GPSolo Magazine - April/May 2004
It's Your Business
It's your business to know your client's business, even if you aren't the client's business lawyer. If your client has any kind of medical history, works for a living, volunteers with the Red Cross, or just sits around all day long in front of the computer, the client will have some business law issues that you never may have considered. Your client doesn't have to be CEO of the Widget Factory to have business law questions that you'll need to answer. Even an ordinary, run-of-the-mill family law client is apt to present business law questions.
It's amazing how much about a client's business lawyers learn on the job. And from our clients. Never hesitate to ask a client about some aspect of the business—even if it's as simple a question as "How is a widget made?" It's not as if you're asking for insider information or the secret formula for Coca-Cola. Read a few of your client's trade publications. When I practiced in southwest Iowa, Veterinary Economics and Farm Journal were as essential to my practice as the ABA Journal.
When was the last time you made a house call to your client's place of business? Meeting with a client on his or her home ground can provide valuable insight into the client's business—and impress the client. Obviously, this may not be practicable if your client works at the local nuclear power plant, and maybe it's not comfortable if your client works at the county morgue. Visiting the client's business can open new doors to additional business from that client or the client's employees. And it gets you out of the office for some fresh air.
This issue, themed "The Client's Business," is among the most interesting we've published. Trying to frame a slate of articles that present the business-related topics most frequently faced by general, solo, and small firm practitioners was a tough task, but our issue editor, Judy Toyer, counsel for employment law and personnel relations at Eastman Kodak Company in Rochester, New York, did an outstanding job of seeking out the experts in the field to write and put the polish on the issue, reprising her success from the April/May 2002 issue ("How to Get the Job Done").
From the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) to nonprofits, employment law, venture capital, leases, business formation and appraisals, to software licensing and getting a piece of the action, there's something in this issue that will appeal to every reader. Whether you're a business lawyer representing a firm whose stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange or a rural practitioner whose clients trade livestock, this issue has something for you. Even if it's only for your own business.
Have you searched your office library for a back issue of GPSolo, trying to get your hands on that article you read years ago about widgets? Look no further. Past issues of GPSolo and its predecessor versions are now online at www.abanet.org/genpractice/magazine/index.html.
What's in store for upcoming issues of GPSolo? The June issue of the Technology and Practice Guide will be all about the Digital Litigator. Jeffrey Allen and his team have been hard at work bringing you some genuine surprises. And "We Are a Team," the July/August issue, will focus upon how teamwork can work for lawyers. On the horizon, we're bringing you issues that will address the bumps in the road, the military, collections, reinventing your law practice, and professionalism and ethics. I think you'll find GPSolo filled with information that just can't be found anyplace else.
Jennifer J. Rose, editor-in-chief of GPSolo, is a lawyer and writer living in Morelia, Michoacán, Mexico. She can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Until this week, the Democratic primary in the 9th Congressional District had been a low-key affair, lacking the blistering fireworks of the Republican contest.
That ended with a flurry of unusually personal attacks by one candidate.
Christian Cano took aim at rival Dan McCready when the two met at a Thursday night forum sponsored by the Black Political Caucus.
Cano called McCready "privileged and elitist" and accused the former Marine combat veteran of "cowardice" for not speaking up on issues.
Sign up today for a free 30 day free trial of unlimited digital access.
Ninth Congressional district candidate Christian Cano added to the tension with his opponent Dan McCready on Thursday, April 5, 2018 when he restated his earlier statements attacking McCready following the Charlottesville, Va. tragedy. Jeff SinerJeff Siner
"I expected lies and attacks in the Republican primary and the general election," McCready responded. "I did not expect it from a fellow Democrat. The problem in our country today is folks like yourself, Mr. Cano, who are dividing our country."
Replied Cano: "I consider him a Republican, so I don't consider it running against another Democrat."
The exchange came as the Democrats vie for the seat held by Republican Rep. Robert Pittenger in the district that stretches from southeast Charlotte to Fayetteville.
The 9th is one of at least two Republican-held districts in North Carolina that Democrats believe they can flip. On Friday, the Cook Political Report became the latest ratings agency to label the district as leaning, not "likely Republican," a move in Democrats' favor. Nationally Democrats need to net 24 seats to win a House majority.
Both Pittenger and primary opponent Mark Harris, a former Charlotte pastor who lost the 2016 primary by 134 votes, have traded attacks in TV ads, with both accusing the other of lying. Clarence Goins of Cumberland County also is in the race.
The heated GOP primary has virtually obscured the contest between the two Charlotte Democrats.
The 34-year-old McCready, who co-owns a solar energy business, has attracted national attention for his fundraising and a resume that has drawn comparisons to that of Pennsylvania Democrat Conor Lamb, a former Marine who last month won a special election in a heavily Republican district.Notice:

The red lentils in this dish give the soup a creamy texture and the spices work perfectly together to give it a kick on a cold day. This protein packed soup is ideal for a pre or post workout meal and the kale gives it an added protein punch, whilst also getting your greens in for the day.

A group of enthusiasts at Bletchley Park, the top secret wartime codebreaking base, have rebuilt a primitive computing device used in the Second World War to help the Allies listen in on U-boat conversations. It was called 'the Bombe'.
Professor Nigel Smart
, Head of
nike roshe run grey39s properties
and an expert on cryptography tells us more.
The Bombe didn't help win the war destructively like its explosive name-sakes but using intelligence. It was designed to find the passwords or 'keys' into the secret codes of 'Enigma': the famous encryption machine used both by the German army in the field and to communicate to U-Boats in the Atlantic. It effectively allowed the English to listen in to the German's secret communications.
A Bombe is an electro-mechanical special purpose computing device. 'Electro-mechanical' because it works using both mechanics and electricity. It works by passing electricity through a circuit. The precise circuit that is used is modified mechanically on each step of the machine by drums that rotate. It used a set of rotating drums to mirror the way the Enigma machine used a set of discs which rotated when each letter was encrypted. The Bombe is a 'special purpose' computing device rather than a 'general purpose' computer because it can't be used to solve any other problem than the one it was designed for.
There are many explanations of why it's called a 'Bombe'. The most popular is that it is named after an earlier, but unrelated, machine built by the Polish to help break Enigma called the Bomba. The Bomba was also an electro-mechanical machine and was called that because as it ran it made a ticking sound, rather like a clock-based fuse on an exploding bomb.
The Enigma machine used a different main key, or password, every day. It was then altered slightly for each message by a small indicator sent at the beginning of each message. The goal of the codebreakers at Bletchley Park each day was to find the German key for that day. Once this was found it was easy to then decrypt all the day's messages. The Bombe's task was to find this day key. It was introduced when the procedures used by the Germans to operate the Enigma changed. This had meant that the existing techniques used by the Allies to break the Enigma codes could no longer be used. They could no longer crack the German codes fast enough by humans alone.

Oxfam response to G8 on climate change, aid and trade
On Climate Change
Antonio Hill, Oxfam spokesperson, said: "The G8 might have agreed to avoid cooking the planet by more than two degrees, but they made no attempt to turn down the heat any time soon.
"It is disappointing that G8 leaders are ignoring what they must do now to limit warming below 2 degrees. This limit commits the G8 to follow the science which is good. But 2050 is too far off to matter -- poor people are being hit today. We must see emissions cuts of at least 40% by 2020 and G8 money to help the poorest countries cope with climate chaos.
"Unless the G8 come up with at least $150 billion to help poor countries adapt to the killer effects of climate change and to stop things getting any worse there will be no deal in Copenhagen in December. Brown has led the way by recognizing the scale of what is needed and the rest of the G8 must follow his lead."
On Development, Aid and Trade
On failure to meet aid promises
Emma Seery, Oxfam spokesperson, said: "The buck stops here. The failure of the G8 to deliver the $50 billion in aid promised to poor countries is a crisis of credibility which will cost 3 million lives. What is the G8 for if they will not show leadership to save the lives of millions? They have two days left to show us their emergency plan to meet their broken promise."
On the economic crisis hitting poor countries
Jeremy Hobbs, Oxfam International executive director, said: "Because of the economic mess caused by the G8's irresponsible financial management, economic growth in Africa in 2009 will drop from 7% to 1% which will cost them $245 billion dollars. Their failure to deliver promised aid amounts to criminal negligence. It is like pushing someone into dangerous waters and then refusing to save them.
"There may be some green shoots in the rich world, but the pain in the poorest countries is getting worse by the day. This economic crisis in poor countries is a matter of life and death."
So far rich countries have found a staggering 8.4 trillion to bail out banks- 70 times global aid levels.
On Resumption of the Doha Round
Jeremy Hobbs, Oxfam International executive director, said: "Restarting Doha is important, but the deal currently on the table will not deliver for poor countries. Any new trade negotiations require a new deal that puts the poorest first.
"It's become an annual tradition for the G8 to talk about the importance of finishing the trade round – but that is all it is – talk."
On Food
Gawain Kripke, Oxfam spokesperson, said: "Ending hunger should be on the G8 menu in Italy. Leaders must put new money on the table to improve agriculture and reverse the trend of increasing global hunger.
"Funding commitments should be specific and clarify what is new money rather than existing or reallocated. Playing accounting games with hunger is not funny.
"We already know that around 9 of the $13 billion they disbursed since January 2008 to tackle the food crisis, was nothing more than recycled cash. This is unacceptable with more than 1 billion people are going hungry. This G8 must not be business as usual, and take urgent action."

Solons Upset Falcons 1-0
NEWPORT– The Falcon field hockey girls, despite not playing at their best, should have picked up an easy win over the Solons of Montpelier. Instead, they were unable to to get their offense going and fell by the score of 1-0."I thought this wasn't our game, honestly I am at a lost for words," said Coach Bouchard after the game.The Falcons clearly were the better team on the field, and that is even with all the errors that they made, but it was the little things that bothered the coach so much."Moving our feet, moving the ball around a player instead of sticking our stick into theirs. We had a lot of hacking and a lot of foot (contact), and we had a lot of obstructions."With NC not running at one-hundred percent, the Solons still could only manage to score one goal, that coming off the stick of Jaye Grundy with 11:33 left in the first half.Falcon netminder Danielle Gabucci had six saves while the players in front of her put seven shots on the Montpelier net.The Falcons will hit the practice field today in order to get ready for Tuesday's 4:00 showdown with Rice where they will look to go 2-1 on the homestand.

Convocation 2008
I. Welcome and Introductions
Good afternoon everyone, and welcome to convocation 2008.
Staff, faculty, students, thank you for coming. I would like to welcome those who are participating from our rural sites via audio conference or streamed audio.
Community members who have come to campus today, thank you. I hope you will come visit us often.
I am excited to share with you my vision of where UAF needs to go, during the next two years while I serve as your interim chancellor.
I'd like to begin by introducing some people in the audience. First, I'd like to introduce my life partner and wife, UAF alumna Sherry Modrow. Her life also changed dramatically as we made the decision to serve as interim chancellor. I am blessed with her counsel and friendship. We are a team that takes great pride in being able to contribute to this unique, incredible institution. With our eldest son also a UAF graduate, for us UAF is not only a family affair, but a family passion.
Next, I would like to recognize UAF's three governance leaders, --- Faculty Senate President Marsha Sousa, Staff Council President Juella Sparks, and ASUAF President Brandon Meston. As we all know, university governance is a shared responsibility, and I look forward to working with all three governance groups and their leadership.
I'll be talking in just a few minutes about this summer's transition teams and the work they did to provide guidance for the next two years, but first I would like to recognize and thank Charles Fedullo for his work coordinating the efforts and Michael Walsh with the Foraker Group for his work chairing the transition team steering committee.
I'd also like to have anyone here who participated in the transition team process stand up and be recognized. Thank you for your efforts to help us grow and improve UAF.
This has been a great summer for me, as I came back to UAF. Nearly four decades ago, I came to what was then the University of Alaska as a student. But this place had the effect on me then that it still has now. UAF is about people, community and a "can do" spirit that just doesn't exist in a lot of places today.
Over the years I've experienced UAF from many different perspectives – as a student, lemonade vendor, staff member, adjunct faculty, legislator, statewide administrator, regent, consultant, sometimes critic, and community supporter.UAF has been an important part of my life. It is exciting to have the opportunity to use what I have learned over the years to lead UAF. I've learned that there's always something new and interesting at UAF, always an opportunity to learn more about this diverse university. Sometimes, though, I feel like we're in Lake Wobegon – a shy university, afraid to tell the world about all the great things we do. We have a great story to tell. And I am humbled that I get to help you all tell it.
I had the chance this summer to participate in our two signature K-12 bridging programs – the Rural Alaska Honors Institute and the Alaska Summer Research Academy. These two are among nearly three dozen summer programs designed to connect young Alaskans to UAF.
I sat in on portions of this year's Permafrost Conference, and saw how our quality research programs contribute to a worldwide effort to understand the effects of climate change on the northern environment. I received numerous follow-up messages on what a great job the UAF conference team did in preparing for it.
A week ago I joined with deans and faculty working on improvements to the UAF Honors Program, looking to create a program worthy of Alaska's first university.
I had the chance last week to meet with the accreditation team leader for the UAF social work program, and to hear from her that this is the smoothest accreditation visit she's ever had.
And just yesterday I had watched a demonstration that Google and the faculty from the geography program at the School of Natural Resources and Agricultural Sciences are bringing to Barrow school teachers and students today, and then to Kotzebue and Nome, to extend the teaching of geography in the K-12 system. They built a partnership based on creative work at the Alaska Volcano Observatory here at UAF, work that was recognized by Google as leading edge in use of technology.
These are just a few examples out of dozens where UAF stands out.
The theme of this year's convocation is, quite simply, "First."
What do I mean by that? Well, I mean a couple of things.
"First" refers to areas of accomplishment; celebrating areas where we have been recognized as being the best at what we do, whether it's being named "Best in the West" by the Princeton Review, our Emmy-award-winning public television and radio station, our students winning top honors in a worldwide mathematical contest in modeling, or our nationally recognized chapter of the American Indian Science and Engineering Society.
"First" also refers to historical significance, recognizing the fact that UAF is Alaska's first university --- the true flagship institution of the UA system --- and understanding the special responsibility that brings.
"First" also has to do with priorities, and it is our priority areas that are my focus today. Three themes came out of the transition team process. If we follow them, we will position ourselves for unparalleled success for the people and communities we serve.
II. Put People First
The first theme is the simple notion of putting people first. It is focusing on the people we serve – for faculty and staff, serving our students. For staff, it's supporting our faculty and other employees.
If we put people first, we provide the kind of service our communities expect.
There are many examples in this room and of those listening remotely of people putting others first. A recent example is the Rev It Up program, where I saw staff, faculty and students working together to truly welcome more than 600 new students to UAF. Every one that day worked together, often outside their normal work assignments, to ensure a success to our new students.
My favorite example of putting people first can be found with Einar Often. Einar is a member of the UAF cross-country ski team, and during a regional championship last March in Minneapolis, he did something remarkable. He put sportsmanship and competitive spirit above finishing first.
After Einar offered his pole to Ray, Ray went on to finish eighth and qualify for the NCAA championship. Einar finished 23rd, which qualified him as a spectator. But he's getting a medal of a different nature – Einar was selected from 80,000 student athletes across the country as one of two recipients of the NCAA Division II Sportsmanship of the Year Award. Einar is here today, and I'd like to ask him to stand. Please join me in congratulating him for his award.
When I talk about "Putting People First" I don't expect you all to take to the ski trails. But I do expect you to hold me to a promise of putting you first. And I expect you to hold one another to a promise of putting each other first. It is all of us that make UAF the unique, inspirational place it is. But it is up to all of us to make the coming years even better than the nine decades before.
There are plenty of opportunities to follow Einar's philosophy. We all have our own area of strength to help those struggling. I want each of us – UAF students, staff and faculty – to be ready to lend a ski pole when it's needed.
Here are some initiatives we have underway that I see following the "Put People First" theme.
- We're starting a "Family Friendly" task force to look for ways that UAF as an employer can recognize the needs of our employee's families. The special focus of this task force will be on child care needs in Fairbanks, but there is much more we can do to recognize that healthy employees need to be able to balance work and family commitments.
- For students, we will adopt a "no wrong door" policy – When a student needs assistance, rather than sending him or her from office to office like a ping pong ball we must all pitch in to find the right place to help that student.
- It starts with creating a "one stop shop" in Signers and Eielson to make those two buildings and the services they provide, more user friendly to students.
- The UA Office of Instructional Technology (OIT) has partnered with the office of Faculty Development to establish a Center for Faculty Excellence to develop and enhance teaching and learning with technology.
- For staff we are kicking off a new supervisor training program – with the goal that the 400 plus supervisors who work for UAF have the skills necessary to help our people and UAF grow and get better;
- The Wellness Initiative Network, a wellness program that provides screening, individualized health planning and wellness support for all employees will start this fall.
- Thanks to our development office, and to the generous support of donors, we have seen dramatic increases in giving the last couple of years. I meet tomorrow with the Rasmuson Fisheries Excellence Committee, donors and supporters who are helping UAF step up its fisheries undergraduate education and research opportunities. And a good deal of new money is going toward scholarships that have helped more students go to school here, stay in school here, or graduate with less student debt.
- I would like to thank all of the people who are working on these projects, and on other initiatives, that Put People First. If we put people first the second theme will come easy.
III. Engage Our Communities
"Engage Our Communities."
This is not just a priority, but also a responsibility. It's part of what we do as a land grant university. Since 1862, public universities have had an important role in supporting the communities in which they live.
The social compact today is that land grant universities provide service to their communities, and in exchange, their states help pay some of the cost of higher education.
There are numerous ways UAF faculty and staff are actively engaged with the community, and one of the leaders in that endeavor is the Alaska Cooperative Extension Service. Here's Pete Pinney, interim dean of CES:
I want to emphasize that I am talking about engaging our communities. For those of us on the main campus, it's easy to think about only Fairbanks, where we have the main campus, Tanana Valley Campus and the Interior-Aleutians Campus but our reach is much broader than that, spreading out to all areas of Alaska:
- Our four rural campuses…
- Our CRCD learning centers…
- Our off-campus research stations…
- Cooperative Extension Service…
- the Marine Advisory Program…
- …other off-campus academic programs…
- and the communities throughout the entire state we serve through the Center for Distance Education.
That's why I keep reminding people that we are U-A-F, and not just UF – we serve all of Alaska, and beyond.
For my part, engaging the community means bringing more people onto campus – and ensuring they can find parking, feel a part of UAF and want to come back. It means being a part of community issues and decisions, even if they don't directly bear on UAF.
I ask that you consider how you can engage your community – by offering to speak at local schools, participating in the civic life of the community, supporting local economic development.
Community engagement also means reaching out to lend a helping hand. Giving to the United Way is a great way to reach community members in need. United Way of the Tanana Valley has just started its fundraising drive, so consider giving of your time and money to help a good cause.
To me, community engagement goes beyond the traditional definition of "public service," where universities transmit the knowledge we have. Engagement means listening and responding to community needs, and building the knowledge the communities need.
In the short term, I will be establishing a primary point of contact for UAF to work with me to better integrate UAF's economic development activities with the Fairbanks, Interior and Western Alaska communities. We need to define what economic development means for UAF and partner with our communities to see how to best move forward.
I am re-energizing the UAF Board of Visitors and establishing a Fairbanks Campus Advisory Council to better connect to our communities. We will host a Fairbanks campus open house this spring, and begin a "campus in the community" service day for university staff and faculty who wish to participate.
Finally, I have asked the Faculty Senate to begin a conversation on how to better recognize faculty for the community engagement portion of their public service role. I believe that with the exception of the CES unit standards, we do not adequately recognize community service in our promotion and tenure process. Our record for community service is strong. But we must do better. Part of engaging our communities is showing Fairbanks and all of Alaska the great things we do.
We can't just talk of what we do and what we need. We must listen and allow our priorities to merge with those of the communities in Alaska we serve. More dialogue with community leaders on how the university fits in is a must. UAF can lend creativity and an open mind to work with partners in Alaska.
We will be about solving problems and getting to yes, not creating obstacles and roadblocks.
I'm convinced– if all of us engage our communities and provide valuable services the return will be better support and more success for our community and our university. Success in this area starts with my third theme.
IV. Make Responsible Decisions
It's about action, about not being bound by "the way we've always done it." It is being willing to take risks to accomplish our missions.
I'm asking you to make responsible decisions by taking risks and doing new things. When you look around campus for a risk taker who does new things on a regular basis, I think you'll agree that you couldn't ask for a finer example than Michelle Bartlett.
Michelle was bold enough to commit UAF to staging a live broadcast of "Whad'ya Know" on KUAC-FM, which, by the way, was so successful she's doing it again in 2009. She pushed the envelope to get in-state tuition for all summer students, which was so successful that out-of-state enrollments went up by 400 percent. Michelle Bartlett is the consummate responsible rebel at UAF, and I'd like her to stand and be recognized.
Making responsible decisions means "question authority" when the authority doesn't make sense, and we should always be willing to change, to adapt to 21st century ways of doing things when the 20th century methods no longer work.
Now I'm not asking you to take unnecessary risks, or to jeopardize people's safety, or to fail to comply with federal or state laws. What I am asking is that our campus administrative culture be less risk-averse, that rather than saying "no, you can't do that," the answer should be "well, you can't do it that way, but here's a solution that meets your needs."
Sometimes it seems like change at UAF is an uphill battle. And maybe it is. But after watching the Nanook cross-country runners at the Ester Dome 5k earlier this month, I know that it is possible to finish a race even when it's uphill all the way.
To initiate responsible change, and following up on the transition team process, we've taken a few steps. Many of you are probably aware of the summer free parking experiment. I will be following up with the creation of a Parking Advisory Committee to look at other ways we can work to improve the issue we all love to hate.
You probably know about the Polar Express Card as a borough bus pass. I am appointing a Sustainability Task Force to recommend and implement other ways we can reduce energy use and improve sustainability – here in Fairbanks and throughout the UAF campuses.
Through the transition, I heard repeatedly about concerns with the UAF human resource process. I've appointed an acting HR director, and we will be recruiting shortly for a permanent director, adding new talent to this critical support function. We must do more to support our departments in this area and we will provide HR with the tools to get the job done right.
We're working on establishment of a research business office, on the West Ridge, to provide administrative services support to the special needs of the research community.
CRCD is working on implementation of online registration for its campuses, to allow those students with good connectivity to use these tools, without cutting off those students whose connectivity is still poor.
These are a few of the changes we have underway. Through the transition website and other means of communication, I will keep you posted on our progress, so you can hold me and my administration accountable to our pledge of responsible action.
I'd also like to foster an environment on campus where people aren't afraid to ask the questions that need to be asked. To that end I'm pleased to announce today that we are launching a new website at UAF called "The Grapevine."
The purpose of "The Grapevine" is part communication, and part rumor control. You can email questions; our marketing and communications office will find the answers and post them on "The Grapevine." I hope it's a fun way to improve internal communications at UAF.
V. FY10 Budget
This year's budget process for the university system follows a new model, designed to foster cooperation among the three universities. I am including more detail on the budget process than in past convocation presentations because throughout the transition process, most committees asked that more detail be made available.
There were six planning groups, covering health, engineering, teacher education, workforce development, student success, and research. The planning groups developed packages in each of the areas, submitting prioritized lists. At the same time, each of the universities submitted our prioritized lists for programs in and outside the planning groups.
The president and chancellors then discussed the issues and developed a combined budget request, which will be presented in draft form to the Board of Regents on Thursday.
This is only the first step in the process; the Board will take final action at the end of October, and then the governor will submit a proposal to the legislature in December.
The top system priorities in the operating budget request are:
- K-12 outreach and bridging programs, like the Alaska Summer Research Academy and the Interior-Aleutians campus early college high school initiative, and special education teacher preparation;
- Energy, engineering and climate programs, including the Alaska Center for Energy and Power, Cooperative Extension Service and energy outreach, and faculty to support instruction and research in engineering and climate change;
- Health and biomedical research and instruction, including support for UAF's IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence and veterinary services programs, the UAF psychology clinic, allied health at TVC and rural human services faculty;
- Workforce development, including faculty support at the Tanana Valley, Northwest and Interior-Aleutians campuses; and
- Campus-specific programs, in our case emphasizing the new Ph.D in Indigenous Studies and strengthening the honors program and undergraduate research.
And as is always the case, we didn't get everything we wanted in the operating budget request, but if we're successful in Juneau with this request it will allow us to move forward on these priority programs.
As I mentioned earlier, it's our engagement with the communities we serve that will make the difference in how successful we are in getting state support for what we do. I think our focus on these key areas – energy, climate change, health and biomedical research, workforce development and indigenous studies – demonstrates our attention to the issues and needs of our communities.
Our capital budget request is significantly changed from last year, with some new approaches.
As has been the case for years, our top priority is fixing what we already have – code corrections and major renewal and replacement projects.
Our top priority for new construction is for life sciences research and instructional facilities – the project formerly known as BIOS. While the BIOS plan remains the best solution to provide critical space for biological and life sciences, it's clear that we've failed to get support from the legislature for this project, so we're trying plan B. Or maybe it's plan C or D by now.
The current plan, is to construct two buildings, one funded by the state for instruction and one by revenue bonds for research. We lose some of the benefits of the co-location of research and instructional space, but gain time in meeting the need for critical research facilities. There will be ample time for further discussion about just how to proceed on this top priority, but I will be taking the message to the Alaska community on how our life sciences research and instructional programs provide benefits to Alaskans, to help make the case for this top priority.
Second on our priority list is a similar project for energy and engineering research and instruction space, with a revenue-bond funded research facility and state-funded addition to the Duckering Building.
Third on our list, but held for a year with other campuses projects, is new student housing. This is a significant move up the priority list, to recognize that the current UAF dormitories, built 40 years ago, no longer meet the needs of our students. Over the next year, we will work on planning and design of new housing facilities for students.
The final new construction project is planning and design for a new fire hall and firefighter training center, to replace the current fire hall, which – can you believe it? – doesn't meet fire code.
A new approach in the capital budget that we're trying for the first time is a request for specific research projects. Following our theme of focusing on state needs for energy and climate change research and development, we've requested 40 million dollars in specific multi-year research projects, tied to priorities of the state energy office and the governor's sub-cabinet on climate change.
The governor and Alaska legislature are facing the largest surplus in the state's history during the coming session. Last year, they saved large portions of the surplus. This year, we hope they will choose to invest significantly in their best opportunity for economic and social development in Alaska – the University of Alaska. I need your help in getting this message to our elected officials and candidates this fall. We will be in touch about how to assist in the coming months.
VI. Closing and Questions
UAF is woven into the fabric of the great state of Alaska. I am honored and humbled at the opportunity to lead this institution and serve you all. I am excited to help shape the next phase of UAF's future. The state of our University is good, and with your help and guidance it is going to get better.
The next two years will be about showing what an institution can do when we put our people first. About showing what we can achieve engaging with our communities to overcome roadblocks and find solutions to problems. About showing how we can unite through debate and discussion, and we can act, by making responsible decisions.
While I am chancellor, UAF will be about action rather than inaction; we will take bold steps and create new ideas. We are going to make a few mistakes along the way… but I'll take responsible action over fearful inaction any day.
Thank you.

Fire damages roof of Oakley paper facility
Debris in vents led to fire, officials say
Fire damages roof of Oakley paper facility
Debris in vents led to fire, officials say
An overnight fire in Oakley required more than 40 firefighters to deal with it.
Crews were called to the RockTenn plant on Madison Road just before 4 a.m.
Initial arriving units reported a working fire in the ventilation system of a one-story paper plant.
When the first crews had reached the roof area, it was determined that the fire had extended beyond the vents into the roof decking.
Due to the tedious work of accessing the fire area and the possibility of fire extension, a second alarm was requested. The fire was extinguished in approximately one hour.
Damage was estimated at $10,000. There were no reported injuries.
The cause of the fire was determined to be debris in the vents above the roller drying system.

Now, let's imagine that we want to track the mouse position in another component as well. Can we reuse any of the code from our
In the
paradigm, the problem of code reuse was solved using a technique called "mixins". Let's create a
that anyone can use to track the mouse position.
Problem solved, right?! Now anyone can simply "mix in"
to their component class to get the
of the mouse in
Then last year, arrived and ultimately the React team decided to move away from using
to use them instead. It was a wise decision. Who wants to maintain their own class model when JavaScript already has one built-in?
But there was a problem: ES6 classes don't support mixins . Also, besides the fact they aren't part of the ES6 class spec, mixins have other shortcomings too, many of which discussed at length in a post on the React blog .ES6 classes don't support mixins
To summarize, problems with mixins are:ES6 classes Indirection Naming collisions
So instead of using mixins, many in the React community eventually settled on an alternative technique for code reuse known as
higher-order components
, or HOCs. In this paradigm, code is shared using a similar technique to
air jordan flex trainer 2 black
; you start with the component that defines the bulk of the markup to be rendered and then wrap it in more components that contain the behavior you'd like to share. Instead of mixing in the behavior you need, you can just decorate your component! 😎
It was a good solution that solved the problem of code reuse elegantly in the brave new world of ES6 classes, and the community adopted it in droves.
At this point I'd like to stop and ask: what did we gain by moving to higher-order components? Did we solve any of the problems we had with mixins?
Let's see:
Another problem that both mixins and HOCs share is that they use
static composition
instead of
dynamic composition
. Ask yourself: where is the composition happening in the HOC paradigm? Static composition happens once, when the component class is created (e.g.
in the previous example).
It is a known fact that the right styleguide can significantly increase development speed, debugging, and the implementation of new features in legacy code. Sadly, most CSS codebases are sometimes developed without any structure or naming conventions. This leads to an unmaintainable CSS codebase in the long term.
The BEM approach ensures that everyone who participates in the development of a website works with a single codebase and speaks the same language. Using proper naming will prepare you for the changes in design of the website.
Encapsulates a standalone entity that is meaningful on its own. While blocks can be nested and interact with each other, semantically they remain equal; there is no precedence or hierarchy. Holistic entities without DOM representation (such as controllers or models) can be blocks as well.
Block names may consist of Latin letters, digits, and dashes. To form a CSS class, add a short prefix for namespacing:
Any DOM node can be a block if it accepts a class name.
Parts of a block and have no standalone meaning. Any element is semantically tied to its block.
Element names may consist of Latin letters, digits, dashes and underscores. CSS class is formed as block name plus two underscores plus element name:
Any DOM node within a block can be an element. Within a given block, all elements are semantically equal.
Flags on blocks or elements. Use them to change appearance, behavior or state.
Modifier names may consist of Latin letters, digits, dashes and underscores. CSS class is formed as block's or element's name plus two dashes:
. Spaces in complicated modifiers are replaced by dash.
Modifier is an extra class name which you add to a block/element DOM node. Add modifier classes only to blocks/elements they modify, and keep the original class:
Use modifier class name as selector:

An interesting challenge in cartography is getting data of the appropriate resolution. As Lewis Fry Richardson observed , the more precisely you measure the length of a coastline, the longer it appears; geographic shapes have infinite complexity. Digital displays, in contrast, are limited by pixels. Choosing too high a resolution increases download time and slows rendering, while too low a resolution elides important detail. This challenge is exacerbated by zoomable maps that desire multi-resolution geometry!
To simplify geometry to suit the displayed resolution, various line simplification algorithms exist. While Douglas–Peucker is the most well-known, Visvalingam's algorithm may be more effective and has a remarkably intuitive explanation: it progressively removes points with the least-perceptible change. Amazingly, simplification often allows the elimination of 95% or more points while retaining sufficient detail for visualization. For example, the GeoJSON file used to draw the continental United States above can be reduced from 531KB to 27KB with only minor visual changes.
To determine which point removal incurs the smallest visible change, Visvalingam's algorithm computes triangles formed by successive triplets of points along each line; the point with the smallest associated triangle is removed. After each removal, the area of neighboring triangles is recomputed and the process is repeated.
For example, consider this line of six points:
Ignoring the endpoints, the effective area of each point is determined by its associated triangle:
The purple triangle is the smallest, so the fifth point is removed first. This removal requires recomputing the area of the adjacent red triangle:
The green triangle is now the smallest, so the third point is removed, and the adjacent orange and red triangles are recomputed. This process continues until only the endpoints remain:
There is no guarantee that removing a point increases the area of the adjacent triangles; thus, the algorithm considers the effective area as the larger of the associated triangle and the previously-removed triangle.
One of the best features of Visvalingam's algorithm is that the effective area can be subsequently stored in the geometry. For example, a
air jordan black toe fragmented itHSHfj
can have a z -coordinate that indicates its effective area, allowing efficient filtering for dynamic simplification even when the algorithm is run on the server. An example of this technique is shown at the top of the page, though more commonly simplification is done based on zoom level.

It's a gift and a curse. People are expecting plays to happen around me all the time, so when I'm not, it's like I'm not doing anything. I have to be someone who makes more plays all the time.
Everyone who has been watching me play should know that I don't need to score to feel I did something. I don't need to score to impact the game. I try to take a lot of pride in that. Some people see that as a weakness, which maybe it can be at times, but I see it as I can do all this other stuff -- I don't have to be on the court scoring to make things happen.
Sky ties the game with a @gabbywilliams15 steal and a @Sloot22 two. pic.twitter.com/ETOEUjFu14
Against Atlanta [on June 27], I felt like that. Things were happening around me. I was making plays for other people, defensive plays, whatever.
Everyone putting on a highlight reel tonight. 🙀
Jose amp; Maria Barrera TripleStrand Beaded Necklace naLw1
The second time we played Washington [on June 22], I wasn't scoring like crazy, but I was pressuring the ball, getting steals, getting rebounds. I was making things happen, so I stayed in almost the whole second half.
Against New York on Sunday, I didn't feel like that. I wasn't scoring and I wasn't making big plays. I just felt out there. As much as I tried to get into stuff, it wasn't happening for me. I've watched the film and I know what I need to do to make myself more useful.
The mood in the Sky locker room is so different now. When we were losing, everyone felt so defeated all the time. You could see it in our body language. It was hard to be motivated when you're losing that often. I think our approach is different now. We needed to prove to ourselves that we can be one of those top teams.
It's good and it's bad to play against a team you've already played, because now they know how to play you. It's important to have your counters, and you have to anticipate that the other team knows the scout on you. Seeing players multiple times, you know what they like, what they want to do, but everyone else in the league is good enough where they have counters as well. It never ends.
One thing I've been more aware of is that it takes a lot more self-motivation to be a pro compared to college because you're replaceable now. In college, you have a four-year contract and there are a lot more teams, so the talent is spread out. You don't expect your spot to be taken. Now it can happen tomorrow, it can happen at any time. People are waiting to take your spot. That's why I want to show that I am the only person who can do what I do. Everyone in the league is trying to prove that they are bringing something that nobody else can.

Kulwicki Legacy to Ride with Griffith at NHMS Showdown
The late Alan Kulwicki was a NASCAR legend. He moved from his native Wisconsin to the Hollywood of stock car racing in Charlotte, North Carolina with not much more than a dream and a strong work ethic. Two days before that move, his truck had an electrical fire and burned to the ground – so there were not even many tools and racing parts that went south with him. Nevertheless, Kulwicki pressed on. A few years after the move, he won his first NASCAR Cup-level race with his own independent team. A

Undercounter Coolers
When you're laying out your shop, two of the most important factors are accessibility and space efficiency. If you've got a coffee shop, you usually want a cooler near your baristas' workspace for milk drinks and cold brew. If you're running a deli, you may want to keep cheese, sour cream, and other toppings cool under a soup station. Whatever your application, an undercounter refrigerator is convenient for maximizing your refrigerated space and putting your cold goods at your fingertips where an upright refrigerator just wouldn't fit.
Undercounter refrigerators usually don't need many features. You just want a cooler that will last...and last...and last. That's why we're proud to carry quality undercounter coolers from leading manufacturers like True, Turbo Air, and Delfield. We work hard to give you the lowest prices on these top brands, but if you need something a bit more affordable, we also carry some great economy, undercounter fridges.
In addition to coming in a wide range of sizes, many of our undercounter refrigerators are available as ADA compliant or low profile models. Whether you are looking for a drawered undercounter or a half-size cooler with standard swing doors, we can get you a refrigerator you'll love. If you need help, give us a call. We'd love to talk to you!

'Game of Thrones' Will Film Parts of Season Five in Spain
Dorne, here we come?
HBO announced Tuesday that parts of season five of its blockbuster fantasy series "Game of Thrones" will shoot in the Seville province of the Andalusia region of southern Spain. The area's sun-drenched, Mediterranean environment would make a fine stand-in for George R.R. Martin's vision of the southernmost of the Seven Kingdoms.
HBO, however, would not confirm which settings would be shot in Seville. The network said it would announce specific locations closer to the time production begins.

Unravel the complexities of beautiful East Africa.
Find the best of East Africa on this Intrepid adventure as you traverse across Kenya and into Tanzania. Discover the wildlife, history, people, culture and beauty of this incredible spot. Begin your adventure in the busy heart of Kenya – Nairobi – and then turn your attention to the wild as you see flamingos in Lake Nakuru, game and wildlife in the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti, and all manner of birds and beast as you travel the wide-open plains. Swap the savanna for a higher elevation when you visit Usambara Mountains, and then leave all your cares behind as you relax on the endless white sands of the beaches in Zanzibar. Leave this East Africa adventure with a deeper understanding and appreciation of this fabulously intricate and enchanting part of the world.
In 2019 this trip will no longer visit Marangu or visit the Mshiri Village in this area. Instead this trip will go directly from Mto Wa Mbu to Usambara Mountains and reduce to 20 days instead of previously 21 days. The departures will start on the same date and finish one day earlier.
Experience Kenya's tribal life with Maasai warriors at an overnight village visit in Loita Hills
Spot Black and White Rhino in Lake Nakuru National Park
Explore the stunning Serengeti and discover animals unlike any you have ever seen
Partake in community activities in Mto wa Mbu with a guided stroll around the farming areas
Wander around Stone Town's bustling bazaars and fragrant spice markets and receive a guided tour of the spice plantations
In Loita Hills we stay in a bush camp while Maasai warriors guard us from the animals.
Camp in the Serengeti National Park itself without fences between you and the animals. Your leader will brief you on the safety measures the group will need to take for the 2 nights spent in the park.
At Usambara Mountains the group will do a an easy hike to the beautiful Irente viewpoint.
We use our purpose-built overland vehicles for the duration of this trip. This multi-purpose truck allows for great game viewing with large sliding windows. As such the trucks do not have air-conditioning and conditions can be dusty and hot.
The overland vehicle is large enough to seat up to 22 passengers and carries all the camping equipment needed for the duration of this trip. Therefore the going can be slow over the long distances and often bumpy roads.
This is a participatory camping trip. You will be expected to set up and take down you own tent as well as assist with food preparation and cleaning.
As the early bird catches the worm, the early camper sights the animals. There will be many early starts either to make use of the better safari time or to beat the morning traffic on long travel days.
1. A single supplement is available on this trip. Please speak to your booking agent for further information.
2. Optional sunrise balloon rides in the Masai Mara National Reserve and Serengeti National Park are possible on this itinerary. As the balloon only holds 16 people, places are limited and we recommend you book in advance. Please inquire when booking your trip to book this optional activity.
3. This is a combination trip made up of 3 shorter trips. This means the composition of your group may change in Nairobi and Stone Town as some group members leave and new ones join you.
4. The Zanzibar portion of your itinerary may have a few more passengers than the maximum group size of 22 as we have a crossover of trips starting and finishing in Zanzibar.
In 2019 this trip will no longer visit Marangu or visit the Mshiri Village in this area. Instead this trip will go directly from Mto Wa Mbu to Usambara Mountains and reduce to 20 days instead of previously 21 days. The departures will start on the same date and finish one day earlier.
Our Best of East Africa trips score an average of 4.6 out of 5 based on 10 reviews in the last year.
A very busy, varied and exciting trip.
Review submitted 12 Feb 2018
Intrepid is a reasonable and responsible way to travel the world . You'll meet like minded people, who love to travel. Even though all your needs are catered for ,you still have lots of interaction. You always see the best of each country.

2014 State of the State address
The address inside the Capitol building will give the Republican governor a chance to highlight accomplishments and call for legislators to complete unfinished business. Expected topics include immigration and mental health along with boosting maintenance of roads and bridges.
Snyder is up for re-election in November and surely will continue touting Michigan as the "comeback state" and mention Detroit's bankruptcy restructuring.
He won't give specifics during his address, but Snyder has begun private talks with legislators about the state contributing money now that foundations have committed more than $330 million to shore up Detroit pension plans to stave off the potential sale of city-owned pieces in an art museum.
Five things to know about Snyder's speech:
The Republican governor typically uses the State of State to touch on broader themes, saving key details on many initiatives — including a potential tax cut or rebate — for his budget proposal due in three weeks. But there will be hints at his spending plan.
Eliminating a waiting list so 16,000 more disadvantaged 4-year-olds can attend preschool for free is close to his heart, and he's likely to tout Michigan landing for the first time federal grants to improve early learning programs.
The state is expected to collect nearly $1 billion more in taxes than anticipated from last fiscal year through next.
"I think it's something we should be proud of and highlight," Snyder told The Associated Press on Tuesday at the auto show in Detroit. "It's because the economy is growing. ... I view it as a good problem to have."
Up for re-election in November, Snyder no doubt will continue talking up Michigan as the "comeback state." So expect mention of the auto industry's resurgence, tourism, Detroit's bankruptcy restructuring, the extra revenue, improved credit ratings, modest job gains and the population growing for the second straight year after years of decline.
He'll again forgo a teleprompter and base his speech on a two-page outline.
Snyder is likely to revisit items from last year's State of the State that stalled in the GOP-led Legislature. Though he already has dialed back expectations of major election-year legislative achievements before November, he remains hopeful lawmakers could agree to replace Michigan's flat per-gallon fuel taxes with percentage levies based on the wholesale price.
He may try again for gasoline tax and license plate fee hikes, but legislators are much more likely to instead use some of the surplus for another temporary boost in road spending.
Other bills Snyder is hoping to revive — but remain stalled — would expand a state district for K-12 schools in the lowest 5 percent for student test scores and lower auto insurance premiums while scaling back unlimited medical care for people seriously injured in vehicle crashes.
Snyder likely will focus mostly on updating legislators and the public on previously announced plans and the state of his Michigan Dashboard: measures in key areas such as economic growth and citizens' health.
Yet look for him to possibly illustrate further some of his ideas on immigration — he says Michigan needs more immigrants — improving mental health services and foreshadowing a later special message on seniors.
Democrats say what the governor doesn't talk about will be just as important as the "spin" on his record and the record of GOP lawmakers.
He won't ask for a minimum wage increase they and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mark Schauer are seeking. He won't mention tax increases on individuals that were enacted to offset a business tax cut "to corporations and the wealthy," House Minority Leader Tim Greimel said Wednesday while flanked by fellow Democrats, a minimum-wage Burger King worker and a retired teacher whose pension is no longer exempted from taxation.
The most recent monthly unemployment rate of 8.8 percent in November is down just slightly from 8.9 percent when Snyder delivered his last State of the State and is the third-highest in the U.S.
"It's clear the Republicans are not on the side of everyday people," Greimel said.
