Registration and downloads for SofTest begin Monday, November 27th
SofTest registration and download site for Fall 2006 final exams opens Monday, November 27.
If you signed up to take one or more exams on computer (either a lab computer or your own laptop);
you MUST read the following information
Chicago-Kent College of Law uses a special program, SofTest, for taking exams on computers. The advantage of using the SofTest program is that it increases the stability, security, and reliability of the exam taking process. Since adopting SofTest and its predecessor programs, we have experienced very few problems with lost exams or corrupted exam files.
If you are taking an exam on computer, you will write your exam using the word processing program built into SofTest. Please read the appropriate section below, depending on whether you plan to use a lab computer or your own laptop to take the exam. If you are taking the exam on your laptop, please note that you must not only download and install the SofTest program, but must also bring certain necessary hardware components to the exam.
CONTINUING FOR Fall '06: If you are taking an exam on a computer lab desktop PC, you MUST log in with the user name "labexam". SofTest will not work on Lab PC's if you log in as yourself.
Although the program is simple to use, please spend a few minutes reviewing the SofTest help file that is located on the network. The help file is located at: Z:\FallExams\HelpFile\SofTest.hlp. Just double click the file to begin viewing. You may also use SofTest to run a practice exam from any lab computer during the exam period (go to Start, Programs, SofTest; then click on the "Practice Exam" button on the lower edge of the SofTest window). Just as on exam day, you will have to log into the Lab PC's as "labexam" in order to take the practice test. Please contact the CLC Help Desk for the password.
Use of Mac computers is not supported for exams. This is true regardless of the software or hardware configuration of the Mac. Use of wireless network connections is also not supported during exams. All network connections for exams should be "hard-wired" with a standard Ethernet network cable.
In order to take exams on your own laptop, you will have to download the SofTest software from the web. THE ENTIRE DOWNLOAD/INSTALLATION PROCESS MUST BE COMPLETED WHILE YOU ARE LOGGED IN TO THE CHICAGO-KENT NETWORK WITH YOUR C-K USER NAME!
· On this web page (http://www.examsoft.com/chicagokentlaw), click on the "Exam Takers" tab at the bottom of the page, and the click the "New User Signup" button. A new registration is required each semester. ExamSoft web site options for "returning users" are not applicable to Chicago-Kent.
· On the following page, fill in the required information, select "Personal Computer," and then acknowledge the license agreement.
· Click the "Download & Install" button and follow the directions. Reboot your computer as required.
· Click "Yes" if you are prompted to retake the qualification exam.
This version of SofTest is new as of October, 2006. If you have a previous version already installed on your computer, you MUST uninstall the old version, and download and install the new version. Do not choose any upgrade options. See further information below.
Provided below is some important information about downloading and installing the software. The process is somewhat time-consuming, so please do not wait until the last minute. If you have any problems or questions, contact the Help Desk (Room 540; e-mail: HELPDESK; phone: 906-5300).
Please note that you MUST come to the exam with the SofTest program properly installed and configured. This includes fully completing the "registration and qualification" process on ExamSoft's web site. Additionally, you should bring the following hardware components with you:
(1) a power cord
(2) a network card
(3) a network cable
(4) a floppy disk drive (if owned, see end of message for details)
If you do not have the software properly installed, or are missing any necessary equipment, you will be required to hand write your exam.
Important Information about Downloading and Installing SofTest:
* In order to guarantee that SofTest will function properly on your computer, ExamSoft has implemented a software registration and qualification procedure as part of the SofTest download. YOU MUST COMPLETE THE ENTIRE REGISTRATION/ QUALIFICATION PROCESS OR THE SOFTWARE WILL NOT FUNCTION ON EXAM DAY! You have not completed the process until you see "Registration: Complete" under the "SofTest Status" section of the program's first screen. Please read on for details.
* You should remove any prior versions of SofTest or other ExamSoft software from your computer before trying to install the new version. To do this, click on the Windows "Start" button ->"Settings" -> "Control Panel" -> "Add/Remove Programs," find "SofTest" and then follow the directions to uninstall it. Reboot your computer after you perform this task.
* The process for obtaining and installing SofTest requires a number of steps to be performed online at ExamSoft's web site located at http://www.examsoft.com/chicagokentlaw. We recommend that you download and print out the instructions for this procedure as well as ExamSoft's list of frequently asked questions (FAQ's) at http://www.examsoft.com/faq before you begin.
* To download the program, you will be required to provide a "Student ID". In the "Student ID" field, please enter the five-digit exam number previously e-mailed to you by the Registrar's Office. This will be your Student ID number throughout the exams on computer testing process.
* YOU MUST COMPLETE THE ENTIRE DOWNLOAD/INSTALLATION PROCESS WHILE YOU ARE LOGGED IN TO THE CHICAGO-KENT NETWORK WITH YOUR C-K USER NAME! There are two reasons for this. First, your Chicago-Kent network account must have full permissions to do anything on your laptop. The easiest way to check that this is the case is to complete the entire download and installation process (including registration and qualification) while you are logged in to the Chicago-Kent network. Second, you must be able to access the file server drives on the Chicago-Kent network. If you can not properly log in to the Chicago-Kent network, you will not be able to open your exam files.
* Due to the requirement of accessing shared network drives, Windows XP Home Edition will not function for taking an exam on your laptop at Chicago-Kent.
* Due to the above mentioned permissions requirements, you can not borrow a laptop from a fellow student to take your exams.
* Chicago-Kent does NOT support any form of wireless networking for exams on computer.
* All students are encouraged to use provided floppy disks as a means of backup during exams on computer. If you will be taking an exam on your laptop, and it is not currently equipped with a floppy drive, it is up to you to decide if the additional floppy disk backup warrants the purchase of an external floppy disk drive. Any exams taken on computer lab PC's will be expected to have a floppy disk backup.
The Center for Law and Computers has a limited supply of laptop computers reserved for use in emergency situations that arise during exam period. Please contact Dean Sowle if you register to take an exam on a laptop, and your laptop suffers unexpected problems that cannot be remedied before your exam.
The CLC's laptops also may be used (subject to availability) if your computer has problems immediately before or during an exam, as long as the problem is not due to your failing to properly configure or register your laptop to run the SofTest program. Students who have not properly configured or registered SofTest on their computers will be given bluebooks and will write their final exams.
Because of limited supply, the CLC's laptops are not available for general loaning purposes during exam period, including to students who do not own a laptop or are Mac users. However, if you have exceptional circumstances that you believe justify borrowing a laptop for an exam, please contact Dean Sowle.
You will receive a final registration confirmation by email containing your student ID, password, institution, and registration number if you completed the SofTest registration process successfully. If you do not receive the confirmation email, please stop by room 540 or call the Help Desk (312) 906-5300 for further assistance.

Print Accounting System on Kentnet
Information on Print/Copy System
On July 20, 2006 the Chicago-Kent Center for Law and Computers in cooperation with the Downtown Campus Library has implemented a system for managing the law school computer lab printing and library photocopying services. There are two significant changes to the new system:
The system will utilize centrally stored accounts that are linked to your photo ID card. All students will have a "cash account" into which personal funds may be deposited for use with library photocopiers or law school computer lab printers.
Law school students will have an additional "printing account" which will be reset to the equivalent of 400 pages of printing at the start of each semester. The print release stations in the law school computer labs will allow you to choose which account each of your print jobs is charged against.
All students enrolled in classes which utilize IIT Downtown Campus facilities (Chicago-Kent College of Law, Stuart Graduate School of Business, Masters of Public Administration) must obtain a new photo ID card in order to utilize library photocopying services and/or law school computer lab printing services. In order to pickup your new photo ID cards, please go the Registrar's office on the 2nd floor during normal business hours.
When you are finished adding value, press the 'Buy Card / Logout' button.

CLC Policies - Students are required to show C-K photo ID card for loaner computer equipment
Help Desk Policy! The CLC has
implemented a procedure that requires all students to present
their Chicago-Kent ID card for service..
The CLC Help Desk does provide the service of temporarily
loaning laptops to students. This service is restricted to
those who have purchased their own laptop and the laptop has
been serviced by a technician at the CLC Help
Desk. Once the technician has
determined that the laptop needs to be sent to the
manufacturer for repairs or is inoperable a student will be
loaned a laptop. The laptop loans are for a one (1) week
period only. In addition, the CLC Help Desk does not loan power adaptors or any other laptop
accessories for laptops. In order for this service to
benefit everyone, this policy must be strictly adhered to.
Once a user returns a laptop, that same user cannot have
another laptop loaned to him/her for at least two (2)
consecutive weeks.
The Help Desk will make a photocopy of student's ID when
loaner computer equipment is requested. The procedure was implemented
to best serve the needs of all Chicago-Kent student's.
We appreciate your cooperation in adhering to this policy.

Windows Update
It is critical to update your Windows operating system and Internet Explorer software regularly. Just as it is important to update the virus definitions of your antivirus software, it is equally important to update the Windows operating system and Internet Explorer software on your computer. Just like virus definitions, Windows and Internet Explorer should be updated weekly. Fortunately, Microsoft makes this process fast and easy with their "Windows Update" web site.
Please click on the link listed below under instructions to print out the full documentation on how to update windows.
Remove Unnecessary Files on the Network
The Center for Law and Computers provides access to the
Network for Chicago-Kent students, faculty, and staff in
support of the educational mission of the university. In
recent months we have noticed an increase in the amount of
personal storage space being consumed on our network. As we
continue to maintain and scan the network drives we are
noticing numerous occurrences of non-educational types of
materials (i.e., MP3, .wav, .mov, .avi). We understand that
there are occasions when storing these types of files on the
network for educational use is legitimate.
As you may well be aware, court decisions
potentially makes us liable if members of our community engage
in infringing activity. As a reminder to all students, a
portion of the IIT Computer Use Policy states, "Network users
must abide by the terms of all software licensing agreements
and copyright laws, and may not make copies of or make
available on the network copyrighted material, unless
permitted by a license. Network users must not perform acts
which are deliberately wasteful of computing resources or
which unfairly monopolize resources to the exclusion of
others..." The complete Computer User Policy can be found at:
When you save and store large music, image, video, or other
types of non-educational related material on the network it
increases the time it takes for system backups and virus
scanning; the large downloads also consume unnecessary
bandwidth. Please be considerate of
your colleagues and remove or transfer to your laptop ALL
files in violation. If files are not removed, the
Center for Law and Computers is authorized by the
administration to permanently remove them for you.
We ask that you purge all unnecessary messages and files as
often as possible from your network and email accounts to help
us preserve space on the C-K server. As a reminder, in Outlook
mail, you must delete messages from your "Deleted Messages"
folder for them to be permanently removed from the mail
server. It is also a good maintenance procedure to delete any
unneeded messages in the "Sent" folder.
CLC Monthly Network
Maintenance Schedule
The Center for Law and Computers will conduct regular
monthly maintenance windows on the first Tuesday of every
month (5a.m. - 7a.m. in the morning) for "Patch and\or Update"
management on systems that need to be rebooted.
Remember too that there may be "emergency" times when
manufacturers release "critical" update patches that need to
be installed immediately. The CLC will make every attempt to
send out an announcement in advance when the "critical"
updates need to be installed and systems rebooted (however, we
cannot always guarantee advance notice since certain
patches/updates need to be applied ASAP before a breach is
All network services including Internet access, email,
webmail, network drives, and network printing will be down
during the above scheduled time.
Maintenance will be conducted on the following
Tuesday, January 9, 2007

There's some pretty sweet color pictures of the Earth taken from the surface of the moon.
Well, dear, the moon is white/grey. And usually, when it is colorful from our land view, unfortunately, it's because of nasty air quality.
NEW ACCOUNT: galaxiias
Because before Piccolo blew up the moon, it originally had a blue tint to it as shown here:
So he could change into a monkey, Vegeta created a new, artifical moon. Since he hastily made it in the heat of the moment or whatever, he decided to make it gray and black. That's why the moon is this way and we unfortunately, have no photos of the blue tinted moon we previously had.
Currently watching: (various)
After I land on the moon I will tag the surface with graffiti, after that all images of it will be in full color.
. . . and furthermore . . .
He's just trolling
I can't even comment on this thread. All my hope has been lost.
I wish for the day that Hikaru no Go is added to CR.
Giantsgiants wrote:
So, why don't we have color pictures of the moon already? It's 2013.
I suspect this is a troll thread, but it's amusing and just in case someone really doesn't get it. Below is a photo of an "earth rise" shot while in orbit around the moon. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthrise]
Taken by Apollo 8 crewmember Bill Anders on December 24, 1968, showing the Earth seemingly rising above the lunar surface. Note that this phenomenon is only visible from someone in orbit around the Moon. Because of the Moon's synchronous rotation about the Earth (i.e., the same side of the Moon is always facing the Earth), no Earthrise can be observed by a stationary observer on the surface of the Moon.
Ok...so, from the photograph, the Earth is clearly in color which would mean the surface of the moon is also "in color" (e.g., same photograph). Could it have been enhanced and the color added later? It could have, but it wasn't. They took color film with them.
Week of Aug. 8, 1968
NASA releases color photographs from the first moon landing, while scientists pore over moon rocks with microscopes, spectroscopes and radiation counters.
Here, we see a shot from the moon. It's a color image. Which means, the moon's surface is also in color. Was it enhanced? No. Again, they took color film with them. Yes, it's the late 60s. Yes, they transmitted black & white video signals of them walking around, golfing, and driving their "buggy", but they also took color film that they then developed when returning to earth. Since they didn't have to worry about "beaming" back every photo back to earth.
BTW... there are 12 Hasselblad cameras on the moon that were left behind between 1969 and 1972. They left them so that they could bring back moon rocks instead.
So, there you have it. Now if you toss on the fact that the moon appears "white" most of the time and it's matted against space which appears "mostly black" most of the time, you have a bunch of color moon pictures that look "black & white". But don't forget the harvest moon. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvest_Moon]
Often, the Harvest Moon seems to be bigger or brighter or more colorful than other full moons. The warm color of the Moon shortly after it rises is caused by light from the Moon passing through a greater amount of atmospheric particles than when the moon is overhead.
The atmosphere preferentially scatters the bluish component of moonlight, which is really reflected white light from the sun, while allowing more of the reddish component of the light to pass though to one's eyes. Hence all celestial bodies look reddish when they are low in the sky.
I am a cage in search of a bird.
Have you ever seen the moon in the sky? If you haven't, I suggest you go take a look...

Cross-posted at Highly Allochthonous
Communities along the Minnesota-North Dakota border are watching the water levels, listening to the weather forecasts, and preparing for another season of flooding. It must be a disconcertingly familiar routine, as this will be the third year in a row in which the Red River of the North reaches major flooding levels. But this isn't merely a run of bad luck for residents in the Red River Valley, major floods are to be expected in a place with an unfortunate combination of extremely low relief and a river at the whim of snowmelt and ice jams.
The Red River of the North begins in Minnesota, near the border with North and South Dakota, and it flows northward through Fargo/Moorhead, Grand Forks, and Winnipeg before emptying into Lake Winnipeg, Manitoba. The landscape around the Red River is excruciatingly flat (Figure 1), for the Red River Valley isn't a stream-formed feature at all, but is the remnant landscape of Glacial Lake Agassiz, which held meltwaters from the Laurentide Ice Sheet for more than 5000 years. The modern Red River has barely managed to incise into this flat, flat surface, because it slopes only very gently to the north (~17 cm/km). Instead, the river tightly meanders across the old lake bed, slowly carrying its water to the north. Topographically, this is a pretty bad setting for a flood, because floodwaters spread out over large areas and take a long time to drain away.
The climate of the Red River watershed makes it prone to flooding during the spring, usually peaking in about mid-April. The area receives about 1 m of snow between October and May, and the river freezes over. In late March to early April, the temperatures generally rise above freezing, triggering the start of snowmelt. Temperatures warm soonest in the southern, upstream end of the watershed and they get above freezing the latest near the mouth of the river. This means that snowmelt drains into the river's upper reaches while downstream the river is still frozen, impeding flow (Figure 2). As the ice goes out, jams can temporarily occur and dam or back up the river, exacerbating local flooding problems.
Together the topography and climate of the Red River watershed are a recipe for large-scale flooding, and the historical record shows that floods are a frequent occurrence on the river. Usually, hydrologists talk about rivers in terms of their flow, or discharge, which is the volume of water per second that passes a point. But, when talking about floods like those on the Red River, it's not so much volume that matters as how high the water rises ("stage"). The National Weather Service is responsible for flood prediction in the US, and they define flood stage as "the stage at which overflow of the natural streambanks begins to cause damage in the reach in which the elevation is measured." If the water level continues to rise, "moderate flooding" occurs when "some inundation of structures and roads near streams. Some evacuations of people and/or transfer of property to higher elevations are necessary." Further increases in water levels can bring a river to "major flooding", when "extensive inundation of structures and roads. Significant evacuations of people and/or transfer of property to higher elevations." That's the sort of flooding that will happen in places along the Red River this spring, as it has many springs in the historical record (Figure 3).
Already, flood warnings are being issued for the Red River and its tributaries. As I'll discuss in my next post, the long-range forecast for this spring's floods on the Red is looking pretty grim. But as the communities along the river brace for the on-coming flood, it is important to remember that the geology and climate of the region make repeated major floods inevitable.

"The Golden Rollin Hills of California"
These images were created by first making pencil drawings of the hills and then scanning the drawings into a computer. Most of these drawings were done while sitting in conference lectures during Nov. 94 through Nov. 95. It's rather conforting to scetch while listening to talks. I always seem to retain much more that way and enjoy it.

US pulls out of Tunisia event during Iran speech
TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) — The U.S. delegation to the ceremony celebrating Tunisia's new constitution walked out during remarks from the speaker of Iran's parliament.
While congratulating Tunisia on its constitution, Ali Larijani slammed the U.S. and Israel for working against Arab Spring revolutions and called the Jewish state a "cancerous tumor" in the region.
The U.S. statement said its delegation departed because Larijani's remarks were "false accusations and inappropriate comments."
The event was celebrating Tunisia's post-revolutionary constitution, seen as one of the most progressive in the region and featured French President Francois Hollande.
The remarks by Larijani, a hardliner, come as relations between U.S. and Iran have shown modest signs of improvement.

Consensus Report
Review of NOAA Working Group Report on Maintaining the Continuation of Long-Term Satellite Total Irradiance Observations (2013)Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate
Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review; while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy. Learn more on our expert consensus reports.
Since 1978, space-borne instruments have provided scientists with an unbroken data record on Total Solar Irradiance (TSI)--the input of solar energy to the climate system. This long-term record is critical for resolving ongoing debates regarding the potential role of solar variability in influencing Earth's climate. However, the continuity of the data is at risk. One set of TSI data collection instruments is now well beyond its design life and suffering from battery degradation problems, and a mission to launch a new instrument package on the JPSS FF-1 is not scheduled until late 2016 or early 2017. Meanwhile NASA's Glory spacecraft, which would have carried instruments to help avoid a data gap, failed to reach orbit on March 4, 2011.
In early 2013, a NOAA Working Group developed a plan that describes how the agency could mitigate the data gap by including a TSI collection instrument on an upcoming Air Force spacecraft launch. This report reviews that plan, finding that the proposed solution is not optimal in a scientific sense, given that in the best case scenario there is only a 50 percent likelihood of the proposed gap-filling mission being able to extend longer than its 1.5 year timeframe and collect data for 4 years, and thus overlap with the launch of the new instrumentation planned for late 2016 to early 2017. However, with the lack of other options or a dedicated climate observing system, the solution can be considered optimal within the constraints present. The committee also notes that similar issues with many of the approximately 50 other essential climate variables can be expected in the future.
Key Messages
- The NOAA Working Group plan faithfully followed the scientific content of two studies conducted by Greg Kopp and Judith Lean for NOAA. The solution presented was a creative, rapid, and low-cost response that exploited the availability of an existing engineering instrument model, and heritage in engineering, mission architecture, and data analysis.
- To ensure continuity of the TSI data record, the proposed mission will need to overlap with both data collected using current methods, and those collected using the new instrument package scheduled for launch in 2016 or 2017. The Committee concluded that the plan is unable to ensure the integrity of the data record because as presented it is a 1.5 year plan to fill a 3+ year gap. However, the NOAA plan focused on the shorter, more accurate data record that began with the current collection instrument. The Committee found that the plan is more likely to ensure the integrity of the longer, but less accurate, data record that began in 1978.
- Taken together, the NOAA Plan and the Kopp and Lean studies provided a balanced discussion of strengths and weakness of the proposed method to fill the TSI gap and recognized fully the limitations of proposed mission.
- The Committee considers that the NOAA Working Group plan, to an appreciable extent, explored the implications of loss of, or changes in, TSI measurements on the understanding of Earth's climate system and processes.

It's easy to get lost in the shuffle of the expansive Toy Fair - unless your product is stop-in-your-tracks, jaw-droppingly gorgeous like the newly unveiled Emerson House dollhouse by Brinca Dada.
We had a chat with company co-founder Doug Rollins who is a big believer in "beautiful fun" - toys should be beautiful, but not museum pieces and should be played with and enjoyed by children and parents alike.
Emerson House is Brinca Dada's debut product and was designed by co-founder Tim Boyle who happily brings his talent as an architect to design on a smaller scale. Inspired by Richard Neutra's famed Kaufmann Desert House, Emerson is also bathed in natural light and features wide open spaces (which is especially useful for little hands to play in).
The Emerson House's description reads like a Times real estate ad we would drool over: the modern house features many extras including mitered-glass corners, two fireplaces, sliding glass doors, solar panels, and recessed LED lights. Now that's an Open House we'd attend!
The Emerson will be ready for sale in a few months and at $299 will be an investment piece, but certainly not unreachable. What else does Brinca Dada have in store? More dollhouse designs, furniture and, of course, dolls! Find out more at their website and we'll be sure to check back in with them now that they're on our "ones to watch" radar.

As most sectors of the state's economy have throttled back, St. Petersburg College and many of Florida's other community colleges have roared ahead, adding new programs and welcoming hundreds of additional students, many of whom had been turned away from other state institutions.
"Rather than shrink from the challenges that faced us, we decided to take an opposite approach and provide additional students with the programs and training they need to get good jobs and be part of the inevitable recovery," said Tom Furlong, SPC's Interim President. " History tells us that community colleges are one of the best sources out there for education that leads directly to jobs. SPC and other similar schools are great values as well as shortcuts to success."
In his State of the Union speech this week, President Barack Obama urged the Senate to pass legislation that will "revitalize our community colleges, which are a career pathway to the children of so many working families." Read this section from President Obama's 2010 State of the Union Address.
Steep economic downturns create great opportunities for community college education, Furlong said. Resources may tighten, but community colleges offer high-quality education for comparatively little money, and graduates often walk right into jobs that offer pay and benefits that far exceed their previous employment.
"One reason for this is the close relationships that community colleges tend to have to business leaders in their home areas," Furlong noted. "If an area needs nurses or bankers or technicians, the local community college usually can turn on a dime, respond to that need, and develop programs that can start serving students almost immediately."
Florida's community colleges served more than 845,000 students in 2009, up 9.6 percent from 2008. Enrollments for 2010 are expected to be even higher. As of this week, St. Petersburg College enrollment for the Spring 2010 term is up 14 percent.
Community College Week's annual Top 100 report, conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics, said Florida community colleges were among the top in the nation last year when it came to awarding associate degrees.
Will N. Holcombe, Chancellor of The Florida College System, said Florida's community colleges are determined to keep their doors open to students in spite of ever-tightening budgets.
"Often times, entry into our system is the first opportunity for students to achieve higher education," he said, "and I'm proud of the work our institutions have done to provide a quality education to a diverse student body during tough economic times."
One reason for the expanding role of community colleges is the steep enrollment increase among veterans. A new GI bill provides more than $62 billion in education benefits across the country, and vets with three years of active service can receive full tuition and fees, a monthly housing allowance, and $1,000 a year for books and supplies. The legislation has contributed to a 76 percent increase in veteran enrollment at Florida colleges.
"Think back to the post-World War II days, when thousands of returning veterans enrolled in colleges across the country and then took the lead in rebuilding the American economy in a way that had never been seen before," Furlong said. "We have a similar opportunity now, and it is very exciting to consider the role that SPC and other similar institutions can play in that."
St. Petersburg College began offering bachelor's degrees in 2002, initially offering programs in nursing, education and technology management. Today, the college offers 22 bachelor's programs and adds new ones every year. Among similar schools statewide, 16 new bachelor's programs were created at seven colleges last year. Another 19 new programs at nine Florida colleges have been proposed for this year.
"For more and more students of all ages, SPC and other community colleges are where higher education begins, and higher education means better jobs and enhanced income," Furlong said. "We understand the role that we play in a stronger future economy, and we're excited about the challenge we face."

BRUNSWICK – Told her sixth-ranked Bowdoin College field hockey team looked
very business-like in Wednesday's 6-1 dismantling of SUNY-New Platz in the first round of the NCAA Division III tournament, captain Cathleen Smith had a simple response.
"That's good," said Smith, who had scored the fourth goal and created the fifth in a five-goal-in-21-minute spree in the first half.
"Because we take each game we play – especially now that we're in the NCAAs – like it is a job," Smith added. "It is our job to get out there and play our game and take our skill to the team that we're playing."
With SUNY-New Platz (16-5) dispatched from its first-ever NCAA tournament, the next team to face Bowdoin's combination of skill, speed and championship aspirations – the Polar Bears won national championships in 2007, 2008 and 2010 – will be the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. That game will be played Saturday at William Smith College in Geneva, N.Y.
Bowdoin (15-3) is 15-1 in its last 16 NCAA tourney games and has now won 32 straight at Ryan Field. Its losses this year have been one-goal setbacks to NESCAC rivals No. 1 Middlebury and Tufts (14-2), who are also in the tournament.
Tufts will be in Geneva with Bowdoin.
In last weekend's NESCAC tournament, Bowdoin beat Tufts in the semifinal then lost in penalty strokes to Middlebury in the title game.

Designers who are learning how to code and want to extend their BIM workflow.
Many projects, much return! Corgan has made a large investment in Collaboration for Revit cloud service and BIM 360 Team and Fusion Team (formerly A360 Team)-and it's paid off! Many of the firm's partners are working together to simultaneously access data while maintaining firm individuality and capitalizing on connections to their corporate infrastructure. This proposal will discuss Corgan's use of BIM 360 Team and Fusion Team and Collaboration for Revit on many projects, including Los Angeles International Airport's Midfield Satellite Concourse, work at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, multiple data-center projects, and smaller corporate office building renovations-with a focus on staff management, model management, and consultant management. We'll cover why we chose BIM 360 Team and Fusion Team and Collaboration for Revit, how we set up BIM 360 Team and Fusion Team and Collaboration for Revit, how we structure the models in the cloud, how to execute large and small projects in the cloud, and what the benefits are of multiple-office collaboration.
The BIM 360 products provide project teams with a range of options for project collaboration that differ from the traditional ways of conducting business and can intimidate new users. This class will focus on the development and advantages of a collaborative learning exercise between industry partners and academic institutions, with the goal of exposing students to real-world collaborative experiences they will face as they begin their careers in the architecture, engineering, construction, and owner-operated (AECO) industry. Learn how industry partners have the opportunity to push the boundaries of their BIM 360 utilization in a no-risk environment, while affording new employees valuable experience. Academics Nathan Blinn and Dr. Raymond Issa-with David Epps, director of construction technology for Winter Construction-will share their experiences with BIM 360 software, while providing a customizable blueprint for the development of your own BIM 360 learning exercise, complete with lessons learned and learning objectives.
This class will present the automated process used to perform structural assessments for water infrastructure projects. Historically, manned inspection was the means for data collection; for example, rappelling down a dam taking photos, notes, and sketches. In remote assessment process, high-definition images are collected with small drones combined with terrestrial LIDAR (light detection and ranging) scanning. Drones offer an ideal solution because often these facilities (such as dams) are isolated but have aerial visibility. The reality capture of the structure-instead of individual images-provides a useful tool for assessment. The collected data can be transformed into 3D models utilizing AutoCAD Civil 3D software or Revit software-models which are also shareable with the remote team on the BIM 360 platform. The data can be used to monitor structure performance by taking several surveys over time. Use of a systematic approach for the survey improves the delivery quality and schedule. This tool empowers stakeholders to make informed decisions on critical structures.
Have you ever had a dream, idea, or passion to inspire change in your organization? Innovation and hackathons seem to be all the rage these days-they're all over the Internet as ways to transform your business. This industry talk will discuss how a stodgy Midwestern EPCM (engineering, procurement, and construction management) organization took the leap of faith with a first hackathon in 2014, going on to make the hackathon an annual event. Additionally, we'll review how we launched an innovation platform for every employee to participate in ideation, project definition, business development, and execution stages throughout the entire year, and how this program is now launching into regular hackathon sessions at each office in the organization. We will also discuss innovation tools and practices, including Adobe's Kickbox Canvas, Autodesk's LUMIAMI, and Wild/World analyzer.
This class is for anyone who is currently using Building Information Modeling (BIM) or intends to utilize it on large-scale projects in the future. This will be immensely helpful, inspirational, and thought provoking for owners and all stakeholders to make the best utilization of BIM on large-scale projects.
Tired of waiting for the architect or the structural engineer to send you the last updated model so you can continue your work? The waiting time is over-and it's called Collaboration for Revit cloud service. This session will demonstrate how architects, engineers, and contractors have been using the cloud to communicate and collaborate in designing and currently building Norway's biggest shopping center. Using collaboration for Revit software, BIM 360 Team software, and the Forge platform to view 3D models, it has been possible to identify and solve problems more quickly than in a traditional design process. Workflows, tips, and tricks will be essential in this lecture.
When a progressive health-care client challenged an integrated project delivery team to look for opportunities to enhance collaboration and meet stringent deadlines on a new hospital project in California, the team started investigating several options to enhance coordination among the different teams' model files. After reviewing the available alternatives, and after careful consideration, the team finally selected Collaboration for Revit cloud service. Collaboration for Revit exceeded the expectations of the team members who were not only co-located at a trailer, but were also dispersed in several offices-including overseas. The team was able to work efficiently without restrictions on firewalls, which also enabled for unique workflows between the design and construction teams. In this class, we'll go over this success story while reviewing the key features of Collaboration for Revit, the selection process, setup, tips/tricks, and known limitations. Additionally, we'll look at how BIM 360 software and Collaboration for Revit were used to enhance change management.
Collaboration is the key to project success. Waste and inefficiency is expected in the transition of information from design team to trade partners. In this class, we'll share our experience of moving the fabrication drawings left into the design phase using a unified workflow on a traditional design-build project. With this workflow, we minimize the waste in transition and create a more efficient and leaner process. We'll identify the advantages of a unified workflow in the design phase and how it benefits the project team and the owner. We'll also review the process and software used to achieve this collaboration-we used Collaboration for Revit cloud service and BIM 360 Team software as the collaboration platform for the project, in conjunction with BIM 360 Glue software for coordination and design review during the construction document phase. We'll share our feedback and lessons learned, along with any tips and work-arounds to help with the use of Collaboration for Revit and BIM 360 Team and Fusion Team (formerly A360 Team) for interdisciplinary collaboration.
This class will showcase the Piedmont Atlanta Hospital Marcus Tower expansion and the all-in virtual design involvement on this project. We'll explain how to utilize models and BIM Team/C4R for Revit's cloud-based products and services for multiple aspects of the project, including the involvement in preconstruction for marketing, estimating, and self-perform opportunities; the integration of drone flights and parametric, in-house crane models for site logistics and safety planning; virtual reality for headwall mock-ups; and structural review. We'll complete the discussion with lessons learned for workflow, full-team integration, and training for the all-in approach.
With the goal of providing the best patient care at lowest cost, Mercy (one of the top five U.S. health systems) selected our Team for Project Delivery. Coupled with traditional A/E Design, we are also in charge of developing and managing VDC workflows aimed at shortening the Schedule, reducing Cost, and optimizing Turn-over. We developed Enhanced Integration (EI), aiming to connect the entire Lifecycle.

In addition to managing VDC workflows, EI also includes Asset Data Management, targeting an IWMS (Integrated Workplace Management System) implementation. With more than 2,000 employees across all Mercy support departments using the unified platform, the projected operational savings are staggering.

EI has evolved over 3 years and 8 projects totaling more than $500 Million in Construction. This class will focus on best practices for delivering complex healthcare projects and showcase BIM360 Team and Collaboration for Revit as the main tools for connecting the entire Project Team.
Work sharing is commonly known by Revit users and is critical when it comes to collaborative design. Obviously, with collaboration comes communication. The more dispersed teams are, the more important efficient communication becomes. In this session, we'll discuss how the next-gen Revit work sharing can help teams to understand design changes, no matter where team members are. We'll not only look at how designers update their team members about changes, but also how these changes are communicated to external stakeholders in a controlled way and how we can visualize these design changes in 3D. Finally, we'll explain how you can collect feedback from non-Revit users, and how you can create deliverables using Dynamo software. The core of this process is BIM 360 software, which we'll also briefly discuss.
Following a 12-year planning period, HOK was commissioned with the design of the Salt Lake City International Airport in Utah, considered one of the largest aviation projects under construction in the United States. In 2017, the airport launched a new 740,000-square-foot concourse expansion to the ongoing project, bringing the total area to 2.3 million square feet, with a total construction cost to $2.8 billion. This provided HOK with the opportunity to realign its BIM Execution Plan with a brand-new set of design technologies supporting big data, including A360 Collaboration for Revit cloud service, FormIt 360 software, Dynamo Studio software, Revizto, and Enscape. Learn how HOK re-evaluated, strategized, and adopted new technologies to enhance the collaborative design process; and hear what hurdles and opportunities appear when the cloud is pushed to the limits by projects of colossal dimensions.

Snacking Could Be The Future Of Eating
Consumer time and health push snack foods to the forefront for many packaged-food companies.
Facing stagnant growth in their base grocery business, packaged-food companies are increasingly turning to snacks as an avenue for growth, reports Dow Jones Newswire.
It's no longer about inventing the next big meal idea, but about coming up with the next big snack for time-impaired consumers, who are looking for healthier and flavorful options.
"Nearly 60 percent of snack launches recorded by Innova Market Insights in 2011 had a health positioning of some kind," says Lu Ann Williams, research manager for Innova Market Insights (www.innovadatabase.com), Duiven, The Netherlands. "This is mainly with regard to passive benefits, such as whole-grain, organic, gluten-free or low and light. To a much lesser degree [we see] active benefits, such as vitamin- and mineral-fortification, levels of omega 3 fatty acids or bone health."
"Snacking is a long-term trend and the future of eating," said Gary Stibel, chief executive of New England Consulting Group (www.necg.net), Westport, Conn., which advises clients such as PepsiCo's Frito-Lay, the largest salty-snack player in the world. "You and I will continue to snack more and sit down to a meal less."
It's as if our social-media habits are going right to our stomachs, reports USA Today. In fact, analysts and food companies project enough growth in the $560 billion global snacks market, according to Euromonitor Inc., for most packaged food companies to bite into snacks for a healthier bottom line. Frito-Lay and Kraft Foods Inc. have long enjoyed hearty market shares in snacks. Frito-Lay is adding more premium- and lower-priced chips to its portfolio to capitalize on more growth in those price ranges, while Kraft, will separate its North American grocery business from its more-global snacks division, to pursue growth in emerging markets. After all, snack habits are more similar among countries than are meals.
Less expensive than meal options, snacks offer the convenience consumers seek, prices can be raised more quickly and easily than staple pantry products, and since they are often unplanned purchases, buyers are willing to grab them and go to satisfy their immediate snack craving.
As American consumers increasing snack more throughout the day, a number of packaged-food companies are dipping into the snack bowl. Kellogg Co.'s pending $2.7 billion acquisition of Procter & Gamble's Pringles brand will vault the cereal maker to No. 2 among salty/savory global snack makers. Also on the acquisition track, General Mills recently added Food Should Taste Good Inc., which makes tortilla chips (with flavors like sweet potato and chocolate) to its portfolio. ConAgra Foods will introduce pre-popped Orville Reddenbacher's popcorn in ready-to-eat bags plus a frozen Greek yogurt in June to be marketed as a healthy snack rather than a dessert.
Aside from unique flavor options, snacks are also being developed for consumers looking for healthier options of their favorite munchie. "Consumers are clearly telling us that they are watching what they eat and they want those healthy snack choices or options," says Mark Singleton, vice president of marketing and sales at Rudolph Foods (www.rudolphfoods.com), Lima, Ohio. Pork rinds are low-fat and low-carb.
"We are seeing high levels of consumer interest due to the basic nature of the snack – in a world where food brands are one-upping each other with more technology and more benefits, pork rinds are refreshingly simple."
Some recent Rudolph Foods introductions follow that "simple" philosophy. The company recently launched Cajun cheese popcorn under its Southern Recipe brand in response to consumer trends focusing on healthier, yet flavorful snacks. "Additionally, we debuted a pork stick with a natural smoky flavor in a few varieties to give consumers another tasty snack to satisfy their hunger," he says.

Singleton says perhaps the two top goals are "exploring ways to simplify our ingredient deck and still deliver the most important ingredient -- great taste."
For the snacking generation
"We've been talking to our customers a lot about snacks during the past five years because we've seen consumer behavior change so much," says Kim Holman, director of marketing, at Wixon (www.wixon.com), St. Francis, Wis. "They've redefined what a snack is. People used to think a snack was chips, cookies or crackers. Now snacks are beverages, mini-meals or three items on a tray.

Dell Delivers New Solutions in Collaboration with SAP to Offer Improved Agility, Scale and Speed of Gaining Data Insights
Today at SAPPHIRE® NOW, Dell announced new solutions, innovations and services developed in collaboration with SAP that deliver greater performance, insight and agility for organizations processing large volumes of data. This new set of offerings can help customers optimize SAP® solution environments running on clouds; deploy IoT enabled solutions; build on specialized healthcare applications; and streamline data migration and analytics with Dell's world-class services.
"Customers today are looking for easier-to-deploy and simpler-to-manage solutions to help them gain business insights," said Jim Ganthier, vice president and general manager of Dell Engineered Solutions, HPC and Cloud. "Dell and SAP have collaborated for more than a decade to develop pre-integrated solutions that deliver faster time to productivity and the ability to easily gather actionable insights. With today's announcements, Dell builds on its extensive portfolio and offers specialized solutions that meet unique customer needs, enabling them to deliver their desired business outcomes."
Delivering Turn-Key Advanced Analytics to the Mid-Market with the Dell Validated System for SAP HANA Edge
Together, Dell and SAP are helping mid-market customers compete in the digital marketplace. This month, Dell will be the first to offer customers the newly packaged SAP HANA Edge edition, advanced version and SAP Predictive Analytics, available on Dell server platforms in North America. Dell plans to offer a fully integrated appliance, the Dell Validated System for SAP HANA Edge, globally in the third quarter. The appliance speeds turnaround time for new reports and regardless of the source, data is synchronized to dramatically reduce the cost of gaining business insights. The Dell Validated System for SAP HANA Edge includes SAP's predictive analytics libraries native to SAP HANA, SAP Predictive Analytics with advanced data modeler capabilities, and services from Dell to deliver rapid time to value. Additionally, Dell helps customers deploy, implement, migrate, support and train with Dell ProDeploy, ProSupport and custom service offerings.
Optimizing Workloads in the Cloud with Dell Automation and Cloud for SAP Software
Many customers today run a virtualized datacenter and are looking to manage their SAP solution environment in the same way. Dell today showcased Dell Automation and Cloud for SAP Software, which allows customers to quickly deploy virtualized SAP solution environments on a VMware-based cloud platform. Available for preview in the Dell Global SAP Center of Excellence, it extends the Dell Hybrid Cloud Platform Reference Architecture with VMware to work with SAP applications and SAP HANA. Dell Automation and Cloud for SAP Software allows customers to:
Co-Innovating Internet of Things-Enabled Solutions
Dell recently launched the Internet of Things (IoT) Solutions Partner Program to help customers find the best technologies for IoT solutions. As part of this program, Dell and SAP are collaborating to develop a broad range of end-to-end solutions with SAP HANA, IoT client for SAP HANA, and transaction availability for remote sites solution, working in connection with Dell Edge Gateways for industries spanning oil and gas to retail.
Leveraging the Dell and SAP collaboration in IoT, Dell today announced a new IoT development that includes SAP HANA and Cloudera Hadoop. This purpose-built architecture brings together Dell Edge Gateway technology with leading SAP applications and Cloudera tools, allowing customers to more easily gather and deploy information from sensors, and turn that information into actionable insights. Dell is showing the architecture at SAPPHIRE NOW, and in the Global SAP Center of Excellence.
Delivering Industry-Specialized Tools and Expertise
With a long track-record of serving the healthcare industry, Dell announced an optimized architecture for SAP Foundation for Health, which is built in collaboration with Intel and SAP. With patient care, first time accuracy, speed and reliability as top requirements in the medical field, this architecture enables healthcare organizations to analyze large amounts of unstructured data quickly and reliably to deliver patient-centered, information-driven healthcare.
Built on the SAP HANA platform, SAP Foundation for Health provides a flexible and extensible clinical data warehouse model for industry-focused data integration management, and real-time analytics on large-scale data. Powered by Dell PowerEdge servers, the architecture allows organizations to deploy SAP Foundation for Health quickly and confidently, delivering personalized care through actionable insights.
Partnering to Provide Specialized Knowledge, Tools and Technology
Dell also announced new relationships with leading systems integrators to provide customers with industry-specialized knowledge, tools and technology. The first partner is Auritas, a best of breed information lifecycle management (ILM) consulting firm and certified SAP partner. By combining Dell's enterprise portfolio with the expertise of specialized systems integrators, Dell and its partners can offer secure deployments that are optimized for customers' workloads and use cases.
Additionally, Dell SAP Services has created a next-generation innovation lab for SAP S/4HANA located in Plano, Texas designed to help organizations evaluate, understand, and benefit from their investments in the SAP S/4HANA platform. This new lab is built on advanced in-memory platform, SAP HANA, and offers a personalized user experience covering mission-critical business processes. It helps customers identify use cases, provides specific industry solutions with smart factory and IoT, identify infrastructure requirements for cloud or on premise, and also helps to develop zero-impact migration plans.
Streamlining Customer Migration and Comprehensive Insights
To further support the adoption and growth of environments running SAP HANA, Dell recently announced the latest release of Dell SharePlex. A leading data replication and near-real-time data integration solution, Dell SharePlex enables customers to migrate their legacy Oracle systems directly to SAP HANA with a proven solution that replicates data in near real-time with no impact to the production database – and does so at half the cost of other leading database replication solutions. In keeping with the focus of Dell's robust portfolio of systems and information management solutions, Dell SharePlex helps organizations spend less time worrying about how to migrate data onto SAP HANA, and more time fueling innovation by driving reporting and analytics initiatives forward to support desired business results.
Providing additional data insight opportunities for organizations, Dell Digital Business Services introduced new analytics frameworks that work with SAP applications and other enterprise systems to analyze CRM, social media, fitness and lifestyle data to offer a single snapshot of an organization's customer.
Customer and Partner Quotes:
"At Loan Science, we believe that unleashing the true power of data can revolutionize loan performance and dramatically reduce default rates," said Lee Latimer, CTO, Loan Science. "While existing analytic systems are struggling to keep pace with demand, we expect the Dell Validated System for SAP HANA Edge to deliver advanced predictive analytics capabilities and order-of-magnitude performance enhancements without breaking the bank."
"Dell and Auritas are working together to deliver innovative services and solutions to enterprise organizations," said Deepak Sood, CEO of Auritas. "Both organizations are passionate about providing observable results that allow clients to unlock the full potential of SAP platforms and leverage the value of big data. It's exciting to provide this level of on-demand consulting in a joint effort with Dell during an event as significant as SAPPHIRE."

I would actually say episode 5 and the final 2 episodes in cowboy bebop during all the scenes with the memory's and then at the end during and after the fight of what happens.
Sad i know but its one of the only anime that has brought a tear to my eye,
Laughter has defiantly gotta be Ikki Tousen just cause its so silly
Also the biggest WTF HS moment had to be the ending of Code Geas R2
Rurouni Kenshin... How can it not? Mixed emotions on a lot of the episodes... Such an amazing anime...
Hmmmmm... More recently... Anohana made me cry all the tears. I mean, just the whole premise was made to make you cry.
Other animes that have really left an emotional impact have been: Mai Hime, Welcome to the NHK, Toradora, Infinite Ryvius, and Millennium Actress. All for various reasons. Mostly because they not only had stories that I felt invested in, but I also have memories attached to them that make me feel emotional.
I would have to say that Naruto Shipudden. I laugh and do a lot of crying in that one and sometimes I'm angry. Another one would be Kids On The Slope. Again I have laughed and cried watching that one. There are others but those two really bring out the emotions in me more than anything else I'm watching right now.
I really want a Kakashi pvc figure but damn I don't have any money!
Only One
One Piece
Never Forget, I miss you all and love you all so much. Thank you
Puella Magi Madoka Magica, GTO, Romeo x Juliet, Howl's Moving Castle i_i

Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
Tomoyo: I'm glad it was you
Code Geass...it really amazes me how people feel like it's just an action show. Anger, sadness, horror...all of that at some point or another. The ending was sad, but it also came with a great sense of relief, like "don't worry, it's over now"...even though you don't want it to end.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica is another obvious candidate, but it made me feel very detached. Not in a bad way, but I felt sort of like Kyubey, just watching everything unfold, maybe because the characters are essentially flat (again, not a bad thing - that was the POINT). I wasn't super-emotional throughout most of it. Although that silhouette-only battle will haunt my nightmares for eternity...
I'm also inclined to say certain moments of Naruto and Bleach. They aren't great shows but they are good. What sticks out for me, although it doesn't really count as emotional, is when Aizen blocks Ichigo's bankai with one finger. It's a promise of amazing things to come. A promise that doesn't exactly deliver, but...(You know, in hindsight, that moment is kind of like, "Okay, great job guys! That's a wrap! We're never gonna make anything cooler than this!")
The only anime that ever actually made my eyes water (super hard to get me to do considering I rarely feel anything) was the Air movie. I died at the end . The Air anime was whatever, but the anime MOVIE. Ugh. Only anime to this day to actually get me to feel something. I highly recommend it.
You're officially my bitch. ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ
^ Air movie was sad indeed.
Any makoto shinkai film. I'm sure there are a lot of others but I've seen so many anime that it's hard to recall specifics.

I know you all are dreaming of spring as much as I am, and we are so excited to show you our next issue.
But don't you feel just a little bit wistful about the passing of winter? The season, I mean. Cool mornings, handknit accessories, snuggling, cozy blankets, rosy cheeks! Winter is pretty wonderful, isn't it?
I thought while we're all waiting anxiously for buds to bloom, it might be nice to take one more long look at some behind the scenes shot from our Winter issue.
Savor the end of the season! The next one is imminent.
