Cuesta regains full accreditation
By RHYS HEYDEN
Cuesta College President/Superintendent Gil Stork announced on Feb. 10 that the college's accreditation has been fully reaffirmed, and all sanctions against Cuesta have been lifted.
After the college's two-year struggle to retain its accreditation due to inadequate planning with regard to technology resources and financial stability, the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC) has deemed Cuesta's turnaround fully satisfactory.
"The Commission commends Cuesta College on the depth and quality of the continuous improvement processes now in place," ACCJC President Barbara Beno wrote in a Feb. 7 letter.
The commission placed Cuesta on severe "show cause" status in February 2012, imperiling the college's accreditation. After an eight-month scramble to redesign future planning, Cuesta was subsequently placed on warning—the least severe level of sanction—in February 2013.
The most recent report from the commission removed all sanctions, reaffirmed the college's accreditation, and completed the turnaround process for Cuesta.
"We want to continue to show that we're on the right path, because it's a continuing process," Cuesta Media Relations Coordinator Lauren Milbourne told New Times. "Just because we're sanction-free doesn't mean we're free to do anything we want."
The college is scheduled to submit its institutional self-evaluation report later this year.

To deal with possible terrorist threats, WCVB-TV, set up a private, emergency communication and transportation system, and equipped crews in field with "personal safety" equipment while covering the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston.
"The word from on high was that there was a terrorist threat on Saturday," said WCVB-TV's chief engineer Rick Zach. "We had no idea of what the threat was but the absolute mandate from the station was that your personal safety came first."
During pre-convention planning, the station laid the groundwork for emergency communication and transportation, and with the warning came added urgency to be able to communicate with and possibly evacuate the 125 people from the station credentialed to cover the event.
"If there was a need for an evacuation, all of our staff was instructed to switch off the broadcast frequency and switch over to the emergency frequency," he said. At that point, Boston-market station's crews would be instructed on where to rendezvous with vans to be transported to safety.
Station rover crews, consisting of a reporter, a cameraman and a microwave technician, were sent into potential hot spots like specially set-aside demonstration areas where ENG vans were not allowed.
Besides a camera and mic, the crew carried a portable microwave antenna and two bags. In the red bag was a Strata TXU microwave transmitter from MRC. In the blue backpack were spare batteries, communications equipment and personal safety items.
While Zach didn't identify the specific personal safety gear, he did say it was intended to protect crews from possibly dangerous angry mobs being contained by police.
Last week's Democratic National Convention was a relatively peaceful affair. Large groups of demonstrators did not materialize and protestors who did were relatively well-behaved. Nor did a terrorist incident occur.
Regardless, preparation for the real possibility of such incidents demonstrates the changed environment of covering high-profile political events since the Sept. 11 terror attacks.
Zach has put together several Web pages with images and commentary about covering this year's Democratic convention.

Weather News
Chilly morning for NSWSam Brown, Tuesday October 15, 2013 - 13:56 EDT
Almost all of New South Wales experienced a very cold morning today, with most recording their coolest morning so far this month and some dropping to nine degrees below average.
It was Tuggeranong's coolest October morning since 2001 dropping to -1.7 at 6:30am. Bathurst also had a cold morning, dropping to -1.6 degrees at 6am, its coldest October morning since 2004. Dubbo almost hit freezing this morning, recording 0.2 degrees and registering its coldest October morning since 2003. Along the coast, Moruya chilled to 2 degrees, its coolest morning since 2007.
Cowra, Parkes and Wagga Wagga also had their coolest morning since July, while parts of Sydney including Bankstown, Terrey Hills and Campbelltown recorded temperatures not seen since the end of winter.
These icy temperatures and light winds provided excellent conditions for frost formation, resulting in widespread frost across the state.
A stronger than usual cold front combined with a high pressure system rapidly building in its wake was the cause of these unseasonably cold temperatures.
Parts of the state will still experience a cool morning tomorrow, although generally not as cool as this morning. However, from today a low pressure trough will filter heat over the state from inland parts of the country. This will gradually bring minimum temperatures into the double digits for most places by Thursday.

Essay Topics
Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:
Essay Topic 1
Graham Swift's novel Waterland features several important symbols that recur over and over again--the phlegm-like soil, the chest in the attic and the hidden key, pikes and eels, Coronation Ale, the empty bottle Tom finds in the river, the ruined windmill, and so on. Choose two of those symbols, trace in detail how they are used throughout the novel to point to something beyond themselves, and discuss how and why they are important to understanding some of the deeper truths the novel is trying to convey.
Essay Topic 2
One major conflict in Graham Swift's novel Waterland is the one between the narrator, Tom Crick, and the headmaster of the school where Tom teaches, Lewis Scott. Using specific examples from the book, show what the four root causes of that conflict are--a conflict about personality, a conflict about the school's reputation, a conflict about teaching style, and a conflict about the usefulness of teaching history. Analyze the differing visions of the future that Tom and the headmaster seem to harbor and the implications of each of those visions for the future of society.
Essay Topic 3
Carefully consider the character Dick Crick in Graham Swift's novel Waterland. Trace what the reader learns about Dick as the story progresses that explains Dick's personality, actions, and passions. Finally, analyze what Dick's life might symbolize in Tom Crick's narrative about the Fens and its people.

How was anybody supposed to understand you were "joking?" Do you understand how humour works? Quoting two posters and then writing the word "debatable" followed by a rolly-eye emoticon doesn't exactly scream, "ha ha, just joking around here, guys!"

No, see guys, it's new wave post-modern meta humor. By posting something that is not funny at all and not even a joke by any conventional definition, and then claiming it is, he is actually satirizing the stark lack of humor in our electronic, post-objective, modern world. His contradiction serves to call attention to the constructed nature of "humor" as a metaphysical entity and leads us to reevaluate it. You ask: "How is that a joke?" and he responds "How is anything?" And in the face of such staggering epistemological uncertainty, we can only laugh.
Well, either that or he's just an idiot.

I'll admit, up until February of 2012, I did not think highly of Aniplex of America. I was frustrated by their high prices, considering it an "unnecessary barrier". Even today, I still won't cave to shows that I don't consider an absolute favorite or titles I never saw before. In particular, the lack of not being able to legally stream Garden of Sinners is really getting on my nerves. I was simply happy to own shows that I "liked".
Then, I saw Madoka Magica and absolutely fell in love. I watched and rewatched it. I read many news articles about it. I wore silly hats in public as a display of devotion for it. I treasure my physical copies and recently gave Madoka its own little shelf. Honestly, I probably have an unhealthy obsession with this title.
Then, a funny thing happened. Titles that I own but didn't love suddenly felt out of place. After setting up shelves for Madoka, Evangelion, and Steins;Gate (the other titles that I love on THAT level), it turned out that there were very few titles other than those three that I wanted to keep at all. I'm currently going through the selection process and clearing out titles that didn't fulfill my ridiculously high standards. Ownership of a show means a lot more to me now than it did two years ago. It's a real hassle to have all this stuff cluttered around the house and only a select few titles deserve that distinction.
Reflecting on these thoughts, I think it's fair to say that Aniplex titles go through my most difficult tests with their prices for good reason. It's a true gauge of just how much I really like a title. If there is any hesitation, I should pass on the title and move on. Fate/Zero is a perfect example. I won't deny its brilliance but there's something missing, something about this work that leaves me feeling "cold". If I have to think about whether I want it, I shouldn't own it. On the other hand, the two titles I've seen this year that really left an impression, Nausicaa and Wolf Children, are on my to-buy list. The only reason why I haven't already ordered them is because I'm currently making a new tablet my financial priority. I should point out that Madoka and Steins;Gate-related items are what have prevented me from buying my tablet for eight months now.
It took me a while to realize this but I genuinely appreciate what Aniplex has done for anime fans. Every decision with one of their titles involves a little soul-searching. For the vast majority, I'll pass on buying them and, in some cases, really become aggravated. To go back to Garden of Sinners, for all I know, that might be on that special level in my heart. Until I find out, it's not worth my time. Just know that if I come across another title that has me spellbound, if it's an Aniplex title, I know I can count on them to make a release worthy of display of my affection. Incidentally, what they're doing with the theatrical release of the new Madoka movie is something that can't be done by any other North American anime company. As someone that loves Madoka, I couldn't be happier that it's in the hands of Aniplex of America.

Eh, you can't really consider Operation Vividred as an ecchi title - certainly not on the level of High School DxD or Queen's Blade, both of which feature abundant breastural nudity.
Notwithstanding that, OV did feature some pretty great rearview camel-toe.

Didn't know that, but the overall point still stands: if High School DxD and Queen's Blade are your rulers for what constitutes ecchi, then OV is going to come up short. Are you prepared to at least concede that, you contentious bastard?

Armenia play their final FIFA World Cup qualifier with a chance of making the play-offs, but face a tough trip to Group B winners Italy.
Vardan Minasyan's side are fifth in the pool but trail second-placed Bulgaria by just one point, meaning they could still finish immediately behind Cesare Prandelli's men.
The scenario is unlikely as it would require Bulgaria and the Czech Republic to draw - with Denmark also failing to beat bottom-placed Malta - while they win in Naples to secure one of the eight best runners-up spots.
Armenia have been inconsistent throughout their qualifying campaign, winning four but losing five of their nine fixtures, but a 2-1 home victory over Bulgaria on Friday ensured they kept their hopes of reaching Brazil 2014 alive.
Spartak Moscow forward Yura Movsisyan is likely to lead the line for Armenia.
The 26-year-old has three goals in qualifying so far, and will look to provide the attacking threat in Tuesday's fixture, while Borussia Dortmund playmaker Henrikh Mkhitaryan is also likely to start.
Italy, who won the 2006 World Cup, have enjoyed a comfortable campaign in Group B, winning six and drawing three of their nine games to secure automatic qualification.
Milan striker Mario Balotelli - who missed the 2-2 draw with Denmark on Friday - has remained with the squad despite suffering from gastroenteritis.
Meanwhile, Southampton forward Pablo Daniel Osvaldo is likely to once again start up front and will look to add to the goal he scored against Morten Olsen's outfit.
Italy are looking for a second qualification win over Armenia, after triumphing 3-1 in the away encounter in October 2012.
Goals from Andrea Pirlo, Daniele De Rossi and Osvaldo were enough for them to claim maximum points in Yerevan.

Televangelist Jim Bakker is a big fan of the work of End Times preacher Jonathan Cahn, even though last time Bakker became enthusiastic about a Cahn doomsday prophecy, he ended up making a long list of predictions that didn't come true. When the two chatted on Bakker's show last week, they declared that President Obama's support for LGBT rights and the legalization of same-sex marriage nationwide proves that America has learned nothing from the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and, as a result, God will open up the country to further judgment. "This was the... MORE

Last week, Jim Bakker hosted Michael Snyder, the author of a blog on preparing for "the coming of the economic collapse and the next great depression," to discuss a series of events that the two believe will trigger the unraveling of America. One such apocalyptic event, according to Snyder, would be the election of Hillary Clinton, whom he compared to Jezebel, the biblical figure who killed prophets who refused to commit apostasy, and her daughter, the murderous, Baal-worshiping Athalia. But unlike the ancient Israelites who didn't have much choice in their leaders, Snyder... MORE

Carl Gallups, a far-right pastor who has been embraced by Donald Trump's presidential campaign, spoke with Charlottesville, Virginia, radio host Rob Schilling on Friday about the Obama administration's recent directive on transgender rights in public schools, which he said was the sign of the impending End Times and a possible clue about something wrong in Obama's "personal life." "For years I've been saying, 'Look, look, we're living in very prophetic times,'" Gallups said. "Israel is back in the land, Russia and China... MORE

On Saturday, End Times preacher Anne Graham Lotz once again spoke with Jan Markell of Olive Tree Ministries about what she sees as signs of the Last Days, narrowing it down to three principal signs: the legalization of abortion rights and same-sex marriage and America's supposed "abandonment of Israel." "As our culture and our country implode and we seem to be morally and spiritually bankrupt in so many ways and there's anarchy in our streets and there's apathy in the church and arrogance in our leaders, it's stunning how fast we have imploded,...

Televangelist Jim Bakker offered yet another extremely vague prophecy while pitching his survival food buckets last week, telling viewers to purchase his $100 "30-Day Fiesta bucket" because God told him that "major events" will occur at some point in the future. After recounting the Mexican food items in the Fiesta Bucket, which he says "passes the official Mexican test" and "is Mexican food that real-life Mexicans approve of," Bakker told viewers, "I believe there's going to be some events take place."

Unhinged conspiracy theorist and End-Times prophet Rick Wiles scored an interview on Tuesday with David Daleiden, the anti-abortion activist who created last year's series of videos that baselessly claimed that Planned Parenthood sells "baby parts" for profit. After his conversation with Daleiden, Wiles naturally concluded that God will destroy America as punishment for Planned Parenthood's "human sacrifice" to Lucifer. "There are certain issues in this country that the establishment will go to war to defend," Wiles told his cohost Doc... MORE

Last year, televangelist Jim Bakker prophesied that all sorts of bad things might happen on September 13 of that year, including typhoons, earthquakes, bombings, a financial collapse and/or an unspecified incident involving Pope Francis. Since none of those prophesies ended up coming true, Bakker has now started making much vaguer predictions, including one he delivered this week while pitching his famous food buckets. "I believe it's time to hear from God and God has been speaking to me," he said. "I walked out of my garage yesterday and as I'm walking and... MORE

MOSCOW — Russian investigators searched the apartments of several protest leaders and ordered them to come in for questioning, making it difficult if not impossible for them to lead a mass demonstration Tuesday against President Vladimir Putin on a key Russian holiday.
The sudden escalation in pressure on the opposition came as tensions already were running high.
Putin has taken a harder line against the opposition since returning to the presidency in May, seemingly no longer willing to tolerate the peaceful protests that drew tens of thousands onto the streets of Moscow ahead of the March election that handed him a third term.
A measure Putin signed into law on Friday raises fines against those who take part in unauthorized protests 150-fold, to nearly the average annual salary in Russia. Tuesday's protest has city approval, but any actions that violate the allowed location and time could give police a pretext to make arrests.
The top Twitter hashtag in Russia on Monday was "Welcome to the Year '37," a reference to the height of the purges under Soviet dictator Josef Stalin.
Opposition activists predict the government crackdown on dissent and the anger it has fueled will bring out more protesters on Tuesday, a patriotic holiday called Russia Day. The June 12 holiday marks the day in 1990 when Russian lawmakers declared independence from the Soviet Union by giving supremacy to Russian laws over Soviet legislation.
The Kremlin, however, appears to be betting that the new tough measures will frighten away the young white-collar professionals whose new political activism has posed the first serious challenge to Putin since he came to power in 2000.
A spokesman for the investigators, Vladimir Markin, confirmed that the apartments searched Monday included those of activists Alexei Navalny, Sergei Udaltsov, Ilya Yashin and also of television personality Ksenia Sobchak, whose father was Putin's mentor.
Udaltsov said on Twitter that investigators had turned his apartment upside down and taken away computers, sacks of papers and the flags of his leftist movement. Navalny tweeted the arrival of the investigators, but later went silent as the search stretched more than 10 hours. His spokeswoman Anna Veduta, who said he called her from his home phone, tweeted that investigators had seized his cellphones, tablet and computer.
The homes of Udaltsov's parents and Navalny's parents and in-laws also were searched, the opposition leaders said.
Markin said that investigators, working with city police, also planned to search the apartment of veteran opposition leader Boris Nemtsov.
The spokesman said all of the opposition leaders subject to searches had been summoned for questioning on Tuesday as part of an investigation into the last big opposition on May 6, the day before Putin's inauguration, which turned violent after police restricted access to the square where the rally was to be held. Bottles and pieces of asphalt were hurled at police, who struck back by beating protesters with truncheons and detaining more than 400.
A lawyer representing the opposition, Nikolai Polozov, said it was possible that the protest leaders could find themselves under arrest, the Interfax news agency reported.
They were summoned for questioning at 11 a.m., just an hour before protesters were to begin gathering on Pushkin Square. The protesters were then to march along the boulevard that circles central Moscow toward Sakharov Avenue, where a rally was to be held from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.
If the demonstration ends peacefully and as planned, police should have no cause to intervene. But if some of the protesters were to set off on a new march, as some have suggested they may do if the opposition leaders are still being held for questioning, police would have the right to make arrests and the penalties would be harsh.
The opposition also warned of the dangers of provocations by pro-Kremlin forces hoping to set off clashes between protesters and police.

Topic: General Botany, Wildflowers
Title: Blooms as far as the eye can see
Answered by: Damon Waitt
QUESTION:Why are some wildflowers capable of putting on spectacular sweeps of blooms "for as far as the eye can see" such as Indian paintbrush at Vail Pass in Colorado, or bluebonnets in the Texas hill country, poppies in California, etc., while others are more singular, harder to find in any kind of numbers, such as sego or mariposa lilies, orchids, shooting stars, etc.?
Ahhhhh....Mr. Smarty Plants loves these "why is the sky blue" type questions especially those that have to do with plant reproduction and evolution. So here goes. Most of the big bloomers are annual plants and their strategy is to germinate, grow, bloom synchronously, reproduce, produce many seeds, then die in a one year span. That strategy has evolved over millennia and it requires large number of individuals participating to be effective. If only a handful of annuals participated, there is a good chance they wouldn't "find" each other to breed and the population would go kaput.
Now, let's compare that to perennials. Because they live multiple years, they have multiple opportunities to reproduce and can invest more time and resources in growing vegetatively. Large numbers are not required for reproduction since a missed opportunity in one year could be made up in the next year. Compared to annuals, they have a much higher expectation of future life.
Of course, there are other reasons plants might be rare including loss of pollinators, seed dispersers, habitat destruction, etc. There are also other reasons plants can be more common including human intervention, favorable environmental conditions, invasive, etc.

Parents or a legal guardian traveling with children under 18 years must present the child's birth certificate and an identity card with photo (passport, for example) at the check-in. For international travels from Brazil, if just one of the parents is traveling with the child, she/he must present – in addition to the child's certificate of birth and identity card with photo – a letter authorizing the trip signed by the other parent with a notarial certification of signature. In case the parents or the legal guardian, as applicable, cannot or are unwilling to give this authorization, a judicial authorization is required. People who intend to travel to Brazil with children must consult with the Brazilian consulate before traveling for more information.
Reservations are required for massage services and spa treatments and can be made by contacting the property before arrival at the number on the booking confirmation.

Outstanding 4.6 /5 from 360 reviews
One of my top five stays at a hotel and quite possibly the best. I spend about 30+ nights a year in hotels and Sao Paulo Hilton was excellent
I was in town for business conference and this was outstanding! They really go out of their way to make you feel at home!
If you are inclined to adventure out, the neighborhood is quite and clean and has the occasional club. If you wish to stay in th hotel, there is everything your could possible need, from food to shopping. Perfect!
Hotel is a great selection. Location, restaurant/bar are top notch. Lovely art all over the hotel. My only observation is that the Executive Lounge is not what it used to be. Found table left dirty and little variety for snacks and drinks. Not worth the additional cost.
Rate is fair and according to the Hotel's Grade. Additional services are extremely expensive (e.g. internet access ~ 30 USD per day, breakfest ~ 25 USD per person).
