Erasmus is designed to bring together second and third year students from the various undergraduate colleges at USF in a shared learning environment with the option for community living. During both fall and spring semesters, students engage in coursework, involvement at a number of organizations, and community building. If you are interested in applying for the Fall 2010 semester, please contact Mike Duffy at email@example.com.
Erasmus students learn theoretical information from the classroom experience, discuss the material as a community and directly apply information and ideas through various community-based research projects. Over the course of a year, students in the community delve deeper into their understanding of the intertextuality of ethics, service, and justice at local and global levels.The community culminates with a two-week experience in a marginalized region which offers students the opportunity to dialogue with people working in direct service roles and reflect on their own evolving understanding of justice, and their role in creating change.Upon successful completion of the year, Erasmus students fulfill these core requirements and earn four units of elective credit:
Successful applicants may choose to live in the designated space for Erasmus in the Lone Mountain Residence Hall or opt to live elsewhere on or off-campus. All community members are required to enroll in the Erasmus courses for both fall and spring semesters.
For priority consideration, apply by March 15, 2010.
Rising second and third year students may apply for Erasmus. The application is only offered online and all fields must be complete in order to be considered. Be sure to review your responses and complete your application by pressing SUBMIT. You will receive an automated response confirming successful submission.

|Look here, if nowhere else
|Permission request
|All of CommonsDelinker's user pages at local wikis, by default, will be linked to this page in meta-wiki. Please feel free to translate this page locally.
|Contact operator
CommonsDelinker is a service brought to local wikis by Wikimedia Commons administrators, maintained by Hoo man, Siebrand and Krinkle. It is aimed at increased trans-wiki cooperation and the prevention of broken image links (unplanned delinking) on local wikis after a Commons file deletion.
- An example of a broken or red link appears at right.
- File Delinking (between Commons and local wikis) is the remedial action that follows detection of a copyvio Commons file.
- CommonsTicker is the initial warning system to local wikis, enabling them to timely and manually delink from Commons copyvio files.
- CommonsDelinker is the 'safety net', should local wikis not react in a standard time to the ticker warning messages.
CommonsDelinker is akin to and shares common goals with, but is not a replacement for CommonsTicker. CommonsTicker gives the initial warning of copyvios, and the timely manual delinking by local communities is always the preferred delinking method, as it allows for both the removal of the copyvio file and manual replacement with an equivalent free file, preceding the Commons deletion. Although CommonsDelinker is a 'safety net' for delayed reaction, it cannot solve all situations.
Wikimedia Commons can't wait longer than the standard Commons deletion timeframe for communities to act on CommonsTicker messages - and local communities deserve something better than the consequent broken links when reactions to ticker messages are delayed. That is why CommonsDelinker is activated as a remedial action following a Commons file deletion.
As administrators we think that the edits of CommonsDelinker are a necessary evil, and not copyrighted. They should be considered Public Domain.
Latest news

How it works
The bot periodically checks the Commons deletions log and for each deleted file, by default,[1] performs the following:
- The bot waits ten minutes to give the deleting administrator time to notice any mistakes he might have made.
- The bot consults CheckUsage. If the image "Foobar.jpg" were deleted, for example, the bot would retrieve [1]
- For each instance returned by CheckUsage:
- Download the current version of that page. (e.g.: en:Special:Export/Foobar)
- Search and remove (or replace) any instances of the deleted image (e.g., [[Image:Foobar.jpg]], [[Image:Foobar.jpg|description|other|parameters]], <gallery>Image:Foobar.jpg</gallery>) in case there is no local copy of the image in a particular wiki.
- The bot saves the page with a summary in English by default. The summary message can be overridden by creating a subpage of the bot.
Edit summary
The bot's edit summary can be translated via the subpage [[User:CommonsDelinker/summary-I18n]] for image removals or [[User:CommonsDelinker/replace-I18n]] for image replacements. Note: The subpage must be created on the wiki that will be edited, not on Meta. The English removal edit summary, for example, is en:User:CommonsDelinker/summary-I18n. If an edit summary is not available and the wiki is not a Wikipedia wiki, the bot will first look for an edit summary in the similar language Wikipedia, before falling back to the default summary.
It is recommended write protecting these sub pages at a later stage when the bot is in action in order to prevent vandalism of these messages.
Summary tweaking
The bot's edit summaries incorporate the collaborative beauty of wikis. Individual wikis should feel free not only to translate the edit summary, but to tweak it, modify the style, add links, etc. Just keep these variables in mind (all are optional and can be placed anywhere in the summary as many times as desired):
- $1 - The name of the file deleted on Commons. This does not include the prefix "Image:"
- $2 - The username of the administrator on Commons that deleted the image being delinked.
- $3 - The comment/summary/reason given by the Commons admin.
- $1 - The original filename
- $2 - The new filename
- $3 - The administrator that issued the replacement.
- $4 - The reason the administrator gave.
Comments, suggestions, complaints, etc.
Siebrand is best contacted through Commons at his wiki talk page or by email.
The source of CommonsDelinker is available under the terms of the MIT license in the pywikipedia Git repository. The most recent operator's manual resides there. A local copy can be found on User:CommonsDelinker/For operators.
- ↑ If the deletion summary contains the string "no-orgullobot", the image will not be orphaned.

The stars, the glamour, the red carpet… ladies and gents, it's time for TIFF!
While TIFF's spanking new home, the Bell Lightbox Theatre, is rolling out miles of plushy red carpet, be sure to see more of Hollywood's glitz and glam at some of Toronto's historic theatres.
One theatre that's high on my list is the Elgin & Winter Garden Theatre Centre, where 50 or 60 films will roll during the 11-day festival.
I recently toured this spectacular theatre, which is North America's only double-decker theatre. And I was enchanted by what I saw in the Winter Garden: the 5,000 leaves that flutter from the ceiling, the Chinese lanterns, and the columns disguised as tree trunks. Add to that the fact that this 1,000-seat wonder was boarded up for 61 years and then reopened in 1989, after a three-year, $30-million dollar restoration (that included its gilded cakebox cousin, the Elgin Theatre)!
See these beautiful theatres with your very own eyes. Ninety-minute tours of the Elgin & Winter Garden Theatre Centre run Thursdays at 5 p.m. and Saturdays at 11 a.m.
Admission for adults is $12, while students and seniors pay $10 for the tour.
Sometimes you go to the theatre to watch a must-see play, or to star gaze. Rare is the moment when you go to a theatre to marvel over the actual theatre—the Winter Garden is worth the swoon and the new Bell Lightbox is quite another. Follow me through the heavy doors of the Winter Garden...

The archaeological area is located under the Papal Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, displaying interesting findings (I - IVcentury AD), a rare fresco calendar with scenes of farm work (late second century AD) as well as some evidence of the early Paleochristian basilica, founded by Pope Sixtus III (432-444).
At the end of the nineteenth century were carried out further renovations, when 14,000 terracotta roof tiles were documented and cataloged. Some of them could be dated and belonged to from the first century to the fifth century AD.
These findings were documented and subsequently published by Filippo Magi.

Why not, indeed? After all, who's to know?
Well, the people at the table, for one thing. They might find it a little odd that Wayne is pretending to drink one of their beers. But they don't -- I'm seated at the Table of the Gift Beer one night, and nobody blinks when Wayne thanks them, they just smile and nod as if to say ''You're welcome.'' Indeed, throughout the show, Wayne conscripts members of the audience as unwitting supporting cast members for his act. There is, for instance, the Designated Recipient of Abuse: Early in the show, Wayne picks out a man who, he says, he can tell came because his wife dragged him, and isn't having a good time; throughout the rest of the show, he'll return to this man to lightly tease him. Always, the Designated Recipients react the same way to the teasing: They laugh extra loud, as if to show that they're good sports. There is also the Horny Schoolmarm: When Wayne ''finds'' a pair of thong panties in his bandleader's pocket, he picks out a dowdy older woman and asks, ''Are these yours?'' and she nods yes. And there is the Man Who Loves Willie Nelson: When Wayne's backup singer Jeff Brandt comes out to do impressions, Wayne says that one audience member requested Willie Nelson and will perform a small dance -- a fist-pumping, hip-thrusting routine -- if Brandt impersonates Nelson. Every night, Brandt impersonates Nelson. Every night, the Man Who Loves Willie Nelson stands, pumps his fists, and thrusts his hips, just like Wayne said he would.
In two weeks of going to the shows, I wait for at least one audience member to refuse to be cast -- to stand up and say, for instance, ''I hate Willie Nelson!'' But nobody ever does. Perhaps they don't want to ruin his act. Perhaps they know that to refuse would be to fail at show business. Wayne says that only twice in his career have the Designated Recipients taken the Abuse poorly: Once, it was a man with, he says, ''no sense of humor at all.'' The other time, it was an ardent fan who retorted that he'd flown to Vegas just to see Wayne and was enjoying the show immensely, thank you very much. (The latter man may have been the most flattering heckler any entertainer has ever enjoyed.) But mostly, people are happy to be complicit in his act -- Wayne may have told a little white lie about them, but it's no big deal.
This is but one of a host of little white lies that Wayne relies on to manufacture spontaneity. The third song in Wayne's first medley is always ''At This Moment,'' and each and every time, he turns to his bandleader and says, ''Hey, remember that song I told you guys not to rehearse because we weren't going to do it? We're going to do it!'' And later in the show, he invariably announces, ''We're going to do a song we had not planned on, but that hasn't stopped us so far tonight,'' before launching into the same quick Spanish instrumental he always plays at that point in the show. Both ''extra'' songs are charming -- they send the message that this isn't just another show, that Wayne likes us enough to give us some bonus songs. It makes us feel like we're getting more for our $65.40 (including service charge) than the suckers who came to the show last night, or who'll come tomorrow. As for his nightly claim that he's had ''17 number one or top 10 songs, and over 50 top 20 songs,'' when according to Billboard he's had 17 top 100 songs -- only one of them top 10, and one top 20 -- well, where's the harm in making the crowd think that they're witnessing a bigger recording star than they are?

Evaluation Procedures
What are standard evaluation procedures?
Before a treatment or rehabilitation protocol can be established, your orthopaedist must first determine the reason for, and source of, your condition. This typically involves a comprehensive physical examination and a detailed medical history profile, in addition to a complete history and description of the symptoms related to your condition. During this initial gathering of information, be sure to notify your physician of any other illnesses, injuries, or complaints that have been associated with the pain or condition, as well as any previous treatments or medications prescribed. Preliminary diagnostic tests may then follow, including blood tests and/or x-rays.
Advanced evaluation procedures:
Patients who require further evaluation may undergo one or more of the following:
- x-ray - a diagnostic test which uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs onto film.
- arthrogram - an x-ray to view bone structures following an injection of a contrast fluid into a joint area. When the fluid leaks into an area that it does not belong, disease or injury may be considered, as a leak would provide evidence of a tear, opening, or blockage.
- magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) - a diagnostic procedure that uses a combination of large magnets, radiofrequencies, and a computer to produce detailed images of organs and structures within the body; can often determine damage or disease in a surrounding ligament or muscle.
- computed tomography scan (Also called a CT or CAT scan.) - a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a combination of x-rays and computer technology to produce cross-sectional images (often called slices), both horizontally and vertically, of the body. A CT scan shows detailed images of any part of the body, including the bones, muscles, fat, and organs. CT scans are more detailed than general x-rays.
- electromyogram (EMG) - a test to evaluate nerve and muscle function.
- ultrasound - a diagnostic technique which uses high-frequency sound waves to create an image of the internal organs.
- laboratory tests (to determine if other problems may be the cause)
- arthroscopy - a minimally-invasive diagnostic and treatment procedure used for conditions of a joint. This procedure uses a small, lighted, optic tube (arthroscope) which is inserted into the joint through a small incision in the joint. Images of the inside of the joint are projected onto a screen; used to evaluate any degenerative and/or arthritic changes in the joint; to detect bone diseases and tumors; to determine the cause of bone pain and inflammation.
- myelogram - involves the injection of a dye or contrast material into the spinal canal; a specific x-ray study that also allows careful evaluation of the spinal canal and nerve roots.
- radionuclide bone scan - a nuclear imaging technique that uses a very small amount of radioactive material, which is injected into the patient's bloodstream to be detected by a scanner. This test shows blood flow to the bone and cell activity within the bone.
After the evaluative information is collected and reviewed, the orthopaedist will discuss the treatment options with you, in order to help you select the best treatment plan that promotes an active and functional life.

Kichler Outdor Accent Light
By Richard S. from Shelter Island, NY on Sep 04, 2009
Used both the large and small fixtures for an open interior on the West coast of Mexico. Lots of salt air
It has been a year since they were installed and so far so good
it is important to order the brackets because the fixtures only come with a threaded pipe at the end (not like the picture)
if there is a better product i have not seen it....very well built

Awsome Light
By Mike H. from Gilbertsville, PA on Feb 13, 2010
Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
I use this as a flagpole light. I wanted a light that was focused and bright enough to illuminate the flag 25' up but not light the whole front yard. After trying over six single and double light options over the years, this is the only one that meets my expectations.

Supports healthy muscle function & contraction
Balances electrolytes which may reduce muscle cramps
Strengthens bones and teeth
Reduces feelings of tiredness & fatigue
Calcium is one of the most abundant and vital minerals in the body. It is thought that nearly 99% of the bodys calcium is stored in the bones and teeth, whilst the remaining 1% circulates in the blood. When blood calcium levels are low, the body robs calcium from the bones which can cause bones to become porous and weak over time. Maintaining healthy calcium levels helps to strengthen bones and support muscle function. Calcium also plays a role in the production of digestive enzymes that can help to neutralise stomach acids and may reduce heartburn.
Magnesium facilitates the absorption of calcium into the body by keeping it soluble. For this reason, calcium and magnesium supplements can be particularly effective at maintaining strong and healthy bones. Magnesium also works independently to support muscle contraction and the transmission of messages through the nervous system. Magnesium may help to maintain a healthy electrolyte balance, which plays a vital role in the bodys fluid balance and muscle function. Some people find that adding higher levels of magnesium to their diet can help to reduce muscle fatigue and cramps.
Alongside the natural ageing process, certain lifestyle factors can also deplete the bodys calcium and magnesium stores. People who exercise regularly or drink high amounts of caffeinated drinks may require more calcium and magnesium in their daily diet in order to maintain healthy electrolyte levels. For best results, magnesium and calcium should be taken in a 2-1 ratio. Our Calcium 400mg and Magnesium 200mg has been specifically designed for rapid and efficient absorption in the body. At Simply Supplements all our products are manufactured in the UK to EU standards that guarantee quality and potency.

Leg cramps at night
Kerry Mitchell, Maltby
A few months back I started getting cramps in my legs, particularly at night. A friend told me that she had also suffered from night cramps and that taking a magnesium supplement had stopped them. I thought I'd give this product a go as I already purchase glucosamine and cod liver oil from you, and so far it has been very rewarding. My night cramps have all but gone (although they have occurred on the odd occasion during the day) and I now get a better nights sleep.

Lack of Calcium
Tom Phillips , Ellesmere
I cant have any lactose so i have little calcium in my diet. i came across this product and thought id try. iv only been taking it 4 weeks and can already feel a difference
i suffer from painful leg cramps during the night and in the mornings. i've heard that magnesium tablets can help to reduce cramps. is this true?
Cramps in the legs are extremely common, especially during periods of rest. Frequent cramps are often caused by low levels of magnesium, calcium and potassium in the body. Many people find that supplementation with magnesium can help to reduce these cramps, therefore we would certainly recommend this product to you.
Nocturnal leg cramps can also be caused by dehydration. Ensure that you drink plenty of water throughout the day to remain hydrated.
|Is it better to take calcium with magnesium or with vit D, or should I buy the three separately or one combined with the other separate.
I also take cod liver oil.
As supplements are not prescription medicines, it is difficult to advise what will work better, as different products will work in different ways for each person. Both Calcium & Vitamin D3 and Calcium & Magnesium are very popular products. Cod Liver Oil naturally contains vitamins A and D, so you may find that you only need to take a Calcium & Magnesium tablet alongside your current Cod Liver Oil capsules.
|I am taking Simply Supplements Slimmex. Will it be okay for me to take the Calcium
and Magnesium supplement at the same time?
Yes, providing that you do not exceed the recommended dosages for each product, it is perfectly safe to take this product alongside Slimmex. If you do have any concerns, we would advise that you consult your GP.
|Could you please tell me what Calcium and Magnesium are in these supplement?
Each tablet provides beneficial levels of Calcium Carbonate and Magnesium Oxide.
|Can I crush up these tablets and mix them with something, like yogurt, as an alternative to swallowing them whole?
Yes we would advise doing this if you have difficulty swallowing them. This does not affect the strength of the product.
|Are these tablets suitable to take in pregnancy and while breastfeeding?
Calcium and magnesium are both important minerals for growing babies and children. However, it is always best to check with your GP or Midwife before taking any supplements when pregnant or breastfeeding.
|How many tablets need to be taken a day and what shape are they?
We advise that you take one to two tablets daily with food. Each tablet is oblong in shape and measures approximately 10mm x 9mm.
|can you tell me if 1 calcium tablet contains the 400mg and mag 200mg or do you have to take the 2 tablet to get this amount .
Each tablet contains 400mg calcium and 200mg magnesium
|are these tablets fairly soft and easy to chew? we have had another brand that are too hard.
The Calcium and Magnesium are a hard tablet, designed to be swallowed. Calcium tablets most commonly come in hard tablet form.
|Is this product suitable for Vegans?
I can confirm this product is suitable for Vegans

The Urbanworld Film Festival-Zane's Sex Chronicles By Derrick Salters for Harlem World Magazine
There was a buzz in the air Friday night at the AMC Loews Theater on 34th street, due to the screening of Zane's Sex Chronicles at the Urbanworld Film Festival. New York Times best-selling author Zane mixed it up with media, as did Executive Producer Suzanne de Passe and cast members Maya Gilbert, Laila Odom, Christina DeRosa, Johanna Quintero, Kalon Jackson and comedian Capone. As the interviews and photo opps continued on a little pass the start time of the screening, the crowd's anticipation started to bubble. These avid readers of Zane's books wanted to see if the sexiness described in the books would carry over to the screen. They were hungry for a little visual stimulation. Once everyone was seated, Suzanne de Passe, Zane and a Cinemax executive said a few words. Then the lights went down and the temperature went up. Continue Reading →

A Distinguished History of Electing Republicans in Manhattan…
Legendary Republican elected officials such as Theodore Roosevelt, Fiorello
LaGuardia, Frederic Coudert, Jr., Ruth Pratt, Jacob K. Javits, MacNeil Mitchell, Louis J. Lefkowitz, Stanley
M. Isaacs, John Lindsay, Ted Kupferman, Whitney Seymour, Bill Green, Roy
Goodman, John Ravitz, Charles Millard, and Andrew Eristoff all began
their political careers by being elected to local legislative office as
Republicans hailing from Manhattan. In addition, Mayors Rudy
Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg were able to win citywide office and
Thomas E. Dewey won statewide directly as Republicans from Manhattan.
Beginning with the election of Theodore Roosevelt to the New York State Assembly
in 1881 (at 24, the youngest person elected to the NYS Assembly) to the election of
Ruth Sears Baker Pratt to the US House of Representatives in 1928 (the
first woman elected to the US Congress from New York State) and through the reelections of
Roy Goodman to the State Senate and John Ravitz to the State Assembly in 2000 and Mayor Michael
Bloomberg in 2009, Manhattan Republicans have often defied the odds and enjoyed
notable success and distinguished records of public service.

Korean Traffic Directors
This is the kind of stuff we expected to see when we came to Bucheon. We thought that life would be normal here, but there would be little flare-ups of colorful and exuberant Asian culture, and that we would giggle to ourselves about how weird things are around here. It turns out that there isn't as much shock value as we expected, that everything isn't covered in stars and bright colors and anime; the women don't all wear schoolgirl uniforms and giggle incessantly and the men don't wear rocket packs. Life is just about normal here, contrary to what television has taught us. Only every once in a while do we see something silly, and its those moments that we cherish.
Last Saturday had one of those moments. We never mentioned this before, but in Korea (or Bucheon, at least) – in front of every major shopping center – traffic directors guide your car into the parking lot. What's weird about these traffic directors is that they are very well dressed, and that they bow at the cars that pass them by. There are teams of directors at times as well, with a man directing the traffic and bowing and a woman – also unusually well-dressed – in a glass booth and wearing a microphone piece. What she's saying to the now-directed cars we can't say, because we don't understand Korean yet, but we're guessing it has something to do with thanking you for coming to the store, that your service is well appreciated, and other such stuff.
Now, we can imagine that this job would become very boring very fast, and so it's understandable that these traffic directors have to find ways of keeping themselves entertained. One of these ways is by dancing out your directions. We happened to catch this on camera. Mind you that this dancing was at a very busy section, with everyone there to watch. Yet the traffic director feels no shame, and dances like no one is watching.
Filed Under:Random Magical Items!
haha i love daft punk! nice robot traffic dance
lol. this is funny.
you should go check out the department store in Kangnam or some big city WHEN THEY OPEN.
Get there about 10 min before the open and get in as they open the door.
get your camera ready and please try! Won't regret!

Thanks Duane. Speaking of radio, do you see any chance of classical music and/or smooth jazz returning to Milwaukee? The new ratings system makes it tougher. What is your take?
Slim to none chance of classical or jazz format revival. See why in the story

All the crazy stuff that happens in the story of Io would be right at home on the front page of any tabloid today.
Zeus, Caught in the Act!
Io Seduced, Shamed, Transformed!
Hera Seeks Awful Revenge!
Doesn't this sound like stuff you'd read in line at the grocery store? And it's all straight from this super ancient myth. Check it out: you've got a young, sexy nymph seduced by a corrupt politician dude. They almost get busted by his wife so the guy disguises his lover. The wife doesn't buy it, though, so she has the lover imprisoned and tortured.
Are you kidding us? How many trashy magazines would that sell?
Whether you admit to reading gossip rags or just sneakily check out the headlines while you're waiting in line, there's no doubt we're interested. The more sensational the headline, the more we want to know all the dirt. And trust us: the story of Io does not disappoint.

Forgotten Fire Winery is owned by Lindsay and Joe Callow. The Callows opened the winery on October 1st 2011. A visit to Rose Valley Winery in Michigan led to a fateful meeting with winemaker, Adam Kolodziejski. Adam expressed how his passion had led him to starting a winery, and how easy it would be for the Callows to do the same. Joe and Lindsay quickly found themselves believing that Adam had too much to drink that day. Nonetheless, after a few years of research, license applications, winemaking internships, and tears…Forgotten Fire Winery was born. Named in honor of the Great Peshtigo Fire of 1871, the winery sits on land located in the town of Peshtigo, though the actual address is in Marinette.
Lindsay, a native of Waukesha, WI, grew up in an Italian family where wine was always a part of family dinners. Lindsay has a bachelor's degree in Business Management with an emphasis in Marketing from UW-Whitewater. Her years of experience in marketing and promotions make her the backbone of all the winery events and promotion. Joe may not admit it, but Lindsay has the superior palate and tends to be the final say on all the wines.
Joe is a native of Menominee, MI. As a young man, no one trusted him to prepare a dish for family get-togethers. Instead, he was set with the task of finding the wine. Joe took this very seriously, learning about food and wine pairing, oh and he did a lot of sampling.
Joe is a graduate of UW-Green Bay receiving his BS in Pre-Medicine. After wasting most of his career in radio, he is finally using that biology and chemistry for something worthwhile.
In May, 2013, Cellar Manager, Jake Wagner, joined the team. Jake grew up in Porterfield and went to high school in Marinette. His interest in winemaking sparked a few years out of school where he tried home brewing for... the first time yielding an unsuccessful attempt at strawberry wine. After doing 4 years in the Navy as a Gunners mate, he got a job on a local construction crew. That crew was involved in the construction of Forgotten Fire Winery. His interest in winemaking sparked again, but with some help from Joe, he was successful in making a good batch of gewürztraminer. Jake lives in Marinette with his wife Kate and daughter Zoey.
The 2013 team includes part-time tasting room staffers, Ashley Teasdale and Lisa Garrison. And, rounding out the team for events are Molly Martin and always the reliable parents of Lindsay (Ron and Sharon Malenck) and Joe (Jim and Joan Callow).
Forgotten Fire Winery began with just 5 acres of land, 4 white wines, 3 red wines and the dreams of one headstrong couple. In 2012, 14 adjacent acres were purchased for future growth of the business. In 2013, the winery expanded to reach around 9000 square feet of space. Forgotten Fire Winery currently offers over 20 wines and a variety of wine-related gift items in the tasting room. Stop in and try some for yourself. You may not remember the fire…but you will remember the wine!

Allenstown officials cut 150 units from curbside pickup
"We're in the process of contracting with outside vendors instead of our highway department to reduce the cost to the town," he said. "We had to draw a line someplace, in terms of which types of apartment buildings we would provide trash pickup for and which ones we couldn't."
"In trying to obtain a reasonable contract with outside vendors, our goal was to have all the trash picked up in one day," said Mulholland, "and if we had kept the ordinance the same, which would have added 150 more stops, it would have required the vendor to bring a crew in for another day (at an additional cost to the town)."
"By contracting out, we're going to save hundreds of thousands over a 10-year period, and that's a conservative calculation," he said. "Obviously health insurance and retirement costs are already high and, of course, we expect they're only going to get higher, but even projecting (the next 10 years) at today's numbers, and then factoring in vehicle insurance and maintaince costs ... we're going to see significant savings."
"If they are residents, they can bring their trash to our landfill at no charge, or the landlords can contract with private contractor" he said. "The reality is these are commercial buildings. These landlords own buildings, so they can contract out if they'd like to continue offering trash pickup."

Military to mobilise smartphone soldiersPUBLISHED: 06 Sep 2012 00:02:19 | UPDATED: 06 Sep 2012 14:55:27PUBLISHED: 06 Sep 2012 PRINT EDITION: 06 Sep 2012
Defending data is the new battleground. Photo: ADF
David Braue
Over 500 Department of Defence (DoD) workers are wrapping up a successful pilot program which is expected to spawn a huge 2013 project to improve data access, normalise the miltary's use of mobile devices and reinvent its use of computers. Adoption of Citrix Systems' virtual desktop technology – in which Windows computers run on servers and are accessed across a network – is an ambitious solution to the DoD's need to enforce hard separation between information of different classifications.
Staff long used separate physical computers individually configured to access unclassified, restricted, secret and top-secret networks. The system worked, but was physically unwieldy and difficult to manage.
Now, staff can have just one computer to access each virtual desktop as needed and permitted. This simplifies data access while maintaining security perimeters, and will cut costs in line with this year's budget, which slashed $5.45 billion from Defence funding over the next five years.
Virtual desktops will also help Defence maintain security while meeting the expectations of staff demanding to work from their own smartphones, tablets and laptops. Citrix virtual desktops can be accessed just as easily from mobile devices as from desktop computers. And since the data is never actually transferred to the mobile device, it remains protected no matter what happens to the device.
"Up until a few years ago it just wasn't possible to do that in a secure way in an environment like Defence," chief information officer Greg Farr says.
Identity and access management (IAM) – encompassing many tools for confirming the identity of a person or computer – is critical to DoD's information management challenge. Multi-factor authentication, bolstering user ID and password sign-on with a hardware device displaying regularly changing codes, complements internal network defences which continually monitor user and application behaviour.
Today's military establishment must deal not only with physical attacks by foreign interests, but incessant and increasing background noise from targeted cyber attacks, denial-of-service attacks and ever-smarter malware. As the ongoing Wikileaks saga shows, any compromise of Defence information can have catastrophic consequences.
Compounding the issue is a broader military trend: increasingly information-driven warfare depends on the increased mobility of information that must flow smoothly but securely to soldiers in the field – and trusted suppliers, partners and foreign military forces.
Defence agencies around the world are "very much investigating ways they can procure [information] services from outside the fence, but in a matter that meets their security requirements", says Russell Hatton, general manager of defence contractor CSC Defence.
"This requires a surety around identity management, and there's a greater push among coalition members towards standardisation. As industry partners are becoming more integrated into the defence [information] fabric, there has been a substantial push to educate industry players and make sure they have the right level of network and information security in place."
This may require a rethink of application strategies: mobile application developers, for example, must design applications so that no user data is ever actually stored on the mobile device. They may also tap into smartphones' location capabilities so that particular information and applications can be accessed only when the phone is within specific physical boundaries.
Traditionally conservative DoD information management techniques are being revisited. For example, Microsoft's SharePoint collaboration platform – ubiquitous in the private sector – is getting a look-in at Defence after department IT staff and integrator Myriad Technologies recently piloted its use, along with iOra's Geo-Replicator data-compression tool, to compress and efficiently deliver information to field staff even in areas with poor wireless coverage.
By stepping up to Sharepoint from its outdated Lotus Notes platform, DoD will be able to more effectively tag content by classification – ensuring data can be exchanged without inadvertently mixing, say, unclassified and restricted information.

TSC Ratings' Updates: Winn-Dixie
The following ratings changes were generated on Monday, Dec. 15.
We've downgraded solid waste services company Casella Waste Systems (CWST) from hold to sell, driven by its unimpressive growth in net income, generally weak debt management and generally disappointing historical performance in the stock itself.
Net income has significantly decreased by 27% since the same quarter a year ago, to $2.1 million,, underperforming the commercial services and supplies industry but outperforming the S&P 500. The debt-to-equity ratio is very high at 4.2 and currently higher than the industry average, implying very poor management of debt levels within the company. Casella also maintains a poor quick ratio of 0.7, which illustrates the inability to avoid short-term cash problems. Current return on equity exceeded its ROE from the same quarter one year prior, a clear sign of strength within the company. Casell'as gross profit margin of 35.3% is strong, though it has decreased from the same period last year. The net profit margin of 1.30% trails the industry average.
Shares havv tumbled by 75.3% over the past year, underperfomring the S&P 500. Consistent with the plunge in the stock price, the company's earnings per share are down 46.7% compared with the year-earlier quarter. Naturally, the overall market trend is bound to be a significant factor, and in one sense, the stock's sharp decline last year is a positive for future investors, making it cheaper (in proportion to its earnings over the past year) than most other stocks in its industry. But due to other concerns, we feel the stock is still not a good buy right now.

text: Tenure Talk Revisited Susan Alexander October 25, 2011 1 Comment "No other job has tenure for life; faculty positions shouldn't either." I've heard this claim for years, but these days the repetitions are more frequent and more strident. This is partly a result of the national debate about the cost of higher education and partly a consequence of the high unemployment rate and general job insecurity. But is it true? On Sept. 26, 2008, I wrote in The Scroll about the importance and value of tenure, including the freedom to pursue and disseminate knowledge and understanding. I was really pleased that one of our students (James Heaney) called it "a robust defense of tenure" in his comment. I won't repeat those arguments here, though they are still timely. There is a downside to tenure. I alluded to this in that blog but never revisited it, probably because the downside is a rare occurrence. It is the possibility that a faculty member may sit down on the job once tenure is attained. We should all be willing to admit that this happens occasionally. Among ourselves, not only do we admit it but we have a name for it – deadwood. If shirking reaches the stage of failure to perform the duties of a faculty member, tenure may be revoked. But from my long experience in higher education, shirking is indeed rare. Mostly, faculty push themselves and each other to improve in all facets of the work. That may best be understood by looking at teaching as a calling, not just a job. Other jobs are callings, too, of course – and some you'd hardly expect. My dad was a rural letter carrier in the hills of Arkansas. For some people on his route, he would be the only person they would talk with for weeks. For some, he brought medicine from town. From children on the route, he bought eggs – dozens per week when the hens were laying. He went with the county sheriff to deliver news of deaths of sons in Vietnam. He drank white lightnin' with Charlie, an old man on his route who distilled a fine (if illegal) elixir. My dad made his job a calling, but he didn't have tenure. Does any other job have tenure attached? Ron Jenkins, in the Sept. 16, 2011, Chronicle of Higher Education, cites Clayton Christensen and Henry Eyring, who argue that there are other knowledge workers who have tenure for all intents and purposes. They point out that professions such as law and accounting offer partnerships to those who prove themselves in the field. Like tenure, a partnership may be revoked under extreme circumstances, but such instances are rare. Economists would consider these partnerships (and tenure in academe) to be ties committing not only the employer to the worker but the worker to the employer. Partnership and tenure are rewards for acquiring the years of education and proving one's worth to the organization. Partnership and tenure give a voice in decisions and a guarantee of longevity with the firm or the university. And that is good for the faculty member and good for the university. RelatedTenure ExplainedReflecting on "Airplane Day"Take Some of St. Thomas Along as you Rush Into "the Real World"It's Time to Show People That you Care One Response Mark Schroepfer, St Paul October 25, 2011 Is this an appropriate article for the Scroll? I think not. This article consists of a slanted view of a controversial policy issue. Others, particularly consumers of and investors in higher education, would refute these claims and insert additional concerns as well. But not here. The Scroll is intended to trumpet the good works and mission of UST, not debate its own policy decisions.
