In our eyes, an unapologetic picky taste is a good trait to have. It forces you to seek authenticity in every part of your life, which tends to lead to some interesting discoveries. To us, there's nothing more interesting and authentic than vintage American style: it is rich with some of the most inspiring and badass aesthetics on this planet. And no one is known better for keeping that alive in Greenpoint, Brooklyn than Tomcats Barbershop®. Not surprisingly, Tomcats is also known for the several Harley-Davidson motorcycles constantly parked upfront. Tomcats Barbershop® is pompadours and the classic american styles that rely on copious amounts of pomade. Retro is the new modern.

With the addition of Steve #1000 on February 12, 2009, NCSE's Project Steve attained the kilosteve mark. A tongue-in-cheek parody of the long-standing creationist tradition of amassing lists of "scientists who doubt evolution" or "scientists who dissent from Darwinism," Project Steve mocks such lists by restricting its signatories to scientists whose first name is Steve.
The Journal of Effective Teaching, a peer-reviewed electronic journal devoted to the discussion of teaching excellence in colleges and universities, is calling (PDF) for papers for a special issue on the teaching of evolution in a university setting.
House Bill 656, introduced in the Missouri House of Representatives on February 10, 2009, and not yet referred to a committee, is the latest antievolution "academic freedom" bill.
The executive committee of the Society of Integrative and Comparative Biology decided not to hold any future meetings in New Orleans owing to "the official position of the state in weakening science education and specifically attacking evolution in science curricula," according to a February 5, 2009, letter (PDF) from SICB's president, Richard Satterlie, to Louisiana's governor Bobby Jindal.

Ryan Gosling & Eva Mendes: New Year's Eve Lovebirds!
Ryan Gosling and girlfriend Eva Mendes exit the Bowery Hotel and head to a New Year's Eve bash together on Saturday evening (December 31) in New York City.
The 31-year-old actor tried to keep a low-profile by hiding behind his bag.
PHOTOS: Check out the latest pics of Ryan Gosling
The day before, Ryan and Eva took a flight from Los Angeles to NYC together and tried to stay away from attention by boarding the flight separately.
Ryan and Eva's film The Place Beyond the Pines is set to be released in the new year. The flick is about a motorcycle stunt rider who considers committing a crime in order to provide for his wife and child, an act that puts him on a collision course with a cop-turned-politician.
FYI: Ryan is wearing Red Wing Heritage boots and carrying a JanSport "Pleasanton" backpack.

Spills and Thrills at the 2009 British Fashion Awards
>> Last night's British Fashion Awards provided a forum for all kinds of announcements — Christopher Bailey, who accepted both BFC Designer Brand of the Year for Burberry and BFC Designer of the Year, confirmed that Burberry will show in London again for Fall 2010; and Victoria Beckham said she's planning to take an active role in the BFC that in which she would mentor young designers or serve as an ambassador.
Christopher Kane was awarded BFC British Collection of the Year, Kate Moss won the publicly-voted London 25 Award, Peter Pilotto nabbed the Swarovski Emerging Talent Award for Ready-to-wear, and Georgia May Jagger took the BFC Model of the Year award — "Thank you so much to the BFC for picking me. I'd just like to say [fellow nominees] Daisy [Lowe] and Rosie [Huntington-Whiteley] are amazing girls and amazing models. Thanks to my mum for being the biggest inspiration."
But the model who really stole the night was Karen Elson, who, when onstage to present Grace Coddington with the Isabella Blow Award for Fashion Creator, walked straight into the orchestra pit and fell four feet out of sight. She emerged minutes later, "I am the clumsiest person on this earth. I cannot believe I just did that. That is the worst fall I have ever had. I might have broken a rib, but I'm fine." After presenting, she took to the emergency room to see about her injuries — including a sprained thumb.

6.5 percent tuition hike for UConn
Board of trustees approves university budget with 6.5 percent increase
STORRS -- The cost of going to the state's flagship university is going up.
The University of Connecticut board of trustees approved a $1.9 billion spending plan for 2014-15 that counts on both a previously approved 6.5 percent tuition increase and more students becoming Huskies.
In-state UConn students next year will pay $9,858 in tuition, which is $602 more than this year. Mandatory fees brings the cost to $12,700. With room and board added, the total price tag is $24,774 -- $1,000 more than this year.
As part of the plan, UConn says it will increase undergraduate enrollment by 676 students to 22,977 and will also hire 61 new faculty members.
The UConn increase is three times the size of the 2 percent tuition increase approved in March for 17 state universities and colleges, which are under the umbrella of the Board of Regents for Higher Education. The increase will push tuition at community colleges -- which includes Housatonic, Norwalk, Gateway and Naugatuck Valley -- to $3,432.
Students at the state's four regional universities -- Southern, Western, Central and Eastern -- all pay slightly different amounts, but the average is $9,169.
At UConn, plans to bolster the faculty head count as a way to lower class sizes, allow more students to graduate on time and strengthen the university's programs were announced shortly after UConn President Susan Herbst came to the university. Next year's new crop of faculty will include 35 in fields related to science, technology, engineering and math.
Others will teach courses students must take as prerequisites in communication arts and sciences, said Stephanie Reitz, a university spokeswoman.
Reitz said the increase will still keep UConn competitive with it's peer institutions and is not the amount most students will actually pay. Some 86 percent of UConn students receive some form of financial aid that lowers their costs.
Still, students are not happy.
"Our parents work paycheck to paycheck now. I am working hard as I can to get a good education," said Yaaser Abdugalil, a junior business major from Bridgeport.
Abdugalil said the increase would probably force him to take out more student loans.
"An extra $1,000 is not easy to get, and I'm not sure what they need the money for," Abdugalil said. The campus he said, has enough sculptures and enough teachers, too.
Maddie Ames, a UConn senior from Bethel, called the tuition hike unfortunate.
"It is a shame that higher education is becoming more and more inaccessible for so many people," said Ames, an English major. "It just doesn't seem right."
It doesn't make sense either to Domenica Ghanem, a journalism and political science student from New Jersey.
"We are already paying so much," Ghanem said. Out-of-state students will face a $44,698 bill before financial aid, putting it on a par with many private universities.
Ghanem said she has some academic scholarships, but the cost is so high "it is almost not worth it anymore to go to a four-year institution."
"We graduate with so much debt that we can't get a head start when our lives are just starting out," said Ghanem. "That is money we could use to put a down payment on a house in the future or start up our own businesses."
Even though the increase was part of a four-year plan approved in December 2011, Ghanem said most students won't realize it until they get their tuition bill for the fall.
Michael Daniels, a student member of the UConn board of trustees from Plainville, defended the increase as necessary to ensure a balanced budget.
"This means we've kept our promise of allowing students to anticipate tuition raises ahead of time, and I am very thankful for that," he said. "UConn remains a very good value."
Other students called the news disheartening.
"I understand that the university needs to pay for its expenses, and raising the cost of tuition is one source of paying the bills. However, I believe raising tuition costs should be the last option the university takes," said Christian Caceres, a sophomore from Essex in UConn's nutritional science program.
Caceres said he is paying his own way through school and wants to go to medical school. He hopes the increase doesn't become a trend.
The UConn board of trustees voted for four years of 6.5 percent tuition increases in December 2011. This year's increase is the third of four hikes.
In exchange, UConn's full-time faculty is to increase by 300. In 2014-15, there will be 1,546 faculty members, for a 16-to-1 ratio of students to faculty.

I know this will sound strange but most of my life since I can remember I have been followed around by a strange black rabbit who isn't really there. He is small about the size of a folgers can and all black greyish eyes from what i can tell. Most encounters I have with it are out of the corner of my eye but on occasion I see it right in front of me and it will sit and stare at me sometimes for a few moments the run off and disappear. Now I'm not some strung out kid im am a grown sober man I don't even drink I can't understand it's reason to follow me. It has no evil or menacing presence. Just as if it's curios about me. I've read a bit about shadow animals but haven't found much but what I have read doesn't really seem the same for instance I see it's face and body very clearly and it seems to want me to know it's there at times. It even goes as far as to run in front of me as I'm walking (on vary rare occasions). I don't mean for it to leave I'd just like to understand it a little more. If you think you could help please let me know thank you Adam

Visitor information
Visiting the Centre
Buckinghamshire Railway Centre occupies an extensive site in rolling Buckinghamshire countryside. There is so much to see and do! Exhibits range from large express passenger locomotives to the humble shunting engine together with a host of smaller items recreating the golden age of steam. Check our events programme to see what is happening on the day of your planned visit – steam trains operate on certain days and others are devoted to various special events.
Well behaved dogs on leads are welcome on the site and in the trains. There should be a bowl of water on your left through the door from the Visitor Centre towards the train rides.
We have three types of Open Day:
Special Events: See 'Special Events' or 'Calendar' on the top options bar for more information on these and to find out when they are.
Steaming Days: This is when we have a full-size steam train in action, ready to take you for a ride! We also have miniature ride-on steam trains. These are run by our sister Society VAMES, and there is a small charge for this. Steaming Days are every Sunday (Easter-Halloween), and also Wednesdays during school holidays.
Static Days: This is when the site is open, but no steam trains or rides will be running. These days are much quieter and ticket prices are lower. We are open for static viewing on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays (however, during the school holidays Wednesdays become Steaming Days!) The cafe is only open for snacks (crisps/chocolate/biscuits) and self-service drinks (hot and cold) on these days. The shop is open.
Our cafe and gift shop are fully open on all Steaming and Special Event days.
Opening Times: 10.30am - 5pm (4.30pm on weekdays). Last admission 1 hour before closing.
If you have any questions or require more information about the Centre please do telephone 01296 655720 or email email@example.com. Please do call us before travelling if you are unsure of what will be open/running on the day you want to visit.
Length of visit
Depending on your level of interest and the nature of the event being held on a particular day you can expect to cover all the principal areas in 2-2.5 hours but there's plenty to interest you if you have more time available. Many people come and spend the whole day - especially at our Special Events!
Many of the exhibits are displayed under cover so the Centre is a truly all-weather attraction!
How to get here
Watch out for the brown signs above off the A41 near Waddesdon and the A413 at Whitchurch.
By Car
SatNav postcode: HP22 4BY
Buckinghamshire Railway Centre is on the outskirts of Quainton, a village situated half way between Bicester and Aylesbury just off the A41, and south of Buckingham. Watch out for our brown railway attraction signs off the A41 near Waddesdon and the A413 at Whitchurch. If you are coming from Aylesbury direction, due to lots of new housing developments which upset some SatNav systems, we advise you to remain on the A41 until you have driven through Waddesdon, then follow the signs.
Junctions 7, 8 and 9 of the M40 are all close by and the M1, M25, M4 and M40 network makes the Centre easily accessible from London, the South East and the Midlands. Ample free car parking is provided for cars and coaches.
By Bus
Unfortunately the bus service does not run on Sundays, but Red Rose bus service no. 16/17 bus runs from Aylesbury Bus Station to Quainton and back Monday-Saturday, so great for Special Event weekends like Day Out With Thomas www.redrosetravel.com. For bus information telephone Traveline on 0871 200 2233 and select England and South East on the menu.

...Another meter and/or line sounds like a lot of extra $$. We live in a residential area, 55FT wide lot, sidewalks, curbs etc. and the current line comes up through the lower level concrete floor. It doesn't sound like a simple or cheap option...

HILLSDALE � For most of the day, the Hillsdale College men's basketball team appeared ready to coast to a key victory.
Jeff Copeland and the Walsh University Cavaliers had other ideas.
Copeland's driving basket and free throw with five seconds remaining helped Walsh cap a big second-half comeback Saturday, sending the Chargers to a 75-73 loss in a Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference game at Jesse Philips Arena.
Hillsdale (12-6, 8-6 GLIAC) held a 12-point lead at halftime, then stretched its advantage to 18 early in the second half. Walsh (12-5, 8-5 GLIAC) refused to go quietly and outscored the Chargers 50-36 in the half.
The Chargers still looked to be in good shape with 3:07 remaining when Tim Dezelski hit a jumper, putting Hillsdale up 71-61. Rian Burrell and Copeland answered with consecutive 3-pointers, but Ryan Choiniere hit a pair of free throws with 1:51 left, making it 73-67.
The Chargers would not score for the rest of the game.
Walsh pulled to within three after a tip-in by Kenny Kornowski and a free throw by Davonte Beard. With 25 seconds remaining, Brad DuPont scored a layup off a steal, bringing the Cavaliers to within 73-72.
After Hillsdale came up empty on the ensuing possession, the Copeland went to work on his late heroics. After taking a pass in the paint, Copeland drove through two Hillsdale defenders, scored a layup and was fouled. He then converted the traditional 3-point play, giving the Cavaliers a 75-73 lead.
The Chargers inbounded the ball and worked it to Choiniere, who had his 3-point attempted blocked at the horn.
Playing its first game with the students on campus since Dec. 1, the Chargers came out of the blocks strong. They erased a three-point deficit with a 12-1 run early in the first half. An inside basket by Brandon Pritzl and a 3-pointer by Tony Nelson gave Hillsdale a 17-10 lead. Walsh pulled to within one midway through the half when Kornowski scored in the paint and hit a free throw, but the Chargers closed the half with a 17-6 run.
Nick Washburn converted a traditional 3-point play, then baskets by Nelson and Dezelski lifted Hillsdale to a 37-25 lead at halftime.
The Chargers extended their lead early in the second half. Washburn's hook shot and two driving baskets by Pritzl gave Hillsdale a 46-28 lead three minutes in.
Walsh gradually chipped away at the deficit as Copeland and Burrell got hot from the floor. A traditional 3-point play by Burrell and a missile from DuPont brought the Cavaliers to within eight, but Pritzl answered with a 3-pointer and baskets from Choiniere, Washburn and Dezelski gave Hillsdale a 56-41 lead midway through the half.
Copeland's putback with 4:49 remaining brought Walsh to within eight again, but Darius Ware's driving basket seconds later put the Chargers up 67-57.
Hillsdale put five players in double figures. Washburn led the way with 18 points, while Dezelski added 14 points, eight rebounds and six assists. Pritzl also had 14 points and Ware scored 11 points and grabbed five rebounds. Nelson finished with 10 points.
Copeland scored a game-high 24 points for Walsh, while Burrell had 20 points. Kornowski recorded a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds and DuPont finished with 11 points.
The Chargers will return to action Saturday, Feb. 2 when they host the Findlay University Oilers.

The mood among Maine voters ran from resignation to outrage as they went to the polls Tuesday to cast ballots in the race for governor and other elections.
Informal interviews at polling places showed some voters sticking to party lines, others venturing into new political territory and still others voting for the candidates they liked best, regardless of party.
Depending on their politics and points of view, voters cast ballots in favor of experience, out of a desire for change, and sometimes just to keep the other candidate from winning.
That was Gretchen Fleming's strategy when she voted for independent gubernatorial candidate Eliot Cutler over Republican Paul LePage and Democrat Libby Mitchell.
"It was a hard decision," said Fleming, 39, a teacher who lives in Norway.
"I didn't really love any of them. But I really do not want Paul LePage to win."
Fleming said she normally votes for Democrats or independents, but she was concerned that a vote for Mitchell was a vote for LePage.
"I think I would have voted for her, but from what I've read, the polls I've seen, Libby Mitchell was declining so much."
Scott Chase, 48, a Republican who lives in Scarborough, voted for LePage for governor, with some reservations.
"He's self-made, he's familiar with working," said Chase, a family physician. "I hope he is what he says, because I know there's been a lot of misinformation out there. I think it's time for some change. Hopefully, they'll act on what the people want and not on their own agenda."
Chase also voted for Democratic U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree over Republican Dean Scontras. "I think Chellie has done a lot for the people of Maine," he said. "Dean, he's a little too conservative, I think."
Ferd Paradis, 63, a Republican who lives in Waterville, also voted for LePage, but he chose Democratic U.S. Rep. Mike Michaud over Republican Jason Levesque. "I like what he's been doing so far," Paradis said of Michaud.
While Maine teachers' unions backed Mitchell, some educators voted otherwise.
Tim Luff, 31, a special education director who lives in Norway, said he voted for LePage and Levesque.
"I'm a Republican and voted on the basic principle of smaller government," Luff said. "I'm all for a lot of social services, but not for the way the government handles it."
Peter Roof, 60, a Republican retiree who lives in Newport, also voted for LePage and Levesque.
"I consider myself a libertarian, and I'm sick and tired of the same old stuff," Roof said. "We need to reduce government. Whatever it takes to us to that point. I've lived here for more than 20 years and I was a businessman, and I was strangled by regulations and employee benefits. It's a very anti-business climate in Maine."
What turned some voters off turned other voters on.
Connie Gelinas, 74, and her husband, Bill, 75, Republican retirees who live in Scarborough, voted for LePage and Scontras.
"We voted for (LePage) not because he's French — although that helps — and not because he's Catholic — although that helps — but because he's pro-life and pro-marriage," Connie Gelinas said.
Tony Ackerman, 87, a Republican retiree who lives in Windham, voted for LePage because "he told it like it was. He has no frills. I liked his honesty. I had friends in Waterville who told me about his record as mayor." He voted for Scontras because "he avoided having a negative attitude."
Liz McMahon, 37, a stage art director who lives in Portland, voted for Mitchell and Pingree.
"I trust and agree with (Mitchell's) track record in the past on taxes, education, the environment. She is very liberal," said McMahon, a member of the Green Independent Party. "I have always been a big supporter (of Pingree) and think she has done an excellent job."
Julie Levesque, 77, a retired Democrat who lives in Waterville, voted for Mitchell and Michaud.
"I'm strong Democratic-leaning and I approve of her stance on many issues," Levesque said of Mitchell. "It's more about other issues I don't agree with, from her opponents."
Tony Rose, 63, a retired Democrat who lives in Portland, also voted for Mitchell.
"I met her and had discussions with her and trust her," Rose said. "It's hard to say who's lying the most. She isn't pushing the limit of lying. A lot of them are lying. And a lot of them are too negative. All politicians should be honest. No negative ads. The ads should say, 'This is my party and this is what I am doing. If you don't like it, vote for someone else.'"
Amy Boyington, 40, an unenrolled voter who is a nurse and lives in Scarborough, voted for Mitchell and Pingree.
"I wavered between Eliot Cutler and (Mitchell), but I didn't like LePage. He just doesn't seem qualified," Boyington said. "I'm pretty liberal, grew up in northern Maine, and I think southern Maine is pretty liberal. But having moved away and come back, it made me aware of the conservatism here. I want Maine to be more welcoming."
Carolyn Sloan, 62, an administrative assistant and Democrat who lives in Portland, voted for Mitchell and Pingree.
"I value (Mitchell's) experience and her ability to work with the people in the Legislature," Sloan said. "The Legislature has done a really great job of coping with the last two years — not that it's been pleasant."
Some Democrats voted for LePage and Scontras, including Richard Downs, 65, a retiree from Portland.
"I'm a registered Democrat, but that's not the way I vote these days," Downs said. "We've had Democrats in control now for so long in Augusta. That's one of the reasons I was against (Mitchell), because she's been there for 30 some-odd years and they've been in control, and look where we are. Why would I want her to be governor?"
Some unenrolled voters chose LePage and Levesque, including Robert Rossignol, 68, a retiree from Fairfield.
"I thought (LePage) did a good job in Waterville," Rossignol said. "He was a very good mayor. He seems to be in business and we need someone in business, instead of all of those lawyers." He voted for Levesque "because Mike Michaud is too much Nancy Pelosi-style."
Republicans who voted for Cutler included Sally Petit, 56, a substitute teacher who lives in Scarborough.
"I didn't choose Mitchell because she's old school," Petit said. "And LePage, I didn't trust what he would do."
Barbara Lord, 65, a Republican retiree who lives in Hallowell, also voted for Cutler. "I just think we needed a change," she said.
Another Republican who voted for Cutler was Patricia Bessey, 39, a stay-at-home mom who lives in Newport.
"I liked everything he had to say," Bessey said. "I just wanted fresh blood, but not LePage." She voted for Michaud because "I like his experience."
Democrats who voted for Cutler included Ramzi Karam, 67, a car salesman who lives in Scarborough.
Karam said he liked Cutler's "background, his ads, his experience, his coolness. He doesn't blow up, like somebody else. He showed up for all the debates, too. He did not skip any."
Janice Hallee, 53, a laid-off teacher who lives in Fairfield, is another Democrat who voted for Cutler, as well as Michaud.
"He's very well-spoken and sophisticated and has global experience," Hallee said. "(Michaud) has a proven record and is careful in how he protects Maine."
Cutler also got the vote of Diane Nickerson, 59, a receptionist who lives in Portland and is an unenrolled voter.
"I feel like he's the one who can beat LePage," Nickerson said. "It really wasn't a vote against Libby Mitchell; it was a vote against LePage."
Stu Grydo, 37, an unenrolled voter who lives in South Portland, also voted for Cutler because "he was the best bet to beat LePage" and because Cutler's ads and commercials influenced him. "He seems to respond and be involved."
Grydo, who is unemployed, voted for Pingree because "I like what she has done, and some of the stuff Scontras says scares me."
Cutler was the choice for Irwin Rupert, 55, an unenrolled voter and computer specialist who lives in Cape Elizabeth.
Rupert said he feels Maine's economy stands to benefit from Cutler's business experience in China, which is expected to have the world's largest economy in the next few decades. He said voters tend to put too much blame on the party in power during times of economic crisis, and the backlash against Democrats is an overreaction.
"Maine is still life the way it should be," Rupert said. "The economy is a lot bigger than Maine. You've just got to ride out the lows."
Shawn Moody and Kevin Scott, two other independent candidates in the five-way governor's race, also got some votes.
Lois Dutton, 52, a retiree and Republican from Scarborough, voted for Moody "because he's a small-business owner and I think he understands the general needs of people at all levels."
Dee Terrio, 77, a retiree and Democrat from Newport, voted for Moody because "I like the way he thinks. He made more sense – common sense – and is ready to change and make Maine better."

Breast cancer survivor tells her story
YREKA – "I can't believe it's been 24.5 years since I heard those words," said Rona Tranchina, a nail technician who has survived breast cancer twice.
Tranchina was just 33 years old and had been married a 14 months when she discovered a walnut-sized lump during a self-examination, her first indication of the disease.
That was in 1989. At the time, doctors lacked many of the genetic tests and diagnostic knowledge they have today, so it was quite a surprise for both Tranchina and her doctors when a malignant tumor went from undetectable during a routine physical to walnut-sized in the short span of seven weeks.
Tranchina's cancer was the result of BRCA #1, an uncommon and hereditary genetic mutation that produces aggressive forms of the disease. Tranchina's proved so hostile that her one tumor contained three different strains of cancer.
"At 33, it's quite the shock," said Tranchina, asserting her proactiveness and that of her doctors is what saved her life.
She said she did not think or hesitate when the diagnosis came in; she simply thought of doing the best with what she had and was on the operating table two and a half weeks later.
Her first bout with cancer would take a full year out of her life with debilitating treatments of chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
"It seems like its never going to stop. Then it does," Tranchina said. "Everything about me began to change."
She said her outlook on life became different, softening her as a person. One example she noted was that she now observed the significance of her birthdays, something she had never considered worthwhile before.
Tranchina said it is sad to see those come out the other side of battling breast cancer as harder people, more frustrated and more depressed.
Twenty-one years later, in May 2010, the breast cancer returned. Having been diagnosed before, Tranchina said she looked at things a lot differently. With her personal battles conquered during round one, she decided to get involved in the larger fight.
Tranchina joined Relay for Life, put together a team and helps raise money for the American Cancer Society every year to support cancer research as well as local programs out of the Redding office such as wig, transportation and counseling services.
"That's what round two did for me – that and take both of my breasts," Tranchina said. She added that new laws meant her insurance company was responsible for her reconstructive surgery, which it was not required to do back in 1989.
As a result, she will not have to "deal with the lopsidedness of life" for another 20 years.
Today, Tranchina said she has a clean bill of health although the genes still lie in wait "like a time bomb." Undaunted, she looks forward to retiring and spending time with her grandchildren.
She said she's thankful progress in genetic mapping and more advanced preventative testing will save her daughter, who has been identified for the mutation, and her grandchildren from the "anguish, pain and suffering."
"When potential death knocks on your door twice, you learn to be flexible and appreciate the small things in life," Tranchina said. "It wasn't easy going through it, but on the outside, I have a greater appreciation for life and a bigger heart."
Tranchina is thankful to her husband, Jim Tranchina, for his support throughout the years, as well as the surrounding care of her friends and family. She noted how important community and support are and that others would be amazed at how many people want to help.
Speaking to women who might be diagnosed with breast cancer one day, Tranchina said, "Don't be a victim. You're life will be yours again. Accept the help. Do some soul searching. Find out what the experience is doing for you."

Following years of conflicting lower court rulings, the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday agreed to decide one of the most contested legal questions in higher education today: whether public colleges can enforce anti-bias rules when religious student organizations seek recognition or funding.
Both sides in the case before the court argue that they are defending students from discrimination. "Often university officials don't like the religious groups and we see [colleges' anti-bias rules] as one more mechanism for keeping religious groups off campus," said Kim Colby, a lawyer for the Christian Legal Society, which wants the right to organize chapters at public law schools even if those law schools ban discrimination based on sexual orientation. The society excludes gay people — and others who do not share its faith.
The Hastings College of Law of the University of California, like many public colleges and universities, has a policy barring discrimination based on sexual orientation as a requirement for student organizations seeking recognition and funding — and denied recognition to the society as a result. Ethan Schulman, a lawyer for Hastings, frames the case this way. "There's no question of the importance of the issue of whether public colleges have a constitutional obligation to subsidize discriminatory groups on campus," he said.
The question of whether and when the Supreme Court might decide the issue has been the subject of much speculation. The court tends to take courses when there are splits among appeals courts, and that is the case on this issue.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has backed Hastings and other public schools and colleges that have defended the enforcement of their anti-bias rules. But the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit backed the Christian Legal Society in a similar dispute at the Southern Illinois University law school. The Illinois ruling stressed the First Amendment rights of the Christian students to free association; the ruling on Hastings was only a few sentences long, but referenced another case that said that as long as anti-bias rules were devised and applied equally, they could be applied to the religious organizations at public institutions.
Despite the split between the appeals courts, some legal experts thought that it could be years before the Supreme Court took up the case. That's because the Supreme Court in June passed up a chance to review the case that was the basis of the Ninth Circuit's ruling in Hastings. The Supreme Court doesn't have to say why it rejects some cases or takes others, but in recent weeks, the exceptionally long time that the justices were taking to indicate their decision on whether to hear the Hastings appeal encouraged some of those wanting the Supreme Court to take the case.
The uncertainty has left some colleges changing their policies to avoid lawsuits, while others have stood their ground. While the Hastings and Southern Illinois cases have been based on law school student groups, other suits have been started by Christian fraternities. And while the legal issue before the Supreme Court relates to public colleges and universities, the ethical issues involved have been turning up at private institutions as well, with an intense debate taking place at Cornell University over the last year.
The Legal Issues
The center of the debate before the Supreme Court is the question of whether the Christian groups are suffering religious discrimination (as they say) or whether they are seeking special treatment (as Hastings says).
The Christian Legal Society argues that its First Amendment rights to religious freedom and free association can't coexist with requirements that they view as violating their basic beliefs. Colby, the lawyer for the society, said that the group expects its members to "conduct themselves in a manner that is Biblically correct" and that it is "common sense" that a religious group should be able to determine its own standards.
While critics of the society have noted that its members could still congregate on campuses without student funds or official recognition, Colby said that "it does matter whether you are recognized or not" and that the Supreme Court has backed that right. She noted a 1972 decision, Healy v. James, on the right of public college students to organize a chapter of Students for a Democratic Society (against the wishes of university administrators) as evidence that the Supreme Court sees official recognition as a significant right.
Christian students "want to be treated just like other groups," she said, and that means forming groups of like-minded students. "That's why universities set up these programs in the first place. They are a way of helping students organize around viewpoints, a diversity of viewpoints." (Details of the argument can be found in the society's brief asking the Supreme Court to take the case.)
The Hastings argument, however, is that the Christian Legal Society is trying not to be treated like other student groups.
"The Supreme Court has been sympathetic to the idea that religious groups should have equal access, that they should be treated in the same manner as other groups," Schulman said. "What's different here is that the Christian Legal Society is seeking special rights for religious groups. It is asking the court to say that religious groups should be exempted from generally applicable non-discriminatory policies and that would be a very dangerous and troubling precedent." Schulman noted that no one has presented any evidence that the Christian Legal Society had to face additional rules or different rules than those imposed on other student groups because of its religious status.
Further, he questioned the idea that letting in a gay student or a non-believing student would destroy the integrity of the society. He said that the case followed a period in which the Hastings branch of the society didn't seek to kick out those who didn't share the group's beliefs and that it had an openly gay member, and non-Christian members, without any impact on the group's views. Schulman contrasted that experience — in which students are welcome in all recognized groups — with the "official imprimatur of discrimination" that he said the society is seeking to impose. (Details of the Hastings argument can be found in its brief asking the Supreme Court to let the lower court's decision stand.)
Middle Ground?
Robert M. O'Neil, a former president of the University of Virginia and the University of Wisconsin System who directs the Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression, said he was surprised that the Supreme Court took the case, given how recently it had turned back another opportunity to decide the issue.
While not predicting what the justices will decide, he noted that there could be middle ground found if the Supreme Court wants to respect both the "institutional interest in enforcing non-discrimination policy and the religious freedom and free association interests of these organizations."
One balancing act might involve public institutions keeping their anti-bias rules, but not applying them to the selection of officers of organizations, so that a Christian group could be assured that it would be led by members who share certain beliefs. Another approach — for which O'Neil gave credit to one of his law students — might have public colleges keep their policies and require all student organizations to acknowledge the policies and pledge commitment to them, but the institutions would not take actions against groups without a formal complaint.
The Supreme Court could of course decide to favor one side or another, O'Neil said, but he stressed that it was possible to envision compromise positions.
A challenge for Hastings and its supporters, O'Neil said, may be that there are not federal statutes and there are relatively few state laws barring discrimination based on sexual orientation. This "will make it very important for institutions to articulate clearly a rationale for including sexual orientation among forbidden types of discrimination."
O'Neil said that academic freedom issues may also be raised. He said that faculty groups may want to weigh in on behalf of the right of public colleges and universities to set their own anti-discrimination policies and to enforce them. The American Association of University Professors has yet to weigh in on the case.
The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education plans to file a brief in the case, backing the Christian Legal Society, on the grounds that free association rights are being endangered by the way Hastings and other public universities have enforced anti-bias rules.
Debate at Cornell
One reality of litigation involving college students is that the students initially involved may be long gone before a case is resolved. The Christian Legal Society first sued Hastings in 2004. But the issues raised continue to turn up — and they also show that the principles raised on both sides aren't hypothetical (which many people assume to be the case, since it may be hard to imagine why students would seek to join a group that wants to discriminate against them).
Consider the controversy over the last year at Cornell University (which, while it has four units of the State University of New York, is a private university and not covered legally in the same way Hastings is).
Christopher Donohoe had been involved in the Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship from the time he was a freshman, and was elected a vice president during his junior year. When he returned as a senior in the fall of 2008, he told the leaders of the organization that he was coming out as gay — and he lost his post as a result. After a few months, he went public with his story, setting off a series of discussions over whether Chi Alpha should be recognized and receive student funds.
A student government body initially tried to freeze funding for Chi Alpha, but that effort failed when it was pointed out that the organization wasn't violating any rules governing student organizations. That led to proposals to amend the Campus Code to bar funding for groups that discriminate in ways that Cornell bars generally (including sexual orientation). Proponents of the change were clear that they wanted a tool to prevent funding from going to groups like Chi Alpha.
FIRE weighed in on Chi Alpha's behalf, writing to David Skorton, Cornell's president, arguing that the Christian group should not be punished financially for its actions against Donohoe. "An expressive organization, whether it is religious, political, or something else, must be allowed to limit its leadership to people who share the group's beliefs," said the FIRE letter. "The College Democrats must not be forced to maintain a leader who no longer is a Democrat or rejects various Democratic political beliefs, a Muslim group must not be forced to maintain a leader who no longer believes in tenets of Islam that the group deems important, and a Christian group must not be forced to maintain a leader who no longer agrees with the specific Christian doctrine of the group."
Skorton has in fact backed the right of free association, telling student government leaders that if they want to bar student organizations from discrimination, they should add a footnote to the policy stating that it does not limit "free speech, freedom of association and religious freedom." The student government is now holding off on imposing the proposed rules that could deny funds to Chi Alpha, a move that pleases FIRE and dismays The Cornell Daily Sun, the student newspaper, which in an editorial denounced the shift.
Donohoe, who graduated this year and is now teaching English as a second language in the Bronx through Teach for America, said he believed in free expression for Chi Alpha, but that when a student group strips someone of a position because he is gay, there are multiple issues at stake. "Chi Alpha is entitled to have its religious beliefs and those beliefs should not be censored," he said. "But when a group takes action against a student on the basis of a protected status, that's when I think you have crossed the line."
He added: "I was removed from a position because of my sexual orientation. If this had been any other status, if this had been race, if a black person had been removed for being black, I wouldn't be having this conversation. Any action taken against a student based on protected status should be wrong…. I understand that this is a very complicated issue because it is so important that the university protect all students, including their freedom of expression. But a student group should not be allowed to take action against someone because of their protected class status. If you are a member of the LGBT community, you are not protected, and that's really, really sad."

The anaerobic treatment technology uses submerged membranes for biomass retention and solids-liquid separation. The system maximizes biogas production and increases solids digestion while handling the large-volume food manufacturer's wastewater, which has a high content of fats, oil, and grease (FOG). The company converted its existing low-rate anaerobic reactor to operate as the reactor portion of the new AnMBR. The combined system produces 200,000 to 300,000 cubic feet of biogas per day. This captured byproduct provides 100 percent of the wastewater treatment plant's heating requirements as well as enough residual biogas to power more than 50 percent of the company's manufacturing facility.
ADI Systems (ADI) in cooperation with Kubota Corporation of Japan developed the AnMBR technology.
The Original Problem
Ken's Foods' wastewater originates from wash-down of cleaning mixers, filling machines, and other process equipment used to produce its salad dressings and marinades. The wastewater is screened and pumped into an equalization tank and then moves to the low-rate anaerobic reactor. Before the upgrade, effluent was polished using an anaerobic sequencing batch reactor (SBR). The plant was designed to treat a maximum flow of 550,000 gallons per week and 100,000 gallons per day. Due to production increases, excessive solids overloaded the SBR.
Dale Mills, chief operator for the Marlborough plant, explained, "We were manually monitoring the SBR decant to the city and stopping it when the water quality was not good enough." The city limits the concentration of suspended solids effluent to 600 mg/l.
"The SBR aerobic system was never the bottleneck," said Dwain Wilson, director of Process Operations for ADI Systems, which was hired to manage the problem. "The solution was to increase the capacity of the anaerobic reactor, and we suggested an anaerobic MBR application."
AnMBR is a high-rate anaerobic contact process providing a near-absolute barrier to solids. The biogas continually cleans the membranes during operation via a gas scour system.
"The anaerobic MBR increases the solids retention time within the system, reducing the amount of biomass that will require disposal," Wilson said. "It also allows the development of specialized bacteria that can acclimate to unusual organics."
The system has four anaerobic basins, each equipped with seven submerged membrane units. Removable geomembrane covers provide a gas-tight seal over each basin, allowing for the capture of biogas in the headspace above the cartridges and its return to the gas scour system for reuse.
The wastewater treatment system upgrade began construction in April 2008 and was fully commissioned by July.
The total suspended solids (TSS) concentration exiting the AnMBR averages less than 1 milligram per liter; biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) averages less than 25 mg per liter; and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal is greater than 99.4 percent. The ADI-AnMBR system at Ken's, which has been in operation for more than nine months, is the first installation of this technology in North America and the largest in the world.
The upgrade has eliminated solids loading to the SBR, and clean effluent from the AnMBR flows into the SBR, which has been re-purposed as a sulfide oxidation and nitrification tank.
The new plant also removes and renders 36,000 gallons of FOG per year and reduces 500 tons of dewatered residual solids. The quality of water in the SBR is clean enough for automated release, allowing the maximum 100,000 gallons per day to be decanted, eliminating the manufacturing interruption previously caused by the treatment system.
The Added Benefit
"We capture the biogas produced in the anaerobic digester to heat the processing building and the reactor with it," said Mills. "We
ADI provided a complete biogas recovery and utilization system encompassing gas collection, treatment, storage, compression, and delivery systems.
"We are evaluating the feasibility of using the flared biogas for co-generation of electricity in our manufacturing facility," said Mike Kolakowski, engineering manager for the plant. "The amount of biogas that is generated from the reactor will reduce our draw from the utility grid by well over 50 percent."
Kolakowski noted that the multi-million dollar investment in the AnMBR has had an immediate impact on plant operational costs. "In terms of wastewater plant operational costs alone, we've realized a direct savings of over 50 percent, a return on investment of more than 5 percent in the first nine months."
"Although this was a new technology in our application, we had confidence in ADI's design and operational expertise and liked the potential for savings," Kolakowski said.
"We've not only realized our capacity goals but are exceeding savings projections through reduction of biomass removal. Alternative solutions would have required the use of incremental chemicals for flocculation and precipitation, and increased the amount of residual for disposal or further processing. We have averted all three and eliminated the need for biomass removal for the foreseeable future."
ADI Systems Inc. is a technology and design-build company that provides a wide range of wastewater treatment systems to industrial companies around the world. It is part of the ADI Group, which has 23 offices throughout Canada, the United States, and the Caribbean.

Ruthy Dunec never dreamed that a childhood love of gymnastics would result in her opening a gym and then later working with the cast of the Tony Award-winning musical Billy Elliot.
Dunec is known for developing a children's fitness program called Dance Trix, which helps competitive dancers improve their acrobatic and dance techniques.
When Billy Elliot – about a boy who gives up on boxing to fulfil his dream of becoming a ballet dancer, with a score by pop superstar Elton John – opened in previews in Toronto last month (the official opening was March 1), the producers turned to Dunec for help.
The Toronto production team realized that the cast, which includes 18 children, would benefit from working with an expert who could teach dance and acrobatic techniques in a safe, fun and professional manner.
Dunec, 30, enjoyed gymnastics and dance as a kid. She went to Associated Hebrew Schools and continued her education at the Community Hebrew Academy of Toronto. Her passion for the arts led her to study kinesiology at York University. Since the age of 16, she's taught gymnastics, and she realized she had a flair for working with children and that her students liked her technique.
Her passion for finding a balance between art and fitness led her to take over the ownership of the Steeles West Gym, which offers programs for children. Dunec is the program director of KinderBounce Gymnastics as well as Dance Trix, which are part of an umbrella company called Fit 4 Life.
The producers of Billy Elliot heard about Dunec through the Toronto dance-industry grapevine. When they contacted her, she went through a rigorous interview process, after which she was hired to train eight cast members to do acrobatic tricks.
As someone with lots of experience working with dancers, Dunec understands the types of movements a dancer needs to present themselves properly on stage. She also makes sure the actors are learning tricks safely and are perfecting their dance and acrobatic skills.
"One thing I noticed immediately was that they [the cast of Billy Elliot] are extremely hardworking and talented kids. The show is very demanding physically and they do a lot of different tricks and skills, like doing a round-off off the piano with no hands. If they don't train properly, they could get really injured," said Dunec.
In addition to the eight cast members, Dunec has also been working with the ensemble cast who provide acrobatic elements within the show. She said she's committed to training the Billy Elliot cast – she commutes downtown at least twice a week to work with the actors, teaching them new acrobatic skills, improving their existing skills and making sure they are well trained.
"The kids are very young, ranging from age 12 to 14, which is a major growth time, so if they don't have constant maintenance, they could lose a lot of their skills and sustain injuries, so it's really different from working on a normal Broadway show, because a lot of hard work goes into just keeping these kids at the level they are at," said Dunec.
Although this is her first time working on a Broadway show, it isn't the first time she's been involved with a popular dance production.
Dunec said the stars of So You Think You Can Dance Canada – a Gemini Award-winning TV series that features dancers who compete to win cash, a car and the title of Canada's Favourite Dancer – also frequently train in her gym.
Dunec said she enjoys the challenge of juggling her duties at the gym, the gymnastic programs she runs and working with the Billy Elliot cast.
"Overall, it's been so rewarding. I'm honoured to be working with these kids, and I'm excited about doing this again in the future," she said.
One thing is for sure: she now sees Broadway shows in a new light.
"I've been a big fan of Broadway musical theatre forever, and now that I'm part of the behind-thescenes crew, I can never really look at a show the same way," she said.
"I've realized all the hard work that goes into putting on such a show, and I know that every word, movement and action took 20 to 30 hours to rehearse."
Dunec loved the experience working on this show and hopes to work on another show in the future.
"Anything I do, I really put in 120 per cent. I'm taking it beyond just teaching the kids acrobatic elements, and I try to stick around afterwards to watch some of their numbers and really understand the purpose of what I'm teaching," she said. "The whole process has just been so exciting and rewarding."

The third trimester is the most sleep challenged stage of pregnancy. With the frequency of urination, inability to get comfortable and exhaustion from trying to keep up with the demands of their normal schedules, some women find themselves struggling to stay awake. Hayley complained, "The third trimester was tough. I felt huge and could not get comfortable. I could hardly breathe because I started becoming asthmatic. Plus, the baby would kick at night causing me to wake up many times."
Back Pain, Muscle Aches and General Discomfort
In a study by the Department of Anesthesiology, Yale University School of Medicine, 950 pregnant women were surveyed about lower back pain during pregnancy, how it impacts day-to-day life and how their healthcare provider managed the pain. The study showed that 645 respondents reported back pain during their pregnancy and a majority claimed that it caused sleep disturbances.
These aches and pains can be associated with the ligaments between the pelvic bones softening and the joints loosening in preparation for the birth. Carrying the weight of the baby also affects posture, leaving many women uncomfortable walking, sitting, and sleeping.
Night Waking
Although studies show that women start waking up during the night at the onset of pregnancy, Dr. Mindell and Dr. Barry J. Jacobson's study "Sleep Disturbances During Pregnancy" show that by the end of pregnancy 97.3% of the women were waking at night - an average of 3.11 times each night. Two thirds of the women who woke up at night awakened five or more nights per week. Waking up multiple times may interrupt the necessary sleep cycles.
Many pregnant women start snoring because of nasal congestion, and the increase in abdominal girth and the uterus pressing on the diaphragm. About 30% of pregnant women snore because of increased swelling in their nasal passages, which can block airways. Snoring can also lead to high blood pressure, which can put both the mother and fetus at risk. If the blockage is severe, sleep apnea may result, characterized by loud snoring and periods of stopped breathing during sleep.
Women should consider snoring

All it's cracked up to be = all that is said about it, all the buzz.
Hi, all,
Song lyrics typically abound in slang expressions, or simply their authors freely interpret the notion of 'poetic liberty'. Here are two examples containing expressions I am not familiar with and would be grateful for explanation of (I give full contexts):
1. '... the landlady's all squared away...' (squared away - :? ?)
2. '... what they're cracked up to be...' (cracked up )
If those are some kind of swear words, I do apologise. It is not my intention to use foul language on any occasion, and especially in this forum.
Regards, T.K.
All it's cracked up to be = all that is said about it, all the buzz.
Thanks, Francois. I'm online, and watching for replies. Strangely, actually I hoped you might come up with an explanation. You seem to know quite a bit of the unusual stuff, judging from the many posts of yours I've read.
All the best - T.K. :)
I would say it refers to all the noise made by people talking about it, the hype, the frantic salesmen etc.

Casiopea - thanks a lot, particularly for the first one; it's something I probably would never be able to figure out left on my own.
By the way, the explanation you gave is perfectly appropriate in the context of the whole verse.

Leaks and World Changes:
The pre-BlizzCon leaks took most of the sting out of the announcement that Azeroth would be changing quite a bit, but I still think it is worth commenting on.
First of all, I think Blizzard did the leaks on purpose. There are so many changes that I Blizzard wanted to prepare people. It also makes people excited for the expansion, and helps sooth some of the back lash that might come from some of the more significant design changes.
I like the idea of them revamping classic Azeroth. It makes sense from the players perspective and from the designer's perspective. I've now level 4 toons through Azeroth and have started a 5th. Believe me, I am not excited to do it again. For Players, this may make leveling pun again because you get to see new stuff. It gives us a a reason to try a new class, and hopefully makes it easier to level with out having to travel across the world to complete a quest or get to a new leveling zone. For Developers, it should help attract new players. Leveling has to be a big barrier to attracting new players. The content is 5 years old, and the game doesn't really begin until Northrend any more. If I was a new player it wouldn't seem all that attractive to me to go through 70 or 80 levels of out of date content just to get to a place where there are people. Its a win/win.
For Max level toons they are increasing the level cap to 85 and opening 5 new zones for players level 80 and higher. It's nice that they they are going back and reusing some of the inaccessible lands on the map but there is one change here that I like the most. All of the new lands will be accessable through Deepholm, one of the new areas. I was not looking forward to the long flights from Hyjal to Uldum or riding a boat between the contants.
Though I have to say one of my reactions to this change was a little unexpected. I now want to play Horde. I'm not talking about abandoning Graylo or the Alliance in general, but there is a lot of content out there that I haven't seen, and I may not get to see it after the expansion. So, I have an urge now to level a couple of horde toons, but probably not to 80. I mainly want to see the starting areas and check out the primarily horde zones like the Barrens and Thousand Needles. So I will likely level a couple of horde toons to 20 or so to see the starting zones. I've already done a Blood Elf so that is one down. I'll probably also try and level one to 60 or so. It doesn't sound like Outland or Northrend will change much so I probably won't need to take a toon past 60 right away.
Itemization Changes:
It would have been really interesting to be in the room and hear them make all of these changes. I can only imagine what the shock of thousands of people felt like. If you've read the reports then you know that these changes are huge. They are basically eliminating 6 stats by combining them into other stats or talents. Creating a new stat called Mastery. They're are completely revamping out some of the stats are used by some classes. Here are the highlights as I saw them.
- Spell Power - Gone!!! It's now being included in with Intellect.
- Mp5 - Gone. It is being converted to Spirit.
- Spirit - Is a regen stat only useful to healers.
- DPS Mana Regen - Based upon Int now?
- Mastery - According to MMO Champion "Makes you better at what you do."
What is are we (and caster DPS in general, he is a mage) losing? Spirit is a marginal stat that no one wanted. Mp5 is an even worse stat that people wanted even less. We're not really losing Spell Power, it's just being combined with the marginal stat of Int to make it more relevant. Since we don't balance Int, Spirit, or Mp5 as it is so we aren't loosing any complexity. In fact, we are gaining complexity, because we will have to worry about Mastery.
I only have two worries coming out of this topic. The first is regarding regen. I assume that regen is still going to be important for DPS, I just wonder how we are ment to manage it. My second worry is how this will affect how we gem our gear. Spell Power is the only red gem stat the we currently want. Blue doesn't really have anything we want, and Yellow has a ton of useful stats. If they don't redesign how gems work then we won't have any stats we want from red. Stam will be the only desirable stat from Blue. Yellow will have Int, Crit, Haste, and Hit. Hopefully they will move Int to red, and make Mastery a blue gem stat.
This is a new ability that will work through the professions and allow you to modify the stats on your gear and I the sound of it. If I understand the mechanics correctly, we will be able to reduce one stat on our gear to add a little bit of another stat that is not already on the item. For example, if the item currently has stam, int, crit, and hit on it you could reduce the amount of hit on the item and add some haste to it.
This is awesome. This will make managing our caps a whole lot easier. Just think of all the current items with tons of Hit Rating on them. Those items be come more desirable because you can now convert some of the excess hit into a more desirable stat.
Once they first started listing the new racials for Worgen and Goblins I started to get a little jealous.
- Worgen:
- Viciousness - +1% damage
- Dark Flight - +70% run speed for 10 seconds. 3 minute cooldown
- Abberation - Length of Curses and Diseases reduced by 15%.
- Flayer - Skinning skill increased by 15 and allows you to skin faster
- Two Forms - Purely cosmetic
- Goblin:
- Best Deals Anywhere - Always receive the best possible gold discount, regardless of faction.
- Pack Hobgoblin - Calls your personal servant allowing you bank access for 1 min. 30 minute cooldown.
- Better Living Through Chemistry - Increases Alchemy skill by 15
- Rocket Barrage - Launches your belt rockets at an enemy, dealing scaling fire damage. 2 minute cooldown.
- Rocket Jump -Activates your rocket belt to jump forward. 2 minute cooldown.
- Time is Money - Cash in on a 1% increase to attack and casting speed.
The good news is that they plan on revamping the old racials as well. Hopefully they are along these same lines and just as awesome. Otherwise your going to be sing a ton of Worgen and Goblins running around. There would be no reason ont to switch.
Other Changes:
Professions - The big change here is the addition of level stat gains when you craft Rare or Epic items. For example, if you craft a green item it will only give you 1 skill point but crafting a Blue item may give you 2 or 3 skill points. This should make leveling professions easier and less costly. They also said that they are looking to make Gathering Professions and Fishing more fun.
No Spell Ranks - In the future you will only train a spell once and its damage and mana cost will scale with your level. Not earth shattering but nice. We won't have to run all the way back to a trainer when we level up anymore unless we get access to a new key ability. It's not really surprising given how they changed the way mana costs are determined.
Hunters - They will no longer use Mana and will now use a new resource called Focus. It will behave very similarly to Energy. Not a big impact on me since I don't play a hunter, but thought it was big enough that I should mention.
Warlock - The shard system is getting completely revamped. As a part time lock the changes look good to me, but I will leave it up to the real warlocks to really evaluate these changes. Basically, you will only have 3 shards and they will work like the DK rune system. Shards will only be used in combat to enhance spells.

Stonington senior on a roll toward goals
Stonington - Marc Tattersall may have had to use a wheelchair his whole life, but that hasn't stopped him from playing tennis and baseball and skiing down mountains.
That's why those who know him at Stonington High School have no doubt he'll accomplish his next goal after graduation - becoming a cruise ship director.
Tattersall, the son of Liz and Matt Tattersall of Greenhaven Road, was born with spina bifida and has no feeling below his chest.
But at the age of 4, his father had him skiing, first standing up in a brace and then sitting down. Many weekends during the winter, he can be found speeding down the mountains of Vermont.
For the past two seasons, he's managed the high school girls softball and basketball teams, where he charts games and is their "number one fan."
Does Tattersall ever wonder why he can't get out there and run around and play the sports he loves?
"It's who I am. It's what makes me who I am," he said. " I tell my parents all the time that when I have a dream, I'm never in a wheelchair. I'm always standing up and running around."
Caroline Chapman, who coordinates the high school's career center, is close with Tattersall's family and has known him since he was a young child. Most days, Tattersall stops in her office to talk.
"I'm so proud of him," she said. "A lot of kids could have let this tear them apart. But he hasn't. He has goals."
Chapman said from an early age, Tattersall's parents made him responsible for doing chores, feeding pets and other activities.
"His parents raised him not to think he has a disability," she said.
Chapman said Tattersall's inability to walk has also influenced the way he treats others.
"He looks at everyone on an equal playing field. He's nice to everyone," she said. "I think that's because of where he comes from."
Chapman said she calls Tattersall "the mayor."
Tattersall, who has three older sisters, was born and raised in Stonington and also attended Deans Mill and Mystic middle schools.
For the past 10 summers, he's attended Ivan Lendl's Wheelchair Sports Camp in West Hartford, where he competes in tennis, basketball, track and soccer. He has also played baseball in a challenger league in East Lyme.
He said he loves the feeling of being outside, especially the ski slopes.
"I love the whole experience, being out in the cold and then coming in and warming up. That's the best part," he said.
Watching an ESPN documentary about a high school girls basketball team in which a player was injured and in a wheelchair but went on to win a state championship, inspired Tattersall to ask to be part of the team at the high school.
"It clicked. I wanted to be part of that," he said. "It's been a great two years."
He said many of the girls who play basketball also play softball and asked him to join that team as well.
"I don't really have a job," he joked. "I basically sit in the dugout and I'm their number one fan."
Chapman said she is happy to see Tattersall graduate and move on to college, because there were times in his high school career when he was very ill.
"There's no doubt he'll do whatever he sets out to do," she said.
Tattersall said graduation will be a bittersweet moment because he has so many friends still at the school.
"But I want to start the next chapter," he said.
That chapter begins this fall, when he will enroll at Three Rivers Community College to get his associate degree in hotel management.
After that, he plans to apply to Johnson & Wales University in Providence and enroll in its cruise ship management program.
He said his interest in cruise ships comes from his grandparents, who have taken numerous cruises all around the world. He's been on three.
"Being out cruising on the water, the food, the people. Everything about a cruise, I love," he said.
Chapman said she often jokes with Tattersall that when he graduates in a few weeks, he will need to find a replacement.
"Caroline, you know no one can replace me," he tells her.
Few would disagree.
