Colleges covet out-of-state students
- Recruiting out-of-state students is a key strategy for some universities
- In-state students can face more competitive admission standards in some states
- Arizona officials consider extending temporary cap on out-of-state students
PHOENIX -- Pursuing out-of-state students has become a key strategy for Arizona's state universities. They hired more recruiters to target students in other states . They beefed up advertising in high-traffic areas such as Southern California airports. And their presidents even persuaded the university system's governing body to temporarily raise a cap that used to limit out-of-state, undergraduate students to 30 percent.
On Friday, the regents are expected to vote to extend the temporary cap of 40 percent through January 2015. Some regents favor making the change permanent.
Out-of-state students are prized for many reasons. They generally pay up to three times more in tuition, an important consideration at a time when state per-student funding has dropped. Students from other states and countries add a certain cachet to a university's national reputation because colleges want to be viewed as a destination for students to earn degrees. And professors like non-resident students because they bring social and cultural diversity to classroom discussions.
One such out-of-state student is Greg Rudolph who chose between a school in his home state of California and Arizona State University in Glendale. On two separate visits to ASU, he got the impression college officials really wanted him there. In California, he felt he would be just a number.
Rudolph is now a junior majoring in business at ASU.
One in four undergraduate students at Arizona's three universities is now a non-resident. The change is most dramatic at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, where 27 percent of undergraduates are non-residents, up from 22 percent in 2008. ASU and University of Arizona in Tucson have also seen increases. At ASU, 25 percent of undergraduates are non-residents, up from 22 percent. The University of Arizona has the highest percentage among the state universities, at 31 percent, which is up from 30 percent.
In some states, the trend toward accepting more non-resident students has been controversial. Faced with state budget cuts, some cash-strapped colleges limited enrollment while still accepting large numbers of non-residents. That made admissions for in-state students more competitive.
That isn't the case in Arizona. As long as Arizona students meet the admission requirements, they get in.
Across the country, universities have ramped up efforts to recruit out-of-state students, said Daniel Hurley, director of state relations and policy analysis for the American Association of State Colleges and Universities. The Washington, D.C.-based organization advocates for higher education.
Recruiting non-residents includes students from other states and other countries.
No organization tracks the percentage of out-of-state students at universities. Hurley said Arizona's percentages seem on the higher side. As long as the universities don't turn away in-state students, the increase is a smart economic move, he added.
"These students are bringing money with them from outside the state, spending it in the state with a good chance of adding to the talent pool after graduation," he said.
College officials once sought non-resident students mainly for cultural and ethnic diversity, he said. Now, because many states have reduced funding for higher education, college officials have a stronger financial motivation to attract out-of-state students who pay higher tuition rates. At ASU, tuition and fees for a non-resident undergraduate total $22,973 this year compared with $9,720 for an in-state resident.
Non-resident undergraduates brought in $504 million in tuition and fees to the Arizona university system in fiscal 2012.
Students choose to go out of state for many reasons.
For decades, Arizona's ultralow tuition made it cheaper for California students to pay out-of-state rates than in-state tuition in California.
Arizona's proximity to California attracts students who want a change of scenery. A student who comes to Arizona and likes the university, like Rudolph, spreads the word.
Rudolph said prospective students from California often think Phoenix is much more rural.
He lets them know "there are big concerts. There are buses. We have Walmart and Home Depot."
Arizona State University has four recruiters who live in California. Within the last two years, ASU has added recruiters in Chicago, Denver and Dallas. During that time, the University of Arizona has also increased the number of out-of-state recruiters from four to nine. Three are in California. The others are in Chicago, Denver, Dallas and on the East Coast. Arizona's mild winter climate is a powerful attraction for students in cold-weather states.
"That's how it starts, with the weather," said David Burge, executive director of ASU undergraduate admissions. "Then they get to know us a little better and visit campus and meet with faculty and staff, and they get legitimately excited."
For students who go out of state, there are some risks.
Retention rates are generally lower for students who go to school in another state. This means fewer return for their sophomore year. Some find tuition too expensive. Others get homesick. This presents a dilemma for the universities. The Arizona Board of Regents has directed the university presidents to increase the percentage of students overall who earn degrees. So university officials have an incentive to admit students they believe can finish.
That's one reason admission requirements can be slightly tougher, depending on the university.
In recruiting, University of Arizona employees emphasize finishing and show pictures of students at graduation.
"We're trying to just bring in really good-quality non-residents who are going to stay with us. The ultimate goal is graduation. We don't want you to come for a year. We want you to graduate and be an alum," said Kasey Urquidez, UA's dean of undergraduate admissions.
Hurley, of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, expects out-of-state recruiting to continue to be a focus. With colleges increasingly competing for out-of-state students, the numbers could level off at some point.
"Now there are so many regional recruiters in California," Urquidez said. "We've really had to step up our game."

Liberal Arts Salaries Are a Marathon, Not a Sprint
It's no secret that recent graduates with degrees in the liberal arts are out-earned by most of their classmates. But in the long run, they catch up to at least some of their peers.
Humanities and social sciences students, for example, make 84% as much as professional and pre-professional students like nurses and criminologists at ages 21-25—but they pull in about $2,000 more during their peak earning years from 56-60 ($66,185 compared with $64,149).
Those numbers come courtesy of a new report by the Association of American Colleges and Universities, a group that advocates for a broad-based undergraduate liberal-arts education. The AAC&U studied more than 3 million responses to the U.S. Census Bureau's 2010 and 2011 American Community Survey, and earnings are reported in 2011 dollars.

Front of house;
further discussion about computers outside vs. computers inside with no chairs vs. computers inside with chairs vs. computers in windows vs. computers attached to a giant amoeba who can transcend time and space.
Enthusiasm for having them outside but no-one with knowledge and skills available until mid november- maybe put flatscreens on wall in the interim?
decided that trying to work out colours and plans for the redecoration of the gold room by committee will probably end up with sub-optimum results. It is better if someone who is good at those things works outr what is to happen and then others pitch in to realise it.
jesse has prior experience and skills and has been accepted the task- hopefully a plan will be devised in the next few weeks.
everyone agrees that a good use of the wallspace therein would be to represent the myriad activities and events which occur as a part of the forest community- however, some disagreement about how best to do this- will more noticeboards solve the problem of scruffiness?- perhaps some good photos of events displayed well would work in combination with text?
-discussion to continue in FOH forum
mailing list in the testing stages so far.
people are pleased with the way the website and literature are looking.
I mentioned using the-social-networking-site-which-thou-shalt-not-name to promote TK. This is universally opposed. thus, i am shamed.
we need to arrange a christmas free shop meeting soon.
some of the emails are coming back undelivered- we could do with updating our contacts with other organisations/listings- thread in VA forum.
will stall the submissions due to time constraints.

Beyond Jem: ATO's a diverse family
ATO currently has eight artists on its roster (plus represents the soundtrack from the award-winning documentary Amandla!). Though Jem's grabbing much of the spotlight right now, her ATO sibs are no slackers.
David Gray
Type of music: Contemporary rock
ATO albums: White Ladder, 2000 RCA/ATO; Lost Songs 95-99, 2001 RCA/ATO
Buzz: His album White Ladder, re-released by ATO in 2000, went double platinum in the U.S., but his follow-up, 2003's A New Day at Midnight didn't climb quite so high, despite warm words from critics. No upcoming shows are announced on his website, davidgray.com
Patty Griffin
Type of music: Folk
ATO Albums: 1000 Kisses, 2002; A Kiss in Time, 2003
Buzz: She'll go on tour in August with Gillian Welch, Emmylou Harris, David Rawlings, and Buddy Miller. The name of the tour, chosen through a fan contest? The Sweet Harmony Traveling Revue.
Ben Kweller
Type of music: Garage rock
ATO Albums: Sha Sha, 2002; On My Way, 2004
Buzz: Rollingstone.com gives three out of five stars to the latest effort of 22-year-old Kweller. "Some of his lyrics can feel contrived, betraying a youth spent in recording studios," writes Laura Sinagra, "his best lines are his most artless, as when, in the strummy title track, he marvels of his wife: 'She makes hats with her hands/She is such an artist.'" Currently on nationwide tour with Death Cap for Cutie, Kweller recently appeared as musical guest on Late Night with Conan O'Brien.
Gov't Mule
Type of music: Hardworking southern rock band
ATO albums: The Deep End, Vol. 1, 2001; The Deep End, Vol. 2, 2002; The Deepest End, 2003
Buzz: Warren Haynes, who once played with the Allman Brothers, leads Mule as guitarist/vocalist. The band's three ATO albums pay tribute to bass player Allen Woody, who died in 2000, and feature rock greats from decades past and present. The band's currently on tour, and Haynes is set to play the Bonnaroo music festival in Tennessee in June along with Jem and DMB. Haynes' solo album, recorded at last year's Bonnaroo festival, comes out June 8.
North Mississippi Allstars
Type of music: Blues
ATO albums: Polaris, 2003
Buzz: Sons of star rock producer Jim Dickinson, the NMA go on international tour next month, playing shows in New Orleans, Norway, the Netherlands, and Germany.
My Morning Jacket
Type of music: Rock
ATO albums: It Still Moves, 2003
Buzz: With rave reviews from heavies like the Washington Post and the New York Times, My Morning Jacket is gearing up to strut their stuff for the masses. The band will play over 30 shows in May and June, hopping from L.A. to Toronto to Birmingham, Alabama. They'll also be at the Bonnaroo music festival.
Vusi Mahlasela
Type of music: African Folk
ATO albums: The Voice, 2003
Buzz: The South African musician played for the 1994 inauguration of South African president Nelson Mandela. His work is featured prominently on the soundtrack of Amandla!, the award-winning film about the end of apartheid, and on DMB's 2001 album Everyday.

As the More is More Mom®, I'm all about….more celebrating the movies! While I may by addicted to programs like Modern Family, American Idol and anything on HGTV or the Food Network, my all-time favorite show of the year is The Academy Awards. Even though Eddie Murphy is awesome, I couldn't be more excited with the triumphant return of the fantastically fabulous Billy Crystal as host, and he did not disappoint!
Billy always opens with a show stopping video montage; this year included a scene from The Artist, a kiss from George Clooney and a visit from the darling Justin Bieber. The best part, however, is Billy's signature Best Picture Nominee's Oscar tribute song; hilarious, clever, irreverent and poignant. We were off to a great start….
The stars were certainly shining tonight. Tom Hanks was dapper and adorable, J Lo and Cameron D were bootylicious and Sandra Bullock was lovely. But the first big award of the night was presented by the very handsome, yet super intense, Christian Bale (while he may be Batman, I lean more towards the delightful camp of a Batman by another name; George Clooney). While Melissa McCarthy was fantastic in Bridesmaids (not just because she is a Chicago girl) and Jessica Chastain was charming in The Help, the night belonged to Octavia Spencer, also from The Help. Her acceptance was emotional, beautiful and sincere.
With Amanda's life in gymnastics, we are HUGE Cirque Du Soleil fans. Their salute to going to the movies was introduced by my childhood favorites Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy, and it was incredible. To quote Billy Crystal, "I pulled a hamstring just watching that!"
The Fighter's Melissa Leo presented the award for Best Supporting Actor. I must admit I only know Christopher Plummer from The Sound of Music (Edelweiss), so I was rooting for one of my all-time favorite's Nick Nolte (love him in 48 Hours, North Dallas Forty and Down and Out in Beverly Hills), but Christopher Plummer won and, at 82, he was utterly charming. He and Betty White must be drinking the same Kool Aid!
On a side note, I just have to say that Angelina Jolie is a true, classic, Hollywood movie star. She is absolutely mesmerizing (Jennifer Aniston; eat your heart out!)! I'm just saying…..
Michael (Greed is Good) Douglas is AMAZING! He presented the Best Director award to Michel Hazanavicius of The Artist (which was such a wonderful throwback picture, making me think constantly of Nick Charles (my Nick's namesake) and his faithful companion, his darling dog Asta), though I was a little surprised that Martin Scorsese wasn't recognized for Hugo.
The lovely Natalie Portman presented the award for Best Actor. While the competition was tough in George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Gary Oldman and Demián Bichir, Jean DuJardin was the big winner for The Artist. I was half expecting him to give a wacky acceptance speech like Roberto Benigni, but he was far too classy.
Colin Firth was wonderful last year in The Kings Speech. Tonight he presented the award for Best Actress. I adore Meryl Streep, but was really surprised that the statue didn't go to Viola Davis, who was truly wonderful as Abilene in The Help.
Tom Cruise hasn't aged a day since Risky Business. With nine Best Picture nominees he had the honor of announcing the winner. It was no surprise; the night belonged to The Artist, a truly delightful and entertaining film.
In just over three hours, Billy Crystal was fantastic as the host on the 84th Academy Awards!
More Billy Crystal, more Hollywood, more movie favorites, more Academy Awards…..

You're used to seeing a grain silo on a farm, but here you see that same form translated into an unlikely place — a light fixture.
Naturally called Silo, the lamp is created by Zero, a Swedish lighting company. Sure, it's inspired by farm storage, but it's got all the clean lines and simplicity you'd expect from Scandinavian design. Not to mention an understated but playful cord. There's no word on pricing, which means they will probably cost you the same as their 20m forebears. [Zero via Dezeen]

How does this medication work? What will it do for me?
Cyclobenzaprine belongs to the family of medications known as muscle relaxants. It is used along with rest and physical therapy for the relief of muscle spasm associated with acute (sudden and short-term) painful conditions. Muscle relaxants work in the central nervous system (CNS) to modify signals from the brain that cause the muscles to tighten. When used in combination with rest and physical therapy, muscle relaxants help to relieve the pain and stiffness caused by muscle spasm.

Yesterday was Groundhog Day. As the rest of the country counts days until Spring, on Kauai we only experience a slight shift of 3-5 degrees with a little more rain, wetter and a bit cooler… nothing newsworthy.
But we've historically felt seasonal changes in the Kauai real estate market. When Punxsutawney Phil poked his head up on the beach, did he see buyers?
Kauai real estate's buying season used to begin mid-March and go through end of summer. In recent years, that hasn't been as evident due to the national financial crisis. Buying activity on Kauai has been following the economic "mood" of the country.
On the islands, we have our own real estate "Punxsutawney Phil"… Dr. Paul Brewbaker of TZ Economics, a leading economist for the State of Hawaii. Our yearly Groundhog Day for Kauai Real Estate is at the annual meeting of the Kauai Board of Realtors. Each year, Paul gives a humorous, detailed and insightful analysis of the current economic market for Kauai and the other islands.
This past August he spoke to the fact that "double dip recession" was basically a 'sound byte' and the signs of recovery he predicted in previous years were on their way. For more information and some "flash-backs" to last year's market;
- State Economists; Double-dip recession unlikely – article from July 2010
- Kauai Real Estate 2009 Year-End Statistics
- Kauai Real Estate Market Update – May 2010
As you can see from this recent Trulia.com analysis of Princeville real estate, our market is following Dr. Brewbaker's predictions – inventory is reducing and prices are nudging upwards:
When's the right time to buy? Of course, many personal factors come into play – it has to be the right time for you. But as activity increases, it's more competitive.
If it works for you financially, now seems to be the ideal time to negotiate. Once the 'sound bytes' determine it's a time to buy – then you've missed the opportunity to take advantage of the "down market" and low interest rates.
Buying when values are down -against the grain of activity – isn't for everyone. But hey, it worked for Warren Buffett, who has said;
- "Buy when others are selling, and sell when others are buying."
- "Only buy something that you'd be perfectly happy to hold if the market shut down for 10 years."
- "Americans are in a cycle of fear which leads to people not wanting to spend and not wanting to make investments, and that leads to more fear. We'll break out of it. It takes time."
- "I am a huge bull on this country. We will not have a double-dip recession at all. I see our businesses coming back almost across the board."
What's your opinion – are we coming into a buying season?

Monitor Windows data with PowerShell scripts
PowerShell is a scripting language that comes with many versions of Windows. It lets you handle Windows operations from a command-line interface. You can create scripts with the language and output the results of those scripts as objects to other scripts.
Splunk Enterprise supports the monitoring of events received through PowerShell scripts. You can use the PowerShell input to run a single PowerShell command or reference a PowerShell script. Splunk Enterprise then indexes the output of these commands or scripts as events.
If you have Splunk Cloud and want to monitor script output, use the universal forwarder to consume the output and forward it to your Splunk Cloud deployment.
What do you need to monitor data with PowerShell scripts?
|Required permissions
|Monitor data with PowerShell scripts
|Splunk Enterprise must run on Windows.
Splunk Enterprise must run as the Local System user to run all PowerShell scripts.
PowerShell v3.0 or later must be installed on the host.
Microsoft .NET version 4.5 or later must be installed on the host.
Configure inputs with configuration files
- Write a PowerShell command or script to capture the information you want.
- On the Splunk instance that is to run the script, open a PowerShell window.
- Copy
- Open the
inputs.confand edit it to enable a Windows PowerShell input.
- In the input, specify the command or the full path to your script in the
- (Optional) Specify a schedule on which the command or script should run with the
- Save
- Restart Splunk Enterprise to enable the input.
PowerShell input configuration values
Splunk uses the following stanzas in
inputs.conf to monitor data gathered by PowerShell.
|The PowerShell command or script file to execute.
When you specify a script file (.ps1), prepend the script name with a period and a space (". ").
|How often the command or script should execute.
You can specify either a number to indicate the interval, in seconds, or a valid
|Script runs once
|Whether or not to enable the input.
Set to 1 to disable and 0 to enable
|0 (enabled)
Following are some examples of how to configure the input:
Single command example: This example runs the
Get-Process cmdlet and pipes that output to the
Select-Object cmdlet using the host name that Splunk software has been installed on as an argument. It runs the command every 5 minutes.
[powershell://Processes-EX1] script = Get-Process | Select-Object Handles, NPM, PM, WS, VM, Id, ProcessName, @{n="SplunkHost";e={$Env:SPLUNK_SERVER_NAME}} schedule = */5 * * * * sourcetype = Windows:Process
Script example: This example runs the
getprocesses.ps1 script located in
%SPLUNK_HOME\etc\apps\My-App. It sets the source type for these events to
Windows:Process. The script runs every 20 minutes from 9:00am to 4:40pm on Mondays to Fridays.
[powershell://Processes-EX2] script = . "$SplunkHome\etc\apps\My-App\bin\getprocesses.ps1" schedule = */20 * 9-16 * 1-5 sourcetype = Windows:Process
For information on writing PowerShell scripts, see Write scripts for the PowerShell input.
Configure inputs with Splunk Web
- Select Settings > Data inputs from the system bar.
- Select PowerShell v3 modular input.
- Click New.
- Enter an input name in the Name field.
- Enter a command or path to a script in the Command or Script Path field.
- Enter an interval or cron schedule in the Cron Schedule field.
- Click the More Settings checkbox to select the source type, host, and default index.
- Click Next.
Write scripts for the PowerShell input
Splunk Enterprise provides one modular PowerShell input handler. The PowerShell handler supports Microsoft PowerShell version 3 and later.
The PowerShell modular input provides a single-instance, multi-threaded script host that provides a supporting schema, XML configuration through the
stdin stream, and XML streaming output.
You can define many PowerShell stanzas and run them simultaneously. You can schedule each stanza through the cron syntax. Because all scripts run within the same process, scripts share environment variables such as the current working directory.
Note: The input does not set a host variable in your PowerShell environment. When you write a script for the input, do not refer to
$host or use the
Write-Host or
Out-Host PowerShell cmdlets. Instead, use either the
Write-Output or
Write-Error cmdlets.
The input converts all output to key/value pairs based on public properties that are defined in the schema.
Splunk Enterprise also includes a PowerShell module called
LocalStorage, which exposes three cmdlets:
These cmdlets use the Splunk Enterprise checkpoint directory and let you maintain key/value pairs of data between scheduled runs of your script. Normally, data does not persist from one invocation to the next.
Specify paths
The input sets the
SplunkHome variable so you can easily address scripts in add-ons by writing paths like this:
[powershell://MSExchange_Health] script=. $SplunkHome/etc/apps/TA-Exchange-2010/powershell/health.ps1
$SplunkHome, there are several other read-only constant variables:
|The name configured for this machine to use in events
|The Splunk Enterprise REST API address.
|The session key (authentication token) needed for accessing the Splunk Enterprise REST API.
|The path for storing persistent state
|The name of the Splunk Enterprise instance that you want to communicate with.
|The name of the inputs.conf stanza that defined this script.
Handle output of PowerShell scripts
Splunk Enterprise takes each object that your script produces as an output and turns it into an event, wrapped in <event> and <data> tags. Splunk Enterprise converts the properties of each object into key/value pairs. However, the value can only be a quoted string, converted by calling the
.ToString() method. Thus, the output must be simple, and you should flatten any complex nested objects in your script before the script outputs them.
There are a few special property names which have significance for Splunk Enterprise modular inputs and let you override the defaults in the inputs.conf stanza. They are:
|Overrides the index that the output will be stored in.
|Overrides the "source" for the ouput.
|Overrides the "host" name for the output.
|Overrides the "sourcetype" for the output.
|Overrides the "time". If you do not specify this, all objects that your script generates in a single execution will get roughly the same timestamp. This is because the script holds the objects for output until it has finished executing, and then marks the objects with the output time. You must specify this value in epoch or POSIX time, which is a positive integer that represents the seconds that have elapsed since 0:00 UTC on Thursday, January 1, 1970.
These properties never appear as objects in the key/value output.
If you want to set these properties and override the defaults, use a calculated expression with the
Select-Object cmdlet or use the
Add-Member cmdlet to add a
NoteProperty property.
Caveats for handling PowerShell script output
The input currently requires that any PowerShell scripts it executes produce output objects that do not have any script properties. Pipe output through the
Select-Object cmdlet to ensure proper formatting.
The input currently does not process the output of scripts until your pipeline and runspace are finished. This means the input does not process
ScriptProperty values. It also means that all of your output essentially has the same timestamp, unless you override it using the
SplunkTime variable.
When writing your scripts, avoid long-running scripts. Do not write scripts that wait for things to happen unless the scripts exit every time there is output.

Hi Mbauer599,
Thanks for the feedback. We have fixed the problem with the cron scripts, sorry about that. Minutes are indeed first.
Note that the example cron schedule is incorrect for both examples. Cron format starts with Minute Hour so where the example says every 5 minutes it actually executes a schedule of every 5th hour.
schedule = 0 */5 * * * <-- 5th hour
Other than this twist, good article.
Hi Martinho,
Thanks for your input. To address your concerns:
1. The dot-source examples shown in this document are examples that were provided by the engineers who built the input. While your suggestion to use the & call operator is technically valid, I would need to confer with them before I could make such a change.
2. This input is the direct descendant of the Splunk Add-on for Microsoft Powershell, and does actually use the Quartz implementation of cron, rather than the unix cron standard. I will update the page to include this information up front in an effort to reduce any confusion.
I think you should be using the & call operator instead of the . dot source operator when specifying a script file. See https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh847732.aspx for the difference details but in essence any script variables will be added to the current scope when using the dot source operator. This can lead to subtle bugs as the variables will persist between subsequent invocations of the script.
This page references the Quartz.net implementation of cron triggers (which includes seconds and can have 6 segments).
This is not valid and I suspect comes from copying the documentation of an earlier implementation. I suggest you reference the http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Alert/Definescheduledalerts#Using_cron_expressions documentation or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron#CRON_expression instead.
Hi Machiel,
I fixed the typo in the script example.
The input should accept a positive integer for the "schedule" attribute. If it doesn't, it's a bug, and should be reported. Please open a support case so that we can get a case number assigned to it and have some engineering resources look at it. Thanks!
"You can specify a number to indicate the interval in seconds" did not work for me.
Also, please be aware that
should be
script= . "$SplunkHome/etc/apps/TA-Exchange-2010/powershell/health.ps1"
I updated the page to give a better explanation on what 'epoch time' is.
Note: SplunkTime must be in epoch time

Tech Update
Greenerd Introduces Web-Based Press Remote Access
"With pressport," says Greenerd president Tim Dining, "customers can manage press operations remotely just as if they were inhouse. They will be immediately alerted to any problems so that they can quickly manage the situation without delay. This translates into real cost and time savings, minimizing downtime and service calls while improving productivity."
Tom Lavoie, Greenerd applications manager, continues: "For example, if a plant manager is a from the shop and his operators are running a 400-part job, pressport allows the manager to access the job's status and see whether a motor is idle, off or running, from any computer or handheld device that has Internet access. And, should an interruption occur, he will instantly receive a text message on his mobile phone or PDA so he can respond immediately."
The pressport web human machine interface allows users to view animated screens or tabular data through a standard web-browser interface and view maintenance reports, production data and other critical sensor data.
Data logging, reporting and trending features also can be accessed from an internal database, and users can program custom reports based on the information they need.
Greenerd makes pressport technology available on new presses or as a retrofit to an existing Greenerd press.

Here comes a brief overview about the individual disciplines world champion titles, and how the overall kiteboarding world title is determined.
It is important to understand this section, as it affects your position in the world, and you should be aware of this system to choose the events for your personal schedule.
Let us first talk about the overall kiteboarding world title: We are looking for the most versatile rider, not necessarily the winner of each individual discipline. It might be possible, that the overall title is awarded to a rider who has won not a single discipline. How does this work ?
First of all, we are looking on the points that each rider has collected in every discipline over the year. The disciplines counting are: Wave Riding, the better result from Freestyle (KPWT judging) and Wakestyle (PKRA judging), the better result from Course Racing and Downwind Racing, and Speed. How you collect points for each individual discipline is explained further down.
So, what does this mean to you ? If you are focussing on the overall title you should try to collect points in all four categories, even if Wave Riding and Speed have a smaller importance to your overall position than the Freestyle disciplines.
How are the individual disciplines ranked ? Thats's easy. Every rider sums up his individual points. And those points per discipline are collected as follows:
1. Each event is scored depending on the factor of the event. See About -> Rules -> Point System for more details. In general one can say, the more pricemoney, the more points. An exception are only the one-off championships e.g. in racing and speed. But still, you will collect most of your points on the events from the professional tour operators.
2. A maximum of seven events is counted for the discipline ranking, with a discard system if there are fewer than nine events. Have a look at About -> Rules -> Point System for details as well. As there are much more freestlye events than e.g. speed events, you can collect more points in freestyle than in speed. Logical, when there are more events with more pricemoney, this discipline is considered more important than a discipline with only a small number of events.
So, what does this mean in real life ? The most important discipline is Freestyle/Wakestyle. You can collect by far the biggest number of points here. Then comes Course Racing, then Waves, then Speed. This considers the real world importance of the various disciplines, BUT: do not forget to collect points in the remaining "small" disciplines as well, as those few points could give you the victory and the overall kiteboarding world champion title. In other terms: you should score in all four disciplines to have a shot at the top.

It wasn't pretty, but the San Juan Broncos defeated the Monticello Buckaroos anyway in football Friday night in Blanding for the ninth straight time, this time 14-0.
Neither team was able to muster much offensive excitement during the game, but the Broncos took advantage of two consecutive Buckaroo turnovers in the second half to score twice and get the win.
The opposing defenses dominated and the offenses sputtered, with penalties, missed passes and not much progress toward the end zone.
The Broncos' opening drive lasted four plays, three runs for two yards, and a holding penalty before a punt gave the ball to Monticello. The Buckaroos surprised with their first play, a 37-yard pass from junior quarterback McKade Maloy to Austin Wilcox, but four plays and a holding penalty later, the Bucks also gave up the ball on downs at the Bronco 17.
That pretty much capsulizes the first half and most of the second half... penalties and punts. Both defenses caused turnovers.Bronco QB Terrrance Tate was intercepted by Buckaroo Dillon Maughan, Bronco Max Morley picked-off an Austin Maloy-pass and Buckaroo Jake Giles recovered a Bronco fumble-but no one could capitalize on the turnovers.
The Bucks got into the Bronco red zone twice in the first half, but could not capitalize. The first drive died because of penalities, while the second was stopped in the end zone by a good defensive play on fourth and goal by Bronco Preston Palmer.
The halftime score was 0-0.
The second half was really more of the same. Then, when most figured the game would go into overtime tied at 0-0, suddenly the tide turned.
A Monticello fumble was recovered by the Broncos at the 35-yard line. After sophomore running back Bronz Eldredge packed the pigskin for nine yards, the Bucks were flagged with an unsportsmanlike call, putting the ball on the Buckaroo 11 yard line.
Tate then hit Eldredge in the endzone with an 11-yard touchdown pass to finally light up the lonely scoreboard. And the Broncos led grew to 7-0 when a Norwegian exchange student, Casper Pederson, booted the extra point.
On the Buckaroo's ensuing possession, QB Austin Maloy was hit as he was throwing, causing a fumble which the Broncos recovered at the Buckaroo 22 yard line.
Tate and Eldredge teamed up one more time, this time from 21 yards, for the Bronco's second touchdown in three minutes, and the Broncos were up 14-0.
The Bucks tried gamely to get back into the game, blocking a Bronco punt and another Maughan interception, but the offense just couldn't respond. Final score was 14-0.
Unofficially, Monticello rushed the ball 34 times for 62 yards and completed eight of 15 passes for 97 yards and five first downs.
The Broncos had 74 yards on 27 carries, four completions on 12 passes for 32 yards and two touchdowns, and five first downs.
Next up for the 1-1 Broncos is a home game with 1-1 South Sevier this Friday.
For the Buckaroos, they play in the home opener against the 3A Richfield Wildcats, who are 2-0.
Cross Country Preview
The Buckaroo boys and girls cross-country season outlook is pretty high, according to head coach Jeff Hunt.
Hunt files this preseason report: "The girls have won eight straight region titles and are coming off a fourth place finish at state.
"They lost more than half the team from last season, but newcomers Zoe Chadwick and Kendall Harris add some talent to a team led by Junior veterans Bailey Goodwine, who spent most of last season injured, Cambria Welch and Ashley Hoggard.
"The Lady Bucks have the talent to challenge Panguitch, Wayne and St. Joseph's for the 1A title.
"The boys are looking to capture their third straight state title and have the enough returning talent to make a serious run. Five of the seven state runners from last year return, led by Senior Easton Nielson.
"They include Tyler Bird, Jens Brewer, Kyler LaRose and Sheldon Black. Others vying for a spot on the varsity squad are Everett Hatch, Tanner Eardley and Eli Johnson.
"With the Norris twins, Panguitch is the most serious threat to knock the boys off. Panguitch showed at the SUU Invite they can push the boys, but the Buckaroos should have the edge based on experience.
"Other teams that should be in the mix are Milford, Bryce Valley and St. Joseph's.
"The Buckaroo Harriers traveled to Cedar City to compete in the SUU High School Invitational and came away with their best ever finish.
"The boys, led by Easton Nielson, came away with a fifth place finish in the 15 team field. Only 3A teams finished ahead of the boys, who place higher than several XC powerhouse teams such as Richfield, Parawon and San Juan.
"On Easton's (24th) heels are Tyler Bird (26th) and Jens Brewer (31st) as the boys only had 90 seconds between 1-7.
"For the girls, a shorthanded team with many new runners was paced by Bailey Goodwine. Since it was the first race ever for most of the team, the girls ran in the JV race so they could run together.
"Bailey won the JV run while newcomers Zoe Chadwick and Kendall Harris finished third and ninth respectively, as the girls finished third behind Cedar and Pine View."

White Nosed Coatimundi is a member of the raccoon family. Its body is one and a half to two feet long and its tail is two feet long. It holds its long, thin, ringed tail upright when it is walking. It has small ears, long, sharp claws, and a long, pointed snout that tilts up a little at the tip. It has a black mask and white around its eyes, nose and on the inside of its ears. Its fur is brown with a mix of red and yellow on top and a lighter brown on its undersides. Its lower legs and the tops of its feet are blackish-brown. Males and females look alike but males are much larger.
White Nosed Coatimundi originated around the turn of the century and was used at that time to describe the males, who live alone- mundi" means "solitary". Over time this term has come to be used interchangeably with "coati" to describe both sexes.
White Nosed Coatimundi have also been found in the US state of Florida, where they are an introduced species. It is unknown precisely when introduction occurred; an early specimen in the Florida Museum of Natural History, labeled an "escaped captive", dates to 1928.
White Nosed Coatimundi mates between January and March. Males will join female family bands. The male will warn off competing males by baring his teeth, rearing up on his hind legs and turning up the end of his snout.

Marsha T. McWhorter, November 11th , 2019.
Decluttering the bathroom will give it a freshly updated look. If you're space challenged, look at how you can improve on existing storage. Adding pull-out drawers (that sort items easier) into a cabinet is an easy weekend upgrade. Standard sizes of pull-out drawers are available at most home improvement stores. You're now on your final bathroom decorating stages. This part's like adding a giant bow to a present. Donate or throw away your old, mismatched towels and add new soft goods to your bathroom. An accent color or pattern would be a modern design touch.
Once you've upgraded the lighting quality of your bathroom, paint is the next quick and easy upgrade to the bathroom. Pick light colors for large surfaces like the walls and save the darker, richer tones for accents. Check how your color choices look in your upgraded lighting before you paint, since color temperature can change a color's shade. Paint your walls with the perfect shade you selected. It's no longer necessary to choose gloss in a bathroom to combat moisture, ask the paint shop to add an additive to matte paint to keep it from mildewing. Don't just paint the walls — purchase an eggshell or semi-gloss paint and paint the cabinets, too

'Big Bang Theory' Boss Previews New Pairings in Season 7
CBS' The Big Bang Theory will expand its core circle of friendships to further explore new pairings among the show's central group when season seven of TV's No. 1 comedy returns in the fall.
While Leonard is at sea on an expedition for Stephen Hawking, the friends and neighbors will explore more of their friendship. Penny and Sheldon will be thrown together out of necessity, while Amy and Bernadette hit the road together for the first time without their blond "bestie."
Meanwhile, Raj will use his newfound ability to talk to women without the assistance of alcohol in a renewed quest for love that (shockingly!) won't be as easy as he thinks.
The Hollywood Reporter caught up with showrunner Steve Molaro for an early look at the upcoming seventh season of the series -- and to find out whether Emmy nominee Bob Newhart (as well as Raj's love interest, Kate Micucci) will be back.
PHOTOS: Behind the Scenes: 'The Big Bang Theory'
THR: How will we see Raj (Kunal Nayyar) navigate his new skill of talking to women?
Molaro: He can speak to women without the aid of alcohol, but that does not mean he's any good at it. So, lest anybody think he's about to be a player, I don't think that's the case. We hit it in the first episode back, and he's out looking to try to meet a new woman.
THR: Could Kate Micucci return?
Molaro: We're still figuring everything out, but we love Kate and we would certainly love to see her again at some point when the time is right.
THR: With Raj on a newfound hunt for love, could his parents pay him a visit in Pasadena?
Molaro: We've talked about having his parents come to the states and visit, but we just need to find the right story to make that happen, and we haven't quite cracked that yet.
THR: Will we see Leonard (Johnny Galecki) at sea?
Molaro: The first scene back is a really big, fun scene. It's been three or four months since he's been gone, and we will see him on a boat. He will come back fairly early on, and we will see him out there. The expedition is to try to prove one of Stephen Hawking's theories, but he will not be rolling around on the boat.
THR: How will Leonard and Penny (Kaley Cuoco) handle the distance between them?
Molaro: You're going to be surprised with how Leonard's handling the distance with Penny, and we will go right into the face of that on the first episode back. He's having a really good time on that boat. Johnny is going to get a little wet and there will be some Skype/satellite calls.
PHOTOS: 'The Big Bang Theory's' Nerdiest Guest Stars
THR: How will Penny and Sheldon (Jim Parsons) fare during Leonard's absence?
Molaro: You will see that Penny and Sheldon are both missing Leonard and are spending some quality time together and getting closer than ever -- which I love.
THR: There's a large contingent of fans interested in seeing romance between Penny and Sheldon. Is that something we'll see?
Molaro: Probably not. But I love that people root for that. I love the Penny-Sheldon relationship as much as I love anything on this show. I think her love for him is very real, as is Kaley and Jim's relationship in real life. I think that translates. She is like the big sister who is taking care of him -- or sort of a mother figure. I go back and watch the pilot where she meets them and it took a while, but she really loves these guys; it's very tangible and my favorite thing. As annoying as he is, she cares so much and would never go there. She's always there for him; they may have fights, but she's there and you can feel it. The love is real between all seven characters.
THR: Might Sheldon begin crashing Penny, Amy (Mayim Bialik) and Bernadette's (Melissa Rauch) ladies' nights?
Molaro: I don't know how interested he is in that, but he's got a special spot in his heart for Penny because he knows he can count on her and she's on his side.
THR: Last season we learned that Penny is a decent actress. What's in store for her professionally this season?
Molaro: She's actually a pretty good actress, but that doesn't mean she'll necessarily have a great career. I think it's pretty realistic. She's got a commercial, little things here and there, she's taking her acting classes, but realistically the odds of her being a superstar are not great. So there are no plans for her to breakout in some giant career at the moment.
STORY: 'Big Bang Theory': 15 Things You Didn't Know
THR: Could we see her get something more substantial than a play?
Molaro: Nothing is ruled out, and it's nice that she can actually act when she needs to.
THR: How will Amy handle Sheldon's reliance on Penny in Leonard's absence?
Molaro: We don't hit that too hard. I don't think Amy sees Penny as a threat. She loves Penny.
THR: Where do Amy and Sheldon go from the Dungeons & Dragons game?
Molaro: They continue to move along very slowly. We listen to the characters and let them go where they want to go, but she's going to keep pulling him in some direction. And he will keep resisting it, and we'll see how far she can get him to go that we're all comfortable with.
THR: What do Bernadette and Howard (Simon Helberg) have coming? Will we see them go back to the subject of children? Maybe shopping for a home?
Molaro: I don't think there are any children in the offing at the moment. It's possible [they could shop for a home]. We've talked about that, but then his mom is always a factor and will continue to be. It's all to be determined. We're just digging in; we're only figuring out episode three right now.
THR: Any dream guest stars for this season?
Molaro: Nothing is set yet, but Zachary Quinto has said publicly he would very much like to do the show, and we would very much like to have him. So if that could work out, we would be very happy.
STORY: Comic-Con: 'Big Bang Theory' Spills Writers' Secrets, Offers Season 7 Clues
THR: What about William Shatner, especially now that he's working with Kaley?
Molaro: Kaley is his daughter, technically. (Laughs.) It would be fun, and we just need to find a new, fun take on how to use him in a way that would be special. And if we could do that, absolutely yes.
THR: Bob Newhart has said he'd like to return -- will he be back?
Molaro: I think so. We just have to find the right way to use him, the right story. But that was a treat for all of us -- and he got the Emmy nomination for it.
THR: You said at Comic-Con that you'll be exploring some new pairings this season. How will we see that with Amy and Bernadette?
Molaro: That's going to happen in the first episode back, and it's the first time they hang out without Penny, ever. They're going to a science conference in Sacramento and hang out in the hotel bar. Things happen. (Laughs.)
The Big Bang Theory returns Thursday, Sept. 26, at 8 p.m. with back-to-back episodes on CBS. Hit the comments with your hopes for season seven.

By Harvey Rice
Houston Chronicle staff writer
GALVESTON – With the world focused on a BP rig explosion in the spring of 2010 that caused the worst oil spill in U.S. history, a massive release of pollutants from the company's Texas City refinery went largely unnoticed.
The April 20, 2010, explosion of the Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico came two weeks after the BP refinery began releasing pollutants into the air through a 300-foot flare that is designed to burn them away. BP reported at least 538,000 pounds of gases, including 17,371 pounds of cancer-causing benzene, spewed from the flare over 40 days.
It was the third-largest release of benzene in Texas from 2009-11, according to a report released last week by the advocacy group Environmental Integrity Project.
"Even if you accept on the surface what BP claims what the release was, it was a major release," said Matthew Tejada, executive director of the environmental group Air Alliance Houston.
More than two years later, internal BP emails and statements in depositions for a $500 billion lawsuit indicate BP ignored repeated requests for money to fix a compressor that failed, causing the chemical release.
The emails also show that BP officials knew as early as 2007 that the flare may have been capable of consuming significantly less than the 98 percent (standard) of the pollutants the company says it burned. This suggests the extent of the release may have been far greater than estimated.
The public became aware of the release only after it ended May 16, 2010. Regulations required BP to give notice to state officials within 24 hours of the start of the gas release and within two weeks of its conclusion, but notice to the public was not required.
"We usually get warned – a phone call from Texas City or the sirens go off," said Mary Brooks, 57, diagnosed with chemically induced asthma after the 2010 release. "We never heard a siren. There were no phone calls."
Brooks is one of 48,380 Texas City and La Marque residents suing BP for illnesses they blame on the release.
Pollutant level elevated
BP declined a request for an interview. In a written statement, the company said the flare operated at 98 percent efficiency during the release and that neither monitors in the community nor those at the plant fence line showed elevated levels of pollutants in April and May 2010.
Tejada said the monitors have repeatedly failed to register major gas releases from the plant.
A compressor broke down at BP's ultracracker unit at the Texas City refinery on April 6, 2010. That forced the refinery to vent gases, most of them through a flare.
The company could have shut down operations to keep the gases from venting, but management decided to keep operating at a lower capacity while the compressor was repaired, according to the depositions. Based on testimony by several BP officials, the company earned between $6.7 million and $13 million by continuing to operate.
Although BP said excess gases were flared for 40 days ending on May 16, 2010, a company email dated May 22 states that the compressor resumed operating that day. BP declined to explain the email, but it suggests the gases may have flared for six days longer than reported.
Once the release became public knowledge, attorneys began offering their services and meeting with residents about potential health effects. Before the statute of limitations closed the door to lawsuits last month, 48,380 residents living near the BP refinery had joined in suits, said Tony Buzbee, the liaison attorney for Galveston County district court.
Buzbee, who has about 25,800 clients, is asking for more than $500 billion in damages. BP in December settled for $50 million a lawsuit by the Texas attorney general alleging poor operation and maintenance led to the release. The company admitted no liability.
Tiny drop, big increase
The depositions in the ongoing cases show that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality tested the flare in 2007. The EPA report showed that the flare operated at 50 to 90 percent efficiency. The Texas report said the flare operated at 38 to 79 percent efficiency.
Every 1 percent drop in efficiency means an increase of as much as 100 percent in chemicals released, said Sparsh Khandeshi, an attorney with the Environmental Integrity Project At 90 percent efficiency, the flare could have spewed between 400 and 800 percent more gases into the air than reported.
The EPA reported that the actual emissions from the ultracracker flare during the 2007 test were six times greater than the amount reported by BP.
Emails among company officials in 2009 indicate concern about the flare.
BP Environmental Specialist Dave Fashimpaur wrote in an April 8, 2009, email that the flare tip was built from an old design, contributing to its poor efficiency.
BP claimed a test in April/May 2010 showed normal operations.
Poor performance
The EPA and Texas reports, however, show that the ultracracker flare and a temporary flare were tested simultaneously. Both reports said the temporary flare was highly efficient but the ultracracker flare performed poorly.
In depositions, officials said no steps were taken to improve the efficiency of the ultracracker flare between 2007 and April 2010.
Officials in charge of the compressor that failed, causing the release, were repeatedly rebuffed when they sought money for repairs and improvements, documents show.
As BP struggled to repair the compressor, a BP official sent an email on April 16, 2010: "I wish the project people who fought us and justified overruling us were still here today to feel our pain. But instead they have moved on to more wonderful and greater things. I sure hope they get good bonuses for (expletive) us over."
Another BP employee replied, "It just reminds me of a saying: 'The bitterness of poor quality will be remembered long after the joy of a low price is forgotten.'?"

A woman accused of stalking Alec Baldwin has been found guilty and sentenced to 210 days in jail.
French Canadian actress Genevieve Sabourin was convicted on five counts of harassment and stalking on Thursday, after bombarding the 55-year-old actor with emails and voicemails and making unwelcome visits to his New York homes after enjoying a meal with him in 2010.
During the trial, Baldwin denied Sabourin's claims that they had been engaged in a sexual relationship and described her pestering as "nightmarish" as he broke down on the stand.
The hearings at Manhattan Criminal Court took a turn on Wednesday after Judge Robert Mandelbaum ordered Sabourin to spend 30 days behind bars for contempt of court following her loud outbursts throughout Tuesday's proceedings, during which she called Baldwin a liar as he recounted the terror he suffered as a result of the actress' relentless harassment.
She was brought back into court on Thursday for the verdict and sobbed as her conviction and punishment was read out by Judge Mandelbaum.
He also ordered Sabourin stay away from Baldwin and his wife Hilaria after her release.
The actor was not in court for Thursday's ruling.

A Harry Potter–Themed Wedding at a Private Residence in Mount Joy, Pennsylvania
For their spring wedding, Stephanie Horner and David Hopple let their imaginations run wild, immersing their guests in the wizarding world of Harry Potter. "Early on in our relationship, David and I joked that we should have a themed wedding," Stephanie says. "One of the themes mentioned was Harry Potter. When David asked me to marry him, I decided to turn our joke into reality!" To represent the four houses—Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin—the pair opted for a punchy color palette of red, yellow, blue and green. From there, Stephanie put her artistic skills to work to bring the couple's enchanting vision to life. For the photo booth backdrop, she Photoshopped the faces of the wedding party into classic art pieces to mimic the portraits at Hogwarts and hand-painted the bridesmaids' yellow pumps with the Hufflepuff insignia. Chocolate frogs served as the favors, the programs were made to look like The Daily Prophet and guests signed the newlyweds' guest book with quill pens. "Last but not least, I painted a whole 4-foot-by-64-inch painting of Hogwarts castle as the cake backdrop," Stephanie says. "It was a lot of work, but I started early and got a lot of help from my mom and bridesmaids." For the photo booth, guests could pose with a fun-filled selection of Harry Potter–themed props, including brooms, wands, Hogwarts robes and a sorting hat. "Do your own thing," Stephanie advises. "People will always have opinions on what should and shouldn't be at a wedding, but if you and your spouse are happy, do the 'norms' really matter?"

Two Chinese warships docked at a Burmese port Sunday, highlighting China's expanding naval presence near Asia's other rising giant, India.
Chinese news agency Xinhua described the friendly port call as a first-ever in Burma – also known as Myanmar – by Chinese warships. It comes amid heightened tensions between Beijing and New Delhi, including India's reported suspension of military exchanges with China.
Though the two Asian heavyweights share a disputed border in the Himalayas, the Indian Ocean could become a more serious flashpoint for their overlapping ambitions. Beijing is developing ports around India to help secure Chinese maritime routes while India's security establishment is debating how best to assume leadership in the Indian Ocean.
"With this particular port of call I don't think there is anything that needs to be done. Just watch very closely," says P.K. Ghosh, a senior fellow at the Observer Research Foundation in New Delhi and a retired Navy officer. But China, he says, is sending a signal. "The underlying message is a strategic message: 'Look, we are in the area and we can operate in the region.' "
China's 'string of pearls'
In recent years, China has expanded port facilities in countries that border India, including Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Burma. Indian strategists refer to the projects as a "string of pearls" encircling India in its strategic back yard.
Dr. Ghosh points out that the ports are commercial structures, not designed to be naval bases. But, he adds, "if a push comes to a shove, they can definitely use it for a base."
The Indian Ocean will only grow in importance for both India and China as their interconnectivity with the global economy grows. The Indian Ocean is the Silk Road of the 21st century, moving Gulf oil and African minerals to the world's two most populous nations.
The securing of the sea lanes – once the province of Great Britain, then the US – could evolve cooperatively, rather than competitively, to include India and China. Indeed, both countries have participated in a global effort to protect ships from pirates off Somalia.
But for India to realize its ambition to be able to project its Navy over a distance to secure economic access abroad, it will need access first to regional ports – some of which are now under Chinese expansion.
"We saw that happen in Sri Lanka. When Delhi slept over Colombo's invitation to build a new port at Hambantota, China stepped in," said C. Raja Mohan, the strategic affairs editor of the Indian Express, at a talk given before a packed public audience in New Delhi last month.
India and China: a complicated relationship
Compounding the issue is the wariness in New Delhi about China. While the two Asian giants have found common cause over climate change and expansion of bilateral trade, diplomatic tit-for-tats dating back to the 1962 Chinese invasion continue to hamper better relations.
The two countries failed to resolve their border disputes in the Himalayas earlier this decade, prompting India to beef up border infrastructure in the face of Chinese incursions.
Recently, Beijing denied a visa to an Indian general who planned to join a military delegation to China – reportedly because he oversaw Army operations in Indian-controlled Kashmir. An Indian newspaper reported Saturday that India had responded by suspending military exchanges. When asked by the Associated Press, China said this was news to them while India refused to comment.
Meanwhile, the Indian Express reported Saturday on Page 1 that the state-run People's Daily posted in a discussion forum an article titled "How likely is China's launch of a limited war against India?"
While the Indian press plays up Chinese "provocations," officials in Delhi tread lightly, taking care to avoid direct clashes with Beijing.
India's next steps
But among Indian naval experts, China's moves have spurred along a debate over how India should assert itself in the Indian Ocean.
During his talk in New Delhi last month, Dr. Mohan argued for a more assertive approach that includes basing agreements and naval assistance to "weaker states of the Indian Ocean littoral."
"No great power has built a blue-water navy capable of projecting force without physical access and political arrangements for 'forward presence,' " said Mohan. "This would mean creation of arrangements for friendly ports and turnaround facilities in other nations that will increase the range, flexibility, and sustainability of Indian naval operations."
Mohan says this makes Indian strategists uncomfortable. For decades they have rejected anyone building "foreign bases" in the Indian Ocean – something India itself must now do, Mohan argues.
Ghosh argues against becoming the big brother of the region. In 2008, he helped organize the Indian Ocean Naval Symposium, a forum for talking and cooperation on common issues between the naval chiefs of 28 Indian Ocean nations.
"Initially there was a lot of apprehension in the minds of a lot of countries as to what was the hidden agenda," says Ghosh.
India, he says, went to great lengths to explain this wasn't an effort to become big brother but to create a forum with the Indian Navy – the largest in the region – as the "unintrusive fulcrum."
For now, that's the right posture for India, argues Ghosh.
"I firmly believe that if you've got to carry a big stick, please talk softly," he says. "I think there are a lot of negativities associated with being visualized as a hegemon."

NH Capital Punishment Bill Could Expand or Eradicate Death Penalty
In just a few days, New Hampshire legislators could make their state's death penalty law the most expansive in the country if they vote in favor of a bill that allows capital punishment to be eligible for all murders without any distinction. Anti-death penalty organizations and church groups are calling for lawmakers to vote against the proposed bill, arguing that capital punishment is too expensive and puts innocent lives at risk.
State Rep. Phil Greazzo (R-Manchester) wrote the bill, HB 162, to make all "purposeful" murders eligible for the death penalty. The Republican legislator claims current state law is unfair and that the death penalty should be more expansive and apply to all cases involving murder.
In New Hampshire, the only crimes that are eligible for the death penalty include the murder of on-duty law enforcement officers, murder-for-hire cases, murder during imprisonment, murder during a rape, kidnapping or burglary, and murders involving drug crimes.
"If I hire someone to commit a murder for me, that would bring the death penalty," Greazzo said, according to the Concord Monitor. "If I did it myself, there's no death penalty. So the law is a little bit askew in fairness."
"I think in the interest of equality and justice, anybody who commits a murder should forfeit their life – they don't deserve to live."
However, several Christian groups in New Hampshire do not share Greazzo's sentiment.
The American Friends Service Committee, a nonprofit Quaker organization, and the New Hampshire Council of Churches, are two Christian groups urging New Hampshire lawmakers to vote against the bill.
AFSC claims on its website that the new bill is "too expansive and too expensive," pointing out that New Hampshire has only one inmate on death row, that this person's case has cost the state over $5 million in appeals, which is "more than it would cost to jail him for 100 years," AFSC says.
The New Hampshire Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty (NHCADP) is joining the Christian groups in their criticism of the bill.
"The bill that [Greazzo] is proposing would be extremely expensive to the state of New Hampshire when we're trying to cut the budget," Raymond Bilodeau, community organizer for NHCADP, told The Christian Post Monday.
"It's also unfair," he added, pointing to the possibility that expanding the death penalty means increasing the possibility that an innocent person wrongly convicted of murder gets killed.
"There are a lot of possibilities for prosecutors to make mistakes, and you see those mistakes across the country," Bilodeau said. "The number of people who have been exonerated since 2000 is over 125."
For death penalty opponents, however, there could be a huge benefit in Greazzo's bill. Expecting the initial expansion to fail, either by vote or governor veto, the lawmaker also added an amendment that would abolish the death penalty in New Hampshire altogether.
"If it's going to be too expensive to prosecute and execute every murderer, it shouldn't apply to anyone," Greazzo said, according to The Associated Press. "Everyone should be treated equally under the law, even murderers."
For this reason, Bilodeau is urging New Hampshire residents to call their legislators and urge them to vote "no" on the bill and "yes" on the amendment.
Although Greazzo's bill, if passed, would give New Hampshire the most expansive death penalty law in the country, state prosecutors rarely request the death penalty.
In 2008, businessman John Brooks was the first New Hampshire resident in 50 years to face a death sentence when he stood trial for hiring hit men to murder a man suspected of stealing two motorcycles and a trailer, according to the AP.
The jury convicted Brooks, but opted to give him a life sentence, rather than the death penalty.
That same year, Michael "Stix" Addison was convicted of shooting a police officer and sentenced to death by the jury – the first time a jury had done so in the state since 1939.
Addison remains New Hampshire's only inmate currently on death row.

When I was introduced during my degree to special functions, I made friends with a number of nice functions - Laguerre, Legendre, Hermite, Bessel, and whatnot - but I made only a passing acquaintance with the hypergeometric and confluent hypergeometric functions, mostly limited to looking them up in Arfken and recoiling in horror at the dryness of the material and the lack of physical content in the calculations.
I know, of course, that this lack of physical content is also accompanied by an astounding generality. After a while I did get the core of the idea, which I believe is "explore all special functions whose series coefficients are rational functions of $n$", and I do find it appealing, but I've not had the energy nor the motivation to follow that up and see what's interesting about the thing.
However, it appears that the long-delayed moment is here and some pretty hairy integrals (think $\int_0^\infty x^k e^{-\alpha x^2}J_m(\beta x)dx$) have pushed some ugly "${}_1 F_1$" symbols onto my page. So my question is, then: what's a good introduction to hypergeometric and confluent hypergeometric functions? I'd like one where I can get an intuitive understanding of what to expect from them in different circumstances, what nice properties they have, and generally why it really is worth it to deal with them instead of their more specific cases like Laguerre, Legendre, Hermite, Bessel, etc.
