MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF VISITORS OF VIRGINIA COMMONWEALTH UNIVERSITY March 15, 1979 A regular meeting of the Board of Visitors of Virginia Commonwealth University was held on Thursday, March 15, 1979, at 9:00 a.m. in the Conference Room at 910 West Franklin Street. Present were Drs. Blanton, Gayle, Johnson and Nemuth; Messrs. Bliley, Dabney, Grey, Norris and Shumate; and Mesdames Fewell, Satterfield, Stone and Thalhimer. Absent were Messrs. Scott and Seaborn. Also present were Drs. Ackell, Beller, Brooke, Wilson and Woods; Messrs. Bruegman, Guerdon and Ross; Miss Cosby and Mrs. Price. Dr. Blanton called the meeting to order. On motion made and seconded, the Minutes of a Special Meeting of the Student Affairs Committee, held January 16, 1979; a Special Meeting of the Property Committee, held January 16, 1979; a Special Meeting of the Audit Committee, held January 17, 1979; a Regular Meeting of the Board of Visitors, held January 18, 1979; and a Special Meeting of the Hospital Committee, held March 1, 1979, were approved. The Report of the Legal Advisor followed. Mr. Ross reported on the various cases now outstanding against VCU. He also distributed materials on the Freedom of Information Act which will become effective on July 1, 1979. Since this item has so many complicated features, it was decided that this would be an item of discussion at a evening session of the Board to be held on May 16, 1979, at 6:00 p.m. Mr. Ross was asked to provide a summary of the Freedom of Information Act for this special meeting. On motion made and seconded, the Report of the Legal Advisor was accepted by the Board. Following a discussion, on motion made and seconded, the Faculty Appointments and Changes in Status were approved, including the appointment of Mr. Myles Lash, Executive Director of MCVH. Mr. Lash is expected around May 15, 1979. Page 2 The Faculty Promotions for the Academic Campus were presented. Following a discussion, on motion made and seconded, the Faculty Promotions for the Academic Campus were approved. Following a discussion, on motion made and seconded, the Faculty Promotions for the MCV Campus were approved. Mr. Guerdon presented the Report of Gifts, Grants and Contracts. The large number of City I donations from area businesses were noted with appreciation by the Board. On motion made and seconded, the Report of Gifts, Grants and Contracts was approved. The list of contracts signed since the January meeting was presented by Mr. Guerdon. Following a review, on motion made and seconded, the list of contracts signed since the January meeting was accepted by the Board. Mr. Guerdon presented an explanation of the distribution of the Isaac Davenport Estate in response to several questions that had been raised at the last meeting of the Board. The Davenport Will states, in part, that "all income received shall be used exclusively for the care, maintenance, and/or treatment (as the case may be) of indigent, sick and/or afflicted persons, and for no other purposes whatsoever." One-third of the income, which is payable quarterly, comes to the University. The University share for fiscal year 1978 amounted to $122,358. As of January 31, 1979, the balance in the income account was $248,000. Mr. Guerdon reported that the funds have generally been used for the write-off of bad debts due to the care of the indigent. A special hospital committee determines which accounts will be funded from the Davenport income. The consensus of the Board was that, rather than use this fund as a general write-off of bad debts, it should be used on an individual need basis. Mr. Ross, who serves as a member of the review committee, indicated that cases have been considered individually and most have been hardship cases. Mrs. Thalhimer asked whether a year-end balance could be used for capital improvements in the clinics at MCV. Mr. Ross in- Page 3 dictated that he would check into this matter to see if the funds could be used in such a way. Mr. Guerdon reported that he would report to the committee that distributes these funds the sense of the Board in this matter and ask the committee to draw up some guidelines to present to the Board at a later date. Dr. Wayne Hall presented a request from the School of the Arts requesting that April 8, 1979, be declared Mr. Frantisek Smetana Day. This date marks the fiftieth anniversary of Mr. Smetana's first recital in 1928 in Prague, Czechoslovakia. Following a discussion, on motion made and seconded, the declaration of Mr. Frantisek Smetana Day on April 8, 1979, was approved. The Report of the President followed. During the President's Report, the Oregon Hill situation was discussed. Dr. Ackell reported that he and Dr. Blanton had just met with Councilman Chuck Richardson and once again explained the University's position. In addition, Dr. Blanton announced that he and Dr. Ackell would be meeting with Mr. Jenkins and three of his associates at 12 noon today. Following a lengthy discussion, on motion made, seconded and approved, the Board of Visitors reaffirmed its support of the University's expansion plans and the manner in which the administration is proceeding. Dr. Beller presented a resolution dealing with a System for Hospital Uniform Reporting (SHUR). Following a discussion, on motion made and seconded, the following resolution was approved: The Board of Visitors of Virginia Commonwealth University supports federal government and health care industry efforts to contain costs, reduce fraud and abuse in the Medicare-Medicaid programs, and improve financial controls in health care institutions. Page 4 WHEREAS, Congress passed Public Law 95-142, the "Medicare-Medicaid Anti- Fraud and Abuse Amendments," which enable the Health Care Financing Adminis- tration (HCFA) to issue regulations implementing this law, and WHEREAS, the draft regulations propose a System for Hospital Uniform Reporting (SHUR) to be effective for fiscal years commencing after January 1, 1980, that does not satisfy the intent of Public Law 95-142 in that the data required by such reporting has no readily understood relationship to the stated purpose of the law - "to detect, prosecute and punish fraudulent activities under the Medicare and Medicaid programs;" and WHEREAS, SHUR departs from the usual form of accounting and results in unnecessary record keeping burdens for regulatory purposes; and WHEREAS, SHUR requires a cost allocation methodology which does not the most accurate or appropriate cost allocations to the Medicare Program; recognize differences between types of hospitals and does not allow for THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Visitors of Virginia Common- wealth University urges the HCFA to delay the implementation of SHUR until after January 1, 1981; to incorporate suggestions for improvement from the various interested constituencies; to clarify the objectives of the regula- tions and ensure that they are made consistent with the legislative intent of Congress; and to derive a modified uniform reporting system that will be within the practical capabilities of health care institutions to implement. Dr. Gayle reported on behalf of the Hospital Committee. He reported that the number of patient days is up, and there has been a slight increase in occupancy. However, the length of stay for a patient is down. The collection of bad debts has also increased. Dr. Ackell reported that, without the hard and diligent work of the Hospital Committee over the past year, we would have been unable to recruit such a highly qualified hospital director as Mr. Lash. On majority vote of the Board, an executive session was held to hear the Report of the Honorary Degree Committee. The meeting adjourned at 12 noon for lunch. Following lunch, Dr. Hall presented a review of the Alcohol Education Program, which is funded through a grant from the Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation. Currently, this grant is on a one-year basis but has been renewed for the coming academic year. This is a very worthwhile project but it is difficult for staff members since there is a great deal of uncertainty from year to year re- Page 5 garding the grant's renewal. A question was raised concerning the Substance Abuse Program at the hospital. Dr. Ackell reported that this program belongs to the Department of Health but is housed in our facilities. Therefore, MCV/VCU receives the criticism. Dr. Ackell reported that we are working with the Department of Health to solve some of the problems that exist. He also indicated that we could have a quality program in substance abuse if the University were allowed to manage it. The Chairmen of the Academic Policy Committee, the Executive Committee and the Audit Committee reported that they did not have reports to make at this Board meeting. . Mr. Norris reported on behalf of the Student Affairs Committee. There is a student group working to establish a student government on the Academic Campus. They have held a retreat and developed a constitution. During the past week, they have held public hearings on the proposed constitution. However, they have not been well attended even though each student received a direct mailing and the hearings have been held at different times and on different days. The Student Affairs Com- mittee itself has not been involved in this matter but does remain interested in the process and product. process and product. Mrs. Satterfield reported for the Property Committee. At its last meeting, the Committee reviewed the capital outlay requests for 1980-82 and overhead funding for projects for 1978-80. The committee approved these documents as submitted. Mr. Bruegman also reported to the Committee on the situation with the smoke stacks and the new hospital. He reported that it would cost about $1.2 million to build new smoke stacks or $4.2 million to add scrubbers to existing stacks. The administration is not ready to make a recommendation regarding the stacks at this time. is not ready to make a recommendation regarding the stacks at this time. Mrs. Fewell asked if the Virginia Hospital Laundry was operating more efficiently. Page 6 Mr. Guerdon reported that the new manager has made great progress in the 15- to 18- months that he has been there. However, they are still experiencing some inventory problems. The meeting was adjourned at 2:00 p.m. Anne P. Satterfield, Secretary Approved: REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT March 15, 1979 1. Oregon Hill - Dr. Ackell reported that he and Dr. Blanton had just met with Councilman Chuck Richardson and reaffirmed the University's decision to ex- pand in Oregon Hill. Dr. Ackell also reported that we have reviewed alternatives and none of them is feasible at this date. Mr. Bruegman reported that we are continuing to work closely with the people in this area and we have been able to identify only five owner/occupants who are unwilling to relocate. Mr. Bruegman also reported that once the Council on the Environment acts on our impact statement, the State will release the money so that we may begin to actually purchase the property. 2. Pharmacy/Pharmacology Building - Dr. Ackell reported that he had met recently with Mr. Robins regarding his gift to help construct the Pharmacy/Pharmacology Building. Dr. Ackell indicated that we may have to make additional changes to this structure to build it within the funds available. 3. Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals - Dr. Ackell reported that a site visit team from JCAH was on campus last week. We will probably receive another one-year accreditation. This lack of full accreditation does not reflect the quality of the hospitals but has to do with life safety codes in the hospitals. 4. Development Study - Dr. Ackell reported that members of the Board had been mailed a summary of the Development Study. However, Board members can re- view the entire document if they wish. This item will be discussed in de- tail at the next Board meeting. 5. Fan Conduct - Dr. Ackell reported that although he was not present at the ODU basketball game, he was very disappointed at the reports he received concerning student/fan conduct. He reported an effort was made to reach the student leader- ship before the Madison game to let them know the administration was displeased. The results were evident at the Madison game. There was a lot of good, clean sportsmanship. 6. Commencement - Dr. Ackell announced that Commencement would be held on Saturday, May 12, 1979, at 10:00 a.m. in the Richmond Coliseum. Former Congressman Paul Rogers will be the speaker. 7. Walking Tour at MCV Campus - Dr. Ackell announced that following today's meeting a walking tour of the MCV Campus would be conducted by Dr. R. B. Young and Dr. Lauren A. Woods.

David Ashman is the developer behind LockInfo, the popular notification and lock screen information app for Jailbreak -- and he's just seen Apple add their own version of both those features to iOS 5. So how does he feel about that, and what does it mean for the future of LockInfo?
Check out the video above, shot at WWDC 2011 the day after the keynote to see what he says. (Spoiler: While Apple may fill the needs of casual users, LockInfo is going to make the pros very, very happy for a long time to come.)
I don't think native "quick-replies" are out of the question for the future of iOS. I'm a bit surprised they didn't make it into iOS 5.0, but I think now that Apple has everything BUT that in the notification, we'll see more of a push from end users to demand just that.
It's all great for adults who have eihisnfd their basic education, but I do not agree with? parents using technology like this to teach reading. Reading involves mentally translating symbols into images, ideas, and feelings, whereas technology like TV and computers do that for you (images/sounds), reducing your ability to do the reverse (images/feelings into words). Many kids can't express themselves in correct- colorful ways,and must cultivate good reading habits before the excitement of iPad
Sorry this is off the subject. Just to let everyone know who has the IOS5 beta. Apple made it where you can individually delete a recent call..
No quick reply = garbage ;(.
Bitesms and lockinfo will remain
Darn it! As I was saying...Apple finally gets around to implementing something that we've been asking for forever now, and then only does it halfway. Can I put weather on their lockscreen? How about my calendar? If not, I'll pass, and stick with Lockinfo, as it's so much more useful. Plus, I'd rather give my money to someone who actually listens to what their customers want instead of tells me what I want and expects me to fawn all over them as if they did something amazing for me.
Lockinfo will continue to be better and allow a whole more customization than Apple will ever be able to respond too.
Ya I'm sure Apple will totally suffer, like each past quarter they are going to have terrible sales because of their crap job...oh wait...And if u wanna know the weather...use a window.
Does anybody know if iOS 5 provides any icons on the status bar like LockInfo does?
No, it does not. There is no centralized notification center. You just have to check the "Apple" InfoShade to see if you have new notifications (especially since you can have apps put themselves in the aInfoShade, but not show an alert.
I have noticed that fees for innteert degree specialists tend to be an awesome value. For instance a full Bachelors Degree in Communication from The University of Phoenix Online consists of 60 credits with $515/credit or $30,900. Also American Intercontinental University Online makes available Bachelors of Business Administration with a whole school requirement of 180 units and a worth of $30,560. Online studying has made having your diploma far less difficult because you can certainly earn your own degree from the comfort of your abode and when you finish working. Thanks for all other tips I have learned from your site.
the Xoom is better, the iPad2 owner says the iPad2. The Xoom has flash and iPad2 doesn't which is a win for Xoom, but the Xoom seems slewor to take a picture. Speakers: The Xoom has two small speakers, iPad2 has one slightly larger speaker. The sound is somewhat better quality on the iPad2 and the Xoom cannot achieve the same volume as the iPad2. But they are both pretty poor use earphones or an external speaker if you want decent audio. Battery life: Difficult for me to give an exact comparison, but based on family usage it seems the iPad2 has the edge here, but not by much. Internal storage: The Xoom has 1GB of RAM and 32 GB of flash storage. The iPad2 has 512MB of RAM and 16GB, 32GB or 64GB of flash storage I bought the 64GB model. External storage: The Xoom has an external card slot that supports SD cards, but the software was not ready in time for the product release. The slot is inoperative until Motorola releases an operating system update. The iPad2 has no external storage support. User Experience: The iPad2 was up and running quite quickly. I connected the device to iTunes and it automatically updated to the latest version of the operating Help other customers find the most helpful reviewsa0Was this review helpful to you?a0 | a0
Can't he sue? Since the FCC said Jailbreaking is legal, Lockinfo is legal. He could sue Apple the same way Apple is suing Samsung. Samsung says "there are only so many ways to make a phone, so they just happen to look similar" would be hilarious to hear the same thing from Apple about Lockinfo.
No, not unless he has a design patent that apple infringed upon.
Your logic is also slightly flawed. The Library of Congress stated that jailbreaking is legal, but that doesn't matter. Lockinfo has never been illegal, so it was not suddenly made legal by the fact that the act that required it to be loaded became legal. The software was legal from the beginning, even when there was ambiguity as to whether jailbreaking was. The only way it could be illegal would be if it copied code verbatim from Apple, which it didn't.
He's absolutely right.
The iOS version will be great for my wife, but there is no way I'm giving up lockinfo for it. Far superior! Apple should have hired Ashman!
I thought Apple either paid him off or hired him?
I think an app launcher, like favorite contacts, would be a great idea. No need for iOS notifications.
No it didn't... I have my local weather in my notification centre. It's above everything else that appears there. I can also swipe across the weather to show a full week of weather forecasts.
I'm also not jailbroken.
the notification centre does show calendar events. Just not from the lock screen.
I can't wait for iOS 5 to be jailbroken (untethered).
Unfortunately, I only found out about LockInfo today! I must have been living under a rock! So I don't know what it's really like :(
My lockinfo and the callender was displaying information in Georgian, which suddenly disappeared and is no longer available in International Region Format, where all the countries are listed except Georgia. I have Iphone 3GS running on iOS 5. If anyone knows, please let me know how to revert the English display back to Georgian. My calender was also in Georgian and I miss it a lot.
Apple's implementation of notifications on the lock screen is pitiful. We're a long, long way from not needing LockInfo. Hands down the most useful bit of software I have on my phone.

Hi. I'm reviewing your Just Spring book and watned to download the examples from o'reilly. Do you have a zipped version of the example directory? At present, they're only offered to be downloaded a file at a time, which is rather painful and time-consuming. Thanks, Ken

Bilcare research cost-effectively scales for Business Growth with Red Hat Enterprise Linux with Integrated Virtualization
July 20, 2011
Customer: Bilcare Limited
To set up a scalable and cost-effective system infrastructure for core business that is easy to deploy and enables ease of management of a heterogeneous IT infrastructure with little impact on existing IT services
Bilcare Research virtualized its entire infrastructure on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Platform with integrated virtualization, providing on-demand business scalability, while achieving significant cost savings and increased operational efficiencies.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Platform with integrated virtualization and clustering technologies, SAP: mySAP Business Suite of Applications, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft Active Directory, Microsoft SQL Server
Dell & IBM servers & storage system
Attained a highly cost-effective and consistent virtualized IT infrastructure; reduced costs with a reduction in power, space, and management overhead costs; improved operational efficiency; and achieved on-demand provisioning time for new machines. "The hardware-assisted virtualization offered by Red Hat delivered enterprise-class performance and reliability resulting in an uninterrupted shift to a virtual environment." -Manoj Arora, CIO, Bilcare Research
Bilcare Research partners is an innovation-led solutions provider that partners with the global pharmaceutical and healthcare industry to improve patient healthcare outcomes. An R&D driven organization, Bilcare Research focuses on developing cutting-edge solutions that enable the pharmaceutical industry to realize significant qualitative and measurable cost and time benefits in the "drug discovery to market" value chain. Bilcare Research has a global footprint with modern manufacturing and R&D plants located across U.S., Europe, India and Singapore. The company has revenues of $165 million, more than 500 employees, 12 offices, more than 500 pharmaceutical customers. Bilcare Research drives its continual innovation process with a unilateral focus on addressing the key concerns and challenges of the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries.
Bilcare's business growth in the last three years led to a horizontal growth in IT systems and applications. The emerging focus of Bilcare on technology solutions and services for its customers required a scalable and cloud IT landscape to host its mission-critical systems. Bilcare also wanted to optimize its IT spending, leveraging existing IT assets, with no augmentation of its IT team due to reduced budgets.
Taashee Linux Services, a Red Hat Partner and the virtualization implementation partner for Bilcare, understood that in an effort to optimize IT resources, any selected solution had to leverage the existing IT infrastructure comprised of Microsoft Active Directory, Microsoft Exchange, and Microsoft SQL Servers. In addition, the final solution had to ensure maximized manageability of servers with installation and post-installation support.
Ease of migration of enterprise applications, performance, scalability, and stability of the virtualized platform were the key concerns for Bilcare as it explored new solutions. As Bilcare's business continued to grow, the increasing software licensing costs directly affected the organization's margins. Bilcare's key priority was to build a scalable infrastructure that could grow on demand, without having to make a significant investment in excess capacity.
"Our main concerns were on server utilization, performance, and continuity," said Manoj Arora, CIO, Bilcare Research. "We wanted a robust solution with minimal footprint and without any new complexity for up-time availability during and after our virtualization project."
Bilcare wanted a cost-effective solution that provided operational agility and enterprise-class reliability and performance. The technology leadership team at Bilcare had prior experience in virtualization on UNIX and other proprietary platforms of operating systems and hardware. They were convinced on the benefits of virtualization, but needed to validate whether x86-based virtualization would meet its enterprise needs. Published benchmarks for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Platform with integrated virtualization exceeded the company's expectations, giving the Bilcare team the confidence to make an informed decision.
The IT team at Bilcare considered various solutions with Taashee Linux Services including VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V, Citrix Xenserver, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux with integrated virtualization, and determined that Red Hat provided the most robust solution.
After carrying out various performance and reliability tests with the assistance of Taashee Linux Services, Bilcare decided to go ahead with Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Platform with integrated virtualization for its high performance levels in para-virtualized environments and lower costs in licensing and subsequent support requirements, thereby reinforcing the overall cost advantage with Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
In the first phase of installation, approximately 15 servers including Microsoft Exchange, Active Directory Server, file servers, web servers, SQL servers and other specialized application servers were virtualized. Taashee successfully consolidated each of Bilcare's physical servers onto two physical servers with 16 cores and 32 GB RAM each.
In phase two, Bilcare smoothly migrated its SAP applications to Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Platform with integrated virtualization. The transition was seamless for the business users, and made the deployment landscape homogeneous, while increasing operational efficiency for the IT team.
Overall, Bilcare will consolidate its entire production environment deployed on about 35 physical servers to six virtualized host servers, with planned capacity available in the virtualized environment for future growth.
Even as Bilcare's existing infrastructure transitioned over to Red Hat Enterprise Linux most of the network and security infrastructure remained the same. "We did not have to rewrite any of our existing network and firewall policies," said Arora.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Platform with integrated virtualization helped Bilcare to reduce its server footprint. The number of physical servers was reduced from 35 to six servers. Since Red Hat solutions are based on open standards, Bilcare is not locked into any specific operating system or hardware. Bilcare's experience in a variety of hardware platforms, combined with the increasing reliability and computing power of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, made the decision easy.
"The clustering technology included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Platform is a significant value add," said Abhishek Datt, CTO, Taashee Linux Services Ltd. "Without additional investment, Bilcare will get a proven fault tolerant system capable of automatically migrating virtual machines when hardware or system failures occur on the clustered physical servers."
The availability of a wide range of hardware and drivers certified by Red Hat, as part of its robust ecosystem, made the Red Hat solution more attractive than competing offerings.
Taashee Linux Services assisted Bilcare in developing template-based provisioning of Windows and Linux virtual machines to ease the task of provisioning new servers. With drag-and-drop features, virtual machines could be migrated live, from one physical host to another, in a matter of minutes as opposed to weeks in the physical environment.
Virtualization also brought in significant savings in power and cooling needs. The Red Hat solution was significantly lower in costs when compared with competing solutions. Another benefit was that configuration and settings from the physical world could be migrated to the virtual world without any changes or additional complexity.
"The hardware-assisted virtualization offered by Red Hat delivered enterprise-class performance and reliability resulting in an uninterrupted shift to a virtual environment," said Datt.
Due to the integrated virtualization approach in Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the Bilcare IT team did not require additional training or resources while transitioning from the physical to the virtualized environment. "The same IT team, which was managing our physical infrastructure, is now managing the entire virtualized infrastructure, and with greater ease," said Arora.
Virtualization platform capabilities, costs, and ability support with existing Linux resources played an important role in deciding the virtualization technology. "We may have not attempted such a widespread virtualization deployment without the Red Hat Enterprise Linux integrated virtualization offering and TCO therein," said Arora.

Hey everyone, just curious what you think. This is my first post. Drawing is roughly 20" by 50".
The head of the woman sitting is a bit big.
:rolleyes: i think this piece is a bit more deserving than "the head is to big"
rambhat : really nice piece.. and great size ! is one thing to see it on a screen small but to realize that it is actually much larger is really nice :) the light and rendering is really well done, and the composition works well for me.. althought there is a definite center focus my eyes are still moved around the piece from teh shapes and forms in the shadows and other objects. what medium is this?
anyway great piece i think. :chug:
Great piece. It does have a couple of minor things, but all in all. It rocks! :rock:
guys, this drawing is very impressive in real life....trust me. digi pic doesnt do it justice. Go RAAAAAAAAAAAM! scad represent. life force fo life.
whatever is wrong with this piece only adds to it's beauty.... any distortion makes it that much better... definite style here and has to be really fun to view in person! Got any more?
I will say first that it is truely impressive to take on the challenge of representing the room... as well as the models...
Besides the proportion issues, etc... that just get better with time, my real issue is the central placement of the figures... and not just that, it seems that it is divided into three pieces... more of a tryptic (sp?) than a single piece... Once it is more unified, and comes together as one, the small flaws will be ignore...
All in all excellent job...
nice drawing, but it feels a little grayed out. it could use more contrast, for sure. remember that things are either in dark (7-10) or in light (1-3). too much inbetween value makes your drawing a bit muddy. look at how much more striking your drawing is with more brightness and contrast in photoshop. you should try to draw this way.
Have you ever really studied Art?...cause you obviously have no idea what your talking about ...Quote:

Nicodemus: this piece is a study on life, we are here to get better. What Treb said is known to artist as CONSTRUCTIVE CRITISM...the piece is very impressive but it has its mistakes..to avoid repeating them we get critism...critism is more than "yeah nice piece, i love the color" that doesnt help much but when u say something to improve upon it, is when the artist realizes and fixes any little mistakes.
rambhat: impressive! treb is right the head feels too big, the figure on the left, the top of the torso isnt very convincing..but very well done piece...keep em coming

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford lunged for a one-yard touchdown after leading everyone—including his own offensive linemen—to believe he'd spike the ball with 12 seconds left to go, giving the Lions (5-3) a wild 31-30 win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Leading the way was Lions receiver Calvin Johnson, who carved up the Cowboys' defense for 329 receiving yards—the second-most in NFL history. For the Cowboys, now 4-4, the loss was another failure to take control of the abysmal NFC East, which will eventually be won by a mediocre team.

Elsewhere, the New England Patriots overcame Tom Brady's second straight subpar game with a 27-17 comeback win over Miami. The Dolphins, who led the game 17-3 at halftime, have now lost four straight after starting the season 3-0. The Kansas City Chiefs' perfect record is still intact thanks to a 23-17 win over the hapless Cleveland Browns. Alex Smith threw for 225 yards and Jamaal Charles ran for 74.

German racing sensation Sebastian Vettel made history at the Buddh International Circuit on Sunday, winning the Indian Grand Prix and clinching a fourth straight Formula 1 World Championship. Only two other drivers have accomplished this feat—Argentine Juan Manuel Fangio (1954-1957) and German Michael Schumacher (who racked up five from 2000-2004).
At age 26, Vettel is the youngest driver to win four consecutive championships. The Red Bull driver ran a smooth tire strategy to win his sixth straight Grand Prix, 29.8 seconds ahead of second place finisher, Nico Rosberg of Mercedes. Romain Grosjean of Lotus took an impressive third after starting 17th on the grid.

On Assignment Welcome to On Assignment at Jesuit Refugee Service International Office. Here you can read in-depth accounts of the experiences of staff in the field as they reflect on the delivery of services and the accompaniment of refugees and other forcibly displaced persons. |
Syria: we can still give people our time Damascus, 23 January 2014 - I have been working with JRS in Damascus for about nine months now, as the home visits coordinator. We have seven teams that visit families every day. They assess the needs of each family, and we are able to discern which families are in most need of help, or if they need specific assistance – medical and so on. Read more >> |
Croatia: a gift of enduring friendship Zagreb, 20 January 2014 – "I am over 50 years, but now I feel like orphan without Father Kušan." Stjepan Kušan SJ died in April 2013, aged 69, after 51 years as a Jesuit. This message came from Milan, a Croatian man who was devoted to Stjepan. Milan had been a soldier in the horrific Balkans wars in the nineties. Read more >> |
United Kingdom: mitigating harmful government policies on detained migrants London, 3 October 2013 – In a recent conversation with a German colleague I learned that oversight for the detention of asylum seekers has recently been granted to the courts, resulting in the dramatic reduction in the numbers detained. This is in sharp contrast with continuing practices in the United Kingdom where the decision to detain asylum seekers is made by civil servants with little judicial oversight. Equally important there is no limit to the duration of administrative detention in the UK, notwithstanding the potential impact on the health of detained asylum seekers. Read more >> |
Chad: a meeting of two worlds Goz Beida, 12 August 2013 - In September 2011, I arrived in Goz Beida, eastern Chad, to coordinate a JRS project supporting primary schools for displaced children. That I was in a Muslim country soon became amply clear. Here, women are veiled; greetings and conversations are peppered with Amdullah! (thanks be to God), Allebakhit! (God bless you), Inchallah! (God willing). Read more >> |
Geneva: the centrality of faith Geneva, 20 May 2013 - Recognising that faith plays a pivotal role in the experience of refugees is key to offering protection. There was no denying this reality during a high-level dialogue on faith and protection organised by UNHCR in Geneva in December 2012, which explored the centrality of faith for refugees, the strengths and challenges of faith-based organisations (FBOs) as well as their relationship with other humanitarian actors. However the UN agency admitted the need and announced steps to become more "faith-literate" to reach a deeper understanding of all these elements. Read more >> |
All that is not given is lost Chennai, 10 January 2013 – Pierre Ceyrac SJ died early on 30 May 2012 in Chennai at the age of 98. Pierre served with JRS in the camps of Cambodian refugees in Thailand from the early 1980s, indeed since the beginning of JRS. When Pierre died, a former JRS worker wrote, "an era of compassion without borders ends". Read more >> |
Colombia: life is stronger than death Buenaventura, 27 December 2012 – First day... 29 June 2008: A wonderful Sunday afternoon. Children ran in every possible direction on the football pitch and community grounds of San Francisco district in Buenaventura, Valle del Cauca. Men and women bustled around, preparing activities to celebrate life as a community, with music, singing and laughter. It was an occasion worth celebrating: the closure of an intensive process of formation and exchange of ideas, of identifying ways to live in such an adverse environment. Read more >> |
Jordan: when education is more than just learning Amman, 15 October 2012 – For eight months former Jesuit Refugee Service volunteer, Grace Benton, worked in a team of volunteers trying to offer refugees and their children the support they need to build a future. The courses went from strength to strength; but as she learned, the results were about more than learning curricular subjects, there were about building community and making refugees safer. Read more >> |
Democratic Republic of Congo: lives hanging in the balance in North Kivu North Kivu, 28 February 2012 – Emmanuel Mirimo Mateene used to own a house and a small piece of farm land. His life was peaceful and it was relatively easy for him to put food on the table for his family. But that was before broke out war in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Read more >> |
Ecuador: invisible Colombian refugees, discrimination and an uncertain future Quito, 02 February 2012 – Javier González* was teaching his nine-year-old son Miguel how to play chess when Miguel's mother, Rosa, interrupted their game to ask him what had happened at school today. Read more >> |
Portugal: going the extra mile, a focus on mental health Brussels, 01 November 2011 – JRS Europe Media Assistant Cathal Foley speaks to mental health counsellor Sr Maria Jose Rebelo who explains the importance of addressing psychosocial needs of forced migrants. Read more >> |
Jordan: Iraqi family mourns loss of daughter Amman, 20 April 2011 – Wafi Youssif recalls asking his daughter Raghda not to go to church because they had become targets for bombing attacks. She told her dad: "If I have to die, I don't mind dying in church". Unfortunately, a few hours later she did. Read more >> |
Ecuador: effects of the Colombian conflict hit women refugees Quito, 11 November 2010 – I am haunted by our delegation's visit to the border town of Lago Agrio, Ecuador, haunted by the stories of desperation from the refugee population, haunted by the lack of security offered to the residents, haunted by the lack of civilian state presence and the lack of UN presence besides UNHCR, haunted by the abuse suffered by the people at the hands of Colombian armed groups, the local police and even the Ecuadorian military. Read more >> |
Democratic Republic of Congo: building schools, Bringing hope Washington DC, 9 September 2010 – It's always a happy moment to accompany refugees as they return home after years of living in exile. For nearly 10 years Jesuit Refugee Service had cared for Congolese refugees, driven by war from their homes in the Democratic Republic of Congo, in Mwange Camp in northern Zambia. Although the camp was not far from the border with their home country, the ongoing conflict in the DRC made return impossible. Read more >> |
Haiti: planting hope in Koujol "Jesuit Refugee Service has been more than a father to us all!" With these words Clauden and Damais, the president and treasurer of a local community group in Koujol, Haiti, summed up the role that JRS has played during the past year in helping a group of 200 local farmers begin an innovative farming project in this small community just a stone's throw from Haiti's northeast border with the Dominican Republic. Read more >> |
USA: meeting spiritual needs in immigration detention centres John Krambuhl worked with JRS USA, focusing on the religious needs of immigration detainees in US government-sponsored detention facilities. Afterwards, John joined the faculty of Jesuit High School in Tampa to teach Theology and Ethics. John offered these reflections on his time spent with JRS USA. Read more >> |
USA: affirming human dignity in detention centres I asked myself, "How can one celebrate the freedom that Christ brings us in a detention center?" Still, I knew that 'Christ the King' was with these three hundred men. When the words of Gospel of Matthew 25 were proclaimed, a number of heads nodded in understanding. They knew Jesus was speaking about them: 'When I was in prison, you came and visited me. . . . Whatever you have done to the least of my brothers, you have done to me." These men knew what it means to be hungry, thirsty, naked, sick, what it means to be a stranger. Some of them had crossed the border long ago; some had crossed it only days before; all of them sought work in the US and a brighter future for their families. The poverty in their home countries — Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Mexico — had forced them to move North. Read more >> |
Burundi: you have not forgotten us, a goat programme In 2008 the government of Burundi and the rebel armed forces finally reached a negotiated peace settlement that marked the end of nearly two decades of conflict. During the past two years more than 95,000 Burundians have returned home after having spent nearly twelve years as refugees in Tanzania. In the face of this large influx of poor refugees, we asked ourselves how we could help create an environment that ensured adequate food for them as they return to Burundi. Read more >> |
Democratic Republic of Congo: quality indicators of JRS accompaniment Bujumbura, 18 June 2010 – 'Quality' and 'impact' have become key words in humanitarian discourse. Although it is easy to discuss these issues, it is not easy to assess the quality of our work. It is simpler to assess the quantity of services we provide: the number of schools built, books distributed, children in schools. However, when we talk about 'accompaniment' – the first word in the JRS mission – it is more complex to assess quality. Read more >> |
Thailand: A new way of being present Mae Hong Son, 6 December 2010 – When I was a novice in Scotland many years ago, our novice master faced the challenges of directing young men in the Jesuit way of life, but at a time when the world and the Church were going through profound changes. The end of the 1960s brought the Paris revolution of the young, and the Church was still grappling with the implications of its engagement with the world after Vatican II. Read more >> |
Nepal: difficult decisions, resettlement or the possibility of repatriation In comparison to many other refugee camps I have visited, there is a surprising lack of international presence in the Bhutanese camps. Camp administration is carried out by Camp Management Committees composed of the refugees themselves, with half of the positions occupied by women. Refugees carry out such functions as food distribution and provide the teaching staff for JRS schools, receiving only a small "incentive" payment as return for dedicated volunteer service. Read more >> |

Hoping to reverse that trend, the university spent $115,000 in budget year 2007-08 on international recruitment, including sending staffers to recruiting fairs around the world. That investment has paid off, said Scott King, UI assistant dean of international programs.
Articles tagged with "in the news"
Corey Creekmur sometimes opens his comics class with a text that might seem odd even to comics aficionados: Nancy newspaper strips.
"Early Peanuts and Nancy strips seem so simple," he says. "But read carefully, they are more subtle than they look—they demonstrate how comics work."
Creekmur, associate professor of English, and other UI scholars like Ana Merino and Rachel Williams are introducing students and colleagues alike to the study of comics. Together they're charting comics' storytelling language, political and cultural rhetoric, and creative potential—and they have joined forces to put the University on the comics studies map. (Learn more about the comics symposium)
A group of teachers from India are in Iowa City getting an education of their own.
The group of about 20 toured schools in the Iowa City district and attended lectures at the University of Iowa. The visit is an opportunity to showcase the University to people in another country.
Indian officials hope to pick up on things the United States education system does well, and implement those ideas into their curriculum.
WorldCanvass will kick off the 2011-12 season with a program featuring "Comics, Creativity and Culture" from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 23, in the Senate Chamber of the Old Capitol Museum.
The monthly television and radio series from University of Iowa International Programs will continue each month with its tradition of lively discussion of culture, history, literature, language, politics and art, all surrounding an international theme. WorldCanvass takes place from 5 to 7 p.m. one Friday a month in the Senate Chamber of the Old Capitol Museum. All programs are free and open to the public.
University of Iowa departments are teaming up to improve job opportunities for international students.
And with a record number of international students at the university this fall, students said they're happy to have more options.
"There has been a really nice transition in this last year," said Scott King, the director of the International Student & Scholar Services. "Services for international students aren't all in this office."
University of Iowa student Gewiria Fadl entered a Best Buy store in Massachusetts one day in 2002 wearing a traditional Muslim headdress.
"Make sure she doesn't have a bomb in there," an employee manning the doorway said when the alarm at the entrance sounded.
Muslims across the country have experienced more incidents similar to Fadl's since the four planes piloted by terrorists crashed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a Pennsylvania field 10 years ago.
"When I think of all the memories from that day, tears actually come to my eyes—the emotions of that day and the days afterward are hard to forget. So many experiences in a short time. I think about how we were worried in Norfolk, where I was working at the time at Old Dominion University, that we would be attacked after the Pentagon, as the Norfolk area is the largest area of military bases on the East Coast. I remember frantically looking for the business card of a former student who had just visited me and was working for an international accounting firm in NYC, as his employer was just the type of employer in the World Trade Center, but, thankfully, he wasn't located there.
Freshman enrollment at the University of Iowa is "right on target" this fall, school officials said Wednesday upon the release of fall census counts for students. This year's freshman class remained steady with last year's record-setting enrollment among first-year students.
This fall, UI welcomed 4,565 first-time freshmen, eight more than last year, when the number of new freshmen increased by nearly 500 students from the year before.
A group of nearly 20 school administrators from India are visiting Iowa City through Sept. 14 for a leadership summit about U.S. education systems, particularly that of the University of Iowa and the Iowa City Community School District.
For them, it's an opportunity to learn instead of teach.
"They have questions about everything from, 'How do you feed that many students in the school system?' to 'How do you implement technology in a meaningful way?'" said Liz Hollingworth, summit co-convener with UI geography professor Rangaswamy Rajagopal and a professor in the UI College of Education's Educational Policy and Leadership Program. "(We hope they learn) how to cultivate students who are creative and have a deep understanding of the applications of math and science."
Four Fulbright Language Teaching Assistants (FLTAs) have arrived at the University of Iowa where they will spend the next year teaching Turkish, Portuguese, Hindi and Arabic. This year's FLTAs are Zuhal Kasmer from Turkey, Clarissa Silva from Brazil, Sami Khan from India, and Othman Al Harrasi from Oman.
The teaching assistants will serve as cultural ambassadors for their home countries through presentations, classroom visits and other community events. They will also take two courses per semester as non-degree students during their year at the UI.
See a video from KWWL or read an article from the Iowa City Press-Citizen featuring this visit.

A year and seven months after Haiti was devastated by a 7.0 magnitude earthquake, public awareness of the poverty-stricken country has shrunk.
Dr. Paul Farmer, a cofounder of the humanitarian organization Partners in Health and a Harvard professor, is working to change that.

Sitting at her Mayflower kitchen table, adorned with a Hawkeye-symbol tablecloth, Yoon Kyung Lee, laughs while chatting with new friend, Effy Lee.
Both South Korean, the 20-year-olds instantly shared a bond as newly arriving international students for the fall semester.
"It's not my first time coming to the U.S.," Yoon Lee said, who at age 15 was a foreign-exchange student in Texas, "so adjusting here isn't a big deal for me. The time difference is worse."
Fred Smith from the University of Iowa has lived in India for 16 years. He has seen 'all kinds of corruption' and is now doing all he can to end the social stigma
Prof Frederick Smith from the University of Iowa joined the dharna in Mysore. The professor, who specializes in Sanskrit studies, sat in a corner and joined agitators in reciting bhajans. "There is corruption in other parts of the world too. But the way people are protesting in India is something unique," he said. He's associated with the Vivekananda Institute for Leadership Development (V-LEAD), a unit of Swami Vivekananda Youth Movement founded by R Balasubramaniam and currently visiting India with students from the US.

Product Details
Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images?
This is the story of Armaggedon; the conflict between anti-Christ (anti-Aslan) and the great masses of inhabitants of lost Narnia deceived by him and doomed for eternity versus the ultimate salvation of the few true followers of Aslan to eternal life in His Country, the True Narnia. The allegory to Scriptural truth is remarkable as illustrated by this most insightful, genius mind of modern-day Christian apologists.
The high point of the story occurs after the destruction of the old world and the lost souls who rejected Aslan, who are dispatched allegorically in Revelations 20, "lake of fire" fashion. The heroes of the story, including all the key players from the earlier Chronicles, are seen trying out their new "resurrection" bodies exploring the most beautiful place ever imagined, thrilled to have Aslan with them. They find after a while that the beautiful country is actually Narnia, the REAL Narnia. Though the Narnia they knew and loved was perceived most wonderful, it was a mere shadow of the perfect New Narnia, the one that would last forever, always with Him present and providing all the light in the never-ending Day.
For believers in Christ, Lewis has projected a clear picture mortal minds can comprehend of how it might be on that Day. It is shown through a children's story because that is how we must come to Him; like a child. "You must become just like a child to enter the Kingdom of God".
Read more ›Unlike the other Narnia books, "Battle" begins not in the real world with the children who have been at the core of the series, but in Narnia itself. There, an ape called Shift and a donkey named Puzzle find a lion skin which washed down a waterfall. Seeing an opportunity to makes others do what he wants, Shift forces Puzzle to wear the lion skin and pretend he is Aslan. The ape's deception is central to both the conflict that drives the story and the questions of faith and belief that act as this book's moral center.
That conflict and the events which follow lend the story a tension not found in the previous six books, largely because the ape's deceptions just feels *wrong* in every way. The populace of Narnia believes the false Aslan is the real thing, even when he begins to sell them into slavery. Narnia's last king, King Tirian, tries to convince the Narnians that this Aslan is not real, but most are either too scared to not believe or are losing their faith in Aslan altogether. Enter Eustace in his third Narnia appearance and Jill in her second.
The tale moves along at a good pace, driven sometimes by action and other times by a pressing need to know what will happen next. After six Narnia book, the effect of Narnians turning away from Aslan is compelling. What little hope there is for the Good Guys falters again and again, which only adds to the steadily growing tension of the book's first two-thirds.
Read more ›The final book starts as an ape, Swift, and his rather faitful but blockheaded donkey, Puzzle, find a lion. Read more

If strip mine valley fills are illegal under state water quality rules, then the rules should be changed, a leading coal industry lobbyist said Wednesday.
Ben Greene, president of the West Virginia Mining and Reclamation Association, spoke out Wednesday during a meeting on a policy that spells out how to implement a key state water pollution rule.
The rule, called the anti-degradation policy, prohibits activities which degrade streams to the point that various uses - such as fishing, drinking or swimming - are eliminated.
The federal Clean Water Act requires states to have such a policy, and a plan to implement it. West Virginia passed the policy, based on the requirements of federal law, in 1995. The state is also behind schedule in writing a plan to implement the policy.
Members of the state Environmental Quality Board held a meeting in Charleston Wednesday to approve a draft implementation plan to release for public comment.
The policy spells out how Division of Environmental Protection permit writers and other regulators should consider the protection of stream uses, and the prevention of water quality degradation, when they issue new or reissue old pollution permits.
Before approving the draft plan, board members exempted all non-point polluters - those that don't discharge directly from pipes into streams - from the plan.
Under the action, loggers, poultry growers and other farmers would be have to take no action beyond current voluntary best management practices.
Board members also rejected proposals from chemical and other lobbyists that the implementation plan be delayed for at least another year.
Greene complained that board members didn't look into complaints from federal regulators that strip mine valley fills violate the state's anti-degradation policy.
"Does any fill in the state of West Virginia violate the current anti-degradation policy?" Greene asked. "If we're headed down that road, the thing needs to be changed within the policy."
Valley fills are huge piles of strip mine waste dumped in streams and hollows. They are made up of mountains that are sheared off to reach valuable low-sulfur coal reserves underneath.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has objected to at least five strip mine permits in the last three years because agency officials said the associated valley fills violated the anti-degradation policy.

Very Moisturizing
1 person found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer2157957 From Canada on Jul 21, 2011
Purchased at iHerb
Good for lips, hands, elbows, or anywhere else you need some moisture. It has a mild, but sweet taste that is very appealing. The mixture is a little firm but once it warms up it applies easily. The large size means it lasts for months.

not the best scent
Posted by Reviewer1336522 From Canada on Jul 12, 2012
Purchased at iHerb
this line of lip balm is by far the best thing I have tried in my life. Goes on smooth and changes the texture of your lips. However, I found the scent of this very overwhelming. It eventually wears off or I simply get used to it, but I have to admit i'm looking forward to finishing this so I can go back to the pomegranate one which is pleasant without being overwhelming.

Moistures well
Posted by 4866911267371830866 on Jan 15, 2014
Purchased at iHerb
This large stick moistures lips well and I really like the smell pistachio-coconut. At the begining of use, the stick is very hard and dry but after some days it becomes soft. Ce baume à lèvres sent très bon la pistache et la noix de coco, donc c'est un plaisir à appliquer. Le stick est un peu large pour les lèvres mais il hydrate bien. Lors des premières utilisations, le bâton est dur et sec mais il devient plus souple à mesure d'applications.
