Bellarine winery wins inaugural Australian Pinot Noir Challenge
Yes said the Seal's 2-16 Pinot Noir takes trophy
Media release
Indisputable proof that Bellarine wines are amongst the nation's best with local Yes said the Seal awarded Best Pinot Noir in Australia at the inaugural Australian Pinot Noir Challenge announced on Saturday, August 19. Yes said the Seal's 2016 Pinot Noir was awarded 98 points by judges and was the clear winner amongst more than 250 Pinot Noirs from all around Australia.
Crafted from handpicked Bellarine fruit sourced from sister vineyard Leura Park Estate's Block 9, (clone 115), the result is a serious credit to winemaker Darren Burke who spent many hours nurturing the vines including leaf plucking and shoot thinning during the growth phase.
"All here are absolutely ecstatic to be awarded the inaugural trophy at the Australian Pinot Noir Challenge, it means a lot on so many levels. It is a credit to the skill and dedication of our Winemaker, Darren Burke who spent hours personally tending our beloved front block," Director, Lyndsay Sharp said.
"The award is also a wonderful result for Geelong & The Bellarine as a cool climate wine growing region. Pinot Noir has long been a signature varietal of the region and to be recognised at this level reinforces the fact that this great part of Victoria stands tall on the national stage," Ms Sharp said.
Picked at a baume' at around 13, the fruit was naturally fermented with 10% whole bunches before enjoying a natural ferment which was cooled as required to ensure the temperature was never greater than 28 degrees celsius. Total time on skins was 15 days. The ferment cap was gently submerged once daily and 25% new French oak was embraced as the new wood component.
Elevage of 10 months included a natural malo-lactic fermentation before being assembled for bottling, unfined and filtered.
If that's all too technical, don't worry! It just means that this wine is the best of the best due to keen attention to detail, top winemaking skills and great Bellarine grapes!

J. D. Salinger Quotes About WritingQuotes about: Writing
Keep me up till five because all your stars are out, and for no other reason…Oh dare to do it Buddy! Trust your heart. You're a deserving craftsman. It would never betray you. Good night. I'm feeling very much over-excited now, and a little dramatic, but I think I'd give almost anything on earth to see you writing a something, an anything, a poem, a tree, that was really and truly after your own heart.
If only you'd remember before ever you sit down to write that you've been a reader long before you were ever a writer. You simply fix that fact in your mind, then sit very still and ask yourself, as a reader, what piece of writing in all the world Buddy Glass would most want to read if he had his heart's choice. The next step is terrible, but so simple I can hardly believe it as I write it. You just sit down shamelessly and write the thing yourself. I won't even underline that. It's too important to be underlined.
You can't argue with someone who believes, or just passionately suspects, that the poet's function is not to write what he must write but, rather, to write what he would write if his life depended on his taking responsibility for writing what he must in a style designed to shut out as few of his old librarians as humanly possible.
There is a marvelous peace in not publishing. It's peaceful. Still. Publishing is a terrible invasion of my privacy. I like to write. I live to write. But I write just for myself and my own pleasure. I don't necessarily intend to publish posthumously, but I do like to write for myself. I pay for this kind of attitude. I'm known as a strange, aloof kind of man. But all I'm doing is trying to protect myself and my work.
But if we come back, if German men come back, if British men come back, and Japs, and French, and all the other men, all of us talking, writing, painting, making movies of heroes, and cockroaches and foxholes and blood, then future generations will always be doomed to future Hitlers. It's never occurred to boys to have contempt for wars, to point to soldiers' pictures in history books, laughing at them. If German boys had learned to be contemptuous of violence, Hitler would have had to take up knitting to keep his ego warm.

Web design encompasses many different skills and disciplines in the production and maintenance of websites. The different areas of web design include web graphic design; interface design; authoring, including standardised code and proprietary software; user experience design; and search engine optimization. Often many individuals will work in teams covering different aspects of the design process, although some designers will cover them all. The term web design is normally used to describe the design process relating to the front-end (client side) design of a website including writing mark up. Web design partially overlaps web engineering in the broader scope of web development. Web designers are expected to have an awareness of usability and if their role involves creating mark up then they are also expected to be up to date with web accessibility guidelines.
Although web design has a fairly recent history, it can be linked to other areas such as graphic design. However, web design can also be seen from a technological standpoint. It has become a large part of people's everyday lives. It is hard to imagine the Internet without animated graphics, different styles of typography, background, and music.
Evolution of web design
In 1996, Microsoft released its first competitive browser, which was complete with its own features and tags. It was also the first browser to support style sheets, which at the time was seen as an obscure authoring technique. The HTML markup for tables was originally intended for displaying tabular data. However designers quickly realized the potential of using HTML tables for creating the complex, multi-column layouts that were otherwise not possible. At this time, as design and good aesthetics seemed to take precedence over good mark-up structure, and little attention was paid to semantics and web accessibility. HTML sites were limited in their design options, even more so with earlier versions of HTML. To create complex designs, many web designers had to use complicated table structures or even use blank spacer .GIF images to stop empty table cells from collapsing. CSS was introduced in December 1996 by the W3C to support presentation and layout. This allowed HTML code to be semantic rather than both semantic and presentational, and improved web accessibility, see tableless web design.

Last year the government consulted on the introduction of fees for tribunal matters relating to enfranchisement and members of the firm were involved in these discussions. The proposed fees have been reduced from the suggested level of Ł2000 per case to a more manageable Ł100 on making the application and Ł200 when the case is listed for hearing.
Previously there were no court fees associated with making a tribunal application.
Whilst HMCTS needs to recover the costs of its operations in part from its users, we were keen to see that the fees were set at a level that did not deter applicants and so whilst applicants may not relish the prospect of paying fees, the new arrangements are much better than they might have been – although this is not the end of the story as it is quite possible that the fees may be revised again in the future to reflect the value of the subject of the case.
The new fees will come into effect soon, and details of the relevant Statutory Instrument appear here:
The landlord and tenant team have been prepared for these changes and Mark Chick and other members of the team were involved in making representations on them through their involvement in the consultation.
If you have a query concerning an enfranchisement or tribunal matter and would like to get in contact with us then please email email@example.com
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.

President Makes Commitment to College Access
Statement of U.S. PIRG Higher Education Associate Ethan Senack on the President's speech on higher education:
"Earlier today, the President unveiled a new plan to "shake up" the American higher education system with the goal of lowering costs and increasing access to college.
"With student debt reaching an all-time high, young people are trapped between needing a college degree and burying themselves in debt to earn it.
"Students are the future of this country and it is critical that we set them up for success. Today, the president made a serious commitment to increasing access to higher education, and that is a major step in the right direction.
"We support President Obama's call for the Department of Education to ramp up their education and outreach efforts to students struggling with debt post-graduation, as well as the extension of income-based repayment options to all students. High student debt harms the economy, making it harder for graduates to start a family, buy a house, or launch a business.
"Other proposals in the speech could give students and their parents more options and better information. Technology is opening new doors, allowing students the option of using novel, breakthrough methods of education that could make a quality education more affordable. At the same time, increasing access to user-friendly data regarding graduation rates and average debt gives families the opportunity to get the most bang for their buck.
"We applaud the President for setting out an ambitious agenda for higher education reform – students need all of our leaders to commit to lowering costs and increasing access to higher education."

The latest and greatest on CNN iReport, brought to you by Team iReport.
Adriana Maxwell is well-versed in all things news. This Atlanta, Georgia, resident used to freelance for both CNN International and iReport as an associate producer and is now a regular presence on iReport, where she sounds off on the hot political stories of the moment.
As she puts it in her profile biography, she's a "pundit who actually lives on a planet I like to call Earth." That definitely shows in her no-nonsense approach to political news across the spectrum. It's also why she's this week's pick for iReport Pundit of the Week.
Issues: "I've always got an eye out for when media and pundits and political analysts hammer on talking points, and never really provide facts. People have heard these talking points again and again, but sometimes they're not true, or half true. It's important that someone fact-checks what they're saying and demands they tell the truth, and stop relying on the memo that was handed to you by someone else."
How did you first get interested in politics?
"I started at a very young age. My parents were always interested in politics in the U.S., and continued to be when they immigrated here, but always had the advantage of looking at it kind of as an outsider, a third party. They always would dissect current events from a non-American point of view."
Why do you share your opinion with iReport?
"When something gets vetted, it means I've made a valid point, and my iReport makes sense and has value. It's the satisfaction of having a CNN producer say that it's good, and has been fact-checked, and it's a good story."
Who is your political or journalistic hero?
"The late Tim Russert. I've been a political junkie from birth, and I can remember watching 'Meet The Press' in the morning when I was younger. He never cut people off or got angry, he would just ask questions and let them go. And then, when they stopped for a breath, he would devastate them with a contradictory statement they had made, and put the quote right up there."
What do you think is going to be the defining issue of the 2012 election?
"The economy. It always is. If the economy goes south, President Obama will be out. But if it keeps on growing, I don't think Mitt Romney has a chance of winning. That's why all the big guns didn't run – folks like Chris Christie and Mitch Daniels. They knew that as long as the economy was moving forward, even at a slow pace, they probably wouldn't win."
What is something unique about you that people might be interested to know?
"Well, if I can get through the day without any interruptions, which is hard to do sometimes, I can usually read two or three books a day. I'm a speed-reader. I've always had it, as a child I would go to the library, pick out ten books, and by the end of the week they would all be returned."
And she put those speed-reading chops to use in 2009 when she pored her way through the more than one-thousand pages of the Affordable Care Act. She appeared in the CNN Newsroom and gave the world the skinny on what it was like going page-by-page through the bill.
Catch some of Adriana's commentary and punditry right here on iReport. If you'd like the chance to step up on the iReport soapbox and shine a light on your own political views, now's the time to join the debate.

What will you do on the September 17th anniversary of Occupy Wall Street?
Next Wednesday, on September 17th and the third anniversary of Occupy Wall Street, most of us will not march in the streets, or sleep en masse in parks. This time, millions of us around the world will keep the revolutionary fires burning with personal and collective acts of love and defiance.
Athens, London, Barcelona, Tahrir, Zucotti, Gezi and Rio were our training grounds, inspiring and igniting within us the will to divine a new world. To dream a new dream. Now, three years on from Occupy, we're ready for the next step: the seamless, total globalization of our movement.
It's time to start forging networks, building alliances and learning how to buzz together strategically to pull off coordinated global actions, stage mega-corporate boycotts and launch trickster memes, culture jams and happenings of all kinds. In the process we'll spiritually unify all our national movements into a single global force and our battle tactic will become one of subtlety and subversion, hover and sting, actively waiting for our revolutionary moment to come.
Maybe it will come on the anniversary of the movement, on April Fool's Day, or in the heady days of riot after the next financial bubble bursts. Maybe our revolutionary moment of truth will come after the release of the next International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report when it suddenly dawns on everyone that the G7 leaders, operating within their corpo-capitalist algorithm, are systematically incapable of dealing with the warming of our planet and the slide of our species into the sludge of history.
Whenever the critical moment comes, though, one thing is for sure. The roar will be deafening. Swarms of fired up blackspot revolutionaries will swoop down and occupy all the stock exchanges, corporate HQs, government offices and power centers of global capitalism. With growing intensity, a slowly building, unstoppable carnival of delight will take hold of the world and render the cost of doing business as usual impossible to bear.
For the wild,
The Adbusters Team

Many of us have been raised to put scoreboard results ahead of everything else. Sure, as Responsible Sport Parents we care about the scoreboard. But we also know that some of the lessons learned in youth sports can be invaluable as adults.
Instead of focusing exclusively on the scoreboard, Responsible Sport Parents can take a Mastery Approach to sports, where success is tied not just to wins and losses, but also to mastering physical and mental skills. That way, win or lose, children still can gain life lessons from sports.
There are three elements of The Mastery Approach (and there is an easy acronym – ELM – to help remember them) – Effort, Learning and Mistakes.
Effort – we encourage our kids to always give 100%
Learning – we see sports as a way to constantly learn and improve
Mistakes are OK – it's how we respond to them that really matters
If we as parents, together with the team's coach can instill ELM in our kids – rather than focusing solely on the scoreboard – they will perform better on the field and will more likely apply the ELM approach to school, family relationships and other important aspects of their lives.
We've all seen it: too much emphasis on winning increases players' anxiety. They end up expending their emotional energy worrying about whether they will win or lose. And that higher anxiety causes them to make more mistakes – they play tentatively and timidly.
Ultimately, anxiety undercuts self-confidence, which affects performance and takes the joy out of sports.
Why does the focus on the scoreboard increase anxiety? Because players can't control the outcome on the scoreboard! And players become anxious about things that are important to them that they can't control. A win on the scoreboard depends a great deal on the quality of the opponent, which is outside of the control of the athlete or team. (It's also outside our control as parents!)
Sports psychology research shows that teams and athletes who take the ELM Mastery approach (giving 100% effort, constantly learning, and bouncing back from mistakes) consistently win more contests.
By moving our children's focus off the scoreboard results and on to their effort, our kids will be happier and more self-confident – and the wins will come

Bank of America (BAC) is expanding its board.
The nation's second biggest bank by assets said Wednesday that it has named Arnold Donald, a former chief executive of Merisant, and Lionel Nowell 3rd, a former treasurer at PepsiCo, directors.
The appointments expand Bank of America's board to 18 from 16 members.
Donald, 58, served as CEO of Merisant, a maker of Equal and other sweeteners, which he co-founded in 2000 after holding a series of senior posts at Monsanto.
Nowell, also 58, was chief financial officer of The Pepsi Bottling Group and a controller of the company before serving as treasurer for roughly eight years starting in 2001. He previously held a series of senior financial posts at RJR Nabisco, Pillsbury and Pizza Hut.
"The board welcomes the extensive expertise and judgment Arnold and Lionel bring," Charles Holliday, Bank of America's chairman, said in a press release.

Welcome to the Wednesday War Room, where Yahoo Sports' football minds kick around the topics of the day. Got a question you want us to answer? Email us right here. Today, we're talking Ezekiel Elliott and the best of Week 1.
Question 1: I hate to say it, but could the Ezekiel Elliott case blow up (get it) into a mess as bad as the 18-month deflate-gate saga?
Frank Schwab:
I don't think so just because I'm not sure what they can argue that Tom Brady didn't a year ago, and Brady was ultimately unsuccessful. As our Charles Robinson pointed out, this isn't about the facts of the case and whether Elliott was innocent or guilty, it's about the NFL following the collective bargaining agreement. It didn't work in Brady's case and I don't think it will work now.
Anthony Sulla-Heffinger:
Yes, I think this is going to drag out for at least a year. Since the start of the NFL's investigation this thing has been messy despite there being very clear guidelines on the league's stance on domestic violence. Then, in the days and weeks following the announcement of the suspension, things have only gotten murkier for the NFL as Elliott's team and the NFLPA fight Goodell. Remember, this is arguably the biggest star on a Dallas Cowboys team with legitimate Super Bowl hype, not Joe Linebacker on the Cleveland Browns. I don't see how this doesn't get uglier before it gets completely resolved one way or the other.
Jordan Schultz:
I don't think so. Deflate-gate was different in that we had the definitive knowledge of the "locker room" guy who had access to the room – alone with the footballs – for one minute. In this situation, we now know that Roger Goodell knew one of the investigators believed Zeke should not receive the six game suspension. Goodell has been caught with his hand in the cookie jar and instead of owning up to yet another colossal mistake, he has doubled down. That's why Elliott is getting the six games and that's why Goodell continues to be the laughingstock of professional sports. But in terms of a deflate-gate situation, this won't have the same type of long-term effects on the league.
Jay Busbee:
I can't see any way this doesn't spiral onward into 2018. Goodell has the blessing of the owners, but in the eyes of the public, he's a wounded duck … and that perception is what will allow Jerry Jones and the Cowboys to keep pushing forward like Elliott through the line, only with high-priced lawyers rather than high-priced linemen. Like deflate-gate, this will become a story of process rather than result, which is unfortunate—the issue of domestic violence doesn't need to be slotted into the same category as some dopey theory about deflated footballs or questions about cell phone sanctity. What did we learn about the NFL and ourselves after deflate-gate? Nothing, and the same lesson will apply here. A year or so down the road.
2. Football's back! Which of Week 1's games would you pay to see?
Oakland Raiders-Tennessee Titans
Two good young quarterbacks, last year's breakout team against the team everyone (including me) thinks will break out this year. This one is going to tell us a lot about where both teams are at as we get into the 2017 season. It's going to be the best game of Week 1. -Schwab
Jacksonville Jaguars-Houston Texans
How cool would it be to pay for Jacksonville vs. Houston and have all of the proceeds go to Hurricane Harvey relief efforts? J.J. Watt and countless others have already done their part to aid those affected by the storm, but this would be an awesome way to show the generosity of NFL fans across the country and world. Houston has been through hell the past few weeks and while the game will serve as a distraction for the city and Texans fans, this would be a way to go above and beyond. -Sulla
I am really excited for Tyrod Taylor against Josh McCown in this pivotal AFC East showdown between the Bills and Jets. Kidding, kidding! Seriously though, how about the Raiders heading to Nashville? Marshawn Lynch's first football game in over a year against last year's second ranked rushing defense is enough to make me watch. But Derek Carr and Marcus Mariota dueling it out is worth the price of admission. Both have greatness in them and both can kill you in different ways: Carr more so from the pocket and Mariota as a dynamic two-way threat. Expectations are sky high for both Oakland and Tennessee, and this Week 1 tilt should be special. -Schultz
Seattle Seahawks-Green Bay Packers
Come on, are you kidding me? This is the best game of 2013! And yes, while time has dulled the edge of the Seahawks, the Packers remain every bit the threat they've apparently always been. Great players, great teams, great locale … this one will be well worth watching, and you never know; it might turn out to be decisive in home-field advantage come January 2018. Fun idea, thinking that far ahead. -Busbee

Feedbands Review: Two years in, where are they now?
Ever since Feedbands acquired the Record Collector's Guild a lot of people have been writing in to us and asking us just what the heck Feedbands is and what they do. So, hopefully this article will demystify things a bit.
What is Feedbands?
Feedbands is a company that tasks themselves with finding the absolute best independent musicians of our generation and releasing them on vinyl for the first time. Feedbands releases a new record every month and sends it to subscribers.
The deal is great for artists:
- the artist gets paid cash up front (a 4-figure amount that fluctuates with their subscriber base)
- the artist gets a stack of records at no cost (typically 100 records) -which they can sell as merch at their shows.
- the artist keeps all the rights to their music, so they are free to re-press, re-distribute and do absolutely anything they want with their music
- the artists' music gets sent to people all over the world who will experience them for the first time on vinyl
Feedbands is powered by subscribers.
The key to Feedbands being able to offer this to artists is an enthusiastic and loyal subscriber base who support independent musicians and trust Feedbands to find an amazing artist each month and send it to them on wax. Subscribers pay about $25 per month including shipping and get the following benefits:
- Subscribers can choose to receive the month's new release, or opt for any of the 24 records in their back catalog
- Subscribers receive a digital download of the music
- Subscribers receive a hand-numbered jacket
- Subscribers can return any record they don't like for a refund.
A company dedicated to releasing the best new independent vinyl.
And so there you have it. On the surface, Feedbands is a company that is truly dedicated to finding the best independent artists out there and helping them get their music on vinyl. But if we dig deeper, we see a picture of a company on a mission that transcends vinyl. The true mission of the company is to support independent artists -artists who need a lot more than a one-time check and a stack of vinyl. They need more people to hear their music. They need to play shows. Feedbands ultimately seeks to help artists in all the various ways they need support, and so they have a number of initiatives that take aim at the spectrum of needs of the artist.
Feedbands Free Streaming Service
Feedbands operates a free streaming service through its website, found at feedbands.com/stream and on it's iphone app and android app. On Feedbands Streaming you can:
- listen to all the artists that Feedbands has released on vinyl on a single, commercial-free stream found at feedbands.com/stream/vinyl.
- you can also select the "new releases" channel to hear all the music submitted to Feedbands from anxious artists eager to get pressed to vinyl
- you can listen to top rated music, random music, or search by any genre tag, like down-tempo, electronic, bluegrass, funk, etc.
Feedbands House Shows
Feedbands has also thrown DIY house shows since the day they launched, opening up their own homes to all the artists on their service, and to their local communities. These events aren't typically publicized on the internet for obvious reasons, but they do happen and they are lots and lots of fun. Feedbands does not charge money for these shows, although show-goers are allowed to donate any money they would like to go to the artists.
The future of Feedbands
Feedbands continues to see vinyl, streaming, and concerts in their future. They have no intention of ever raising investment money or growing too large. They just want to keep releasing amazing independent artists on vinyl and play whatever role in music history by being a stepping stone for amazing artists on their way to the top.

» Why these songs? Why in your living-room? The underlying idea
We can choose an infinite number of ways to exist in the world. Interestingly, despite the many choices available, we sometimes use strategies that take us nowhere.
This can happen over and over again until we choose a new way.
I often ponder this question: How come it takes us so long to become conscious and listen to our intuition?
My thoughts about this question have inspired my music.The result is a collection of songs that remind us that we can all decide to find our own unique path. Some people might tell us it is safer to stick with tradition and stop dreaming. But thats not me.
My latest album is called be the change. The title is a reminder that change doesn't happen if we just complain or worry. Change happens when we actively and consciously start to shape our own future.
I'd like to encourage you to follow your heart The Big Idea: The time is right for live music to happen in our living rooms again. I play in settings that are so small that it's more like a conversation than like a concert. By inviting friends into your home to enjoy one of my living room concerts you contribute to the creation of something real that happens "right here and right now".

I found this picture in my camera. I have no idea who took it or when, but you can see the dark circles forming under his eyes.
Five hide and seek games, two sugar highs and nearly one tantrum later Benjamin passed out in the car on the long ride home. He slept straight through the night until Friday morning when we headed out to find our Christmas tree.
On the way there Benjamin got to play with his favorite toy in the world – John's iPhone fart machine with fart Christmas carols. How lovely!
Would you look at that face? I caught the classic, "I am listening and laughing about farts" wayward gaze on film. But anything that makes him laugh like that is fine with me
After fart fun we landed at the tree lot.
After John Bear did the man thing and shook a few out we found our tree.
And while Benjamin marveled at how quickly the man wrapped it up, I handed the camera to John Bear.
"Can you take some pictures of us? Just hold the button down and it will take a ton, that way there has to be at least one good one."
He took it out of my hand reluctantly. Taking pictures is one of the things John only does if I ask him. But I'm determined to beef up his photography skills if it kills me… so I keep handing him the camera at the risk of seeing the hideous pictures of me that result.
Awkward angles of my arms, thighs and my face in the worst lighting – you name it, he's taken it, and I've deleted just about all of them. But just like the scrambled eggs, he keeps trying. (It's all about the eggs, People, I'm telling you.)
So with the camera in his hands, John snapped away.
and not so slowly
I'm still not used to the idea of having someone around to take pictures of the two of us together – pictures of me and my little Benjamin. Who, as it turns out, LOVES decorating Christmas trees.
And putting two blue ornaments right next to each other because it's "Cool, Mommy."
Above his favorite nutcracker who is "even cooler".
In the end the tree looked like this. A bit sloppy, in a cute "a three-year-old decorated me" kind of way.
Just after we finished Benjamin's dad showed up for weekend #2 of his every other weekends and then – just like that – John Bear and I were alone again.
We started with drinks at a friends and then realizing it was our seven month anniversary, we stopped into our first "non-date" restaurant.
We sat one table away from the little table that started it all
A few glasses of wine later we headed home to pass out and then sleep in. Oh, the glorious luxuries of the childless.
We spent Saturday, attached at the hip, running errands – some sad and others mandatory, like grocery shopping. And one more fun errand to pick out a birthday present for my friend Ann, who we met later for drinks.
Ann just had her second son, so the drinks were well-deserved and much enjoyed.
Love that place. The best sushi in Columbus – hands down and with the coolest little Haiku, origami cards.
Now it's back to reality. The long haul until Christmas.

cry to your momma about it!
this update will be welcomed, but i hope that by sony being so aggresive in stopping the homebrew psp movement means they are intending on releasing a development kit for the psp in the near future. since they released a dev kit for the ps2, i hope that the psp is also on target for a dev kit so that a real homebrew community can be established with more then just emulators and cheesy test applications.
i hope that the music file support also includes reading the id3 and equivalent meta data. having to purposely create sub-folders to sort music is kind of 20th century, just downloading music to the device, and it allows for browsing by artist, album etc would improve music playback on the device, actually turn it into a music player. as for bmp and tiff support, considering they are generally large sized files, and that high resolution photos don't display properly on the psp (like 3000 x 3000), i hope they improved image handling as well.
as long as sony keeps offering us new features through firmware, then the psp will have a long future, but offering a dev kit would certainly boost popularity in the platform even if its just used by hobbyists looking for something to do on a rainy weekend.
i wish they would be a little more lenient with the homebrew community and if anything just make patches that prevent umd data from being accessed and copied and/or run from a mem stick, if that is all they are worried about, but leave the ability to run homebrew apps off a mem stick in general. sony may be worried that companies like nintendo may sue them for allowing emulators to run on the psp, which is why they are clamping down on them quickly, but then, nintendo hasn't gone after pc and pda makers for offering the same abilities. – by topher

– by tom
|re: homebrew (10:48am est mon jul 25 2005)
it will probably disable them again like the others.
at least sony is giving us new features this time rather than just taking away undocumented hacks and giving us nothing in return. i agree with topher they really do need to open up development, there are so many good things that could be done with the device if they'd let us do them. – by shadowself

ds fan – anyone who likes fun games on the go.

psp-web browser
psp-larger selection of games
psp-better games
psp-memory sticks up to 1gb
psp-music playable
psp-movie playable
psp-picture viewable
psp-wireless connectivity
im sure im missing some stuff
ds-poor selection of games
sure the psp is 250 dollars and yes after a game and a 1 gb mem card it comes close to 400 dollars. but come on do any of you ds owners actually use it for something other than a paper weight. i have one and so far all i have used it for was getting bored with mario and playing gba games, my friend finally got his first ds game a few weeks ago after have the system sence it came out, half a year ago… even thought buying the psp took a chunk of money out of my pocket i use it a hell of alot more than i ever used my ds. i mean you ds fans call psp buyers stupid for spend 250 dollars on a system that we can use, maybe you should look at what you did, you spent $150 on a system that has 3 games rated over 8.0 on gamespot, and has been out for half a year. right now the biggest hype for it is "nintendogs"… come on i think burning $150 would be about an equivelence of buying a ds. i mean $150 paper weight, you might aswell spend $100 more and get something you can use and have fun with. – by shin
|oh btw (1:56am est wed jul 27 2005)
there are other ways of getting money other than throught parents maybe a job… + is it really fair to say that psp owners have rich families and what does that make ds owners poor? maybe unfortunate for wasting ur money on buying one, i wouldnt call someone poor if they have $150, $180 with a game to blow on a ds $150 is alot of money for a poor person, i gurantee all the people on here posting about the psp being a pos dont have one, and would soon change there mind after purchasing one, i am probably one of the only ones in here who has both and trust me psp kicks the crap out of the ds, that could change in the future i dont know but for now the out look on the ds looks grim considering everything that looks cool ends up sucking, ex. oo goldeneye… sucks, oo splinter cell… sucks,i still wish i had the $180 i wasted on the ds, oh did i mention i traded in mario for the ds for a gba game, – by shin

touch a nerve did i shin? admit it – your a twelve year old boy who got his divorced parents to buy him one system each, abusing their guilt for your gain? you like the psp better cos mummy got it for you and it makes you forget about the oedipus dreams youve been having about her? don't worry, when you grow up im sure youll feel better about the whole thing.
psp is a rich kids toy or a poor mans pda. ds is what you want a quality handheld. mario64 has been touted best game ever by many people who have played a hell of alot more games than you, so your ignorence is doubtlessly to do with your age.

'ds-poor selection of games'
how the fuck dare you say ds has a poor selection of games?? did you atleast checked the list of games for launch?? no! stop trolling around will you?? don't talk about you don't know!!
'psp-larger selection of games'
yeah… ps2 ports! admit it: sooner or later psp will be fed up with ps2 ports and, guess what: when ps3 launches, sony itself will throw psp to the bin because sony only used it to keep the hype until ps3 came out! after ps3 is out sony will just lose interest in psp and it will become a minor gaming system, used forr homebrew and… wait! that's it! psp owners need to emulate to get good game in their consoles! wow… ds doesn't even need that to get good games. ds itself has good games…
but there's no need to flame with you: you are just a troll. – by whisky
|psp2 (7:50am est thu jul 28 2005)
attention game players.
we will shortly be making a fundamental revision of psp hardware.
on this hardware, we will drop the umd mechanism altogether and have games, movies and music delivered to the memory stick via a secure online delivery service like i-tunes but only better. this will deliver sce's newly-realized vision of the psp as a solid-state device with no moving parts and a true portable medium with no loading times.
furthermore, we will reduce the size of the unit so that it's not as wide as it is currently.

|psp surpreme (9:21pm est thu jul 28 2005)
since i own both a psp and ds, i'm probably one of the few peoople qualified to offer any sort of opinion on both systems.
quite simply i prefer my psp. it has large amount of amazingly good games available for it, and i've yet to see anything that is "just a ps2 port". i often wonder where you guys get this from…as you obviously don t own a psp maybe you can point out all of the ps2 ports to me?
the ds is okay, but it's still lacking a decent range of game titles for it. i can get past the fact that it's graphics quality is sub-n64 as mario 64 ds is a hell of a fun game to play, and well implemented but that's about the only game worth playing on the system so far. desperatly waiting for advance wars and mteroid.
the way i say it the ds is suffering the same fate as the n64. a lack of third part support, as they all seemn to be doing psp development instead.
|oppinion (11:15pm est fri jul 29 2005)
ok, i own both too, and i like psp much better. ds is a good system with pretty good graphics, but pictochat and the wireless internet only works from 30 feet away where on the psp, you can connect through a router. also, ds does not have many action games. it is mostley unrealistic cartoon characters. i will admit that mario ds was fun, but i beat it in two days, and none of the other games looked fun!!. psp has updates meaning that it will have the ability to keep building and become better. its the only system so far with a web browser. plus, its the same price as an ipod but it can do soo much more. i have 150 songs on my psp, 10 episodes of family guy, and swat the movie, all on one gig. for that, what can you do on a ds, just play games and draw cut pictures. grow up and get into the next generation of gaming. i haven't used my ds since i got my psp. – by ds vs. psp
|ebay (11:13am est sat jul 30 2005)
just go on to ebay and buy one used thats where i got my for 30 dollars cheaper and its in perfect condition. psp rules the new game boy is the biggest pos ever made – by psp is the g
|ok…… (11:43am est sat jul 30 2005)
actually, ds is having quite good 3rd party support, 25 developers working on online games, how about that? i'm neither saying psp hasn't 3rd party support, i'm pretty sure it has as much as ds.
but, believe me or not, when ps3 launches, sony will gradually leave psp behind, atleast as a gaming system, cuz, you see, sony just minituarized ps2, took out some buttons and an analogic stick from dualshock, add some new features bla, bla and put it out, at 250$. and all this just to keep up the hype until ps3 (sony knew it wouldn't be able to do that just with ps2). but just my most honest opinion about psp's future.
about the graphics, no, it hasn't sub-n64 graphics, no way! did you atleast took a look at nintendogs, mario kart ds, matroid prime: hunters, nanostray and a some others? you didn't, cuz if you did, you wouldn't say that. well, about sm64-ds, maybe it has slightly worse graphics than the original version (textures, mainly), just because it was rushed, just with some new characters and 36 mini-games.
about pictochat, maybe no it is useless, but i bet, that when nintendo starts it's wi-fi/online service, sooner or later there will be a firmware update for it, to make it online, i bet…
fun games, lack of fun games?? what about meteos, kirby canvas curse, lost in blue, advance wars, later mario kart ds (online), animal crossing (online, too), nintendogs, trace memory (as i'm european i already have it and it is really good, short, though)… and the list is getting bigger.
ds isn't even a gameboy, you troll!
@ds vs. psp: get meteos for your ds, if you want an addictive and fun game. – by whisky

why support sony? they're a bunch of idiots. the psp has two big flaws:
1. should have been a mini-dvd drive, holds about the same as umd but you'd be able to burn all your movies and sonys with your existing drives.
2. should have supported sd or cf cards and not stupid memorystick crap.
why should be pay double for memorystick?
i guess sony never learned from minidisc, proprietary stuff doesn't work. the psp could have been a must have for everyone, and not to mention an ipod killer with just the two changes i mentioned above, idiots. they came so close to ruling the world. – by jsymth
|no (10:39pm est thu aug 04 2005)
i doubt that they can release an update for ds because that was noty their original intention. if they did, you would have to buy it. also, the wireless card was designed for only 30 feet away and the only way that they can change that is to completely redo the ds with new drivers and a new wireless card. – by reply
|psp and ds (2:13am est sat aug 06 2005)
i have both systems, and the psp is a lot better. i thought the psp was $400, so i bought a ds. i made a big mistake. the ds is only good for picto chat, and thats about it. mario was a fun game, only because i'm a huge n64 fan. but sony is starting to take control of the video game market, and nintendo fans will have to face it sooner or later.

maybe psp is starting to win some territory against ds, but ds is still winning in worldwide sales. yes, maybe psp will start to own the sales by the time it launches in europe… but short after that ds will start to slap off psp with the white glove, with games that 'sell consoles'. those games are franchises such as like mario kart (online, anyone?), metroid prime: hunters, new super mario bros., animal crossing (online, too), the kiss of death, pokemon, even meteos, kirby: canvas curse, lost in blue, nintendogs, ff iii, possibly starcraft (i don't refer diablo only because it will possibly be out for ds such as psp), bust a move, guilty gears, xenosaga, with rare developing for it, maybe perfetc dark, banjo kazooie/tooie, with 25 developers working on online games…………. and i could go on with the list, but it is too big and i'm too lazy. and there will be many fpss and rtss games for ds, cuz it has the perfect controls for it. now, to all this possible games + single-cart multiplayer + online mode = huge success!! no matter what you say. – by whisky

Moderate face of Syrian uprising quits
The head of Syria's main opposition group resigned on Sunday, weakening the moderate wing of the two-year revolt against President Bashar al-Assad's rule and complicating Western efforts to back the rebels.
The resignation of Moaz Alkhatib, a former imam of the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus who had offered Assad a negotiated exit, could make the West more cautious in supporting the revolt. Alkhatib was seen as a moderate bulwark against the rising influence of al-Qaeda linked jihadist forces.
Syrian opposition leaders are due to attend an Arab League summit this week, Qatar said earlier on Sunday, looking for more support for their armed uprising.
Michael Stephens, researcher at the Royal United Services Institute in Doha, said Alkhatib's resignation throws a spanner into the summit.
"The premise of the summit is to determine whether the opposition has a legitimate right to sit with Arab states," Stephens said. "While Khatib may have blamed the EU summit, it is well known that the Arab League is meeting today, and his resignation will have a serious effect on the process."
Alkhatib was picked to head the Western and Gulf-backed National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces, which was formed in Qatar in November.
His resignation is seen as having been to some degree caused by Qatar, the main backer of his political foes in the coalition, and the country spearheading Arab support for the revolt as its geopolitical ramifications deepen.
The conflict pits Syria's Sunni Muslim majority against Assad's Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shi'ite Islam that has controlled the country for almost five decades, deepening the Sunni-Shi'ite divide in the Middle East and raising tension between Gulf states and Iran.
Asked to comment on Alkhatib's resignation, Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim al-Thani said in Doha: "We are very sorry for this, and I hope he reviews his resignation."
Promise to God
Alkhatib quit after the coalition berated him for offering Assad a deal and after the group went ahead, despite his objections, with steps to form a provisional government that would have further diminished his authority.
"I had promised the great Syrian people and promised God that I would resign if matters reached some red lines," Alkhatib said in a statement on his official Facebook page, without explaining exactly what had prompted his resignation.
"Now I am fulfilling my promise and announcing my resignation from the National Coalition in order to be able to work with freedom that cannot be available within the official institutions," he said.
U.S. Secretary John Kerry, on a trip to Baghdad, expressed regret at Alhatib's decision.
"With respect to Moaz Alkhatib, I am personally sorry to see him go because I like him on a personal level and because I have appreciated his leadership but the notion that he might resign has frankly been expressed by him on many different occasions in many different places and it is not a surprise," Kerry said.
He made an unannounced visit to Iraq on Sunday and said he told Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki of his concern about Iranian flights over Iraq carrying arms to Syria.
"Anything that supports President Assad is problematic," Kerry told reporters.
Rise of Islamists
Last week, the coalition chose Islamist-leaning technocrat Ghassan Hitto as a provisional prime minister to form a government to fill a power vacuum in Syria arising from the revolt that has killed more than 70,000 people.
Alkhatib, who had argued insufficient groundwork had been done to start forming a government, was weakened considerably, along with a moderate wing of the revolution as jihadist Salafists play a bigger role on the battlefield.
The rise of Salafists as the most effective fighting force, and their recent gains on the ground, have contributed to the coalition adopting a more hardline stance in recent weeks, rejecting dialogue with Assad except under strict conditions and ignoring promises to include more women and minorities.
Hitto, whose cabinet is supposed to govern rebel-held areas currently ruled by hundreds of brigades and emerging warlords, was backed by the Muslim Brotherhood and coalition Secretary General Mustafa Sabbagh, who has strong links with Qatar.
"Basically Qatar and the Brotherhood forced Alkhatib out. In Alkhatib they had a figure who was gaining popularity inside Syria but he acted too independently for their taste," said Fawaz Tello, an independent opposition campaigner.
"They brought in Hitto. The position of Alkhatib as leader became untenable."
The appointment of Hitto prompted nine people to suspend their membership in the 62-member body, saying that promises to reform the coalition and respect consensus have been discarded.
Earlier this year, Alkhatib floated an initiative for the opposition to talk to Assad's administration about a political transition, but said the Damascus government did not respond.
In his statement, Alkhatib added: "We will follow the path with our brothers who aim for the freedom of our people."
He said official positions were "means to serve noble objectives" and not an aim in themselves.
Moaz al-Shami, a leading activist in Damascus, said Alkhatib's resignation deprived the coalition, which consists mostly of exiles, of the figure best-known inside Syria, but that Alkhatib still could still play a major role in the revolt.
Alawite opposition activists called for Assad's overthrow on Sunday and urged their co-religionists in the army to rebel.
In the first meeting of its kind by Alawites who support the revolt, delegates distanced themselves from Assad.
"We call on our brothers in the Syrian army, specifically members of our sect, not to take up arms against their people and to refuse to join the army," the delegates said in a statement after two days of meeting in Cairo.

Tesco Bank today launched one of the cheapest mortgage deals to hit the high street in years. This two-year fixed-rate deal is priced at just 1.99pc. The supermarket bank said it was government funding that had enabled it to offer such a low deal. This "Funding for Lending" scheme was initially designed to help boost mortgage lending for first-time buyers.
But this Tesco deal is only available to those who have at least a 40pc deposit (or 40pc equity for those remortgaging). You don't have to analyse the vast data or sources from its Clubcard scheme to know this isn't the profile of your average first-time buyer.
It's not the only bank that is using the funding to improve the mortgage deals available to those who already have sizeable equity in their home. As Sylvia Waycott from Moneyfacts pointed out: these borrowers already have access to cheap and plentiful lending. For those looking to borrow 90pc of their property – or less that are struggling – to date neither the availability of such home loans, nor their price has significantly improved.
And at the same time this Government scheme is being blamed for the latest round of savings rates cuts, as its cheaper for lenders to access this funding rather than attract retail deposits. So not so much a case of "Every Little Helps", more a case of it further hindering the market.

Peter is the rock on which God built His church. But fist, Peter was probably the worst disciple ever. I am Peter.
Jesus tells Peter the Peter will deny Him 3 times; Peter says, "No! I love you, I could never deny you, Lord." Yet we all know that Peter does in fact deny Jesus 3 times. I know in my heart and my soul and the core of my being that I LOVE the Lord, that I would do anything for Him, go to the ends of the earth for Him, but how often do i forget to give the Glory back to His name? How often do I take compliments without giving Him the credit, without the honor and praise back to God who has given me this work? Do I, as Peter, deny Jesus the glory that is His?
Jesus told His disciples that it was God's will for Him to be arrested. He went willingly when the soldiers came to take Him, but enthusiastic, loving Peter raised his sword and cut off a soldier's ear. I'm sure Jesus chuckled and shook His head as He put the ear right back on the man. "put your sword away," Jesus commanded, "shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?" I am Peter. I have my own time frame. When I don't see things happening, I try to make them happen. And Jesus says, "Put away your sword, put away your plans. Shall we not do what the Father has asked of us?" So like Peter, I put away my plans, my defenses, and watch as everything happens perfectly, in God's own timing.
After Jesus had risen, He appeared to His disciples while they were fishing. When Peter saw his beloved Savior, He excitedly jumped out of the boat and began swimming where Jesus stood. Needless to say, the boat probably reached the shore long before Peter. I am Peter. Excitedly jumping into things, and then standing, sopping wet, at the feet of the Lord, smiling at my stupidity. I get excited, forget to think things through, and end up doing them the long way. Every time, though, just as with Peter, Jesus welcomes my soaking wet self into His arms and is simply happy to see me.
I am Peter who made many mistakes, but I am Peter who God had great plans for, who God established to do His work. Peter is the rock on which Jesus built His church. The very night that Perter foolishly jumped out of the boat, Jesus reinstated Him in the presence of the other disciples. "Do you truly love me?" He asked. "Then feed my lambs." "Do you really love me? Take care of my lambs." "Peter, DO YOU LOVE me? Feed my sheep, and come. Come follow Me."
For each time that I deny God the Glory that is His, for each time I follow my will instead of listening to His, for each time I jump ahead without first consulting my Lord, He asks, "Daughter, do you truly love me?" and I do. "Feed my sheep." And I will. And I do. "Come follow me." And I am, or at least I am trying.
I am Peter. I mess up. I make mistakes, I am far from perfect, and God will use me. God will establish great things through me. You are Peter. God already knows that you will make a mess, but His plan for you is great. Go. Feed His sheep.

My Brush With Supermodel-dom:
A Birthday Story
A Birthday Story Posted on October 29th, 2012 in Musings.
Today is my 40th Birthday! In honor of that I thought I'd share some footage from one of my best birthdays ever!
As far back as I can remember I would dress up in whatever I could my hands on -clothes, sheets, blanket, towels, anything. So, it makes sense that at 17 and ¾, I was a fashion magazine and model fanatic.
My teenage walls were plastered with magazine tear sheets of all the original super models of the 90s: Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford and Christy Turlington. I desperately wanted to be a model myself. I was signed by the Wilhemena Modeling Agency and I was starting to book small jobs here and there but mostly I spent a lot of time in front of the mirror honing my modeling skills. Malcolm Gladwell said you need like 1000 hours of practice to become a master. Well, by the time I left my room at 17 I had logged an easy 900.
Super Model-dom was way out of my reach until my mother got a call asking her to walk in the Thierry Mugler Fashion Show in Paris. I don't think she could have cared less about walking in a fashion show but she knew that I would shit my Guess jeans at the chance to model for real. Plus, I was only a couple of weeks shy of my 18th birthday. So, my wonderful mother agreed to walk in the show as long as they allowed her daughter to model in the show as well.
Cut to my 18th birthday present:
Linda, Naomi, Cindy and CHRISTY (my favorite- I think I look like her-hahaha) on the plane. And not just any plane, THE CONCORDE!
I was so excited I could hardly contain myself. I think I kept my composure, but I can't really be sure. I mean these were the women from my walls, and now I was flying with them to the Paris Shows like it was totally normal.
If you're unfamiliar with a Thierry Mugler Fashion show, imagine a Blade Runner porno with a dash of drag queens. It's like that. His shows were like Broadway productions!!! They were extravaganzas with performances sprinkled between models walking. Thierry Mugler was a defining force in 90s fashion.

Over all it helped the way the tranny shifts which was the biggest reason for buying it. As far as power goes it may have helped some but it was not as much as we had hoped.

The 46-year-old actress was also joined by her Nashville co-star Kimberly Williams-Paisley at the event.
Connie recently told Rolling Stone that she would love to return to American Horror Story!
"I hope so. I've actually been talking to them this season, because they're down in New Orleans and I'm in Nashville. I said, 'Okay, let's see if we can try to figure this out,'" Connie said. "I'm like, 'I'll put [on a pointy witch hat] and jump on a plane and go to New Orleans.' Yes, I would do that. As long as we can figure it out with both productions, I'm in. I hope it happens."

In historic times, Princeville was a haven for Hawaiian royalty and is now home to Kauai's most famous luxury hotel, along with world-class golf courses, high-end estates and condos. Princeville was named after a famous visit by Prince Albert Kamehameha in 1860, who was visiting a local plantation. Located in the North Shore of Kauai, Princeville is the perfect destination for a relaxing getaway, although there is plenty to do as well, from shopping and fine dining to the lush green mountains and views overlooking majestic Hanalei Bay.
Definitely stop by the St. Regis Princeville Resort for breakfast overlooking Hanalei Bay, a round of golf, or indulge in a tropical-inspired treatment at their Halele'a Spa, which is an 11,000-square-foot architectural wonder that offers 12 treatment rooms and exemplifies the Aloha spirit with signature personalized service. Other popular golf courses include Line Nine Golf Course, Woods Nine Golf Course and Ocean Nine Golf Course. Check out Queen's Bath off Kapiolani Loop, which is a basin of water that is created during low tide when the surf gets trapped among lava rocks and turns into a warm bathing pool. Queen's Bath was named after Prince Albert's mother and is most ideal during the summer months, but is completely closed to visitors during the winter (and during high tide when the surf can be deadly). Go shopping at the Princeville Shopping Center, which has views of Bali Hai and Kauai's ancient taro fields. Go for a tour of the lush Princeville Botanical Gardens, take a hike at Hideaways Beach, and see the entire island during a helicopter tour with Sunshine Helicopters Princeville for an amazing experience. Enjoy a drive along the Na Pali Coast, a 15-mile stretch of rugged coastline on the northwestern shore of Kauai, and don't forget to stop in Na Pali Coast State Park for a hike and waterfall visit during your journey.
The nearby town of Hanalei is just 11-minutes away and is home to a flourishing art scene with historical vibes. Other places that make for great day trips include Lihue, Kapaa and Poipu. Lihue is the central commercial center of Kauai and is where the Lihue Airport is located. Kapaa means "solid" in Hawaiian, and is located on the eastern side of the island. It has lots of shopping centers as well as the Coconut Marketplace, which is filled with antique and craft shops. Poipu is located in Kauai's South Shore and is home to some of the best beaches for swimming, diving and water sports.
Due to its popularity as a resort town, Princeville is home to countless condos and homes that many residents rent out to vacationers. It contains a mixture of upscale single-family homes and condos, and the entire neighborhood is beautifully landscaped. There are many large homes and condos located on Kuhio Highway (also known as Route 56), which is the main highway on the north and east shore of Kauai. Many of these homes enjoy vast ocean and nature views. Besides ocean-facing properties, there are beautiful homes up in the mountains that are situated on large plots of land, surrounded by lush acres of greenery, and make for great vacation rentals – especially if you have a larger party.
There are numerous rental car companies on the island, and you can easily pick one up at Lihue Airport. Rental cars are the ideal form of transportation around Princeville so that you can get to other parts of the island whenever you want, but you can also catch taxis which are fairly abundant as well. There is also the local Kauai Bus that services the island and has numerous routes, including two that stop at Lihue Airport.

House training a dog is very easy but requires patience. Whether starting with a puppy or an adult dog, begin with newspaper or training pads. Once the dog understands the concept of going in a particular spot, start training him to go outside. Most dogs house train in two weeks to a month.Continue Reading
Pick a place in the house that's private and can be easily cleaned. Spread fresh newspaper or training pads over trash bags. Mark the paper or pads with the dog's urine and feces. Take the dog to the training area immediately after he wakes up, eats and plays. Be sure to keep the dog's training area clean, and reward your dog for using the training area properly.
Start yard training once your dog regularly goes on the paper. Take the dog outside first thing in the morning. Because dogs are pack animals who learn new skills in groups, be sure to go outside with him. Use the same indicators from paper training, taking the dog outside after sleep, after meals and after play, and remember to take the dog outside just before bedtime.
Be patient with accidents, and discipline immediately, hopefully while the dog is in the act. Discipline after the fact doesn't work. During yard training, take the dog out by the same door every time. Most importantly, until you're certain your pet can wait to be let out, keep a training area ready in the house.


text: Regis University Athletics Honored by NCAA for Academic Success – Graduates 94% of Student-Athletes May 30, 2014 The Regis University athletic department was one of 27 schools in NCAA Division II honored by the NCAA for the Presidents' Award for Academic Excellence. The award is given to all schools that have achieved at least a 90 percent Academic Success Rate over a four-year span. The Rangers have graduated 94 percent of all student-athletes within six years of original enrollment from 2003-06. Regis is the only school from the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference to attain such high honors. The Rangers ranked seventh of the 292 active Division II members that are eligible. "This is quite an honor for our student-athletes, coaches, department and Regis," said Director of Athletics Ann Martin. "This is a testament to the hard work of our teams and the support of our faculty and staff here at Regis." "We're very proud of our Regis University student-athletes. Their success is a testament to Jesuit education as it is lived and practiced at Regis," said Regis President John P. Fitzgibbons, S.J. The Academic Success Rate measures graduation success for Division II schools. As a result of Division II's unique qualities, the ASR measures the graduation success of virtually all Division II student-athletes, including transfers and those not receiving athletics scholarships, which distinguishes it from Division I's Graduation Success Rate. Approximately 56 percent of Division II student-athletes receive some level of athletics aid. Regis University, inspired by its Jesuit Catholic heritage, has been committed to academic excellence, personal development and community engagement since its founding in 1877. Based in Denver, Colo., Regis provides values-based education at the undergraduate, graduate and doctoral levels. Regis University is Colorado's only Jesuit Catholic university and is the academic home to more than 14,000 traditional and non-traditional students.
