At the start of 3rd over, Chris Gayle was batting on 8 off six balls. Prashanth Parameswaran, who on debut last week, had won the man of the match award for his two wickets, is the bowler. What happened next is unlikely to be topped even in book cricket - the ultimate result was an IPL record wherein he scored 37 runs off 7 balls:
2.1, SIX; Parameswaran lands the ball on a good length outside off, Gayle makes room and opens the bat face to send the ball flying over point.
2.2, no ball, SIX; The bowler delivers further outside off. It unfortunately still remains in Gayle's swing arc and flies away once again over the point boundary. More misery for the bowler follows when a no ball is called for overstepping.
2.2, FOUR; The free hit delivery is slightly short. It disappears through midwicket but only along the ground.
2.3, FOUR; Parameswaran corrects his length bowling a back of good length delivery outside off. Gayle simply punches it between cover and extra cover.

2.4, SIX; The bowling is predictable now. With five fielders on the off side circle, Parameswaran pitches the delivery once more outside off. Gayle, equally predictably, hits another maximum, clearing the mid-off boundary by a distance this time.
2.5, SIX; Gayle goes down the ground over the bowlers head, and the sight screen for a massive 91-metre blow.
2.6, FOUR; The Jamaican makes room for another big hit but only gets an inside edge. In an over where nothing has gone right for Parameswaran, the edge runs past fine leg for four runs.

Senior Andrew Reeves will make his second start of the season against UNO on Wednesday
April 29, 2013
NEW ORLEANS - For the last time during the regular season, the Tulane Green Wave baseball program will play back-to-back midweek games, as they will welcome the Southeastern Louisiana Lions to Greer Field at Turchin Stadium on Tuesday night, while the New Orleans Privateers make a stop on the Uptown campus on Wednesday.
Tuesday's contest against Southeastern Louisiana will start at 6:30pm CT, and it can be heard on 88.3 FM. The Wednesday tilt against UNO will begin at 5pm CT and will be broadcast on 106.1 The Ticket.
Tulane is returning from a four-game road swing in which they were defeated by the nationally ranked LSU Tigers last Wednesday before going to Charleston, W. Va., to play Marshall in a three-game Conference USA series. After dropping the opening game in that series, the two teams squared off in a doubleheader on Saturday, with Tulane sweeping the twin bill for the first Conference USA doubleheader sweep for them since accomplishing the feat against ECU in 2008. With the two wins, Tulane pulled their record back up to .500 at 22-22, and are in a sixth-place tie with Houston - this weekend's foe - at 7-8 in the conference standings.
The Lions are 28-17 on the year after defeating Texas A&M - Corpus Christi twice in three games over the weekend. They, too, played a doubleheader on Saturday, but split the games. The week prior to that, they lost to Louisiana-Lafayette by a score of 6-3.
UNO went 1-1 against LSU-Alexandria last weekend after losing seven straight to the likes of Jackson State, Oklahoma, Southeastern Louisiana and the Green Wave. On the year, the Privateers are 7-39.
Tulane has played both midweek opponents three times this year, and leads both series 2-1. When Tulane last defeated UNO on April 17, they won the First NBC Cup that is awarded to the annual winner of the series between the Green Wave and the Privateers.
On Tuesday, the Greenies will send righty redshirt sophomore Randy LeBlanc to the mound for his fourth straight midweek start. LeBlanc pitched very well against LSU last week in a losing effort, allowing only four hits over 5.1 innings. Prior to that, he earned back-to-back Tuesday victories over in-state rivals Louisiana-Lafayette and Louisiana-Monroe. On the season, the Abita Springs, La., is 2-3 with a 5.73 ERA in 37.2 innings. He has allowed 36 hits while striking out 19.
Southeastern Louisiana will send a familiar face to the mound, as lefty Kyle Cedotal will start his third game against the Green Wave this year. During his last start against Tulane on March 12 between in Hammond, La., Cedotal went 3.0 innings striking out three and allowing five hits in a no decision during the Lions 7-4 victory. The freshman is 4-4 with a 5.11 ERA in 37 innings this year.
Wednesday will see another start for senior Andrew Reeves, who made his season debut against New Orleans on April 17. On that date, Reeves earned his first win on the campaign after pitching a controlled start of 3.0 innings, striking out three and allowing no hits. Last Wednesday, he allowed two hits in the loss against LSU during his only other outing on the year.
The Privateers will send righty sophomore Alex Smith to the hill. Smith is arguably UNO's top arm, as he has the lowest ERA of any starter on the staff (4.14), while he is first on the team in wins with three and second on the team in strikeouts with 47. In 87.0 innings, he has allowed 82 hits and 27 walks.
The Green Wave bats woke up during the weekend series against Marshall, as they recorded nine hits in the first two contests before notching 12 during game two of the doubleheader. Junior Andrew Garner went on a tear last week, as he went 10-for-18 at the plate (.556) with four RBIs and three stolen bases during the last four games. Senior Brennan Middleton - who collected his 200th career hit against Marshall in game one of the doubleheader - still leads the team with a .298 average. His 54 hits in C-USA are the third most in the league.
Southeastern Louisiana is hitting .268 as a squad, and is led at the dish by Jameson Fisher and his .327 average. Fisher also leads the team with three home runs, but is only fourth on the squad with 22 RBIs. Harry Slade (30), Aaron Haag (29) and Ben Hernandez (24) all have more RBIs, and Hernandez and Slade both hit over .300, with respective batting averages of .315 and .305. Slade leads the squad with 10 stolen bases.
UNO's Zach Liberto is their top hitter, as he is hitting at a clip of .279. Jonathan Coco, Reese Kanter and Chaz Boyer are all tied for the team lead in home runs with two each. Zacary Hawkins is the pace setter in the RBI category with 21. As a squad, the Privateers are hitting .229.
After the two midweek games, the Greenies will host C-USA rival Houston at Greer Field at Turchin Stadium on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Following a first and second place finish in the first two tournaments of the fall, the University of Arizona women's golf team is ranked No. 2 in the country, according to the latest edition of the MasterCard Collegiate Golf Rankings. The Wildcats were ranked second in the first poll of the year as well, while Duke remains No. 1 in the country.
Individually, Arizona senior Jenna Daniels is ranked second, trailing only Arizona State's Miriam Nagl, who is No.1. In the first two tournaments of the season, Daniels tied for third at the NCAA Preview and was the runner-up at the Dick McGuire Invitational. Arizona has two other golfers ranked among the top-25, as sophomore Cristina Baena is No. 11 and senior Jill Gomric is No. 18.
The University of Arizona men's golf team is ranked No. 21 in the MasterCard Collegiate Golf Rankings. This comes on the heels of a second place finish in the fall's first tournament The Ridges Intercollegiate -- and an eighth place performance at last week's W.H. Tucker Intercollegiate. Arizona began the season unranked and there were no UA individuals included in the top-25.
The Arizona women return to action on Oct. 23-25, at the Stanford/Pepsi Invitational, while the men play on Oct. 11-12, at the Red River Classic in Dallas, Texas.

Downtown Shelburne, looking south
|This historic photo has no date, but probably dates to the early twentieth century, when the automobile first began to appear in Shelburne. The "Socony Gasoline" sign on the brick store stands in contrast to the hitching posts still in use for many more years. The Pierson library building, built between 1816 and 1837, is visible behind the trees.
The junction of Rt. 7, Harbor Rd, and Falls Rd has undergone several changes over time. In this historic view, Falls Rd branches off to the left with no divider or median, while in modern times the road junction has been narrowed and straightened to make a true crossroads that is safer for auto traffic. The dirt roads of the past have been replaced by wider paved roads.

ZL9HR - Campbell Island New Zealand DXpedition 2012 Official Writeup (ZL9HR Logos and ZL9HR Photos are copyright of the Hellenic Amateur Radio Association of Australia and may not be used without permission of HARAOA). The planning by the Hellenic Amateur Radio Association of Australia for the DXpedition to Campbell Island, New Zealand (OC-037), scheduled for November 28th to December 9th 2012, began in early 2012. ZL9 Campbell Island was last activated in January 1999 as ZL9CI lead by Ken Holdom ZL2HU and Lee Jennings ZL2AL. ZL9 is currently ranked number 13 on the DXpub most wanted survey (updated on January 8th 2013). ZL9HR Team Leader Tommy Horozakis VK2IR (HARAOA President) and Co-Leader John Chalkiarakis VK3YP (HARAOA Treasurer) began the long process of organising the necessary callsign licence, NZ Department of Conservation and NZ Bureau of Meteorology permits, the charter of the sailing vessel 'evohe', operating equipment, antennas and logistics. This was extremely time consuming taking many hundreds of hours of hard work including the assistance of the HARAOA club members with such activities as fund raising for the purchase of the Kenwood TS590S radios and SPE Amplifiers and the building of the shipping containers for the transport of the equipment to New Zealand. The long and careful planning and preparation paid off with a smooth and trouble free operation. The aim was to put together an international team of operators and thus a general invite for operators was posted on the Internet. The operators where accepted on a first come basis. While all the operators on ZL9 where very well skilled in radio operation a couple of the operators where not exactly team players during the DXpedition and would not follow the team leader's instructions. A lesson well learned and in future and we will conduct reference checks and vet our operators more carefully. We were delighted to have David EB7DX as the QSL Manager and webmaster for ZL9HR. David EB7DX was most recently the QSL Manager for the HARAOA VK9HR Lord Howe Island operation in 2011. The first major milestone was the approval of our landing permit by the NZ Department of Conservation in July 2012 followed by the shipment of our all equipment in 3 large containers via ocean freight to NZ which all arrived safely well ahead of schedule in October 2012. The entire team flew into Invercargill NZ arriving by Friday 23rd November, with the NZ Department of Conversation (NZ DoC) quarantine and briefing process being conducted over the weekend on Saturday and Sunday. The DoC required an inspection and quarantine of all our equipment and personal gear to insure that no foreign seeds, plant matter, insects, or rodents were inadvertently carried to the island and introduced into the recovering eco-system. All gear was unpacked from the shipping crates during the inspection process. Individual containers, boxes, radio cases, and plastic tubs were opened for inspection by the DoC staff, and then once inspected were re-packaged and sealed by use of plastic tubs or large plastic bags. There is a very good reason why this careful quarantine process is necessary - In June 2001 a team of 19 people including pilots, eradication experts and staff who had spent several years working on the island, headed south to Campbell Island. They took with them everything they would need for three months on the island, this being the time estimated that it could take to get the weather required to spread the rat bait. It ended up being a relatively mild winter, by Campbell Island standards, and the drop was completed in just less than one month, with no injuries or major incidents. In total, 120 tonnes of cereal rat bait, containing the anticoagulant toxin Brodifacoum, were spread across the island using four helicopters (three spreading bait and one ferrying the bait up to selected loading sites). By the time the project was completed it had involved DOC staff and contractors, the Royal New Zealand Navy, the Royal New Zealand Air Force, the Met Service, four helicopter companies, two shipping companies and numerous other people and agencies who provided their time and expertise and an approx. cost of $2 Million dollars to make Campbell Island rat free. In 2005, after several checks including using specially trained dogs, Campbell Island was declared rat free. This has been the largest successful rat eradication conducted worldwide. On November 26, the team left for Campbell Island from the port city of Bluff NZ which is a 35 minute drive from Invercargill NZ. The 25 meter long expedition yacht 'evohe' was the vessel chartered for this trip. Prior to leaving the wharf at Bluff NZ, the 'Evohe' Captain Steven Kafka was receiving the latest updates of the weather and sea conditions between Bluff and Campbell Island. It was determined that with conditions of 80 km/h plus winds, and nine to eleven meter high seas, we would travel no further than Stewart Island and weather the storm in the safety of a large embayment named Port Adventure. This was a very wise decision by the Captain of 'evohe' as any injuries sustained in attempting such a rough voyage would have resulted in us sailing back to Bluff NZ and the DXpedition being cancelled. After approximately two and half days, we were again sailing towards Campbell Island. Captain Steven Kafka warned us that the seas were still very rough and that we could expect a very bumpy ride while sailing through the remnants of the major storm. The swells were expected to be quite severe, with the worst being five to six meters. It was a rough trip and a reasonable amounts of buckets where used. On the morning of November 30th, dropping anchor at Perseverance Harbour, Campbell Island the MET station buildings at Beeman Hill came into view. It was at this point that we had finally arrived at Campbell Island and all that was left to do was setup and start operating. Not wasting any time we had a quick breakfast and the first team was dispatched on the zodiac inflatable boat along with the first of many batches of equipment safely landing on Campbell Island. The crew of the Evohe was an immense help in assisting us with the setup (and pack up) of all the equipment and antennas. Without the 'Evohe' crews valuable assistance we would have spent less hours operating. The first couple of stations along with many antennas where up and running by the afternoon, the following day we setup the remaining stations and antennas. Since we had lost three days of operation with the weather delays travelling to Campbell Island it was decided that we would not setup the 40M Moxon and rely only on the 40M Vertical (which worked very well) and in addition the 6M station would not be setup. We had a total of six stations comprising of 3 SSB and 3 CW stations. There was 4 Kenwood TS590S with 4 SPE 1K Amplifiers and 2 Elecraft K3's with Elecraft KPA500 amplifiers. The 2 Electraft K3's and 1 Kenwood TS590S where used for the CW stations. The SSB and CW operations each had their designated location inside the MET main building, with the SSB stations located in the old recreation room of the MET building, and the CW stations located in the dining area of the kitchen. There was a very nice pool table in the main recreation room of the MET building but unfortunately the pool table cover was not removed and not a single game was played as we were all busy operating, eating or sleeping. All of our equipment worked flawlessly without any problems. Our antennas all worked very well with strong performance all round. To counteract any potential problems we had taken with us spares of just about everything including two spare generators. Fortunately none of the spares where required. After our first day of operating the logs where uploaded via Inmarsat satellite terminal to our QSL manager and placed on ZL9HR and Clublog websites. Understandably, ZL9 is a very rare activation and with this the DX Code of Conduct seems to be ignored by many - The behaviour in the pileups was not the best especially from the EU and surprisingly the JA operators with the North American operators best behaved overall. The ZL9HR DXpedition team of Tommy VK2IR, John VK3YP, Les W2LK, Dave K3EL, Don VE7DS, Glenn KE4KY, John 9M6XRO, Gene K5GS, Pista HA5AO and Jacky ZL3CW realised 42,922 contacts during an eight (8) day operating period. All QSL ing for this DXpedition is via David EB7DX. This DXpedition to ZL9 Campbell Island will most likely be the last as the old MET buildings contain asbestos and are deteriorating and with no tent operation being allowed due to the many sea lions on the island. To all the ZL9HR team and most importantly to the NZ Department of Conservation, the Captain and crew of the Evohe, corporate, DX foundation sponsors and individual sponsors we thank you for your support of the HARAOA team to deliver another successful DXpedition. Stay tuned for another HARAOA DXpedition soon.

ZL9HR Finances
In relation to certain posts on the Internet from ZL9HR team members demanding that HARAOA pay them any surplus money from donation funds.
There was never any agreement made between HARAOA and the team members to provide any surplus donation funds to them.
The topic of donation funds, providing a financial statement, selling equipment purchased etc. was never raised by the team members in the months before the DXpedition started.
This was only raised by the team members once the DXpedition was almost completed.
HARAOA has fulfilled it's obligations to all our sponsors donation requirements.
None of our sponsorship requirements mention anything around providing the financials of the DXpedition or surplus funds to be paid to team members.
In absence of any prior agreement the team members are trying to discredit HARAOA and the successful ZL9HR operation to get their own way. Using their own words "pressure us to change our decision".
Tommy VK2IR and John VK3YP
ZL9HR Team Leaders and organisers.

Update they are still at Stewart Island the weather is still bad the waves are 11 meters high they will be leaving tomorrow morning 29th of November for Campbell Island and hope to be there.
Saturday morning and start operating late that day. We talked to them on 20m 14.285 during the Greek net, they are using the ships radio to communicate in the Ham bands this evening they are on 40m 7.130 DX net .
Monday, November 26 2012
The ZL9HR operation will be delayed due to bad weather in the southern ocean. We're at anchor south of Stewart Island waiting for the weather to clear. We expect to arrive at Campbell Island on Friday, but the weather will dictate the schedule. Everyone is in good spirits awaiting departure. 73, ZL9HR team
Sunday, November 25 2012
Invercargill, New Zealand
The ZL9HR team has arrived and is prepared to depart on Monday morning. The team was warmly greeted by the local ZL hams who hosted lunch and dinners along the way.
The NZ Department of Conservation (DoC) briefings and quarantine inspection processes began with the transfer of all the equipment to the inspection / quarantine station. The bulk of our equipment was inspected on Saturday morning, all passed with no exceptions. DoC management said everything was in good order. A process that normally takes all day was completed in less than 3 hours even though items were repackaged in plastic bags / wrapped in plastic sheets, or placed in bins. Cardboard is not permitted on the island so new items like antennas were repackaged. The team then went off to fill the 55 petrol containers and return them to our transport vendor, Lindsey Carrying.
Invercargill weather has been unusually warm and even sunny on some days, with rain on others. Weather reports on Campbell Island show temperatures ranging between 6c and 9c (43f – 48f) with winds up to 45 km/h (27 mph). Rain is in the forecast for each day for the forecast period; all not unexpected. The boat returned from Auckland Island 2 days ago where a team was conducting an inventory of penguins.
Today we're doing last minute shopping for items missed or misplaced and will buy snacks and other goodies not supplied in our contract with the boat.
We are all excited about the departure planned for mid day Monday, Nov. 26th. Once underway there will be no Internet access. On the island we will communicate with the designated Pilot stations and upload load photos via satellite phone. We will not be reading blogs, reflectors or personal e-mail. If you have suggestions or complaints please e-mail your region's designated Pilot station.
Good luck, we'll see you in the pile-ups!

Thanks for your interest in ZL9HR Campbell Island DX-pedition.
Everything is on schedule; the team is excited and ready to begin their journey to New Zealand. Team members will begin arriving in Invercargill, NZ on November 22.
The majority of our equipment arrived at a storage facility in Invercargill on Oct 18.
Current Schedule:
November 23 - the equipment will be taken to the NZ Department of Conservation (DoC) Quarantine Inspection station.
November 24 - everything will be unpacked and inspected; including personal items, once inspected everything will remain at the station until departure.
November 25 - the team returns to the inspection station for DoC briefings on: safety, landing permit conditions and working around the islands wildlife.
November 26 - the team again returns to the DoC inspection station for inspection of personal items not processed on Nov. 24.
- Equipment will be trucked to Bluff, NZ and loaded aboard the boat for departure, currently scheduled at approximately 12:00 (local).
- Several local hams have offered to assist with loading the boat.
With good weather we estimate the voyage will take 40 hours, arriving at Perseverance Harbor sometime between midnight and 06:00 (local) on November 28.
During the DX-pedition daily traffic with the team will be handled by the designated Pilot stations. We ask the DX community to direct their compliments / suggestions / concerns to the Pilots who will summarize and forward to us via e-mail. We plan to upload photos and logs on a daily basis. The Pilots are listed on the Team page of our web site www.campbell2012.com
Team member Dave, K3EL, updated his ZL9HR blog on Oct. 21 http://k3el.wordpress.com/
Initially we had a band / mode survey page on the web site; due to some Internet pranksters the survey was removed. However, we did collect enough data to get a view of needed bands / modes.
In closing we want to again thank the corporate sponsors, clubs, foundations and individuals who have provided products and funding to make the activation of Campbell Island a reality after a long radio silence.
That's it for now; safe travels to the ZL9HR team as they begin their journey.
Our next update will be in November from New Zealand.
The ZL9HR team
Monday, 1 October 2012
Thanks for your continued interest in ZL9HR Campbell Island DX-pedition.
We're making great progress during the planning and preparation
phases. The Hellenic Amateur Radio Association of Australia
members and the local ham community have pitched in to make this
DX-pedition a reality.
Our current status:
6 Meters:
We received approval for use of 50 - 51 MHZ. Some areas in New
Zealand use 50 MHZ for television transmission; therefore it is not
an Amateur allocation. Since Campbell Island is uninhabited we
received a waiver from the NZ authorities to use those frequencies.
Additional Corporate Sponsors signed on since last update:
- Elecraft
- Rojone Pty Ltd
- Amateur Radio Supplies
- OptiBeam
DX Foundation, Club and Individual Sponsors:
The list continues to grow. Please see the web page for the most
current list of supporters
Our equipment is on the way to New Zealand. The gear was packed in
motorcycle crates and prepared for sea shipment from Sydney, Australia to
Christchurch, New Zealand. Once through NZ Customs they will be
trucked to Invercargill, New Zealand and placed in a storage
facility, arrival at the storage facility is scheduled for Oct.
11th. A customs carnet bond was posted to get the equipment into New
Zealand. In order to reclaim the bond we must remove the equipment from
Zealand upon completion of the DX-pedition.
Quarantine Inspection:
Before any person or equipment lands on Campbell Island an
inspection of all personal items and equipment will be conducted by
the NZ Department of Conservation. Our gear will be unpacked at the
inspection station in Invercargill, NZ on Nov. 24, 2012. Special attention
is placed on items which may contain soil, rocks, stones, insects or
other organic material. Boots and shoes must be scrubbed to remove
any accumulated soil. Since the boat is used by the DoC for their
expeditions, we are comfortable the boat is prepared for its inspection.
Island Logistics
1. As you may have seen with other DX-peditions to remote /
uninhabited locations once on the island accommodations must be made
for meals and sanitary considerations. Fortunately, the New Zealand
Department of Conservation has allowed us to use several buildings
and the toilet facilities in one of their buildings. These buildings
were part of the weather station that once operated at Beeman Cove;
they have been kept in good repair over the years since. Again, we
appreciate NZ DOC and NZ MET Dept. for their cooperation and assistance to
the ZL9HR team.
Sleeping accommodations will be on the boat, the team will shuttle
back and forth from the island.
2. Since the weather will be cold and wet we'll wear layers and
waterproof foul weather clothing.
3. We'll bring food, snacks, a medical kit, and other emergency
supplies in the event we can't get back to the boat due to weather
4. No trash is permitted to remain on the island; we'll be carting
all refuse back to the boat for proper disposal. The boat is not
permitted to empty its sanitary storage tanks while anchored in
Perseverance Harbor so the skipper will occasionally take the boat
out to sea to empty the tanks.
5. There's been recent Internet chatter about our antennas and
their placement. Under the conditions of the landing permit antennas
are permitted only in DoC designated spaces, all antennas must be
inland. No antennas are allowed in or near the water, nor are we
allowed to walk along the shoreline. While there are some optimum
antenna locations on the island they are off limits to the team.
Well use vertical antennas for the Low Bands, and weather
permitting, a 40 meter beam will be placed on a hill with a drop off
towards the sea.
6. We've been advised there may be 2 scientific expeditions on the
island while we are operating. The DoC does not anticipate any
interaction between the DX-pedition team and the participants of
these expeditions.
7. ZL9HR team member Dave Lloyd, K3EL, prepared some information
about our antenna placement and propagation. You may read his articles at:
8. As previously mentioned, we are governed by the conditions of
the NZ DoC issued landing permit, some of those conditions are:
a. Specified number of DX-pedition operating days
b. Antenna field designated by the DoC
c. Other than use of the boat ramp, no access to the shoreline
d. Team members restricted to island locations indicated on the permit
e. No overnight stays unless the weather prevents return to the boat
f. Second to personal safety is wildlife awareness and safety are
highest priorities
i. Antennas must be marked to avoid bird strikes and ground borne
wildlife may not be disturbed
g. Digging, trenching or other defacement / scaring of the land is
i. We are permitted to install guy stakes for the antenna support
Team members have made their bookings to and from New Zealand,
several will meet in Auckland before the DX-pedition, others will
meet in Dunedin and eventually we'll first meet as a team in
Invercargill, NZ on Nov. 23rd.
In closing, we want to thank our corporate sponsors, clubs,
foundations and individuals who have provided products and funding
to make the activation of Campbell Island a reality after a long radio
Next update in late October.
Tuesday, 21 August 2012
Thanks for your interest in the upcoming ZL9HR DX-pedition to Campbell Island.
At this writing we are on schedule and the project planning is well underway. The team is busily working on all aspects of the DX-pedition. As you may know, we have the landing permit in-hand and also the radio license / call sign.
Some examples of what's happening behind the curtain at the moment include:
- Station location (as defined by the permit)
- Antenna placement planning (as defined by the permit)
- Discussions on propagation behavior and how we will adjust for conditions
- Operator mode preference
- Equipment testing and preparation for sea shipment
- Contract finalization with the boat that will take us to Campbell Island
- Generator testing (state-of-the-art Yamaha machines) and their preparation for shipment
- Petrol estimates (for generators), procurement, and planning for sea transit
- Preparation and submission of the required DX Team Safety and Communications plans to the New Zealand Department of Conservation (DoC)
- Coordination of team arrival in NZ, hotels and local transportation to and from boat at Bluff, NZ
- A DoC requirement for landing on Campbell Island is each team member must have emergency medical evacuation insurance (purchased by the individual team members)
- Up-front payments and deposits
- Scheduled the quarantine inspection (All of our gear must be unpacked (then repacked) for inspection before departing NZ)
- We're beginning to receive donations from the major DX Foundations, DX Clubs and individuals from around the world.
With the individual operators funding the up-front cost of the DX-pedition and their personal travel / living and while in NZ we will continue to seek assistance from the global DX-community.
We appreciate the interest and support from the global amateur community and especially from the:
- Northern California DX Foundation;
- The American Radio Relay League's Colvin Award Committee;
- The German DX Foundation, and
- The Lone Star (Texas) DX Association
Each who have made significant contributions, and the other clubs and individuals who provided financial support.
Our major corporate sponsor, to date, is Spiderbeam.
Of course, the overall sponsor of this DX-pedition is the Hellenic Amateur Radio Association of Australia who is providing nearly all of the equipment that will be used on Campbell Island.
We'd be remiss if we didn't recognize the New Zealand Department of Conservation for their support of this DX-pedition. The DoC is permitting us to use several of the existing buildings which will provide shelter from the weather which we expect to be cool, windy and wet.
Our QSL policy, as described on the QSL Page, should satisfy the DX community:
- On-line uploads via satellite phone to ClubLog
- LoTW upload shortly after the DX-pedition
- LoTW confirmations at no charge for all contacts, no restrictions
- OQRS will be available at a reasonable donation to cover mailing expenses
- Direct QSLs with envelope $2USD, (1 IRC + 1 USD) or 1 Euro for all destinations
Buro cards to EB7DX at no charge
QSLing doesn't get any better than this!
Our goal is to give out as many All Time New Ones as humanly possible and to fill as many band slots as we can.
Thanks again for your interest and support. We'll update you again next month.

Campbell Island, a Sub-Antartica World Heritage Site
The New Zealand Sub-Antarctic Islands consist of five island groups (the Snares, Bounty Islands, Antipodes Islands, Auckland Islands and Campbell Island) in the Southern Ocean south-east of New Zealand. The islands, lying between the Antarctic and Subtropical Convergences and the seas, have a high level of productivity, biodiversity, wildlife population densities and endemism among birds, plants and invertebrates. They are particularly notable for the large number and diversity of pelagic seabirds and penguins that nest there. There are 126 bird species in total, including 40 seabirds of which five breed nowhere else in the world.
The New Zealand Sub-Antarctic Islands consist of five island groups located in the Pacific sector of the Southern Ocean off the south-eastern coast of New Zealand. Along with the Macquarie Island World Heritage site in Australia, the five islands form the only subantarctic island group in the region. The islands lie between latitudes of 47º and 52º south and include the Snares, Bounty Islands, Antipodes Islands, Auckland Islands and Campbell Islands. Total land area is 76,458 ha. The site includes a marine component extending 12 km from each island group.
The islands lie on the shallow continental shelf and three of the groups are eroded remnants of Pliocene volcanoes. Rivers are short with precipitous streams. The lakes are few and generally shallow and small. Quaternary glaciers have left shallow cirques, moraines and fjords on some islands. Cool equable temperatures, strong westerly winds, a few hours of sunshine and high humidity prevail.
With the exception of the Bounty Islands which have no higher plants, the remaining islands together with neighbouring Macquarie Island, constitute a Centre of Plant Diversity and have the richest flora of all the subantarctic islands. The Snares and two of the Auckland Islands are especially important in that their vegetation has not been modified by human or alien species. The terrestrial flora of the islands comprises 233 vascular plants of which 196 are New Zealand Sub-Antarctic Islands (New Zealand) indigenous, six endemic, and 30 are rare. Auckland Islands have the southernmost forests in the region, dominated by a species of myrtle. A particular floral feature of the islands is the 'megaherbs' that contribute to rich and colourful flower gardens.
As the islands lie between the Antarctic and Subtropical Convergences, the seas have a high level of productivity.
The Islands are particularly notable for the huge abundance and diversity of pelagic seabirds and penguins that nest there. There are 120 bird species in total, including 40 seabirds of which five breed nowhere else. The islands support major populations of 10 of the world's 24 species of albatross. Almost 6 million sooty shearwaters nest on Snares Island alone. There are also a large number of threatened endemic land birds including one of the world's rarest ducks. 95% of the world's population of New Zealand sea lion (formerly known as Hooker's sea lion) breed here and there is a critical breeding site for the southern right whale. A number of endemic invertebrates also occur.

ZL9HR - Campbell Island New Zealand DXpedition 2012
The Hellenic Amateur Radio of Association of Australia (HARAOA) is organising a DXpedition to ZL9 Campbell Island (OC-037) New Zealand between November 28th and December 9th 2012.
ZL9 Campbell Island NZ is Number 15 on the current DXCC most wanted list.
The ZL9HR DXpedition team will consist of a total of ten (10) team members.
More details and information including the official website will be available soon.
Tommy Horozakis VK2IR (Team Leader)
John Chalkiarakis VK3YP (Team Co-Leader)
Geographical Information:
52º 33'S, 169º 09'E, in the South Pacific Ocean, 700 km south of New Zealand
Area: 11 331 ha
Maximum Altitude: 567 m Mt Honey
The group consists of Campbell Island, with a number of off lying islets and rocks (principally Jacquemart Island, Dent Island, and Isle de Jeanette Marie.
Campbell Island has an irregular shape, 16km by 16km, with an area 11 268 ha. Steep cliffs dominate the western shores, while the east coast is broken by several large inlets. Terrain is hilly, with deep gullies and numerous streams.
Campbell Island is a remnant of a dissected volcanic dome. Marine erosion has removed most of the western section, and the east coast has fiord-like inlets by the 'drowning' of the lower reaches of the radial valleys. The Island was glaciated in the Pleistocene. The oldest basement rocks are schist, 640 MYr, overlain with a series of standstone, conglomerate, mudstone, limestone, marine deposits of volcanic sediments and volcanic flows dating from the late Miocene. Peat soils are well developed.

"Lethal Weapon 4"
"Lethal Weapon Collection " Soundtrack Review
Music By Michael Kamen,
Eric Clapton & David Sanborn
La-La Land Records
Disc 1: 21 Tracks/Disc Time: 51:50
Disc 2: 15 Tracks/Disc Time: 48:30
Total Time: 100:20 Grade: B-
After the successes of the original "Lethal Weapon" trilogy (1987-1992) which was a worldwide success and one the best selling home videos by Warner Bros. throughout the 1990's and with the advent of DVD making its' debut in 1997, it was yet one more turn to dig into the cash cow that made studio a fortune. After years of trying to get what would become the final film of the series off the ground, "Lethal Weapon 4" finally arrived during the Summer of 1998 with no less than than four writers attached including the future creators of the hit series "Smallville" and a television writer in Channing Gibson (no relation to star Mel Gibson) in which was not finished, the characters of Joe Pesci's Leo Getz and Chris Rock's Detective Lee Butters were shoehorned into the script at the last minute and the ending finally figured out during filming. The result was a critical misfire in everybody's view and easily the weakest film of the series and the least successful. The film features the final on screen pairing of Riggs and Murtaugh (Mel Gibson and Danny Glover) who face a variety of issues which includes Riggs' commitment to Lorna (Rene Russo) and their impending pregnancy, Murtuagh's financial issues which come as a surprise along with another surprise when his daughter Rianne (Traci Wolfe) is also preganant and not to mentioned married to LAPD detective Lee Butters (Chris Rock, "Grown Ups). Murtaugh develops a soft spot for a Chinese family that they discover during an illegal human smuggling ring that he tries to protect and soon he and Riggs end up embroiled in a conspiracy involving counterfeit money and the Chinese Triads led by Riggs' ultimate match yet in Ku (martial arts superstar Jet Li, in his American debut "The Expendables"). Now hampered by age and the safety of their loved ones, Riggs and Murtaugh now have to rely on themselves and both Leo Getz (Joe Pesci, "Goodfellas") and Butters to stop Ku from eliminating the head of the Chinese Triads including Uncle Benny (Kim Chan) and taking over the business.
While the film was overlong and meandered rather badly in nostalgia that really didn't work, Jet Li was the film's saving grace along with the great return of the late Michael Kamen along with Eric Clapton and David Sanborn for their last hurrah in returning to score a "Lethal Weapon". After securing an incredible amount of work in the early to mid 90's, Kamen was soon diagnosed with Multiple Sclorosis which really affected his once favorable work load and would ultimately be lost to the musical world a few years later sadly. Kamen had been laboring on another Warner Bros. project in the big screen adaptation of British television series, "The Avengers" without any success and left that project instantly when it came to score this film. The tone of the score pretty much is in keeping with the series which features the familiar themes along with two new themes. One is Chris Rock's character which he assigns a harmonica motif to and the obvious one is that of Jet Li's character which Kamen integrates Chinese instrumentation/orchestration that consists of heavy, aggressive percussion.
Kamen starts up with the familiar material for Riggs, Murtaugh and Leo with "Don't Turn/Cute Shorts", and "Leo's Shark/Boys On Boat" that is given a more modern update in orchestration along with warm sentimentality that just works so well and Kamen happily reincorporates this solid material in later tracks as such as "Marriage Talk", "Tequila", and the film's finale "Hospital/Babies", which is the happy send off to the score. Kamen also gives Butters' some neat material with harmonica solos and a hip syntheszier beat in "Butters' Intro", "Chinese Food", "Cell Phone" and "Holiday Talk" that fits neatly with the other established themes. Kamen really leans heavy on the action and suspense material for Jet Li's menacing Ku character pulling out all the stops in his trademark rhythmic action with highlights such as "Ku Attacks", "Freeway Chase", "Chinatown Chase", "Riggs On Table" and climatic rumbles of "Underwater Fight" and "Underwater Fight Continues" which features the somewhat bland finish to Riggs and Ku final confrontation which many were disappointed with in the demise of Li's character. While Kamen revisits the series most nostalgic material in the poignant "Locker Room", "Cemetary" and "Murtaugh To The Rescue" featuring his memorable themes for what would be the final time.
La-La Land's final piece of this outstanding collection is the premiere debut of the score which was originally intended to be released when the film was released on Warner Bros./Sunset Records, but didn't materialize for some reason. Here is the complete score that didn't come out in 1998 all 100 minutes worth which is very effective for what it is: one final swan song the a terrific series that suffered a major setback with having a proper ending. However, Michael Kamen did have a proper ending and it is not his fault the film was a failure overall, but his music doesn't quite have or match the energy of the first three entries of the series. There is good material to like here, but if really does feel a little uninspired at times which unfortunately goes along with the film. On its' own, it is alot better than many of today's scores and a very good score for its' time. Certainly alot better than alot of the other scores that materialized in 1998. "Lethal Weapon 4" is a very good send off for the series and one of last of the great scores that Michael Kamen ever wrote. Marginal Thumbs up!

`locate` is a command-line tool for local file search using a database.
locate is a command-line tool for local file search using a database. The database is a front compressed list of files, it is generated by
locate's companion,
It is a faster but less versatile alternative of find.
There are numerous
locate implementations, with mostly compatible base features:
- locate - from the GNU findutils
- mlocate - The 'm' stands for "merging": updatedb reuses the existing database to avoid rereading most of the file system, which makes updatedb faster and does not trash the system caches as much.
- rlocate - The behavior of rlocate is the same as slocate, but it also maintains a diff database that gets updated whenever a new file is created. This is accomplished with rlocate kernel module and daemon.
- slocate - Security Enhanced version of the GNU Locate (unmaintained, site down)
Some graphical frontends also exists:
- Catfish is a frontend for different search engines (daemons).
- KarambaLocate is a SuperKaramba widget, a sort of GUI for shell command locate.
- kio-locate - A KDE I/O Slave, enables to search from Konqueror.
- KwickFind - KDE Kommander script
- Zeloc - Zenity-Frontend for locate
- XLocate is an X Qt4 front-end to the standard Linux locate utilities.

After many days of rain the weather had temporarily cleared and I had to get out of the house. I did not have any preconceived ideas or plans about what to shoot.
To my surprise, and delight, I found my subject within a few yards of the back door. Trying to observe my environment afresh I also looked down, at what was under my feet, and there they were: lines. The multitude of lines painted on the road, curves created by the curb stones, lines created by different kinds of tarmac, shapes created by the drying of the surface. After that first shot I knew that there was a good series of pictures to be made and this book is the result.
I am a self taught photographer from the Netherlands, now living and working in the UK. At age twelve I was taught the basics of photography by my father and I have been taking photographs ever since. I want my images to tell a story and the best ones are those that can tell many stories. Some of them can be true, but they don't need to be. I want to invite the viewer to think about the images, wander into them, and make up their own narrative. As can be seen from my work I like symmetry, rythm and balance. With my images I try to surprise, engage the viewer and show beauty in places and subjects from around the world and where you might not expect it.
Comment posted.
michaelalvis says I enjoyed your preview. I enjoy photographing the street, too. You can see some of mine in my Japanese books on blurb.

The most recent stable release was 2.4.4 on Dec. 14, 2010. Cheetah has been stable, production quality, post-beta code since 2001. All new releases since then (40+) have been almost 100% backwards compatible. The 2.0 code itself has production ready since early 2006.
Google App Engine users should read this.
Here's the documentation on recent changes.
You can also get the current unreleased development version of Cheetah from our git repository.
Cheetah is included in FreeBSD and most major Linux distributions: Gentoo, Fedora, Debian, and Ubuntu among others.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO WINDOWS USERS: You should install the compiled version of Cheetah\'s NameMapper. It is dramatically faster than the pure Python version! Python 2.4: _namemapper.pyd2.4, Python 2.5: _namemapper.pyd2.5. Install it wherever your system puts Cheetah/NameMapper.py. Strip the version numbers off the filename.

C Spire announces it too will offer the Samsung Galaxy S III, with 4G LTE support
Earlier this month, the Samsung Galaxy S III was unveiled for five carriers in the US. The 'big four' (AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile) were all on the list, of course, as was the smaller US Cellular. And now we can add yet another carrier to that list: C Spire.
The company has just announced that it too plans to offer the Samsung Galaxy S III, complete with 4G LTE support even. Unfortunately, the carrier decided not to mention a release date or any pricing details at the moment. Those will be unveiled "in the coming weeks", whatever that may mean.
Samsung's big plan for the Galaxy S III includes 296 carriers worldwide. And you really can't get to that number by only offering your new flagship device to the big ones. So understandably, smaller/regional operations are getting in on the action too. Expect this to continue, by the way, not only in the US, but across the world. Of course, there's nothing wrong with this strategy. It helps get one of the best phones of the moment in the hands of as many people as possible.

Released: Jul 01st, 2003
Running Time: 76
Director: Big Man
Company: Fat Dog Productions
Cast: Queen Black Cat, Wesley Pipes, Maylani, John E Depth, Cunt Tree, Jordan (I), Others
Critical Rating: AA
Genre: All-Sex
Afro/ethnic filler.
This one loses major points for very excessive (and very noticeable) looping. It's a shame, too, because there are some great-looking Afro-babes and some not-too-shabby sex happening on this tape. But there's so much looping, in fact, that, without it, the tape would be about a third in length. There are four scenes.
The 'plot': John E. Depth is visiting Los Angeles for the first time - he's from back East, in D.C. - but his buddy (Wesley Pipes) forgot to meet him at the bus station. (Actually, Pipes is busy with Queen Black Cat, as we find out in the third scene.) Through a muddled and confusing turn of events, Depth gets hooked up with the pretty Maylani in a motel room, where he administers a very gentle and attentive pussy-licking. She soon returns the favor with a b.j. Later, he gives her a spirited fucking, never quite managing to get all his many inches inside.
Later, right before catching the bus for the return trip, Depth has a similar encounter with the busty, pouty Jordan.

Undefeated going into the second half of the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) season, Seattle Reign FC have proven that they are the team to beat. There's no denying it, the Reign are killing the NWSL this season. As one fan said to me recently, "The Reign are badass!" (meaning really good).
Being the inquisitive writer that I am, I thought I'd do some investigative reporting to find out just what makes the 2014 Seattle Reign FC so badass.
So, I called on my research partners, Jack Daniels and Flamin Hot Cheetos and we got to work discovering what makes Seattle Reign FC the most Badass team in the NWSL. And here's what we found…
#1 Badass Logo
Logos are like babies. If it's yours, you think it's the best looking logo in all of creation. But you have to admit that your team's logo has nothing on Seattle's Maleficent-looking queen glaring out from under her dark armor, lit only by a canopy of purple shadows pressing down hard on her badass face.
Someone give that graphic designer a round of applause please (we know payment is out of the question).
#2 Badass Boss
Remember the 2013 offseason? Reign general manager and head coach, Laura Harvey reinvented the Big Announcement. Every day, the former Arsenal Ladies boss sent Twitter into a social media meltdown with her 'Surprise Signings at noon PT.'
Harvey continually drove her tractor truck of announcements over other team's announcements (heck, she even leveled U.S. Soccer a few times). When the announcements got annoying and old, she did what any badass boss would do… she made another announcement.
#3 Badass Goalkeeper
Have you ever seen Hope Solo smile on gameday? No. Why? She's a badass. Oh sure, you may have your Erin McLeods and your Ashlyn Harris's and they are all badasses in their own right, but when it comes to stares that can make Voldemort curl into a fetal position, no one compares.
As someone who's been on the receiving end of the ice princess gameday glare, let me tell you – It's bad-effin-ass.
#4 Badass Bottle Products
If you live in the Pacific Northwest, you've probably noticed a shortage of peroxide from May to August. That's because Megan Rapinoe and Jess Fishlock are badasses about their hair. They've made it a point to keep their locks fresh, spiky and a color, as of yet, undefined. And by the way, they look nothing alike. Just ask Lori Lindsey.
#5 Badass Goal Scorer
If you remember, it was the Washington Spirit who had exclusive signing rights to Scottish international Kim Little at the beginning of the 2014 season. But the current goal-scoring leader would only come to the NWSL if she could play for her former Arsenal boss, Laura Harvey (see reason #2).
How does a player who's never played in the USA acquire so much pull? Hello? Badass.
#6 Badass Japanese Loaners
Laura Harvey, dialed up INAC Kobe Leonessa in Japan and invited two of their best players to join the Reign for the 2014 season and they've been nothing short of badass. California native Bev Goebel and Japanese international Naho Kawasumi have both made significant impacts for Seattle in 2014.
Women's World Cup 2011 champion Kawasumi is Seattle's premier corner taker and has a few great goals under her belt. Goebel currently leads the team and the league in assists and is usually the one drawing all the fouls. In fact, it's safe to say Bev is responsible for pretty much all of Kim Little's PK goals. When the NWSL season is over these two will be on the pitch in Japan. Udon-Badness!!
#7 Badass Bobby Brady Look-Alike
He might've been the youngest of the Brady boys, but we all know he was the badass brother. How about the time Bobby was appointed school safety monitor and wrote everyone up for minor infractions – Ok that wasn't badass, but it was when he wrote himself up for trespassing into an abandoned house to save a classmate's cat. BadASS.
The soccer-playing version is just as badass. How about the time in May when Seattle and FC Kansas City were locked in a 2-2 draw late in the game and Keelin head-butted a rocket into the net for the winning goal, sending over 3,000 fans throwing their fraps into the air! Now if only we can keep her from trying to mow the lawn. Its polysynthetic turf, Winters!!
#8 Badass Backline
Lauren Barnes, Steph Cox, Megan Brigman, Kate Deines, Kendall Fletcher, Amanda Frisbie, Kiersten Dallstream, Carm Moscato, Elli Reed. Mix and match; sub-in and sub-out. It doesn't really matter because any combo in this backfield works. This fortress of bad-ass has allowed only nine goals in 11 matches, including four clean sheets.
Oh and if needed, Fletcher is good for a goal or two.
#9 Badass Leroux
Last season, the Reign was missing a few things, but one thing in particular. That's right – a badass forward. So they dealt a winning hand and cashed in on a player dripping in badassness.
Sydney Leroux was born in Canada, raised in the USA and lives in her own realm. As the USWNT 2014 leading scorer, Leroux's value on any team cannot be measured. The only thing badder than Syd in Seattle is maybe Leroux in Los Angeles (come on, NWSL – give us a team!). And that leaves us with…
#10 Badass City
Jimi Hendrix, Heart, Nirvana, Amazon, Starbucks, Nordstrom, Cinnabon – I've never been there, but it's pretty clear that all good things come from Seattle. And by good I mean… say it with me… BADASS!

Méthot, N; Basler, K (2001). An absolute requirement for Cubitus interruptus in Hedgehog signaling. Development, 128(5):733-742.
Hedgehog (Hh) proteins play diverse organizing roles in animal development by regulating gene expression in responding cells. Several components of the Hh signal transduction pathway have been identified, yet their precise role in mediating the various outputs of the pathway is still poorly understood. The Gli homolog Cubitus interruptus (Ci) is involved in controlling the transcription of Drosophila Hh target genes and thus represents the most downstream component known in this pathway. We address the question of whether the Hh pathway is distally branched or, in other words, whether the regulation of Ci activity is the sole output of Hh signaling. Putative Ci-independent branches of Hh signaling are explored by analyzing the behavior of cells that lack Ci but have undergone maximal activation of the Hh transduction pathway due to the removal of Patched (Ptc). The analysis of target gene expression and morphogenetic read-outs of Hh in embryonic, larval and adult stages indicates that Ci is absolutely required for all examined aspects of Hh outputs. We interpret this as evidence against the existence of Ci-independent branches in the Hh signal transduction pathway and propose that most cases of apparent Ci/Gli-independent Hh output can be attributed to the derepression of target gene expression in the absence of Ci/Gli repressor function.

Road crews were busy Wednesday preparing for a blast from Old Man Winter.
Potter County Road Superintendent Wayne Cowart said his crews are ready in case the predicted winter weather hits today.
Rain or rain mixed with light sleet is expected to fall early today as overnight lows dipped into the low 30s, according to a National Weather Service forecast. Temperatures today may not climb beyond the upper 30s.
Cowart said the county uses special sand to ensure that intersections are safe for motorists.
"We've got some black bottom sand that comes out of that Southwestern Public Service plant. It's the leftovers out of that coal. They grind that stuff up, crush it, and we buy the sand," he said.
The sand is abrasive and comes in handy during the wintertime, Cowart said.
"We've got two sand trucks," Cowart said. "If it gets icy, we have to sand around both of the schools, Bushland and Rolling Hills."
Crews usually don't start using snow plows unless two inches of snow hits the ground, Cowart said.
"Unless they're really predicting a big snow, we don't put on our snow plows or anything," he said. "We may have to do some sanding for intersections because they're talking about freezing rain."
Crews also sand in hilly areas of the county if conditions require it or calls start coming in, Cowart said.
Stan Cranmer, Randall County assistant road superintendent, said the county has its trucks ready in case of inclement weather. He said the county has salt trucks ready for hilly areas and the county's snow plows are all hooked up.
Chris Mitchell, assistant street superintendent, said city crews have spreader trucks ready to put anti-icing chemicals on overpasses. In severe icing conditions, the crews also can tackle lighted intersections and other selected areas.
Tonya Detten, a spokeswoman for Texas Department of Transportation, said the department is installing a remote-controlled, anti-icing machine on U.S. 87 near Kimbrough Memorial Stadium, a hilly section known to be treacherous in icy conditions. The $57,700 piece of equipment should be ready in a week or two, she said,
"It's the first anti-icing system like this installed in Texas," she said. "The liquid will kind of seep out onto the roadway and be tracked by the cars."

Hokkaido University Museum is now temporarily closed for quakeproofing from April 2015 to July 2016. Its renewal open is scheduled in July 2016 with renewed exhibitions.
The Mission of The Hokkaido University Museum
The mission of The Hokkaido University Museum is to collect, preserve, document, digitize and utilize for the purposes of research, regular exhibitions and educational programs, the scientifically significant specimens and historical documents which the University has been accumulating since its establishment in 1876 to the present day. As an institution devoted to research and education, the Museum will exhibit the results of past and present research, and aims to provide the bases for future research, while supporting the training and education of both its own students and local citizens.
General Tasks
- The storage and proper classification of its holdings of research specimens, so that they can be used to contribute to the transmission of knowledge to future generations.
- The use of such research materials to pioneer new areas of interdisciplinary study .
- The promulgation of scientific knowledge throughout the community by such educational projects as exhibitions, seminars and other related activities.
- The creation, preservation and transmission of a 'Heritage Culture', in which the Museum's repository of historic artifacts and specimens of natural history will serve to inspire respect for the nation's cultural and natural heritage.
Specific Tasks
- The protection against loss and damage of over 4 million priceless scientific specimens, original documents, and works of art, which the present-day university has in its keeping, to ensure that they are preserved in good condition, for the use of researchers, and, through the public display of selected treasures, for the education of the general public.
- The designation of the University Campus and related sites such as the Botanic Garden as a living museum, so that not only members of the university but citizens and visitors will be able to take pleasure in its historic treasures and buildings, as well as in its rich and abundant natural life.
- The provision of facilities for members of the general public to learn about the academic achievements of scientists and scholars working in particular faculties within the university, as well as of educational projects undertaken by the university as a whole.
- The display of historic documents which reveal the part played by the early alumni of Sapporo Agricultural College, men such as Kanzo Uchimura, Inazo Nitobe and Takeo Arishima, whose love of learning and shared spiritual values helped to forge and foster the humane principles that inspire the people of contemporary Japan.
- The display of work carried out b earlier generations of scholars whereby present-day students will come to appreciate the benefits of disinterested research and a well-rounded education of the basic doctrines and principles of a fully humane education.
- The mounting of exhibitions, the conducting of educational tours, the giving of public lecture and musical entertainments, open to the public in general and for children still at school, so as to encourage greater public awareness of the importance of culture in all its carious manifestations.

The NFL draft will be on the move in 2015, and New York is out of the picture. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said late Thursday the 2015 NFL draft will be held in either Chicago or Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles Times reported Goodell's comments after he spoke to reporters at the Beverly Hilton after he participated on a CBS "Thursday Night Football" panel.
Goodell said 12 cities were interested in hosting the draft, which was held over three days in May this year. New Orleans was reported in May to be among the cities interested in hosting duties.
The draft will be moved from New York City for the first time since 1965 because Radio City Music Hall couldn't offer available dates in April or May, the newspaper reported.
"Because we don't have the appropriate dates in May our focus is completely on Los Angeles and Chicago," Goodell said. "They both have tremendous bids."
The league is considering expanding the draft to four days, Goodell said.
