The MAROON Loyola University, New Orleans, Louisiana 70118 Vol. 62, No. 20 March 16, 1984 Tuition hike to benefit professors By Ted Mahne Students may feel the pinch, but. . . hour. Graduate studies courses will run $165 per credit hour. The Loyola School of Law will raise its tuition $760 to $5,660 per year. Eckholdt would not grant an interview, but in a written response to questions submitted by The Maroon, Eckholdt said, "The primary reason for the increase was to maintain a competitive advantage insofar as faculty and other salaries are concerned."He added, "We are committed to attracting outstanding faculty and we believe this can only be accomplished by having competitive salaries." As a result of thp tuition increases, Raising faculty salaries to remain competitve with other colleges is the main reason for next year's $440 tuition increase, according to John L. Eckholdt, vice president for business and finance. Undergraduate tuition will increase 11.1 percent to $4,390 for the 1984-85 school year. Tuition is currently $3,950 per year. Other tuition increases were also announced earlier this month. Classes taken in the City College will now cost $85 per credit hour and the summer session courses will cost $110 per credit Eckholdt said, students receiving financial aid will receive increases in that aid. "In fact, the rate"of increase in financial aid is considerably higher than the rate of increase in tuition," he said. Dr. E.P. Seybold, director of Scholarships and Financial Aid, said he expects some students who have never before filed for financial aid to apply because of the tuition increase. However he does not predict a dramatic increase in students eligible for aid. "I do not predict a substantial change in students being eligible for financial aid," Seybold said. Eckholdt also explained residence hall fee increases. "The residence halls are increasing 12 percent in order to maintain our policy that the expenses of operating Tuition Rates Students give opinions on tuition rate increase By Bettina Buval Many students are concerned about how they will offset next year's tuition increases according to an informal survey conducted by The Maroon this week. John L. Eckholdt, vice president for Business and Finance, announced an increase in tuition for the 1984-85 school year. Undergraduates will face an 11.1 percent hike which amounts to $440 and increases tuition to $4,390. Increases will be felt throughout the university. Bryan Foley, psychology junior said, "The increase will affect my parents mainly, because they work and help pay my tuition. I guess the increase will mean that any extra money will be cut out for them; or else I would have to get money during the summer to help pay the tuition. My father is retiring, so money will be cut down from now on." "I'll have to get a job, much as I wouldn't like to, because it would affect my grades," Kelvin Jackson, political science sophomore, said. "The only other choice would be to take out another loan. I was planning to come to Loyola for summer school, but now I don't know. I might just work," he said. Suzzette Herndon, a drama senior, said the increase in tuition would not affect her drastically. "I plan to get a summer job and save up the money I might need. The increase in residence hall rates is going to hit people on campus the most. With the increase, it's going to make things a lot more expensive. In fact, it might be cheaper to live off campus than on campus and just pay tuition," she said.

• 2 pounds beef stew meat (cut into 1 - 2 inch cubes)• salt and pepper• all-purpose flour for dusting beef• vegetable oil as needed for browning beef• 1 1/2 cups pearl onions (or rough chopped onion)• 1 - 1 1/2 cups pure, unsweetened pomegranate juice (or dry red wine)• 4 cups beef stock (unsalted or low sodium if possible)• 1-2 cups water as needed (as stew reduces over time)• 1 - 1 1/2 cups peeled, rough chopped carrots• 1 - 1 1/2 cups peeled, rough chopped parsnips• 1 - 1 1/2 cups peeled and cubed potatoes• salt to taste• chopped parsley for garnish (optional)• pomegranate seeds for garnish (optional...see hints below)
1. Season the cubed beef with salt and pepper....lightly flour it....and then, working in batches, brown it up in vegetable oil in a heavy bottomed soup pot.
2. Once you've browned up all of the cubed beef and it's out of the pot, you can add 1 - 1 1/2 cups of rough chopped onion or a similar amount of pearl onions......stir those around for a minute.....and then add the beef back to the pan and add 1 - 1 1 /2 cups of unsweetened pure pomegranate juice and 4 cups of beef stock and bring it up to a simmer.
3. The stew will take around 2 1/2 - 3 hours for the beef to become nice and tender and you want to let it simmer along with just the onions and beef, at a gentle simmer, for about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours before adding the rest of the vegetables.
4. After that time has passed, add 1 - 1 1/2 cups each of peeled and rough chopped carrots and peeled and rough chopped parsnips.....and also an equal amount of peeled and cubed potatoes......and since the liquid will be reducing as it cooks, you may need to add some water to help cover those vegetables.
5. Let is simmer along until the meat is nice and tender and the vegetables are cooked through, and then season it to taste and serve it up with a sprinkling of chopped fresh parsley and an optional sprinkling of pomegranate seeds.
• The pomegranate seed garnish is a textural thing that some folks might not enjoy so much...it can be seen as more of a nod the tradition of including pomegranates in the celebration of Rosh Hashanah..
• This same technique could work for beef brisket but the timing might be slightly different depending on size of brisket.....and feel free to let the beef gently simmer/roast in the oven at around 350 degrees instead of on the stove top. Just check it to make sure it is simmering along nicely.

If your boss sees that you spend a lot of time on StackOverflow to solve other's problems, how can you explain it?
migrated from stackoverflow.com Mar 19 '10 at 21:06
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
My code is compiling. If seriously, tell him that:
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Send him the link to OnStartups. He'll be spending days there answering business-related questions of other people. | |||||||||
If you spend a lot of time solving other people's problems, maybe you can't explain why. You are paid to solve certain problems of interest to your employer, not any arbitrary software problem that may be happening at some point of the planet. | |||||||||
I tell him it's an investment in a community/service that's provided me with dozens of good answers to hard problems. | |||
Maybe explaining it is the wrong thing to do. What is it you get paid to do again? | |||
I'd explain and show to him a question I posted about that particular problem no one else could solve in the project for the last two weeks and how fast it was solved by using StackOverflow.com | |||
My boss says that it's cool that I'm on Stackoverflow, sharing my knowledge and learning from others. That makes me a better programmer, which benefits the team. Of course, I should stop my working hours tracker when I enter SO. But my boss nevertheless says it's cool... And I start suspecting that... | |||
"Stackoverflow is a programming questions and answers site. I use it to expose myself to new technologies, to hone my skills, and to find answers to pressing questions and roadblocks." | |||
Maybe if it's a problem then your boss should be putting pressure on you. Or if it's not a problem but your boss thinks it is and your boss wouldn't understand then maybe you should find a new boss (aka new job). | |||

Longmont industrial area hit hard
Flooding leaves a chaotic scene in a portion of the machine shop and tool room at WP Manufacturing in Longmont, which makes injection molding.
"The good part is the people," McLean said Sept. 17, noting that some of the volunteers were members of his church, although he didn't know where all had come from. "I think there's just volunteers here who are good people. For people to come out here and do this, it's absolutely terrific."
Ignoring the business implications of the natural disaster, though, was impossible. At one point, McLean looked down and with his foot flipped over a part that his injection molding company – officially named HisArmCo Inc., but doing business as WP Manufacturing – had made for a customer.
"That's a $10 bill," he said.
Such scenes were playing out up and down Boston Avenue, one of the areas of town where businesses were hit hardest by the floodwaters that for a couple of days divided Longmont into disconnected northern and southern halves.
Brad Power, Longmont director of economic development, said it would take some time for city officials to land an official count of businesses affected. He and his staff had been too busy dealing with life safety issues and helping with various other relief efforts.
"I'm frankly amazed at how many are reopened," Power said a week after the flooding had begun. "People are working pretty hard out there to get back going."
While almost all vowed to be back in business, many knew the road to recovery would be a long one. Damage estimates for many ranged from the thousands to the millions of dollars.
Record rainfall pummeled the Front Range, starting Sept. 9 and lasting nearly a week. On Sept. 12, Boulder County's rivers and creeks could no longer contain all the water. In Longmont, the St. Vrain River and Left Hand Creek overflowed all the way through town before eventually converging on the east side.
Harvest Junction, a shopping center that straddles Colorado Highway 119 in the southeast part of town, saw flooding on both sides of the road, although most of those businesses reopened within a couple days after the rain subsided. The same went for the area of South Main Street where Lefthand Creek crosses it. Businesses near First Avenue and Main also were affected.
Recovery along and near Boston Avenue, to the west of Main, will take more time.
Once floodwaters receded, the scene along Boston from Sunset Street to Price Road looked like something out of the old West, with vehicles instead of stagecoaches kicking up dust from the mud-packed street. The water that impacted that area most, however, didn't come directly from the nearby St. Vrain River but via the St. Vrain-swamped Izaak Walton Park to the north, where a pond burst through its banks.
Left Hand Brewing Co., right next to the St. Vrain, saw minimal flooding in its buildings and had opened its tap room by Sept. 16. Beer was being brewed again the next day. But 50 yards to the east, Sun Construction saw eight inches of water in its building. Across the street from Sun, commercial and residential maintenance company Panorama Coordinated Services got about two feet. Farther east, businesses such as WP Manufacturing and The Corvette Spa saw two to three feet of water in their buildings.
"Compared to our neighbors, we're pretty lucky," said Chris Lennert, vice president of operations for Left Hand, which celebrated its 20th anniversary in part by raising money for flood relief at Longmont Oktoberfest on Sept. 20-21.
Panorama owner Pete Storz said his company had been able to get most of its main assets – vehicles and equipment – out of its building to a different location before the flood waters hit. His software and client data were backed up in the cloud. Despite having plenty of flood damage to clean up in his building, Panorama was operating as usual on Sept. 17. Storz had no damage estimate but said he had insurance to cover most of it.
Not everyone could say the same.
Owner Curt Ingram of Corvette Spa, a high-performance and auto-restoration shop, said he had no flood insurance to cover his estimated $75,000 to $80,000 in damage to equipment and customers' cars. He was working with the Small Business Administration instead to see what sort of aid or loans were available. Ingram said he'd likely be out of business three to four weeks while his landlord repaired the building.
"It will not put me out of business," Ingram said. "We're just set back."
Next door at Main Street Import, a small used-car dealer and repair shop that had just relocated to the spot in May, owner Andy Im estimated more than $100,000 in damage. Im, who also had no flood insurance, said the flood wouldn't put him out of business but that he'd be "starting back at rock bottom."
Across the street, WP Manufacturing's flood insurance policy was capped at $500,000, well short of the estimated $2.5 million to $3 million McLean estimated he had in damage and inventory loss. McLean had the added issue of the city condemning his 45,000-square-foot building because of structural damage at the northwest corner that included washed-out ground at the foundation, a portion of flooring that heaved and a hole in the wall caused by flood debris.
McLean, who bought the company in 2008, had moved it to the Boston Avenue location in April 2012, making it tough to watch piles of brand new carpet pulled out into the parking lot. Still, McLean said if his machinery "behaved" once it was cleaned up and structural issues with the building were fixed, the company could be back in production soon. WP's facility in Mexico could help pick up some of the slack in the meantime.
"On-time delivery is going to be a challenge," McLean said, adding that he was confident that the business would bounce back.
Like WP, Budget Home Center's flood insurance policy was capped at $500,000. Owner Butch Vernon estimated $500,000 to $1 million in damage to the hardware store. Located a couple blocks east of WP at Boston and South Pratt Parkway, Budget saw only about an inch of mud and water in the 80,000-square-foot store, and Vernon said inventory there was fine. In a lower building at the back of the property where pre-hung doors and countertops are made, however, Vernon said five feet of floodwater had destroyed all inventory.
Nonetheless, Budget Home Center's 45 employees were allowed back in the building on Sept. 15, and the store was open two days later. Like McLean, Vernon lauded his employees for their efforts and resilience. When he first saw the damage, said Vernon, who is nearing retirement, he wanted to "hop in a Winnebago and head for Arizona." Those feelings quickly faded as the cleanup efforts began.
"We have no plans but to fight on," Vernon said.

Les Arcenaulx Review
At this book-lined, red-wall haven in the stylish book-and-boutique complex of a renovated arsenal, you can have a sophisticated regional lunch and read while you're waiting. If you've had your fill of fish, indulge in the grilled filet of beef with fried artichokes with sweet onion. The terrace (on the Italian-scale Cours d'Estienne d'Orves) is as pleasant as the interior.

The first time we used it was on a 200-mile super-mountainous ride in the Pyrenees when it rained for hours on end, and it kept the water out without any trouble.

The composers autograph manuscript of the Organ Concerto No 14 in A major HWV296a is undated, but its paper-type suggests that he composed it in early 1739. Its first performance was probably on 20 March 1739, at the Kings Theatre, Haymarket, an evening which also featured a revival of the ode Alexanders Feast. Unlike the context of most of his other organ concertos, Handel probably incorporated HWV296a within the narrative of the main entertainment. In earlier performances of Alexanders Feast, the recitative Timotheus, placd on high had been followed by his Harp Concerto in B flat major (Op 4 No 6), which musically illustrated the texts reference to the minstrel Timotheus playing the lyre for Alexander the Great. However, the conducting score of the ode shows that at some pointpresumably 1739the end of the recitative was recomposed in order to allow a smooth transition to inserted music in A major, the key of the organ concerto. The music for this concerto seems to have pleased Handel, who reused all four of its main movements the following October for the eleventh of his Twelve Grand Concertos Op 6. On this recording two sectionsthe ad libitum and the opening of the Graveare improvised by the organist Richard Marlow.

text: PublicationsInternational Activity Report 2011MyanmarMore than two-thirds of the 120,000 people living with HIV in Myanmar do not have access to the lifesaving antiretroviral (ARV) medication they need. While there have been encouraging efforts to increase the health budget, the state health system remains underfunded. Furthermore, although Myanmar is one of the least developed countries in Southeast Asia, with a high incidence of HIV and tuberculosis (TB), it receives very low levels of aid. HIV care: needs not being metDoctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is working in close collaboration with the Ministry of Health and other agencies to build up the technical capacities and resources of the various HIV care programs in the country. Overwhelming numbers of people are in need of treatment, but there are only a few sources supplying medicines. MSF has had to make tough choices about whom to treat, and in some areas staff have been forced to restrict ARV treatment to the sickest patients. At the end of 2011, MSF was the largest ARV treatment provider in the country, with just over 23,000 HIV patients enrolled at its clinics in Kachin, Rakhine and Shan states, and Tanintharyi and Yangon regions. Staff also offered health education to high-risk groups such as intravenous drug users, sex workers and men who have sex with men, and provided testing and counselling, and prevention of mother-to-child transmission services. In Insein prison, Yangon, MSF started 150 prisoners on ARV medication and treated 66 patients for TB. TB and multidrug-resistant TBTB can remain in an inactive state for decades without causing symptoms or spreading to other people. The body's immune system can fight off the infection and stop the bacteria from spreading by forming scar tissue around the bacteria and isolating it from the rest of the body. However, when the immune system of a patient with dormant TB is weakened, the TB can become active, and without treatment, be fatal. Because HIV attacks the immune system, the body becomes more susceptible to infections, including TB. In many developing countries, TB is one of the first opportunistic infections to take hold in people with HIV, and is the main cause of death. TB prevalence in Myanmar is nearly three times the global average. MSF provides TB treatment, diagnosis and counseling as part of its HIV programs. Staff also conduct outreach activities in the districts surrounding the clinics, offering testing and following up on patients. In 2011, MSF enrolled approximately 3,000 TB patients across its programmes in Myanmar. The World Health Organization estimates that 9,300 people develop multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) in Myanmar each year. MDR-TB can be transmitted in the same way as drug-sensitive TB, through sneezing or coughing, but can also develop when a patient, either through mismanagement or misuse of medication, develops resistance to two or more of the standard TB drugs. Treatment for MDR-TB takes up to two years and has numerous side effects. In a pilot project set up by MSF with the Ministry of Health in Yangon, 72 patients have begun MDR-TB treatment, and there are plans to add MDR-TB treatment to HIV and TB services already being offered in Dawei, in the southern region of Tanintharyi. MSF will continue to scale up treatment for HIV/AIDS and MDR-TB while urging donors to keep their pledges. Exclusion from healthcare in RakhineMSF continued to provide medical care to a stateless Muslim minority in Rakhine, who are marginalized in many ways and often excluded from accessing the most basic medical services. Activities focus on basic healthcare, with a specific emphasis on reproductive health and malaria. Treatment for malariaMalaria is one of the leading causes of death in Myanmar. MSF clinics provide diagnosis, treatment and prevention measures in areas where the disease is particularly common. Staff treated some 93,900 people in total. At the end of 2011, MSF had 1,290 staff in Myanmar. MSF has been working in the country since 1992. |

It's funny didn't here from Crue for a month until now I wouldn't be surprised if RG3 runs all over Dallas tomorrow and they lose big. RG3 knows how big this game is for Washington they hate the Cowboys like we hate the Eagles....even though I hate the Cowboys more. I'm telling you the Redskins win tomorrow and we beatdown GB again this Sunday for them opening their big mouths last year. GB used to be a respectable organization but now with Rodgers ****y stupid attitude with his stupid belt celebration and clay's whinin g they are in trouble.

Rainbow Korknisse
Who lives here, I wonder?
*knock knock*
Of course! It's the little Korknisse!
How lovely to see you.
How are you?
Are there any more of you in there?
Oh how super! Lots of Korknisse.
And rainbow colours, too.
Please can I have a nice photo of you?
Oh now, that's just silly.
Please behave.
Thank you, that's better.
Now, can I take a photo indoors, so we can see you in all your summer finery?
Right, in a line please.
Really. You are just being naughty now.
Stop buggering around and behave.
That's more like it. Thank you.
Well now, that's just plain showing off now, fellas.
"Nice butterfly."
Oh dear, I think the sun got to me today.
'Korknisse' means 'cork elf' in Norwegian. They are traditionally knitted Christmas ornaments, but I crochet mine Amigurumi-stylie and love 'em at any time of the year.
I've already made Spring Korknisse here and Royal Wedding Korknisse here too.
Mad, but true.

I'm trying not to laugh out loud because my 18 year old daughter is in the room and if I tell her I am laughing at crochet round corks to make little blokes she will give me a withering look and might put me in a home.
Very funny, the comments make them come alive.

After years of climate inaction -- China recently surpassed the U.S. as the world's largest emitter of CO2 -- the country is ramping up efforts to transition to a clean-energy economy.
The Chinese government announced a plan to produce 20 percent of it's energy from renewable sources by 2020 and is expected to spend billions on green technology as part of its economic stimulus package.
China is also working toward railway expansion, coal plant modernization, improving land use planning, and more.
In recent months, a Green Building Council launched to certify energy efficient construction following increased interest among developers -- more than 150 projects registered for LEED certification in China over the past two years.
Although China's global warming emissions continue to rise as it's economy expands, it's a relief to see the Chinese government actively addressing -- and beginning to combat -- the climate crisis.

Football fever begins at an early age
Considering I had to grab my son about 10 times to keep him from running out onto the football field during last Friday's game, I think it's safe to say that he's ready to play.
Football season is back, and I couldn't be more excited. Attending our first game this season as a family, I can tell that both Jason and James are just as excited as I am.
We all three went to the Benton Academy game last weekend. Jason had to cover the game for The Herald. James and I were pretty much along for the ride.
In a perfect and serene world, I would have placed James in his seat on the bleachers. We would, side by side, gaze upon the field as the players gave it their all. We would explode into excitement when our team scored. We would sulk when things didn't go our way.
At halftime, we would both enjoy a hot dog and soft drink. While eating, we would laugh and have a Hallmark card moment.
In reality it was a little more exciting than the vision I had hoped for.
As Jason made his way onto the sidelines to cover the game, James and I took our seat on the first row of the bleachers.
I sat down with my purse and James' bag and placed James by my side. So far, the night was going as my vision planned. There we were. A mom and son enjoying a football game.
After two minutes of peaceful heaven, James got up. He made his way to the fence. He immediately began to sway back and forth.
The swaying is his calm before the storm. I knew that there would no longer be any calm sitting. James was ready for football.
As I stayed in my seat, I watched James run back and forth down the fence line. I think he actually thought he was playing with the big boys. He followed the football and even stopped to watch when a play was over.
I began to smile, thinking maybe I had a future linebacker or even a quarterback on my hands.
I must have went a little too far into dreamland because when I snapped back into it, I didn't see James.
Every mother has that moment when your heart stops and your stomach falls to your feet when you can't find your kid. I began to scan down the fence line, even into the bleachers thinking he made his way up to the top.
Then I saw the fence gate open, and something told me to hurry over there.
James had opened the fence and was headed out onto the football field. Luckily I snatched him before he went any farther.
I heard shouts from the crowd.
"Let him play Momma."
"He's ready to get in there."
It was kind of cute when it was all over with. But after about 10 times, I debated on just sitting down in front of the gate for the rest of the game.
About the second quarter, James discovered that he could crawl down the first row of seats in the bleachers. I decided to let him do it. Whatever it takes to occupy him would be fine.
Then I heard the shout. Even though there were tons of kids shouting and yelling, I heard James' shout out of all of them.
"Momma," he said, looking up on all fours at the end of the row. "I stuck."
His shoelace had wrapped around a nail. I was a hero for a moment and turned him loose.
After a quick supper at halftime, James was ready to play some football. Mrs. Susie Bradshaw decided to let James hold one of those little footballs the cheerleaders throw into the crowd during the game.
James loved it, and at first he held onto it tightly. Then he threw the ball over the fence and onto the field. Fortunately the cheerleaders happily gave it back to James.
I also happily returned it to Mrs. Susie, thanking her.
By the time we all headed back to the car at the end of the game, James was dirty with mud, drink, sweat and food.
Jason was tired from taking notes and snapping pictures.
I was tired from running after an excited two year old.
I didn't get to see much of the game itself, but the scenes with James were just as fun.
Football isn't just about the boys on the field.
It was the socializing with the fans. It was the good food and cold drink. It was the laughter of the children playing their own football game on the side.
It was the smile on James' face when he saw the football. It was his grin when he looked up at the teenage boys near the fence line.
It was Friday night lights at its best.
As I saw James' small frame against the football players that night, I realized that I would blink and then he would be out there like them years from now.
At least for now, I can watch my little James get his running and throwing skills in.
And there's no place I would rather be on a Friday night.
