Sometimes the best intentions go awry.
Last evening I was worried that the rain and chill would be harmful to my new little dove friend so I brought the cage inside and covered it with an old tablecloth like we used to do for the kids' parakeet at night. It was doing well, I thought. There was evidence that it had tried eating since there was birdseed scattered about the floor of the cage and some bird poop there as well indicating it was "evacuating" in a healthy way. All good.
I said good night to the pretty white dove and went to bed anticipating seeing it well and happy in the morning. Alas, it must have been sicker than I thought or injured in some way I didn't realize.
When I came downstairs this morning I called out a "good morning, little bird!" and pulled the cover off the cage and I saw he was dead.
I never really used to get emotional about some animals deaths. My dogs, yes! Definitely. Some of the cats but not the barn cats since that was the natural order of things there. Cattle came and went as did some other farm animals and you learn not to get emotionally attached. You can't as it is a business as well as a lifestyle. Too much involvement would make you nuts.
Yesterday was a really bad day up until I found the pretty white dove. I drove the three hours home from D.'s house in Rochester after spending an entire week with him to come home to take care of all the details of my other life, the one where I take care of this big old farm and am going through a divorce. I hate leaving him. I feel so alone when I walk into that cold, empty house of mine.
Later that day my STBE (Soon-to-be-Ex) got in a yelling match with me in the parking lot of our building in town when he informed me that he was reneging on our agreement regarding some of the financial arrangements we'd made. I told him I'd had enough and would see him in court. Actually I yelled that at him as I spun the tires out of the parking lot in my Subaru (NOT an easy thing to do with an 8-year-old Forester!)
I went home feeling like sh*t and that's when I found my little dove. Holding that dove felt good and nurturing and I liked that .
I am sad.
I guess it wasn't my good luck sign. It wasn't good luck for the bird, that's for sure. Maybe I shouldn't have tried to care for it at all since so much sucks in my life right now.
Poor dove.

Well, here I am. Another Christmas done in about 2o minutes, and another year soon to close behind me.
I am working on a poem that I will post later. It is hard to share. It is also long and annoying, I'm sure…
Things are not so great right now. I have been very sad. The holidays, well, they have been here. I am kind of skating around the edges. I miss my Dad. I miss my loved ones who are not with me. A lot of times, I seem to miss myself. I just don't know what happened and and how I lost me. I am trying to find that person again. I am just going through the phase where I feel like a shell of the person I used to be and trying to get that right again. I just don't feel like I'm doing anything right. Or even close to it.
Sorry to be a downer. I'm just glad to have a blog. Not many will see this; the few that will are going to care enough to send me a message to keep my chin up. I am trying, my peeps. It is so hard and so, well, unfathomable to me to do so right now. This Christmas has been so very hard and so sad. I don't know what is wrong. There are just so many people that are gone from my life now that it is hard to cope.
I am grateful for what I have left. I love my pets. They are a blessing. I sound like the crazy cat lady but who give a shit?
I am just sad. Sorry all.

1995 Napa Ridge Pinot Noir
($7): The '94 Napa Ridge hit a high QPR mark with its big, simple fruit and silky texture. The '95 is just a shadow of the '94 and the extra two years of bottle age have not been kind. It's worth sipping while you pour it into a sauce though.

1. Priorities and activities to be funded
1.1. Priorities
The priority of this restricted call for proposals for action grants is to support the setting up or reinforcing of national consultation processes in the Member States, through National Roma Platforms convened and managed by National Roma Contact Points (NRCPs).
NRCPs were appointed by Member States, in line with the EU Framework for National Roma Integration Strategies up to 2020 (http://ec.europa.eu/justice/discrimination/files/roma_nationalcontactpoints_en.pdf) to coordinate the development and implementation of the National Roma Integration Strategy, or integrated sets of policy measures within their broader social inclusion policies (thereafter: NRIS).
The Council Recommendation on effective Roma integration measures in the Member States confirms that NRCPs should facilitate the participation and involvement of Roma civil society in the implementation of NRIS and local action plans. The National Roma Platforms will contribute decisively to this process.
The National Roma Platforms are expected to encourage and facilitate dialogue and exchanges, promote mutual learning, cooperation and involvement in implementation and monitoring between all national stakeholders. Inclusion of Roma people, in particular Roma women and youth, in the Platform is strongly encouraged.
The objectives of the Platforms are:
1.2. Description of the activities
This call will fund activities supporting active partnership between stakeholders in the development, implementation and monitoring of the National Roma Integration Strategies or integrated sets of policy measures in the Member States.
Member States using Commission support under the previous calls (JUST/2015/RDIS/AG/NRP2 and REC-RDIS-NRCP-AG-2016) to set up National Roma Platforms should set out how they intend to maintain and develop them.
Proposals of Member States that have not applied for support under the above mentioned previous call shall present the methodology to be used for the setting up or reinforcing and restructuring of National Roma Platforms, by inclusive and transparent involvement of all relevant stakeholders with a focus on implementation and monitoring of National Roma Integration Strategies and integrated set of measures, and for the implementation of their activities.
The National Roma Platforms should not be considered as one-off events or conferences but as an ongoing, joint process in which all relevant stakeholders work closely together towards better integration of Roma.
Activities should support nationally led participatory multi-stakeholder processes of working meetings aimed at strengthening partnership across all levels, including government authorities, regional and local authorities, civil society organisations, including Roma youth and Roma women organisations, private sector, academia, etc. The use of participatory methodologies, including with the help of professional facilitators, is encouraged.
Activities may include meetings and events at national, regional or local levels of National Roma Platforms, including their preparation, organisation and follow-up activities.
The following concrete activities might be included in the proposal:
Activities aimed at making stakeholder participation effective, including the identification of stakeholders, capacity building actions, integration of their inputs in shaping policies relevant to Roma integration;
Working meetings aiming at ensuring proper communication with all stakeholders;
Activities focusing on empowerment and participation of Roma youth and women organisations;
Organization of an opening "Kick Off" meeting with participation of all relevant stakeholders (with balanced geographical coverage) in order to explain the process as well as the Member State's approach towards Roma integration;
Organization of topical discussions/focused group discussions/good practices working meetings, notably on
Activities aimed at facilitating dialogue between Roma and non-Roma communities and local authorities to explain the mutual benefits of Roma integration measures for both communities.
The following types of activities will not be funded by the Commission:
This call focuses on national activities and transnational activities are not supported (e.g. travel costs abroad are not supported).
1.3. Expected results
increased number of the national Platforms seen as an integral component of the coordination and monitoring activities of the NRCPs to foster the process for dialogue, cooperation and coordination of stakeholders;
increased capacity of national experts to address issues related to Roma integration;
strengthened cooperation and exchange of information between competent national authorities in relation to Roma integration;
improved knowledge on the legislation and administrative practices related to Roma integration.

PRESIDENT'S REPORT: The President was unable to attend the meeting. PROVOST'S REPORT: The Provost discussed budgetary issues and indicated that UF will probably receive a modest increase from the state legislature. The increase, however, will be in total number of dollars and will probably result in less disposable income. The Provost anticipates that part of the increase will go for salaries, three percent on average, effective January 1, 1996. In combination with several other factors, this could result in a cut in disposable income of around eight-million dollars. This is approximately two percent of an overall state budget of 400 million dollars. The Provost discussed two methods to accomplish the cuts. The first would be on an across the board basis. The alternative would be to target special areas and cut programs that are at high risk for being cut by the legislature. The Provost feels this would be a preemptive strike and could result in a reduction in the percent of across the board cuts. The Provost feels that the university needs to begin developing long term plans for simultaneously decreasing expenditures and increasing revenues. He discussed ways to increase revenues such as a computer-use fee for students. The Provost would like to have a great deal of debate and discussion on this topic so that faculty, staff and students may have ample opportunity to express their opinions. To allow for discussion of budgetary issues, the Provost will meet with the Academic Advisory Committee and the University Senate Steering Committee over the summer. The Provost would also like to meet with a group students over the summer. ACTION ITEM(S): Jonathan Earle, chair of the Senate Nominating Committee, presented the nominees for committee service for the academic year 1995-96. The ballots and accompanying biographical information were distributed and collected by members of the University Senate Steering Committee. No additional nominations were submitted from the floor. The votes will be tabulated by members of the Steering Committee. INFORMATION ITEM(S): Hal Rennert, chair of the University Senate Steering Committee, reported on the recent meeting of the Advisory Council of Faculty Senates (ACFS). The ACFS is composed of representatives from each of the SUS institutions who help direct input from the faculty to the Chancellor of the Board of Regents (BOR). Dr. Rennert discussed a preliminary proposal from the ACFS to allow an SUS faculty member to sit on the BOR. The members of the Steering Committee will discuss this issue over the summer and present it as an information item at the September Senate meeting. Barbara Talmadge, University Registrar, discussed telephone registration and answered several questions about new policies and procedures. Ms. Talmadge thanked the administration and Student Government for their support of the system. Keith Carodine, Associate Athletic Director, presented a report on the University Athletic Association (UAA). Dr. Carodine discussed the academic progress and achievements of student athletes and their participation in special community programs. Paul Gibbs, the new director of UF's Office of International Studies and Programs and Peter Hartman, director of International Programs for IFAS, discussed educational exchange programs and program development in their respective offices. EXECUTIVE SESSION: Jack Ohanian, chair of the Honorary Degree Committee, moved to approve an honorary degree candidate. The motion was seconded and approved unanimously. CONVERSATION WITH THE PRESIDENT/PROVOST: None.

Overall, the University of Florida on its campuses throughout the state grew from 25,000 students in 1989-90 to just over 26,500 FTE students in 1992-94. The head count numbers reached over 39,000 in this last year. This is a growth of over 1,500 FTE students. For a mature campus, a 5 to 6 percent growth in students brings an increase in the demand for services and academic programs. The University of Florida met this demand in spite of the financial difficulties felt by every university from the decline in state support per student Degrees Awarded at All Levels The University of Florida's principal instructional product is degrees at all levels (undergraduate, masters, professional, doctoral, and Ph.D.). This chart illustrates that in spite of all the financial difficulties, the number of degrees awarded by the university increased dramatically during this period. A 17 percent increase in degree productivity during this time of declining financial resources shows an institutional commitment to enrolled students to help them succeed effectively and efficiently in the face of sudden budget readjustments.

Similar charts reflect this phenomenon at the other nine public universities reporting to the Board of Regents. The dramatic decline from fiscal 1990 to 1993 hit the institutions most severely. The 1993-94 budget restored a significant portion of the lost revenue. It did not recover to the levels of fiscal 1990 or meet the extra costs of a growing student population. It also ignored the steady inflation that raised all university costs in this period. The universities met this challenge through internal readjustments for efficiency and through a delay in the renovation of teaching materials, equipment, and other academic resources. General Revenue and Lottery Expenditures per Student FTE The combination of a rising student population and a declining state budget produces this chart. Here the decline of fiscal years 1990 to 1992 and the marginal recovery of fiscal 1993 and 1994 show clearly. The dollars recovered, thanks to a strong effort by the legislature, nonetheless barely restored a fraction of the reduced level of support from the earlier years. While this small per-student recovery came as welcome support, it still left the institutions below any reasonable level of continuing support per student. The dollars per student shown here permit the continuation of programs but not the maintenance of quality over time.

This research brings dollars and enterprise into the state far in excess of any cost the state incurs in generating the research. Sponsored research expenditures is the only reliable national indicator of research accomplishment and is widely used to rank total university research capability. The University of Florida's growth in sponsored research expenditures is not only remarkable but especially so considering the decreasing proportion of faculty time spent on research. Non-State Dollars Earned for Each State Dollar Spent Universities are generators of wealth and prosperity for all who contribute to their support. One measure of this is the total non-state dollars earned by the university compared to the dollars invested by the state. First-rank research universities often have about one-third of their budget provided by state funds and two-thirds provided from earned income (grants, contracts, endowment, gifts, tuition, fees, auxiliaries, and other sources). At the University of Florida we have increased the percentage of our activities funded from earned dollars as the chart at the left shows At 2.24 dollars earned for every state dollar spent we are at almost 70% earned dollars.

The university shifted faculty effort into teaching. As more faculty teach more courses and more students, the number of credit hours delivered by the ranked faculty increases and the number delivered by others (primarily teaching assistants) declines.

The unit, person years, is an artifact that allows the university to determine, in the aggregate, how faculty spend their time on the various functions of the university. This chart illustrates that the faculty spend more of their effort on teaching and advising and less on research. Even with the reduction in effort on research, however, the faculty of the University of Florida increased their research productivity. The university will work to reduce the effort on administration and service in the coming budget years. Percentage Change in Expenditures from State and Non-State Sources This chart shows the importance of clinical fees in the support of the academic medical center which could not function without the transfer of health care provider earnings into education and research. Private funds come mostly from gifts and various other small grants not related to research. Tuition has grown with the increase in the number of students and small increases in tuition.. Sponsored research has grown as has the revenue from auxiliaries such as residence halls. The general revenue and lottery increases represent the state's effort to cover enrollment growth. Trust funds, Federal and County Extension dollars and Local and DSO funds declined in response to changes in federal programs and reductions from sales of agricultural products produced by the university. % 3 2% 7% 12% 17 3% -3% 2% 7% 12% 17% I "' 1991-92 1992-93 1993-94 ATTACHMENT 2 UNIVERSITY OF ^FLORIDA College of Health Related Professions Health Science Center Office of the Dean PO Box 100185 Gainesville FL 32610-0185 April 6, 1995 TEL: 904/392-2631 FAX: 904/392-6529 Keith Legg, Ph.D. Director, Honors Program Chairman, University Curriculum Committee 352 Little Hall Campus Dear Dr. Legg: I understand a petition to change the name of a college must first be approved by our Committee. I am writing to request that your Committee approve changing the name of the College of Health Related Professions. The changes in the health delivery system during the last decade have been dramatic. Changes in the delivery of health care have significant implications for the education of health professionals. Although the broad swatch of change makes it difficult to single out any particular sector, the growth and changes in scope of the health workforce have been particularly noticeable. The tremendous growth in the health sector has created many occupations and expanded the scope of practice of existing health professions. The University of Florida was the first university to establish a unique college to address the diverse educational needs of health professions. In 1958 the University of Florida established the College of Health Related Professions. Many other universities quickly followed the lead of the University of Florida establishing similar programs. The name of the College reflected the belief that the professions included in the College were related to the dominant health profession-medicine. Over the last 36 years, the roles and scope of practice of the professions included in the College of Health Related Professions have grown. The professions included in the College are now autonomous professions, no longer dependent on medicine. As new colleges including the professions in our program have been established, the independence of the professions has been recognized. A more appropriate name, Health Professions, has often been used. Indeed, this name has been used in the Florida University System. Pending appropriate University approval, we plan to change the name of our College to the College of Health Professions. This change has the support of the faculty, students, and department chairs within the College. The Health Center Council Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Institution Dr. Keith Legg April 6, 1995 Page Two unanimously approved the change. Dr. Challoner and Dr. Sorensen have expressed support as well. I also spoke with Dean Bird, because of the common use of the term health. He supports this change. We have discussed the name change with Mrs. Darrel Mase, widow of the founding dean of the College and she concurs with this change. In addition, we discussed the change with Dean Emeritus, Richard Gutekunst, who also concurred. The faculty and students of our College are excited about the opportunities for our professions. Adaption of a more contemporary name for the College is appropriate to the challenges ahead. I look forward to hearing this request has been approved. Sincerely, Robert G.

Given the issues you raised, and the alternatives available, I concurred with all other Health Center deans that the proposed change to "College of Health Professions" was appropriate.. Nursing, of course, is a health profession, and some of our faculty have raised questions about possible confusion with any single college having a name as global as "health professions." However, after discussion, I believe the College of Nursing faculty can (and do) accept the proposed name change. Clearly, we have no better alternative to put forward. Thus, I support your proposed change to the College of Health Professions. Best wishes as you proceed with the name change process.

Neims on November 8, 1994. However, it apparently did not proceed on through the appropriate channels to achieve our goal. We are therefore requesting your assistance in achieving a name change for our Department. As you know, the title of "Immunology" was dropped from the "old" Department of Immunology and Medical Microbiology. That department's name has officially been changed to "Molecular Genetics and Microbiology." Inasmuch as the immunology program of the College has moved to Pathology, we request that our Department's name be changed to Department of Pathology, Immunology, and Laboratory Medicine. We understand this request must first go to the UF Curriculum Committee, and after their approval, the request will be sent on to the UF Senate for their final approval. Please note, at the November 7, 1994, monthly Faculty Meeting, Pathology's faculty voted unanimously to approve this name change. If there is any further input required from our office in accomplishing this name change, please let us know. We are anxious to obtain this official change in order to properly advertise the Department's curriculum choices. Thank you. Kind regards, Noel K.

General Education requirements will consist of 36 hours. These hours must be distributed across four categories or knowledge areas. A. University Foundations (9 hours) 3 hours composition 6 hours mathematics B. Humanities (9 hours) Includes current categories of Historical and Philosophical and Literature and the Arts C. Social and Behavioral Sciences (9 hours) D. Physical and Biological Sciences (9 hours) E. In addition, 1. At least six (6) of the specified 36 hours of general education must also have an international or diversity focus. 2. A student may elect to vary the hours in categories B, C, D (Humanities, Social and Behavioral Sciences, Physical and Biological Sciences) within the constraints of no less than six (6) and no more than twelve (12) hours in each category and a constant total of twenty-seven (27) hours across the three categories. 3. The student must meet a writing requirement of 12 hours. Credit for the University Foundation/Composition course will constitute 3 hours and the remaining requirement can be met by any courses that meet the Gordon Rule writing requirement. 4. Foreign Languages at the 2000 level and above will meet the international and diversity requirement and will be countable toward the General Education requirements if they also qualify under one of the other areas, i.e., Humanities, Social and Behavioral Sciences, Physical and Biological Sciences. 5. The General Education Requirements may be exempted with course credit through AP credits, IB courses, or dual enrollment courses. Additional exemption possibilities will be considered such as scores on SATII exams and will be proposed when deemed appropriate by relevant faculty. F. Colleges and departments are urged to identify existing courses with international and diversity content and to develop new courses in the various disciplines that could satisfy the international and diversity requirement. ATTACHMENT 5 Resolution of the Advisory Council of Faculty Senates (ACFS) February 24, 1995 Tallahassee, Florida The faculty of the State University System (SUS) of Florida desire representation on the Board of Regents (BOR) as a member with voice and vote. Until that is achieved, the faculty of the SUS of Florida request that a representative of the ACFS be included on each BOR agenda. Rationale: Faculty should participate in policy discussion, debate and decisions that affect higher education in Florida. Participation of faculty is important in matters and issues such as (1) tenure and promotion, (2) evaluation, (3) awards for excellence, (4) curriculum policy and curricular structure, (5) requirements for degrees and granting of degrees, (6) policies for recruitment, admission and retention of students, (7) the development, curtailment, discontinuance, or reorganization of academic programs, (8) grading policies, and (9) other matters of academic concern. Although faculty are a significant part of the educational system, they have no direct input to BOR policy formulation. Faculty are profoundly affected by BOR policies, since these relate to the performance of their jobs and the evaluation of that performance. At present, students hold a seat on the BOR. Further, each geographic area of the state is represented and university administration has a recognized presence. While the faculty may attend BOR meetings by virtue of the Sunshine Law, they are not represented by a faculty member on the BOR. "While the UFF, as the elected bargaining agent, retains the exclusive right to negotiate and reach agreement on terms and conditions of employment for members of the bargaining unit, and the BOR retains its rights, under law, to manage and direct the SUS,...[i]t is desirable that ... [faculty] will have a mechanism and procedure, independent of the collective bargaining process, for making recommendations... ." (Preamble UFF/BOR Collective Bargaining Agreement, 1991-1994, page 1.) It is within the spirit of this language that the above resolution is proposed. Query: FLSTAT:193sec240.2071 240.207 Board of Regents; appointment of members; qualifications and terms of office.d& (1) The Board of Regents shall consist of the Commissioner of Education and 12 citizens of this state who shall be selected from the state at large, representative of the geographical areas of the state; who shall have been residents and citizens thereof for a period of at least 10 years prior to their appointment (one of whom shall be a member registered as a full-time student in the State University System and who shall have been a resident of this state for at least 5 years prior to appointment in lieu of the 10 years required of other members); and who shall be appointed by the Governor, approved by three members of the Cabinet, and confirmed by the Senate. However, no appointee shall take office until after his appointment has been approved by three members of the Cabinet. The State Board of Education shall develop rules and procedures for review and approval of the appointees. Except for the Commissioner of Education and except for the full-time student member, who shall serve for 1 year, the terms of office for the members of the Board of Regents shall be 6 years and until their successors are appointed and qualified, except in case of an appointment to fill a vacancy, in which case the appointment shall be for the unexpired term, and except as in this section otherwise provided. No member shall be selected from any county to serve with any other member from the same county, except that not more than two members may be selected from a county which has a population in excess of 900,000, and with the exceptions of the student member, who shall be selected at large, and the Commissioner of Education. The Governor shall fill all vacancies, subject to the above approval and confirmation, that may at any time occur on the board. (2) Members may be removed for cause at any time upon the concurrence of a majority of the members of the State Board of Education. (3) To create an orderly succession of Regents and the appointment of two Regents each year, one additional Regent shall be appointed in 1991 to serve a 69year term, and one additional Regent shall be appointed in 1992 to serve a 64year term. For the four seats with terms ending in 1993, the Governor shall make one appointment for a 3ayear term and two appointments for regular 69year terms. For 1 year, from January 1992 to January 1993, there shall be a total of 15 Regents. All the members of the Board of Regents serving on May 3, 1991, shall complete their regular terms, as prescribed by the Secretary of State.

Controversy over whether or not the USA ought to permit on-line poker sites to work have targeted mostly on the validity of whether or not poker sites square measure rigged . The questionable processes, algorithms and laptop generated poker hands lend credence to the very fact that it should not be attainable to fairly institute a real game of poker on-line. this text explores however associate degree yankee on-line poker web site will avoid the rigged pokersite perplexity.
While some players can cheat at poker on-line to win, the larger downside isn\'t found therein truth alone. a fair larger threat to any poker player is that the incontrovertible fact that the house is also cheating moreover. Players WHO have had too several suckouts in on-line poker can believe that the pokersite is rigged moreover. After all, since all on-line poker sites use code for his or her random range generators, it\'s attainable that the fairness within the game may be altered by a pokerroom while not the information of the players or maybe the governance in their jurisdiction.
For this reason, each player ought to cautiously approach {the on-line|the web|the net} games because the chance associate degreed propensity for an yankee online poker web site to be rigged may be a real truth. However, even once there square measure applied mathematics anomalies which will indicate mounted net poker, there\'s continuously a chance to avoid and overcome a rigged pokersite.
Since the pokersites swear entirely on poker code to shuffle and deal cards, supported mathematical formulas, it\'s attainable to defeat those formulas if there\'s cheating. it\'s a incontrovertible fact that a laptop is unable to actually disarrange a deck of cards and deal factually random poker hands. The hands dealt square measure strained among the parameters of the arithmetic of the RNG and associated algorithms.
While several players can beyond any doubt adhere to the yankee on-line poker sites rigged theorem, the fact is that the sites don\'t seem to be purposely rigging their games the maximum amount because the public would believe, the reality is that so as to deal associate degree effectually random game, the poker sites arrange to keep among sure parameters to seem random, this so results over and over in poker dangerous beats.
