The Everything Cage shown next to Salsa's stainless water bottle cage. It is about eight inches long, and the "wings" are a hair over five inches wide. The bottom of the cage is a rough circle about two and a half inches around.
The straps are what you would expect for a nylon tie down strap. They have nice Salsa Adventure By Bike tags on them, and are about nineteen inches long. The buckles are of the lace through type. If you are looking for faster access you may want to swap these for a set with quick release buckles. This type of buckle is easy to get nice and secure though, with less chances for failure.

Okay, so I'm getting tired of having a long RJ45 cable lying all over, for my girlfriends laptop. It feels especially stupid with all this clutter as her laptop has built-in wlan. I borrowed an old access-point from a friend, but it's too unstable, so I'm looking for something decent.
And this is where I get frustrated - there's a myriad of different products
My base requirement is a stable accesspoint of at least 54mbps, able to cover a 50m2 apartment without signal strength dropping (the does mean handling a single wall splitting the bedroom and living room). WPA-PSK/WPA-2 are also required.
A four-port built-in 100mbit switch would also be nice, so I can get rid of my current switch and save a bit on clutter and power requirements. I'd rather have no built-in switch than something retarded that only runs ~50mbit even though it's wired.
I think it should be possible to find something that meets these requirements, but I haven't really been too successful - there's always been something wrong with the products I've found, like reviews indicating retarded signal strength or flaky connection
It would be even nicer if I could find a device that has routing, too - but then my requirements probably become too demanding: I need PPPoA support (which only seems to be available for a few devices?) and a built-in modem, since my current solution is a combined router/modem (ZyXel prestige 650) - and I want as few devices as possible.
EDIT: forgot to mention that I have ADSL. Currently 4096/512, will get upgraded to 8092/512 in March - so a router/modem should be able to handle that high speeds and be stable.

Stocks rise following expansion in manufacturing
U.S. stocks mostly rose on Monday as growth in manufacturing provided more evidence that the economy may be picking up, or at least not getting any worse.
Investors are looking for signs that workers will have more money to spend, said Jerry Webman, chief economist for OppenheimerFunds Inc. That's a "virtuous cycle" that can generate some of its own fuel for a recovery.
"If you're going to manufacture more you're going to employ more people, and if you employ more people you're going to pay them money, and they're going to buy some stuff," helping the economy, Webman said.
The S&P closed 0.3 percent higher, rising 3.82 points to close at 1,444.49. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 77.98 points to close at 13,515.11. The Nasdaq composite fell 2.70 points to close at 3,113.53.
Goldman Sachs jumped $3.18, or 2.8 percent, to $116.86 after Barron's wrote that investors are too pessimistic on the investment bank's prospects.

Number 5:
Leisure suit Larry! Woah, an actual playboy look-a-like game! It's funny to walk up to tons of girls, flirt with them and at the end, end up with them under some bed sheet. That's basically on what the game is based. It's not that fun but yeah, flirting can be pretty fun!
Postal. There's not much to write about that game. There's nothing more fun than running around the city and actually being able to unzip your pants and pee all around! You can walk up to a cop, unzip your pants and pee all over him! And he won't harm you! Nah, just kidding, you'll get your ass kicked. But there's even more! You are able to place a cat's head on your gun barrel and it will shoot frigging cat heads! Now how amazing is that?
Worms! I'm sure that all of you, readers, have played that game at least once! It was a must-have game back in 2000. Remember those cute worms, each time they would fall off a cliff they would face plant into the earth! And that bomb, which I'm pretty sure you remember.. When you toss it you hear the song which was stuck in your head for years. You know which song, yes, yes you do! HALLELUJAH!
Conker; Bad fur day! Why is that a funny game? It's funny because of this specific scene where you throw toilet paper at an actual pile of crap! And it sings! Holy s***! And the lyrics go something like this: I am the great mighty poo and I'm going to throw my shit at you, a huge supply of tish come from my chocolate starfish.. La la la.. Uh, enough.
Number 1:
Neighbours from hell. Oh that game. I remember playing it a couple years ago. It's so damn fun to insert laxatives into your neighbours tea but before that, removing all the toiler paper from the toilet so he has a nice surprise when he gets inside! Oh, of course, I have to mention that sewing off the parts of his chair and removing the antenna from the tv is fun as well! But be careful! If he catches you, you are toast.

Parental Responsibility
Some pages/links included on the Fassit UK
site are in PDF format.
Download the Free Acrobat Reader
IMPORTANT: With effect from 22 April 2014.
The Family Procedure Rules 22 April 2014 will come into force for all family proceedings, including adoption proceedings.
Note: The Children and Families Act 2014 The Children and Families Act 2014 (CFA 2014) covers both public and private children proceedings. In public law proceedings, amongst other things, it imposes a 26-week deadline for care and supervision proceedings (as piloted since July 2013), it scraps the 28-day time limit for interim care/supervision orders and it introduces new provisions regarding post adoption contact.
Introduction to Parental responsibility (PR) in family law is a legal status derived from the Children Act 1989. You may be quite rightly regarded as a 'responsible' parent by a host of organisations, even as singly responsible for your child's daily care, but at the same time not have the formal status of a parent with parental responsibility.
Generally we will be concerned with a child's parents and their parental responsibility but others, besides parents, can have parental responsibility for a child; for example, a local authority for children in its care, a child's guardian, a child's stepfather and perhaps a child's grandparents or other relatives will be able acquire parental responsibility in certain circumstances. In some instances explained elsewhere on this webpage, unless you have parental responsibility you will not be considered to be a 'parent' of the child since the definition of parent in some instances only includes parents with parental responsibility. Up to six people can have PR for a child.
Parental Responsibility
1.Who has Parental Responsibility?
2.Parental Responsibility
4.Other orders
5.General Questions
note: » Back to the top of this webpage
1. Who has Parental Responsibility?
Birth mothers automatically have PR.
Married birth fathers automatically have PR and do not lose it even on divorce.
Unmarried birth fathers do not have automatic PR but may obtain it by
marrying the birth mother
having their name registered or re-registered on the birth certificate
making a Parental Responsibility Agreement with the mother
obtaining a Parental Responsibility Order from the court
obtaining a Residence Order from the court.
Step-parents do not have Parental Responsibility. However, step-parents, like unmarried birth fathers, are legally responsible for the care and well-being of children who live with them, for ensuring they attend school, etc.
2. Parental Responsibility Order
What is a Parental Responsibility Order?
Parental Responsibility (PR) is defined in Section 3 (1) Children Act 1989 as: "all the rights, duties, powers, responsibilities and authority which by law a parent of a child has in relation to the child and his property"
In general terms, this means the power to make important decisions in relation to a child - for example decisions about where a child is to live, whether a child can receive medical treatment, what religion they follow and which school they attend.
What is a Parental Responsibility Agreement?
This is a consensual arrangement made by the mother and the unmarried birth father acting together. It is a legal document and means that the parents have agreed to share parental responsibility. A step-parent married to a birth parent may obtain PR in a similar way if all those with PR give consent to the agreement.
This is a formal agreement which is signed in the presence of a solicitor.
3. Process
You can apply for a Parental Responsibility Order
If you are a father and your partner/ex partner agrees to you having PR you can apply for a Parental Responsibility Order (Form CPRA1) and will not have to go to court to get this. You will enter into a Parental Responsibility Agreement, which is a type of contract. You can download a copy of this form at HM Courts Services website -
Parental Responsibility Agreement (PDF)
You will need to complete the form and both parents take it to your local County or Magistrates court. Your signatures on the form should be witnessed by an officer of the court or a magistrate.
If you go to the reception at the court they will help you. A grandparent or other relative who has cared for a child cannot apply for a Parental Responsibility Order, but they can gain PR though a Residency Order (see below).
The completed form should then be sent to The Principal Registry of the High Court. Their details are:- Principal Registry of the Family Division / The Divorce Registry First Avenue House 442 - 49 High Holborn London / WC1V 6NP Tel: 020 7947 6000 The agreement will not come into effect until it has been registered by the High Court.
You can apply to court for Parental Responsibility If your partner does not agree to you having PR then you will have to apply to the courts to obtain this.
You can apply through a solicitor or you can apply yourself. In considering an application from a father, the court will take into account the degree of commitment shown by the father to his child, the degree of attachment between father and child and the father's reasons for applying for the order. The court will then decide to accept or reject the application based on what it believes is in the child's best interest. 3. You can apply for a Residency Order A Residency Order states where a child should live. A father/grandparent or other relative who has cared for a child can apply for the child to be placed with them (Residency).
As with applying for Parental Responsibility you have to complete forms C1 (Application for an order) and C2 (Application to commence proceedings for an order).
You can download these forms through the HM Court Services Website: Forms and Guidance. This service provides a list of forms/leaflets that are supplied by HMCS to the public. The list is growing and will be added to regularly. The court clerks should help you with who you need to send copies to. You will be given a date for a hearing in court. You can be represented at court by a solicitor, or a friend or family member. You can also represent yourself.
How do I apply for Parental Responsibility?
You will need to complete the appropriate application form for your order which you can get from any court.
Do I need to instruct a solicitor?
You may want to get legal advice before you apply to court although this is not absolutely necessary. You can get advice from Citizens Advice Bureau and some other voluntary organisations.
Which court do I apply to?
The Family Proceedings Court (part of the Magistrates Court) can deal with straightforward cases. If you believe the case is likely to be complex or contested you may prefer to apply to a County Court.
Is there a cost?
The current fee for private applications to court is £140 per application. In certain cases this can be waived.
What happens in court?
The court will set aside time for one or more hearings. They will enable birth parents and all those with PR to be heard. A social worker – from the local authority, Cafcass or both – will be required to investigate the circumstances and report to the court. The judge or magistrate will only make an order if they believe it is in the best interests of the child. They may suggest an alternative order to the one applied for.
4. Other orders
There are a number of orders available to a court which grant the holder Parental Responsibility (PR). These are described below.
The court may decide that none of the orders below are appropriate or that an order to formalise the child's contact with the absent parent is the best solution.
Residence Order
This is an order that specifies arrangements to be made as to the person with whom a child is to live. This named person automatically has PR for the child and this is shared with any one else who has PR (usually birth parents). The order lasts until the child reaches the age of 16 or 18.
A Residence Order will not sever the legal ties of the child to their birth parents.
Special Guardianship
This order gives the holder a more permanent arrangement but it is not lifelong like an adoption order. A carer secures PR for the child which enables them to make decisions for the child up to a child's 18th birthday. Birth parents with PR retain residual PR so the family link is maintained. There may be several persons sharing SGO status, not necessarily living at the same address.
Adoption Order
Adoption is a legal way of providing a new family for children who cannot be brought up by their own parents. Birth families may be encouraged to retain some contact with the child to assist with their identity.
5. General Questions
When does Parental Responsibility (PR) end?
In general PR orders last until a child is 18.
Can PR be taken away?
Only when adoption takes place, can a birth mother lose Parental Responsibility. If the father was married to the mother when the child was born and subsequently divorced her, he does not lose Parental Responsibility (unless the child is adopted). If a father acquired Parental Responsibility via a Residence Order, he will not lose it on its expiry, unless a specific Order discharges it.
Can I change the child's surname?
Only if all Parental Responsibility holders consent to the change of name. If the Parental Responsibility holders do not agree, the parent seeking to change the name needs to obtain a court order permitting the change, a Specific Issue Order [Children Act 1989, s. 13(1)(a)].
For further information about changing a name by deed poll see: www.deedpoll.org.uk or call 0800 7833048
Can I take the child abroad?
Any person in whose favour a Residence Order has been made can remove a child from the country for up to one month without the consent of any other Parental Responsibility holders.
However, if they wish to remove a child for longer than this, or permanently, such consent is required [Children Act 1989,s.13(1)(a)].
Any person in whose favour a Special Guardianship Order has been made can remove a child from the UK for up to three months without the consent of the birth parent/s.

In a St. Joseph Healthscene report, pregnant women who consume caffeine, even just one cup of coffee a day, are at higher risk of giving birth to an underweight baby. The findings are the latest evidence connecting caffeine to negative health effects for expectant mothers. In January, researchers found that pregnant women who drink 2 or more cups of coffee daily are at twice the risk of having a miscarriage.

Mannheim Steamroller Christmas by Chip Davis
December 13, at 7:30 p.m.
Cape Girardeau, MO. – 8/31/2012 –Mannheim Steamroller and PANDORA Jewelry, the tour sponsor, will present the best the holiday has to offer this season. The group will perform live for one night only in Cape Girardeau at The Show Me Center on December 13, 2012.
Tickets Go on Sale Friday September 7th at 10:00am. Tickets will be available at the SHOW ME CENTER box office, by phone at 573-651-5000 and online at www.showmecenter.biz
The tour, now in its 27th year, is still met by sold-out audiences and was one of the top 20 concert tours in the nation last year. This year Mannheim Steamroller's two touring ensembles will hold over 90 performances throughout the United States.
Grammy Award® winner Davis will direct and co-produce the performances with MagicSpace Entertainment. The shows will feature the favorite Christmas music of Mannheim Steamroller along with state-of-the-art multimedia effects in an intimate setting.
In 1984, Mannheim Steamroller released Mannheim Steamroller Christmas, an album that changed the sounds of Christmas. Already a multi-platinum recording artist through its Fresh Aire series, Davis decided to record an album of Christmas music combining the group's signature mix of Renaissance instruments with rock & roll beats.
The resulting album was a runaway hit and Mannheim Steamroller went on to become the biggest selling Christmas music artist in history. The group's Christmas tour has become an annual holiday tradition right along with decorating the tree, exchanging presents and creating unforgettable moments with friends and family.
Composer and creator Chip Davis started Mannheim Steamroller more than 30 years ago with his Grammy Award-winning Fresh Aire series. Today, with 19 gold, 8 multi-platinum and 4 platinum certified records, Davis is among an elite group of artists -- including U2, Jay-Z, The Beach Boys and Michael Jackson – holding the most certifications of such albums.
Mannheim Steamroller is the #1-selling Christmas artist of all time. With over 40 million total records sold, 28 million have been Mannheim Steamroller Christmas albums. The group's annual Christmas tour has consistently ranked among top national tours.
From founding his own record label American Gramaphone, which has been ranked by Billboard as the #1 independent label, to creating the Mannheim Steamroller "lifestyle" of food, apparel and other products, Davis is one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the music industry.
His latest achievement is creating a cutting edge psychoacoustic technology that is being used in major medical institutions such as Mayo Clinic and is also being studied by NASA for potential use in space.

Emergency NumbersPhone Book (Must be on-campus or have a valid network account)
2.1 Faculty Rank
The faculty comprises all persons having contractual appointment for the instruction of students at the college [university]. It consists of two distinct groups: ranked faculty and term-appointment faculty. Faculty in this latter group have limited rights and responsibilities, as defined here (Sections 2.1.3 and 2.1.4) and concerning evaluation (Section 2.5) and separation (Section 2.13).2.1.0 Definitions
It will be helpful to note the meaning of some phrases used throughout the following sections on specific ranks:
- The phrase "professional equivalent" is intended to allow for the occasional possibility of a "nontraditional" appointment, namely that prominent persons without the appropriate terminal academic degrees in their discipline may nonetheless possess experience and professional recognition (e.g., in the creative arts, business, the medical community) that may in the judgment of the college [university] substitute for the usual academic degree. Such a possible substitution affords the flexible consideration of exceptional candidates without reducing appropriate standards for appointment.
- "A graduate institution of recognized standing" means an institution accredited by one of the six regional accrediting associations in the United States (e.g., North Central) or, for faculty members educated in other nations, a recognized university of international standing.
- "An appropriate terminal degree" means a graduate degree from an institution of recognized standing, other than the earned doctorate, that is judged appropriate by college [university] policy for the faculty position to which an individual is appointed. The provost, in consultation with the divisional dean and the department chair [and/or the dean of the School of Theology], makes the final decision concerning the appropriate terminal degrees for faculty positions.
- The phrase "or its equivalent for reduced-load faculty" means that a requisite number of years of service (e.g., six years prior to tenure review) can be fulfilled over a longer period by a reduced-load faculty member (see Section 126.96.36.199) based on the arithmetic total of the various fractions of full-time service stipulated in that faculty member's contracts over that period.
- Tenure and probation are defined in Sections 2.6.1 and 2.6.2.
A ranked faculty member is a full-time or reduced-load employee of the college [university] who has been appointed to one of the four academic ranks: instructor, assistant professor, associate professor, or professor. Members of the ranked faculty receive continuous contracts (if tenured) or probationary contracts (if on tenure-track). See Section 2.6 for an explanation of tenure, probation, and the tenure-review process.184.108.40.206 Full-time Ranked Faculty
A full-time faculty member:
- has full-time teaching duties or has teaching and other duties (e.g., chairing a department, counseling, research) equivalent to a full-time teaching load (see Section 2.10.3);
- fulfills the other duties and responsibilities of a faculty member (see Section 2.10.3); and
- holds academic rank as described in Section 2.1.2.
Reduced-load faculty are those who are ranked, as defined in Section 2.1.1, and who hold an appointment which is less than full time but ordinarily half time or more. They may be employed on probationary or continuous contracts. Such reduced-load faculty have pro rata contractual rights to promotion, tenure, and sabbatical leave as provided in the Faculty Handbook. They are full voting members of the Faculty Assembly and have, on a reduced-load basis, responsibilities for advising, service on committees, and all other responsibilities of full-time faculty members as detailed in the Faculty Handbook.2.1.2 Ranked Faculty: Criteria for Appointment
At the time of initial appointment of a full-time or reduced-load faculty member, the provost, in consultation with the divisional dean [the dean of the School of Theology] and the department chair, makes a judgment about rank for the initial contract using the criteria described below. Thereafter, changes in rank occur as described in Section 2.7. See Section 2.1.0 for the definitions of phrases used below.18.104.22.168 Instructor
Criteria for rank of instructor shall be:
- possession of a master's degree from a graduate institution of recognized standing, or its professional equivalent;
- either proven or presumptive potential to obtain an appropriate earned doctoral degree or appropriate terminal degree; and
- either proven or presumptive potential to fulfill the duties and responsibilities of a faculty member.
This rank is not a permanent rank for full-time faculty.220.127.116.11 Assistant Professor
Criteria for the rank of assistant professor shall be:
- possession of an appropriate earned doctorate or appropriate terminal degree from a graduate institution of recognized standing, or its professional equivalent;
- evidence of or presumptive potential for teaching effectiveness;
- evidence of or presumptive potential for scholarship in appropriate fields; and
- evidence of or presumptive potential to fulfill the other duties and responsibilities of a faculty member.
This rank may be a permanent rank.188.8.131.52 Associate Professor
Criteria for the rank of associate professor shall be:
- possession of an appropriate earned doctorate or appropriate terminal degree from a graduate institution of recognized standing, or its professional equivalent;
- a minimum of six years (or its equivalent for reduced-load faculty) of ranked full-time teaching in a regionally accredited college or university;
- evidence of sustained, noteworthy teaching effectiveness; and
- evidence of noteworthy research, scholarship, creative or professional activities and/or service.
Ordinarily, promotion to the rank of associate professor is applied for and granted during the sixth year of service, as a part of review for and granting of tenure.
This rank may be a permanent rank.126.96.36.199 Professor
Criteria for the appointment to the rank of professor shall be:
- possession of an appropriate earned doctorate or appropriate terminal degree from a graduate institution of recognized standing or its professional equivalent;
- minimum of 12 years of full-time ranked teaching in a regionally accredited college or university (or its equivalent), or a minimum of six years of full-time teaching at the rank of associate professor at the college [university];
- evidence of strong performance at the level of associate professor of all faculty duties and responsibilities described in Section 2.5; and
- evidence of excellence in teaching and in either scholarship/creative work or in service to the university.
This rank may be a permanent rank.2.1.3 Term-appointment Faculty: Workload
Faculty members who hold term appointments do not hold one of the four regular ranks of instructor, assistant professor, associate professor, or professor (see Section 188.8.131.52 for a description of term contracts) and may serve either part time or full time.22.214.171.124 Part-time, Per-course Faculty
Part-time, per-course faculty teach less than full time and
- usually have duties entailing only teaching and consultation with students as described in Section 184.108.40.206 (a, b, c, and h);
- meet or exceed the criteria of the appropriate academic title defined in Section 2.1.4 below;
- always receive a term contract (see Section 220.127.116.11);
- receive fringe benefits only if their contract is for greater than three-sixths time; and
- do not accumulate time toward tenure, promotion, or sabbatical leave.
Part-time, per-course faculty are expected to be available outside of class at least one-and-a-half hours per week for each course taught to consult with students regarding their course work.188.8.131.52 Full-time, Term-appointment Faculty
Although full-time faculty members are ordinarily either tenured or on tenure-track, special full-time appointments unrelated to tenure are sometimes appropriate for limited periods. See Section 18.104.22.168 for policies governing term contracts. Such faculty members
- usually have duties and responsibilities similar to those of the ranked faculty;
- meet or exceed the criteria of the appropriate academic title defined in Section 2.1.4 below;
- always receive a term contract (see Section 18.104.22.168);
- receive fringe benefits; and
- do not accumulate time toward tenure, promotion, or sabbatical leave.
Term-appointment faculty have the same academic freedom and responsibilities in the management of courses as ranked faculty. Although they are formally appointed by the president at the recommendation of the provost, arrangements for term-appointment faculty are ordinarily worked out between the chair and the divisional dean [and/or the dean of the School of Theology].
Term-appointment faculty do not accumulate time toward tenure, promotion, or sabbatical. Should a faculty member with a term appointment subsequently receive a probationary appointment, the length of the probationary period prior to tenure review is determined in accord with Section 2.3.6, "Initial Rank and Length of the Probationary Period."18.104.22.168 Lecturer
Lecturers are hired on a term contract and may hold a full-time faculty appointment or a part-time, per-course faculty appointment to teach specific courses.
A lecturer should have a master's degree in the appropriate field, or its professional equivalent.188.8.131.52 Senior Lecturer
Senior lecturer is a special appointment for a lecturer with a part-time, per-course appointment who, in addition to meeting all the requirements of the rank of lecturer, has provided distinguished service to the college [university], its students, and faculty over a period of at least 10 years.184.108.40.206 Clinical Instructor
Clinical instructors are hired on a part-time, per-course basis to supervise students working in specific field settings.
Selection of the clinical instructor should be consistent with the academic standards of the college [university] and those of any appropriate licensing organizations. A person assigned this title should have a master's degree in the appropriate field, or its professional equivalent.184.108.40.206 Adjunct Professor by Rank
A faculty member who holds a term appointment and who teaches on either a part-time or full-time basis may be assigned the special rank of adjunct instructor, adjunct assistant professor, adjunct associate professor, or adjunct professor, depending on qualifications.184.108.40.206 Visiting Professor by Rank
The title visiting professor is assigned to an individual who has or did have ranked appointment (assistant professor, associate professor, or professor) at another college or university or the professional equivalent and who is appointed to teach (or teach and pursue other duties) at the college [university]. Such appointments are on a term-contract basis, whether for full-time or part-time, per-course service.188.8.131.52 Artist or Writer or Scholar in Residence
This title is assigned to individuals who have demonstrated outstanding ability in performance in the creative arts (art, music, poetry, writing, and theater) or in scholarship and who are appointed to teach and/or pursue other duties at the college [university], ordinarily for a limited period of time on a term contract on either a part-time, per-course or full-time basis.2.1.5 Special Rank Faculty
Such an appointment is made only after the president has consulted with the provost, the divisional dean [and/or the dean of the School of Theology], and the department chair and has issued a recommendation to the Board of Trustees [Regents]. Special rank appointments carry with them no contractual workload obligations. (See Section 2.12.3 for status and privileges of retired faculty members.)188.8.131.52 Trustees [Regents] Professor
An appointment as Trustees [Regents] professor recognizes a current faculty member extraordinarily distinguished in arts, education, or the professions.
The special rank of Trustees [Regents] professor is an honorary title and does not affect compensation arrangements. A Trustees [Regents] professor might hold only this special rank and receive a part-time, per-course contract. A tenured full-time member of the faculty may be appointed as Trustees [Regents] professor without giving up any rights associated with his or her current rank, ordinarily that of professor.18.104.22.168 Professor Emerita/us
This rank may be assigned to associate professors or professors who have limited or terminated their responsibilities as a faculty member for valid reasons (e.g., retirement, illness) after 15 or more years of distinguished and meritorious service to the college [university].
The title professor emerita/us is an honorary one and does not affect salary or fringe benefits that might be involved in any part-time, per-course contract between the individual and the college [university]. Appointees will have their names recorded at this rank in the catalog during the remainder of their lifetimes.220.127.116.11 Professor Alumna/us
The honorary title of professor alumna/us may be assigned to a faculty member with 15 or more years of service at the college who is not given the title professor emerita/us and who voluntarily leaves employment with the college. Appointees will have their names recorded at this rank in the catalog during the remainder of their lifetimes.2.1.6 Administrators with Faculty Status
Administrative officers (e.g., dean, provost, or president) do not receive faculty contracts but may hold faculty rank while they are in administrative positions. Those who teach while in administration at the college [university] have the same academic freedom and responsibilities in the management of courses as full-time ranked faculty. Administrative officers who hold tenured faculty rank have the right to retain tenure and rank following the completion of their administrative contract. Time in administrative positions ordinarily does not count toward promotion, tenure, or sabbatical leave, except in the case of a ranked faculty member who serves as an academic administrator for the full academic year and who also teaches one quarter time or more during that academic year.

Repairing summer – ravaged hair
As you bask in the warmth of the mid-day sun, you probably apply tons of sunscreen to protect your skin. But, your hair is not given any protection. Did you even realize that all that chlorine water and the harsh sun rays damage your hair cuticles badly? Roughness, frizz and split ends are what you get due to this callousness.
Now, the damage has been done. So, stop crying over spilled milk and lets do some damage repair. Here are the top three products you need, to get that glossy and silky mane back in shape-
1. Tea tree shampoo
Chlorine and other harmful chemicals leave behind a residue on the scalp. This leads to itchiness and infections. Tea tree has deep cleansing and anti-bacterial properties. The scalp is cleansed from these toxic elements and you get back that shiny bounce too.
2. Paul Mitchell hair repair treatment
Ravaged hair requires some intense therapy. Ingredients like wheat, essential vitamins and amino acids replenish the hair shaft and strengthen it. The powerful blend of panthenol and silicone binds moisture to the hair and restores its' elasticity.
3. Infusium Leave-in treatment
Half your repair task is done with shampooing and conditioning. Give extra protection to you hair by applying a leave-in treatment from Infusium. You can use it throughout the day, on both wet and dry hair. Comb the hair well to make sure the ends get treated.
Prevent hair damage with these useful tips-
- Girls, if you swim regularly for fitness purposes, do pull on a swimming cap
- Apply a leave-in serum with sun protection for the hair

All About Me
| I am so excited to be teaching second grade at Lynnewood Elementary School! After graduating from Penn State University in 2005, I started teaching in the School District of Philadelphia, where I taught first, second and fifth grade. This is my sixth year teaching in the School District of Haverford Township, and my ninth year teaching overall. I also graduated from Saint Joseph's University, where I received my Master's degree in Reading and became certified as a Reading Specialist. After teaching Kindergarten at Lynnewood for three years, I began teaching second grade. I am so enthusiastic about continuing my journey teaching this fabulous age!
I currently live in the Queen Village section of Philadelphia with my husband, Dan and our daughter, Gemma, who was born February 26th, along with our two cats. In my free time, I love spending time with my family and friends, reading, and traveling. I am looking forward to a fun and exciting year teaching your children!

"Dick Cheney watches television": The four previously unseen 9/11 photos that will make you hate the evil VP all over again
Topics: Electric Cars, Entertainment News
In stop-and-go traffic on Highway 101 here, Ellen Spertus, the 2001 "Sexiest Geek Alive," mock-apologizes for the ambient air pollution: "Sorry about the smog. But it's not our fault. This car doesn't even have a tailpipe."
Spertus' silver-blue, two-door sports car, which does zero to 30 in fewer than three seconds, doesn't have a gas tank or a key either. It's a 1999 EV1, an electric car that Spertus, a computer science professor at Mills College in Oakland, and her husband, Keith Golden, a rocket scientist at NASA Ames Research Center in nearby Mountain View, charge up every night at home in their garage in San Francisco.
For the computer scientist and the rocket scientist, the EV1 is a kind of geek Batmobile. Professor Spertus even uses her EV1 in the lesson plans for her operating-systems course, when her students study computer security. Instead of a key, a numeric code unlocks the door and starts the engine. The students' homework assignment: Break into the prof's car.
An MIT computer science Ph.D. whose geek cred includes having been known to wear a slide rule strapped to her thigh in a holster, Spertus is about to be stripped of her favorite new technology, along with hundreds of other engineers and environmentalists who drive these futuristic zero-emission vehicles.
"They're the cleanest cars ever made, and they want to take them off the road. It just baffles," says Greg Hanssen, an EV1 driver who is co-chairman of the Production Electric Vehicles Drivers Coalition, a group of electric-car drivers lobbying to keep the cars on the road.
In February, General Motors sent a letter to its EV1 drivers, informing them that the car company had decided not to renew the car's three-year leases when they expire, mostly later this year. (In 1997, GM produced 660 first-generation EV1′s, followed by 500 more in 1999, according to Spertus, but many of the second generation went to replace the first, which had been recalled because of a safety issue.)
GM and other automakers have long argued that electric cars are not economically feasible or marketable; they maintain that no one, outside of a few technophiles and environmentalists, wants to drive a battery-powered car that needs to be charged about every 100 miles. Just last Friday, Ford announced that it would discontinue its electric car, Th!nk.
Testifying before the California Air Resources Board on Sept. 7, 2000, Sam Leonard, director of the General Motors Public Policy Center, said that the automaker had invested almost a billion dollars in electric-car technology and production, and had expected to manufacture 10 to 20 times the cars that they ended up seeing demand for: "The electric-vehicle market failed to materialize, not for lack of effort but for lack of customers willing to sacrifice the utility of today's gasoline-powered vehicles," he said.
But the EV1 drivers, many of whom sat on waiting lists for months to get an electric car, say that's just so much spin. They claim that the car company says there's no demand, because it wants to prove that it can't possibly meet California's strict emissions regulations. (New York and Massachusetts are also considering similar mandates; combined with California's, they could bring lower emissions requirements to one-fifth of the American auto market.)
At the same time as it is quietly killing off the EV1, General Motors has recently announced that in order to meet the California regulations, it will give away thousands of so-called "neighborhood electric vehicles." EV1 drivers say the neighborhood cars, which have more in common with golf carts than cars, and are only safe at speeds of about 25 mph, just serve to reinforce the public's misconception that electric cars are little more than glorified toys that will never replace gas guzzlers.
"I don't expect that we'll be able to save the EV1," says Spertus, who has helped organize EV1 drivers online who are rallying to keep their cars. "I just don't want the car companies to get away with claiming that electric cars are no good and nobody wants them."
Electric car drivers charge that the automakers have spent more money fighting against electric cars, by funding industry lobbying groups such as the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, which oppose emissions regulations, than they have marketing electric cars to consumers.
Why would a company try to undermine its own product? Because it didn't want to produce the product in the first place, say electric car advocates.
California state regulators forced automakers to bring electric cars to market. The cars came out in very limited distribution in the late '90s, mostly available only by lease, as a stratagem to win the carmakers credits toward California's zero emission vehicles mandate. That regulation currently requires that by 2003, 2 percent of all new vehicles offered for sale in the state be zero-emission, and another 2 percent be "advanced technology partial ZEVs," such as "hybrid" electric/gas vehicles.
The automakers and dealers currently have state and federal lawsuits pending to prevent the California regulations from going into effect in 2003, even though those requirements represent a significant retreat from California's original zero-emissions vehicle mandate of 1990, which would have required that 2 percent of all vehicles offered for sale in the state be zero-emission by 1998, 5 percent by 2000 and 10 percent in 2003.
"It's been watered down consistently over the years, because the car companies have spent millions to fight it," says Jamie Knapp, a spokesperson for the California ZEV Alliance, a lobbying coalition of environmental and public-health groups. "It's a real shame, since the automakers have already proven that the technology exists, and there are already people who want the cars and can't get them."
But now it looks like even the watered-down regulations won't go into effect, at least not in 2003. "The Air Board has said publicly that it's not going to enforce the 2003 mandate," says Richard Varenchik, deputy communications director for the board.
That's because a federal judge in Fresno issued a preliminary injunction against the mandate two months ago, ordering the California Air Resources Board not to enforce the regulation. The Production Electric Drivers Vehicle Coalition has filed a motion to intervene in the federal case, hoping to give electric-vehicle drivers a chance to appear before the court and make the case that there are drivers who want these cars. The hearing will be held in Fresno on Oct. 30. But a state suit, brought by automakers and dealers, also enjoins the Air Resources Board from enforcing the regulations.
Varenchik from the Air Resources Board says the litigation means the board will likely reconvene to review the whole zero emission vehicle mandate next year.
But what will become of GM's existing EV1s, even if California doesn't find a way to enforce the regulation that they were put on the road to meet?
"The majority of cars are going to get crushed," says Hanssen. "GM wants the program over. They want the cars off the road. They want it out of their hair. They don't want us out there driving these cars, talking about how great they are." GM did not return calls for comment.
"It's a terrible shame, because it's the best zero emissions vehicle out there, and they were first to market with the technology," says Knapp from the California ZEV Alliance.
While electric cars are being snuffed out, automakers are trotting out hybrid vehicles as the answer for fuel-economy-conscious consumers. Nationally, Honda has sold more than 8,000 of its Honda Insight hybrids. The company is projecting sales of 2,000 a month in the first year for its 2003 Honda Civic hybrid. Toyota, claiming 90 percent of the hybrid market worldwide, says it has sold over 100,000 of its various hybrid models. American car companies say they'll follow suit with their own hybrid models.
Unlike electric cars, hybrids do not have to be charged, since they run partially on gasoline. But electric car drivers are reluctant to go back to the fuel pump at all. "I have no intention of going back to gasoline if I can possibly avoid it," says Bob Seldon, a patent attorney in Santa Monica who has been driving an EV1 for five years. "In my electric car, I start with a full 'tank' every morning. I've got the range I need. It has great performance with zero maintenance, and electricity costs me about half as much per mile as gasoline."
General Motors is by no means the only car company that has pulled back from electric vehicles. But the company has displayed a particularly ham-fisted approach all its own. When Honda yanked its EV Plus electric car, drivers persuaded the automaker to keep the existing cars on the road by modifying the lease to a month-to-month lease without warranty.
The EV1 drivers asked GM to do the same. Early this summer, 58 EV1 drivers sent checks to GM as proof that they wanted their leases to continue, petitioning the company to keep the EV1s on the road.
The checks, totaling more than $22,000, came back, uncashed, by registered mail in late June. "We're upset about them taking these working cars away even though we're willing to pay to keep using them," says Spertus. "My husband and I would like to buy ours, since in all likelihood GM is going to destroy these cars although they work great and don't pollute." GM has pledged to contribute some of the cars to museums, but the EV1 drivers are skeptical, since just how many museums out there really want an electric car?
"I can understand GM not wanting to make more EV1s since it's expensive, but why do they have to take away the EV1s that already exist?" says Spertus. She and some of the other EV1 drivers who had their checks sent back by GM are now donating the money to help fund the Production Electric Drivers Vehicle Coalition's legal action in the federal suit in California.
The EV1 drivers find themselves in the odd predicament of defending a vehicle that they don't own from a manufacturer who wants to kill it off. Seldon says of the recall: "It's a tragedy. Everyone I know who has leased it has been totally unwilling to let go of it. I'm convinced that GM didn't want the car to succeed." The EV1 driver points out that electric cars do not require the same kind of routine maintenance that combustion-engine cars and even hybrids do, like replacing mufflers, oil changes and smog checks.
Yet, even as General Motors and other car companies are turning away from the electric zero-emissions vehicles that they've put on the road, they're crowing about their new whiz-bang advances in fuel-cell technology, another zero-emission source that's still off in the misty future.
"These fuel cells that they're so happy about, they're probably only so happy about because they're perpetually 10 years way," says Hanssen, who as of March 2003 will convert from his EV1 to Toyota's Rav4 EV, a small electric SUV that's still available and can actually be purchased, not just leased.
As for Spertus, she's contemplating committing an act of "civil disobedience" to keep her tailpipe-free car cruising the Bay Area freeways. When her lease expires at the end of December this year, she's thinking about just not giving the car back.
But even the Sexiest Geek Alive is reluctant to risk going to jail for auto theft to save her electric car.

Zach Ness, grandson to Arlen Ness, continues legacy of building custom motorcycles.
The Ness family has been building custom motorcycles since the early 1970's, when Arlen Ness came up with his first creations in his home garage. Arlen has received numerous awards and honors for his work, and was inducted into the Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 1992.
Arlen is still at the company, located in Dublin, CA, working with his son Cory, and grandson Zach. Both are highly talented bike builders – with Zach winning awards for his builds while still in high school.
Until recently, the Ness tradition was to build custom cruisers from Harley Davidson and Victory motorcycles. Recently, in part to do with the National Geographic Channel's tv show "Let It Ride", Zach has branched out of the company tradition by building other custom bikes including a cafe racer, a stunt bike, Ducati Hypermotard, and the company's first sportbike, a 2005 Yamaha R1.
Zach's decision to pick the Yamaha R1 was a smart choice. Yamaha has been leading superbike racing for many years with it's top 1000cc class sportbike, the YZF-R1. Being designed at the racetrack, the R1 is already a phenomenal bike in stock form – but add the Ness touch and attention to detail, and you've got a real stunner.
At first glance it becomes obvious the time and dedication Zach took to make this bike his debut sportbike. He allowed his passion and experience building custom cruisers to be put into this R1. In fact, he renamed it the N1, or Ness 1.
When approaching the bike the first thing you notice is the paint.
The custom paint job with the matte green, gloss black and silver and the yellow pinstriping make this bike one in a million. Nowhere else will you find a sportbike such as this.
As you take a look deeper, the smaller details start to stand out; the Rizoma brake reservoir and hand grips, the Vortex rearsets and perforated leather seat.
And then all of a sudden you see the wheels and your breath is taken away. Roland Sands wheels and brake rotors on front and rear with Performance Machine radial calipers. These were made in heaven, or at least close to.
But… sportbikes aren't just about the looks- performance at the track is where these motorcycles shine. It's the love you can't see that makes this sportbike over the top. It's the Power Commander V Tuner and full Yoshimura Exhaust System with the K&N air filter that make this R1 sing. The Pirelli Diablo Corsa III tires and fully adjustable Ohlins Rear TTX shock assist in creating a harmony of suspension that makes the corners effortless.
The whole package; from paint to wheels to exhaust to the Zach Ness autograph signed in silver create a package seen nowhere else in the world.
We invite you to check out the auction listing — which has links to photo galleries and video.

Bolt-ons and paint do not make a custom bike. Zack apparently inherited none of his father's sense of style. The chosen colors are better suited to an Army truck; matt green? C'mon man. Overall, the bike looks exactly like what it is – an accumulation of unmatched parts that only serve to make it look like it was made from whatever was available; its waaaay too busy – not the smooth, unified look of an Arlen Ness bike at all.
Want to see great styling? Motorcyclist magazine recently ran a photo of a new Indian Chief without any body work; Iconic is the only proper description. Its the best styled bike since the original Triumph Bonneville.
Hi we think it's a great bike and we love the paintjob.Could you tell me the colourcode of the mattgreen.
Thanks from Holland,Jean.

Making a list and checking it once – check!
Here's me, settling down in front of a roaring fire, the Christmas tree alight, carols playing on the stereo, just one more week of school before vacation, and a teensy bit of eggnog in my Jack Daniels ... um ... I mean a teensy bit of Jack Daniels in my eggnog, of course ... just going over my Christmas list:
First, the kids. My daughter says she wants a good vacuum cleaner and a new crock pot, but what she really needs is some sleep. Both boys have been sick, taking turns staying home from school, and now Gracie's been up all night hurling everything she's ever eaten in her lifetime, evidently, and naturally, the doctor is no help, says there's no cure, just hang in there, and fork over your co-pay when you check out. So, for Louise: a teenager who comes in every day to lasso the children while Louise takes a nap. Check. Sip.
My son-in-law wants a new sport coat and would love Panthers tickets (I know, but they have potential!) but what he really needs is some peace and quiet. Coming home every night to the stories, shrieks and jubilations of three little ones – not to mention a sometimes-shrieking wife – must be, while joyful, still a bit like entering a blasting zone. Chuck gets a good pair of earplugs and a book on meditation. Check. Sipping.
Robby says he wants a set of wine glasses and this great leather jacket. No dice. First, Mommy can't afford a leather jacket, and secondly, what Rob needs is the right woman, who can share the wine with him and tells him she loves him even in a ski jacket. (Gracie just turned 3, and I'm ready for the next grandbaby, and Louise says it's his turn, plus I don't think he's eating right and someone needs to get a handle on that, and it won't be the typical giggling coed!) Rob gets a subscription to Match.com. Check. Two sips.
Eight-year-old Charlie wants a CD player of his own and some CDs, but Gaga already went broke on this Skylanders game for his birthday, so I've warned him that does it for Christmas, too, which he was so sweet about, and which of course won't be the case, so I'll get him a few little things like one of those popcorn tins, a puzzle ... maybe a CD player ...
Six-year-old Georgie wants a Nintendo DS. Forget it. Besides the fact that Gaga has no idea what that is, I also have no doubt that, whatever it is, it will cost more than my recent brake job, and Gaga's about tapped out, folks! Georgie's reading better every day, so maybe if I write him a nice Christmas letter about Gaga being tapped out ... No, I'm serious, though. Really. No means no! ... Okay, what the hell is a Nintendo DS?
Gracie just wants Wiggles and Barney and Baby Einstein DVDs. Easy and cheap. That's my girl! The diamonds will come later. Check. More eggnog.
On to the parents. Dad always says he doesn't want anything; mom always says she doesn't need anything. Really helpful. What mom should have is a cook. She says she's been preparing meals for 64 years and she's over it like the flu! So, what if all of us children pitched in and hired a cook until the money runs out? We could certainly afford one for a couple of mo— ... wee— ... days ... Maybe a nice cookbook.
Dad did say he needed a new chainsaw, which I guess we could all pitch in and get him – if we were IMBECILES! Dad has been to the emergency room more times than Dr. Oz, and chainsaws are only one more vehicle for getting him there. He's employed regular saws, log splitters, tractor blades, electric lines, hammers, staple guns, ladders, lawn mowers and yes, even a mousetrap, to do the job. (For a while, Mom was worried he was purposely devising ways to see cute nurses.)
Then again, when dinner time is approaching, Dad does have to deal with the occasional shrieking-wife thing, just like Chuck, so ... same gift! Check. Still sipping. Sleepy.
That's all, except a few books. For my siblings and siblings-in-law, all of whom are endeavoring to raise, support, rescue, encourage and heave their children into adulthood: "Proof of Heaven," by Eben Alexander.
And, for those 15 nieces and nephews (and definitely my own kids ... and, uh, maybe me): Dave Ramsey's "Total Money Makeover."
Now, that's it, except for our neighbors, Bryan and Michelle, who've taken care of the house, and the yard, and sent the mail to me in the mountains for months on end, not to mention mailing all the stuff I forgot to bring but desperately need immediately ... forget it, I'll have to send them to Europe. (Snnzzzzz)

The radio on board HMCS Charlottetown crackled with the news. The Canadian warship's boarding party had struck pay dirt — a vessel in international waters loaded with weapons and ammunition trying to sneak into Libya.
It was May of 2011, three months into Libya's civil war, and NATO had set up a ring of 20 warships to enforce a United Nations arms embargo. No weapons, military supplies or ammunition were to reach Libya, either for troops loyal to the country's leader, Moammar Gadhafi, or for rebels now fighting to overthrow him.
"There are loads of weapons and munitions, more than I thought," the boarding officer radioed back to Charlottetown's commander, Craig Skjerpen. "From small ammunition to 105 howitzer rounds and lots of explosives."
The Libyan rebels operating the ship openly acknowledged they were delivering the weapons to their forces in Misrata.
Skjerpen radioed NATO headquarters for instructions. The response was swift: let the ship sail on so the crew could deliver their deadly cargo.
A NATO senior officer, Italian Vice-Admiral Rinaldo Veri, had boasted just weeks earlier that the alliance's blockade HAD closed the door on the flow of arms into Libya.
Not quite. While the UN embargo was clearly aimed at preventing the delivery of weapons both to Gadhafi and those fighting him, NATO looked the other way when it came to the rebels. Hundreds of tonnes of ammunition and arms breezed through the blockade, exposing what critics say was Canada and NATO's real motive during the Libyan war — regime change under the guise of protecting civilians.
Qatar, one of two Arab nations to take part in the NATO-led mission, supplied rebels French-made Milan anti-tank missiles, with deliveries made by sea. The country also gave them a variety of trucks and communications gear, while Qatari advisers slipped into Libya to provide training.
Egypt shipped assault rifles and ammunition, with U.S. support.
Poland supplied anti-tank missiles and military vehicles.
Canada also didn't sit on the sidelines when it came to supplying hardware to the rebels.
Five months into the war, Canadian government officials set in motion a plan to provide surveillance drones to rebels so they could better attack Libyan troops, day or night.
The Aeryon Scout Micro-Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, designed and built in Waterloo, Ont., is a small spy drone that fits in a suitcase.
The Canadian government put Aeryon in contact with the rebel's National Transitional Council, while Zariba Security Corp., a private security firm in Ottawa, was to make the delivery. In July, the $100,000 drone was delivered to the rebels by Charles Barlow, president of Zariba and a former Canadian Forces officer. He took an 18-hour boat ride from Malta to the NTC training facility in Misrata, sailing without problems through NATO's blockade.
Barlow showed the rebels how to fly the drone, using it to identify a Libyan military position, and left shortly after.
About a month before Barlow's trip, French aircraft, unchallenged by NATO fighters enforcing a no-fly zone, had dropped an estimated 40 tonnes of ammunition and weapons, including anti-tank missiles, to rebels fighting southwest of Tripoli.
The French, like the other nations pumping weapons into the hands of opposition forces, justified their actions in a response that seemed straight from George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. There was indeed an arms embargo in place, they acknowledged, but there was also another UN resolution allowing for all necessary measures to protect civilians under threat of attack.
So the assault rifles and anti-tank missiles being dropped to rebel troops weren't for war. They were, French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe claimed, "weapons of self-defence" and because of that they didn't violate the UN resolution.
In the case of the order to HMCS Charlottetown to allow the rebel arms ship to proceed, NATO would later justify that action in a similarly convoluted fashion. Technically the rebel ship the Canadian frigate stopped was violating the arms embargo since it was in international waters and was sailing into Libya. But NATO claimed that since the ship was travelling from one location in Libya to another in the country, there was no violation. The weapons had come from Libya and were just being moved through international waters.
To this day, the official line from the Canadian government and military officers is that neither NATO nor Canada took sides in the war, although some occasionally let down their guard to outline what actually took place.
