The past already includes 27 football games as Nebraska's kicker and punter, and two selections to All-Big Ten teams.
The future holds graduation in May, his wedding in June and hopefully the start of an NFL career.
So Brett Maher has his perspective to keep from making too much of the day when he kicks at the NFL Combine.
"I just want to go out there and have a good day, hit the ball like I know I can and see where it all falls," Maher said. "I feel like I'm going in prepared and I'm just excited to have that opportunity.
"It'll be unique. But at the same time, when it comes down to it there'll be a snapper and a holder and myself, and I'll just go out there and try to get it through the uprights."
Maher, I-back Rex Burkhead and safety Daimion Stafford are the only former Huskers heading to the combine, with Maher the first to arrive Wednesday. After some physical testing and meetings with NFL personnel and scouts, the Kearney High graduate will work out with a dozen other kickers and punters Saturday at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
Maher realizes it's a chance to show his distance, accuracy and consistency in front of a large and important audience. But his r�sum� already includes his success as a Husker, and he will also kick at NU's pro day March 7 and likely in some individual workouts for teams closer to the NFL draft.
That's kept him from stressing too much on how he'll be compared in Indianapolis to other kickers such as Jeff Locke of UCLA, Caleb Sturgis of Florida, Dustin Hopkins of Florida State and Quinn Sharp of Oklahoma State.
"There is definitely some pressure with it," Maher said. "But I've had days here at Nebraska when I've had a lot of pressure on me — championship games and conference games and playing against big rivals. I don't look at it as something that's so scary or something that's going to determine my fate."
Maher also is somewhat at ease because of his preparation since the Huskers' season ended at the Capital One Bowl.
The 6-foot, 185-pounder has been working out five days a week under the tutelage of Nebraska strength and conditioning coach James Dobson, along with taking some yoga classes. He has been kicking three days a week in the Hawks Center, with snaps from former teammate P.J. Mangieri and holds from NU assistant director of football operations Jake Wesch.
Also, Maher traveled to South Carolina recently to work with Fred Pinciaro, a kicking coach whose list of visitors also includes former Husker and current Cincinnati Bengals kicker Josh Brown, as well as Shayne Graham, Connor Barth and Neil Rackers.
Maher made that connection through his agent, Robert Roche of RSR Sports Management.
"It was awesome just to have another set of eyes just to see what's going on, and from a guy who's seen a lot of guys kick at a higher level," Maher said. "He didn't try to change me or anything, just gave me some minor details to work on or think about."
At Nebraska, Maher made 39 of 50 field goals after replacing Alex Henery, the fourth-round draft pick of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2011. He also averaged 43.2 yards per punt the last two seasons.
Maher has shelved most of his punting practice to focus on place-kicking and kickoffs the last six weeks, a lightening of the workload that he also believes will have him at his best for NFL scouts.
"Hopefully they realize how high my ceiling is," he said. "I'm excited about where I am. I'm excited about how I feel and how I'm kicking."
Maher was having lunch with his family in Orlando the day after the Capital One Bowl when he looked at his phone to find his combine invitation emailed from the NFL. Maher had hoped it would come but also didn't want to take it for granted when so few kickers are called.
"I was just excited and ready for another opportunity," he said.

Several readers wrote regarding the November "My Take" column "Failing Toward Success," including two former contributors…
Dear Maintenance Technology:
Your "Failing Toward Success" reference to the development of cell-phone technology was indeed interesting. The R&D team at Motorola had a goal of producing a major commercial product that would have a financial impact on the company profits. The output would be a brand-new product that could be used by an average person at a very reasonable cost.
Maintenance issues within a plant do not have the same glamour as cell-phone technology. However, development of exceptional solutions to improving equipment life deserve to be recognized.
Consider these solutions, from different points in time, for sealing cryogenic fluids. The first involved liquid-oxygen-loading pumps for NASA's space shuttle. The failure of these pumps has been documented in the technical paper "Highly Reliable Oxygen (LOX) Pump for Vehicle Loading," by D. M. Pittman at NASA. On this project, the focus was on several maintenance issues that resulted in low reliability and failure to meet launch-pad fill rates. The initial design of the pumping system used a metal bellows seal. However, it was prone to bellows cracking and premature seal face wear from moisture freezing on the seal face. This pump was redesigned and now incorporates a new seal arrangement based on a series of labyrinth seals. Heat from friction was eliminated.
Several years later, a project developed with a different group of engineers. This involved a fleet of tanker trucks handling cryogenic fluids (as documented in my article "What Do Seal Failures Really Cost?" published in the April 2008 issue of Maintenance Technology). In this case, the best solution to seal failures was to allow a phase change of the fluid in the seal faces from a liquid to a gas. This was a significant development that resulted in major savings for the operator of the fleet.

Another letter came from Professor Paul Feuerstein, author of our December 2009 cover feature "Attenuating Vibration: Look To The Dynamic Support System"…Dear Maintenance Technology:
Paul E. Feuerstein, P.E.
Via e-mail
Bob Williamson's December "Uptime" column "Made In China" brought in a rash of complimentary notes, including the following…
Dear Mr. Williamson:
Very nice article regarding manufacturing in the U.S. I'm a Mechanical Engineer with an advanced degree in business. I'm hanging on in my career and totally understand all that you wrote. (As to the problem) look no further than the leadership, or lack thereof. "U.S. Management is doing the right things; whereas leadership is doing what is right," as Drucker said.
The recent Daytona 500 looked much like business in America: You step out of the draft, and you go to the back. Our current economy is the wreck that happens in the last 20 laps. I was upset to see Mark Martin get caught up in this type of wreck, as many good businesses do when trying to survive. But how did Jimmy Johnson do? He moved out of the draft to make sure he'd avoid the wreck and finish. He has won the NASCAR championship four years in a row.

Finally, a number of you told us that you somehow identified with December's "My Take" column on "The Value of Handmade." Here's one thoughtful note about the issues this column raised…
Dear Maintenance Technology:
I have come up through the maintenance ranks (over the past 30 years) and seen the industry suffer from a lack of youth. As an example, our maintenance group was installing a 300 hp DC motor on a rubber mill that had come back from a PdM overhaul. I went out to see how the guys were coming on the coupling alignment. We still use indicators, and as the indicator rotated behind their easy vantage point, they got out the mirror to read it. The trouble was that neither maintenance tech could. I couldn't read it either. Out came the magnifying glass, and the realization that we need to hire some young people, if for nothing else than to tell us what we are looking at. (I am the youngest in our group at 49.)
When it is time to hire someone, we nearly always end up with someone over 40. At one time, we hired people as young as 21, hoping to train them. We did, but at great cost. Some ran forklifts into rack systems, others were not careful about workmanship or their own safety. It took from two to four years for them to be really productive. Then they moved on to the next job.
Hiring someone with years of experience is like bringing home a house-broken pet. You only need to show them where the food, water and litter box are, and they get along just fine. No mess, no accidents.

Controversial Labor Reversals Overshadow Idle Congress
Originally published: 10.01.11 by Charlie McCrudden
2011: Light on legislation, rich in regulatory activities.
This column is intended to provide news and analysis for HVACR contractors from ACCA's perspective just across the Potomac River from what's happening in Washington, D.C. I've always tried to focus on issues that fly under the radar of the general news media. In most years, those issues would be about policy and spending decisions affecting the industry. But 2011 isn't most years, and the divided Congress has failed to pass any major energy, tax, or other small-business policy initiatives into law this year. Most of what's happening is not coming from the Legislative branch. Instead, the HVACR industry and its players have been keeping a close eye on the regulatory agencies that are part of the Executive branch. Don't for a minute think there's not a lot of politics when it comes to the rules and regulations that come out of the Dept. of Energy, OSHA, or the EPA. President Obama, as the leader of the federal government, appoints thousands of workers to the federal agencies to carry out his agenda on behalf of his constituency. Recent actions by two federal agencies, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and the Dept. of Labor, have raised eyebrows because of a perceived tilting toward the labor-union agenda. New 'Labor Poster' Required If you own a business and have an email account, you've probably received dozens of emails alerting you that you need a new "labor poster" because in August, the NLRB finalized a rulemaking that requires most private-sector employers to notify employees of their rights to organize and bargain collectively under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). The NLRB has a long-standing policy of not asserting its jurisdiction over very small employers with annual volumes of business too small to have more than a slight effect on interstate commerce. The NLRB's general jurisdictional standards are industry-specific; and under the retail standard, which applies to employers in home construction, the NLRB will not "take" jurisdiction over any such employer that has a gross annual volume of business of less than $500,000. For businesses within the NLRB jurisdiction, failure to post the notice could be used as evidence in an unfairlabor practices case. Other than a brief mention that employees have the right to refrain from union activities, there is no mention of a right to decertify a union that is in place or how to do so. Organizations representing business interests raised objections to this rule from the day it was proposed back in December 2010. While other federal labor laws include employee notification requirements (the lunch room "labor law posters" that detail minimum wage, Family and Medical Leave Act, etc.), the NLRA as passed by Congress in 1935 and amended several times since has never required notification. Business groups are furious over this new poster requirement. Many have joined a lawsuit recently filed by the National Association of Manufacturers to block the new rule before it goes into effect in November. The suit alleges that the notice is little more than government- mandated advertisements for unions and an infringement on an employer's private property rights. The suit asserts that the NLRB does not have authority under the NLRA to promulgate a rule requiring placement of the poster in a private business. One reason business groups are so upset is that some conclude that if management unknowingly provides incorrect answers to an employee's inquiry regarding the notice, that could also constitute an unfair labor practice actionable by the NLRB. Despite the legal challenge, under the new rule, the two-page notice must be in place by Nov. 14, 2011, even if there is no union in that workplace. Proposed Rules Change Elections, Disclosures While the employer-notification rule was finalized in August, another rule still under consideration by the NLRB would accelerate union elections, and one proposed by the Dept. of Labor would change the rules governing management's activities leading up to a union election. These are also straight off the union wish list. The "Ambush Election" rule would change the election procedures to shorten time between when employees file a petition and the union certification election. The change could mean that union elections occur within 10 days of the petition, instead of the average 38 days. The "Persuader" Rule would significantly curtail what an employer could do or say to its employees between the time of the petition and the union election. The proposed changes mean employers would have to disclose information about any advice provided by law firms, consultants, or trade associations, and the cost to provide that information. Combined, these proposed rules would dramatically decrease the time employers have to speak with their employees about union representation, potentially shortening the entire unionelection process. The rules would effectively block small businesses from obtaining legal and other advice about how to talk to employees during a union-organizing drive. And they may discourage attorneys willing to assist employers because both the client and counsel would have to disclose vast amounts of private financial and other data. Again, business groups in Washington feel these proposals unfairly tip the scale toward union organizers and leave employees without enough information or time to make a real decision in a real election. Rulings Raise Concerns But it's not just the proposed rules coming from the Obama NLRB that are concerning to a lot of businesses; it's also the precedent administrative rulings on specific complaints. The most notorious case is the recent action by the NLRB General Counsel accusing aerospace giant Boeing of violating the rights of its employees in Washington state by locating a new aircraft factory in South Carolina. As a remedy, the NLRB is seeking to have Boeing move the jobs to Washington, after the company invested more than $1 billion and hired new workers. A decision by an administrative law judge on this case is expected later this year, followed by a final review by the NLRB. The House of Representatives weighed in on the Boeing case on Sept. 15 when it voted 238-186 in favor of H.R. 2587, the Protecting Jobs from Government Interference Act. Introduced by Rep. Tim Scott of South Carolina, H.R. 2587 prohibits the NLRB from ordering any employer to relocate, shut down, or transfer a business under any circumstance. The fate of the legislation is uncertain in the Senate where Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) controls which proposals make it to the floor for a vote. In another case before the NLRB, known around labor law circles as Specialty Healthcare, the NLRB scrapped decades of precedent and adopted a new definition of "employee unit" when determining which employees can join together and vote in a union election. One tactic used by unions to recruit workers is to go after smaller groups of similar employees within a larger workplace, such as cashiers in a retail setting, in order to organize the workforce in batches. The Specialty Healthcare ruling would mean fewer employees would be needed to establish a union in a workplace, and an employer could end up with multiple separate units at one site, forcing them to negotiate a different contract with each union. Unknowns As The Year Ends Finally, one open case before the NLRB that hasn't received much attention is already causing some employers to change their policies toward allowing charitable organizations to solicit on their premises. The NLRB is considering a new definition for when an employer who provides access to its workplace for charitable organizations and other solicitations has to provide equal access to union solicitations. The line of thinking goes that if a grocery store can allow the Salvation Army to collect donations in the parking lot, then union organizers should have the same access for boycotts or handbilling. The Roundy's case involves a Midwestern grocery store chain that prohibited the Milwaukee Building and Construction Trades Council, AFL– CIO, from distributing handbills at their stores. If the NLRB lowers the bar so that any solicitation triggers a union right of access, it's expected that most employers would change their policies in response, and prohibit an employee's solicitation for things such as sports fundraisers or even Girl Scout cookies. The one wild card in all of this is the make up of the NLRB itself. The Board is made up of five members, but two seats are currently vacant. The Board is able to hear and rule on cases because only three votes are necessary for a quorum. But in December, one of the current Board members, Craig Becker, will have to step down. Becker was a recess appointment by President Obama, and as such, his term expires at the end of the year. That means the Board will be without a quorum at the beginning of 2012, and its caseload will be in limbo. n Charles McCrudden is Vice President/ Government Relations for the Air Conditioning Contractors of America, www.acca.org.

Eigenmodes in a Muffler
Model ID: 8547
In this model, compute the propagating modes in the chamber of an automotive muffler. The geometry is a cross-section of the chamber in the Absorptive Muffler example.
The model's purpose is to study the shape of the propagating modes and to find their cut-off frequencies. As discussed in the documentation for the Absorptive Muffler, some of the modes significantly affect the damping of the muffler at frequencies above their cut-off. In this model, you study modes with cut-off frequencies up to 1500 Hz.
This model was built using the following:Acoustics Module

Vucciria Market Review
It's easy to see how ths market got its name—vucciria translates to "voices" or "hubbub. Palermo's most established outdoor market, in the heart of the centro storico, is a maze of side streets around Piazza San Domenico, where hawkers deliver incessant chants from behind stands brimming with mounds of olives, blood oranges, fennel, and long-stem artichokes. One hawker will be going at the trunk of a swordfish with a cleaver while across the way another holds up a giant squid or dangles an octopus. Morning is the best time to see the market in full swing.

Another Floral Wallpaper
Floral designs make up the largest grouping of wallpapers in the Museum's collection by far. Many of the gilded embossed leathers, some of the oldest wallcoverings in the collection dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries, contain repeating floral patterns and I would guess that every style and period has representative samples in the collection. While the style in which they have been rendered varies greatly over time, they have never fallen out of fashion. Talk about longevity!

The Vampire Diaries Photo Preview: A Painful Planby Matt Richenthal at .
The Salvatore brothers came up with a plan on "Pictures of You." It involved Elena, her lack of humanity and the possibility that fear may be the key to bringing it back.
On the May 2 installment of The Vampire Diaries, however, it looks like fear may be replaced by pain, as new photos released by The CW from that episode depict Stefan and Damon making Elena's life anything but comfortable.
Click through the images now and see what we mean:
Elsewhere on "She's Come Undone," look for:
- A surprising source to come to Stefan and Damon's side.
- Matt to offer advice to Rebekah.
- Katherine to grow suspicious of Bonnie.
- Caroline to have an unusual encounter with Klaus.

it's think it's so unfortunate that damon made elena turn off her humanity... only yo torture her to turn her humanity back on... then when her humanity switch is turned on, she'll have to deal with everything that has happened and everything that she's done. i mean, those guys should just leave her alone. it's all pain and suffering for elena. i hate her now. but i'm gonna be feeling really sorry for her in the next few episodes.

I ordered this watch case to give to my husband for Christmas this year - when it came in, I was so excited to give it to him (because of how awesome it is) that I gave it to him that day! The shipping was very quick and the quality is awesome. I was concerned about the case fitting large watches - they all fit perfectly so no problems or complaints at all. You will not be disappointed with this purchase.
The box was delivered on time, and was exactly as described. Very happy with the purchase, my only comment is that the freight to Australia, $35 dollars was a bit steep.
Bought this as a gift for someone who LOVES huge Invicta divers. Was very pleased to see that the his watches fit nicely into this case. And he happens to all love anything carbon fiber so I was beyond excited to find this for him:) Great product. Highly recommended!
Husband is very pleased with the quality, styling and design of the case for his watch collection. Nice wide, ample spacing for each watch. Looks classy and doesn't take up a lot of space.
I bought this case for my husband who collects fine watches. My husband just loves it!!! The quality and appearance are first class! I am very happy with it!
The watch case looks great- very sleek and love the carbon fiber pattern finish. My bf loves it but one rather big issue is that the actual watch holder foam things are a bit on the larger side and don't fit all of his watches very well (he has a skinny wrist)-- particularly his stainless steel ones.
I ordered this gift for my boyfriend who has everything and is hard to buy for and he absolutely loved it. He said he is now motivated to go through his watches and get rid of the crappy ones and put all of the nice ones in the box. He also can't wait to fill it up now! Awesome gift, definitely order it!
Everything is nice about the box�����������������...

CNN continued their long tradition of lying to the public today! During their one minute or so that they dedicate to news items other than the one or two stories they cover during any given hour, they reported about some tension in Iraq related to some British soldiers who were "rescued†by British troops. "Rescued!†They told the public that the soldiers were "rescued!!!!†This is a bold face out and out lie! The soldiers in question were arrested, shot an Iraqi police officer, were dressed up as Arabs, heavily armed, and the British troops broke them out of jail allowing 150 inmates to escape in the process!!! Can CNN possibly mislead the public any more than they have on this one news item?
CNN, the most trusted name in news? How sad a statement about the news industry is that? Think about it!

Plan Your Summit County Vacation
Summit County, a mere hour's drive from the Denver Metro Area on a straight shot up I–70, is Denver's playground. The wide-open mountain park ringed by 13,000- to 14,000-foot peaks greets westbound travelers minutes after they pop out the west portal of the Eisenhower Tunnel. The sharp-toothed Gore Range rises to the northwest and the Tenmile Range gathers up behind Breckenridge. Resting in the center of this bowl are the sapphire waters of Dillon Reservoir, an artificial lake fed by Blue River.

Alabama spent the third consecutive day practicing in the Hank Crisp Indoor Facility Wednesday. Head coach Nick Saban probably wanted to get his players used to playing on turf this week, as that's what they'll be playing on Saturday in the Georgia Dome when they take on UGA for the SEC Championship crown.
The media was granted two periods to watch practice, so here are some observations:
--Wide receiver Chris Black is working behind Kevin Norwood at the 'Z' position like he has been all week. He was in a normal jersey, but wore a harness-like brace to protect his shoulder. This week Saban said that the staff will "revisit" the decision whether to redshirt or play him now that he's been medically cleared for activity and contact. Scuttlebutt amongst the media is that he'll dress for Saturday's game, but will only see playing time if the Tide is in trouble.
He's looked quick and crisp all week, like he's ready.
--Left guard Chance Warmack, who was named to the AFCA FBS Coaches' All America Team today (along with Dee Milliner and C.J. Mosley), looked like he had a small pillow wrapped around his left hand. He said he "nicked up" his finger against Auburn and is just being extra cautious this week. You can see his heavy wrapping and watch how it doesn't affect him as he and the offensive line prepare for Georgia's defensive line, and Jarvis Jones, in the video below. (Warmack is No. 65.)
--Running back Eddie Lacy also had his hand heavily taped, but it didn't limit him, either.
--Nose guard Brandon Ivory (ankle) was again, not doing much, but it was also hard to tell during media viewing. Saban said Monday he'd be fine in two-three days.
--Athletics Director Mal Moore watched practice from the sidelines.
Saban will address the media later this evening and likely give updates on injured players heading into Atlanta.

Law students recognised by Department for Child Protection
Wednesday, 21 December 2011
Students from left to right: Megan McCormack (Murdoch), Amanda Lyons (ECU), Jaymie Barretto (ECU), Cathy Bwalya (ECU), Claire Macoboy (ECU).
On Friday 2 December 2011, Executive Director of Service Standards and Monitoring at the Department for Child Protection, Mr Steve Glew, presented a number of Law students from Edith Cowan University with Certificates of Completion.
Final year students from ECU, Murdoch and UWA have completed 14 weeks of work experience in the Department's Civil Litigation Unit. The Civil Litigation Unit acts on behalf of the CEO of the Department to conduct the legal claims of children in care.
The students received training and practical experience in many areas, including administration applications, criminal injuries compensation and guardianship.
Students were given opportunities to attend proceedings in the Children's Court, Coroner's Court, the State Administrative Tribunal and the Supreme Court of Appeal. They were able to make a significant contribution to the Department in progressing the legal claims of over 40 children in care.
ECU Law students Amanda Lyons, Jaymie Barretto, Cathy Bwalya and Claire Macoboy were among the eight students who were presented with Certificates of Completion.
This is the fourth program that ECU students have been involved in. The next program is due to start in March 2012.

Campus and Community Resources
There are many different places to get support, both in and outside of the University. Below is a list of people and places that can help:
Gonzaga's Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) First Responders: First Responders are available to assist the reporting party with immediate and short-term needs. SART Responders are trained to respond to incidents of sexual misconduct and are available to meet with friends or family members of the reporting party who also may seek assistance or support immediately after an event. SART First Responders will connect reporting parties who want ongoing support, resources, and information about Gonzaga judicial options to the Student Life Case Manager. You can speak anonymously to a SART member by calling 509-313-2222 and declining to give your name. For more information about SART, click on the link on the left.
Student Life Case Manager: The Student Life Case Manager provides ongoing support for reporting parties while also serving as a liaison to various other university resources that can help reporting parties remain in control after an incident. The Case Manager is available during normal business hours and will meet reporting parties in a safe and comfortable location. The Case Manager can help make accommodations and provide support in various areas including with on campus housing and academic options, explaining university judicial processes, aiding students in filing reports with law enforcement or Campus Public Safety and Security, and connecting a student to on and off campus resources. To speak with the Student Life Case Manager, call 509-313-4175 (ext: 4175).
Spokane's Community Advocates: SAFeT (Sexual Assault and Family Trauma Center) community advocates offer crisis intervention, information and referrals, legal advocacy and support services for all crime victims and their friends and family members. SAFeT Advocates can assist with Crime Victims Compensation which may pay for a hospital emergency visit and testing. It is important to note that talking with a Community Advocate is not the same thing as making a report with the University. Community Advocates are completely independent of the University and do not provide information disclosed to them to the University. Call 624-7273 or check out their website at: http://www.lcsnw.org/spokane/safet.html
Alternatives to Domestic Violence Program (ADVP) : ADVP is the only state recognized domestic violence service program in Spokane County. The program supports and advocates for victims who are experiencing abuse and violence in their relationships. This program provides a confidential safe shelter for women and children, transitional housing for 20 families, individual and group counseling, legal representation and advocacy. ADVAP has a 24 hour help line available by calling 509-326-2255 (509-326-CALL), Visit their website by visiting: http://www.ywca.org/site/pp.asp?c=cjITI8PHKoG&b=727219
Medical Care: If medical care is needed after an incident these procedures should be considered as soon as possible.
- Sexual Assault medical examination, sometimes called a "rape kit" to collect potential evidence for a criminal complaint (provided only by a trained examiner in a hospital) Local hospitals with trained medical examiners include:
Sacred Heart Medical Center
101 8th Ave
Spokane, WA 99204
Deaconess Medical Center
800 W. 5th Ave
Spokane, WA 99204
- STD and HIV testing (available through the University Health Center or another off-campus provider)
- Pregnancy testing (available through the University Health Center or another off-campus provider)
Health care concerns related to the incident may be discussed with the hospital emergency staff, your own private physician or the University Health Center staff, who can also provide referrals to off-campus providers. Please know that the collection of evidence does not mean that you have to press charges, but may preserve that option. For the most accurate collection of evidence, getting medical attention immediately is recommended. Gonzaga's Switchboard (509-328-4220) can arrange for no cost transportation to a local hospital.
Emotional Needs: Individuals who have experienced sexual misconduct are encouraged to obtain help from a professional counselor and/or support group. GU's Counseling Center Staff (313-4054, ext: 4054) is available to meet with students by appointment, or in some cases on short-notice. Off-campus counseling independent of the University may be arranged through a SAFeT advocate (624-7273), First Call For Help (838-4428) or through a referral from the GU Counseling Center.
Academic and Living Arrangements: A reporting party may request a change in academic or living situation after a report of sexual misconduct or harassment. Upon request the University will inform the reporting party of the options and will acaccommodate the request if those changes are reasonably available. In some cases the University may initiate these changes without a request.
Safe Transportation: Campus Public Safety & Security will provide escorts on and near campus (to and from residences in the immediate neighborhood) upon request by calling 509-313-2222 (ext: 2222). During the school year the "SafeRide" program (509-568-6000) provides students a free cab ride if they find themselves in a situation which their personal safety or well-being is compromised.
Retaliation: Although extreme emotions and stress may be involved in these incidents, the University does not condone any person on either side of the incident engaging in any type of retaliation and views complaints of retaliation with great seriousness. Retaliation may include continued abuse or violence, other harassment, and slander and libel. This conduct may be by the accused or others. A reporting party is strongly encouraged to report any concerns about retaliation to Campus Public Safety & Security or the Student Life office. Violations will be handled in accordance with this policy and the University's Behavioral Expectations.
Privacy Concerns: Students who have experienced sexual misconduct are often concerned about their privacy. At higher education institutions, FERPA is a federal law that guides how student's information is protected and released. Students who are concerned about unwanted persons locating them or who may have other privacy concerns should consider making their Gonzaga records confidential. To do this, students should stop by the Registrar's Office located in College Hall 229 and fill out simple paperwork that will keep all student records confidential. Please see the Registrar's Office Confidentiality of Records policy regarding "Directory Information" for more information about this.

Before jailbreaking and unlocking my new (old bootloader) 3GS I thought it would probably be a good idea to save the shsh files I could see on cydia.
The previous owner must have pushed the "make my life easier" button, so I could see the firmware 3.1.3, 4.0,4.01, 4.2b3, in green letters on top of cydia.
So I just ran tiny umbrella and connected the iPhone, just pushed the "save shsh" button and a few minutes later I could see the saved firmware versions.
my questions:
1. where is version 3.1.2 ?
when I checked the iphone it said 3.1.2 is the current firmware.
But it was not on the cydia green writing list!
I can still install 3.1.2 over pwnage and keep the other shsh files as backup, right?
2. Now that I have saved the shsh files on tinyumbrella, does that mean I can up and downgrade between the saved firmware versions as I like and without upgrading baseband?
3. Are the saved tiny umbrella shsh files (over cydia) already jailbroken?
Or would I have to use pwnage tool on them for jailbreak and activation?

Lions-Edmonton Eskimos game this Friday, TSN will be airing a feature on Eskimos Mike Maurer and Adam Braidwood who are both MFC fighters. Both will discuss their passion for mixed martial arts, their training, how the Eskimos have reacted to their desire to fight and their future in the sport of MMA.
Also, MFC owner/president Mark Pavelich is interviewed and gives his enthusiastic take on what lies ahead for Maurer and Braidwood in the Maximum Fighting Championship. Adding to the action of the feature, both Maurer and Braidwood are shown in sparring with MFC fighters Jason The Athlete MacDonald and Victor The Matrix Valimaki.
The show will be originally broadcast in prime time at 8:30 p.m. Eastern /6:30 p.m. Mountain/5:30 p.m. Pacific. It will also be repeated at 10 p.m. Eastern/8 p.m. Mountain/7 p.m. Pacific and at 2 a.m. Eastern/Midnight Mountain/11 p.m. Pacific on SportsCentre.

Maurer, who fights in the light heavyweight division, has the athleticism and ferocious nature to go far in the MMA world.
Braidwood, who is trained by UFC/Shooto veteran Lance Gibson, is also set to fight in February for the MFC. Braidwood, the No. 1 pick in the 2006 CFL Canadian College Draft from the Washington State Cougars, has drawn rave reviews from Mr. Gibson who believes the six-foot-four, 275-pounder could be a heavyweight superstar in the making.

'Bag It' Director Premieres New Work at Mountainfilm
TELLURIDE – From dominant local news story to world premiere at Mountainfilm, the controversy around a proposed uranium mill 50 miles upwind of Telluride has now become a documentary film by Suzan Beraza, acclaimed director of Bag It.
Uranium Drive-In takes a look, from both sides, at the conundrums involved: jobs versus environment, hardscrabble West End versus resort-wealthy East End. The film, which takes its name from a legendary movie-theatre sign in the community of Naturita, where the film is set, revolves around the proposed Piñon Ridge Uranium Mill in the Paradox Valley, and the opposition to the mill by a Telluride-based environmental group, versus the feelings of many in Naturita, and neighboring Nucla, who are desperate for jobs and the economic recovery they believe a mill would bring. At bottom, it is an emotional tug of war between two groups of people, two cultures – one fixated on the dangers a uranium mill would pose to the natural world, and the other equally focused on putting food on the table. (As one Naturita resident put it of her town's economic decline, "It's almost like we're still surviving, but it's kinda just like those last few breaths. We wanna keep breathing, but we've gotta get something in here to do it.")
The contrast between the two points of view was as simple as that. Or so it seemed to director Beraza before she picked up her camera and investigated, and was surprised to find nothing simple about this at all.
Beraza lives in Telluride, and had followed the controversy surrounding the mill for some time. "It was happening so close by," she said. "Living in Telluride, the thought about the mill was, it's a really bad idea. I was curious to know why." When the director arrived in Naturita and began interviewing residents, she found, "like so many things," answers "were not clear cut." In that sense, she said, making Bag It was simpler. So was its message: "We use too many disposable plastic bags. We know that," she said. Uranium, by contrast, turned out to be less about the science, and more about the emotions. Beraza hadn't originally intended it that way, but that was what she found. "As a filmmaker, you want to come up with a solution," she said. "But once you dive in and get involved, you realize the faces on the other side of this are human." Beraza found the contrast between the story she thought she had and the one she got compelling and surprising, "definitely different from what we expected."
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment recently approved the radioactive materials license for Energy Fuels, Inc., the Canadian company that seeks to develop the Piñon Ridge Mill. All that remains is a CDPHE air quality permit before development can begin. The timing of Mountainfilm and her movie's debut "is really an amazing coincidence" given Energy Fuels' recent license approval, Beraza said. (She tried several times to interview the company's CEO, but the firm declined.)
Making Uranium was a learning experience, one the director is eager to repeat. "When you start, you have a sense of what you think you're going to make, but no idea of where you may ultimately end up," she said. "Obviously, you can't be completely clueless" about how a film will progress, "but you also have to be open to the fact that the journey may take you where you didn't expect, and that's the place you need to go." Thus the difference between an exposé, such as Bag It, and a classic documentary, which seeks not only to convey a message but to present several sides of a story. Documentary making "is a great lesson in improvisation," Beraza summed up. Like being a good reporter. Uranium Drive-In screens at the Palm this Saturday, May 25 at 6:15 p.m., and again on Sunday, May 26 at 12:15 p.m. The director will be on hand following both showings to answer questions.

The ATA over Ethernet Tools are intended for use in conjunction with an ATA over Ethernet (AoE) driver for a Linux 2.6 kernel, called "aoe". The tools perform simple tasks like listing available devices, triggering device discovery, and restricting the network interfaces on which AoE is performed.
The Heirloom Toolchest is a collection of standard Unix utilities. It was derived from original Unix material released as open source by Caldera and Sun, and contains multiple versions of each utility corresponding to SVID3/SVR4, SVID4/SVR4.2MP, POSIX.2-1992/SUSV2, POSIX.1-2001/SUSV3, and 4BSD (SVR4 /usr/ucb). It processes lines of arbitrary length and in many cases binary input data, supports characters in UTF-8 and many East Asian encodings, and contains more than 100 individual utilities including bc, cpio, diff, ed, file, find, grep, man, nawk, oawk, pax, ps, sed, sort, spell, and tar. Extensive documentation is included.
Werc is a minimalistic RESTful Web application framework and content management system. It follows the Unix "tool philosophy" and it is designed to be fast, simple, convenient, and easily extensible. It handles both small and big sites and has a flexible system for user and group permissions. All data is stored in plain text files that can be easily manipulated with standard tools, without using any databases or other external dependencies. Existing applications include a blogging engine with RSS/Atom feeds, a wiki system that can easily integrate pre-existing documents (can be enabled for any directory tree), and others.
runawk is a small wrapper for the AWK interpreter that helps one write standalone AWK scripts. Its main feature is to provide a module/library system for AWK which is somewhat similar to Perl's "use" command. It also allows one to select a preferred AWK interpreter and to set up the environment for AWK scripts. Dozens of ready for use [modules].awk are also provided.
basE91 is an advanced method for encoding binary data as ASCII characters. It is similar to UUencode or base64, but is more efficient. The overhead produced by basE91 depends on the input data. It amounts at most to 23% (versus 33% for base64) and can range down to 14%, which typically occurs on 0-byte blocks. This makes basE91 very useful for transferring larger files over binary unsafe connections like e-mail or terminal lines.
gtkdialog is a GUI creation utility that can be used with an arbitrary interpreter. It enables the programmer to describe a graphical user interface in a simple XML language, and create callbacks with any interpreter that supports either files, standard I/O, or environment variables. It can be called as an external program from the interpreter, but can be used as a stand-alone framework for the application as well. Stand-alone, bash, and awk examples are provided.
Additional Netfilter/iptables modules.

Click here to access full coverage of DLA Piper in The Lawyer UK 200 2013. Featuring the UK's leading law firms ranked by turnover, as well as extensive benchmarking data, the report is a comprehensive market intelligence resource for the UK legal sector.
With 4,200 lawyers located in more than 30 countries throughout the Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe and the Middle East, DLA Piper is one of the world's largest law firms.
It has been a successful year for the firm, being ranked as the biggest law firm in the world on a number of global league tables, including The Lawyer's UK 200. DLA Piper hit the top of the table for the first time in 2011 following The Lawyer's decision to take into account the global turnover of all firms, regardless of how profit was shared across offices.
Global co-CEO Sir Nigel Knowles put the growth in global turnover down to the firm's global nature, allowing certain international businesses to instruct DLA Piper across all practice areas and locations.
In terms of the breakdown of revenue across the firm, litigation and regulation and the corporate practice together brought in more than half of the global revenue last year. Corporate contributed exactly a quarter of income in the UK and was just one percentage point lower globally, while litigation and regulation chipped in 37 and 38 per cent of turnover in the UK and globally respectively.
The intellectual property and technology, employment and restructuring practices are not to be underestimated, together coming in as the third biggest income generator at 14 per cent of turnover globally and in the UK. The rest splits equally between the finance and projects practice and property, which both turn over 12 per cent each.
DLA Piper was one of the first law firms to make its way into the South Korean capital. Seoul joins the ranks of existing DLA Piper Asia outposts in Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Bangkok and Singapore.
DLA Piper's regional strategy is to promote and be led by a strong corporate and finance offering, aligned with the litigation and regulatory practice. Supporting those key prongs are employment, intellectual property and technology, real estate, restructuring and tax.

"Making It New: The Art and Style of Sara & Gerald Murphy," at the Williams College Museum of Art, in Williamstown, Massachusetts, is an immensely satisfying show about fine, complicated people who loved life in exemplary ways, in superb company, and suffered misfortune. It is also an art show that centers on seven paintings by Gerald, all that remain of the fourteen he is known to have made in the nineteen-twenties. (The others were lost, owing largely to his own indifference.) In addition, there is work by Picasso, Léger, Gris, and other modern masters whom the Murphys befriended, supported, and, at times, inspired. Without it, tales of Gerald and Sara, moderately wealthy and irrepressibly sociable Jazz Age American expatriates in France, would be mainly deluxe gossip, filtered through their friend F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Tender Is the Night," in which they figure as the charismatic Dick and Nicole Diver. Their story was vivified by Calvin Tomkins in his 1962 New Yorker Profile and later book, "Living Well Is the Best Revenge," and by Amanda Vaill in her 1998 biography, "Everybody Was So Young." Tomkins and Vaill are among the ten essayists in the show's catalogue, who, led by the curator Deborah Rothschild, neglect no aspect of Murphyana, including the long-veiled sidelight of Gerald's homosexuality. Usually, I'm unbeguiled by the rich and glamorous, and I attended "Making It New" in a resisting mood. Then I looked.
Gerald's paintings are a gold standard that backs, with creative integrity, the paper money of the couple's legend. He started by assisting on sets for Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, with quick lessons from the painter Natalia Goncharova. His work consists of crisply hard-edged, cunningly composed, subtly colored, semi-abstract pictures of machinery, common objects, architectural fragments, and, in a disturbing final image, a wasp battening on a pear. Numerous influences are plain, but Gerald jumped ahead of his time with a laconic style that was prescient of big-scale abstraction and of Pop art. (If one of the lost paintings, "Boatdeck"—a sensation at the 1924 Salon des Indépendants, in Paris—had survived, it surely would be an icon of modernism. Eighteen feet high by twelve wide, it billboarded transatlantic cultural intercourse with a tremendous image of ocean-liner structures.) "Watch" (1925), depicting clockwork, achieves a spankingly representational translation of Cubism. "Razor" (1924), which monumentalizes a safety razor, a fountain pen, and a matchbox, might enable future archeologists to reimagine the essential theory and practice of modern art, should every other example perish. It is by a man who wasn't really an artist.
Gerald's father owned Mark Cross, the luxury-goods business; Sara's was a printing magnate. Gerald's family was Irish Catholic, from Boston; Sara's a union of Norwegian and pedigreed American, from Illinois. They met at a party in East Hampton, in 1904, when she was twenty-one and he sixteen. Friendship became romance after his graduation from Yale, where he was popular but unhappy. She seems to have taken in stride his confessed attraction to men, which he strove to suppress. They married in 1915 and soon had a girl and two boys. Gerald volunteered for military service not quite in time to fight in the First World War. He then studied landscape architecture at Harvard. William James, Jr., the son of the philosopher, painted Sara's portrait—an astonishingly lovely and telling picture, which is in the show. In June of 1921, the culturally ambitious Murphys decamped for England. By September, they were in Paris, where they found old friends, notably Cole Porter, and plunged into circles of the avant-garde, primarily that of the Russians around Diaghilev and Stravinsky. Picasso, having married the ballerina Olga Khokhlova, was a frequent presence. To celebrate the première of Stravinsky's ballet "Les Noces," in 1923, Gerald and Sara threw a fabled all-night party on a barge on the Seine. The same year, Gerald and Porter collaborated on a riotously successful jazz ballet, "Within the Quota," a burlesque on American culture.
Porter and his wife, Linda, had introduced the Murphys to Antibes, a resort where, at the time, few people stayed in the summer. In 1923, they bought a seaside chalet, dubbed Villa America, and helped to change that. They hosted the Picassos and close to everybody else who counted in adventurous art and literature. American visitors included Man Ray, Archibald MacLeish, Dorothy Parker, Robert Benchley, and, of most consequence, Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway. (For the atmospherics of Villa America, consult the incandescent opening pages of "Tender Is the Night.") Anecdotes abound. Questions linger. Did Picasso bed Sara? That sturdy rumor is probably untrue, though the artist was smitten, as were many other men. Sara's features are suggested in certain of his "neoclassical" paintings—"Woman Seated in an Armchair" (1923) gives dazzling evidence in the show—but Picasso was on a break, at the time, from being obsessed with particular women. His masterpiece involving the Murphys, "The Pipes of Pan" (1923), was based on a photograph of himself clowning on the beach with a stiffly posing Gerald.
Two things intrigue me in accounts of the Murphys' conduct. One is how effectively Gerald concealed his sexual ambivalence. Even his sophisticated intimates Fitzgerald and Hemingway seem uncertain, though Hemingway had occasion to deplore a shifty unreliability, compounded of guilt and fear, at Gerald's core. (His gradual disaffection became outright cruelty in "A Moveable Feast," where he sneered at "the understanding rich.") Also striking is the fact that Gerald and Sara collected only American folk art. The abnegation bespeaks a will to remain participants in, rather than patrons of, the creative life. Their expressive means included decorative flair (white walls and black satin in the villa) and wit (Sara wore her pearls to the beach because, she explained, they wanted sunning). Rothschild writes that Gerald "meticulously planned, intellectualized, and expended great effort in order to make each moment a beautiful event."
