colleges will have to cut $1,749,461 from their current fiscal year budgets as part of the University of Wisconsin's share of the current state budget shortfall. The legislature's Joint Finance Committee approved the cuts on a 12-4 vote Feb. 15.
The Wisconsin Department of Administration estimates that the state will have to cut $123.15 million in 2011-12 and $51.15 million in 2012-13. The UW was assigned to bear $46,135,078, or 37.4% of the state's 2011-12 shortfall.
The material prepared and presented by the Legislative Fiscal Bureau on the lapse is located here. The report includes a section on the University of Wisconsin System.

Utah is fully capable of building a DAL type team that is deep. There are a lot
of problems that have to be addressed but Utah can field a high WP48 team that
can compete for a title without 3 super stars.
It will take Utah a couple of years to get all of the pieces in place.
Be patient. The Jazz are headed in the right direction.
Would you rather have Boozer or Favors? Would you rather have AJ or Okur?
PG need addressing. The shooting wings are needed. But the Jazz are moving in the right direction.
The salary situation is improving also. More talent for less money.

@ Bugoff,
I agree that the Jazz need to address the PG position.
If anyone can give a valid, believable reason to think anyone other than Jimmer in this year's draft can fill this bill, I'm listening.
For now, I've seen enough and read enough to remain on Jimmer's bandwagon.
I also believe that with Hayward's coming out party at year's end, he shouldn't have too much problem becoming the starting 2.
I also believe Bell will play better this coming year (and as Hayward's backup). It was as if he'd "just come off a mission" the way he played last year. Too much time away from the game the previous year affected his consistency.
I think as a 2, Hayward will soon make us forget about the loss of Matthews.
Bet we see some trades by the Jazz to change their draft positions. Not sure free agency has much to offer this time around.

I think Knight might eventually be the best PG in the draft. I also like Jimmer
and the PG from BC. Kemba will start next year for some team. I just do not
think Kemba's game fits the Jazz. His game is similar to Harris. Harris can
modify to a degree. He is a good player but modification will not max this
team's output.
I think Jimmer is capable of maxing the Jazz, assuming they want to return to a DWill type PG. I am not sure KOC/Corbin plan on going in that direction with the PG.
They are moving toward the 2 PG system that all the current contenders are running and which made the Jazz run best (Fisher/DWill). They also have Hayward at SG. He can point and that is why he should be at SG and not SF.
Bell lost his shot when he lost his elevation (at little). If he fixes that he may be back. He also could get traded.
The attitude of the Jazz has shifted from continuity to get the best players possible and get as much talent as the Jazz can afford.
It is a welcome change.

You are starting to see the KOC/Corbin philosophy change but it is not in full
view yet. They are updating the Jazz to the latest theories, quite rapidly.
If the Jazz run a PG who can shoot (not a shoot first PG) with 2 wings who can shoot and twin towers (AJ/Favors/Kantor) they have a better version of the DAL team IF the Jazz fix their Defense and rebounding.
Even if they run a penetrating PG with wings who can shoot they will improve the team a lot. It is not clear yet if they plan to build around Harris. I think it is a mistake but it could be done.
The Jazz are not predictable with a 2 PG offense. Under Sloan they were predictable. Everyone knew what they were going to run and knew how to stop them since they did not have the Stockton/Malone talent any more.
Corbin will make his own mistakes and KOC has his own biases but they are fixing Sloan's outdated approaches.
The Jazz will be back stronger. KOC is getting the talent. His plan of draft picks is right IF he makes the right picks.

One major aspect of the Jazz team play and coaching needs to change. Mainly, their play calling. Like "Bugs" said, "under Sloan they were predictable" (4C, 4down, C etc etc etc.) I almost would like to see a new coach at the helm, someone who takes a totally new posture on the style of offense and defense played. I like coach Corbin, but.. I would like to see the Jazz take on a new mindset, a new playbook if you will. I really liked the changes Chicago made with coach Thib, but alas, it was not to be for them this year. Their franchise took 3 steps forward. Why not the Jazz???

Corbin has to solidify his position before he can make radical changes. KOC is
now the driving force behind the Jazz. Since Sloan is gone you are seeing a lot
of KOC philosophy.
The Jazz are cautious by nature. They can be slow to adapt. However, they are moving in the right direction. Corbin moved AJ closer to the basket where he could make a one step moves (or pass back out) with BIG immediate offensive results. It cut down on the wheezies and the flow stopping one on two inside moves.
Corbin has yet to adjust to Harris. That will change the offense a lot IF he does it. I am not sure that is good.
I like the 2 PG offense. Harris may play more at the SG depending on who the Jazz draft. Or he may get traded for a shooting wing. Harris can defend. I do not like his inefficient shooting.
There are a lot more changes coming. The Jazz will get bigger and faster. The offense will change to max the potential of the new players.
There will be an improvement in the defense by changing the outdated defensive scheme.
Better Days Ahead.

#12. The Jazz would have the best backcourt in the league. They would be
amazing to watch every night. Just the thought of it sends tingles up and down
my spine.
Harris is not a Jazz type point guard. Good coaches coach the players they have on the team and adjust to the style of the player in order to win. Corbin never did that with Harris and thus the Jazz lost almost every game after the trade. So it's either get rid of Harris or get rid of Corbin. They don't belong together.

You got to at least like the enthusiasm of Corbin. I wish he would get Malone to work with the young guys....You have pretty much the greatest player in history wanting to help and no one calls him...Malone should be a coach for Jefferson, Favors and Millsap...They need someone of his level....The one dimensional 10th or 12th great power forward ever, who was actually a center, Duncan, would not be a good mentor. Malone would.

Hee Hee well going back on here it figures Bugoff and Miles would go for Jimmer just like the majority of people. About PR not winning. If Jimmer went to Idaho or Wyoming no one would talk about him. The Jazz are a very conservative organization and outside of Elson and Fessie Baby I say they could bring back the exact same roster and we will go through the struggles again next year. Also the thought of trading Milsap for Matthews as rumored in Hoops Hype is a splendid idea, Devon would be part of the deal and then Rudy could be used as a shooter off the bench. That would offset of what we lost a lot in Korver

A glance at Standerton Hoërskool
If you're an avid follower of rugby on the Junior level, a name you might have heard quite a few times during the 2010 season would have been Standerton Hoërskool, a school that produced numerous provincial school players in 2010, as well as see old pupils making the step up to first class rugby.
Standerton is a large commercial and agricultural town situated on the banks of the Vaal River in Mpumalanga. The town, established in 1876, specialises in cattle, maize and poultry farming with Eskom and the coal mines employing the majority of the town's residents not involved in farming.
Standerton Hoërskool (SHS) is a medium-sized school where the number of pupils average around 850 each year with around 380 being boys. SHS also celebrates its 90th birthday this year and is seen as a major cornerstone in the history of the town and community.
SHS Rugby is no stranger when it comes to producing quality rugby players and is one of the few SA schools who can pride themselves in producing a Springbok. But it wasn't just any Springbok, it was a 1995 Rugby World Cup Hero.
Pieter Hendriks matriculated from Standerton Hoërskool in 1988 where he was also Head Boy. That same year Hendriks – a big, fast and powerful runner – smashed through opposition defenders to rack up try after try. Even with talented players from smaller schools and towns usually going unnoticed it was impossible to ignore this try-scoring machine. This was confirmed when Hendriks got called up to the SA Schools team that same year.
After school Hendriks went on to play rugby for Rand Afrikaanse Universiteit(RAU) which is now known as the University of Johannesburg(UJ). It was four years later, in 1992, that this try-scoring machine was spotted by the Transvaal scouts and given the opportunity to represent them on the wing. He did more than just represent Tranvaal as he grabbed the opportunity and ball with both hands and, in his debut season, smashed the Transvaal record for most tries in a Currie Cup season by crossing the whitewash 12 times during the 1992 Currie Cup. Transvaal got pipped 14-13 in the final that year by Natal but Hendriks already impressed everybody, including the Springbok coaches, and made his Springbok debut in front of his home crowd on 15 August 1992 against New Zealand.
Fired up by a dream debut season and such a narrow defeat in the 1992 final, Hendriks helped Transvaal to successive Currie Cup titles in 1993 and 1994 against Natal and the Free State, racking up try after try with his direct and powerful approach. Hendriks was also instrumental during the 1993 Super 10 as Transvaal became the first South African team to lift a Super Rugby trophy when the beat Auckland 20-17 in the final. Hendriks also featured in the 1995 Super 10 Final but had to settle for second place when Queensland beat them 30-16 in Johannesburg.
It was during the 1995 Rugby World Cup that Hendriks cemented his place in the heart of every Springbok supporter by scoring probably the try of the tournament and handing the Boks the advantage, confidence and momentum to claim World Cup glory on home turf.
It was the opening match of the World Cup and the Boks were up against defending champions Australia at Newlands in Cape Town. With formidable players like David Campese, Michael Lynach, John Eales and George Gregan, Australia were clear favourites to secure victory. It was no real surprise when the Boks had their backs against the wall after Michael Lynach put the Wallabies 13-9 ahead by scoring and converting the first try of the RWC '95. But only four minutes later Hendriks gathered a long skip-pass from Japie Mulder with only David Campese between himself and the try-line. With a quick shift towards the touchline Hendriks stepped on the gas and left David Campese for dead and trying to figure out what just happened. With a pumping fist and the look of determination on his face Hendriks catapulted the Boks into the lead and ultimately to a 27-18 victory as Joel Stransky scored in every possible manner with a try, conversion, penalty and drop-kick. It was this confidence boost that led the Boks to World Cup Glory on home turf.
Hendriks still holds the Transvaal/Lions record for most Currie Cup tries in a career with a massive total of 38 tries.
Another Springbok that first started out at Standerton was Springbok legend and SA "Player of the 20th Century" Frik du Preez. Unfortunately Du Preez never finished his school career at Standerton and matriculated in Parys in the Free State which meant that Parys got the credit for producing the legend that is Frik du Preez.
Over the past few years, including 2010, Standerton turned out numerous provincial players with the likes of Robert Kruger(Lions), WD Botha(Leopards), Howard Mnisi(Sharks u/21) and Jaco Kriel(Lions u/21, Captain) coming to mind. Other players who made impressions during 2010 include: Marinus van der Merwe(Pumas Craven Week, SA Schools), Clinton Swart, Sanele Dlamini(Pumas Craven Week), Malan van der Merwe and Sibi Masina(Leopards)
But the player that made the biggest leap and put SHS back on the map during 2010 was young pivot Gary van Aswegen who made the move to Stellenbosch University and Western Province after finishing matric at SHS in 2008.
Rated very highly by Stormers coach Alistair Coetzee, Van Aswegen's name keeps popping up along with other top young pivots like Patrick Lambie and Elton Jantjies and he has even been described as the perfect number 10.
Van Aswegen quickly got noticed and soon found himself in the Western Province age group squads where he was instrumental in 2010, helping Western Province lift the u21 Currie Cup Trophy by racking up a big total of 207 points during the season. Van Aswegen immediately got drafted into the Stormers' Super Rugby training squad.
Van Aswegen is a physical player that prefers the direct approach but also has a good step, deceptive acceleration, accurate boot and solid tackle in his arsenal. With Peter Grant still stuck in Japan, these attributes earned Van Aswegen the nod ahead of former Baby Bok Lionel Cronje in numerous of the Stormers' Super Rugby warm up matches. Even with Grant back from Japan in time for the start of the Super Rugby season on 26 February against the Lions, Van Aswegen impressed coach Alistair Coetzee so much that he was picked ahead of the Springbok flyhalf for this important clash at Newlands.
Van Aswegen is most certainly a star for the future and another proud product of SHS.
The 2011 SHS season kicks off at home against Hoërskool Montana from Pretoria on 5 March before playing Merensky(Tzaneen) away and Hoërskool Lichtenburg at home the following two weekends in the NWU Pukke league. Finals are contested on 16 April in Potchefstroom.
Their Mpumalanga League for Large Schools starts on 14 May and will see SHS play Ermelo, Ligbron(Ermelo) and Hoogenhout(Bethal) at home while travelling for away games against Hertzog(Witbank) and Secunda. If SHS succeed in making the finals they will contest it on 23 July.
Rugby15 spoke to Director of Sport at SHS, Mnr Koos Fick, and we asked him what SHS' goals and hopes were for the season ahead:
"Our goal is one for SHS Rugby in general and not only for the first XV. We want to get most of our teams into the finals this year"
Any players to keep an eye out for in 2011?
"We've got a good team and it is difficult to name specific players but our game will be based around game breakers like hooker Chris Boshoff and centre Clinton Swart"
Who are the people in charge of moulding the 1st XV players for 2011:
"We have very experienced coaches in Riaan Viviers and Tielman Meyer"
Rugby15 will be keeping a close eye on Standerton during 2011 and will be sure to report back on their performance during the season, as well as report on any of their young stars picked for major squads.

I am the most proudest student of Standerton Highschool. I know Gary and I think he is the most talented,most humble,most respected guy around. We went to Standerton Primary School and I can assure you that he was already destined for success. At every sports prize giving he'd wipe away all the trophies also achieving Sports person of the Year more than 5 times in a row. Overlooking that would just be wrong.
This is the first time I've seen/read such a good article.
Thanx for reviving our school's dignity and name.
Oh what Bullsh*t Paul.
You are grabbing at straws now trying to associate his illustrious rugby career with this school instead of thanking the author for covering a school I have never even heard of prior to reading this article. I believe it is a well written article and covers the players that was actually influenced by attending and finishing their school careers there, not somebody that merely passed through the town. This is proven by the fact that Parys was accredited with the school attended by Frik and that no other major rugby media journalist has ever mentioned Frik and Standerton in the same breath. You have to search VERY VERY hard to find even a small connection between this school and Frik du Preez.
If my sources are correct du Preez attended Standerton for 1 year in Grade 8. He played wing at that period in time and I will not be made to believe that Standerton had any major influence in him becoming a Bok legend. Otherwise Frik would also be out there praising the school and coaches as one of his biggest influences in his career, wouldn't he?
Did the Standerton coaches move him to lock/flank where he played all his provincial and international games? No! If they did I would thank them for their contribution, but they didn't.
School rugby is all about the 1st team and Frik never came close to playing for their 1st team. Nobody cares about the u14 sides except for the parents. And that is the way it should stay because at that level it is all about the love and fun of the game.
I applaud Standerton for producing the legend Pieter Hendriks and now the young star Gary van Aswegen. Because they(school & rugby coaches) shaped the talent and lives of these players in such a way that they continued onto the higher level. But I see absolutely no reason to even mention Frik in this article.
Just my 2c.
At least I know of Standerton's existence now.
An interesting but poorly researched article. Taking nothing away from the excellent "SHS rugby products" mentioned, surely the name of the greatest, the SA Player of the (20th) Century, should not have been left out! Yes, Pieter Hendriks was not the only ex-SHS pupil (not "learner", thank goodness) to have become a rugby Springbok, the first having been none other than the great Frik du Preez! How could that have been overlooked in "a glance at Standerton Hoërskool"!?

I find that the best way to build team chemistry is to do things off the court as a team. For this type of team building to work, it is important that everyone shows up for whatever the occasion may be. For my team, I had them do a lot of team community service events which helped bring our team together and teach them to give back. Players should always understand that their is someone out there that wants to be in their shoes (have the opportunity, abilities, resources, etc.). That is why giving back should be implemented in every basketball program.
Do you have any ideas I can use for community service?

Taylor Crosby's plans changed in one visit to the doctor.
There would be no reconstructive surgery on her right elbow, and no grueling rehab plan that she was conditioning herself for.
That was the good news.
The Nease tennis star and St. Augustine Record St. Johns County's player of the year for the second time, knows a thing or two about battles.
They just rarely come on the tennis court.
In two years, Crosby is a combined 17-2 in the regular season, with her closest match in the county an 8-2 win over St. Augustine No. 1 Vanda Zebrakova.
Crosby's biggest threat isn't a player -- it's the ligament in her right elbow that's threatening to end her tennis career.
It caused Crosby to miss the last half of her freshman year and flared up again at the finish of this season to ruin Crosby's first appearance in the state tournament.
A summer that was supposed to include playing a lot of junior tennis has been replaced by teaching the sport to children during clinics at part-time job at Oak Bridge.
"I'm still able to spread my wisdom around to the little kids," she said. "It's nice to be out there."
As much as she enjoys talking about the game, it's not the summer Crosby envisioned.
She first thought it would be spent chasing valuable junior ranking points that she was forced to give up during her hiatus last year. Then Crosby's mindset changed.
"I played my first match (at districts) and it was not a good match, my elbow was killing me," she said. "I was focused on how bad it hurt."
Crosby said her elbow felt a little better after districts and that she went into the state tournament recharged. It didn't last.
The pain resurfaced and Crosby's power game faded. She wasn't the same player who could grind down opponents with speed and overwhelm them with booming ground strokes. She lost in the first round of the Class 3A individual singles draw.
"She was out playing at state even though I knew she was in a tremendous amount of pain," said Nease coach Mary Faulds. "She's so emotionally strong and mature for her age because what she has gone through."
Crosby said the pain made the last part of her season memorable for the wrong reason.
"It was really frustrating," Crosby said. "I did everything to get there."
She spent the next few weeks preparing herself for reconstructive elbow surgery and the ensuing six months of physical therapy without a racket in her hand.
Crosby flew out to Birmingham, Ala., to meet with renowned orthopedic surgeon James Andrews, thinking that she was going to undergo a procedure commonly referred to as Tommy John surgery.
But Crosby found out that her ulnar collateral ligament wasn't actually torn, just genetically thin and inflamed. It was about the worst thing Crosby could've been told. With surgery, which numerous orthopedists say has a success rate of 85 percent, there was a clear-cut solution. Crosby would've likely been able to return to the court in the spring of 2008.
"I thought it was pretty much a guarantee to get surgery, so that was kind of demoralizing that there was nothing he could do," Crosby said.
"I'm trying to stay positive. There's really nothing I can do about it right now."
Crosby isn't one to complain.
Leading up to what she expected to be 24 weeks of rehab, Crosby was positive. When Andrews broke the news that surgery wouldn't fix her elbow, one of Crosby's first questions was if she could take up golf to satisfy her need to compete.
"I think I could be pretty decent if I put my time into it," Crosby said. "I've taken it into consideration. Now, I'm still trying to get it into my mind that tennis is not going on right now."
The timing and her daughter's outlook stunned even her mother, Tess.
"Here's a girl who's possibly played her last (tennis) match and already in her mind, she's thinking I can do this, I can be really good at this," Tess Crosby said. "There's not a whole lot of kids, or people in general who could be that positive at that moment."

There she presented HAF's innovate social enterprise, High Atlas Agriculture and Artisanal (HA3). HA3 was chosen as one of 15 idea carriers from throughout the Mediterranean region and was given the opportunity to pitch its sustainable and eco-friendly business model to a group of researchers, experts, and investors, resulting in the creation of new partnerships for the success of this agribusiness startup. With a strong focus on food, water, and energy, this event celebrated creative solutions to the challenges that face Mediterranean nations including environmental protection, food security, and water conservation.
HA3 received great feedback for its social enterprise structure based on securing organic certification to increase farmer incomes and to create revenue for community development projects. The brokerage event sought to provide a venue for civil society members, government representatives, and research institutions to connect and increase collaboration. Aicha had the opportunity to speak with young entrepreneurs and innovative thinkers from throughout the Mediterranean region.
HA3 is expected to benefit greatly from new partnerships formed at the Agora MedSpring event. Dynamic partnerships and inter-sectoral cooperation will help overcome some of the most challenging obstacles to environmental conservation and food security. The HA3 social enterprise will confront these challenges throughout rural Morocco by reinvesting profits from the sale of organic walnuts and almonds into human development projects that benefit the community, such as in education, health, and women and youth empowerment.
