Work is Underway on the New Asheville Art Museum!
The Asheville Art Museum was founded in 1948, and we've had many wonderful years of growth. But it is time to update inside and out, to build on our past and move forward so that we may thrive far into the 21st century.
You will see big changes in the Museum building through 2018 as we undergo a major expansion and renovation project right in the heart of downtown Asheville. And when construction is complete and the new Museum opens, you will see fresh approaches, collections, exhibitions, educational programs, and outreach to invite our whole community in – and extend the Museum across our mountain region.
We are not "closed"! While our 2 S. Pack Square building is under construction, we have moved to a temporary pop-up location Asheville Art Museum On the Slope at 175 Biltmore Avenue, which houses a Museum Shop, an exhibition gallery and an education studio. We also have exhibitions and programs popping up throughout the WNC community!
A Need for Transformation
In the Museum's pre-construction space, only 3% of the Permanent Collection could be on exhibition at any given time.

Enter CAESAR, AGRIPPA, and MAECENAS, with his army, CAESAR reading a letter
CAESAR enters, reading a letter, with AGRIPPA, MAECENAS, and his army.
He calls me "boy" and chides as he had power
To beat me out of Egypt. My messenger
He hath whipped with rods, dares me to personal combat,
Caesar to Antony. Let the old ruffian know
I have many other ways to die, meantime
Laugh at his challenge.
He calls me "boy" and scolds me as if he had the power to whip me out of Egypt. He whipped my messenger with rods. He dares me to personal combat, Caesar against Antony. Let the old ruffian discover that I have many other ways to die, and in the meantime, we'll laugh at his challenge.
Caesar must think
When one so great begins to rage, he's hunted
Even to falling. Give him no breath, but now
Make boot of his distraction. Never anger
Made good guard for itself.
Caesar must realize that when a man as powerful as Antony begins to rage, he has been pursued to the point of collapse. Don't give him time to catch his breath. Take advantage of his unreasonable rage. Anger does not protect the angry well.
Let our best heads
Know that tomorrow the last of many battles
We mean to fight. Within our files there are,
Of those that served Mark Antony but late,
Enough to fetch him in. See it done
And feast the army. We have store to do 't,
And they have earned the waste. Poor Antony!
Tell our top commanders that I want tomorrow's battle to be the last we fight. Our army has recently acquired many of Mark Antony's former soldiers—enough to capture him. See that it is done, and prepare a feast for the soldiers. We have enough supplies for it, and they've earned it. Poor Antony!
They exit.

A man accused of nearly driving over a Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office deputy was shot by the deputy after a chase in Marrero on Thursday afternoon.
The wounded man, 31-year-old Quintin Sanders, was hit in the shoulder, and his life was not in danger, Sheriff Joseph Lopinto told reporters. No deputy involved in the encounter was injured either.
The sheriff said the incident began when detectives on proactive patrol tried to stop Sanders' car as it impeded the road in the neighborhood surrounding the corner of Garden and Acres roads about 3:30 p.m. Sanders at first refused to stop but then did before striking an unmarked Sheriff's Office cruiser that tried to block him in, knocking one of the cruiser's tires off its axle, Lopinto said.
Deputies had gotten out of their vehicle at that point to make an arrest, and one holding onto Sanders' door was briefly dragged. Sanders then allegedly accelerated toward a second detective, who fired six gunshots out of fear for his life, striking the driver once in the shoulder, Lopinto's office said.
Sanders was soon captured and taken to University Medical Center in New Orleans for treatment.
Lopinto said it was fortunate no one's life was taken during the incident but said he was disappointed a man struck a Sheriff's Office car and nearly hit a deputy.
Sanders faces two counts of attempted murder as well as a number of illegal drug and gun violations, Sheriff's Office spokesman Lt. Jason Rivarde said in a statement released late Thursday.

A woman living near the scene, Alvina Austin, described hearing the gunfire.
"I was sitting in the bourse with my mom, watching television, when we heard like a thud, and then we heard, like, six gun shots," Austin said.
Austin said she and a group of other neighbors on the street ran outside and immediately recognized the car and victim.
Thursday marked the second time in less than a month that a Sheriff's Office deputy has struck someone with gunfire. A man accused of beating and carjacking another man in Marrero, then leading deputies on a car chase was shot as he backed his stolen truck into one of the deputies on Jan. 4.
The carjacking suspect as well as an alleged accomplice were later arrested in the case.
There have also been a number of other instances involving Jefferson deputies firing at drivers suspected of crimes.
In October, a deputy shot a man who he said rammed him with a car during a Metairie drug sting.
In April, deputies working a drug sting approached a man who they believed was holding a weapon while sitting in a car. They then shot the driver as he backed up toward the deputies. The driver then crashed his car into a canal in Terrytown. Both he and a passenger survived and were booked on multiple counts.
The JPSO differs from other agencies in that it does not require deputies to face a second form of violent force aside from the vehicle itself — such as a gun — to justify their opening fire in confrontations involving cars.
Someone helped the man who evaded arrest for about a day last week after beating and carjacking someone in Marrero, then backing the stolen ca…

|Conserving Biodiversity (BOSTID, 1992)
The project that is the subject of this report was approved by the Governing Board of the National Research Council, whose members are drawn from the councils of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine. The members of the committee responsible for the report were chosen for their special competence and with regard for appropriate balance.
This report has been reviewed by a group other than the authors according to procedures approved by a Report Review Committee consisting of members of the National Academy of Sciences. the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine.
The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating society of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the general welfare. Upon the authority of the charter granted to it by the Congress in 1863, the Academy has a mandate that requires it to advise the federal government on scientific and technical matters. Dr. Frank Press is president of the National Academy of Sciences.
The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding engineers. It is autonomous in its administration and in the selection of its members, sharing with the National Academy of Sciences the responsibility for advising the federal government. The National Academy of Engineering also sponsors engineering programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research, and recognizes the superior achievements of engineers. Dr. Robert M. White is president of the National Academy of Engineering.
The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of Sciences to secure the services of eminent members of appropriate professions in the examination of policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. The Institute acts under the responsibility given to the National Academy of Sciences by its congressional charter to be an adviser to the federal government and, upon its own initiative, to identify issues of medical care, research, and education. Dr. Stuart Bondurant is acting president of the Institute of Medicine.
The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of Sciences in 1916 to associate the broad community of science and technology with the Academy's purposes of furthering knowledge and advising the federal government. Functioning in accordance with general policies determined by the Academy, the Council has become the principal operating agency of both the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in providing services to the government, the public, and the scientific and engineering communities. The Council is administered jointly by both Academies and the Institute of Medicine. Dr. Frank Press and Dr. Robert M. White are chairman and vice chairman. respectively, of the National Research Council.
The Board on Science and Technology for International Development (BOSTID) of the Office of International Affairs, National Research Council, addresses a range of issues arising from the ways in which science and technology in developing countries can stimulate and complement the complex processes of social and economic development. It oversees a broad program of bilateral workshops with scientific organizations in developing countries and conducts special studies.
This report has been prepared by an ad hoc advisory panel of the Board on Science and Technology for International Development. Staff support was funded by the Office of the Science Advisor, Agency for International Development, under Grant No. DAN-5538-G-SS- 1073-00.

Well, it took us a little longer to get going but we did. We arrived at the part around noon, which meant Marcus was ready to eat! No problem, today is your day I said, (since he was extremely patient on the ride there) you can have whatever you want...of course he didn't know that the birthday money he got from Aunty Alana and Uncle Tyler, and cousin Kira would be at the mercy of his every wish and demand.
When we arrived we found parking right away, because we were early enough; and then Lohena started crying. What's the matter? (Time for food, probably it had been a 2 hr. drive.) I sat in the car to feed him while Cameron loaded up the double stroller, and the oh-so-needed diaper changes in the trunk. We were pretty early and I'll admit...I was proud!
And then ...What is that?! ~You mean this yellow spot on my jeans....Lohena pooped...everywhere! Poop to his neck and across his shoulders this called for an emergency 2 man, tag-team change. After 15 minutes or so, we managed to clean him up (purell Cam's hands) and keep Marcus occupied. I decided not to worry about the poor onesie that took such a beating and tossed it instead of letting it ferment in the trunk by the sun. By the time we were done the parking lot was full and the park was full...but we were clean!
Needless to say, we decided against our better judgement and I am so glad we did! We had a BLAST! I'm not sure who had more fun!
on the tram to see the free roaming animals!
mountain goats
baby bison
huge elk running away
the view from the top of the huge 435-acre of free roaming land
a goat-I could have reached out my window (that had no screens) and touch if I so desired.
All in all it was a fantastic day.
Although Marcus refused to sleep either way and instead insisted on waking his sleeping brother by putting his shoe in his face.
And what better way to end the day but by Marcus walking straight into the concrete block in our parking garage and knocking him to his butt!??
...I guess he deserved it!

Nike is the leading company when it comes to athletic apparel and footwear. It has done so by implementing an aggressive marketing strategy and maintained its hold on its market share Positioning for Nike
Nike is benefiting from economies of sale so this places them in the "cash cow" category. Cash cow growth has slowed and the products still hold a decent amount of the market share. The best way for Nike to promote its product would be on television during sporting events. The young athletic demographic that it will reach is in the masses in regards to the positioning of the product. Nikes brand image, to this very day with its trademark Swoosh, can be considered one of the most recognizable brands in the entire world. Nike is constantly represented in the final four when back in 1999 42 out of 64 teams were associated with nike itself. Another way for Nike to maintain its market share would be to continue with their aggressive marketing campaigns, along with celebrity endorsements. But all this can be for nothing if it weren't for the quality of the product. Competitors to Nike include but aren't limited companies and brands such as Adidas, Reebok and new balance.
Market Share for Nike
Nike has a global market share of 30.4%. Despite a slight decline, Nike has one of the largest percentage of market share when it comes down footwear in the United States. The closes competitor in Adidas has a market share of around 15%. While Reebok holds 11%. Although Nikes market share is leading at the moment, it still is projected to show growth. By sponsoring events held around the globe nike is due to increase market share.
Marketing research for Nike
In order to maintain its position as the leader in athletic footwear and apparel, Nike implements a continual marketing research method. After conducted this research, the company found that the most effective thing they can do...

I'm beginning to think that this thing is not repairable.
Here are my results for the Troubleshooting Steps.
1. Done - no errors.
2. Already tested and reported earlier. running with good RAM.
3. Cabling secure.
4. I use Argus Monitor - all temps are normal.
5. Ran MalwareBytes - found Adware.IBryte - removed and rebooted.
6. I use MSE.
7. Ran all my tests using Clean Boot.
8. Thru this one I downloaded and ran System Update Readiness Tool (Hotfix for Windows KB947821). Updated successfully but Windows Update still doesn't work.
9. System Restore stopped working 1 month ago.
10. Was always set.
11. Using current AMD display driver 13.12.
12. Lots of errors listed in Event viewer.
13. SFC /SCANNOW won't run - Windows Resource Protection could not perform the required operation. Ran it in Safe Mode with Command Line.
14. Not tried.
15 Event viewer loaded with errors.
I am attaching several screen captures.
|My System Specs
|20 Mar 2014
You've been very thorough, found the main fix for that Updates failure SURT which hasn't helped. But we know from the System Restore and other failures that you have more massive corruption than that so what I would do now is cut my losses, back up files and follow these same steps to do a perfect Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7.
The tutorial compiles what has worked best since Win7 beta in tens of thousands of installs we've helped with here. So if you'll stick with the tools and methods given, we already know that you will get and keep a perfect install for as long as you do.
To give yourself the cleanest slate, I'd wipe the HD first with Diskpart Clean Command so that nothing (old boot code, corrupt partition table) can survive.
Feel free too ask back any questions after reading over Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7
|My System Specs
|20 Mar 2014
Thanks Greg.
I have no problem reformatting the 3rd drive because it has XP on it.
I will keep my current Win7 on the 2nd drive for now because my games are still working.
Once I have a working Win7 on the 3rd drive, I will re-install the games and transfer the User files over.
Then I will use EasyBCD and edit the Boot List to mirror my new setup.
Right now the Boot files are on my current Win7.
I will read the Clean Install Tutorial.
You have been very patient and helpful.
Thanks Greg.
|My System Specs
|20 Mar 2014
In that case please post back a screenshot of Disk Management - Post a Screen Capture Image.
You'll want to unplug all other HD's during the reinstall, deleting all partitions to create and format new using the Drive Options pictured in Steps 7/8 of Clean Install Windows 7.
I would also swap the Disk0 drive cable to the target HD so it becomes the first HD. This way the boot files cannot be derailed to another preceding drive during any future Repairs or Reinstalls.
|My System Specs
|20 Mar 2014
Here are the screen captures, including my current EasyBCD settings.
I understand about disconnecting the other drives and the Drive0 cable.
|My System Specs
|20 Mar 2014
Only the C System partition should be marked Active. Mark all others Inactive: Partition - Mark as Inactive - Windows 7 Forums.
In the future keep other HD's unplugged when you install an OS, set preferred OS as first HD to boot in BIOS setup, choose to boot any others using the one-time BIOS Boot Menu key.
If you don't like this arrangement, install EasyBCD to the default OS to add the others. This leaves each independently bootable which they are not now. The System partition is booting all 3 now.
XP partitions don't show the System flag which means they are likely not bootable from BIOS Boot Menu key, but you can try it to be sure. If you don't want to have to boot XP from the old Win7 as it is set to do now, run EasyBCD on the old Win7 to Edit OS Menu, delete XP listing. Then boot into the new Win7, install EasyBCD to add XP, and the old Win7 if you prefer to boot it that way instead of via BIOS Boot Menu key.
We can also give you commands to make XP boot itself from the BIOS Boot Menu key if you prefer it that way across the board.
|My System Specs
|19 Apr 2014
I have now successfully installed a new Win7 on my 3rd drive (the one on which the XP Fresh Install was located).
I disconnected the Main XP and Old Win7 drives to do it.
Then I reconnected them but I forgot to relocate the data cables.
I had to manually select the Old Win7 in the BIOS and reran EasyBCD on that drive to delete the XP and XP Fresh entries and then re-add the XP and new Win7. (I'm still booting from the Old Win7 for the time being).
That worked BUT it now wants to default boot from the XP disk.
The Boot sub-menu in the BIOS only shows the XP disk.
I can manually select any one of the 3 hard disks from the Boot Selection Menu but I can't get the BIOS to make the Old Win7 the default boot drive.
Eventually I will make the New Win7 as the default boot drive when I have all my XP stuff transferred/re-installed (after running EasyBCD on it and adding my XP drive for future reference).
I just can't figure out how to make the New Win7 (or Old Win7 for that matter) the default boot drive.
I have attached the Disk Management screen captures for both the Old Win7 and New Win7, as well as the EasyBCD settings for the Old Win7.
I hope you can straighten me out.

In reply to:
Seeking to contact HELEN ODUM HARRELL - still alive?
James Jordan 5/22/12
Hello Jim.
I believe Helen Odum Harrell is the same as "Lady H" that posted a message on 10/4/2012 the following message.
"The 1986 publication "ODUM/ODOM Research Notes: North Carolina and South Carolina, The Early Years" , still under copyright, is now available on CD.
Many online refer to the work as "ODOM Family Book". That reference is incorrect and misleading. The title correctly states what is included in the book.
The book is NOT a genealogy of any particular ODOM family, but rather it is an abstracted, organized, completely indexed compilation of legal records [county by county] found in many counties of the two states of North and South Carolina in the "early years" i. e., up to 1850.
Emphasis is given to census records; land records [ both grants and deeds]; and probates. Many marriages are included from North Carolina, but South Carolina did not enter marriages into their legal records until around 1900.
For purchase information, contact email@example.com or email@example.com"

Somehow I did get the game to save at around 30 minutes in, but if I try to save past that point it, always reverts back to the 30 minute save. Example, I saved at the grass club, so I go and fight a few battles in the rock club, and save, when I load the game again, I am back at the grass club I am using the version of Lameboy hosted here on the Temp (.9) What am I doing wrong? any help is welcome Thxns

School board in Canada pressures Christian academy to remove Bible verses from student handbook
A public school board has asked a Christian school in Alberta, Canada to remove Biblical passages from its student handbook because the trustees believe that the verses might contravene the province's human rights code.
On Thursday, Battle River School Division (BRSD) board met with officials of Cornerstone Christian Academy (CCA) in Kingman, Alberta to discuss the board's request to drop certain Bible verses from its student handbook, CBC reported.
The Christian school's handbook contained a reference to I Corinthians 6:9-11, which states that neither "fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate ... shall inherit the kingdom of God." The document also includes a verse from the fifth chapter of Galatians which refers to adultery, fornication, uncleanness and lasciviousness.
BRSD's Diane Hutchinson said trustees were concerned that the verses in the handbook might contravene Alberta's human rights legislation, but CCA board chair Deanna Margel said that the reference is a scriptural footnote in an updated Statement of Faith.
Margel said that the academy has agreed to drop the Bible verses from the handbook, but the school has raised concerns that the board now wants to limit what Bible passages can be taught to the students.
The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), which is representing the school, stated that CCA will not allow the school board to dictate which parts of the Bible are acceptable and which are not.
"The government's duty of neutrality, required by the Supreme Court of Canada, means that a school board cannot dictate whether verses in the Torah, Koran, New Testament or Guru Granth Sahib are acceptable," said JCCF Carpay in a press release, as reported by Life Site News.
According to CBC, the board had planned to announce that CCA had agreed to remove the passages from the handbook at Thursday's meeting. But instead, board chair Laurie Skori expressed disappointment about how CCA went public with the board's request.
"We are now at the centre of a firestorm as a result of information distributed without our knowledge, by the Cornerstone Christian School Society board and their partner in this process, the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms," Skori said.
"Hate mail is flowing, misinformation and fear-mongering are widespread. The Cornerstone society has compromised our reputation, risked our safety and broken our trust," she added.
Skori has maintained that the school board does not intend to restrict any of CCA's religious teachings. The board moved a motion to meet with CCA's officials to discuss whether the academy will adhere to the public school board's rules before June 27.

Vegas weddings sweep hearts and souls off their feet. They are considered the most electrifying moments in a person's life. It is therefore the desire of everyone to have a perfect wedding. It goes without saying that Las Vegas weddings happen to the most colorful and romantic a fact that has seen many couples reserve venues within the city.
One of the most important steps towards a successful wedding is planning. You need to look at the time for your wedding, what you want for the wedding and break it down into manageable short-term goals. The following checklist will ensure that you are on track throughout your vegas wedding planning activities:
Sixteen to Nine months prior
Within this time, you can start leafing through fashion, bridal, gardening and food magazines just to get the inspiration. You also need to determine your budget; how much you will spend and the expected contributions from yourselves, family and friends. On top of this, you also have to select your wedding party and start planning the guest list. There are planners who a familiar with Las Vegas weddings and arrangements, they can help you on this. Las Vegas wedding planners have interesting insights on different venues and vendors. You need to start venue and date reservations for your wedding ceremonies and receptions as well. Running around the last minute may not avail much. Within this time, you can also book your officiant, research on florists, photographers and caterers. If you plan to have an engagement party, this is the moment.
Eight to Six Months Before
This is the period within which you need to hire the videographer and photographer. You may not discuss the specifics but ensure that they have a good record of taking excellent shots. At this point, you can also book the entertainment, meet the caterers and purchase your wedding dress. For the dress in particular, you have to do at least three fittings so as to eliminate any doubt about its suitability. Las Vegas being a city, there will obviously be out of town guests. This is the moment to book hotel rooms for them in advance to avoid inconveniences. You can also sign up a wedding gifts registry at various retailers. In case you need to launch a website, this is the time to do it.
It is also not too early to meet the officiant, begin your honeymoon planning and purchase invitation cards to send out to your expected guests. Decide on your wedding palette and book your florist in advance.
Five to Four months to the wedding
This is the perfect time to hire your transportation. This should include the bride car, the trolleys and town cars to ferry the guests around. Start designing the wedding programme from start to finish. This is the right period to book rehearsal venues, order your wedding cake, schedule makeup artists and choose your music.
Three to two months before
This is about 12-8 weeks to the wedding. Within this time, you can finalize the menu and the flowers; put final touches on the readings, finalize the programme of the day and have it printed. You also need to use this period to purchase the rings and send your vendors the event schedule. Invitations to guests are also sent out at this point as you touch base with your deejay, photographer and the newspaper editorial team in case you want your wedding announcement to be published.
One month to the occasion
Confirm the attendance of guest who have not responded, pick your marriage license, visit the dress maker for your last fitting, finalize any payments, email the directions to the wedding venue to the drivers and transport coordinators, assign seating arrangements and delegate some tasks where necessary.
A week to the wedding
This is the final stretch. You need to pick your dress, send the bridal party the timeline of events, make final arrangements with the photographer and the moments you want him to capture, make a manicure and pedicure appointment and send the final guest list to the caterers for planning. Finally you have to also pack for your honeymoon.
As you may have realized, the activities in this checklist are many and can be overwhelming. However, you can contact us any time through phone or email and we shall walk with you throughout the planning. We have organized lots of Las Vegas Weddings and yours too can be part of our success.

A financial product is only an instrument in your road to achieve financial freedom. The key to your financial well-being is in the actual process of planning for your future financial goals.
Just like how a medical doctor would assess a patient's symptoms, pass a diagnosis and recommend a medical solution, as a financial doctor I help people see their overall financial health, recognise shortfalls and provide advice on appropriate financial solutions according to their unique situation.
Here is the 4-step DPIR planning process I take people through:
Discovery Meeting – The first meeting is for us to get to know one another. This includes understanding your life goals, financial needs and gathering of key information for the next step, the Planning Meeting.
Planning Meeting – A range of financial planning strategies will be worked out to address your concerns. Here is when you will understand how proposed recommendations will suit your requirements. Clarification and fine-tuning of strategies is also done here.
Implementation Meeting – This is when we will put in place all strategies and recommendations.
Review Meetings – These regular (at least once a year) meetings are to ensure everything is on track according to your plan and make changes where necessary.

Hiding a Tummy Tuck scar in the belly button alone is not realistic.
If there are extra tissues or stretch marks on the stomach, they can be removed. The normal way is by hiding an incision low on the stomach near the pubis.
Many have asked me to tighten their loose stomach skin but do not want the trade off of a scar to remove that skin. They want to have me remove the excess tissue just with a scar hidden inside the belly button. Nice idea, but this just does not work.
Stretched out belly button after other surgeon's attempts to tighten the stomach with a belly button centered "Mini Tummy Tuck." The tension on the small belly button distorts it to this wide mess. That Maryland surgeon tried first with a MiniTuck Abdominoplasty and a permanent suture to hold the belly button to a small size. This did not work. The belly button stretched despite the cerclage stitch. The doctor tried again with his version of a revision belly button umbilicoplasty. Again a failure. The picture above is the result of these two surgeries.
Forces on the belly button are just too great to permit tightening stomach skin. Tension will defeat even a permanent suture put just under the skin resulting in a very large distorted belly button.
You can learn more about this belly button deformity and Dr. Bermant's Revision Belly Button Umbilicoplasty.
Tightening tissues around a round structure took form with the short scar Donut Mastopexy for the female sagging breast. A donut circle of skin can be removed to lift and tighten the breast tissue. A larger circle is then closed to a smaller circle (remaining nipple areola). You can see actual pictures during male donut mastopexy surgery that demonstrate this principle.
Unfortunately, the center structure is then under a good deal of force to stretch. The more tissue removed and or the smaller the circle you try to gather tissue into, the greater the forces to make the circle big again. in a woman, the larger areola can be hidden by a bra. Here is another failure in a Large Areola Complication Deformity in a Male where the forces resulted in a bizarre structure much worse than the original loose skin. The Australian surgeon in that case used dissolvable sutures that went away. The forces do not, resulting in the massive diameter areola.
Another risk of pulling a large circle down to a small circle is the bunching of the tissues that can create a star burst wavy contour as the excess gathers. Some of this does flatten out over time. It depends on the degree of gathered tissues, healing, suture, and many other factors. The actual skin folds wrinkles in a star burst array look unnatural, man made, and more disfiguring than the original stretch marks. This is less of a problem when the force pulls out the smaller structure. Even in the close up picture on the top of this page, you can see the remnants of this star burst like effect in the pigmentation.

The materials in this Deep Blue collection form part of a larger record group held at the Bentley Historical Library. For a more complete index of content related to the M-Pathways Project, please consult the following online finding aids:
For additional information or assistance, please contact Reference and Access Services at the Bentley Historical Library.
Formed in 1996, the M-Pathways Project was charged with the design and implementation of new administrative information systems for the University of Michigan. Until this point, administrative business transactions were performed using the Michigan Terminal System (MTS). The University was a Beta partner for the development of the PeopleSoft Student Administrative System. The materials in this online repository include archived versions of the M-Pathways Project Website from 2000 and 2006, each of which include information on the system and guidelines for its use by university units.
Formed in 1996, the M-Pathways Project was charged with the design and implementation of new administrative information systems for the University of Michigan. Until this point, administrative business transactions were performed using the Michigan Terminal System (MTS), an innovative mainframe operating system put in place in the late 1960s.1 MTS served the university until the mid-1980s, when significant advances in technology made the operating system inefficient. Technology changes during this period of time included the developments of the personal desktop computer, a systems platform to support client/server architecture, development of a network infrastructure through the design of the Wide Area and Local Area Information Services, and lastly, the graphical user interface.
The origins of M-Pathways began in October 1993 when the Executive Computing Committee (ECC) charged the Strategic Data Planning (SDP) team with developing a comprehensive strategy for the integration of the university's administrative data systems. An objective of the strategy was to streamline business processes across organizational boundaries. The SDP team was led by John Gohsman of the Information Technology Division (ITD). In developing the strategic plan, the team actively solicited input through focus group interviews from over 350 administrative users in central administrative units and in schools and colleges. The entire process focused on defining institutional goals, formulating an institution-wide conceptual data and process model, integrating and analyzing processes and data resources, and creating and maintaining a strategic plan for process innovation, quality improvement, and systems development projects. The final SDP report, published in March 1995, resulted in identifying over fifty-five data and process projects as well as twelve projects focused on technical infrastructure improvements.
Goals of the SDP process included enhancing services to students from recruitment through alumni contact, providing accessible and shared data, supporting decentralized decision-making, and providing comprehensive data to support analysis of institutional needs. SDP projects were categorized into Data Infrastructure, Technology Infrastructure, Process Innovation, Quality Improvement, Systems Development, and Data Access projects. Underlying the recommendations resulting from the SDP process was the viewpoint that the university should integrate its databases to facilitate sharing data across organizational boundaries.
In January 1996, the university signed a $3.5 million contract with PeopleSoft, Inc. to provide the university with software to redesign the financial, human resources, and student information systems. PeopleSoft, established in 1987, was at this time a market leader for client/server technologies for enterprise-wide human resources information management systems. PeopleSoft was interested in developing software solutions for the higher education market. Contract negotiations with the university included the Student Administration sub-project of M-Pathways as a Beta Partner in the design of PeopleSoft's Student Administration Information System. Other Beta partners included Cornell University, James Madison University, Southern Methodist University, Houston Community College, Northern Arizona University, and California State University at Los Angeles.
It was estimated that the three administrative systems would be in place before the year 2000. The target year of 2000 was important since there was concern that systems dependent on date routines for processing would fail after December 1999. Following the decision to partner with PeopleSoft, team leaders worked to move from the conceptual plan to a working project by defining the scope and organizational structure for the project. It was in the months following the contract signing that the project formulated its identity by adopting a name and slogan, M-Pathways: Connecting people and information , drafting a project charter, and defining the project management and organizational structure. The management structure was designed to consist of two groups: the Process Management Lead Team (PMLT) and the Core Process Management Team (CPMT). The PMLT acted as the project steering committee. The PMLT was charged with overseeing, delegating, and monitoring all activities, including funding, to the CPMT. The PMLT charge included determining funding sources, facilitating the timely acquisition of resources, approving details of the PeopleSoft contract, facilitating organizational restructuring to support redefined business processes, reviewing policies related to data access and privacy, and providing project schedule guidance to the CPMT. The CPMT was responsible for directing the project implementation. This included developing the project structure, planning and administering the project budget, and planning and managing project communications, as well as training for project team and end users including documentation, consulting, and hot-line support. The next level in the structure consisted of the PeopleSoft Project Implementation Team (PS PIT). This team was responsible for process innovation and all activities related to the implementation of the hardware and software. The organizational structure was complete in September 1996 when Laura Patterson, University Registrar, was appointed Project Manager. At about the same time, a centralized working "space" was secured in the Administrative Services Building to manage project activities.
Project teams formed for each of the sub-projects drew much of their personnel from the university's administrative offices. Persons appointed to a Co-Development role had a 50% appointment to the project and 100% appointment time was expected of persons selected to work on the implementation teams. Persons with technical expertise were selected from the Information Technology Division (ITD). The project itself was divided into five "sub-projects": Financial, Human Resources, Physical Resources, Research Administration, and Student Administration. Each sub-project was designed to have both a functional and a technical project manager. It was the responsibility of the sub-managers within each sub-project to implement the software within their system area, assign resources, manage the budget for the sub-project, determine the need for consulting, and to direct the development of integrated end-user training across the project. Functional managers were drawn from the administrative business offices and technical leads were largely drawn from ITD. As the project geared up Anderson Consulting, Inc. supplied additional resources. Anderson Consulting provided the overall project methodology, technical support, and staff support in the area of "change management."
In addition to the functional and technical components of the organization, the project structure incorporated an integrated communications effort. Communication to administrative users was viewed as a top priority as the implementation of the systems involved rethinking how current business processes could be improved rather than just automating existing processes. To facilitate the transition from the current to the future way of doing business, Gretchen Weir was appointed communications coordinator for the project. Communication efforts included targeted electronic mail communications, faculty and staff "Interchange" sessions, a comprehensive project website, and regularly published articles in theUniversity Record . In addition, to further facilitate the change process, an unit liaison program was formed. The program included one representative from each unit that would be affected by the PeopleSoft systems. Unit Liaisons received regular communications from the Unit Liaison Coordinator, Jan Eckert, and were asked to attend Unit Liaison meetings, workshops, and focus groups for each of the sub-projects. Unit Liaisons were charged with communicating the information they gathered about changes in process, policy, and procedures back to the appropriate persons in their respective units. While the project had personnel in place with responsibility for communications to the end-users, the Change Management aspect of the project was represented both horizontally and vertically in the structure of the project organization. Change Management efforts included assistance in developing training guides, teaching courses, facilitating focus groups, communicating project developments including policy and procedural changes to end users, and end-user support services.
While the Human Resources System was originally earmarked to be the first system in operation, it was the Asset Management module of the Physical Resources System (PRS), headed by Mike Easter, that was first to roll out to the university in the fall of 1996. The Financial Resources System followed the roll-out of the PRS on July 1, 1998. While it was hoped that PeopleSoft would develop tools to support Research Administration, it was decided in August 1999 that the Research Administration sub-project would resume systems development within the university's Division of Research Development and Administration (DRDA).
As the first phase towards seamlessly servicing students from recruitment through admission and graduation, the Recruiting and Admissions module was the first module of the Student Administration system to roll out in 1998. All other student modules except for Degree Audit were put in operation in July 2000. Starting with the fall 2000 term, students registered for classes on-line through a specially designed interface called Wolverine Access. The "new" Wolverine Access was an extension of the Wolverine Access system developed in 1994. Initially, Wolverine Access functionality provided students on-line access to term grades, to the unofficial transcript, and to personal address information. The M-Pathways project further enhanced a student's view of student related data to include all components of the registration process, views of the current time schedule, account information, and a view of the university's course catalog data. At the time this history was written, the last PeopleSoft system to be implemented, Human Resources, was scheduled to be in operation on July 1, 2001.
In 1999, project management began efforts to address what was referred to as "Life After M-Pathways." It was realized that once the systems were in operation the project needed to move from project status to an organization designed to enhance, service, and maintain the systems. The first step towards moving the project from project to organization was the development of a Core Process Unit (CPU) for each of the sub-projects. The organizational structure of the CPU would mirror the project organization. Each CPU would have functional, technical, and communications support personnel. For the next phase of envisioning the type of organization needed to support the systems and changed processes across the university, an external consultant with expertise in organizational structure was utilized. The change in organizational structure would include personnel from the project, the Information Technology Systems, and the Data Administration Systems Center. To facilitate the change to the new organization, project management led numerous sessions with project personnel affected by the change both as a means to conceptualize and to facilitate the change. Comments on possible organizational models were solicited throughout the process. The end result was the formation of a wholly new organization, the Michigan Administrative Information Services (MAIS). MAIS officially began operation on July 1, 2000. The organization is comprised of five units: Financial/Physical Resources, Student Administration, Application Services, Technical Infrastructure Operations, and User Services. Laura Patterson was named Vice President for Administrative Systems effective September 22, 2000. MAIS later became part of Information and Technology Services (ITS) as part of the campus-wide IT rationalization project initiated in 2010.

In a cynical attempt to tap into the lucrative Fathers' Day market, this August the group who brought you 'CNNNN' and 'The Chaser Decides' is releasing 50 Golden Years Of The Chaser: 1955-2005 , rehashing all their shoddy articles from Chaser Annuals over the last five years.
Recalling the important stories ('World Trade Centre Janitor Declares: Best Sickie Ever' and 'Bali trial mix-up: Vanessa Amorosi executed'); reminiscing over their old gift guides (including such favourites as Barry Jones' Diary); and looking back on Latham's pancreas and Beazley's ticker, 50 Golden Years of The Chaser makes for nostalgic reading for Uni students and immature middle-aged men the country over.

A Letter from the President
Welcome to The Villages' world of children, families and communities! Our organization's staff members, board of directors, foster parents, adoptive families, donors and volunteers are passionate about CHAMPIONING FAMILIES FOR CHILDREN!
The Villages firmly believes that children grow, develop and flourish best in a family. We also acknowledge that being a parent and nurturing children throughout their lifelong journeys is one of the most challenging roles ANY of us parents ever undertake! With this in mind, The Villages has a broad array of child and family services that cherish children and strengthen families and communities.
The Villages is honored to be among the only 2 percent of child and family service organizations fully accredited by the national Council of Accreditation.
We're thrilled that 99 percent of the "first-time" parents served through the agency's Healthy Families program have NO incidence of child abuse or neglect!
We're proud that The Villages is blessed with a 90 percent annual retention rate of our heroic therapeutic foster families!
We're ecstatic that both our Children's Village Early Childhood Education Centers and The Villages boast of staff retention rates far exceeding national averages!
We're privileged to have the priceless opportunity of being involved in the lives of nearly 1,400 children every day!
Most of all, The Villages' team members are grateful for the continually growing number of corporate and community partners who are excited to help us create brighter futures for children and families! With the increasing complexities of finding adequate resources to meet the needs of those we serve, we are indebted to their support!
So, welcome to our world! We are hopeful that you will join The Villages in forever being a CHAMPION FOR CHILDREN!
Most sincerely,

The Thursday HIT (Honored In Time): Luchini (This Is It) - Camp Lo
When you talk about classic music, not just hip-hop, you talk about it being timeless. This song captures the sound of the 80's, with the sample from Adventures In The Land Of Music, while having that 90's Uptown New York talk.
I remember my big brother being obsessed with the movie Cooley High, ironically the name of Camp Lo's first single, (well they spelled it Coolie, but you get it)...and he loved this song as well. Every time this video came on, he would rap the words while I sat there with a feeling I couldn't begin to explain hearing this great music. From the moment I heard the beat, I was in a good mood and paid attention like it was a movie. The end of the video is legendary, and made me believe that they were REALLY the greatest rappers breathing off lyrics and visuals.
To this day, I still love this song and I think of my brother when I hear it. Truly timeless joint here, and I'm thankful it was made.

MacOS touchbar in Qt
I'm looking to integrate touch bar functionality with a macOS version of my Qt application. Is this supported in the macOS Qt framework, and if so is there an example of integrating this functionality?
SGaist Lifetime Qt Champion
AFAIK, there's currently no particular support for that however you can easily integrate Objective-C code with C++.
@SGaist That's more or less what I was thinking I might need to do. I havent been able to find a good tutorial, I figure I can write some compilation guards and wrap it with a class. How would I export a compiled objective-C lib from Xcode for conditional linking in qt?
SGaist Lifetime Qt Champion
There's no need to do it from Xcode as an external library, you can take a look at the QtMacExtras module to see how to write Objective-C++ code.

EB9 & HPDO: Your back pay
Email the Health Minister today to ask for an answer by Christmas.
Over the last few months Together members have met, rallied, stopped work and voted in over 140 Protected Action Ballots (PABs) to put pressure on Queensland Health and the government to get a better offer.
You have made a difference to what the next 3 years will look like for you at work. It was you who forced the government to give you a revised offer on 29 November but now QH and the Minister are dragging the chain again.
We sent a letter to QH (EB9 & HPDO) to accept that offer and to protect the 1 November operative date and we told them they need to make a revised offer on back pay and other issues.
Yesterday we had hoped to have some formal feedback to give to you. Despite assurances from QH, we still haven't had any official correspondence. Your questions are urgent, legitimate and you deserve to have your questions answered especially with Christmas just around the corner.
Don't let QH be the Grinch this Christmas. Email our Health Minister today and demand he takes these issues seriously.
In the revised offer it was great to see real movement on job security for temporary employees but the biggest question from members is about back pay to the expiry of your current agreement.
Now we need to again put pressure on the Minister to force an answer to our letter. That is why we are asking you to email the Minister to demand certainty by Christmas.
Email the Minister now and tell him to be more like Santa and deliver answers before Christmas.

Employee Benefits News
Thousands of Morrisons staff seeking payout over data leak
Thousands of staff working for Morrisons supermarket have taken legal action against their employer for not taking sufficient measures to protect their personal data, This is Money reports.
In what is said to be the UK´s largest ever data security claim, nearly 4,000 employees have submitted their details to the Queen´s Bench division of London´s High Court. The claims come following the revelation that disgruntled employee Andrew Skelton had released to the public the bank, salary and national insurance details of more than 100,000 of his colleagues.
Skelton was trialled at Bradford Crown Court in July this year, where it was stated that he had posted the personal information on data-sharing websites and also posted it to a number of newspapers. He was found guilty and sentenced to eight years in prison.
As part of the decision, the court also granted other Morrisons´ staff who had been affected by the leak four months to decide whether or not they wanted to add their names to the claim against Skelton.
Some of the staff included in the legal action no longer work for the supermarket chain, having left following the 2013 leak. But according to Nick McAleenan at JMW Solicitors, the lawyer representing the group, many of the staff involved were concerned about suffering 'a financial loss´ that could be connected to the data breach.
"We argue that Skelton leaked staff details at a time when he was actually employed by Morrisons to keep such material safe," said McAleenan. "It remains to be seen whether Morrisons will file a defence to the claims which we´ve now submitted or will simply admit liability."
Headed by chief executive David Potts, Morrisons commented: "We are contesting this case and we are not accepting liability for the actions of a rogue individual. We are not aware anybody suffered a financial loss from this breach."

I like a clean and tidy house and I like coming home to a clean house, not a whirlwind of disorganized stuff.
It wasn't always like that though, I mean I kept a clean house but there were days that would get away from us. We'd get busy with kids, school, work and Wham! the mess was there.
I'd come home and there'd be stuff covering the counters or the desk was messy and I didn't want to sit and pay bills. My thoughts felt as scattered as the contents in my home.
That's about the time we incorporated "Dump Baskets".
What is a Dump Basket?
A dump basket is a tool to help keep the house clean and organized. You place them in areas of the house where things tend to get dumped. Then one day (or days) you put the contents from the dump basket where they belong.
This saves you time and energy during the week to relax and not worry so much about picking up after everyone.
A dump basket can be of any size, rectangular, square, circular, and design to fit in with your decor.
Where do you put a Dump Basket?
Before you buy, take some time to figure out all the areas of the house where your baskets need to be placed.
For example:
In the living area to catch toys, magazines, clothing items, etc.
One in the kitchen for mail, newspaper, pens, etc.
One in the front hall for keys, wallets, phones, etc.
In the living and bedroom areas it makes more sense to have larger baskets, maybe a medium sized basket somewhere in the kitchen, and so on.
Give this idea a try and you might be surprised how efficiently dump baskets can work!

For someone who owns a shoe shop and adores gorgeous shoes, I was so happy this past weekend to not be wearing any shoes!
Walking along the beach on North Stradbroke Island, squishing the sand between my toes and letting the cool salty water wash over them, was idyllic.
I hadn't had a weekend off work in a very long time; a weekend away was long overdue.
So last Sunday, CC and I were on the 7am barge to Straddie and while the weather was grey and miserable (somewhat matching my mood at that moment), the next day was divine and my mood, spirits and outlook soared.
I forgot an important lesson, you see. To spend time in, with, watching and admiring nature is soul-satisfying and nurturing.
I sat and watched a kangaroo munching on grass with her joey peeking out of her pouch. I saw whales slapping their tails with carefree abandon. I got teary when I saw it for the first time. It was just so beautiful.
I also admired for ages a turtle bobbing up and down in crystal blue water and gasped when I saw dolphins hurling themselves through the air. And all day I listened to kookaburras laughing and each time I felt my heart grow a little more.
I stayed at the divine (and dog-friendly) Stradbroke Island B&B and was made to feel so at home. Hosts Diane and Denis were so gracious and kind. I can't wait to go back!
This is not to say that during these two days of bliss I ignored the retail world. Within an hour of arriving, I had already bought a fabulous caftan that I wore most of the time I was there. I was a little proud of that!
Early on Tuesday morning, on the first ferry back to the mainland, I started tapping away on my iPhone to create a post for Facebook. Then I realised what I was doing … I put the phone away and just sat and watched the sunrise as the ferry glided through the calm water back to Brisbane.
I've been feeling fabulous ever since. Lesson learned.
Until next time,
Carol & CCx
