|I live and garden in Southern Cal. (zone 9).
This isn't supposed to be an ideal climate for rock/alpine garden plants.
Nevertheless -- I do rock gardening extensively -- adapting the plants I have found that do well here (sedums, small bulbs, small xeric perennials, etc.)
I want to expand a lot this year -- having searched out many online nurseries that sell RG plants.
Anyone out there in SoCal attempting or successfully doing rock gardens?
Also, I would be happy to send a list of the plants I have found that do well here if anyone is interested.

|Looks like there are not too many people left that rock garden in California or anywhere else (?). I have done some "rock gardening" here in Santa Maria, CA but mostly with plants in pots or pot contained arranged plantings.
Most are gone but I do have a favorite that you may want to try. It is Lewisia. You may be able to find plants at a local OSH though there are sites on the net that offer them. There are alot of plants that are suitable for rock gardening in So.Cal. These are mostly desert type plants.
Some of the low alpine type plants should be quite suitable as well as using regular non-rock garden plants, such as herbs that can add balance to the garden.
The link is to one retailer that offers some nice plants that might handle So. Cal. conditions. Unfortunately they do not send mail order. But the list is informative.
Here is a link that might be useful: Mt. Tahoma Nursery
|Hi TM,
Thanks for the message.
There are a TON of plants that can be grown here in Socal that will work in rock gardens.
I don't know about Mt. Tahoma but I found at least four online nurseries that ship here with lots of very interesting plants.
I've seen several of your posts on the RG forum that I enjoyed reading.
Let's keep the communication going.

|Howdy Danty,
What is your favorite rock garden plant?
|That's easy -- Oxalis.
I like Oxalis -- all types.
Right now I grow about a dozen varieties.
Here's what I like about them:
What about yours?

|Dudleya pulverulenta
this is a California native species found in the mountains
where chaparral occurs.
It is a great plant and can become very large and is very easy to grow if you do not overwater it.
I have one that is growing in a square 4 inch plastic pot that is lying on one of its sides that I have placed upon the edge of my back porch roof facing west. It gets some sun but in nature it gets alot of sun during mid day. I squirt water into the pot every now and then to keep it from shriveling up. check the link

|Hey, I grow that one, too!
I got one years ago from the Las Pilitas Nursery branch down in San Diego county.
I had it in a narrow, gravelly raised bed and it didn't want to grow at all.
So I put it in a pot and re-located it to the north side of my house (thinking it wanted more shade).
It survived but it still languished.
About two months ago I moved the pot to my south-facing patio where it gets all morning sun.
Yes, great plant.
Are you familiar with Dudleya brittonii?

|YO! Years ago I was planning on building a collection of native Dudleya species but got sidetracked by other priorities. D. brittonii was on my list but never got around to getting any. But I was over in Lompoc years ago and there was a nursery there that had 3 pots of Dudleya edulis. Got them all and they ended up on top of my back porch roof where they get plenty of sun and not too much water! They survive up there with some native Opuntia littoralis , probably, (one saved from a Nipomo development-they literally scrapped off all the vegetation and dump it and a couple from near Thousand Oaks), along with some Polypodium californicum , the original little plant that I found up in the chaparral above Santa Barbara.
They seem to love it up there though it can really get hot during midday but becomes shaded during early afternoon.
What I enjoy most about the fern is that I do not even have to water them as they just dry back and come back with the rains. The D. edulis produces viable seed and I get seedlings popping up in my mosses.
Guess I need to take some photos of them.

When I say to you "breakfast clubs" do you think about??
a) The delectable Molly Ringwald in the *awesome* film from the 80s?
b) or a fantastic school run club that makes your home/work life balance easier knowing that your kids are having a great start to the day in a safe and secure environment?
As a WAHM (Work at Home Mum) I am fortunate in that I work hours to suit my childcare needs but many of my working mum friends struggle to maintain a healthy balance as our school doesn't offer a breakfast club due to a lack of resources. The majority of working mums I know commute into London, meaning that they need to be on the train by 8am at the latest. They have to pay for expensive private childcare in order to do their jobs. Whilst this fills the need, the perfect solution would be to have a breakfast club at the school.
We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day but did you know the following facts:
- 1 in 4 school kids are under-performing at school because they have no breakfast or a breakfast of junk food like burgers or crisps to start the day – that's one million children each day.
- 3% of kids have cake for breakfast, 2% a burger, 2% crisps and 3% chocolate
- 1 in 4 girls at secondary school skip breakfast and 14% of them do so because they are dieting
- 1 in 5 5-6 year olds prepare their own breakfast and this rises to two thirds of 13-14 year olds.
- 44% of primary school children skip breakfast because they have no time in the morning.
These facts are utterly shocking and we need to turn these stats around for the future of our children and generations to come. To combat this Kellogg's Cornflakes are launching the 'Help Give a Child a Breakfast' campaign and for every pack of cornflakes sold, they will donate 3p to the Kellogg's Breakfast Club Trust aiming to raise a minimum of £300,000 – which equates to one million breakfasts for children by the end of 2012.
So what can you do to help?
There are lots of things you can do to help promote the campaign. These are:
- Buy a box of Kellogg's Cornflakes and take it along to your child's breakfast club – encourage the school to apply for a Give a Child a Breakfast grant of £400 & £50 Kellogg's vouchers.
- If your child's school hasn't got a breakfast club, they can register to set one up by visiting www.giveachildabreakfast.co.uk – Kellogg's will help them with training and a start up grant.
As a parent, the most important thing you can do to help is to make sure your child has breakfast every single day and looking at these stats, we would be foolish to ignore them.
Are you lucky enough to have a breakfast club? Would love to hear your thoughts!

I am fixing the drums, but I can't quantize and crossfade it, cause it sounds like the ride is side chained... so I need to time warp it.. I searched the forum, and posts from 2013 says it can't be done.. is this still true? I on Cubase 7.
but it would been a lot easier and probably better with the time warp!
Grim wrote:Yes this is still true.
There is a workaround of sorts in that you can bounce out up to 6 tracks to a 5.1 audio file, warp this and then split back out to single tracks. If you have more than 6 tracks this won't help you though!
Are you sure you can't improve on the cut'n slide results with some detailed manual editing?

As many of you may know, DH and I have a "sex on demand" policy running for the past several months. And until now, this really hasn't been an issue, but here in the past week or so, DH has tried initiating when I'm very intensely absorbed in studying. I'm a university student, and I am at the point where I'm deeply into my major courses. It's tough, and I need to be able to focus on studying.
Is it okay to suggest a "rain-check" until the next morning? Or should I just drop the studying and oblige right then? I asked for a rain check the other day, and though he said he was okay with it, he seemed a bit frustrated. Is there a better way to do this, because I have to make decent grades. He knows how committed I am to getting my degree, and the decision for me to go back was a joint decision.

Cindy - good morning girl!
Slow - do you know what the movie is tonight?
DS14 and I are taking a kick boxing class tonight. That has me really scared! I haven't done a hard core workout in a while. I would guess by Friday, I won't be able to move! ;) Hopefully DS14 likes it and we can start taking a couple classes a week.

Well, given the timings, it seems like tonight's film is Monsters U. :)
I hope that those of you in different timezones have had a good Wednesday or about having one (IYSWIM).
I actually got a little peckish this afternoon which is fairly unusual. I spent a while figuring out what was available that was suitable so that by the time I'd worked out what I could eat as a snack, the feeling had passed away. It's been so hot (by UK standards) that I haven't really eaten much on UDs lately so I wonder if today's DD reflected that. :dunno:
still on induction, so...
B: black coffee (0)
L: protein shake (190)
D: protein shake (190)
380 cals
Yes, Adi, you! You look beautiful, Fit and trim and fantastic posture! (Of course all our Buddds are gorgeous...) :D
ROFL! Oh I loved that show! We would listen to it while we worked at night in the hospital!
Good job JBs! Well, I did it again, and went overboard with the HWC. Now I know why I have kept it out of the house for so long. :D I'm at nearly 500 and no room to eat anything. :( I may eat a little something anyway later, like a piece of turkey with a pickle. ;)
Awww Cindy :hugs: Tomorrow will be here soon! Broth, broth and more broth! :D Shiritaki in broth...
Oh. I could have had broth! :doh: I had two slices of turkey, a pickle, 1/2 LC cheese....and then a fruit bar.:D

It seems like a part of a through line of the other canceled soaps before it, that as All My Children goes off the air come this September 23rd after its 40-year-network television run on ABC, it follows the now tradition set by Guiding Light, and As the World Turns …as another soap leaving daytime with a gay love story and/or gay central characters attached to it. And, as AMC heads into its final month of air shows and final few weeks of taping, the powers-that-be have finally advanced (and rather quickly we might add!) the love story of Bianca Montgomery and Marissa Chandler.
But what makes this story more intriguing are the mere facts that Bianca has fallen in love with a previously known "heterosexual" woman of Pine Valley, and that Marissa started out as Bianca's divorce attorney while Bianca was trying to extricate herself from a messy divorce and custody battle for her children from her then wife, Reese. (You all remember Reese, don't you?) And, while poor Bianca has had more of her share of boggled romances and unimaginable circumstances thrown at her, she has always been the moral center of Pine Valley on the female side. Of course, what is also fascinating is that as we head towards the network conclusion of this series, both actresses playing the new lovebirds are both recasts…Christina Bennett Lind replacing Eden Riegel as Bianca and Sarah Glendening replacing Brittany Allen as Marissa, both in 2010.

Facilities were great, took advantage to wind down before my long haul
flight with a swim/ spa and sauna.
Lots of choice for breakfast and everything worked like clockwork to get me to the airport for my flight. Felt very relaxed and staff were very friendly and efficient. - Anonymous
The staff were excellent,friendy sense of humour and extremely helpful. The room service meals we ordered were exceptional and fast in delivery. The minni bar was stocked with a good choice of drinks, the wine was very good. We will always be using youe services in the future when collecting family from the airport. - Anonymous
остановиться на ночь, самый лучший вариант - Anonymous
I could only point out the very good personal. The man from Pakistan (I
don't remember his name, we checked in at around 1 pm) at the front
desk was very very helpful and friendly. I would give him 10 points out
of 10!!! The other person (I think original from India) on the evening
shift was very friendly and helpful as well. Thank you very much. - Anonymous
The proximity to the airport and the complimentary shuttle bus to & from the airport is excellent.
I also like that you can leave your car there at a reduced price to long term parking.
The restaurant was delicious - Anonymous
The staff is really nice. Especially the shuttle bus driver could give you many advices for your questions. And the staff in resturant is really kind even i was late to arrive which close to OFF time. Specially thanks to Rick Yen who made nice arrangement for me. - Anonymous
The lady at the front desk was very helpful as I told her about the old
tired apartment I was in and showed her what was being advertised on the
website I was then switched to a better one. Thanks to that you will be
seeing me again :) - Anonymous

People keep harassing me to get one of these dev kits, but at this point I'm trying to hold out in case the consumer version has any sort of upgrade (as it will be cheaper, too).
Also, at US$356 delivered, it hasn't quite hit my value requirements yet. Its feature-list seems entirely confined to "playing the games that have had support for it added" (VorpX clearly isn't "there" yet, and adds an extra ~$50 onto the cost).
If I could watch movies on it, then it would be so much better, and 3D movies? Brilliant. I expect these features are coming, and even with just the current level of game support it looks excellent. But I can wait. For now.
Also, this thread's title should probably be "Next Generation of Gaming Incoming". Finally something that adds to games (although the next-gen console approach of "Facebook Integration" is bound to appeal to some people, too).

I am looking to get a TT bike for triathlons (sprint to HIM) and I have the opportunity to get Cannondale's at a pretty good price. From what I understand the Slice is a fairly tall and narrow frame, and I am 6ft with a 32in inseam, so a torsio on the longer side and probably suited more to a long and low frame.
Will I be able to get a good fit on the Slice (specifically Slice 5), and is there anyone out there with a similar body shape that is/has ridden one? If so, what size? I'm thinking a 56.

Never cut hedgerows during the nesting season (March to August). Hedge trimming is best left until the end of winter to leave the larder of fruits and nuts for wildlife.
Sometimes it is not possible to get on the field at this time of the year, and on such occasions trimming can be brought forward to early winter. The most important consideration is to avoid such work during the breeding season. Retain ground cover at the base of the hedge over winter for ground-nesting birds such as partridges.
These best practice guidelines are agreed by conservation groups and agriculture departments. Constraints on hedgerow management have been set out in the legally defined Codes of Good Farming Practice, which applies to all farmers participating in an agri-environment scheme or in receipt of Less Favoured Area payments.
Under these guidelines, hedgerow trimming is not permitted between 1 March 31 July in England and Scotland, between 1 March 31 August in Wales, and 1 March 31 August in Northern Ireland.
The flail has made it possible to trim hedgerows at low cost. Modern labour costs would make trimming by hand prohibitively expensive, so without the flail trimmer, many more farmers may have been forced to remove hedgerows.
The flail trimmer is an excellent hedge-trimming tool, although it is only designed to cut through material up to a maximum of 2cm thick. When it is used on thicker stems the result is ragged, split stems. While this looks terrible, most healthy hedgerows are able to survive and recover. This misuse of the flail trimmer, however, leaves the shrubs very vulnerable to attack by fungal diseases, particularly if the flail is used annually.
A different tractor-mounted machine called a circular saw should be used where thicker growth needs to be cut. Where a hedge has become over-mature and is losing vigour, coppicing or laying should be considered. Wide hedgerows are of particular wildlife benefit.
Existing hedgerows can be allowed to widen by cutting a little further out than the previous cut. This also strengthens the hedgerow shrubs.

Blue Like Jazz
Donald Miller worked for two years to turn his bestselling memoir, Blue Like Jazz, into a movie. First there was the task of wrestling the book—a series of reflections on his struggles with the conservative evangelical church—into a screenplay with a traditional plot structure. It was an undertaking so arduous it became the subject of another book, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years.
Erik Hayden: Book vs. Movie: 'Eat Pray Love'
Alyssa Rosenberg: 'Paradise Lost': The 3-D Movie Adaptation
Alyssa Rosenberg: 'Narnia' vs. 'Lord of the Rings': Competing Visions
When the screenplay was complete, there was the problem of finding financial backers for the movie—a double challenge considering the tough economic climate and the book's difficult-to-categorize subject matter. After a year of fundraising, Miller—who's written a total of five Christian-themed books and is part of an Obama task force on absentee fathers—was still $125,000 short. He decided to give up. Last month, he wrote a post on his blog declaring the project dead. Blue Like Jazz would not be made into a movie.
But it didn't stay dead for long. Two 24-year-old Miller fans launched a page on the crowdfunding website Kickstarter to solicit donations, and within a week and a half, they'd raised enough money to make the movie. Miller and his supporters then set a new fundraising goal: $200,642, so the film would beat wannabe Facebook-killer Diaspora as the highest-grossing project in the history of Kickstarter. Late this week, with just three days to go before fundraising ends and filming begins, the movie surpassed this milestone—as of Friday morning, backers had given a total of more than $203,000.
"It felt like a validation that people love this story, but that both the system in Hollywood and the system in the evangelical church is never going to support it," Miller says.
The point of Save Blue Like Jazz, then, is about more than just making a movie out of a popular book. It's a mission to prove there's a market for a different kind of film that explores the Christian faith: one that expresses doubt but falls eventually on the side of belief.
Movies that focus on Christianity tend to fall into two categories. Films in the first—which includes mainstream blockbusters like the Chronicles of Narnia series as well as movies targeted specifically at Christians like Facing the Giants and Fireproof—tell a straightforward, upbeat, Sunday School-approved story: a hero encounters an obstacle and, with the assistance of a higher power, overcomes it. The best examples are overly simplistic portraits of the faithful life—Jesus does not usually appear in the form of a kindly lion, the way he does in Narnia, and the process of repairing a broken marriage is rarely as easy as Fireproof's prescription of a month and a half of prayer and kind gestures. The worst are just bad movies—hastily made films with, as Alyssa Rosenberg put it in an Entertainment channel post last month, "tacky production values, terrible writing, and massive characterization holes."
To Miller, the biggest problem with these explicitly Christian movies is their humorlessness.
"In Jewish culture, Jewish people can criticize themselves and it's endearing," he says. "They do it all the time—Woody Allen's a great example. In Catholic culture, it's sort of the same thing—you can make a major motion picture and have some priest be a bad guy. And for some reason, those communities don't rise up and get angry."
But that's not the case in the evangelical community, according to Miller: "There's an incredible sensitivity to self-criticism...It's a community that's unable to be balanced and have an objective view of itself, which is extremely unhealthy."
But films that grapple with the more challenging aspects of faith run into their own problems. They tend to be so critical of religion and religious people—think of the shrill hypocrite Hilary Faye in Saved or the morally questionable clergy members in Doubt—that they become polemics against all belief rather than constructive warnings about the dangers of extremism. Slant magazine's dismissal of Saved could be applied to any number of mainstream movies with Christian characters (including, as New York Times religion writer Mark Oppenheimer points out on his blog, the recently released comedy Easy A): "[the film] makes absolutely no distinction between the good Christian and the...nut... and the spectacle of Hilary's un-Christian behavior exists not to promote kindness among the masses, but to mock a belief system." **

It is true. No child should be left behind. All children should succeed in school. They will have better lives. But how do you accomplish this feat? There have been many different approaches over the years. The most recent strategy has been to administer standardized tests to kids on a regular basis. These tests are employed to motivate kids to perform better in school, and to determine whether or not a child can move forward to the next grade. In addition to the children's performance, the exams are also being used to judge how well the teachers and principals are educating our children. The size of a school's budget and whether or not the professionals keep their jobs is often linked to the children's test scores. So, everyone is aligned in putting supreme pressure on kids, and it is heavy for their little shoulders.
The question remains: What is the value of these tests? Are they pushing kids and the educational system to do a better job? Are kids achieving more? The general consensus is that the testing is not working.

Texas bowfishing and duck hunting at it's best!
I grew up fishing the Texas coast therefore
saltwater bowfishing is my specialty. I also guide trips on the Guadalupe River, Lavaca River and Colorado River for Trophy Gar. Very few people realize that the alligator gar are not only found in Texas lakes and rivers but also along the Texas Coast. Everyone concentrates on the alligator gars, but don't forget all the other species that provide awesome shooting fun. Southern and Cow nose Stingrays are pound for pound one of the most exciting fish to shoot. I will travel to wherever it takes to get you the fish you want. I am set up to handle the beginner bow fisherman to the experienced. Bowfishing with me provides a fun and affordable adventure that you will never forget.
I have been duck hunting the Port O'Connor area for over ten years. The Texas coast is blessed with one of the largest winter concentration of ducks in the United States. Red Head, Pintail, are the most prolific but Widgeon, Gadwall, Teal and many other ducks are common. I prefer to hunt sitting in the grass marshes but I do have several blinds to hunt from if needed. I am continuously scouting for the best places to hunt. I specialize in small parties and personal hunts. Youth hunts and family hunts are welcomed. I can also handle cooperate hunts with multiple boats. Come hunt and fish with me for your next Adventure.
For the time of your life ask about our duck hunt and bowfishing combo trips ! No other guide on the texas coast offers this unique experience !

Rhymes with VIRION
vi·ri·onnoun \ˈvī-rē-ˌän, ˈvir-ē-\ (Medical Dictionary)
Medical Definition of VIRION
virionnoun (Concise Encyclopedia)
Entire virus particle, consisting of an outer protein shell (called a capsid) and an inner core of nucleic acid (either RNA or DNA). The core gives the virus infectivity, and the capsid provides specificity (i.e., determines which organisms the virus can infect). In virions whose capsids are further encased by a fatty membrane, the virion can be inactivated by exposure to a solvent such as ether or chloroform. Many virions have capsids with 20 triangular faces and the nucleic acid densely coiled within; others have capsids consisting of surface spikes, with the nucleic acid loosely coiled within. Virions of most plant viruses are rod-shaped.

Dell Takes on Asus With Tiny Laptop
The term "mini-laptop" may not have been coined by the people at Asus computers -- but they've sure made it their own. In less than a year, Eee PCs have defined the genre.
Others have tried to muscle in on the action -- Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) and Intel (INTC) come to mind -- but the original Eee PC and all of the new models (they seem to introduce them every month or two) still reign supreme.
But you knew that at some point, some company would step up to the challenge. And that company is Dell (DELL).

I was a fan of Naruto for a while (mainly because of characters like Kakashi, Shikamaru, Neji, Kiba, and Rock Lee. I hated Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura.) but I lost interest when the series decided to turn into "Sasuke: Featuring Naruto"
Also Bleach. I tried getting into it but there's just too many characters for me to try to keep up with at this point.

Here, you can find an overview of the animago AWARD submission guidelines. Please send your entries as soon as possible. Please note that the animago organizers will not pay any customs fees, duties, tariffs or mail charges incurred by your submission.
Productions with content contrary to law or with obnoxious themes will be not accepted by the German animago host (ATEC Business Information GmbH).
"Educational material with no commercial value"
Participation is free of charge. The number of entries is not restricted. If you register more than one entry, you may send them in one package or even on a single storage media.
Possible entry types are: STILL, FILM and INTERACTIVE:
A still is defined as a picture that has been created predominantly using 3D software. However, a mixture with real elements is allowed as well as touch ups using 2D paint software. The focus is on the modelling of objects, how materials have been used, and how the lighting and perspective have been implemented considering the picture's message. The use of new technologies and the submission's originality will also be evaluated.
Submission requirements:
Submissions must be sent via email to firstname.lastname@example.com, indicating the production title and the submission number, which is provided by our online registration system.
This type serves as a reservoir for films that have been created predominantly using 3D software, as well as compositings. The focus is on how authentic and convincing 3D objects, lighting and camera angles are. However, the dramaturgy, editing and story will also be evaluated by the jury, taking the submission type (e.g. architecture, art, advertising/commercials) into consideration.
Submission requirements:
The Interactive category is designed for submissions that allow the user to control how and in which order information is presented to him. When evaluating the submission, the jury focusses on the overall concept, the clarity of the structure and its graphical conversion. Examples for submissions that fit into this category are film DVDs, interactive visualizations as well as productions created for plug-ins (e.g. Flash, Siverlight), Games (Computer or Console), Mobile applications, Installations, ,...
If you submit a DVD or BluRay design, for example, not the DVD content itself is being judged but the menus, their linking to the film and the target audience. Here, too, the clarity of the structure matters, and so do the transitions between different menus. The Elements used do not necessarily have to be created with 3D software, and can be combined at will.
The production has to be completly submitted with the required player programs or plug-ins, and needs to run on Windows or Apple systems. Merely providing a link pointing to a website where the interactive application can be seen will not be considered a submission!
In addition to the interactive application itself, a self-running presentation is required for the animago ceremony. This presentation should be useable for demonstration purposes and explain how the application works.
The presentation has to comply with the following specifications:
Your contact for all questions regarding the animago AWARD:

CHAPEL HILL The UNC Board of Governors showed little appetite Thursday for a proposal to admit more out-of-state students at some public campuses experiencing waning enrollment.
The UNC system is considering a pilot program to raise the current 18 percent cap on out-of-state freshmen at institutions that have traditionally served minority students.
Five of six minority campuses, already absorbing state budget cuts, also are dealing with deficits because of a drop in students. The largest declines are at Winston-Salem State and Elizabeth City State universities, which each suffered a loss of more than $2 million in enrollment revenue above the budget cut handed down by the legislature.
Overall, the UNC system projected growth this fall and received $29 million systemwide to accommodate greater enrollment.
One board member suggested it is time to talk about consolidating some of the 16 university campuses a controversial idea that was floated by some legislators earlier this year.
Harry Smith Jr. of Washington said no one building a public higher education system in North Carolina today would have so many campuses.
Time and time again, the world-class students are going to try to get in the performing campuses, and then youve got these campuses that are not performing and therefore are having to try to do what theyve got to do to get their headcount up, which may be out-of-state kids, Smith said. At some point I think the conversation has got to be had about consolidation of the 16 campuses.
Board member Hannah Gage of Wilmington said while lifting the cap would be a creative way for campuses with capacity to add students, it would be a short-term fix.
The larger question in my mind is not necessarily do we need to consolidate, Gage said, but ... do we need to reinvent or reimagine some of the campuses that are struggling?
Across the nation, for example, campuses have changed their missions to cater to community college transfers, she said.
Some of that should be part of the conversation before we ramp up the out-of-state numbers, Gage said.
Through the years, the UNC board has discussed the merits of raising the percentage of out-of-state students, which now is limited to 18 percent of entering freshmen (except at the UNC School of the Arts and the engineering program at N.C. A&T State).
Great return
Public universities in other states have admitted more out-of-staters, who pay higher tuition that boosts the bottom line. Research shows that out-of-state students who come to North Carolina for college tend to stay and contribute positively to the economy, UNC officials say.
There is clear evidence that there would be great return not only to the institution but to the system and the state, said N.C. A&T Chancellor Harold Martin.
Martin said A&T benefited tremendously from the exemption of its engineering program from the 18 percent cap. More graduates have moved into Fortune 500 companies in recent years. They then give back to the university and spread the word about A&T. That, in turn, leads to more interest from high school students outside North Carolina, Martin said.
Last year, the campus overshot its out-of-state enrollment, ending up with 31 percent of its freshman class from outside North Carolina. Because of higher minimum academic standards systemwide, the pool of qualified North Carolinians has declined, Martin said. Meanwhile, the campus recruited top out-of-state students, and a larger share decided to come.
This year, N.C. A&T is the only historically black public university to experience an increase in money for enrollment.
More out-of-state students can be a good thing for the state, some board members said.
I think they add great value, and many of them stay and become productive citizens, said John Fennebresque of Charlotte.
UNC President Tom Ross said nearly half of the students who attend universities in the state settle here. There is an economic benefit to North Carolina and to businesses in North Carolina by attracting talent that stays here, he said.
Little momentum
But the debate about whether to admit more out-of-staters has not gained much momentum in North Carolina, where taxpayer support of higher education is strong and where the state constitution promises a college education free of expense, as far as practicable.
Marty Kotis III, a board member from Greensboro, said he is concerned that the latest proposal could violate that constitutional guarantee.
I think we have to continue to remember the citizens of the state and why this university exists the way it is and why its not private, he said.
To shift the focus could lead to a more elite university system that shuts out North Carolinians, he said. I think if you put this out to a poll of the voters today, it would be 90 percent against increasing the out-of-state students.
Henry Hinton, a board member from Greenville, said the board needed to tread carefully about the message it sends to the legislature.
It does strike me that as we try to stop the bleeding on the budget, Hinton said, politically this could be a real hot potato.

Ravichandran Ashwin has come out in support of his team mates and has expressed his delight in the way his side has performed recently. "We are doing well (as a team) and as such there is no need to single out any individual. Everybody is backing each other well," he said. This statement comes after India have taken an unassailable 3-1 lead, despite some poor performances from certain individuals, Rohit Sharma in particular. Sharma has so far scored just nine runs in the entire series. India's real problem throughout the tour has been their inability to contain during the death overs, and Ashwin has voiced concerns over the same. "Some work is being done on bowling at the death. It does happen that bowlers do go for runs, we need to find different lengths at different venues," Ashwin remarked. For Sri Lanka, this series has been anything but a joyride and all rounder Angelo Mathews insists that his side will look for a positive result in the final encounter. "We hope to give our best to try and win Saturday's match. We have not fared well in the series and obviously that is not something to be proud of," Mathews said. Mathews was also a little hesitant of revealing any squad changes despite the series already being decided and said, "since the series has already been decided we are not sure if we would give other players in the squad a chance." Despite the loss of Kumar Sangakkara, owing to a hairline fracture in the index finger, Mathews insisted that there would be no serious change in the batting order, "I don't think there was a need to make changes in the batting order. If we changed anything, the roles assigned to individuals would change. That will not be good for the team."
