Sun Sentinel Columnist

So much for the popular sentiment Indiana presents the Heat a problem because of their size and frontline muscle. And so much for the idea Indiana is lying in the weeds for a coming playoff matchup.
Heat 105, Indiana 91
That's a storyline killer, folks, especially when LeBron James only had 13 points.
So on to the more pressing concern: Should the Heat make a run at the longest win streak in NBA history?
Sunday was their 18th straight win, meaning they passed the '72 Dolphins for the longest streak in South Florida history (someone alert Mercury Morris).
They also tied Michael Jordan's Bulls, Willis Reeds's Knicks and Larry Bird's Celtics at 18 straight wins. That's historic company and the fourth-longest streak in NBA history.
The longest streak, of course, is the 33-game streak of Pat Riley's Lakers (also, ahem, the Lakers of Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West).
"I'm not disrespecting it, but no, it's not something in our radar,'' Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.
That's the smart tact to take at 18 straight wins. The streak isn't something to chase just yet, especially in a March where the Heat play more games in March than any season in their history. More games means less rest and more risk.
But it can happen organically with the way this team is playing . Again, James scored 13 points on Sunday. Mario Chalmers (26) and Chris Bosh (24) were the leading scorers.
This team can bend to the night, in other words. If the Heat need muscle, they have it. If they need finesse, they find it. If they need Chalmers and Bosh to lead the scoring, that's fine, too.
So the question isn't if they chase the streak. It's whether it happens. Already, ESPN has signed on for the ride. It has a crew on board to see how far this thing goes. And why can't it go for a while?
Oh, come on, you're not going to be a party pooper and squash such a thought by pointing out how it doesn't really matter, that this team is all about the playoffs, that the big prize is the championship.
What's wrong with winning another door prize along the way?
"Right now, I don't think about the streak,'' Wade said. "We just come in and take care of business. We're not in here talking about how we're on this streak and want to keep winning. We're just working."
The Heat play Atlanta on Tuesday. But the next pothole could be in Milwaukee on Friday. If not there, at Boston a few days later – and the third game in four days.
But look at some stats stacking up over these past 18 games:
The margin is 11.1 points. Only the one-point win against Orlando and overtime win against Sacramento were one-possession games at the end of regulation. So the Heat aren't just winning most nights. They're dominating.
LeBron James is averaging 27.2 points on 57.7 shooting, and Dwayne Wade averages 24.3 points on 55 percent shooting. That's a recipe for success for the Heat.
Turnover margin is a better indicator than rebounds. This follows the season-long trend. The Heat have been out-rebounded eight times during the streak, but only one opponent had fewer turnovers. That outlier is Minnesota, which had five fewer turnovers but 16 fewer points.
"I don't think it plays into our conscience at all,'' Ray Allen said. "When we came together this summer, we came together for one thing, and winning 18 straight games or whatever wasn't that thing."
So, again, you don't shoot for this. Not yet. But can't it provide some fun on the way? Isn't it something to look forward to through the too-long season?
"Good win,'' Spoelstra said. "Now we'll move on to the next one."
That'd be No. 19 against Atlanta.

Crime and Punishmentby Fyodor Dostoyevsky Constance Garnett
[This text is listed as an example that meets Common Core Standards in English language arts in grades 11-12 at http://www.corestandards.org.]
A Disgraceful Affairby Fyodor Dostoyevsky
A towering literary giant, Fyodor Dostoyevsky was-and remains-unparalleled in his understanding of the darkness that resides in the farthest corners of the human soul. Although his shorter works have been overshadowed by his astonishing novels-Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov, to name but two-his stories and novellas deserve a place among the great literary inventions of the modern era, offering insight into the themes and ideas that drive his longer fiction. Included in this volume are some of Dostoyevsky's most troubling, moving, and poignant short works. Bonus storyHarper Perennial proudly supports the art of the short story. Included in this classic volume is a bonus story from one of our new writers, Barb Johnson, from her forthcoming collection, More of This World or Maybe Another. Read a short story today.
The Dream of the Ridiculous Manby Fyodor Dostoyevsky
The first-rate collection includes "The Dream of a Ridiculous Man," "Bobok," "The Christmas Tree and the Wedding," and five other short masterpieces.
The Grand Inquisitorby Fyodor Dostoyevsky Constance Garnett
This new edition presents 'The Grand Inquisitor' together with the preceding chapter, 'Rebellion', and the extended reply offered by Dostoevsky in the following sections, entitles 'The Russian Monk'. By showing how Dostoevsky frames the Grand Inquisitor story in the wider context of the novel, this edition captures the subtlety and power of Dostoevsky's critique of modernity as well as his alternative vision of human fulfillment.
The House of the Dead and Poor Folkby Constance Garnett Fyodor Dostoyevsky
2 novels that reflect the brutal conditions and horrors that Dostoyevsky witnessed while he was in prison in Siberia.
Notes from the Undergroundby Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Description: The passionate confessions of a suffering soul; the brutal self-loathing of a tormented man; the scathing scorn of an alienated antihero who has become one of the greatest figures in all literature.
The Possessedby Constance Garnett Fyodor Dostoyevsky
The theme of the book runs on the line that God is the pain of the fear of death. He who will conquer pain and terror will become a god.
White Nightsby Fyodor Dostoyevsky
The short works of Dostoevsky exist in the very large shadow of his astonishing longer novels, but they too are among literature's most revered works and offer keys to understanding the themes in his longer works. Contained in this volume are the short stories "White Nights," "A Disgraceful Affair," and "The Dream of the Ridiculous Man," three of Dostoevsky's most troubling, moving, and poignant works. Alongside A DISGRACEFUL AFFAIR, Harper Perennial will publish the short fiction of Stephen Crane, Herman Melville, Willa Cather, Leo Tolstoy, and Oscar Wilde to be packaged in a beautifully designed, boldly colorful boxset in the aim to attract contemporary fans of short fiction to these revered masters of the form. Also, in each of these selections will appear a story from one of the new collections being published in 2009. A story from Barb Johnson's forthcoming collection will be printed at the back of this volume.

Bootleg Dynasty
As they were about to self-release their first full-length album, Wilmington band Bootleg Dynasty's plans were suddenly put on hold. Entitled "Moving at Night," the album will be distributed through the Tate Music Group and released in the fall. Signed to Lathan Entertainment, Bootleg Dynasty brings together rock 'n' roll and country with songs about salt of the earth characters and simple living.
Music singer-songwriter Brad Lackey told me last January that he wanted to make music his "grandmother and kids who have been to Phish shows" could enjoy. Lackey and the band have done so, from the workingman's lament "Pallet Jack Blues" to the back porch boogie of "Bunkin's Creek."
Listen here
Read about the band here
Virgin Lung
Check out the new video for the band's song "Emergence at Dawn" directed by Bennett Pellington. Great song from a great local band. Check 'em out live and listen to their music here. See the video at Vimeo here.
James Ethan Clark
Clark's new album "Southern Hotel" is doing well and he recently got the news of being nominated for "Best Rock Male" in the Carolina Music Awards.
The CMAs are organized like a people's choice awards show and was co-founded by Roberta Flack and Randy Travis. The CMAs span both Carolina's to recognize artists in the rock, hip-hop, country and R&B genres and further music development.
Read about Clark's album here and listen to his music here.

Selah Dubb
Just in time for the summer season Selah Dubb puts out a new video whose visuals make you want to head to the beach. Check out the video for "Party on a Sunday" below.
The folk rock duo Folkstar has been working feverishly lately to complete the follow up to 2012's "Emotional Bootcamp." Judging by their Facebook page and other pages they like to stay busy. Months ago they created a comic book about their Karmic Fury music label and some recently posted videos show Kim Dicso playing the trumpet for the new songs. The duo bring together folk and rock with a blues flavor and the new album is expected this summer.
Valiant Thorr
Last weekend Valient Thorr's guitarist (and Wilmingtonian) James Yopp sent out a text for people to participate in the band's new video. They shot it in Castle Hayne with bonfires and other goodies in tow. It was all in preparation (and very likely a good time) for the always energized hard rock band and touring monster's new album out June 18.
Titled "Our Own Masters" via Volcom Entertainment it's the band's sixth album. If you were at the Crusades show in late March you might seen have VT's singer as the evening's DJ extraordinaire.
The So So Glos
Several years ago when W.E. Festival was still around Brooklyn's The So So Glos played the fest. I was fortunate to have the band play in Wilmington twice for various shows after conversing via MySpace. In late April it was great to see the band performing on the David Letterman show, days after their new, excellent album "Blowout" was released. They performed "Son of an American."
It, and the band, has been getting a lot of press and critical raves after years of touring the U.S. and putting their music out there, from an initial 4 track EP that still burns and resonates to follow-up records like "Tourism/Terrorism" and "Low Back Chain Shift." W.E. Fest may be hibernating but its presence still lingers.

Four hundred and fifteen Pro Magic players descended on Pro Tour-Prague with drafting on the brain. Seeing as it was the debut of Dissension, there may have been that many unique draft strategies too.
With other players working complex theories on mana-fixing via bounce lands and signets to maximize the shininess of Ravnica's gold cards, Japan's Takuya Osawa played it cool and drafted a tried-and-true archetype of huge creatures and removal, spicing it up with the new Graft ability that came with the introduction of Dissension. Osawa's recipe couldn't have been any hotter, cooking up a win in the finals over Germany's Aaron Brackmann. The 21-year-old Japanese player dropped just one game all day, and the win marked the first for a Japanese player outside their own country.
Osawa's strategy involved dropping wurms of the Streetbreaker and Golgari Rot variety, making them even bigger and badder with a few Simic-enhanced grafts thanks to six Graft creatures. Two Pyromatics, a Seal of Doom, a Douse in Gloom, and a Char helped him clear up the board and deliver killing shots to the dome on his way to taking home the $40,000 first prize.
The Top 8 draft saw two distinct strategies play out regarding mana. While six players grabbed bounce lands and signets, Osawa and Brackmann eschewed that plan for Utopia Sprawls and Silhana Starfletchers. Many thought Antonino De Rosa came out of the draft with the top deck thanks to multiple Steamcore Weirds and Ogre Savants, but mana issues in the first two games put the U.S. National champion in too deep a hole against Shuhei Nakamura. Nakamura then fell to his countryman Osawa in the semis, after Osawa had steamrolled Joe Crosby in three quick games.
On the other side of the bracket, Rasmus Sibast, who had dropped only one match all weekend prior to Sunday, picked a bad time to see loss No. 2 come his way as he fell to Brackmann in the quarterfinals. Christian Hüttenberger, a German player in his first individual Pro Tour, defeated Quentin Martin in the other quarters before falling to Brackmann 3-0 in the semifinals.
While many questions about Ravnica-Guildpact-Dissension drafting were answered here in Prague, almost as many questions have been raised. Is Bloodgraft the dominant draft archetype? What are the best mana solutions? Is there key pack in the set? You can start answering those questions by replaying the Top 8 draft in the Draft Viewer. Follow how the Pros made their picks and design your strategy before your next draft!

Where the Presidential candidates stand on energy
Business Roundtable is sponsoring a forum at The Newseum Wednesday where two presidential campaign surrogates will debate the candidates' positions on energy issues.
The debaters have extensive, impressive experience in energy policy, both inside and outside the federal government.
Dan Reicher, Executive Director, Stanford University Center for Energy Policy and Finance, will represent President Obama's campaign. From his bio: "Reicher has more than 25 years of experience in energy technology, policy, and finance, including serving in the Clinton administration at the Department of Energy as Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy and recently as a member of President Obama's Transition Team. Reicher came to Stanford in 2011 from Google, where he served since 2007 as Director of Climate Change and Energy Initiatives."
Representing Gov. Romney's campaign is Linda Gillespie Stuntz, a founding parter of Stuntz, Davis & Staffier. From her bio: "Her law practice includes energy and environmental regulation, as well as matters relating to government support of technology development and transfer. Ms. Stuntz served as Deputy Secretary of the [U.S.] Department of Energy under President George H.W. Bush. ... [She] played a principal role in the development and enactment of the Energy Policy Act of 1992."
Moderating the panel will be Gerald Seib, Washington editor of The Wall Street Journal.
With the two debaters speaking as official surrogates, the campaigns appear to be moving forward into more substantive debate about energy policy. The Hill noted that significance in an E2-Wire post on Monday and an earlier preview, "Obama, Romney campaigns to square off over energy."
President Obama's campaign issue page, "The President's Record on Energy and the Environment" actually leads with his environmental priorities and his promotion of clean energy, claiming an "all of the above" strategy to move toward energy independence.
Gov. Romney's campaign webpage is categorized simply as "Energy," with a kicker, "Pro-Jobs, Pro-Market, Pro-American." The page begins with an attack on President Obama's record, following with "Mitt's Plan": Significant Regulatory Reform, Increasing Production, and Research and Development.
A continuing hot-button issue is the Administration's inaction on the Keystone XL pipeline, a project intended to move oil from the Alberta oil sands -- and from North Dakota and Montana's Bakken formation -- to U.S. refineries. The Washington Post has been running an informative and balanced series on the pipeline, "Keystone: Down the Line." The latest segment is, "Canadian town gears up for Keystone XL."
One envies the reporters' road trip, although how do you get a hotel room in Williston?
Speaking of North Dakota, the unemployment rate is 3 percent and CNBC just ranked it the No. 5 State for Doing Business, thanks largely to the energy-fueled economy.
Business Roundtable strongly supports approval of the pipeline for strengthening U.S. energy security, giving a shot to the economy, and producing thousands of jobs. But approval would also demonstrate that the private sector can actually get something done without the federal government blocking the energy or infrastructure project. Or, in another way, that the federal government can actually something down.
Or, as the day's news reminds us, without environment special interests blocking the project. From The New York TimesGreen Blog, "Green Groups Plan Legal Challenge to Arctic Drilling."
The debaters will have plenty more to talk about, including hydrofacturing, nuclear power, renewable energy, and energy efficiency. BRT's "Taking Action" report outlines our member-CEOs' positions under the rubric, "Reliable, Affordable Energy."

Systems Science and Industrial Engineering at Binghamton
We're all about people, equipment and materials — and how they work in industry and everyday life. Some people like to take machines apart to learn how they work. The struggle can be how to put them back together working better than they did before.
That's what we do, but we look at much more than machine parts. We study complex systems in industry and manufacturing settings, healthcare environments and society in general. We look at intelligent systems, supply chain management and human factors. Whether it's statistical modeling or decision making, modeling or fuzzy logic . . . we've got it covered.
We make systems, things and people work smarter and better.

Wind River Hypervisor Virtualizes Multicore Processors
Embedded specialist Wind River has released its Hypervisor product as one of the fruits of their alignment with chipmaker Intel.
Wind River calls its new high performance Hypervisor Type 1 a "pillar" of multicore software development. The California firm had announced its key development work on multicore asymmetric multiprocessing (AMP) in early March, supported by hardware maker Intel. The new Wind River Hypervisor should now enable virtualization on single- and multicore processors. It does it through Wind River's own brand of Linux and VxWorks operating systems, but also supports other "general purpose" platforms.
Videos, online demos and detailed background data for Wind River Hypervisor are on the product announcement webpage.
The hypervisor should provide users opportunities to replace multiple boards or CPUs with a single board or CPU and run various OSs on it. Wind River sees increasing applications with little energy usage, initially in the aerospace, automotive and consumer electronics industries. The firm had showed its proximity to the auto industry in March at CeBIT 2009, where they announced its partnership with BMW, Peugeot, Intel and others as part of the Genivi Alliance.
Especially for applications in the aerospace and defense industries, Wind River also announced availability of the VxWorks MILS Platform 2.0. MILs here stands for multiple independent levels of security, which should meet the needs of real-time operating system (RTOS) requirements surrounding the stringent EAL6+ Common Criteria security assurance level.
The partnership with Intel will likely intensify as a result of Intel's purchase of Wind River in early June. The deal cost the chipmaker $900 million and will go into effect the summer of 2009.
Welcome to the PartyWind River's technology stands on its own merits, but to make business sense, successful technology needs the right supplier behind it. It's too early and the Wind virtualization product is likely too immature to make definitive claims about its functionality or reliability. Steve Subar, President and CEO of Open Kernel Labs writes more about what this means to the market on our blog. http://bit.ly/Rl8Mw

"Welcome to the Santa Ynez Valley Youth Coalition Website. We hope that you will find this resource helpful as you explore the value of prevention and discover tools to utilize in your own families and community.
All of us have most likely known someone in our lives that has been negatively affected by alcohol and other drug abuse. The harm of such abuse is extensive and knows no boundary. For this reason alone we must do everything we can as a community to work together to help PREVENT our younger generations from falling prey to a life of substance abuse, lost dreams and too often, loss of life. Education and prevention is the key. Please partner with us in our effort to help protect the future of our youth. Together we can make a difference!" -Mary Conway
The Santa Ynez Valley Youth Coalition is a collaboration of volunteer community leaders dedicated to promoting healthy lifestyles and preventing and reducing substance abuse among youth and ultimately adults. The Coalition focuses on implementing researched based best practices, policies and prevention programs.
"Not my child." "Not here, the Valley is so safe." This is what many parents tell themselves when they hear about underage use of alcohol, marijuana, tobacco and other drugs including the misuse of prescription drugs.
Parents need to know the facts if they want to protect their children from early experimentation with alcohol and other drugs. The statistics below are taken from the 2012 California Healthy Kids Survey, administered to local students in grades 9th and 11th. You can take a closer look at a full report of our Valley school results at http://chks.wested.org/reports/search.
On May 2nd, the Coalition and the Buellton Medical Center will be hosting a workshop titled "Adolescent Prescription Drug Abuse: Clinical Implications and Interventions." There is no cost for this training and CEU's are available. Contact Mary Conway for more information at 686-0295

I've started coloring my drawings, and I'm having trouble with skin tones, flesh tones, whatever you want to call them.Could you give me some basic ideas of what colors I could use for the flesh of my characters?
The more educational way of doing apples suggestion would be to get a photo with the skin tone you want, guess the color using the colorwindow in photoshop(or whatever program you use), then check with the eyedropper tool to see if you were right. Btw, don't forget to set the eyedropper to something else than point sample, use the 3by3 average or even the 5by5 average, otherwise you'll just sample a single pixel and it will rarely be the color you expected.
I don't have photoshop, or any of the programs that some of you people use, I'm more of a traditional artist.
Skin tones are a tough thing to master for any medium of artist. Usually it's a varied mixture of a bunch of different colors, and it depends on the lighting too.
Some references.
Lol, damn, it's going to take a few years to really get all these things I'm learning down. Well, thanks for the replies, good people.

Saints spread smiles to international community
DAHLONEGA, Ga – After a long 2007 season, the North Georgia College & State University soccer program spread smiles in the international community.
The Saints donated various uniforms worn in previous years to former North Georgia player and Colombian player, Santiago Pinzon. With uniforms in hand, Santiago was able to make a long trip home, contact a soccer institution, and help a community with serious economic problems.
The donation was made to an institution located in San Joaquin, a small town near Santiago's hometown. San Joaquin's soccer institution is just starting, but already exported some of its talent to Argentina and hopes to keep up its good work and send various players outside Colombia to other soccer venues.
The actual donation of the uniforms was done the first week in January and accompanied by a soccer academy named Tucuman Santiago not only represented North Georgia, but helped a community in need and gave a youth team the best present they have ever had. The institution's head coach expressed his gratitude to both Santiago and North Georgia for their contribution.

Students with concerns about course requirements, class procedures, teaching styles or grades should whenever possible first approach the instructor for clarification/resolution. Concerns about final grades must be expressed by the end of the next regular semester. If, after contacting the instructor you still have concerns, you should address them to the appropriate program coordinator and/or department chair who will work with you and the instructor to resolve the matter. If the department is unable to remedy the situation, you should address your concerns to the division dean.
Individual departments may establish their own internal procedures for handling student concerns. If the division is unable to remedy the situation, you may then appeal in writing to the Office of Academic and Student Affairs. Anonymous calls or unsigned letters will not be acknowledged. Only concerns expressed by the individual student involved will be dealt with.
Employees of the college may not legally discuss matters pertaining to non-minor students with parents, spouses, friends or classmates without a signed release from the student.
The College is committed to non-discrimination and equal opportunity regarding the treatment of students, faculty and staff. The College adheres to a strict non-discrimination policy in student admission, educational programs, activities, and employment regardless of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, religion, creed, national origin, ancestry, age, veteran status, disability, or genetic information. The College is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
The College maintains a complaint procedure for the purpose of investigating and providing prompt and equitable remedy.
The Missouri Department of Higher Education serves as a clearinghouse for post-secondary student complaints. The MDHE complaint policy may be found at http://www.dhe.mo.gov/documents/POLICYONCOMPLAINTRESOLUTION.pdf. This Web page contains information about the complaint process and includes instructions for how to file a formal complaint. Note that the policy provides that a student who wishes to file a complaint with the department must first exhaust all formal and informal avenues provided by the institution to resolve disputes.
Additionally, students may also contact the Higher Learning Commission of the

All forms of discrimination and harassment degrade the quality of work and diminish the academic mission and will not be tolerated. Sexual harassment, because of its nature, has received special attention within Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX) and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. Further, because of the unique relationship between student and faculty member or supervisor and subordinate and the inequities in power, sexual harassment is especially troublesome in the academic environment. Sexual harassment not only violates the law and college policy, but also can damage personal and professional relationships, cause career or economic disadvantage and expose the college to legal liabilities and other financial consequences.
Sexual and other forms of harassment can be prevented through instilling knowledge and awareness. This policy is intended to increase awareness and provide practical information regarding sexual harassment by making available information, resources and the availability of guidance on the subject.
Even consensual sexual or romantic relationships may be perceived as or become occasions of sexual harassment. For more information, individuals should refer to Policy 434.1/534.1, Romantic or Sexual Relationships.
Definitions of Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment is unwelcome conduct of sexual nature. Sexual harassment includes any unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors or other unwelcome written, verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when:
Sexual harassment may occur between members of the same or opposite sex; sexual harassment may occur between persons of the same or different college status (faculty, staff, student, visitor, vendor, other). Groups may also be found to engage in sexual harassment. Harassment based on a person's sex is not limited to instances involving sexual behavior. Behavior that is based on sexual advances or overtones, as well as sex or gender harassment because of a person's sex (for example, being denied equal treatment because a person is a female or male, or being treated differently because of gender stereotypes) may be considered sexual harassment. Sexual harassment may include unwelcome sexually-oriented kidding or teasing, sexual innuendoes, sexually-oriented jokes, jokes about gender-specific traits or which are gender-based or the display of obscene material. Someone who is not the direct and immediate target of sexual harassment may still be a victim of sexual harassment. Harassing behavior toward others may be so offensive, demeaning or disruptive as to constitute a hostile work or academic environment, though not specifically directed at the observer or individual lodging a complaint.
Reporting Discrimination and Harassment
Any student who believes that he or she has been the subject of sexual or other harassment should report the alleged act immediately to the vice-president for academic and student affairs, 636-922-8356, SSB 2110 or as an alternative, the dean of students, 636-922-8238, CC 202. The college will respond in a prompt and equitable manner to allegations of harassment and will respond appropriately to those who violate this policy, up to and including termination of employment or dismissal from the college, as applicable. Any employee who believes that he or she has been the subject of sexual or other harassment or who has witnessed discrimination or harassment, on any basis, should report the alleged act immediately to the vice-president for human resources, 636-922-8300, ADM 1123. Reports may also be made to any administrative officer of the college. A person does not have to be the direct target of the discrimination or harassment to report it. The college will respond in a prompt and equitable manner to allegations of harassment and will respond appropriately to those who violate this policy, up to and including termination of employment.
Administrative Officers
While the vice-president for academic and student affairs and the vice-president for human resources are formally responsible for enforcing compliance with discrimination and harassment policies, ensuring that the campus is free of discrimination and harassment is a shared responsibility of all employees of the College community. If employee discrimination, harassment, or retaliation is observed by, or reported to a College official (administrators, managers, and supervisors), then that official has the duty to immediately report the matter to the responsible parties listed above. If student discrimination, harassment, or retaliation is observed by, or reported to an administrator, manager, supervisor, coach or Athletic Director, club advisor, law enforcement or public safety officer, or student conduct administrator, then that official has the duty to immediately report the matter to the responsible parties listed above. The fact that the alleged victim does not wish to file a complaint does not relieve the official of this responsibility. The method for reporting harassment is also outlined in the St. Charles Community College Reporting Discrimination and Harassment (Complaint Procedure). A copy of that document may be obtained from the following locations:
Discrimination and Harassment Investigations and Appeals Process
Conduct alleged to constitute sexual or other forms of harassment will be evaluated according to the objective standard of a reasonable person. Involved parties will be informed, to the extent possible, as to the outcome of any investigation arising out of this policy. In the event that an individual disagrees with the outcome of an investigation, the decision may be appealed to the president of the college, 636-922-8383.

Glenn Greenwald wrote a column in Salon back in 2008 that bears on the debates over Citizens United and the Shareholder Protection Act. Greenwald rightly criticized Palin for claiming the First Amendment was threatened when reporters attacked her for making negative comments about President Obama:
The First Amendment is actually not that complicated. It can be read from start to finish in about 10 seconds. It bars the Government from abridging free speech rights. It doesn't have anything to do with whether you're free to say things without being criticized, or whether you can comment on blogs without being edited, or whether people can bar you from their private planes because they don't like what you've said.
Amen to that.
By the same token, as I noted last week, the First Amendment does not guarantee anyone the right to own stock only in companies whose views they agree with. If shareholders don't like a corporation's views, they can try to change its policies or take their investment dollars elsewhere.
Does this mean that corporations will always say sensible things or behave responsibly? Of course not, any more than protecting freedom of the press means the media will always be objective. But neither of these things violates anyone's rights. If you don't like what you hear, turn the channel. If you don't like the views of those with whom you are associating, vote with your feet.
As Greenwald pointed out, Palin's view turns the First Amendment on its head: "According to Palin, what the Founders intended with the First Amendment was that political candidates for the most powerful offices in the country and Governors of states would be free to say whatever they want without being criticized in the newspapers."
Critics of Citizens United ultimately support the same result, whether intentionally or not. As the Supreme Court stated, the ban on corporate speech "muffle[d] the voices that best represent the most significant segments of the economy." Upholding it, the Court noted, would have mean silencing not only business corporations, but ultimately media corporations as well. The Court's eloquent response speaks to both Sarah Palin's view and the critics of Citizens United: "The First Amendment was certainly not understood to condone the suppression of political speech in society's most salient media."
There's a big difference between being criticized or having someone decline to associate with you on your terms and being censored. Only the government is capable of censoring speech, which it does through coercion. Short of that, we are on our own. Or, as the Court put it in Citizens United: "The First Amendment confirms the freedom to think for ourselves."
We should bear all of this in mind as Congress and the states consider the latest legislation designed to "repair" the alleged "damage" from Citizens United.

Things I liked:Can use both pellets and BBs. Light weight. One of the easiest guns to pump. Good sights. Fairly accurate. The trigger and loading setup is exactly the same as the Powerline 880, so as the user grows older, moving up to the 880 should feel natural. Good size for 10 and up.
Things I would have changed:Offer something with a slightly shorter stock for the under 10 users. An easier way to load pellets would be great.
What others should know:This rifle was purchased along with a Crosman Pumpmaster 760 for an 11 and a 7 year old, respectively. I tried them both out and here are my observations. The Daisy 35 is slightly longer then than the Crosman (34.50" vs 33.50"), and tad heavier (3.1 lb vs 2.75 lb), but they both handle about the same. They have the same power. The Daisy holds more BBs than the Crosman (50 vs 18). BBs are much easier to load in the Daisy than in the Crosman, which requires one to hold the gun facing down, shake it by twisting the wrist to let the BBs fall in, and then lock them in place before loading the next shot. Loading a pellet can be a bit tricky in the Daisy, requiring one to pull the bolt back just enough to load the pellet, but not too far or a BB will be in there first. The Crosman requires the use of a magazine (provided) that holds five pellets and isn't too hard to use once you get the hang of it. Still, it feels like you are doing double the work with loading the magazine first and having to move it after each shot to load the next pellet. The biggest difference between the two is the pumping of the gun. The Daisy is so easy to pump its impossible to put down. The Crosman, by comparison, is the hardest one I've used. So it should come as no surprise that someone has to pump the Crosman for the 7 year old, while the 11 year old can handle the Daisy just fine. By the way, if size does become an issue, do invest in a set of rifle rest bags or consider the Daisy Buck 105.
Things I liked:Price. Looks great. Handles very well. Accurate.Very quiet. Won't disturb the neighbors, especially when you use 3 pumps which is great for target shooting with pellets.
Things I would have changed:The usual. Make it out of metal. Wood stock.
What others should know: I have other air rifles with rifled barrels. I wanted an inexpensive BB and pellet shooting air rifle so I could shoot with cheap BBs and not have to worry about destroying the accuracy of a rifled barrel. I was pleasantly surprised with the accuracy of this smooth bore with pellets. I originally tried RWS Diablo Basics, Crosman Premier wadcutters and hollow points, and Gamo Match wadcutters. The Model 35 showed itself to like the Premier wadcutters. It didn't care for the RWS.It also gave me some nice groups with the hollow points.The Gamos were all right. Then I remembered I had a few Crosman Destroyers. I shot 2 groups with them. One using 5 pumps, and one with 3 pumps. The one with 3 pumps gave me a one hole group just slightly larger vthan a .177 pellet. It was right at 200. That would be a fine group for a rifled air gun. For a smooth bore at 10 yards from a rest with open sights this group made me very happy. And I'm 59 with crappy eyesight.I have since ordered an inexpensive scope, and Fully expect to tighten my groups even more. With Daisy BBs I have shot 3 groups with the best at about 5/8". I took a chance buying this rifle after reading Tom Gaylord's review. I don't know how this plastic gun will hold up, but I am very careful how I hold it when pumping, as I've heard of some other brand plastic multi pumpers that break the stock. I am looking forward to testing this rifle scoped. Since it is showing excellant accuracy with open sights, I can't wait for scoping.
Things I liked:This rifle is pretty good for being so inexpensive. it is particularly useful for eliminating small birds and rodents up to squirrels that may be causing a problem for you. This has to be done at close range but it is effective.
Things I would have changed:none
What others should know:Doesnt feel as cheap as you may think. It is obviously not a Hatsan 125 but it is nice for such an inexpensive air rifle

San Antonio firefighters rescued a dog from a Northwest side home where a fire started Wednesday morning.
A basset hound named Diesel was pulled from the home in the 1900 block of Lee Hall after suffering smoke inhalation. The dog was treated at the scene.
Two other dogs that were found underneath the house were unharmed.
A neighbor called the fire department around 7 a.m. after he noticed smoke rising from the house. The couple who lives there was not home at the time.
Firefighters determined the fire originated in the kitchen, but it is unclear whether it was caused by an electrical problem.
Fire officials launched an investigation to determine the cause of the fire.

Winter Classic cancelled by NHL's latest act of self destruction
By Stu Hackel
As the old public relations maxim goes, "Always release bad news late on Fridays" because people will pay less attention to it once the weekend rolls around. So perhaps it is no coincidence that the NHL has dropped major cancellations on us each of the last two. Last week, it wiped out the November schedule and this time it cancelled one of its signature events — perhaps its main regular season event — the Winter Classic along with Detroit's Hockeytown Festival, all victims of the stalled CBA negotiations and the owners' lockout of the players.
The league made the announcement after strongly hinting last month that this bad news was forthcoming despite pleas from some people to give the CBA bargaining another shot and save the event.
There was belief that the owners might have second thoughts as recently as early Friday. That's when David Shoalts in The Globe and Mail reported that the league would push the drop dead date to at least Nov. 15. "Some sources say (NHL Commissioner Gary) Bettman believes Nov. 15 is the last possible day to make a decision because of the preparations involved for the game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Detroit Red Wings and planned for Jan. 1 at the University of Michigan's 115,000-seat stadium," Shoalts wrote. That news, combined with word that productive informal talks had taken place this week and formal talks would restart soon, seemed to hint at a reprieve for hockey's New Year's Day spectacle and the affiliated events in Detroit.
But it was not to be.
Instead, NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said the cancellation was necessary because of "the logistical demands for staging events of this magnitude….. We simply are out of time."
However, while the construction of the outdoor rinks at the University of Michigan's "Big House" stadium and the Detroit Tigers' Comerica Park require time, they may not require that much time. Jeff Klein of The New York Times reported earlier this week that, "Rink-building preparations for last year's game at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia began Nov. 21, when workers started laying down armor decking to protect the grass field. But the year before, crews did not start building the rink at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh until after the Steelers' last home game on Dec. 23, just nine days before the Winter Classic. In 2009 at Fenway Park, rink construction began on Dec. 10."
Of course, one must consider the travel and hotel arrangements that such a huge event requires, but blocks of rooms have most likely been reserved for months in advance, and while airline tickets might be purchased closer to the event, delaying that by a couple of weeks should not have had an impact on the entire operation.
Speaking in Brooklyn last week, Commissioner Gay Bettman provided a different explanation of why the league might pull the plug. "At some point in November we will have to commit many millions of dollars to get ready for the Winter Classic, so if there's still uncertainty, we're going to have to make a decision," he said. "And my guess is, we're not going to commit those dollars unless we have certainty."
It was subsequently learned that the NHL's financial exposure to the University of Michigan was limited to the $100,000 it had already paid and, according to the cancellation policies in the contract between the league and the school (which you can read here on Page 2), the league could recover any additional fees it had paid in the event of a cancellation due to the lockout.
If there's one component of the Winter Classic that might have been harmed by the shortened lead time, it is HBO, whose annual 24/7 series provides an excellent promotion of the game, the teams involved, and the league. This production group does amazing things on a short turnaround, but it would be impossible to match the quality of their earlier series without the benefit of all the filming they do and the relationships they forge in the course of a full regular season. No one has said a diminished 24/7 would constitute a reason to pull the plug early on the Winter Classic. If they did, however, it would be a classic case of the tail wagging the dog.
What does the cancellation of the Winter Classic mean? Lots of things, the most obvious of which is that the NHL has once again committed an act of self-destruction, something it has habitually done during the course of the last few months, all in the cause of forcing the players to accept a deal they find unacceptable rather than negotiate one that both sides can live with. And that leads to an alternate explanation of why the NHL would cancel the Winter Classic along with the Hockeytown festival now.
"Union officials have said privately that they expected the league to cancel the Winter Classic early as a pressure tactic," Klein reported this week. The aim would be to demonstrate to the players that the owners are standing firm in seeking the concessions they've proposed on lowering salaries and restricting individual contracting rights and they are dug in for a long siege.
Reactions to the cancellation began surfacing after the league disclosed to some in the media this week that the move was immanent. "The pending cancellation of the Winter Classic should be a reminder that we are much closer to the season blowing up than was anticipated in the summer," wrote Kevin Allen in USA Today. "Players undoubtedly are going to say the league's decision to cancel the game constitutes scare tactics aimed at destabilizing their resolve. Regardless of whether that's true, the reality is that we are now on a countdown toward losing the entire season for the second time in less than a decade. Both sides need to pause the blame game long enough to give thought to how to resolve this mess before the button gets pushed."
"Hockey lovers are lamenting the latest NHL shutdown and the looming cancellation of the season's Winter Classic," wrote Jeff Gordon in The St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "This game at Michigan Stadium, in front of 100,000-plus fans, was going to be the central piece of a much larger hockey celebration in Greater Detroit. This opportunity lost would add another black mark on Bettman's permanent record and remind everybody he is still running a Garage League."
Some of the angriest words came from Canada, which has been a spectator to previous Winter Classics, the NHL not inviting one of their Canadian-based clubs to participate until this year. "All the momentum the NHL has built with this product will be balled up and pitched into the trash the moment they mothball it," wrote Adam Proteau of The Hockey News. "It doesn't matter whether the league offers to re-stage this year's game in the same city whenever it comes to its senses and ends this labor farce; the bitter residue of cancelling this particular WC, in this particular season, will linger for quite some time.
"We're talking about a Winter Classic that would have drawn more than 100,000 people to Michigan Stadium, demolishing the previous record for attendance at an NHL game. We're talking about a significant financial infusion to a Detroit-area economy that has been battered as badly as any American city. We're talking about two Original Six teams that have so many devoted followers, there was scheduled to be an unprecedented two NHL alumni games. We're talking about fans so crazy about the sport, they also would've filled the stadium for the seven other games – two Ontario League matchups, an American League game and a four-game NCAA mini-tournament – set to be played in the days leading up to the Red Wings/Maple Leafs NHL showdown.
"Those are the people NHL brass are about to slap across the face when the 2013 Winter Classic is shelved. Unless they have the memory span of an attention-deficit-addled goldfish, those consumers are bound to look back less than fondly on a business operation that put the Charlie Brown football down for them to kick, only to quickly and callously pull it back because NHL players wouldn't happily accept a drastic pay cut."
After the cancellation was announced, Pierre LeBrun on ESPN.com published a thoughtful piece contending that the atmosphere around the game is so poisonous now that trying to stage it would be pointless. It would be a half-baked operation and detract from what the events in Detroit were intended to be. "The Winter Classic is supposed to represent everything that is good in hockey, the sport back to its roots, celebrated every Jan. 1 in a way that even the most cynical media observers can't snicker at." He also implied the decision to cancel was the Red Wings' and perhaps not the NHL's. "Even though the league would still have time to build up the infrastructure needed for the Jan. 1 game if there's a collective bargaining agreement in place by Nov. 30," he wrote, "the Wings don't want to be part of slapping together a half-sized version of the two-week festival it originally had in mind."
That's an interesting perspective and not at all the rationale the league presents in its most recent Friday cancellation announcement. The point is missed, however: It didn't have to come to this. It never should have come to this. But that's what can happen when one side demands victory rather than a negotiated settlement. Unless things turn around quickly, it's going to be a long winter for NHL fans, one that's already without the Winter Classic.

NeOn is a flagship project of IST FP6 and investigates aspects of evolution, collaboration, contextualization and human-ontology interaction in the environment of large-scale networked ontologies.
Before NeOn I managed OU contribution to the KnowledgeWeb project (http://kmi.open.ac.uk/projects/kweb), and previously, I have worked in the climateprediction.net (http://www.climateprediction.net) project - a large-scale climate modelling and distributed computing project (similar to SETI@Home). The motivation for KMi in both projects was the application of our cutting-edge tools and technologies developed around Magpie and BuddySpace, and to make a contribution to the Semantic Web vision. I delivered a tool that can be called a 'Semantic Web browser'.
