DULUTH, Ga. (BP) -- Wesley Thompson would probably contend he's devoted to ministry. A student at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, he's pursuing a degree in church ministries, with an emphasis on students and families, to improve his ability at presenting the Gospel.
Wesley Thompson also might say he is devoted to being a better educator.
A teacher at a small private school about 20 minutes from Southern's campus in Louisville, Ky., Thompson looks forward to returning to his native Tift County and entering the classroom full-time and improving his ability at presenting the Gospel.
Neither calling is exclusive from the other, even if they did become apparent at different times, says the 23-year-old Thompson, who calls Mount Zion Baptist in the community of Chula his home church.
"My desire to be a teacher came first," Thompson says. "I love school and helping young people and teaching allows me to do that on a daily basis.
"My passion and calling in life is to mentor and assist students -- especially middle school and high school age."
Although Tift County High School boasted a graduating class of approximately 500 in 2008, the year Thompson graduated, the surrounding area is typical of south Georgia and made up mostly of smaller communities.
Such rural settings are often typical for bivocational ministry, but that picture is expanding, says Ray Gilder of the Bivocational Small Church Leadership Network, formerly the Southern Baptist Bivocational Ministers Association.
Bivocation nation
In all likelihood, the Southern Baptist Convention is already predominately bivocational, though hard data can be difficult to find.
"Getting the exact figure is difficult, because many churches fill out their annual profile each year but fail to check the box 'bivocational' when they are," Gilder says.
Gilder was a full-time pastor before becoming the Tennessee Baptist Convention's Bivocational/Small Church specialist nearly 20 years ago. At his insistence, he has served various churches since that time in a bivocational role.
According to 2011 statistics found at the organization's website, http://www.bivosmallchurch.net/, half of Southern Baptist churches had fewer than 50 in Sunday School. That points to at least half of SBC churches having bivocational pastors, Gilder says.
Now factor in the push for new churches. Some initial funding may help a pastor focus fully on his ministry responsibilities, but many of those financial commitments are for only a time.
All told, it means that being an effective minister in the future may require mastery of a craft that isn't taught in seminary. Gaining credibility comes through knowing your business, inside and out, alongside your theology. And for a growing number of people, answering a call to ministry may refer to time around the water cooler with guys who have no interaction with church.
Finding what matches
Standing on the other side from Thompson with a life's worth of perspective in bivocational ministry is Georgia Baptist pastor Paul Reviere.
Don't make the mistake of referring to Reviere as "part-time." He will quickly correct that description and note that considering hours worked, there's very little difference between full-time and bivocational ministry. Reviere should know. He's been the pastor at Tabor Baptist Church in Tignall for 38 years.
After graduating from Georgia Southern University in 1973, Reviere moved back to his hometown of Lincolnton. He had already answered a call to serve as pastor, but a part-time salary wasn't going to provide for himself and his wife, so he became a paraprofessional in the Lincoln County School System.
He enjoyed the work, and went back to school and earned a teaching degree. The result was a 37-year career teaching third grade at Lincoln Elementary School.
In 2010, budget cuts led to a staff position being eliminated. It so happened that the most recently-hired teacher who was about to lose her position had once been a pupil of Reviere's.
Rather than see his former student lose her job, he retired.
Through the years Reviere has preached many times at other churches for revivals. He's also turned down numerous opportunities to be considered for full-time positions.
"My philosophy is I don't need to be 'full-time,'" he says. "My calling is to supply my own needs as far as making a living is concerned so I can minister in a church where they otherwise can't support a minister.
"Of course, there are circumstances that require a full-time minister. It's just not me."
Last July, LifeWay Christian Resources president Thom Rainer took an informal poll on Twitter as to how many hours a week full-time pastors work. Responses indicated that 87 percent of full-time pastors work 40-59 hours weekly. A more scientific poll Rainer cited by LifeWay Research in 2008 among full- and part-time ministers stated that 49 percent of pastors work that same amount of hours.
Most would agree that part-time ministers work more -- or at least are expected to work more -- than their salaries would indicate. People in smaller congregations can occasionally grow envious of the bigger church with more resources and a full-time minister. Those expectations to attract more people end up at the pastor's desk, even if that desk is in a spare room at his house.
As more churches move forward with bivocational positions, ministry responsibilities will fall more on the laity. That's far from being a bad thing, Reviere says. He points to the benefits of faith being a strong part of one's identity in the workplace.
"Being in a full-time pastorate can isolate you from the community," he says. "When your job is part of that community, you get opportunities to support and pray for folks that aren't as likely to come to your church.
"You're already there with them and it becomes a simple matter of building trust. They begin to see you not as just the preacher down at the church but as a colleague."
A growing call
Matthew J. Hall, vice president for academic services at Southern Seminary says, "The guys who come to us with a desire to be bivocational usually grew up in those churches and see the need. They have a clear sense of answering that call.
"I do think there's an upcoming renaissance of men seeking to be bivocational," he says. "Southern Baptists can't afford to forget about those churches."
Kenneth Cloud, director for Bowen Baptist Association in southwest Georgia, says, "About 65 percent of my churches are bivocational."
"It's becoming very difficult to find men who want to serve in them," he says. "Search committees can't fund full-time positions [on their budget]. They think it's like they're backing up by going with a bivocational pastor, but I tell them to not think of it that way. It's regrouping.
"Our Baptist colleges need to have an emphasis on the platform of intentionally being bivocational," Cloud says. For the record, degrees in business, nursing, criminal justice and education are among those offered at Brewton-Parker College, Shorter University, and Truett-McConnell University alongside studies such as world missions, Christian studies, and religion and philosophy.
"It's a different calling," Cloud says. "I believe God has called people to serve these smaller areas, but they're not answering the call. Who will go?"
Thompson had teachers and ministers who inspired him to pursue his calling. After high school he attended Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College in Tifton to earn his associate's degree in education. He would go on to attain his bachelor's degree in that field through the University of Georgia.
"During my undergrad years at our campus BCM [Baptist Campus Ministry] I met a guy who was a youth pastor at a church who became a great friend of mine as well as mentor to me," Thompson says. "For a while I felt I would be doing God a disservice if I was not strictly doing 'church-ministry' 100 percent of the time. He was able to help me better sense my calling and understand it was OK to desire to be a bivocational pastor."
For the past four summers Thompson has worked with LifeWay Centrifuge camps. The experiences, particularly pointed questions about theology from students, convinced him of the need for theological education. In 2012 he worked as a youth leader alongside a bivocational pastor at "a small country church." That pastor also helped influence Thompson's decision to pursue bivocational ministry.
"In this guy I could see his heart for his congregation as well as his heart for the people that he worked with outside the church. It confirmed my desire to work with students in a church setting as well as in a real world environment such as a school classroom."
What Thompson remembers about his own teachers that inspired him could serve as a ministry statement of his own.
"These individuals knew how to help students in all aspects of life."

I hope David McCullough is right. The Pulitzer Prize-winning historian, interviewed on "60 Minutes," said he was disappointed in the campaigns of both President Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney, but declared unshakeable confidence that the nation is much bigger and stronger than any president.
His view is that the U.S. will not only survive, it will prosper and remain the beacon to the world that it has been for more than two centuries.
I hope so. But I'm not nearly as confident as he is.
People said this election was a tipping point. I agree. And things are tipping in the wrong direction, perhaps irrevocably. Herewith a few sobering takeaways:
- The transformation of America: Obama's first term is littered with broken promises - unemployment below 5 percent, cutting the deficit in half, closing Guantanamo, repealing the Patriot Act - but he appears to have kept one: the "fundamental transformation" of America.
This is not so much about "makers and takers" as it is about freedom. Freedom comes with great rewards, but also risks. The president's message throughout his term and the campaign is that freedom is not worth the risks, because somebody might end up with more than somebody else.
The message is not that government should provide subsistence support for needy people as a necessary thing, but that dependence on government is a goal to be desired.
Why else would millions more on food stamps be something to celebrate? Why brag about "expanding the safety net" when we should be asking why it needs to be expanded? Why else would he say, "government is the one thing we all belong to," when our founding documents say the opposite - government belongs to the people?
Vice President Joe Biden, in his debate with Republican candidate Paul Ryan, talked at the end about how people "just want to know that it's going to be OK," and that the way they would know it will be OK is that government will be there to take care of them.

Teachers and pupils from a St Albans school are celebrating a "good" Ofsted report following the appointment of a new head teacher.
Windermere Primary School in Windermere Avenue, has maintained its good rating after inspectors found that pupils make "good progress and achieve well" following its inspection last month.
Davina Raftery, who was appointed as the head teacher in September last year soon after the last inspection, lauded the efforts of her teachers and pupils.
She said: "I am really pleased because this is a whole school achievement. It is because of the effort of the children, the support of their parents and the hard work of our teachers that we have done well.
"I came in with ideas to move the school forward. I have recognised that demands have increased from the Government to provide an outstanding education and we have done a lot of work to make this a great environment for our children."
The inspection judgement said the achievement of pupils, quality of teaching, behaviour and safety of pupils, and leadership and management at the school were all rated "good".
The report said that the school was not yet "outstanding" because "pupils do not make enough progress in their phonics skills" and "most able pupils do not always do as well as they could, because teachers do not always explain clearly enough what pupils of different abilities should be able to do by the end of the lesson."
Since Mrs Raftery's appointment the school, which teaches 185 four to 11-year-olds, have opened a new outdoor theatre, as well as upgrading its IT provisions, an outdoor playground and new play equipment.
Inspectors, who visited the school on January 15 and 16, praised Mrs Raftery for "rigorous systems" to improve the quality of education and raise standards. They said that this vision was shared by staff "who do everything they can to ensure that Windermere is a successful school that makes the most of its pupils' strengths."
Pupils were described as "polite and courteous", who have "impeccable behaviour".
Mrs Raftery said: "Although some of our children don't necessarily come in at national expectations, by the end of their time at the school they have made good progress to go on to secondary school. Our children achieve very well and progress better than the national average.
"We are really pleased that the children's behaviour was described as impeccable because if parents are looking for a school they will see this and see that the children enjoy their time here."
The report also showed evidence that parents had praised the school's care systems strongly, and several took the trouble to write to inspectors, detailing the support given to their children when difficulties arose.
Mrs Raftery added: "We are now working towards outstanding. This is our aim and for our children that is what they need."

If you're new to trying to get pregnant, or you're just trying to understand the female reproductive system, you may have questions on the very basics. Questions like... What is ovulating? What does ovulating have to do with getting pregnant? When will I be ovulating? How will I know if I am ovulating?
Maybe you feel embarrassed to ask your doctor or a friend because you feel like everyone knows this - admitting you don't may feel like failing health class all over again.
Fear no more!
Not only will your questions get answered below, you'll also know more than most do about ovulating, and even more importantly, you'll have the information you need about ovulating to get pregnant.
What Is Ovulating?
Ovulating is what happens when an egg, or ovum, is released from the ovaries. Usually, when a person says they are ovulating, they mean to say they are in the especially fertile period of two to three days that precede ovulation.
When a woman begins puberty, the ovaries house approximately 300,000 eggs. Despite this apparent storehouse of eggs, a woman only ovulates around 300 ova over her lifetime.
During each menstrual cycle, reproductive hormones work together to stimulate the ovaries. A few immature eggs, also known as oocytes, begin to grow and respond to those hormones.
While you might think that the oocytes develop, grow, and ovulate all in one month's time, this is actually untrue. Oocytes develop over several months, until they are either ready to ovulate or stop growing and remain dormant. (Read a more detailed explanation of the female reproductive cycle.)
There is also a misconception that each ovary takes a turn ovulating every other month. For example, one month the right ovary ovulates and then the next month, the left ovary ovulates. In fact, ovulating occurs on whichever side has the winning, most mature ova or ovum of the month. In some women, one ovary may ovulate significantly more often than the other.
What Does Ovulating Have to Do With Getting Pregnant?
Theoretically, conception requires at least one ovum and one sperm. (Technically, unless conception is occurring in a lab, a man must ejaculate millions of sperm to have a good chance at fertilizing just one egg. But that's another story.)
Semen can live three to five days in the female reproductive tract. In other words, if you had sex on Monday, there will still be live, viable semen hanging out in the woman's fallopian tubes on Thursday.
The human ovum, however, lives just 24 hours, and typically, it must be fertilized within the first 12 hours of ovulation.
Some people mistakenly think that sex for conception must occur after ovulating. They assume that until an egg is present, you can't get pregnant. This is not correct. If you want to get pregnant, sex should ideally occur before ovulating, so there are sperm cells waiting to greet the ovulated egg. Conception is also possible if you have sex the day after ovulating, but the odds are lower.
When people say, "I am ovulating, so I need to have sex tonight!" what they really mean is they will soon be ovulating (not that they are ovulating that very second!) There's no need to have sex at the very moment of ovulation.
When Will I Be Ovulating?
Each woman ovulates on their own schedule. There's a misconception (pun intended, ha ha) that ovulating always occurs on day 14 of the menstrual cycle (with day 1 being the day you get your period.)
This is untrue. In fact, even women with 28-day menstrual cycles don't always ovulate on day 14. One study found that less than 10% of women with 28-day cycles were ovulating on day 14.
It's also assumed that most women ovulate 14 days before the first day of their next period. For example, if you have 32-day cycles, that would mean ovulating on day 19. This is also not always the case.
So how do you know when you will be ovulating?
How Will I Know if I Am Ovulating?
Most women experience signs and symptoms before ovulating. Some symptoms may appear several days before ovulation, while others won't happen until the day before or day of ovulation.
Signs and symptoms that occur before ovulating include:
- Increase in sexual desire
- Increase in cervical mucus (You may notice more discharge on your underwear, which resembles raw egg whites.)
- Softening and opening of the cervix
- Ovulation pain (Ovulating is not usually painful, but some women feel a cramp or sharp pain in their side.)
Signs and symptoms of ovulating that occur on the day or days after include:
- Decrease in sexual desire levels
- Decrease in cervical mucus, changing from wet and abundant to dry and sticky
- A rise in body basal temperature
- Breast tenderness (usually several days after ovulation, sometimes mistaken as an early pregnancy sign)
Wondering if you're having ovulation symptoms now? Take a Quiz: Am I Ovulating?
While knowing when you are ovulating can help you time sex for your most fertile days, it's not really required. If you have sex three to four times a week, you're bound to have sex around your ovulation period.
If you don't experience any ovulating symptoms at any time during your cycle, or if you have irregular periods, you may not be ovulating every month.
Anovulation, a common cause of infertility, is when a woman does not ovulate. Other possible symptoms of anovulation are extremely short or long periods or a complete absence of menstruation.
Wondering if your periods are normal? Take a Quiz: Are My Periods Normal?

Personal crimes, including assaults, sexual assaults, and hate crimes, are a very serious concern of the Miami University Police. Such offenses can be emotionally devastating to a victim, and they destroy the fabric of our community. We strongly encourage all victims of crime to file a police report, and we make the following guarantees to anyone who does:
We are committed to making our community safer for everyone. Call us. We're your police.
Victims of crime often have many questions . . . and getting them answered by the police is an intimidating prospect. Below are some frequently asked questions and answers; we hope they will help to alleviate some of the fear a victim may have of calling the police.
Go to a place that is safe and seek medical treatment. If a sexual assault occurs, safety and medical assistance are the first priorities. On campus and in the local area, 24-hour assistance is available. Call the police or go directly to the hospital (who will call the police for you). Whether or not you decide to report the incident, seek medical treatment immediately and get counseling as soon as possible. For the purpose of preserving evidence, do not douche, bathe, shower, or change clothes before seeking medical attention because valuable evidence may be lost. Preserving evidence is important in later pursuing a criminal or other judicial case. Do not wash sheets or other bed coverings where critical DNA evidence can be found. Evidence collection must take place as soon as possible after the incident occurs to preserve it correctly for prosecution.
If you need medical transportation to the hospital, call the Miami University Police Department at 513-529-2222 or the Dean of Students at 513-529-1877. Calling for transport will not result in a criminal investigation unless the survivor wants to pursue one. Visits to the hospital for medical treatment and counseling are confidential. A qualified sexual assault counselor will meet with you and provide emotional support and advice on disciplinary and legal options.
Conversations with S.A.N.E. nurses and counselors are not disclosed to anyone (unless there is a threat of physical harm to that individual or others) without the expressed permission of the person seeking assistance.)
Seek counseling. Even if you don't report the sexual assault or press charges, you should seek emotional support. Counseling is available 24 hours a day by calling the independent Women Helping Women at 513-381-5610 or 1-877-889-5610. This program provides victim advocates who can meet survivors at the hospital, help them work through feelings, discuss options, and offer assistance with referrals and follow-up. Students may also seek assistance from the University Oxford Student Counseling Service at 513-529-4634 during normal business hours. On-call counselors can be reached at any time through the university police dispatcher at 513-529-2222.
Report the sexual assault to the authorities. The more often sexual assaults are reported, the easier it may be to prevent them. Reporting an assault to the University Police or other law enforcement or campus security authorities does not require filing criminal charges, but it does allow support systems to be put in place for the survivor. Reporting is best done as soon as possible after the assault, but it may be done at any time. Students can make their report to any campus security authority, including, but not limited to, University Police (513-529-2222), Oxford Police (513-524-5240), Office of Ethics and Student Conflict Resolution (513-529-1417), the Dean of Students (513-529-1877), Resident Advisors, advisors to recognized student organizations and athletic coaches. The University will assist students who report sexual assault in obtaining medical support and information regarding available legal and judicial resources as well as counseling and support services.
Students who choose to notify police should be aware of the importance of the immediacy of reporting the incident and the importance of preserving physical evidence at the assault scene as well as on the person assaulted. The gathering of physical evidence can provide important evidence and support criminal charges leading to a successful prosecution.
Students who are reporting an immediate assault should be accompanied to a health care facility of their choice to allow for collection of evidence and treatment. If a sexual assault victim chooses to report the incident days, weeks, or even months after the assault, important support systems are still available and can be arranged; however, criminal investigations are much more difficult.
Sexual assaults, for which individuals seek medical treatment, must be reported to the appropriate police unit by health care officials. However, as noted above, students are not required to criminally prosecute the case or file a police report, unless the sexual assault survivor is a minor.
Reporting an assault to the police ensures that the incident will be included in the University's annual crime statistics report. It does not commit you to pursuing the charge but does allow you to keep your options open.
You will not be billed for services. Survivors of sexual assault at Miami also are strongly encouraged to report it to police. But even if you don't know whether you want to prosecute, reporting will ensure the collection of evidence and the documentation of facts while they are still fresh in your mind.
If you are 18 or older your parents will not be notified unless a life threatening circumstance requires it.
No. Miami provides immunity for sexually assaulted students. While the University does not condone underage drinking or violation of other University policies, it considers reporting sexual misconduct including sexual misconduct/assaults to be of paramount importance, and Miami University will therefore extend limited immunity to students who have been the victim of sexual misconduct/ assault to encourage reporting and adjudication of sexual misconduct, including sexual misconduct/assaults on or off campus. This policy solely applies to instances of sexual misconduct/assault.
Depending on where the crime occurred, either the Miami University Police or the Oxford Police will take the report and be responsible for the criminal investigation. Regardless of who takes the initial report, however, both police departments may cooperate during the investigation.
It is the policy of the Miami University Police Department that victims make personal decisions for themselves during an investigation. Victims work directly with an investigator, who will answer questions and provide information to help them make informed decisions. Although the progress of the investigation depends almost entirely on the victim, the police will only make decisions for victims who are unable to make them for themselves (such as a victim suffering from serious injuries).
Names and other identifiers of victims are not given to the media, published in crime alerts, or listed on the front page of initial police reports (which are public record). General details, with no specifics, are sometimes given to the media because they help to generate investigative leads.
In the event that a crime occurs, on campus or on the public property surrounding campus, that, in the judgment of the Miami University Police constitutes an on-going serious or continuing threat to the campus community, a Crime Alert will be issued. The purpose of a Campus Crime Alert is to enable persons to protect themselves, and to heighten safety awareness as well as to seek information that will lead to an arrest and conviction of the perpetrator when violent crimes against persons or major crimes against property have occurred. Every attempt will be made to distribute a Crime Alert soon after the incident is reported; however, the release of the Crime Alert is subject to the availability of facts concerning the incident.
Crime Alerts are usually distributed for the following Uniformed Crime Reporting Program (UCR)/National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) classifications: arson, criminal homicide, and robbery. Cases of aggravated assault and sex offenses are considered on a case-by-case basis, depending on the facts of the case and the information known by MUPD. For example, if an assault occurs between two students who have a disagreement, there may be no on-going threat to other Miami community members and a Crime Alert would not be distributed. In cases involving sexual assault, they are often reported long after the incident occurred, thus there is no ability to distribute a "timely" warning notice to the community. Sex offenses will be considered on a case by case basis depending on when and where the incident occurred, when it was reported, and the amount information known by the Miami University Police Department. The Miami University Police Chief or designee reviews all reports to determine if there is an on-going threat to the community and if the distribution of a Crime Alert is warranted. Crime Alerts may also be posted for other crime classifications, as deemed necessary.
On the Oxford campus, the Chief of Police or a designee is responsible for preparing and distributing the Crime Alert via blast email. Crime Alerts are posted on the Miami University Police website at http://miamioh.edu/police/crime-alerts and are distributed to students, faculty, and staff via an email blast.
The offices of Business Services on the Hamilton and Middletown campuses and the Director's office on the Voice of America Learning Center are responsible for preparing and distributing the Crime Alerts for their respective campuses via email blast to their faculty, staff and students. The Dean of the Luxembourg campus or a designee is responsible for preparing and distributing the Crime Alert via email blast to its faculty, staff and students on that campus.

If you know someone who has been sexually assaulted you can be of help. In the aftermath of a sexual assault the victim may be experiencing fear, insecurity, frustration, and need care and support from others. You, as a friend (or spouse/partner or family member), can play an important role by providing reassurance and support.
Allow your friend to reflect upon what has happened and the feelings experienced, but do not press for details. Let her/him set the pace. Listening is one of the best things you can do at this time. In short, be a trusted friend.
If your friend has not received medical attention, encourage her/him to do so. For additional help and support, call the Coordinator of Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program or the Dean of Students at 513-529-1877, the Miami University Police Department at 513-529-2222 or call the Women Helping Women at 513-381-5610 or 1-877-889-5610. Students may also seek assistance from Miami's Student Counseling Service by calling 513-529-4634. An advocate can accompany you and your friend to the hospital and expedite medical attention.
You can be a valuable resource to your friend by seeking out and providing information that will assist in understanding available options. For example, you can let your friend know that reporting the rape and collecting evidence does not automatically lock her/him into pursuing prosecution of the offender. What it does do is assist the police in identifying the method and possible identity of the assailant.
Making the decision to report a sexual assault to the police and to undergo the subsequent processes of evidence collection and possible judicial proceedings will be very difficult for your friend. Although it is only natural that you will want to give advice, you must avoid trying to control the situation. A victim of sexual assault needs to regain control and must be allowed to make her/his own decisions.
Whatever decisions are made by your friend needs to know that she/he will not be judged, disapproved of, or rejected by you. The victim of sexual assault can suffer a significant degree of physical and emotional trauma both during and immediately following the rape that may remain for a long time. Being patient, supportive, and non-judgmental you can provide a safe accepting climate into which your friend can release painful feelings
File a Complaint with the Office of Ethics and Student Conflict Resolution
If the accused is a Miami student, students are urged to file a complaint of sexual misconduct/ assault with the Office of Ethics and Student Conflict Resolution by calling 513-529-1417. Students need not file a police report to pursue a complaint with the Office of Ethics and Student Conflict Resolution (OESCR).
Both the accuser and the accused are entitled to the same opportunity for access to information that will be used at the hearing, to present relevant witnesses and other evidence and to have others present during the hearing. Confidential medical/counseling records and information regarding the victim's sexual history will not be provided to the accused and is not admissible at any disciplinary proceeding.
An accused student, may, in accordance with University disciplinary procedures, be summarily suspended pending from campus pending the final outcome of the disciplinary proceedings.
A. Disciplinary Process
The policies, procedures, and sanctions outlined in the Code of Conduct apply to all violations of the Code, and sexual misconduct/assault violations are no exception.
B. Disciplinary Sanctions
Sanctions against a student who has violated the Sexual Misconduct/Assault Protocol will vary depending on the severity of the violation. Sanctions may include expulsion from campus housing, mandated brief intervention, and/or may include suspension, or dismissal from the University.
Both the victim and the accused will be informed in writing of the final outcome of the disciplinary action.
C. Appeal Process
The accused may appeal following the grounds and process identified in the Code of Student Conduct in effect at the time of the complaint.
The accuser also has the right to appeal through the Office of Ethics and Student Conflict Resolution in accordance with the grounds and process identified in the Code of Student Conduct in effect at the time of the complaint.
The Code of Student Conduct can be found in the Student Handbook on the University's website.
File a Report with the Dean of Students Office
If the sexual misconduct/assault report has not been reported to the police or to the Office of Ethics and Student Conflict Resolution, the sexual misconduct /assault may be reported directly to the Office of the Dean of Students. The Dean of Students' phone number is 529-1877 and the Office is located in Warfield Hall.
The Dean of Students' Office will generally first suggest that the student attend to any medical needs immediately. The student will receive information on medical and psychological resources available. The Dean of Students' Office can arrange for a professional staff member to accompany the student to the hospital if requested by the student. The student will also be assisted in contacting a support person such as a friend or the Coordinator of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program if desired.
The victim will be informed of his or her right to file a police report and/or file a disciplinary complaint against the accused and will be given a copy of this Sexual Misconduct/Assault Protocol. The victim has the right to determine whether charges will be filed either on-campus or with the police. However even if the victim elects not to file charges, the Dean of Students may initiate an investigation to determine if the situation indicates that the student or others may be at risk and whether action may be taken against the respondent by the University in the absence of charges filed by the student.
Students who have been sexually assaulted have access to support services such as changing academic and living situations after an alleged incident, if so requested and if such changes are reasonably available (no police report, disciplinary charge or investigation need occur before this option is available). Support includes:
- Providing the victim with a temporary safe space within the University residence halls.
- Moving the victim or alleged perpetrator so the victim and alleged perpetrator do not share the same residence or dining hall.
- Changing class assignments so that the victim and alleged perpetrator do not share the same classes.
- Providing academic support including tutoring.
In addition to the information above, the following on line services are also available to victims of crime:

Hi all , I have one Item on CodeConyone with the price of 3$ for (Regular Licence) and 15$ for (Extended Licence) and my rate is 50% , I made some normal sales where I earned 1.5$ for each but there is one sale (with the price of 5$ ) where I earned 2.5$ , so I don't undersand why the price of that sale is 5$
I think it should be either 3$ or 15$ ,so is this an error or what ?

It's not an error, it's when they pay with buy now and not with prepaid credit. That is $2 more expensive. Just be happy about it when somebody buys like this. (About 30-40% of the time, maybe?)

Demonstrating the utility of adaptive optics scanning light ophthalmoscopy (AOSLO) to assess outer retinal structure in Best vitelliform macular dystrophy (BVMD).
To characterize outer retinal structure in BVMD using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and AOSLO.
Design, Setting, and Participants
Prospective, observational case series. Four symptomatic members of a family with BVMD with known BEST1 mutation were recruited at the Advanced Ocular Imaging Program research lab at the Medical College of Wisconsin Eye Institute, Milwaukee.
Thickness of 2 outer retinal layers corresponding to photoreceptor inner and outer segments was measured using SD-OCT. Photoreceptor mosaic AOSLO images within and around visible lesions were obtained, and cone density was assessed in 2 subjects.
Main Outcome and Measure
Photoreceptor structure.
Each subject was at a different stage of BVMD, with photoreceptor disruption evident by AOSLO at all stages. When comparing SD-OCT and AOSLO images from the same location, AOSLO images allowed for direct assessment of photoreceptor structure. A variable degree of retained photoreceptors was seen within all lesions. The photoreceptor mosaic immediately adjacent to visible lesions appeared contiguous and was of normal density. Fine hyperreflective structures were visualized by AOSLO, and their anatomical orientation and size were consistent with Henle fibers.
Conclusions and Relevance
The AOSLO findings indicate that substantial photoreceptor structure persists within active lesions, accounting for good visual acuity in these patients. Despite previous reports of diffuse photoreceptor outer segment abnormalities in BVMD, our data reveal normal photoreceptor structure in areas adjacent to clinical lesions. This study demonstrates the utility of AOSLO for understanding the spectrum of cellular changes that occur in inherited degenerations such as BVMD. Photoreceptors are often significantly affected at various stages of inherited degenerations, and these changes may not be readily apparent with current clinical imaging instrumentation.
A, Horizontal line scan through the fovea of a normal control subject. B, Longitudinal reflectivity profile acquired at the location of the arrow above the spectral-domain optical coherence tomography scan. ELM indicates external limiting membrane; ISe, inner segment ellipsoid; RPE1, outer segment/retinal pigment epithelium interface; and RPE2, retinal pigment epithelium.
Early vitelliform findings. A, Fundus examination reveals a focal area of granularity just temporal to the fovea. B, Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography horizontal and vertical scans show normal retinal lamination but focal increased hyperreflectivity in the area of granularity seen clinically. C, Macular microperimetry shows normal point sensitivities in the central 12° (overlay). D, Adaptive optics imaging of this location (montage registered in part C, area imaged indicated by arrows in part B) shows focal photoreceptor mosaic disruption around the area of hyperreflectivity on optical coherence tomography with the photoreceptor mosaic surrounding this area appearing normal. Scale bar = 100 μm.
Vitelliform lesion with early vitelliruptive changes. A, Fundus examination reveals a single heterogeneous vitelliform lesion centered just temporal to the fovea. B, Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography horizontal and vertical scans show that the vitelliform lesion contains fluid and debris within the subretinal space. There is patchy disruption of the hyperreflective inner segment ellipsoid band over the lesion. C, Macular microperimetry reveals subnormal point sensitivities in areas overlying the vitelliform lesion and immediately surrounding it (overlay). D, Adaptive optics imaging of the vitelliform lesion and area immediately surrounding this (montage registered in part C, area imaged indicated by arrows in part B) reveals disrupted photoreceptor mosaic over the lesion with normal mosaic seen immediately adjacent to the lesion. Scale bar = 100 μm.
Vitelliruptive. A, Fundus examination reveals an ovoid area of hypopigmentation containing several fibrotic nodules. B, Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography horizontal and vertical scans show outer retinal atrophy and several focal deposits of debris in the subretinal space, some separated by trace subretinal fluid. Patchy disruption of the hyperreflective inner segment ellipsoid band is evident in some areas. C, Macular microperimetry reveals subnormal point sensitivities in all areas of the central 6° (overlay). D, Adaptive optics imaging of the central fovea (montage registered in part C, area imaged indicated by arrows in part B) reveals significant photoreceptor mosaic disruption overlying these nodules but relative preservation of the photoreceptor mosaic surrounding these lesions. Scale bar = 100 μm.
Atrophy and fibrosis. A, Fundus examination shows central hypopigmentation with focal pigment mottling and trace epiretinal membrane. B, Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography horizontal and vertical scans show a lamellar hole, trace epiretinal membrane, and loss of the hyperreflective inner segment ellipsoid band. C, Macular microperimetry reveals subnormal point sensitivities in areas central and temporal to the fovea when fibrosis and atrophy are present clinically (overlay). D, Adaptive optics imaging of the central fovea (montage registered in part C, area imaged indicated by arrows in part B) reveals patchy areas of retained photoreceptors between areas of significant photoreceptor loss. Scale bar = 100 μm.
A, Plot of inner segment (IS) length as a function of retinal location along the horizontal meridian. B, Outer segment (OS) length as a function of retinal location along the horizontal meridian. The black line indicates normative data from 93 people, mean (SD) age, 25.7 (8.2) years. The shaded gray area is ±2 SD. Thickness values were not calculated over visible lesion(s).
A, Presence of the vitelliform lesion has altered the angle of the retina structure, allowing for visualization of the Henle fiber layer on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (arrows). B, Adaptive optics scanning light ophthalmoscopy imaging at this same location focused at the level of the inner retina reveals thin hyperreflective structures running perpendicular to nerve fiber bundles, consistent with known anatomy of Henle fibers.

When using experiential marketing campaigns, your intention should be to attract your customer on various levels. The campaign should appeal not only to their auditory or visual senses, but to their logic and all the other senses as well. The purpose is to hone in on the consumer's full reaction rather than on the reaction to the product in isolation.
Traditional marketing strategies aim to sell the features of a product and the benefits that would be derived from it. Experiential strategies aim at involving the consumer at an emotional level. The purpose is also to establish not only brand loyalty, but company loyalty.
It is important that as a marketer you attempt to put yourself in the consumer's position. Try to feel what they feel when they view your campaign. Consider what would be going through their minds and what their initial reaction to the media will be.
The engagement of as many of the consumer's senses whilst using the various media platforms is imperative. You have to provide media that is visually enticing. However, it must also be able to make the consumer start planning what they can do with your product.
The requirement is to capture and retain their attention. The media has to be effective enough to hold that attention long enough for them to start feeling intense emotions. The campaign should be able to invoke this reaction every time the customer views whatever form of advertising media you utilize.
Bear in mind that the purpose of this type of experiential marketing is to encompass the consumer entirely. The emotions that your campaign stirs should make them feel that they will be purchasing a package which will become part of their life. This will ensure that they continue using your product.

if there isn't a topic on this, i think there should be…
it is common knowledge that most people who are brilliant, especially in artistic ways, also suffer from mental or mood disorders of one sort or another, we don't need to turn this into something about robin williams, even though he is an example, but has anyone else put any thought into this? it's often what makes a great performance - like when a musician is completely lost in the song (crazy people just seem to do it really well), but i digress, the original video I wanted to post under this thread is comedy, and you probably know Louis CK, but i think it is evident from this clip that he understands… the first part about kids and phones is alright, but then when he starts talking about feeling alone, etc… anyway, that was a long description of what i'd hope to see in this thread, examples of artistic brilliance in performances, music, comedy, whatever
and as an example of what i'm talking about on the musical side of things (we all know she's crazy):

Movies that scared you as a kid
I don't know if any of you remember the movie "House" from 1986, but it fucked me up.
Roger Cobb is a Vietnam vet. Whose career as a horror novelist has taken a turn for the worse when his son Jimmy mysteriously disappears while visiting his aunt's house. Roger's search for Jimmy destroys his marriage and his writing career. The sudden death of his aunt brings Roger back to the house where his nightmares began. The evil zombies in the house force Roger to endure a harrowing journey into his past.
Also, has anyone seen "I Spit On Your Grave" (1978). I'm going to watch this for the first time today.

pet talk outside of photos; introducing pets
So here's the story:
There were two cats. Docile homebody Maverick, and bouncing off the walls Percy. Maverick was 5/6 years old when six month old Percy was introduced into his house. Maverick was already living with an Australian Shepard for two years. Percy grew up loving both of them.
Maverick just died recently and not until now did we realized just how much Percy relied on him. They had more moments of playing/tussling and just walking past each other like neither existed so when they cleaned each other or slept near each other it made us excited.
For the past two weeks Percy cries/howls when we leave, in the middle of the night, at first sunlight- like he needs us awake to keep him company.
It's very odd having only one cat too, but we were feeling more for Percy being alone and he seemed like he was having more trouble coping.
So my wife shows up with a year old cat (SPCA said a year, he still seems tiny to me like 10/11 months) and the SPCA told her "here's how to introduce them etc." My wife never wants to wait for anything and said "I don't have time to introduce them, let them get used to each other" and just dropped Cecil (the new boy) right in front of Percy.
Claws and fur didn't fly immediately, but it's more than obvious Percy is disturbed by someone in his house.
From the past 18 hours I could list every little hiss that has come out of Percy's mouth and how many times I squirted him with the spray bottle but I just need to know if anyone has just thrown two animals together (just read @plasticarmyman and @smmrbmmr's stories) and what'd you do/what happened.

We had the open seating for our meals and before they sat us they would ask for our room number. When I asked why they did this they said that if they had to get in touch with us in the event of an emergency, they would know where we where. Yeh, right. Then why didn't they check for my room number when I went to the pool or the bar? All this did was delay the seating and frustrate the guests. I've been on other ships and we weren't bothered with this. It's not like someone was trying to sneak into the dining room. I never did get warm or hot eggs in the dining room.
The good things? Great hard working staff, easy check in, good entertainment but only 45 minutes in the theater. The jazz trio was fantastic.
Overall a substandard cruise with a high standard price. Will be moving on to other cruise lines the next time.

The Temecula office of the California Department of Motor Vehicles may experience more patrons this month due to a maintenance closure of a nearby office.
As of 5 p.m. Friday, Jan. 3, the Hemet DMV at 1200 S. State St. was closed and will remain so until 9 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 22 for HVAC equipment replacement, according to a news release.
The Hemet DMV serves an average of 585 customers a day. Its 34 staff members will be temporarily reassigned to nearby locations during the renovation, DMV stated in the Dec. 26, 2013 news release.
Customers who would typically conduct their DMV business in Hemet were advised to visit one of these nearby field offices:
Temecula Field Office at 27851 Diaz Road in Temecula
Banning Field Office: 1034 W Ramsey Street in Banning
Palm Springs Field Office: 950 N Farrell Drive in Palm Springs.
The Hemet office, which opened in 1989, is one of several facilities slated for maintenance, repair or renovation projects this year, according to the DMV.
"DMV typically schedules about a dozen closures each year for varying lengths of time to address infrastructure deficiencies, upgrade mechanical and electrical systems and replace equipment and finishes."
Customers were also reminded to "Save Time, Go Online!" The California DMV website— https://www.dmv.ca.gov/ — allows motorists to conduct transactions including online advance appointments for written and drive tests; vehicle registration and driver license renewals, selection of personalized license plates, changes of address and payment of fees via secure debit transactions.
"Customers can also effect transactions by calling DMV customer service at 800-777–0133."
DMV is a department under the California State Transportation Agency.

Henderson opened with a thigh punch, if you can believe that. He followed it with a head kick that Thomson shrugged off with a smile and a nod.
Thomson quickly earned a hard takedown -- we're talking a straight up slam -- not long after this. He quickly transitioned to Henderson's back, too, and found a body triangle to completely control positioning.
To his credit, "Smooth" is nearly impossible to submit and he proved difficult once again, even standing up and using the fence to look for an opening to get the 160-pound man riding his back off him.
It worked. Actually, his defense of as much was pitch perfect.
This gave way to a battle along the fence as the two pummeled for underhooks until "Bendo" used a trip to take Thomson down. "The Punk" got back up but in the process, Henderson locked in an arm triangle. He dropped down to his back to complete it, but Thomson defended well.
The round came to a close with Thomson earning yet another big takedown, almost dropping Henderson on his head.

City aldermen jeopardized the $50 million City Plaza by delaying decision on agreement for control of the downtown parking lot, developer Frank Arvay said. After storming out of the regular Common Council meeting, Arvay said the city leaders may have killed his plan for huge hotel, apartment and retail complex when they tabled action for one week on a tentative contract.
The scream of high-performance, two-cycle ATV racing engines could be heard throughout Rouses Point, during the debut of the North American Goldmax ATV Ice Racing Championships on Lake Champlain. Ice conditions for the event were described as poor, and Northern Tier Chamber of Commerce officials and race officials were disappointed with the number of racers and spectators who showed up for the event.
Twenty-one fishermen spent nearly three bone-chilling hours adrift on a large ice floe on Lake Champlain. Two helicopters lifted them off in groups of five, depositing them on Begg's Point in Essex.
Striking nurses at Alice Hyde Memorial Hospital resoundingly rejected a "final" offer by the hospital, even though the hospital had met nurses demand for overtime pay when ever they work more than eight hours in a day. The nurses rejected the latest contract offer 48 to 1, which came after two days of negotiations with a federal mediator.
Ayerst Laboratories, which manufactures pharmaceuticals for worldwide distribution, will embark on a $1 million expansion of its Maple Street plant in Rouses Point next spring. Vice president and general manager Franklin R. Forbes said designs are nearly complete for a new laboratory building, modernization of the present plant's quality-control facilities, and improvements to the sterile manufacturing area.
Edward W. Smith, operator of the Howard Johnson's Restaurant on Route 9 north of the city, said he may have another restaurant and motor Lodge under construction this year, closer to the Northway. The site will be near the Adirondack Northway ramp on Route 3.
Plans are in the works now to establish a "corrections college" in the North Country, according to Clinton Prison Warden J. Edwin LaVallee. The concept of a college degree in correction is part of a general trend toward professionalization within the corrections field, LaVallee said.
According to State Police, the triangle area between Plattsburgh, Cadyville and Morrisonville has the highest accident rate in the region. Police aim to crack down on the highway mayhem.
The icy waters of Lake Champlain claimed the lives of father and his two sons, who plunged through treacherously thin ice as they were returning from a Sunday fishing expedition near Westport. A fourth member the party scrambled to safety and summoned aid, which arrived a moment too late to rescue one of the youths, who clung for 25 minutes to the broken ice.
The search for the body of 20-month-old Albert Aubin, son of Mr. and Mrs. Armand Aubin of AuSable Forks, has failed to find any trace of the missing boy. His tiny footprints led to the banks of the AuSable river which flows past the Aubin residence on Forge Street.
The need for a more efficient class of election officers is emphasized in the annual report of the state superintendent of elections for the year 1912. That report sites election officers of Clinton County with having made thousands of errors and omissions in registry and poll books.
Edward E. Grimmel, formerly confined in Dannemora prison, whose skull was operated on there by specialists so that he would reform, was found guilty of burglary and will probably be sent away for life as a habitual criminal. He was in Clinton Prison in March, 1909, when he went to the authorities with a request that his brain be altered so that he would be forever good. He was paroled in 1912, but that same year was caught cracking a safe.
The little village of Chateaugay met with the severe loss at an early hour when the entire Star Excelsior Company was destroyed by fire. The fire burned with great rapidity, and despite the efforts of the firemen. The building was in a short time a mass of flames and beyond all hope of saving.

I recently bought the 7210 - overall a great phone, except for the ringtones. Why are there no simple tones, what ever happened to Ring Ring??
Is there a website that you can download this from? It seems the only tones you cann download are terrible pop songs that I would never have as a ring tone.

Highest Finish in Team History for FGCU at The A-Sun Championship
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Behind three student-athletes finishing in the field's top 20, the FGCU men's cross country team placed fourth in the 10-team field at Atlantic Sun Conference Championships, Saturday morning at Buckingham Park in Buckingham, Fla.
USC Upstate finished first with a score of 49, followed by ETSU (53), Kennesaw St. (85), FGCU (110) and Mercer (126) to round out the top five teams. This was the highest finish for the Eagles in the conference championship.
FGCU was led by junior Chris Rudloff (Ormond Beach, Fla./Mainland) who finished 14th with a time of 25:28.9. Rudloff's time is the second fastest all-time at FGCU behind classmate Argeo Cruz's (Immokalee, Fla./Immokalee HS) time of 25:20.64, which he set at the Greater Louisville Classic this year. Rudloff was named to the Second Team All-Conference for his performance at the Championship. This is the first time a member of the FGCU team has been named to the All-Conference team. The A-Sun Championship marks the first time a runner other than Cruz, finished first for the Eagles this season.

The time by Schilling was the fastest time in program history by a senior in the 8K. Rojas' performance earned him the program's first-ever A-Sun All-Freshman team selection.
Junior Gilbert Chemaoi (Eldoret, Kenya/Kirobon HS/Eastern Kentucky) finished with a time of 26:22.4, good for 32nd place, followed by senior Dillon McGee (Indiatlantic, Fla./Melbourne HS) who finished 41st with a time of 26:45.0.

The Effect of Culture on Usability: Comparing the Perceptions and Performance of Taiwanese and North American MP3 Player Users
Steve Wallace and Hsiao-Cheng Yu
Journal of Usability Studies, Volume 4, Issue 3, May 2009, pp. 136-146
A study of how 23 Taiwanese and North American subjects use a consumer electronic product shows that culture strongly affects the usability of the product. Survey data shows that North American users had much lower levels of user satisfaction and perceptions of effectiveness and efficiency than Taiwanese users. On the other hand, results on performance were unclear, indicating similar levels of effectiveness for both cultural groups and conflicting results on levels of efficiency.
Practitioner's Take Away
Usability practitioners should be aware of the following points:
- Ensure usability testing includes subjects that are culturally representative of users.
- Because culture has such a strong influence on usability, testing subjects from the wrong culture may seriously skew the results of usability testing.
- Include subjective and objective measures of efficiency, effectiveness, and user satisfaction when measuring usability.
- Keep in mind different cultures have differing concepts of usability and value effectiveness, efficiency, and user satisfaction differently.
- Aim to minimize the possibility of user error when designing products for the North American users. In this culture, users' perceptions of usability are strongly influenced by this variable.
- Expect North American and Taiwanese users to be similarly effective when using a product.
- Expect Taiwanese users to perceive the usability of a product at a much higher level than North American users, especially with regard to the effectiveness of a product.

I have a lot of bookmarks (I mean >>>this list<<<), it's my main interface for looking what's new in what forum and go into them. For that I have two questions (or requests):
1) How can I sort the bookmarks?
Sample: As AutoCAD 2013 is now available I bookmarked it ==> ok, it appears in my bookmark-list on the second page as last item. That's not the position where I want to have it, so thinking that all bookmarks are set to the last position I tried to "unbookmark" them and then next I bookmark in the order I want to have them listed.
That does not work, by what reason ever e.g. the forum "AutoCAD Map3D Developer" is always above AutoCAD 2013.
And I dont' find any chance to bring them in the order I want to use.
2) Is there a way to set the number of lines in the bookmark-list
I only get 10 lines in the bookmark-list, so I always have to update 2 pages of bookmarks. Is there any chance to raise the number of lines/to set them anywhere in the "my settings"?
Thx in advance, - alfred -
Solved! Go to Solution.
it's my main interface for looking what's new in what forum and go into them. For that I have two questions (or requests):
There is a better way to mark the forums that you frequently visit.
Go to the Main page find the forum you want such as AutoCAD 2013 and at the top left beside the New Message box is a drop down list titled Board Options in that list is an option to Float this Board to the Top click on that option and then go back to the Main Page and you will find that your selected forum is now listed at the top. The number shows the new posts\replies that you have not been read by you as in the the image below. Just repeat the process for all your favorites.
As for the Bookmark option I find it helpful for how to's and work around type stuff that I need to keep up with.
thank you, great alternative. All sorted and on one site, great!
Thx, - alfred -

ARCADIA, Calif. (Oct. 9, 2013)—Never worse than second in seven career starts, Bella Viaggia will be back to defend her title in Saturday's $100,000 California Distaff Handicap at 6 ½ furlongs down Santa Anita's hillside turf course. The Mike Puype-trained filly by Good Journey seeks her fifth win overall and heads a field of eight California-bred fillies and mares aged three and up.
Second with Gary Stevens in the one mile turf Solana Beach Handicap Aug. 18, Bella Viaggia won the $100,000 Cal Cup Distaff Handicap a year ago in her only try down the hill. Based at Betfair Hollywood Park, she'll be ridden for the second time by Stevens on Saturday.
Owned by SLO Racing Stable, Bella Viaggia's overall mark stands at 7-4-3-0, with earnings of $249,360. Scratched from the rail out of Saturday's L.A. Woman Stakes at 6 ½ furlongs on the main track, multiple stakes winner Ismene will break from the outside Saturday in her second career try down the hill.
Trained by Bill Spawr, and owned by her breeder, Stephen Ferraro, Ismene, a 4-year-old filly by Tribal Rule, showed great promise at two, winning all three of her starts which included the $80,000 Anoakia Stakes in Oct. 2011, and the $100,000 California Breeders Champion Stakes on Dec. 26, 2011.
Following her Cal Breeders triumph, Ismene went to the sidelines and didn't resurface until Jan. 25 of this year. Although winless in five tries this year, Ismene has three seconds, including her most recent effort, a second-condition allowance race going one mile at Del Mar on Aug. 25.
Quick from the gate, Ismene was second in her lone hillside turf try, the $100,000 Irish O'Brien Stakes March 17. Ridden by Gary Stevens at Del Mar, she'll cut back in distance Saturday as she draws an outside post and will be reunited with Mike Smith.
Ismene, who drilled six furlongs at Santa Anita on Sunday in a bullet 1:12.20, is 8-3-3-0, with earnings of $216,990.
In a race with what appears to be plenty of early lick, the Mike Pender-conditioned Tasty Treat could be the quickest of the quick. A gate to wire winner of the five furlong turf Daisycutter Handicap at Del Mar on Aug. 9, she is in search of her third consecutive turf sprint win with Rafael Bejarano.
Owned by Cunningham Stable, the 4-year-old filly by Roar has career earnings of 333,874. With a win and a second from three tries down the hill, Tasty Treat is 17-7-4-1 overall.
The complete field for the California Distaff Handicap, to be run as the seventh on a 10-race card Saturday, with jockeys and weights in post position order: Bella Viaggia, Gary Stevens, 119; Dancingtothestars, Mario Gutierrez, 120; Mia Lady, Victor Espinoza, 112; Qiaona, Corey Nakatani, 116; Toomanytomatoes, Agapito Delgadillo, 115; Tasty Treat, Rafael Bejarano, 120; Pahiatua, Joe Talamo, 115, and Ismene, Mike Smith, 119.
First post time on Saturday is at 1 p.m. For more racing information, please visit santaanita.com.

Classic porn from the Seventies will inevitably seem dated; 16mm film is no longer the medium of choice, the actors are often hairy or at least have shaggy haircuts, and even though the sex is pre-condom, the tangling often portrays tenderness rare today.

Glad to see you got your Cub back up to power. The only thing I have to add regards the smoke you are seeing. From what I could see in your video, the smoke only seems to occur on cranking and when the engine first takes up a load (climbing a hill, engaging the mower, etc.), and then clears up. From what I understand, that's perfectly normal - except that it is generally a bit darker, more towards black (ill have to say the white smoke had me concerned at first, but it seemed to clear up in no time) - and all internal combustion engines do this. Maybe the white color has something to do with the additive you're using?
Anyway, it's great that you are up and running.

Atlanta Braves second baseman Dan Uggla swung at the first pitch he saw in the first inning of Wednesday's game against the Florida Marlins, and he lined it into center field for a two-run single, extending his hitting streak to 31 games. Uggla tied Rico Carty for the longest streak in Atlanta Braves history, and it also tied him for the 25th-longest streak in major-league history.
Again, that's Dan Uggla, career .258 hitter, who was hitting .185 a month ago today. Just making sure you were paying attention.
Uggla continued his amazing stretch off of Marlins pitcher Anibal Sanchez, jumping on a first-pitch fastball with runners on second and third. While two of his hits in the past week have been infield dribblers, this one was absolutely pounded.
To give some idea of the rarity of a 31-game hitting streak, Uggla's next hit will give him the 23rd-longest streak of all-time, and two more hits will tie him for 19th-longest ever. He's entering some exclusive company -- not bad for someone who was struggling to stay above the Mendoza Line earlier this month.

Artwork will celebrate Sunderland ship-building
'The Keel Line' and 'Propellers of the City' are significant works for Sunderland. Not only will they be important records of our maritime heritage, they will also act as a 'Keel Line' for the future development of the former Vaux brewery site as it progresses towards its new purpose as an urban business district.
– Cllr Paul Watson, Leader of Sunderland City Council
"In creating the new city centre public space we saw the opportunity to celebrate Sunderland's shipbuilding and industrial heritage. We want people in the city to become involved in the work, supplying photographs of relatives who worked in the shipyards and sharing their own thoughts on the many ships that sailed from Sunderland's yards."
