Minutes for 12/03/08

Guests: President Trauth, Provost Moore, Assoc Provost Bourgeois
Meeting called to order at 4:00
President Trauth, Provost Moore and Assoc. Provost Bourgeois responded to the Senate's PAAG items:
PPS 8.10 Tenure and Promotion Review:
Over the past month, Personnel Committees across campus have been engaged in Tenure and Promotion decisions. As a result, questions have been raised regarding modifications to PPS 8.10 Tenure and Promotion Review that apparently occurred during the Spring 2008 semester. Specifically, paragraph 30 states: "At a meeting of the personnel committee, with the chair/director presiding in a voting capacity, the personnel committee will discuss and vote by secret ballot to recommend or not to recommend each of the candidates for tenure and/or promotion." Chairs have historically not voted during the Personnel Committee meeting and the revised PPS is now in direct conflict with the statement on page 38 of the Faculty Handbook which indicates that the "chair/directors preside at these meetings, but they do not vote, because they submit their own independent recommendation." In effect, the revised PPS grants the department chair/director two votes in the process, the first with the Personnel Committee and the second as the chair/director. This revision also creates an environment where the chair/director can steer the proceedings of the Personnel Committee. In addition to the content concerns of the PPS, there are concerns regarding the PPS review process because the Faculty Senate has no record of being involved in this modification. The Faculty Senate requests that PPS 8.10 be changed immediately and would appreciate input on both the content and review process for PPS 8.10.
Selective Admissions Structure:
With increasing enrollment, in combination with external accreditation standards, some areas have foundit necessary to limit the number of students declaring a major within their College. As a result, students areunable to pursue their career goals directly and, in effect, bide their time until they can gain admission into thedesired College. Alternatively, many of these students have opted to minor in their chosen field, increasing thenumber of minors to an extent that is unwieldy within the College. In the McCoy College of BusinessAdministration, for example, the number of minors has escalated dramatically. A major selective admissionsstructure could provide a means of distributing students throughout the University in a defined and manageablemanner. Could you discuss plans for confronting the increasing numbers of students within such majors, giventhe continued growth of the university?
Concealed Handguns:
Recently, there has been increased interest, from both faculty and students alike, in the issue of ConcealedHandgun License holders carrying concealed handguns on campus. The Faculty Senate is interested in youropinions regarding this issue.
Legislative Strategy:
With state elections completed, the Faculty Senate would appreciate an update regarding the upcomingLegislative cycle and any strategies, or modifications to existing strategies that may have occurred as aconsequence of the election results.
With respect to PPS 8.10 in item 1., Dr. Bourgeois responded that the phrase, "presiding in a voting capacity," was a typo that was not removed from a draft of the document after a motion in CAD failed. He has already taken steps to correct the document to reflect that chairs do not vote in personnel decisions since they already have the opportunity to record their judgment of a candidate. He also indicated that he would contact chairs of department to determine whether the typo had had any significant impact on the current tenure/promotion process. Also, brought up in the discussion was a question about item 38 of PPS 8.10 that states: "The chair/director is responsible for seeing that the comments accurately reflect the discussion about the candidate. " The statement appears to indicate that a chair can direct how recommendations from a personnel committee can be written up. Dr. Bourgeois will change the item to reflect that chairs cannot edit personnel committee recommendations. (not done yet)!
Regarding selective admissions in item 2., Provost Moore indicated that there is probably no way to avoid selective admissions. Noting that the McCoy College of Business Administration is concerned about the number of minors, he said that if the load of students is significant, a department can make admissions more stringent, particularly if a major needs a specific minor. He is willing to leave such restrictions to a particular college, but cautioned that such restrictions could impact both enrollment and retention. The Provost will talk to AVPEM Heintze and Dean Smart about the issue. He indicated that retention is supported more favorably by getting students into classes they are interested in rather than into classes the University says they must take.
Regarding concealed weapons in item 3., President Trauth distributed a statement from the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators (IACLEA) that states its Board of Directors belief that "concealed carry" initiatives do not make campuses safer and offer documentation to support that there is no credible evidence to suggest that the presence of students carrying concealed weapons would reduce violence on our college campuses. She indicated that there has been lots of dialogue on the subject, but believes that college campuses are the safest places for young people to be, and that the handout reflects her view on the subject.
Regarding funding for higher education in item 4., President Trauth indicated that there will be enormous pressures on the Legislature to deal with the economy and the aftermath of hurricane Ike. She said our legislative agenda is the same as it was in August, where she outlined plans for projected construction. She said our recent advances for merit raises and expansion of faculty lines are directly related to tuition deregulation and that studies indicate that not only colleges have benefited from the deregulation. State agencies may have been helped more since the deregulation freed up more funds for the agencies. She did say that one of our highest priorities for the future is to raise more money for student scholarships.
PAAG Follow-up:
Chair Feakes will forward a note to President Trauth thanking her for straightforward discussions at PAAG meetings during the year. The Senate will continue to review PPS 8.10 Tenure/Promotion for any other possible changes.
M & O Budgets:
A question was raised regarding the recent distribution of departmental budgets for the coming year. Have departmental M & O budgets remained the same, increased or decreased for the new cycle? The Senate will monitor the issue.
REP Recommendation:
The Senate approved a motion to accept the REP recommendation on faculty research enhancement grants. It will be forwarded to the Provost.
Worklife Council Recommendation:
The Senate, by majority endorsement, supports the recommendation for the University to enter a contract with UT Advantage to obtain their proposed worklife and employee assistance program. The cost would be $1.91 per month per employee, approximately $70000 per year.
SACS Issues:
The Senate will discuss issues with Assoc. Provost Bourgeois regarding the draft documents on academic freedom and faculty governance at its next meeting.
Minutes for 11/19/08 were approved as amended.

Acoustoelastic Interaction in Combustion Chambers: Modeling and Experiments
Huls, R.A. and Kampen, J.F. van and Hoogt, P.J.M. van der and Kok, J.B.W. and Boer, A. de (2008) Acoustoelastic Interaction in Combustion Chambers: Modeling and Experiments. Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power, 130 (5). 051505. ISSN 0742-4795

Abstract: | To decrease NOx emissions from combustion systems, lean premixed combustion is used. A disadvantage is the higher sensitivity to combustion instabilities, leading to increased sound pressure levels in the combustor and resulting in an increased excitation of the surrounding structure: the liner. This causes fatigue, which limits the lifetime of the combustor. This paper presents a joint experimental and numerical investigation of this acoustoelastic interaction problem for frequencies up to 1 kHz. To study this problem experimentally, a test setup has been built consisting of a single burner, 500 kW, 5 bar combustion system. The thin structure (liner) is contained in a thick pressure vessel with optical access for a traversing laser vibrometer system to measure the vibration levels of the liner. The acoustic excitation of the liner is measured using pressure sensors measuring the acoustic pressures inside the combustion chamber. For the numerical model, the finite element method with full coupling between structural vibration and acoustics is used. The flame is modeled as an acoustic volume source corresponding to a heat release rate that is frequency independent. The temperature distribution is taken from a Reynolds averaged Navier Stokes (RaNS) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation. Results show very good agreement between predicted and measured acoustic pressure levels. The predicted and measured vibration levels also match fairly well. |

You know, I've been a fan of the Oilers/Texans for all the heartbreaking years, and as manny 4-12 and 3-13 seasons I have never booed my team. Houston fans are really bad loosers, and you would think that we should know how to loose gracefully. The fans in Houston seem to do what the media does. When the team does something good, it's always the Texans this the Texans that, but let them loose and it's Carr or the O-line, or the special teams, or the water boy spiked the gatorade cause he is from Jacksonville. No thats the wrong answer. It was a team game, so it's a team loss. The only bright spot was DD. I have this saying I made up. It goes like this: If your riding in a horse and carriage and the wheel breaks are you gonna shoot the horse? Well to many Houston fans are ready to shoot the horse, just ask Warren Moon he was booed for several years, and given death threats, but let him hit his wife and all of a sudden Houston embraces him. Now I loved Moon, but isn't that a little backwards? Just ranting at rants I guess!

This shot was taken looking over to the Alps in Bavaria. I have a few more photos but feel a little dissapointed with the blue haze that is on the snap. Can this be taken of using photoshop 10. Glad of any advice.

I don't think there is too much you can do, maybe select the mountains and selectively darken or adjust curves to bring them out a little.
This is an example of aerial perspective, where the haze in the atmosphere causes progressive lightening and contrast loss the further away from the camera you get. Typically evident with mountains, but also with buildings and trees, the best way to help overcome this is to use a UV filter on the lens when taking, which cuts through the haze. It doesn't eliminate it, but it does reduce it.
It is also one of the visual cues we use to establish depth in the landscape, along with shadow/highlights, apparent size of objects and other methods.
Nominating Constructive Critique
Nick's just about beaten me to it.
I've had a go at this and it is possible to remove some of the haze and there is some detail to be found in those mountains but it would be quite a time consuming and tricky task to coax it out.
I've uploaded a mod. in which I selectively worked on the background in sections using layers and curves (mostly) levels (very occasionally) and then blurring, dodging and burning. I could, with more time, have used layer masks to improve the joins.
I only carried out a quick job; it took me about fifteen minutes and it's certainly not the best mod.I've ever put up but it does give you an idea of what you might be able to achieve by working on your much larger original.
Hope this helps.
Nominating Constructive Critique
Despite your problems of haze, this picture might be better dispayed as a 'letterboox crop'. The road seems to cause a split in viewability between foreground and background. In my opinion this would better removed either in total or in part, dependent upon how the crop affects the house to the lower left.
Attempts at modification will,I fear, not work satisfactorily, the only way is possibly by the addition of a UV fiter at the exposure stage.

Mets place Wright on 15-day DL
David Wright walked slowly back into the New York Mets clubhouse after most of his teammates were already gone and discussed a topic as foreign to him as any -- watching games instead of playing in them.
That is the new reality for the All-Star third baseman and team captain, at least for the next 3 to 5 weeks, because a hamstring injury sustained Friday night has relegated him to being a spectator.
"This is something relatively new to me. I've been fortunately pretty healthy throughout my career," Wright said in a soft tone after the Mets lost 4-3 in 12 innings to the Kansas City Royals on Saturday, hours after he went on the disabled list.
Wright was dealing with a sore hamstring for about a week, but decided to play through it at Washington and Miami. He believed it was more of a cramp than anything serious, trusting he knew the difference between being hurt and being injured.
"We take pride in going out there and playing through certain things. I certainly do that," he said. "I didn't think by going out there and playing that this would happen. I don't think anybody thought this would happen."
Wright underwent an MRI on Saturday morning and found out the news he was already somewhat expecting.
Although he tried to play at a curbed level to protect himself, the natural instinct took over when he sensed he would beat out an infield hit in the 10th inning Friday night.
"I don't think there is any way it could have been prevented, but here we are and you deal with it," said Wright, who has played in 105 of New York's 108 games this season.
These agile stars were sizzling while manning the Hot Corner. Who are the all-time best third basemen?New York would go on to win 4-2 in 11 innings on Friday without him, but couldn't make it two straight.
"There are certain guys you really almost can't afford to lose," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "He would fit that category for us.
"David Wright is a star and you're going to miss his presence in your lineup. Any team that loses their number one player, it's a huge hole to fill."
The Mets recalled outfielder Mike Baxter from Triple-A Las Vegas, and he arrived in New York on Saturday morning from Nashville, Tenn., where the minor league club is playing.
Justin Turner took Wright's place at third base on Saturday, and first baseman Josh Satin filled his No. 3 slot in the batting order. Satin had a two-run single to tie the game in the eighth inning Saturday.
Collins wouldn't commit to any plan beyond Saturday.
"We may have to make some lineup adjustments if it's going to be a long-term thing," he said. "If it's going to be two weeks, maybe we can just buy some time with some other guys."
One possibility Collins offered is moving Daniel Murphy from second base back to third, which might be his best position.
"Somebody has got to hit third on this team, too," Collins said. "That's another hole to fill. Somebody has got to do it. You can't sit there on a daily basis and say, `Gee, David is not here.' We know he's not here.
"We're not asking anybody to try to be David. They've got to be themselves, but somebody has got to hit in those lineups. We just can't leave it blank."
Baxter was sent down to Las Vegas, along with first baseman Ike Davis on June 9 when Satin was called up. Davis has also since returned to the Mets.
Baxter batted .212 with no home runs and four RBIs in 85 at-bats over 41 games with the Mets earlier this season.
"Anytime you get sent down you're always hoping you get a chance to come back. You don't take that for granted," Baxter said. "I really wish it wasn't on these terms. Watching David getting hurt last night, nobody really wants to see that. He is the heart of this team.
"Somebody is going to have to step up and we're going to have to try to pick up the slack for him. It's a big hole to fill. I don't know if one guy can do it. It's probably going to have to come from a couple of us. Hopefully we do."
The Mets were already dealing with multiple injuries in the bullpen on Friday before Wright got hurt.
New York closer Bobby Parnell is unavailable until at least Sunday because of a stiff neck. Left-handed setup man Josh Edgin went on the disabled list on Friday, and is expected to be sidelined 4 to 6 weeks because of a stress fracture in a rib.
Veteran reliever Pedro Feliciano was brought up on Friday from Las Vegas and he made his first major league appearance since 2010.
Carlos Torres, who was scheduled to be Saturday's starter, was returned to the bullpen on Friday, and he earned the win with a two-inning effort. He will stay as a reliever for now as the Mets are abandoning their six-man rotation until Jonathon Niese returns soon from a shoulder injury.
Jeremy Hefner was moved up from his Sunday start to pitch in Torres' place against the Royals on Saturday. Zack Wheeler, used as a pinch-runner on Friday, will take the mound Sunday.

Recent discoveries about the pathogenesis of ovarian cancer have suggested that it can no longer be thought of as a single entity, but that the histologically defined ovarian cancer subtypes are different diseases, with different precursor lesions and distinct biomarker expression profiles. Most serous carcinomas probably arise from the fallopian tube. Clear cell and endometrioid carcinomas are associated with endometriosis and likely originate from ectopic endometrium. The focus of large ovarian cancer screening trials has been detection of macroscopic ovarian abnormalities by ultrasonography and detection of serum biomarkers associated with the most common (serous) subtype of ovarian cancer. The only completed and phase three randomized controlled trial failed to achieve the objective of reducing ovarian cancer mortality and was not able to demonstrate a stage migration effect of the screening. Future screening strategies have to incorporate our growing understanding of each subtype of pelvic (ovarian or fallopian tube) cancer, its organ of origin, and disease-specific biomarkers. We review how our current understanding of pathogenesis should prompt a reexamination of data from ovarian cancer screening studies and discuss potential designs for future screening strategies.

Hey mate, thanks for the compliment :) I was beginning to wonder if anyone still cared about this game.
There was a fair bit of work involved in making those buildings, but my real challenges are isometric landscape tiles.. Some of the landscape tiles I'll be making will be an isometric rock-wall, iso fences and possibly an iso ledge (the ledge requires some heavy script work). They all have normal counter-parts, I'm just trying to make the maps fit the movement system a little better. I really hate only using right-angles, it seems way too man-made..
The game progress is ready to continue (I'd reached a point where I needed to consult a few people and decide how best to go about making the next part of the game, and how people would react to the way gameplay unfolds) because it's nearly time to start working on the 3rd episode.
To do still in the 2nd episode:
*Rockets blast off & balloon scene
*Ash encounters Caterpie
Here is a little update on the spearow-chase scene, you'll notice the spearows in the bottom left corner of the screen.
Please tell me whether you think it's better this way or having the OW's swoop.

Second day canned
Thursday July 16th 2009, Author: Sophie Luther, Location: United Kingdom
For the second time at the 2009 Volvo Youth Sailing ISAF World Championship competitors were left frustrated as all racing was cancelled with the breeze failing to materialise in Buzios today.
After 30 knot gusts forced the Race Committee to call off all of Sunday's scheduled races, today it was a total absence of the wind which was the problem. After beautiful weather during the lay day, today started grey, wet and still and whilst the rain soon stopped, the skies never cleared and the breeze never got going. Around midday the forecasters were predicting some improvement in the conditions so all seven fleets were sent out, but the wind never got much above 3 knots and the Race Committee called it a day around 16:00. Everyone in Buzios will be keeping their fingers tightly crossed that tomorrow's forecast of brighter skies and northerly winds of 12-14 knots materialises.
Brazilian windsurfer Jorge Renato do Amaral Silva is a Buzios local and has been sailing here for years. Still, he's been as surprised as anyone as to the weather conditions this week, "It's not normal. Really windy, then light winds, then no wind today. Normally when it's really windy on one day, then the wind drops a bit, but not really windy, no wind."
Asked about dealing with a frustrating day like today he says you can't let the conditions become a distraction. "You've just got to take the rest and try and concentrate," he says. "It's important to keep your mind focussed on the other races. You can't let days like today upset you and mess up your approach to the other races."
One Change Amongst The Leaders
Even without any racing there has been one change at the top of the leaderboard after the British team of Philip Sparks and Ben Gratton were disqualified from race four of the Boy's 420 event. The Chilean team protested the Brits for not giving room at the mark and the Jury ruled in favour of the former, resulting in a DSQ score of 32 points for Sparks and Gratton, who consequently drop from first to seventh. This promotes the French team of Bernard Gabriel Skoczek and Thibaut Soler into first place overall, Italy's Davide Vignone and Matteo Ramian into second and the Chileans Benjamín Grez and Carlos Vergara up into third.
In spite of the lack of racing, it's still set to be a memorable day for near 300 competitors gathered here from 59 nations. At tonight's post-'race' debriefing, ISAF Coach Santi Lange (ARG) will be joined by none other than Torben Grael (BRA), five-time Olympic medallist and winning skipper of the recent edition of the Volvo Ocean Race (amongst countless other sailing achievements). The two South American sailing greats will be reviewing some of their highlights from the recent Volvo Ocean Race plus answering questions on their experiences across the VOR, Olympic Games, America's Cups and more. The debrief will be preceded by a short presentation on the 2010 Volvo Youth Sailing ISAF World Championship which will take place Istanbul, Turkey.
Looking Ahead
With just two days of competition remaining, the overall standings are still very evenly balanced, especially with the discard due to kick in after the completion of race five of the series. Amongst the many sailors looking forward to excluding a bad score is Mayumi Roller of the US Virgin Islands, who started her series with two 25s on the opening day but bounced back strongly with a race win and a seventh on Monday.
She was particularly frustrated with today's cancellations. "I really wanted to race because I really like light winds," she explained. Roller is one of 23 competitors here in Buzios thanks to funding from ISAF's Athlete Participation Programme (APP), following in the footsteps of her brother who took part at the 2007 Youth Worlds in Canada. The APP provides sailors with funding support to help them with travel and entry costs to attend the championship, as well as providing coaching at the event with the ISAF Coach, who this year is Santi Lange. "It's a really good programme," she says. "I was also on it last year in Denmark. Santi is a really great guy, He's really knowledgeable about everything and he's really easy to talk to. It's been a great experience. And the good thing with the different conditions is I've really learnt a lot so far."
Roller says the competition to date has really given her a lot of confidence. "Now that I know I'm really capable of finishing in the top 10 I really hope I can finish in the top 10 and hopefully the top five. I don't know if it's possible to medal, but that would be amazing. Before I came here I knew this was my last time [at the Youth Words] and I really had to give it my all and sail my best."
Thailand's Top
One of the surprise performers of the championship so far has been Thailand's Keerati Bualong, who lies in second place overall in the highly-competitive 53-boat Boy's Laser Radial fleet. Bualong, still only 17 and aptly nicknamed 'Top', is competing at the Youth Worlds for the first time, although he's an experienced campaigner in the Asian sailing scene having won numerous medals at Optimist, Byte and Laser 4.7 events. In 2007 he won the Byte World Championship title and came in sixth at last year's Laser 4.7 Worlds in Croatia. "I'm just trying to sail well and do the best I can. If I do the best I can do then maybe I can win a medal," he says.
This is the fourth edition of the Youth Worlds at which Thailand has competed (the first was in 1997) and the nation has yet to win a medal. However, Thai Team Leader Veerasit Puangnak and coach Gareth Owen are not at all surprised by the success of their star pupil. "We've got an ambitious programme to develop sailing in Thailand," says Owen. "We've got a very good group of youngsters who are developing and now we're trying to expose them to world-class competition. We've brought Top here as our top sailor to this regatta and he's our benchmark to see how we're doing in our whole programme."
Top and the rest of the young sailing stars here in Buzios now have two days of competition remaining. A total of four scheduled races remain over the course of which the 2009 Volvo Youth Sailing ISAF World Champions will be decided.
Tomorrow, three races are scheduled for all events, with the first started moved forward to 11:30 local time (14:30). One race is scheduled for the final race of the championship on Friday.

by Jeffrey Hodges B.Sc. M.Sc(Hons) Introduction
If you're reading this, you've probably already tasted some success, and are probably among the top 10% or 20% in your chosen sport. However, how can you build upon the successes you've had to really make a significant mark in your sport – to truly stand out from the crowd and leave a legacy as a champion. There have been many talented sportspeople with huge potential – and yet they have not lived up to that potential over time. Your psychology and your thinking strategies make the difference between someone who just has 'potential', and the person who actually grabs that potential with both hands and makes full use of it in their lives. So – are you going to become more than just a gifted athlete with lots of potential? I challenge you to actually become outstanding – to become someone who makes a significant contribution to their sport, and to our society. So, before reading any further, take a few moments to think, now, about what significant achievement you'd like to attain.... then I will take you through a process for how you can actually make it happen. I've been fortunate to assist with two Olympic Gold medalists, hundreds of national champions and thousands of outstanding athletes and coaches over the past 25 years, and what has absolutely fascinated me is – how does someone take an idea, a wish to say win an Olympic gold medal or a national championship.... and actually make it happen? What are the keys which allow someone to take a dream and turn it into reality? I suggest there are 12 important principles, or keys, – and I use the word SIGNIFICANCE as an acronym to explain these. Let's go through them – and as we do, I encourage you to apply each principle to your own dream of significance. S - State Positively and Precisely What You Want It's important to know exactly what you want and to focus on what you want, rather than what you DON'T want. Our attention is like a missile guidance system – whatever you focus on, you will move towards. Making your desire precise helps use your unconscious resources to help with the goal, rather than just your conscious will power. I - Important Reasons Reasons generally come before actions – rarely does anyone do anything without a 'reason'. So find powerful reasons to achieve what you know exactly what you want want.... rather than excuses NOT to do it! Too often we get caught up in the inevitable challenges and difficulties in our way. However the way to overcome these is to have compelling enough reasons. Write down now half a dozen powerful reasons WHY you want to achieve your goal, and what will it cost you if you DIDN'T achieve it? G - Turn into Goals Goals are dreams with a deadline..... and an action plan. WHEN do you want to achieve this by? It's been shown that most people OVERestimate what they can do in 6 months or a year, but UNDER-estimate what they can do in 5 or 10 or 20 years. What is the FIRST STEP? Identify some small thing you can do tonight that will immediately start you on the journey.... And do it! N - Non-Comparative with Others Compare how you are today with how you were yesterday, and how you want to be tomorrow. Your competitors are simply yardsticks by which you chart your OWN progress from the past.... to the present.... to the future. I - Intrinsic Motivation Do it FOR YOURSELF. Because this is what is in your heart – your heart driven, passion driven desire.... because you LOVE it. F - Future Self Reference Point We have a fascination with, and an attachment to, our personal history that is totally unwarranted, and in my opinion, mostly detrimental and limiting to achieving our highest potential. You are NOT just a consequence of the past, but a pre-sequence of a future self who wants to come into being. Use this Future You as a new 'reference point' for decisions/beliefs about yourself, and allow this future self to become your own 'inner coach' and mentor. Most people think they are locked into being a consequence of their past – and it is a seductive belief and can seem very real.... but this is just a default setting on your personal computer. You CAN engage your INTENTION by establishing a relationship with your desired future self – then the past becomes irrelevant, and the future draws you towards itself. I - Imagine it Happening Engage the most powerful force in the Universe – your imagination – to ENVISAGE it happening. Just think, if you took just 30 seconds first thing in the morning and 30 seconds last thing at night, and used this time to picture what you wanted.... to kindle the flame of your creative power to INTEND the result you want. If you did that every day for the next six months, do you think that would have an impact? You better believe it will!! C - Congruent with Your Core Values There is power in connecting the surface goal you are wanting with the driving core value underneath. We rarely identify the real goal we are actually chasing. People don't want money, or relationships, or possessions.... they want to experience the CORE VALUES those things represent: e.g. security; love; intimacy; freedom; independence; happiness; etc. You can identify your underlying values by using an "outcome chain": Ask yourself "What will this give me that is even MORE important?" A - Achievable What you want needs to be achievable – but how do you know? Only YOU can know. As a general rule, if you can't SEE yourself doing it / achieving it, you probably won't. If you can't 'see' it happening, break the goal down to smaller chunks until you can. N - Never Give Up Mindset Develop a mindset of PERSISTENCE. Persistence is more powerful than skill or intelligence or good looks. Persistence can get you just about anything you want. How do you develop persistence? Persistence is a mental process which focuses on solutions. Ask yourself : "How CAN I do such and such, or achieve this?", and expect an answer. Your brain is designed as an answer-seeking mechanism, use it wisely. Most people get stuck because they ask the wrong questions. C - Commit How do you commit? Establish a routine – something small – and do it every day. E - Ecology Check The main reason people don't achieve a specific goal or dream is resistance or sabotage from within themselves. Check for objections WITHIN yourself and WITHOUT from others close and/or important to you or the goal. Are there any 'down' sides? Are you willing to pay the price? Is it worth it? If objections, find a way to either modify the goal, or build a solution to the objection into the process.

The scent of her favorite Ballon Flower will lead him back to her.
In addition to recurring dreams, Cheng Tian has another unique ability. He has a doggy nose. His sense of smell is so sharp that it sometimes goes into overdrive. And, it always happens whenever Xiang Zi is around.
Xiang Zi is a beautiful, career-oriented woman and a hardcore alcoholic as well. She drinks when she is happy. She drinks when she is depressed. But despite her fierce dedication to alcohol, she has a younger guy falling head over heels for her. Cheng Tian is that unrelenting, naive idiot whose madly in love with Xiang Zi. He will do anything just to make her happy.

For press releases issued after to Jan. 20, 2012, see http://newsdesk.gmu.edu/category/press-releases/
Feb. 22, 2011
FAIRFAX, Va.—A new paper by George Mason University researchers shows that 'Climategate'—the unauthorized release in late 2009 of stolen e-mails between climate scientists in the U.S. and United Kingdom—undermined belief in global warming and possibly also trust in climate scientists among TV meteorologists in the United States, at least temporarily.
In the largest and most representative survey of television weathercasters to date, George Mason University's Center for Climate Change Communication and Center for Social Science Research asked these meteorologists early in 2010, when news stories about the climate e-mails were breaking, several questions about their awareness of the issue, attention to the story and impact of the story on their beliefs about climate change. A large majority (82 percent) of the respondents indicated they had heard of Climategate, and nearly all followed the story at least "a little."
Among the respondents who indicated that they had followed the story, 42 percent indicated the story made them somewhat or much more skeptical that global warming is occurring. These results stand in stark contrast to the findings of several independent investigations of the emails, conducted later, that concluded no scientific misconduct had occurred and nothing in the emails should cause doubts about the fact which show that global warming is occurring.
The results, which were published in the journal Bulletin of the American Meteorology Society, also showed that the doubts were most pronounced among politically conservative weathercasters and those who either do not believe in global warming or do not yet know. The study showed that age was not a factor nor was professional credentials, but men—independent of political ideology and belief in global warming—were more likely than their female counterparts to say that Climategate made them doubt that global warming was happening.
"Our study shows that TV weathercasters – like most people – are motivated consumers of information in that their beliefs influence what information they choose to see, how they evaluate information, and the conclusions they draw from it," says Ed Maibach, one of the researchers. "Although subsequent investigations showed that the climate scientists had done nothing wrong, the allegation of wrongdoing undermined many weathercasters' confidence in the conclusions of climate science, at least temporarily."
The poll of weathercasters was conducted as part of a larger study funded by the National Science Foundation on American television meteorologists. Maibach and others are now working with a team of TV meteorologists to test what audience members learn when weathercasters make efforts to educate their viewers about the relationship between the changing global climate and local weather conditions.
Ultimately, the team hopes to answer key research questions about how to help television meteorologists nationwide become an effective source of informal science education about climate change.
"Most members of the public consider television weather reporters to be a trusted source of information about global warming—only scientists are viewed as more trustworthy," says Maibach. "Our research here is based on the premise that weathercasters, if given the opportunity and resources, can become an important source of climate change education for a broad cross section of Americans."

The Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival
Summer 2009 — Week 9
Our radio broadcast this week features a Telemann Trumpet Concerto, the lesser known of Dohnanyi's two piano quintets, his opus 26 in e-flat minor, and "Mládí," a buoyant, late work for winds by Czech composer Leos Janáček.
Scroll down to find excerpts from Kerry Frumkin and Marc Neikrug's conversation about this week's program, comments from some of the musicians, and a few other things I found along the way.
Thanks for stopping by...
Mládí (Youth)
Tara Helen O'Connor, flute and piccolo; Liang Wang, oboe; Michael Rusinek, clarinet; Kyle Knox, bass clarinet; Nancy Goeres, bassoon; Julie Landsman, horn
One can hear a blend of romanticism and modernity in Janáček's. music. Similar to Robert Schumann's keyboard suite "Kinderzeinen," Janáček's Mládí, or "Youth," captures an adult's nostalgia looking back at one's younger days. Janáček wrote it in 1925 when he was 70 years of age.
Janáček composed "Mládí" when he was 70, and similar to Robert Schumann's "Scenes from Childhood," the work conveys the nostalgia of an adult looking back at youth. Here is a sample from a Phil Ramone classical music animation project for children based on the music from Schumann's "Kinderzeinen." Marc Neikrug is the pianist and the selection is Von fremden Landern und Menschen, "About strange Lands and people..."
Trumpet Concerto in D Major
David Washburn, trumpet; Allen Vogel and Robert Ingliss, oboes; L.P. How and Kathleen Brauer, violins; Yu Jin, viola; Mark Brandfonbrenner, cello; Marji Danilow, bass; Kathleen McIntosh, harpsichord
Did you know?
Telemann liked the sound of the trumpet, and he wrote numerous concertos for that instrument, including a number of concertos for multiple trumpets. When Telemann wrote these concertos in the eightieth century, the valved trumpet had not yet been invented and these concerti were composed for an instrument Telemann knew as the clarino, a small valveless trumpet with a piercing and very clear sound. It was extremely difficult instrument to play, since the player had to produce the different pitches by varying lip pressure. The invention of the modern trumpet has solved many of these problems, but Telemann's brilliant writing for the trumpet in his concertos, often high in the instrument's range, remains difficult even on today's instruments. A large number of Telemann's trumpet concertos are in D Major, a key that was comfortable on the instrument of his day.
Piano Quintet No. 2 in E-Flat Minor, Op. 26
Daniel Phillips and Benny Kim, violins; Steven Tenenbom, viola; Eric Kim, cello; Jon Nakamatsu, piano
Marc and Kerry discuss what is the lesser known of Dohnányi's two string quintets.

I had achilles tendonitis (or 'sis'). Mornings had extremely stiff ankles too, limping for about 15 minutes before blood flowed to my ankle muscles and tendons. I had thought this was attributable to old age as many friends complain of stiff ankles in the morning.
Went to the physio after 2 months of improvement without running (but still lingering pain in the achilles and residual stiffness).
Turns out my calfs were extremely stiff and causing stress to my achilles and other foot tendons. After a painful calf massage, my tendonisis and morning stiffness disappeared within 24 hours. I now regularly massage my calf muscles and have no more ankle stiffness or signs of weakness in the achilles.

Very cute smiling face for this small lady dressed as the country people of the 17th century in a blue velvet long dress. Seating on a high back wood chair at her workbench she is waving lace ribbon. Her body seems to be made of soft rubber and her head is celluloid. She has blue sleeping eyes. The tip of one rail of the chair is broken and she could use a good cleaning which is reflected in the price. Measuring 6 1/2" high, she is in very condition and will be the nice addition to any doll collection.

Our Purpose and Philosophy
The purpose of Lancaster Baptist School is to educate and to train the whole student: spiritually, intellectually, physically, and socially. Because the Lord requires a vessel unto honor, guidelines for personal habits, definite dress codes, and proper leisure-time activities are provided. The principle of self-discipline is the basis of our disciplinary structure. We believe the student must honor the rights of others and respect the individual's freedom. Not only must a young person have his appearance and actions reflect the Lord Jesus, but he must also have wisdom, knowledge, and understanding to serve the Lord in the plan God has for his life. Therefore, the Bible is not substituted for any academic subject, but it is integrated into the total educational program. The Bible is taught so that the student will develop sound values that will govern every step of his life.
Lancaster Baptist School desires to send out into the world young people who will be lights in this night of spiritual darkness (Matthew 5:14-16; Ephesians 6:12). The chief objective of our school is to prepare students for the possibility of full-time Christian service. According to Matthew 9:37, "…The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few. . ." Our school strives to prepare students to be thrust into the harvest field (John 4:35) and to accomplish much to the glory of the Lord. "To the praise of the glory of his grace…" (Ephesians 1:6).
The mission of Lancaster Baptist School is to assist parents in educating and equipping their students to develop a heart for God, to cultivate a sound biblical worldview, and to prepare students to positively impact their families, churches, communities, and country for Jesus Christ.
Lancaster Baptist School seeks to accomplish its mission by striving to achieve the following five learning outcomes:
- Establishing Christ-like Character Do right
- Achieving Comprehensive Development Be Like Jesus
- Growing Educationally Get Smart
- Leading through Servanthood Serve Others
- Elevating Patriotism Love America
Students of Lancaster Baptist School consistently score above the national average on annual standard tests. The high school's college preparatory curriculum enables graduates to be well prepared for college and adult life.
Our Philosophy
Our school is a ministry of Lancaster Baptist Church designed to help families train their children for Christian service. Our approach is a complementary one. God has established the family as the principal entity to train children, with the church serving as a second platform of spiritual training and leadership development for the family. The Christian school provides a third source of godly influence. This arrangement is truly successful only if the direction being set by all three is in agreement.
For this reason, it is vital that parents agree with the doctrine and philosophy of Lancaster Baptist Church, which are held wholly by Lancaster Baptist School, as well. A child, placed in an environment in which the family follows a direction contrary to that of the church and the school, is a child given to much confusion and strife within his own thoughts and actions. It should be understood that our primary goal is to produce and develop servant leaders for Christ. Students are led to develop the "mind of Christ" (Philippians 2:5) in their lives. A key reason for the existence of Christian education is to establish an environment that will develop a sound biblical worldview. The Lancaster Baptist School has developed a program to minister to the complete student. This is accomplished through four areas of emphasis:
The first and strongest emphasis is the spiritual growth of the child and family. The clear teaching of the Bible is the best foundation for learning. The Bible is not only taught as a class, but also permeates every other subject. We endeavor to introduce each child to Christ and to direct children and families to thoroughly know and live the Bible.
The second emphasis is on academics. The school uses a traditional, time-tested, rigorous Christian curriculum. We provide a superior academic climate and promote academic excellence to best prepare students to fulfill God's will for their lives.
The third and fourth areas of emphasis are proper social and physical development. The school sponsors fine arts competitions, musicals, and seasonal programs teaching our students to exalt Christ with their God-given talents, abilities, and skills. Our physical education and athletic programs are continually expanding to meet the needs of our students.

Sant Ambroeus
Everyone gets a little restless around the age of 19, and Sant Ambroeus—the beloved Upper East Side café, gelateria, paninoteca, wine bar, patisserie and restaurant—was no exception. It left its longtime Madison Avenue home in 2001, plopped down a few years later in the West Village, and now, it's back in its original location. Executive chef Mario Danieli also returned to prepare many of the classic Northern Italian dishes fans have grown to love, like a tender breaded veal piccata, a sprightly shaved-fennel and crab salad, and spaghetti topped with hearty bolognese.

A paról is an ornamental, star-shaped Christmas lantern from the Philippines.[1] It is traditionally made out of bamboo and paper and comes in various sizes and shapes, but generally the basic star pattern remains dominant.[2][3][4]
The design of the paról evokes the Star of Bethlehem that guided the Three Kings to the manger. It also symbolizes the victory of light over darkness and the Filipinos' hope and goodwill during the Christmas season.[5]
The word paról is derived from the Spanish word farol, meaning "lantern". Another, less-known name for this and lanterns in general is paritaán.
Patterns of the paról evolved from the five-pointed paper star lantern originally crafted in 1908 by an artisan named Francísco Estanislao. His creation was made of bamboo strips covered with papél de japón (Japanese paper), illuminated by a candle or kalburo (carbide). This kind of lantern was used by barrio folk to light their paths during the ritual yuletide dawn Masses called Misa de Gallo, as electricity was yet unavailable at the time in many rural areas.[6]
Construction and design[edit]
Traditionally, paróls have a star-shaped framework made of bamboo sticks which are then covered by coloured pieces of either Japanese paper or crêpe paper.[1] The most common form is a five-pointed star with two decorative "tails".
Nowadays, the materials range from plastic, shells, glass, beads, foil, feathers, hemp, leaves, seeds, soft drink straws, wood and even metal.[7] They usually come in various sizes, from small, tinsel and foil lanterns to gigantic ones that are electrically lit at night, and may have one, three or more tails aside from the ubiquitous two. Some have a surrounding "halo," and the number of points on the star usually ranges from four to around ten (however, higher numbers exist). As for stellate patterns, more complex shapes that are seen are the rose, the bromeliad, the snowflake and the sea urchin.
Other designs aside from the common stellate pattern include that of angels, huge flowers, Santa Claus's face, reindeer, happy faces, and Christmas trees, among other Western holiday symbols.[8]
Recently, innovations from Pampanga include production of lanterns with electronic lights that can be programmed to produce a dancing effect, as is the use of LED rope lights, known as "flexilight" lanterns.[9]
The original stellate design of the paról remains common in the Philippines and considered distinct for Filipinos.[8] The traditional craft of lantern-making is usually taught to schoolchildren around Christmastime, but actual manufacture is now primarily done in the barrios and the poblacions and is rarely done in urban areas. A notable exception is Parañaque, a city in Metro Manila, which has the largest paról-making industry in the Philippines, and San Fernando, Pampanga, where a lot of paróls also originate.[10]
In the Philippines[edit]
In the Philippines, the paról has become an iconic symbol of the Filipino Christmas and is as important to Filipinos as the Christmas Tree is to Western cultures. Its annual debut on houses and streets is usually in September along with other Christmas symbols, signalling the coming of the season.[2] The paról also retains its original association with the Simbang Gabi ritual, a series of dawn masses that lasts for nine days.[5] These lanterns remain until January, traditionally removed after Epiphany, to honour the Three Kings and their visit to the infant Jesus.[11]
Many communities, such as villages, schools, and groups hold competitions to see who can make the best paról.[1] One such event is the annual Giant Lantern Festival in Pampanga, which attracts various craftsmen from across the archipelago. The competition revolves around the illumination and performances of giant paról that can reach up to 40 feet (12 m) in breadth. These giant lanterns are programmed to "dance" to the accompaniment of a brass band.[12]
Although the use of the paról as a Christmas decoration is chiefly done in the Philippines, other countries where the Filipino diaspora have settled have also adapted its use. In Austria, the lanterns are a big attraction in the annual Wiener Christkindlmarkt (Vienna Christmas Market). A ceremonial lighting of 60 paról in a 'Philippine Tree' was done at the Wiener Rathausplatz. The project was a collaboration between the city's government and the Philippine Embassy in Vienna, which introduced the lanterns in 2006.[13]
In San Francisco, California, Filipino Americans celebrated the 7th Annual Paról Festival in December of 2006[14] and Filipino-Americans in other places bring them to churches during the Misa de Gallo. Filipinos in Canada hang paróls in their party halls during Christmas parties to reminisce their traditional usage of the craft.[3]

Subject | st: windows xp, large dataset and memory problem |
Date | Thu, 13 Oct 2005 11:24:50 +0200 |
Hello I use stata 9.1 and I have a dataset of 1G. When I set memory on 1G I get the message op. sys. refuses to provide memory. Than I wanted to download the hotfix, but I then got the message "Setup cannot update your windows XP files because the language installed on your system is different from the update language." According to my colleague I have a 32-bit computer. Does anyone know the answer for my problem???
