Brevard, N.C. - Two Brevard College football players were named to the prestigious 2010 Don Hansen's NCAA Division II All-Super Region Two team, capping off a season in which the Tornados went 4-7, 1-6 in South Atlantic Conference play, winning their season finale against Mars Hill College to cap a solid two-year turnaround in the program.
Neville Bryce, a senior from Cades, S.C., was selected to the Second Team offense. Bryce finished up his Brevard playing career with a stellar senior season in which the 6-0, 220 pound fullback carried the ball 112 times for 656 yards, averaging 5.9 yards per carry. Bryce averaged 72.9 yards per game, starting seven games in the Tornados backfield, and found the end zone 11 times during the regular season, including nine in the final four games of the season, including four times against Wingate and three in the season finale against Mars Hill College. Bryce finished out his career at Brevard College as the Tornados all-time leading rusher with 1,254 yards.
Eric Watts, the 2010 All-SAC Second Team punter, was named to Don Hansen's Second Team. The junior from Powhatan, Va. led the South Atlantic Conference in punting average, averaging 42.9 yards per attempt, with a season long of 73 yards coming against Johnson C. Smith on September 18th. Watts placed 14 kicks inside the 20 yard line on the season, with five punts traveling farther than 55 yards. Watts currently possesses nine of the 10 longest punts in Brevard College history and will look to build on that next year. In addition to his duties as punter, Watts was also the Tornados top receiver in the 2010 season, catching 18 passes for 236 yards and three touchdowns, averaging 21.5 yards per catch.
Kelvin Jeter, the 2010 SAC Offensive Freshman of the Year, was named to Don Hansen's Third Team as an all-purpose player after a record-setting season with the Tornados which saw him become the first Brevard player to record over 1,000 rushing yards and 1,000 all-purpose yards in a single season, finishing his freshman campaign with 1,145 rushing yards and 1,492 all-purpose yards. Jeter also broke the Tornados longest run from scrimmage in program history with a 95-yard scamper on Sept. 25 against Southern Virginia.
The trio joins 2009 Don Hansen Regional recipients Stanley Jones, Michael Gist and Justin Jefferson as members of this prestigious award.
The Don Hansen team carries out the legacy of long-time small college football advocate Don Hansen, who passed away at age 75 on Aug. 29, 2010. Hansen, from Brookfield, Ill., started and published Don Hansen's National Weekly Football Gazette for three decades, selecting NCAA Division II All-America teams for the first time in 1988.
Don Hansen's Football Gazette began selecting Division II All-Region squads in 2003.
The first-team and second-team All-Region selections advance to a national ballot from which the 2010 Don Hansen NCAA Division II All-America Team will be named later this month.
National quarterfinalist Albany State University of the SIAC led the way with seven honorees. The University of North Alabama had six honorees, as did Tusculum College and Wingate University. National runner-up Delta State University from the GSC had five along with Carson-Newman College, Valdosta State University, and Mars Hill College.
A total of 104 players earned some form of Don Hansen All-Super Region Two honors. Players from 31 of the 33 football-playing schools in Super Region Two earned All-Region accolades.

Joanne Calderwood heads to the States to fight in her second Invicta bout, taking on K-1 specialist Livia Von Plettenburg of Team Quest.
She was originally scheduled to face Aussie Bec Hyatt, but now Hyatt is fighting for the title (despite Calderwood being offered the shot).
The undefeated Scot explains all here:
Best of luck Joanne - you can watch it on www.invictafc.com on January 5th.I have fought on a few weeks notice before, never a week against someone ranked number 4 in the world though. My coaches James [Doolan] and Paul [McVeigh] made the decision for me not to take this fight based on the difference in styles more than anything. Carla is an exceptional wrestler and has a really good top game, I've been preparing for a scrap on the feet with Bec and shutting down her guard, so they're almost polar opposites.
We brought in specific sparring partners in preparation for Bec. If they'd offered me the fight with Carla with a few weeks notice I would have taken it. If they offered me Carla as a replacement for Ashley Cummins when I fought her I would have taken it too, as style-wise theyr'e similar.

Generally the national "Librarian of the Year" is not well known outside of the library community and their home state, but this year's winner, Nancy Pearl, is the exception.
Nancy is often referred to as the "rock star of librarians"! While at Seattle Public Library, she wondered what would happen if everyone read and talked about the same book. The program was so successful that it has been offered at libraries across the country with local variations. KPL's Reading Together is our version, still going strong as we begin our 9th year.
Nancy can be heard on NPR, Weekday, where she reviews books. She also teaches library school students, does workshops for library staff around the country, presents public programs on the joys of books and reading, has written a series of Book Lust books and, most importantly, is a strong, national advocate for libraries and reading. And this is all from a woman who is "retired"!
I am especially proud that Nancy is a good friend of KPL's. She visited several years ago and did a workshop on services to readers for KPL staff and a public program, still talked about among those avid readers who attended. Her visit here prompted her to add a "warning" to her workshop for librarians – be aware – patrons may think they're read the most recent one in a mystery series but they may not have, so don't give away any secrets! Whenever I see her at conferences, we reminisce about the conversation that led to this warning!
Congratulations, Nancy, on this well deserved recognition and thanks for your efforts on behalf of all libraries and booklovers.
Nancy Pearl at Kalamazoo Public Library, January 2006

If there's a single common element to most successful data centers, it's at least one admin with a touch of OCD. At some level, obsession and compulsion are necessary to keep things running smoothly and reducing the propensity for the situation to go haywire.
It's not just about keeping a close and detail-oriented eye on the software and systems, but also paying attention to how the data center is constructed and maintained. Basically, it comes down to determining when to put a "more urgent" project on hold to rip and rework a completely different subsystem, for no other reason than it wasn't done right.
[ Also on InfoWorld: 6 things every IT person should know | When to cut bait on old IT | Get expert networking how-to advice from InfoWorld's Technology: Networking newsletter. ]
One area where this has a tendency to crop up in general-purpose data centers revolves around cabling. When the data center was built, the cabling was immaculate. It was color-coded, neatly patched, wrapped to ladder racks and top-of-rack guides, gracefully strung down the rack sides, and carefully secured to each server and switch with an aesthetic that might just qualify as art. But that was The Before Time. That might have been two or three years ago, several server generations ago, several storage arrays ago, and possibly even several admins ago.
Now, like a Roman ruin, the origins of an expertly constructed and beautifully managed data center are still visible, but mired in the slough of the intervening years. The color-coding has long been rendered meaningless, though some vestiges remain.
Where a red cable used to always signify an unsecured link, now it might be an internal management link or even storage. Cables draped along those ladder racks have been covered over with a mishmash of other wiring, some of it coiled up in various places because there were no 15-foot cables to be had. Instead, 25-foot cables were called into service, their excess length gathered into haphazard rings and ziptied together so that no human may trace them ever again.
But this isn't the case in all data centers. Some have the benefit of being highly fixed-purpose, where the equipment turnover is low, and upgrades usually involve a forklift. If every rack has and will always have 40 servers, you can probably reuse the original cabling without much fuss. But in data centers with high turnover of heterogeneous equipment, it can be a real challenge to maintain coherency in the face of a revolving door of gear, all with different needs.
In those spaces, it's not uncommon to see bundles of cables hanging unattached within racks, yanked out during a refit or emergency, and left to dangle for months or years until someone asks where they go. Sadly, nobody really knows anymore.
In other racks, there might be a collection of links heading into smaller switches run so tightly that the switches can't be removed from the rack without removing the cabling as well. When one of those switches goes bad, it becomes a much more tedious task to replace it.

Without fail, a lot of work gets done in the final day or two of the Utah Legislature. This year, lawmakers made a broad step toward an independent investigation into Attorney General John Swallow.
It's a good move, given Swallow's alleged violations hiding his business holdings, associations and paychecks and a peculiar statute that said the attorney general's office had the power to investigate the attorney general.
The sour smell of that got state Sen. Peter Knudson to draft a bill that would provide a special counsel to investigate purported violations of the Election Code and conflicts of interest. Final passage came late Thursday, the last day of the session, and went into effect immediately.
The legislation also could affect Lt. Gov. Greg Bell, who is alleged to have tried to influence the outcome of a child abuse investigation on behalf of someone he knew personally.
The Alliance for a Better Utah, a watchdog and advocacy organization, got things rolling earlier this month when it filed a complaint with the lieutenant governor's office requesting an investigation into Swallow's possible violations of election laws. Those purported violations, of course, involved businessman Jeremy Johnson, now under federal indictment for multiple counts of fraud, money laundering and conspiracy.
Swallow allegedly concealed his interest in P-Solutions, which got $23,500 in payments for consulting work he said he did on a Nevada cement project for Johnson associate Richard Rawle. That money came from funds Johnson, founder of I-Works, paid to Rawle.
No form of government is immune from quiet deals, discreet handshakes and closed-door decisions. Republican legislators routinely hold private caucuses, which has caused serious angst among observers eager to see the process in action. Democrats, on the other hand, hold open caucuses.
But democracy requires transparency. We see that in the open debates in committees and on the Senate and House floors, and that's good. It's all the less-formal encounters that make watchdogs and average Utahns who pay attention to state politics uneasy about what trades and accommodations are being made, and why and with whom.
When I was a legislative reporter, the worst times came when lawmakers mysteriously left the floor or dodged into side rooms or, quite often, the restrooms.
What were they thinking in there? What deals were being made? And when would the rest of us know?
There's little that's more boring than sitting on an uncomfortable bench in the hall and waiting for some word, even some subtle indication, of what was cooking that day and when it would come out in the open.
Sure, some conversations must be quiet. There are subtle deals and promises and compromises to be made.
But when it comes to officeholders like Swallow, who are elected by the people, every ounce of information must be on the table and in conflict-of-interest disclosures available to everyone.
In fairness, most legislators, council members, executive officeholders and anyone else who's hired by the people do share their applicable records.
The old saw remains true: Sunshine really is the best disinfectant.

LONG BEACH - Pushing her young child in a stroller, an expectant Sandra Milicev braved the crowds Thursday and waited in line to get race-car drivers' autographs for the biggest race fan she knows.
Her father, Perica Milicev.
"We're fans, but my dad is the biggest fan and he couldn't be here," said the Long Beach resident, who was there with mom, Eva.
"They're all cool and really, really nice," she said, showing a large poster filled with signatures addressed to Agisa, her father's racing nickname. "We grew up around racing. My dad raced motorcycles. We love it."
The race fans were among thousands to turn out for Tecate Thunder Thursday on Pine Avenue, presented by the Downtown Long Beach Associates and the Grand Prix Association of Long Beach. The event offered attendees a taste of what's to come.
The city's largest event of the year, the three-day Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, begins today. It features six races all weekend, including Formula D Drifting, the Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race and the IZOD IndyCar Series.
Downtown's main street, Pine Avenue, was packed with spectators who craned their necks to watch motorcycles leap and pivot in the air and professional pit-stop competitors demonstrate their skills. Fans got to check out race cars on display and score some drivers' autographs.
Spectators of all ages - from toddlers sitting on their parents' shoulders to seniors in wheelchairs - filled the patios of Pine Avenue restaurants to watch the spectacle.
Long Beach resident Lois Thomas took her two grandchildren, Deira, 10, and Dedrick, 7, to Thunder Thursday to get autographs from the drivers.
"I promised my grandchildren I would bring them out to this event," she said.
Holding a racing poster covered in autographs that was almost as tall as him, Dedrick added: "It was good!"
Grand Prix Association CEO and President Jim Michaelian said he was pleased with the turnout, which he estimated at 7,000 to 8,000 people.
"We see this and the Roar at Belmont Shore as great promotional tools leading up to the weekend's activities, and so far they've more than lived up to its promise," Michaelian said.
Thunder Thursday continued well into the night with the Tecate Miss Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach Pageant, featuring more than a dozen contestants hoping to represent the Grand Prix in race weekend festivities and various Southern California civic events, including car shows and parades.
In the end, Stephani Costanza, 24, a Burbank-based special effects makeup artist, bested 17 other contestants for the crown. Adriana Davalos and Kristina Morrison were first- and second-runner up, respectively.
Want to go to the Grand Prix? Tickets are still available at gplb.com or on the toll-free ticket hotline, 888-82-SPEED (827-7333).

Carving your own stamps from household erasers is much easier than you might think. It's a slightly more sophisticated take on the classic classroom art of potato-stamping. But unlike potatoes (which are a lot trickier to cut smoothly in half than most children's craft books will admit) erasers offer a completely flat surface which is perfect for creating stamped impressions. You can use them to carve all sorts of designs, from simple solid shapes to more detailed pictures, words and line-drawings. The fact that erasers – without wanting to cast even more aspersions on les spuds - won't shrivel up and start to rot after a day or two means your stamps will last much longer, too.
Tools of the trade
:: Large, flat plain erasers
:: A fine marker pen or sharp pencil
:: A craft knife
:: Inkpads or acrylic paint
:: A surface to stamp on (e.g. paper, card or fabric)
Step by step
1. Decide on a simple design and draw it on the surface of your eraser with a pencil or fine marker pen. (If you're not confident drawing freehand or just want some extra inspiration, try printing out clip-art shapes or images from a picture font.)
2. Using a craft knife, carefully cut around the outline. Don't cut right through the full depth of the eraser – a few millimetres is enough.
3. Make smaller cuts going out to the edges of the eraser to divide the negative space of the design into smaller sections.
4. Now, working from the side edges, begin to slice horizontally across the eraser towards the edges of your shape. Lift out each section of negative space as you cut.
5. hen you've finished, your design should be raised above the remaining part of the eraser. Don't worry if the cut-away pieces around the edges look messy – as long as your design has a good, smooth outline, it will stamp perfectly.
6. Tap an inkpad over the surface of the shape and then press down firmly onto a piece of paper or card.
7. Add any extra details (entirely optional) with a fine marker or sharp pencil.
8. Turn your stamped impression into anything you like - with a few scraps of patterned paper, this one became a tiny collage.
Shaped erasers are a quick and super-easy alternative to carving your own. There are all sorts of cute designs available, and you can stamp with them just as you would with a hand-carved version.
Once you get a little more confident at carving your own designs, you might want to try adding more detail. To do this, you'll ideally need to invest in a lino-cutting tool. I found mine at a local art shop for just a few pounds, but a quick Google search gives you plenty of online options, too.
Using the finest tip on the tool, it's quite simple to trace over the outline of a drawing to create something like this:
You can also combine the idea with your shaped stamp designs.
NB. Don't forget words will appear as a mirror image when you stamp. To avoid a carving disaster, write them onto plain paper first, flip it over and then trace onto the surface of your eraser.
You can also use the lino-cutter to carve away the inner parts of a design (i.e. areas you wouldn't be able to trim with a craft knife), again creating a slightly more complicated image.
Adding several stamped shapes together, you can build up different types of pictures and scenes.
And, as with the house collage before, you can use them to make finished projects, like this fun birthday card.
Obviously, craft knives are very sharp, and the same is true of lino-cutting tools. If you're not happy for your children to use them, it doesn't mean they can't enjoy an activity like this – you'll just need to work on it together. They can draw out the shapes and designs, you can take care of the tricky cutting and carving part, and they can take over again when it comes to creating inky impressions with the finished stamps.

it ,as you can say its step by step .
can someone please tech me or just give me a start how to use rainbow
tables iam downloading now the "33g" tables . so i need to know how can i
use them in cracking . i will be thanks if step by step given .
thanks for any help .
am sorry my friend , but i searched alot without luck , i cant find step by step guide and am not expert .
thanks .
hi, I'm not sure what exactly your are looking for, but using rainbow tables for aircrack-ng input is straight forward like using john and traditional passwords,
or using cpyrit to get all the lovely CUDA stuff.

Heavy Periods 2 years after birth
Hi all
From when they started when I was 12 I had horrendous periods. They were so heavy I would have to set an alarm and get up during the night to change my pad. In my twenties A gyno recommended I go on the pill and this certainly made a difference.
Later when attempting to conceive I went off the pill and braced myself for the worst. But the worst never came. I continued to have normal periods even without the pill... and I was off it for almost two years.
Falling pregnancy I had my beautiful daughter and went along merrily breastfeeding and having no periods. My daughter was 14 or 15 months old when I got my first, post-birth period. I was not braced for the worst... I should have been!
Since then, every month I am transported back to the horror of my youth... debilitating periods which cause PMS for a week prior, heavy bleeding that lasts a week and makes going anywhere or doing anything difficult, and period pain and headaches which sometimes reduce me to tears.
I work from home and, with no desire to tell the companies I work for what is going on, two weeks out of four weeks I face dissatisfaction when work does not get done. I am also single so there is no one else to assist with children, household tasks and so on. I have no option but to fight through it.
Has anyone else experienced a relapse of this sort after a pregnancy? Does anyone have any suggestions. The obvious is to go to a doctor but I really don't want to be put back on the pill and after a traumatic birth experience I have developed an even greater aversion to doctors than I had before!

Hello Mumof2IVFmiracles,
I'm so sorry that your periods are so difficult for you. But there is good news. You can reverse this naturally and live a life without period pain, headaches, mood swings, depression, fatigue, swelling, heavy bleeding and everything else that goes along with hormonal imbalance.
The fact that you responded well to the pill says that the female hormones the pill put into your body (even in the synthetic form) helped to balance you. The fact that the pill can have some major side effects later in life is something to be concerned about. Results of population studies show the risks of breast, cervical and liver cancer appear to be increased. So best to avoid synthetic hormones, and balance the body through nutrition, exercise and adopting a healthy lifestyle.
Limiting exposure to toxins is important. No smoking, no alcohol and no drugs is a great start (I'm assuming you already avoid these things). Choosing organic foods grown without pesticides or herbicides is another healthy choice when you can afford it and when it's available. Limiting exposure to toxins will take stress off of your liver. The liver supports hormone production so we want to be sure the liver isn't overloaded.
I'd have to say that one of the fastest and best ways to reverse PMS is by juicing raw fruits and vegetables, including deep green leafy vegetables like spinach, kale or swiss chard. Kale is my all time favorite green to juice because of it's high chlorophyll and high calcium content. It naturally detoxifies the liver while feeding the body high amounts of nutrition.
Juice fasting is amazing for the body and will offer the fastest results. If you want to live life without headaches, cramping, heavy bleeding and bloating, and you want lots of good energy and focus/concentration (no foggy brain) this is the way to go. Please note that the first 3-5 days of a juice fast can be difficult, because your body is dumping a lot of toxins into your system. But after that, you will feel GREAT!
Here's a video that has lots of helpful information on how to avoid cramps and PMS. She gives a list of what NOT to eat before or during your period, and she gives a list of foods that help avoid cramps. She also offers a great smoothie recipe to help relieve cramps. Definitely worth watching!
You eat this way 3 days before your cycle, and then take the smoothie once a day throughout the month (one smoothie every day). But I would highly recommend that you do a juice fast first, and then, once you are back to eating foods (not drinking them) you can adopt her suggestion for foods to avoid, and foods to eat around the time of your cycle. Personally, I try to drink a green drink every day, and I feel the best when I do this. I usually just juice apples and kale for my juice, but you can get more creative.
Here's the video... Enjoy and let me know if you learn anything or if you have any questions.

text: When you start talking ab out sex like Jada Pinkett Smith talks about sex then you know your marriage is in trouble. At this point Nick and Mariah must be feeling the heat about their marriage so they throw out a few family photos of the couple together during Christmas. None during the non-holiday season though. Huh. Now Nick is telling the world that he and Mariah must be strong as a couple because they have lots of sex. Yeah, once someone in the relationship starts telling the rest of the world how much sex they are having as a couple the relationship is doomed. I just think Nick can't bear to let people know he doesn't really have very much sex with his wife so wants people to think he is tough and a stud. It's why he said in the same breath that he is proud that his son loves to fight other people. Yeah, that is a trait that is sure to help him succeed.

NCAA Football Youth Day on July 28
Friday, July 16, 2010
On Wednesday, July 28, youth football players from New Orleans and the surrounding areas are invited to attend a free half-day clinic led by coaches and student-athletes at Harrell Stadium. The clinic is hosted by the Allstate Sugar Bowl and R&L Carriers New Orleans Bowl in partnership with NCAA Football's Youth Initiative.
This clinic, one of 22 being held nationwide over the summer, will give participants the opportunity to meet and work with college coaches and student-athletes to complete on-field agility drills, offensive and defensive training.
"This is such a special chance for youth in our area to take part in something unique, learning from top student-athletes and collegiate coaches," said Paul Hoolahan - CEO, Allstate Sugar Bowl. "NCAA Football puts on a first class event and we're thrilled to have partnered with them over the past four years."
"We're excited to join other bowls nationwide in providing young players the unique opportunity to learn from top student-athletes and collegiate coaches," said Billy Ferrante - executive director, R&L Carriers New Orleans Bowl.
Registration will be open to the first 300 youth attendees ages 5 to 14. Those who are interested in attending the clinic or would like additional information can visit www.ncaafootballclinics.com, or call Austin Martin of the Allstate Sugar Bowl at 504-828-2440 or Jeremy Boyce of the R&L Carriers New Orleans Bowl at 504-525-5678.
"This Youth Day Clinic is an opportunity for youth football players to learn not only valuable athletic skills, but also the invaluable character-building and sportsmanship lessons from one of the area's top intercollegiate football coaches," said Bob Vecchione - chair, NCAA Football Youth Initiatives Committee. "We are proud to be bringing this event to New Orleans and hope the young men and women who participate in the clinic incorporate the lessons into their daily lives."
NCAA Football's Youth Initiative is a $1.5 million, three year investment that began in New Orleans in 2007.

Get comfortable
If you have made arrangements ahead of time to interview a particular person, try to do it in a quiet setting where there will be little or no interruptions. If you will be tape recording your subject, make sure ahead of time that your recorder is in prime working order (batteries, settings, etc.) and set it close enough to pick up all the dialog, especially if you have a quiet speaking interviewee. Talk about general topics if you will be taking notes, to get them comfortable with the interview setting. Speak slowly and clearly. Tell your subject that you will give them a break when they need one.
Begin with the basics
Depending on what you might already know about your subject's name and birth dates, you can skip that information and focus on other questions that might give you more background information.
Some questions to ask:
- Where were you born? (City, state, country)
- Were you born at home, or in a hospital or nursing home?
- Do you know what time of day you were born?
- Was there a world event that took place the same day? (End of a war, weather event, etc.)
- Were there other siblings? (This could lead to a long answer, so maybe save it to ask in a separate session.)
- Where do you fall in birth order?
- Did your parents both work? What were their professions?
- What do you know about your mother's/father's ancestors? (City, state, country)
- Are there any celebrities in your family tree?
- Why did they come to the United States from that country?
- Did they bring any family traditions with them?
- What important lessons did you learn from your (Mother, father, grandparents, etc.)
- Who were the best story tellers in your family?
- What will you always remember about them?
- Were you taught any special skills? (Cooking, carpentry, sewing, fishing, hunting, etc.)
- What were the things you did as a child, teen, and adult that have given you the most pleasure?
- Were you ever in any accidents?
- What were the newest discoveries during the time you were growing up?
- How has the world changed since you were a child?
- In what way was the world better then?
- What was your favorite subject in school?
- What did you like to do after school?
- Did you ride a bike to school, a bus, or walk? Or, were you taken to school by car?
- Did you get good grades?
- What was the extent of your formal education?
- Is there anything that you would like to tell me about that you feel I should know?
Don't expect to get all of your questions answered in one sitting. Take this list with you and highlight the most important things you want to know. If your subject is willing to answer more questions, then go back and ask your secondary questions.
Depending on your relationship with the subject, keep in mind that your questions could bring up sad or angry memories. If they do, either move on,change the subject or end the interview. This should be a fun exercise, not something unpleasant. Happy interviewing! 🙂

Wow! This isn't good ;(
The reason it's full of malware is because android doesn't have the approval needed like apple does right? And then anyone can upload anything
I'm still waiting for him
Who or what is F-Secure & how many phones were tested? Since I have never heard of them.
Also its not google fault that carriers are so fecking dum they keep selling old handsets, like Virgin media they sell the Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus with Gingerbread & there under the assumption Samsung are actively supporting this device lmao. Straight from the horses mouth they said they have no plans to update that device past gingerbread.
As currently there is an issue with the keyboard not imputing keystrokes when pressed & its a software issue & were fighting with Virgin to get rid of this fecking phone.

Justin Bieber fires back in 'Hollywood Reporter'
Listen to Justin Bieber on iHeartRadio
Justin Bieber and his managerScooter Braun open up about the superstar's controversies, struggles, mentors and influences in a wide-ranging cover interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
In his first extensive sit-down interview in nine months, The Biebs fires back at his haters.
"I don't give a f***," he tells the magazine.
Bieber elaborates, "Not 'I don't give a f—' to just be reckless and do whatever, but 'I don't give a f— what they say.'"
He adds, "I know who I am and what I'm doing in my life and what I've accomplished and continue to accomplish as a performer, as a writer, as an artist, as a person, as a human being. I'm happy with the man I'm becoming."
Braun expands on how Bieber and his team are choosing to ignore the flurry of negative stories that come with the intense scrutiny under which the singer lives.
"The rumors were coming so fast and furious that we couldn't address all of them," he tells the outlet. "Say whatever the f— you want. Justin's not going to go crazy. He's not going to end up in rehab. He's not going to end up a statistic. Nine months ago, they said he lost his mind — he hasn't missed a show since. So we're just going to shut up."
Bieber knows that controversy sells, and that he is going to be used.
"When people see a negative thing about me on a magazine, they're gonna buy it," says the star. "Every time some site writes something bad, all my followers go on there, and it brings them more traffic. Now they have all the Beliebers on their site, which gives them money from advertisers."
Bieber laments, "They're just worried about money. They don't care about ruining someone's name."
"I think his moments of anger come from his resentment towards the ridicule [and] of being judged for things, which a lot of times he hasn't even done," says Braun.
The manager notes, "He's the only person in humanity who's grown up the way he has — with smartphones and cameras on him 24/7. Another kid can go out and have a good night on the town, and no one gives a crap, but Justin is the most Googled person on the planet — for four years straight!"

PHOTOS: Nicki Minaj tries a new look for 'Senial' video
Listen to Nicki Minaj on iHeartRadio
Nicki Minaj was busy this weekend (after her vacation in Mexico) filming the "Senial" video with Lil Wayne. While we're used to seeing Nicki in very bold looks, this look was certainly very interesting.
The former American Idol judge rocked a Moschino bralette and underwear with a bandana and a "Thug Life"-inspired Barbie tattoo. She looked adorable in her Chucks and black Dickies. She rocked the stereotypical dark lip liner and winged eye liner and excessive gold jewelry which looked very 90's.
We're excited to see the video. Even for Nicki, this look was very interesting!

Meadow Creek open for holiday traffic, but closures to come
July 1, 2013
For the July Fourth weekend, foresters are working to accommodate holiday vacationers at Meadow Creek Road.
Meadow Creek is popular for camping, hiking, fishing and cycling, but it's also threatened by falling trees killed by the mountain pine beetle. The U.S. Forest Service Sulphur Ranger District, which manages Meadow Creek and other popular recreation areas within the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests, is aggressively working to create safer trails and campground by removing hazardous trees.
As pines are felled, skidded, processed and transported to mills, traffic along Meadow Creek Road has been delayed up to 30 minutes.
But over the holiday weekend, work will be suspended on July 3, beginning at noon. The area will remain open to camping and recreation until 6 p.m. on July 7.
On Monday, July 8, Meadow Creek Road will close to all traffic and recreational use while workers complete remaining hazardous tree removal.
"Hopefully most of the holiday campers will be gone by then anyway," said Reid Armstrong, public affairs specialist for the Sulphur Ranger District.
The district does not have an estimated date for reopening at this time.

Baked Pasta with Tomato, Cream, and Five Cheeses
This classic dish from George Germon and Johanne Killeen's Al Forno restaurant in Providence, Rhode Island, is a favorite among their patrons.

- 1/4 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, (1 1/2 ounces)
- 2 tablespoons ricotta cheese
- 6 fresh basil leaves, coarsely chopped

OSullivan7 JAN, 2011This tasted good, but some of the flavor was a little too subtle for my liking. I was looking for a bit stronger flavor. I am thinking of trying to add sliced pieces of chicken to it to see how it will work.Reply
BarbaraClift6 JAN, 2009I used marinara sauce in place of pureed tomatoes. It added to the great taste.Reply

DANIEL BARENBOIM IS LAUNCHING HIS OWN YOUTUBE CHANNELA decisive step on the part of a conductor keen to use the world of digital technology to inspire a love of classical music in young people
Three initial formats will offer an insight into the world of the musician: Deconstructed, Barenboim Explores and 5 Minutes On
As one of the leading conductors and pianists of our age Daniel Barenboim is well known for his ability to challenge his listeners into taking an intense interest in music. He is now pursuing this approach for the first time with a number of formats specially developed for the audio-≠‐visual field: with his own YouTube channel, which goes online in August 2016 and which will be freely available throughout the whole world. With its extensive opportunities for networking and its direct exchange of information, the video portal, which is used by more than one thousand million people worldwide, provides the optimal platform for Barenboim, allowing him to do justice to his aim of ensuring that music is permanently anchored in every area of our social lives. The channel is especially aimed at an audience with little background knowledge of classical music and is intended to provide a forum where they can develop a love of it.
Daniel Barenboim uses his YouTube channel to pursue his aim of forging a link between classical music and digital communication. As a result special video formats have been developed and produced for YouTube, and will be further developed from the date of the channelís launch. In the case of both 5 Minutes On and Deconstructed, Barenboim will explore works and basic musical terms, explaining them at the piano. In this way even viewers with no previous knowledge of classical music will profit from his lifelong engagement with the subject. At the same time viewers will find inspiration and discover new facets of the works that he discusses.
In the case of Barenboim Explores, Barenboim will discuss current political, cultural and social events similar to the blogs on his website, sharing his thoughts and ideas with his viewers and encouraging them to join in a dialogue with him, to share their views and to give him their feedback. Currently in the planned stage is a series of conversations in which Barenboim will meet figures from public life, whether politicians, artists, sportsmen and -≠‐women or architects, and talk to them about the Parallels and Paradoxes that they see between music and their own thematic fields. In a fifth format, The West-≠‐Eastern Divan Orchestra, Daniel Barenboim will introduce his Arab-≠‐Israeli orchestra and its members.
Daniel Barenboimís YouTube channel has been designed to the highest standards. With it the conductor sets out to pass on his love and knowledge of music and at the same time to play his part in ensuring that classical music is presented in a way appropriate to the digital age. The channel can be individually experienced and is fully integrated, interactive and challenging. As such, it is aimed at all who are curious about the world around them and who approach it with an open mind.

Redondo Beach police on Friday released a sketch of the man wanted in the stabbing a teenage boy and girl inside the South Bay Galleria as they continued to search for witnesses to the brazen attack last weekend.
Lt. Joe Hoffman pleaded for anyone who saw the stabbing about 7:20 p.m. Saturday, or anyone who remembered seeing the suspect inside the mall, to contact authorities. Investigators have not yet talked to any direct witnesses, other than the hospitalized young victims who suffered life-threatening injuries in the attack, he said.
The boy and girl, 13-year-old school friends and South Bay residents who'd watched a 3:40 p.m. showing of "Red Dawn" that day at the AMC theaters, are in stable condition and will likely remain hospitalized for another week, Hoffman said.
An artist's sketch of the suspect - compiled based on the victims' descriptions - shows a black man with a graying beard who is believed to be in his 40s. He is wearing a stocking cap and glasses, and a black shirt under a collared, fatigue-style jacket.
"From everything we've been able to determine ... this attack appears to be completely unprovoked," Hoffman told reporters Friday at Redondo Beach City Hall, where he played a mall surveillance video taken immediately after the attack, and not far from where the crime occurred. The teens were stabbed on the mall's third floor, just north of the AMC movie theaters, as they sat on a bench, police said.
In the video clip, a man who police believe is the suspect walks in dark jeans from the upper left side of the frame to the right, crossing in front of an escalator outside the movie theaters.
"One of the important things that we need to get out there is that fact that, look at all these people that are in the movie theater, in the mall," Hoffman said. "Clearly, there's a lot of people at the mall, in this area at the time that it occurred, and somebody saw this happen."
The call for witnesses is complicated by the fact that shoppers and moviegoers might not have known what happened as they walked around the busy Galleria that night or stood in line for tickets. But Hoffman said any bit of information from the public could help.
"Maybe they didn't realize this was a stabbing," Hoffman said, "but somebody definitely saw the suspect either before, during, or after this occurred and we need this person to come forward."
He said "every little bit helps. Every little piece is what is going to help us put this case together."
The brazen attack prompted Redondo Beach police, who maintain a mall presence, to call for mutual aid from three neighboring agencies. Authorities then funneled outgoing mall traffic toward three exits as they attempted to track down the suspect.
Inside, mall personnel requested help for the injured teens, who initially stood up and tried to walk toward nearby restaurants to get help. A relative of one teen was seeing a movie at the time of the incident.
Police said the victims' families have asked for privacy, and they offered limited information Friday about the boy and girl, who are both Latino.
The boy suffered six stab wounds, four on his arm, one on his chest and one on his side, Hoffman said. The girl sustained three - to her chest, clavicle area and her side.
Police said they do not know the suspect's motive, and that the victims are not believed to have any connection to him.
Redondo Beach police have asked that anyone with information about the mall attack call 310-937-6685, send a text to 310-339-2362, or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Jet Airways commenced its operations in May 1993. It is an airline that has pioneered concepts like Through-Check-in, City Check-in, Web and Kiosk check-in, SMS check-in, automated tickets at travel agency locations, e-ticketing, JetMobile and the unique five-tier frequent flier programme JetPrivilege in India.
As an Indian Corporate Body, Jet Airways also recognises its responsibility to the Society and Nation. Consequently, in 1998 Jet Airways launched its Yellow Rose campaign. People are like roses, and like the flower they require friendship, warmth and caring. Jet Airways has striven not only to extend these qualities to its guests, but also to the country in times of crises or calamities.
Shrimad Rajchandra Mission Dharampur's Love and Care programme has launched the "Expressions of Love" initiative, in conjunction with "Joy of Giving Week- India's Festival of Giving", to spread the message of love and care. Amongst several other activities organized, one of them is Mumbai Darshan - a daylong city excursion for 170 students of a rural residential school called "Shrimad Rajchandra Gurukul" located in the village of Karanjveri, Dharampur.
It was a once in a lifetime opportunity for these rural students to visit Jet Airways' aircraft maintenance hangar near the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, Santacruz. The visit to the hangar was organised by JetSpark, an exclusive initiative of the airline to connect with its young travelers, in association with Shrimad Rajchandra Love and Care to open up the world of aviation to these children.
At a half-day event held at the airline's hangar, the children were given an opportunity to explore a Boeing 737-700 aircraft parked in the hangar, spending more than three hours learning and understanding the working of the aircraft. The children were also shown the interior of the Jet Airways aircraft cockpit, the cargo hold, airline maintenance and landing gear operations. The children interacted with Jet Airways Engineers, Pilot and Cabin Crew. They also observed the landing and take off of various planes at the Airport. The children were later taken for a visit to the engine, structure, brake & wheel and seat shops, with this educational excursion by the engineers providing the children with rich insights into airline maintenance and operations.
Jet Airways, India's premier international airline will organize a blood donation camp on Friday, May 09, 2008 from 1230 hours to 1700 hours at the Jet Airways Ahmedabad City Office in association with Prathama Blood Centre. The Staff and Management of Jet Airways will participate in this noble cause.
Prathama Blood Centre, India's largest & most modern blood centre is a non-profit organization recognized by the Indian Central and Gujarat State Government, who will arrange for a mobile van to be parked at the Jet Airways' Ahmedabad City Office for the blood donation camp.
Jet Airways, has received strong support from the Travel Trade community. Mr. Kalpesh Shah (Chairman of TAAI Gujarat Chapter) has consented to be present at the blood donation camp. Blood donors will receive a tote bag, snacks and beverages, courtesy Prathama Blood Centre.
Radio City, Times of India and Ahmedabad Times are taking the initiative to impart awareness of this blood donation camp.
Commenting on this initiative, Mr. Wolfgang Prock-Schauer, CEO, Jet Airways, said, "Jet Airways is delighted in associating with this worthy cause. The airline always endeavours to be a socially responsible corporate body, and this initiative is a step in that direction."
Jet Airways launched its inflight collection programme the 'Magic Box' in association with the NGO Save the Children India (STCI) on January 7, 1997 for relief efforts in the aftermath of the earthquake in Jammu & Kashmir.
This unique inflight charity collection has contributed over Rs.42.8 million till end April 2004. This fund has been utilised in development activities in remote Kargil, improvement of education and health care facilities in quake affected Osmanabad district in Maharashtra and in the fight against trafficking of women and child prostitution in the Indian Subcontinent.
Among the notable achievements of the Magic Box of Jet Airways is SPARSH (Sastur Project of Action Research Services through Hospital), which came into being at Sastur Village in Osmanabad district in Maharashtra after the terrible earthquake there. This is being run by the funds generated through Magic Box and extends advanced medical care to the inhabitants of almost 257 villages. Jet Airways' inflight collection has contributed significantly in running of the SPARSH, which makes available integrated, preventive, curative and rehabilitative health services to the earthquake victims of Latur and Sastur villages in Osmanabad District.
Jet Airways, carried more than 2,000 kilograms of relief material including blankets, milk powder and clothes for the use of affected people of Kaksar village in Ladakh, one of the worst affected regions on the border of the State of Jammu and Kashmir during the Kargil conflict. Kaksar along with the villages of Latur and Hunderma have been adopted by Save the Children programme under the activity titled K3 (Kaksar-Kargil-Kashmir) programme to rehabilitate the affected populace.
Other significant projects run by Save the Children, include pre-schools for the urban slum children in Mumbai and a special care centre for the mentally retarded and hearing impaired. Another unique project of Save the Children is to respond and build confidence among pregnant women who are HIV positive with a view to decreasing the infant mortality rate.
As a continuing effort through February and March 2001 all contributions by passengers to Jet Airways' unique inflight Magic Box collection were directed through Save the Children organisation to the benefit of children rendered homeless and orphaned by the Gujarat quake.
The trail of death and destruction that the Tsunami Disaster left across South and South East Asia on December 26, 2004 is unparalleled in the annals of modern world history. In India, Tamil Nadu, Pondicherry, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala and the Andaman & Nicobar Islands, which bore the brunt of the killer waves, thousands have died and still many others have been uprooted from homes and livelihood.
In the immediate aftermath of the tragedy Jet Airways has operated special relief flights to Port Blair from Chennai and Kolkata to enable speedy evacuation of stranded residents and tourists.
In addition to the ongoing relief efforts, to enable evacuation of the needy residents of the Andaman & Nicobar Islands to the mainland, Jet Airways offered a 50 per cent rebate on 30 seats in the Economy Class of its daily flight from Port Blair to Chennai.
Over 1,600 stranded residents and tourists on the Islands were evacuated from Port Blair on the 18 flights, which Jet Airways operated from Port Blair to Chennai and Kolkata from December 26 until December 31, 2004.
Additionally, Jet Airways is uplifting 2,500 kilos of relief cargo everyday, comprising of packaged water, clothing material, foodstuffs and medical supplies for urgent despatch to Port Blair and Colombo in Sri Lanka from Chennai. Over 140,000 kilos of relief cargo sent by Governmental agencies and recognised voluntary agencies in different parts of India have already been flown to the Tsunami-ravaged archipelago and the Island Nation of Sri Lanka.
Jet Airways waived cancellation charges for tickets issued for travel on Chennai-Port Blair-Chennai and Chennai-Colombo-Chennai sectors. Tickets issued separately on domestic sectors in conjunction with onward journey on these routes were also entitled to this benefit.
Jet Airways has contributed Rs.50 lakhs to the Prime Minister's Relief Fund for rehabilitation of the Tsunami victims of India. The Airline has also made a contribution of USD 55,000 for similar efforts in the Island Nation of Sri Lanka to the President's Relief Fund.Additionally, approximately 7,000 employees of Jet Airways have contributed one day's salary for relief efforts of the Tsunami victims of the coastal areas of India.
The January 2001 earthquake in Gujarat was a catastrophe of enormous proportions. The devastation besides leaving thousands dead or injured also uprooted many. Jet Airways set up 750 temporary shelters for over 700 families of Ramvav village in Rapar Taluka of Kutch district in the quake-devastated Gujarat as part of a massive rehabilitation programme.
This ambitious relief and rehabilitation effort was undertaken with active support from the French aircraft manufacturer Avions de Transport Regionale (ATR) and the NGO Nivara Hakk Suraksha Samiti (NHSS), which has vast experience in social organisation and housing.
Jet Airways and ATR together committed nearly Rs.5 million for this project.
Ramvav, located 350 km north-west to the State capital Ahmedabad and a further 115 km from Bhuj Airport, has a total population 5,000 consisting of Ahire, Jadeja, Rabari, Harijan, Kholi, Pawa, Wagri and Darbari communities. The severely affected village reported over 50 calamities during the January 26 earthquake.
A joint team comprising of experts from Jet Airways and NHSS toured several villages in the state in the immediate aftermath of the quake before finally deciding on Ramvav - a remote village along the Rann of Kutch - for rehabilitation.
Subsequently, a detailed social survey was organised to establish a close relationship with the quake-affected populace as well as to involve its participation in the project.
Nearly 50 volunteers from Mumbai worked together with the villagers for ten weeks to set up temporary, quake-resistant accommodation for Ramvav and tented hostels for staff and students of three schools in the nearby Nilpar, also in Kutch district.
Ramvav was a part of Jet Airways' commitment to enhance relief efforts in beleaguered Gujarat since January 27, 2001 when it became the first private airline to land in ravaged Bhuj the very next day after the devastating earthquake with doctors, paramedics, and medical and relief supplies. A Crisis Coordination Committee headed by Jet Airways Vice President, Support Services was constituted in the wake of one of post-independent India's unprecedented calamities to monitor operation of special flights.
The 15-ft X 10-ft tents set up to provide accommodation to the quake affected people, comprised of a pre-fabricated steel structure that could be assembled in a matter of an hour and a half. The roofing was double layered with the inner layer made of bamboo mats and the top covered with mud-coated tarpaulin. This combination provided insulation against the extreme temperatures of the Kutch region. A door was provided in the front part with provision for ventilation in the rear.
Well-known Indian architect P.K. Das designed the tents, with active involvement of Mumbai based Council of Architecture. The cost of each tent, including transportation and installation, was Rs.6,500.
Fabricated in Mumbai and Ahmedabad, the tents were designed so that they did not require a change of canvas for two years. Designed to provide shelter till the villagers were able to reconstruct their homes, these tents will also serve as emergency shelters during any future calamity. In brief, this also constituted building up of a bank of emergency shelters in a region prone to cyclones and earthquakes. Jet Airways, therefore, considered this as an investment for the future too. Alternatively the tents can also be used as storage or cattle sheds once the villagers have moved to their reconstructed homes.
Between January 27 and February 4, 2001 the airline, apart from the daily Mumbai-Bhuj-Mumbai flights, operated seven additional flights to facilitate transportation of relatives of victims and representatives from relief organisations to reach Bhuj, and also carried over 60 tonnes of relief cargo including foodstuffs, blankets, medicines and rescue equipment. All flights operated with a full complement of passengers and cargo.
Jet Airways cargo offices through its route network were instructed to accept all relief material from recognised governmental and non-governmental agencies for urgent despatch to Gujarat. The relatives of the victims carried relief material and no excess baggage was charged towards the same.
Also, the over 4,000 employees of Jet Airways voluntarily contributed a days' salary for the month of February 2001 for rehabilitation of Gujarat victims.
Jet Airways launched its inflight collection programme the 'Magic Box' in association with the NGO Save the Children India (STCI) on January 7, 1997.
This unique inflight charity collection has contributed, over Rs. 65,84,668 till end-June 2006. This fund has been utilised in development activities in remote Kargil, improvement of education and health care facilities in quake affected Osmanabad district in Maharashtra and in the fight against trafficking of women and child prostitution in the Indian Subcontinent.
Jet Airways has engaged the services of Shraddha Charitable Trust - a registered NGO who train and provide post school vocation to their mentally challenged and autistic young wards.
The airline has chosen and placed bulk orders for one of the Trust's in-house products - a napkin cords made of jute, exclusively for their Première Class service on their long-haul international flights to London on board the Airbus 340-300 E aircraft.
While being eco-friendly, the fabrication of this Napkin Cord entails100% involvement of both high and low performing students. Jet Airways is proud to be associated with Shraddha, and to be able to showcase and support the skills of these special children.
Proceeds from sales of these products form a stipend for their special employees. This helps to generate a sense of fulfillment and self reliance for these children.
Special employees are taught to master simple skills like pasting, folding, assembling, e.t.c. These skills are then applied by these special employees to create eco-friendly innovative products made from jute, bamboo, dried leaves e.t.c. and are sold through NGO fairs and exhibitions.
Since inception, Jet Airways has been participating in community building and lending support to various NGOs, as part of an on-going programme of Corporate Social Responsibility.
Jet Airways launched its in-flight collection programme the 'Magic Box' in association with the NGO Save the Children India on January 7, 1997. This fund-raising programme for Save the Children India is unique to Jet Airways, and is implemented on all its flights in the airline's domestic network, thereby allowing its guests to participate in this noble cause.
Guests can contribute onboard through Cash / Cheque or Credit Card in the Save the Children India envelope placed in the seat pocket or could request the crew for the same and put it in the Magic box brought around by our Cabin Crew. Jet Airways does not take any responsibility towards issuing receipt. The receipt will be provided by Save the Children India if the contact details are mentioned on the envelope.
Save the Children, include pre-schools for the urban slum children in Mumbai and a special care centre for the intellectually impaired and speech and hearing impaired. Another unique project of Save the Children is to respond and build confidence among pregnant women who are HIV positive with a view to decreasing the infant mortality rate.
For further information kindly contact Save the Children India - +91 22 2652 0601 / 04.
Every year, Jet Airways, together with various NGOs organises one or two "Flights of Fantasy" for the underprivileged children. Under this unique initiative, children belonging to underprivileged sections of Society are initiated into the world of aviation through special dream flights. Together with NGOs, corporate partners are also involved. Jet Airways has conducted several such flights at Mumbai and Chennai.
With effect from July 2005, Jet Airways commenced operating military charters for the Indian Army to transport troops to Thoise to facilitate the travel of military personnel stationed in Siachen.
On January 15, 2006, a team of 30 Jet Airways employees participated in the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon 2006 to raise funds for the children of 'Magic Bus' an NGO, that uses sports to change the lives of the city's most at-risk children. As an Indian operator, Jet Airways would be proud to be of service to the country in any other manner if necessary.

Whereas, the current dossier guidelines and forms are dated, unnecessarily complex and bureaucratic for the candidates and reviewing bodies,
Whereas, the current process is also wasteful and cumbersome producing huge stacks of multiple copies of large folders that must be securely transported and stored,
Whereas a review of the dossier process that included interviews with key stakeholders as well as two focus groups of faculty who had recently submitted dossiers produced no evidence that the dated format and submission process adds anything in terms of quality or value,
Whereas the 2007-08 University of Hawai'i at Mānoa Faculty Senate has passed a series of resolutions supporting the effort to streamline, simplify, and codify existing guidelines and forms to make for a more efficient submission and review process with the ultimate goal of a secure, paperless submission process,
Whereas, the result of these changes has been the following:
- Dossiers can now be doubled sided and placed in binders rather than folders with metal fasteners
- The statement of endeavors now has a suggested page length
- The application forms for tenure and promotion are now form fillable
Whereas, the new University of Hawai'i at Mānoa Faculty Senate emphasis on brevity and simplicity of dossier application and review led the Dossier Simplification Committee of the UHMFS to make the following changes to current guidelines:
- The dossiers will no longer require applicants to employ awkward pagination requirements (e.g. 4.1, 4.2), which is difficult for many applicants.
- The dossiers will no longer require an applicant's name on every page, which makes submission of supplemental material time-consuming.
- The new guidelines specifically recommend that applicants submit only relevant materials instead of extensive submissions.
- The new guidelines encourage use of existing UHM forms (e.g. CAFÉ summaries, UHM course and program proposals).
Therefore be it resolved that the following Supporting Materials and Compiling the Dossier descriptions substitute for current language in the Criteria and Guidelines for Faculty Tenure/Promotion Application beginning Fall 2009:
B. Supporting materials in the Dossier. Appropriate supporting materials depend on your faculty classification. Faculty in the Instructional classification must submit documented evidence of teaching accomplishments, as outlined below.
1. Appendix A: Teaching. If you are in the Instructional classification, you must have documented evidence of your teaching ability and of your contributions to the curriculum.
- Teaching ability is usually documented by means of teaching evaluations. Quantitative teaching evaluations should be compiled in tables, supplemented by comments when available. Qualitative teaching evaluations should specify whether the lists include all or selected comments. For tenure, you should report all available course evaluations. For promotion, you should report a representative sample of all of the courses you have taught in recent years.
- You are encouraged to include any awards or citations for excellence in teaching.
c) Contributions to the curriculum may be documented by UHM curriculum forms. You may also want to include a few sample letters from students or peers regarding teaching innovations.
2. Appendix B: Scholarly Activity.
For both Instructional and Research faculty, a bibliography or other objective record of scholarly work is essential. Section a (below) gives the format you should use in compiling your bibliography. Faculty in fields such as the fine arts may substitute a list of shows, performances, etc., in lieu of a bibliography. Professional reviews of your work by peers not associated with UH Mānoa are important and should be included if available.
a. Your bibliography provides an invaluable objective record of your scholarly activity. The format which should be used is as follows:
1) Separate your published works, conference presentations and manuscripts into appropriate groupings. The following categories may be adapted to your discipline. Additional categories may be created as necessary.
• Books of original scholarship–author/co-author
• Chapters in books
• Edited volumes
• Textbooks
• Articles in international or national refereed journals
• Articles in other periodicals
• Unpublished work, accepted for publication (with documentation: submitted, conditionally accepted, in press, etc.)
• Internal reports and other unpublished work
• Invited conference presentations
• Refereed conference contributions
• Departmental seminars
• Published abstracts
• Other scholarly products (such as major software, video or film)
• Grants (indicate funded, approved but not funded, submitted but not approved, etc.)
2) Within each category, list your works in order of publication or completion, with the most recent works first. Make a clear division between work published or completed since your last promotion at UHM (or initial hire if you have not previously been promoted) and earlier work.
3) For each item, give complete citation. An entry for a published article, for example, should include all the authors as listed in order by the journal, complete title, volume, year, and pagination. On-line publications should include the Web address.
4) Make a clear distinction between works for which you were an author and those for which you were an editor.
5) For all jointly authored and edited works, you must estimate the percent of your contributions.
6) Faculty in disciplines such as the fine arts, music, drama, etc., should provide a complete listing of exhibitions, performances or other appropriate presentations of their creative work. A clear division should be made between presentations since your last promotion (or initial hire if you have not previously been promoted here) and earlier ones. Complete information as to the nature of each presentation, place, dates, etc., should be provided.
b. You should include letters of acceptance for publications in press.
c. Peer evaluations of contributions. You should include relevant external reviews of your published work or creative productions. These include published reviews, grant reviewers' comments, letters to the editor, readers' comments of manuscripts submitted for publication and unsolicited letters from peers in response to publication of your work. Inclusion of testimonials that do not provide specific substantive support may detract from the effectiveness of your presentation.
3. Appendix C: Service
Faculty whose job descriptions include Service should list University, Professional and Community Service and may include a few carefully selected letters of recognition.
a. University service. Academic service activities may include (but are not limited to): participation in faculty governance by membership in standing and ad hoc organizations, committees and task forces at the university, college/school, and department/unit levels.
b. Professional service. You should include activities related to service to your discipline and professional organizations. Professional service activities may include (but are not limited to): serving as an officer in a professional organization, editing a professional publication, organizing conferences/workshops, creating discipline-related instructional models and resource materials for use in K-12 education, etc.
c. Community service. Public service that is related to your profession is considered a positive factor in reviewing faculty for promotion. Still, for Instructional and Research faculty, the lack of professional public service accomplishments (unlike University service) is not detrimental to advancement–a recognition that the opportunity for such work in some fields is quite limited. Public service is not a substitute for research and teaching achievements. It is complementary to these other types of activities for Instructional and Research faculty. While not weighted equally with research and teaching, meritorious public service activities–if linked closely to the other two areas–can have a favorable impact on tenure and promotion decisions.
C. Compiling the Dossier
· Paginating. Be sure that every page of material you submit has a page number. Labels may be used to paginate supplemental materials. Appendices can be indicated by tabs.
· Binding. Dossiers should be bound in a three-hole binder or a manila file folder.
When using a three-hole-punch binder the dossiers may be printed double-sided.
For dossiers bound in manila file folders, fasten at the left side of the page with a prong paper fastener. The margins for each appended page should be wide enough to ensure that no part of the text is obscured when the dossier is bound.
• Submitting. EIGHT COPIES SHOULD BE SUBMITTED Label the original dossier as "Original" and number it "Copy 1." Number the subsequent copies "2" through "8." Place a file label with the applicant's full name, college/unit, department, and copy number on the front of each three hole binder or manila file folder tab. Confidential letters in their own manila envelopes should be included in the dossiers (but not attached) by the Department Chair.
D. Supporting Materials Box
Candidates should prepare a box for materials that document their accomplishments as presented in the dossier.
Section A: Teaching:
(1) Actual course evaluation forms in folders by course/semester
(2) Unsolicited letters from students and peers about teaching innovations
(3) Course syllabi for each different course taught in the period under review
Section B: Scholarship: Publications, as listed in your bibliography
Section C: Service: Selected letters regarding quality of your contributions

Ballet Stars of New York perform March 20
Columbia native Sara Mearns, a principal dancer with the New York City Ballet, will be one of the featured performers at the fifth annual Ballet Stars of New York Gala Performance at 7:30 p.m. March 20 in the Koger Center for the Arts.
Mearns studied with dance professor Susan Anderson at the University of South Carolina Dance Conservatory. Mearns' brother, Keith, is a former professional dancer who is now a student at Carolina and a member of the USC Dance Company. He also will appear in the performance.
New York City Ballet dancers Wendy Whelan, Albert Evans, and Jared Angle, all of whom have appeared on the Ballet Stars stage in past years, and Daniel Ulbricht also will perform.
The USC Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Donald Portnoy, will perform the music for the ballet. USC Dance associate director Stacey Calvert, a former soloist with the New York City Ballet, will again be creative director for the gala.
"Ballet Stars is a great opportunity for Columbia dance lovers who may not have the opportunity to travel to New York to see a very special brand of world-class talent right here in our city," Calvert said.
The program will include Stars and Stripes and Mozartiana, both by choreographer George Balanchine, and Herman Schmerman Pas de Deux, by choreographer William Forsythe.
Mearns, Ulbricht, and Jared Angle will dance the solo roles in Star and Stripes, which features a cast of 35 dancers. USC dance majors Olivia Anderson and Bonnie Boiter-Jolley also will perform solo roles.
Mozartiana will feature Mearns, Angle, and Ulbricht. Four young dancers from the S.C. Dance Conservatory also will perform under the tutelage of Calvert. Herman Schmerman Pas de Deux will feature New York City Ballet principal dancers Whelan and Evans.
Mearns began her dance training at age 3 with Ann Brodie at the Calvert-Brodie School of Dance in Columbia.
"I was a little girl and my mother put me in dance classes like many moms did," Mearns said. "I loved it and just kept on going with tap, jazz, ballet, and lyrical. By age 12 I knew I was in love with dance and I told my mom that I needed to go to New York to audition for companies."
At 13, Mearns began training with Patricia McBride at Dance Place, the school of the N.C. Dance Theatre, and she continued her studies at age 14 with Stanislav Issaev at the S.C. Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities.
Mearns entered the School of American Ballet, the official school of New York City Ballet, in fall 2001. In fall 2003, she became an apprentice with the New York City Ballet. In June 2004, Mearns joined the company as a member of the corps de ballet and was promoted to the rank of soloist in March 2006. She was promoted to principal dancer in June 2008.
"Having a life in professional dance is also about the parents, and them letting go of the child," Mearns said. "My mom was a huge supporter in that."
Having accomplished former students return to dance with current students is a thrill and a goal for Anderson.
"We are all so proud to have had a hand in training Sara, who was a student at the USC Dance Conservatory and the S.C. Summer Dance Conservatory in her youth before entering the School of American Ballet, the training program for the New York City Ballet," Anderson said.
"Her career to stardom as ballerina for the New York City Ballet happened just as planned, and she became an overnight sensation," she said. "She will be the ballerina of the 21st century."
If you go...
What: Ballet Stars of NY
When: 7:30 p.m. March 20
Where: Koger Center
Tickets: Students, $15; second balcony, $25; first balcony, $30; orchestra, $35; gala tickets, $150 (includes admittance to pre-concert reception and post-concert dinner dance). For tickets, call the Koger Center box office at 7-2551. To charge by phone, call 251-2222.
