We were also contacted by an area business which expressed a desire to have their employees trained in how to detect illegal activity and the proper ways of safeguarding themselves. It was a fun class which has already produced results.
Happy New Year! Your friends at the Rolla Police Department wish you a very Happy New Year and hope 2013 is a great year for all of us and all of you! We would like to thank you for a great 2012 and look forward to continue serving you as your Police Department in 2013! With Christmas 2012 in the books, we hope all of you had a safe and Merry Christmas and are planning a safe and Happy New Year! Here are a few tips to keep you safe during the remainder of the holiday season:
Decide Who's Driving: New Year's Eve and Drunk Driving...many people associate those two and rightfully so. New Year's Eve is when we celebrate a brand new year and some celebrate with alcohol. Make sure to designate a driver who will not drink to take everyone home from the party, it's a life and death decision.
Be Alert: Be aware of your surroundings and how others are acting. Stay away from those who are out of control and might cause harm. Taking preventive measures is the key. If someone is really intoxicated, prevent them from trying to drive or leaving with someone they do not know. It's important to keep an eye out for each other.
Don't Drive: If you don't have to go behind the wheel, avoid it. More people will be driving under the influence on this particular night, so avoid a potentially dangerous accident by staying off the road. Otherwise, be alert and drive defensively. Most importantly, wear your seatbelt! Also, using public transportation is a wise option. If taking a cab is too expensive, crashing at a friend's place nearby is a convenient solution.
Sexual Assaults: Many times Sexual Assaults occur when one or both people are too drunk to know what is going on or the female is passed out, this happens more than you think. There are predators and deviate people out there that will spike your drinks so they can get you under their control;. An unattended drink gives an opportunity for a predator to slip something into your drink. Accept drinks only from people you know well.
Stick Together: This way we can look out for our friends and family. Going out to parties and nightclubs means a fast-paced, crazy night; so be sure to travel in groups. Having a safety net around you in this environment, especially for women, is imperative.
Monitor Your Alcohol Intake: A majority of people will be drinking on New Year's Eve, and there is nothing wrong with that as long as it does not cause you or others to get into trouble. Just be sure to pay attention to how much you and others are consuming. Drinking too much alcohol can have lethal affects. Be responsible.
Liquor Check: A safe party lies with the host, though everyone else isn't any less responsible. The host should know a few things about the liquor that is being served. Beer and wine are just as intoxicating as hard liquor. A 12-ounce can of beer, a five-ounce glass of wine, a 12-ounce wine cooler, and an ounce and a half of liquor, contain the same amount of alcohol. Mixers won't help dilute alcohol.
Carbonated mixers like club soda or tonic water cause alcohol to be absorbed into a person's system more quickly. Fruit juice and other sweet mixers mask the taste of alcohol and may cause people to drink more. Fatty food provided with the alcohol will help because it will create a lining around the stomach that will prevent the alcohol from getting inside. This will ensure that the drinker is not overly dehydrated. There is a tendency to rely on someone's physical appearance to determine his or her state of drunkenness, and this must be avoided at all costs.
Every year many Americans are affected by burglary. Not only do they lose treasured possessions, but are also often left feeling that they have been invaded and their own personal security threatened. The sad thing is that many burglars get away with it because the police are unable to match property they suspect is stolen, with an actual burglary.
This is because in the majority of cases they are given a description of what has been stolen, but no serial numbers to match with the stolen items. So please take the time to record your serial numbers and put them in a safe place. Also it's a good idea to engrave your property if it does not have a serial number.
This next entry is from the desk of Detective Derrick Dillon. Derrick writes: I am currently working a fraud whereas a male subject has been selling advertisement space to local businesses. He has visited several local businesses selling advertisement spaces whereas he promised to place the ads on various restaurant tables, coffee mugs, etc. He would then receive a deposit (sometimes payment in full). He has moved on without fulfilling his orders. The subject has been identified; however, I believe he has relocated to another state. I believe he was in the area for a short time (around April of 2012). If you believe your business has been a victim of this fraud, please contact Detective Dillon at 573-308-1213. Please have copies of any supporting documents that would aid in this investigation. Thank you. - Detective Dillon.
In closing, I would like to thank this great community for the wonderful meals, desserts, fruit baskets and the seemingly endless continuation of Holiday Cheer we have felt through our community. This genuine concern seems to grow each year and I just wanted to take a minute and thank you the community for standing behind your police department.
See you in 2013!

Using a system of grading codes based on those established by price guides such as Beckett, Tuff Stuff, Sports Collector's Digest, collectors can determine the approximate condition of items offered by interpreting the following grades. Grading is very subjective and there can also be grades in between the levels below.
MINT (MT) - while we rarely use this grade, occasionally it can be found for items that we appraise as appearing nearly perfect to the naked eye. With respect to cards, it would be defined as one with 50/50 centering all around, razor-sharp corners, a photo that is well-registered and completely focused, and no visible imperfections on card front or back.
NEAR MINT-MINT (NRMT/MT) - is qualified by at least 60/40 centering, only the slightest hint of corner wear upon close inspection, and may have a barely visible print spot, lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection.
NEAR MINT (NRMT) - card displays at least 70/30 centering, may have a visible slight touch of corner wear all around, and/or a few slightly visible print spots, a lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection.
EXCELLENT-MINT (EX/MINT) - centering equivalent to NRMT (70/30), but 2 or 3 corners display an obvious "fuzzy" quality. Essentially, a card that would have been deemed NRMT if not for the corner wear being more apparent. May have a barely visible print spot, a lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection.
EXCELLENT (EX) - all four corners show visible signs of wear, but are not rounded. Centering at least 80/20. May have a visible print spot, a lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection.
VERY GOOD (VG) - Corners are rounded and the card may have creases or wrinkles.
FAIR TO GOOD - in this grade, card has rounded corners and other major defects such as scuffing, pinholes, loss of gloss, multiple creases. In general, a markedly worn card and often used as a "filler" until a better one comes along.
1967 Topps WHO AM I ?NM/MINT to MINT COMPLETE 1976 Crane Potato Chip Football Discs Set.
It's easy to see why the 1967 Topps "Who Am I? set is a favorite of both sports and non- sport collectors. The set's 44 cards feature mostly important figures from world history but what makes this set even more popular was the inclusion of 4 of baseball's most popular players: Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays and Sandy Koufax !!!
The players picture on the front is covered with a scratch-off disguise with silly, exaggerated features like hair, moustaches, hats, noses... and clues to help kids identify the famous person pictured. The backs contained additional clues and instructions to "Scratch off disguise on front to discover Who I Am. Use a coin or fingernail."
Cards with their scratch-off coating intact are worth many, many times cards with the coatings removed. For example, NM/MINT Babe Ruth with the coating is in the $200-$400 range while a NM/MINT Ruth with the coating removed is closer to $25.

1969 Topps StampsThis was Topps 3rd stamp issue in the last eight years and it was a good one !!! The stamps were not inserts but a totally separate issue . For a nickel you got a strip of twelve stamps plus a mini album. The 1969 Topps Stamps complete set contains 240 stamps. The 1 x 1-7/16 inch stamps were unnumbered and featured a color photo with the player's name, team and position inside a colored banner at the bottom of the stamp. The stamps were released in both vertical and horizontal strips of 12 stamps. The 1969 Topps Stamps are often confused with Topps' 1974 issue. The 1974 Topps Stamps have ovals rather than banners at the bottom and were released only in 12-stamp horizontal panels.
Along with the stamps, Topps also issued a set of 24 albums, one per team, to store them in. The 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" orange albums were the same size as a baseball card and held a complete 10-stamp team set. To add even more collecting fun, the album's back cover had facsimile autographs of the ten players shown in the album.
The 1969 Topps Stamps set is packed with stars like Pete Rose along with tons of Hall-of-Famers including MICKEY MANTLE, Willie Mays, Roberto Clemente & many, many more !!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Katherine105 from Sexy, flattering, and nice quality dress. I ordered this dress in a size small and was worried that it would actually be too short, wasn't sure about the quality of the material either. When I got it in and tried it on, it was a wonderful surprise as it was just as nice as on the picture! The quality of the material was decent, strong enough to hold you in and hug your curves, and the mesh didn't seem to frail either. It actually fits longer than on the picture, which suits me fine. I'm 5'-7 1/2", 135lbs.

Tenure Policy
Indiana University's policy on faculty tenure ensures academic freedom and economic security for its faculty. The policy was approved by the Faculty Council and the Trustees of Indiana University in 1969. (See Policies E-2 and E-3). A similar policy for librarians was approved initially in 1972 and revised subsequently in 2009. (See Policy E-4).
Probationary Period
The policy provides for up to a seven-year probationary period, including appropriately negotiated credit for time spent at other institutions (as explained in Recruitment, Section B of this Guide). The amount of time to be credited is evaluated carefully at the time of initial appointment; no subsequent retroactive adjustment of tenure credit will be made.
Presidential Authority
Academic personnel actions which require the approval of the Trustees of Indiana University (appointment or reappointment with tenure, appointment to major administrative positions) will be received and acted upon by the Board only with the prior approval of the President. (See Policy E-1).
Geographic Limitation
The tenure policy provides that tenure shall be campus-specific: "The tenure of any faculty member, however, is specific to the campus...in which he/she is serving at the time of acquisition of tenure." (See Policy E-2). This policy was reviewed and reaffirmed by the Bloomington Faculty Council in 1978 and the University Faculty Council in 1980. Subsequent changes in the locus of tenure must be agreed to in writing by the campuses involved and by the tenured faculty member.
Criteria for Tenure/Promotion/Reappointment
The criteria for judging tenure-worthiness and the granting of tenure were approved by the Faculty Council in 1968 and amended by the University Faculty Council in 1976 and 1991. In addition, the Bloomington Faculty Council approved a more detailed set of criteria in 1979. The two versions are not in conflict with one another (see Policies E-5 and E-6) and both should be seen as applicable to faculty on the Bloomington campus. Both sets of documents incorporate the criteria for faculty promotions approved by the Faculty Council in 1960. (See Policy E-7). The University Faculty Council approved criteria for Librarian promotions in 1976 and revised those criteria in 2009. (See Policy E-8).
Reappointments during the probationary period are made on the basis of the faculty member's progress toward meeting the criteria contained in Policies E-5, E-6, and E-7. Reappointments beyond an initial one-year or three-year appointment are normally for one year at a time until the tenure decision.
In evaluating the performance of faculty members as these critical decisions concerning their careers are made, the mission of a campus/school/unit and the faculty member's contribution to that mission, must be taken into account. Candidates for promotion or tenure should normally excel in one of the three areas of teaching, research/creative activities, and service and be at least satisfactory (research/creative activity; service) or effective (teaching)in the others. In exceptional cases, however, a candidate may present evidence of balanced strengths that promise excellent overall performance of comparable benefit to the university. (See Policy E-7).
Criteria Compared
The primary difference in the criteria for tenure (and reappointment) and the criteria for promotion is that tenure is a more forward-looking decision. The criteria for both tenure and promotion take into account past achievements. However, in the case of tenure those achievements are used to evaluate future promise whereas in the case of promotion those achievements are used to evaluate distinction and stature in one's field. (See Policy E-9, 4c.)
The Teaching Criterion
A Bloomington Faculty Council resolution passed in 1983 (Policy E-10) required each unit to develop a plan for evaluation and improvement of teaching and for assuring that teaching is accorded significant weight in promotion, tenure and salary determination. The Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education is to monitor the plans and assist units in complying.
Commission on Teaching, 1992
The BFC approved the work of the Commission on Teaching by endorsing the principle that teaching be accorded status and rewards equivalent to those for research, asking that the college and the schools implement standards and procedures to achieve equivalency, recommending salary supplements for teaching award winners, and requesting a departmental and public record of teaching assignments and enrollment data. (See Policy E-11).
Teaching Evaluation
The BFC has mandated that each unit develop teaching evaluation policies and procedures (Policy E-12). While evaluations are useful in many ways (e.g., for teacher self-improvement, in the salary-setting process, in assessment of learning, and in measures of institutional effectiveness), they become critical to the individual case in a promotion or tenure dossier. The Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education monitors departmental compliance.
Unit Criteria and Procedures
The Bloomington Faculty Council has further stated (see Policy E-10) that each unit head, in cooperation with the members of the unit, shall describe in writing the procedures and criteria used by that unit in arriving at recommendations concerning tenure and promotions. These written documents are to be made available by the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs at the Graduate Library Reference Desk where all Bloomington faculty shall have access to them. The procedures and criteria for appropriate units are also sent by the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs to all new appointees in faculty rank, and to those converting from lecturer to faculty rank. All documents explaining and interpreting promotion and tenure criteria statements, including letters to referees, are also to be reviewed and approved by the faculty of the unit and are to be discussed with tenure-track faculty as part of the annual review. (See Policy E-13). For matters of tenure, each faculty member may choose to be evaluated under the unit statement in existence at the time of initial appointment or the statement in effect at the time of the tenure review.
Policies for Reappointment/Non-reappointment
The University Faculty Council and the Trustees of Indiana University approved in 1972 the Policies Governing Reappointment and Non-Reappointment during the probationary period. (See Policy E-9). These policies cover notice of the terms of the initial appointment, annual reviews, notice of impending recommendation for reappointment or tenure, and provisions for review of a negative recommendation. These policies are incorporated in the procedures to be followed in the various evaluative processes involved in making tenure and promotion decisions as set out in this section.
Annual Reviews
An annual review regarding reappointment and tenure prospects must be conducted for each full-time, non-tenured librarian and faculty member. The University Faculty Council approved in 1977 a policy which provides that all assistant and associate professors, and all affiliate, assistant, and associate librarians be given an annual review relative to promotion prospects. (See Policy E-14).
Tenure Track Reviews
No specific date for annual reviews is established. The reviews of tenure-track faculty and librarians may occur at any time during the academic year, although many units find it convenient to conduct the re-appointment reviews before the bulk of their reappointment recommendations are due (March 1). The results of these reviews may best be transmitted orally in the first instance, but for all tenure-track faculty a summary must be recorded in writing. The summary should speak to progress in the three areas of responsibility-teaching, research/creative activities, service. One copy of the written summary is to be given to the candidate and the other copy is to be placed in the unit's files. For the benefit of the candidate and the University, it is recommended that the review state two things in addition to the evaluation per se: first, that the review reflects the evaluation of the unit only, and second, that subsequent evaluations at any level of the University may differ from the evaluation of the unit.
The annual reappointment review shall be conducted each year for all full-time, non-tenured faculty members and librarians regardless of the length of time the person has been on the faculty, whether they have an appointment which exceeds one year, or whether they may be temporarily on leave of absence. Even though the review conducted during a faculty member's first year in residence is probably based on less information than subsequent reviews and may therefore not seem as useful, it is imperative that such a first-year review occur.
Reviews of Tenured Appointees
The procedures are slightly different for annual reviews relative to promotion prospects required for all tenured faculty and librarians below full rank. The fact that a review or discussion has taken place must be confirmed in writing to the appointee and to the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs. The appointee may request a written summary of the substance of the review or discussion, or the reviewer may independently decide to provide a written summary. In either event, if the statement is put in writing, copies must be both placed in the file and given to the appointee.
Notice of Reviews
Well in advance (2-4 weeks) of any review, the faculty member must be invited to assemble and submit materials relevant to his or her teaching, research/creative activities, and service.
Notice Requirements for Non-Reappointment
The University adheres to the AUUP statement on the amount of notice faculty members should be accorded if they are not to be reappointed or granted tenure. (See Policy E-2). Faculty members are to be given at least three months' notice during their first year of service (by February 1), six months' notice during their second year of service (by November 15), and twelve months' notice after two or more years of service (by May 1). To accommodate these deadlines, recommendations are due in the Office of the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs by the following dates:
1st year . . . . ..January 10 . . . . for 2nd year reappointment
2nd year . . . . October 15 . . . . for 3rd year reappointment
2nd year . . . . March 1 . . . .for 4th year reappointment
3rd-5th year March 1 . . . . for 5th-7th year reappointment
6th year . . . . November 1 . . . for 8th year--tenured status.
Originally these deadlines applied only to faculty members. On 12/3/68 the Faculty Council approved the extension of these requirements to include lecturers and in 2001 the Academic Officers' Committee adopted the extension of these requirements to Academic Specialists. Trustees' action (see Policy E-4), provides that the same requirements shall apply to librarians.

The AAUP has also issued a statement concerning a faculty member's obligation "not to resign in order to accept other employment as of the end of the academic year, later than May 15 or 30 days after receiving notification of the terms of his continued employment the following year, whichever date occurs later." The complete AAUP Statement appears in Policy B-15.
Procedures: Reappointment/Non-Reappointment (including tenure)
The Affirmative Action Plan approved by the Trustees of Indiana University in June of 1974 requires that policies relating to reappointment and tenure shall be under constant review to ensure that women and members of minority groups are accorded equal opportunity. It also provides that an equity review shall be conducted to ensure that women and members of minority groups have been so treated. (See Policy E-15).
General procedures for reappointment/non-reappointment (as well as tenure) were approved by the UFC and the Trustees of Indiana University in 1991. (See Policy E-16). Procedures for making recommendations for librarians are described in Policy E-4.
Review of Non-reappointments for Tenure Probationary Faculty and Librarians
Policy E-17 describes opportunities for further review available to tenure track faculty who are not reappointed during the tenure probationary period.
Tenure and Promotion to Associate
The granting of tenure to IUB faculty shall, by Bloomington Faculty Council action effective since the 1976-77 academic year, also constitute promotion to associate professor for those not already holding that rank. (The promotion shall become effective at the beginning of the academic year following the one in which the positive tenure decision is taken.) (See Policy E-2).
Promotion Procedures
The Faculty Council in 1952 approved the general procedures to be used in making recommendations concerning faculty promotions. (See Policy E-18). Analogous procedures for librarian promotions were approved by the Trustees of Indiana University in 1972 (see Policies E-4| and E-19) and by the APPC. (See Policy E-19).
In order to prevent inequities in promotions the Faculty Council in 1952 directed the Dean of the Faculties (now the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs) to review all faculty below full rank who have not recently been accorded a formal review for promotion. (See Policy E-18). Accordingly, the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs requests information from units about faculty members who have not been recommended for promotion in the last two years and who have been in the following ranks for at least the indicated period of time:
Associate Professor . . . . 7 years
Assistant Professor . . . . 5 years
Lecturer, Research Scientist/Scholar, Clinical Professor . . . . 3 years
Such information may then be taken by the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs to the Campus Promotions Advisory Committee for advice.
Reappointment Procedures (including tenure)
The Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs sends reappointment lists and a reminder of procedures about one month before recommendations are due. Where tenure decisions are involved, lists are sent prior to the end of the 5th year of service.
1. The Chairperson or unit head advises faculty member that
- a) department/school will soon make a recommendation concerning reappointment;
- b) he/she may submit materials within a specified time; and
- c) in preparation for a tenure review, she/he shall submit a list of names of outside referees (this list, together with a list compiled by the Chairperson, is forwarded to the Dean of the school).
2. The Chairperson or unit head is responsible for assembling the dossier.
- a) Materials are assembled.
- b) A checklist is completed, with one signed copy placed in the dossier, and another given to the faculty member.
- c) The dossier is reviewed by the appropriate committee in the department/ school, which arrives at a recommendation.
3. The Chairperson forwards the unit's recommendation for pre-tenure reappointments to the school Dean and the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs. For negative pre-tenure cases and all tenure cases, the Chairperson or unit head

4. The Dean of the School adds her/his recommendation on negative pre-tenure reappointment cases and forwards all materials to the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs, advising the candidate at once in writing (copy to the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs). For all tenure cases, the Dean
- a) seeks a recommendation from the School Advisory Committee;
- b) adds the committee's and the Dean's recommendations to the dossier and forwards it to the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs; and
- c) if the recommendation is negative, advises the candidate at once in writing (copy to the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs).
5. The Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs
- a) reviews negative pre-tenure reappointment cases and makes a recommendation;

6. The Provost adds a recommendation and transmits the positive cases to the President and to the Board of Trustees.
7. The summary evaluation at the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs' level is returned to appropriate administrators to provide feedback to all faculty members whose promotions were considered at that level.
Promotion and Tenure Committees
Faculty Council and Bloomington Faculty Council actions direct that there shall be campus-wide advisory committees to the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs for both tenure and promotion. (See Policies E-18 and E-20). In the case of the Tenure Advisory Committee the Bloomington Faculty Council has indicated the composition of the committee and the types of cases to be referred to it. As a matter of administrative practice, the Promotions Advisory Committee is constituted according to the same procedures. While not required by the Bloomington Faculty Council, all schools on the Bloomington Campus have promotions and tenure committees advisory to the Deans of the schools. (In the College of Arts and Sciences, each department either functions as a committee of the whole or acts through a promotions and tenure committee in arriving at recommendations.) In 1976 the BFC passed a resolution that the membership of all committees concerned with promotion and tenure should be made a matter of public record at the time of appointment. The unit criteria and procedures collected by the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs are also to be made available to Deans' promotion and/or tenure advisory committees. (See Policy E-20).
Merged and System-wide School Procedures
The Bloomington Faculty Council has approved a number of resolutions concerning faculties in multi-campus units which bear on promotion and tenure reviews. (See Policy D-15). The University Faculty Council has accepted an alternative ad hoc procedure which involves both campuses in the review process in the following way:
"First, tenure and promotion recommendations undergo the first systematic review at the school or departmental level. Review by merged and system schools permits representation on committees by faculty members from whatever campuses the schools deem appropriate and allows rigorous application of uniform standards across all candidates. The recommendation from the school passes to the local campus on which the candidate is or is to be tenured. Local campus procedures are followed in consideration of the dossier, resulting in a campus recommendation. This procedure allows application of uniform procedures across the campus and contributes to the sense of academic community. Third, the recommendation from the campus passes to the reporting line executive vice president, who makes the final recommendation to the President. This procedure clearly defines the role and authority of the executive vice president to recommend promotion or tenure on another campus. It removes the aspect of double jeopardy."
(Administrative Practice)
Dossier Preparation
The first step in the preparation of dossiers for reappointment, tenure, or promotion consideration is to invite candidates to submit relevant materials. In all cases the candidate will have been advised of the upcoming review. Faculty members should be encouraged to supply the kind of information which the Dean or Chairperson knows will be important to the administrators and committees who will evaluate dossiers. Responsibility for the preparation of the dossier rests with the Chairperson, the Dean, or a senior member of the faculty, such as individual who chairs the promotions committee.
It is not the responsibility of the individual faculty member to prepare a dossier but rather to supply information which may be utilized in its preparation. The faculty member cannot be assumed to have the expertise appropriate to this role.
The compilers of a dossier should keep in mind that the objective evidence in the dossier should present the case for promotion or tenure. It is not sufficient for the individual preparing the dossier to simply state that in her/his opinion the candidate is satisfactory. Specifically, university policy requires that each candidate should normally excel in at least one of the three categories (teaching, research/creative activity, service) and be at least satisfactory (research/creative activity; service) or effective (teaching) in each of the other two. In exceptional cases, a candidate may present evidence of balanced strengths that promise excellent overall performance or comparable benefit to the university over time. In all cases the candidate's total record should be assessed by comprehensive and rigorous peer review. All relevant evidence, both positive and negative, must of course be included in the dossier. In order to have the requisite information all units should begin to accumulate information about the candidate's teaching and service performance as soon as the candidate becomes a faculty member. The administrative officer of the unit should routinely gather this kind of information.
Dossier Review
The dossier constructed in consultation with the candidate provides the evidence upon which the tenure decision is to be made. If additional information is sought or received during the review of the dossier at any level, the candidate and all previous committees and reviewers must be notified and given the opportunity to respond to the additional information. The information and the responses shall then become part of the dossier. (See Policy E-16).
Guidelines and Checklist
The Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs has prepared guidelines and a checklist for the preparation of dossiers. It should be noted that some dossier materials are retained in the Office of the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs for the permanent record following the completion of the tenure and promotion processes. Evaluations from the various administrators, committees, outside referees, colleagues, and students (where sent directly to administrators), summaries of teaching evaluations, and the candidates' statements and lists of activities (asterisked items on the checklist) generally are retained in the Office of the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs. Materials clearly supplied by the candidates are returned to the units to be given to the faculty members. Materials for successful candidates are returned in the summer; dossiers for unsuccessful candidates are retained longer to facilitate discussions with these faculty members if they wish to secure additional information.
Dossier for Tenure and Promotion to Associate
For Assistant Professors who are considered for tenure, a single tenure dossier will suffice. If these candidates receive a positive tenure decision, they will at that time, by the same committee, also be considered for promotion to Associate rank.
Access to Dossiers
Effective January 1, 1984, access to employee records shall be governed by State law (Indiana Code 5-14-3), commonly referred to as the Access to Public Records Law. (See Policy A-9). Previous campus policy that provided academic employees the option to waive their right to inspect letters of evaluation solicited by the University for purposes of recommendation on initial appointment, reappointment, promotion, or tenure was repealed by action of the Bloomington Faculty Council on March 1, 1994. (See Policy E-21).
Negative Recommendations
Once the dossier is prepared, the unit will decide upon its recommendation based on the evidence in the dossier. If the decision is negative, the faculty member should be informed so that he may request that the dossier be forwarded even though the unit has not made a positive recommendation.
Review of Negative Recommendations
The last section of the Policies Governing Reappointment and Non-Reappointment During the Probationary Period covers the review or appeal of negative recommendations on reappointment and tenure. These are not elaborated on here. Please refer to the Policies document (Policy E-9) and the Governance and Review Section of this Guide--Section D.
Research Ranks
Project Tenure
Although the Board of Trustees in 1956 approved a policy providing for research project tenure, it has been used only rarely. Recommendations for project tenure must be approved by the appropriate academic dean and the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs. Because the policy requires termination notice of one year in recommending project tenure, the project director or unit head must provide satisfactory evidence that funding for the possible one-year period is assured within the budget of the recommending unit or from some outside funding source. If project tenure is contemplated, all relevant problems, especially that of providing satisfactory evidence of funding resources, should be discussed with the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs. (See Policy A-5).
Recommendations for annual reappointment of Assistant Scholars/Scientists are subject to evaluative review by the chairperson or director, and to the assurance of available funding. Recommendations are reviewed and acted upon by the school dean and the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs. If the research mission of the project and its funding resources permit, Associate and Senior Scholars/Scientists should, whenever possible, be appointed for more than one year. Subsequent reappointments go through the same review process as that specified for Assistant Scholar/Scientists.
Notice Requirement
Except for those holding research ranks who have been granted Project Tenure (which provides a one-year notice requirement), the minimum notice of termination is, as with all non-tenure-line appointees, one pay period (currently one month).
Criteria for each of the three ranks (Senior, Associate, Assistant Scientist/Scholar) are roughly equivalent to those set forth in the area of research for members of the faculty. (See Criteria for Faculty Promotions, Policies E-7 and A-5).
Assistant--typically has completed the terminal degree in his or her discipline, in some fields, has at least one year of successful postdoctoral research experience, and is capable of original, independent research or developmental, scholarly work under the direction of a senior faculty member or an Associate of Senior Scientist/Scholar;
Associate--has begun to establish a national reputation through published work, would typically have responsibility for carrying out independently, as principal investigator, projects of his or her own devising, and has normally completed a minimum of three years of postdoctoral research;
Senior--has established a national reputation as a first-class researcher or scholar who has made substantial contributions to her/his discipline.
As with faculty, research and creative endeavors among non-faculty research specialists can include experimental research, theoretical development, creation of artistic works, and development of research tools or methods. Some forms of research, creative, and/or developmental activities may not necessarily result in publications in scholarly journals, but nonetheless may have an impact on future inquiry by introducing new techniques by which research is conducted. For example, certain scientific or scholarly findings and technological developments might be disseminated through presentations made to professional organizations and through consultations with persons engaged in similar development activities at other institutions.
Nomination and Promotion Procedures
Nomination and promotion procedures for holders of research ranks are similar to those for faculty promotions. Dossiers are prepared by the scientist's or scholar's department or project unit and reviewed by administrators and advisory committees at the school and campus levels. At the campus level, the Promotions Advisory Committee considers promotions in the research ranks; the committee is appointed by the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs. The procedure for nomination and promotion for research ranks is as follows:
- 1. Ascertain that a person qualifies under the University policy. This means: (1) the person holds the terminal degree in his or her field and has at least one year of successful post-degree experience (the terminal degree in some fields may not be the doctorate); (2) the person is wholly involved in research activities with no instructional responsibilities; and (3) the individual's responsibilities provide an opportunity for achieving independent contributions in research or developmental activities that have resulted in or eventually result in national recognition for these contributions.
- 2. The names of outside referees (six for nominations at the rank of Senior or Associate Scientist/Scholar, three for nominations at the rank of Assistant Scientist/Scholar) along with representative samples of the nominee's work and a complete curriculum vitae, should be in the Office of the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs by the first week of January in order for the referees to respond by February. Normally, half of these names should be suggested by the nominee and half by the nominator or others in the unit who are in the best position to select qualified referees; be certain to indicate the source of each. Avoid selecting persons who have had a close personal relationship with the nominee. When you prepare the list of outside referees, please detail the expertise of these individuals as well as their relationship to the nominee.
- 3. The head of the nominee's unit should write a letter to the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs. The letter should indicate which rank is recommended and should summarize the nominee's qualifications and research record. In addition, the nature of the nominee's appointment and position should be summarized, including a clear account of duties and responsibilities, and the relationship of the nominee's role to others in the unit or on the project.
- 4. A dossier should accompany the letter of nomination which includes the nominee's curriculum vitae; copies of published papers or books; supporting letters from colleagues (if desired); and any other evidence which would be helpful for judging the nomination.
- 5. The letter of nomination and supporting materials should be sent to the dean or division head to whom the nominating unit reports for endorsement. The dean will add his or her endorsement of the nomination together with comments and forward the nomination to the Office of the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs by the first week of March for actions to be effective July 1.
The research ranks are represented on and by the Bloomington Faculty Council and have open to them the review mechanisms provided by that body--Faculty Board of Review, Affirmative Action Grievance Procedures, etc. (See Policies D-22 and D-30).
Other Academic Ranks (OAXX, CNXX, IR93, IR92, MDOO)
Initial appointments are made for one calendar year or less; reappointments are normally made on an annual basis. After two years of service, however, reappointments to positions on general fund accounts may be made on a non-limited basis. Reappointment to positions funded by grants or contracts may not exceed one year or the expiration date of the grant if that date is earlier.
Notice Requirement
Appointees on general fund accounts must be given one pay period, i.e., one month's, notice of a decision to terminate them. Appointees on grant accounts are afforded the same amount of notice for termination prior to the end of a grant period. Appointments to the end of the grant period should be assumed to be terminating unless notice of reappointment is given.
Annual Reviews
It is urged that academic appointees be accorded an annual review of their performance, preferably at the time a reappointment recommendation is due.
Review of Negative Recommendations
Review procedures established by the Faculty Council are available to all academic appointees. The Faculty Mediation Committee and the Faculty Board of Review deal with decisions concerning reappointment, salary, conditions of work, etc. (See Section D.) Complaints alleging discrimination of the basis of sex, minority status or age may be reviewed under the Discrimination and Harassment Complaint Procedure. (See Policy D-30).
Salary Budgeting
The administration of Indiana University and of the Bloomington Campus determine general budget guidelines in compliance with the legislative appropriations to the University. These guidelines typically specify such variables as the overall percentage increase to be applied to all continuing positions for academic personnel, the overall percentage increase for the supplies and expenses budget, etc. The advice of the Budgetary Affairs Committee, a standing committee of the Bloomington Faculty Council, is sought at a number of stages in the budgeting process, including development of the overall guidelines. It then becomes the responsibility of the unit head to make recommendations for the specific line-by-line allocations of funds assigned to the unit.
Budgetary Timing/Salaries
Annual budgeting typically begins in the spring. The exact timing of the budgeting process depends in part on the appropriation of funds by the State legislature. Other budgetary information, such as requests for capital expenses, may occur at various times during the year. Summer budgets are established during the preceding fall.
University Salary Policy
A set of eight principles to guide salary decision-making has been drawn up by the University Faculty Council. (See Policy E-22). The principles encourage participation by elected Faculty bodies in salary determination, urge flexibility in responding to local circumstances, and reaffirm the primary of merit among the factors affecting allocation of resources to salaries. (Summer pay for teaching follows as closely as possible the BFC resolution set out in Policy C-4).
Salary-Setting Procedures
Both the University Faculty Council and the Bloomington Faculty Council have approved Salary Policies (see Polices E-22 and E-23), which provide that with faculty involvement each unit shall outline procedures used in initiating and reviewing salary recommendations for academic appointees. The procedure is to be in writing and available to all faculty members. (The Affirmative Action Plan also requires this and provides for an annual equity check; see Policy E-24).
Recommendations coming forward from departments and schools are reviewed in the Provost-Bloomington's office, in the office of the President, and finally by the Board of Trustees. After acceptance of the budget by the Board, salary letters are sent, via deans and chairpersons, to continuing appointees budgeted on general fund monies.
Access to Salaries
The salaries of academic personnel on the Bloomington campus are available at https://fdrs.fms.indiana.edu/cgi-bin/Salary/Salary.pl. In response to a request of the Bloomington Faculty Council for information about Bloomington faculty salaries (see Policy E-25), the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs maintains a listing of faculty salaries arranged in cohort groups defined by rank, years in rank, and academic field. This listing is available online. The Office of the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs conducts periodic studies of salaries to identify problems of equity and to identify factors operating in the determination of salary levels and distributions.
Salary Minima
The Bloomington Faculty Council accepted the recommendation of its Budgetary Affairs Committee to recommend salary minima for faculty members and librarians. (See Policy E-25). The recommended minima for 2008-09 are:
Lecturer/Affiliate Librarian . . . . . . $35,729.65
Assistant Professor/Assistant Librarian . . . . . $38,430.03
Associate Professor/Associate Librarian . . . . $48,250.52
Professor/Librarian . . . . . . $58,972.42
The Bloomington Faculty Council has indicated that (1) the recommended minima are to be reviewed and/or adjusted annually, and (2) any salaries below the minima are to be justified and an explanation made available to the appointee upon request to the Provost. Bloomington Campus administrators have accepted these recommendations including the provision for exceptions.
Mid-year Salary Increases
The policy of the I.U. Administration, as represented in various memoranda, indicates there is an active discouragement of mid-year salary adjustments for all academic appointees. The Board of Trustees reviews and approves the current operating budget at the beginning of each fiscal year and the assumption is that the budget submitted to them is carefully constructed, error-free, and final. Mid-year salary increases are therefore seen as inconsistent with the commitment to the Board of Trustees. (A post-July 1 annual salary adjustment for an academic appointee whose annual appointment does not coincide with the fiscal year, is, however, appropriate.)
The Bloomington Campus Administration will continue to review carefully mid-year requests and approve them only in cases where the justification is persuasive.
Extra Work
At the request of the Governor of the state of Indiana in 1966, the four state universities agreed to adopt uniform rules governing expenditures of time and extra compensation for faculty members. (See Policy E-26). The general rule is that the total time commitment for all permissible forms of extra work--outside consulting, overload, supplemental projects--is not to exceed an average of one day a week.
Guidelines for approval of extra work assignments and payment mechanisms are discussed on the following pages. The principal points of the policies are:
- 1. Any extra work carried out by an academic appointee must not interfere or conflict with the appointee's regular duties in the home academic unit.
- 2. Extra pay from University funds, whether from the General Fund or contracts and grants, can only be approved under special circumstances, and in no case can exceed 20% of the person's base salary for the period.
- 3. In no case may total salary components from a combination of grant and General Fund accounts exceed 100% of the approved budget rate.
- 4. Extra work assignments should be approved by the home department and school where possible prior to the performance of service.
Proposed extra work assignments should be cleared with the Office of the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs prior to firm commitments being made.

Beilein's road to Final four started at ECC
ATLANTA – Thirty-five years ago Ralph Galanti played a hunch that would impact college basketball for decades to come. He entered the president's office at Erie Community College and declared he had found the school's next head coach.
The guy's name was John Beilein. He had played college ball at Wheeling Jesuit – which isn't exactly Duke, or even Florida Atlantic. He was coaching at Newfane High School – which isn't exactly DeMatha, or even Bennett. Beilein's resume was sparse, uninspiring, so lean that basketball-savvy president Oscar Smukler, who'd officiated the sport for 30 years, suggested his athletic director come back with another name.
Galanti and Santo DeSain, the assistant AD and women's basketball coach, persisted. They explained that none of the other candidates matched Beilein's enthusiasm and passion. The guy was a basketball junkie. The game was his calling. To say he aspired to great things in coaching didn't take it far enough. It was more than an aspiration, closer to a link with destiny.
"He blew us out of the water," Galanti said by phone while wintering in Florida. "He was so enthusiastic. He was young, he didn't have any experience at the college level, but his interview just went so great.
"But our president at the time didn't really want John. He wanted more experience, and he was really upset when Santo and I recommended him. We had a meeting in his office, and he kind of read the riot act, saying if this guy doesn't prove himself, Santo and I might be looking for a job besides the basketball coach."
Many years passed before Galanti retired from ECC on his own terms. He watched as Beilein made a methodical climb up the coaching ladder, from ECC to Nazareth and on to LeMoyne. Then came that first Division I job, at Canisius, until he was lured away by Richmond, which surrendered him to West Virginia. The next and presumably last stop on the journey took Beilein to Michigan, which has closed within two wins of the national championship in his sixth season with the Wolverines. They get Syracuse in tonight's second semifinal.
It's been a long and accomplished road that Beilein has followed from the tranquility of rural Niagara County and his hometown of Burt to the frenzy of the Final Four. He ranks among the game's elite, the only active coach to produce 20-win seasons at four different levels (junior college, NAIA, Division II and Division I). He's won 672 college games all told and has a salary ($1.9 million) commensurate with his successes. But it's those four seasons at ECC beginning in 1979 that define his determination and provide the baseline for measuring how far he's come.
DeSain remembers those times well. He and Beilein both lived in Lockport, and neither had a vehicle to brag about, so it made sense for them to carpool from Lockport to ECC's North Campus in Amherst. "My car had issues with starting and John's car's the one that didn't have the heater in it," DeSain said. "We had some fun travels. There also were days when we took the bus together. Not a lot of those, but we did have to rely on the bus a few times to get in.
"Sometimes we left at 7 a.m., didn't get home until 7 or 8. If one of us had the early practice and one of us had the late practice, we would have to wait for the other person. Twelve-hour days were not uncommon at all."
Beilein laughed at the memory of those trips. Some years they included him chauffeuring his players.
"I had a 1970 Maverick," Beilein said. "Three on the column and no radio. I picked up – in junior college you could do that – I picked up three kids from Lockport. Two kids from Lockport were in my starting lineup I think. Lawrence Maroney was a great player. Pick them up every morning, take them to school, drive them back. Oh my God."
The Maverick was a step down from the Volvo Beilein bought when he first started coaching. Then he proposed to Kathleen, and the belt had to tighten.
"I made $10,000 a year, so what do you do? You go buy a $5,000 Volvo as soon as you make $10,000 a year," Beilein said. "Then all of a sudden we get engaged and I trade it in for the Maverick, and she said, 'What happened here, John? We had a Volvo, now you have a 1970 Maverick and a radio that you put on the dashboard."
Never could travel be taken for granted. ECC commuted to away games in vans, sometimes traveling as far as South Carolina. Former UB coach Reggie Witherspoon, a Kat beginning with Beilein's second season, recalled the team hitting the highway to the Region III tournament and barely arriving on time.
"The van broke down," Witherspoon said. "Got on the 90, and the freaking van broke down. Tire went flat. It's cold, windy, and trucks are passing us. Most of us lifted the van, and someone slid the tire off. No jack. Did it all manually. Got there 35, 40 minutes before game. And we lost."
To Beilein one junior college travel disaster sounds just like another.
"I've had more van breakdowns ... ," he said with a laugh.
Through it all he persevered, developing the coaching philosophies he holds dear to this day. Beilein has been captivated by the art of shooting ever since he was a boy. The best defense on the planet can never win a game unless the ball goes through the basket at least once. Defense can create opportunity, but from there offense takes over. Maybe that's why he's always obsessed over proper technique.
"I watched John's practices, and whenever I could would tap into his knowledge and so forth," DeSain said. "He worked on the science of shooting. One of the things he told me when I worked with the kids was to have them think about shooting like they're in a phone booth. They would have to shoot out of the phone booth, which emphasized the reach and the follow-through and so forth. They would go up and down in the same spot. That really struck home with me. It made a lot of sense with me."
"I've honestly heard him say that about the phone both a lot, and I had to catch myself to not use that phrase because I don't think the kids know what a phone booth is," Witherspoon said. "He put a premium on shooting even then. Shooting and balance. If you couldn't shoot, you would feel left out."
Somehow Beilein made his way without a true mentor. He was never an assistant coach, never had the luxury of learning situational coaching from someone more experienced than he.
"I think in many ways it made it more difficult to become a better coach sometimes because I couldn't shortcut," Beilein said. "I couldn't sit next to a great coach and say, 'You should never try that in a game.' I would try it in a game, we would get our butts kicked, I would learn by sleeping on the couch that night because I didn't sleep all night that night.
"You learn that it takes a step back, but it takes a step forward because the next time you get that opportunity you're not going to make that same mistake again. It goes up and down, up and down. But it's well over 1,000 games now, if you go way back to junior college as a coach."
All the way back to the day when ECC found itself a pretty good basketball coach

With concerns rising about prescription drug abuse, legislators are working to help prevent more unintentional deaths.
With concerns rising about prescription drug abuse, legislators are working to help prevent more unintentional deaths.
Gov. Mary Fallin praised these efforts in a statement.
"My thanks go out to the Oklahoma Legislature for passing a series of bills that combat prescription drug abuse," she said. "Nearly 8 percent of Oklahomans are abusing prescription painkillers, twice the national average."
In Pottawatomie County there were 62 unintentional drug deaths between 2007 and 2011, according to the Oklahoma Department of Health. The numbers peaked at 18 overdose deaths in 2009, and were lowest in 2011 with nine deaths.
Adults between the ages of 35 and 54 have the highest overdose death rate of any group, according to these statistics.
Additionally, the top three overdose drugs are alprazolam, which is generic Xanax, hydrocodone, which is generic Lortab, and oxycodone, a key ingredient in Percocet.
Legislators have been working to reduce access to these drugs, as well as make it easier for agencies to research the issue.
House Bill 1781 would allow agencies better access to information regarding overdoses, provided the patient's privacy was still protected.
House Bill 1782 would allow first responders to give opiate antagonists, which combat overdoses, without a prescription.
House Bill 1783 would limit prescription refills on hydrocodone with another active ingredient to no more than two refills.
The legislation passed the House and was passed to the Senate where a floor vote is expected soon.

Some great Bob Camp poses I had to cut just so we could be allowed to make the cartoon at all.
Bob J did such a great job on the animation direction and even went to the Filipines to follow it through, that I had to go to bat for him again just to get him an upfront credit. Nick always hated when I asked for extra credits. I have no idea why, but that was the case. They themselves added all kinds of credits to the show - of people who didn't do what they got credit for, and half of them that we never even met!A couple Bob Jaques animation drawings from Stimpy's inventions.
This whole scene I added at the last minute to replace all the scenes I had to cut from the story:
I'm not sure, but I think this might be a Chris Reccardi layout.
Hey Vincent, do you remember any of this differently?

Contractures refer to the permanent tightening of nonbony tissues, such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, or skin. It results in a loss of motion in the affected joints.
Contracture is different from spasticity, but they are often related. Spasticity is an abnormal increase in muscle tone, which can worsen the development of contractures.
Contractures may be caused by abnormalities of the structures surrounding a joint. These include:
- Deformity
- Immobility
- Injury
- Chronic inflammation
Certain disorders that affect nerves and muscles almost always lead to contractures. For example:
Contractures are often also associated with spasticity resulting from injuries to the central nervous system, such as stroke or brain injury.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your risk of contractures include:
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Tenosynovitis —inflammation of a tendon and its sheath
- Polio and other diseases of nerves and muscles
- Trauma
- Burns
- Scarring
- Prolonged inactivity
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. Your joints will be examined for restricted movement and range of motion.
Images may be taken of your bodily structures. This can be done with x-rays .
Treatment includes:
Maintaining and improving range of motion is important. Ultrasound is often used for large joint contractures. Physical therapy helps to increase mobility, joint elasticity, and muscle strength. Occupational therapy is used to maintain range of motion needed to perform tasks.
Some people also benefit from therapeutic massage.
Casts or Splints
Casts or splints help stretch the soft tissues surrounding the affected joint and can keep them in a more functional position. This method is often used when contractures are caused by nerve injury or immobility. Casts need to be changed regularly to reassess the joint position and avoid skin breakdown.
Medications to treat spasticity may help in the rehabilitation of contractures. This includes the use of botox and oral anti-spasm medications.
Nerve Blocks and Electrical Stimulation
In cases of severe spasticity, nerves to the affected muscles can be temporarily numbed with anesthetics. Alternatively, opposing muscles can be electrically stimulated. These actions can change the balance of forces across a joint. This therapy is often done with casting.
Surgery may be necessary to release affected tendons, ligaments, and joints. This may be done for severe cases or for contractures that do not respond to other treatments.
Prevention of contractures depends on the cause. After acute injuries or orthopedic surgery, contractures may be prevented by:
- Early movement
- Physical therapy
- Continuous passive motion (CPM) machines, which mechanically keep joints in motion
Aggressive medical treatment of inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis may also delay or prevent contractures.

Time Machine & Time Capsule support on your LinkStation

Purpose and Requirements
Automatic Backups & Restore Capability without Buying a Time Capsule
When I installed Leopard, I noticed the nice features of Time Machine, which when coupled with a Time Capsule, gives Mac users a nice automated system for efficient, incremented backups of either selected user data, or the entire system. This can all be done either wired or wirelessly for MacBooks*, AirBooks, or any box running 10.5-10.6. Also, I liked the fact that one can restore a system from a Time Machine image, even picking the date of the backup to serve as the snapshot. These two capabilities make this a useful and desirable solution for backup.
But I didn't want to buy something from Apple if I could make it myself... so here are some pointers towards a DIY Time Capsule.
- a Mac running either Leopard or Snow Leopard
- any NAS device running a full-fledge Linux distro, such as foonas or Debian, with a filesharing protocol set up (AFP is perhaps the best, NFS and SMB usable)
- lots of storage space on the NAS's hard drive, preferably a single partition of about 1TB or greater
- (optional) a USB drive of equal capacity, attached to the NAS, for redundancy
- a network, preferably with a gigabit backbone and 802.11n wireless capabilities
- a working knowledge and familiarity with Time Machine and *Leopard (we assume you understand how to backup your system already)
- Remember that Time Machine.app is not an archival utility, but rather just a backup utility. Don't expect more out of it.
- Remember that this is not a scheme that is supported by Apple, so don't expect perfect reliability with this method. It has worked flawlessly for me, but there are not guarantees.
- If you want a bomb-proof backup of your entire drive contents, you may want to check out Carbon Copy Cloner, by Mike Bombich. This program is considered the gold standard by many, as far as cloning to make bootable backups of hard drives.
Enabling "Unsupported" Time Machine volumes in OS X
By default, Apple has not enabled this DIY Time Capsule ability with Time Machine, so we have to trick it into recognizing and using the shares or exports on our NAS devices. Turning this ability on is easy. In Leopard or Snow Leopard, open up a terminal and on the command line execute the following :
defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1
This has worked fine for me in all cases except one: on my old tricked-out G4 Sawtooth, I had to prepend "sudo" to that command structure. I don't know why that was.
Creating and Using NAS-based Time Capsule volumes
Choosing Between AFP, SMB and NFS
AFP is probably the best choice for a file-sharing protocol on your DIY Time Capsule. Not only is it pretty much the default for all recent Mac OS incarnations, but it is also the easiest and best supported when it comes to restoring an image to a hard drive.
Restoration from AFP shares is better supported, since AFP mounting is easy even when booted from a *Leopard Install DVD. Doing this from SMB shares and NFS exports seems to be less documented (or perhaps undocumented!). Also, there are some accounts out there describing corruption using SMB, recommending not to use it, and to use AFP instead.
BTW, Netatalk (the Linux AFP implementation) works perfectly out of the box, if you choose the Squeeze version of it from Debian.
Creating an Image for Your Time Capsule
You will need to locally create a New Blank Image that:
- has a special filename format that identifies it to Time Machine,
- is 100MB in size (you will want a larger image for backups, but it is easiest to create it small/tiny and then resize it later)
- is Mac OS Extended-Journaled,
- is non-encrypted,
- has no partition-map, and
- is a sparse bundle disk image.
Filename specification
The filename format that Time Machine looks for is:
For instance, if I had a MacPro with an ethernet address of 00:a1:b2:c3:d4:e5, then I would use (and Time Machine would require)
as the filename for its backup image.
Creating the Image
You can do this all with *Leopard's Disk Utility.app, as shown in the graphic below. The File menu will show you were to go, and just specify the settings as shown.
This can also be done from a terminal window with the following below.
hdiutil create -size 100m -fs HFS+J -volname "TMBackup-MacPro" MacPro_00a1b2c3d4e5.sparsebundle
A note/word of caution regarding the name of your Time Machine image: using a hostname that contains spaces or special characters (',!?&, etc) seems to cause problems. Therefore, if your current hostname is "John Smith's SuperMac", you may want to simplify that to "JohnSmithsSuperMac" or "johnsmithssupermac".
Resizing the Image
First, copy the image file from where you created it locally, to the NAS share where it will live. In a terminal window, cd to the location where the TIme Machine image you just copied resides. Then use the hdiutil command to increase it to a useful size, say 50GB.
hdiutil resize -size 50g MacPro_00a1b2c3d4e5.sparseimage
This operation can also be done by dragging the sparsebundle directory into the left Finder Bar of the GUI Disk Utility.app, and then choosing Resize from the menu.
Making Avahi Advertise & Display Your AFP Time Capsule Correctly
If you want your Mac's Finder to recognize and display the Time Capsule correctly, then after installing avahi-daemon on your Linux-based Time Capsule, create a special services file for it.
nano /etc/avahi/services/timecapsule_afpd.service
Add these contents to it, and save it.
<?xml version="1.0" standalone='no'?> <!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd"> <service-group> <name replace-wildcards="yes">TimeCapsule %h</name> <service> <type>_afpovertcp._tcp</type> <port>548</port> </service> <service> <type>_device-info._tcp</type> <port>0</port> <txt-record>model=TimeCapsule</txt-record> </service> </service-group>
The first service defines the AFP connection. The second service makes the Time Capsule icon appear correctly in the Finder's Side Bar.
You should not have to restart avahi-daemon. Once your Mac's Finder catches up with the network (anywhere from less than a second to a minute or two), you'll be able to browse for your Time Capsule.
Setting Backup Times
The default (and unchangeable!) setting for Time Machine is every 60 minutes. There is no easy internal way to change this.
If you want to change this to, say, once a day, every Sunday at 1AM, or something of that nature, check out Time Machine Editor.
I have a 1TB USB hdd attached my 1TB LSPro. Once a week a simple rsync script is run via cron so that the backup on the LSPro also gets backed up. Our Macs all get Time Machine backed up once a week as well, and we keep an eye out to see that there were no failures.
Self-Destruct Issues
Due to the fact that this is not 100% supported by Apple and *Leopard (read : Unsupported), you will want to occasionally check the status of your DIY Time Capsule images. In particular, if a backup fails, it will probably be because the image sparsebundle is out of space.
To fix this, enter Time Machine.app and decide whether you want to delete particular files or particular backups (as in the oldest dated backup). I just delete the oldest backup )or two or three) from within Time Machine.
Restoring from Time Capsule/Time Machine
As mentioned before, this is only a good option if you have been careful enough to:
- maintain integrity of your backup data/sparsebundle files, and
- chosen AFP/Netatalk as the filesharing protocol.
The basic idea is to boot from the Leopard/SnowLeopard Install DVD, and then open a terminal and use a few commands to mount the share so that Time Machine can access it.
1. Boot up your Mac that you want to restore a Time Machine image to, and have a partition suitably prepared for it.
2. In a terminal window execute the following commands:
mkdir /Volumes/TimeMachine mount -t afp afp://username:password@hostname/ShareName /Volumes/TimeMachine
where username, password, hostname (or its IP), and ShareName are all replaced by your values. Remember that ShareName is case sensitive.
3. Open up Time Machine.app and the backups should be accessible. Restore as one normally would with Time Machine.
An alternate method is to do a normal reinstall of Leopard/SnowLeopard, and then once you've booted into your new OS, open up Time Machine and browse for your backups (Time Capsule will be visible in the Finder Bar, you'll just have to connect and authenticate. Still another variation is to use Migration Assistant to bring in your data and files.
Sparsebundle is displayed as folder rather than disk image
- If your sparsebundle shows up as a folder rather than a disk image icon, then you may be able to restore the icon (and the Finder's recognition of it as a file to be opened with DiskImageMounter) by running the following command in a terminal window:
SetFile -a B <path-to-volume>/<your-backup-image-filename>.sparsebundle/
For me it was:
SetFile -a B /Volumes/TimeCapsule/MacPro_001ed0d24226.sparsebundle/
SetFile is provided in the Leopard Developer Tools.
- If when looking at your contents though the Linux side of things you see many files beginning with :2e, like this:
:2e001b639218cc Network Trash Folder :2e001fd0d14225 Temporary Items :2e002421522a8d icontest.sparsebundle :2e0024e8e61a2c lost+found
then try using "usedots" as an option in your AppleVolumes.default settings.

Malaysia Airports' early lunar new year "ang pows" for Rumah Kasih
25 January 2014
Sepang, 25 January 2014 - Sixteen children from Rumah Kasih in Petaling Jaya received early "ang pows" from Malaysia Airports at KL International Airport (KLIA) today. The children's "ang pows" came in the form of new clothes and gifts ahead of the upcoming Lunar New Year.
Partnering MELODY FM, Malaysia Airports organized this joint CSR initiative as part of its Lunar New Year 'Auspicious For The Horse Year 2014' celebrations. The aim was to spread some of the joy of giving and sharing in the run-up to the Lunar Year of the Horse.
Amongst the gifts presented to the children, aged between 5-17 years old, were new clothes and shopping vouchers. The children received their gifts from Malaysia Airports' representatives and MELODY FM radio announcers.
In addition to the gifts, the children were also treated to a full-day excursion to KLIA. Their day kicked off with a journey onboard the KLIA Ekspres train. The complimentary KLIA Ekspres train tickets were provided by Express Rail Link Sdn Bhd (ERL). At KLIA, they had lunch provided by McDonald's, shopped at KLIA's Satellite Building thanks to the complimentary RM150 shopping vouchers they each received from Malaysia Airports, and were hosted to tea by Old Town White Coffee Café.
Apart from shopping, the children enjoyed games and activities led by MELODY FM's radio announcers. One of the activities was a Royal Selangor School of Hard Knocks contest where the children experienced making pewter bowls using only traditional tools. Prizes were given out to winners of the games.
From 23rd of January till 16th of February, KLIA will host an array of activities in conjunction with the Lunar New Year at both the Main Terminal and Satellite Buildings. Amongst them are lion dances, God of Prosperity walk-about, mask changing performances, traditional Chinese dances and Tuho, a Chinese traditional arrow shooting game.
The Lunar New Year festive celebrations form part of Malaysia Airports' annual Indulge Till You Fly Campaign, a drive to raise awareness on the dual roles of international airports - as transportation hubs and as lifestyle destinations. It extends on this year's ITUF Campaign Wonderland theme.
Under the ITUF Campaign, those who spend a minimum of RM250 at any F&B or retail outlets will be eligible to take part in the Indulge & Win Contest and win instant cash shopping vouchers worth RM10. MasterCard users will be given the privilege to double their entries and shopping vouchers claim.
So, if you are one of those who need to indulge in some last-minute shopping before you fly home, you may just be rewarded with a bigger "ang pow" to bring home if you shop at KLIA. If you spend a minimum of RM50 at any of the retail or food-and-beverage outlets at KLIA, you will be able to play games and spin the Wheel of Fortune and win Chinese New Year goodies such as fortune cookies, sweets in jars or 'ang pow' packets.
The ITUF Campaign has received an overwhelming response, thanks to its grand prize of RM1,000,000 and the opportunity to shop in seven shopping capitals of the world. To date, Malaysia Airports has received 151,073 entries for the Indulge & Win contest, a 14.12 per cent increase from last year.
More information on the Campaign can be found at the dedicated Indulge Till You Fly website (www.malaysiaairports.com.my/indulge). Travellers may also want to log in to The Indulge at Malaysia Airports Facebook page (www.facebook.com/IndulgeMalaysiaAirports) and download some of the discount coupons available before heading out to the airport.
The 2013/2014 ITUF Campaign is being held from 10 July 2013 till 28 February 2014.
