(Revised 18 November 2002) (Adopted by the Institute on 7 January 2003) (Modified and Approved by the Institute on 14 December 2004)
Definitions, Examples of Policy Violations, Ten Commandments of Computer Ethics
All RHIT computing resources and facilities (computers and file servers, internet access, internal network access, printing services, public lab computers, etc.) are shared among all faculty, staff, and students. Individual users are expected to ensure that their activity does not preempt or hinder some other user's activity. Furthermore, all use must be responsible (ethical and legal), based on criteria outlined in this document.
Misuse of the RHIT computing resources harms every member of the RHIT community. The general policy of the Institute published in the Student Handbook offers excellent guidance about responsible use of Institute computing resources and facilities:
The Institute values its reputation for moral leadership as much as its reputation for academic excellence and expects all persons associated with it to maintain the reputation. The Institute's Code of Ethics is simple and direct: Rose-Hulman expects its students to be responsible adults and to behave at all times with honor and integrity.
The Institute, whenever possible, gives all legitimate users the discretion to determine how best to shape their own use of the computing resources and facilities within the guidelines of this policy. Users are responsible for their actions, the consequences of those actions, and the consequences of negligent inaction. As such, users whose judgment leads to activities inconsistent with the guidelines of this policy risk disciplinary action and possible imposition of restrictions to enforce the guidelines of this policy.
The guidelines set forth in this policy are not a comprehensive list of what is or is not allowed but rather a guide to help individuals exercise good judgment and responsible system use. No one should assume that any system use not specifically excluded by this policy is legitimate or that it will be treated as such. Any use that endangers or degrades the computing facilities or has the potential to do so is contrary to this policy. The Institute enforces the principles in this document as well as the specific guidelines enumerated below.
While responsible incidental personal use (personal email, network browsing, game playing, etc.) of the computing system is acceptable, the primary purpose for its existence is to support the educational and academic missions of the Institute. Incidental personal use must not interfere with the educational mission of the Institute or the incidental personal use being exercised by other users.
This policy applies to all Institute computing facilities (equipment, networks, network connections, and software) and services. In some cases, it may be superseded or modified by policies of departments with their own computing facilities. However, where departmental facilities are used for tasks that involve facilities or services provided by the office of Instructional, Administrative and information Technology (IAIT) this policy will apply.
All illegal behavior is fundamentally unethical and therefore violates this policy; such behavior may result in both disciplinary and legal repercussions.
The use of computing facilities, either intentionally or through reckless system use, to harm or negatively impact another's legitimate use of computing facilities is unethical.
Due to resource limitations, priority is given to purely academic and administrative tasks when resource needs are in conflict. Users whose consumption is excessive during times when resources are critically limited may be subject to IAIT regulation. To aid users in moderating their resource consumption, IAIT makes available information and statistics regarding individual consumption of resources.
Public equipment (workstations, terminals, printers, etc.) is provided by the Institute for use by all students, faculty, and staff. This equipment is provided as a shared resource. If your use of the equipment adversely affects its availability to the community, IAIT may restrict your access to these resources. Public equipment is maintained by IAIT, and problems with said equipment should be reported to IAIT. Under no circumstances should you attempt to move, repair, or service the equipment.
User accounts, like computing facilities, are provided and owned by the Institute. Use of Institute accounts is a privilege, and users are responsible for any unauthorized use made of their accounts or of material stored in their accounts. The intentional attempt to gain unauthorized access to any account is unethical. Because unscrupulous users may still attempt such behavior, users should be aware that no email, files, or data, are perfectly secure.
Viewing or using private files, programs or data without authorization is an invasion of privacy, even if that material appears to be legally and/or electronically unprotected. Copying, providing, receiving, using copyrighted material in ways inconsistent with valid licensing agreements is a violation of this policy. Due diligence must be exercised by the creators and users of networks or services which enhance or facilitate file access and/or sharing capabilities beyond those of the core Institutional computer services in order to ensure that copyrighted materials are not copied, provided, received, shared, or used in ways inconsistent with valid licensing agreements. Users must realize that unauthorized access or use of computing resources may be a criminal or civil offense.
Sending fraudulent, harassing or obscene messages and/or materials is unethical, and may be illegal. When in doubt about appropriate message content, consult the general statement published in the Student Handbook and given under the general guidelines above.
Public information services available to users beyond Rose-Hulman campus are not within the jurisdiction of IAIT. Faculty or staff questions and concerns about providing such services in a legal and ethical manner should be directed to the Department of Development and External Affairs (DEA); student questions should be directed to the Rose-Hulman Student Government Association (SGA).
Use of Institute computer resources for non-Institute commercial purposes in a manner that places a disproportionate draw on aggregate Institute resources requires written authorization and arrangement for suitable compensation to the Institute. Arrangement of such authorization and compensation falls under the jurisdiction of, and should be arranged with, the Vice President of IAIT.
To provide opportunities for intellectual and personal development campus organizations may offer computer access to material on a variety of topics. However, the availability of material on the server does not imply that RHIT approves or endorses its content. Material is neither censored nor reviewed and therefore may be offensive, inaccurate or simply untrue. Users should apply the skepticism of a responsible adult when accessing such material. Users must be aware that material available through these services may be objectionable to others.
Systems that are incorrectly configured or compromised by a third party can have adverse effects on the Rose-Hulman network. In these cases IAIT may be forced to restrict that system's access to the Rose-Hulman network until the problem is remedied.
Malicious behavior or use will not be tolerated. If a system is being used to commit such acts, it will be immediately removed from the network.
In situations where a system must be removed from the network, or its access to the network must be restricted, IAIT will make its best effort to notify the owner of the system before the action occurs. However, in cases requiring immediate solution, IAIT reserves the right to take action without notice. In such cases, IAIT will notify the owner of the system as soon after the action as possible.

London24 is launching a new Creatives' Corner section to show the best work of Londoners.
Over the coming weeks we'll be asking for poems, photos, songs, videos, drawings and more as we tap into the vast talent pool across the capital.
A different theme will be chosen each time and all contributions will be welcome – the one rule is they must all be on a London theme.
Using the work will embellish our pages and give you clever Londoners the chance to show off what you can do.
A couple of weeks ago we kicked things off by asking for pictures showing London at night.
We wanted readers to send photos which show the capital at its best when it is all lit up.
See the gallery below for a selection of the best pictures of London at night which have all been submitted via our photo-sharing platform iwitness24.
The next Creatives' Corner theme is Olympics poetry.
If the 2012 Games coming to London has inspired you to write some verse we would love to see your work.
Any Olympics-inspired poems can be emailed to email@example.com. Our favourite contributions will be published here on London24's website and also on our pages which appear in Archant's newspapers across the capital.

RICHMOND, Va., March 8, 2010 - Top-seeded Old Dominion held off a late run by #3 William & Mary and defeated the Tribe 60-53 in the championship game of the 2010 Virginia 529 College Savings Plan CAA Men's Basketball Championship.
The Monarchs (26-8) earn the conference's automatic bid into the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship. ODU will be making its sixth straight post-season appearance, including its third trip to the NCAA's in the last six years.
The Tribe, which reached the CAA championship game for the second time in the last three years, dropped to 22-10 with the loss, but are expected to receive a post-season tournament berth.
Senior center Gerald Lee (Uusikapunki, Finland) was named the championship's Most Outstanding Player after averaging 17.3 points per game in the Monarchs' three contests, including nine points in the title game. Junior guard Darius James (Virginia Beach, Va.) tallied a team-high 12 points and dished out four assists. Sophomore guard Kent Bazemore chipped in 10 points and joined Lee on the all-tournament team.
Senior guard Danny Sumner (Fairfax, Va.) paced the Tribe with a game-high 19 points, making 5-of-11 from three-point range. Sophomore guard Quinn McDowell (Mason, Ohio) added nine points and junior forward Marcus Kitts (Holly Springs, N.C.) had seven points. Sumner and senior guard David Schneider (Phoenix, Ariz.) earned spots on the all-tournament squad.
ODU jumped out to a quick 5-0 lead, but the Tribe struck back with an 8-2 run capped off by a Sean McCurdy (Jersey City, N.J.) three-point play with 15:52 left that gave W&M its only lead of the game, 8-7.
The Monarchs came right back with six straight points as Ben Finney (Portsmouth, Va.) converted a three-point play and Trian Iliadis (Perth, Western Australia) nailed a long range jumper to put ODU ahead 13-8 lead with 14:49 remaining in the first half.
Holding a narrow 17-14 advantage, Bazemore scored five points during a 10-0 Monarchs' run that expanded the margin to 13 with eight minutes to go in the period. A pair of three-point jumpers from Schneider and sophomore forward JohnMark Ludwick (San Antonio, Tex.) trimmed the ODU lead to 27-20 and the Tribe was down 31-24 at the half.
ODU took its largest lead of the game, 41-26, on a Finney 3-pointer with 16:02 remaining. The Tribe fought back behind Sumner, who hit three treys and scored 13 points over a seven-minute span to cut the deficit to 52-45 with 6:22 left.
A Sumner three-pointer with 1:01 to go brought W&M as close as 56-51, but ODU converted four-of-six from the free throw line down the stretch to seal the victory.
The CAA championship is the fifth for Old Dominion, which is the most of any league member.
Both teams shot 19-of-48 (39.6%) from the floor, but the Monarchs out-scored the Tribe 15-6 from the free throw line. ODU committed only seven turnovers while making nine steals that helped lead to 12 W&M turnovers.
The championship game was played before a crowd of 8,455, which allowed the conference to set a tournament attendance record of 44,372.
Northeastern's Matt Janning and VCU's Joey Rodriguez joined Lee, Bazemore, Schneider and Sumner on the all-tournament team.

Live Reviews
Day 7 - Ottawa International Jazz Festival, June 28, 2006
Two performances on day seven of the TD Canada Trust Ottawa International Jazz Festival demonstrated just how broad a spectrum improvisation can cover. From the idiosyncratic compositions of pianist Vijay Iyer to the more cinematic Sandhills Reunion project by veteran drummer Jerry Granelli, audiences were given the opportunity to understand just why, as time goes on, jazz has escaped definition more and more. Barring reductionist definitions, jazz isn't something you can pin downbut you know it when you hear it.
Vijay Iyer's 4 pm appearance at the Library and Archives Canada Theatre began with an onstage interview by CBC Radio host Andy Sheppard. One doesn't need to hear Iyer speak to know he's a deep thinkerhis music makes that crystal clear. But he was an articulate and thoughtful subject, and Sheppard avoided many of the more obvious questions one might ask of an artist who's new to some members of the audience. Instead he just went with Iyer's flow and let the interview evolve more naturally.
On the subject of why he chose jazz over any other form, Iyer said, "I didn't choose jazz; jazz chose me. But the majority of the interview covered his own background, his family's emigration to the US from India, and the current state of affairs in his home country. He explained to the audience that the majority of the concert's material reflected his feelings about what is occurring in the US. Like trumpeter Dave Douglas, Iyer doesn't use his position as a platform from which to proselytize, but his music speaks volumes.
Iyer was joined by a longtime associate, altoist Rudresh Mahanthappa, plus bassist Stephan Crump and drummer Tyshawn Soreywith whom Iyer has worked in the past, but not for some time. But you'd never know it. Sorey was a flexible player, able to navigate the complex twists and turns of Iyer's compositions and maintain a pulse where necessary, but also open-minded enough to respond to a regular maelstrom of activity around him.
Crump is an equally broad-minded player. He sounds just as comfortable with Iyer's more extreme demands on acoustic bass as he is in the electrified fusion of drummer Gregg Bendian's Mahavishnu Project. He's also capable of resting somewhere in the middle, as manifested by his playing on guitarist/vocalist Joel Harrison's recent records, including Harrison on Harrison. Like Sorey, he covered considerable territory with Iyer, maintaining Iyer's knotty lines but also entering into a more democratic four-way conversation when things dissolved into free abstraction.
In some ways, Mahanthappa is an odd foil for Iyer. He has a surprisingly sweet alto tonealthough he's capable of an edge when necessaryand he built solos that were like threading the proverbial needle. At times, he managed to find surprisingly beautiful yet heady lines to weave through Iyer's peculiar patterns. Often beginning with clearly defined motifs, Mahanthappa would develop them in unexpected ways, using extended techniques sparingly and to great effect.
The performance drew mainly from Iyer's last quartet record, Reimagining. Iyer's work may not come from a strict jazz tradition in the way Brad Mehldau's does; he's certainly never recorded a standard on any of his albums. But in the extensive classical background that both shareeven if that background is but one source that informs their writingsome comparisons can be drawn. Still, Iyer's ethnicity is also reflected as an ever-present but fully integrated part of his music. His background is, in fact, most noticeable in his interaction with Mahanthappa, who at times bends notes and approaches the microtonal intervals that infuse traditional Indian music.
As a soloist, Iyer is as deep a thinker as his interview with Sheppard suggested. His ideas were not always sparehe executed staggeringly complex linear and chordal forms around the contrapuntal foundation he'd first establish with the groupbut they were far from conventional. Iyer's view of the world is deeply personal and well thought-out; his playing reflects a similarly well-conceived aesthetic.
The quartet's relatively short set, while high on energy, was also a challengingly cerebral experience. It met an enthusiastic reception from an audience which, for the most part, knew Iyer's work and what to expect. After listeners demanded an encore, Iyer came out with Mahanthappa to perform a piece from their recent duo recording, Raw Materials. It revealed a different side of Iyerless intense, but certainly no less intellectual. It also was the clearest indicator of the empathic connection he shares with Mahanthappa, and served as a gentler way to end a set that made considerable demands on its audience.
Jerry Granelli's show was no less challenging than Iyer's, but the collective improvisationbased around forms both musical and lyrical that infused his performance of the highly-acclaimed Sandhills Reunion (Songlines, 2004)covered considerably more expansive territory and was eminently more accessible. The combination of horns, guitars, bass, drums and cello backing the reflections, imaginings and internal dialogues of actor/singer/playwright Rinde Eckert at the 8 pm National Arts Centre Fourth Stage was another inspired choice for the second year of the festival's Improv Series.
Sandhills Reunion, truly a career-defining project for Granelli, is a difficult recording to perform live for a number of reasons, not the least the logistical ones. The members of the octet are spread across North America and, in the case of guitarist Christian Kögel, across the Atlantic Thus the cost alone of bringing them together must be prohibitive. If it weren't for the Canada Council for the Arts, this ensemble would likely never have had an opportunity to perform live. Granelli brought everyone together for three dates last year, including a remarkable opening show at last year's International Festival Musique Actuelle Victoriaville, and they will be doing another three shows this year. Rare instances like this allow Canadians a unique opportunity to hear a show that the rest of the world can experience only through digital media.
Perhaps the most striking thing about this performance was just how different it was from the 2005 Victoriaville show. The words were the same, and the basic structures used to guide the group through its extended adaptation of the album's music hadn't changed. But there was a different kind of energy, not to mention a more relaxed vibe. When Kögel began the countrified finale, "Spun Like a Spur, his quirky stops and starts, as well as his pitch shifts of the simple chord changeseffected by yanking on the neck of his guitarwere met with wild laughter from the rest of the group. And when Granelli took a polyrhythmic "where's the one" drum solothat still remarkably managed to maintain the grooveit was met with similar laughs and heads shaking in disbelief by his kband mates at just how far he could stretch things.
Tying together the Midwestern ambience of the Nebraska Sandhills with the character of Billy the Kid, Eckert's poetry can be direct, mysterious and downright funny. A line like "I believe doubt keeps us sane is profound in its simplicity, while "I'm leaving the Sandhills because they're too open; I'm leaving the Sandhills because they're not open enough is more enigmatic. And when he says "I don't want you to kill it; I just want you to radically discourage it, he evokes humor but also an underlying sense of menace.
Eckert used separate microphones at various points to create two characters, most notably on "20 Questions for an Outlaw, where Billy the Kid is questioned, and a more complex character evolves out of the exchange:
Q: Alright then, do you believe you have a soul?
A: I once killed a braggart. I knew he didn't have a chance when I looked in his eyesfull of shit, not enough room in there for anything else. But as he took his last breath all that drained out and his soul flooded in. I watched his soul flood in in the last five seconds. Unmistakable.
Q: What about love of your fellowman? Don't you think you have an obligation to your fellowman?
A: Ain't never met my fellow man. Don't even know what he looks like.
Q: It's a figure of speech.
A: Well then, no. I guess I don't feel no obligation to any figure of speech. But I guarantee you if some figure of speech was to kick my dog I'd know what I was obliged to do for him.
The instrumentalists opened by creating an ambience of isolation through sounds of wind blowing over the desolate prairies, and they came together gradually, almost imperceptibly, into the gentle groove of the opening "Like a Ghost in the Grass. Eckert's subtly nuanced deliveryas on the albumwas direct and unaffected, at times so matter-of-fact that when the energy intensified (as it did on the barrelhouse blues of "Just Angels ) Eckert didn't invoke over-wrought emotiveness. Just a subtle rise in his level was enough to get across the increased energy.
Eckert did nothing direct to draw attention to himself, and yet when he was speaking or singing gently, you couldn't take your eyes off him. Perhaps it's because he was clearly in the same zone of the rest of his bandmates, and while he's anything but melodramatic, he was clearly performing a role.
Though the group performs music written by almost every member, Granelli is clearly its democratic leader, which worked to the strength of collective improvising throughout a performance which nearly doubled the length of the disc. Cues were provided by various players at various times. And while everyone had a moment to step out frontmost notably baritone saxophonist David Mott, bass clarinetist Jeff Reilly and cellist Christoph Boththe show reached its highest points during the more extreme moments where it seemed as though everyone was going for it at once, though still paying a certain allegiance to structure.
And yet, despite the improvisational prowess of the groupalso featuring soprano saxophonist Peter Epstein and bassist/lap steel player J. Anthony GranelliSandhills Reunion is more than any one individual. Even Eckert's inescapable charisma is but one part of the greater experiencea story that unfolds with passion, distance, abstraction and visceral groove. It's something that few audiences will have the opportunity to experience, but the capacity crowd which witnessed this performance probably will not forget it any time soon.

In the liberal social atmosphere of Paris, Tanner's painting matured as he gained self-confidence. The deeply felt religious paintings he started producing in the 1890s were a combination of the brilliant palette of the Impressionists, the observed dramatic light of Realism, and the flat color areas of Symbolism. The French government bought one of his paintings in 1897, making him the first African American artist to gain international recognition.

UK's Calipari To Wear A Red Coat In Honor Of A Major Cats Booster
August 27th, 2013 12:00 PM║ Posted By: John Pennington ║ Permalink
║ Schools: Kentucky
Tags: Denny Crum, Hurricane Sandy, Rick Corman, UK
When you spy the basketball coach for a major Kentucky basketball program sporting a bright red sportcoat this winter, it won't be ex-Louisville coach Denny Crum. It will be current Kentucky coach John Calipari who'll be wearing the bright color — the color of the rival Cardinals (gasp) — as a tribute to a major UK booster who passed away last week.
Richard J. Corman sent the plane to Memphis that picked up the current Wildcat coach and brought him to Lexington for his introductory press conference. He owned the RJ Corman Railroad Group — whose main color was red – and was a sizable donor to UK and its athletic department. He passed away after a lengthy bout with cancer.
Yesterday, at the end of a rather eloquent pair of notes about his friend, Calipari posted the following on his website:
"I always said I would never wear red, but in honor of my friend, I'm going to wear a Rick Corman red jacket to one or more games this season. It's the second color I said I would never wear but ended up doing (brown was the other), but I promise I will never wear orange. Oh, and it won't be for the Louisville game either."
If he's the coach at your school, you love him. If he's the coach at another school, you just know he's guilty of something.
Like him or not, there's no denying that Calipari often wears his heart on his sleeve, whether it's raising relief money for Hurricane Sandy or Haitian earthquake victims. And in this case, his sleeves will be made of a bright red fabric.

Anemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells. Red blood cells provide oxygen to body tissues. There are many types of anemia.
Anemia of chronic disease is anemia that is found in people with certain long-term (chronic) medical conditions.
See also: Anemia
Anemia of inflammation
Anemia is a lower-than-normal number of red blood cells in the blood. Certain chronic
infections, inflammatory diseases, and other illnesses can affect the body's ability to produce red blood cells.
Conditions that can lead to anemia of chronic disease include:
Anemia of chronic disease is often mild. You may not notice symptoms of anemia.
If they occur, smptoms may include:
The doctor will perform a physical examination.
Because anemia may be the first symptom of a serious illness, determining its cause is very important.
Tests that may be done to diagnose anemia or rule out other causes include:
Anemia is often mild enough that it does not need treatment. It will likely get better when the disease that is causing it is treated.
The condition is rarely severe enough to need a blood transfusion.
Iron supplements may sometimes be used, but only for patients whose iron levels are low. Taking iron pills when your body does not need it can lead to serious medical problems. Always talk with your health care provider first.
For some conditions, such as chronic kidney disease, medicine called erythropoietin may be given. It stimulates your bone marrow to make more red blood cells.
The anemia will improve when the disease that is causing it is successfully treated.
Discomfort from symptoms is the main complication in most cases. Anemia may lead to a higher risk of death in patients with heart failure.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you have a chronic disorder and you develop symptoms of anemia.

It was supposed to be the first pairing of Steven Spielberg and Jim Carrey but the plans to team the two A-listers has gone sour with Spielberg leaving the production. Carrey remains attached despite Spielberg's departure and has the first option to star should a project come together that's to his liking. On the same note, he can drop out at any time. It's unclear exactly why Spielberg left the project but since it was originally announced that he and Carrey would pair, little movement was ever made on the project. It probably didn't help that the two both had busy schedules and MITTY wasn't fitting in anywhere in the near future. Once Spielberg left, he also took DreamWorks with him and now the project is set up through producer Samuel Goldwyn Jr. at Paramount. Coincidentally enough, Goldwyn's father produced the original 1947 film about a man with a wild imagination. Carrey is currently filming LEMONY SNICKET'S A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS and also has FUN WITH DICK AND JANE and THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN on the horizon. Spielberg has TERMINAL with Tom Hanks coming this Christmas and his next project is expected to be THE RIVALS about two dueling opera divas in the early 20th century.

To bad  I really wanted to see the combination of Carrey and Spielberg, looked promissing!

Oh yeah, Carrey still hasn't left the project, he wants to see the final script first.

Re: Spielberg drops Carrey
Yea, I also was looking forward to see Carrey in a Spielberg movie.

I started lifting on Feb 1 after I recovered from hurting my back. I had had enough of being over weight and decided I was going to start moving in a better direction.
I'm 41 and I weighed 232 when I started. I'm now down to 194 and I'm ready to start adding some mass. I have been going to the gym and lifting weights while I have been working on removing the fat. My have lost 5" on my waist. Here is where I'm at:
Bench: Started at 135 and now can lift 255
Squat: Started at 125 and now can lift 225
Curls: Started at 45 and can now curl 95
Triceps: Started at 24 with pull downs and can now do 72.
This just gives you an idea of my progress. It is not much but I have come along way forward. I want to start adding some mass so here is where the question lies.
My diet is very clean and I do 1.5 hours a day of cardio. Either running or using the elliptical bike. I supplement with 100% Protein Whey. What protein mix do you suggest I use to help me move forward? I have been in GNC and looked over the selection but there are SO many to choose from. I want to start adding some mass but I do not want to negate the gains I have made with weight loss. I plan to keep my diet very clean as I move forward. Any help would be appreciated. If the forum admins feel I posted this in the wrong section, feel free to move. Was not sure.
Thanks for the help!
To bulk up, you must eat more than your body burns. You should be eating 5+ meals a day. If you already eat 5 meals a day, then you're better off adding an additional meal (or even 2, I eat 7 times a day), than making each one larger. This will help you minimize bodyfat gains. Having said that, with a bulking phase, you will put bodyfat back on. Ignore the scale and go by how you look in the mirror and your measurements. Then cut to get leaner.
Try cutting the cardio down to 1/2 hour, this will help.
Workout - look into Rippetoe's Starting Strength - buy the book from Amazon and memorize it. You'll basically do 3-5 different lifts, check other threads. The lifts are all heavy, compound movements. You could add a bit of arm and ab work to Rippetoe's, but no real need.
As for the protein - skip GNC, they're whey (pun intended) over-priced. Shop online at At Large Nutrition.com or bb.com. If you don't want to buy online for security reasons, then Vitamin Shoppe or anything but GNC, Max Muscle, etc.; they'll gouge you for money. What type to use? You'll get tons of different responses on that. I use a combo of unflavored whey and ON Pro Complex. Try not to substitute a protein shake for a meal, unless you really have to. Try having a small shake with a meal instead.
Hope this helps.
Give chalk a chance.

1.5 hours of cardio a day is a lot if you want to build any kind of mass.

Hey thanks for the info. I did the HIIT at the school track and all I can say was I was BEAT! This is what I did:
30 sec full out with 60 sec of normal running. I did this 7 times.....I would like to get up to 30/60 : 10 times
I'm going to try this for the next month or so and see what my fat burning looks like.

4 new ways to solve the energy challengeJanuary 5, 2012: 5:00 AM ET
In labs around the globe, scientists are working on radical technologies, from 500-mile car batteries to solar space farms.
By Stuart F. Brown and Anne VanderMey
1. Building a 500-mile car battery
The holy grail in the electric-car world is beating range anxiety: the fear you'll run out of juice in the middle of nowhere. Today's electrics, like the Nissan Leaf, have a range of about 100 miles, but scientists at IBM (IBM) are in hot pursuit of a better technology. In the 1990s researchers hypothesized that they could create energy by combining lithium with oxygen, making what is now referred to as a lithium-air battery. (See diagram below.) Today IBM and some 50 other labs globally are working on versions that would let an electric car go 500 miles a charge -- a potential game changer for models like BMW's i3 concept vehicle (above).
The challenges are massive -- recharging the battery is tricky, and durability is an issue. Also, to get the battery to release power quickly enough for passing requires expensive nanotechnology. "It remains a long shot, but we're excited by the potential," says Winfried Wilcke, IBM's lead researcher on the project. Big Blue sees a prototype by 2013 and commercialization as early as decade's end. --A.V.

If the media you plan to upload is 100% your own original creation you have every right to upload it online without restriction.
If you plan to upload media (movies, images and music) not originally created by you, even a second of footage, there could potentially be copyright protection issues and you could be subject to all the penalties that comes with that protection. The University of Washington does not have a dedicated policy on the use of copyrighted materials for educational purposes. That being said, places outside the University may have severe consequences for uploading/downloading copyrighted material onto/from the internet.
Where do I stand as faculty, staff or student?
DVD's and VHS: "Between now and 2015, it will be legal to rip a DVD "in order to make use of short portions of the motion pictures for the purpose of criticism or comment in the following instances: (i) in noncommercial videos; (ii) in documentary films; (iii) in nonfiction multimedia e-books offering film analysis; and (iv) for educational purposes in film studies or other courses requiring close analysis of film and media excerpts, by college and university faculty, college and university students, and kindergarten through twelfth grade educators." A similar exemption applies for "online distribution services."
Using media in the classroom: For the most part, using legally acquired media in the classroom is permitted up to a certain point. However, there may be limitations when using copyrighted materials in the classroom so it is important to check with your departmental librarian.
Downloading and using Media from the Internet: According to current copyright rules the act of downloading copyrighted materials from the internet is not allowed. It is also an act of copyright infringement when you share the material(s) in class. The University of Washington Bothell cannot support or aid in the act of downloading copyrighted media from the internet for academic purposes.
For those who are interested in legally avalible media we have a large collection of Creative Commons links (i.e. copyright free) online here: http://www.uwb.edu/learningtech/digital-media-services/creative-commons
Fair Use: What is Fair Use? Fair Use is the use of copyrighted/non-copyrighted materials from the web, media (Video, Images, and Music) as supplemental material for educational projects. Laws very on the issue of fair use and it is important to read up on current fair use guidlines - http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl102.html - is a great place to start.
How to play it safe?
One of the only way to be safe when using someone elses media is to write them a letter asking them to grant you rights to use it. This is not as complicated as you might think! A number of online resources, such as Youtube and Vimeo, allow you to contact the owners directly.
It is important to disclose the following information to the individual if you wish to use their media.
Your Name
The type of project you will be making
Will your project be for profit? In most cases people will say no unless they are paid for their material.
How long will this project remain online?
It is best to build a report with the creator as they will be more inclined to let you use their materials in the future.
Will you be using this project outside of the University or after you graduate? - If the answer is yes: Once you leave the University all copyrighted material you used will no longer fall under educational use.
Anytime you quote from a book you are required to cite the author or it is considered plagiarism. Media is is no different, it is your responsibility to give credit to all the sources you used to give credit to the actual author.
Sometimes authors will make work with the intention of allowing others to use it. It is called Creative Commons and there are a number of websites online offering free media to use for projects. It is highly recommended, if you plan to put your video on Youtube or Vimeo, that you only utilize creative commons works. One thing to note, there are various types of Creative Commons works so be mindful of the license attached to the particular piece of media you are planning to using.
What can't I host host online via the major video hosting sites (Youtube and Vimeo)?
Media in a full unaltered state.
TV Shows
Music - Full Song
Media that was created by another individual.
These websites do not differentiate between Fair Use for educational purposes and Re-distribution of copyrighted materials for personal/public viewing.
Here are the current guidelines for YouTube and Vimeo.
Note: Because Youtube and Vimeo are non-university run websites it is often harder/impossible to make a fair use claim when using copyrighted material in your projects.
What can you upload?
1) Non profit/educational use of material has a better chance of being fair use than commercial use of material.
2) Using material for non-fictional work has a better chance of being fair use than using it for fictional work.
3) Using smaller portions of material from an original work has a better chance of being fair use than using large portions.
4) If you are profiting from the work using someone else's original material it is less likely to be fair use.
Important note from YouTube:
"I purchased or recorded the content myself. Why was it removed? Just because you purchased content doesn't mean that you own the rights to upload it to YouTube. Even if you give the copyright owner credit, posting videos that include content you purchased may still violate copyright law. Additionally, recording a television show, video game, concert or other performance with your phone, camera or microphone doesn't mean that you own all rights to upload it to YouTube. This is true even if the event or show you recorded was open to the public. For example, recording a concert of your favorite band does not necessarily give you the right to reproduce and distribute the video without permission from the appropriate rights owners."
What are the consequences of copyright infringement on YouTube?
"On YouTube, the consequences of copyright infringement are simple. We comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and other applicable copyright laws. Under these laws, we remove videos when properly notified that they violate copyright. If we receive a valid infringement notification identifying videos in your account, they will be removed and you will receive a strike. If you receive three strikes, your YouTube account will be terminated. At time of termination, all your other videos will be removed and you will be permanently blocked from creating new accounts or accessing YouTube's community features in the future. In addition, copyright owners may choose to sue for infringement. In the U.S., copyright infringement may result in statutory damages of up to $150,000 per work and, in some cases, criminal penalties."
"Content Restrictions:
You may not upload, post, or transmit (collectively, "submit") any video, image, text, audio recording, or other work (collectively, "content") that:
1) Infringes any third party's copyrights or other rights (e.g., trademark, privacy rights, etc.);
2) Contains sexually explicit content or pornography (provided, however, that non-sexual nudity is permitted);
3) Contains hateful, defamatory, or discriminatory content or incites hatred against any individual or group;
4) Exploits minors - images of people under the age of 18.
5) Depicts unlawful acts or extreme violence;
6) Depicts animal cruelty or extreme violence towards animals;
7) Promotes fraudulent schemes, multi level marketing (MLM) schemes, get rich quick schemes, online gaming and gambling, cash gifting, work from home businesses, or any other dubious money-making ventures; or
8) Violates any law.
9) All videos you submit must also comply with our Uploading Guidelines, which are incorporated into this Agreement. If you are a Vimeo PRO user, you must comply with our Vimeo PRO Guidelines."
Vimeo also follows DMCA law.
Fair Use and Hosting Media internally:
University Of Washington:
UW Fair use policies: It is important to note that fair use policies are still somewhat vague and can change on a case-to-case basis. For this reason UW has no official fair use policy.
"Few guidelines have been established to define the extent of fair use and even fewer have emerged to address the complex questions of digital fair use. This is largely due to the wide variety of copyrightable works and the new ways these works may be used in the academic setting. The guidelines provided in the following sections have been developed from a variety of sources external to the University of Washington and do not address every situation that may arise. UW has not adopted official guidelines for determining fair use."
Canvas, Google Drive and Tegrity all considered property of the University. Thus, internally hosted, private, media shared via these services is generally non-restrictive. Media made available to the public via these services could be subject to copyright infringement.
For information on how to upload media into canvas please look here: http://www.uwb.edu/learningtech/help/how-to/canvas-for-faculty/sharing-media-canvas
Here are some more helpful links describing Fair Use and Copyright at the University of Washington.
http://depts.washington.edu/uwcopy/Using_Copyright/Guidelines/ and http://www.lib.washington.edu/help/guides/copyright.html
CopyRight.GOV and Copyright in the United States:
This is how the United States government has determined what is potentially fair use:
"1) The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes.
2) The nature of the copyrighted work.
3) The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole.
4) The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of, the copyrighted work."
They go on to say that there is no distinction of what is fair use. There is not set amount of chords (music) or frames (video and images) that will determine what is safe. In other words fair use is very blurry set of boundaries. Also giving credit to the source does not mean that your media is now fair use. The safest thing you could do is get the authors permission to use their work.
One last thing to keep in mind is if you are actually transforming the material you are using to create something unique. There is a better chance that will be an original creation compared to only using something to maintain or reinforce it's original creators intent. Create something new out of original material will more likely fall under the fair use law even though it is not a guarantee.

No. 2 JMU Earns 10-2 Victory in Six Innings over No. 3 Delaware in CAA Softball Championship Game Two
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (May 8, 2013) – Second-seeded James Madison scored seven runs during the bottom of the fourth inning and added three in the sixth as the Dukes posted a 10-2 victory in six innings over the third-seeded Delaware on Wednesday during the first day of the 2013 Colonial Athletic Association Tournament at the Hofstra Softball Stadium.
The Dukes, who improved to 40-13 on the year, will face Hofstra during Thursday's first game as the Pride shut out Towson, 6-0, in the opening game on Wednesday. Delaware, which had its three-game winning streak snapped while dropping to 35-21 on the season, will take on the Tigers in an elimination game at 2:30 p.m. on Thursday.
The Blue Hens loaded the bases with one out in the top of the first inning as Jessica Grisler and Shelby Jones each singled before Marisa Newman was hit by a pitch. However Lisa Stacevicz hit a soft liner that was caught by Dukes pitcher Jailyn Ford, who then ran to the third base bag to double off Lara Andrews and end the inning.
The Dukes also loaded the bases with one out during the bottom of the frame, but Delaware starter Taylor Curran got Caitlyn Sandy to bounce into a fielder's choice and Erica Field to fly out to center to keep the game scoreless.
It was still a 0-0 game through three and a half innings, before JMU exploded for seven runs on eight hits in the bottom of the fourth. The Dukes loaded the bases with one out, before RBI singles by Jasmine Butler and Sarah Mooney gave James Madison a two-run advantage. After Morgan Heath scored on a fielder's choice by Ford, Sandy drove a single up the middle to score pinch runner Brittany Jeans and make it a 4-0 game. Field then knocked home Cassidy Clayton with an infield single, before Megan Shinaberry capped the rally with a two-run double into the leftfield corner.
The Blue Hens got on the board during the top of the fifth when Amanda Stacevicz led off with a triple to centerfield and scored one out later on a squeeze bunt by Hannah George.
Delaware rallied again in the sixth, as singles by Lara Andrews, Jones and Michelle McKinnon loaded the bases with two outs. Tori Conrad followed by working a walk, forcing home Andrews to cut the deficit to 7-2. Gina Knutson then entered the game as a pinch hitter, but she popped out to second base as Ford got out of the jam.
The Dukes then scored three runs in the bottom of the sixth inning, ending the game due to the mercy rule. After Hannah Hayes and Heath recorded RBI singles, Butler legged out an infield single to score Hayes with the final run.
Heath finished 4 for 4 while Shinaberry and Hayes added three hits apiece for the Dukes, who pounded out 18 hits on the night.
Jones went 2-for-3 to lead the seven-hit Blue Hen attack, while five other UD players had one hit each.
Ford improved to 22-4 for the Dukes after allowing two runs on seven hits with four strikeouts, while Curran dropped to 6-6 for Delaware as she was charged with five runs on 13 hits 5.1 innings of work.

Skiing is a recreational activity and competitive sport in which the participant attaches skis to boots or shoes on the feet and uses them to travel on top of snow. Aside from recreation and competition, skiing has been used for military purposes and travelling in areas that experience heavy snowfall. Until about 1860 skiing was primarily used for practical transport purposes in snow-rich areas, from around 1860 skiing for recreation, exercise and competition was introduced.1 Many types of competitive skiing events are recognized by the International Olympic Committee, and the International Ski Federation.
The oldest and most accurately documented evidence of skiing origins is found in modern day Norway and Sweden. The earliest primitive carvings circa 5000 B.C. depict a skier with one pole, located in Rødøy in the Nordland region of Norway. The first primitive ski was found in a peat bog in Hoting, Sweden which dates back to 4500 or 2500 B.C.23 Joel Berglund reported in 2004 the discovery of a primitive ski, or "85cm long piece of wood", carbon tested by researchers in 1997 while excavating a Norse settlement near Nanortalik, Greenland. The primitive ski dated back to 1010, and is thought to be Greenland's oldest ski brought by Norsemen circa 980 A.D.4
The word "ski" itself is one of a handful of words Norway has exported to the international community. It comes from the Old Norse word "skíð" which means "split piece of wood or firewood".56
The first Australian recreational ski club was formed in 1861 at Kiandra,7 where the first documented international downhill carnival was also held.8 Military ski races were held in Norway during the 18th century.9 The first public skiing competition ("betting race") was held in Tromsø, Norway on March 19, 1843. It was also the first skiing competition reported in a newspaper.10
Types of skiing
Also called downhill skiing, alpine skiing typically takes place at a ski resort or dry slope. It originated in the European Alps, and is characterized by fixed-heel bindings that attach at both the toe and the heel of the skier's boot. Sub-genres of alpine skiing include:
- Freestyle
- Heliskiing
- Competitive classes include: slalom, giant slalom, Super-G, Downhill, and disabled skiing.
In alpine skiing, for every 1000 people skiing in a day, on average between two and four will require medical attention. Knee injuries account for 33 percent of injuries. Most accidents are the result of user error leading to an isolated fall.11
Cross-country or backcountry skiing is the oldest form of skiing and was developed in Scandinavia as a way of traveling over snow. It uses free-heel bindings that attach at the toes of the skier's boots but not at the heels. Various specialties of competitive or recreational skiing developed from this basic style, sub-genres of Nordic skiing include:

Public Universities Changing to Meet Oregon's Needs,
Chancellor Says in Portland City Club Speech
PORTLAND - Oregon's public universities have embarked on an ambitious new agenda to improve access, quality and cost-effectiveness, the Chancellor of the Oregon University System said here Friday.
Speaking to the Portland City Club, Chancellor Joe Cox said the "recapitalization" of the state university system promises to meet growing statewide needs in higher education. It will also mean a new way of doing business for Oregon's seven public universities in the 21st century.
"We've discarded the notion that our universities deserve support primarily because they have been established in the public trust," Cox said. The Oregon University System share of the state's general fund has shrunk to roughly half of what it was a decade ago.
"For the first time, our public universities have a strategic plan that complements the State of Oregon's plan."
Cox said the State Board of Higher Education has approved a major restructuring, including development of a new budget model, targeted initiatives and performance measures for each OUS campus.
The reform efforts are in direct response to the rapidly changing economy and anticipated population growth in Oregon. Since 1995, high technology jobs have out-paced the state's historic strength in natural resource-related employment. Economists predict that many of state's fastest growing occupations will require applicants to hold a bachelor's degree or better.
"The dynamics of these market changes both underlies and caused the extraordinary story of the transformation of Oregon public higher education," said Cox.
According the Cox, Oregon's public universities are aiming to improve graduation rates by 2 percent in the next two years, adding 13,450 to the state's workforce, including between 350 and 400 additional graduates in the critical fields such as engineering, computer science and mathematics.
Other system goals include producing 200 more teachers in the high demand areas of special education, bilingual education, speech therapy, counseling and foreign language; increasing freshman grade point averages; increasing externally funded research; expanding lifelong learning opportunities for an additional 15,000 working adults; and developing internships for all students.
He said the state's public universities are again becoming "the choice of Oregon high school graduates." An estimated 20.8 percent of this spring's Oregon high school graduating class will enroll on OUS campuses next fall. The projection is the highest in a decade.
"We must continue to retain the best and brightest in our state. But, we must also attract and retain the best and brightest from other states if we are to more fully respond to Oregon's high demand for a skilled and knowledge-based workforce. The talent pool will be critical to our effectiveness," Cox said.
The "best and brightest" also includes faculty, he said.
"Our faculty is one of Oregon's greatest resources," Cox said. "But they too need improved support for salary, for professional development and for the opportunity to add knowledge and value to Oregon through research and public service."
With that support, he said, higher education can become Oregon's "best hope for the future."
OUS campuses include Eastern Oregon University, LaGrande; Oregon Institute of Technology, Klamath Falls; Oregon State University, Corvallis; Portland State University; Southern Oregon University, Ashland; the University of Oregon, Eugene; and Western Oregon University, Monmouth.

Trade capacity building
UNIDO support to trade capacity building combines building up the technical infrastructure required to participate in international trade and strengthens key export sectors that require support services in upgrading the productive and export capacities. In today's business environment, a functioning Quality Infrastructure is a prerequisite for access to regional and global markets and a key determinant of competitive advantage. Globalization of world trade and the requirements of the Agreements on Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) and Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (SPS) of the World Trade Organization (WTO) for the reduction of technical barriers to trade urgently call for measures to consolidate quality infrastructure
The TCB programmes draws on UNIDO's technical expertise and on its strong linkages with external partners as well as on inter-organizational cooperation with donors such as the European Union, WTO, UNCTAD, ITC and ISO.
Furthermore, UNIDO offers programmes to facilitate market access through business partnerships and the promotion of Export Consortia. The Responsible Entrepreneurs Achievement Programme (REAP) was developed within the UNIDO CSR programme that provides training and support to SMEs in implementing the principles of Corporate Social Responsibility.
In Tanzania, UNIDO is implementing two important projects in this area:
Upgrading Quality Infrastructure in Tanzania: under this project, the Tanzania Bureau of Standards (TBS) and other institutions of the Tanzania quality infrastructure such as the Weights and Measures Agency (WMA), the Tanzania Food and Drugs Authority (TFDA), are being supported to provide improved metrology and calibration services, including maintenance and accreditation, certification and testing services to institutional and private sector customers through mobile calibration, measurement facilities, consumer packaging and implementation of quality and productivity improvement/ management systems.
EAC Regional Project Supporting the Agro-Food Industry: this regional project will enhance the capacity of EAC countries (including Rwanda and Burundi) as a whole to participate in international trade in two ways: first through the enhancement of enterprises capacity to produce according to international market requirements and second, through the strengthening of export-oriented support services, mainly related to conformity assessment.
