LeTourneau University desires to resolve student concerns and complaints in an expeditious, fair, and amicable manner. In the instance that a concern exists, this page outlines the processes any student can follow. The full policy can be found in the traditional Student Handbook and the University Academic Catalog (links are to the right).
It is the wish of the University to provide an education and services of high quality to its students and to provide equity and harmony in the application of university policies and procedures. When a student has a concern, resolution should be sought through informal communication with the appropriate instructor, school dean, staff member, or administrative officer who may be able to help rectify or clarify the situation before a formal written complaint is initiated. Concerns expressed by students should be addressed by the person receiving the concern, to the best of their ability, assisted by the appropriate office on campus who handles the issue of concern and/or the supervisor of the faculty or staff member hearing the concern. Informal student concerns include items expressed verbally or in an electronic format such as email, texting, etc.
If the student's concern is not resolved at the informal level, then the student has the right to submit a formal written complaint by following the procedures outlined below.
This Student Complaint Policy does not supersede specific policies involving special cases such as grade appeals, sexual harassment, appeal and due process within discipline, etc. Those special cases have specific policies and procedures that are outlined separately. For all other complaints, students should use the formal written complaint process outlined below:
Upon receiving the response to the formal written complaint, the student has the right of appeal to successive levels of administrators within the area. In each case, the student will receive an acknowledgment of the complaint within five working days and a deliberation response within 10 working days from the date of the acknowledgment letter. The student's appeal to the next level must be received within 10 working days, or the matter will be considered fully resolved.
If the student wishes to appeal the cabinet level officer's ruling, the appeal will then go to the Provost and Executive Vice President. The only appeal beyond the Provost and Executive Vice President is to the President of the University.
The decision of the President will be final.
Students should exhaust the avenues of communicating informal student concerns and Formal Written Student Complaints before filing a complaint with the appropriate regulatory agency, such as accrediting bodies and/or appropriate state government agencies. If a complaint is not satisfactorily resolved internally, the student may then file a complaint with the external agency. Generally, the accrediting bodies and state agencies require that students exhaust internal complaint processes before considering a complaint.
LeTourneau University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to award associate, baccalaureate, and masters degrees. Contact the Commission on Colleges at 1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, Georgia 30033-4097, telephone 404-679-4500, at http://www.sacscoc.org for questions about the accreditation of LeTourneau University. The Commission is to be contacted with a complaint only if there is evidence that appears to support the institution's significant non-compliance with a requirement or standard, according to the form and procedure on the complaints website.
Students who would like to make a complaint to the appropriate agency for the state of Texas should contact the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board's (THECB) complaint process.
Students enrolled in online programs who live outside of Texas should contact the appropriate state agency for handling complaints in the student's state. A listing of states that LeTourneau serves and the corresponding state agency contact information for states outside of Texas can be found here.
Students who think that LeTourneau University is in violation of federal laws concerning discrimination against a person with a disability or a member of a protected class should contact the Department of Education Office for Civil Rights, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20202-1100 or www.ed.gov/ocr.

Decision Lens announced it was selected by U.S. Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) to prioritize funding for its research and development and IT portfolios.
Decision Lens provides a structured prioritization process to enable its key decision makers to reach calculated decisions for each program. In addition to prioritizing initiatives across these complex portfolios the FRA plans to use Decision Lens to allocate resources optimally across competing projects.
"The U.S. Federal Railroad Administration is quickly growing to accommodate the ever-increasing needs and burdens being placed on our nation's railways and ultimately required Decision Lens to help improve efficiencies and budget dollars for its R and D and IT portfolios," said John Kealey, CEO of Decision Lens. "Government transportation organizations like the Federal Railroad Administration deal with the same complexities other large organizations grapple with; making calculated decisions involving budgets. When you combine multiple decision makers and ask them to come to agreement involving millions, if not billions of dollars, it can be a very cumbersome process without Decision Lens."

Social networking for romance readers
Can men get into Romantic fiction?
My name is Justin, I am an administrator on Festival of Romance online and Mr Kate Allan. I have read one conventional romantic novel in my life if you do not count Pride and Prejudice, the Lady Soldier by my wife and Michelle Styles.
I am a history teacher by trade and can day dream and empathise with soldiers of the First World War or medieval people or practically any period of history. I am also not the conventional man in that I am not at all interested in watching sport. These questions occur to me when considering why I and most men are not interested In romantic fiction:
Is romance a female genre that it is impossible for most men to get into? Is it too female with its female heroes excluding male interest? Are men just hard wired differently to women with a view of romance that is much more situational and less relationship orientated and so do not enjoy fantasising about new or other relationships unless they are unhappy with their partner? Or am I kidding myself and do men actually fantasise about relationships via new men orientated books such as those written by Nick Hornby?
Am I simply not looking at the genre properly, letting preconceptions and stereotypes get in my way or is it simply a female orientated genre? My guess is the latter and that even if romance novels were written from a male point of view for males (not by a female author for a female audience e.g. Mr Darcy's Diary) it still wouldn't work?

Rhoda, I just looked up Matt Dunn and I agree with you. The book I looked at from Matt Dunn I saw has something akin to the film 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall'. It is as I have said previously in this post romantic plot lines from a male perspective are normally about a man picking themselves up, dusting themselves down and along the way finding a woman who helps/leads them back to happiness (also runs through High Fidelity etc). Hugh Grant specialises in this.
I've only just stumbled on this topic. It's an interesting one. Especially as Romance is such a wide ranging genre.
I wonder who Matt Dunn's readers are? His books are very blokey. Definitely romance. Lad Lit, if you like.
I'm coming back to this, Justin, because I think it's an interesting (if not intriguing) topic! I still think millions of women are little different than men in choice of reading material, yet romance remains on the whole the domain of women.
How we as writers define romance is interesting in itself, and even more interesting is how editors at publishing houses define what is and should be romance according to the rules. What rules? Who invented the pseudo rules of romance as we now understand them to be? It's all very well for eds to say, yes, but we've been selecting romance stories for donkey's years and we know what sells! The latter "sell" being the optimum word, which fits snugly with idealistic belief in the status quo. That's not to say the main romance publishers haven't moved with the times, as in open bedroom doors and steamy sex. After all, at one time, sex in a 1950's romance novel was kind of taboo and a ubiquitous fading out scene moved a reader on to next chapter, to the holding hands scene where magic of dreamy eye contact and shameful thoughts of what had occurred (though not in detail) and presented as the after glow. Yeah right, and for years women were left wondering if the hero was really good in in bed, and could he rock a woman's world or was he just a wam-bam-thank-you-ma'am kind of feller. These books were and and most still are totally unsuited to a male audience, because they're based on female fantasies of the ideal mate, And the truth being these stories have changed very little in basic content, of boy meets girl, falls in love, element of inner conflict Vs outer conflict, the main themes being silly misunderstandings easily resolved with sensible adult behaviour, secret love child and can't possibly tell the father because ... or some other dreamed up barrier to keep them apart long enough to fill the required page count. Sound familiar?
Here's the crux, though. If the main romance publishers are providing what they believe all readers of romance are seeking from a romance novel, then why are there so many women writing romances way off the mark for requisite guidelines (pseudo rules) laid down by these same publishers. Fabulous reads I might add. And why are there women like me, millions of us, seeking something more than just a romance from a romance novel? I think it's because women have moved ahead of the publishers in not wanting just a romance with chocolates, sex, flowers and angst of lovers' in turmoil over love alone. Many of the male POVs are laughable. What male in real life broods for hours or plots and plans a counter move to secure his heart's desire with exception of a strong love bond that already exists? Men are much more impulsive than that, or they shrug their shoulders and think bugger, better luck next time.
I, like a lot more women forever seek that elusive ingredient of real taste much like men, and cannot get my head around the convoluted romantic fantasies one sees on book store shelves, and I hate book covers depicting half stripped male and silk-clad females. Come on publishers, get real and put a real man on the cover: a uniform, suit, the whole business. He's my interest, he's the one I'm going to strip with my eyes at first glance. I'm far more likely to pick up a book about a hero like Hornblower, or a brazen pirate, even a beautifully dressed female with a hint of something dangerous or intriguing within the image than I'm ever going to select a couple in posed clinch and bedroom scene! Don't get me wrong, romance stories are no less escapism from the world at large in the same way men disappear into dark elements of crime (me too), or that of a Sci-Fi universe, but do all women have to be subjected to closeted cosy romances defined by pseudo rules of engagement per sub-genre of romance? No! Hence we're buying more and more self-published novels readily available on Kindle. And yes, some
Hmmm, I think it would make sense to take a poll with Male readers to find out why they read certain genres. I don't think we'll ever see a great male audience with Romantic Fiction or Historical Romance, this is clear.
Tony Parsons is an author who springs to mind in terms of a males POV with modern relationships - and I think his humour is appealing to a lot of male readers.
My guess is that you probably know why you're not interested in Romantic Fiction, maybe it's all of the above questions? I couldn't answer it for you but I'd guess, its an individual preference shared by A LOT of blokes. ;-) Most male readers I know seem to lean towards crime fiction, thrillers and biographies of the self-made millionaires. I'm not sure what that means but each to their own, I say.
Tudors, aye, fun indeed. But what I was getting at was the fact that it's light pornography disguised as historical drama, hence men don't fall asleep while it's on the screen.
Darn it, I'll give sway to "barrack room language" as more direct: great w*nk fodder! So are steamy romances for women, and men often do well in bed after a hot romance hits the bedside table. ;)
A bit harsh on the Tudors, great fun, who cares about historical accuracy and Henry VIII looking in his twenties! You have to have a sense of fun (kind of a horrible histories approach for grown ups).
I think we agree again. It is interesting that each example you cite has something added beyond what might be expected for some conventional romances to hook men in which makes my point entirely. A friend of Kate's came round today for Sunday lunch and the subject raised here came up (as I raised it) and he agreed that romance can be read by men but usually not conventional romance, it needs to be an element in another story. At university he had to read some Mills and Boon novels (I guess for a literature course) which lo and behold was brought up by his best man at his wedding as being an unusual thing that he had done at University,
I rest my case!

OXFORD, Ohio -- Two Buffalo pitchers held Miami to only five hits, all singles, while the Bulls' offense totalled 13 hits in 12-0 victory over the RedHawks Sunday afternoon at McKie Field. The win gave Buffalo its eighth straight series win in 2013 after the teams split the first two games yesterday.
After each team had one baserunner in the first two innings, the Bulls got all the runs they would need in the third. The first two batters singled to start the rally, then, after an out, a blast over the right field fence made the score 3-0.
Buffalo (29-20, 17-6) added two runs in the fifth for a 5-0 lead, then broke the game open late. It added a run in the seventh, four in the eighth and two more in the ninth.
MIami had hits in five consecutive innings from the second to the sixth, but all were singles. Five different players registered the hits -- Dan Walsh, Jake Romano, Max Andresen, Chad Sedio and Kendall Johnson. Only Romano reached second base, and he was stranded there.
Nathan Williams took the loss to fall to 4-3. He allowed five runs and six hits in five innings. Mike Burke improved to 7-2 with the win. He gave up all five Miami hits, while striking out five, in seven innings of work.
Miami (23-27, 12-12) wraps up the regular season next weekend when it hosts rival Ohio Thursday to Saturday at McKie Field.

Problem is, the are all dead wrong again. See below for a some bewildering comments
Traditionalists of diverse faiths described the destruction as part of god's plan, proof of his power and punishment for human sins.
"This is an expression of God's great ire with the world," Israeli chief rabbi Shlomo Amar told Reuters. "The world is being punished for wrongdoing—be it people's needless hatred of each other, lack of charity, moral turpitude."
Pandit Harikrishna Shastri, a priest of New Delhi's huge marble and sandstone Birla Hindu temple, told Reuters the disaster was caused by a "huge amount of pent-up man-made evil on earth" and driven by the positions of the planets.
Azizan Abdul Razak, a Muslim cleric and vice president of Malaysia's Islamic opposition party, Parti Islam se-Malaysia, said the disaster was a reminder from god that "he created the world and can destroy the world."
Sheikh Ibrahim Mogra, a leading British Muslim cleric from Leicester in England said: "We believe that God has ultimate controlling power over his entire creation. We have a responsibility to try and attract god's kindness and mercy and not do anything that would attract his anger."
Many faiths believe that disasters foretell the end of time or the coming of a Messiah. Some Christians expect chaos and destruction as foretold in the Bible's final book, Revelation.
Maria, a 32-year-old Jehovah's Witness in Cyprus who believes that the apocalypse is coming said people who once slammed the door in her face were stopping to listen.
"It is a sign of the last days," she said.

MIAMI — Despite a year that has produced unprecedented ice melts in the Arctic and Greenland, a devastating drought across much of the country and hundreds of record high temperatures around the world, the subject of climate change has managed to remain in the deep freezer of presidential politics.
At a small rally in Miami Beach on Thursday, environmentalists took one last longshot at making global warming a meaningful campaign issue hoping that if freaky global weather wasnt enough, maybe salty Atlantic Ocean percolating up through the sewer grates of one of the states major tourist destinations might merit at least a question during the final presidential debate on Monday at Lynn University in Boca Raton.
Nowhere else is the reality of climate change more visible than right here, right now on the corner of 10th and Alton in Miami Beach, said Christie Elles, an outreach associate for the Union of Concerned Scientists, who stood barefoot in ankle deep water along with about 20 activists on the flooded sidewalk next to the Whole Foods parking lot. This is an issue the next president of the United States will have to address.
The rally echoed a letter signed by 121 climate scientists, experts and political leaders in Florida, including mayors and commissioners from more than a dozen cities and counties, urging President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney to detail plans for dealing with a threat that will cost the state tens of billions of dollars in coming years.
Though climate change remains a subject of debate in some states, its already become a costly reality in South Florida. In Miami Beach, for instance, city commissioners are considering a $206 million overhaul of an antiquated drainage system increasingly compromised by rising ocean water.
Sea levels that have risen by eight inches over the last century have slowed the flow of runoff into the bay, producing prolonged flooding in low-lying streets after big storms. During extreme seasonal high tides, like ones this week, the drainage system does the reverse conveying salty bay water onto streets. The citys plan calls for more pumps, wells to store storm runoff, higher sea walls and back-flow preventers to block ocean and bay water from rising into streets.
The concerns arent confined to Miami Beach. Earlier this year, a report from Climate Central, an independent research and journalism organization, suggested Miami-Dade and Broward counties alone have more people vulnerable to flooding than any state except Florida and Louisiana. Other studies suggest some of the lowest-lying Florida Keys may be the first to be inundated.
Sam Van Leer, president of the Urban Paradise Guild, a Miami-based group focused on restoring native habitat, said the latest projections of accelerating sea rise level could overwhelm engineering fixes in coming decades unless steps are taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that fuel global warming.
The water were seeing behind us is just the beginning, he said. Its going to get worse.
Despite studies suggesting that the pace of warming is increasing, the issue is getting far less attention in 2012 than it did in 2008, when both Obama and his Republican challenger John McCain expressed concerns and endorsed efforts to reduce greenhouse gas. This time around, both campaigns have largely dodged the issue, focusing intensely on the bread-and-butter concerns such as jobs, taxes and the sluggish economy.
Obama has given an occasional nod to the subject, promoting wind and solar power and mentioning climate change in his acceptance speech to the Democratic National Convention and during a campaign event last week in Miami, where he spoke about the threat of rising seas.
That is not a joke. That is not a hoax. Thats our childrens future. Folks here in Miami understand that better than anybody, Obama said. The impact of climate change will be significant on our kids and grandkids unless we take those steps. We cannot just deny our way out of those things.
For Republicans, skepticism about climate science, particularly the role humans have played in climate change, has become a litmus test. Romney has frequently mentioned his uncertainty. In his nomination acceptance speech, he used Obamas lofty 2008 pledge to slow the rise of the oceans and heal the planet as a punchline, saying his goal was simply to help you and your family.
Lisa Hoyos, co-founder of the Climate Parents, a recently formed California-based advocacy group, blames oil and energy companies for financing campaigns to attack climate science, efforts that have confused the public and given both parties political cover to back expanded oil drilling and coal use over alternative fuels.
Though Mondays debate at Lynn is supposed to be focused on foreign policy, activists argue that the far-reaching implications of climate change, which could shrink food and water supplies and force massive population movements, deserve to be part of the discussion. With less than three weeks before the Nov. 6 election, it may be their last chance to put it on the national agenda.
Harold Wanless, a University of Miami geology professor who has documented decades of sea level rise in South Florida and signed the letter sent last week to both campaigns, said hes frustrated by Washington politicians who took the issue seriously four years ago but now want to avoid it.
I know we are worried about 10 million other things but this is the one that is going dominate our next century, he said.

|Megan Zunz and Donna Zehnder are the January 2013 DAISY Award Recipients
Nursing at All Children's Hospital is a team effort. It's not unusual for patients and families to praise the numerous nurses that took care of their child when nominating a nurse for the Daisy Award. This month, the Daisy Award recognizes the team work of two nurses who cared for a patient on 7-North. Congratulations to Megan Zunz, BSN, RN, CPN and Donna Zehnder, RN who are the January 2013 Daisy Award recipients. The DAISY Award is presented monthly to an All Children's Hospital Nurse who has provided extraordinary service to our patients.
A parent recently praised the work of these two ACH nurses:
My son had Adductor Release Surgery this past fall and a bilateral Petrie boot cast was positioned on him for a minimum of six weeks. We spent the evening on 7-North after the surgery, and although the day and night was a long and heartbreaking experience for me as a mommy, it was an agonizing experience for my 3-year-old baby boy.
Nevertheless, I was pleasantly surprised and in awe of nurses Megan Zunz who was there upon admit and Donna Zehnder who attended us through the evening. We were fortunate to receive Megan again the following day. Megan and Donna are just what parents need. They were there to aid in comforting my precious little one and also served as my counselors. They were there when I cried uncontrollably because my baby was in severe agony and helped me recognize that I am doing this for him and for his quality of life. Without them, I would have been unreasonable. Therefore, I am taking this time to inform you about these two exceptional ladies. Please give them the recognition that they deserve. They helped me and my baby without knowing us. I am confident that they offer this same tenderness to everyone. Another person to distinguish is Julie who assists in ortho casting. She also gave exceptional care and is a rock star! While I hope that we do not have to visit anytime soon, I know that my baby would again be given outstanding care. Please acknowledge the extraordinary performance of the persons mentioned.
Donna Zehnder, RN has been a nurse on the Surgical Neuroscience Unit (7-North) since 2001. She came to All Children's Hospital from the adult nursing world. "Donna does a great job establishing a good rapport with patients and families and is a great advocate," said Melissa Macogay,BSN, RN, CCRN, Director of the Pediatric Intensive Care and Surgical Neuroscience Units. "She is extremely helpful and is seen as a great resource by her peers. Donna has been nominated for the Daisy Award in the past, receiving kind praise from patients.

Bristow: "The Toronto pick Villaneuva was odd." Guess its not with us!
Good god people,calm the hell down,you guys are acting like we just traded away the whole team for Bass.
If my memory serves me correctly,2nd rounders are pretty much garbage for the most part anyway.
Can anyone even tell me where our #2 from last year is right now?I think I even forgot his name.I think it was pickens or something.
Im pleased with the draft.Im not totally floored with it,but what did you guys expect???
We should do pretty well in Vegas for the Summer League.
is still a hornet according to Bristow
i expected TURIAF or UKic who are great playersOriginally Posted by ktulu909
Calm down guys we still have Chris Paul and loads of cap room to sign FA's.
name two fas thatwould come here for the right price..anyways i am out.
If they were "great players" they would have been gone in the early first round.Originally Posted by sof2xlc
I wonder if Gomes and Turiaf had some off court issues, thus the draft. Not suggesting anything, but maybe they tested poorly on the intelligence tests or something else.
Chris Paul, JR Smith, and Mags are solid cornerstones and could help us bring in FA's. We are not in bad shape. Remember we are not going to the playoffs next year but we are doing a good job so far in improveing our team.
said that we are done with the trades
Biggest steal of the draft. By far. And a missed opportunity for us.Originally Posted by Trueblood

Bass could wind up being good. I just think there were better players out there.
Not the end of the world.
I think we will try pretty hard to sign Simmons.
Only time will tell. Based on what Jay Bilas said about Chris Taft, Bass may be more NBA ready than Taft. Let's give our picks a chance before us "experts" say woulda, coulda, shoulda.
Did you know that 5 out of 4 people have trouble with fractions?
He is playing for an NBDL team in Florida.Originally Posted by the337hornet
That's the beauty of cap space. You can overpay for Simmons if you have to.Originally Posted by Cajun_Hornet
Taft finally drafted. Taft, Ellis, and Diogu all takein by GS. I really hate that team now because of Baron but they did pretty well in the draft.
The Suns will match any offer for Johnson so we won't be able to sign him.Originally Posted by DaFan

YADKINVILLE - On Tuesday, Scott Vincent Sica, a suspect in the 1996 slaying of Jonesville police officer Sgt. Greg Martin, pleaded guilty to first degree murder and attempted robbery with a dangerous weapon. Sica was sentenced to life in prison without parole plus additional time for the robbery charge. If the case had gone to trial, Sica could have faced the death penalty.
Martin was killed on Oct. 5, 1996 after pulling over a red Dodge pickup truck on Interstate 77 just outside of Jonesville. Sica was arrested in October 2012 along with two other men, Marc Peterson Oldroyd and Brian Eugene Whittaker who are also on the docket for this week in Yadkin County Superior Court.
During the proceedings, Detective Ron Perry, formerly of the State Bureau of Investigation, testified about the details of the 18-year long investigation that concluded with the arrest of the three suspects, Sica, Oldroyd and Whittaker. Perry worked on the case while serving with the SBI and upon his retirement from the SBI, Perry was asked to join the Jonesville Police Department as a detective, with his primarily responsibility to be the continued investigation of Martin's death.
Perry's testimony detailed the story of three Florida men who robbed a bank and a Home Depot in Florida and then set out across the country, quickly running through their stolen cash by purchasing dirt bikes and a utility trailer. When the money ran out, the three men headed to North Carolina where a family member of Oldroyd's ,who worked at Belmont Abby College, offered them a free place to stay. Still low on funds, another robbery was planned and that was what brought the trio to Jonesville on Oct. 5 and ended with the murder of Sgt. Martin.
Perry shared previous statements from Whittaker who claimed that Sica shot Martin multiple times as he was searching their vehicle following a botched robbery attempt at the Huddle House in Jonesville. According to the autopsy report, Martin was shot six times in the head at close range.
Following Perry's testimony, Sica's lawyers, Vincent Rable and Dan Dolan, asked several follow-up questions in an apparent attempt to show some doubt about details of the case. One point the defense brought up was the fact that despite testimony that the shots were fired from the passenger side of the vehicle, where Sica was standing, towards Martin who was looking inside the vehicle, there was no bullet damage to the vehicle. Sica's attorney's claimed that Brian Whittaker, the driver of the vehicle, was in fact the shooter, but said they chose to accept the plea deal in order to avoid the death penalty.
Rable also read a letter from Sica's parents, who were not present in courtroom. The letter portrayed Sica at the time of the shooting as a child who had made a mistake. Sica was 21 at the time of the shooting. Upon returning home from a ten-year stint in prison for robbery, the letter described now 31 year-old Sica as "a builder, a healer, a doer" who "made you see the beauty around you." Sica's parents expressed sorrow for the Martin family on the loss of Greg Martin and said now it was their time for sorrow. Additional letters from Sica's friends in Florida described a kindly and charitable man who fished and shared his catch with neighbors and friends.
Several of Martin's family members were in the courtroom, including his wife, children and siblings. There were many quiet tears shed by the family members during the proceedings. Martin's sister Melissa Blakley addressed the court and read a brief statement expressing her anger over the "ruthless, cruel, heartless execution" of her brother. Blakley said she was at least glad to know that Sica would not be able to hurt another family like he had hurt hers. Blakley also expressed anger over the fact that Sica's family will still be able to visit him in prison and hear his voice while her family can only visit a cemetery and hear silence. Blakley said that "through God's grace and mercy" the family would "overcome a little more everyday."
Letters from Martin's wife and children were read by District Attorney Tom Horner. Horner was visibly shaken while reading a letter from Martin's daughter Brittany where she expressed her pain "like a knife in the heart" over the loss of her Father when she was only six-years old. Horner had to stop briefly to compose himself as he continued reading the letter.
Sica was given the opportunity to speak, he stood, made an nearly silent choked sound as if he were about to cry and immediately sat back down. Again Sica's lawyers asked for the Judge's consideration of "mitigating circumstances" in the sentencing, particularly in relation to the additional time for the attempted robbery.
At the close of the proceedings, Horner gave a heated recommendation to the judge not to consider mitigating circumstances. Horner referred to the defense team's frequent use of the word "unfortunate" to describe the events of Oct. 5 that lead to Martin's death. Horner said "unfortunate" could refer to accidentally backing over one's cat in the driveway or sliding on rain-slick roads, but not to the brutal murder of Greg Martin.
"What's unfortunate is that we weren't able to catch [Sica] before now," Horner said.
Judge Wood called the case a "tragedy" but commended Perry for "sticking with the case." He also expressed his condolences to the Martin family and though he said justice was "imperfect" and couldn't "bring the victim back" he said he hoped the family's healing could begin now.

Sleeping Pills
Dr. Ralph Pascualy explains why one cannot just take sleeping pills. Often, doctors will ask about your sleeping problems and then give a prescription for sleeping pills. There isn't a diagnosis in between. Sleeping pills are drugs that can impact your ability to sleep without them. You can lose your own ability to sleep. If the first thing a doctor does is prescribe sleeping medications, you should seek help elsewhere.

Scott Kowalchuk Archives - Comics Should Be Good! @ Comic Book Resources
Trade paperbacks, older editions, and miscellaneous for January 2012
As I'm getting more and more things in trade these days and many of those don't come out very quickly, I often miss titles that everyone is raving about for my year-end lists (see: Daredevil). So I've decided to do a post every month about the various trade paperbacks I got in the month. I've also included editions of things that may be from an earlier year but which I didn't get until now or which have been re-released, and some other stuff, too. I'm still going to review new graphic novels individually, but this is for anything that doesn't fall into that category. Sound good? Great. Let's check some stuff out!

- 9.1 i586 , CS2.1 i586 , 9.1 i586 , 9.0 i586 , CS2.1 x86_64
Several vulnerabilities were discovered in versions of gdm prior to 184.108.40.206. The first vulnerability is that any user can read any text file on the system due to code originally written to be run as the user logging in was in fact being run as the root user. This code is what allows the examination of the ~/.xsession-errors file. If a user makes a symlink from this file to any other file on the system during the session and ensures that the session lasts less than ten seconds, the user can read the file provided it was readable as a text file. Another two vulnerabilities were found in the XDMCP code that could be exploited to crash the main gdm daemon which would inhibit starting any new sessions (although the current session would be unaffected). The first problem here is due to the indirect query structure being used right after being freed due to a missing 'continue' statement in a loop; this happens if a choice of server expired and the client tried to connect. The second XDMCP problem is that when authorization data is being checked as a string, the length is not checked first. If the data is less than 18 bytes long, the daemon may wander off the end of the string a few bytes in the strncmp which could cause a SEGV. These updated packages bring gdm to version 220.127.116.11 which is not vulnerable to any of these problems. Also note that XDMCP support is disabled by default in gdm.

AnyPresence, the leading enterprise backend-as-a-service platform, today announced that it has enhanced its partnership with Heroku, a platform-as-a-service owned by Salesforce.com. The general availability of AnyPresence's latest release* now enables customers to deploy and manage individual cloud-based deployments of their backend services on Heroku right from within the AnyPresence Designer.
"Developers within IT organizations are under pressure to deliver enterprise apps at a faster pace than ever before," said Rakesh Rao, CTO and Co-Founder of AnyPresence. "Our partnership with Heroku enables developers to spend more time on app functionality, eliminating costly resources and time typically required to set up scalable server infrastructure for development, test, and production environments. Enterprise apps can be deployed in seconds to a highly-scalable cloud platform."
While apps developed on the AnyPresence platform can be deployed to any server infrastructure, customers can take advantage of instant deployment to Heroku's cloud platform by default. Each deployment of the backend server gets a dedicated stack, which can be scaled independently and dynamically based on app usage and workload characteristics. Over a dozen AnyPresence customers are already taking advantage of this service, which now provides the added convenience of managing server resources for scalability and performance, including Heroku's new "2X dynos", from a central location. Administrators also have access to hundreds of available Heroku add-ons that can be installed from the AnyPresence Designer.
"The Heroku API allows for unlimited creativity," said Nicolas Pujol, VP Business Development for Heroku. "Developers are rapidly taking advantage of it to build new functionality from single sign-on to add-on services or backend-as-a-service platforms like AnyPresence."

If you are attempting to write an abstract/base class which automates the __sleep process in PHP5 you will run into some trouble if the subclasses which are being serialized have private/protected variables you need to be serialized.
The reason is, even though get_class($this) within the base class will return the subclass -- get_class_vars(get_class($this)) will *not* return the subclass' protected/private variables. Which makes sense -- using OO principles.
However, when automating __sleep it becomes necissary to have access to the private/protected subclass variables because their names have to be returned by __sleep.
So here is the work around:
public function __sleep()
... code ...
$sleepVars = array_keys((array)$this);
return $sleepVars;
Even though array_keys includes more information about the variable names than just the variable names -- it still seems to work appropriately.

The Shadow Effect: Illuminating the Hidden Power of Your True Self
The Shadow Effect: Illuminating the Hidden Power of Your True Self (Hardcover)
Related Editions
Deepak Chopra, Debbie Ford, and Marianne New York Times bestselling authors and internationally acclaimed teachershave joined together to share their knowledge on one of the most crucial obstacles to happiness we facethe shadow. These three luminaries, each with a signature approach, bring to light the parts of ourselves we deny but that still direct our life. For it is only when we embrace our shadow that we discover the gifts of our authentic nature.
The shadow exists within all of us. It is a part of us and yet we spend most of our life running from it. But far from being scary, our dark side holds the promise of a better, more fulfilling life. Our shadow makes itself known every day. It is the reason we get furious over a friend showing up ten minutes late, yell at our parents or kids when they have done nothing wrong, and sabotage our own success at the worst possible time. Until we are able to embrace our dualistic nature, we will continue to hurt ourselves and those closest to us and fall short of our potential.
Combining the wisdom of three experts, The Shadow Effect is a practical and profound guide to discovering the gifts of our shadow. These three authors powerfully pierce the veil of our unclaimed self, releasing us from the past and propelling us on a journey to wholeness. No longer living a half life, we are capable of achieving our dreams and reclaiming the happiness that is our birthright.

Cmon dude really? How does ANYBODY gets caught with a gun at an airport? Dude you didn't know you had a LOADED gun in your bag?
Either somebody slipped one in there without him knowing, or he's just as dumb as other people that has gotten busted.
After 911 you'd think he'd be more careful.

After more than 20 years in law enforcement, Officer Frederica "Dolly" Ramires is still getting used to life without her uniform and patrol car.
"I'm sure that I'm going to miss it," Ramires said. "My concern is my knee now since I've had recent two surgeries on it and I don't want to injure it anymore."
On Dec. 18, Ramires spent her final day with her colleagues at Albert J. Ellis airport, where she served as an officer for five years.
"She was hardworking and compassionate and dedicated to the safety and security of a passengers coming in and out of the airport," said Christopher White, director of Albert J. Ellis airport.
Ramires was awarded with a plaque for her years of service, just one of many honors that the Hubert resident has received since she first started her career in
"We have many commendation letters for her work over the years, and she also taught self-defense classes to the county employees," White said. "Many of those employees are in dangerous non-law enforcement jobs like social services, and they were always asking for more classes."
One of her greatest acts of service is now a faithful companion that she calls Buddy. Before he became a member of her family, the walker hound was a skittish stray that made a home at the airport five years ago. Ramires relentlessly pursued a friendship with the injured dog, feeding him Bojangles meals and developing a strategy to bring him to safety.
"One day I was out patrolling and I noticed him and his collar was cutting into his neck," she said. "I started feeding him and getting friendly with him."
Buddy was finally captured 16 months later after he was wooed by a gentle beagle named Roxie, who also lives with Ramires and her family along with two other dogs. Although he still scurries from strangers, Buddy is now a healthy dog who enjoys good meals and rides in the family car.
"He's made me kind of popular around here," Ramires said. "I can't go anywhere without someone asking me how he's doing."
Ramires believes that her love of protecting and serving is deeply rooted in her DNA.
"Daddy's dad was a sheriff in
After completing basic academy training, Ramires secured her first job as an officer with the Cape Carteret Police Department and quickly earned an officer of the year award. Ramires served nine years in
"When I went into law enforcement years ago, it was very hard for a female," Ramires said. "You really had to prove yourself with the men that you worked with for them to even accept you. Now you don't have to prove yourself as a woman first, you are just their partner."
Ramires was determined to achieve excellence as a police officer, earning an advanced law enforcement certification in November of 2001, teaching rape prevention classes in
"The most rewarding part was when I worked with children and helped to steer them off a path to become criminals, and helping the elderly and meeting lots of new people," Ramires said.
Retirement has not stopped Ramires from continuing her efforts to cut down on crime. She is now focusing on turning her childhood love for martial arts into a full time profession.
"I first started when I was in the fourth grade and I just started reading books and watching Chuck Norris and different TV shows," Ramires said. "I asked my mom and dad if I could do it one day, and now I've been teaching martial arts for 30 years."
With a fourth degree black belt in American Tae Kwon Do, Ramires has owned and operated Ramires ATA Black Belt Academy in Swansboro for six years. She plans to focus her martial arts training to help children and teens defend themselves from bullying. She also hopes to help erase negative stereotypes about law enforcement among youth and encourage all residents to make a positive difference in their communities.
"It makes me feel good when people still recognize me as 'Officer Friendly' from when they were kids," she said. "I would always sit in the schools and eat lunch with the kids to show them that I'm just like them."

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – For the second-straight night, No. 3 Miami erased a two-goal deficit, this time on three separate occasions, to force overtime and skated to a 4-4 tie with No. 8 Providence College Saturday night at Schneider Arena. Just a night after falling in overtime despite battling back from two goals down, the RedHawks (3-2-1) again needed a third period rally to force extra time against Hockey East's Friars (4-0-1) as the two evenly-matched teams have played to a 1-1-2 record in four-straight overtime games dating back to last season. Last Oct. 19-20 in Oxford, Miami and Providence played to a 1-1 tie on Friday night before the RedHawks took a 4-3 win in overtime in the Saturday night game.
Despite drastically reducing the number of penalties from the previous night, special teams again played a major role in the game for both sides as five of the combined eight goals were scored with a man in the penalty box. After serving 43 minutes on 12 penalties on Friday night, Miami was called for just four penalties for eight minutes on Saturday. Providence, meanwhile, cut its penalties to six from eight the night before. The RedHawks scored twice on the power play and once short-handed, their second of the season, while the Friars went 2-for-3 with the man-advantage.
Miami sophomore forward Riley Barber scored twice and added an assist bringing his season totals to eight goals and 12 points, both of which lead the nation. His linemate, junior captain Austin Czarnik assisted on three goals for his third multi-assist game of the season. Czarnik trails only Barber nationally in points with 11.
In the wild, high-scoring first period, Providence tallied a pair of goals separated by 27 second, starting with their first at 8:58 of the opening frame. Both goals were scored even strength as the Friars opened up a 2-0 lead and junior forward Alex Wideman was whistled for an interference penalty during the second goal. The goals came less than a minute after Providence goaltender Jon Gillies robbed the Red and White's Sean Kuraly when Gillies dove backwards, stopping the puck just in front of the goal line after it Kuraly had tipped it past him.
Miami quickly responded 15 seconds after the second goal at 9:40 of the first despite being down a man when Czarnik stole the puck deep in the offensive zone behind the Providence net and found Barber open in the left circle where wristed it past Gillies to cut the Providence lead to 2-1 on his second shorty of the season.
Just 44 seconds later the Friars regained the two-goal advantage with a power play goal just before Wideman's penalty expired to go up, 3-1.
Scoring was not finished in the first until 33 seconds were left on the clock when Wideman lit the lamp for his second goal of the year. Czarnik, playing the point on the 5-on-3 power play, passed across to Barber who faked a one-timer but instead passed low to Wideman at the right post. Wideman settled it and quickly sent it into the net to make it 3-2, Providence.
The Friars scored early in the second period on a power play shot through traffic off the stick of Kevin Hart from the right point to put Providence ahead by two goals for the third time of the night at 4-2.
Late in the second frame Miami killed off a penalty, the team's first successful kill of the game after the Friars had been 2-for-2 on the man-advantage. Just 15 seconds after the penalty expired, junior forward Blake Coleman worked the puck behind the net in the offensive zone. He sent a pass out front to senior forward Bryon Paulazzo who was tied up and being hauled down in front of the net. Paulazzo outworked the defenseman and got his stick on the puck with just enough behind it to beat Gillies and pull the RedHawks back to within one at 4-3, Providence.
With a Friar in the penalty box early in the third period, Miami again found success on the power play at 4:53 of the third. After an attempted clear, sophomore defenseman Matt Caito kept the puck in the zone and fed it to Czarnik at the left point. Czarnik sent it into the left circle to Barber who skated all the way to the right circle, behind the net and back to where he started before cutting across the high slot and firing a wrister just inside the right post for the equalizer.
The RedHawks outshot Providence 3-1 in the extra period, but couldn't get another shot past Gillies as the teams skated to the draw.
Miami led in total shots in the game by a 41-28 margin and finished 2-for-5 on the power play, but went 1-for-3 on the penalty kill. Sophomore goaltender Ryan McKay made 24 saves for the RedHawks while Gillies stopped 37 shots.
Miami returns home next weekend to host Canisius at Steve Cady Arena on Nov. 1-2. Friday's game starts at 7:35 p.m.

The ASPCA Emergency Boarding Facility has been up and running in Brooklyn since Saturday November 17! Our dedicated staff and volunteers are currently caring for about 150 animals and providing relief to Sandy victims who need temporary housing for their pets. Check out photos of the operation in our Facebook album.
This week, we received pets at locations near the hardest hit areas, including the Rockaways and Coney Island on Monday and Tuesday and Staten Island and Red Hook later in the week. The facility has also welcomed pets who were being housed at evacuation centers or a Sean Casey Animal Rescue facility, as well as animals dropped off directly by their families.
Made possible in part thanks to a $500,000 grant from Rachael Ray, this free service was created in response to the many pet parents who asked for a place to board animals until they found new homes. With the help of volunteers from the ASPCA Adoption Center, Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals and elsewhere, we're aiming to give hundreds of families a chance to rebuild their lives without having to say goodbye to their beloved furry family members.
Watch this blog for updates.
If you or someone you know was affected by Sandy and would like to use our free boarding service, please read this post for details.
If you would like to donate to our Disaster Relief Fund, you can do so here.
Rachel, thank you soo much for your contribution. The world would be such a better place if more people were like you!
Rachael Ray Rocks!! wish other celebrities would pitch in like that!!
Rachel Ray you are awesome! You are one of the only "animal lover" celebrities to put their money where their mouth is. You deserve all the success and happiness you have. You are truly a special person. Thank you for allowing these people affected by Sandy to keep their furry family members, I'm sure that is one source of comfort that they have while trying to rebuild their lives.

Thank you, Rachael Ray and the ASPCA, for everything you're doing to spare animals and their families from more worry and loss as they recover from Sandy. Rachael -- I just switched to your Delish dry dog food a few months ago, and my dog loves it. Your generous gift to support the animal victims of Sandy and their families confirms my decision to stick with your brand permanently. As one commenter posted, "You're one of the good ones."

- The Obama administration's lead on performance management is leaving on May 3. Shelley Metzenbaum has been the associate director of performance and personnel management at OMB since 2009. The Performance.gov website and the increased role of Performance Improvement Officers governmentwide can be credited to her. She will be heading back to Boston where she served as the founding director of the Edward J. Collins Jr. Center for Public Management at the University of Massachusetts.(Federal News Radio)
- Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said he wants to roll back the sequester. He is sponsoring a bill to tap money intended for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan saying it would give lawmakers more time to negotiate another way to cut the federal deficit. In trying to win over his colleagues, he said sequestration had forced the National Institutes of Health to delay or stop science projects adding that labs across the country have lost medical research grants. Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., countered the White House should offer a replacement plan for sequestration. (Office of Harry Reid)
- The Senate confirmed Sylvia Burwell as director of the Office of Management and Budget in a 96 to zero vote. President Obama said Burwell will continue efforts to replace the sequester. Burwell comes from the Wal-Mart Foundation. Previously, she was an executive with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. She has also worked at OMB during a very different economic time. She served as deputy budget director in the Clinton administration when the government had a surplus. (Federal News Radio)
- Congress approved the Justice Department's request to move money around to avoid staff furloughs. Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Va., chairs the House panel overseeing the department's budget. He sayid DoJ had considered furloughing nearly 60,000 employees for as many as 14 days putting law enforcement, national security and criminal justice missions at risk. Wolf criticized the department for buying a prison in Illinois saying that those resources might have cushioned the blow. (Federal News Radio)
- The White House and Congress seem headed to a compromise that could put furloughed FAA staff back to work. The Obama administration said on Wednesday, it was open to a fix even if it leaves other sequestration-related cuts in place. Furloughs of air traffic controllers began Sunday. The National Air Traffic Controllers Association said it has led to more than double the number of flight delays. For example, there were 5,800 delays between Sunday and Tuesday. White House spokesman Jay Carney cautioned that a bill to help the FAA would be a "Band-Aid measure." (Federal News Radio)
