Consistency the Story in Review of 2012-13 Track & Cross Country
June 22, 2013
By Mike Mulcahy
Historically, New Mexico track & field and cross country has had success. There have been All-Americans, championships and accolades.
But, for the most part, there wasn't consistency.
Now, after six years at the helm, head coach Joe Franklin has all but changed that.
The All-Americans, championships and accolades are still coming in, but under the guide and tutelage of Franklin, those honors are coming in more consistently, reaching a peak this year with one of the best seasons yet in the Franklin era.
The 2012-13 cross country and track & field campaign saw the Lobos register 56 All-Mountain West selections, 21 individual conference champions, six All-American nods and three conference team titles.
And while many years during Franklin's tenure could rival this season on achievements, no Lobo team in the past has even done what this squad did: win three conference titles in one school year.
While UNM has monopolized cross country as of late—winning four straight men's titles and five consecutive women's crowns—the Lobos finally broke through and claimed their ever first men's indoor track & field championship in February.
In fact, the Lobos are the only current member of the Mountain West to win at least three of the six conference titles (men's and women's cross country, indoor track and outdoor track) in one season.
Additionally, New Mexico has shown more regularity regarding winning team championships, as it has claimed the most conference titles of any Mountain West member since the start of the 2009-10 school year.
Which, for a historically proud program, shows considerable consistency.
2012 Cross Country
To almost no one's surprise, the Lobos entered the season as the preseason favorites to repeat their sweeps of the team titles at the Mountain West Championships for the fourth straight year. With a strong returning core on the men's side and a troupe of new talent on the women's, New Mexico was looking like the team to beat in the fall.
And the Lobos certainly did not disappoint.
Behind stellar runs from individual titlists Luke Caldwell and>Lacey Oeding, New Mexico swept the team crowns at the conference championships once again, giving the men four straight and the women five-in-a-row.
MW Men's Athlete of the Year Caldwell led the men's team—which was nationally ranked the entire season—to a resounding win as the men placed five runners in the top 10.
Along with All-MW performers Patrick Zacharias (third place), MW Freshman of the Year Elmar Engholm (fourth), Adam Bitchell (sixth) and Sean Stam (eighth), the Lobo men held off runner-up Air Force 22-49 in the low-score-wins format and recorded the largest margin of victory at the MW Championships since 2006.
Most MW Titles* since 2009-10
* Men's & women's cross country, indoor track and outdoor track
The women's story was hardly any different, as>Lacey Oeding paced New Mexico to victory in a show of the Lobos' incredible depth.
With the squad's ace, Josephine Moultrie, placing just fifth due to illness, the rest of the team—including runner-up Charlotte Arter, 13th-place Shawna Winnegar and 14th-place Imogen Ainsworth—was able to pick up the slack and propel UNM to another title.
For their efforts, all five women were named to the All-MW team, while Oeding picked up the Lobos' third consecutive MW Women's Athlete of the Year plaudit.
However, Franklin, the MW Men's and Women's Coach of Year, didn't let his conference champs sit on their laurels, as he guided his teams through the NCAA Regional Championships and back to the NCAA Championships in Louisville, Ky.
For the women, it was their fifth consecutive NCAA appearance, while the men were making their fourth straight.
At the national meet, the women raced to a 10th-place finish behind Moultrie's All-American run, while the men fought through illness and rough runs en route to taking 21st by dint of Caldwell's All-American performance.
UNM shined in the classroom as well, as the MW named 15 Lobos (seven men and eight women) to the Academic All-Conference team in the fall. The men's and women's cross country teams also sported robust four-year Academic Progress Rates (APR), as the men's team clocked a rate of 975 and the women 983.
2013 Indoor Track & Field
Entering the season, to say expectations were high might have been an understatement. The Lobos knew they had the experience and the talent for an unprecedented run of postseason success.
Behind 2012 NCAA indoor long jump champion Kendall Spencer, 2012 NCAA outdoor triple jump runner-up Floyd Ross and a bevy of other talented athletes, Franklin saw the potential to claim the team's first ever indoor conference crown ever.
And, like with cross country, the Lobos did not let their coach down.
Spencer and Ross both notched individual victories as the men combined for seven total individual titles and a program-record 15 all-conference selections en route to winning the elusive team trophy.
Caldwell proved to be key to UNM's title run, as he nabbed wins in the 3000-meter run and 5000-meter run, as well as a third-place finish in the mile.
And with Alex Herring (800-meter run), Django Lovett (high jump) and Richard York (heptathlon) taking home wins as well, the Lobos were in firm control of victory almost all of the last day of competition.
All six titlists received All-MW honors, as did Gabe Aragon (4x400), Sam Evans (mile), Ridge Jones (60), Chris Kline (4x400), Charles Lewis (400, 4x400), Derek Montoya (4x400) and Logan Pflibsen (pole vault).
For the women, the conference title chase was a bit more one-sided with nationally ranked San Diego State snapping up titles.
Despite strong efforts from individual champions Josephine Moultrie (800, mile) and Kendra Schaaf (5000), the Lobos couldn't keep up with the Aztecs.
However, the women did place second as they produced a cohesive team effort and eight All-MW honors.
Along with Moultrie and Schaaf, Julie Brasher (distance medley relay), Casey Dowling (long jump), Kirsten Follett (3000), Jasmin McCray (distance medley relay), Amber Menke (pole vault), Janna Mitsos (distance medley relay), Mia Weaver (distance medley relay) and Shawna Winnegar (5000) were also named all-conference.
Franklin earned some honors of his own for his teams' performances. He was named the MW Men's Coach of the Year Mountain by the Mountain West and the Mountain Region Women's Coach of the Year by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).
After the conference meet, Spencer, Ross, Caldwell and Moultrie were able to parlay their success in the regular season to berths at the NCAA Championships, were Caldwell and Ross were recognized by the USTFCCCA as All-Americans.
Caldwell—who had already broken the school record in the 5K—placed eighth in the event at the NCAAs, while Ross duplicated his performance at the 2012 championships with another eighth-place finish.
Subsequently, Caldwell was selected as the conference's Men's Student-Athlete of the Year.
In the classroom, the Lobos performed strongly once again, as the men's team notched a four-year APR of 967 and the women recording an APR of 990 for the last four years.
2013 Outdoor Track & Field
After winning a conference title indoors, the men could have been penciled in as the favorite to win the outdoor conference crown.
But, in the sport of track & field, sometimes things just don't break the right way. With a number of key athletes injured or redshirting the outdoor season, the Lobo men's scoring power—the same might that landed them their indoor title—was limited.
But by no means was it gone.
Despite finishing third in the team standings at the conference championships, the Lobo men erupted for seven individual titles. Spencer, Ross, Lovett, Herring and Caldwell duplicated their indoor triumphs at the outdoor championships, with Caldwell switching from the 3K/5K double indoors to the 5K/10K double outdoors.
Engholm chipped in a title in the 3000 steeplechase, as well, giving the men a program-record seven individual titles earned at the outdoor championships.
The women fared better in Las Vegas, too, as they battled San Diego State for much of the meet—even leading SDSU with five events remaining—before finally placing second behind the Aztecs. The women also generated one of their best showing outdoors as they scored the most points in program history, 145.5, since 1985.
The Lobos' stellar mid-distance trio of Moultrie, Arter and Chloe Anderson led the charge as they placed 1-2-3 in the 1500.
And while Moultrie (800 and 1500), was the only UNM athlete to win individual titles outdoors, five women and a relay team scored podium finishes, including Winnegar (5000, 10000), Menke (pole vault), Margo Tucker (pole vault), Yeshemabet Turner (long jump, triple jump) and Marin Schweigert (high jump).
Along with that group, the 4x400 relay team of Zoe Howell, Tawsha Brazley, Shirley Pitts and Jasmin McCray also earned all-conference honors.
Out of all of the regular-season success, Franklin and the Lobos were able to qualify 18 athlete to the NCAA West Preliminary Championships competition, advancing six of those standouts—Caldwell, Ross, Lovett, Moultrie, Arter and Anderson—to the NCAA Championships at historic Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore.
At the finals, Caldwell and Ross once again proved their talent, as they brought home another pair of All-American plaudits.
Ross leaped to a third-place showing in the triple jump and finished his collegiate career scoring at each NCAA Championships he attended.
Caldwell snagged seventh in the men's 5000 to earn All-American status, making him the first Lobo athlete in school history to earn All-American status in cross country, indoor track and outdoor track in one school year. As in the indoor campaign, he was named MW Men's Student-Athlete of the Year for his performances.
The Lobos also finished in 13th place in the USTFCCCA's John McDonnell Program of the Year award standings for the 2012-13 academic year. New Mexico is one of only three schools to finish in the final standings each of the last four years, joining Texas and five-time recipient Florida State.
Academically, UNM earned its stripes, with 26 Lobos (eight men and 18 women) earning the Academic All-Conference Award for spring 2013. The outdoor track and field teams also registered strong APRs, with the men's four-year APR at 963 and the women's four-year mark at 986.
On top of that, Gabe Aragon, Thomas Trujillo and Imogen Ainsworth were named to the 2013 Capital One Academic All-District Track/Cross Country District VII Teams, as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). They are the 13th, 14th, and 15th All-District selections this year for UNM as a whole, and are in contention for Academic All-America, which is announced later this week.

NOTE: The Central Library parking lot will be closed Friday, June 23 through Sunday, June 25 for repairs. We appreciate your patience.
Log in
The Friends of KPL will hold a booksale at Oshtemo Branch on Friday and Saturday, March 11 and 12. Many of the books will be discards from the library; like all libraries, we buy many copies of a popular title, then discard some to the Friends when demand has dropped. There are children's as well as adult books in the sale.
These are great books at bargain prices - 50¢ each or 3 for $1.00!
Periodic booksales and the bookstore on the lower level of Central are the primary revenue sources for our very good Friends. They give the library $50,000+ each year to support our programs and services. Just think how many books pass through the hands of their many dedicated volunteers to generate that level of funding - most books they sell for 50¢ to $2.00. That's a lot of books handled and sold to generate $50,000+ each year!
Build your home library, support the Friends of KPL as they in turn support the library.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Oh, as far as "pillarless dorrs", what I meant was "frameless windows".
It was a little flexed with the jackstands, those front ones were probably within a foot of the cars center of gravity, you could just lift the back end up by the rear bumper. In fact I gave myself a hernia doing just that...
The car is off the stands and has been for weeks. Those pics are from quite a bit earlier. Its fine with the weenie "connectors." I will probably stack a senond layer of signposts to tie it up more. You can just feel it wiggle over bumps, the steering wheel just barely ocsillates noticibly around in reference to your butt. You can feel it if you look for it, but not otherwise, and only over bumps. It would be good as factory if only we had a non-rusty car, and just spent the $50 on proper sized rec tube to connect it right, and tied the front subframe to the rockers.
also, the car is a rusty pile. the lower quarters are pretty much gone (left one IS gone), the rear rockers are rotted out, rear floor is "soft" at best..... Its a 200,000+ mile indiana body... if anything, it will be patched with fiberglass, great stuff foam ,and bondo. Then painted with rustoleum, just for practice working filler and shooting paint more than anything else.
as with anything, if you do it one, you have tons of advise for a second run. My advise is:
1) get a solid full framed car. this pretty much leaves you with full-size fords. chryslers have been units for decades (can be ok, if solid) and gm frames are mostly thin n' weak. lincoln mark series (and platform mates) have full length boxed rails, if im not mistaken. that would be my #1 choice.
2) make sure it has all the parts you want. ours didnt come with a bumper. ever see a 79 cordoba in a junkyard? niether have we..... hence the welded stack of pipes on there now..... a $500 common car your are just lopping the roof off of is not worth spending few hundred bucks chasing parts down for.
3) remove the windshield when cutting, else you will risk cracking it. that whole a-pillar assembly willl jump a lot while sawing.
4) mark your cut lines with masking tape, and check and recheck by looking from different angles, so the car looks good when you are done. leave a extra 1/4 inch to spare, you can always go over it with a grinder to get it just right. your not gonna put it back if you take off too much.....
I think I'm gonna find a 2 door car, I've done some photoshop work and the 4 door is just plain ugly, not to mention more complicated.
Anybody has pics of a '50s convertible chassis?
Love the use of duct tape............................
Have you taken it off the jack stands yet? The way its sitting on the stands, any body will flex.
This is a 79 Chrysler Cordoba, no frame to speak of. We strengthened it by welding a pair of u-type signposts as half-*** subframe connectors. Works great!
Its just a $100 car that we bought specifically for this purpose. Firstly, I would get a 2 door, 4 door is gonna be tougher. Also, it pretty much has to have pillarless doors.
Mostly, don't bother pretending you are gonna make it nice. Especially if its a 4 door, cutting the roof off is easy, making it nice is not. That and the GM "framed" cars of that era had pathetic excuses for frames, basically they were unitbodies with bolt-in subframes, that happened to be connected with some really thin c channel. Its gonna flop around. Either way, I'd use this as a learning experience.
We started by just using a recip saw with a nice long blade to take out the back pillars first, and then used a tape line above the windshield as a guide for the front cut. doing it again, I would remove the windshield, ours cracked. It has a small crack to start off, but when we were done, it went across the whole thing.
Strength is OK, not railroad trestle, but no stability probs, doors open fine, etc.... This car was actually "balanced" in that when resting the roof had no stress on it, so when resting its all straight, when its on jackstands, the doors stick a bit.
Anyway, good luck!
I like the idea of replacing the rails with tubing, also the x member, I think I'm gonna be bussy the next months.
Thanks, and if something else pops out of your mind please let me know.
|home brew
To keep the B pillars from flopping around you could weld in a triangular gusset or triangular box at the bottom of the pillar inside the passenger compartment.

It will ride slightly rougher without the body bushings, but will be much stiffer. Take a look under some 50s convertibles. They all have "X" bracing in the center. I don't recall how the frame is made on your car, but if it's like the 70s Chevelle frames the rails under the body are very light with heavy rail sections in the front and rear. I'd cut the light sections out and replace with 11 gauge rectangular tubing the same size as the heavier rails. Then make an X section from where the frame starts to widen in front and back. The center will have to have room for the driveshaft. You can leave a 6" or so section out and weld a plate on the top and bottom, leaving the center open. Some of the 50s convertibles did that, with the bottom plate bolted on for easier driveshaft removal.
BEFORE you cut the top off, weld or bolt a brace from the dash along the inside of the car to the rear above the wheel well on both sides, and across the car from B pillar to B pillar. That will keep the body straight while you cut the top off. Otherwise it will warp out of shape.
If you keep the rubber body mounts you will need to add some between the frame and B pillar to keep it stiff. Weld a strengthening bar of some sort to the body between the B pillars in the floor, and extra bracing behind the rear seat for the C pillars. A piece of 20 gauge sheet metal welded to the existing behind rear seat bracing would probably be enough.
It will take a good bit of work to make this idea work right, but it can be done. Will it be worth it though? That's up to you, and what you want from it!
it is now a junker but want to make it a very nice daily driver, 350/350, maybe a turbocharger that is laying homeless around the shop, will have no top, not even a ragtop, will be for sunny days only, I like a lot the idea of welding the body to the frame, I think all the above mods will be made also, my main concern now is what will happen without the rubber bushings, how will it behave?
thanks for answering.
Is this a serious conversion... like you're going to fabricate a top and do it right... or is this taking a junker and making it topless?
If its the first one, consider adding bracing across the bulkhead behind the rear seat, box the frame beteen the wheels (don't worry about front and rear), and put a triangular brace under the hood that ties in the upper shock mounts on the frame to where the cowl meets the firewall. The middle is just going to be floppy, no getting around it. You can maybe have luck adding another body mount or two under the doors to tie it into the frame more rigidly.
If its the second one, take out the body mount bushings and weld the body to the frame
|home brew
A two door would be hard enough to strengthen. A four door would be really hard as they get their strength from the roof. The B pillar will have to be triangulated some way to stop it from swaying in the breeze. As well you will have to strengthen the body behind the rear doors to stop it from flopping around.

I have tougth of welding the body to the frame thus making it a unibody, well sort of, but I wonder what consecuenses this mod could make, has anybody made this before? will it squeal badly or crack the windshield or pop the bondo off?
thanks for answering.
|Generally convertibles have extra bracing in the frames and also the rocker panels............The frame on your car, being a perimeter frame, runs right next to the rockers. You may end up fusing the 2 together to stiffen your car.
Diy Converible Help !!!
I'm planning on cutting off the top of a '82 malibu 4 door, please tell me how and where I need to stiffen the chassis and body so this thing won't open like a flower.
Is there a web site related to this topic?
Thanks a lot.

Hi everyone, I'm hoping to get some serious advice urgently........
do you know of any GOOD SCHOOLS in LONDON for CELTA?
My plan is to obtain the qualification this summer in London. I've tried to ask around, and got the impression that International House is the best place to do it, but also the most costly.
I'm looking for intensive courses (1 - 2 months).
My budget is extremely tight, so I would really appreciate a school with abundant resources (ie. library), so that I don't have to spend a lot on buying extra reference materials. I'm also looking for responsible and experienced tutors.
Currently studying for an undergraduate degree, I'm planning to return to Hong Kong and teach, upon completion.
Feeling a bit stranded as I don't know any friends who are in the profession...
PLEASE help! Many thanks!

I am torn between the two the ruger costs alot less but the glock is really nice also.
I don't have alot of cash so im not sure if it is worth the wait for a Glock or should i go with a Ruger

I am torn between the two the ruger costs alot less but the glock is really nice also.
I don't have alot of cash so im not sure if it is worth the wait for a Glock or should i go with a Ruger
Go with the Ruger and don't look back. They are fine guns and will shoot as good as anything else out there.
alot of people tend to talk bad about ruger semi autos so i didn't know
If money's the problem and you really want one at the moment, I can't say anything negative about Rugers. I've had a bit of eexperience with their .45, a p90, and a 9mm P89. It seemed like they would feed darn near anything, and shot pretty well.
Plus, think about what you want. If you like the double action only setup, the glock might work better for you. Ruger makes some DAO's, but you're more than likely to find a double action single action, probably with a manual safety and decocker. If you like that setup, then Ruger's a good choice.
The Glock's easier to field strip, IMHO. The Ruger isn't all that bad once you get the hang of it.
The gun bug is contagious, and it just gets worse. You'll probably end up with both at some point, finances permitting.
i like both and with the glock you can get mags cheaper and also have hi cap mags. also i oculd just wait a few mounths and get the glock so its not a big deal but i would like to get one.
The ruger autos are fine weapons. HOWEVER, IMO they are a bit bulky and the trigger is not the greatest. I'd vote for Glock 19.
Glock 19 all the way...or you can try them out before laying down the cash.
The Glock and the Ruger are 2 totally different weapons. 2 totally different triggers.
Try both before U decide.
For less than the Glock, U should look at the FNP9/Browning Pro9 (same gun essentially). Lower $400's, and the best DA trigger I have ever felt on a DA/SA with an external hammer.
Not sure of what you are going to use it for, but of the choices you have given, I'd take the the Glock 17.
Take the glock and don't look back! Ruger fine pistol but not for carry aleast
for me.
I'm going to have to vote for one of the Glocks, too. Ruger makes a decent weapon, but the Glock will probably do you better. As for which Glock, that depends on which one feels better.
Glock 17 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Out of thoes choices I too would have to side with the Glock. As for which one well that would have to be up to you. Though me myself and I would have to go with the 17 and thats just because it fits my hand better. Good luck though
Rugers are fine, but it seems to me there are many more aftermarket options available for Glocks, such as mags, holsters, sights, lasers, etc.
They are both fine pistols. The Rugers are very conventionally configured, double/ single, and they shoot just fine. I do prefer a safety switch that switches down for fire, but that's just me. You could always get a decock-only version instead of one with a manual safety. The Rugers are a little clunky-feeling and bulky, but fine shooters.
The Glock 19 has the same capacity as the Ruger P-series pistols in a much smaller, more concealable package. If you're going to carry concealed, the Glock 19 is awesome. I love mine. Simple, straightforward, fast into action, boringly reliable.
You might also consider the CZ P-01 or CZ 75?
I would it is vote for the g19 it is my carry for now until i find a holster for my walther p99
My first brand new pistol was a Ruger P95. I've never had a problem with it. It has only failed to feed once when I had a real loose grip on it. I used it to qualify for my carry permit. It is a bit bulky as a carry weapon so I've been looking for something a bit thinner.
There are other options out there too that shouldn't be overlooked. I recently picked up a Bersa 40 S+W that feels great. If I didn't have the Ruger I'd be looking seriously at the Bersa 9mm. Taurus makes a real nice Beretta knock off too.
There are a lot of 9mm options out there that are very affordable. Go to a well stocked shop and look around.
Since I have a G23 I'm bias and I've never fired a Ruger semi-auto, only revolvers which I loved. I'd try to fire both and decide then.
Best gun on the market for the price!

Architects experienced a setback in March, according to the American Institute of Architects' (AIA) Architecture Billings Index (ABI). The decline in March wiped out the slight growth seen in Januaryweaetxdyvaydzcwq and February.
The ABI score fell from 50.7 to 48.8, the lowest score since December 2013. The slip in March could be a replay of the spring dip in billings in 2013, when billings fell from 52.0 in March 2013 to 48.7 in April 2013—before showing growth for much of the rest of the year. The fall in March 2014 could also reflect the severe winter weather that seized much of the nation at the start of spring.
It may be months before we find out whether the slowdown in billings should be attributed to a prolonged winter or something else in the economy. Fortunately, the AIA has introduced a new analytic tool to gauge future growth with the industry: design contracts. The new design contracts score of 48.2 for March also shows a retreat from 51.0 in March. (Any score above 50 indicates an increase.)
The projects inquiry index score for March was 57.9, up from February's 56.8.
Here are the national and sector breakdowns.
National Highlights:
National billings: At 48.8, down from February's 50.7, the national billings score slips after back-to-back months of growth. For three of the last six months, the index has shown growth.
Project inquiries: At 57.9, up from 56.8, this score has stayed above 50 for well over a year.
Design contracts: The newest metric in the ABI has shown growth for four of the last six months. The March score is 48.2.
Regional Highlights:
Northeast: The March score of 46.8 is down from February's 48.3—and it marks six months of decline for the region.
Midwest: At 46.6, down from 47.6 for February, March marks the fifth month of contraction in a row.
South: The March score of 52.8 is dead even with February's score. The South is nearing on two years of growth.
West: Up slightly from 50.5 in February to 50.7 in March, this month's score continues 19 consecutive months of slow but steady growth.
Sector Highlights:
Commercial/Industrial: At 49.6, down from 51.9 in February, this sector's score closely tracks the national average.
Multi-family Residential: March's 52.1 score is down just slightly from February's 53.5. Growth for two more months will mean two solid years of growth for this sector.
Institutional: At 49.0, down from 49.6 in February, the March score means this sector is suffering a six-month slump.
Mixed Practice: The 47.6 score in March is up from February's 46.6, but it is nevertheless the fourth straight month of decline for this sector.

Guidelines on the State Consulting Act
The UNC Policy Manual
Adopted 06/30/81
Repealed 10/11/12
Guidelines on the State Consulting Act
The State Consulting Act, North Carolina General Statute § 143-64.20 through 143-64.24, created several problems regarding the administration of grants and contracts in support of academic programs involving instruction, research, and public service. Discussions between University officials and persons in the Division of Purchase and Contract resulted in the following understandings regarding the act.
1. "Consulting" means work or tasks performed by state employees or independent contractors possessing specialized knowledge, experience, expertise, and professional qualifications to investigate assigned problems or projects and to provide counsel, review, analysis, or advice in formulating or implementing improvements in programs or services. This includes but is not limited to the organization, planning, directing, control, evaluation, and operation of a program, agency or department.
2. The use of individuals for instructional services, curriculum development and conducting academically oriented research is exempt from the prescribed procedures. This exemption does not, however, include the use of consultants for the primary purpose of assisting administrators with management decisions.
3. In those cases where the sponsoring organization requires that subcontractors be named in the proposal and such subcontractors are not exempt by the above criteria, approval must be obtained from the division of purchase and contract before the proposal is submitted.
4. All responsible efforts will be made to keep the time for responding to requests for approval of the employment of consultants to less than thirty days from the filing of the request.
5. Members of the University Council on Research will serve as a principal source of information for faculty at the constituent institutions and persons in the division of purchase and contract for the purpose of implementing the State Consulting Act. These University officials will assist persons preparing proposals, whenever necessary, in following required procedures. Furthermore, they will assist the Division of Purchase and Contract in identifying persons and/or departments that may be available for consulting with agencies and State government.
The President has authorized the chancellors, or the chancellors' designated representative, to approve consulting contracts. Particular note should be made of N.C.G.S. § 143-64.23 which states that "No disbursement of State funds shall be made and no such contract shall be binding until the provisions of N.C.G.S. §§ 143-64.21 and 143-64.22 have been complied with. Any employee or official of the State of North Carolina who violates this article shall be liable to repay any amount expended in violation of this article, plus court costs."
[This is a rewrite of Administrative Memorandum #155 dated June 30, 1981.]

Well lets get this going. I'm on the snow line in North MO havent seen any snows yet, most of our ponds and marshes are still frozen dispite the warm temps (we probably have 8 inch of ice on ponds) hopefully will open up in the next week. We have gotten a big canada goose migration the last 3 days but still havent seen 1 flight of snow geese coming from the south. Probably next week will start seeing some.
Been hearing that SEMO is getting going and NE ARki is heating up pretty good.
Other problem is going to be getting in fields around here We have melted off about 24 inchs of snow in the last 4 days!!!!!!! Everything is a muddy mess From roads, to fields to the damn yard!!!!!!! I have to put on mud boots just to go to the mail box cause I sink about a inch into the road. NOt going to be many trucks or trailers getting into fields this year And 80% of the fields were all turned over this fall

text: Well first off since this is my first post in these forums, hello! I'm going to be reading up and learning slowly but surely how to make my own costume but in the mean time I figured this is a great place to show off my newest tattoo. To give a brief description, I got this here in Okinawa, Japan (I am a U.S. Marine almost finished with my 2 year deployment here) and it was pretty interesting, as it was done mostly all in translation because the artist did not speak any English. He went solely on my directions that an employee wrote down for him. Every Marine has some sort of dark hobby of theirs that they keep for themselves, and mine is definitely Star Wars. I've always wanted a tattoo of it to show off my love so I decided now was the time. And of course I would get my favorite character, the most ****** bounty hunter in the galaxy! Thanks for viewing!

Few plants can brighten a tired corner like these tough perennials. They thrive through summer and bloom nearly nonstop into fall if you keep the spent flowers picked. Full article
Starting in June, you'll find the plants at nurseries, usually in 1-gallon cans (though the best selection of dahlias is available in spring, when you can plant them from tubers).
These daisylike flowers are available in lavender, pink, or white. Three varieties we like: A. cordifolius 'Cape Cod' (Sunset climate zones 1-10, 14-21), A. c. 'Little Carlow' (zones 1-10, 14-21), and A. novi-belgii 'Melody' (zones 1-24).

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Vendors' started by rotaryracer, Oct 24, 2012.
Thanks MB - sent you a PM with some quick questions.
interesting rear turn signal mounts, are they included in the price
Packing tape included at no additional charge.
All kidding aside, good callout. I know there are other rack systems that come with relocation brackets for the turn signals on the R11xx, but don't believe these are included on the Holan set (I can confirm if anyone is interested). You will probably need to shorten your stock signal stalks, or run shorter aftermarket lights. For my personal bike, I picked up a set of 4 aftermarket LED turn signals for $25 on eBay that work great and will easily clear the pannier racks.
Holan has some great accessories to help you get the most out of your new pannier system. For the group buy price, I will only be able to include free CONUS shipping with the purchase of a pannier system. If you're interested in purchasing the accessories separately, I will give the best shipping rate I can get from USPS/FedEx/UPS.
Inner Bags - Available in Small (29-32L), Medium (35-41L), and Large (43-46L) -
Nomada Case Carry Handles -
Continent Decals -
3L Fuel/Water Container and Bracket -
Lower Strap Brackets -
Sold as a set of four for one pannier. Order two sets (8 total brackets) if you want to install on both panniers.
I have been considering a set of the pannier frames for the HP2. Item #03-001. Would you send me the price please?
You bet. PM'd to you, and posted here in case anyone else is looking at this setup.
Nomada HP2 Pannier Frame (Powdercoated Black) -
Not a pannier system, but an interesting option for the G450X crowd...
Holan G450X Luggage Rack -
I've been neglectful of Team Orange.
Nomada Pro Pannier System for the KTM LC8 950/990 Adventure -
Powdercoated black rack
2 x 38L natural/aluminum cases
Luggage tie-down brackets on the top lid as standard
Mounting kit
The last four pictures show Nomada cases (versus the Nomada Pro cases included in this package price), but do a good job of showing the mounts and overall width.
Where are you at as far as meeting your minimum numbers? Im about to pull the trigger on some bags, but if this is for sure going to go through Im going with your deal. Any ideas when delivery is expected? I cant get your page to load on my work computer so Im going to look at it tonight when I get home and make a final decision. Thanks!
We're pretty close to hitting the minimum now...one more full pannier set will probably do it. Once we exceed the minimum threshold, I will request deposits from all that have committed. Assuming all of those come in, the group buy will be a go. The plan is to place the order on or about 11/19 and I hope to have products out within 30 days. Let me know what you're looking for (if not already quoted) and I'll be happy to provide a price!
Pm sent. Thanks!
Looking pretty good that we are going to meet the minimum requirement for the group buy to proceed....I will reach out to participants later this week with information on deposits.
If you're interested in placing an order, please PM me and let me know what you're interested in. The group buy is not limited to what's shown in this thread; please consider this "indicative only". If you go to the Holan website (www.holan.pl) and see something you're interested in, l can check availability and give you a price.
With the higher discount and free shipping, this will most likely be a one-time event so if you're interested, now's the time!
I'm in PM to follow
Any pics of the tiger with the 31L cases? Would those be an option? Price?
I'll see if I can find some better pictures of the Tiger with Holan cases, but the 31L size is definitely an option. It's not a lot of difference, but you would save $10 off the cost of the 38L system.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
Any possibility of a mounting systems for a 1999 Transalp 600? Also, are they shipping direct from Poland?
Hi there! The only systems I see are for '00-'06 Honda Transalps 650s and Transalp 700s (year not specified). I'm not familiar enough with the bikes to know what was changed between 1999 and 2000, so can't say if the system would mount up directly. I'm happy to ask the factory, but not sure if they will know if they haven't produced a system for the older bikes. All the Holan gear is shipping from Poland to me in New York, then being distributed from there.
You might want to check out B_B's work at this thread.
He seems to know quite a bit about the Transalps and might be able to fix you up with a system directly.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
I'm also interested in a set of Continental Decals!
Just be aware that your stock muffler may not clear the racks. I got a rack for Zega cases and the stock muffler is too fat, I should receive my Leo Vince muffler today and am hoping it clears. I ordered direct from Poland a few months back when their was no support stateside and they were really fast with delivery and the build construction on the racks is very nice, I got the stainless version for my HP2.
Try Oleksii from Albur Moto (http://www.alburmoto.com). He lives in the Czech Republic next to the factory. I just got a set shipped to Australia and he is incredibly helpful. He even drives the stuff across the border to Germany and ships it from there with DHL which is cheaper and quicker. I got the colour scheme of the Panniers custom made. Nothing was to hard. Highly recommended.

It's interesting -- to slow down. Normally, I feel like at this point I should be speeding up, working faster, making more. But with this new slowness in me, I'm teaching myself, and it's a wonderful feeling to still know you can learn. I can always get better, and that makes me want to keep going.
And speaking of slow things, on the exact opposite end of that I've now joined something rather fast: Yes, yes indeed, I am now doing the Instagramy Thingy. Hooray! I know some have said it was about damn time I got a fancy phone. Well, I held out long enough, and the pull of the immediate has finally caught me. And the thing is... I love it! I love seeing everyone's photographs and I've been happily flooding the internet with a stream of pretty little squares just like an over zealous newbie should.

Location: Innovative Fruit Production, Improvement and ProtectionTitle: Transgenic plums developed and commercialized through public research Author
|Scorza, Ralph
Submitted to: American Phytopathological Society Annual Meeting
Publication Type: Abstract Only
Publication Acceptance Date: 4/15/2010
Publication Date: 4/21/2010
Citation: Scorza, R. 2010. Transgenic plums developed and commercialized through public research [abstract]. American Phytopathological Society Annual Meeting. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Genetic engineering (GE) is a breeding approach that can specifically target genetic improvements and allow for the development of novel, useful traits including pathogen resistance. GE can provide a complementary approach to conventional breeding methodologies to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of breeding programs. In spite of the potential utility of GE for fruit tree improvement, the technology has not, to date, been widely exploited in fruit trees especially in terms of bringing products to market. Transgenic plum trees that are highly resistant to Plum pox virus (PPV) are one example of GE that can be of significant benefit to growers and consumers, while providing unique genetic material for use in conventional breeding programs. The development and testing of this plum, including long-term field test data from several countries, and its current regulatory status in the U.S. will be presented.

By virtue of a shocking, triple-overtime loss to Washington two weeks earlier, the 9-2 Cougars needed to win this game of scheduling quirkiness (the final contest of the regular-season, in December, in Pasadena, against 7-4 UCLA) in order to smell the Roses for the second time in five years.
If everything went as planned, Washington State would return to this very same field in less than a month to take on Oklahoma.
And what was planned first was a little gadgetry.
|PHOTO GALLERY: A 33-shot look at the game can be found at bottom of this article
The script on this sunny day in the shadow of the San Gabriel Mountains was for the Cougars to reach into Price's magic bag on their second offensive snap of the game.
Henderson, a senior receiver with an extraordinary record passing the ball, would catch a bubble screen behind the line of scrimmage and then turn and fire downfield to Bush, a fellow senior receiver.
The name of the play was Rip Double Pass.
The Cougs had practiced it since Henderson joined the program as a freshman in 1999, and they ran it at least twice per practice in the week leading up to UCLA.
But there was one fly in the ointment of this perfect plan. And that was Henderson himself.
In his four years at WSU he had become so adept at passing the ball when the opposition least expected it that he probably holds an NCAA record of some kind.
In four seasons, he completed 11 of 12 throws for 499 yards and six touchdowns. The only incompletion was two weeks earlier, against Washington, when the snap on a Cougar field goal try went awry and Henderson, the holder, had to improvise and forced an incomplete pass.
But because of his impressive record, Henderson had become something of a marked man in the Pac-10. When he rotated into games, opposing defenses often called it out so that no one would be caught off guard by the accuracy of his right arm.
COLLIN HENDERSON: The most accurate "quarterback" in WSU history.
So Price decided Henderson, a starter, would throw on the second play of the game, before his coming in and out of the huddle started raising awareness of his presence.
To help set up the play, Price called for senior running back John Tippins to run off left tackle on the first play of the series. This put the ball on the left hash for the second play, which create more space on the right side for the maneuverings of the looming trick play.
When the Cougs came to the line of scrimmage for that second snap, Casper, in the broadcast booth, commented that this might be the perfect time for the Cougs to try one of their patented Henderson passes.
Casper's a sharp guy, but forecasting that play call was straight from left field. Or so it may have seemed to the regional TV audience.
Henderson had tipped off Casper that morning, telling him he would "look like a genius" if he predicted the trickery on the air.
Even better for WSU, the Bruins switched from a cover 2 alignment to a single-safety look -- ideal for what the Cougs were about to do -- just as quarterback Jason Gesser started to call out the signals.
"We got the look we wanted," remembers Gesser. "All I had to do was make sure the pass I threw to Collin was a lateral."
Gesser took the snap from center Tyler Hunt, turned right, and threw a swing pass (laterally!) to Henderson, who had lined up in the slot and was running to his right.
This is where Bush, lined up on the outside, had to summons an Oscar-worthy performance to make the play work.
on Dec. 7, 2002
The corner bought it, and so did the safety.
Bush put on the brakes before actually making a block, turned up field, blasted the jets, and headed straight down the right sideline.
Henderson fired.
"I was afraid it was going to be overthrown, but he caught it right in stride," recalls Henderson, who now is a pharmaceutical sales representative with GlaxoSmithKline in the Seattle area and is married with a 5-month-old son.
"I probably threw the ball 30 or 35 yards in the air and Mike did the rest. This was the only pass in my career where I didn't get the laces, but I had to get rid of the ball fast ... it didn't matter because no one was near Mike."
In fact, Bush was so wide open that it was almost unnerving.
"Those are the passes that are hardest to catch, because you have time to think to yourself that this kind of thing just doesn't happen," Bush says. "It seemed like the ball was in the air forever."
As fate would have it, his family was sitting in that end zone and on that side of the field.
"My uncle took a picture of me running toward them, with the scoreboard in the background. I have it framed and sitting in our book case," he said.
The box score the next day simply read "Bush 66-yd pass from Henderson (Dunning kick)."
The reality was that the play was much more than a touchdown. The tone had been set. The game was 37 seconds old and WSU led 7-0 even though their star quarterback, wearing a specially designed protective boot on his right leg, was badly hobbled from the high ankle sprain he had suffered against the Huskies two weeks earlier.
Still, the Bruins put up a great fight, rebounding to take a 14-7 lead on the strength of an interception return for a TD and a long scoring pass.
The Cougars then reeled off 24-straight points. Gesser hit Devard Darling and Jerome Riley on 8- and 22-yard TD passes to put the Cougs up 21-14. Curtis Nettles recovered a fumbled kickoff at the UCLA 18-yard line to set up a 30-yard Drew Dunning field goal, and then Cougar running back Jermaine Green dialed up an 80-yard TD run to extend the lead to 31-14 with 48 seconds left in the first half.
A miscommunication on the subsequent kickoff essentially gave UCLA a free TD just before halftime. WSU's Adam Holiday thought he heard the call for an onside kick. Alas, he was the only Cougar in the building thinking that way and UCLA wound up with the ball on the WSU 39 and scored on the very next play to make it 31-21 at intermission.
The opportunistic Cougs put the game away in the second half. They sandwiched another Dunning field goal with an Adam Braidwood block of a Bruin punt to set up a 1-yard Tippins TD run and then sealed the deal with 10 minutes left when Erik Coleman picked off Drew Olsen and ran 25 yards for a TD.
Final score: 48-27.
Washington State was going to the Rose Bowl. Again.
Gesser, who completed 15 of 24 passes for 247 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions, called the bye week leading up to the game a blessing because it gave him time to get back on his feet following the leg injury in the Apple Cup.
DESPITE HIS IMMOBILITY, WHICH RESULTED IN 4 SACKS, GESSER STILL PASSED FOR 247 YARDS AND 2 TDs.
While badly hobbled, his mind was working overtime. Early in the game he noticed UCLA's defense frequently in an alignment he thought would be susceptible to a run play, called 14X, that the Cougs hadn't called since the start of the season.
"I asked our linemen if they remembered it, and we pretty much dialed it up right out there on the field," Gesser said. "It was an outside run that I thought would work well. Our second touchdown capped a 94-yard drive and close to half of the 10 plays we called were 14X."
By day's end, the Cougs racked up 541 yards of total offense with a quarterback who couldn't run.
Gesser told reporters after the game, "I'm feeling no pain right now." A photo of him clenching a rose in his teeth seemingly ran in every newspaper from Longview to Colville.
The reality of his work at UCLA on that sunny December day was that it was a minor miracle, coupled with a whole lot of grit, that he even played. Price put Gesser's showing into perspective when he told the gathered media the leg injury is so severe that it's only 50/50 Gesser will be able start in the Rose Bowl game 3 ½ weeks hence.
For Gesser, clinching the Rose Bowl was a culmination of people telling him what he could not accomplish in football, beginning as a youth on Honolulu to suffering through losing seasons, first while redshirting in 1998 and on through 2000 with the Cougars.
"To have everything rolled into one moment … we did it," Gesser said this week. "People have always said I can't do something and I prove them wrong 10 times over."
Henderson remembers it as the apex of hard work that began in 2001, when most of the team remained in Pullman during the summer, which was not typical at the time, in an effort to recapture the magic the program had enjoyed in 1997. That 2001 team also won 10 games. But its final stop was El Paso and the Sun Bowl.
This time it was going to be Pasadena and the Granddaddy of the Them All.
Because of an early kickoff time against the Bruins, the Cougs were back in Pullman around 7 p.m. that night. And the celebration really began.
"To see your peers and to share that was a really neat moment," Henderson.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|To add some additional info on what Bogie has posted, running the engine in valve float or with an unstable valvetrain due to weak springs just beats the hell out of the chain, among other things it beats up.
The timing chain has little to do with the oil pump beyond spinning the cam to drive it. That said, the power it takes to drive an oil pump isn't anything compared to the dynamic vibration moments the valve train introduces into the camshaft. The cam is constantly snapping forward and backward against the gear and chain interface. The same interface also sees similar action at and from the crankshaft.
Every time a lobe raises a lifter the cam's rotation is slowed. On the opposite side of the lobe, when the lifter goes over the top of the lobe the spring closing the valve adds an acceleration to the cam. For a race engine with powerful valve springs, this gets to be considerable moments that try to alter the speed of the cam. This rattles the connection of the chain inside the gear tooth mesh with a lot of force and at high frequency.
On the other end of the timing chain, the crankshaft slows somewhat every time it has to push a piston to compression and to a lessor extent to exhaust, then it is greatly accelerated on the power stroke. So while the crankshaft is turning a constant RPM it is being subjected to all these slowing and accelerating moments to which it cannot respond with a speed change. These moments set up a twist in the shaft such that it is constantly winding and unwinding. Granted the amount of movement is small, but it does set up a considerable vibration inside the crank. The nose end takes the biggest beating as the drive end has a flywheel/clutch or torque converter to soak up the vibrations. On the front end you've got a damper whose job it is to absorb vibrations getting to that end of the crank. However, the timing drive gear and cam drive chain are between the throws and the damper, so the driving gear sees those vibrations and introduces them into the chain thru the tooth to chain engagement. So especially, the timing chain in this system takes a considerable beating. In a grocery getter street engine with this set up, the life span is pretty decent but as the the engine gyrates toward increasing levels of performance, the life span begins to take a reduction to where in race engine it's a beating. Gear drives are an attempt to overcome the lifespan and timing accuracy deficiencies of the chain and gear set up, but this is a brute force solution which has it's own set of problems especially at lower RPMs.
You'd be surprised at how many race engine builders use the factory type silent link chain with either nylon toothed or steel gears. The reason is that these tend to isolate the crank vibrations from those of the cam which results in better distributor timing stability where a crank trigger ignition is rules prohibited. But this is a set up that is short lived, but while it's on it's really good. Roller chain is something of a compromise as it absorbs some of the vibrations but not as well as Morse chain, while the roller is more resistant to stretch and wear in the gear teeth than the Morse, so it tends to last longer than OEM style chains. Gear drives, I think, are better suited to engines that see a lot of time at constant or nearly constant high RPM. Getting them out of the slower speeds lets them overrun the oscillating moments on the cam and crank so they pick up a lot of stability. At lower or constantly changing RPMs they tend to telegraph vibratory moments into the cam making holding steady timing at the distributor difficult and subjecting the gears to a beating they really don't need. The stronger gears just move the vibration problem into the crank and cam. So if your racing is a type where you put the pedal to metal and aim the car, a gear drive could be a good way to go.
Good info. I am not using this motor as an oval track only, but definiatley want a good oil system. I just put the crank in, and from a plastigage, i got a little over .002. the thrust bearing was a little more than the mains. the mains show closer to .002 that .003. ~.0023ish i would imagine.
Is the melling hv oil pump (#m55hv) good? i had it in my last motor, but some say that it was partly the cause of my stretched timing chain.
I would recommend you pay a lot of attention to the lube system, especially if you have to run a wet sump. You've got to keep the oil where the pick up is or the pick up where the oil is. You need a good windage tray to let the oil settle and de-aerate and a scraper or kick-out pan on the right side to catch the oil whipping along with the crank and peel it back to the pan, this is needed whether a wet or dry sump is used.
|Anything under .0015 is not enough and anything over .003 is too much.
327 Crank install
I Am getting my block from the machine shop tomorrow, and i am going to put together the crank and check to see if tolerences are within spec. Al parts are forged, crank is a large journal GM 327 crank, it was just ground .010/.010 under. The block had studs put in and got line honed.
This motor will see 7600rpm ever so often, and at least 6000 quite often. What are all the tolerances that i need to check? Does anyone have a link or something for a list of specs for a performance build?
Cam is isky cam 3000-7600 oval track. I am planning on getting some rhs proaction 200cc heads, forged KB pistons, and scat i-beam rods.
Thanks, josh.

So, what is your favorite habit when you gaze off into the wild blue yonder?
heard a story about an old man that would save it in a bucket. when he had enough, he'd put on his rain slicker and get an old ladle. he'd go out and toss pee up the trunk of trees to scare off bears. he said that if the pee was high, the bears would thing a really big bear had done the job and would stay away :-)
JP, that guy in the picture looks like Doc from Back to the Future with Michael J. Fox. I watched that show recently, man was it good to revisit such an old movie. Beautiful and wonderful day, :) :) :) Cindi
Bears scratch and mark their territories as high as possible. Makes other bears think they are bigger. Dogs do it too by lifting leg. Scare the other dogs in the neighborhood, lift your dog up high!

Curry-Howard-Lambek correspondence
From HaskellWiki
BrettGiles (Talk | contribs)
m (→Type Classes: - links, follow naming guidelines and amazingly, they appear! :))
Uchchwhash (Talk | contribs)
m (Curry-Howard isomorphism moved to Curry-Howard-Lambek correspondence)
Revision as of 05:44, 5 November 2006
The Curry-Howard isomorphism is an isomorphism between types (in programming languages) and propositions (in logic). Interestingly, the isomorphism maps programs (functions in Haskell) to (constructive) proofs (and vice versa). (Note there is also a third part to this correspondance, sometimes called the Curry-Howard-Lambek correspondance, that shows an equivalance to Cartesian closed categories)
1 The Answer
As is well established by now,
theAnswer :: Integer theAnswer = 42
2 InferenceA (non-trivial) Haskell function maps a value (of type
representation :: Bool -> Integer representation False = 0 representation True = 1
3 Connectives
Of course, atomic propositions contribute little towards knowledge, and the Haskell type system incorporates the logical connectives and , though heavily disguised. Haskell handles conjuction in the manner described by Intuitionistic Logic. When a program has type , the value returned itself indicates which one. The algebraic data types in Haskell has a tag on each alternative, the constructor, to indicate the injections:
data Message a = OK a | Warning a | Error a p2pShare :: Integer -> Message String p2pShare n | n == 0 = Warning "Share! Freeloading hurts your peers." | n < 0 = Error "You cannot possibly share a negative number of files!" | n > 0 = OK ("You are sharing " ++ show n ++ " files."
show :: Message String -> String show (OK s) = s show (Warning s) = "Warning: " ++ s show (Error s) = "ERROR! " ++ s
The conjuction is handled via an isomorphism in Closed Cartesian Categories in general (Haskell types belong to this category): . That is, instead of a function from to Z, we can have a function that takes an argument of type X and returns another function of type , that is, a function that takes Y to give (finally) a result of type Z: this technique is (known as currying) logically means .
(insert quasi-funny example here)
So in Haskell, currying takes care of the connective. Logically, a proof of is a pair (a,b) of proofs of the propositions. In Haskell, to have the final C value, values of both A and B have to be supplied (in turn) to the (curried) function.
4 Theorems for free!
Things get interesting when polymorphism comes in. The composition operator in Haskell proves a very simple theorem.
(.) :: (a -> b) -> (b -> c) -> (a -> c) (.) f g x = f (g x)
5 Type Classes
A type class in Haskell is a proposition about a type.
class Eq a where (==) :: a -> a -> Bool (/=) :: a -> a -> Bool
instance Eq Bool where True == True = True False == False = True _ == _ = False (/=) a b = not (a == b)
6 Indexed Types
(please someone complete this, should be quite interesting, I have no idea what it should look like logically)

Curious...that looks like stuff you'd find on...
Selective sampling is selective. Just look: only 3 ([HOONIGAN] don't count) of the albums here are motorsports/automotive engineering related. All the other crap is "stance."
I think the broad spectrum of automotive related coverage that S|W has doing as of late is awesome. As far as the forum goes, it is one of VERY few where you have a really diverse group of cars all in one spot, and that's awesome IMO.

The Lesley University Library is guided by mission and vision statements that express the values and intentions of the library as it serves the mission of the university.
The Lesley University Library provides high quality collections and information services in support of the University's research mission as well as the integration of academic and field-based learning. To fulfill its mission, the Library will develop collections of sufficient quality, size, and diversity to support the teaching and research requirements of the academic community. This requires materials that embrace the full spectrum of information media. The library will anticipate collection needs and establish collection strength to support graduate and undergraduate programs in education, expressive therapies, human services, psychology, the visual arts, as well as the liberal arts and sciences, in a broad range of formats. It will facilitate access to collections owned by other institutions and serve as a gateway to global networked information resources.
The library will collaborate with faculty to teach the research skills necessary for students to utilize information resources independently, critically, and efficiently using both traditional and new information technologies. Through information literacy programs and informal assistance, the Library provides an avenue to professional achievement and lifelong learning for individuals in the university community. The library will provide a staff that possesses and continually reinforces the specialized skills and knowledge necessary for the Library to function in a diverse, global, and increasingly complex information environment.
The Library is of central importance to the University. A dynamic combination of people, collections, and facilities, its purpose is to assist users in the process of transforming information into knowledge. Our core principle is excellent service to our community. In all of our activities we seek to meet or exceed our users' expectations. We set high standards for the contribution we make to the University's pursuit of knowledge and educational excellence. We value diversity of perspectives and unfettered access to information. We value the privacy of every patron. To meet future challenges, our staff will endeavor to be resourceful, innovative, and flexible professionals. We recognize the critical contribution we make to the effectiveness of the Library. We believe that these values are central to realizing the University's vision.
Lesley University Library, in partnership with students and faculty, will create information-rich environments that empower and inspire the Lesley Community for teaching and learning. A dynamic, student-centered library will provide opportunities to access and evaluate information and to effectively and ethically communicate learning through discussion, print, media and the arts.
The Lesley Library is the intellectual center of scholarship for the University. It provides the services, resources and environments appropriate to support the mission of a far-reaching university that is a national leader in education, offering innovative programs through the College of Art and Design, the Graduate School of Arts and Social Sciences, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and the School of Education. As a primary source of support for the academic pursuits of the University, the library provides the expertise of its staff to teach information literacies to faculty and students, guiding the search, evaluation, and use of information. Students and faculty use the Library's considerable resources through both physical and virtual environments. The Library holds a vision that all students, staff and faculty will have universal access to the services and resources necessary for their academic work, consistent with diverse learning styles, abilities, and locations.
Library personnel build close personal connections with students and faculty, locally and at a distance, to guide the programs, collections, and goals of the library as it transforms for the 21st century. Library staff members reach out to students on and off-campus through services such as Interlibrary Loan, Electronic Reserves, Ask-A-Librarian, and other instructional and consultative services. Library professionals provide expertise and leadership in the creation, management, and delivery of information services and resources. They guide students, faculty, and staff in their use of increasingly complex information, and create teaching resources that inspire and enable student learning. In the information age, librarians play a primary role in the development of information-fluent citizens, capable of academic excellence and life-long learning.
The Library develops digital and physical collections that enhance the undergraduate experience, enable graduate students to prosper, and assure that the teaching and research interests of faculty and Ph.D. candidates be supported. Library collections support students in their research with resources that mirror the wide-ranging intellectual endeavors of Lesley University, guided by consultation with faculty. Electronic databases identify physical materials, and deliver digital resources such as journal articles, e-books, images and multi-media to student and faculty desk-tops. Where quality, access, technologies, and network capabilities meet the needs of Lesley populations, digital resources will be the preferred choice in collection development. The Library will continue to collect physical resources, including print books and journals, multimedia and curriculum materials, and art resources, where the physical experience of the medium is primary to learning or where digitization rights are not available. Students and faculty will enjoy universal access to collections through local use, networked environments, resource-sharing with consortial partners, and interlibrary loan, as appropriate to need and location. Physical materials will be digitized and delivered electronically where feasible and in compliance with the intellectual property policies of the University.
Virtual Environments
Students and faculty will enjoy seamless access to the expanding world of digitized information through secure single sign-in authentication. Robust networks will empower students, faculty and librarians to research, collaborate, and share new learning, through communication tools and media. The Library will continue to build interactive online services to reach out to students and faculty through reference, instruction, and resource sharing. The virtual library environment will evolve as information technologies change and institutional needs expand.
Physical Environments
The physical library is a building where members of the Lesley community come to share academic life and to interact in teaching and learning. Students residing on-campus will find an environment supportive of study and individual learning styles. Commuting students will enjoy a common space where they can collaborate on group work with peers living across the region. Faculty and advanced graduate students will discover quiet areas for reflective study and consultation. All community members will have choices of accessible and welcoming spaces that are flexible, active and interactive – designed to encourage collaboration with library professionals, collections and tools. The Library reaches out to all of Lesley's communities, local and remote, through innovative services developed and managed from the library facilities. The physical plant accommodates preparation, preservation, and access to collections, from circulating materials to archival and special collections, in a variety of media and formats. The Library will continue to employ creative alternatives to house materials, including remote storage, digitization, and online delivery.
The Library builds strong partnerships across the University – with students to shape library experiences that enhance lifelong learning; with faculty to align collections and services with curriculum and pedagogy; with University Technology to develop robust and dynamic technology environments; with Disabilities Services to create accessible spaces and resources; and with other University-wide programs to serve the Lesley communities. The Library participates with external networks, consortia and other partners, to maximize access to the world of information and to build resources for a growing University.
The Lesley University Library will provide leadership in the University community to support academic excellence through research and scholarship in the information environments of the future.
