"The most powerful work Card has produced. Speaker not only completes Ender's Game, it transcends it." (Fantasy Review)
"The Enderverse"
This is my favorite science fiction series. The characters are easy to identify with, and you will find yourself sucked into this imaginary universe, nicknamed the Enderverse by fans.
Recommended order of reading (in my opinion): Ender?s Game, Ender's Shadow, Shadow of the Hegemon, Shadow Puppets, Shadow of the Giant, Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, Children of the Mind. Reading the books in this order will keep you interested and keep the story moving more naturally.
If after reading all of these wonderful books you are still itching for an Enderverse fix then read First Meetings. The list above is sorted by the Enderverse timeline. Meaning that the flow of events in the stories are uninterrupted. If you were to read the books in the order they were published, you would bounce back and forth in between time and few of the plot twists in future books would be revealed before you wanted them to be known. First Meetings, however contains short stories that occur both before and in between the list above within the Enderverse.
"As implied by title: Not Ender's Game"
I enjoyed this book, but I enjoyed it because I did not expect Ender's Game proper.
There was a lot about Ender's Game I enjoyed, but I can sub-categorize all my favorite parts into two important distinctions. Military strategy and group leadership versus interpersonal development and politics.
If you really only enjoyed the military portions of Ender's Game, then you may consider leaving Speaker of the Dead out. Scott Card wrote Ender's Game so he could write Speaker for the Dead. The way he writes the characters in Speaker for the Dead I have found to be a reliable measure for his other books in the Enderverse.
Reading about waging a war is awesome because of the absolution both sides of a war feel, a solidarity under one banner, so to speak. At the end of war, we have fractured absolution and limited solidarity -- complex topics to say the least.
Speaker for the dead is about this post-war universe. The threads of religion and science woven throughout the personalities is beautifully done in a way that should be neutral enough to spawn debate, but with the author's beliefs only somewhat veiled. Reading a book like this often makes me feel we are more predictable in groups than we are when left to our private choices.
This book gives weight to the phrase "where there is a will, there is a way." Of course -- not all wills are good ones ...
"Good story, okay narration"
First, this isn't Ender's Game. It's an entirely different kind of story, so if you're looking for the pseudo-military sci-fi action of Ender's Game, you will be disappointed. That said, this is one of Card's better works, with rich, interesting characters and a fascinating (if slower-moving) plot.
The multi-person reading is not very well done, however. At best, it's distracting; at worst, obnoxious--one of the female readers, in particular, has a habit of reading every sentence as though it's the saddest and most important thing ever written. The book's main narrator is (fortunately) quite good.
Overall, recommended.
"Great story, poor narration"
Use consistent narration. Using several different people that change the emotional delivery and even the gender of the voice is distracting and annoying. Plus, the woman sounds like she should be reading smut, not sci-fi.
These weren't the only narrators. I would have stuck with them.
"Listen to the Speaker"
Speaker for the Dead is a terrific sequel to Ender's Game. Where Ender's Game was exciting and suspenseful science fiction, Speaker for the Dead is like Ender himself, all grown up. Where Ender was a brilliant child reacting to the pressures and problems of the IF, Andrew Wiggin, the Speaker for the Dead, brings wisdom and maturity to the character we all came to love in Ender's Game.
Terrificly narrated by Stefan Rudnicki and the rest of the awesome Fantistic Audio players, I highly recommend this book. The Afterword by the author is also helpful in putting the first two books of series in perspective.
Orson Scott Card has created a terrific universe with his Ender Wiggin series. I am proud to say that I discovered it here on audible.com and look forward to listening to some of the later books in the series soon.
"The Anti-Ender's Game"
I picked this book because I had very much enjoyed Ender's Game and "Speaker" is the continuation of the story. However, it is also completely different in speed and style. While "Ender's Game" is mostly science fiction of the technical kind (spaceships, battles, etc.) and moves along well most of the time, "Speaker" is a tedious, slow-as-molasses study of religion, family relationships, childhood neuroses, and endlessly repeated sermons on tolerance. The passages in Portuguese, on the Catholic teachings, and others are tedious and boring.
You may end up liking "Speaker", but it won't be for the same reasons you may like "Ender's Game". Be forewarned.
I'm a corporate training consultant and adjunct professor who loves to read! I'm always looking for the next big thing.
"Great story, but the performance was dreadful"
After having read "Ender's Game," I was eager to read "Speaker for the Dead." I was definitely not disappointed. According to interviews with the author, Orson Scott Card, "Speaker for the Dead" was the original book that he wanted to write. He wrote "Ender's Game" as a kind of introduction to "Speaker for the Dead." Although "Ender's Game" has become far more well-known and more popular than "Speaker for the Dead," I can see why this was the story that the author really wanted to write. The story is much richer and deeper. I feel as if it's written for a more mature audience, and its themes reflect that maturity. Don't get me wrong. I loved "Ender's Game," yet I think I enjoyed "Speaker for the Dead" just as much--only for different reasons.
Let me get the bad news out of the way. The audio recording of this book was terrible. I don't want to say that the actual performance of the narrators was bad because it really wasn't. The problem was that there were just too many narrators, and they were used inconsistently throughout the book. At times, there were shifts from one narrator to another mid-paragraph, and it didn't seem to be done for any reason. I certainly don't want to say that this lessened the story in any way. After all, it's the same story whether listening to one narrator or 50. Even so, the shifting back and forth was distracting. As if that weren't bad enough, there was also periodic background music that was played during the performance. Again, this seemed to show up in random locations. There was one location in particular in which music just started playing mid-sentence and the ended in the middle of the following sentence. Usually, I expect some of that background music to signal a change in chapter, theme, or something else recognizable. That was surely not the case here. Again, it didn't lessen the story, but it was distracting. It wouldn't be such a bad thing for the story to be re-recorded without the performance issues.
Now, on to the good news. This book takes place 3000 years after "Ender's Game"; however, thanks to space travel at relativistic speeds, both Ender and Valentine are still alive--and in their 30s! In many ways, this book picks up not long after "Ender's Game" concludes. Ender has now become the Speaker for the Dead. After the events that occurred earlier in his life (in "Ender's Game"), he decides to dedicate himself to speaking the death of other people. Perhaps he sees this as atonement for his earlier life. In this book, humans have discovered a new, alien life form, the Pequeninos (also known as "piggies"), on the planet Lusitania. A death occurs on this planet, and Ender is called to speak the death.
This book is far more philosophical than "Ender's Game." The Speaker for the Dead does not deliver a traditional eulogy for those who have died. Instead, he speaks the truth. This concept resonated strongly with me because I think a lot of people don't get to have the truth spoken at their funerals. While this idea of speaking for the dead is a central theme of the book, there are many others. For example, the interactions between the humans and the piggies is extraordinary. It frames the way in which we, as humans, look at anything or anyone who is different from us, as something that needs to be either protected or changed. We seem to think that we are the most evolved species and, subsequently, the most intelligent. Although the book doesn't necessarily contradict this belief, it does make the reader question it. Finally, I want to also mention that the Catholic Church is alive and well in the far-off future. There were very interesting discussions of religious themes throughout the book. The Catholic Church has a prominent role on Lusitania, and it must somehow align its teachings with the new reality of an alien life form.
Overall, this was an enjoyable read. It still exists in the same general universe as "Ender's Game," yet it is its own story. The more mature philosophical themes make this a great book for older readers, but it's still science fiction. This seems to be a great combination, and I look forward to reading other books in the Ender series.
"Great book, really don't like the female reading"
Just like Ender's game this is a great book. Harder to get through though. Card spends more time on character development than really needed. The woman who does a good bit of the reading is a bit too melodramatic for my ears.
"Poor follow-up to Ender's Game"
For those who read this BECAUSE they enjoyed "Ender's Game": Beware, "Speaker for the Dead" is nothing like it. I loved Ender's Game. It was a suspenseful, delightful, innovative journey with the hero as he brilliantly solved the challenges he faced. Author Card kept the surprises coming as he let you in on the inner workings of the mind of a genius child.
There is none of that in Speaker for the Dead, which is melodramatic without being suspenseful or insightful. Instead, minutia is presented where plot and storyline is what is needed. I never would have made it to the end of the story if I had not read Ender's Game first. On the basis of Ender's Game, I kept reading (listening) hoping that Card would at some point deliver the goods. It never happens.
"A brilliant book"
I listened to Enders Game and really loved it. Orson Scott Card is a fabulous writer. So when it came time to download a new book, I got Speaker for the Dead. And again I loved the book.
The author manages to create a completely new society and social structure of another species on a far away world. The interaction between the humans and this other species makes you question your own assumptions about people of other cultures. How much of our current world tension is a result of true incompatibility and how much is due to just misunderstanding the other culture?
So the book has that whole deep "hmmm" thing going on and it's just entertaining. It's got enough mystery to keep you guessing about how situations will turn out. A sentient computer "program" named Jane adds another element of interest.
As with Enders Game, this audiobook used multiple narrators. They all did an excellent job with the exception of a way overly dramatic female. I found I couldn't wait 'til we moved on to another narrator. Sorry lady. Turn down the acting knob a little. Even with Little Miss Drama, this book is well worth listening to.
"Probably my favourite book ever"
This audio book amazed me. It follows on from Enders Game but is a vast departure from that story in both style and content. Listening to this book is like meditation - it's so deep and moving, and yet never boring. Pure Bliss! Wonderful narration. The first ever audio book to make me cry.
So good that I wish I had never heard it, so that I could discover it for the first time again.
One of Audible's gems.
"A different follow on from Ender's Game"
Some may not like it... but I do.
The book becomes a philosophical debate about the inward struggles that we face when confronting things we cannot understand.
Would I listen to it again? Probably not...
Will I listen to the next book in the series? Already have.
"my favourite book"
This story takes ender and follows him into his adult life , it shows how the battle school and descisions he made while there affected his adult life , showing for me that osc has a real understanding and empathy for his character and not just writing another story because the first book did well.
This really comes across with the relationship ender has with his sister with jane and the familly he befriends, also with the comunity he affects just by being there.
As this is the second book in the series you may feel that you need to read the first and you should because it is an excellent book but the refferences in this book explain themselves so you can read it as a book and not feel left out.
Now I have to finish the whole Enderverse. It's getting better and better with every book.
"Great book"
I loved this book, it kept me guessing from start to finish! I highly recommend it
"Interesting read"
Found a bit slow to start with, but got into stride after a while. Loved the piggies narration, well written.
"Speaker for the Dead"
A what to say.
This was a great way to pass a couple of days having read the book, what seems to be a lifetime ago, I thought I'd refresh and it surpassed my memories.
I'll look forward to the rest. 5 stars in all categories.
"Desperately disappointing"
Having just finished listening to Ender's game, I was full of impatience to hear the sequel. Ender's game is a brilliant story ... this follow up is about as disappointing as is possible to imagine. There is virtually no story (the first six hours could be told in 16 minutes) and we are subjected to just endless over-detailed consideration of the implausible and somewhat puerile emotional and spiritual state of the unnecessarily numerous characters. The reasons why there are repeated interjections in Portuguese or input from a Catholic bishop in a story set in the distant and technologically unrecognisable future are, to put it mildly, obscure. Indeed, the plot in no way stands up to the technological context,
Finally, like Ender's Game, this is read by a heterogeneous group of readers. They switch and change repeatedly, often for no good reason that I could see. Certainly, they do not take one voice for one character. Possibly, when one reader got bored, another took over. One of the women reads like immature amateur trying desperately to impress her teacher by attempting to inject dripping (inappropriate) emotion and deep meaning (that's not actually there) into the most banal and inconsequential phrases.
I recommend Ender's Game to anyone. I recommend Speaker for the Dead to no-one.
"Confusing narrative"
A shorter introduction. With any other book I would have given up within the first hour. I found it hard to work out what was happening and who was who a lot of the time
Ender's game is probably just about my favourite book so I was eagerly looking forward to the next instalment of the trilogy. However, I was hugely disappointed. Others have commented about too much religion and I agree.
I found it very confusing having multiple speakers reading the same part. The voice of the narrator helps you build a picture of the character that adds to the book. So, to have a different voice pop up every few minutes reading the same character was off-putting in the extreme.
Most of the parts with Ender were still pretty good.
Unlikely to read the 3rd part of the trilogy which is a shame given how good Ender's game was.
"Great read/listen"
The story is doing a great job on explaining the aftermath of Enders Game. Often I find myself sad to having a story end, and that I did with Enders Game, until I figured that a large series of books was doing a great job covering different perspectives of what happened after Enders Game, as well as along side of it.
There will be a day where I crave to listen to these stories all over again.
The revelations of the piggies. When you finally get an insight to how they live, and how being different and trying to help can seem as an act of aggression.
The voice action was great. The voices to begin with are great for reading, I did not find any annoying or overacted voices. Instead they had a good sense of making me know who was talking, without exaggerating.
The books does strike emotion, both laughter, sadness and compassion.
This book is great, though I advise anyone wanting to read it, to start from Enders Game.

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate Reporter
Waves of immigrants flooded into Carbon County a century ago to work the mines, but for most of the years since 1950, the county has been a net exporter of people.
If scenarios by the Utah Geologic Survey and analysis by the University of Utah's Bureau of Economic Research prove correct, there could be downward pressure on population again if coal production declines.
The head count has had its ups and downs over the past 60 years, but overall more people have left the county than have come in. From the historic high of 24,800 in 1950, the population fell to 15,750 by 1970 when coal markets sagged. It rebounded to 24,300 by 1982 during the heyday of power plant construction, only to fall back to 19,848 by 2008. Those figures come from the Utah Population Estimates Committee, and they understate the outflow.
Consider that births have always exceeded deaths, leading to a "natural increase" in population. But out-migration has more than offset the effect that natural increase. In 1984, for example, the population was 23,100 - down 1,000 from the year before. But during that same year there were 342 more births than deaths in the county, so the exodus out of the county was really 1,342.
That statistical point was made in the Bureau of Economic and Business Research report, The Structure and Economic Impact of Utah's Coal Industry. As reported earlier, that study considers what the impacts on the local and state economy would be if coal production drops anywhere from 50 to 95 percent over the next decade.
What has been good for coal has been good for the Carbon economy. According to the BEBR analysis, every job in the mines represents about 2.5 jobs here. In 2007, there were 770 miners directly employed. Mine support industries - manufacturing, sales and service - add hundreds more jobs indirectly employed by mining. Finally, those directly and indirectly involved in the mining industry spend their money here, supporting even more jobs in local business.
BEBR calculates that the impact of the mines was 1,957 jobs in 2007. Those jobs supported a population of 2,936. That's about one-seventh of the county's population. Earnings for that year were $62.6 million.
Most of that starts to go away in 10 years in the worst case scenario. Carbon County production begins to decline over time to just 500,000 tons per year from its current level of more than 10 million tons. If that is the case, then that total job impact of mining drops from 1,957 to only 701 by 2030.
At that point, there are fewer than 200 miners going underground. They'll still require supplies and services, so there will still be some jobs in those industries. And they'll still spend money, so they'll still contribute to the local economy. But the bad news is that total employment across the board would go down by more than 1,200 jobs. That includes 151 jobs in wholesale and retail trade, 149 jobs in services (ranging from arts and entertainment to health care) and 227 in state and local government.
Where mining generated enough income to support 2,936 people in 2007, that will drop to 2,344 by 2030, according to the analysis.
Under the Utah Geologic Survey's high scenario of 5.5 million tons by 2030, impacts are not nearly so drastic. The high forecast assumes that some technological fix will allow coal to continue to fuel electric power plants and that foreign markets expand. After peaking at 2,081 total employment in 2014, the decline is slow and gradual to 1,378 over the next 16 years.
The population supported by the industries could even be higher, according to the model. The assumption is that wages will go up in real terms as efficiency improves.
Aside from BEBR's analysis, history shows the county has endured boom-and-bust cycles before.
In the 1950s and '60s, coal was being replaced by substitute fuels. Railroads and ocean freighters scrapped their coal-stoked boilers for diesel power. Natural gas and heating oil replaced coal for heating urban homes and industries. Carbon County's population dropped.
The state and national economies were growing, however. Electric demand was surging. Coal was headed for a comeback. That resurgence was helped along by the Energy Crisis of the early 1970s. Congress passed the Energy Supply and Environmental Coordination Act, which prohibited oil or natural gas to be used in power plants that could use coal instead. Coal was once again booming. Utah coal, being high in energy and low in sulfur, was competitive in national and international markets. Carbon County's population grew.
So what caused the big population dip after 1983? That was when Utah Power finished construction of the Hunter 3 unit and all the construction workers living in the area began to pull out.

Thats the spirit ! De-Windoze the world!
What made you choose gnome over KDE? (curious, no flames ! haha )
Dependency issues are vast in the world of linux... Alot of the time you have to install new/older versions of programs you already have installed so others will work. I'd say read the README for GTK and make sure the proper version of glib is installed. Also check all other dependencies it requires and double check those. Its common place to have to install new things you've never heard of before installing programs you've never heard of to install the program you want to! lol
Each program seems to have its own method of checking the version (as i learned when compiling a kernel for the first time), I don't recall offhand what it is for glib. A lot of the time you can just exec the program with no switches (options like -x) and it will give a usage statement. The version is usually there.
A piece of advice... if the program/library/whatever is a newer version then the one required, don't assume it will work hehe.
Sorry for my inability to help efficiently/make sense of what I'm trying to say, I'm new to troubleshooting, this is the first board I've ever attempted it on!

AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - Education programs that put students first was the focus of the Govenor's Conference on Education Friday in Augusta.
Hundreds of educators from across the country got a chance to hear more about education reform programs developed by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and promoted nationwide by the Foundation for Excellence in Education.
Some of the programs include letter-grade rating systems for public schools, voucher programs and full-time virtual schools. The Governor says the conference is brainstorming session for educators learn new ways help students succeed.
But the president of the Maine Education System says charter schools in Maine are draining precious funds from school districts.
'The money is taken from the public schools goes into the pocket of a corporatoin or a business or some other private entity, so in Maine what we hope is to keep all the money in the public schools, said Lois Kilby-Chesley, the president of the Maine Education Association.
'Money follows kids to schools where their parents believe that is the best fit, when we do that we get a better education system,' said Jeanne Allen, a presenter and the president of the Center for Education Reform.
Educators also heard from Tony Bennter, the Commissioner of Education in Florida, a member of the Foundation for Execellence in Education, a foundation founded by former Florida Govenor, Jeb Bush.

I had a friend in a Duel on a server that said Skill matched when i clicked to preview. But when i tried to join, i got an error message saying user skill tier is not permitted by the server.
Or is this not a bug, but just some extra conditions i'm not aware of? If that's the case, it should somehow be noted in the preview that i'm not allowed to join for whatever reason. The error message was kind of ambiguous as well because i'm not sure if my skill is too low or too high.

text: On Tuesday most elementary school classes were trading valentines, decorating cookies and playing games. However, Mrs Madrid and Holzer's 5th grade class at Castle Heights took the time to work on a service project instead. The class spent the afternoon working on quilts to donate to the Children's Justice Center and Women's Shelter in the area. Class parents and Wal-Mart donated the materials for the quilts. It wasn't all work, though. After the quilts were finished the students took a few minutes to exchange cards and enjoy a treat.

MASSENA The group that is working to prevent Massena Memorial Hospital from going private is encouraging community members to join its efforts.
Jason Garcia, a member of the MMH Community Coalition who said he was born at Massena Memorial, said organizers want to involve the community in the fight to keep the town-owned hospital from becoming a private facility.
A meeting will be held at 5 p.m. Aug. 5 at Dars Place, and anyone interested in keeping the hospital community-owned is urged to attend, organizers said last week.
The group was established this year over concerns about hospital officials considering privatization.
We have meetings frequently. Were trying to get out there and advertise more to get more people, especially community members, involved, Mr. Garcia said. Obviously this is not just a hospital-employee issue. This is an issue that impacts everybody.
The informal Aug. 5 meeting will include an open discussion about the current situation, as well as alternatives to privatization.
The coalition is not anti-hospital, Mr. Garcia said. Its more of pro-public hospital.
The Massena Memorial Hospital board of managers voted last week to hire the law firm of Hancock Estabrook LLP, Syracuse, for up to $100,000 to explore transitioning from a municipal hospital to a private, nonprofit entity.
The study will consist of three phases. Phase one, which is expected to take two to three months, will include the study of all contracts, such as vendors and employees, to see if anything would prohibit the transition to a private facility.
Phase two would the implementation phase in which the paperwork such as a Certificate of Need would be filed to begin the conversion process. That could take one or two months.
Phase three would involve going to the Internal Revenue Service to acquire tax-exempt status. That could take four to six months.
Driving the study are concerns about projected losses of millions of dollars over the next 10 years.
Hospital CEO Charles F. Fahd II has said the hospital anticipates a projected $15 million loss in reimbursements over the next 10 years and a directive by the state commissioner of health to explore options such as collaborating, affiliating, merging or sharing with other facilities, leaving the hospital with little choice but to investigate the move.
At last weeks board of managers meeting, Town Supervisor Joseph D. Gray said: We have to do something, there is no doubt. MMH is headed into unknown, rough financial waters, and we need to be prepared for whatever comes our way.
Members of the MMH Community Coalition, who have had a presence at recent board of managers and Town Council meetings, fear that by privatizing Massena Memorial, residents would be giving up control over the hospital; accountability for patient health; health care services that are not seen as profitable; retirement security for workers; good-paying, middle class jobs; and wages that are spent in the local community.
They said the hospital belongs to all taxpayers in the town, who should have control over its destiny, control of the quality of care provided and control of what services are or are not provided.
They have asked residents to write letters to members of the Massena Town Council and also sign a petition at www.change.org/petitions/keep-mmh-public. They also have a Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ourmmh.
I think theyre doing good. The petition signing has toned down a little bit because its on the back burner. Were doing a lot of other things trying to get people involved, Mr. Garcia said.

This summer Pottstown area residents will be charmed by the acclaimed musical, Ragtime, thanks to the continuing partnership between the Tri-County Performing Arts Center and Limerick Generating Station.
Pottstown, PA - This summer Pottstown area residents will be charmed by the acclaimed musical, Ragtime, thanks to the continuing partnership between the Tri-County Performing Arts Center and Limerick Generating Station.

A simple but stylish logo for a flour mill. The use of a monochrome colour palette makes it incredibly versatile and able to be used in a multitude of different situations. Often the simple approach is the most effective, and I think that's certainly the case here.Posted in Branding → Logo
A fascinating logo idea for a hydroponics equipment supplier. I love the use of image transformation as an integral part of the logo. This is a great example of a simple idea, well executed.Posted in Branding → Logo
A simple concept, well executed. It can be difficult to make a single letter logo work at all, but here the use of a delightfully grungy texture and some loose idea of perspective help to make this one stand out. I particularly like the colours that comprise the weathered textured.Posted in Branding → Logo
A simple yet effective logo for a consulting agency. I like the incorporation of the flame into the name of the agency and the straightforward use of colour fade. The choice of lower case for 'ignite' and upper case for 'INSTITUTE' is an interesting one, but I think it works!Posted in Branding → Logo
A brilliant typographic logo for a french band. White on black is almost always a strong colour choice and is executed well here. It successfully combines the slightest hints of cheerful and optimistic disco with the 'Frenchness' of the band's name.Posted in Branding → Logo
An excellent logo that makes an immediate impact. It's easy to replicate as it's in monochrome and on a white background, making it ideal for cross media purposes. I love the subtle details such as the use of arrows instead of plain black space.Posted in Branding → Logo
A simple but striking logo that has an appealingly hand-drawn quality to it. The use of white on black is almost always strong, and this is a good example. The intricate design makes for an effective and memorable logo.Posted in Branding → Logo
A brilliantly sparky logo for an electrical company. I love the use of pinks and purples for the spark design, it looks great in contrast with the straightforward white text on grey. A stunning logo that's memorable and sure to make an impact!Posted in Branding → Logo
The bright pixelated colours used here immediately grab your attention and make this logo a memorable one. I'd have liked to see a more random displacement of pixels but overall the design works. The typeface is really good and the straight edges perfectly suit the pixel idea.Posted in Branding → Logo
This site is made by its vibrant and colourful gallery. It immediately draws you in and almost urges you to browse! I actually quite like the simple animations of the logo, although I imagine it would get annoying after a while.Posted in Web Design → Portfolio
A simple but easily recognisable logo that makes effective use of the single colour approach by using yellow on black. I particularly like the incorporation of statistical bars into the design of the 'G'.Posted in Branding → Logo
A awesome personal logo that effectively uses blue and red in combination! I like the symmetry of the badge design juxtaposed with the offset letters. The concept of your personal logo being like a badge is perfectly executed here!Posted in Branding → Logo
I really like the colour palette used here, particularly the use of colour in the header section of the site. The vibrant wave-like logo is striking and makes a strong statement. I also like the use of graphic illustrations throughout the site, they add some great colour and interest.Posted in Web Design → Design
A fascinating logo design for a fascinating project. I love the subtle colour palette and use of typeface to make an impact! I also particularly like the attempt at symmetry and nice graphical details!Posted in Branding → Logo
A simple but effective logo design that makes the two colour idea work hard! I love the combination of lime green and dark grey while the choice of lowercase for the text helps to make it recognisable. The use of gradient on the logo itself is really effective at making it shine and stand out!Posted in Branding → Logo
An excellent logo for a producer and DJ that makes good use of a solid black background. It could have worked well to use more outstanding colours, the palette is a little restrained. I do, however, like the typeface chosen and the white of the text really stands out on the black background (as always).Posted in Branding → Logo
An interesting winged logo design that makes brilliant use of texture! I love the contrast of natural ideas (like wings) with more mechanical ones (like cogs). The colour palette is subtle but works excellently, particularly over this kind of textured background.Posted in Branding → Logo
A gorgeous logo for any music based design company. I love the concept of the vinyl record breaking into streams of paint-like colour! In addition it\'s worth noting how good the flow of the logo is, it works beautifully read from left to right!Posted in Branding → Logo
A great logo that goes with the tried and tested red on black formula. I love the disintegration of the bevel idea! I also particularly like the clean and straightforward typeface!Posted in Branding → Logo
As probably the foremost Twitter client (if you ignore Twitter\'s own client) TweetDeck has a lot of weight on its shoulders. It certainly lives up to the hype with its gorgeous interface designed specifically for the iPad. I love the logo and stylish grey colour scheme!Posted in Interface → iPad App

Sometimes I take my hearing aid and implant off and just relax into silence. Wearing them is tiring. Listening is exhausting. From the time I turn out the light till daybreak, I am essentially blind and deaf. My husband acts as my eyes and ears when he's around. My dog fills in when he's not. He barks when someone knocks on the door or, at our house in the country, when someone comes up the driveway. But like many people with hearing loss, I feel vulnerable at night. I think I would hear the smoke alarm right over the bed. I think the dog would bark or jump on me if someone tried to break in. I hope. There are devices designed for the hearing impaired—alarm systems that work with vibration or strobe lights—but for the moment I'm taking the low-tech dog route.
What do we hear when there's nothing at all to hear? George Prochnik, the author of In Pursuit of Silence, went in search of the quietest place in the world and eventually found himself in the basement sanctuary of the Trappist New Melleray Abbey, in Iowa. The monk who showed him the way warned him, Prochnik writes, "that the silence of the room was so intense that it was likely to 'take me outside of my comfort zone.'" Some people from big cities, the monk added, find themselves "physically unable to remain in the chapel for even five minutes."
As it turned out, it wasn't as quiet as it might have been. There was another monk in the room, "a large man sitting with his legs wide apart and his hands on his thighs, breathing quite loudly." But that doesn't seem to have disturbed Prochnik's sense of the deep silence. The monks, he observed, listen to silence for self-knowledge. Far from being out of his comfort zone, he was disappointed when it was time to leave.
Prochnik doesn't describe what silence sounds like, but I can. It's noisy. The brain creates noise to fill the silence, and we hear this as tinnitus. Perhaps only someone with profound deafness can achieve this level of silence, so paradoxically loud. As Brad May, a professor of otolaryngology and head and neck surgery at Johns Hopkins University, explained to me, once the auditory machinery that would ordinarily be transmitting sound to the brain stops working, the synaptic balance in those neurons goes haywire, because nothing is regulating it, "nothing is pulling it down into its proper level of activity." And so the brain starts generating its own activity in that pathway, and the result can be ringing, or buzzing, or humming—all of which fall under the catchall term "tinnitus." Sylvia, in Nina Raine's Tribes, says of going deaf, "No one told me it was going to be this noisy … It's this buzz. This roar and outside … it's all—black."
I have it easy, and in fact kind of like my tinnitus: it changes pitch from time to time, an ethereal deep outer space keening.

The Mathematics/Computer Science BA Program | Academic Requirements | Student Learning Outcomes | Minor in Mathematics/Computer Science | Courses | Faculty | Internships | Mathematics/Computer Science Links
The mathematics/computer science program offers a BA program that combines mathematics with computer science, as well as an undergraduate minor. It is designed to introduce students to the principal areas of mathematics and computer science, with an emphasis on applications. Requirements for the major include some choices (for example, discrete mathematics for students aiming toward careers in computing vs. differential equations for students aiming toward careers in mathematics). However, all students acquire a strong foundation in the traditional areas of both disciplines. This serves to distinguish Purchase graduates from others with narrower backgrounds. Classes typically are small, and computer classes include closed labs (scheduled time to work in a computer lab with faculty present to provide guidance).
The Senior Project
The capstone experience is the senior project, a yearlong required research project undertaken by each senior in conjunction with a faculty mentor. Many of these projects are prepared for formal presention at the annual Natural & Social Sciences Student Symposium. Topics from recent years include:
In addition, students can gain important experiences as teaching assistants for courses, research assistants on projects, technical assistants in the campus technology services department, and by completing off-campus internships. Student work has appeared in the Annals of Discrete Math, Graph Theory Notes of NY, and Journal of Computing at Small Colleges.
A Dynamic, Innovative Curriculum
The program undergoes continual review and change. Recent course additions include:
The program provides a wide variety of courses that satisfy the core curriculum and SUNY general education requirement in mathematics, as well as required and elective courses for students majoring in natural science disciplines and in new media.
About Our Alumni
Recent graduates have earned or are pursuing advanced degrees at such institutions as Columbia University, Binghamton University, the City University of New York Graduate Center, New York University, Pace University, the University of Chicago, the University of New Hampshire, and the University of Pennsylvania. Alumni are also engaged in careers in a variety of fields, including education, software development, and finance. (For a list of representative alumni, please see our page on the Admissions site.)

I need more excuses to use the new emoticons.
They're really cool, but I'm having trouble finding situations in which to use them. I'd suggest an increase in the overall number of traps, mysteries, and dead Bothans on the forums. I've also had much difficulty in fitting the fonz dog into my posts.
Also: the lack of news is irksome, lots of people talk about it, but not much is done. Rayhawk, if you're reading, I don't care what you do, make something up if you have to.
I'll even put in some news:
September 13th, 2009- Lieutenant Obvious demands excuses, not answers!
Resident Brikwars player, LtObvious, is (awesome, but that's not the point) desperate to use the new BrikWars forum emoticons. He has been trying his hardest to fit them into his posts, but an excuse to use one is a rare commodity. When asked about the current situation, he had this to say: "I believe it's horrible that there are so few opportunities to use smileys, but I've got to go save kittens from trees and rescue orphans from burning buildings."
This has been channel 1337 news, tune back in tomorrow for more no bullshit journalism. Stay classy, San Diego.
Capshun: LtObvious, after saving several orphans from a burning building, fending off a zombie hoard, fist fighting a polar bear, and preforming brain surgery on a kitten.

Title: French and Spanish instructor, Department of Language and Communications
Education: B.A. in Translation in French–German–Spanish, Institut Supérieur de Traducteurs et Interprètes, Brussels, Belgium; Master of Arts in French, bilingual option with half of coursework in Spanish, University of Louisiana-Lafayette; ABD for Ph.D. in Francophone Studies, University of Louisiana-Lafayette. As part of my Ph.D., I am writing about the Belgian sense of humor in the work of the late Belgian author Jean Muno, who lived near my hometown.
Years at NSU: From January 2008 until August 2010, I worked as adjunct faculty. Since January 2011, I have been working as an instructor.
Job description: I teach introduction and elementary French classes and introduction Spanish classes, both face-to-face and online.
Why I like working at NSU: I work with friends and I love sharing my culture and language, and that of other places I cherish. I feel challenged and enjoy participating in various activities such as Fall/Spring Read, translations, service learning projects, and the like. I love the opportunities that teaching both face-to-face and online have created for me. Teaching both types of classes engages me in enhancing my lesson plans and keeping up with new technologies. I love to help students realize the connections between languages and how much they already know, and see them gain a better understanding and mastery of their own language by studying a foreign language. I love the flexibility of college level teaching that allows me to take students into the community, and in the Natchitoches Parish school system more specifically.

Negative, Captain
Seen in the wild:
... WHERE substr(amount,0, 1) != '-'
If you wanted to query a table of monetary transactions for any refunds (i.e. where the transaction amount is negative), how would you do it? Perhaps you'd think about avoiding problems that might occur if the default number format were to change, hm?
(before you say it: no, there is no index on amount, so it wasn't a misguided attempt to avoid an index access path…)
Gary permalink
Sad to say, but my instinct is to ask whether they are storing the amount as a character column.
I do keep trying to tell developers that, in the real world, we start counting from 1, not 0. Sometimes it helps to actually show them on their fingers.

If your lawn is brown, don't assume it is merely drought damage or continued drought given the dry weather pattern in NH. Many lawns are being eaten right now by white grubs of all kinds. White grubs are in bountiful numbers given the past dry, hot weather in NH & VT. Unfortunately, many homeowners and commercial locations are not aware of this damage which will continue well into early November. Many landscapers do not have the education or proper state certification and licensing to diagnose and treat complex lawn problems. Left unchecked, grub damage can destroy sections if not entire lawn areas within weeks to months if left untreated. The news gets worse! These grubs will hide and wait until next spring, then the feeding will start again! Many brown turf areas can be infested with grubs because many will assume the area was caused by drought and high heat. While this may be true for some, other lawns will continue the downward spiral without appropriate action this fall or at best next spring.
Look for animals digging like crows, ravens, or skunks at night. The turf will be easily uprooted since the root system is being attacked and cannot grow fast enough to anchor the grass to the surface. Focus on sunny areas, along driveways or walkways. Hot, or sunny areas are prime locations for beetles to lay their eggs for the next generation. Your grass may be brown mixed in with green but when exposed, the trained eye can find grubs of varying sizes and types. There are many products which can be used to control grubs including chemicals and nematodes. Each claims success under various conditions and instructions to the home owner. Don't assume that picking up a bag at Lowes or the Home Depot will insure results. Unfortunately, there are many products aimed at specific periods in the life cycle of grubs so a bag of "Grub X or Milky Spore" applied in the fall does not mean it will work. You must read the label or call a professional to determine if your $30 investment will actually work or just make you feel good. If in doubt ask- don't simply apply materials to your lawn without understanding the ramifications, that would not be environmentally responsible. While grass is important, what you do to the environment is more important. This is why professionals like myself must train, take written plus verbal exams by state agencies, and work in the field to gain "real world" experience.
Don't let brown areas go unchecked, go call or e-mail a reputable lawn care company like mine. Speak with a local professional with appropriate licensing and experience to give you the real answer. Your lawn need not be damaged with proper information to back up appropriate action!

On The Schneid: Week 5 – "Everyone In the Pool"
Daniel Marcus
So here it is the uber-redundant second installment of "On The Schneid" where we decide, which Jets players need to get their "you know what" together for this week's game. After three weeks of mostly ugly football, while losing their best offensive and defensive players, it took a lot of thought and deliberation as to who would make this week's list and our decision may or may not surprise you:
Nick Mangold said it best…
Yep, it should come as no surprise given last week's performance that this entire team from the top down has to get off the Schneid and they could not have picked a worse opponent to do it against. Arguably the best team in football, the Houston Texans is coming back to Metlife for a Monday night tilt in front of a national television audience, undoubtedly looking to avenge their heart-breaking last minute loss in 2010.
Honestly 2-2 is far from the worst place this team could be but things look bleak if Monday night proves to be another debacle on a similar scale to the two that preceded it. Offensively, something has to give. The cupboard is barren as far as talent at the skill positions go and one can only hope that Tight End and Mark Sanchez's favorite target, Dustin Keller is ready to go.
The Holmes-less receiving corps is going to have to step up in a big way against this aggressive Texans defense but I think the priority will probably be pass-protection and preventing the likes of J.J. Watt and crew from putting Sanchez in the turf. It all starts up front and that also means getting some sort of push and opening up holes for the running game and trusting the backs to be able to find and hit those holes when they do come open. If all of this goes right, then it's Sanchez's game to lose, no excuses.
All of this means nothing if Tony Sparano doesn't get his act together because it appears that he doesn't have a handle on how to properly use either of his quarterbacks. Sanchez is at his best when he is on the move, on designed roll-outs and bootlegs on the other hand Tebow is best with either a clipboard in his hand or lined up as fullback, the guy is a tank let him hit someone and open up some running lanes.
Now let's flip to the most disappointing side of the ball, the defense that apparently doesn't know how to tackle, seal the edge, or put pressure on the quarterback. I'm looking directly at the outside linebackers on this one, they need to be able to get to and seal the edges, especially against a zone blocking team like the Texans and if/when they are able to do that need to be able to wrap up and actually, you know, tackle.
The defensive line is far from exempt from criticism as the immense size and depth along that front has not translated into much as far as pass-rushing. Again, I'm going to point to the choices with personnel groupings, there needs to be a balance between bulk and athleticism, a line of Coples, Wilkerson, and Pouha wouldn't be too shabby if you ask me. The Texans don't really have any big receiving threats you need to worry about aside from Andre Johnson and Owen Daniels so the pressure comes down on the self-proclaimed, second-best corner in the league and second-best (now best) receiver on the team, Antonio Cromartie.
This week and every week moving forward it's going to take all hands on deck to turn this thing around and it starts Monday night, for better or for worse.
If you guys want to point anyone out I missed who needs to get off the Schneid, or give your predictions for who is going to get off the Schneid this week feel free to do so in the comments.
I'm not a Freeman fan, but he is better than Painter. Maybe Nassib is showing some signs of life
So much for all that Josh Freeman might push Eli talk.
Not a fan of this! Why not Painter? He's horrible!
@mcfly All words out of Jints camp (That I've read) is that he's been far from impressive. I'll bet the Giants keep him, give him one more year.
But otherwise he appears to be a bust.

Belly Off
Belly Off is a new weight loss breakthrough blend that combines conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) derived from Safflower with YGD (a blend of yerba mate, guarana, and damiana) in a combination that may help reduce the appearance of belly fat, control appetite and cravings for snacks, and support losing up to 12 times more bodyweight than diet alone.*
Belly Off helps you to lose weight and reduce body fat, especially around the waist. Conjugated linoleic acid has been found to significantly reduce body fat while increasing lean body mass. Through the gaining of lean muscle mass the body is able to burn more calories, therefore raising your body's metabolism and helping you to lose weight faster. Conjugated linoleic acid has also been found to decrease the presence of leptin within the body. Leptin is generally associated with hunger cravings. Combined with appetite suppression and energy complexes found in this YGD blend, Belly Off will support your journey to losing more bodyweight than diet alone... feeling lighter, healthier, and more confident.*

Porcelain Figurines Donated to Habitat for Humanity - Anyone know what they are?
I work at Habitat for Humanity in Naples, FL and we were given a donation of two figurines with a signature mark on the bottom. I looked all over the internet but could not find anything to help me identify them. An antique dealer who came in the store said they had real gold leaf on them. The faces are painted really well, they have very delicate expressions on them. They are about 6 inches tall. They just came in a box of anonymous donations and so I have no information on them at all. There are a lot of antique dealers in the area who shop in our store and some of them scoop up these little things and sell them at their own place. One guy bought a $2 dish and after he purchased it he told us it was worth $200. If anyone can help me identify these little things I would appreciate it. I guess I really need to know if they are valuable or not. I can always put them out for $10 and someone will buy them for their china cabinet.

Your figures appear to be made in Japan. The mark is a pseudo mark, and tries to be similar to French and German marks. The gold paint on the figures does have real gold content; however,it doesn't add any value to them. I believe $10/each is fair. You can always come down. A dealer would probably price them $25/pair, in hopes of selling them for $20. Keep in mind that dealer are expecting to get a deal, and will not frequent shops if they can't.

COLTON - Members of the New Horizons Band converted a section of the Raquette River, specifically Higley Flow in Colton, into a own concert hall of sorts on late Wednesday afternoon.
Trumpets, French horns, flutes and a host of other instruments could be heard along the water as a Floating Band Concert was performed on pontoon boats in the Big Bay near Cottage Road in the town. The special event was sponsored by the Higley Association.
Approximately 25 musicians divided into four boats tied together were involved in the concert.
Band member Jim Monroe, who plays the French horn and is an aficionado of ragtime and swing, was thrilled with the turnout and intrigued by the unique experience.
Hundreds of people saw it but we also had many boats. Some had eight or nine people on them, they were like party boats. I think well do it again, it was a fantastic event. Judy Fuhr did a fantastic job. We pulled this thing together in a week. Without her, I dont think we would have had the turnout we did, Mr. Monroe said.
Weve played on the green in Norwood and in a parade in Norwood. Weve played in Potsdam, Canton, and Ogdensburg, Colton, just lots of places. Ive only been part of the band for two years so thats just where I have played. We had not (played on the water.) We had four of the donated barges and different people donated them. Jerry Pethic, John Snell, Hank Ford, and Roger Duscharm were the donators of the party boats. We lashed the four party boats together.
Roland Wood, chairman of the groups Publicity Committee, and the Director/Conductor Ron Berry shared Mr. Monroes enthusiasm with the very different type of experience.
It was awesome. It was fantastic. It went well except one guy lost his music book in the water because of the wind and someone lost some sheets of music. But the kayakers came to the rescue, Mr. Wood said. I had never done anything like that. A lot of people were nervous to do it but once we got started everyone was having fun. Were really looking forward to doing it again.
It was a very encouraging turnout. We had big boats, little boats, kayaks and people just hanging out listening to the music. This was a unique experience. It was a first for us. Ive never tried it before with any other group. One thing was that it was a challenging position trying to get everyone seeing the conductor, Mr. Berry added.
The New Horizons Band is a group that plays many types of music, according to Mr. Monroe.
The band is for anybody that wants to play in a band. You can come in and start playing. Its sponsored by The Crane School of Music in Potsdam, which is a great program. Anyone can join if they come when we practice, which is Mondays from 8 to 10 a.m., he said.

HARRISVILLE An auction has been scheduled for later this month at the shuttered Harrisville Dry Kiln plant, but company officials still claim they would prefer to sell the business as a whole.
Wed love to, Andrew T. Porter, spokesman for Bestway Enterprises Inc., Cortland, which has operated the mill as HDK Wood Products Inc., said of the direct sale option. Wed prefer that. Thats the best for the area, and thats the best way to do that.
However, if no buyer comes forward soon, Tennessee-based auction company Associated Auction & Liquidation Co. is poised to auction off the 8023 Washington St. property and its contents on Oct. 26, beginning at 10 a.m.
Indications are that the auctioneer on that day would try to sell the entire business first, but, if no offers are deemed sufficient, would then proceed with the piecemeal sale of its equipment and other assets, according to county Economic Development Director Eric J. Virkler.
The auction page lists 5� pages worth of potential sale items, including various saws, tools, forklifts, trailers and even buildings.
The mill, which has employed roughly 30 people, closed at the end of July. Mr. Porter indicated that the move was made by his company purely for financial reasons.
County legislators recently approved the reallocation of $1,500 to advertise the mill site on an international timber associations web site.
Mr. Virkler said his office also has contacted roughly a dozen lumber mill companies from throughout the Northeastern U.S., along with a number of local business owners, to see if any would have interest in the site.
We tried to get information out to people, he said.
The county additionally received notice about six weeks ago through Empire State Development Corp. of a company looking for some type of saw mill facility, so information about the Harrisville site was provided to that state agency, Mr. Virkler said.
Thats still open, he said.
With 30 jobs already lost at the end of last year due to the closure of the Interface Sealing Solutions Inc. in Croghan, Mr. Virkler said he remains hopeful, although not fully optimistic, that someone will come forward to reopen the mill.
Paragon Laminated Wood Products, Lakeville, New Brunswick, started up the dry kiln plant in October 1998, and Bestway took over operations in August 1999. A sawmill was added in 2006.
The mill has traditionally steam-dried lumber in the kilns, run it through a planer and sold it to manufacturers for use in a variety of products, including door frames and utility poles.
Bestway has seven years left on a payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreement on the mill, according to officials with the Lewis County IDA, which technically owns the land on which the mill was built and administers the PILOT.
However, that arrangement likely would not preclude sale of the property, IDA officials said.
Bestway in August also shut down its wood pressure-treatment plant in the town of Fowler, leaving eight employees out of work.
However, company officials said the closures were not directly connected, as the plants relied on different raw materials.

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate reporter
Helper's mayor and city council have called a special work session Feb. 24 to look for solutions to two issues residents raised at last Thursday's regular meeting:
* The Avalon apartments, with 34 units, have only three designated parking spaces;
* The city's cemetery ordinance, five years old and two pages long, is causing additional heartaches for some who are already grieving for lost loved ones.
The cemetery issue was highlighted during an emotional presentation by Diane Lodeserto, whose son Preston died after an ATV accident last summer.
She chose the Helper cemetery for interment because "it is the most beautiful cemetery in Carbon County." The compliments ended there.
When the time came to choose a monument for her son's grave, she said she found one that would have been perfect. Only then, however, did she find out that the monument was unacceptably big in that section of the cemetery.
"Nothing was ever told to us about not being able to have the headstone we want," she declared. "Now we have to exhume my son's grave to put him in a spot where we can give him the monument he deserves."
Mayor Dean Armstrong acknowledged that the city's ordinance was probably "pretty short, pretty brief" compared to Price City's 16 pages.
"To me, the cemetery is one of our pre-eminent places," he continued. But while it must be accessible to people, it also must be manageable.
Councilman Gary Harwood agreed with the mayor's statement, and cited an example of the challenges the city faces with maintenance. "Say you have a $10,000 stone there. Who's going to pay if we have to move it?"
Lawn mowers, trimmers and sprinklers all have to have some room to operate, so the city ordinance does regulate certain markers to certain spaces.
While the solution could be something as simple as a color brochure outlining the arrangement and rules, the council agreed that finding the solutions to the issues and making the public aware would take more time.
Also requiring more time and research is the parking situation at the Avalon.
While street parking is available most of the time, when the snow falls and the plows come out, there's no parking allowed on Helper streets.
There is off-street parking room off 100 West, but the city stockpiles mounds of snow there. There could be alternative sites, mentioned Councilman Harwood.
There are also summer days such as the Arts Festival when that off-street parking is first-come, first-served and not reserved.
Whatever answer the city comes up with, it will have to fit in with the overall plan for downtown.
The special work session is set to begin at 6 p.m., with an hour reserved for each issue.

Nimble CRM 2.0 Adds to the Social Whirl
Nimble aims to bring greater insight to every contact. A contact is no longer a flat, static, business-card-like record of contact details that your sales person types in, the company says, but instead functions as a dynamic dashboard of social insight about the contact. Nimble has integrated with Foursquare for location engagement and shows shared connections from your social graph.
Oct 22, 2012 5:00 AM PT
The name of the product is "Nimble CRM," but the "CRM" part is almost a misnomer -- if you accept the traditional sales-marketing-service definition of CRM, that is.
A startup that launched early last year, Nimble CRM chooses to embrace a morphing view of CRM. This is a view of CRM driven by social media, by mobile computing -- and most of all, by savvy contact management and networking.
The focus on contacts is what drives the application's development, as can be seen in a recent upgrade to its functionality.
"What we do is surface opportunities for engagement, showing the user who, out of all the people who touch your social graph, you may want to connect with -- and why -- and if you do connect with him or her, what you should say," Nimble CEO Jon Ferrara told CRM Buyer.
Nimble 2.0 Debuts
Earlier this month, Nimble rolled out version 2.0 of its app, with more functionality built around its focus on contact management.
It added support for Facebook business pages and Google+. It also debuted a new unified social notification technology that consolidates Likes, comments, friend invites and other social interactions. These social media channels were available via the application before -- but users had to go to five separate tabs to use them.
Nimble 2.0 has an improved user interface for its contact record, with a similar unified theme. All related messages, activities, deals and so on from the live social stream are displayed. Integration with HubSpot supports closed-loop marketing.
The addition of Foursquare integration is important because Nimble prides itself on its strong social discovery functionality, Ferrara said.
A Rapportive widget allows users to integrate outside email, such as Gmail, into Nimble. The user hovers the mouse over an email address in a thread and the contact details appear in the widget. If the contact isn't already in the Nimble CRM system, it can easily be added.
Finally, the company added customer search across all areas of Nimble.
"That allows users to slice and dice records based on what is being said," noted Ferrara.
Next Step, Integration
Nimble's next iteration will include an API that can be used to extend the platform.
"We hope to see more integration with leading sales, accounting, marketing and other related tools," said Ferrara.
Nimble is also working to widen its mobile footprint, he added. There is an app for the iPad, and Nimble hopes to roll out mobile apps for the iPhone and Android soon.
"We have added a lot key things that enable the user to discover, engage and collaborate with contacts and sources behind the scenes," said Ferrara.

Chapter 8 - Facilities and University Services
Publication Date: November 24, 2009
Responsible Executive: VP for Student Affairs
8.05 Use of University Facilities by Outside Groups: Joint Sponsorship
I. Requirements for the Joint Sponsorship of a Program or Activity at The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA)
Except as permitted in Rule 80103 (Solicitation) and Rule 80106 (Special Use Facilities) of the Regents' Rules and Regulations, the use of UTSA property, buildings, or facilities by individuals who are not students, faculty, or staff; by groups that are not registered student, faculty, or staff organizations; or by other outside associations or corporations, must be jointly sponsored by UTSA and must satisfy all requirements found in Rule 80105 (Joint Sponsorship of the Use of Building or Property) of the Regents' Rules and Regulations. These requirements as implemented at UTSA consist of the following:
1.1 The program or activity must be upon the invitation of UTSA. The president of UTSA, or his or her delegate, must authorize a jointly sponsored program or activity through an Invitation Letter.
1.2 In order for joint sponsorship to be appropriate, the educational implications of the program or activity must be self-evident and must directly supplement the educational purposes of UTSA.
1.3 Jointly sponsored program or activity must not result in financial gain for the invited individual, group, association, or corporation (the "Invited/External Host"). UTSA may require an Invited/External Host to provide an accounting of the income and expenses directly related to a jointly sponsored program or activity.
1.4 UTSA, a public institution established without regard to political affiliation or religious faith, cannot be a joint sponsor for political or sectarian activities, programs or gatherings.
1.5 UTSA department/unit sponsoring the program or activity (the "UTSA/Internal Host") will be ultimately responsible for all details of the jointly sponsored program or activity. A representative of the UTSA/Internal Host must be present at all activities. The UTSA Communications Office reserves the right to approve all copy for advertising and news releases associated with the program or activity.
1.6 The scheduling of property, buildings, or facilities for UTSA's programs or activities, especially UTSA academic or academically-related programs or activities, shall always have priority over the scheduling for programs or activities that are jointly sponsored.
1.7 The fees to be paid by the Invited/External Host will be referenced in the Invitation Letter. At a minimum, the fees must ensure recovery of all costs incurred by UTSA that relate to the jointly sponsored activity or program.
II. Delegates Authorized To Issue Invitation Letters
Only the president or one of his appointed delegates listed below have the authority to issue an Invitation Letter, which authorizes and commits UTSA facilities or other resources to a jointly sponsored activity or program. Appointed delegates are:
Main Campus - Vice President for Student Affairs
Downtown Campus - Vice President for Community Services, or Vice Provost for Downtown Campus
HemisFair Park Campus - Vice President for Community Services
III. Offices Designated To Coordinate Joint Sponsorship Details
The following offices are charged with the responsibility of coordinating the logistic and other details associated with a jointly sponsored program or activity at each campus:
Main Campus - Events Management & Conference Services
Downtown Campus - Downtown Special Events Office, or Vice Provost for Downtown Campus
HemisFair Park Campus - ITC Special Events Office
IV. Highlights of the Joint Sponsorship Request Process
The fully detailed process for requesting and obtaining approval for a jointly sponsored activity or program is found at http://www.utsa.edu/events/cohost. This website also has links to documents and forms associated with this process. Therefore, this Section IV of UTSA HOP 8.05 is only intended to make prospective Invited/External and UTSA/Internal Hosts aware of key logistic details and important timelines relating to this process.
A. Joint Sponsorship Application Form:
This form begins the joint sponsorship approval process and establishes many of the terms and conditions that will relate to the joint sponsorship if it is actually approved. Authorized representatives from both the UTSA/Internal Host and the Invited/External Host must accurately complete this form, providing as much detailed information as possible, must promptly sign it, and then must timely submit it to the appropriate UTSA coordinating department listed in Section III, above. If the completed application form is submitted less than 60 days before the proposed program or activity, then the request may not be considered.
B. Key Logistic Details:
- Use of UTSA space or facilities for the jointly sponsored program or activity occurs through a separate reservation process that must be handled entirely by the UTSA/Internal Host.
- UTSA may require a deposit from the Invited/External Host.
- Depending upon the nature and size of the program/activity and the age and number of participants, UTSA may require signed releases, indemnification agreements and/or an insurance policy covering the program or activity. UTSA's Risk Manager may also impose additional conditions or requirements on the program or activity.
- Food is not allowed in many UTSA buildings, and where it is allowed, an UTSA-approved caterer must be used.
- As noted in Section 1.7, above, UTSA must ensure recovery of all its costs associated with a jointly sponsored program or activity. The Invited/External Host will usually be invoiced separately by each UTSA service provider.
C. Notification of Approval (Invitation Letter)
When a jointly sponsored program or activity has been approved, UTSA's President or a delegate listed in Section II, above, will issue an Invitation Letter to both the Invited/External Host and the UTSA/Internal Host. This letter will establish that the program or activity is jointly sponsored, will confirm any UTSA space or facility reservations, and will contain an estimate of fees associated with the program or activity. After receiving an Invitation Letter, both of the Hosts must contact the appropriate UTSA coordinating office listed in Section III, above, for more information and additional requirements.
