Document Number: 7028A Culture of Evidence: Postsecondary Assessment and Learning Outcomes - This paper argues that postsecondary education today is not driven by hard evidence of its effectiveness, limiting our current state of knowledge about the effectiveness of a college education. This in turn hampers informed decisionmaking by institutions, students and their families and the future employers of college graduates. What is needed is a systemic, data-driven, comprehensive approach to understanding the quality of two-year and four-year postsecondary education, with direct, valid and reliable measures of student learning. The authors propose a comprehensive national system for determining the nature and extent of college learning, focusing on four dimensions of student learning: (1) workplace readiness and general skills; (2) domain-specific knowledge and skills; (3) soft skills, such as teamwork, communication and creativity and (4) student engagement with learning. (Carol A. Dwyer, Catherine M. Millett and David G. Payne, ETS, June 2006) ...

Motorway Database
Home » Motorway Database » M67
Factfile Images Timeline Exit List
The M67 forms a bypass for the A57 through Denton and Hyde just east of Manchester, though not a bypass for the towns themselves, as it ploughs straight through both of them. It was intended to provide a clear route for A57 and A628 traffic to and from Sheffield. The problem with the road is that while building a motorway for Manchester to Sheffield traffic is a great idea, what's really needed is for the M67 to go a bit further — it would be nice, for example, if it ever got within 30 miles of Sheffield. The existing roads struggle to cope and the M67 relieves just a fraction of the residents along the corridor.
The M67 forms a very good example of an urban motorway, and at the M60 end has evidence of an unbuilt flyover — locally known as the ski ramps. At the other end, a temporary road carries the M67 to the roundabout, with clear signs that the finished route was to pass it to the north.
Of course, had it ever been finished, it would have run from the centre of Manchester, out across the Pennines, to end on the M1 near Sheffield. Much better. The main rail line between Sheffield and Manchester, despite expensive upgrades in the 1950s (electrification and a brand new tunnel bore under the Pennines), was run into ruin by the Department of Transport with the intention that the Woodhead Tunnel could be used as an all-weather route for the motorway through the most mountainous section.
It was only when one of the best intercity lines in the country had been fully closed that a Cost On Benefit Analysis revealed that better value for money could be achieved by pouring money down a bottomless pit. The new motorway route was subsequently scrapped. Full details on the plans for the unbuilt sections can be found on the Pathetic Motorways site (see "Related links").

Police Identify the Victims in Sunday's Double Homicide
Omaha, NE - Omaha police responded to 40th and Grant, just south of Lake Street Sunday afternoon and discovered two men dead.
Authorities have identified the victims as 40-year-old Bernardo Noriega and 47-year-old Carlos Morales.
Friends say Morales was the owner of the Genuine Auto Body Shop. Friends of the victim showed up at the scene. Ryan Stander told KMTV Action 3 News, he knew Morales and said " he was a good man who put money in my pocket and taught me the trade of auto body. " Stander said he lived with Carlos for more than a year adding " he treated me good. He took me under his wing."
Police did not say how the two men died but another friend at the scene, told us, she had been told that somebody shot and killed Carlos. The woman, named Becky, said her sister was engaged to Carlos, " I have no idea who would do this to him."
Police are still trying to identify the second victim, and will release his name when next of kin is notified.
Investigators are urging anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers at 444-7867

It's also a show that 67-year-old Robertson, who sports a beard that seemingly should qualify him for immediate membership in the rock group ZZ Top, is at the center of.
When or if he'll return — or if he'll ever really go away, however — is an open question.
"Duck Dynasty" is on hiatus until Jan. 15, and a network spokesman said Thursday that nine of next season's 10 episodes have already been filmed. That means Robertson likely isn't needed in front of the camera before next March, by which time this whole crisis may have blown over.
And blow over it will, eventually, says veteran Hollywood crisis publicist Howard Bragman, who added that Robertson will likely return to the show as well, perhaps after making a heartfelt apology.
"There's too much money at stake," said Bragman, vice president of reputation.com. "Although he plays kind of a hick on TV, I don't think he's dumb. I think he gets what's at stake here. And I hope people on his team, the network and his producers get the message that what he did was wrong. "

Kiki is a lovable, four-year-old American Bulldog available for adoption. This bundle of energy loves to explore the world around him, and is especially happy to have the freedom and space to run around when he's outdoors. When he's out for a walk, Kiki will sometimes pull on the leash, so he needs an adopter who can handle a little bit of weight. As excited as Kiki is to investigate his environment, he doesn't always enjoy being around other dogs and will likely never be a dog park dog.
When Kiki is at home, he loves to laze around with his toys. He doesn't always like to share them, but our Behavior specialists can give his adopter some tips on how to encourage communal toy time. Kiki does well with kids and has lived with young human siblings before. He would do best in a home with kids 10 years of age or older. Adopt Kiki today!
Kiki is available for adoption at the ASPCA Adoption Center. If you are interested in adopting Kiki, please call our Adoptions Department in New York City at (212) 876-7700 ext. 4120.
Not only is October Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, but it also marks the grand opening of the ASPCA's new CARE Ward. This ward was created specifically to house and care for canine victims of cruelty brought in through our partnership with the New York City Police Department, and in honor of this momentous occasion, we want to share the Happy Tail of Atlas, a pit bull rescued from horrific abuse. Atlas is living proof of the resilience of animals, and his story serves as an inspiring reminder that an animal rescued from cruelty could soon become your next best friend.
Atlas was rescued by the NYPD at the end of May. The two-year-old pit bull had suffered terrible cruelty at the hands of an abuser in the Bronx, New York, and was brought to the ASPCA Animal Hospital for treatment. He spent nearly a month in the Hospital, during which time he also received a neuter operation, but he never once lost his sunny-sweet disposition. Staff noted that Atlas "loves every person he meets and loves to be pet"—and with his painful past behind him, he was soon ready to begin his search for a loving home.
At the ASPCA Adoption Center, Atlas's sweet face helped him get the attention of Tricia R., also of the Bronx. "I decided to adopt a dog because I really missed having dogs around like I had growing up," Tricia tells us. She had just finished school and finally had the time and resources to care for a pup of her own.
Tricia had been to the ASPCA Adoption Center once before to tour the facilities and "get all the paperwork out of the way," though she first spotted Atlas on the ASPCA website. "He showed up online with a blurb about how smart and eager to please he was, and I knew he was the one," she recalls. "I went to the Adoption Center the next day to meet him and it was love at first sight!"
After making the adoption official, Tricia reported that Atlas "adjusted to life at home with lightening speed," and that he and his feline brother Gus love to play together. Atlas loves spending time with Tricia, whether it's hanging out at home or romping through the nearby park, and he is also fond of making canine friends.
As if surviving abuse weren't achievement enough, Atlas has more big plans for his future: In December, when he and Tricia pass their six-month-mark together, he will officially begin training to become a therapy dog. Not only will this special pooch bring joy to his new adopter, but he'll spread so much happiness to others as well—and prove once more that, no matter how dark the past, every single animal deserves a bright future.
We are excited to announce the completion of a critical expansion project that will allow the ASPCA to shelter and care for even more canine victims of cruelty in New York City. The Gloria Gurney Canine Annex for Recovery & Enrichment, or CARE, is a facility that can house up to 50 dogs rescued through the NYPD/ASPCA Partnership at any given time. At CARE, these dogs will receive the behavioral assistance necessary to prepare them for adoption.
"The NYPD Partnership has resulted in the rescue of more animal cruelty victims in New York City than ever before," said ASPCA President and CEO Matthew Bershadker. "CARE gives the ASPCA much-needed space to house victimized dogs and offer personalized behavioral rehabilitation that will give them the best chance of finding safe and loving homes."
The new 5,000-square-foot facility is located near the ASPCA Animal Hospital (AAH) and Adoption Center on Manhattan's Upper East Side. Because dogs often arrive at CARE after receiving intensive medical treatment at AAH, the center was specifically designed to create as calming an experience as possible. Paint colors that are relaxing to a dog's eye were chosen for the walls, and skylights line the hallways to provide a natural sunrise and sunset experience. A full-size kitchen will give the staff a place to prepare food and enrichment treats to keep the dogs physically and mentally stimulated during the day. Two spacious exercise rooms, one of which can be divided into two areas, will be used for daily exercise and training sessions.
"Many of the dogs that come to us through the NYPD partnership are shy, fearful and under-socialized as the result of physical abuse or neglect," said Gail Buchwald, Senior Vice President of the ASPCA Adoption Center. "It's important that we provide them with a consistent, home-like atmosphere to assist their recovery while our staff works on their behavioral issues."
CARE is one of several ways the ASPCA has invested in the success of the NYPD partnership. The ASPCA also assists law enforcement officials in the form of forensics work, comprehensive legal services, field assistance and ongoing training and educational materials for officers.
A tiny, injured kitten named Tuffie has two tourists to thank for her rescue and subsequent recovery at the ASPCA Animal Hospital (AAH) this summer. Idahoans Jo Ellen D. and her 15-year-old daughter, Jillian, were walking through Riverside Park during a visit to New York City when they noticed a cluster of people peering at something on the ground.
"We looked over and saw a very little kitten," Jo Ellen recalls. "Someone said she had been hit by a car."
A Good Samaritan pulled the scruffy calico out of harm's way. "All the people had places to go and things to do," Jo Ellen said. "But Jillian and I had no agenda and plenty of time, so we volunteered to take her. I picked her up and she didn't struggle or hiss. She wasn't bleeding, but she was clearly hurt and we assumed in shock."
A veterinary clinic they had passed earlier that day wasn't fully operational on Sundays, so Jillian and Jo Ellen called 3-1-1. "Then someone told us the ASPCA was on the Upper East Side, so we looked it up, saw it was open and got the address," Jo Ellen said.
Jillian hailed a cab and with the kitten in tow, they headed uptown. "The kitten didn't struggle and let both of us hold her," said Jo Ellen.
At AAH, Intake Assistant Stephen Cameron ran the kitten's hard luck story by several staff. Taking a cue from her ordeal, they named her Tuffie.
Tuffie was examined by ASPCA Veterinarian Dr. Danielle Delfino and Veterinary Intern Dr. Felicia Magnaterra. Her injuries included a leg fracture, multiple ulcerations on her paw pads and an abrasion on her shoulder area, but these did not affect her temperament. "She remained friendly and sweet," said Dr. Delfino. "She was always purring and wanted to be next to people."
The following day, Dr. J'mai Gayle, Director of Surgery, repaired Tuffie's fractured hind leg, and Rena LaFaille, Administrative Manager of the ASPCA Adoption Center, took her home to foster her.
"She's a real love bug," said Rena, who has fostered and adopted several special-needs cats from the ASPCA. "She's good pals with my cat Lucas, who acts like he's her father."
"If we could have adopted her, we would have, but geographically it was complicated," said Jo Ellen, whose family has a rescued 10-year-old Samoyed named Kitty and a two-year-old cat named Belle. "But we were so hoping Tuffie would make it."
She did, thanks to some quick thinking and action by Jo Ellen and Jillian. Tuffie is still being cared for in Rena's home, but will likely be available for adoption in the coming weeks.
"It was truly an honor to be in the right place at the right time," Jo Ellen said.

- Description
The Swedish FireSteel Fire Starter - Mini, Originally developed for the Swedish Department of Defense, is a flash of genius. Its 3,000°C spark makes fire building easy in any weather, at any altitude. Used by a number of armies around the world, Swedish FireSteel's dependability has already made it a favorite of survival experts, hunters, fishermen and campers. It has also found its way into cabins and backyards as a fool-proof way to light stoves and gas-barbecues.
- Durable -- lasts 1,000 strikes - a fire a day for over 2 years !
- Works when wet
- Premium quality
- Approved by the International Survival Instructors Association.
Bright spark - can be used as emergency signal. This is an excellent survival fire starting tool and should be in every backpack and survival kit.
It's important to have a good fire starter. It's also important to have some good tinder. We sell some very good tinders here. However, it is also important to use your fire starter at home before you go outdoors. A great project for the budding outdoorsman is making your own tinder. Try the cotton ball and vaseline tinder method. Just get a cotton ball and some vaseline. Get the vaseline throughout the cotton ball, but don't oversoak it so it's too wet with vaseline. You'll need to pull the cotton ball apart a bit to expose the individual threads and throw a spark from you new fire starter. You'll be amazed at how quickly it catches fire and how long and hot it burns. This is a great project for scout troops as well.
The homemade cotton ball and vaseline tinder is great, but can be messy. Go ahead and also try one or more of our compressed tinders. Another great project is to try different fire starters and tinders to see which works best for you. Again, the bottom line is to learn how to make a fire with your fire starter long before you have to start a fire in a survival situation.
- Reviews
Customer Reviews — 2item(s)
- Great fire starter. Have to have very dry tinder but will light fast. Relatively easy so practice and have fun with it.
- The flint that i bought was great, it started a fire in seconds!

CLU beats Redlands 45-35
Kingsmen down Redlands
The Smudge Pot will spend its first year on the campus of Cal Lutheran University.
The CLU football team claimed ownership of the new trophy by holding on for a 45-35 victory over host Redlands on Saturday night at Ted Runner Stadium.
Despite losing starting quarterback Kevin Ramay to a hand injury, the No. 8 Kingsmen (3-1, 2-0) extended their Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference winning streak to 22 straight games.
CLU and Redlands added a new wrinkle to the rivalry this season by introducing an annual trophy to be awarded to the victor.
CLU gladly accepted the Smudge Pot to bring back on the bus, and will celebrate by painting it violet and gold.
CLU's offense got off to a jittery start when Ramay had a pass intercepted on the opening drive.
But CLU senior James Emma forced a Redlands fumble two plays later and the Kingsmen recovered.
Ramay quickly atoned for his early turnover by hitting senior wide receiver Eric Rogers for a 14-yard touchdown pass and a 7-0 lead.
The Kingsmen used a little trickery to increase their lead to 14-0 when senior wide receiver Frankie Jones completed a 54-yard touchdown pass to running back Ryan Zirbel down the right sideline.
Redlands had fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line to start the second quarter, but CLU's defense stopped a quarterback draw and kept the Bulldogs out of the end zone.
Redlands (1-3, 1-1) finally broke through for its first touchdown when quarterback Chad Hurst completed a 16-yard pass to Peter Adams to cut the deficit to 14-7.
Ramay suffered a hand injury in the second quarter, and was replaced by Zach Shultis.
Shultis engineered a scoring drive to give CLU a 21-7 lead when Rogers ran for a 10-yard touchdown.
Vince Minor increased CLU's advantage to 28-7 by returning a punt 43 yards for a touchdown.
Redlands cut the deficit in half just before halftime on a 3-yard touchdown pass from Hurst to Aaron Atkins.
It appeared Redlands may engineer a second-half comeback, reminiscent to last year's meeting between the rivals, when the Bulldogs pulled to within 31-29 in the third quarter on two touchdown runs by Brad Crisanty.
But Rogers came through big again for CLU despite playing on an injured ankle.
CLU's career touchdown receptions leader made a great catch in the right corner of the end zone at the start of the fourth quarter to give the Kingsmen a 38-29 lead.
Following an interception by Broc Galbreth, CLU sealed the victory when Shultis hit Jones for a 52-yard touchdown along the right sideline.
CLU remains on the road next Saturday to play Claremont-Mudd-Scripps at 7 p.m.

Q: Why is only a small part of my Video Rendering or nothing at all ?
Answer: Most likely you have "Render Loop Region Only" selected by accident in the "Render As" window.
Three different scenarios normally indicate this problem.
1. Only a section of the project has rendered.
2. All that has rendered is a black screen.
3. The video has rendered OK, but when it gets to where the end should be, the video just keeps going and going, showing just a black screen.
This is a very common problem for new users of Vegas. If this has just happened to you, then welcome to the Club !!!
I remember this being one of this first big headaches I experienced when I first started to learn how to use Vegas Movie Studio. Please watch the video tutorial I made explaining how to fix this problem. Once you learn what this tool does, it can actually become a very useful friend and not a foe, when you want to test small portions of your project during the editing process.

The John Deere plant in Thibodaux is only one of two in the world that builds sugarcane harvesters. Ben Leblanc climbs down from a new sugarcane harvester he just test drove. / P.C. firstname.lastname@example.com
By the numbers
World Sugar Cane production in 2005 (latest available)
World total: 1,011,581,000
Source: United Nations Food & Agriculture Organization
THIBODAUX As production of sugar cane grows worldwide to make the favored feedstock for ethanol, so will orders at John Deere Thibodaux.
The famed farm equipment manufacturer, which holds 68 percent of the cane farming-market as of 2007, has two factories in the world building sugar cane harvesters in Goias state of Brazil, and Thibodaux.
Hand cutting is still the norm for more than 70 percent of the world's 1.4 billion tons of sugar cane, especially in developing countries and John Deere makes field loaders (a giant claw-like arm) to serve this old-fashioned style of harvest.
But the real money, and growth potential, will come as cane producers move to mechanized harvesting. These 10-foot-tall mammoth machines cost at least $300,000, but do the work of 60 men. In the long run mechanized saves labor costs, and wastes less space in trucks with billet-sized cane pieces instead of the long, awkward whole stalks cut by machete-wielding field workers.
We believe we're only in the infancy stage of sales, said Mike Gilpin, division sales manager in Thibodaux. Worldwide, I dont think weve reached 25 percent mechanization, so theres tremendous opportunity for growth. ... A lot of that will be due to ethanol.
About 200 countries between the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn (32 degrees N and 32 degrees S on your world map) have the climate to grow cane. Brazil is the world leader by far, expanding its cane acreage faster than any country to feed a growing flex-fuel car population that favors ethanol, which makes up 40 percent of non-diesel fuel Brazilians drive on.
The Goias factory is building just to meet the Brazilian demand, leaving the rest of the world marketplace to John Deere Thibodaux.
Nestled between cane fields on the city's outskirts, 500 employees work in three buildings spread over 400,000 square feet, and everything about the plant breeds efficiency.
Workers make almost every piece for every machine from scratch there, stamping raw steel, painting and assembling about one-and-a-half full harvesters each day. They also repair 120 to 140 used machines per year.
Each machine is custom-built for the farmer, based on their region's cane type, yield potential and ground soil consistency. At the end of the assembly line window stickers show where in the world each machine is destined for.
Probably Australia, Argentina, Bolivia, Columbia are most advanced right now, Gilpin said. Australia is 100 percent mechanized, have been since the late 1970s. ... Only the U.S. is also fully mechanized.
Founded in 1965 by Louisiana farmers and engineers as Cameco, the factory in Thibodaux served a limited U.S. sugar cane region of Florida, Louisiana and Texas. Cameco was purchased in 1998 by John Deere.
In mechanical harvest today, the chopper harvester originally developed in Australia cuts a stalk at its base, strips leaves off, dices the stalk into six-inch pieces called billets, and spits them out a shoot into a basket-truck driving alongside.
Eduardo Cunali, manager of two John Deere farm equipment dealerships in Brazil's cane-rich São Paulo state, visited Thibodaux in early August to see what advances Brazilians haven't made yet.
The U.S. is much more efficient than us, more advanced in technology, said Cunali, who took a special interest in mechanized cane-planting machines with GPS-devices. In Brazil we still do about 90 percent hand-planting. We've got to change our heads. Brazil planting is less efficient than planting here, but in Brazil they spend less money, too.

MAUMELLE, Ark. (KTHV) - The company supplying drinking water for about 4,000 Arkansans has notified ExxonMobil that it is prepared to take legal action if necessary.
Central Arkansas Water workers say they're giving the oil company 60 days to take action against re-opening the Pegasus Pipeline, which ruptured in March, before they order a court date. The pipeline, which spilled oil in Mayflower, also runs near Lake Maumelle.
The water company says it will not support the pipeline starting back up, for fear that a similar oil spill may affect Lake Maumelle, until certain actions are taken. Those specific actions have not been detailed, but Central Arkansas Water told ExxonMobil that if the oil company provides satisfactory information about the pipeline near the Maumelle lake, they willsue to stop it from restarting.
"We haven't been given the information to be able to evaluate the pipeline and determine whether any other those issues are present," said John Tynan with CAW.
Exxon Mobil issued a statement saying, "We are currently reviewing the letter and are in the process of developing a response. We do not have a time frame for the restart of the Pegasus Pipeline. It will remain shut down, and we will not restart it until we are satisfied it is safe to do so and have the approval of Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA)."

A sad truth about federal politics: political wins don't flow from policy wins. Policy wins for one side mean policy losses for another – and angry constituencies, plus fodder for negative ads and fundraising all around.
Think health care reform and deficit reduction. Both are good in policy theory, but bad in political practice for the "winner" of the policy battle.
So, Congress isn't going to accomplish much this year. The President can't accomplish much without Congress, so he's not going to try.
So what's an advocacy program to do? Three suggestions to make 2012 successful:
1. Build your offline advocacy muscle.
This year will bring ideal opportunities to get your advocates offline and in front of their representatives.
From telephone town halls to in-district fundraising events, rallies to public debates, door-knocking to polling, this year Members of Congress will be unusually available to their constituents.
Use these opportunities to build your offline advocacy muscle.
Organize a "bird dog" campaign by asking your advocates to pledge to participate in a telephone town hall and ask a question about your issue. Ask your advocates to pick up calls from pollsters and mention your issue if given an opportunity to provide their own answer to a question. Encourage your advocates to include a note about your issue with any contributions they make to candidates, and to bend candidate's ears if they get a chance at fundraising events.
Elected officials never care more about constituent feedback than during election years. Use this year wisely.
Work in the states.
If you don't have a robust strategy for working in the states this year, you're missing the ball.
Fifty percent of members of Congress were once state legislators, and they bring their ideology and issue positions to the Hill with them from their state offices.
Given redistricting, the impact of wave elections, and the increasing coordination of policy across states (primarily by conservative legislators through groups like ALEC), even if your issue matrix is primarily federal, you should be engaging in advocacy in the states.
Mind the Gap.
This year we're continuing our focus on improving the practice grassroots advocacy as a way to influence policy.
We humbly recommend that you revisit our own The Great Disconnect, Jake Brewer's Tragedy of Advocacy, and take a few minutes to read Clay Johnson's Dear Internet: It's No Longer OK to Not Know How Congress Works.
SuperPACs and other election-year players make it more important than ever that grassroots advocacy is done well: which means smart targeting, savvy timing, and building to demonstrate political power.
2012 Is Your Year. Let Us Know How We Can Help.
As ever, if we can help meet your strategy, advocacy, or communications needs, don't hesitate to be in touch: 202.683.8465 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Furman coach Niko Medved talks with senior Charlie Reddick during a timeout Saturday.
- Filed Under
After giving what coach Niko Medved described as a "poor approach" in its Southern Conference opening game Saturday, the Furman men's basketball team doesn't have long to wait to redeem itself.
The Paladins (6-8, 0-1) will travel up I-85 today to take on UNC Greensboro at 7 p.m.
"There's no time to sulk. Win or lose in conference play ... you've got to move on to the next one," Medved said after Furman's 72-63 home loss to Chattanooga. "We have to come back and give a much better effort Monday and I expect nothing less from these guys." ...

Louie Guenthner
- Filed Under
Former Kentucky state Rep. Louie Guenthner, a Republican who represented the 48th House District in northeastern Jefferson County for eight terms, has died after a long battle with multiple illnesses.
Louis R. "Louie" Guenthner died Tuesday, two days shy of his 68th birthday.
Guenthner began representing the affluent area including Indian Hills and Prospect in 1974 and continued until he was defeated in the 1988 Republican primary. He also made unsuccessful runs for Jefferson County judge-executive in 1985 and for the U.S. Senate in 1978. ...

Copyright 2014 Boston Herald Inc.
All Rights Reserved
Local universities balked yesterday at a proposed College Athletes Bill of Rights, which they said would force them to pay for lifelong health insurance for players injured during games.
Representatives from the area's Division 1 schools said the proposal would put them at a competitive disadvantage on the field and burden already money-losing athletic departments.
'It is our position that the proposed ordinance, though well-meaning, calls for many rights that already are provided for or protected under existing NCAA legislation,' Northeastern University said in a statement. 'It also is our position that the bill of rights relies on conclusions - particularly around revenue generation, 40-hour-per-week athletic participation demands, historically low graduation rates and the ability to revoke athletic scholarships at the leisure of the sponsoring athletic program - that are not consistent with existing NCAA legislation and are not supported by current data.'
The College Athletes Bill of Rights proposed by Boston City Councilor Josh Zakim would require schools in the city to cover an athlete's medical expenses for any sport-related injury for the rest of the player's life.
'I believe this to be a civil rights issue,' Zakim told the Herald. 'Boston has the ability to be a leader on this.'
Under his proposal, scholarships could be taken away only for academic or disciplinary reasons.
'There's an awful lot of chances of injury that would mitigate the ability to graduate if a scholarship were taken away on the basis of that injury,' said Dan Lebowitz, executive director of Northeastern's Center for the Study of Sport in Society.
A separate bill Zakim introduced would create a head-injury protocol that would prevent players from returning to games after sustaining a concussion or becoming unconscious.
School representatives said they're in favor of protecting students but questioned whether the city should be the one to regulate them.Zakim's proposal now goes to working sessions to hammer out the language with the hope of a vote later this year.

A hysterectomy is surgery to remove a woman's uterus, or womb. The womb is the area where a baby grows when a woman is pregnant.
Alternative Names
Vaginal hysterectomy; Abdominal hysterectomy; Supracervical hysterectomy; Radical hysterectomy; Removal of the uterus; Laparoscopic hysterectomy; Laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy; LAVH; Total laparoscopic hysterectomy; TLH; Laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy; Robotically assisted hysterectomy
During a hysterectomy, your doctor may remove the entire uterus or just part of it. The fallopian tubes (the tubes that connect the ovaries to the uterus) and ovaries may also be removed.
Types of hysterectomy:
- Partial (or supracervical) hysterectomy: The upper part of the uterus is removed. The cervix is left in place.
- Total hysterectomy: The entire uterus and cervix are removed.
- Radical hysterectomy: The uterus, upper part of the vagina, and tissue on both sides of the cervix are removed. This is most often done if you have cancer.
There are many different ways to perform a hysterectomy. It may be done through a surgical cut in either the belly (abdomen) or vagina.
Your doctor will help you decide which type of hysterectomy is best for you. The specific procedure depends on your medical history and reason for the surgery.
- Abdominal hysterectomy: The surgeon makes a 5- to 7-inch surgical cut in the lower part of your belly. The cut may go either up and down, or it may go across your belly, just above your pubic hair. This is called a "bikini cut."
- Vaginal hysterectomy: The surgeon makes a cut in your vagina and removes the uterus through this opening. The wound is be closed with stitches.
- Laparoscopic hysterectomy: A laparoscope is a narrow tube with a tiny camera on the end. Your surgeon will make 3 to 4 small cuts in your belly. The laparoscope and other surgical instruments will be inserted through the openings. The surgeon cuts the uterus into small pieces that can be removed through these openings.
- Laparoscopy-assisted vaginal hysterectomy: The surgeon removes the uterus through a cut that is made inside your vagina. A laparoscope is used to guide the procedure.
- Robotic hysterectomy: This procedure is like laparoscopic surgery, but a special machine (robot) is used. Robotic surgery is most often used to perform a hysterectomy when a patient has cancer or is very overweight and vaginal surgery is not safe.
Why the Procedure Is Performed
There are many reasons a woman may need a hysterectomy. The procedure may be recommended if you have:
- Cancer of the uterus, most often endometrial cancer
- Cancer of the cervix or a precancerous condition of the cervix called cervical dysplasia
- Cancer of the ovary
- Childbirth complications, such as uncontrolled bleeding
- Long-term (chronic) pelvic pain
- Severe endometriosis that does not get better with other treatments
- Severe, long-term vaginal bleeding that cannot be controlled by medicines or other surgeries
- Slipping of the uterus into the vagina (uterine prolapse)
- Tumors in the uterus, such as uterine fibroids
- Adenomyosis, which causes heavy, painful periods
Hysterectomy is a major surgery. It is possible that your condition may be treated without this major surgery. Talk with your doctor about all your treatment options. Less invasive procedures include:
- Uterine artery embolization
- Pelvic laparoscopy
- Endometrial ablation
The risks for any surgery are:
- Allergic reactions to medicines
- Breathing problems
- Blood clots, which may cause death if they travel to the lungs
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Injury to nearby body areas
Risks that are possible from a hysterectomy are:
- Injury to the bladder or ureters
- Pain during sexual intercourse
- Early menopause, if the ovaries are removed or if a woman is close to menopause
- Decreased interest in sex
Before the Procedure
Before deciding to have a hysterectomy, ask your doctor what to expect after the procedure. Many women who have had a hysterectomy notice changes in their body and in how they feel about themselves. Talk with your doctor, family, and friends about these possible changes before you have surgery.
Always tell your health care team about all the medicines you are taking, including herbs, supplements, and other medicines you bought without a prescription.
During the days before the surgery:
- You may be asked to stop taking aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), clopidogrel (Plavix), warfarin (Coumadin), and any other drugs like these.
- Ask your doctor which drugs you should still take on the day of your surgery.
- If you smoke, try to stop. Ask your doctor or nurse for help quitting.
On the day of your surgery:
- You will usually be asked not to drink or eat anything for 8 hours before the surgery.
- Take any medicines your doctor told you to take with a small sip of water.
- Your doctor or nurse will tell you when to arrive at the hospital.
After the Procedure
After surgery, you will be given pain medicines to relieve any discomfort.
You may also have a tube, called a catheter, inserted into your bladder for 1 to 2 days to pass urine.
You will be asked to get up and move around as soon as possible after surgery. This helps prevent blood clots from forming in your legs and speeds up recovery.
You will be asked to get up to use the bathroom as soon as you are able. You may return to a normal diet as soon as you can without causing nausea or vomiting.
How long you stay in the hospital depends on the type of hysterectomy. If you have a robot-assisted hysterectomy, you will likely go home the next day. Other times, most women who have a hysterectomy stay in the hospital 2 to 3 days. The hospital stay may be longer if the hysterectomy is done because of cancer.
Outlook (Prognosis)
How long it takes you to recover depends on the type of hysterectomy. Recovery may take anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks. Average recovery times are:
- Abdominal hysterectomy: 4 - 6 weeks
- Vaginal hysterectomy: 3 - 4 weeks
- Robot-assisted hysterectomy: 2 - 4 weeks
A hysterectomy will cause menopause if you also have your ovaries removed. Removal of the ovaries can also lead to a decreased sex drive. Your doctor may recommend estrogen replacement therapy.

Underage cursing is increasingly common
Adolescents and preteens are swearing more publicly than ever — especially at school, experts say.
It's conversational swearing — in the hallways and in the classroom — that is on the rise, says Timothy Jay, one of the leading scholars on cursing in the United States.
Teens are more likely to drop casual expletives, or "fillers," than the generation before them and have more trouble adjusting their conversation to fit their audience. That means adults — especially strangers who cannot sanction the teens — hear more of the same language that the teens' friends hear, said Jay, author of "Why We Curse" and "Cursing in America."
He estimates that the average adolescent uses roughly 80 to 90 swear words a day.

Perfectly Sweet: Clothing and Accessories For Your Perfectly Sweet Little Girl
Anna McClain is the creative and crafty genius behind the brand, Perfectly Sweet, who makes custom couture dresses, accessories, and girls for little girls made from sustainable materials found locally in Tallahassee, Florida. She derives her inspiration from her three spritely children, especially her little girl who also enjoys Anna's creations. Anna's designs cater to the innocent and fun nature of little girls.
My experience with Anna's Perfectly Sweet treats began in 2009 when I ordered a gift set of custom made felt toys for my tea party loving French niece, Margot, who was three years old at the time. I asked Anna to create an array of French foods and a cake for Margot's special birthday giving Anna the freedom to design and create foods that Margot could relate to as a French petite.
Anna created cheese, baguettes, croissants, petit pain au chocolats and a lovely chocolate strawberry cake with her name on it. With exceptional talent, Anna designed and constructed the set with precision and detail and beautifully wrapped and mailed the gifts straight to our front door.
The joy experienced by the surprised gasps upon which Margot opened the gifts began the barrage of compliments on the excellent gift selection. Margot loved her food so much that she walked around the house carrying her baguettes as if she was a big girl buying her freshly baked bread from the nearby boulangerie. Everyone kept marveling at the find detail, the craftsmanship, and the high quality of Anna's Perfectly Sweet creations making her creations a definitively memorable gift.
Anna's dresses are nothing short of whimsical; each design is full of southern charm and combining the hopeful and girly spirit of a princess. Little girls love wearing her designs because they're comfortable, fun, and adorable. What parent can't resist seeing their little girl feel confident and happy in her own skin?
Despite Anna's busy schedule as a full time wife and mother of three, she manages to quickly process orders and whip up new designs. How she does it is a complete mystery, but she manages to "make it work." She's a pleasure to work with, she keeps things remarkably simple, and she has an enjoyable, bright personality, making selecting gifts for the little girl in your life perfectly sweet.

NDMP backups with Single Tape Drive
I have a single HP Tape LIbrary with LTO4 tape drive and a robot.
I wanted to use this for normal backups and also NDMP backups.
We dont have SSO licensed.
Is that possible to use for NDMP and other backups at the same time.
Comments 8 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Go ahead and configure the remote NDMP , where your regulare media server(media manager ) take the data from NDMP and sends to Tape library.
SSO is if you want to share your drives between multiple media servers.As you don't have the license and only using 1 tape drive it is not much required in your environment.
Make sure you create the Media Manager Storage Units as you want to write both NDMP and non-NDMP data to this storage unit.
Once done your normal policy( like windows) and NDMP policy can go to this storage unit without any issues.
If you want to learn or know more about NDMP store units and Media manager storage units and differences then Check the Symantec NBU NDMP admin guide 7.5 page 22
If you want to use this tape drive for normal backups (media manager type storage unit) and also for local NDMP (backup data will not be sent over LAN. ----- NDMP type storage unit) you will need SSO license.
If you do not want to buy SSO license then only option is creating a media manager storage unit and sending normal and NDMP backups to it however in this case NDMP backup data will be sent over LAN.

Scott Horton Interviews Jason Ditz
This interview is excerpted from the KPFK 90.7 FM Los Angeles broadcast of January 21st. The original is available here.
Jason Ditz, managing news editor at Antiwar.com, discusses the ongoing developments in the Tunisia revolution; the nervous Middle East/N. African dictators of US client states who fear they could be toppled next; the State Department group-think revealed in the WikiLeaks diplomatic cables; the low-enriched uranium swap proposal that will leave Iran up to its eyeballs in medical isotopes; Bradley Manning's mistreatment in the Quantico marine brig and the MLK day protests on his behalf; large scale bombings in Iraq that may indicate a revitalized Sunni insurgency; and the goings-on in Lebanon, where a successful coalition would allow Hezbollah to form a government.

I have a dream that all our people get up and stand up for their rights in North Africa and the Middle East.
I have a dream that all tyrants in North Africa and the Middle East are toppled by the opressed masses.
Oppression can not last forever and thanks to the fearless Tunisians, Africa and the Middle East are going to be liberated in the coming days and months.
The only people to lose if my people are free are those who has sponsored dictators for half a century to oppress the masses in the region.

Starting the New Year with a Positive Attitude. ~ Paige Vignola {Video}
I was raised to be a news junkie.
From a young age I was trained to watch the news every day and, as I got older, to read the papers. NPR, BBC, the AP and various local publications show up in my RSS feed every morning. Admittedly, I may not make my way through them all every single day, but I make an effort to stay informed. Once a month or so I get handed a backlog of Time or Newsweek magazines from a familial benefactor.
I like to stay informed. Sadly, for the most part, staying informed means keeping on top of a variety of unpleasant statistics and news stories. While it is undoubtedly true that great and terrible things happen every day in the world, that is not all that happens, but those sorts of things do not get regularly reported.
Take the next four minutes to allow yourself the joy of hearing a fast-paced recital of many of the good things that have taken place in the last year:
Divorce rates are down; unintended pregnancy rates are down; infant mortality rates are down, poverty rates are down, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Let's start the year with a little positivity!
John Green got most of his statistics from the UN and Human Progress websites.

About this set: I have been collecting this set since I was ten years old! I am considered a true collector because I strictly do it for the enjoyment.
I always liked the 59's because of the combination of different colors, the great close-up pictures of the ball players, and their autographs. The team logos, and the background pictures of the ball parks, are also cool. The stats and detailed information on the reverse side of the cards are very interesting. A lot of
interesting facts, about the ball player, is found here.
I consider the 59 set the most beautiful of them all. Afterall, it includes a huge group of great hall of fame players, who I remember the most growing up as a kid. I always looked forward to listening to Pee Wee Reese and Dizzy Dean doing the game of the week. Oddly enough, it always seemed to include the New York Yankees.
The bubble gum wasn't bad either. I looked forward to chewing on those huge pieces of gum, with the anticipation of discovering my most cherished ball players, with each and every pack I opened. With all that gum chewing and bubble blowing, I made numerous trips to the dentist to take care of all the cavaties!
I only regret the fact that I destroyed many of my 59 cards by attaching them to the spokes on my bike with wooden clothes pins. It sure made an awesome noise as I pedaled down my street, but it also destroyed many valuable cards in the process. Well, such is life growing up as a kid.
At 5 cents a pack, the cards and memories were all worth it. I purchased the packs, from the good humor ice cream truck, as I walked home from school, in 1960, in Lemon Grove, California.
One other side note: I was the youngest kid on my Little League team at ten years old. We not only traded baseball cards, but won the league championship with a 18-3 record. The team from next door (El Cajon, California) won the Little League World Series the previous year.
My biggest thrill came when I caught a foul ball at a major league baseball game!
