College of Charleston officials will continue the push to form a research university in the Lowcountry, despite a bill that failed in the waning days of the last legislative session.
The college's Board of Trustees Wednesday approved changes to the school's mission statement, a necessary first step on a new method of possibly achieving research university status without lawmakers' consent.
After a combative legislative session, which came to a close in June, college officials learned that the state's Commission on Higher Education might have the authority to green-light the establishment of a University of Charleston without getting approval from the General Assembly.
Glenn McConnell, the school's new president who attended his first board meeting Wednesday, said he is going to pursue approval to form a research university from both the commission and the General Assembly.
He told the board that some lawmakers have told him they will file another bill next year.
He plans to present the school's revised mission statement, which now includes the words "research institution" instead of "comprehensive institution" to the commission at its Aug. 7 meeting, he said. But even if the commission approves the plan, he wants the new University of Charleston bill to get legislative approval. "It's good insurance there will be no doubters," McConnell said.
Julie Carullo, the commission's deputy executive director, has said the commission has the authority to approve changes to the institutional missions of the state's public colleges and universities. That means that if the school requests it, the panel has the power to place a school into one of four institutional categories: research universities; comprehensive, four-year universities; two-year regional campuses of the University of South Carolina; and technical colleges.
In 2000, for example, the commission approved the University of South Carolina Beaufort's request to change from a two-year regional campus to a four-year, comprehensive university, Carullo said. That change didn't require legislative approval, Carullo said.
If the College of Charleston wants to become a research university, she said, it can apply to the commission to amend its mission. The commission would then hold public hearings before making a decision on the proposed change.
McConnell said that the school would benefit from being a classified as a research university because it then could offer doctoral degrees targeted to the needs of the local business community.
He also said the college still will maintain strong programs for undergraduates and its liberal arts core. The research university "is a component of the college," he said. "The college is not a component of it."
Todd McNerney, Speaker of the Faculty, said he thinks the board made only modest changes to the college's mission statement.
Still, some of his colleagues likely will want a more in-depth explanation on those changes. And he thinks McConnell will be willing to give them that.

What can you do now to increase your survival chances should the unthinkable occur on one of your flights? "Be aware and be prepared is the best advice I can give a passenger," said Cyndee Irvine, who was a PSA Airlines flight attendant for 10 years and has been a contract flight attendant for the past decade.

Before you fly, take a moment to consider whether you risk spreading disease to fellow passengers-or vice versa. "People know tuberculosis, colds and flu are contagious," said Dr. David Streitwieser, medical director for MedAire's MedLink Service.

If your car is less than 10 years old, there might be a little computer buried somewhere inside that records events. If you're in a crash, the police, the insurance adjustor, or maybe even the National Transportation Safety Board will retrieve that computer, download its data and use it to figure out exactly what happened.

Is it safe to use cellphones and other personal electronics on airplanes? It depends on whom you ask, but researchers at Carnegie Mellon University say that the cacophony of electronic "noise" emitted by portable devices brought onboard by passengers indeed can cause dangerous interference with navigation sensors in the cockpit.

Business jet pilots dedicate themselves to safety, but also to delivering passengers to their destinations on time. Occasionally, the latter goal interferes with the former and the folks in the cockpit take risks you might view as, well, overly risky.

Over the last decade, business aviation safety has improved immensely. During that time, regulators have attempted to reduce accidents by introducing a variety of equipment, avionics and procedural requirements.

"I must have been unconscious for two or three minutes," recalled Dean Mortimer, president of Ontario, Canada's Cloud Air charter service. "I woke up looking upside down at the bottom of the lake, yet inexplicably I released my seat belt and fell headfirst to the roof of the aircraft."
""CEOs go to their vacation homes just after companies report favorable news, and CEOs return to headquarters right before subsequent news is released. More good news is released when CEOs are back at work, and CEOs appear not to leave headquarters at all if a firm has adverse news to disclose. When CEOs are away from the office, stock prices behave quietly with sharply lower volatility. Volatility increases immediately when CEOs return to work." —David Yermack, a New York University finance professor, whose recently released study shows a correlation between when CEOs take their private jets on vacation and movements in their companies' stock price "

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VA – A Virginia teen says she was kicked out of a prom event for home-schoolers over claims her dress was too short. According to the teen she didn't break any rules, and she has the pictures to prove it.
When 17-year old Clare posted an article on her sister's blog the outcome wasn't what her or her boyfriend would have expected. "It blew up a lot faster than we thought."
The post expresses frustration over being kicked out of an area homeschool prom in hanover county over the weekend. clare couldn't go on camera, but her boyfriend, James Thompson who was there – says it all started when someone made a comment that his girlfriend's dress was too short.
clare, and her boyfriend say the rule was that it had to be as long as her fingertips, which they say was the case. Not too long after that James says Clare was pulled to the side and told she was dancing too provocatively
On Clare's blog she wrote quote "I hadn't been dancing at all! Much less seductively."
The followers believed that she would provoke impure thoughts in the boys. James says Clare was eventually kicked out of the prom and he along with the others in his group had to leave.
"They said the main reason for her getting kicked out started with dancing too provocatively and then it changed they went back to it being about the dress and we said we established that then they said we were just causing too much of a problem and we needed to leave." said James Thompson.
A decision both Clare and James say was not fair.
"It's sexism.They're saying you're making us feel a certain things so you have to do what we tell you to do and that's not right. "
Calls made to organizers for the homeschool prom were not returned.

Highlight overlapping date ranges using conditional formatting in excel
How to highlight overlapping date ranges (Excel 2007)
- Click "Home" tab
- Click "Conditional Formatting" button
- Click "New Rule.."
- Click "Use a formula to determine which cells to format"
- Type =SUMPRODUCT(($C6<=$D$6:$D$12)*($D6>=$C$6:$C$12))>1 in "Format values where this formula is TRUE" window.
- Click "Format.." button
- Click "Fill" tab
- Select a color for highlighting cells.
- Click "Ok"
- Click "Ok"
- Click "Ok"
Explaining conditional formatting formula
Step 1 - Filter records where ($C6<=$D$6:$D$12) is TRUE
$C6<=$D$6:$D$12 returns an array of TRUE and/or FALSE if date in cell C6 is smaller or equal to each date in $D$6:$D$12.
All dates in$D$6:$D$12 are larger than $C6 so the returning array is (TRUE, TRUE, TRUE,TRUE, TRUE, TRUE,TRUE)
Step 2 - Filter records where ($D6>=$C$6:$C$12) is TRUE
($D6>=$C$6:$C$12) returns an array of TRUE and/or FALSE if date in cell D6 is bigger or equal to each date in $C$6:$C$12.
The returning array is (TRUE, FALSE, FALSE,TRUE, FALSE, FALSE,FALSE)
Step 3 - Putting it all together
($C6<=$D$6:$D$12)* ($D6>=$C$6:$C$12)) returns the following array (1,0,0,1,0,0,0).
That means array number one and four is overlapping C6:D6) but in this case we just want to know if any date range is overlapping.
=SUMPRODUCT(($C6<=$D$6:$D$12)*($D6>=$C$6:$C$12)) sums the array (1,0,0,1,0,0,0) and returns 2.
If the formula returns a number bigger than one there is at least one overlapping date range.
=SUMPRODUCT(($C6<=$D$6:$D$12)*($D6>=$C$6:$C$12))>1 returns TRUE or FALSE.

McGinnis: 'I'm Still Here' hoax raises more questionsWritten by Jeff McGinnis | | firstname.lastname@example.com
As Robin Williams said in reference to the late Andy Kaufman, "Andy made himself the premise and the rest of the world was the punch line."
I almost called Kaufman a "comedian," but was comedy really the point? He was a gifted performer, no doubt, and crafted many hilarious moments during his time on stage. But just as often, his goal was much more complex and incendiary than that. Making people laugh was easy. Making them puzzled — even to the point of hate — and then making them laugh, now there's a challenge.
Kaufman's performances borrowed much from the wrestlers he lampooned and emulated in his work. Whether they love or loathe me, they're passionate about me, and that's enough. But beyond even his stage persona, the work he did offstage was even more puzzling and eccentric.
He created a loathsome lounge singer persona named Tony Clifton, who would insult the audience to the point of riots. Then, he secretly passed the character off to his friend and writer, Bob Zmuda, who played Clifton from then on, though everyone thought it was still Kaufman. Why? Maybe just because it fooled us.
When he was "injured" in a wrestling match, he spent time in a legitimate hospital recovering from his fake wounds. He created make-believe brawls in clubs and on television shows. His scams became so frequent that when Kaufman was dying of cancer, some people laughed, assuming it was yet another joke. He became the comic who cried wolf.
I've thought about Kaufman a lot during the past few days, as the latest chapters of the Joaquin Phoenix saga have played out. For two years, we have watched this gifted performer-turned-wannabe-rapper seemingly self-destructing. From the heights of Hollywood's A-list to the depths of pity and scorn, wrapped in a swath of arrogance and ludicrous facial hair. His memorably awkward 2009 appearance on David Letterman cemented the idea that he had lost his mind. People viewed Phoenix's public behavior the same way people view a car accident. We shouldn't look, but we couldn't help it.
But there was always doubt. Were we being fooled? Was the wool being pulled over our eyes, in classic Kaufman fashion? Casey Affleck, it was admitted, was following Phoenix everywhere with a camera crew, filming a documentary of his transition from movies to … uh … music(?). Was this a scam, an elaborate hoax?
Affleck's film, "I'm Still Here," opened Sept. 10 in limited release, to mixed reviews and audience response. When confronted by the filmed evidence, opinion was equally mixed on the question of its authenticity. If it's real, some said, it's a sad and terribly morbid film. If it's fake, what's the point?
Finally, speculation and controversy crystallized into admissions and, in some cases, outrage. Director Affleck, claiming to be stunned at the anger his film had engendered, admitted in an interview with The New York Times this week that it was fiction — all of it. Or, rather, performance art. "It's a terrific performance, it's the performance of his career," Affleck said of the two-year pseudo-deception.
As if to bolster the point, Phoenix has made public appearances recently, looking clean shaven and back-to-normal. He will appear once more on Letterman Sept. 22, his first post-supposed-meltdown appearance — one of which, Letterman writer Bill Scheft admitted in an interview with nuvo.net, was indeed all an act, and one which Dave was in on.
But if the past two years of Joaquin Phoenix's public life was indeed a grand charade, the larger question remains — why? What was the point of Phoenix and Affleck's plan? Just to make the movie? The same probably could have been accomplished without Phoenix playing his role so brazenly in public, wrecking an image that he must now work to repair. And if the "performance" was to create intrigue in the documentary, why come out now, and seemingly destroy that intrigue while the movie is just opening?
Maybe the point was an analysis and satire of the way the media and public view celebrity self-destruction. We gawked at Joaquin, just as we gawked at Britney and others. We love to build people up, and we love to tear them down. Maybe there was a more subtle plan in place with Affleck's film, but it ended up spiraling out of their control, leaving Phoenix in the lurch, but still oddly committed to his cause. Or maybe they did it just for the hell of it. We, as an audience, as with much conceptual art, are left to debate the value of what Affleck and Phoenix did — and whether it should have been done at all.
Joaquin made himself the premise. Time will tell what the punch line really is.

LeBlanc: Business as Usual for WVU
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – With today's announcement that West Virginia's men's soccer team has found a new home in the Mid-American Conference, what exactly does that mean for a Mountaineer program that has made five NCAA tournament appearances since 2005?
It means things will remain business as usual, says veteran WVU coach Marlon LeBlanc.
"One of the reasons I wanted to go with the MAC is that there is a conference priority on (men's soccer) much like there was in the Big East," he said. "The fact that there is a conference priority means they want their men's soccer teams competing at a national level. We've very, very positive about it and we think that the league is going to get stronger, and we know we've helped make the league a stronger one today as well."
Akron has long been the MAC's cornerstone men's soccer program, but Northern Illinois made the jump into the top 25 last year and LeBlanc says there are other solid programs in the conference as well. The biggest difference between the MAC and the Big East is the number of schools playing in the two leagues – the Big East had 16 schools playing in two divisions last season while the MAC now has eight schools with the addition of West Virginia.
"It's hard to compare because you are talking about one conference that was 16 teams and another one that's now going to be eight teams," LeBlanc said. "I think at the top you've got some very, very good programs in the MAC and at the top of the Big East you have some very, very good programs. You just have more of them in the Big East because of the sheer numbers we had."
Despite the switch from a league with a nine-game conference schedule last season to one that will employ a seven-game league slate this fall, LeBlanc said his scheduling philosophy will not change much.
"When I first came to WVU we played 11 conference games. In 2012 was actually going to be the first year (the Big East was) going to go down to eight conference games - the reason being the impact on the RPI because your non-conference carries a stronger weight against the RPI than your in-conference schedule," he explained. "The Big East is obviously a very, very good league. Was it 16 teams deep? Not everybody was at the same level of competitiveness so the decision was made from that standpoint to reduce, so going from what would have been an eight-game league schedule to a seven-game schedule is really indifferent."
LeBlanc maintains that his program has never relied on conference affiliation to earn an NCAA tournament bid anyway. He says his regular-season schedule is designed to take care of that.
"It's about what we do through our entire body of work and our non-conference schedule has always been a top-15, top-20 non conference schedule since I've been at WVU and this year is no different than any other," he said. "We were already loaded up from a non-conference perspective; we've had to add a few more games, and we've had to do a little schedule manipulating and juggling to make this thing work, but we are close to having our 2012 schedule in place in the next few weeks."
And that includes trying to maintain some of the traditional rivalries West Virginia has built up through the years against some of the most successful Big East programs.
"We tried to do a little creative scheduling this year in order to keep some of those rivalries going," he admitted. "We'd like to continue to play UConn. We'd like to continue to play Notre Dame because they're good programs. South Florida is one we are hoping to keep as well. Right now, we're just trying to get 2012 pieced together before we can get to those guys."
LeBlanc said West Virginia did briefly consider competing as an independent before coming to the conclusion that the Mid-American Conference was the best alternative for the men's soccer program at the present time with some leagues still trying to figure out their future configurations.
"We couldn't risk not knowing what would happen so we needed to move forward," he said. "The independence route was just another option. I think from our perspective, being in a league where we knew we were going to have a schedule put together, I felt more comfortable having that in place than not knowing because the conferences were still looking at making some moves."
He continued.
"The conference affiliation really offers you the games and the automatic bid. Right now we have 22 conferences with automatic bids and 26 at-large spots," said LeBlanc. "(Having an automatic bid is) a nice nugget to have at the end of the year if you're desperate, but if you've done your job then you're not sitting there on (selection) Monday wondering whether or not you're going to be in the tournament."
Ultimately, LeBlanc believes his program will add to what he believes is already and up and coming men's soccer conference in the MAC.
"I'm a strong believer that the schools make the conference; the conference doesn't make the schools," he said. "I believe us going to the MAC will raise the bar in that conference - not just by West Virginia being a good team in that league - but West Virginia being committed to the sport, being successful and being able to schedule teams like North Carolina and Penn State and Wake Forest and some of the other big hitters. If we can do well in those games and a MAC team is able to beat West Virginia, then that helps the entire league because the entire league's RPI jumps up significantly.
"We've very, very positive about it and we think that the league is going to get stronger and we know we've helped make the league a stronger one today as well," he concluded.
West Virginia has made a four-year commitment to the MAC.

Preserving the Past, Informing the Future
|Skip Navigation Links
Roger S. Baldwin died in New Haven, his native town, on the 19th day of February, 1863.
There are especial reasons why the members of the profession, as well as the public at large, in this state, should accord to his memory unusual honors. He had been for many years one of the brightest ornaments of our bar, and had also been, in various capacities, a most able, upright and faithful servant of our commonwealth.
He was of the best Connecticut stock on both sides, and was worthy of his pedigree. His father, Simeon Baldwin, who died about twelve years ago, universally respected and beloved, had been a representative of this state in Congress, and, for many years, a judge of the Superior Court and of the Supreme Court of Errors; and was a lineal descendant of John Baldwin, a Puritan emigrant from England, who came hither with Davenport, Prudden, Whitfield, and the other original settlers of New Haven, Milford and Guilford, and who was himself of the thirty-five original proprietors by whom the town of Norwich was afterwards settled.
His mother was a daughter of Roger Sherman, the statesman so justly renowned as one of the committee which reported the Declaration of Independence, as one of the signers of that instrument, as one of the ablest members of the convention which formed the constitution of the United States, and as a distinguished Representative and Senator from this state in the Congress of the United States.
Roger Sherman Baldwin was born January 4th, 1793. He entered Yale College in 1807; graduated with honor at the age of eighteen; then studied law in his father's office, and afterwards, under the able instruction of Judge Reeve and Judge Gould, in the law school at Litchfield; and was admitted to the bar in 1814. He then commenced practice in New Haven; and from that time until the close of his life, except during those periods when his attention was engaged by official duties in the public service, devoted himself with unremitting energy to the pursuit of his profession.
In 1826 he was a member of the common council of New Haven, and in 1828 was one of the aldermen of that city. In 1837 he was a member of the senate of this state; and in 1838 was re-elected, and was chosen president pro tempore of that body. In 1840 and in 1841 he was a Representative of New Haven in the General Assembly. In 1844 he was chosen Governor of Connecticut, and in 1845 was re-elected to that office. In 1847 he was temporarily appointed by the Governor to fill that vacancy in the senate of the United States occasioned by the death of Senator Huntington; and in May, 1818, he was elected by the General Assembly as senator of the United States for the unexpired portion of Senator Huntington's term, which ended in 1851. In 1860 he was chosen as one of the Electors of President for the state at large; and was afterwards, by appointment of Governor Buckingham, a member of the celebrated "Peace Congress", in which he occupies a prominent and influential position.
Probably no lawyer ever attained in Connecticut a higher rank at the bar than that which was generally conceded to Governor Baldwin by his professional brethren. He possessed every one of the characteristics and faculties of a great lawyer. All of those characteristics and faculties he possessed in a high degree, and many of them in a pre-eminent degree. In any forum, anywhere - in the Supreme Court at Washington, or in Westminster Hall, or at any other bar where our system of jurisprudence is understood and practiced - Governor Baldwin would have been regarded, not merely as a skillful practitioner, but as a man entitled to rank among the great lawyers of his day.
He possessed a comprehensive and thorough acquaintance with the science of his profession. He was master of its learning. He understood it in its great doctrines and in it details. In short he had that legal scholarship, that legal acumen, that legal knowledge, which no intellect but a high one can attain at all, and which even a great intellect can not fully acquire without long, thorough and conscientious labor.
Although Governor Baldwin was powerful before the jury, he was more truly in his proper element before the court. A strong antagonist in trying questions of fact, he was especially formidable in the argument of nice and difficult questions of law.
His discourse, whether addressed to the court or the jury, was marked by uniform purity and transparency of style. His English was perfect. He was always able to say, - guarding with proper qualifications, exceptions and limitations, when necessary, every sentence and phrase, so that his idea, when expressed, stood forth sharply defined, exactly in the form in which he wished it to appear. Rarely, if ever, has he been known to construct an entangled or imperfect sentence. His steady and clear intellect so controlled his tongue, that with him every sentence spontaneously assumed its fit beginning, its appropriately arranged contents, and its accurate and graceful termination.
His oratory was not often impassioned. It was dignified, logical, clear and convincing, addressed to the intellect rather than to the feelings. Yet, having in himself a large reserve of feeling, he possessed the power of appealing in terms of impressive earnestness to the higher sentiments and sympathies of men. Personal pride, the sense of honor, contempt for meanness and fraud, indignation at corruption and injustice - these and such like sentiments of the human heart he knew how, on proper occasions, to touch and to inflame.
In guarding the interests of his clients his watchfulness was incessant. No circumstance, which might affect those interests favorably or unfavorably, escaped his notice or failed to receive his full attention. He never abandoned, without a vigorous contest, any claim, great or small, which he thought that his client could rightfully make, and which it was important in the slightest degree for him to maintain.
In his relations to his clients, to the court, and to his professional brethren, he was always courteous sincere, upright and honorable. His professional character, like his personal character, in whatever light it may be viewed, stands forth without one solitary stain upon it.
Such, in short, was the lawyer whom one of his most distinguished professional brethren - the late General Kimberly - pronounced to be "the ablest lawyer that Connecticut has ever produced in any part of her history."
Governor Baldwin, although an earnest Whig and Republican, was not by any means, in the popular sense of the term, a politician. The arts of politicians he did not understand; and if he had understood them he would have scorned to use them. Therefore while he firmly held, and on all proper occasions energetically vindicated, his political opinions, he was, always treated with sincere respect by his political opponents. He never sought office. He never would consent to do any thing for the purpose of securing to himself a nomination or an election. Indeed his friends were sometimes disposed to complain of his excessive punctiliousness in this respect. Undoubtedly he desired to be returned to the United States Senate at the close of his term of service in that body. He did not say so; but his friends were conscious that such was his desire. He had ambition, - such ambition as was worthy of such a man. He had enjoyed his senatorial life. Its duties suited his style of mind and character; and it was impossible for him not to feel that he was able to discharge those duties with honor to himself and to his native state. When the question of his re-election came up in the General Assembly there was in the House of Representatives only as bare majority of Whigs, some two or three of whom declined to vote for him (although he was the nominee of their party) because they were under an impression that his opinions on some points did not exactly accord with the policy of their party as they understood it. His intimate friends knew that this impression had so little foundation that they could easily remove the obstacles in the way of his re-election if they could procure from him for their use, a written statement of his opinions upon the points in question. Such a statement he firmly and persistently refused to give; -declaring that he would not put himself into the position of a seeker of office; that such a written statement of his opinions would be regarded, under the circumstances, as a pledge: and that, in his judgment, a member of the senate ought to occupy in that body a position not trammeled by pledges of any sort whatsoever. The result was that he was not re-elected; -a result which he knew to be probable, if not certain, but which he was willing to accept rather than swerve from a principle of action which he considered sound.
If, however, rigor of his principles constituted, to no small extent, a barrier to his political success, he did not fail to distinguish himself in those official positions to which he was sometimes called. His administration as Governor of Connecticut was dignified and able. Chancellor Kent said of his annual address to the General Assembly, that they recalled "the bright days of the Trumbulls, Ellsworths and Shermans, who threw such a lustre on the golden annals of the state." He took a high rank in the senate of the United States when it contained some of the ablest men who ever sat within its hall-Webster, Clay, Benton, Calhoun, Seward, and their contemporaries. He devoted himself with characteristic fidelity to his duties in that high place; and during the four years of his service there, few if any, of the members of the senate took a more active part in its debates and other proceedings than he. His principle speeches were upon the Mexican war, and the extension of slavery as connected with it; the admission of California into the Union; the Compromise Measures of 1850, especially the Fugitive Slave Law; and the Oregon bill. His speech against the Fugitive Slave Law was regarded by the opponents of that measure as an overwhelming and unanswerable argument against it, while the advocates of the law, however they might dissent from his conclusions, did not withhold from him the respect due to the power which he displayed in the discussion of his subject. His most spirited speech however was an impromptu one in reply to Mr. Manson, of Virginia, who had ventured to institute offensive comparisons between Virginia and Connecticut in regard to the Revolutionary history of the two states. Mr. Baldwin was the last man to shrink from a contest with any antagonist on such a subject. Mason's attack upon Connecticut was unprovoked, insolent and confident. No sooner had he taken his seat than Mr. Baldwin sprang to his feet. By a few words full of dignity, force and fire, he completely overwhelmed his adversary; and not only overwhelmed him but drove him into ignominious silence. At the conclusion of Mr. Baldwin's speech, Senator Underwood, of Kentucky, rose and suggested that his "friend from Virginia" had "in this contest" manifested "much more valor than discretion," and advised him to not pursue the matter farther. The Virginian was wise enough to act upon his advise, and the debate thereupon ended. It was not safe for any man, as Mr. Mason on this occasion discovered to disparage Connecticut in the hearing of her senator. He was well acquainted with the history of his country. He knew too (what citizens of other states seldom care to remember, and perhaps seldom know, and, what we ourselves do not seem always to properly appreciate,) that the state which he represented had a history, civil, military, which enabled her to compare favorably, not only with Virginia, or with any other state in this Union, but with any commonwealth that ever existed upon earth; and with that history, especially dear to him for many reasons, he was perfectly familiar. Proud therefore of his native state, and abundantly able to defend her against all attacks, from whatever quarter they might come, he was always, while in her service, the vigilant guardian of her interests and her honor.
No part of Governor Baldwin's public life was more anxious, arduous and exhausting to him than the brief period during which he was a member of the "Peace Congress." In that body, as a member of a committee of one from each state therein represented, he made a minority report in his own name, which he presented to the convention, with an accompanying resolution recommending the several states "to unite with Kentucky in her application to Congress to call a convention for proposing amendments the constitution of the United States." This report and this resolution be supported, in a powerful speech, which was the last great effort of his public life.
The reserve and resistance which were marked characteristics of Governor Baldwin, made him appear, to those who did not know him, somewhat distant and formal; while, in fact, as those who were better acquainted with him knew perfectly well, kindness of heart, sensitiveness to the sufferings of others, and forwardness to give pleasure and confer happiness upon all within his reach, were fundamental traits in his character.
This sketch, necessarily short and imperfect, accomplishes its purpose and does justice to the subject of it only so far as it depicts the character, and partly discloses the life, of a great lawyer, whose own virtues secluded him in a measure from those opportunities distinction in public life to which his abilities entitled him, - and of an incorruptible, sensitive, honorable man, who did his duty in this life well and faithfully in those stations whereunto it pleased God to call him, and who died at last, lamented most by those who knew him best, and respected by everybody who knew him, leaving behind him, for the honor and comfort of his children, a noble and unsullied reputation.[footer.htm]

I keep clicking...
I'm not sure on this. I already have two photo apps that work for my newly ordered ipad. I'll decide on this later.
It doesn't work on the iPod touch! That really sucks.
Im really sad that Iphoto is not compatible for the ipod touch 4g, wonder why? Also, they excluded the ipod touch for trailers in imovie too! Seems they want people to buy expensive Ipads or Iphone 4s. They don't really care about any ipod touch users, they only make the iphone and ipad better, not ipod touch.
The IPAD is an Ipod Touch with a bigger lcd secren. Now you might say : omg that guy is ridiculous there must be something new about it. Well no. You see you can jailbreak your Ipod Touch to make it a more advanced device but apple decided that you should not do that with you Ipod because they know that the product might overheat and cause defectivness if you try to pull more power out of it. The same thing is happening with the Ipad right now. There is high restrictions on the apps you can use. It is very limited to apple's app. It will release for 500$ for the version with Wi-fi. Il be honest with you and ill tell you that IPAD should of been released before ipod touch because IPAD is just an oversized IPOD.

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26, 2002 Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said strengthening democracies is the work of both NATO and the Inter-American System.
Rumsfeld spoke today about his recent trip to attend the Defense Ministerial of the Americas in Santiago, Chile, and the NATO Summit in Prague, Czech Republic. He then answered questions at the Foreign Press Center here.
"The two meetings took place a half a world apart, yet I was struck by the similarities of objectives," Rumsfeld said.
In Europe and the Americas, democracies are "seeking to consolidate democratic gains" and adapt institutions built during the Cold War to the threats of the 21st Century. "There were some who thought with the end of the Cold War, that NATO might be somewhat less relevant," he said. "Instead the opposite has taken place. More countries are seeking to join, and our decades of security cooperation among the NATO allies is paying off as new threats emerge."
He noted that the same thing is happening in the Inter-American System. "The need for the nations of our hemisphere to work together has not diminished at all," Rumsfeld said. "It has grown as has the need for the institutions that facilitate hemispheric cooperation."
In both Santiago and Prague, American delegates offered concrete proposals to facilitate this cooperation. In Chile, the United States offered a naval initiative to encourage cooperation and to upgrade command and control systems of participating countries. U.S. officials also proposed an initiative to integrate national peacekeeping capabilities into a regional effort. "Both were well-received," Rumsfeld said.
In Prague, alliance nations approved streamlining command structures and a NATO Response Force. "And most importantly, NATO invited seven former Cold War adversaries to become allies," the secretary said today. "For one who served as U.S. ambassador to NATO during the height of the Cold War, it was a moving experience to be there as the presidents of those seven nations spoke about what the day meant for them personally and for the people of their respective countries."
Rumsfeld told the foreign reporters the experience assures him that, despite the dangers of the new millennium, "freedom is ascendant, and the cause of liberty has prevailed over the darkness of tyranny and terror, and will do so again."

It does need a little more flavor. I added rosemary to mashed potatoes and also the egg/milk mixture. I also was out of evap milk, so just used regular milk. Took longer to cook but tasted grea...
This is great, I added sun dried tomatos in olive oil.
Made as directed, except no Cheddar cheese so used Mozzella instead. Prep time was 45 min, baking time 63 min. Quiche tasted great, but could have used more flavor. Next time will try small cube...

UNC accepts more than 6,000 first-deadline students
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill offered admission to more than 6,000 candidates from a record first-deadline pool of 16,987.
The pool was 12 percent larger than last year, marking the second year in a row Carolina has set a record for the number of first-deadline applicants, according to UNC.
A total of 31,209 students (first and second deadline) have applied for first-year admission, marking the ninth consecutive record number of first-year applications at the campus.
Decisions for second-deadline applicants will be released by the end of March, and the university expects 3,990 new first-year students to enroll in August.
Accomplishments by the 6,036 admitted students range from creating organizations to combat bullying and increase self-esteem in schools and raising funds to help communities in Panama, Ethiopia, Malawi, Nepal and Sri Lanka, to conducting research at the National Institutes of Health, the U.S. Naval Medical Research Center, UNC and Stanford University.
"We've tried our best to evaluate all our candidates individually, rigorously and sympathetically," Stephen Farmer, UNC vice provost for enrollment and undergraduate admissions, said in a statement. "Although we've paid careful attention to grades and test scores, we've also tried hard to go beyond them. These students are more than their numbers, and we haven't admitted or denied anyone on the basis of a single score or grade. The personal qualities of our admitted students are as impressive as their academic credentials, and we look forward to working with them to make the university and the world a better place."
Eighty-five percent of all admitted students who reported a rank are in the top 10 percent of their class. The average SAT score rose 18 points, from 2026 to 2044. The average ACT score, 31, did not change.
Admitted students hail from 94 North Carolina counties, 48 states and 27 countries, including the United States.
Of those students who reported race or ethnicity, 18 percent identified themselves as American Indian, African American or Hispanic; and 33 percent identified themselves as students of color. The university accepted 175 international students, representing a 35-percent increase over last year. Thirteen percent will be the first generation of their family to graduate from college.
Since July, the admissions office welcomed about 23,000 prospective students and family members for an information session and student-led tour. During this same time period, recruitment staff visited 164 high schools and attended 219 college events across the state, 108 high schools and 52 college events across the nation, and 44 college events in nine additional countries. In September, the office unveiled a new website and enhanced its outreach through social media to engage prospective students online.

Board authorizes construction of new park
HUNTINGTON -- The Greater Huntington Park and Recreation District's Board of Commissioners approved a contract Wednesday authorizing the construction of a new park at the site of the former Veterans Memorial Field House.
Veterans Memorial Park will be located on the northeast corner of the property where Marshall University's new soccer stadium complex is now being built.
Space designated for a small park was part of the agreement in the Park District selling the former Veterans Memorial Field House property to Marshall so it could build what will be known as the Veterans Memorial Soccer Complex. Marshall also gave the Park District $100,000 to build the park.
It will cost $114,000 to construct the park, which will feature a patriotic-themed playground, picnic shelter and picnic tables. In addition to the money from Marshall, the Park District will use proceeds from the sale of Field House memorabilia and the farewell event there last year to help pay for construction.
Park District Executive Director Kevin Brady said construction will begin in April and should be finished by sometime in June, just ahead of completion of the soccer complex.
When the Field House was demolished last summer, an inscription panel honoring veterans was removed from the facade of the Field House. According to Marshall officials, the panel will hang above the main entrance of the soccer complex.
In other business Wednesday, the Park District gave Brady the green light to move forward with a plan to replace the playground at Rotary Park on Huntington's east end.
"The wooden playground that's there now is rotting," Brady said. "It's a less-than-desirable situation."
The Park District will let Brady seek companies to build a new playground with a $60,000 budget. Half of that money will come from the Rotary Club and Huntington Foundation. The Park District will match those groups' contributions, Brady said.

World is puzzled by a recent announcement of Apple, which says that the faulty Do Not Disturb (DND) function present in its iOS 6 software will get fixed on its own. Apple has asked people not to take any action, as the problem is going to get resolved by 7 January 2013.
People are now questioning Apple, as how it is sure about the fact that the change will take place and the problem is going to get fixed. But, there are experts, who said that they are aware of the matter.
Patrick McCarron, who is an iOS developer, said that the ISO week of 2012 is going to end on 6 January 2013 and that might be the reason that Apple has been saying that problem will get resolved on 7 January 2013.
To talk about the problem that people have been facing due to that bug, experts explained that the DND let people trouble by unwanted calls, messages and texts. Apple said that they have come across the problem and are sure that the problem will get fixed on the above mentioned date. They have also stated the same on their official website, said officials known to the matter.

Hello Jeff,
I purchased your book "Introduction to Neural Networks with Java, 2nd Edition".
I regret that I did not know this book earlier. Contrary to most books I know of Neural Networks, this book is a good mix of theory and practice. For people who want to program the applications themselves this is a great book. It is the only book I know that teaches you how to make the necessary programs him- (her-)self. Thank you Jeff. The only criticism I have is the download site.
That is a disaster. Listing 3.4 is missing. At the download site only "Introduction to Neural Networks with Java" the first edition is mentioned, not the 2nd Edition. Except Listing 3.4 there are more listings, that cannot be found. If you correct that it could be 100% perfect.
kind regards,
Jan van der Peet
email address: firstname.lastname@example.com
Thanks! Glad the book is useful. Also, sorry you are having problems finding the file above.
You can find the 2nd edition download on the download site, which is here.
The 2nd edition is there, it is there, it is the fourth link, ISBN 1604390085.
Make sure you have the 2nd edition download, if you use the first, nothing will make sense. There were quite a few changes.
Download the examples and extract, you will find Listing 3.4 in the following location.

So you think you love God
It has been said that "Death is a punishment for wrong doers."
If this is true, I must conclude plants, animals and the entire Universe are wrong doers too.
But stop and think for a moment, if it were not for death, Adam and Eve and we too would have nothing to eat. If it weren't for death, the Earth would be wall to wall people and we would be worse off than people on a subway at 5 p.m.
So I ask this. Would you still love God if death were just a natural part of life? Would you still love God if death is just the end and there were no life beyond death? Is your ability to love God limited by the idea that you will have an afterlife in Heaven? Is your love of God so shallow that it depends upon you constantly being rewarded for "being good?"
I would suggest that a love that is always bought and paid for isn't much of a love. It's no better than the love a man gets from a prostitute he has bought and paid for.

Rob McKittrick set to write actor's passion project
Jay Baruchel is finally bringing his passion project — based on his character Johnny Klutz –to the big screen.
Rob McKittrick has come aboard to write "Johnny Klutz," a comedy Universal picked up with Baruchel attached to star and Red Hour producing.
Working from his love of physical comedy, Baruchel created the character of Klutz, a lovable loser who is impervious to pain. He paired with Red Hour in the fall, pitching the concept to Universal execs Lawrence Grey and Eric Baiers. Grey has since departed the studio, a victim of company's December layoffs. Red Hour, which was based at DreamWorks, has since signed a first-look deal at Fox.
Baruchel and Red Hour kept honing the character, trying to crack his story, eventually meeting with McKittrick, the writer-director behind the ensemble comedy "Waiting …," starring Ryan Reynolds and Anna Faris. McKittrick came up with a story based on the Klutz character, which put the project in gear.
Ben Stiller, Stuart Cornfeld and Jeremy Kramer are producing for Red Hour. Thruline's Marc Hamou and Willie Mercer, who rep Baruchel, will serve as executive producers.
Baiers and Dave Targan will oversee the project for Universal.
McKittrick, repped by CAA and H2F, has several projects in development, including the comedies "Man Crush" and "The Wingman" at New Line.
Canada native Baruchel slowly has been moving up the comedy food chain in Hollywood, starring in the short-lived "Undeclared," the feature "Knocked Up" and finally landing a key part in "Tropic Thunder," produced by Red Hour.
The actor, additionally repped by CAA, is prepping to shoot the Disney-Bruckheimer movie "The Sorcerer's Apprentice," opposite Nicolas Cage, and has "She's Out of My League" in the can.

The intelligent power factor correction (IPFC) device is designed to attach directly to a breaker box on the inside of a residence or small business with single phase electric service. Its design mounts quickly in order to minimize installation time. An LCD screen provides the homeowner with real time data including Power Factor, Voltage, and Amps. The Intelligent Power Factor Correction (IPFC) devise is designed to keep the power factor as close to perfect as possible in order to make the home or building more efficient and use less electricity thereby helping to reduce our carbon footprint and save money.
The reason we would choose an Intelligent Power Factor Correction (IPFC) devise instead if an unintelligent power factor correction devise is due to efficiency. With the intelligent, or, automatic adjusting devise (as it is sometimes called) the electricity coming into the home or building is constantly being monitored. As the load changes in the home or building, the intelligent devise (IPFC) changes accordingly to add the right amount of capacitance as needed at that moment to keep the power factor as close to perfect as possible.
As of now, the cost for the intelligent power factor correction devises (IPFC) has gone down which means the demand is going up.
It has been difficult to find a good quality product at a reasonable price until now for a single phase, or, residential application. Our perseverance has paid off. Now we can say we offer a very affordable solution for an energy saving intelligent power factor correction devise (IPFC).
Contact us or a dealer near you to order your intelligent power factor correction devise (IPFC).

Shadow Hamilton
They come in all shapes and sizes
some are long and thin, others fat
little ones broad as they are long
some with hairs that give a sting
All kinds of colours we come in
circles and stripes adorn us
winged critters are some of us
others have legs or even none
Our main task is to clear up
to compost the old vegetation
to pollinate the flowers
we are essential to continued life
Dodo is Swahili an East African language for insect of any kind

text: Give/ Give Financially Giving Options Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the LORD of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need. —Malachi 3:10 As believers, it is critical that we understand what the Bible says about tithing.

Mizzou Arena
Bowers' Double-Double Leads Mizzou to 63-60 Upset of No. 5 Florida
Laurence Bowers had 17 points plus 10 rebounds and Missouri erased a 13-point deficit midway through the second half to rally past No. 5 Florida 63-60 on Tuesday night. Phil Pressey added 10 assists, seven points, six rebounds and three steals for Missouri (19-7, 8-5 SEC). The Tigers didn't have Bowers a month ago in a 31-point blowout loss at Florida. Mike Rosario had 14 points for Florida (21-4, 11-2) but missed a 3-point try at the buzzer. The Gators had won 13 of 14 and led 49-36 with 10:51 left, then hurt themselves at the foul line.
Mizzou Tigers at No. 3 Florida Gators
For Openers...
> Missouri Basketball hits the road for another challenging contest as the Tigers travel to Gainesville, Fla., to take on the No. 3 Florida Gators ... Florida has won 27 consecutive home games, the third longest active streak in America, while Missouri is 3-2 away from home this season and earned a quality, 75-71, win at Arkansas' Bud Walton Arena in its last road appearance.
> The Tigers are coming off an 84-79 home loss to No. 11 Kentucky on Saturday ... Mizzou got outstanding offensive efforts from juniors Jabari Brown (33 points) and Jordan Clarkson (28 points), the top scoring duo in a power conference this year ... In fact in all of college basketball, the combined 39.3 points coming from Brown and Clarkson this year ranks No. 3 nationally, just behind the VMI collection of QJ Peterson (21.1) and Rodney Glasgow (19.1) and the Louisiana-Lafayette pair of Elfrid Payton (20.0) and Shawn Long (19.8).
> While the Tigers dropped that decision to No. 11 Kentucky on Saturday, Haith has been a very good 10-5 vs. Top 25 opponents as the head coach of Mizzou and is 5-3 vs. the Top 10 ... Mizzou's last Top 10 road win came in 2012, 89-88, at No. 3 Baylor.
> Has anyone in college basketball been better than Jabari Brown over the last month?... The junior has topped 20 points in six consecutive league outings and is averaging 25.8 points on 60.3 percent shooting from the floor and 65.7 percent shooting from three-point range ... During the stretch Brown is averaging 0.7 points per minute played and is averaging 1.5 points per field goal attempt, not including his impressive 38-of-44 shooting at the foul line.
> Brown has been especially good in the second half of games during this run, averaging 15.8 points on 65 percent shooting from the floor and 67 percent shooting from beyond the arc.
> The last Tiger with six consecutive 20-point games was Doug Smith (nine consecutive) during the 1990-91 season and both Brown and Clarkson have reached double figures in all-21 games played this year, the most since Kareem Rush scored 10+ in 21 consecutive games in 2000-01 ... Melvin Booker opened the 1993-94 season with 23 consecutive double figure games and Smith reached double figures in all 30 games of that aforementioned 1990-91 season.
> With Brown surging into league play the Tigers have three award candidates in the backcourt ... Clarkson was named to the Wooden Award Midseason Top 25 list and Earnest Ross is one of the SEC's most versatile players ... Clarkson was one of college basketball's Top 25 players through the first half of the 2013-14 season and ranks among the SEC's leaders in scoring (18.9) and assists (3.4), which includes 11 20-point games (tied with Brown for the team lead).
> Mizzou is 16-5 on the season and its five losses are by a combined 21 points to Illinois (1), Vanderbilt (3), Kentucky (5), Georgia (6) in overtime and at LSU (6) ... The Tigers are accustomed to playing close ball games this year, with 13 of their last 14 outcomes being decided by 10 points or less.
Mizzou Basketball Cliffs...
> Mizzou Basketball hits the road for the third consecutive Tuesday as the Tigers travel to Gainesville, Fla., to face the SEC-leading Gators on ESPN's Super Tuesday.
> It's Missouri's second trip to Gainesville in series history ... The Tigers fell to the Gators, 83-52, last season, but did rally back for a 63-60 home win one month later.
> Florida is a perfect 12-0 at home this year and has won 13 consecutive games overall leading into Tuesday's contest ... Missouri is coming off an 84-79 loss to No. 11 Kentucky on Saturday despite a career high 33 points from Jabari Brown and 28 from Jordan Clarkson.
> The 33 points from Brown pushed his scoring average to 20.4 points per game on the year, which ranks No. 22 nationally and is fourth among high major conference players.
> The combined 61 points from Brown and Clarkson are the most at Mizzou in a regulation game since Derrick Chievous (42) and Byron Irvin (21) combined for 63 points in a 105-96 win against Virginia Tech on Dec. 16, 1987.
> Mizzou has improved its field goal percentage defense each season under Haith and the Tigers currently rank No. 3 in the SEC in FG% defense (.394) ... The last time the Tigers limited opponents to sub-40 percent shooting from the floor was Norm Stewart's final year (1998-99), when opponents shot just 39.3 percent for the season.
> Last Tuesday, Arkansas was averaging 82.9 points per game on the year and an impressive 89.3 points at Bud Walton Arena, but the Tigers held the Razorbacks to just 71 points on the road, Arkansas' fewest this year at home ... This is becoming a trend for the Tigers ... In non-conference play the Tigers faced two of the nation's top scoring teams, West Virginia and UCLA, and held the two clubs a combined 35 points below their scoring norms ... Mizzou also held Western Michigan 10.6 points below its season scoring average, Illinois 6.5 points below its norm, N.C. State 13.0 points below its average and Long Beach State 8.3 points below its average.
> Mizzou continues to be one of the top free throw shooting teams in the SEC, both by volume and percentage of makes ... The Tigers lead the SEC with 72.0 percent shooting from the foul stripe and Mizzou's 19.6 free throw makes per game ranks No. 2 behind Kentucky (20.9) and ranks No. 28 nationally.
> Jabari Brown (106), Jordan Clarkson (96) and Earnest Ross (94) are each approaching 100 free throw makes this year ... The Tigers haven't had three players with 100 makes in a season since 1995-96.
> Missouri has had at least one player score 20 or more points in 17-of-21 games this season and have enjoyed multiple 20-point scorers six times, including three consecutive games ... Jabari Brown has six consecutive 20-point efforts, including a career high 33 points on Saturday vs. Kentucky ... Brown has topped 20 points 16 times in his career and Mizzou is 13-3 in those contests.
> The Tigers have a total of 25 20-point games this season, all coming from Clarkson (11), Brown (11) and Ross (3) ... Missouri had a player top 20 points 25 times all of last season.
> Missouri has been one of the leagues better rebounding teams as well, ranking No. 3 in the SEC with a +6.9 rebounding margin ... The Tigers average 27.3 defensive boards per game, No. 1 in the SEC.
> Missouri recorded a rare ACC road win on Dec. 28 at N.C. State ... Although the Tigers haven't played many road games in ACC territory, the win in Raleigh was the second in ACC country in program history ... Mizzou won 87-73 at Maryland on Jan. 24, 1989 ... It was the club's first non-league road win since a 75-68 win at Old Dominion on Dec. 30, 2011.
> Head Coach Frank Haith will coach his 316th career game overall and is a spectacular 64-21 in three seasons at Mizzou ... Haith was the fastest coach in school history to 50 wins and has just one starter back for the second consecutive campaign.
> Haith is quickly approaching his 200th career victory ... He has 193 career wins heading into Tuesday's game.
> Missouri is being led in scoring by the dynamic junior tandem of Jabari Brown (20.4 ppg) and Jordan Clarkson (18.9) ... The duo is combining for 39.3 points per game, No. 1 in the Southeastern Conference, just ahead of the Auburn duo of KT Harrell and Chris Denson ... Brown leads the SEC in scoring during league play (23.6 ppg) and tops in the league overall with 20.4 tallies per night ... Clarkson ranks No. 6 in the conference in scoring and his 18.3 points in eight league contests also ranks No. 6.
> The pair is one of two teammate tandems in high-major college basketball averaging 18.0+ points per game.
> Johnathan Williams, III is on pace to become the first Tiger freshman to lead the team in rebounding since Linas Kleiza (8.4) in 2003-04 ... Williams is coming off a 12-rebound effort at Arkansas and is No. 7 in the SEC in rebounding.
> Mizzou plays in the friendly confines of Mizzou Arena where the club is 43-3 since 2011-12 and went a perfect 17-0 at home last season.
> Mizzou boasts a 147-23 (.870) record at home since the building opened in 2004-05 ... The Tigers are also 94-6 at home since 2008-09, amounting to an incredible .940 winning percentage.
> Non-conference opponents have not enjoyed their stops in Columbia, Mo., over the last few seasons and the Tigers have raced to an incredible 81 consecutive wins at home vs. non-league opposition since the end of the 2005-06 campaign ... Missouri's last non-conference loss at home came vs. Sam Houston State in the 2005 Preseason NIT, but since then, Missouri has gone nearly eight full seasons without a loss.
> That non-conference win streak is No. 2 nationally behind Duke ... Duke has won 109 consecutive non-ACC games at home.
> Jordan Clarkson recorded the first 30-point game of the SEC season on Nov. 12 and logged the 26th 30-point game during Missouri's SEC / Big 12 eras ... Clarkson needed just 18 shots to reach 31 points (12-of-18 FGs), and is one of just two Tigers during the two eras to have 30+ points, 5+ assists and zero turnovers ... Clarence Gilbert had a ridiculous 43 points, nine assists and zero turnovers vs. Iowa State in a four overtime win on Jan. 13, 2001.
> Clarkson has topped 20 points in 10 of his last 17 games ... The junior has topped 20 points 11 times in 21 games overall.
> Head Coach Frank Haith enters his third season at Missouri and will look to lead the Tigers to their third consecutive 20-win campaign ... Only Norm Stewart, Quin Snyder and Mike Anderson have enjoyed three 20-win seasons at Mizzou ... Stewart of course led the way with 17 20-win campaigns ... Snyder and Anderson each had three.
> Missouri has won at historic levels over the last five seasons ... In fact the Tigers have won 23+ games each of the last five seasons.
> The five consecutive 20-win seasons is a school record and Missouri's five consecutive trips to the NCAA Tournament is the longest active streak in the Southeastern Conference.
> Mizzou Arena has been the site of two undefeated home seasons in its history ... Missouri was 18-0 in 2008-09 and was 17-0 at home last season ... Hearnes Center, the former home of Missouri Basketball, was the site of five undefeated home campaigns (1974-75, 1980-81, 1988-89, 1989-90 and 1993-94).
> Since 2006-07 (72-0) the club's margin of victory has been 25.8 points in those non-league home tilts.
> Mizzou has three transfers sitting out this season ... Zach Price transferred from Louisville, where the 6-foot-10 forward was a member of the Cardinals' NCAA National Championship team ... Deuce Bello transferred from Baylor ... Both will be classified as redshirt juniors next season ... Most recently the Tigers added Cam Biedscheid from Notre Dame at semester break.
> Mizzou will be on national television a school-record 20 times this season ... That number has grown each of Mizzou's two years in the SEC ... The Tigers were on national TV 18 times last season, which was also a school record.
> Mizzou was picked fifth in the Southeastern Conference's preseason media poll ... Kentucky was the projected league champion.
