Academies financial assurance
This guide helps academy trusts to understand and comply with the financial accountability framework and assurance arrangements.
Academy trusts are independent charitable companies. They are also classified by the Office for National Statistics as central government public sector bodies. While academies are responsible for their own financial management, they are subject to public standards of accountability. The Department for Education, rather than the Charity Commission, is the principal regulator of academies and is responsible for overseeing their compliance with the financial accountability framework and with charity law.
Education Funding Agency (EFA) oversees the arrangements that provide Parliament with assurance that academies operate to high standards of propriety and regularity. It aims to keep a reasonable balance between academy trusts' independence and the need to account for public money, and it has worked with a steering group of academy trusts to achieve a position where the accountability requirements are satisfied while the administrative burden is minimised.
EFA has launched a series of online presentations and interactive webinars on the financial framework and completing your financial returns. You can now register for our 10 July webinars (11am for academies; 2pm for auditors).
The main components of the financial accountability framework and assurance arrangements are set out below.
Who this guide is for
This guide is for academy trust accounting officers, finance staff and trustees. Auditors of academy trust accounts may also find it helpful.
The Academies Financial Handbook
The Academies Financial Handbook sets out the basic financial management, control and reporting requirements that apply to academy trusts. It describes a financial framework for trusts that reflects their accountability to Parliament and the public, and the freedoms that they can exercise in their day-to-day business. Compliance with the handbook is a condition of an academy trust's funding agreement.
The handbook also describes the delegated financial authority levels that the Secretary of State for Education has given to academy trusts and the circumstances when trusts must seek the Secretary of State's consent.
The handbook is updated annually and comes into effect on 1 September each year. EFA developed the 2014 edition following extensive consultation across the sector through the academies finance and assurance steering group. It maintains the format introduced in 2012, with a focus on principles rather than detailed guidance.
The 2014 edition strengthens the requirements on academy trust governance, develops the principles when trading with connected parties, and introduces a requirement that a trust's register of interests captures all relevant business and pecuniary interests. The main changes are summarised on pages 5 to 8 of the handbook.
Trading with connected parties
Section 3.2 of the handbook sets out the principles academy trusts must adopt when trading with connected parties. Additional guidance on charging for overheads is below:
Overhead charges should be proportionate to the amount of work the supplier is doing for the trust. For example, if 10% of the connected supplier's activity is for the trust, then that trust should pick up no more than 10% of the supplier's total overheads. However, if at the end of the academy financial year, the charges for overheads recouped by the supplier exceed the total the supplier paid for overheads, the supplier should reduce the charges to the trust in the next academy financial year. This will ensure:
- that the trust is complying fully with the 'not for profit' principles set out in the handbook by paying no more than the proportionate sum for the services received
- that the supplier is not drawing inadvertent profits
Financial Management and Governance Self-Assessment (FMGS)
The FMGS is a short online self-assessment checklist that highlights the main requirements new academy trusts must have in place soon after opening. The requirements within the checklist apply from the date on which the funding agreement was signed, so trusts should ideally consider an FMGS before opening. It provides a simple way for you and EFA to gain assurance that your academy trust's financial management and governance arrangements meet these requirements.
As part of EFA's assurance programme, it may choose to visit your academy to review the evidence used to inform your self-assessment.
You will need to get your FMGS endorsed by your board of trustees or an appropriate delegated committee and submit it to EFA using the online form within 4 months of opening.
Alternatives to the FMGS
If you are joining an existing multi-academy trust which has previously prepared audited accounts and you plan to adopt the same financial management and governance arrangements, your accounting officer will need to confirm this on the online form. EFA will then seek assurance from the audited accounts received.
You may appoint an auditor to assess compliance with mandatory financial management and governance requirements. The report will need to be sent to EFA within 4 months of the academy opening, and you should let EFA know by completing the enquiry form linked at the end of the page.
The Academies Accounts Direction
The Academies Accounts Direction is the reference pack for academy trusts and their auditors to use when preparing and auditing financial statements for the accounting period ending on 31 August annually. It supplements the Academies Financial Handbook. In producing the Accounts Direction, EFA takes requirements set out by the Charity Commission in its Statement Of Recommended Practice (SORP) and translates them into a form applicable to academy trusts.
The Accounts Direction outlines the requirements set out in academy trusts' funding agreements with the Secretary of State where each academy trust must:
- prepare an annual report and financial statements to 31 August
- have these accounts audited annually by independent registered auditors
- produce a statement of regularity, propriety and compliance and obtain a regularity assurance report on this statement from the auditor
- submit the audited accounts and auditor's regularity assurance report to the EFA by 31 December
- file the accounts with the Companies Registrar as required under the Companies Act 2006
- publish the audited accounts on the trust's website by 31 January.
New academy trusts incorporated on or after 1 March may, if they wish, defer preparation of their first accounts until 31 August the following year. Trusts must contact EFA if they intend to do this, or if they intend to prepare dormant accounts.
The Accounts Direction explains the elements you must include in your academy trust's annual report and financial statements and the accounting treatments required. It also provides a model format for the report and the financial statements and ensures consistency of treatment between academy trusts.
In addition to the audited financial statements, you will be required to submit financial returns to EFA annually. You can find out how to submit these in the detailed guide to academies financial returns.
Academy auditors
The National Audit Office (NAO), auditor of the department's group accounts which include academies' consolidated financial statements, has produced a set of group communications for academy auditors setting out in detail:
- the academy auditor's role in the department's group accounts
- NAO's expectations of academy auditors
- the risks of material misstatement in the group financial statements
Fraud and financial irregularities in academies
EFA has published resources to support academy trust accounting officers to manage their finances in a transparent and effective way, and to reduce the risk of fraud or financial irregularities. These include a list of generic indicators of potential fraud and a checklist to help you review your academy trust's arrangements for preventing, detecting and dealing with fraud should it occur.
As a starting point, you may wish to complete a self-assessment of your academy trust's financial controls using the questions posed in the 17 June 2013 letter to accounting officers from EFA Chief Executive Peter Lauener.
To reduce the risk of fraud you could consider the following actions:
- ensure anti-fraud and whistleblowing policies are in place and regularly update these and communicate them to staff
- conduct regular anti-fraud awareness training events for finance staff
- highlight to staff that they can also contact the EFA with any concerns of possible irregularity or fraud
- management communications to pursue identified incidents of fraud
- ensure your financial controls are regularly assessed and are well designed/implemented
- ensure that there is appropriate segregation of duties in your controls
- review your processes for references and background checks on new employees
- scrutinise significant business transactions and personal relationships to avoid possible conflicts of interest
- install a physical security system to protect your academy's assets

Diary of a Mad Law Professor
Civil Society
"Why do you care so much?" said a white friend to me during a debate about suspect profiling. "Don't take it so personally--the police aren't after you in the black middle class. If you need something to be angry about, get angry at the young black males who commit the sort of crimes that make it so hard for the rest of you."
There are any number of rejoinders to comments like this. I suppose I could do a disingenuous little reversal about "the young white males" wilding in suburbia; I suppose I could point out that his comment turned an issue of civil liberties and state force into a matter of moral uplift--not that I have anything against moral crusading, but it's not exactly a substitute for constitutional protections, restrained use of force and good policing. But, bottom line, I'm really tired of being told that I take things too personally.
"The truth is," interjected another friend, who is black, "that it is personal. Black middle-class citizens are stopped much more frequently than anyone else in the middle class. Middle-class blacks are a bridge between the segregation that still keeps most black and white neighborhoods miles apart, not just physically but conceptually. Most of us arrivistes grew up in black neighborhoods. We know how differently you're treated when in public with white friends and when you're alone or with black friends. We live strung between the annoyingly contradictory projections dumped upon us by the larger society: (a) that you know nothing about the privations of the inner city because you drive a BMW, and (b) that you should understand why driving a BMW marks you as someone who is most likely a common thief."
Yes, I think, this might indeed be a tad personal. But the comments of both friends helped remind me that just because it's personal doesn't necessarily mean it's any less a matter of principle. I think of yet another friend, who was arrested in Chicago a few weeks ago. Deborah is someone I've known since we were students in law school, some twenty-five years ago. These days she's a law professor, a commercial law expert and the co-author of a textbook on contract law. Deborah was sitting in her car at a gas station when out on the street she saw police searching a car and patting down two girls and two boys who appeared to be Latino. As she put it, "My son, who wears his hair in dreadlocks, was stopped on his way back to school after spring break because the light over his license plate was out. I didn't know why these teenagers had been stopped, but it couldn't hurt to sit there, on private property, and just watch." But one of the policewomen saw her looking, came over and ordered her to leave.
"I said very politely, 'I'd rather not.'"
A second cruiser was summoned, and Deborah was taken from her car, handcuffed, driven down to the station and chained to a bench for hours. She was finally released on her own recognizance at 1 am, with three charges lodged against her. The first was failing to wear a seatbelt. ("The car was stopped," she protests.) The second was described on the citation as "obedience to police"--in big block printing as though to underscore the heart of the matter--followed in parentheses by the actual charge, "blocking exit to gas station." The third claim was that Deborah had failed to register her address with the Illinois Secretary of State. (At the time, Deborah, a New York resident, was teaching at a Chicago-area university for one semester. The statute in question--who knew?--requires anyone whose current address doesn't match the one on her driver's license to register within ten days.)
Deborah, like me a child of the civil rights movement, came of age in a time when court-watching and arrest-witnessing were considered civic responsibilities as important as voting. "I tried to explain to the officers why I wanted to stay and watch. I guess I badly underestimated the touchiness of the police on this subject. But I hardly thought I would be arrested just for having an opinion."
Deborah paused as she told me this story, then laughed. "Oh, and there was this really strange moment when the arresting policewoman was filling out one of several attempted reports of the incident that she completed and then ripped up. Finally, she turned to me and asked with exasperation, 'What are you?'"
Deborah has one of those visages that suggest an ethnically and racially diverse range of, shall we say, political possibility. "African-American," she answered. The officer, who appeared to be white, seemed incredulous and grew even more annoyed.
"Why do you care what happens to Latinos?" she snapped.
With that, Deborah said, "I decided that silence was the more prudent course."
About two weeks after Deborah's arrest, the Supreme Court, in its 6-to-3 decision in Chicago v. Morales, struck down Chicago's broadly worded anti-loitering statute, which had allowed, as the New York Times concisely put it, "police to arrest anyone who, refusing an order to move on, remained 'in one place with no apparent purpose' in the presence of a suspected gang member."
It is good news, this holding, but I'm also a dissent-watcher, particularly when the minority is composed of consistently and radically conservative ideologues, whose numbers could grow if a Republican President were to be elected. So I paid close attention when dissenting Mr. Justice Antonin Scalia revealed how very "personally" he too takes all this. From the bench he declared: "I would gladly trade my right to loiter in the vicinity of a gang member in return for the liberation of my neighborhood in an instant."
Should Scalia's view ever become the law of the land (rather than just practice, however prevalent), perhaps then it will become clear what is at stake when we do not care about Latinos, about poor African-Americans or about minorities who may one day find themselves in the majority. The "right to loiter" is also the right to stand in one place and just be; it is the right to look and listen and witness. When we "trade" away that right, we effectively relinquish the ability to disagree in an orderly, political and public manner. If indeed Scalia's neighborhood is ever so "liberated," I hope that he--that we all--do not find ourselves regretting what has been purchased by such loss.

Oracle Communications Unified Communications Suite Upgrade Guide
Version 7 Update 1
This information describes the best practices for upgrading prior versions of Communications Suite (formerly known as Sun Java Communications Suite) to Oracle Communications Unified Communications Suite. (For a list of those individual product version numbers see Oracle Communications Unified Communications Suite Products and Components.)
- About This Information
- About the Communications Suite Upgrade Process
- Defining Your Target Communications Suite Deployment
- Determining the Sequence of Product Upgrades
- Upgrading Messaging Server
- Upgrading Calendar Server for CALDAV Clients (Calendar Server 7)
- Upgrading Calendar Server in Solaris OS
- Upgrading Instant Messaging Server
- Upgrading Convergence
- Upgrading Indexing and Search Service

- Upgrading Connector for Microsoft Outlook for Oracle Communications Unified Communications Suite
About This Information
In this information, the terms products, product components, and shared components are used. Products are items such as Messaging Server, Calendar Server, Delegated Administrator, and Instant Messaging Server. Product components are functional parts of the products. For example, Messaging Server has message stores, relays, and messaging multiplexors. Calendar Server has front-end and back-end servers. Shared resources are software components that are not part of Communications Suite or other support products, but are required for Communications Suite products to operate. Examples include Network File System (NFS), Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL), and Java software.
About the Communications Suite Upgrade Process
Communications Suite consists of a number of individual products, product components, and shared resources. Unfortunately, Communications Suite does not provide a single system utility to upgrade all Communications Suite components at the same time. Therefore, upgrading a Communications Suite deployment consists of upgrading one component at a time and one computer at a time, by using the component-specific upgrade procedures described in the following sections. Some upgrade procedures are simple, such as applying a patch to the existing software. Other procedures are more complex and require considerably more planning and preparation. Proper upgrading starts with knowing what products you want to upgrade and the order in which to upgrade them.
Defining Your Target Communications Suite Deployment
A successful upgrade depends on identifying both your current deployment and your target deployment. By defining your target deployment, you identify which products and components you need to upgrade and which ones can remain as is.
The three most common Communications Suite upgrade scenarios include:
- Upgrade for a product feature. You want a feature from a specific product and you are only interested in upgrading the products and components that are necessary to support that feature.
In this scenario, you upgrade the desired product as described in the upgrade information for that product.
- Upgrade to use Convergence (formerly known as Sun Convergence). You only want to upgrade the products and components that are necessary to use Convergence.
See Product Version Compatibility Requirements for Convergence 2 for the minimum versions of products that run Convergence.
- Upgrade all products and components to the latest release. You want to run the latest versions of all Communications Suite products and components.
Upgrade each product and component individually, host by host. See Requirements for Communications Suite.
When you have chosen the scenario that best fits your situation, you can determine what products to upgrade.
Installing only shared components: To install just the shared components for a component product, launch the Communications Suite installer, then prefix your product selection with a tilde (~). For example, to install only the shared components for Messaging Server 64-bit, at the Product Selection prompt, type ~1. You can type multiple selections, separating each of your entries with a comma.
Determining the Sequence of Product Upgrades
The order in which you update the Communications Suite products and versions can be critical. Use the following guidelines to determine the sequence for upgrading Communications Suite products:
- To upgrade a pre-6.3 Messaging Server, first you must upgrade the message store components to version 6.3 or later, then you can upgrade the webmail server (previously called MEM) to version 6.3 or later.
The following sections describe how to upgrade each of the Communications Suite products.
Upgrading Messaging Server
Upgrading Messaging Server in a High Availability (HA) Environment
See Upgrading to Messaging Server in an HA Environment.
Upgrading Calendar Server for CALDAV Clients (Calendar Server 7)
See Upgrading Calendar Server for CALDAV Clients (Calendar Server 7).
Upgrading Calendar Server in Solaris OS
See Calendar Server 6.3 Upgrade.
Upgrading Calendar Server in a High Availability (HA) Environment
See Upgrading Calendar Server 6.3 in an HA Environment.
Upgrading Instant Messaging Server
See Instant Messaging Upgrade.
Upgrading the Instant Messaging Server in a High Availability (HA) Environment
See Upgrading to Instant Messaging in an HA Environment.
Upgrading Convergence
To upgrade from Sun Convergence 1 Update 3 to Convergence 2, see Upgrading Convergence.
Upgrading Indexing and Search Service
See Upgrading Indexing and Search Service.
Upgrading Delegated Administrator for Oracle Communications Unified Communications Suite
See Delegated Administrator Upgrade.
Upgrading comm_dssetup.pl
Run the latest version of comm_dssetup.pl to prepare the schema, index, and data in your Directory Server to work with Messaging Server, Calendar Server, Instant Messaging, Delegated Administrator, or any products that depend on the Directory Server.
Run commpkg upgrade to upgrade comm_dssetup.pl, and then run perl comm_dssetup.pl. For upgrade details, see commpkg upgrade Usage.

James Ferragut, Published August 24 2013
Ferragut: Embrace, cherish nostalgia
That's where I got my hair cut when I was in junior high. The old images came back: the counter behind the barber's chairs cluttered with Vitalis, Brylcreem, Crew Cut Wax, scissors, razors and combs. I remembered trashy men's magazines, three chairs manned by stiff barbers; walking into the shop blinded by fogged glasses.
Then it was over and back to business.
That day I heard a story on NPR that began with former University of North Carolina professor Constantine Sedikides talking about his move to England's South Hampton University. Sedikides felt pangs of nostalgia – memories of friends, food, landscapes and smells of his former home in Chapel Hill.
One of his colleagues told Sedikides he must be depressed because he was living in the past. The doctor countered, "Not so, I live my life in forward … but thinking about my past gives my life continuity, makes me feel good about myself and gives me strength to move forward."
The conversation eventually inspired Sedikides to pioneer the scientific study of nostalgia, including a comprehensive project called "The South Hampton Nostalgia Scale." Clay Routledge of North Dakota State University and psychologists around the world helped Sedikides conduct experiments on adults.
Nostalgia, (nostos and algos in Greek) was coined by a 17th-century physician. It was believed soldiers' wallowing in memories, and their desire to return home from the front, was a mental disorder: depression, a "neurological disease of demonic cause." Nineteenth and 20th-century classifications included "immigrant psychosis" and "mentally repressive compulsive disorder."
But Sedikides' research found that nostalgia counteracts loneliness, boredom and anxiety. It makes people more generous and more tolerant. Couples feel closer and look happier when they share memories. On cold days or in cold rooms, people use nostalgia to feel warm. When people speak wistfully of the past, they become more optimistic, even inspired about the future. People who revel in nostalgia are better at dealing with death.
Regardless of race, culture or economic status, the foci of nostalgia are universal: friends, family, weddings, songs, travel, sunsets, school, food, entertainment, dating. Nostalgia can happen at least once a week, with half of us experiencing it three or four times a week.
Smell is a direct line to nostalgia. The science: "A smell can bring on a flood of memories and influence moods. Because the olfactory bulb is part of the brain's limbic system, an area so closely associated with memory and feeling that it's called the 'emotional brain,' smell can call up memories and powerful emotional responses instantaneously."
When you're young and you smell a new scent, you link it to an event, a person, a thing or a moment. Your brain forges a link between a smell and a memory, like associating chlorine with summers at the pool. When you encounter the smell again, the hard-wired link can elicit a memory or mood.
I'm a victim of nostalgia. I often "wax nostalgic." But my eyes are on the horizon in the pursuit of life's adventure. I don't listen to classic rock. Hell, I lived it when it was real. Golden oldies? I'll pass. And my love and passion for The Beatles is rooted in the social, cultural and historical impact they've had on the world; and it's that knowledge that informs every note of every song as much as nostalgia.
Thanks to Sedikides, nostalgia ain't what it used to be: Nostalgia is a good thing. So try it, use it, cherish it. But keep your eyes up and look to the horizon. Life beckons.

The food, the place, tge service! Everything is spot on!!! Huge menu! Best food ever! Oh and the adress is a bit wrong. It takes you up hill and stops you near a different place. Just keep on up with the road and it will be on the left side :)
We eat there 3 times in one week (not something that happens very often) but it was a gastronomical delight.
we enjoy the food, the service and the atmosphere very much.
Nicely located in the countryside a bit outside of Hinterzarten, overlooking a scenic landscape. You need a car to get there, though.
Good German cuisine from the local Baden region, including game, trout and Schnitzel. The portions are fairly big.
Very nice and personal service by the owner and his staff.
Good value for money.
My wife and I, who are Amercians, dined at Zum Engel on November 8 and had a wonderful experience. The owner/chef took his time to explain the menu (we are Americans and, unfortunately, do not speak German) and offer suggestions. Dinner started with a salad bar of fresh veggies, followed by the main courses (steak and venison) which were perfectly...

It's the last day before The Psychodelicate opens, and I'm busily finishing the final touches; perfecting listings, re-photographing a few items (thanks to a genius tip from Olivia), and then on to finish/frame/block the things that likely won't be ready by tomorrow.
My camera strap looks really horribly photoshopped in this image. Like it's been painted on. Phone photography is difficult.
Living-room photo-studio! It's been working pretty well, if I do say so myself. I've been trying to photograph every piece outside as well as inside (using outdoor lighting), which is a pretty big time-suck but I think it's worth it.
Anyway, I'm off to the living room to work more! Yikes! Tomorrow!

Bruins fans can exhale, as the club got some good news on the injury front in regards to center David Krejci. B's coach Claude Julien told reporters Monday that the forward is day-to-day right now with a leg injury after taking a Johnny Boychuk slap shot to the right leg on Sunday afternoon in Pittsburgh. The puck appeared to hit Krejci just above the knee, and he needed to be helped off the ice. He did not return to that game, but he did travel with the club to Winnipeg. It's unclear whether or not he'll play Tuesday against the Jets, but Julien insisted there were no broken bones. Below are the updates via Twitter from the Bruins and NESN's Naoko Funayama. David Krejci did not skate today but received treatment, is day-to-day. Julien says, no broken bones.— Naoko Funayama (@NaokoFunayama) March 18, 2013 Coach said David "came in for treatment and is day to day"-said there are "no broken bones" & "hopefully he'll be back soon"^CS— Boston Bruins (@NHLBruins) March 18, 2013

Place the brisket in a large, shallow dish, and rub the thyme, bay leaves, garlic, chiles, and cracked black pepper onto both sides of it, coating the meat well. Cover, and refrigerate overnight. Take the brisket out of the refrigerator 1 hour before cooking, to bring it to room temperature. After 30 minutes, season the meat with 2 tablespoons salt.
Preheat the oven to 325°F.
Heat a large, heavy-bottomed sauté pan over high heat for 2 minutes. Add the olive oil, and wait for 1 minute. Place the brisket in the pan (reserving the garlic and chiles). Sear the meat on both sides, about 8 minutes per side, until it's deep golden brown. You will need to sear a portion of the meat at a time, because the entire brisket probably won't fit in the pan. To do this, leave one end of the brisket hanging off the edge of the pan, and then move that end into the pan when the other part is well seared. Once both sides are well browned, transfer the brisket to a large roasting pan that has a tight-fitting lid, or a Dutch oven.
Return the brisket searing pan to the stove over medium-high heat, and add the onion, carrot, and celery. Stir with a wooden spoon, scraping up all the crusty bits in the pan. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until the vegetables just begin to caramelize, then add the reserved garlic and chiles, and cook for a few more minutes.
Turn off the heat (so that the liquids won't evaporate immediately), and add the balsamic vinegar, then the wine. Turn the heat back up to medium-high, and reduce the wine by a quarter. Add the beef stock, and bring the stock to a boil over high heat. Pour the hot stock over the meat, scraping any vegetables that have fallen on the brisket back into the liquid. The stock mixture should almost cover the brisket. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and a tight-fitting lid. Braise in the oven for 5 to 6 hours.
To check for doneness, carefully remove the lid and foil, watching out for the hot steam. Test the meat by inserting a paring knife into it; if the knife slides in easily, then the brisket is done.
Let the brisket cool in its juices for 30 minutes. Carefully transfer it to a baking sheet, and chill completely.
Strain the braising juices into a saucepan, pressing down on the vegetables with a ladle to extract all the liquid. Skim the fat from the braising juices, and chill.
When you are ready to serve, preheat the oven to 400°F.
Cut the cold brisket against the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Lay the slices in two large roasting pans (or equivalent). Heat the braising juices, and pour some over the meat, just to cover. Cook for about 20 minutes, until the meat is hot and caramelized and crispy on top.
Place the slow-roasted Romano beans at the center of six large dinner plates, and arrange the brisket on top. Drizzle some of the braising juices over the meat. Dollop a generous tablespoon of the black olive aïoli over the meat, and pass the rest at the table.
The combination of the tarry black olives in the aïoli with the charred meat flavor in this brisket recipe lends itself to pairing with a rich, complex wine from the Bordeaux region of France. I like the wines from the Left Bank areas, such as Graves and Margaux, whose wines tend to be dark and slightly tannic. This is also a great recipe to pair with a wine that has had time to age in the cellar, which will have even more complex, gamy qualities to work with the beef's savory braising juices.

Charleston Southern's men's basketball team may be shaken and wounded, but coach Barclay Radebaugh says his team is far from out.
Wednesday's first round
Winthrop vs. Liberty 12 noon
Radford vs. Presbyterian 2 p.m.
CSU vs Campbell 6 p.m.
Gardner-Webb vs. Longwood 8 p.m.
The Buccaneers open play in the Big South Conference tournament Wednesday at 6 p.m. against Campbell, a team that beat the Bucs 65-57 earlier this season.
Picked in the preseason to win the Big South Conference, Charleston Southern had a disappointing and under-achieving regular season. Breakdowns on defense, injuries and lack of execution late in games all contributed to CSU's 12-17 record. The Bucs finished 6-10 in the conference.
All that went right during Charleston Southern's run to last season's Big South regular-season title went wrong during the 2013-14 season. But Radebaugh says his team is not dwelling on the past.
"We realize we have had some disappointments this season, but the tournament is new life for every team," said Radebaugh. "As a team, we remain confident that we can compete with any team in this league. We competed in every game this season. When you look at our season, we were in just about every game. Several games came down to one or two possessions.
"We were not far from being a 10- or 11-win team in this league, and our players are confident they can go into this tournament and win it."
Eight of CSU's 10 conference losses were by eight points or less, including four by four points or less. Uncharacteristically, the Bucs lost four conference games at home after losing only one last season.
CSU has played the last six games without starting point guard and leading scorer Saah Nimley, who will also miss the conference tournament with a knee injury. Junior guard Arlon Harper also missed some time during the meat of the conference schedule.
Harper has averaged 12 points per game this season, just behind senior Matt Kennedy's 12.3 points. Senior point guard Sheldon Strickland and junior shooter Will Saunders also average in double figures.
Giving Radebaugh hope that his team can put together a successful run in the tournament is his team's never-say-die attitude.
"Through all of our issues defensively and with the injuries and the problems we have had late in some games, we have never been concerned about this team's desire to compete," said the coach. "This team will play hard every single night. There is no quit in this group.
"These guys have been extremely resilient. Each and every time we take the floor, we know this team will give us a great effort. This team has developed the type of mentality and toughness that will carry them long after they are done playing basketball."

Last week: 15 (-4) Record: 6-7 Net points per drive: 0.25 (11th) DVOA: 1.1% (14th) Weighted DVOA: 0.4% (15th) A home loss to the Eagles effectively eliminates them from the playoffs. They would have had to win in New Orleans and Atlanta to make it anyway, but I thought they could, easily since the Falcons would likely be resting starters week 17. It turns out, that maybe they were overrated. They seem to be nothing if not streaky and have cooled down of late. If they heat up again, a win in New Orleans and Atlanta, as well as at home for the Rams, could happen, but it's more likely they end up at a nice round 8-8.

Background: Setting Limits
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
KWAME HOLMAN: Senate Democrats ordered in folding beds last week. It was a half-joking precaution in case all-night sessions would be needed to stage the final act in the seven-year congressional drama of completing campaign finance overhaul legislation. But by yesterday, it was clear the beds wouldn't be needed. And it was the Republican opponents of the bill who had folded.
SEN. MITCH McCONNELL: There is certainly no necessity to have any all night sessions or any of these other things that we hear have been suggested to the press, since the opponents of this bill are ready to move on with it. It's time to pass this bill. We understand the debate is largely over, and we'd like to wrap it up.
KWAME HOLMAN: Bill co-author Russ Feingold, Democrat of Wisconsin, knew he was closer than ever before to passing the most sweeping change in campaign finance laws since the 1970s.
SEN. RUSS FEINGOLD: And the moment for reform has arrived. After six and a half years of work on this bill, and more than a decade of scandals that have threatened the integrity of our legislative process, I do believe that this body is ready to get the job done for the American people. Mr. President, I believe the American people have waited long enough.
KWAME HOLMAN: In the run-up to today's final vote, Senators on both sides of the issue took turns praising the campaign finance legislation or its soon- to-be-victorious authors Feingold and Republican John McCain of Arizona.
SEN. CHRISTOPHER DODD: I know that for Senator Feingold and Senator McCain, the accomplishment of campaign finance reform will culminate one of their finest hours in public service.
SEN. BARBARA BOXER: You never gave up. You focused and you fought. Every time there was backsliding you just refused to give up.
SEN. PHIL GRAMM: I want to congratulate Senator Feingold and Senator McCain. I believe that they're both wrong, but they're not wrong- hearted. In my opinion, they're wrong- headed on this issue. They both believe that what they're doing is in the interests of Americans.
SPOKESPERSON: Today you are the American people's valentine.
KWAME HOLMAN: It was just last Valentine's Day that the authors of the House version of the campaign finance overhaul bill– Connecticut Republican Christopher Shays and Massachusetts Democrat Martin Meehan– savored sweet victory after seeing the bill pass there by a healthy margin. The House effort had gotten a boost on January 24. Supporters of the measure got the last of 218 signatures, a majority of the 435 members, on a discharge petition, which forced House Speaker Dennis Hastert, an opponent, to bring the bill to the floor.
But passing so-called campaign finance reform in the House traditionally has not been the problem for the bill's proponents. Over the years, the House has approved the bill twice, by respectable margins. The legislation always stalled in the Senate. But that calculus changed radically last spring.
In a remarkable departure from normal practice, Senators bypassed committees and spent days on the floor personally writing amendments to the main campaign finance bill. In the end, the Senate passed a modified version, with a dozen Republicans joining nearly all Democrats in voting yes.
The campaign finance bill would ban soft money — unregulated, unlimited contributions given to national political parties by corporations, unions, and individuals. But limited soft money contributions still could go to state or local parties for voter registration and get-out-the- vote efforts. The bill also would prohibit advocacy groups from using soft money to broadcast ads that refer to a federal candidate within 60 days of an election. And it would double the current $1,000 so-called "hard money" limit on campaign contributions individuals may give to candidates.
The bill would take effect November 6, the day after this year's federal elections. Late this afternoon, came the moment some campaign overhaul supporters have admitted they thought they'd never see.
SPOKESMAN: On this vote the ayes are 60, the nays are 40 and the bill is passed.
KWAME HOLMAN: 11 Republicans joined 49 Democrats and one independent to pass the campaign finance bill.

Sinking and clawing
At the slippery rocks
Around me, missing.
I'm tired of fighting,
Fighting for my life.
There is no meaning
Anymore, it's gone.
Sobs wrack my body,
Tears run down my face,
Like rivers of pain.
Why won't they stop?
I'm trying to hang on
(Maybe just for you)
But hell, I can't keep
Holding on like this.
My mask is shattering
But no one sees it.

Will they notice the scars?
I thought I would
Be just fine
I thought everything
Would finally be okay.
It's all a lie.
I just want to die.

On chilly autumn morning,
Warming up my insides and
Making me smile.
Your arms look nice and warm
Like a sweater fresh out of the dryer.
I wonder what it would be like
If you gave me a hug.
There's a certain feeling growing,
Growing in my chest, spreading.
I haven't felt it in awhile, but
It's like the sunshine after the rain.

They are what keeps me going
Throughout the days
That I do not see him.
I remember...
The beating of his heart beneath my ear,
His arm around my shoulders,
The way his hands moved over the piano keys,
Skrillex playing in the background,
Paper flowers taking shape beneath our fingers,
The touch of his soft fingers against mine,
His adorable shyness,
And his warm lips against mine,
A blush spreading across our cheeks,
And wide, happy smiles.
If this is what love is,
I don't know why
I've always pushed it away.
I think I will start welcoming it
back into my icy heart.
He's breaking down my walls,
I'm scared and elated at the same time.
I can't wait to see
What our future holds.
I Am A PuppetI am a puppetI Am A Puppet3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
I hang from many strings
These strings guide me
From day to day
Dragging me through
All I need to do.
My moods vary widely;
Sometimes I am happy,
Dancing through life,
bright and laughing
like everything is fine.
Sometimes I am depressed,
I drag through each day,
Everyday is painful
And each of those days
Sharp scissors come ever closer
To the strings that hold me up.
If those scissors cut those strings,
I will crumble to the floor,
And I won't be able to get back up.
When I walk down the street,
I can feel myself being dragged along
I can see, but I do not see anything.
I can almost feel that vacant look
That lives in my eyes each day
I don't understand why nobody sees it.
To me, it's the most obvious thing in the world.
Nobody sees that I am a puppet.

Zombie Survival
this wiki
Zombie Survival is a popular multiplayer game mode in Garry's Mod. It features survivors who are fighting for their lives against zombies.
When a game begins, everyone starts out as a human. Before the round starts, there is a countdown which gives the players time to purchase items and find a base. After the countdown ends, the players closest to a zombie spawn will respawn as zombies . The zombie spawn points are marked in green smoke. After a round has started, you will take damage from the posion if you get too close to the spawn.
Before a round starts at least one player will need an to buy a Arsenal Crate. When a round has begun it is best to stick with other survivors, as lone survivors are typically the first to be killed. You will also want to stay inside of bases with other survivors for a greater chance of surviving the round.
- SMG: this is a basic weapon with low damage, but high rate of fire
- FAMAS: similar to the SMG but with slightly higher damage and accuracy
- Sniper Rifle: A slow firing sniping weapon with low to moderate damage
- Axe
- Plank
- Crowbar
- Computer keyboard: These can be found scattered around on certain maps.
- knife
- Stun stick
- (more weapons requiring more points are bought at arsenal crates)
- Arsenal Crate: A purchasable crate at the start of a round. Used to buy weapons and ammo and must be placed before use. The owner gets a small amount of points each time another player buys something.
- Ammo Crate: Somewhat similar to the Arsenal Crate, This crate refills a players ammo for their weapons
- Hammer: Used to nail props to walls, can also be used as a melee weapon.
- Medkit: It can be used to heal other players up to 15% HP. It can also be used to heal yourself, however this makes the medkit take longer to recharge.
Please note:Edit
- The most frequently asked question in Zombie Survival is "how do i get through a nailed down prop?" If you have not bound a key to "suit zoom" under options, do it before joining a game. This allows your character to walk through any prop that has been nailed-down. Be careful when doing this as it slows your movement and lowers your weapon.

The so-called Northwest Arkansas region is one of the fastest growing in the country, and the three named cities, Rogers, Springdale, and Fayetteville, plus the elephant- in-the-room Bentonville represent an interesting mix of small cities that all work together and all offer something. The three names cities are located in a north-south line roughly 10 miles apart, while Bentonville lies five miles west of Rogers.
Each of these towns brings something different to the area, and the mix works well. Fayetteville is home to the University of Arkansas and has an attractive campus, historic buildings, a progressive feel and the usual college-town amenities. Springfield is more "old South" as a center of light manufacturing, trucking and agricultural processing, anchored by the headquarters and major operations of poultry processor Tyson. Rogers was once a sleepy non-descript Southern town but has boomed as a hot family-oriented residential area, One of the reasons why is Bentonville, and for those whom the name isn't familiar, it is the headquarters for retail giant Wal-Mart.
Wal-Mart earns superlatives all over the country, but no single employer wields the economic influence that Wal-Mart has in Bentonville and the surrounding area. The headquarters employs some 13,000, and that is not the whole story, as scores of other companies supplying everything from product to marketing to legal services make the area their home. And there's a steady stream of business travelers calling on the nation's #1 retailer as well.
All of this leads to a booming economy and plenty of air service. The founding Walton family and the Jones family of trucking industry lineage have left a strong cultural imprint on the area as well. The Walton family has endowed a large performing arts center and a $50-million Walton family-supported art museum is scheduled to open in 2009. The Jones family has endowed the Jones Center for Families among other assets.
There are plenty of water and outdoor recreation opportunities in nearby lakes and mountain areas, but some might feel a bit isolated from other "city" activities (the closest big city is Kansas City 175 miles north). Living costs are low and substantial employment and income growth bring strong buying power. Crime rates are notably low for the region.
The area contains a mix of farmland, nearby lakes, and rolling, wooded hills. Climate is continental and typical of the region, with a strong Gulf influence particularly in summer. However, the elevation and nearby mountains keep temperatures a few degrees cooler than many other parts of the state. Winters are generally mild, with occasional cold spells.
As of 2014, Elm Springs's population is 1,712 people. Since 2000, it has had a population growth of 87.72 percent.
The median home cost in Elm Springs is $209,700. Home appreciation the last year has been 4.70 percent.
Compared to the rest of the country, Elm Springs's cost of living is 0.10% Higher than the U.S. average.
Elm Springs public schools spend $11,042 per student. The average school expenditure in the U.S. is $12,435. There are about 13.2 students per teacher in Elm Springs.
The unemployment rate in Elm Springs is 4.50 percent(U.S. avg. is 6.30%). Recent job growth is Positive. Elm Springs jobs have Increased by 0.07 percent.

In his first at-bat after missing 48 games, Joey Votto lined a single off Roy Halladay on Wednesday. Votto went 2-for-3 with a walk in a 6-2 loss to the Phillies. "It went better than I expected," Votto said. "I'm very happy to be back in the lineup and play. Unfortunately, it came with a loss." The crowd of 19,267 at Great American Ball Park gave him a long standing ovation before his first at-bat. He promptly singled to left. "I was very humbled by it, very appreciative to get support like that," he said. "It was unexpected." His left knee, on which he had surgery on July 17 and another procedure on Aug. 10, did fine. "It held up pretty well until (Antonio) Bastardo buckled it," said Votto, referring to his strikeout in the eighth against the Phillies' left-handed reliever. "I had no problems at all. If we had a game tomorrow (Thursday), I'd be more than happy to play. I feel fine." Reds manager Dusty Baker was impressed. "Joey was fine," Reds manager Dusty Baker sai...

Leibniz's notation
In calculus, Leibniz's notation, named in honor of the 17th-century German philosopher and mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, uses the symbols dx and dy to represent infinitely small (or infinitesimal) increments of x and y, respectively, just as Δx and Δy represent finite increments of x and y, respectively.[1]
Consider y as a function of a variable x, or y = f(x). If this is the case, then the derivative of y with respect to x, which later came to be viewed as the limit
was, according to Leibniz, the quotient of an infinitesimal increment of y by an infinitesimal increment of x, or
where the right hand side is Joseph-Louis Lagrange's notation for the derivative of f at x. From the point of view of modern infinitesimal theory, Δx is an infinitesimal x-increment, Δy is the corresponding y-increment, and the derivative is the standard part of the infinitesimal ratio:
- .
Then one sets , , so that by definition, is the ratio of dy by dx.
Similarly, although mathematicians sometimes now view an integral
as a limit
where Δx is an interval containing xi, Leibniz viewed it as the sum (the integral sign denoting summation) of infinitely many infinitesimal quantities f(x) dx. From the modern viewpoint, it is more correct to view the integral as the standard part of such an infinite sum.
The Newton-Leibniz approach to infinitesimal calculus was introduced in the 17th century. While Newton did not have a standard notation for integration, Leibniz began using the character. He based the character on the Latin word summa ("sum"), which he wrote ſumma with the elongated s commonly used in Germany at the time. This use first appeared publicly in his paper De Geometria, published in Acta Eruditorum of June 1686,[2] but he had been using it in private manuscripts at least since 1675.[3]
English mathematicians were encumbered by Newton's dot notation until 1803 when Robert Woodhouse published a description of the continental notation. Later the Analytical Society at Cambridge University promoted the adoption of Leibniz's notation.
At the end of the 19th century, Weierstrass's followers ceased to take Leibniz's notation for derivatives and integrals literally. That is, mathematicians felt that the concept of infinitesimals contained logical contradictions in its development. A number of 19th century mathematicians (Weierstrass and others) found logically rigorous ways to treat derivatives and integrals without infinitesimals using limits as shown above, while Cauchy exploited both infinitesimals and limits (see Cours d'Analyse). Nonetheless, Leibniz's notation is still in general use. Although the notation need not be taken literally, it is usually simpler than alternatives when the technique of separation of variables is used in the solution of differential equations. In physical applications, one may for example regard f(x) as measured in meters per second, and dx in seconds, so that f(x) dx is in meters, and so is the value of its definite integral. In that way the Leibniz notation is in harmony with dimensional analysis.
In the 1960s, building upon earlier work by Edwin Hewitt and Jerzy Łoś, Abraham Robinson developed mathematical explanations for Leibniz's infinitesimals that were acceptable by contemporary standards of rigor, and developed non-standard analysis based on these ideas. Robinson's methods are used by only a minority of mathematicians. Jerome Keisler wrote a first-year-calculus textbook based on Robinson's approach.
Leibniz's notation for differentiation[edit]
Suppose we have a variable y representing a function f of a variable x:
Then we can write the derivative of the function f(x), in Leibniz's notation for differentiation, as the following:
The Leibniz notation expression dy/dx is sometimes expressed in Lagrange's notation as the following:
Lagrange's "prime" notation can also be used for the equation where f(x) is substituted for y:
The Lagrange notation f ′(x) (read as "f prime of x") is a common way to express the derivative function. Note that we can also use Newton's notation, which is often used for derivatives with respect to time (like velocity) and requires placing a dot over the dependent variable (in this case, x):
Leibniz notation for higher derivatives[edit]
For higher derivatives, we express them as follows:
denotes the nth derivative of f(x) or y respectively. For example, the first derivative can be written as dy/dx, the second derivative as d2y/dx2, and so on.
This notation (with the second derivative as an example ) is derived from the following formula:
A more complicated example is the third derivative is:
which we can loosely write as:
Now drop the parentheses and we have:
Chain Rule[edit]
The chain rule and integration by substitution rules are especially easy to express here, because the "d" terms appear to cancel:
etc., and:

DNR firefighters head west to help wildfire crews
LANSING, MI (AP)-- The Michigan Department of Natural Resources has sent 18 people to help fight a fast-moving fire that has burned more than 9,500 acres in western Montana.
The crew includes fire officers, foresters and one surveyor.
Forest Resources Division chief Bill O'Neill said Thursday the staffers have been trained to battle fires and are ready to go wherever needed. He says it's important for states to cooperate during emergencies.
About 50 large, uncontained fires are burning around the nation.
O'Neill says the DNR is well-equipped to deal with any wildfires that might break out in Michigan, even with some of its staffers dispatched elsewhere.

Bailey strikes out swinging. 6-2 Reds after 6.
If I'm Jocketty, it would take a special offer to deal Frazier. I'm not calling him untouchable by any means, but even if he isn't a full-time position player, his versatility and bat make him a very valuable part of this team. If Rolen comes back, I'd like to see Frazier get a lot of ABs in LF
Young strikes out swiging. 7 Ks for Bailey
Jackson grounds out to 3rd. 2 outs.
Big night for both Bailey and Frazier.
Berry bloop hit to center.
Arredondo in to pitch. Good start for Bailey
Homer with a well deserved round of applauds. Really hope for no dramatics here.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
Great job Homer. (wish I could've seen more of it)
