LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwire - Nov. 6, 2012) - Serica Energy plc (TSX:SQZ)(AIM:SQZ) announces that well 15/21a-60, drilled to appraise a possible easterly extension of the Spaniards discovery in Block 15/21a, has reached a total depth of 10,694 feet and is being plugged and abandoned. The well, operated by Premier Oil, encountered 75 feet of Jurassic sands but these were interpreted to be water bearing from the log data.
Tony Craven Walker, Chairman and Interim CEO stated: "There was a reasonable pre-drill expectation that the Spaniards discovery extended over a wider area and, given its proximity to existing production facilities, could therefore be commercial. Whilst a full analysis of the well results will be required before a final conclusion can be reached, the initial interpretation now indicates that the accumulation is likely to be confined to a more limited area around the original discovery well."
The technical information contained in the announcement has been reviewed and approved by Peter Sadler, Business Development Director of Serica Energy plc. Peter Sadler is a qualified Petroleum Engineer (MSc Imperial College, London, 1982) and has been a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers since 1981.
Serica Energy was formed in 2004 and, since then, has drilled in locations as diverse as the UK Offshore, the Atlantic margin offshore Ireland, offshore Indonesia (North West Sumatra, East Kalimantan and Java) and offshore Vietnam. Seventeen wells were drilled by the Company as Operator, fourteen of the wells encountered oil or gas and six of these were commercial. The first of the commercial discoveries, the Kambuna field in North West Sumatra, was developed by the Company. The second, the Columbus field in the UK North Sea, is now in the pre-development stage with project sanction pending. The Company also has a residual economic interest in the Bream oil field offshore Norway, which will be crystallised when the field is developed, and licence interests offshore Ireland, Morocco and Namibia.
The Company is listed on both the Toronto Stock Exchange and the London AIM under the ticker SQZ.

Since school's (finally!) out, now's the perfect time to shake up your style. Whether your calendar's booked with graduation parties or summer BBQs, wedges are a wonderful solution to any what-to-wear footwear conundrum—and they're even better in powerful prints. Why else do wedges rock? While they boost you up, they're easier to walk in than traditional heels, especially if they have a platform sole like those from Urban Outfitters and Asos. We suggest wearing your wedges with a simple skirt and a pretty Peter Pan collar top—and perhaps finishing it all off with some DIY bangles?

Wow, I can't believe it. Three years ago, as a sophomore, I began working in Career Services as a Communications and Marketing intern. During this time, I learned so many new skills in the communications arena. I know so much more about social media and social media marketing as well as a lot of other facets of being a GREAT communications professional. I had the opportunity to assist at many Career Services events where I got to connect with so many alumni and employers over the years—and, of course, the Career Services staff. This is one of the things I will miss most about this job.
I've loved working with each and every member of the Career Services team. During my time in the office each week, I was able to talk to about life on and off-campus as well as get answers to my many career-related questions. I urge anyone who has not taken the time to visit the office to meet the staff and make use of its many resources to do so ASAP. You are truly doing yourself a disservice if you don't!
For my last blog, I decided to hit campus to talk to fellow seniors about their post-graduation plans. I wanted to know all the cool and exciting things my fellow seniors will be pursuing after they leave Princeton. Some students are planning to head off to full time employment after graduation, while others are planning to travel and do cool programs such as Princeton In Asia. Not every senior knows what they are doing after graduation just yet and that's totally fine. Some are still considering their options and/or developing a plan of action for their post-graduation job search. Others have decided to take the summer off for some much needed R&R.
So what will I be doing next year? Great Question. I am pleased to announce that next year I will be a Puttkammer Fellow at the Vera Institute of Justice in New York City. I will be working with the Center on Sentencing and Corrections helping with the Pathways from Prison to Postsecondary Education project as well as helping to develop a volunteer-based education model that will be implemented in three different U.S. states. I'll also be dipping my feet into some cool social media and media relations projects! I'm so excited for my next year at the Vera Institute and hope to blog there, too. I am also in the process of developing my own brand management/social media consultant freelance services company. I'm hoping to take this passion of my mine and turn it into something bigger!
For those who don't have a clear sense of what path you want to pursue just yet, my advice to you is not to worry. You'll figure it out. For those who do know– good luck! I hope you pursue your passions and embark on a journey that will yield much success for you in the future. We made it, you guys! We've finally reached what we have been working so hard for the last four years… so do well on those finals and I'll see you all at graduation! To my readers, I want to thank you for following my blog. This is a not goodbye, but rather, see you later.
I'm only an email or a tweet away. If you want to stay in contact with me, feel free to connect with me on Linkedin or via email at email@example.com. Also, make sure to follow me on Twitter (@rainshineluv). I know the next year will be filled with many great opportunities. Thank you Career Services! Thank you Princeton! Thank you to everyone who has helped and guided me to where I am now.
~ On behalf of the entire Career Services' staff, we wish Rana Campbell '13 all of the very best! We will truly miss her in Career Services!

On July 4, 1851, the future Methodist Bishop William Wightman came to a beautiful site on a high ridge overlooking the tiny courthouse village of Spartanburg, South Carolina. As more than 4,000 people looked on, he made the keynote address while local Masons laid the cornerstone for Wofford College. A distinguished professor, journalist, and clergyman, Wightman stressed that the new institution would pattern itself after neither the South's then-elitist public universities nor the narrowly sectarian colleges sponsored by some denominations. Instead, he argued, "It is impossible to conceive of greater benefits — to the individual or to society — than those embraced in the gift of a liberal education, combining moral principle ... with the enlightened and cultivated understanding which is the product of thorough scholarship."
Wofford College later experienced both good times and hard times, but it stands more than 150 years later as one of a handful of pre-Civil War American colleges operating continuously and successfully on its original campus. It has offered carefully selected students a respected academic program, tempered with concern for the individual. It has respected the virtues of continuity and heritage while responding with energy, optimism, and excitement to the challenges of a changing world.
Like many of America's philanthropic institutions, Wofford College came about because of the vision and generosity of an individual. Benjamin Wofford was born in rural Spartanburg County on October 19, 1780. Sometime during the great frontier revivals of the early 19th century, he joined the Methodist church and served as a circuit rider (itinerant preacher) for several years. In 1807, he married Anna Todd and settled down on her family's prosperous farm on the Tyger River. From this happy but childless marriage, which ended with Anna's death in 1835, Mr. Wofford acquired the beginnings of his fortune. At the age of 56, the widower married a much younger woman from Virginia, Maria Barron. They moved to a home on Spartanburg's courthouse square, where he could concentrate on investments in finance and manufacturing. It was there that Benjamin Wofford died on December 2, 1850, leaving a bequest of $100,000 to "establish a college of literary, classical, and scientific education to be located in my native district and to be under the control and management of the Methodist Church of my native state." It proved to be one of the largest financial contributions made to American higher education prior to the Civil War. Mr. Wofford's will was approved in solemn form on March 14, 1851, and the college charter from the South Carolina General Assembly is dated December 16, 1851.
Trustees quickly acquired the necessary land and retained one of the South's leading architects, Edward C. Jones of Charleston, to lay out the campus. Although landscaping plans were never fully developed in the 19th century, sketches exist to show that the early trustees envisioned a formal network of pathways, lawns, and gardens that would have left an impression quite similar to the present National Historic District. The original structures included a president's home (demolished early in the 20th century), four faculty homes (still in use today for various purposes), and the magnificent Main Building. Known as simply as "The College" for many years, the latter structure remains one of the nation's outstanding examples of "Italianate" or "Tuscan Villa" architecture.Construction finally began in the summer of 1852 under the supervision of Ephraim Clayton of Asheville, NC. Skilled African American carpenters executed uniquely beautiful woodwork, including a pulpit and pews for the chapel. The college bell arrived from the Meneely Foundry in West Troy, New York, and, from the west tower of "Old Main," it continues to sing out as the "voice of Wofford." The exterior of the building today is true to the original design, but the interior has been modernized and renovated three times — in the early 1900s, in the 1960s, and in 2007.
In the autumn of 1854, three faculty members and seven students took up their work. Admission was selective. Prospective students were tested on their knowledge of English, arithmetic, algebra and geography. They were also expected to demonstrate a knowledge of Latin and Greek classics, including Cicero, Caesar, the Aeneid, and Xenophon's Anabasis. The first Wofford degree was awarded in 1856 to Samuel Dibble, a future United States Congressman.
After an administration that was highly successful both educationally and financially, President Wightman resigned in 1859 to launch yet another Methodist college, Birmingham-Southern in Alabama. He was replaced by the Rev. Albert M. Shipp, a respected scholar who was immediately confronted with a devastating Civil War. Many students and young alumni, including two sons of faculty members, were killed in the great Virginia battles of 1862. Then, as Sherman approached Atlanta in 1864, the trustees invested their endowment funds in soon-to-be-worthless Confederate bonds and securities. (The college still has them in its vault.) The situation was really quite hopeless, but the physical plant remained intact and the professors remained at their posts. Given the disarray of education at all levels, South Carolina Methodists saw the mission of their colleges as more important than ever if a "New South" was to be created.
Shipp remained at the college through the Reconstruction period, and his emancipated slave Tobias Hartwell played a key role in Spartanburg's emerging African-American community. Nevertheless, Wofford's history from the end of the Civil War until 1900 was dominated by one man — James H. Carlisle. A member of the original faculty and then president of the college from 1875 through 1902, he initially taught mathematics and astronomy, but his real strength was his ability to develop alumni of character, one student at a time. Three generations of graduates remembered individual visits with President Carlisle in his campus home, now occupied by the dean of students. To them, he was "The Doctor;" "Wofford's spiritual endowment; " "the most distinguished South Carolinian of his day."
The curriculum gradually evolved during Carlisle's administration. For example, he shocked everyone by delivering his first presidential commencement address in English rather than Latin. Nevertheless, many lasting traditions of Wofford life date from his administration. Four surviving chapters of national social fraternities (Kappa Alpha, 1869; Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 1885; Kappa Sigma, 1891; and Pi Kappa Alpha, 1894) were chartered on the campus. Such organizations owned or rented houses in the village, because in those days, professors lived in college housing while students expected to make their own arrangements for room and board. To meet some of their needs, two students from the North Carolina mountains, Zach and Zeb Whiteside, opened and operated Wofford's first dining hall in Main Building. Although music was not part of the curriculum, there was an active glee club. Yankee soldiers in Spartanburg during Reconstruction apparently introduced college students to baseball, and Wofford and Furman University played South Carolina's first intercollegiate football game in 1889. That same year, a group of students organized one of the South's earliest literary magazines, The Journal. At commencements throughout the period, graduates sang the hymn, "From All That Dwell Below the Skies," and received a Bible signed by faculty members.
In 1895, delegates from 10 of the leading higher education institutions across the Southeast met in Atlanta to form the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The organization was conceived by Vanderbilt's Chancellor James H. Kirkland (Wofford Class of 1877), who hoped to challenge peer campuses to attain national standards of academic excellence. Trinity College in Durham, NC, which later emerged as Duke University under the presidential leadership of Wofford alumni John C. Kilgo and William Preston Few, also sent delegates. Wofford was represented by two of its outstanding young faculty members, A.G. "Knotty" Rembert (class of 1884) and Henry Nelson Snyder. Perhaps it the Wofford community's determination to meet the standards for accreditation that later inspired Snyder to turn down an appointment to the faculty at Stanford University to become Carlisle's successor as president. It was also true that Spartanburg was no longer a sleepy courthouse village — it had become a major railroad "hub city" and was surrounded by booming textile mills. Local civic leaders launched nearby Converse College, which combined liberal arts education for women with a nationally respected school of music. At Wofford, it no doubt seemed possible to dream bigger dreams.
The first decades of Snyder's long administration (1902-1942) were a time of tremendous progress. Main Building finally got electric lights and steam heat. Four attractive red-brick buildings were added to the campus — the Whitefoord Smith Library (now the Daniel Building); the John B. Cleveland Science Hall; Andrews Field House; and Carlisle Hall, a large dormitory. Driveways for automobiles were laid out on campus, and rows of water oaks and elms were planted. Wofford began to attract faculty members who were publishing scholarly books in their academic specialties. For example, David Duncan Wallace was the preeminent South Carolina historian of the day. James A. "Graveyard" Chiles published a widely used textbook, and he and his Wofford students founded the national honorary society for German studies, Delta Phi Alpha. The "Wofford Lyceum" brought William Jennings Bryan, Woodrow Wilson, and other guest speakers to the campus.
Although eight women graduated from Wofford in the classes of 1901-1904, the average enrollment in the early 20th century was about 400 men. The cornerstone of residential campus life was an unwritten honor code, for decades administered with stern-but-fair paternalism by the dean of the college, A. Mason DuPré. Modern student government began in 1909, and the first issue of a campus newspaper, the Old Gold & Black, appeared in 1915. World War I introduced Army officer training to the campus, and after the conflict came voluntary ROTC, one of the first such units to be approved at an independent college. Snobbery, drinking, dancing, and other alleged excesses contributed to an anti-fraternity "Philanthropean" movement among the students, and the Greek-letter organizations were forced underground for several years. A unique society called the "Senior Order of Gnomes" apparently owed its beginnings to a desire to emphasize and protect certain "old-fashioned" values and traditions associated with the college. Both intramural and intercollegiate sports were popular, with the baseball teams achieving the most prestige. The 1909 team adopted a Pit Bull Terrier ("Jack"), and he proved to be the inspiration for a permanent mascot.
In spite of all this progress and the wide respect he earned in national higher education circles, Snyder was able make little headway in strengthening Wofford's endowment, which was valued at less than $1 million. The college was painfully dependent on its annual support from the Methodist Church, which amounted to about one-fourth of the operating budget. This financial weakness became obvious when Southern farms prices collapsed in the 1920s and hard times intensified after the stock market crash of 1929. At the height of the Great Depression, some of the faculty worked without pay for seven months. Emergency economies and a special appeal to South Carolina Methodists were necessary, but by the end of the Snyder administration, the college was debt-free and its academic reputation was untarnished.
The return of financial stability made it possible for Wofford to claim a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa in 1941, the first time such recognition had been extended to an independent college in South Carolina. Soon after this happy occasion, however, the nation plunged into World War II. Wofford graduates served in the military in large numbers, many as junior combat officers or aviators. At least 75 alumni were killed. Wofford's enrollment was so drastically reduced that the Army took over the campus on February 22, 1943, to offer accelerated academic instruction for Air Corps officers. The faculty and 96 remaining Wofford students did their work at Spartanburg Junior College or at Converse.
After the war, under the stimulus of the G.I. Bill of Rights, enrollment suddenly shot up to 720 during 1947-48. This figure was almost twice the reasonable capacity of Wofford's facilities, already taxed by two decades of postponed maintenance. Surplus Army buildings from nearby Camp Croft had to be towed in. Compounding the challenge was the fact that South Carolina Methodists deferred any capital projects or strategic planning into the mid-1950s while they tried to decide if they should unify their colleges on a new, rural campus at the foot of the Blue Ridge. While the state's Baptists approved such a plan at Furman University, the Methodist institutions ultimately retained their historic identities and campuses.
The only alumnus to serve as president of Wofford, Dr. Walter K. Greene '03, thus suffered through a very stressful administration (1942-1951) that today is remembered primarily as a golden age for Terrier athletics. Under the coaching of Phil Dickens, the 1948 football team set a national record with five straight ties. Wofford then won 15 straight games before losing a Cigar Bowl match with Florida State. Another celebrated achievement was a 19-14 upset of Auburn to open the 1950 season. Dickens' teams were known for skillful operation of a single wing offense similar to that used at the University of Tennessee, as well as solid "Wofford Gold" uniforms, whose coppery color was so close to that of contemporary footballs that it created a nationwide controversy.
Born in the years immediately following World War II, the "Baby Boomers" began moving into elementary schools in the 1950s. During the presidential administrations of Francis Pendleton Gaines (1952-1957) and Charles F. Marsh (1958-1968), the Wofford community laid the foundations to serve this much larger college population.
Administration and finances needed the most immediate attention, and Gaines was fortunate to persuade Spartanburg textile executive Roger Milliken to join the Board of Trustees. He encouraged and helped finance reforms in the business office including "forward funding," a procedure where gift income for operations from a given calendar year (for example, 1958) was set aside in interest-bearing accounts and spent during the subsequent academic year (1959-60). This practice prevented a cycle of optimistic budgeting and frantic last minute appeals to alumni and Methodist churches. It helped keep tuition and fees increases throughout the period to a minimum.
Wofford also moved ahead with a series of important building projects that included a science building, the beautiful Sandor Teszler Library, and the first campus life center. Leaving the Italianate exterior intact, the college modernized the interior of Main Building. Four new residence halls built during this period took pioneering steps away from the prevailing barracks design and gave occupants a measure of privacy and comfort. Seven fraternity lodges were built on campus to unify and improve Greek life. The new buildings and improved financial management made it possible for the college to expand its enrollment to 1,000 men.
To teach this larger student body, the college worked hard to recruit outstanding faculty and provide better pay and benefits. Some legendary professors, such as Lewis P. Jones '38 in the history department, arrived a few years after the war. Philip S. Covington, who served as the college's academic dean during the 1950s and 1960s, displayed a remarkable knack for looking past a curriculum vitae to spot a great teacher. The story goes that he met the late geologist John Harrington on an airplane flight. Covington talked Harrington into coming to Wofford even though the college had no major in his subject and no plans to add one. "Dr. Rock" taught his famous bus-trip laboratories into the 1970s and changed the lives of dozens of students.
Despite these efforts, Wofford still was not really ready for the "Boomers" when they finally began arriving on campus in the late 1960s. As the distinguished sociologist Wade Clark Roof '61 has said, they were (and are) "a generation of seekers," inclined to ask tough questions and unwilling to accept arbitrary authority and institutions. While students did not doubt that administrators cared deeply about their welfare, they still squawked about a long list of rules, room inspections, and twice-a-week chapel assemblies. Even at this late date, freshmen wore beanies and were "ratted" by upperclassmen during their first weeks on campus. As one student remembered, "Frank Logan '41 (the dean of students) couldn't keep you from going straight to hell, but he could relentlessly harass you on your way down."
When President Paul Hardin III arrived on campus to begin his administration in 1968, he found few radicals and revolutionaries among the students, but he felt that major changes in residence life policies and programming were overdue. A new "Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities," guaranteed academic and political freedom for students and established a judicial process regulating campus behavior. Another committee drew up a constitution for a Campus Union that reorganized and sought to empower student government. Though there have been occasional embarrassments over the years, the policy of treating Wofford students as adults has proved to be healthy and wise. It has been a principle that the college has steadfastly defended, while at the same time taking steps to ensure that caring, personal attention is available to students when they need it. An effective campus ministry and serving-learning program in the United Methodist tradition undergirds this commitment.
The college also implemented curricular reforms to encourage faculty creativity and give students more choices. The 4-1-4 calendar and the Interim term permitted a student to spend the month of January working on a "project" of special interest. The Interim became a popular feature of the Wofford experience, particularly for career-related internships, independent research, and foreign travel. Wofford's first-year humanities seminars, pioneered in the 1970s, were copied at institutions large and small. Although a broad liberal arts core curriculum remained in place, pruning departmental requirements made it easier to double or even triple major. Students also were permitted to arrange interdisciplinary majors in the humanities or intercultural studies.
In the 1960s, Wofford also confronted its need to become a more inclusive community. This process has been evolutionary and remains ongoing. However, it is useful to recall how and why the college determined to transform itself from a campus devoted exclusively to the education of white males.
After observing a token but troubled period of racial desegregation at flagship universities across the South, the Wofford Board of Trustees in the spring of 1964 announced that applicants for admission henceforth would be considered without regard to race. Wofford thus became one of the first independent colleges across the "Cotton Belt" to take such a step voluntarily. Although it eventually became impossible to receive tax dollars for student aid and other purposes in the absence of such a policy statement, it was not clear at the time that income from public sources ever would be significant. Moreover, Wofford's church and other supporting constituencies were sharply divided on the issue. Good-faith gestures like this one by private institutions were vitally important as South Carolina struggled to steer a steady, progressive course through its Second Reconstruction.
Albert W. Gray of Spartanburg was one of several African-American men admitted to Wofford after the trustees' announcement, and he enrolled without incident in the fall of 1964. In general, while there were unquestionably some awkward and unpleasant moments, black students in those early years of desegregation found the atmosphere at Wofford to be better than the climate at large public universities. This positive beginning made Wofford a college of choice for many African-Americans as the process of desegregating public schools across the region picked up momentum.
There were a significant number of single-gender liberal arts colleges across the South in the 1960s. The men's colleges generally regarded their mission as producing professional and civic leaders of good character; many of the women's colleges focused on teacher education and the arts. In a rapidly changing world, such stereotyping was no longer appropriate, and the number of bright students willing to consider such options was naturally shrinking. Davidson, Washington & Lee, the University of the South, and Wofford cautiously moved to admit women. Residential coeducation at Wofford became a reality with the Class of 1980, and by mid 90s, women made up more than 45 percent of the student body. From the first, Wofford women were high achievers, winning more than their proportional share of academic honors and exercising effective leadership in campus organizations of every kind.
In 1972, having demonstrated his ability as a faculty member and in several administrative positions, Joab M. Lesesne Jr. replaced Hardin as Wofford's president, serving until he retired at the end of the 1999-2000 academic year. Some statistical comparisons may be instructive. In 1972, Wofford's endowment market value was $3.8 million; in 1999, it was approximately $90 million, thanks in part of a $13 million bequest from the estate of Mrs. Charles Daniel. The downtown campus doubled in size, and new structures included the Raines Center with its Tony White Theater and Benjamin Johnson Arena; the $6 million Franklin W. Olin Building, the Papadopoulos Buildings; the Roger Milliken Science Center; and three new fully networked residence halls. The college received national recognition as a "higher education best buy" and came to be listed in nearly all of the selective colleges guides.Since the early 1960s, Wofford had been struggling to find an athletic identity — the college's investment exceeded the norm for "good time sports," but it was insufficient to consistently attract the best student-athletes or improve national visibility. Aging facilities were painfully inadequate for a program that aspired to meet the recreational, intramural, and intercollegiate requirements of a larger, more diverse student body. Wofford carefully moved step-by-step from NAIA to membership in the Southern Conference, NCAA Division I. Meanwhile, the construction of the Richardson Physical Activities Building, Gibbs Stadium, and the Reeves Tennis Center allowed Spartanburg and Wofford to become the summer training camp home of the NFL's Carolina Panthers, founded and owned by Jerry Richardson '59.
When he became Wofford's 10th president in 2000, Dr. Benjamin Dunlap challenged the faculty to "make connections," combining its core curriculum with advanced and highly innovative opportunities for research, internships, and study abroad. Open Doors studies conducted by the Institute of International Education for Students consistently ranked Wofford in the top five of all colleges and universities in the nation in the percentage of students who studied and traveled abroad. Faculty earned national recognition in the development of multi-disciplinary learning communities. "The Novel Experience" for first-year students was ingeniously designed to emphasize the importance of making connections — across disciplines and between town and gown — beginning in the first week of a student's Wofford career. The Community of Scholars not only provided opportunities for sophisticated research, but also offered a summer-long residential community bridging both disciplines and differences of age and status. Similarly, Wofford's groundbreaking Success Initiative, working in multi-disciplinary, student-led teams, made connections between theory and problem solving. As an outward and visible equivalent of such intellectual adventures, the Wofford Village created an apartment-style housing option to renew personal relationships among seniors while further connecting them with lifestyles they planned to take up as they graduated and moved out into the world.
If William Wightman could return to the Wofford campus today, he undoubtedly would look with pride at his Main Building, freshly restored and renovated to serve new generations of 21st century students. He surely could relate to the Wofford woman of the Class of 1991 who wrote, "It is through Wofford that I found myself. And it is through the memories of my time there that my joys are intensified and my miseries are lessened. The majestic white building that I know as 'Old Main' is the harbor for my soul, and whenever I need strength, I call upon those twin towers to give it to me."Standing beneath the high towers, Wightman would also perceive roots that have grown continuously deeper since the college's beginning. Methodist Bishop William H. Willimon '68 is the former dean of the chapel at Duke University and the father of two recent Wofford graduates. He explained it this way: "Education is not buildings, libraries, or faculty with big books. It's people, the mystery of one person leading another as Virgil led Dante, as Athena led young Telemachus, to places never yet imagined, through thoughts impossible to think without a wise guide who has patience with the ignorance, and therefore the arrogance, of the young. Wofford and its faculty have a way to helping students believe in themselves — yet never to excess. I loved it all."
And so, the words that Professor K.D. Coates wrote for the Wofford Centennial in 1954 still ring true in the first decade of the third millennium: "Somehow, in spite of all the complexities, the individual student still manages to come in contact with the individual teacher. And occasionally too, as in the old days, a student goes out and by words and deeds makes a professor remembered for good intentions, and a college respected for the quality of its worksmanship."

Coach Al Golden spoke on the ACC Teleconference this afternoon, and said his "chief concern'' regarding quarterback Stephen Morris, who has been playing very well the past few games, is getting him healthy for the UNC Tar Heels (1-4, 0-2 ACC) on Oct. 17.
Morris sustained a deep right-ankle bruise against Savannah State on Sept. 21, and as of Saturday against Georgia Tech it was hurting him pretty badly. Golden said after the victory that Morris always reassured him that he was fine whenever the coach asked leading up to the game, but that he obviously wasn't.
"We've held him out the last few days,'' Golden said. "We're being more aggressive in the treatment schedule, which we can be because we're not working on North Carolina yet. He seems to be doing great, making a lot of progress.''
Then, Golden added: "I'm not taking Stephen for his word anymore. I'm going to make sure myself that he's OK. Hopefully we'll get him OK here in the next 48 hours or 72 hours and get him ready for game week. There is no question he's been playing good football for us.''
*** Wide receiver Rashawn Scott (shoulder/collarbone) is also "doing great,'' Golden said. "He's close. He's running routes full speed and doing all that. Whether he's able to take a hit yet, I don't know. But he's running routes and doing all the non-contact stuff and looks pretty good.''
*** North Carolina coach Larry Fedora said he'd grade the performance of backup quarterback Marquise Williams "a B-, C+ type of situation'' in UNC's loss against Virginia Tech. Usual starter Bryn Renner did not play after sustaining a foot injury Sept. 28 against East Carolina.
Williams, a third-year sophomore, completed 23 of 35 passes for 277 yards and two touchdowns, with two interceptions. He also ran for 56 yards. Renner has already said he wants to play against Miami.
"Every rep that you get in a live situation is very important to any player, whatever position, but especially at the quarterback position,'' Fedora said. "He will just get better from that in the future.''
Golden said he'll prepare for both.
"I would suspect Renner will be back,'' Golden said. "He's one of the best quarterbacks in the league, and he's had an awesome career. So I'm sure they're happy to get him healthy.
"But we're going to see both in the game, and we'll have to get ready for both.''
*** UNC tight end Jack Tabb, who started at linebacker last Saturday against Virginia Tech and played both ways, is suspended for the first half of the UM game.
He was ejected with 4 minutes left for throwing a punch during a kickoff return.
"My version of the play was that Jack was retaliating to something that happened on the play, which you can't do,'' Fedora said. "Jack made a bad personal decision, and you have to be able to keep your poise in a situation like that, and he didn't do that, and therefore he was punished by the rule. That's really all there is to it.''
Tabb had just returned from a two-game suspension for violating team rules.

The perfect really fast weight loss method has still to be discovered; many good methods do exist but it will depend on the user as to how effective any of these will ultimately be. There is more harm caused to an overweight person than just pride as many serious medical conditions are as a result of obesity.
Although there are many really fast weight loss systems available, especially over the Internet, the degree to which anyone sees results is down to how well they apply themselves to the problem. Losing weight can be for health reasons, self image reasons or both but whatever the reason, you must be sure that you're doing it for your benefit and not another person.
rapid weight loss, weight loss for men, herbal weight loss,
Many people forget that a number of factors must be included in any weight loss program from the amount of physical activity involved down to the type of food eaten, when, and how often. Many people have unrealistic expectations about how much weight they should lose every month but weight loss should not be rapid which can have a serious impact on your health.
To lose a realistic pound in weight each and every week all you need to do is reduce your food intake or exercise enough to loose 500 calories each day. Too many people are consuming large amounts of unhealthy food because they enjoy eating but there is no need to force-feed yourself just because you enjoy particular foodstuffs.
Emotions have a great deal to do with weight gain as many people (more likely women but not exclusively) eat more when they feel depressed, unwanted or unloved. The problem is that being overweight is the cause of many life threatening medical conditions including diabetes, heart problems, joint trouble and cancer. One of the first steps in really fast weight loss is assessing why the person is actually eating the amount they do as this can be the key to long term weight management.
All that said it has been shown that it is actually beneficial for the person using a weight loss program to be light-hearted about it as the mental attitude makes losing weight more likely. This type of attitude is good for a person in all walks of life as it provides the person with a positive mind frame. Losing weight is known to provide us with more energy and allows us to carry out tasks that those extra pounds do not permit, which can all lead to improved self confidence.
Many really fast weight loss programs are far from it as they actually test the person using them but the pain barrier does not last long and once through it, the whole system becomes more pleasant.

University of Colorado officials are still planning to remain in the Big 12 Conference through the 2011-12 school year and join the Pac-12 Conference two years from now as originally announced in June.
"That is our plan and that is what we are working on," athletic director Mike Bohn told the Camera today.
It has been assumed by many that Colorado would leave the Big 12 a year early and join the Pac-12 in 2011 at the same time Utah is slated to begin competing in the league and coinciding with Nebraska's departure to the Big Ten Conference.
However, CU and Big 12 officials appear to be having trouble reaching an agreement on the financial terms of the school's exit from the league under that scenario. So Colorado officials appear to be content to remain in the Big 12 until 2012. CU Chancellor Phil DiStefano is handling the negotiations with the Big 12.
CU gave the Big 12 two years' notice of its intention to leave the league back in June, meeting the criteria spelled out in Big 12 bylaws. The Buffs would have to forfeit 50 percent of conference distributions for those two years.
Nebraska and Utah made their conference realignment announcements after CU, leading to speculation about the Buffs speeding up the time line for their move by a year. Big 12 bylaws require schools to forfeit 80 percent of conference distributions with just one year notice of an intention to leave.
Big 12 officials have publicly quoted the 80 percent as the total CU will owe almost from the beginning, despite the fact the Buffs gave two years' notice.
Nebraska Chancellor Harvey Perlman has said he doesn't believe departing schools owe the Big 12 any money.
Big 12 spokesman Bob Burda was not immediately available for comment.
The Pac-12 has agreed to help CU with some of the cost to switch leagues, but millions can be saved by simply remaining in the Big 12 an extra year. Colorado officials have estimated they could forfeit between $9 million and $14.5 million in conference distributions.
Bohn acknowledged the school is proceeding as if it will be in the Big 12 until 2012 during an interview regarding a nonconference game at Ohio State next season that has been finalized. The Camera was first to report a game against the Buckeyes was in the works.
The Buffs will earn $1.4 million from Ohio State to play in Ohio Stadium on Sept. 24 next season. CU will earn additional revenue for the contest under the Big 12 revenue distribution plan because ESPN already has committed to televise the game nationally.
Bohn said CU also is planning to play 13 regular season games in football in 2011, including a trip to Hawaii to start the season. The NCAA allows any team playing a nonconference game in Hawaii to schedule a 13th game in that season.
Colorado originally scheduled a home game against Fresno State for Sept. 24 next year, but that game has been rescheduled for Oct. 8. Bohn said there are some uncertainties about the 2011 schedule at this point because he is waiting for Big 12 officials to determine a conference schedule for an 11-team league.
"We're waiting for further direction from the Big 12 on how many games will be incorporated into the conference schedule for 2011," Bohn said.
It remains a possibility that a deal could be reached allowing CU to leave the Big 12 in 2011, but a large gap must be closed in the disagreement amount how much the Buffs will have to pay to do so.

NEW YORK – Jan. 18, 2012 – JPMorgan Chase announced today that it has achieved the highest possible rating, LEED® Platinum, from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) for the renovation of its global headquarters at 270 Park Avenue in Manhattan, making it the world's largest renovation project to achieve Platinum status.
In the United States, existing buildings contribute 50 to 80 percent of urban greenhouse gas emissions, according to the Building Owners and Managers Association. The renovation will allow the 50-story building to cut its electricity consumption in half compared to pre-renovation levels. In addition, the building will save more than 1 million gallons of water a year by installing new, highly efficient systems and an innovative draining and filtering system.
"This was the largest 'green' renovation of a headquarters building in the world, and we completed it while operating in the building," said Frank Bisignano, JPMorgan Chase's Chief Administrative Officer and CEO of Mortgage Banking. "We are extremely proud of the improvements made at 270 Park, which will substantially cut consumption and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Achieving LEED Platinum status is not just a source of pride, it is very sound business."
Earning the Platinum rating meant upgrading and modernizing every system and feature in the 50-year-old building – from heating, air conditioning and lighting, to insulation, plumbing fixtures, flooring and outside views – all while the building remained occupied. To minimize disruptions, an average of 400 construction workers a day completed the renovation in phases, working on up to 10 floors at a time. "With each new LEED-certified building, we get one step closer to USGBC's vision of a sustainable built environment for everyone within a generation," said Rick Fedrizzi, President, CEO and Founding Chair, U.S. Green Building Council. "The work of innovative, forward-thinking building projects such the Park Avenue headquarters of JPMorgan Chase is a fundamental driving force in the green building movement." LEED Platinum certification of JPMorgan Chase's global headquarters was based on a number of green design and construction features, including:

Six Things to Know about the June 12, 2018, Primary Election in Loudoun
Loudoun County will conduct a Democratic and Republican primary election on Tuesday, June 12, 2018. Here are six things for voters to know ahead of time.
1. Know When to Vote

Voters may also look up their polling place and related information online at
3. Watch for School Buses and Students on Election Day
"School will be in session on June 12, so we want to remind voters to watch for buses and students on Election Day when entering and exiting the voting locations," said General Registrar Judy Brown. "We have worked with Loudoun County Public Schools to obtain voting spaces with outside entrances for voters which will limit access to other areas of the school. Wherever this was not possible, staff will monitor the entrance and ensure voters go directly to the voting area and exit after voting. We are working together with school officials to ensure the safety of all children on Election Day."

My photoshop of the "Miss me yet?" Bush billboard has gotten a lot of attention in the blogosphere (thanks, Michelle!) and I keep seeing comments like this:
"I wish someone with enough money would actually put up a billboard like that on the beltway in D.C." (source)
"What do you say to pooling our money and putting up that Constitutional billboard in D.C.?" (source)
"WOW. Me too! How can we make it happen? I'm definitely in." (source)
"I'll pitch in to put one up!" (source)"I would too." (source)
"...that would be genius plastered all over the country!" (source)
Well I'd love to put up a billboard like that, but unfortunately I can't just print up money like the government whenever I want to pay for something, so if you want to take the message out to the streets without breaking the bank, get your "Miss Me Yet?" Constitution Merchandise today, and remind this country what it's missing.
Thanks so much for helping spread this meme: Left Coast Rebel, The Union News, Daily Danet, Freedom Fighter's Journal, Pixie Place, What We Think and Why, American Digest, Radio Vice Online, The Camp of the Saints, and if I missed you- let me know! There's always plenty of love to go around.
With Liberty Love,
Wes Messamore
PS: I would like to see this kind of honesty out of the Democrats about Obama's lackluster (to say the least) administration. The conservative blogosphere has resoundingly proven wrong the Democrats' claim that they are a bunch of partisan hacks.
It's not Bush they miss, or a Republican in office- it's the Constitution, it's our liberties, it's the rule-of-law. And if Democrats earnestly miss civil liberties, transparency, and a more humble foreign policy- they had better start speaking up, because they're not getting any of it from Obama.

Go Figure!™
Grow a Love of Math with Go Figure!™
Throughout this discovery-filled exhibit, five popular children's books are brought to life in gigantic reproductions of the artists' original illustrations. Inside each large-scale book, visitors find an attached copy of the featured book, a math based interactive relating to the book's narrative, and tips for parents on supporting their child's early explorations of math concepts.
Visitors notice, focus, and explore the mathematical dimensions of our world including counting, sorting, patterning, measuring, observing, comparing and sequencing.
Go Figure! is based on five popular children's books: Arthur's Pet Business by Marc Brown, The Doorbell Rang by Pat Hutchins, The Quilt by Ann Jonas, Frog and Toad are Friends: A Lost Buttonby Arnold Lobel, and Goldilocks and the Three Bears by James Marshall.

August 13, 2017, 1:00 PM - September 24, 2017, 5:00 PM
Burlington, Iowa artist, James Walker Henry, will open an exhibition in the Musser House gallery at the Muscatine Art Center on August 13, 2017. For the last thirty-five years, Henry has created over five hundred surreal works of art that address social and political issues. He explores current events and ideas through paint and brush. He was first introduced to surrealist artists and the style of surrealism while taking art history courses. Henry studied at Burlington's Southeast Community College where studio art instructors helped him further develop his artistic technique.
