How to reconcile traditional publishing and e-publishing?
Dossier by La Rédaction INAGLOBAL • Published 12.10.2009 • Updated 12.10.2009
The dematerialization of information, normally thought to be a phenomenon opposing traditional media, may prove to be a true engine of innovation or regeneration.
Database journalism| Digital Tech | Article | Caroline GOULARD | 08.10.10 | For a public increasingly distrustful of traditional media, database journalism has emerged in recent years as a new way of processing and spreading massive amounts of information in clear-cut, visual fashion.

Punjab youths highjack bus, arrestedAugust 23rd, 2011 - 5:57 pm ICT by IANS
Shimla, Aug 23 (IANS) Nine youths from Punjab on a holiday in Himachal Pradesh were Tuesday arrested for intimidating locals and hijacking a tourist bus of Gujarat, police said. However, no one was injured.
"Before hijacking the bus, the accused had a scuffle with the locals. Initial investigations suggest that the accused hijacked the bus on the pretext of escaping from the spot," a police officer told IANS.
More than 22 tourists, including 10 children, were aboard the bus when it was highjacked from Khajjiar, 475 km from here. The accused later took it to Chamba district, he said.
Confirming the incident, Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal said: "Police have arrested the accused and are investigating the matter."

Each of us will have had certain moments in our lives when we have seen or experienced something that left us utterly speechless. Life transforming moments. Moments when we glimpse, as through a glass darkly, a grandeur in nature that no science -- no words -- can adequately describe. For me, one of those moments was a display of the aurora borealis that I witnessed from northern Indiana in the early 1960s when the whole night sky went wild with psychedelic lights. Another was my first total solar eclipse, observed from a ship in the Black Sea. And another was when I visited the Chincua monarch butterfly refuge in the mountains of central Mexico. I described the latter experience in my book The Path. Twenty million gorgeous black and yellow butterflies wintering in a tiny patch of fir trees, as thick as leaves. When the sun broke through the clouds they all took flight, a great fluttering cloud of color that hid the sky. Twenty million butterflies that had gathered there from all over eastern North America, guided by that ineffable, ineluctable agency of genes I spoke of yesterday.
Now, for the first time, conservation agencies in Mexico, the United States and Canada have joined forces to help preserve the Mexican refuges and the milkweed meadows throughout the continent upon which the monarch larvae feed. It may be a hopeless task. That the monarchs in their milling glory might vanish from the Earth is a thought too sad to be endured.

On the eve of St. Patrick's day, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) is urging all Nebraskans to celebrate safely and if alcohol is a part of the party-please designate a non-drinking driver prior to the celebration, never serve to anyone under 21 and drinking underage is a crime.
"The Luck of the Irish" will not be enough to protect you should you encounter an impaired driver, but all of us can play our part in preventing needless deaths and injuries by making the simple decision to designate an non-drinking driver and always wear your safety belt. Special holiday outings can take a tragic turn if people choose to drink and drive. Law enforcement provides a crucial check and balance during high-risk holidays. On the 17th, you drive drunk there is a good chance your luck will runout as law enforcement will be on high-alert.
In 2009, alcohol-related traffic crashes claimed the lives of 78 people in Nebraska and more than 3,000 injuries and countless personal property damages.
Nationwide, there were 137,000 alcohol-related traffic deaths – that is the equivalent of a 747 jet going down once week every week of the year. Alcohol-related deaths and injuries are 100 percent preventable and personal responsibility will go a long way towards ensuring that our friends and family arrive alive.
MADD is also calling on all restaurant and bar owners to practice responsible beverage service practices by declining alcohol service to persons who are not of legal drinking age, cutting off alcohol service to guests and patrons that are impaired, and providing alternate transportation for those guests who chose to celebrate St. Paddy's Day with alcohol.
MADD recommends that adults designate a sober driver before celebrations begin and that might involve calling a taxi. #TAXI® (Poundtaxi) is a taxi service that supports MADD's mission. By dialing #TAXI (#-8-2-9-4) on any mobile phone, callers will be connected to the first available or preferred taxicab company in their local calling area. Callers don't even need to know the name of a cab company and the service helps avoid busy signals at peak times. #TAXI is available for $1.25 to $1.79 per call, depending on the wireless carrier and takes no money from taxi companies. #TAXI makes it easy to get home safely.
Between now and March 31, #TAXI is offering consumers an opportunity to help themselves and MADD. By registering their mobile phone number, consumers will have a chance to win one of three $100 taxi vouchers. In addition, once registered, #TAXI will donate fifty cents ($0.50), up to $10,000, the first time a registered mobile phone calls the service.

Even the most dedicated of Android fans might not have heard of Xiaomi (pronounced show-me) until it was announced that Hugo Barra, a key figure in Android at Google, was leaving the company to join Xiaomi as head of international expansion. The hire was a statement of intent – the likes of Samsung and LG should perhaps take notice of this Chinese company that is selling millions of devices in their home country.
There are two particularly interesting facets to Xiaomi's phone business. The first is that they don't just make flagship devices like the Mi4 we are looking at here – they also make a number of lower spec devices that sell at extremely low prices. They typically sell out very fast indeed in China and other emerging markets that Xiaomi distribute in such as India. The second is that although the Xiaomi phones are Android devices, they don't run a normal version of Android with Google apps, they run a customised version called MIUI, which although based on AOSP, has a completely different set of apps and look and feel.
What we have here is the new pinnacle of the range, the new flagship, the Mi4. It might be cheap at CN¥1,999 (~£200) for the 16GB version, but it certainly does not skimp on specs – it's up there with the very best of them, packing a top spec Qualcomm 801 2.5GHz CPU, 3GB RAM, 5" IPS screen, AC WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, dual high resolution cameras… you're left wanting for little. It's fair to say that on some Chinese devices in the past when the specs are high you've paid the price in build quality, but again, that couldn't be further from the truth on the Mi4. The edge of the device is machined from stainless steel in the style of the Galaxy Alpha, contributing to a feel in the hand that is even better than Samsung's latest effort.
MIUI, Xiaomi's take on Android, has taken a fair bit of criticism for being 'inspired' by the design of iOS and really, some of the criticism is justified, MIUI6 does feel at points very similar in design to iOS 7. To call it a copy though doesn't do it justice and it misses out on the fact that MIUI is actually very good. MIUI provides all the base features of Android KitKat AOSP, enhanced with custom apps for permissions, security, updating, root access and much more. Despite first appearing as a 'dumbed down' take on Android, the opposite is actually true.
The Mi4 ships with MIUI 5 out of the box, which is the current stable release. MIUI 6 is currently under development however, and is downloadable to flash should you wish to try it out. We have been running it for a while with no problems, which is impressive in itself.
We mentioned that MIUI devices ship without Google services installed… how much of a problem is this? In theory – huge, in reality – it isn't at all. The Xiaomi app store ('Mi Market'), includes a freely downloadable app that installs the Google Services and the Play Store. Quick and easy, if somewhat legally dubious.
If you want a Mi4 today, you'll need to import it personally, so it's very much a niche choice, until such time as Xiaomi are ready for a real European presence. But if you do so, the experience is very rewarding. Top class hardware, unusual but enjoyable software (with weekly updates of the developer ROM for the hackers amongst us) and a thriving community of users.
It's not easy to find negatives about the device except around potential warranty issues should something go wrong (you'd likely have to return the device to China). If you're not sure that the MIUI Android experience is for you, you can likely find a MIUI 5 ROM for your existing device to get a taster for the OS.

I looked into Historical plates for the 1975 270. South Dakota is $15.00 for life. BUT, can only be driven to the gas station, mechanic, parades or events. No limit on mileage. Figure camping is an event?
Anywho.. I sent in my check the first week of Feb 2016. After 3 weeks of waiting, I called as the state usually cashes my checks within 3 days. Got bounced around quite a bit and ended up talking to the person who actually HAD my application in their hand. They informed me that RVs were NOT registratable as Historical (30+ years).. Only Trucks, Cars and Motorcycles. They will be sending my check back..
I am now planning on spending the $250 for the annual re-up on the Travco at the Treasurers Office downtown.. Ugh.. The lines..
Go home for lunch today and shabam! Fancy new Historical plates for my 1975 TRA270 in my mailbox!
Guess they wanted my money ASAP. I'm gonna slap these on when I get home tonight. Giddy with excitement. No more registration fees for the 270. Ever. Period.
I fall within the guidelines of usage anyway. I am either on my way to the gas station or to an event out of town.
This.. Is.. Awesome..

Discordianism, Dinkoism are all new religions, as if the world didn't have enough of religions! (Pffff)
The goddess of the so called new religion is the sweetly named Eris Discordian or commonly called, Bitch. The bible of Discordianism is Principia Discordia. Discordianism is centered on the idea that both chaos and order are illusions forced upon on the universe by the human nervous system, which particularly means neither would be true or real objectively
(Some confusing shit right? Pretty intense, I'd say.)
This is a little of discordianism just to raise the crazy drives and lemme try connecting this to dinkan worship or dinkoism, got some more of patience left??
Dinkan is an avatar of Mayavi, the true God!!!! (Om Dinkanaaya namaha!!)
*blows some stupid dust into thin air*
*coughs* *sneezes*
So where was I???
Yea, Dinkan God, is everywhere watching you!!
Keep calmly chaotic and praise Dinkan
Dinkan, according to the faith of the worshippers, is the saviour of the world, appearing from nowhere to protect everyone, particularly children. Once abducted by aliens, who gave him his superpowers, Lord Dinkan is just about anywhere and anytime the needy, well, need him! (see how omnipresent he is..) He flies, he fights, he comforts. And if you had any doubts about his supremacy, beware: he wears his red underwear over his tight-fitting yellow costume that shows rippling biceps; not to forget the flowing red cape (he is equivalent to Superman, who has a red underwear too over his costume with a red cape flowing behind him)
Give up the ghost thought if you have a regular comic book character in mind!!!
Dinkan is no flying monster or a burrito!! He is someone beyond a super human, a super taco, he is a super fliying rat!!!!
*everybody stand up*
All hail to Dikan, Dinkaluyeah!!!
(bow stupid people, BOW), Put your dumb heads down and pay your respect, morons!!)
Do you think this is a parody?? If so, 'No Thank You, Pleasure's All Mine' because it is after all a parody!!
Balamangalam found only in Kerala is the Holy Book of Dinkoism. The holy book has slogans like,
Dinkan will protect the children!
Dinkan will protect the youth!
Dinkan will protect the elderly!
*rolls closed eyes*
Come believers; let us praise the Almighty Dinkan rat!!!!
On the floor with folded legs, let's praise him:

A pristine cake rises from a symphony of blooms in notes of pink, white, and yellow.
Against white fondant, a wreath of flowers -- among them, fringed nerines and primula in pink, tiny yellow kalanchoe, and papery sweet peas -- is even more glorious. The cake base rests within a ring of floral foam; space in between keeps the flowers from touching the icing. The top tier is Styrofoam, providing support for the weighty bouquet. Freesia, roses, and the bouquet's trailing ribbon embellish the cake's lower tiers.

HOUGHTON, Mich. – The Michigan Tech hockey team ran into a hot goaltender Friday night, falling 3-2 to Ferris State to open the annual Winter Carnival series. Bulldog goaltender Justin Kapelmaster had 39 saves to lift the visiting team to the victory.
"We did the things we needed to do, for the most part, tonight," Tech coach Mel Pearson said. "We're having trouble scoring. Things aren't going in as easy as they were early in the season. Until they start going in, we have to play rock solid defensively. Giving up three goals at home is just too many.
"No one's feeling sorry for us. We need to continue on, play better defensively, and maybe get a lucky goal to open the flood gates."
Down 2-0 entering the second period, Alex Smith cut the margin to one with his sixth of the season. Gavin Gould setup Smith for a one timer 63 seconds into the period after FSU was whistled for a too many men on the ice penalty six seconds before. Joel L'Esperance picked up the secondary assist.
Tyler Andrew gave the visitors their two-goal lead back late in the second, putting in a rebound after a shot by Jacob Hetz with 1:51 on the clock. Cameron Clarke was also credited with an assist.
Mark Auk brought the Huskies back to within one, scoring his third of the season 11:28 into the third. Chris Gerrie carried the puck into the zone and dropped it back to Auk. A Bulldog defender screened Kapelmaster out front, and Auk capitalized to make it 3-2.
The Huskies pressured throughout the third period, taking 16 shots on goal. Alex Gillies was alone in front of the net midway through the period but was too patient to get a quality shot off. Reid Sturos also had a couple chances in front of the net but couldn't jam the puck in.
Corey Mackin opened the game's scoring 2:19 after the initial puck drop with Jared VanWormer and Cameron Clarke assisting.
VanWormer scored the Bulldogs' second goal on the power play 17:51 into the game from Gerald Mayhew and Joe Rutkowski.
Tech outshot FSU 41-19. Angus Redmond had 16 saves for the Huskies, including a penalty shot save on a shot by Mayhew with 6:05 left in the second period. Kapelmaster had 14 saves in the first, 10 in the second, and 15 in the third.
"I think we weren't doing a good job getting in front of him (Kapelmaster)," senior captain Cliff Watson said. "He was seeing a lot of pucks tonight, and he scrambled well when he needed to. We just need to bear down a little bit when we have our scoring chances."
Tech fell to 16-12-7 overall and 13-6-6-3 in the WCHA. Ferris improved to 10-16-4 overall and 9-11-3-2 in league play.
"We take a lot of pride in our defense," said Watson. "It's frustrating when that's not working. We just have to get back to the simple things and make the basic plays."
Pearson added, "We've got to find a way to salvage the weekend. We need to stay positive and be ready to go tomorrow."
Before the game Tech held a moment of silence for Jeff Sauer who passed away late last week. Sauer's association with the WCHA spanned six decades, including a 31-year tenure as Wisconsin's head coach where he won two national championships and a league-record 665 games. He spent the last 14 years with the WCHA office, and was inducted into the USA Hockey Hall of Fame in 2014.
State Representative Scott Dianda was on hand to drop a ceremonial first puck for the second Winter Carnival in a row. Dianda, a native of Calumet, was reelected to represent Michigan's 110th House District in November. He serves Baraga, Gogebic, Houghton, Iron, Keweenaw, and Ontonagon counties, as well as Powell and Ishpeming Townships in Marquette County.
The two teams are back on the ice Saturday (Feb. 11) to wrap-up their only meeting of the season. Puck drop is set for 5:07 p.m. at the John MacInnes Student Ice Arena.
The MacInnes Cup will be awarded after Saturday's game to the team that scores the most goals on the weekend. A Winter Carnival MVP will also be named.

The purpose of the 38 semester-hour Master of Arts (Social Justice) degree program is to give students an opportunity to reflect on social justice as a central concern of contemporary Christian theologies. This program should interest many students, but in particular those who want to prepare for or continue to work within non-profit organizations that address justice issues in society, some of which are connected with churches or religious organizations; and those who have retired from professional life and are seeking ways to enhance their Sunday School education and to discover direction for a renewed sense of service and outreach to larger communities.
Program Goals
Upon completing the MA (Social Justice) program, students will be able to:
Act as responsible biblical interpreters critically informed by attention to the theme of justice in both testaments and in current historical, literary and theological scholarship in the field of biblical studies.
Attend to the continuing importance of events, texts and practices of church history and contemporary cross culture studies through the lenses of oppression, liberation, and reconciliation.
Articulate perspectives on issues and topics in the area of public theology and ethics, informed by methods such as feminist/womanist, liberationist, process, and post-colonial models attentive to the theme of justice.
Demonstrate an ability to conduct and evaluate advanced research by producing an integrative paper in which the student engages in critical reflection on a religious and/or cultural issue, or set of issues, that has emerged in her or his course work with relevant methods and materials as articulated in the previous goals; or a project in the launch course that includes critical reflection on a religious and/or cultural issue, or set of issues, that has emerged in her or his course work with relevant methods and materials as articulated in the previous goals.
Review the course offerings, or visit the Phillips Catalog. Request more information on this program. Or please contact MaryAnn Morris by email or telephone 918.270.6464.
For most denominations, the MA (Social Justice), standing alone, does not include either a sufficient number of hours or an adequate emphasis on ministerial formation and practice to meet the requirements for denominational certification or ordination. In addition, the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada (ATS) has determined that this degree is designed for the academic study of theology and religion and not primarily for preparation for ministry.

INDIANAPOLIS - - The Orioles are expected to take the next step in their wooing of free-agent pitcher and Cuban defector Aroldis Chapman next week when international scouting director John Stockstill travels to Houston to meet with the pitcher's agents, Alan and Randy Hendricks.
Stockstill and Orioles president of baseball operations Andy MacPhail also met with the Hendricks brothers Tuesday, the second day of the winter meetings. It was the Orioles' first extensive opportunity to express their interest to the Hendricks brothers, who became Chapman's agents after the pitcher left Edwin Mejia last month.
"They are sort of starting and collecting the information for themselves at this point," MacPhail said. "I think that process has sort of restarted. They're just starting to get their feet on the ground. They kind of have to get up to speed."

Camarillo is a city in Ventura County, California.
Get in[edit]
Camarillo is served by more and more frequent Amtrak and Metrolink Commuter Rail service from San Diego, Orange County, Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley to the south and San Luis Obispo to the north. The station is located at the intersection of Lewis Road and Ventura Road at one end of Old Town. The From here, you are not far from many eateries, a wonderful Saturday morning farmer's market and the famous Camarillo Premium Outlets. Several destinations, including the train station and the Camarillo Premium Outlets, are served by VISTA inter-city bus routes. Most people, however, will chose to drive and that is very easy, given that Camarillo is right on the US 101 Freeway. Camarillo Airport (CMA/KCMA) is a major general aviation hub.
Get around[edit]
Camarillo has the CAT (Camarillo Area Transit) bus service. The fixed routes are limited, but they have a dail-a-ride service that will pick you up and take you anywhere in the city for $2. That said, a car, or bicycle, are the only practical ways to get around. Walking Camarillo's wide boulevards is nice if you want to experience the city that was rated number 2 in the world for weather, the clean air and numerous parks, but you won't get very far in the spread-out city.

Drink[edit][add listing]
Camarillo is generally a suburban bedroom community and what bar scene there is is generally dominated by locals. Chuy's Restaurant is probably your best bet with The Clubhouse also an option. Don't even bother with the lone nightclub in Camarillo which has gone through multiple name changes and is still unpopular with anyone over 22.

Walworth, J NON-VOTING MEMBERS PRESENT: NON-VOTING MEMBERS ABSENT: Scholle, M. - President, UAFSC Hayes, J. - President, ASUAF Alexander, V. - Dean, SFOS Graduate student Hedahl, G. - Dean, CLA Tremarello, A - Director, A&R B. The minutes to Meeting #58 (September 18, 1995) were approved as distributed via e-mail. C. The agenda was approved as distributed via e-mail. II Status of Chancellor's Office Actions A. Motions approved: none B. Motions pending: none III Comments from Chancellor Wadlow - 1) Chancellor Wadlow thanked everyone involved in the successful accreditation team visit, especially in the preparation of the material (Dana Thomas). 2) Wadlow just returned from a 9 day trip as part of a 20 member U.S. delegation to Viet Nam. One of the focuses was to identify the needs and opportunities for educational training. The country is very busy, very ambitious and very hospitable. It is also a very confusing country. In addition to attempting to introduce a market economy, they are restructuring. They are restructuring higher education by consolidating their universities into two systems. They are also restructuring government. At the same time they are trying to build an infrastructure which will enable them to become an "Economic Tiger" of the Far East. The Chancellor attended the opening of the Viet Nam Fulbright Center. The largest Fulbright program in the world at the present is in Viet Nam. A new center which was jointly financed by the Fulbright foundation and the Viet Nam government was dedicated while she was there. Under the leadership of the Harvard Institute for International Development, it conducts training sessions for executives which lasts at least a semester and sometimes a year. They also conduct training session for mid-level management. This is similar to the pattern in Taiwan that existed in the late '80s. Secondly, at the University of Technology, which will soon become part of one of the two major reorganized universities, there were two areas of great emphasis: mathematics and petroleum engineering. 3) Chancellor Wadlow commented on the Dean search for the College of Rural Alaska. Last spring when the chair of the CRA faculty council approached her about making permanent the executive deanship position, she indicated that there would need to be an appropriate search. That council had a difference recommendation, nonetheless, she decided it was important for UAF to have an appropriate process for selecting a permanent person in this position. An internal recruitment was selected because she did not want to spend the time or energy of this institution on an external search when in seemed that what UAF needed was some stability and continuity in the College of Rural Alaska. As she understands the objection to the composition of the search committee, it is that it does not conform to the Senate guidelines on searches. Her assumption has been that the position of Executive Dean is not a deanship in the traditional sense. When this position was created it was a compromise between two forces at UAF. On the one hand many groups, including representatives of this body, wanted to reduce the number of high level administrators at UAF. On the other hand, a number of voices off-campus including some very strong ones among the Board of Regents wanted a vice chancellor position for rural Alaska. The result was that we have an Executive Dean which reports directly to the Chancellor. At that time also, one member of the Board of Regents wanted all the directors to be named deans. This she rejected outright. When the search committee was established she wanted to observe, to the extent possible, the guidelines of the Senate. At the same time she wanted appropriate geographical distribution and other types of balance between the units and missions and that there was faculty, staff and student representation. Within those constraints she tried to get as many faculty positions as possible without having an overweight of representation from any specific unit within the College of Rural Alaska. 4) The last item concerns a new effort initiated by the President of the University pertaining to teacher education, both preparation and in-service throughout rural Alaska. The President has asked Wadlow as Chancellor of UAF, which has the major responsibility for rural teacher education, to head of a group of citizens which will study and make recommendation about how to make our delivery of teacher preparation and in-service programs throughout rural Alaska even more effective. The charge is confined to delivery of services not curriculum. She has established an operations team on rural teacher preparation. The committee will begin on November 30, 1995 and she hopes to make recommendations by July of 1996. She envisions this to be a two year effort because the President has indicated that this group should oversee the implementation of the recommendations that are made. Jerry McBeath asked why a direct hire was not done for the CRA dean position. Chancellor Wadlow indicated that there have been successful internal searches in the past and she had hoped for the same with this search. Don Lynch commented that President Bill Wood did arrange a cooperative agreement with the University in the Da Nang area. The Chancellor indicated that they would explore any remains of that agreement. IV Governance Reports A. ASUAF - J. Hayes - none B. Staff Council - M. Scholle Wendy Redman spoke on lobbying efforts at the November 8th Staff Council meeting. Tom Moyer will address the council at their December 1st meeting (9:00 am). Any faculty member who would like to attend are welcome. Staff Council and Staff Alliance are getting together to form strategies on how to approach the problem of budget cuts and how it will affect the university. Marie is also the Spokeperson for the Staff Alliance. At the meeting two weeks ago the Staff Alliance looked at issues from a global perspective not a campus view. They have a request in to meet with the Governor. If that meeting comes about Marie will be asking Eric and Joe Hayes to accompany her to that face-to-face meeting with any ideas you may have. Staff Council and the Staff Alliance are concerned about the rural sites. There is a bill in the Legislature to deal with the geographic differential, which will cut it by 20 percent or more. If this passes it will affect lower paid staff at the rural campuses. Marie thanked all the faculty who supported the College Town Days dance in September. Eric thanked the Staff Council for their support of the Faculty Senate compensation resolution. C. President's Report - E. Heyne Eric's report was attached to the agenda. He noted that there will be a May 13, 1996 meeting to make up for the canceled October meeting. D. Faculty Alliance meeting - D. Lynch A report was attached to the agenda. Don called attention to the sections on 1) Statewide Institutional Programs; and 2) maximum number of credits for a degree. Reporting on the November 10th Faculty Alliance meeting: Cheryl Mann is working with Regent Virginia Breeze to work with her committee. The Grievance Policy is under a third revision and will not be considered until the February 6th Regents' meeting. The Faculty Alliance is setting up a tracking system to track policies as they move through administrative and governance reviews. They are also considering a Faculty Alliance newsletter on e-mail. The Alliance also had a session with Patty Kastelic about the dispute resolution and grievance policies. V Public Comments/Questions - none VI Consent Agenda The consent agenda was adopted without opposition. A. Resolution to confirm the Faculty Appeals & Oversight Committee membership, submitted by Administrative Committee RESOLUTION PASSED ================== BE IT RESOLVED, That the UAF Faculty Senate moves to confirm additional membership on the Faculty Appeals and Oversight Committee membership indicated below: Dale Feist, Professor, CNS David Stone, Professor, CNS Joseph Niebauer, Professor, SFOS Brian Paust, Associate Professor, SFOS Mark Tumeo, Associate Professor, SOE Jonah Lee, Professor, SOE ******************** B.

Presently the Education Department has seven tenured faculty, one of whom is serving on the University-wide Promotion and Tenure Committee and one who is the Director and cannot serve on the committee because her position is an administrative appointment. Thus, Education has only five faculty eligible for serving on the Unit Peer Review Committee this year. ***************** D.

Motion to amend the policies on course compression and course approval, submitted by Curricular Affairs Dana Thomas introduced the motion on course compression. The purpose of the motion was to come up with a coherent policy for course compression that will allow approval within the schools/colleges and will give them an opportunity to review existing compressed courses. This is an amendment to the current policy and will include any course that is compressed to less than six weeks and it does include 1 credit courses. The motion passed. MOTION PASSED (unanimous) ============== The UAF Faculty Senate moves to amend the policies on course compression and course approval by adding the following: Any course compressed to less than six weeks must be approved by the college or school's curriculum council. Furthermore, any core course compressed to less than 6 weeks must be approved by the Core Review Committee. Any new course proposal must indicate those course compression formats in which the course will be taught. Only those formats approved will be allowed for scheduling. EFFECTIVE: Fall 1996 RATIONALE: There is no existing institutional policy establishing an approval process for offering specific courses in a compressed format. This lack of an approval process has caused some faculty to question the appropriateness of some compressed courses. The proposed policy change implements an approval process using the existing governance structure and places the burden of review at the college/school level. A more general review by the Core Curriculum Committee is required for proposals to compress core courses because of their common use across disciplines. Courses currently offered in a compressed format were not granted blanket approval so that individual colleges and schools could review their current compressed offerings. The proposed policy does not prohibit colleges/schools from granting such a blanket approval themselves. **************** B. Motion to amend statement on Interdisciplinary Studies, submitted by Curricular Affairs Dana Thomas indicated that this motion formalizes the required credit hours and when a student may declare an interdisciplinary program so that we don't have students reaching the end of their time here at UAF and deciding to put together a interdisciplinary program. This will reach students early enough to plan a program. The motion with no opposition. MOTION PASSED ============== The UAF Faculty Senate moves to amend the statement on Interdisciplinary Studies as currently listed in the UAF Catalog with the following noted changes: [[ ]] = Deletions CAPS = Additions Interdisciplinary Studies is a program available to UAF students within the associate of applied science, bachelor of arts, bachelor of science, and bachelor of technology degree options. The interdisciplinary program option provides flexibility to students with well-defined goals who do not fit into one of the established majors offered by the university. A student may submit his/her proposal for an interdisciplinary program upon completion of 15 credits at UAF [[and preferably 30 credits (for the associate�s degree), or 60 credits (for the bachelor�s degree) prior to graduation.]], AND HE/SHE SHALL HAVE AT LEAST 30 CREDITS REMAINING IN HIS/HER PROPOSED DEGREE PROGRAM WHEN SEEKING APPROVAL FOR AN INTERDISCIPLINARY DEGREE. The proposed curriculum must differ significantly from established degree programs at UAF and will require evidence that the necessary facilities and faculty are available to ensure an approximation of a normal undergraduate degree. All general requirements for the A.A.S., B.A., B.S., or B.T. degree must be met. In developing an interdisciplinary proposal, the student should specify the degree (A.A.S., B.A., B.S., or B.T.), include an explanation of how the proposed program differs substantially from established UAF programs, and a discussion that current UAF resources are adequate to meet the requirementS of the proposed program. (A MINIMUM OF TWO DISCIPLINES IS REQUIRED FOR THE INTER- DISCIPLINARY DEGREE). The student then obtains an advisory committee of at least three faculty members from the appropriate disciplines THERE SHALL BE AT LEAST ONE FORMAL MEETING WITH THE FULL COMMITTEE TO REVIEW THE STUDENT�S PROPOSAL. The committee will appoint a chair, review the proposed program, select a degree title in concert with the student, and make its recommendation. Applicants then submit to the Provost their proposal for the program they wish to pursue, specifying the degree, proposed curriculum WORKSHEET, and rationale. THE DEGREE IS AWARDED THROUGH THE SCHOOL OR COLLEGE OF THE CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE, SUBJECT TO APPROVAL BY THE PROVOST. Students interested in pursuing an interdisciplinary A.A.S., B.A., B.S., or B.T. degree, or who want to explore this as a degree option, can contact the Academic Advising Center to receive assistance in finding faculty advisors and developing their curriculum proposal. EFFECTIVE: Fall 1996 RATIONALE: Clarification of procedures and requirements for interdisciplinary degrees. *************** C. Motion on Amorous Relationships, submitted by Faculty Affairs The motion was introduced by Norman Swazo who indicated that it was based upon discussion in response to Chancellor Wadlow's request for input. Ron Illingworth offered an amendment to clarify "effective steps" by inserting ",...the faculty member shall notify the dean or director of the situation [[effective steps should be taken]] and make arrangements...." After discussion the amendment failed. Jerry McBeath indicated that he would like to bring such a new policy back to his constituents and moved to postpone action until the December 4th meeting. The motion to postpone passed. MOTION PASSED ============== The UAF Faculty Senate moves to postpone action on a policy on consensual (amorous) sexual relations until the December 4, 1995 meeting. *************** D. Resolution to endorse Systemwide Governance Council Constitutional changes, submitted by Eric Heyne RESOLUTION PASSED ================== BE IT RESOLVED, That the UAF Faculty Senate moves to endorse the proposed changes to the System Governance Council Constitution. RATIONALE: The changes reflect the relative importance and success of the Faculty Alliance, as well as the Coalition of Student Leaders and the Staff Alliance, and make the Systemwide Governance Council more of a coordinating group for those three organizations. *************** VIII Committee Reports A. CURRICULAR AFFAIRS - Dana Thomas The following Curricular Affairs report was submitted as a handout at the Faculty Senate meeting by Dana Thomas. Dana highlighted three items the committee has been working on recently that did not make the report: 1) an American Sign Language motion will be addressed at the next Senate meeting; 2) another proposal from ASUAF is for a student leadership award; and 3) the committee has been requested by the provost to look at a waiver of the Core requirement for students entering the university with a BA degree. Curricular Affairs voted this waiver down. Since the last senate meeting, the Curricular Affairs Committee has met four times; September 28, October 12 & 26, and November 9. We submit three motions for the Senate's consideration at this meeting. The first concerns a general housekeeping measure related to various dates, the second concerns course compression policy, and the third concerns a policy revision for interdisciplinary degrees. Curricular Affairs is currently discussing the following issues: a. A proposal from the Core Curriculum Committee concerning American Sign Language. b. A proposal for a student leadership award. In addition, Curricular Affairs has the following items on its continuing agenda. 1. A proposal to waive the Core requirement for students that have already completed a baccalaureate degree at an accredited institution. This proposal will be discussed with the Core Curriculum Committee. 2. Amendments to the grade appeals procedure related to the case where the department head is the instructor. 3. The use of MATH 105 at UAA for AA degrees and prohibition of the same course (MATH 070) for use at UAF. 4. 500 level course policies. 5. Credit by exam policies. B. FACULTY AFFAIRS - Barbara Alexander A Faculty Affairs report was attached to the agenda. C. SCHOLARLY ACTIVITIES - Paul Layer The following Scholarly Activities report was submitted as a handout at the Faculty Senate meeting by Paul Layer. Paul indicated that he was looking for guidance on the role of the Scholarly Activities Committee. The report presents options that he would like feedback on from senate members. Report on Scholarly Activities Paul Layer, Chair firstname.lastname@example.com 474-5514 November 13, 1995 Presented at UAF Faculty Senate Meeting #59 This document reflects the opinion of the chair of the committee and has not been presented to the rest of the committee, nor to the public. It presents several discussion items but no specific motions at this time. Scholarly activities is the smallest of the four Standing Committees in the Senate. Its charter is to �... deal with policies concerning research and creative activity.� Many of the duties and responsibilities under this charter have been taken up by the other Standing and Permanent Committees, and, in fact, the Scholarly Activities Committee has not met in the two years that I have been in the Senate. If a committee doesn't meet and life goes on, then probably the committee is superfluous in its current configuration. While it is possible that Scholarly Activities could assert itself into policies being dealt with by other committees, it is difficult to recruit members from other more 'popular' standing committees as a senator can serve on only one standing committee. I would like to propose some courses of action which could be taken. 1. Disband Scholarly Activities and reassign the three senators to other committees. No one would know the difference and those senators assigned to this committee would be able to participate in more active committees. 2. Reconstitute Scholarly Activities as a Permanent Committee so that interested senators and non-senators can participate in it. This would allow it to handle duties currently assigned to other committees. 3. Promote a strong Scholarly Activities committee with an expanded mission. For example, I have been asked to review the Regents policies changes although they do not specifically relate to the charter of 'Scholarly Activities'. However a committee of three members and an administrative representative is too small. 4. Leave things as they are. Maybe eventually the membership on this committee will reach critical mass and the issues assigned to it will be important again. If enough truly interested Senators join this committee, then it will become an important one. I realize that the strength of a committee lies with its chair, however without a recent history of playing a role in the senate, it is difficult for the chair to determine what the role of this committee truly is. I would appreciate any feedback or discussion on these ideas before proceeding with a proper motion. I do not want to sound flippant about this issue, nor am I necessarily looking for more work (although by opening my mouth, I am finding it), however I do think a change in this committee is necessary to make it an effective tool for the Senate. D. DEVELOPMENTAL STUDIES - Ron Illingworth The following Developmental Studies report was submitted as a handout at the Faculty Senate meeting by Ron Illingworth. Ron indicated that the committee will be working with the Provost on the K-13 funding. The first meeting of the Developmental Studies Committee will be to consider curricular issues and course approvals. Subsequently, the committee will be addressing the following issues and agenda items: - K-13 funding applicability for Developmental Education - Renorming of the Asset test for UAF - Associate of Arts Degree Requirements - Methods to improve the campus climate for learning at UAF - Development of additional agenda items E. FACULTY APPEALS & OVERSIGHT - Diane Bischak A Faculty Appeals & Oversight report was attached to the agenda. Diane Bischak indicated that the committee has been working on clarifying the charge of the committee. A subcommittee will be formed to set up and carry out the procedures for evaluation of academic administrators and another one to determine what issues of faculty prerogative the committee will deal with. One will be the grade appeals process. Diane also indicated a correction in the terms of office: V. Kamath will hold a 1 year term and Dan Walsh will hold a 2 year term. Diane also indicated that there will be some policy and Bylaw changes dealing with selection of faculty members for grade appeals and grievance panels. F. FACULTY DEVELOPMENT, ASSESSMENT & IMPROVEMENT - Joan Moessner A Faculty Development, Assessment & Improvement report was attached to the agenda. G. LEGISLATIVE & FISCAL AFFAIRS - Michael Jennings Michael indicated that the Legislative & Fiscal Affairs committee would be meeting on Friday, November 17th and would be looking at the development of a statewide PAC. H. UNIVERSITY-WIDE PROMOTION/TENURE - John Keller A University-wide Promotion/Tenure Annual Report for the 1994-95 Academic Year by John Aspnes was attached to the agenda. IX Discussion Items A. Search Committee for CRA Dean Eric Heyne commented that there was considerable material attached to the agenda dealing with this agenda item. In addition, the Senate received a memo from Sharon West noting that she had been confirmed as chair of the committee. There was considerable discussion about what the Senate can do to following up on their request for additional faculty on the CRA Dean Search Committee. There was also discussion about what made this deanship different than other academic deans. A motion was formulated on the floor and more discussion followed. Discussion included the role of the Senate in setting policy. The motion passed and will be forwarded to the President. MOTION PASSED (majority vote with one abstention) ============== The UAF Faculty Senate does not recognize the validity of the current selection process for the Executive Dean of the College of Rural Alaska and directs the Chancellor to follow the established procedure. B. Report on the Faculty Work Load Model of Banner - D. Lynch Don indicated that there were two key elements of the Banner system. 1) A Workload Committee will be established which will lay out the guidelines for determining faculty productivity, and 2) if it is implemented it will require the development and formulation of a quantitative performance model or a workload formula for faculty. Existing institutional related models do not have a very sophisticated means of accounting for research, public service or university service. It's primarily an instructional related model. Kara Nance and Madeline Schatz will be the Senate representatives on the Workload Committee. X Members' Comments/Questions - Jerry McBeath questioned Don Lynch about a letter sent out to faculty. XI Adjournment The meeting was adjourned at 3:55 p.m. Tapes of this Faculty Senate meeting are in the Governance Office, 312 Signers' Hall if anyone wishes to listen to the complete tapes. Submitted by Sheri Layral, Faculty Senate Secretary.

Music DVD Round-Up
- Mark Robertson
- 15 November 2007
Oasis show their capacity to entertain remains undiminished on Lord Don't Slow Me Down (Sony) ••• which follows Noel and Co round the world on the tour to support Don't Believe the Truth. More accurately it shows the relentlessness and tedium of touring and Liam and Noel's fondness for stumping foreign journalists with surreal one-liners. The film, pointlessly shot in black and white to make it look arty instead of capturing the beauty or oddness of some of the places they visit, offers few new insights, but is worth a look to see a well oiled Charlotte Church haranguing Noel, fresh off the stage in Cardiff.
Well Deep: Ten Years of Big Dada Recordings (Big Dada) •••• celebrates a decade of Britain's most stimulating hip hop label, bringing together their promo videos and a documentary about the genesis of the label. The highlight here just also happens to be their finest hour commercially, Roots Manuva's hilarious school sports day promo for 'Witness'.
Beef IV (SonyBMG) • is another chapter in the tabloidising of hip hop music and should be avoided. Take a peep instead at Tupac: Assassination (Liberation Entertainment) ••• and Notorious BIG's Bigger than Life (SonyBMG) ••••, both of which employ a style over substance approach to the rap stars' deaths but include some rare footage and credible interviews.
We've technically mentioned Idlewild's Scottish Fiction (Parlophone) •••• already, as it comes with the band's 'Best Of' compilation, but as an example of giving a sneak peak into the life and processes of a band in an unaffected truly human way there's few to better it.
Not quite so much fun to be had in the company of The Fratellis (Island) whose Edgy in Brixton •• captures a band worryingly short of charisma with clinical accuracy and comes over as boorish and flat.
The prime concern with the intergalactic spectacle that is The Flaming Lips' live show is that the music comes off second best to confetti, spacecraft and dancing santas. UFOs at the Zoo (Warners) ••••• suggests instead that the melée is fuelled by the otheworldly magic in the music. Constructed along the same lines as the Idlewild film, where the concert footage is interspersed with documentary footage, we see the build up and aftermath of this homecoming show in an outdoor amphitheatre in Oklahoma City Zoo. We see the show from a fan's perspective, out in the parking lot, in the queue and in the crowd, beautifully capturing the sense of occasion.
REM Live •••• (Warners) isn't quite so extravagant but instead captures the band live in Dublin in 2005 in crisp, slick fashion. The set lifts mostly from their most recent album, Around the Sun, but there's enough from elsewhere to justify admission.

The Chicago Stock Exchange needed to create a safety "kill switch" feature in their trading exchange that allowed the company to freeze all trading activity in case of a technical glitch or a malfunctioning algorithm. It also needed to find a way to monitor the trading limits of all member companies from the largest regional stock exchange in the country. It had to provide advanced reporting features and ensure accurate and up to date security protocols were being followed, especially during times of heavy load or high trading volume and peak market activity.
Sphere Software designed a custom architecture that met the highly specific needs of CHX members. Our senior architects designed a custom solution that automated the entire reporting process and provided real-time data displays in the form of a custom dashboard. This saved members time in reporting costs and increased efficiency on key reporting protocols.

Societe Generale (SG) has nearly 12,000 employees in 37 countries who deliver worldwide expertise in investment banking, global finance and global markets. SG has a complex distribution system for processing trading instructions. Although these instructions originate from exchanges, they are routed to the appropriate subsystems for further processing. During the routing process, these instructions are enhanced by applying routing and enrichment rules and then translated to different formats. These rules often change due to modifications in financial regulation. Sphere was asked to change the message flow routing which, involved the OCC Exchange. The OCC is the registered clearing facility for all U.S. exchange-listed securities options. Sphere was also required to coordinate the message processing in multiple data centers and subsystems in different geographical areas.
Sphere addressed these challenges by developing new trading message flows between the required exchanges and financial systems with Scala and Java. The routing rules and adapter pipelines for message enrichment and validation were changed in the existing NVision framework. Sphere formatted and executed the field transformation for messages in NewClear, which is a subsystem that reconciled the buying and selling of trading as well as for GMI and Shadow. Routing rules, enrichment data and configuration information were obtained via GemFire and Oracle servers. Sphere also developed and implemented a unique message broker substitution workaround for the UAT ( User Acceptance Testing ) environment, which simulated various infrastructures for message flows. Lastly, flow visualization in NVision Web Dashboard was also adjusted.

Nokia manages one of the largest data communications networks in the world that weaves together mobile broadband, fixed access, IP routing, optical technologies and Cloud applications. These networks are becoming increasingly strained as wireless technologies continue to penetrate new markets and remote populations. Nokia asked Sphere to integrate the code from different legacy solutions as well as its web/non-web services that were written in Java and Scala, which handled map object updates from various databases.
Sphere implemented a Spring Cloud configuration server that centralized storage and delivery for all instances. A new Netflix micro-services architecture was designed to improve services configuration, flow, monitoring and delivery. As a result, the configuration for all instances was stored in one place and automatically propagated to service instances. The code became more readable and maintainable. Services were auto-discovered through the Eureka server that was running in high-availability mode and their states were monitored by a Hystrix web dashboard. Furthermore, there were no more legacy XML configuration for application instances.

Beauty is about timing. The line between being ahead of the pack and jumping the gun is a fine one. Fresh-faced beauty is all very well in summer, but try wearing it a few days too late and you'll look like you've just got out of bed. By the same token, step out too soon in full autumn/winter make-up and you'll look over made-up.
At this time of year, you need to be wearing the make-up equivalent of a denim jacket - light enough to still feel summery, but smoothing out your complexion. Your skin will have gone at least a shade darker over the past few months, which will have softened imperfections. But as your tan fades, you need to compensate, either by using a darker powder or a foundation, but don't be heavy-handed.
"Once you've got June, July and August out of the way, you need to step up the coverage a bit," says Jason Rowe, international make-up artist with Prescriptives. "Keep your base relatively sheer: you'll probably need something a bit more corrective than tinted moisturiser, but do it gradually. Don't go straight from being a natural beach babe into full make-up overnight; ween yourself back on to it."
When it comes to eyes, lips and cheeks, the easiest way to do this is to start choosing colours with a little more pigment, but hold off from solid blocks of colour until the days get a bit darker. Adding sheen to colours, making them transparent, will stop them looking too heavy. If you can't face giving up your summer palette just yet, then try layering those shades to give them more depth and an autumnal feel. Keep eyes relatively light: "Maybe move from wearing just mascara to adding a little liner or a liquid wet/dry shadow to even out the colours on your eyelid, but don't pick something that will melt or crease while it's still warm," says Rowe. Annoying as this crossover period is, it's a great time to experiment, and what better way to spend a rainy September afternoon than gliding around beauty halls lit so brightly you could almost pretend it's summer?
