Academic Standing Committee records, Conduct code violation findings, ADA accommodation records and disability documentation.
Education Records do not include private notes, memorandums, etc., from instructors, committees, staff members, or others associated or employed by UNH Law.
B. Right of Access
Students have the right to inspect, review, and copy their education records with the exception of:
1. Items for which the student has specifically waived the right to inspect (e.g. confidential letters of recommendation).
2. Confidential letters or statements placed in the file before January 1975.
3. Financial payment records or other financial information of the student's parents.
4. That portion of a record which includes information on other students.
C. Procedure
To exercise the right to review education records, a student requests in writing of the custodian of the record the right to see it. Otherwise, a student may make a request in writing to the Assistant Dean of Students, specifying the particular record (s)he wishes to inspect. Priority will be given to making records available to the student as soon as possible, but in no case later than ten days after the request has been made.
UNH Law reserves the right to have a school official present during inspection or review of education records by a student.
D. Copies of Education Records
Generally, a student has a right to a copy of an education record. UNH Law may charge a fee commensurate with the cost of copying. UNH Law may deny a request for a copy of a record if it contains information about another student or if the information was supplied by a third party. An example is a transcript from a degree conferring institution.
III. Privacy of Education Records
A. General Rule
A student's written consent is generally required before any information from his/her records can be disclosed to any individual, agency, or organization. The written consent must be signed, dated, and must specify (a) the records to be released; (b) the reasons for release; and (c) the person to whom the records are to be disclosed. The exceptions to the general rule requiring written consent are as follows:
1. Disclosure to School Officials with Legitimate Educational Interest.
UNH Law may disclose personally identifiable information from education records without the written consent of the student if the disclosure is to UNH Law officials with a legitimate education interest in the information. 45 C.F.R. § 99.31(a)(1)(1978).
For purposes of this policy, UNH Law officials are considered to be senior administrative personnel who have custody of the records in question, their immediate staff, and the Dean, or Assistant Dean of Students. Other UNH Law employees, including instructors, may be designated by the Dean, or Assistant Dean of Students as a UNH Law official with legitimate educational interest in the information. There is deemed to be a "legitimate educational interest" in personally identifiable information when (1) the information is needed by administrative personnel for the completion of their assigned duties, or (2) the information would assist a professor in his/her responsibility to teach the student or to complete committee or other assignments.
2. Disclosure of Directory Information
At its discretion, UNH School of Law may provide directory information in accordance with the provisions of FERPA. Directory information is defined as that information which would not generally be considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed. Designated directory information at UNH School of Law includes the following: student's name, address, telephone listing, electronic mail address, photograph, date and place of birth, major field of study, dates of attendance, grade level, enrollment status (program of study, full time or part-time), degrees, honors and awards received, and the most recent educational agency or institution attended. Students may block the public disclosure of directory information (all or in part) by notifying the Office of the Registrar in writing.
Please consider very carefully the consequences of a decision to withhold directory information. A non-disclosure block will call for UNH School of Law not to release any or all of this directory information, thus, any future requests for such information from non-institutional persons or organizations will be refused.
UNH School of Law will honor your request to withhold directory information but cannot assume responsibility to contact you for subsequent permission to release this information. Regardless of the effect upon you, the UNH School of Law assumes no liability as a result of honoring your instructions that such information be withheld.
Although the initial request may be filed at any time, request for non-disclosure will be honored by UNH School of Law until removed, in writing, by the student.
3. Disclosure Required by Subpoena or Statute
UNH Law may disclose personally identifiable information from education records if the disclosure is required by judicial order, by a state statute adopted prior to November 19, 1974, or in connection with the audit of a federally supported education program by authorized government officials. UNH Law must make a good-faith effort to notify a student that such information will be released prior to its disclosure pursuant to judicial order.
4. Disclosure in Case of Emergency
UNH Law may disclose personally identifiable information from education records to the appropriate parties if knowledge of the information is necessary to protect the health or safety of the student or other individuals.
B. Statement Required with Disclosures
In all cases where UNH Law discloses personally identifiable information from education records without the written consent of the student, the following statement must accompany each disclosure:
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 prohibits redisclosure of this information without the prior written permission of the individual to whom it pertains except that it may be disclosed to the officers, employees, and agents of the party to whom it has been released but only for the purposes for which it was released.
C. Record of Disclosure
UNH Law is required to maintain a record of the disclosures and requests for disclosures of personally identifiable information from the education records of each student. The record is to be made by the custodian of the record from which the information is released and is to be kept with and becomes a part of the student's other education records. The record shall indicate the parties who have requested or received such information, the date of the disclosure or request, and the legitimate interest these parties had in requesting or obtaining the information.
The record is not required to disclose requests or disclosures in the following circumstances:
1. when made by or to the student;
2. when there is written consent of the student for disclosure;
3. when the information requested or disclosed is directory information;
4. when the request or disclosure has been made by or to a UNH Law official with a legitimate educational interest in the information.
IV. Amendment of Education Records
A student who believes that information contained in his or her education records is inaccurate or misleading or violates the privacy or other rights of the student, may request that UNH Law amend them.
A request is to be made by filing a written statement with the Assistant Dean of Students Office setting forth the portion of the record disputed and the specific correction(s) or deletion(s) the student wishes to be made.
A committee composed of the Dean, or Assistant Dean of Students, a faculty member, and the custodian of the record shall decide whether to amend the education records in accordance with the request within a thirty day period after the receipt of the request. If the committee denies the request for the change, the student shall promptly be informed of the denial and advised of his or her right to a hearing, which will be conducted in accordance with 45 C.F.R. §99.22 (1978). A student does not have the right to a hearing on matters of academic judgment.
If the hearing decision upholds the denial, the student shall be informed of his/her right to place a statement in the education records commenting upon the information and/or setting forth any reasons for disagreeing with the decision. If the education record of the student is later disclosed by UNH Law to any party, the explanation provided by the student shall also be disclosed.
UNH Law reserves the right to make routine and/or minor changes in students' education records without the formal procedure of a committee meeting or hearing.

Its simple to use, high quality construction and comes with a lot of parts, extras and available options. I keep mine under the sink in the bathroom of my apartment and pull it out when I need it. I screw it onto the sink and make water for about an hour before I put it away. My roommates now use it to make water for their terrarium and have been using it to make fresh espresso!

Great system By Corey on 6/24/13 Corey would recommend this product to a friend This has been a great system. I make about 30 gals of RO/DI water each week.

Love it By Charles on 6/12/13 Charles would recommend this product to a friend I purchased this as I was tired of driving 30 minutes and paying for my water. It was very easy to set up and use.

At 75gpd this makes water at a perfect rate for my needs (30g cube), a 5g bucket for water change and another for top off through out the week. Probably only takes less than an hour and a half to make 5g worth. Everything came very well packaged, with good instructions, all I had to do was hook it up to the hose bib. It took less than 2 minutes. Write Your Own Review You're reviewing: BRS 4 Stage Value PLUS RO/DI System - 75GPD *How do you rate this product? *Would you recommend this product to a friend?

Moor or Less
6:25 AM EST, November 25, 2012
My buddy John's face lit up as if he had just made a 25-foot putt out on his favorite golf course.
"Oh, golly," he said as he twirled his new possessions through his fingers. "Oh, golly."
If he had said "Oh, golly," one more time, I would have punched him — at least hard in the upper arm. I had just handed him a couple of ball markers that my brother-in-law had sent over from Scotland.
These were a little special for an avid golfer like John, I guess. They came from The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews with this famous course's insignia stamped on them.
OK, for you non-golfers, a ball marker is a flat object — usually circular — and about the size of a small coin. It is used to mark a golf ball's location when the ball is lifted from the putting green, often so as not to impede another golfer's shot. (Hey, my wife didn't know.)
John is a guy who carries around a ball marker in his pocket like I did with a buckeye when I was as a kid. I did it for good luck. "I don't do it for good luck, though," John admitted. "I just like having one in my pocket."
He's a weird dude but most of my friends are. I asked him what he would do with them. "I'll give them a baptism out on the course and then I'll put them in with my collection (of ball markers)," he said.
Yes, he has a ball marker collection in a nice little glass case. I guess it is a tidier hobby than collecting divots he has taken with his five-iron.
I am always amazed at the enthusiasm in which some people pursue their little collections and how much they mean to them. I have a sister-in-law who collects all kinds of pink piggies. Another friend has a great collection of frogs of all textures — metallic, glass and rubber. Then there was my one fraternity brother who kept a jar of belly-button lint — I think most of it was his own.
I'm sure you know people — maybe you are one of them — who collect coffee mugs or shot glasses at different vacation destinations.
I remember when my mom took me to the movie, "The Long, Long Trailer" starring Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz and how she collected a rock from each of the 50 states while touring the U.S. in a trailer. Of course, they couldn't make it through the Sierra Nevada Mountains with all that weight until "Ricky" had to toss the rocks over the cliff.
On my own recent journeys as a travel host, I have watched a lovely woman named Thelma collect thimbles in Britain to add to her vast collection. (Thelma and her thimbles — I love that alliteration) We had to wait on the bus in Wyoming until Marsha bought a saucer set — she gets one in every state she visits. At Gettysburg this September, Carol got up early so she could buy another miniature cannon to add to the ones she and husband Jerry already have on their mantle back home.
Nice traditions.
But didn't most of us (at least the guys) collect baseball cards as kids and then moved on?
Well, maybe I didn't. You should see the great baseball cards I have from 1959 — including all the Cubs — that I've collected in recent years.
I guess I'm no different than John and his ball markers. Well, maybe a little different. At least I don't kiss my baseball cards.

I program/model as a hobby, and my interests are broad. Recently, I wanted to try making a simple, graphical game. I started with Pacman. Using Visual Studio 2010's C# Express IDE and the DirectX SDK, I succeeded. Now I want to try to create a simple 3D environment with an avatar that I can move around.
My question is, what does a 3D Engine do for me that DirectX SDK and 3Ds MAX cannot? I downloaded and signed up for the Free Trial of www.visual3d.net and, at first glance, found that it looks like a difficult-to-navigate version of 3Ds MAX. I'm sure I'm missing something in how this makes creating a 3D application easier than a from-scratch approach.
The use of a 3D Engine with development has been clouded in my brain, as the only description (I only searched as far as Wikipedia :p) for these engine's are: A set of tools to assist in creating 3D applications.
Theoretically, couldn't I just create all my objects and landscapes in 3Ds MAX, use the DirectX SDK to render everything and then program the logic & control?
Thank you.

Dembot: A Refutation To Jason Calacanis' Critique Of YouTube or, Why YouTube is Not A Bad Deal For Creators -
In response to I ain't gonna work on YouTube's farm no more, I am in the same camp as Jason with an ultimate goal of owning and controlling as much of my own company as possible. But I think Jason is in a different position as a venture capitalist when he rejects YouTube funding….
'Double Rainbow' by Dan Lydersen
A lawsuit was filed on April 22nd accusing Warner Brothers and 5th Cell Media of willfully infringing against Nyan Cat and Keyboard Cat copyrights and trademarks. Charles Schmidt (Keyboard Cat) and Christopher Torres (Nyan Cat) believe they own the memes which they claim were willfully misappropriated, appearing in multiple versions and marketing materials of the hit game Scribblenauts.
The claim argues that the WB logo is also "a meme, even though it is only two letters inside the outline of a shield. Of course, WB employs an army of lawyers who use trademark and copyright law to zealously protect its intellectual property, including its logo." Schmidt and Torres also note that other companies have paid them licensing fees in the past.
The suit is claiming damages in excess of $75,000 and could easily cost both the plaintiffs and defendants several hundred thousand dollars to take the case to the end. Rocketboom reached out to Brad O'Farrel who was largely responsible for the Keyboard Cat's rise to fame (and has also contributed as a writer to some of Rocketboom's best episodes) to get his opinion on the case. "I signed the rights over to Charlie so it has little to do with me." When pressed for an opinion: "I don't really have an opinion on it either."
UPDATE: Rocketboom reached out to plaintiff Chris Torres and received the following response:
TORRES: Whew, this has just been one big mess of a situation. I think the worst part about it all are the people that don't know how copyright/trademark even work and are attacking us for this, when we are doing it just to protect our intellectual rights. In terms of Nyan Cat, I'm in legal agreements with the owner of the song and even with the lady who uploaded the video on YouTube.
ROCKETBOOM: Have you ever issued a cease and desist on these copyrights before?
TORRES: Yes, we've sent out DMCAs to companies before, but it's usually only a last resort situation when the company doesn't want to work with us..
It's one thing to have fan art of it, or to use it noncommercially . I love it when people do that sort of stuff, and essentially, that's how memes are memes to begin with. Totally all for it. However, it's not cool when a large corporation with their own IPs take it and make money from it without approval from the creator. I am just one graphics artist, my art is how I make a living.
The Internet has this general mentality where "if it's on the Internet, it's free-reign", especially with memes. Some sites even take your photographs, art, etc, slap a watermark on them, and rake in ad revenue, while creators don't see a single penny. However, in the end, somebody owns that property. Putting a copyright and trademark on our work is just a way to protect ourselves from situations like this. Even though all art is protected, you don't get taken serious unless you have legal papework for it. You don't see companies even making slight resemblances to big corporation characters like Mickey Mouse or Hello Kitty!
ROCKETBOOM: Has anybody else ever infringed on nyan cat to this degree?
TORRES: I'm not really sure, but this is definitely the first time it's been on
news sites like this.
ROCKETBOOM: Were you able to engage in any negotiations with WB prior to issuing the complaint?
TORRES: Yes, when I first saw that Nyan Cat was being used in their recent Unlimited title, I was actually really upset. I actually had Kia Kamran, my attorney, reached out to engage in an amicable resolution. However, we were disrespected and snubbed aside. The representative for the company even went out to call this a "nuisance". Getting into a legal dispute is definitely not something I ever want to do unless we don't have a choice.

Phelps and Gorham Purchase
The Phelps and Gorham Purchase was the purchase in 1788 of 6,000,000 acres (24,000 km2) of land in what is now western New York State from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for $1,000,000 (£300,000) to be paid in three annual installments, and the pre-emptive right to the title on the land from the Native Americans for $5000 (£12,500). A syndicate formed by Oliver Phelps and Nathaniel Gorham bought preemptive rights to 6,000,000-acre (24,000 km2) in New York, west of Seneca Lake between Lake Ontario and the Pennsylvania border, from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Phelps and Gorham then negotiated with Indians to obtain clear title from the Indians for the entire parcel, but were only able to get the title to the lands east of the Genesee River. Within a year, monetary values rose and in combination with poor sales, the syndicate was unable to make the second of three payments for the land west of the Genesse River, forcing them to default on exercising the remainder of the purchase agreement. They were also forced to sell at a discount much of the land they had already bought title to but had not yet re-sold to U.S. Senator and financier Robert Morris. In some references to the purchase, the Phelps and Gorham Purchase refers only to the 2,250,000 acres (9,100 km2) on which Phelps and Gorham were able to extinguish the Indian's aboriginal title.

Origins and background[edit]
The land south of Lake Ontario had been historically occupied by the original Native American people including the Onondaga and Oneida tribes who lived near the eastern edge of the region, closer to their namesake lakes, Lake Oneida and Onondaga Lake. The Cayuga and Seneca nations lived towards the center of the region, and the Mohawk were the easternmost Iroquois tribe. Archaeological evidence suggests that Iroquois ancestors lived in the Finger Lakes region from at least 1000[clarification needed].[1]
During colonial times, many other tribes moved to the Finger Lakes region, seeking the protection of the Iroquois. In about 1720, the Tuscarora tribe arrived in the Finger Lakes region. In 1753 remnants of several Virginia Siouan tribes, collectively called the Tutelo-Saponi, moved to the town of Coreorgonel at the south end of Cayuga Lake near present-day Ithaca, until 1779 when their village was destroyed. Major Iroquois towns in the Finger Lakes region included the Seneca town of Gen-nis-he-yo (present-day Geneseo), Kanadaseaga (Seneca Castle, near present-day Geneva), Goiogouen (Cayuga Castle, east of Cayuga Lake), Chonodote (Cayuga town, present-day Aurora), and Catherine's Town (near present-day Watkins Glen).
In response to European colonization, the Iroquois formed a decentralized political and diplomatic Iroquois Confederacy. As one of the most powerful Indian nations during colonial times, the Iroquois were able to prevent European colonization of the Finger Lakes region for nearly two centuries after first contact.
The French colonized the region beginning in 1608 with the founding of Quebec. When Samuel de Champlain explored the St. Lawrence River, he claimed the region included Western New York, which formed a portion of French Canada and remained so until 1759.[2]
During the American Revolutionary War, colonists sympathetic to the rebels suffered tremendously under the attacks of Indians loyal to the Tory cause.[3] Many of the Iroguois tribes in western New York, including the Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida, Mohawk and Tuscarora, disliked the colonists encroaching into their territory, which roughly comprised the Allegheny, Genesee, Upper Susquehanna and Chemung River basins. The Iroquois nations allied themselves with the British and repeatedly raided American settlements and villages in Western New York and along the Susquehanna.[3]
The colonists were angry and hungry for retaliation. In response, on July 31, 1779, Gen. George Washington ordered Gen. James Clinton and Gen. John Sullivan to march from Wyoming, near present-day Wilkes-Barre, to the Finger Lakes area of New York. The campaign mobilized 6200 Colonial troops, about 25% of the entire rebel army.[4] Their orders were to "destroy all Indian villages and crops belonging to the six nations, to engage the Indian and Tory marauders under Brandt and Butler whenever possible, and to drive them so far west that future raids would be impossible."[3] Sullivan led his army on an expedition with the goal of subduing the Indians in the region. Although they did not kill many Native Americans, they devastated the Cayuga and Iroquois homelands, destroying 40 villages, including major Cayuga villages such as Cayuga Castle and Chonodote (Peachtown), including their surrounding fields; destroying at least 160,000 bushels of corn along "with a vast quantity of vegetables of every kind"[4] in the area from Albany to Niagara. They denied both the Indians and the British food needed to sustain their war effort and forced the formerly self-sufficient Indians to gather at and rely upon the British at Fort Niagara for sustenance. They were soon decimated by famine and disease, which took thousands of their lives, and they were never again a factor in the war. The expedition did wonders for the Continental Army's previously low morale.[3]
Sullivan's army took a southerly route to western New York through northeast Pennsylvania which required them to cut a new road through lightly inhabited areas of the Pocono Mountains (known today as "Sullivan's Trail"). When the troops returned, they told very favorable stories of the land.[3]
Treaty of Hartford[edit]
Following the American Revolution, there remained a confusing collection of contradictory royal charters from James I, Charles I, and Charles II, mixed with a succession of treaties with the Dutch and with the Indians, which made the legal situation intractable.[5] Western New York was eligible for settlement as soon as New York and Massachusetts reached a compromise settling their competing claims for the region. This occurred in December 1786 with the signing of the Treaty of Hartford. With the treaty, Massachusetts ceded its claim to the government, sovereignty, and jurisdiction of the region to New York, but retained the pre-emptive right to obtain aboriginal title from the native Americans. Any purchaser of those rights from the Indians would have to obtain Massachusetts' approval.[5]
After the adoption of the United States Constitution in 1787, the federal government ratified their compact.[6] In April 1788, Phelps and Gorham bought the preemptive rights from Massachusetts, but this didn't get them the right to develop or re-sell the land. They only obtained exclusive right to negotiate with the Native Americans and obtain clear title to the land. For this preemptive right, they paid Massachusetts $1,000,000 (£300,000) (equivalent to about $26.2 billion today)[dubious ] or 16 and 2/3 cents an acre ($41.18/km²). This was to be paid in three annual installments.[7]
By an act of the Massachusetts Legislature approved April 1, 1788,[8] it was provided that "this Commonwealth doth hereby agree, to grant, sell & convey to Oliver Phelps and Nathaniel Gorham, for a purchase price of $1,000,000, payable in three equal annual installments all the Right, Title & Demand, which the said Commonwealth has in & to the said 'Western Territory' ceded to it by the Treaty of Hartford."[8] But first Phelps and Gorham had to go up against competing companies and persuade the Native Americans to give up their title to the land.
Council at Buffalo Creek[edit]
One of the competitors for the obtaining title to the land was the New York Genesee Land Company led by John Livingston. He gathered several of the chiefs together at Geneva and had negotiated a 999 year lease to all the Indian lands of Western New York. He agreed to a down payment of $20,000 and an annual payment of $200 for their heirs for 999 years. But his agreement had no standing in either Massachusetts or New York courts.[9] Colonel John Butler, Samuel Street, and other Tory friends of the Indians formed the Niagara Genesee Land Company and attempted to persuade the Indians to grant them a lease. Some proposed an independent state be created.[9] Phelps forged a syndicate by involving many of his competitors. Phelps and Gorham retained 82 shares for themselves, and sold 15 shares to the Niagara Genesee Land Company and another 23 shares were divided among 21 persons.[10]
On July 8, 1788, Phelps met with the five nations of the Iroquois Confederacy, including the Mohawk, Oneida, Onandaga, Cayuga, and Seneca nations, at Buffalo Creek. His goal was to execute a deed or treaty and obtain title to a portion of their land.[11] The Oneida were split by internal divisions over whether they should give up their title.[12]
Missionary influence[edit]
Phelps was aided by Samuel Kirkland, a Presbyterian minister and missionary among the Oneida. Kirkland had been appointed by the state of Massachusetts to oversee the transaction. Kirkland had previously taken part in six prior illegal land treaties conducted by individual states with the Indians, in violation of federal authority over Indian affairs. Kirkland encouraged the Indians to sell their land to the whites in part because he was convinced that they "would never become farmers unless forced to by the loss of land for hunting." Kirkland took part in the land sales, receiving 6,000-acre (24 km2) around present day Utica from New York State and from the Oneida people. Kirkland was also determined to build the Hamilton-Oneida Academy and needed financial support from the wealthy land speculators.[12] In November 1790, Iroquois Indians, including Cornplanter, accused Phelps, Kirkland, and the Mohawk chief Joseph Brant of altering deeds to favor Phelps.[12]
Land ownership[edit]
The Indians considered themselves to be the owners of the land, but Phelps persuaded the Chiefs that since they had been allies to the defeated British during the Revolutionary War, and since the British had given up the lands in the 1783 peace treaty, the tribes could only expect to retain whatever lands the United States would allow them to keep.[9] Phelps and Gorham wanted to buy 2,600,000-acre (11,000 km2), but the Indians refused to sell the rights to 185,000 acre (749 km²) west of the Genesee River.
Mill Yard Tract[edit]
Phelps suggested that the Indians could take advantage of a grist mill to grind their maize which would relieve the women of the grinding work. The Indians asked how much land was needed for a grist mill, and Phelps suggested a section of land west of the Genesee River extending west from the river 12 miles (19 km), running south from Lake Ontario approximately 24 miles (39 km), and totaling about 288 square miles (750 km2). The land today stretches from near the present day town of Avon north to the community of Charlotte at Lake Ontario and encompasses Rochester.
Within this area on the west bank, Phelps and Gorham gave 100 acres (0.40 km2; 0.16 sq mi) at the high falls of the Genesee River to Ebenezer "Indian" Allen on the condition that he build the grist mill and sawmill. The grist mill was distant from potential customers—only about 25 families lived on the west bank at the time—and there were no available system of roads to reach its location from the few nearby farms on the west bank of the river, and it never prospered.[13] Allen's tract became the nucleus of modern Rochester, New York. The section of land on the west bank of the Genesee River became known as the Mill Yard Tract.[14]
Purchase agreement[edit]
Phelps and his company paid the Indians $5,000 cash and promised an annual annuity of $500 to their heirs forever.[10] The agreement gave them title to 2,250,000 acres (9,100 km2), included approximately the eastern third of the territory ceded to Massachusetts by the Treaty of Hartford, from the Genesee River in the west to the Preemption Line in the east, which was the boundary that had been set between the lands awarded to Massachusetts and those awarded to New York State by the Treaty of Hartford. Boundaries established by Phelps' agreement were reaffirmed between the United States and the Six Nations by Article 3 of the Treaty of Canandaigua in 1794.[15] The scrip's low value substantially reduced Massachusetts' proceeds from the sale.[16]
Area boundaries[edit]
After the Revolutionary War ended, the Iroquois chiefs had been assured in the 1784 Fort Stanwix treaty that their lands would remain theirs unless the Indians made new cessions in regular councils duly convened and conducted according to tribal custom.[9] The eastern boundary was defined by the existing Preemption Line, on the north by Lake Ontario and on the south by the Pennsylvania border. The Fort Stanwix Treaty and earlier treaties established the approximate western boundary, but a survey was required to establish the legal boundary.[5]
The boundary of New York was anchored on the Pennsylvania border at the 82nd milestone and ran due north on a meridian to Lake Ontario. This north-south line was known as the eastern preemption line. Phelps believed that the line ran through Seneca Lake and included the former Indian settlement of the Indian village of Kandesaga, present-day Geneva, New York. He planned to make Geneva the headquarters and location of the land sales office. He hired Col. Hugh Maxwell, a man with an impeccable reputation, to perform the survey. During his original survey for Phelps and Gorham, Maxwell was assisted by Augustus Porter and other surveyors.[7] Maxwell and his assistants started a preliminary survey on June 13, 1788 from the 82-mile stone on the Pennsylvania Line. The trial survey reached Seneca Lake and then the actual survey was started on July 25, 1788,[17] and when the surveyors reached the area of Kandesaga, the line was fixed west of Seneca Lake and the former Indian village, which remained a key town in the region. Oliver Phelps was extremely upset when he learned that the survey did not include Seneca Lake or the Indian village. He wrote a letter to Col. William Walker, the local agent responsible for the survey and requested that they survey be redone in that area, but for unknown reasons it was not completed.[7]
On the west, the survey ran north from the Pennsylvania border to the confluence of Canaseraga Creek and the Genesee River. The survey line followed the river to a point 2 miles (3.2 km) miles north of Canawagus Village, and then due west 12 miles (19 km) distant from the westernmost bend, and then due north to the shore of Lake Ontario. Maxwell divided the land into ranges 6 miles (9.7 km) wide from north to south.[5] Maxwell's work became known as "The First Survey."[18]
Settlers arrive[edit]
Phelps opened one of the first land sales offices in the U.S. in Suffield[19] and another in Canandaigua. During the next two years they sold 500,000-acre (2,000 km2) at a higher price to a number of buyers. People arrived from New England, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and from across the Atlantic in England and Scotland. Settlers also included soldiers who had fought under General Sullivan.[18]
Financial difficulties[edit]
Land purchased from the Indians was often bought for speculation rather than immediate settlement and was usually quickly resold. For example, Oliver Phelps sold township 3, range 2, to Prince Bryant of Pennsylvania on September 5, 1789. Prince Bryant sold the land a month later to Elijah Babcock, who in turn sold various parcels to Roger Clark, Samuel Tooker, David Holmes, and William Babcock.[5] The syndicate was able to sell about half of its holdings.
Syndicate defaults[edit]
However, within the year, Alexander Hamilton's policy of assuming the debts of the newly formed nation raised the value of the consolidated securities used to buy the land, effectively quadrupling the syndicate's debt[5] and substantially inflating the their cost to purchase title from the Indians for the remaining 1,000,000-acre (4,000 km2).[10] The syndicate sold about 50 townships but the purchasers were mainly stockholders who had accepted land in exchange for interest on the loan principal.[7] Fewer emigrants bought land than expected, reducing the income expected by the syndicate. Two of the three bonds financing the purchase were canceled, but even when the debt was reduced to $109,333 (£31,000) (about $1.5 million today), the syndicate was unable to make the next payment. In August 1790, the reverses forced Phelps to sell his Suffield home and his interest in the Hartford National Bank and Trust Co.
In early 1791, the syndicate was unable to make the second payment on the preemptive right to the lands west of the Genesee River, comprising some 3,750,000 acres (15,200 km2), and the land reverted to Massachusetts on March 10, 1791. On March 12, Massachusetts agreed to sell these rights to Robert Morris for $333,333.33 (about $4.63 million today). Morris was a signatory of the Declaration of Independence and a financier of the American Revolution, and at the time was the richest man in America. Robert Morris paid about 11 or 12 cents an acre for it, or about $9,878 (£24,695) (about $137,265 today). The land was conveyed to Morris in five deeds on May 11, 1791. On August 10, 1790, the syndicate sold the remaining lands of the Genessee tract to Morris excepting about 47,000 acres retained by Phelps and Gorham, The deed was conveyed on November 18, 1790, and specified that the tract should contain 1 million acres, and any amount over that would require further payment.[7] On September 21, 1791, Geneva was described as a small, unhealthy village with about 15 houses, all of log construction except three. There are about 20 families."[7]
Survey inaccuracies[edit]
When Morris bought the property, issues with the first survey were well known. The purchase deed stated, "A manifest error has been committed in the laying out and dividing the same, so that a new survey must be laid in order to correct the said error."[20] Some accounts from early in the 20th century attribute errors discovered during the second survey to the primitive instruments used by the surveyors, but allegations of fraud were also made. A description of the survey in 1892 cast suspicion on an assistant surveyor named Jenkins who was supposed to have altered the survey line to favor his employer, Peter Ryckman, who desired the location of present-day Geneva.[7] Ryckman had unsuccessfully attempted to buy the land from the Indians but had been thwarted when his purchase was not recognized by New York state. When a new survey was commissioned, Maxwell's survey became known as "The First Survey."[18]
Adam Hoops was hired to lead a team of new surveyors. They discovered that Maxwell erred on both the eastern preemption line and the western boundary. Maxwell had located the westernmost boundary of the Millyard Tract believing that the Genesee River ran due north. Hoops' team found that Maxwell had made a serious error when he ignored the variance between magnetic north and true north.[5] Hoops found that the preemption line ran through Seneca Lake and north along a line to Lake Ontario near the center of Sodus Bay, about four miles west of the line surveyed by Maxwell.[7] He re-drew the preemption line in a northeasternly direction from the west end of the southern boundary, which included the town of Geneva.[17]
Hoops found that the Genesee River actually flows to the northeast,[17] and in his new survey established that the western boundary of the Mill Yard tract included a gore-shaped tract of land, about 85,896 acres (347.61 km2; 134.213 sq mi) west of the Genesee River, that should have been retained by the Indians. An equivalent amount of land on the west, a 87,000 acres (350 km2; 136 sq mi) parcel known as the Triangle Tract, was instead returned to the Indians. The rights to the Triangle Tract was then purchased by Morris from the Indians and became part of the Morris Reserve.[5] The actual area of land purchased by Morris was fixed at 1,267,569 acres (5,129.67 km2; 1,980.577 sq mi).[7] Hoop's corrected survey became known as the "Second Survey" and was accepted by Simeon DeWitt, New York's surveyor-general, in a resolution passed by the state on March 24, 1795.[7]
London investors purchase land[edit]
After buying the land from the state of Massachusetts in early 1790, Morris almost immediately resold 12,000,000 acres (49,000 km2; 19,000 sq mi) through his London agent William Temple Franklin to the Pulteney Associates, led by Sir William Pulteney at more than double the price he had paid. Sir William Pulteney bought 9/12ths interest, William Hornby 2/12ths, and Patrick Colquhoun 1/12th interest. At the time non-citizens could not legally hold title to land, so the buyers sent Charles Williamson from Scotland, and he was naturalized on January 9, 1792 to permit him hold the land in trust for the owners. He relocated to the United States in February, 1792 and settled on the tract.[5] Morris conveyed the deed to Williamson on April 11, 1792 and was paid $333,333 (£75,000). The U.S. Congress had passed The Coinage Act which established the U.S. Mint and the dollar as its official currency only a week before.[7] Morris made a profit of over $160,000 on the transaction.[20]
The Pulteney Purchase, or the Genesee Tract, as it was also known, comprised all of the present counties of Ontario, Steuben and Yates, as well as portions of Allegany, Livingston, Monroe, Schuyler and Wayne counties. After Sir William Pulteney's death in 1805, it was known as the Pulteney Estate.
Holland Land Purchase[edit]
Morris sold additional land in December 1792 and in February and July 1793 to the Holland Land Company, an unincorporated syndicate formed by Wilheim Willink and thirteen other Dutch bankers. The bankers hired trustees in the United States to take title to the land because U.S. law made it illegal for them to directly own the property. Robert Morris, however, prevailed upon the New York Legislature to repeal that ordinance, which it did shortly thereafter.
The investors of the Holland Land Company could in a worse case scenario resell their property, i.e. the right to purchase aboriginal land. The investors expected a significant profit if they could obtain clear title from the Native Americans and sell unencumbered parcels of land. They organized a council at Big Tree in the summer of 1797. It was attended by the Iroquois sachems, Robert Morris, James Wadsworth (who represented the Federal Government), and Joseph Ellicott, who represented the Holland Land Company. Red Jacket, chief of the Seneca nation, was very difficult to negotiate with. The Dutch gave presents to the influential women of the tribes, and offered generous payments to several other chiefs to influence their cooperation. They offered the Indians about 200,000 acres in return as reservations for the tribes.
In 1802, the Holland Land Company opened a sales office in Batavia managed by surveyor and agent Joseph Ellicott.[21] The office remained open until 1846 when the company was dissolved. Some plots of land were given to persons with the condition that they establish improvements, like inns and taverns, to encourage growth. The building still exists and is a museum dedicated to the Holland Purchase and designated a National Historic Landmark.
County origins[edit]
In 1802, the entire Holland Purchase, as well as the 500,000 acre (2,000 km²) Morris Reserve immediately to the east, was split off from Ontario County and reconstituted as Genesee County. In the ensuing 40 years after it was formed, Genesee County was repeatedly split to form all or parts of the counties of Allegany (1806), Niagara (1808), Cattaraugus (1808), Chautauqua (1808), Erie (1821), Monroe (1821), Livingston (1821), Orleans (1824), and Wyoming (1841).
Morris kept 500,000 acres (2,000 km2) in a 12-mile (19 km)-wide strip along the east side of the lands acquired from Massachusetts, from the Pennsylvania border to Lake Ontario. This later became known as The Morris Reserve. At the north end of the Morris Reserve, a 87,000-acre (350 km2) triangular-shaped tract was sold by Morris to Herman Leroy, William Bayard, and John McEvers. This was nicknamed the Triangle Tract. A 100,000-acre (400 km2) tract due west of the Triangle Tract was sold to the State of Connecticut.
In September 1797 Morris extinguished the remaining title to all the lands west of the Genesee held by the Iroquois Nation at the Treaty of Big Tree held at Geneseo, New York. Morris paid $100,000 along with perpetual annuities, among other concessions, and created ten reservations for the Native Americans within the purchase totalling 200,000 acres (800 km²).
The remainder of the Morris Reserve was quickly subdivided and settled. The Morris Reserve lands were later carved up to comprise portions of Allegany, Genesee, Monroe, Orleans, and Wyoming counties.
The Town and Village of Mt. Morris, in Livingston County, New York, is named after Robert Morris' son, Thomas. Phelps, New York is named for Oliver Phelps. Williamson, New York is named for Charles Williamson. Both the Town and Village of Ellicottville and the Town of Ellicott are named for Joseph Ellicott. Franklinville is named after William Temple Franklin, a Holland Land Company agent (and the grandson of Benjamin Franklin). Holland, New York is named after the Holland Purchase. Busti bears the name of agent Paolo Busti.

Basilica of the National Shrine, Washington DC
The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception is a Catholic minor basilica and national Marian shrine in Washington, D.C. Built on land donated by the Catholic University of America, the basilica took over a century to build and receives millions of pilgrims each year. Contrary to a common assumption, the Basilica of the National Shrine is not the Catholic cathedral of Washington - that honor goes to the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle.
In 1792, Bishop John Carroll of Baltimore, the country's first Catholic bishop, consecrated the new American nation under the protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary under her title of Immaculate Conception.
In 1847, Pope Pius IX formalized Bishop Carroll's acclamation and officially proclaimed the Immaculate Conception as patroness of the United States. In subsequent years, a few priests imagined an elaborate shrine in honor of their country's patroness.
Bishop Thomas J. Shahan, also rector of the Catholic University of America, proposed the construction of a national shrine to commemorate the Immaculate Conception. He took his appeal to Pope Pius X on August 15, 1913 and received the pope's enthusiastic support. Bishop Shahan then persuaded the Board of Trustees of the Catholic University of America to donate land at the southwest corner of the campus for his shrine.
In January 1914, Bishop Shahan published the first issue of Salve Regina, a newsletter meant to stir enthusiasm for his project. He wrote that the shrine would be a "monument of love and gratitude, a great hymn in stone as perfect as the art of man can make it and as holy as the intentions of its builders could wish it to be." His newsletter was circulated to dioceses throughout the country and financial donations began to pour into Washington, DC.
In 1915, Father Bernard McKenna of Philadelphia was appointed by Bishop Shahan as first director of the national shrine, bringing the bishop's dream one step closer to reality. Bishop Shahan would oversee the construction of the shrine till his death on March 9, 1932. His body would be the only one interred at the national shrine.
By 1919, architectural drawings were chosen by Bishop Shahan and Father McKenna for the construction of the national shrine by a Boston firm. At first a traditional Gothic architectural style was considered. Bishop Shahan wanted his shrine to be bold and glorious and opted instead for a Byzantine-Romanesque design.
James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore, blessed the foundation stone on September 23, 1920. More than 10,000 people attended the mass, including foreign ambassadors, United States government officials, military officers, and other dignitaries. In 1929, the Great Depression halted the construction above the crypt level. United States entry in World War II stalled plans to proceed even further.
Finally in 1953, American bishops under the leadership of John Noll, Archbishop ad personam of Fort Wayne, and Patrick O'Boyle, Archbishop of Washington, pledged to raise the funds necessary to complete the upper church of the national shrine. On November 20, 1959, thousands of Catholics gathered with their bishops for the dedication of the Great Upper Church. The construction of the Basilica continues today.
What to See
The National Shrine is a blend of Romanesque and Byzantine styles, with a bell tower inspired by St. Mark's Basilica in Venice. The interior consists of an upper church with a mosaic-tiled ceiling and a baldacchino over the altar and a lower church (or crypt) with numerous chapels.

RUGBY: Warminster 28 Frome 2nd 0
4:00pm Tuesday 10th December 2013 in Sport News
WARMINSTER turned the formbook on its head as they ended their five-match losing streak.
With a dominant scrummage, Warminster were in control early on but missed the chance to go ahead when number Dean Priestman broke off a set piece but threw a poor pass.
However, Priestman soon set up the first try, his pass finding hooker Dan Woods for his second try in as many weeks, Jason Sprangle adding the conversion.
Three Sprangle penalties extended the advantage as Frome's infringements resulted in them losing a man to the sin-bin.
The home side spent much of the secnd half close to the Frome 22, but came up against a strong defence before the pressure told and second row Dave Bowman ploughed over.
Frome were reduced to 14 men permanently as Warminster fly-half was taken out with a shoulder charge before home flanker James Rowbotham was sin-binned.
The victory was sealed as Sprangle's clever cross-kick allowed Pratt to dot down, Sprangle booting the conversion.

I am Professor of Fungal Ecology at the Department of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology, Uppsala BioCenter, SLU. I head a small group, conducting research about fungal ecology in boreal forest ecosystems. We study the interplay between fungal communities and their environment; how community composition depends on environmental parameters and disturbances, but also how fungi affect their environment, primarily as degraders of organic matter.
Combining isotope analysis, fungal biomarkers and high throughput sequencing of fungal DNA, we show that mycorrhizal mycelium is an important source of carbon for long term storage in boreal forest soils. By analysing soil profiles from islands in a lake in northern Sweden, representing a chronosequence of ecosystem age, we found that declining productivity in aging ecosystems is paralleled by increasing accumulation of carbon and nitrogen in fungal mycelium and its remains in the soil.

Taking advantage of the collective experience of six research groups, we here review the different stages involved in fungal community analysis, from field sampling via laboratory procedures to bioinformatics and data interpretation. We discuss potential pitfalls, alternatives, and solutions.
Read the whole paper in New Phytologist here.
Fungi that have previously only been known through DNA sequences, have now been cultivated and classified. The fungi, which have lived hidden underground for millions of years, represent a class of fungi that is new to scientists, Archaeorhizomycetes.
Read the article in Science here.
We approach the diverse ecological roles of fungi as decomposers and ectomycorrhizal symbionts from different viewpoints; from gene expression and biochemistry via community ecology to ecosystem modelling. Molecular methods and bioinformatics are important tools, and we specialise in the use of high throughput sequencing of molecular markers to analyse fungal communities in complex field samples. I am a member of the editorial board of 'Fungal Ecology' and the advisory board for 'New Phytologist'. As director of undergraduate studies, I am also engaged in teaching and organise a yearly recurring master's course in Soil Biology.

Code requires at least 15" OC to the sides of the toilet centerline. And, you'll find that sometimes feels cramped. As long as you have at least that amount, moving it is all aesthetic. Depending on the type of pipe involved, it may be easy to move.
We have a small powder room that is getting a face lift with the kitchen. I decided on the Toto Aquia II. I'd like to move the toilet 3 inches, especially with the narrow Toto going in. The wall is only 64 inches long with the flange centered 20.25 inches from the wall. The current wide toilet with 24 inch vanity feels a bit lopsided already, with 40 inches for the toilet area. With the Toto I think it will look odd, though if I move it over 3 inches I can put a 30 inch vanity in (it would fit without moving the toilet, but there would be roughly 6 inches from vanity to toilet and 12 inches toilet to wall).
We are taking up the floor to install cork tiles, so there will likely be subfloor work needed. There is a utility room in the basement directly below the powder room with open ceiling. The pipe is PVC and runs parallel to the floor joist.
Is this more of a headache than it's worth? It seems like this would be the ideal set up for a relatively easy move, but is it hard/labor intensive? I read a lot of questions about difficult moves, but have no idea how expensive something like this situation might be.

It would depend on much pipe you have to work with. Installing such a small offset might be a bigger challenge than we could guess without actually seeing the drain.
To me, with no experience whatsoever, it looks promising. But I have no idea. I don't want to even bother the GC by asking if it's going to cost a lot, but if it's likely to be inexpensive and not add too much time I'd get a quote on adding it to the contract. I would be going to the right in the picture (I think, it's showing up rotated oddly, it would move toward the larger pipe side)

Moving the plumbing in this looks easy...patching the floor will take longer. The most expensive material will likely be the fittings, but in the scheme of things, it's going to be a lot less than the labor. I'm no good at estimating what a pro would charge, and I work a lot slower than someone who does it every day, so I'm not a good judge.

I'm not sure what else is connected there, but using a heel inlet bend with the heel inlet on the horizontal is strictly prohibited by our plumbing code. Moving the toilet over should be easy, but there is more to be done there than only that.
No, the piping coming into the bend from the left side of the picture. That is not permitted here.
A classic example of "just because the fittings fit together doesn't mean they are legal to use like that".

Well, that doesn't sound good. I can't tell exactly where it goes because of the metal sheet there, but I would guess maybe the sink. The smaller end of that long pipe extends past that connection all the way to the wall, I would guess it goes to the old washer hook up on th first floor (now in the basement), but can't really tell.
So, if that doesn't meet code, I would assume that once it's touched it will have to be brought up to code, correct? If that's the case I might have to have that looked at and push off the powder room until we can afford to correct that, sounds expensive. It's right out in the open, I don't want issues if we sell. I wish the inspector had said something when we bought this place.
Any additional thoughts or advice would be appreciated. Had I not asked I would have been in for one big surprise! The more I know when I have it looked at, hopefully the less likely I'll have sticker shock.
As a practical matter, whether you absolutely need it to code or not depends upon what inspections are necessary in your local jurisdiction for the work that you want to do. As you point out, it being not to code can be an issue when you go to sell, although many home inspectors cover their butts by saying that the inspection that they are doing is not to determine compliance with code, but rather something more like functionality, and your own inspector didn't catch the glaring code violation, or didn't take the time to understand what he was looking at.
I haven't seen the whole system, so I don't know, but it doesn't seem like it would be that much work to run a short extra length of pipe so the two drains didn't merge in the closet bend. I don't see where the venting is in your setup, so there may be other issues as well. However, we shouldn't be talking about too much, at least in the teeny area you showed us, to bring it up to code.
Just for fun, have a look at the two linked pieces below. They will give you a sense of how it's all supposed to go together, at least in the jurisdictions involved. You might ask your local building department if they have a plumbing guide for homeowners, or if they can recommend one.

Must depends on where the vent is for the water closet (if there is a proper vent). Without knowing for sure about the other connected drains and vents, we would only be guessing.
Just wanted to provide an update for those curious. I decided to just let good enough stand, and bought another 24 inch vanity. The new Toto might look tiny in that space, but I'll adjust. There is so much on my plate with this kitchen remodel I don't want to open that can of worms! At least it's a symmetrical space around the toilet.
Thanks so much for all the info. It was very helpful to weigh the potential issues with the potential gain.

Detroit Pistons won't trade Tayshaun Prince to the Dallas Mavericks for Caron Butler and a first-round draft pick
Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports:
Detroit won't deal Tayshaun Prince to Mavs for Caron Butler and a 1st. Even if Pistons can't re-sign him, he's asset in sign-and-trade.
Feb 24, 2011 • 1:29 pm

Wow.. I assumed Dallas wasn't willing to offer a 1st. I'm officially at a loss of words.
Feb 24, 2011 • 1:39 pm
by Travis
I blame the ownership problem for most trade possibilities not happening, kinda makes since to hold out for a sign and trade or cap space for prince tho. unless playing time for the next generation was more highly valued
Feb 24, 2011 • 1:43 pm
by xyu022
I never would have dreamed the pistons would not make a move for this deadline. When is Joe D going to realize this team is NOT going to mesh well together & definitely NOT going to make a playoff push. They just stood there & watched Rush dunk it down in the critical seconds. They better not resign Prince or Stuckey but rather sign & trade them to gain assets. Unlike what the Cavs & Raptors did. & Tmac is NOT going to resign. Man, I wish this team was sold already. Here's the future??…
PG: draft pick/free agent | will bynum | t white
SG: ben gordon | rip hamilton
SF: j jerebko | austin daye
PF: g monroe | charlie V | maxiell
C: b wallace | draft pick/free agent
No playoffs for 2012 too? yep. & who's going to want to come here via free agency? Nobody good or worth signing long term.

say it ain't so Joe, Tay's attitude is horrible, get him outta here!

by Justin Bogrow
i thiknk that this is the best you will get for prince, look dallas NEEDS a small forward and i bet we would bargin to also bring in someone like JJ Barea or someone eltes, butler is a god scorer and fits in well, and we can use that pick for a trade, maybe package it with another and get someone in the offseason. I am not sure what eltes the pistons think they will get.
Feb 24, 2011 • 2:18 pm
by Justin Bogrow
we could resign him, because if we can get rid of rip, and prince, whose contracts combined equal around 25 million. Then get rid of stuckey and wilcox, that is another five million, and with the draft pick we can make a trade or try to build through the draft, it would give us alot more options instead of just two, sign or sign and trade.
Feb 24, 2011 • 2:22 pm
by Alan
How much is a 1st round pick really worth from Dallas? Dallas' record is fantastic and the pick would likely be one of the last picks in the 1st round of a weak draft. Seriously, we can do better in a sign & trade because we have Tay's bird rights and he'll want them to travel with him to his next destination.
Feb 24, 2011 • 2:27 pm
by nuetes
Prince for a late first rounder? Sounds fair. Not really, but I'd do it in a heartbeat. I just don't want to deal with the offseason and the possibilities that exist for Dumars to mess this thing up more. This would remove one of those possibilities.
Feb 24, 2011 • 3:29 pm
by Vince
Wow just wow, if JD is thinking of a sign n trade, I hope for him he already has a few teams lined up. Maybe Prince and Max for Millsap?
Feb 24, 2011 • 3:41 pm
by detroitpcb
would have to approve of Dumars declining that offer (Butler is hurt, no Bird rights, draft pick would be very low in a weak draft and would require 1st round money) but i cannot believe he can't get something else done.

Plasmonic Wire Grating
Model ID: 14705
In this model, a plane wave is incident on a wire grating on a dielectric substrate. Coefficients for transmission, reflection, and first order diffraction are computed for different angles of incidence
The model is set up for one unit cell of the grating, flanked by Floquet boundary conditions describing the periodicity. As applied, this condition states that the solution on one side of the unit cell equals the solution on the other side multiplied by a complex-valued phase factor. The phase shift between the boundaries is evaluated from the perpendicular component of the wave vector. The periodicity boundaries are parallel with the y-axis, therefore, only the x-component is required. The phase factor is the same for the refracted and reflected beams as for the incident wave due to the continuity of the field.
This model was built using the following:Wave Optics Module
