Posted on Jan 8, 2014 in Cookies, Drop Cookies | 20 comments
I'm going to be honest with you guys. I am a one beer wonder, a one drink stink, a total light weight and a cheap date…bottom line I have a very small tolerance for alcohol. It's in my genes. My dad could get a buzz from a non-alcoholic beer so it's really not my fault. Luckily for me, the majority of alcohol bakes out in these Kahula White Russian Cookies so I can have as many as I want without that nasty hangover I am WAY too old for!
Have you ever had a White Russian? It's basically vodka, Kahlua and cream. Simple and delicious. It is actually my husband's favorite drink which is why I had to make a cookie after it. This cookie has all the elements of a White Russian minus the vodka. But who needs vodka when you can have espresso, Kahlua and white chocolate all wrapped up in one awesome cookie! Yum!
For this White Russian Cookie, I knew I wanted an element of crispy and chewy which is why I used both white sugar and brown sugar. The brown sugar contributes to a chewier cookie and the white sugar gives it an element of crispiness. I also used ground espresso instead of liquid espresso because I wanted to keep the liquid low in this recipe for a chewier cookie. Liquid when baked in a cookie causes the cookie to steam resulting in a puffier cookie. The ground espresso also adds a nice texture to the cookie, which I kind of like but here's a sweet success tip, make sure you grind the espresso beans pretty fine or you might get tons of grinds in your teeth which is never that fun. Also contributing to a chewier cookie, I used baking soda instead of baking powder. The end result a super espresso-y, chewy & dense delicious White Russian Cookie. It's 5 'O Clock somewhere!
Contrary to poplar belief, alcohol does not bake out completely when put in baked goods. You probably won't get drunk with this cookie but just to be safe I wouldn't serve it to children either. What's your favorite drink for happy hour?
This recipe makes 12-14 cookies.
|Step 1
|Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
|Step 2
|Cream softened butter, white sugar & brown sugar. Add egg, espresso and Kahlua and mix until incorporated.
|Step 3
|In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking soda & salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until combined. Add the white chocolate chips and mix to combine.
|Step 4
|Scoop 2-3 round tablespoons of dough and place on the parchment lined baking sheets about 2-3 inches apart. Bake for 8-9 minutes. Cool and enjoy with maybe an White Russian drink!
Hi! Just wondering if anyone has added more liquid to the recipe and how it turned out? I would like to add some vodka to the batter. Also, has anyone frozen this dough to make at a later time? I would like to give this a gift. Thanks in advanced for your help
Hi Liz, I'm stopping by to say hello since we are in the same SITS tribe. These cookies sound awesome, I can't wait to try out the recipe.
Hi Liz! I am coming by to say hello because we're in the same SITS tribe! I look forward to getting to know you!
These cookies look REALLY good. Yum!
I can't tolerate alcohol either, but I'd never say no to one of these cookies! Mmm, they look delicious!
Oooh, these cookies are just what I was looking for! Can't wait to give them a try.
It's ok, I am made fun of always for being a light weight. After one cocktail I am done lol! I have never had a white russian but it sounds so good. The cookies will be a perfect way to get introduced. Oh my favorite after hour drink is a cosmo!
I only like sweet fruity or chocolatey drinks, but these look right up my alley!
1 – I'm trying to eat healthy and 2- I'm trying not to drink!! soo girrrl these are doing me NO favors, yettt I'm still obsessed
Haha I am a cheap date too. I was in a fraternity in college, and I used to drink A LOT. Now I have 2 glasses of wine and I'm hung over 😉 So yeah, now I prefer to have my alcohol in dessert form. Like these tasty cookies!
Oh gosh these sound so good!
I am SUCH a cheap date too! But, with the price of a cocktail, I don't mind! I LOVE these, plus they look so simple and easy! I can only think of one thing better than a cookie…and that is a cookie with booze!
As for my favorite happy hour drink…Peach Bellini all the way!

Pratte's Reef Dismantled
October: Man can build a lot of impressive things. Computers, planes, skyscrapers, hot dogs… But when it comes to waves, nature is indisputably the best maker of surf breaks. Humans have yet to come close in that arena. One of the many reminders of that came in mid-October when the pieces of Pratte's Reef (named after surf activist Tom Pratte) were forever hauled away from the dormant break Dockweiler, near Grand Avenue in El Segundo, Los Angeles. The large effort, engineered by surfer/ environmentalists with the Surfrider Foundation to bring life to the meager spot (which last saw good conditions more than a quarter century ago), was closed after nine years. An ambitious and admirable undertaking, the reef consisting of 200 giant sandbags on the ocean floor just off shore never produced the waves its creators hoped for and became an environmental concern.

Reviews for the Toshiba Portege Z930-S9301
Source: Tech2.in.com
The Toshiba Portege Z930 is priced at Rs. 96,000 here in India. It's not necessarily the sturdiest of Ultrabooks, but it is one of the lighest. So if you're travelling a lot and need something light and reasonably powerful, then this has to be it. Of course, you sacrifice some of the other things like a sturdy frame and a bit of ergonomics and aesthetics.

Toshiba has updated its flagship Ultrabook - the Z830 has become the Z930. Featuring the latest Ivy Bridge Intel Core processors, we hope it means that the £800 Z830 gets even cheaper as a result.

The Toshiba Portege Z930 sits on the Japanese company's business line of notebooks, offering an Ultrabook for those hard at work. As Ultrabooks often are, the Protege Z930 takes the skinny line, rather than the slightly more meaty look of the consumer Toshiba Satellite U840 announced at the same time as this model.

Intel HD Graphics 4000: Processor graphics card in the high end Ivy Bridge models. Offers a different clock speed in the different CPU models (ULV to desktop quad core) and therefore a different performance.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

13.3": This is a common display format for subnotebooks. Netbooks, UMPC and some subnotebooks have tinier displays. Nevertheless, the majority of standard laptops has a higher format. The advantage of a small display is, that the subnotebook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the small display needs few energy, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that the reading of texts is a bit exhausting for the eyes, especially with high resolutions.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
1.2 kg: This subnotebook is one of the most lightweight of all notebooks and can be carried very easily. There exist hardly any models in this extreme class of weight. 7-9 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.

As a mobile operating system: WP7 > iOS > Android.
I haven't used a Blackberry, so I cannot say.
Android > Windows Phone > iOS > Blackberry
I use both.
I used to own an Android phone. A Galaxy S on T-Mobile. I now own an iPhone 4S. I also own a MacBook Air. However, I do not have total loyalty to Apple. I hate iPads. I own a Kindle Fire modded to operate the CyanogenMod flavor of Android. I'm actually a store manager for T-Mobile and I've used all the operating systems WP7, BlackBerry, Android and iOS. I prefer iOS based on what I use it for. I'm huge into music & video production as well as web design. However, Android is my backup OS. With the announcement of WP7 and Windows 8 for PCs I will probably never own another PC or Windows based device.

Apple for quality. Android for affortability. That's how I see it. I love iPhones but they're way too overpriced.
Two reasons why Apple sucks. Specifically iPhone 4.
"Apple's multitasking sucks Apple's "fake multitasking" sucks for 2 reasons. For one, it's not real multitasking because not all apps can take advantage of it. Sure you can argue that multitasking drains the battery, but that's not the point here. Second reason why multitasking the iPhone 4 sucks is because it quickly gets ugly in your app switching dock si Apple doesn't kill apps until the OS deems it necessary. At any time I have betw 10 and 20 apps in my app switcher, making it very busy. Storage limitation sucks One of the big let downs of iPhone 4 is the storage limitation. Although Apple co have put 64GB of storage in there, they claim they didn't have the room for it. I t they just want to sell you a 64GB iPhone next year. That sucks because marketi taking over customer needs." http://www.idownloadblog.com/2010/06...phone-4-sucks/
Android based OS phones save more battery power and you don't have this fake multi tasking crap going on. Yeah, you're going to be using a shitload of power by playing games like Angry Birds, but hell, I can play AB longer then my tablet rivalry the iPad. Which brings me to another point.
The antenna and reception on the iPad can go suck my left testicle. I did a road test to prove it. Sitting in the Sydney CBD, got my friend with his fancy iPad with fuck all reception (after getting the antenna "fixed" by Apple) and there I am with my good old Samsung Galaxy Tablet with full reception. We are both on Optus.
Damn well pretty sure if I dropped your iPhone Joseph from the same height as I drop my Galaxy, your screen will be the first to break. The crapphone is notorious for having not only unfriendly OS interface but fucking shitty physical construction.
Yeah that 90% that was just quoted has to do with you, not a general quantity of people. Because I can tell you I prefer my gaming on an actual console.

I'm not exactly a defender of all things Apple. I like iOS (after version 5 really) and I like Android. I've owned both, and I can't really take sides in this debate, because they both have their pros and cons, but this is an extremely misinformed post.
The app switcher isn't "busy". Apps are listed in the order in which they were most recently accessed, so if you're flipping back and forth between web, text and music, all 3 will be on the first page of the app switcher. Of course, you don't have to use the app switcher. You can always go back to your home screen and open the app there, in case you're using a better organization system for your apps on the home screen.
Or, it's possible they just didn't have the room for it. If you've ever looked at pictures of a disassembled iPhone, everything fits in there tightly. The circuit board is packed. It's not impossible that when the iPhone 4 came out, there was no way to fit 64 GB of storage on it. Given the roughly 15 months between the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s, it's entirely possible that storage chips became small enough to fit. Flash storage is constantly getting cheaper and smaller.Storage limitation sucks One of the big let downs of iPhone 4 is the storage limitation.

I've had Android phones, and I now have an iPhone 4S. The 4S spanks both Android phones in battery life. The so-called "fake multitasking" which isn't really fake at all, it what helps save battery life.Android based OS phones save more battery power and you don't have this fake multi tasking crap going on. Yeah, you're going to be using a shitload of power by playing games like Angry Birds, but hell, I can play AB longer then my tablet rivalry the iPad. Which brings me to another point.
Apple's "fake" multitasking restricts what apps can do in the background. Take the MLB At Bat app. It updates with every pitch and every play. It also lets you listen to the game's broadcast. Listening to the broadcast is something you can do while the app is running in the background. So iOS lets the app do that. Viewing the location and result of every pitch isn't something you can do while the app is running in the background, because the app is off the screen. So naturally, iOS will restrict that. Less data used, less battery used.
Or take the Facebook app for example. I believe it lets you upload pictures in the background. So you can click the upload button and go do something else, because the upload will take awhile. But while the app is running in the background and you're tapping out a text message, you can't see your Facebook news feed, so the Facebook app isn't going to refresh it.
iOS's "fake multitasking" implementation restricts apps to doing only things that are necessary, so no battery life is wasted on performing tasks that provide no benefit to the end user.
Don't have a 3G iPad, so I can't comment.The antenna and reception on the iPad can go suck my left testicle. I did a road test to prove it.

Damn well pretty sure you're wrong. The iPhone is made out of Gorilla Glass, it's some pretty strong stuff. Or, you can, you know, not drop your fucking phone. I've managed to not drop any cell phone I've ever owned onto anything besides carpet. I'm not sure how some people drop their phone all the time. It's really not that hard to not drop it.Damn well pretty sure if I dropped your iPhone Joseph from the same height as I drop my Galaxy, your screen will be the first to break.

There's a new Android phone coming out practically every day. And one issue I've always had with Android is fragmentation. You can buy an Android phone with Gingerbread (already an outdated OS) today with absolutely no guarantee the manufacturer or your carrier will provide an update to Ice Cream Sandwich. The Android phone I bought back in February 2011 came with Froyo. An upgrade to Gingerbread was released several months after it came out, and that's where it will end. My carrier has said that this particular phone is not on their ICS roadmap. So no upgrade for it. On a year old phone.Tactical marketing. They "improve" the OS charge you $500 and then they release a new one six months later.
iOS 5 can run on the iPhone 3GS (3 years old) and on the original iPad (2 years old). I'm sorry, but there is no 3 year old Android phone out there running Ice Cream Sandwich, supported by the manufacturer. Maybe if you root it and install a custom ROM on there, but that's not exactly something novice users can do.
In the top 10 complaints lodged by iPhone not Android but iPhone users include (other then " it caught me cheating") include some form of the screen and tge problens Apple keeps having. Whether breakage or discolouration without dropping it. I can believe this. The central west group I run on FB to sell and buy stuff #1 reoccurring trend we see are iPhone screen breaks.
But Todd. The cheapest Android I have seen is like $30 from my grocery store. What's the cheapest RRP for the iPhone?

People who expect their phones to remain in pristine condition after they drop them from 5 feet onto hard surfaces would probably complain if they got wet during a rainstorm.
There's a certain level of common sense people should have. Electronic devices that are made mostly of plastic or glass are going to suffer considerable damage if dropped from high heights.
Are we really comparing the performance of our cell phones based on how idiot-proof they are?
I mean, if I shelled out $500 on an electronic device that will suffer damage if I dropped it, the price tag of replacing it sure would keep me from being careless with it.
I have an iPhone 4. I used to own an iPhone 3GS. For the last 4 years I have never had a single hiccup with either device, aside from reduced battery life after a year or so. However, that's to be expected in any electronic device with a battery that is being used constantly. It still hasn't affected my ability to use the phone for long periods of time. Instead of having to charge it every 36 hours I have to do it every 24 hours. Big deal.
The thing about the vast majority of complaints we hear about the iPhone (the antennae issues upon the launch of the iPhone 4 notwithstanding) is from a vocal minority of people. What you don't hear about is the millions of users like me who have had no issues with their phones and love them to pieces. If you haven't owned an iPhone, I don't think you're in any position to comment about its quality, much like I'm in no position to criticize Android.
I have various game boys. You could do anything in the world to them and they would still function after that. My 8 year old Nintendo DS is faring better than my iPod 5G, which has borked completely for the second time. Apple chooses to make their wares flashy to please the oooo shiny crowd. They are not designing for durability. It's not like there isn't more that they could have done.
This is all a red herring because it has nothing to do with software though.
I strongly dislike a lot of what Apple does. I really hate that is is damn near impossible to open anything of theirs to replace their parts. I really dislike that their software environment is a little closed walled garden. I abhor Apple's constant bullying of other people.
Android is at least more free than Apple. Google are returning some of their changes back to the Linux kernel from which android is derived. Free and open source software benefits from Android to some degree, which is more than what Apple does for anybody.

The LPA has a wiki
I didn't want to post here before in the fear of starting something, but since it's already began...
I just wanna address the new iPhone every 6 months. Here is the iPhone release history this far.
July 2007
July 2008
June 2009
June 2010
October 2011
Now forgive me if I'm wrong, but that doesn't look like every 6 months to me.
Anyways I love my iPhone and iOS for these few reasons
No Fragmentation
No malware
Simple and easy to use
Good, quality apps
Good battery life
An all round solid OS that isn't beta software
But yeah, cba with arguing, I mean, it's a phone... just a phone.
No malware? Anything that incorporates downloading anything from the internet is at risk of contracting malware. I am yet to see a piece of technology that is connected to the world wide web that is not spreading its legs to malware and viruses.
Easy and simple to use? The only due credit I give to an Apple product is the first gen of the iPod Nano which I have owned. Other than that iPhones are confusing as hell and yes I owned one for a whole week until I handed it back in. Hello Android Swype.

Why are you arguing as if I mentioned anything about malware?
You can't navigate an iPhone?
I don't see why I mention that I happen to use an Apple device and happen to like it, then it gets turned into an argument. "This OS is better." Cool. I don't give a shit. I use an Apple device, I am happy with it.
I just like Sony phones and Android happens to be the OS they use so yeah
The only problem I have with my current one (Xperia Arc) is that the battery life isn't great, and to my knowledge that isn't the OS' fault.
Ummmm.... Have a looky-loo: http://www.forbes.com/sites/kenrapoz...ogles-android/Originally Posted by Sarah
I think you're really out of your element in this discussion. You can't own an iPhone for a week and suddenly become an expert on it. This is evidenced by the fact your arguments in this thread have more holes in them than a dump truck filled with donuts.

The Bachelor
The Bachelor 16's Kacie Boguskie: I Had an Eating Disorder
Kacie Boguskie was the first girl to get a second individual date on The Bachelor Season 16, Episode 6. That alone said a lot. On Episode 6, she and Ben Flajnik had a deep conversation at dinner in Panama. Kacie told Ben she doesn't always relate to people her own age. She feels a bit older.
Ben dug into her past and got her to reveal that, in high school, she had an eating disorder. Because of certain events in her life, she felt out of control and the only thing she could control was her weight. She felt like if she was smaller she'd be prettier and happier. She was bulimic and anorexic for about a year. She was eventually "caught in the act" by her parents at a Super Bowl party.
Through that, she learned a lot — that she doesn't have to be perfect. She feels like it helped her grow up faster and made her a stronger person. Ben appreciated how she opened up to him and it brought them closer together.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will arrive at Fortaleza Monday evening for the July 15-16 VI BRICS Summit and hope to take the headquarters of the New Development Bank, an alternate to World Bank and promoted by BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) countries to New Delhi. To be initially capitalised at $50 billion ($10 billion being contributed by each of the five countries), the bank will have an authorised capital of $100 billion, and cater to the infrastructure and development funding needs of the five countries.
The setting up of the BRICS Bank and that of a $100 billion contingency reserve arrangement to meet short-term liquidity pressures of these developing countries will top the agenda of the VI BRICS Summit being held in Fortaleza and Brasilia over the next two days. India, however, faces a strong challenge from China, which too is keen to base the new development bank's headquarters in Shanghai.
"We are very keen to have the bank headquartered in New Delhi. This will certainly focus in the discussions," a senior government official, who is part of the Prime Minister delegation told The Indian Express. Modi is accompanied by his Sherpa, Foreign Secretary Sujatha Singh, Minister of State for Commerce and Industry (Independent charge), Finance and Corporate Affairs Nirmala Sitharaman, National Security Adviser AK Doval, and Finance Secretary Arvind Mayaram.
The BRICS Summit is also Modi's first multilateral engagement since he catapulted the Bhartiya Janata Party at the Centre with a majority in the Lok Sabha elections in May. He is scheduled to have separate meetings with President Xi Jinping of China and President Vladimir Putin of Russia in Fortaleza on July 15. The second day of the Summit will be held in Brazil capital Brasilia where Modi will interact with heads of state of other South American countries including Argentina, Venezuela, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Uruguay, Paraguay, Ecuador, Guyana, Bolivia and Suriname.
Ahead of his departure, Modi said, he looked forward to discussions to further advance intra-BRICS economic cooperation and its collective efforts to advance global economic stability and prosperity. "I look forward to the successful conclusion of major BRICS initiatives, like the New Development Bank and the Contingent Reserve Arrangement, which have seen significant progress since their launch in New Delhi in 2012. These initiatives will support growth and stability in BRICS and also benefit other developing countries," he said in a statement.
According to Modi, the Summit theme, "Inclusive Growth; Sustainable Development", will help shape the post-2015 Development Agenda being discussed in the United Nations. "The Summit is as significant as the Bretton Woods conference for emerging economies …continued »

Since the release of the 2014-2015 NFL Schedule ticket demand has been on the steady rise. In part due to the fact that NFL teams only have a guaranteed 8 home games a season, NFL tickets tend to be the most expensive on average of all the sports. While NFL Playoff games, including the Super Bowl, tend to be every season's most demanded ticket, the same factors that are responsible for increasing/decreasing regular season prices (marquee matchups, newly acquired talent, high profile teams) effect them as well.
As in most years, tickets to the top teams for the upcoming season always stand out as the big ticket. This year's NFL season has the San Francisco 49ers leading the ticket costs at $485.85 ticket average with their biggest rival, the Seattle Seahawks, coming in right behind them at a $452.34 average ticket price. Other teams among the most desired ticket include the New England Patriots ($414.22 ticket average), Chicago Bears ($348.99 ticket average), and the Dallas Cowboys ($322.28 ticket average).
While many teams carry a stigma as being a "Big Ticket" team, there are other variables such as newly acquired players and marquee matchups can impact a team's average ticket price as well. With the addition of Johnny Manziel to the Browns, the franchise saw a 2013 average ticket price of approximately $100 jump up to $146.31. If you are looking to get a great deal on some of the biggest games of the 2014-15 NFL season buying early is always a good rule of thumb, as the demand/price is generally still fairly low.
Some key matchups of the year include Week 1's "Revenge of the Fail Mary" at CenturyLink Field between the Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks, the Cowboys visit to MetLife Stadium for the classic Dallas vs. New York game, and Week 13's bitter rivalry between the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks at the newly constructed Levi's Stadium.
Ticket prices based on averages as of July 10, 2014
The game was awesome, the seats were awesome, and I will use you guys again, thank you very much.Mark - Casper, WY

Rated 5 out of 5�by Brenda Fast Delivery Thanks for a great buying experience. Product is true to size, accurate in description and delivered in a speedy fashion. Thanks Dicks June 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Classyguy Great!! Love these shoes! Had them for a year now and they are still going strong with medium wear while in college. They are also extremely comfortable but run a little big so order down a half size or go true to size. I was never a big fan of the normal tan or brown colored Sperrys so I bought these grey ones. They are so classy and have gotten tons of compliments. Definitely worth the purchase!! October 10, 2014

America's Next Top Model
Stalker Alert: Tyra Spotted Bowling and Eating Junk Food In NYC
Well, the ANTM host wasn't quite indulging in fried Oreos, but she was spotted noshing on pretzel dippers and chicken bites at Lucky Strike Lanes and Lounge Manhattan a couple of weeks ago. Banks was reportedly rocking a casual jeans and top outfit, and just kicking back with her girlfriends. "Nobody bowled a strike, but it didn't seem to bother them," said a witness.
Does this mean ANTM Cycle 16 has wrapped already, or might they be shooting in New York, and Ty-Ty was just taking a breather? Either way, we hope she enjoyed those chicken bites.

We have over 25,000 recipes in our Epicurious database; they are all professionally developed and tested and most come from the impeccable sources of Bon Appetit and Gourmet, although a growing number are Web-exclusive recipes Epicurious commissioned from the world's top cookbook authors and chefs. (There are, of course, almost 25,000 recipes in our member database, delicious homey recipes from people across the world.)
I cook from both databases about three or four times a week, choosing fast, easy recipes on weeknights and more intensive ones on weekends. Friday night I whipped up Fast White-Bean Stew from Gourmet, inspired by the 29 reviews, all of whom said they would definitely make it again and most of whom gave it four forks. It was delicious and ready in about 10 minutes. I didn't have ham, so I followed the suggestion made by a Bellaire, Texas cook, and substituted tofu instead, and it worked perfectly. Saturday night I made Bon Appetit's Three-Cheese Lasagna with Italian Sausage, which has 396 reviews, 92% of whom would happily make the four-fork dish again.
This is one reviewer who will definitely make both of these recipes again.

A subtractive color model explains the mixing of paints, dyes, inks, and natural colorants to create a range of colors, where each such color is caused by the mixture absorbing some wavelengths of light and reflecting others. The color that an opaque object appears to have is based on what parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are reflected by it, or by what parts of the spectrum are not absorbed.
Subtractive color systems start with white light. Colored inks, paints or films placed between the viewer and the light source or reflective surface (such as white paper) subtract wavelengths from this white, and make a color.
Conversely, additive color systems start with no light (black). Light sources add wavelengths to make a color. In either an additive or a subtractive system, three primary colors are needed to match humans' trichromatic color vision (caused by the three types of cone cells in the eye).
In most color printing, the primary ink colors used are cyan, magenta, and yellow. Cyan is the complement of red, meaning that cyan acts like a filter that absorbs red. The amount of cyan applied to a paper will control how much red will show. Magenta is the complement of green, and yellow the complement of blue. Combinations of different amounts of the three inks can produce a wide range of colors; this is how artwork reproductions are mass-produced, though for various reasons a black ink is usually used as well. This mixture is called CMYK.
RYB is a historical set of subtractive primary colors. It is primarily used in art and art education, particularly painting. It predates modern scientific color theory.
RYB make up the primary color triad in a standard color wheel. The secondary colors VOG also make up another triad. Triads are formed by 3 equidistant colors on a particular color wheel.
The RYB primary colors became the foundation of 18th century theories of color vision as the fundamental sensory qualities blended in the perception of all physical colors and equally in the physical mixture of pigments or dyes. These theories were enhanced by 18th-century investigations of a variety of purely psychological color effects, in particular the contrast between "complementary" or opposing hues produced by color afterimages and in the contrasting shadows in colored light. These ideas and many personal color observations were summarized in two founding documents in color theory: the Theory of Colors (1810) by the German poet and government minister Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and The Law of Simultaneous Color Contrast (1839) by the French industrial chemist Michel-Eugène Chevreul.

COULD the private space pioneer Burt Rutan end up building the successor to the space shuttle? Rutan, who last month won the $10 million X prize for flying the first private rocket into space, is part of a consortium competing to build a prototype of the vehicle. And last week, their odds of winning improved dramatically.
In September, NASA awarded $3 million contracts to eight groups, including Rutan's, to plan a new "crew exploration vehicle" for future trips to the moon and Mars. Later next year, NASA plans to award contracts to build two prototypes. Following a "fly-off" in 2008, one of these will be picked for the moon-Mars mission.
But last week it emerged that few of the entrants actually want the job. The American aerospace companies Northrop Grumman and Orbital Sciences have both said they would like to take part, but only as subcontractors. Meanwhile, two other entrants ...

BAGHDAD: Gunmen killed 10 people in Iraq, including five soldiers near the main Sunni protest camp west of Baghdad, the latest in a wave of violence that has raised fears the country faces a new round of sectarian bloodshed.
The attack on the army intelligence soldiers in the former insurgent stronghold of Ramadi drew a quick response from Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, whose Shiite-led government has been the target of rising Sunni anger over perceived mistreatment. The attackers stopped a vehicle carrying the soldiers near the protest camp, prompting a gunbattle that left the five soldiers dead and two of the attackers wounded, police officials said.
Al-Maliki vowed his government would not keep silent regarding the killing of the soldiers. Iraqi officials have repeatedly claimed that insurgent groups, such as al-Qaida in Iraq and supporters of former Iraqi leader Saddam regime have infiltrated Sunni demonstrations.
"I call upon the peaceful protesters to expel the criminals targeting military and police," al-Maliki said in a statement posted on his official website.
Authorities announced a curfew in the whole province of Anbar. They also gave the protest organizers in Ramadi, the provincial capital, a 24-hours deadline to hand over the gunmen responsible for killing the soldiers or face a "firm response," said Maj. Gen. Mardhi Mishhin al-Mahalawi, the army's Anbar operations chief.
Members of Muslim Sunni minority have been rallying for the past four months in several Iraqi cities to protest what they describe as unfair treatment by al-Maliki's government.
Tensions spiked earlier this week when fighting broke out in the northern town of Hawija during a security crackdown on a protest encampment. That provoked a series of clashes nationwide that left more than 170 people dead over the past five days.
Gunmen also opened fire on a checkpoint manned by government-allied Sunni fighters, killing five of them, near the city of Tikrit, 130 kilometers (80 miles) north of Baghdad.
The militiamen, known as Sahwa, are among those who joined forces with U.S. troops to fight al-Qaida during the Iraq war. Since then, the group has been a target for Sunni insurgents who consider its members to be traitors.
Hospital officials confirmed the casualties. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.

It may seem best in the moment to burn everyone around you after you just got fired, but take a deep breath. Maintaining professionalism will ease the inevitable pain of losing a job but keep you chances of getting a new one the same. Alan Poulson Photography/Shutterstock
The uptake: Let's face it – walking out the door quietly and graciously after being fired is not usually the easiest thing to do. You never know when you might have to work with your former coworkers again, and you certainly don't want your actions on your last day getting in the way of your next job.
What's one major NO you suggest people avoid when they learn they're being let go?
Don't make a scene
"Take a deep breath and walk out of the office building (if you work in one) to compose yourself. Do not speak to anyone until you feel you can do so in a civil manner. Then, refrain from exhibiting any overt negativity until your last day. You never know when you might have to work with these people again, and you want to keep your reputation intact."—Alexandra Levit / Inspiration at Work
Don't name names
"Every company, family and marriage has dirty laundry in its closet. Airing the dirty details of inner workings makes you look more like a scorned schoolchild and less like a valiant hero who is graciously stepping aside. Save the closed-door gossip, office politics stories and you-wouldn't-believe-it moments for your friends over beers; even then, make sure you look around the bar first!"—Kim Kaupe / ZinePak
Don't bash the company
"Things happen, and people get let go all the time. Make your departure a professional one; you never know when you might need a reference or even a job from an old employer."—Andrew Schrage / Money Crashers Personal Finance
Don't cry
"That might sound harsh, but don't let emotions get the better of you. A negative emotional reaction in the workplace never leads to a good thing. Put on a poker face, say your goodbyes and walk out."—Anson Sowby / Battery Productions
Don't give excuses
"There's no room for excuses or pointing fingers. Leave in such a way that they talk about your gracious exit just as much — or more — than the actual failure. Andrew Mason is definitely a great example of this."—Shahzil (Shaz) Amin / Blue Track Media
The Young Entrepreneur Council (YEC) is an invite-only organization comprised of the world's most promising young entrepreneurs. In partnership with Citi, YEC recently launched StartupCollective, a free virtual mentorship program that helps millions of entrepreneurs start and grow businesses.

Last week London's Merchant Taylor Hall was alive with the sound of whisky. A harmonious melody of fruit, spice, peat, malt, ice and wood filled the air at Johnnie Walker's decadent multi-sensory experience - Symphony in Blue - an event designed to celebrate the cardinal flavours of their most treasured blend.
When it comes to whisky, we like to keep things simple. Neat, on the rocks, or mixed with coke - that's how we know and love it. New York Magazine's food blog Grub Street echoed this recently when it described flavoured whisky as 'The Beginning of The End' and filed it under Desecrations. I mean, why try to fix something which isn't broken?
A sense of value is a funny thing. Good value definitely doesn't always mean cheap. This'll be plainly obvious to all of us having bought a cheaper alternative to only find it break on first use. It however, also certainly doesn't mean the most expensive - there are plenty of products on the market that are simply there to exploit those with more money than sense.
I'm writing this in the very pub that I first experienced a real Burns supper. As a child, I'd seen the grown-ups drinking copious amounts of whisky, and heard my Dad trying to do justice to the words of Scotland's famous son - but it wasn't until I was 18 (well, a little younger, but let's not go there...) that I heard Robert Burns' words...
Could it be true that humans are hard-wired to seek mind altering substances such as caffeine, tobacco, psychedelic drugs, and alcohol? Alcohol is and was the most easily available intoxicant and historically different cultures throughout the world started drinking independently with no knowledge of the others.
When it comes to video production, advertising, marketing and branding there are certain tropes and ideas that tend to get banded around and eventually overused. Much like in the fashion industry when an idea can be so good and so attention grabbing that it will be lifted from obscurity and the alternative into the moronic ubiquity of the mainstream.
Many people's initial perception of Scotch whisky is that it is still very much an (older) man's game. When I first stepped into this role I remember feeling very aware that I was a woman in a man's world and I knew I was taking on a big responsibility. Me, and my nose, are overall responsible for ensuring consistency across 10 million bottles of whisky a year.
'Whisky Galore!' the wartime film and story of the people of Eriskay seizing upon the whisky cargo of a nearby shipwreck, has forged headlines and cultural associations of the drink, since it hit our screens almost 65 years ago. And the associations continue to this day. Last week, one lucky buyer paid £12,050 for two bottles of that now infamous cargo.

Legal BAC Limits By State
BAC Definition and State Legal Laws
Blood alcohol content (BAC), also called Blood Alcohol Concentration, is most commonly used as a metric of alcohol intoxication for legal or medical purposes. Blood alcohol content is usually expressed as a percentage of alcohol (generally in the sense of ethanol) in the blood. For instance, a BAC of 0.10 means that 0.10% (one tenth of one percent) of a person's blood, by volume, is alcohol. All 50 states have now set .08% BAC as the legal limit for Driving Under the Influence. For commercial drivers, a BAC of .04% can result in a DUI conviction nationwide. For those under 21, there is a zero tolerance limit―any amount of alcohol is grounds for a DUI arrest.
What if you get arrested for DUI?
Should you ever find yourself faced with a DUI arrest, your first step should be to hire the services of a DUI attorney. DUI attorneys and DWI lawyers are highly trained in the DUI and DWI laws of your state, and many times they can lessen your fines or penalties. Being convicted of driving under the influence can impact your life in ways you may not be aware of, including: loss of employment (and the inability to be employed in certain jobs in the future), higher insurance rates, serious financial setbacks, personal and family embarrassment. You may also have that conviction on your driving records for years―if not forever. Whether called a DUI or a DWI in your state, DMV.org shows you what the penalties will be for driving under the influence and how it will affect your driving privilege. They will also lead you to attorneys who specialize in handling drunk driving cases in your state, in case you are looking for legal representation.

I am going through a difficult season right now-- "caretakers' burnout"--and I have been seeking God desperately. Thankfully, God's Word is still true--You will seek me and you will find me when you seek me with all your heart. (Jer. 29, I think)
These past few weeks I've been crying out to God. At first my cry was just for Him to show up and fix everything because nothing in my life was as it should be. Then my cry changed and I prayed for Him to show up and fix me. I have been praying and listening. I have been reading and studying God's Word, and I have begun to see that I need professional help so I can deal with things that happened in my childhood which are rising to the surface because of the stress I've been under taking care of my husband and parents. My distorted thinking about what I should be able to handle begins back there. I started seeing a psychologist last week and I am hopeful that with her counseling and my feeding on God's Word and listening to His Spirit in me, I will reclaim order from the chaos that is trying to define my life right now.
The hardest part is my not sleeping at night, so I don't always make it to church. I've missed more Sundays than I've attended these past two months. The legalist in me had a fit recently. What will my church friends think? My testimony will be ruined. But God is helping me get over trying to appear to be perfect. As I stated in a recent post, only Jesus is perfect.
I also debated whether to share all of this with you, but I decided I needed to be authentic with you all, too. This is me. This is where I am at right now.
As I get the help I need from the psychologist, as I lean on God's Word and His Spirit living in me, as I make adjustments in my thinking and learn to relate authentically to others and to walk in grace and truth, as I seek God and allow Him time to heal and bind up my wounded heart, I am going to cling to the promise of God in Joshua 1:9 "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." (NIV) He has never let me down yet. To God be the glory!
ceejay said:
Hugs to you 4Him! I know how you feel, and I can totally relate to where you are. Although I have not had to care for my parents (yet) I have spent many times in the last 25 years caring for my husband through various long-term, and chronic, illnesses.
These days he and I are reading the Psalms together. This morning we read:
"But you, O Lord ... how long?
Return, Lord, rescue my soul.
Save me in your merciful love,
for in death no one remembers you;
from the grave, who can give you praise?
I am exhausted with my groaning;
every night I drench my pillow with tears;
I bedew my bed with weeping.
My eye wastes away with grief;
I have grown old surrounded by my foes.
Leave me, all you who do evil;
for the Lord has heard my weeping.
The Lord has heard my plea;
the Lord will accept my prayer...." (Ps. 6)
And then
"For the oppressed let the Lord be a stronghold,
a stronghold in times of distress
Those who know your name will trust you:
you will never forsake those who seek you."
(Ps. 9)
And finally:
"The Lord will give strength to his people,
the Lord will bless is people with peace."
(Ps. 29)
And that is just today!
Oh Joanie - you're doing the right stuff! Praying, and then discerning what steps you can take to help yourself as God does the mysterious healing work.
We do NOT have to be perfect. Not for Him, and not for others! This is the stress we put on ourselves, and the good news is we can (eventually) stop putting it on ourselves!!
I keep you in my prayers and wish you all the best!
Be gentle with yourself -
Much love,
tsuki said:
I'm so glad you decided to share with us. You've always been there for us. You're going through so much that it would be such a waste of emotional resources to portray perfection. Don't worry about what other people at church may think; chances are, they understand. I don't believe that your absence from the house of God will discredit your testimony. He is with you and both you and HE know just how strong your faith and testimony to his love is. You share it here with us and we take it away feeling the strength and love that your words provide.
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
—2 Corinthians 12:9-10
I have you and your dear family in my prayers . . . hugs

The BJP may not see a windfall in the region, but its fortunes are set to improve.
Even as five electoral constituencies in Assam and one in Tripura went to the polls on April 7, with more lined up on April 9, 12 and 24, the Northeast has caught an unusual amount of attention from the national media. This not only underscores better connectivity of the region with mainland India which makes the "live telecast" of immediate electoral campaigns and events compelling, it also shows how the region, which accounts for 25 Lok Sabha seats, has been transformed into an important electoral battleground by the compulsions of coalition politics.
Not surprisingly, Narendra Modi, the BJP's prime ministerial candidate, has already made three rounds of campaigning in the region between February 8 and March 30. Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi of the Congress have had one extensive tour each in the region so far, during this time.
These campaigns highlighted the contrasting styles and strategies of Modi and the Gandhis in as much as they highlighted their similarities. Modi and the Gandhis have laboriously concentrated their campaigns in constituencies where their strengths are being tested, namely, Silchar and Pasighat for the BJP and Guwahati and Lakhimpur for the Congress. Unlike the above, Sikkim and Tripura did not figure prominently in their campaigns, which suggested their acceptance of the fait accompli: given that the Sikkim Democratic Front and the CPM, respectively, have an unassailable electoral hold over these two states, neither the BJP nor the Congress is likely to make inroads.
While Modi made a serious effort to project himself as an efficient and decisive leader with a pan-India appeal and showed his determination to wipe out the "corrupt" and "inefficient" Congress, the Gandhis underscored the autocratic and divisive leadership style of Modi. They also emphasised the longstanding contribution of the Congress to inclusive development, secularism and decentralisation in the region and beyond. Reportedly, Modi's theatrical speeches in Imphal, Guwahati, Silchar and Pasighat have not only shored up enthusiasm among the conservative Hindu segments of the populations, but also boosted the morale of party workers, particularly in the three states of Manipur, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh.
Taking this lead, most political analysts focus their attention on the possible impact these high-profile campaigns might have on the Northeast's electoral politics in general and on immediate electoral outcomes in particular. While the query is a valid one, it is equally important to underline the diversity of issues and conditions prevailing in the Northeast electoral scene that might obscure the tangible effect(s) these campaigns have on immediate electoral outcomes.
At the outset, it must …continued »

Game-by-game look at Johnny Manziel's season
Johnny Manziel's journey to fame began with little fanfare in a home loss to Florida, but the freshman QB became a living legend after A&M upset No. 1 Alabama at Tuscaloosa

Sept. 8
Florida 20, Texas A&M 17
The Aggies' offense clicked early in the team's SEC debut at Kyle Field behind Manziel, whose last game action came in high school nearly two years before. He completed 16 of 20 passes for 141 yards in the first half and rushed for 41 as A&M built a 10-point lead over the Gators. But after totaling 269 yards of offense at the half, the Aggies gained only 65 the rest of the way.
Oct. 20
LSU 24, Texas A&M 19
The Aggies led 12-0 late in the first half when the Tigers' Jalen Collins snagged a Manziel pass for the first of three Manziel interceptions - in one of his two worst games (along with Mississippi). Another freshman - kicker Taylor Bertolet - didn't help A&M's cause by missing seven points worth of kicks in the five-point loss at home.
Sept. 29
Texas A&M 58, Arkansas 10
An offensive outburst fueled by Manziel finally quieted the Aggies' steady reminders of their five second-half collapses from last season. Manziel, in his fourth college start, set an SEC record for total yards in a game with 557. Archie Manning of Mississippi (1969) and Rohan Davey of LSU (2001) held the previous mark with 540.
Nov. 10
Texas A&M 29, Alabama 24
"Johnny Football" increased his odds of becoming the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy by completing 24 of 31 passes for 253 yards and while rushing for a team-high 92 yards on 18 carries against the Tide's vaunted defense. The Aggies converted seven of eight third downs in the first half while defeating a top-ranked team on the road for the first time in school history.
Sept. 15
Texas A&M 48, SMU3
Manziel owns a mouthful of monikers, and teammate Uzoma Nwachukwu added to the nickname knapsack, dubbing Manziel "Captain Amazing." Manziel lit up the Mustangs for 294 passing yards, four TD passes, 124 rushing yards and two rushing TDs on the road. He even sat out the fourth quarter, having set A&M's freshman record for passing yards and touchdowns.
Oct. 27
Texas A&M 63, Auburn 21
Manziel inserted himself back into the Heisman hype with 350 total yards in a little more than a half of action. He threw for 260 yards and rushed for 90, including three touchdowns on the ground of 6, 2 and 20 yards. He did so on the same hallowed ground where John Heisman, the trophy's namesake, coached from 1895-99.
Oct. 6
Texas A&M 30, Mississippi 27
The Aggies trailed 27-17 midway through the fourth before scoring on a 29-yard TD run by Manziel and Ryan Swope's over-the-shoulder snag in the left corner of the end zone on a perfect pass. Much of the rest of the night was imperfect for Manziel, who looked like a freshman in his SEC road debut. Manziel had half of A&M's turnovers with two interceptions and a fumble.
Nov. 17
Texas A&M 47, Sam Houston St. 28
When Heisman voters scanned stats to weigh Manziel as a candidate, they found one that set him apart. PATs: 0-1. For fun, Kevin Sumlin trotted out his do-it-all QB to kick a point-after in the second half against the Bearkats, and he booted it wide right. He became the first freshman in NCAA history and fifth overall to reach 3,000 yards passing and 1,000 rushing in a season.
Sept. 22
Texas A&M 70, South Carolina St. 14
Manziel lit up the Bulldogs for 174 passing yards and three touchdowns while adding 78 rushing yards and two touchdowns on the ground - all in the first half at Kyle Field. The Aggies hit the 70-point mark for the first time since a 73-10 victory over Baylor in 2003 - despite Manziel wearing a visor by halftime.
Nov. 3
Texas A&M 38, Mississippi St. 13
Manziel continued making his case as a Heisman Trophy candidate with 440 total yards - or 110 more than the Bulldogs squad. Manziel rushed for a game-high 129 yards and completed 30 of 36 passes for 311 yards at Starkville. The Aggies piled up 693 yards of offense - their school-record eighth consecutive game with at least 400 yards.
Oct. 13
Texas A&M 59, Louisiana Tech 57
Manziel, who by this point had become a Heisman Trophy candidate, put the Aggies up 59-44 with a 72-yard touchdown sprint with 2:04 left against the Bulldogs in a game that had been pushed back to October because of Hurricane Isaac. Manziel broke his own SEC record with 576 total yards, including 181 on the ground.
Nov. 24
Texas A&M 59, Missouri 29
Manziel boosted his Heisman stock with a strong showing in the Aggies' regular-season finale. He finished 32-of-44 for 372 yards, with three passing TDs and an interception. He also ran for two more scores to go with 67 yards on 12 carries. In the process, he set the SEC single-season total yards record after overcoming a knee injury early in the game.

Ready, Set, Collaboratively Design a 3-D Printed Rocket
Crowdsourced space technology company DIYRockets, 3-D design collaboration platform Sunglass, and 3-D printing marketplace Shapeways are working together to get people excited about something that's inherently pretty exciting: 3-D printed rocket engines.
The three are kicking off a contest today with $10,000 in prizes, plus free printing, for the best open source designs, to be judged by inventor Dean Kamen and others.
This will be announced tomorrow in Austin at SXSW. There's actually a surprising amount of content about space exploration at SXSW this year, including a keynote by Elon Musk, and at least six sessions about NASA.

ALC Meeting
Academic Leadership Council Minutes
November 4, 2011
NOTE: At times, issues of confidentiality may require that some items discussed in meetings be excluded from these minutes.
ALC MEMBERS: Austin Asgill, Tom Ball, Bill Barnes, Richard Bennett, Renee Butler, David Caudill, Lance Crimm, Tom Currin, Venu Dasigi, Ameen Farooq, Pam Frinzi, Alan Gabrielli, Chan Ham, Steven Hamrick, Bob Homer, Ruston Hunt, Sonny Kim, Andrew McMorran, Joyce Mills, Thomas Nelson, Julie Newell, Mark Nunes, Ilseok Oh, Jeff Orr, Nikki Palamiotis, Phil Patterson, Dawn Ramsey, Jeffrey Ray, Nancy Reichert, Han Reichgelt, Ronny Richardson, Richard Ruhala, Becky Rutherfoord, Khalid Siddiqi, George Stickel, Denise Stover, Mark Sugalski, John Sweigart, Zvi Szafran, Andy Wang, and Tim Zeigler
MEMBERS ABSENT: Richard Bennett, Renee Butler, David Caudill, Lance Crimm, Tom Currin , Ameen Farooq, Pam Frinzi, Steven Hamrick, Ronny Richardson, Richard Ruhala, Han Reichgelt, Jeffrey Ray, Becky Rutherfoord, George Stickel, Denise Stover, Tim Zeigler
GUESTS: Sylvia Carson, Stephanie Coleman, David Stone for David Caudill, Steve Kitchen, Max North for Ronny Richardson
Item 1. Updates
Dr. Szafran updated the Council on the following:
- Stephanie Coleman – was introduced and explained that she visited the ALC today to talk about the faculty web page feature that will become available in January. Each faculty member on campus will have access to OmniUpdater and will use a template to create their own web pages.
- Steve Kitchen – was introduced and talked about the new space management policy that became effective Summer, 2011. The forms must be signed by the Deans Office and VPAA's Office. Once requests for new space reach the VPAA's Office, the project will be reviewed by the Deans Council or the Academic Leadership Council for prioritization and will then be forwarded to Steve Kitchen in Facilities for review. Facilities will work with the originator of the project to cost it out and proceed from there.
- RACAA – one of the topics at the recent RACAA meeting was the new process for new degree proposals at System Office. The System Office will not be accepting any new program proposals until January 1, 2012, but will continue to review those already submitted. There are a number of complex issues to be worked out. They have also gone back to the two-step approval process and want to know the cost impact on facilities, etc. for any new program. If the first step of this process passes, they will ask for a full proposal.
- TCSG Articulations – also a topic at the RACAA meeting was the proposed expansion of the mini core and how it may impact articulations with the TCSG institutions. This may cause some issues with transfer courses both in the USG and the TSCG institutions, especially with the overlays.
- Shared Services – Szafran has been appointed to the Shared Services Committee and asked that anyone with issues or concerns bring them to him. It appears we may be staying with ADP but no final decision has been made yet.
- Online Degree Programs – being pushed forward from several directions as a way to save space on campuses. All courses need to be listed on Georgia on My Line and the SREB website. Universities teaching on-line courses must satisfy the laws in every state in which they have students. David Stone needs to know about every program being taught on line. A new learning management system, "Desire to Learn," is in the works and will be implemented in three phases and has options such as portfolios for an extra cost.
Item 2. Complete College Georgia
Dr. Szafran distributed an executive summary on the new Higher Education Completion Plan being proposed by the USG to the Governor. The goal is to increase the number of students completing post high school education by 250,000 (to 60% of Georgia citizens) by 2020. Points in the plan include:
- Improve high school graduation rates
- Prepare high school teachers better
- Make high school graduates college ready
- Work closely with the technical colleges
- Prior learning assessment
- Keep tuition low
- Formula in formula funding will be adjusted to reflect graduation rates
The topic was opened for discussion. Discussion points included:
- Graduation rates must be improved
- We'll be called upon to do this or fiscally it's punitive if we do not
- This "push" is being felt nationally.
- The number of students going into engineering or architecture is lower today and increasing for business majors
- It would help if entering students planned for the future
Item 3. Center for 21st Century Universities
A Center for 21st Century Universities has opened at Georgia Tech, and is implementing several interesting ideas, relative to how Universities will look in the future. Issues facing higher education include:
- Other nations (e.g. India and China) are planning to increase their number of colleges and graduates significantly
- Bachelor's degrees may be offered for as little as $5,000 online
- Universities are the incumbents in higher education. However, in other industries, many incumbents have become mere "shadows" of their former selves, or have failed entirely (i.e., Borders in the bookselling arena)
- Georgia Tech has instituted "tech bursts" as a way of capturing how students lean, and as a way to help other students "learn better". We should do something similar.
In the discussion that followed, the following points were raised:
- We should ask ourselves what a 21st century course looks like and then reward that kind of activity.
- We need to transition from being in front of the class to being the advisor to the side of the class.
- There was a consensus to bring the Center director, Richard DeMillo to campus.
Item 4. New Business
Meeting adjourned at 4:30 P.M.
