Rutgers University: Refusal to Allow Christian Clubs to Require Christian Leadership
Category: Freedom of Conscience, Religious Liberty
Schools: Rutgers University – New Brunswick
The InterVarsity Multi-Ethnic Christian Fellowship at Rutgers University was banned from campus because of its rule that "leaders must seek to adhere to biblical standards and belief in all areas of their lives." Rutgers ruled that allowing a religious student group to select its leadership on the basis of religion constituted discrimination. FIRE wrote to the president of Rutgers, to the members of the Board of Trustees and Board of Governors, and to the university's major donors, urging the administration to undo the damage to the Fellowship. FIRE Legal Network attorney David A. French also filed a lawsuit against Rutgers for violating the First Amendment rights of the Fellowship students. Soon after, Rutgers and the Fellowship released a joint statement announcing that they "have amicably resolved any and all issues regarding the status and governance of the fellowship."

Campus Left to Christians, Conservatives: Shut Up!
December 24, 2005
By Mark Tapscott at Townhall.com Scratch many of the administrators in charge on American campuses these days and you often find a neo-Stalinist who has no hesitation about suppressing views that deviate from leftist orthodoxy. If you doubt me, try supporting Christianity or conservatism in a public way in the ivy covered groves of American academe. Take California State University at San Bernadino, for example, where administrators refuse to charter the Christian Students Association because the group thinks its members should be professing Christians. Imagine that! The group 'would not be required to admit members who did not support the […]» Read More
Conformity on campus
December 18, 2004
This fall four new studies of professors' political attitudes showed a large tilt to the left: • Daniel Klein, an economics professor and researcher at Santa Clara University and Stockholm University, surveyed more than 1,000 professors around the United States and found Democrats outnumbering Republicans at least 7-1 in the humanities and social sciences, with departments such as anthropology and sociology coming in at about 30-1. • In a separate study of voter registration records, Mr. Klein found professors at Stanford and the University of California-Berkeley tilted Democratic 9-1. Among younger professors at those two universities the imbalance was even […]» Read More
Survey: many college students fuzzy on first amendment rights
January 1, 2004
PHILADELPHIA — One out of four college students in a nationwide survey was unable to name any of the freedoms protected by the First Amendment, according to a free-speech watchdog group."These survey results are disheartening, but they unfortunately are not surprising," says Alan Charles Kors, president of the nonprofit Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE).Even among campus administrators who were surveyed, from presidents to assistant deans, 11 percent couldn't name any specific First Amendment rights, the survey indicated. And when asked which freedom the amendment addresses first, only 2 percent of the students and 6 percent of the administrators […]» Read More

Brett Eldredge Highlights NHMS Free FanFest
Country singer Brett Eldredge will kick start the SYLVANIA 300 race weekend with a concert during the WOKQ FanFest at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Thursday, Sept. 22 beginning at 5 p.m.
Eldredge's hit song "Raymond" is an emotional tale of a nursing home employee mistaken by a patient with Alzheimer's for her deceased son.
The Atlantic Recording artist has earned a reputation for the strength of his writing and for his world-class voice. He and co-writer Pat McLaughlin landed a song called "I Think I've Had Enough" on Gary Allan's latest album Get Off on the Pain, and one of his frequent collaborators is Country Music Hall of Famer and Grand Ole Opry stalwart Bill Anderson.
Several NASCAR drivers will be on hand for autograph sessions during FanFest. NASCAR Camping World Truck Series stars Justin Lofton, driver of the No. 6 CollegeComplete.com Chevrolet and Brendan Gaughan, driver of the No. 62 South Point Hotel & Casino Toyota will sign autographs for fans beginning at 6:15 p.m. Along with the pole winners for both the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East New Hampshire 125 and the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour New Hampshire 100 immediately following their qualifying runs.
"The Magic Mile" and the New Hampshire Lottery will attempt to break a world record by scratching-off the world's largest instant ticket at 6:30 p.m.
FanFest will also include the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Hauler Parade beginning at 6:30 p.m. This unique opportunity allows fans to see the colorful rigs that bring their favorite driver's car to the track for race weekend.
Eldredge will close out the night with a concert beginning at 8 p.m.
The SYLVANIA 300 weekend is fast approaching and seats are still available. To purchase tickets call the NHMS ticket hotline at (603) 783-4931 or by visiting www.nhms.com.

Graffolution at the Soapstone Gallery
Photos by G.
The Soapstone Gallery in New York has an amazing exhibition currently showing called "Graffolution – The Evolution of Graffiti and Street Art." The exhibit boasts 44 works from artists such as Billi Kid, Matt Siren, The Me Nobody Knows (TMNK), Royce Bannon, Fumero, and more. It's really fantastic. The pieces in the exhibit are extremely affordable too (ranging from $350 – $8,000). The pictures above and below are just a tasty little sample of the coolness you'll see at the Soapstone Gallery, so head on down before August 15, 2010 when "Graffolution" closes. The Soapstone Gallery is located at 11 West 36th Street, 5th Floor in New York. Special thanks to Frankie Velez who gave me so many insights into these wonderful works!
Juan Carlos Pinto made a young Michael Jackson out of NYC Subway Metrocards! Wow!!!

The white EVF-1122D Single 12" 2-Way Full-Range Semi-Outdoor Loudspeaker System from Electro-Voice can be used in a variety of applications where high-quality sound reinforcement is required. It utilizes the high-output DH7N 3" titanium compression driver, coupled with a constant directivity 60° x 60° waveguide. The DVX3121A 12" woofer was developed using FEA optimization for motor, suspension, and electrical design to ensure very low distortion, high efficiency, and maximum intelligibility at high SPL.

Dillon Wins Daytona 500 Pole in No. 3
"Rookie of the Year" Battle Ready To Go
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- It's back -- and in a big way.
With Austin Dillon behind the wheel, the No. 3 Chevrolet made a triumphant return to NASCAR Sprint Cup Series racing during Sunday's time trials for the 56th Daytona 500.
Shrugging off the pressure of driving a car he knew could be a Coors Light Pole winner, Dillon toured 2.5-mile Daytona International Speedway in 45.914 seconds (196.019 mph), locking the No. 3 into the top starting spot in the number's first appearance in the Cup series since Dale Earnhardt died after a last-lap crash in the 2001 Daytona 500.
The Coors Light Pole Award was Dillon's first in 14 attempts and proved the ideal kickoff to his first full-time season in Sprint Cup racing.
Dillon, 23, edged second-place qualifier Martin Truex Jr. (195.852 mph) for the top starting spot, but both drivers are locked into the front row for the Great American Race and will lead their respective fields to green in Thursday night's Budweiser Duel at Daytona 150-lap qualifying races.
Both Dillon's No. 3 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet and Truex's No. 78 Furniture Row Racing Chevy featured Earnhardt Childress Racing power under the hood. The front-row sweep was the perfect present for chief engine builder Danny Lawrence, who celebrated a birthday Sunday.
"We got him a 1-2 start at Daytona, so this is pretty awesome," Dillon said after clinching the pole. "You just try and stay focused, because everyone wants to see this number perform well. That's what my goals are -- to stay focused.
"It's hard to celebrate, because I know this is just qualifying, but it's great for (the team). You never know the next time you'll be standing in this position again. So it's awesome; just want to thank our family back home at RCR. They've done such a good job -- fab shop, engine shop, everybody, my guys.
"It's all them. I hoped I didn't mess it up. We knew we had a fast car, and we brought it back, so it's good."
After Clint Bowyer completed his two-lap run as the 49th and final driver to make an attempt, team owner Richard Childress, Dillon's grandfather, raised a clenched right fist in triumph. Both Childress and Dillon were in Victory Lane when Earnhardt won the Daytona 500 for the only time in 1998.
"We wanted to put on a good show with the 3, and I couldn't be prouder of everybody," Childress said. "(The pressure) is always on when you've got grandsons racing."
Roush Fenway Racing teammates Greg Biffle and Carl Edwards qualified third and fourth, respectively, and will start on the outside of the front row in their respective Duels, which will determine the starting order of positions 3 through 32 in the Daytona 500.
Ryan Newman and Brad Keselowski were fifth and sixth fastest during the time trials.
For the first three quarters of the session, Dale Earnhardt Jr. had the upper hand.
The first driver to make a qualifying attempt, Earnhardt ran 195.211 mph on his money lap -- and waited. One by one, his rivals fired and fell back, until Biffle, the 32nd driver to post a time, cracked the 46-second mark and knocked Earnhardt off the provisional pole.
Earnhardt Jr., the 2004 Daytona 500 winner, wound up seventh.

Please Be generous!
2011 was the Year of Surprises for me. 2012 will be the year of letting God do what He wants with some major letting go going on in my life too. It's hard.
I think for me 2012 will be a year of making boundries. Something I'm not used to doing. I've always been so open, but learning hard lessons from last year that make me think that maybe it's time to set some limits. Happy new year Miss Suzanne, I know you will have an awesome one! P.S. your daughter's painting is amazing!
Love this post...now you got me thinking my friend.
Wishing you a very blessed year...and tell your sweet daughter...she would LOVE Vancouver...if she does make it over this way I will be happy to play MOM!
What school is she look at? Hugs dear one. xoxoxo
Such an interesting post! My sign is Year of the Monkey and I must say my weaknesses as noted aren't too flattering! 2011 was a year filled with unexpected events and a fair bit of stress - something I probably could have handled better. Here's hoping 2012 is a little more calm and holds lots of joy. And I wish all the best to you for an awesome, memorable 2012! xo
Oh Suzanne, I love this post!
I anticipate 2012 to be a year of turning dreaming into doing... and a few other things too. I will be reading this post again and contemplating it through the week. Thank you for your thought-provoking reflections.
All the best to you and your family in the New Year!
Another beautiful post Suzanne. This year is going to be my year of letting go . . . Happy New Year to you all!
I have decided this year my watchword will be "EMBRACE" Embrace the new, view the things I have to do with more enthusiasm. Coincidentally yesterday my daughter and I decided to go and see the Chinese New Year celebrations in Manchester for the first time, we have been meaning to go for years. I am a Dog by the way.
A very Happy New Year to you and yours. Your daughter's painting of the year of the snake is wonderful.
Hi Suzanne,
Happy new year to you.
I was only chatting to a friend the other day and said that 2012 is going to be my year for de-cluttering and simplifying life.
I have been a little busy recently and haven't been blogging or visiting my favourite blogs recently and I hope to get back to routine with this too.
Suzanne, you are a tremendously gifted writer, for your ideas are rich in depth and purpose. What a great read on this relaxed Monday, the day before school begins. I am so blessed to know you, to have spoken to you on three occasions, and let's make this THE YEAR OF CONNECTIONS with other bloggers of like mind and with each other. JULY ???? BRING ON THE CREATIVE CONNECTION in our town!
well let's hear it for the year of possibilities!!
can't wait to see what unfolds for you above on the horizon
Hmmm my placemat for last year would be year of difficult change. Hopefully this year will be the year of pieces falling into place. Love your New Year tradition. Many blessings to you this year.
beautiful post, and a very Happy New Year to you.
I think 2011 would be the year of change for me, and this year i have to keep on acting on those changes and not fall into bad old patterns,
a great new year tradition. i like the year of possibilities. just imagine what they can be. happy new year my friend.
Suzanne, I have reached the age of 49 and a place where I do not chronicle days, weeks, months, or years. It is a happy and content place. I have had many sorrows but that makes these times better and I appreciate them more. Happy New Year, Olive
This is going to be my year of JOY! Finding joy in everything. little or small. Banish the negativity in my life and move past it. I love the possibilities a new year offers. No looking back for me!
Oh, how I love this post Suzanne! Your wisdom always makes me smile and often brings a tear to my eye! That snake picture by your daughter is amazing, she has quite a bright future ahead of her!
The possibilities for you this coming year are limitless!
Happy New Year!
Kat :)
I love this post, Suzanne! The Year of Possibilities! Very thought provoking...and I love Elizabeth's painting, too! I found out I am Year of the Horse. I want to continue in 2012, what I started in 2011...a year of stepping out of my comfort zone~ taking risks and trying new things.
Suzanne, I love this post! Very thought provoking. I love that you have said the Year of Possibilities. Last year was quite stressful for me so I am hoping for a year of calm and joy. I am going to read your post again...it really is wonderful.
I will link up my New Years post a little later today but I also might be back in a few days to link up something new.
Dear friend, I am so hoping we can get together this year. I wish you and your family many, many wonderful blessings including happiness, good health and prosperity and...some delightful surprises. Much love to you. XO
I am excited 2012 is here, so far so good. 2011 I must say was not the best, and I am happy to open a new door to a new year.
Loved this post...and love your reflections and your thoughts, you expressed yourself so well and I particularly felt your emotion when you spoke of letting go of your daughter as she nears graduation (always a bittersweet deal)! My "baby" will be right behind her graduating in 2014 :( Enjoying every moment until then!
I am thinking this year will be the year of doing. For me personally, I want to see to it that I actually achieve some of the things I have dreamt of, longed to do and aspired to do but for whatever reason haven't done. This is my year. Heres to lifes best for everyone in 2012!! Another wonderful post.
Hello lovely friend, the very first thing I did early this morning was read this post, and I am just now getting back to comment and join your party :)
Oh I love Chinese New Years!! My first baby was born in the Year of the Tiger also (your boy too, I believe?) so apparently the three of you are "Dynamic and dramatic, filled with passion and daring, spontaneous and lively."!!! (according to my guide) I'm The Year of the Boar - "Having a taste for indulgence and luxury, but doesn't always handle money well."
Happy new year to you and your beautiful family, Suzanne. Wishing all of you The Year of Health and Joy along with being the Year of Possibilities!!
i want it to be a year of forgiving, and this is also going to be the year of zipping it. as in shutting my mouth more often to become a better listener and life learner and friend. it's not that i'm overbearing offline, but i do feel the need to fill up silences that i shouldn't. probably a year of less blogging. lord knows i have written enough and been to the ends of the internet enough for a lifetime. there is nothing wrong with quiet, stillness, and the listening ear.
beautiful thoughts shared here today, suzanne.
love to you.
Happy New Year Suzanne,
You are always able to say in perfect words exactly what I'm feeling. I feel so good after I read your posts because I have a much better understanding of what I feel yet struggle to say myself.
2011 was also a year of letting go for me. We had some struggles around here and it's taken me almost the whole year to accept and let go of hurt, expectations and my own selfish wants. Better late than never though I suppose.
2012 is going to be the year of achieving. There's so many things I have on my want-to-accomplish list and after having those dreams for so long, I'm going to go after them. I know I will feel good at least attempting to accomplish them.
I wish you happiness and peace . . . It has been such a pleasure visiting you this past year.
xo Sarah
Oh Suzanne! I can always count on you for exquisite food-for-thought.....what a wonderful excercise to suggest......
....I think I'll take this on while I'm on my run tomorrow (it'll take my mind off this (as my mom puts it) colder-than-a-coal-miner's-butt-in-the-Klondikes weather, mm!) ; )
Thanks again, Suzanne, for yet another rich, wonderful offering here.....
Happy new year full of possibilities and the possibility of possibilities! : ),
p.s. I got your note about changing my status so I can receive replys and me being the technology dinasaur that I am --even with the link you generously provided -- have not gotten around to it yet, but I will, I promise! : )
wouldn't it just figure
that mine is the pig?!
i think
that for me
this year
will be one of prayer
for i must get back into
a prayerful routine
and get down on my knees
more regularly and thoroughly
for my family and friends.
Your daughter is such a talented artist...that snake was quite impressive! And now I have a craving for some Chinese food. I need to sit and ponder what 2012 will represent for me. You always have that affect on me when I come and read your posts Suzanne. You always help me quiet myself and focus on your thought provoking questions. Happy New Year my friend! xo ~Lili
oh missed you friend. i am back as well..if ever so slowly
this post made me sad..not quite sure why
maybe it is the song;) and the painful awareness of times passing and how fleeting life is and my fear that some of the healing my heart longs to see may not happen.
i know i can't control that...still
anyway--your post is beautiful and deep. i love you for that. now off to see what animal i am. i forget;) happy Tuesday
Awesome post...I love the way your mind ponders many things as you connect with your daily activities...so many things in our walk COULD be thought provoking if we would allow....and not be so busy in the urgent. :-) Our year of 2010 was our Year of Hope that God would bring change in Kurt's career journey, and HE did..2011 was dubbed our year of Jubilee that after many months of work and prayer and waiting, that the time would come to see fulfilment and finality in the path to be together again. As God made all the pieces start locking back together in our life puzzle after it got tossed in 2006 when Kurt lost his work...we began to see and feel the big picture appearing. Our story was being rewoven. And here this year of 2012 we are calling it our family year of Gratitude...for ALL that He has done, both the hard and the wonderful. MY "personal quest" is for 2012 to be my year of INTENTION in everything I pursue. No drifting through days with no plan or purpose to accomplish something before the sun sets. This will be WORK for me if I truly keep it DAILY! Loved your post. thanks so much for making us "ponder" bloggy sis. Hugs to you! Stay Warm!!!
Happy New Year , dear Suzanne ! I would like the new year to be called The Year of Possibility . In fact, I believe every year brings new promises. I will name mine The year of Artistry as I want to master my skills to live in a present moment and create my own life. No bad , even ambitious :)
Thank you for the endless inspiration!
Oh, I am a Rooster - I can awaken people to get up in the morning :)
Enjoy the hew day !
As always your post nails it right on the head!
I am the year of the Rat...Bitsy is the year of the Rabbit.
It's always fun to see how close they fall to our actual personalities.
Hmm...2012 will be the year of....growth.
Growing in my new role as a stay at home mom, as my role as Bitsy's Mom, as my role as a Military wife. I have so much to adjust to and learn from and grow into this year! It's going to be a blessed year.
I wish you a Blessed 2012 too!
I just love that your posts always make me stop and think, evaluate, re-evaluate and leave me inspired.
Now that I think about it...2011 was a year of extremes.
Entering 2012, no specific goals came to mind, but a calm that I'm where I'm supposed to be. So, I'm going to just go with the flow and take it all in. Worry less (I'm the year of the sheep, so no surprise) and enjoy more.
Love that you're having your talented daughter paint you a version of the painting I highlighted today. You'll have to share it when it's complete!!
Here's to an amazing year - full of possibilities!
xoxo Elizabeth
What a fabulous heartfelt post. I found you through the lovely Lisa at Shine Your Light.
I hope this is a year of accomplishment on many levels.
Thanks for making me think about this.
Oh Sweetheart. What a gorgeous, thought-provoking post. As usual. 2012 will be my year of simplifying - see here (http://www.homelifesimplified.com.au/52-weeks-to-simplify-your-life-challenge/) if you're interested. It could overlap with your year of possibilities, I think. Looking forward to sharing this bloggy caper with you again this year, Lovely. J x
wishing you much love and many possibilities this new year! ah, letting go, that's something i need to learn.....thank you for being you suzanne, you're special! xo susan
as always, such a lovely post. i hope that this is the year of organization for me. i need openness and peacefulness, and i'm afraid my clutter is stealing that.
i also hope that is the year of Grace... a year to discover true grace, true, unconditional love for all... forgiveness and loss of expectations.
Happy New Year Suzanne. Wow! Now that's some deep thinking. My brain just doesn't work like that. And beautiful writing. My Chinese Zodiac is the Year of the Horse. The first sentence of its description certainly fits me at this point in my life: The spirit of the horse is recognized to be the Chinese people's ethos – making unremitting efforts to improve themselves. When I was 12, a friend and I used to sit in her closet typing up the book we were going to write on horses -- we collected pictures, anything with horses on it, and even horse hair we would find snagged on fences around pastures where horses were kept. Your daughter's snake painting is really good. Hope you are having a good week. Best wishes, Tammy
P.S. I would like 2012 to be the Year of Order for me. I have got to purge, organize, simplify. :) Tammy
I'm liking the year of possibilities...we are going for it this year in business...so far so good...Ha it's only January 5th. Just another thought...I wish you had your Grandmother's cart! XO, Mona
I think I will call this the year of new life. My fourth grandchild will be born in the year of the dragon. Soon I hope to be inspired enough to link up with your Monday moments...we'll see how things go. Wishing you a happy New Year Suzanne!
Such a great post to read Suzanne, and one that has really got me thinking. The year of possibilities - I love the sound of this, and can't wait to see where you let this take you. Your online shop sounds like a great place to start! Happy 2012 my friend. I always love tuning in to your wisdom.

Oil 101: Choosing the Right Oil… Just Facts, No Friction
Royal Purple Offers Simple Solutions When Choosing The Right Oil For Your Vehicle
Porter, TX- Many people don't know how to select motor oil that will help them get optimum performance out of their car. People often just select the oil their father used, or they may take the suggestion of a counter person at an auto parts store who may not know any more about cars than they do.
There are meaningful differences in motor oils and choosing the right one can have a major impact on how well your car runs. Selecting the right oil is often the quickest and cheapest way to improve your car's performance and reliability. Two components determine how well motor oil will perform in your car. One factor is the base oil, and the other is the combination of chemicals (additives) that are added to the base oil.
Base oils
The two primary types of base oils used are mineral and synthetic. Mineral oils are by-products of refined crude oil. Refining helps reduces the impurities but leaves molecules of all shapes and sizes. Synthetic oils are manmade compounds whose molecules are all the same size and shape; consequently, synthetic oil has a less friction and performs significantly better than mineral oils.
What to choose
The easiest way to select motor oil is to follow the good, better best model:
GOOD ? Mineral-based (regular) motor oils. These are the cheapest and most widely available oils. They typically use standard additive packages that provide minimum levels of performance and protection.
BETTER ? Synthetic motor oils. These man-made oils are more expensive that mineral-based oils but are still widely available. Their performance advantages come predominantly from the synthetic base oil used. They have a longer service life and offer some improvements in protection.
BEST ? High-performance synthetic motor oils. These motor oils are the most technologically advanced oils. Although they significantly outperform mineral based or synthetic motor oils, they are about the same price as standard synthetic motor oil. They are typically only available through auto parts stores and select oil change centers. These oils primarily differ in their uses of more advanced, proprietary additive technologies.
Regardless of the base oil used, chemicals must be added to give motor oil the characteristics needed to do its job. Typical additives that may be added to base oil include detergents to reduce the formation of residue, defoamants, to deter absorption of air, anti-wear agents, antioxidants and others.
Although additives are typically only 15 to 25 percent of the make up of motor oil, they can impact a lubricant's performance much more than the base oil. For instance, mineral based motor oil with a very good additive package can easily outperform synthetic motor oil with a mediocre additive package.
There is no easy way for a consumer to determine the quality of motor oil's additive package. Price is often an indicator of quality since the more advanced additive technologies cost more to produce. Performance is the ultimate measure of additive package quality.
Advances in lubrication
Some of the biggest technological advances in lubrication are now coming through advancements in chemical additives. Royal Purple has developed lubricants that outperform both leading mineral oils and other synthetics. Their oil has been proven in numerous independent tests to dramatically reduce engine wear, increase horsepower and torque, and reduce fuel consumption and emissions. Cars using their oils can also go further between oil changes, saving the owner time and money, and reducing the impact on the environment. Information about independent tests conducted on their products is available at www.royalpurple.com
About Royal Purple
Royal Purple produces a broad line of high performance lubricants for automotive, consumer and industrial applications. For more information on Royal Purple or its products, contact Royal Purple Inc., One Royal Purple Lane, Porter, TX 77365, 281-354-8600, www.royalpurple.com

Massachusetts-based Safety Research & Strategies recently sent a request to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to require "born-on" dates for passenger car tires and included an analysis of 50 crashes involving older tires. SRS President Sean Kane said rubber can begin to degrade after six years even if the tires have never been used.
It turns out most passenger vehicle tires already have a date stamped on them. The date is a small tag placed in the mold and it is formed into the tire sidewall when cured. These usually have the week of manufacture and the year (although some manufacturers might use weeks based on a fiscal year).
We called on the Firestone Ag Tire factory in DesMoines, IA, to find out if tractor tires are handled in a similar way. Here is engineer Jay Wheeler's response:
Firestone stamps manufacture dates on farm tires too (right now we are in week 45 so you will see the number 4504). We also code the tires with the particular curing press and side, if dual cavity, but that means nothing to the consumer.
All rubber is subject to ozone depletion, and that produces cracking. Any old tractor tire will show this. Part of what happens is when a tire is new the protective oils in the rubber work out to the surface to ward off the ozone. On a tractor (or any tire) that stands idle in the sun long enough, this gets worn away and the degradation is accelerated.
Rubber does harden up over time. One of our field engineers notes a higher-than-normal adjustments rate for farmers who take their brand new tires out to "bush hog" a rough piece of ground. The supple new rubber is more sensitive to puncture and damage than its grizzled old counterpart.

Edythe Abdullah, O'Neal Douglas, Tom Foran, Steve Halverson, Wanyonyi Kendrick, Kevin Twomey
Carol Thompson, Judith Solano
Chair Twomey called the meeting to order and asked for a motion to approve the minutes. The motion was offered by Trustee Kendrick, seconded and approved unanimously.
Vice President Shuman presented an update on the PECO submission and provided documents outlining the revisions from last year's list. She stated that this was a record year for PECO funds with an expectation of about $20 million.
President Delaney stated that the projects on the proposed PECO list could over time be reprioritized, in keeping with the prospects for funding over the next five years.
Trustee Kendrick asked if PECO funds would be used for any pending projects in the Athletics Department. Vice President Shuman stated that PECO funds were not being used for any projects currently listed in the Master Plan for the Athletics Department. These projects would be funded with CITF funds.
Trustee Douglas moved in favor of the changes to the proposed PECO submissions to the full Board. The motion was seconded and passed unanimously.
Vice President Shuman introduced this item, stating that Vice President Owen would be seeking clarification on the legal definition and monetary limits of the Capital Outlay Plan.
Trustee Thompson asked if all funds currently listed in the Annual Capital Outlay Plan would be used. Vice President Shuman stated that Plan was accurate and all funds would be spent as defined by the Plan. President Delaney added that these funds may not be exhausted by the end of the next fiscal year but the existing encumbrances would stand.
Trustee Foran asked if the Student Government projects were included in the Annual Capital Outlay Plan. Vice President Shuman stated that these projects were included.
Trustee Kendrick moved in favor of recommending the Annual Capital Outlay Plan to the full Board. The motion was seconded and passed unanimously.
Vice President Shuman stated that the Educational Plant Survey was required by the Department of Education. The intended purpose of this survey was to document the use of PECO funds and provide an outline for these funds for the next five years. This Plan requires the Board of Trustees' approval prior to submission to the Board of Governors.
Trustee Halverson moved in favor of the Educational Plant Survey's submissions to the full Board. The motion was seconded and passed unanimously.
E&G Budget: There were no follow-up questions regarding the E&G budget.
Financial Aid: A discussion commenced regarding need-based and merit-based financial aid. Ms. Janice Nowak referenced the meeting materials, directing the Committee to a chart that provided a break down of merit-based and need-base financial aid. She stated that 49 percent of these funds were provided to need-based students and 31 percent was provided to merit-based students. Further clarification was presented, delineating that the majority of need-based funds come from government allocations and merit-based funds most often come from institutional initiatives and private support.
This discussion focused on Florida Bright Futures. President Delaney stated that Florida Bright Futures recipients may also qualify for need-based funds.
Chair Twomey requested clarification on need-based scholarships and the intent of the institution to attract the best and brightest students. Ms. Nowak stated that some portion of the financial need among need-based students remains unfunded.
Trustee Taylor requested clarification regarding graduate students and undergraduate students and their receipt of financial aid. He stated that graduate students were statistically borrowing more money at higher rates. Vice President Serwatka stated that the majority of financial aid was granted to undergraduate students.
Vice President Shuman stated that the handout on Auxiliary Budgets was updated slightly, with the biggest change being the reserves. She provided a worksheet outlining these changes.
Chair Twomey requested clarification on UNF Foundation funding for the Fine Arts Center (FAC). President Delaney stated that the FAC would become more involved in fundraising. He included that the FAC was currently under evaluation, seeking more streamline operating standards.
Vice President Shuman stated that the Auxiliary Budget included reserves directed to future housing structures and parking facilities.
Vice President Serwatka addressed Sponsored Research's trust funds, stating that these funds needed to be encumbered for such circumstances as penalty funds and latent funding. Dr. Serwatka included that there had been several occurrences where the Federal Government had delayed funding certain projects and these projects were often temporarily funded through reserves.
Vice President Shuman stated that, upon approval from this Committee, there would be a 5 percent increase for all levels of tuition recommended to the full Board. This was the amount approved by the Florida Legislature for in-state undergraduate students. Often tuition could be increased even higher if an institution chose to do so.
Vice President Shuman clarified this figure, stating that there were three pools of tuition – out-of-state, in-state undergraduate and in-state graduate. As originally budgeted, this increase would include out-of-state and graduate tuitions. Some Board members thought that it would not include increases for out-of-state and graduate students.
Based on the need for further clarity, Chair Twomey asked that no action by this Committee be taken on this item at this time. He charged the administration with the task of creating a summery to be presented to the full Board.
Chair Twomey stated that this fiscal year's budget process had been more precise and acknowledged a good job by all involved.
President Delaney added a footnote to the meeting, stating that Dr. Marty Khan had agreed to assist Edward Waters College establish the framework for an internal auditing process. He would be providing these services on a part-time basis until the College could employ a permanent internal auditor.

David Eastman has left prison after his conviction for the 1989 murder of Australian Federal Police assistant commissioner Colin Winchester was quashed.
But whether he faces a new trial, as recommended by the full bench of the ACT Supreme Court on Friday, is up to prosecutors.
Eastman, 68, had served 19 years of a life sentence after being convicted in 1996 of Mr Winchester's murder.
He was driven from the Alexander Maconochie Centre shortly before 6pm, avoiding waiting reporters.
The court agreed that Eastman should not remain in jail for the time being and ordered his release on bail subject to a number of conditions.
They include him residing at a nominated address and agreeing not to contact a list of 300 people who may be involved in a new trial.
Prosecutors did not oppose the bail application.
In delivering the court's decision on Friday, Justice Steven Rares said there had been a substantial failure at Eastman's original trial and it would be an affront to justice to let the conviction stand.
However there remained a strong circumstantial case against Eastman and a new trial would not be unfair, he said.
"The community has a vital interest in ensuring that a person against whom a strong circumstantial case for murder of a very senior police officer exists does not escape having a jury decide whether or not he is guilty of that crime."
Prosecutors have been told to consider any new evidence unearthed by an earlier judicial inquiry into the case.
They have also been asked to consider whether a re-trial would be fair and in the public interest.
Eastman's supporters say a fair hearing will be difficult because some witnesses who were not cross-examined at the first trial had since died.
The Winchester family has decided to make no public comment about the decision.
However, the ACT Victims of Crime Commissioner John Hinchey said the court's decision was distressing for them.
"This is another day of mourning for the Winchester family," he said.
ACT Attorney-General Simon Corbell, who confirmed Eastman's release from prison, said he was deeply conscious of the ongoing concern and distress being experienced by the family.
"Today's developments will not be welcome by them and my thoughts are with them," he told reporters.
Mr Winchester, the most senior policeman to be murdered in Australia, was shot dead at his Canberra home on the night of January 10, 1989.
The killer calmly fired two shots into the policeman's head at close range as Mr Winchester sat in his car.
Although there was speculation it was an organised crime hit, police charged Eastman, a former Treasury official with a personality disorder and a grievance against police.
Earlier this year, an inquiry into the trial concluded there had been a miscarriage of justice and recommended Eastman be freed.

The disappointing new games made me reinstall W.L.O. in inner protest... They were just too dull and short. (latter is true for shukufuku) And not a single, memorable funny moment in sight! Majikoi S had more, by gosh. I'll comfort myself with a little replay of my most favorite game from Akabeisoft.
Take note, Studio Ryokucha, that's how one transforms a ridiculous premise into a powerful commentary of "pure love". With also better laughs, natch.

All in all, the e-mote system is still a bit clunky because it's script line-based, but I agree that it's pretty good for a sort of first generation attempt (though of course OreImo and Haganai PSP used this sort of system before).
Anyway, looking forward to receiving my copy of the game in the mail soon... maybe next week.

From what I saw on a video a while ago, the anime-like feeling seems to be getting used to. I felt similar about it when I had started playing Dracu Riot with its character animations (mostly eye movements).
With another month of 2-3 VNs that looks nicely and other material I find randomly, my HDD space on my laptop is running dangerously low
*cough* Anyway: I'm looking forward to the next extra scenario patch for Hatsukoi 1/1. I loved Maya's what if very much. For me the "true way" of how her route should have ended . And now it's Kyou's turn. I had nothing much to complain about her route as it was the most harmless one, so her extra patch is likely more icha-icha and ecchi.
In my mini-step progression of Walkure Romanze I've reached Celia's confessions scene and it had a beautiful set up atmosphere and vibe.
And I have still Period and its english fan patch left to try + a handful other on-going VNs with no definite order or "top priority" to continue.

Can anyone who plays AXL games show a link to an old post or write about their more recent products? I seem to have neglected their games since kashicom, and I would like to know if they continued in the vein of Yuzu-soft consistency or Lump of Sugar decline for me. I believe kashicom hadn't really impressed me as their preceding games, which was why I stopped.

While the majority of people seems to be reading Witch's Garden or Kurano-kunchi no Futago Jijou (for the imouto lovers), i have been reading Aete Mushisuru Kimi to no Mirai as the first game of this month instead.
Spoiler for impressions after finishing あえて無視するキミとの未来:
Off to read Witch's Garden, eventhough i am was never that much hyped for it eventhough i did try the trial.

Something to consider next year then. It's occurred to me that although I personally found the AXL games I read good, none of them had ever had fandiscs. I guess the market over there doesn't like it?
Another question to all of you: Does it bother you that in a game that has a "true"/unlockable final route, the girl you like least is the heroine? It goes without saying that one shouldn't just judge entire stories on the way a character has been portrayed throughout, but I found it bracing nonetheless, since it makes me CTRL-skip my way through the "couple" moments if I really don't appreciate the character.

Nevertheless i would still continue reading it, because that story might answer some questions or reveal something important that connects to the other routes. Or you can hope that the main heroine will get better in her own route

The games I've played with a true route had either the girl make an appearance in the final route or they were quite likeable. Example for case 1: Lunaris Filia, Sevens. The "secret" character showed up for a very, very short time on yours 2nd playthrough+, but the meat of the story = true route. Similar for Kamigakari Cross Heart (which was for 99 % light-hearted, though ).
Example 2: I think more common à la Suzukaze (<3), and other whirlpool-VNs that are not Lunaris Filia and Sevens. Or Ryuukou no Melodia which's true route is a rare 2-girl harem
The only case where the "true route" could have been better romance-wise was Concerto Note. It just didn't "click" for me as with other cases. And the horrible Grand Ending of Kamidere and its harem end. I consider it still as a poor excuse to add one h-scene for the sub girls + group-up.
Long story short: Overall, I consider myself fortunate that 99 % of the true routes where you end up with a girl, were done well enough. Obviously it helps that I'm easy to satisfy VN-wise and try hard to stick within my genres non-darkish, (gory/bloody) VNs .

Started playing Witch's Garden and while it's indeed quite light-hearted I started to notice a few "uneasier" start-ups. Suzuno's mother is giving off bad vibes (still common route) during the one scene she has shortly appeared .

I just finished both parts of Monster Girl Quest (also called Mon-Musu Quest) last night, and I have to honestly say that
On the surface it's about a boy named Luka aspiring to be a hero and fighting all sorts of monster girls, getting raped, eaten, or both at the same time if he loses. Not the most pleasing-sounding adventure, and definitely not the easiest game to sell to other people. It's also a low-budget work, so the art quality ranges from very nice to sometimes disturbingly terrible. The game's also only voiced in certain H-scenes, but thankfully the whole work has been translated to english, which is how I played the game. The actual RPG combat is very minimal in its depth. There's not a lot of skills, items and inventory don't matter, and the battles at the very end of the game get pretty trivial, with the last battle being ridiculously easy if you know what to do (which isn't hard to figure out). And like I mentioned earlier the monster-girls range from sexy and awesome:
to downright disturbing (in both look and art quality):
And there's a lot of these highly disturbing monsters raping Luka, often eating him in the process. So technically it's also vore, but thankfully very light vore as there are no graphical depictions of his body melting and whatnot. Additionally there is no visual depiction of blood in this game period. Which I was pretty surprised at, considering how terrifying some of these monsters look. Thankfully the one in the first image (the sexy one) is the heroine and she's the one you look at on screen most of the time, so thank goodness for that.
I also wish that most of the monster antagonists you meet in the game weren't so one-dimensional. It sometimes feels like they're either intelligent people you can hold conversations with and relate to, or seemingly mindless beasts with only man rape in their minds, with not much variety in-between.
So I've written all this about how the game is lacking in some areas or can be disturbing in other areas. So why do I still think this is the greatest thing since chocolate? Because of the awesome plot. And it's wonderful character development. And the surprisingly deep discussions into racism between humans and monsters. The very funny humor, clever writing and almost flawless story progression is also great, but I think the one best, greatest thing in this game is the relationship between our hero, Luka, and the mysterious monster girl he meets at the beginning of the game, Alice. From the moment these two meet the two characters have such amazing chemistry together, and the two change and grow over the story. Despite being from such opposing worlds, one a human aspiring to be a hero who fights against monsters, and the other an actual monster, the two overcome their differences, come to support each other, and learn how much alike they really are, in spite of all the cross-species racism that's depicted in the story.
The story and character development of this game puts so many higher-budget professional visual novels to such shame it's pitiful. Monster Girl Quest is simply put amazing, and if you can get yourself past the monster girl and the hero getting raped if he loses battles aspect, you'll also see how wonderful this game really is on the inside.
EDIT: I forgot to mention but the music in this game is pretty decent too.

Finished Misumi and Ririko's route in Witch Garden. Both routes are mandatory in order to unlock the remaing ones, althrough Misumi's only needed for a a single one . Of the side cast Marcia's just incredibly cute. Her favorite word is "suteki" so expect to hear it very often.
I'll start with Ririko's because she was the first I completed: Her route was for me wonderful because the initial relation between Yousuke and her was just harmonic. And once the pre-confession "drama" was over, the step-up to lovers made them even more inseperable. The in-game phrase of "The two should be seen as one" or something along that line explained it perfectly. I think the english idiomtic expression is something like "The two are one item"? The finale of her route was very atmospheric (then again I found also Erina's "ultimate" drama in Dracu-Riot emotionally good, so take it with a grain of salt ).
Misumi: From the start of her route until the confession it felt that nothing really happened romance-wise. I guess in exchange they decided to give a stronger focus to Eclaire warming up to Yousuke while keeping her bad mouth *lol*.
Spoiler for Eclaire:
Once the romance went full-throttle her dere-dere side was lethal. Her short final drama about Eclaire was kept rather brief. Her route wasn't so much about the romance between Yousuke and she (though their rabu-rabu and icha-icha moments were strong), but also strongly connected to Misumi-Yousuke-Eclaire in a thank-goodness love-triangle-free way.
And yet, I have still no definite clue what's the mystery about Ayari
My in-progress playing order: Ririko > Misumi > Eclaire >Suzuno > Ayari. Why? Those who might already have looked at some walkthroughs may see my reason behind it.
Edit: Finished Suzuno's route and phew... it was story-intensive. Again, it was strange how a few important parts of her route were not so much about her herself, but this time about Ayari. You'll receive some major plot information about Ayari by the end. Her romance part was quite as lethal as Misumi's and Suzuno's character development both with Yousuke and Ayari was very nice.
Currently in the midst of Airi's route and the learnt details of Suzuno's route appeared here obviously again. The uneasyness that occured was sad given their prior "progress".

I'd forgotten to mention that I'd had a collection of games by Alcot (and Alcot HoneyComb) shipped last month, and I'd just finished the last and latest, nakahito.
All in all, the games I got were aneiro, poco a poco. onigokko and its fandisc, 1/2 summer and nakahito.
Aneiro and poco a poco were dare I say it, too "generic". I experienced the same problem with it as rhapsody - there was creative magic lacking to it. Sure there were funny parts, but it didn't really click. Latter had some decent music though.
Now onigokko, whoo boy it gave me faith once more in the company, not since osadai. The game is great, though the story kinda doesn't really sit well with me in that the "true" heroine is so unlikable. (a point I made just recently) There are however, strong "couple" moments, very likable characters, memorable music and solid comedy. Its fandisc was decent, a bit disappointing in showcases for H, but I'm not expecting anything more from a fandisc. (Why'd they even shoehorn that little sister route in when it was vastly inferior to the main routes)
1/2 summer was intriguing from the start, and was quite decent with comedy, however the story kind of doesn't make sense once one gets into the heroine routes: the main drive of the plot from the common route simply disappears into generic heroine eroge route. I'd expected more from the alternate universe element, but it just wasn't there (save for 1 route). But I've gotta give Alcot credit here as with onigokko, very endearing music - it almost makes me pine for a soundtrack (does it exist?)
Holding high hopes, I then played the latest for last, the superhero swarmed nakahito. While the premise was as intriguing as 1/2 summer and was supposed to have the same elements as onigokko, the game itself fell flat, once more losing the "spark" I expected that was present in the above two games. Comedy was abundant - to my shame I understood most of the otaku appealing jokes - but playing through was like prospecting futilely for gold, hoping to find even a tiny morsel, only to find none. It was so disappointing, I rushed through the last girl's route and promptly uninstalled the game, doomed to my box of "wasted money" games.
This leads me to wonder: are there varying production staff for each of Alcot's games? It seems their qualities rise and fall with the years. (or the seasons) It may have something to do with writers, or the staff, or both.

So yeah, basically... I think buying by brand isn't necessarily going to be any sort of guarantee. You pretty much have to play the trials to see if you like the story. There are some brands that have certain key elements that are generally common through all their works, but even that isn't always the case. In this day and age, it's also inescapably true that some brands are churning out works faster than ever because they're living from game-to-game, so that increases the variability of the output too. Not all brands can afford to be like August -- years between releases but extreme consistency in terms of their products (to the point that some have accused them of being too consistent and repetitive ).
