Lana J. Bates explains the history and art associated with traditional paper quilling.
Quilling, first known as paper filigree, is the art of rolling thin strips of paper, bending and molding these curls into shapes, then putting the shapes together to form designs.
In the 4th and 5th centuries, extremely intricate, lacelike filigree work of fine gold and silver wire was found on ancient pillars, vases, and tombs in various parts of Europe. Around the 13th century, similar ornamental work became popular in Spain, Italy, and France, but by now the artists used strips of paper, rolled loosely, placed on edge, and gilded to resemble precious metal. It supposedly fooled even experts at first glance. During this period, paper filigree was almost exclusively the work of nuns and monks, who decorated religious articles with it.
Paper filigree did not win recognition as a major art form until the late 17th century, when it began to appear as other than purely religious ornamentation. Seventeenth and 18th century tea caddies, coats of arms, and picture frames containing paper filigree are now in various museums and private collections throughout the United States and Europe. By the Victorian era, fashionable ladies began to learn paper filigree along with embroidery and needlepoint.
The term quilling, as we call the craft today, is probably American. Some say the paper was originally curled around a feather quill. Others claim that once the strips of paper are curled and released, they resemble a row of barbs on a feather, or quill. Most surviving early American quilled pieces are sconces and coats of arms, many of them from the Boston area. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, other museums, and private collections have quillworks dating back to the 1600s.
After the early 19th century, no notable works of quilling appeared, and by 1950 the craft seemed a nearly lost art. Since then, as handicrafts have gained in popularity, quilling, too, has had a small revival. I think it's here to stay.
See the image gallery for pictures of these paper quilling shapes.
Tight Coil: Roll from one end tightly. Hold until glued. Release from tool, and glue the end.
Loose Coil: Roll from one end tightly, then loosen tension and release from tool. Glue one end, pulling edges to one side.
V-Shape: Fold the paper in half. Roll each end outward, away from the fold. If desired, secure the V's point with glue.
Beehive: After rolling and gluing a tight coil, push the inside up from the center with a pencil or other blunt object to contour its shape. This adds dimension. Glue inside.
Teardrop: Make a loose coil. Pinch one end to a point.
Petal: Bend the tip of a teardrop slightly to one side.
Diamond: Start with a loose coil and pinch the opposite ends. Shape with the fingers so that the center remains in the middle.
Leaf: Bend one or more ends of a diamond.
Heart: Fold the strip of paper in half. Roll the ends inward toward the center of the fold. Glue the adjoining edges.
Lana Bates, who considers herself a self-taught craftsperson, has also taken art courses at the Universities of Connecticut and Hartford, as well as the Wadsworth Atheneum. She has experimented with sculpting, painting, collage, pastels, drawing, and, during the past decade, quilling.

The fight started well for Yordan who's pressure neutralised the good boxing skills of Taliwe. In the middle rounds it was the turn of Taliwe to have success, especially in an blistering 6th round, which was by far the best round of the contest.
Unfortunately as the action went on the later rounds the action became scrappy and messy. Taliwe was deducted a point holding whilst he was forced to take a number of eye watering low blows. Had Yordan not been the favourite he'd have almost certainly been deducted a point for those.
Due to the fact the fact had been close with each man having their clear rounds and several rounds being very competitive it was fair to say we were expecting a close decision. This was reflected in the fact we ended up with a split decision, unfortunately however two of the cards a bit wide for liking.
The score of 114-113, in favour of Taliwe seemed slightly too generous to the South African, but scores of 117-110 and 116-111 to Yordan were too generous the other way.
With the win Yordan retains his title though with he ballsy, literally, performance of Taliwe it'd be great to see him in action again. We're hoping that maybe we'll get a rematch or maybe we could see Taliwe visiting Japan or Thailand sometime in 2014.

With my sewing machines packed and on a crate heading towards Texas, I am left with just handwork to do. The only project I kept out was my Sarah's Revival blocks.
The only problem with that was I didn't keep a lamp and the lighting isn't very cooperative most days to work on it.
I did, however, manage to get one block finished.
It is still wrinkly since I don't have an iron to press it right now.
On to block 9 (I started block 8 and I clipped the background fabric really well, so I will have to re-prep block 8).

Why See Finding Neverland?
The Broadway smash
After thrilling audiences on Broadway, the magical Finding Neverland heads out across the country on a national tour. Based on the Oscar-winning movie starring Johnny Depp, Finding Neverland tells the story of author J.M.Barrie and the family who inspired his greatest work - Peter Pan! Interweaving Barrie's real life story with flights of fancy that take you deep into the world of Captain Hook and The Lost Boys, this musical is an inspiring ode to the creative spirit and speaks to the child in all of us!
Peter flys to New York
Backed by Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein, Finding Neverland premiered at Boston's Loeb Drama Center in 2014, before packing its bags for the bright lights of Broadway. With a stellar cast led by Glee's Matthew Morrisson and Frasier's Kelsey Grammar, the show opened at the Lunt Fontanne Theatre to box office reciepts regularly topping $1 million a week and reviews praising its technical wizardry.
The show's bubbly pop score comes courtesy of British singer Gary Barlow (formerly of the boy band Take That) and Grammy Award-winning songwriter Eliot Kennedy, who's penned tunes for the likes of The Spice Girls and Bryan Adams.
Scottish playwright J.M.Barrie may be a household name today, but back in the late 1800s, when Finding Neverland begins, he wasn't the greatest of successes. His latest work had proved to be yet another in a long line of theatrical flops, and Barrie was in desperate need of a change in fortunes. Enter the Llewelyn family, comprised of Sylivia and her four boys. After a chance encounter in Kensington Park, Barrie becomes a close family friend to the Llewelyns, and inspired by the children's boundless imagination and sense of adventure, begins work on the play which would write his name into the history books.

Another entry moving up IMSA's prototype development ladder
CORE autosport confirmed today its entry into the 2011 American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patrón. A title-winning operation in IMSA's 2010 Cooper Tires Prototype Lites Championship, CORE is moving up the prototype ladder to the LMP Challenge class in the American Le Mans Series. Its new cars are scheduled to arrive at the CORE autosport headquarters within one week.
"This deal has been in the works for awhile and I am pleased to announce that we will be running an LMPC car in 2011," states team principal and driver Jon Bennett. "The LMPC class is the next logical step for us after capturing the Cooper Tires Prototype Lites Championship. Although we made the decision to buy two cars our primary objective is to run a solid one-car program. Then we will evaluate bringing the second car online under the right circumstances."
The 2011 season will mark the second of the LMPC class, which features ORECA's FLM09 prototype. LMPC was hotly contested all season with both the team and driver championships not decided until the last race of the year at Road Atlanta. CORE wrapped up the L1 class team title that same weekend, and Charlie Shears won the driver championship in the Cooper Tires Prototype Lites series.
LMPC is the middle rung in a development ladder within IMSA, the sanctioning body of the American Le Mans Series, that is designed to build and advance the next generation of endurance racing drivers and teams.
"This is further proof that the ladder system we are building within the American Le Mans Series and IMSA is working," said Scott Atherton, President and CEO of the American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patrón. "Programs such as this one being confirmed today by CORE autosport validate the decisions we made to form a pipeline of opportunities from our IMSA development series to the American Le Mans Series – in both LMP and GT platforms. We are understandably honored and grateful for the commitment of Jon Bennett and everyone at CORE and wish them the best of luck for the 2011 season."
"Since our inception, we've been carefully planning our progress with the objective of fielding an ALMS entry," said Morgan Brady, Team Manager. "An LMPC entry provides more visibility for the team and additional opportunities for our drivers, sponsors and partners. We're looking for drivers who want to be part of a growing, ambitious team in the American Le Mans Series."
To properly support the LMPC program, CORE has secured the services of Burke Harrison as Race Engineer and Mike Sales as Crew Chief. "Bringing on experienced people like Burke and Mike represents my commitment to making this team a success," says Bennett.
Added Brady, "I have worked with Burke Harrison in the past and have lot of confidence in his ability to put a solid car on track every weekend. Mike Sales has a long list of experience which is an asset to a new team like ours."
"After having spent many years in open-wheel and more recently ALMS, I'm looking forward to the challenges of working with a new team like CORE autosport and achieving success in the American Le Mans Series," Sales said.
The team is scheduled to begin offseason testing by the middle of December. As of this date, CORE has yet to finalize a driver lineup but is expecting to do so as early as possible. Interested drivers should contact Brady at email@example.com.
CORE autosport and the rest of the American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patrón will open the 2011 season at the 59th Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring presented by Fresh from Florida on Saturday, March 19. Visit the American Le Mans Series' schedule page for information on tickets and area accommodations.

Losing weight will not directly add measurable size to your penis… this is an incorrect theory…
Just like they say you can tell how big a man's penis is by measuring from the bottom of his hand to the top of his middle finger, or half the size of his foot… a complete myth. I received an email the other day from a 6'4″, 280 pound college football player, with a size 13 foot… complaining of having a 4.5 inch erection.
However, losing weight will be beneficial to your penis, and can indirectly make your penis seem bigger… for a couple of reasons:
- Losing weight removes fat out of the way, so that you can see more of the penis, and penetrate deeper into a woman without your stomach getting in the way
- More "inner penis" can become "outter penis" (did you know that's penis enlargement surgery for length works? The cutting of ligaments, so that inner penis comes outside?)
- Less stomach fat = better testosterone production = leads to a bigger flaccid hang
And this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Even a small reduction in belly fat can help access more of your penis, so how to lose the gut?
Now that you know having less stomach fat is beneficial to your penis, here are some tips to lose the gut:
Begin lifting weights. The more muscle mass you have on your body, the faster you burn fat (even when you're sleeping). It also increases testosterone production, which improves metabolism. Eat two hours before your workout (light carbs, good protein)… so you're not working out hungry (bad), but your food is digested, and it's not digesting during the workout. Then eat another meal (light carbs, good protein) immediately after the workout (as soon as possible), to keep the muscle you gained during the workout.
Drink tons of water throughout the day. Staying hydrated improves metabolism.
Eat heavier earlier in the day, lighter later in the day.
Sleep is highly important to metabolism. Turn off electronics for at least 30 minutes before sleeping, and if you have trouble sleeping, have a snack with some carbs in it. The carb spike helps you sleep better. Better sleep, better metabolism, and better testosterone!
Drink milk, milk drinkers on average have been shown to have lower weight.
Be strong, stay away from sweets and junk food. But treat yourself a couple of times a week… learn to eat little pieces instead of the whole thing. Or intentionally always leave a portion of your meal.
Get some cardio in!
The formula is simple: burn more calories in a day than you take in = lose weight.
Get a little disciplined, and your penis will thank you… and so will your lover, and so will your body, and so will your sex drive.
If you are interested in actually adding some length and girth to your erection, manual exercises actually do work. I've added some substantial size. I know it's hard to believe this works, so this photo proof should help. And it doesn't require losing any weight!
Have a good one! Any questions, shoot them over!

Flu vaccination rates down among seniors — but up for LTC workers
More long-term care workers are getting vaccinated against flu than ever before, but inoculation rates among those they care for have dropped significantly, according to federal health officials.
Overall flu shot coverage has continued to increase among all healthcare workers, officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases shared Thursday during a press conference. Long-term care workers showed an especially notable increase in vaccination rates, reaching 69% during the 2015-2106 flu season, compared to 64% the previous season.
That increase is an encouraging trend for a group of workers that cares for some of the country's frailest patients, said CDC Director Tom Frieden, M.D., M.P.H.
"This is progress, but it still leaves too many unprotected from flu," Frieden added. "The more people who get vaccinated, the fewer preventable illnesses, hospitalizations and deaths from flu we will see in the coming months."
Older adults had the most significant decreases in vaccination rates over the last flu season, the CDC reported. Rates for those over the age of 65 dropped 3.3 percentage points to 63.4%. Meanwhile, the vaccination rate dropped 3.4 percentage points to 43.6% of adults between ages 50 and 64.
Officials didn't give reasons why the rates decreased, but noted that the drops are "concerning" since seniors are disproportionately affected by the flu.
"During the severe 2014-2015 season, more than three-quarters of the nearly one million people hospitalized due to influenza were age 65 years and older," said William Schaffner, M.D., medical director for the NFID. "Vaccination not only reduces the chance that older adults will get the flu, it can help keep them out of the hospital by reducing the severity of the infection and related complications if they do get the flu."

Throw away the excess. Fall into the new world of "Listen to Me."
Currently, people listen to music with mp3 players, CD players, or navigation, but the wires and machines crowd the car and inconvenience the people in the car. This application acts like a car movie theater, which uses radio waves to listen to sound from the car speaker. "Listen to Me" allows the user to listen to music via Bluetooth. Later, I will update "Listen to Me" for someone who doesn't have a car with Bluetooth.
Using the "Listen to Me" application, you can listen to navigation, mp3 music, and watch DMB while riding in the car. The app can read text messages when you are driving. Also, it supports hands-free talking on the phone. It can make your car clean, because you can remove the excess wires from your car. Further, you do not need to download new music with your computer. Instead, you can download new music from a smartphone using WIFI and listen to the music immediately. This system is far more comfortable and convenient than using multiple devices. While this app may sound complicated, users will find "Listen to Me" easy to use.
Don't read the text message. Just listen. This app can read the text message from someone for a person with disabilities. For a person driving, you can listen to a text message from your car speakers. The app also allows your smartphone to turn into a mouse on a laptop computer-supported Bluetooth.
Users who use a laptop computer do not need to bring an additional mouse on trips.
Throw away the excess. Fall into the new world of "Listen to Me."

"The entire EMTM experience was a mind stretch. It has turned on my creativity by giving me a twenty-year view of where technology is going."
Judith Zosh, MA, EMTM'03
Vice President, IT Risk Management
JPMorgan Chase & Co.
New York, NY
Judith Zosh, MA, EMTM'03
A Creative Mind Stretch
Prior to EMTM, Judith Zosh's management and technology training was on the job. Her undergraduate and graduate degrees were in international studies at Johns Hopkins University, but she has been involved in information technology management for more than 20 years, having previously worked in MIS for several investment banks and consulting firms before joining JPMorgan. Judith enrolled in EMTM knowing that "leaders of the future have to be innovative and have a broader technology perspective."
Now she herself has become a leader who is bringing that broad perspective to her work. Since graduating, Judith has also tapped into the diverse talents of EMTM students by sponsoring a corporate application project that gave a team of 5 students hands-on experience addressing a technology challenge for JPMorgan.
Why EMTM?
Judith knew that she wanted to acquire core business skills from a top school and initially assumed that she would pursue an MBA. However, she also knew that she did not want to become an investment banker. She wanted to continue to be grounded in technology, serving the bank by demonstrating the appropriate value technology brings to the core business. When she came across an announcement for EMTM and discovered what the program had to offer, she stopped her application to an executive MBA program, realizing that she would be able to fulfill both of her objectives within the EMTM program.
Career Impact
Since she enrolled in EMTM in 1999, Judith has been promoted four times. As Global Applications Delivery Manager for Shared Technology Operations, she created standards for technology services across JPMorgan Chase offices worldwide. She cites the program as instrumental to her success in meeting this challenge. "Because of my EMTM training, I was able to do this quickly and comprehensively. I understood the process, the language and how and what to analyze in making decisions."
Judith next served as Global Product Manager in the Technology Infrastructure group, and is now Manager of Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery for the Global Technology Infrastructure Group. Her goal: "To continue to have a larger influence over the direction that technology takes in the firm."
Judith believes that she is now able to identify and assess new opportunities. She is able to articulate the value propositions of various technology investments "in business terms." She credits the program with giving her the structure and the confidence to form close working relationships with business partners and the ability to aid in the formulation of appropriate strategy.
For Judith, unexpected benefits of the program include:
- The level of energy, bonding and trust she felt within the student body. "Perhaps, because the class is made up of engineers and technical people who are used to collaborating and doing project management, we were able to build on each others' strengths and easily take turns in the leadership of the group. Our group experience was substantively more collaborative than those reported by friends who have been in other executive masters programs."
- The quality of the instructors. "There were times when I was literally in awe, hanging on every word. The insights into emerging technologies were fascinating. The entire EMTM experience was a mind stretch. It has turned on my creativity by giving me a twenty-year view of where technology is going."
- The degree to which she was able to leverage the learning from the program immediately back on the job. "I was able to put together the marketing plan for a web center of excellence within JPMorgan as a result of classes in Marketing Strategies and e-Commerce Marketing. I would not have been able to take on this special project had it not been for EMTM. People at work have repeatedly told me that I am not a typical IT person. The degree to which I have been able to align my contributions to the needs and values of the lines of business has enabled me to stand out as an innovator."
- "I frankly didn't expect to love it so much. I'd go to class at the end of a long, busy week at work, and I'd find myself having an adrenalin rush on the train, eager to get my intellectual batteries charged again."

This website allows users to refine searches by the drivetrain type as well as by more common search options, such as mileage, condition, make, model and location.
A similar search at TruckPaper.com yields more than 4,000 listings, with many of them in an auction format and others for sale at set prices. This website features extensive search tool options, allowing refinement by suspension type, axle weight rating and type, truck length and engine make. Shoppers can refine searches to include only salvaged trucks; several salvaged models are listed, which could provide substantial savings.
Two sites that could provide savings to frugal buyers or people willing to make truck repairs include GovDeals.com, which lists some 1-ton dump trucks in an auction format, and Craigslist.org, which lists some 1-ton dump trucks at lower prices than typically found elsewhere. Some of these vehicles may need repairs.Learn more about Buying & Selling

Antonelli College-Cincinnati teamed up with Plaza Art Supply and the Cincinnati Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association to play a part in this year's Greater Cincinnati/ Northern Kentucky Walk to End Alzheimer's Disease®. Antonelli was invited to create a "Memory Wall" to be set up at the main entrance of the walk to encourage those participating to leave messages, memories, drawings, paintings, or photographs to commemorate loved ones currently struggling with the disease as well as those who have passed. Cincinnatians and Kentuckians alike turned out in droves to show their support for ending this terrible disease and many left their marks on the wall to show that their memories live on.
Both Antonelli College faculty and students representing nearly all programs attended to help with the installation and execution of the event. This year's Walk to End Alzheimer's surpassed its goal of reaching half a million dollars by raising over $518,000. The wall will be taken on tour by the Alzheimer's Association to local nursing homes and fundraisers to collect more memories over the coming months with the hope of collecting funds for the advancement of research to finally find a cure.
The Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's® is the world's largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer's care, support and research. Held annually in more than 600 communities nationwide and 5 locations in our region, this inspiring event calls on participants of all ages and abilities to reclaim the future for millions.

MONTREAL — Competition has heated-up considerably in the Canuck TV market thanks to the beefing up of the country's two top broadcasters, CTV and Global Television.
Canada's top telecom company BCE Inc., which controls Bell Canada, took-over CTV last year in a C$2.3 billion ($1.5 billion) deal.
CanWest Global, which owns Global Television, also strengthened its position last year by acquiring eight television stations to become a fully national web with stations in all Canada's key markets.
The year also saw both BCE and CanWest Global acquire major newspaper and new media properties, which company execs say will help them promote their TV stations and take advantage of cross-media synergies, particularly on the Internet.
All of which will have CTV and Global fighting even more ferociously than usual over who gets which hot American TV properties. Both webs have schedules largely dominated in prime-time by imported U.S. fare.
Like the U.S., some of the hottest shows on Canuck TV are reality programs. CTV took an early lead in the reality sweepstakes by picking up "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire," but Global followed suit by buying the rights to "Survivor." The second season of "Survivor" has delivered boffo ratings for Global and helped the web's already-strong Thursday night.
Doug Hoover, national veepee of programming at Global, says that reality shows have had a major impact on the Canadian TV market, noting that City-TV garnered stellar ratings with "Temptation Island" and that "Survivor" has helped add momentum to Global's entire schedule.
"It's been good but at some point the public will become disenchanted, the same way they did with game shows," adds Hoover.
CTV and Global tend to buy most of their foreign programming from Hollywood at the L.A. Screening rather than at Mip. But the growing number of Canuck specialty channels will be out in full force at the Cannes mart.
Isme Bennie, director of programming and acquisitions for Bravo (Canada) and Space, will be at Mip looking to fill the small number of open slots on the two CHUM-owned networks.

MEMO TO: Vice Presidents, Deans, Directors, Chairs and Administrative Heads
FROM: President Robert L. Caret
SUBJECT: Presidential Directive 00-01, Bank and
Investment of State and Non-State Funds
The banking and investment of state and non-state funds by the University, auxiliaries, alumni groups, academic departments, centers and institutes, is complex and often confusing. This Directive outlines the basic policies of SJSU, and is designed to provide a resource for all members of the campus community, especially new members, to help them determine the most appropriate handling of funds under their care.
Adherence of this policy will ensure that money is accounted for appropriately and that annual audits for financial review are minimized by the aggregation of the endowments in an investment pool. All accounts that are not currently in conformance with this policy must be brought into compliance by July 1, 2000.
STATE APPROPRIATED FUNDS: are held at the State Treasury. The most common state appropriated fund is the General Fund; however, there are other state-appropriated funds. Non-appropriated state money must be remitted to the State Treasury or deposited in a local trust account. The State of California allows the University to have banking arrangements with only five institutions. These institutions are Sanwa Bank, Union Bank of California, USBank, WestAmerica Bank and Bank of America, which currently serves as the University's banking provider. Money deposited into local trust accounts must meet one of the criteria established in Education Code 89721 (see attachment #1). This money may be invested as prescribed by the CSU investment policy and the pertinent sections of the Government Code (see attachment #2). To establish a local trust account, contact the Financial Reporting Department.
AUXILIARIES: although associated with the University, are
separate legal and financial entities and may bank and invest their
funds separate from state funds restrictions, as long as it is in
accordance with procedures and policies accepted by their boards of
THE SAN JOSE STATE UNIVERSITY FOUNDATION: which is itself an
auxiliary and is therefore governed in its use of bank and
investment firms by the policies of its board, may be the
repository of funds received by state units as gifts, grants, and
contracts from non-state sources. [Education Code Section 89721(a)
and (c)]. The most common use of this mechanism is for grants and
contracts administration. A second, and significant, function of
the Foundation is to provide fiscal services for academic
departments and programs to manage gift dollars restricted for use
to specific departments or programs, fees for conferences, and
tickets for events. The SJSU Foundation, or any subsequent
auxiliary established to provide fiscal services, is the
appropriate place for non-state dollars to be held and invested.
Endowments are managed by the SJSU Foundation and are held in trust for the University. They are invested pursuant to the policies of the Foundation and oversight of endowment investment is the Finance and Investment Committee. This committee selects and monitors the performance of one or more investment firms that manage the funds in accordance with the applicable policy (see attachment #3).
Under special circumstances the Finance and Investment Committee of the Foundation may elect to accept an endowment which must be separately invested. Professional investment managers, under the supervision of the Finance and Investment Committee, invest such accounts. This is at the discretion of the Finance and Investment Committee and must be consistent with the mission of the University. Typically, this is the case for certain planned gifts, such as charitable remainder trusts, that cannot be co-mingled, or endowments that have special donor restrictions.
CENTERS AND INSTITUTES: are part of the University and are therefore governed by campus policy (see attachment #4). Even though centers and institutes are primarily self-supporting organizations, and most of their funding is from non-state sources, they are considered state units and thus fall under the same guidelines. Centers and institutes may not establish off-campus bank accounts.
ALUMNI ASSOCIATIONS/GROUPS: as separately incorporated 501(c) (3) non-profit organizations, may bank and invest in accordance with the policies and procedures set in place by their board of directors. The monies banked or invested by alumni groups must be under the control of the alumni board of directors or, in the case of endowments or restricted funds, invested in accordance with a Memorandum of Understanding between the alumni association and the donor or donor group of record. Alumni associations are not to be repositories for non-state funds that are not directly under the control of the alumni group's board of directors, or funds not directly related to that alumni group's programs.

Distribution of Income
Income from investments and from negative balances and internal loans will be distributed as follows:
All interest income shall be distributed monthly based on the average daily cash balance as reflected in the Financial Accounting System general ledger.

Last Amended: March 18, 1999
Assets of the Endowment Fund (hereinafter called the "Fund') of the San José State University Foundation (hereinafter called the 'Foundation') shall be Invested in accordance with this Investment Policy and In compliance with State and Federal laws and regulations.
The primary function of the Fund is to secure, with appropriate limitations on the risk of principal, protection against Inflation and to provide a dimension of growth of long-term asset values and returns. Specifically, the following objectives must be properly balanced:
- Income - to produce sufficient current and continuing income from investment returns to support scholarships, special projects and other ongoing academic activities as were intended by the donors.
- Growth - to provide for growth of the Fund through ownership of investment assets that have the probability of appreciating in value.
- Safety - to place sufficient limitations on risks associated with the implementation of the income and growth objectives and to protect the fund principal through the diversification of assets and the setting of specific quality standards.
Assets shall be invested with the care, skill, prudence and
diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent
person acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters
would use in the investment of a fund of like character and with
like aims.
A. Investment Portfolio Allocations - Endowment Pool
1. Fixed-Income Securities - At a minimum, 15% of total fund assets (based on market value) should be committed to a diversified portfolio of quality fixed-income securities. This category would include straight (non? convertible) bonds of U.S. corporations that are investment grade rated as assigned by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Baa" or better) or Standard & Poor's Corporation ("BBB" or better), U.S. Government Notes and Bonds including agencies of the U.S Government, and straight (non-convertible) preferred stock issues of the U.S. corporations that are investment grade.
Up to a maximum of 10% of fixed income securities may be invested in below grade issues and foreign bonds. Foreign bonds must be convertible to U.S. dollars (ADR's - American Depository Receipts).
- Equity and Equity-Related Securities - The principal category of fund assets will be invested in common stocks, with primary emphasis on high quality, well-established, competently managed companies which are expected to demonstrate future growth of asset values and earnings. A majority of these stocks should have earnings growth rates above the S&P500 average and Price/Earnings ratios below the S&P500 average. Criteria to consider prior to purchase shall include a company's competitive advantage, financial health, prospects for growth, caliber of management and its price.
It is expected that no greater than 25% of the total value of
equities will be invested in companies outside the United States,
income producing real estate, or in issues that are rated in the
lowest two grades ("C" and "D") by the Standard and Poor's
Corporation. Non-rated issues that meet the criteria stated in the
above paragraph may be purchased.
The equity and equity related securities portion of total assets shall normally constitute a minimum of 50% and a maximum of 75% of the portfolio.
- Cash - The cash balances of the Fund should be invested in savings accounts, or in such other money market instruments as U.S. Treasury bills, commercial bank certificates of deposit, or money market funds. Normally, the cash balances will not exceed 5% of the total assets.
B. Specially Invested Endowment Funds
Assets acquired with special restrictions on substitution or sale should be managed in strict accordance with the instructions of the donor.
C. Diversification
The maximum commitment of funds to the securities of any one issue, with the exception of U.S. Government securities should not exceed 5% of the total assets.
The maximum commitment of funds to the securities of companies in any one broadly defined industry (e.g., utilities, energy, chemicals, etc.) should not exceed 20% of total assets (based on market value).
D. Other Types of Investments
Investments other than marketable securities (e.g., commodities, private placements, venture capital, limited partnerships, short sales, margin purchases, unregistered or restricted stock, etc.) should not routinely be acquired because of the attendant problems of management, valuation and lack of liquidity. However, these other types of investments may be acquired upon approval of a specific proposal by the Foundation's Board of Directors.
E. Tactical Asset Allocation
While the normal asset mix of securities will be maintained at or near a ratio of two-thirds equities and one-third fixed income securities, the actual market exposure to stocks and bonds may vary from 1 % to 85% on a shorter term basis through strategies normally referred to as Tactical Asset Allocation. Such strategies hedge market exposure in either asset class, partially or fully, at those times when such asset class may be determined to be overvalued or otherwise less attractive.
However, such tactical shifts may be achieved on the basis of highly-disciplined, non-judgmental, systematic and quantitative analysis. A significant tactical shift requires prior approval of the Foundation's Board of Directors.
The Foundation will not invest knowingly in countries whose governing regimes are deemed by the Foundation Board of Directors to deny, through proclamations or constitutional prohibitions, participation by its nationals in the elective processes of the national government or holding of public office because of race or color.
A. Responsibilities of the Board of Directors - The Foundation
Board of Directors is responsible for adopting the Investment
Policy and any subsequent amendments to the Investment Policy, and
for receiving and reviewing investment reports.
B. Responsibilities of the Finance and Investment Committee - The Finance and Investment Committee is responsible for monitoring the investment policy as approved by the Board of Directors, reviewing the performance of outside investment advisors/managers, reviewing and recommending amendments to the Investment Policy, and reviewing investments on an annual basis.
C. Responsibilities of the Chief Operating Officer - The Chief Operating Officer is responsible for implementing and administering the adopted investment policy, submitting investment statements, performance analysis, and a report on the distribution of interest earnings and administrative fees to the Finance and Investment Committee on an annual basis. The administrative fees will be determined on the basis of 1.0% of the market value of the endowment at fiscal year end. The endowment pool's fiscal year runs from April 1 through March 31.
A. Fixed-Income Securities
Fixed-income investments will be evaluated based upon the Shearson Lehman Government/Corporate Bond Index and/or the Salomom Brothers High Grade Corporate Bond Index and the performance of other endowments as published annually by the National Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO).
B. Equity Securities
Common Stocks will be evaluated based upon the Standard and Poor's 500 Index and the performance of other endowments published annually by NACUBO. Additional indexes may be used as deemed appropriate and mutually agreed upon.
A. The Finance and Investment Committee will review annually reports on investment performance.
B. The Finance and Investment Committee will review annually the performance of the outside investment advisors/managers and present any comments to the Board of Directors.
C. Investment managers will report their performance and portfolio holdings in writing at least every calendar quarter.
A. Within 60 days of the close of the endowment's fiscal year, the annual distribution will be made based on 5% of the average market value on the last day of a trailing three year average of the endowment's market value.
B. The spending rate is established with the understanding that the rate plus fees will responsibility of the Finance and Investment Committee to annually review the spending policy against actual returns in order to make adjustments necessary for the preservation of purchasing power of the endowment.
C. Normally, the annual distribution will be funded through dividends and interest. As may be required, additional funding may be generated from net gains and capital appreciation; however, the endowment principal will never be invaded.
This Investment Policy, dated March 18, 1999 has been adopted by the Foundation's Board of Directors and supersedes all previous versions of the Investment Policy and Spending Policy.
The Investment Policy will be reviewed bi-annually to ensure its consistency with the objectives of income, growth, and safety, and changes in applicable laws and financial trends. Any proposed amendments to the Investment Policy will require approval by the Board of Directors.

RESOLVED, That the attached document (Policies and Procedures for Organized Research and Training Units at San Jose State University) be adopted as policy.
Research is recognized as a vital part of the academic activities of a modem university. Research can involve the lone scholar, the collaborative effort of a team, or a large but coordinated group. Because of the diverse ways in which research and training may be canted on, organized research and training units established within the university are recognized as efficient means to fulfill the research and training functions. To facilitate the process and coordinate the effort, the following basic Procedural and operational polices related to the organized research and training units have been developed.
Separate research and training units, with their own budgets and administrations, may be organized within the university when there is a clear Indication that they will aid the research and/or enhance the teaching and public service of participating members of the faculty and that their activities will continue on a reasonably permanent basis.
- The major purpose of organized research and training units is to facilitate communication, planning, and coordination of Investigative efforts among faculty members and students attracted to a particular area of knowledge.
- In carrying out their programs, organized research and training units may seek financial grants and provide funds, facilities, and advice for coordinated programs or for independent studies within their subject fields. Funds may be from contracts, grants, or gifts; but the value of the program to the campus--not the availability of funds--shall be the criterion for establishing or continuing an organized research and training unit.

An Institute is an agency established primarily for the coordination and promotion, on a continuing basis, of ascertained faculty research needs and interests organized around a broad subject area. Normally, the breadth of the subject will be reflected in research projects and programs which cut across department, school, college, or even campus boundaries. An institute, however, may also be proposed when needed by a single department to coordinate broad and varied research activities. Public service activities and programs stemming from research conducted within an institute or from the professional interests of participating faculty may also be undertaken.
- Center. A center is an agency, which may be established within an institute, college or department to further research Interests of the faculty in a designated major area.
