Users and visitors are expected to engage in behaviour consistent with these goals. Entering the Library signifies an agreement to do so.
Cooperation, courtesy, and respect are an integral part of the social contract of the university community. Library users are expected to show consideration for the right of others to use the University Library for its intended purposes.
This Code of Conduct serves to articulate these expectations by elaborating on what constitutes infringement on the rights of others. The examples included are not intended to be exhaustive. Rather they are to help users and staff members to more fully understand the principles embodied in the Code. The Code was developed in accordance with the Principles of Student Citizenship and the Student Discipline Policy, as published in the University of Lethbridge Calendar.

Second, Florida Coastal specifically prepares students for the Florida Bar Exam;
Although that is true I imagine being in the state you want to practice in will be of great assistance. I actually do not know this for sure, but I imagine you have to be in the state to take the state's bar.

Coming To Nevada Brothels In 2010: Male Prostitutes
If you've always skipped the brothels while in Nevada because they didn't offer the kind of companionship you're looking for, Merry Christmas! On Friday, the Nevada Board of Health changed its health code so that male sex workers can be tested regularly for STDs, which means starting next year men can sell sexual favors alongside the women working at the Shady Lady Ranch.
It turns out that until last week, the health code mandated regular cervical exams for sex workers, which pretty much excluded men from working legally. Now the code says cervical or urethral exams will be accepted.
According to the Las Vegas Sun, a lobbyist for the Nevada Brothel Owners Association is not happy with the change:
We've worked hard for years to make the traditional brothel business in this state socially acceptable and something we can be proud of that most Nevadans accept," [George] Flint added. "We have some concerns that this can be diluted by what Ms. Bobbi Davis [owner of the Shady Lady Ranch] wants to try."
Davis told the newspaper that she may start having men working at her ranch as soon as January, and in fact there's a job placement ad up on the Shady Lady Ranch website, if you're interested:
The Shady Lady Ranch is Looking for a few good men.
Between 21 and 40.
Have a Good Work Ethic.
Must be Service Oriented.
Have a Willingness to Please.
Have a Positive Attitude.
If you think you have what it takes, please send pictures(head shot and body shot, no nudes)and a short bio to Shady Lady Ranch. The Madam will contact those whom she feels will do the best.

When you watch as many movies as I do, you start to see patterns in every genre and things get very boring. I went into "Salt," the latest Angelina Jolie spy film, expecting a typical, safe movie that would be completely forgettable. I was pleasantly surprised to see an exciting action film that does not play it safe, but rather goes all out. "Salt" is not a great film or anything, but it is a film that takes risks and usually succeeds.

Story highlights
- More than 40% of couples disagree on how much to spend during the holidays
- Arguments about money are the top predictor for divorce
- Relationship experts say key is balance between autonomy and partnership
'Tis the season for overspending -- just ask the 141 million people who raided retail stores online and in-person the weekend after Thanksgiving.
But before you buy that Red Ryder BB gun or Jelly of the Month Club membership, remember that relationship experts agree it's best to set economic expectations with your partner unless you want to end up on the naughty list next year.
"Financial infidelity," when a spouse or partner is not forthcoming about monetary decisions, can be insidious.
"All of us have some area of our lives where our impulses overwhelm our judgment, and spending -- especially at holiday time -- is a common one," says Joseph Grenny, co-author of the New York Times best-seller "Crucial Conversations."
"Couples feel shame and resentment about discussing spending mistakes, which drives them to silence."
According to a recent report from McGraw-Hill Federal Credit Union, 48% of heterosexual married couples have disagreements over how much to spend during the holiday season. And research by the National Council on Family Relations finds that financial disagreements are the type of argument that most strongly predicts divorce.
Just as sexual infidelity can start with an innocent kiss under the mistletoe at the holiday party, financial infidelity can also begin humbly -- whether it's lying about how much a new pair of boots cost or secretly cashing a check.
According to relationship experts, as with any other marital issue, financial fights have a larger underlying factor: a lack of trust.
"Financial infidelity is very apt because, like an emotional infidelity or an actual sexual infidelity, it's first of all doing something that at some level the partner would not approve of," marriage counselor Susan Heitler says.
Heitler, the author of "The Power of Two: Secrets of a Strong and Loving Marriage," says couples should agree on a dollar amount that each person can spend independently on holiday purchases -- this number will fluctuate depending on the household's financial situation.
Heitler says a particularly popular form of money management these days is for couples to maintain both individual accounts and a joint account, especially since two-working-parent families are now the majority in the United States.
If partners maintain separate accounts, Heitler says, there should be a discussion about the point when an individual's decisions affect the group. The key is to find balance between autonomy and partnership; nobody wants to ask permission for every single cup of coffee.
"As adults, you don't want to be asking permission, you want to be advocating your financial needs and working them out as partners," says marriage and family therapist Jane Greer. Greer's latest book, "What About Me? Stop Selfishness From Ruining Your Relationship," focuses on that battle of "I want" versus "you want."
Greer says financial infidelity usually occurs when one partner feels their pleasures are being denied. The experts see an obvious solution: Open up a conversation before opening up your wallet. But given the spirit of the season, some see the holidays as an opportunity to splurge a little -- especially on their partner or children.
For the little ones, iPads are among the top 10 most popular gifts for both girls and boys, according to a Prosper Insights & Analytics survey for the National Retail Federation.
"Tablets and smartphones continue to steal more attention from today's kids, leaving mom and dad with no option but to look for ways to get their children their own items -- and leave theirs alone," says Prosper's Consumer Insights Director Pam Goodfellow in a release for the survey.
Even though they're sure to bring huge Christmas Day smiles, experts say big-ticket items like electronic goodies shouldn't trump the budget.
"Surprises are nice, but shocks aren't. Few life partners are willing to trade a moment of glee for a year of interest. You can leave room for pleasant surprises by setting budget ranges," Grenny says.
If you absolutely are sold on an item and willing to make an individual (key word!) sacrifice to get it, it is your prerogative, Greer says. But you're potentially setting yourself up for an argument, too. An easy way to defuse the situation is to say, "You may be concerned, but it was really important for me to get this for you."
However, setting -- and abiding by -- a price range for splurges can help partners feel equally empowered.
The problem lies when money is taken from necessary appropriations, like food and shelter, Greer says.
Here's a simplified list of ways to discuss holiday finances with your significant other by Joseph Grenny, the author of "Crucial Conversations":
Talk early. Find a time to talk early about how you'll deal with this year's holiday spending. Don't wait until your spouse springs for a Harley to talk about limits.
Solve the right problem. Many couples don't reach a resolution because they discuss the wrong problem. For example, if you discover your loved one has rented storage units and stuffed them with hidden binge gifts, the issue now is trust, not spending.
Communicate with love and respect. The most important key to solving problems with loved ones is to ensure they know that you respect and love them. When they know you support and respect them, their defenses drop and they begin to listen.
Be willing to be wrong. Approach the conversation with an open mind. For example, it could be that the source of your conflict is not a real budget limitation, but that you don't value holiday gift giving to the same degree as your partner.
Hold each other accountable. Once you reach an agreement, find a way to routinely keep track of spending.

Shoes That Are Comfortable and Stylish
Back-to-School Shoes Made For Walking
Back-to-School Shoes Made For Walking
Every year the week before school started, my mother bought me a new pair of shoes. Because I love shoes, I've kept up the tradition all these years after graduation. My life involves a lot of walking, so as lovely as they look, high heels are not a staple for me. I have rounded up some comfy yet cute shoes to help you keep on the move in your daily life. Save the heels for evening!
I have been a fan of Dansko for years. Easy to kick off when I needed to demonstrate a Pilates exercise and perfect for standing at the counter prepping dinner, clogs have been my mainstay. But Dansko has expanded its footwear line to include boots, both knee and ankle heights, and flats. I'm liking the looks of these Penelope boots ($220). The low heel is a wedge for even more foot support.

Teen upbeat about 3rd heart surgery
Staff writer
Karly Hess looks like any normal teenager, but the May graduate of Marion High School is counting the days until her open-heart surgery — the third she has had to endure in 18 years of living with a congenital birth defect known as tetralogy of Fallot.
"They will always have to do repairs to her heart," her mother, Sherry Hess, said.
Continual rescheduling of Karly's heart surgery, originally planned for June, is why hours at her family's business, Wagon Wheel Express, where Karly helps out, have been erratic in recent weeks.
Plans to fix some leaky valves and put in a stent have been pushed back twice. The survey now is scheduled for July 10 at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City.
"The first time it was pushed, a little boy had to have emergency surgery," Karly said. "This time they didn't say why it was pushed."
According to Sherry, Karly's condition is serious, but not serious enough to require immediate surgery.
Heart problems have kept her from playing sports and having caffeine.
"I had one surgery to put in stents and tubes and another to fix a hole in my heart," Karly said.
Her third surgery will take five hours, but Karly will not remember much from the operation. Her parents are a different story.
"I think they're more nervous than me," Karly said. "I was young last time, so I don't remember much. They can remember and will have to go through it again. It brings up bad memories."
If all goes well, Karly will recover from the surgery in five to six weeks. The surgery will not totally fix her heart, and she will have to have more surgeries in the future.
"The reason we've waited so long for this surgery," Sherry said, "is because they are now replacing valves with human tissue instead of mechanical implants. These last around 15 to 20 years opposed to the mechanical, that only lasted 5 to 10 years."
Karly will not have to take anti-rejection pills and will be able to go longer between surgeries.
She may not be nervous about the surgery, but she is ready to get it over.
"This has always been a problem, so this surgery wasn't a shock. We just didn't know when it was going to happen," Karly said.
After her surgery, Karly plans to attend Manhattan Technical College and major in business.

My seller/trader/buyer feedback:
Boo-ya! Can't wait for this one.
I will definitely be displaying this guy atop Panthor!!! Much like I display BA He-Man on Battle Cat Cannot wait!!!!
Thanks for the review Dan!
Great review as always, thanks for putting it together. I absolutely love the purple plastic the armor shell is cast in, it just sells the look so much. I think A LOT of people are going to be quite taken with the figure once they have him in hand.
Yeehaw!! Imma get me a BA Skeletor!
The metallic purple is awesome and I really think it comes across well in the video. It's very Illumina-ting. (Seriously Mattel, bring on Illumina).
OMG at Skeletor stealing He-Man's neck!
I think loose armour clips would be better: smaller possibility of tab breakage. I wrote this before BA Skeletor's armour fell off twice...then the third time. I stand corrected.
Woah...that Skeletor headswap is stunning looking!
LOL! I thought "Skeletor got his nails did!" as soon as you showed the nails side-by-side.
I see he still has the "old ankles."
1) Are his ankles tight?
2) Does he have the "ball-stick-ball" neckpeg or the worse, female and Vikor, "loop-stick-ball" neckpeg?
I think he's very well done. The only thing that would be really awesome to include for both BA He-Man and Skeletor AND the Royal Guards would be laser blast chest! They would show a blackened/scortched "hole" in the middle. I just thought of this! That would be so sweet, since a lot of the characters use lasers and guns.
I'm really excited for the axe and love the metallic purple.
Take part in Illumina Day! Let people know who she is and help get her in MOTUC.
You can join the Illumina Facebook page here!
Best figure of 2011!
I will order him many times
Best Skeletor in the line.
I think I'm going to use the TRU Skeletor head for BA Skeletor, and the replace the head on my regular Skeletor with the one that came with BA figure.
Nice. BA He-man and Skeletor where the only versions I had of these guys, so can't wait for him.
PS: Dan, the battle damage section of your vintage BA Skeletor looks really purple! As I recall on mine that section was the same color purple as the armor. Is that some variation, or just odd lighting?

The armor looks great, and I love the paint job on this figure as a whole. He will indeed look great on Panthor. I'm looking forward to this one more now after this review. Before I was kind of "meh" about it and he was more of an obligatory purchase for me.
He will also be the final Skeletor variant that I purchase. My collection keeps moving closer to being complete!
That new head looks SOOO much better on Skeletor ! And it's also closer to some of the vintage figures.
Now, that armor that doesn't clasp properly (and if the figure Pixel Dan got to review was not tight, there are high chances that MANY figures will actually have this fault) is a MAJOR let down !
I mean, come on : what was so complex to manufacture with this figure ? All the pieces already existed, down to the accessory (purple axe) ! The armor itself was just an update/resculpt of BA He-Man's !
No matter how easy or cool a figure looks, it always seems Mattel (and their vendor) NEEDS to leave a flaw somewhere ! QC is NOWHERE to be improved, apparently...
And that is SO sad, because otherwise, this BA Sekeletor rules !
Will we really have to use glue to keep that armor together, on a +$20 figure ? What a crying SHAME !
I wonder : what kind of neck peg does BA Skeletor have ? The usual neckpeg, or the not-so-good Vikor one ?

So, BA Skeletor does not come with a Power Sword? Not that it's a bigdeal or anything, but when you show pictures of an upcoming figure holding a Power Sword, there generally comes an expectation of, say, HAVING A POWER SWORD! Minor rant complete.
Having said that, still looking forward to this figure. Great review as usual, Dan.

Woooww .... great figure. I always wanted a Batte Armor Skeletor as a kid but sadly wasn´t offered in my country. Last year i was fighting myself to leave BA He-Man but now i can´t resist. Hope it´s just you with this loose armor, Dan. Thanks a lot for the reviews. The rack is nice but i´m not sure if i want one.
LOL, the armor falling off and Skeletor facing BA He-Man was awesome as is the entire reviews! Great job!

Great Review!
For my tastes the head looks too toyish, but nevermind , i like me some variety Evntually he will get the Havocstaff from Faceless one!
Still, ax to trash !
nice review, im still on the fence about this one. with hssss and the 3 reissues coming out that day, i may pass on this one. then again if i need to wait to get hssss i may get this one instead
The damage slashes should have been black. And the double-slash looks bad - there's barely any damage (silver) on it.
That head looks amazing though. Mattel needs to be acknowledged for listening to us and fixing the green paint application.
One thing that bothers me about BA He-Man and BA Skeletor is that, if they managed to get Clawful's armor to fit snugly to his torso, why does the Battle Armor look so baloon-ish? I kinda looks they're wearing mini-sumo suits.
Bring on Dragon Blaster and Terror Claws!
Great review, Pixel Dan.
Really looking forward to adding this guy to my collection. Aside from a Laser Light/NA Skeletor it's one of the only Skeletor variants I really want.
Great review as always Dan. Hopefully, BA Skeletor's issues are limited to that figure if it is a review sample and not necessarily the final production run. Otherwise, at least we know what's coming just in case.
Thanks for the review again Dan. Really hope the armor doesn't keep falling off like that on all the figures.

SYDNEY (Reuters) - It was dubbed the "blackest day" in Australian sport but one week after a government report said doping was widespread among professional athletes, frustration and anger had replaced soul-searching as the prevailing mood.
The incendiary report, the result of a year-long probe by Australia's top criminal intelligence unit, said it had found evidence of performance-enhancing substance abuse across several sports and increasingly dangerous links with criminal figures.
Anger that names were not named in the report and the scandal therefore tainted all sports in Australia was not long in finding expression, and by the week's end was dominating the media landscape.
"It's a big enough issue to be investigated, but as a playing group we were a little bit disappointed at how it was put out to the public," rugby union player Dave Dennis told Reuters this week in a typical contribution to the debate.
"I don't think it's a fair reflection of the Australian sporting landscape. I think we've always been known for being tough, hard-working athletes. For a country of 20 million people, we always compete well and honestly and fair," added the New South Wales Waratahs captain.
"I honestly feel sorry for a lot of other sports, because we all end up getting tarred with the same brush, which I think is tough."
Even Malcolm Speed, the former head of cricket's world governing body the International Cricket Council, said he thought the "hysteria" surrounding the release of the Australian Crime Commission (ACC) report could have been avoided.
Speed, now chairman of the representative body for major professional sports (COMPSS), said the elements of performance-enhancing and recreational drugs as well as crime and the spectre of match-fixing guaranteed sensational headlines.
"I think on reflection (our) view is there could have been things that were done better," he said after a meeting of COMPSS in Melbourne on Thursday.
"It's fair to say there's some irritation but there's also a realisation that we don't yet know the full story..."
Some have even suggested last Thursday's news conference, presided over by Home Affairs Minister Jason Clare and Sports Minister Kate Lundy, was an attempt by a government gearing up for an election to manipulate the news agenda.
The Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA), meanwhile, have confirmed the "scope and magnitude" of the probe was "unprecedented".
"ASADA anticipates interviewing about 150 players, support staff and administrators from two major sporting codes based on current information," it said in a statement on Thursday.
"The number of interviews may grow if the investigation uncovers new lines of inquiry. The investigation is both complex and wide-ranging and will take many months to complete."
The two sports being investigated are rugby league, the main winter sport on the East Coast, and Australian Rules, which dominates in the southern states.
One Australian Rules club, Essendon, has been identified and betting on their season-opening match in the AFL was suspended amid speculation they may struggle to field a team if multiple players were stood down or suspended for doping offences.
National Rugby league (NRL) clubs Manly, Cronulla, Newcastle, Penrith, North Queensland and Canberra have been briefed by ASADA this week, prompting a slew of comments from the teams that they had little or no case to answer.
Both sports are gearing up for their new seasons, which has offered players and coaches plenty of opportunity to vent their frustration at the pace of the investigation.
But while there is criticism of the process of the release of the report and the execution of the probe, many are still keen to get to the heart of the matter.
"Sport has been damaged this past week because a roller brush of suspicion was run over every athlete," influential columnist Patrick Smith wrote in the Australian.
"But if we use that to walk away from the issues identified by the ACC and ASADA then we as a sporting community have failed our future athletes comprehensively. And unforgivably."
