University policy on online student readings
To ensure compliance with the conditions set out in the Copyright Act and CAL Agreement, University policy requires that all online, third-party, text-based readings required for student course work be made available through the Unit of Study Readings system operated by the University Library. This includes:
- chapters that have been scanned from published books
- scanned articles from hard copy volumes of periodicals
Library staff will make sure that material copied and communicated complies with the limits set down in Part VB of the Copyright Act, the Part VB Notice is displayed and the material can be accessed by your students via the Library's eReadings system or by a link from a learning management system such as WebCT or Blackboard. See the University of Sydney eReading Service Policy (PDF) for more details.
What types of works are covered by Part VB?
Part VB covers literary, dramatic and musical works including:
- books
- journal articles, newspapers,
- anthologies
- dramatic works such as plays, film and TV scripts
- musical scores and notated music
Part VB does not cover the copying and communication of:
- recorded music – this is covered by the Music Licence
- TV & radio broadcasts – these are covered by Part VA and the Screenrights Agreement
- computer programs – you need the copyright owner's permission or a licence to make computer software available online.
Moral rights
Remember to comply with the moral rights sections of the Copyright Act and acknowledge the author and source of each work you use in your teaching documents.
How do I get material into Library's eReadings system?
Send your list to the Library.
For further information, contact your Academic Liaison Librarian.
Library staff will manage the copyright compliance issues for you and provide options for effective use of copyright material. They will also be available to assist you in planning the acquisition of resources to meet your students' study needs.
For more information, please visit:
How much will the Library copy or make available online?
The Library can copy or scan and make available online the following amounts of material under the Copyright Act:
Separately published literary and dramatic works
- 10% or 1 chapter of a book (whichever is greater).
- if an electronic book is not paginated, you can request 10% of the number of words in the work can be copied and communicated.
- you can request more than 10% or 1 chapter of a work where the work is not commercially available within a reasonable time at an ordinary commercial price.
- In every case, you should only copy what you need for the educational purpose.
- you can copy and communicate a literary or dramatic work of not more than 15 pages in length contained in a published print or electronic anthology
- if the individual work is more than 15 pages long and has not been separately published, the entire work can be reproduced
- if the individual work is more than 15 pages long and has been separately published, only a reasonable portion of the work, that is only 10% of its pages, should be copied
- there is no limit on the number of works that can be copied from an anthology - multiple works can be copied as long as each individual work does not exceed the 15 page limit. However, it is suggested that no more than 10% of the total pages of the anthology be copied
- these limits do not apply to anthologies of music. See entry under Musical scores.
Artistic works
- a hard copy artistic work which accompanies a literary or dramatic work can be copied for the purpose of explaining or illustrating text
- the whole or part of a hard copy artistic work can be copied if it hasn't been separately published or can't be obtained in a reasonable time
- artistic works already in electronic format can be copied without further investigation.
Computer programs
Computer software cannot be copied and communicated under Part VB. If you wish to copy and communicate software for educational purposes you will need the copyright owner's permission.
Musical scores, notated music, sheet music
- 10% of the work can be copied - applies to separately published scores & published collections of scores
- more can be copied if the score is out of print & cannot be obtained in a reasonable period of time at an ordinary commercial price.
Periodical articles
- one article from an issue of a print or electronic periodical can be copied
- multiple articles from an issue can be copied if they are on the same narrow subject. i.e. a single sub-topic narrower than the subject breadth of the journal.
- it's Library policy to make links to articles in full-text journals in databases subscribed to by the Library. Access to these databases is governed by licences which usually do not permit files to be copied and stored on servers for access by students
- making a link to the material allows students to access the material directly
- there are no limits to the number of links that can be made to an issue of a journal as making a link does not involve any activity under the Copyright Act.
Unpublished works
Unpublished works can be copied and communicated for educational purposes.
Communication limits for book chapters
Note that under Part VB only one portion of a published book can be made available online across the entire University at any one time.
If Library staff discover that 10% or a chapter of a book is already online, they will contact you to discuss possible solutions including:
- negotiating with the person who placed the initial chapter online. It may be possible to take this chapter down and to make your chapter available online for a defined period of time.
- the communication limit of one chapter does not apply to print copies so it may be possible to arrange for the University Printing Service to include the chapter you need in a unit of study reader for distribution to your students. This would not be possible if you have already arranged for a different chapter from the same book to be included in a student notes (also known as course packs) for the unit of study.
- if it is not possible to make your chapter available online it may be necessary to place the print volume in the Library's 2 hour Collection
- it may be possible to communicate a greater proportion from the work if it is out of print or permission has been obtained from the copyright owner.
Can I ask the Library to make one chapter from a book available online via the Unit of Study Readings Service, and then take that chapter down and make the next chapter available for the same unit of study and so on?
No - sequential or serial copying and communication of chapters from a single book for the same unit of study not permitted under the Copyright Act.
Can the Library copy more than the set amounts?
Yes, if:
- the work is out of copyright – see Duration of copyright for more information
- the work is out of print and a new copy of the work is not available for purchase within a reasonable time at an ordinary commercial price.
- you have the copyright owner's permission. It is fine to make a request by email (see these sample permission letters), but keep a copy of any permission you receive and always send a copy to the Library.
When 3rd party material is placed online with the permission of the copyright owner, it is not necessary to display a Part VB notice. However, so that the University knows that the material is communicated with permission and will not have to report it during a sampling exercise, the Library will display a notice indicating that the material is being communicated with the permission of the copyright holder.
Limits on online access
Under Part VB, the University is required to take reasonable steps to limit access to material made available online to staff and students of the University.
- material on websites must not be accessible to the general public and should only be accessible by a restricted web site where authentication is required, such as WebCT or Blackboard
- if you email material to students, it should only be sent to enrolled students or University staff
- potential students and alumni are not covered by Part VB so this section cannot be used for marketing purposes.
Why can't I make digital copies of copyright materials for LMS myself?
Unless you hold the copyright of a text, or have express permission from the copyright holder, making a copy available in LMS is likely to contravene copyright.
The Library's Unit of Study Readings Service:
- checks copyright compliance with the Part VB licence,
- adds mandatory copyright notices,
- keeps the records required by the licence and
- participates in mandatory copyright compliance surveys under Part VB licence.
Library also provides high quality scans that include all the information students need to reference the reading accurately under the moral rights. Moral rights are rights provided to creators under copyright law in order to protect both their reputation and the integrity of their work.
Part VB Warning Notice
The Part VB warning notice must accompany every copy made available online. The Library will ensure that the Notice is included with every copy made available online via eReadings. If you email any documents to your students, the Part VB Warning Notice should appear before the students open each document.
The wording of the Warning Notice cannot be altered and must appear as follows:
Copyright Regulations 1969
This material has been reproduced and communicated to you by or on behalf of the University of Sydney pursuant to Part VB of the Copyright Act 1968 (the Act).
The material in this communication may be subject to copyright under the Act. Any further reproduction or communication of this material by you may be the subject of copyright protection under the Act.

Hey guys, I'm reading my physics book right now and I have a quick question about transitions in multielectron atom. I am posting a picture as well so you can see what I am talking about. How come the picture doesn't show a transition from the 5p state to the 5s state? I thought that as long as the different between the orbital quantum numbers was 1, then the emission could occur. In this case, 5s has l=0 and 5p has l=1, so the difference is one and I would think the transition would occur. Also in the picture, it doesn't show the transition of 4p to 4s even though the orbital quantum difference is also one. Is the picture wrong?
Yes, such transitions are possible. The book just list the main emission lines below 1800 nm.
For example, some missing lines in that image:
So the book probably just left these longer wavelengths out to not make the image any more cluttered.
You can search for more lines here:

Campaign of the Month: January 2013
DANgerous Kalamar 4
Tankard Challenge Scroll
Many years ago, in a tiny village, a drinking house played host to eight patrons on the night of a vile and loathsome murder. It was the eve of the new year, and each had come to celebrate with drink and merriment. As the midnight hour arrived, the jovial revelers hoisted their tankards in a toast to good fortune. But all was not as it appeared, for one in attendance was present for a far more sinister purpose.
Unbeknownst to the frolicking innocents, a foul plot was already in motion and had just come to fruition. With the toast concluded, the patrons slammed their tankards back onto the counter happily – all save for one. A silence fell over the bar counter as one man, The Usurer dropped his tankard upon the floor. Stiffening, The Usurer looked about frantically and slowly stumbled backward, falling to the ground.
The remaining guests quickly gathered about the fallen man, kneeling beside him. They called out to him and patted his cheeks and arms. The poor soul shook violently as if freezing and took ragged breaths which ended abruptly. His body convulsed one final time and then stilled – his eyes rolling upward and his jaw slackening.
Acting quickly, another guest, The Miner ran to the entry of the drinking house and blocked the door. "Help!" he called into the street. "Someone help! A man has been murdered!" The cries found the ears of a pair of watchmen on patrol up the road. As the troops hastened to the drinking house, The Miner returned his attention to his fellow occupants. "No one move…" he said cautiously.
In short order, more watchmen arrived and the drinking house became the focus of much official attention. Both barkeep and patrons were detained and taken to the barracks to stand before the Sheriff. Seated in a row and under heavy guard, the eight suspects contemplated their predicament and silently eyed each other with suspicion.
Finally the Sheriff arrived and looked the group over, pausing momentarily to study each in turn. The Butcher, The Ferryman, The Traveler, The Wheelwright, The Farmer, The Miner, The Cobbler and The Barkeep. Turning to the group as a whole, the Sheriff spoke at last. "Alright, who did it?"
Seated first was the Butcher, with head cleanly shaven and arms folded across his barrel chest. "Surely you cannot suspect me.." he said impatiently. "I knew him only slightly. What motive could I have?"
"Certainly more than I!" the Farmer, thin with hair of black, leaned forward and shouted out of turn from further down the line. "He was as a brother to me, and he will be sorely missed now that…"
"If familiarity is a measure of guilt…" the Traveler interrupted, a finger raised to the air and a smile playing across his handsome face "..then assuredly the culprit is not I. As any of you can attest, I have only just arrived to your quaint town and thus know no one."
"And why should we trust you outsider?" cried the Wheelwright, portly with stubbled jaw. "For all we know, you could be fleeing justice from another land. From many lands even…"
Amidst the Wheelwright and Traveler's bickering, the Ferryman, elderly with beard of grey, took his turn. "With The True as my witness, it was not I. For my time on this realm is nearly at its end and I would not stand before the gods with the stain of murder upon my soul."
"As if any of us would" said the Miner, tall with hair of blonde. "One need not be elderly to fear the wrath of gods. I too am pious and good, and would not leave my family in disgrace to face eternal condemnation as my body hung from the gallows!"
Stomping his foot angrily, the Cobbler, short with ruddy complexion, spoke next. "Why do you torment us this way good Sheriff when the guilty one is obvious!" A hush fell over the suspects at this 'revelation'. "Forget not that The Barkeep poured the drinks. He could easily have poisoned one. He must be the murderer!"
As all eyes turned to the final chair, the Barkeep, with thinning hair and thick mustache spoke nervously. "Oh please good Sheriff, you cannot suspect me. I poured the drinks true enough, but I set them upon the counter. Any of them could have poisoned one after that."
Having heard from all, the Sheriff ordered silence and turned away in thought. It was clear to him that this case would require further examination to puzzle out. He instructed his sergeant to jail the entire lot until he reached the answer. But as the days passed, the Sheriff found himself no closer to an answer than when he started.
After a full week of contemplation, the Sheriff thought back to the words of the Ferryman on the night of the murder…'with The True as my witness'. That was it! If anyone could give him the knowledge he sought, it was The True. He visited the temple to the Courts of Justice and made a sacrifice of gold coins and then prayed with the clerics for guidance.
Not wishing to see the innocents remain unjustly jailed, The True did speak to the Sheriff and revealed the identity of the murderer to him. And while the murderer was found guilty and executed, the Sheriff would forever after feel a twinge of guilt for allowing the seven innocent men to rot in jail alongside the killer for so long.

The Gang at Blizzard introduced a future pet for the Engineering profession. It helped that the picture was data mined earlier by an industrious crew that tear into PTR code with a vengeance.
Blizzard has done an excellent job with each patch of Mists of Pandaria to add weapons and items to be crafted by Blacksmiths, Tailors and Leatherworkers. Unfortunately Engineer crafted items have been slower to be delivered and the Inscription profession has been almost completely ignored for addition items.
One of the best ways to keep players excited about professions is to add new items for them to craft, both for personal use as well as sales. We all know that my gold goblin mind revolves mostly around what can be sold for a profit. In this case I expect the new Engineering Pet to be in demand.
We can only speculate on what will be required to craft this soon to be popular pet. If the powers that be stay on track with previous crafted items we can speculate on what will be needed.
Trillium Bar (my guess would be 4-6)
Spirit of Harmony (Probably 1, maybe at most 2)
Exotic Leather (4)
Of course I do not have a magic 8 ball to tell exactly what might be needed. At some point the PTR will have this pet and we will know the exact amount that will be required. But giving a decent heads up on what might be possible can help with being prepared. As with many pets, crafting and selling these will have a very short peak life. Once a player has one (or even two) of these for their personal collection the demand will take a serious drop. That first 2-3 weeks will become very important for sales opportunities and being ready.
So keep this in mind when you start storing your nuts and bolts for a later sales day. Maybe putting away one or two of your Ghost Iron Bars or Trillium bars on the possibility of being prepared to craft for the masses.

Here are a few tidbits about my branch of the family and their moves west away from Ohio to Washington and Alaska. My great grandmother was Emma Rebecca Handley. She was one of 12 children of James H Handley (1826-1913) and his wife Jane Slagle (1831-1891). James was the eldest son of Samuel and Elizabeth (Barger) Handley. James and Jane lived in Gallia, Lawrence, and Jackson Co in Ohio ending up in Wellston in the late 1890s, early 1900s. James was a coal miner.
Their children were:
1. Henry Thomas (1853-1868) died young in Decatur, Lawrence Co, OH
2. Ann Eliza (1855-1946) married John W Campbell and had 12 children. As far as I know they stayed in Jackson Co, OH until John's death in 1915. She was living in Cambridge, Guernsey Co, OH at the time of her death.
3. Mary E (b 1857) don't know what happened to her except that she married Jesse Arnold
4. Louis (b 1859, died young I think)
5. Albert M (b 1863) m Flora J Oney. The had 11 children. He was a teamster in 1900 and I think they stayed in Ohio.
6. Samuel B (1865-1942) m Jane M Wells. He went to Alaska in the Gold Rush in the late 1890s, leaving his wife in Wellston, OH with their 3 children. He was still in Alaska in 1910, living in his own home on Ester Creek near Fairbanks, AK working as a teamster. None of his immediate family was living with him, although his nephew Homer was living with him and another nephew, Oscar Kavaney lived nearby. By 1920, he had moved to Hazelwood in King Co, WA where he lived with his wife and children until his death.
7. Emma Rebecca (1867-1954) m Michael Kavaney, whose family had immigrated from Ireland ~1850. Michael was a coal miner. He died in 1907, probably of black lung disease in Wellston leaving his widow and 4 children: Oscar Beasley, Henry (Harry) Thomas, Myrtle Helen (my grandmother), and Curtis. Within a few years the family scattered - - Oscar went to Alaska, working in Berry's gold mines until the 1920s when he moved to the Bellingham area where he lived with his mother and step father until his death). Harry worked in the Seattle area for a while as a teamster, then as a farm hand living with his sister and her husband in the CA central valley and then I lost track of him. Neither he or Oscar married or had children. Curtis went to sea as a cabin boy - - the ships captain changed his name to James Cavannaugh stating that Curtis Cavaney was "no fit name for a sailor". After he retired from the sea, he spent the last 20 years of his life in Port Angeles, WA with his wife Anna. They had no children. Myrtle accompanied her aunt to AK by stage, train, ship, & river boat when she was 17. After spending at least a few months in AK, Yukon, and then a longer time in No Vancouver Island (with Nora Handley), she married Ralph Harris who had been partner in her uncle's teamster business in the creeks near Fairbanks. They settled in Selma, CA on a farm where she had her son, Don. After a few years, Ralph left her to return to Alaska remaining there until his death in 1945. Ralph's whole family came to Alaska during the gold rush living briefly in Nome and then primarily in Fairbanks. One of his sisters (Roma) married Clarence Berry's brother inheriting his part of one of Berry's claims on Ester Creek.. Emma joined her sister Norah in North Vancouver Island where she met Harmon Markham Marriott. After her second marriage, she and Harmon moved to the small town of Lookout (now called Alger) in Skagit Co south of Bellingham. Harmon bought a lot of property some of which his brothers and their sons farmed. He was primarily a logging operator, however. After Harmon's death ( he was run over by a bulldozer carrying a load of logs) Emma remained in Bellingham until her death in 1954. I met several relatives of Harmon's when I visited Alger last summer and they weren't too fond of Emma - - said she was a little too full of herself and her possessions.
8. Serena Jane (Rena, 1870-aft 1955) m Arch L. Moore. As far as I know, they had no children and lived in Seattle.
9. Flora H Handley (b 1872, twin of Nora, died after 1930) , Albert Buscher. from Winetka, IL. They were partners with Ralph Harris in a freighting business on Ester Creek and ran a stage line from Ester Creek to the rail line running from Fairbanks. He worked as gold miner and teamster until they left Alaska for Washington where he and his brother worked as laborers in the logging industry. After his wife's death in Berkeley, Ca he returned to his family in IL. They had no children. He was one of my favorite relatives when I was a kid.
10. Nora H Handley (1872-aft 1950) m George Morley from Maine. He first joined the gold rush as a stampeder up the Chilkoot Pass and down Lake Bennett by boat. I don't think that Norah accompanied him to Alaska, but lived on North Vancouver Island. By 1910 he was running a gold mine in Alaska (near Fairbanks in Ester Ciry) while his wife remained in Seattle, WA. He lived next door to his sister-in- law, Flora and Bert Busscher in Fairbanks. In the 1920s they lived in Webster, King Co in WA (Maple Valley). He worked in the logging industry along with the other Handley men in the area. In the 1930s and 40s, he ran a cafe in San Francisco with his wife. They had no children.
11. William C (b 1876) married and had a son Harry Welch. He remained in Wellston, working as a merchant.
12. Henry (b 1879) I don't know what happened to him.

The Detroit Red Wings' penalty killers came to life at just the right time Friday night, holding off a four-minute Dallas Stars' power play in the third period to help claim a 4-3 win.
After allowing three power play goals to Dallas, the Red Wings finally clamped down defensively after rookie Tomas Kopecky went off for a double-minor after high-sticking Jaroslav Modry at 2:58 of the final frame. They kept up the effort for the rest of the game and kept the Stars off the board, holding onto their one-goal lead.
The Stars never led the game but their power play kept them close.
Jiri Hudler opened the scoring for Detroit just 1:55 into the game but Mike Modano evened things back up 47 seconds later.
With 2:13 remaining in the first, Nicklas Lidstrom put Detroit back out in front, only to have the lead disappear when Jussi Jokinen scored 27 seconds into the second.
Pavel Datsyuk put in a rebound after a Dallas turnover in their own zone at 2:09 of the middle period and Lidstrom added Detroit's lone power play goal on a 5-on-3 at 8:32.
Modano scored with 7:47 remaining in the period but the Stars were unable to even things up.
Detroit finished the night 1-for-4 on the power play while Dallas went 3-for-7.
Red Wings' netminder Dominik Hasek made 17 saves on 20 shots. Marty Turco stopped 29 of 33 shots against.
The Red Wings will be back in action Saturday night when they visit the St. Louis Blues.
That was an insane finish. Huge stop on Morrow by Hasek when the Stars could have tied it.
Throughout the game, Turco reminded me of Hasek a lot, went down to fast on the eventual game-winner, threw his stick to take the penalty that it was scored on. Kinda weird.
Wings played very well though, good to see their scoring pick up even if the PK still leaves a bit to be desired. Catmandu mentioned before going to sleep that if the Wings are scoring at 5-on-5 and only allowing PP goals, they'll be okay when the playoffs roll around and the penalties stop being called. But that's a long way out.

Last night I participated in my fist Twitter Taste Live, or #TTL, for those in the know. This was a fantastic experience. Wine "Tweeters" from all over the country, and one from China even, grabbed a bottle that had a tiny carbon footprint and drank. Then we tweeted about our wines. Easy enough! But, it was HALARIOUS! Some of us had great wines, I'm looking at you @oenophilus, he had Seghesio. Grrr. And some of us had complete and utter, well I wouldn't repeat those words in polite company, @dhonig2 *cough*.
I, on the other hand, had something somewhere in the middle. Rockhouse 2006 Meritage from Tryon, NC. This is a blend of %20 Merlot, %40 Cabernet and %40 Cab Franc.
When I opened it, it smelled of sweat socks, foot and green pepper. I've been drinking Bordeaux for a while, and I understand that smell, but damn was this funky. I let it blow off for a while, about an hour, before the #TTL started. Then I dug into it. The green pepper remained, but the sweat sock retreated into a more leathery tobacco thing, that was pleasing, but not fantastic.
The core color was VERY deep, dark ruby. But the rim was near colorless, really interesting.
The palate was wet barnyard and forest undergrowth with hints of vegital-ness (think roasted green pepper). Not bad, needs a few more years in bottle to live up to its potential.
The finish was very lackluster. It came, I tasted and it went.
For $20 it was better than many NC wines I've tasted, but still not awesome. Give NC a few years and we'll be making great wines... we just need time!

"Write Your Pet's Life Story in 7 Easy Steps!" by Mary Anne Benedetto is a new guide for anyone who wants to write a special type of memoir: a biography of their pet.
Author Mary Anne Benedetto explained, "As a Certified Lifewriting Instructor, I spend considerable time influencing people to write their life stories while it is possible to do so. But what about our pets? Why are we not preserving their sagas as well? Photos and videos are helpful in reminiscing, but they don't offer the details. They don't explain why a particular pet was chosen or define the qualities that made this special one so endearing."
Mary Anne Benedetto is a speaker, blogger, Certified Lifewriting Instructor, ghostwriter and author of "Eyelash", "Never Say Perfect", "7 Easy Steps to Memoir Writing: Build a Priceless Legacy One Story at a Time!", and "From Italy with Love & Limoncello"
Capturing pet stories can be accomplished in following seven easy steps. By answering the list of straightforward questions in order to formulate the story, anyone who can read a book and write a simple paragraph can create a booklet that encompasses the essence of a beloved pet. The book includes logical procedural writing steps, as well as adorable pet-related quotes, sayings and photos.

Robinson Stadium Is Fun House For Women's Soccer
Home advantage has taken on new meaning for the Pasadena City College women's soccer team this season. The Lancers remain undefeated after five games on the SprinTurf surface of Robinson Stadium following a 5-1 pounding over Los Angeles Valley College Friday evening.
The Lancers are 4-0-1 at home (4-2-1 overall) and have outscored opponents, 21-4. Against LA Valley, PCC badly outshot the Monarchs, 24-3, and had numerous scoring chances throughout the match.
"We've talked as a team about the idea of playing a full 90 minutes without having a lapse in either half," said PCC head coach Randy Lilavois. "I thought the players accomplished that today. When you score in the first five minutes and the last five minutes, it's a sign you've played well from start to finish."
The number of fans have increased at games with more than 100 viewing this match. PCC athletics has implemented a fan-friendly atmopshere at contests, including pre-game and halftime music, scoreboard operation, including game time and game score, while adding the announcement of starting lineups (for both teams) and the playing of the national anthem over the stadium's public address system. Even chants of "let's go Lancers" were heard on Friday from excited fans.
Against Valley, sophomore forward Vanessa Capra scored the first of her two goals, accepting a lead pass from Taylor Gore and netting PCC a 1-0 lead just four minutes into the game. Capra missed on a penalty kick later in the half and the Lancers kept that slim margin into halftime.
In the second half, sophomore defender Hallie White headed in a perfectly placed corner kick by frosh forward Nancy Nunez for a 2-0 lead in the 59th minute. Just five minutes later, sophomore defender Heather French launched a 35-yard free kick into the upper corner for a 3-0 lead. After the Monarchs cut it to 3-1, Capra scored on a breakaway set up on a pass by Cassandra Orozco in the 84th minute. With three minutes left, Nunez closed the scoring, ripping in a penalty shot goal for her team-leading seventh this season.
Sarah Castellenos had a second-half goal nullified by the referee. If not for a few spectacular saves by LAVC goalie Tiffany Tobar (seven overall), the Lancers might have piled on their lofty lead.
On Tuesday, Sept. 25, the Lancers open the South Coast Conference portion of their schedule as they host El Camino College. Game time is 1 p.m. at Robinson Stadium.

Track officials announced plans for its Inaugural Infield Festival to coincide with the 100th running of the Louisiana Derby, March 30, 2013. The pedestrian bridge is on loan from Pimlico Race Track in Baltimore, MD and is used to move patrons during the Preakness, the 2nd jewel of racing's Triple Crown.

OUT / GREATER BATON ROUGE BUSINESS REPORT OUT / 225 OUT /10/12 OUT IN REGISTER OUT / LBI CUSTOM PUBLICATIONS OUT / MANDATORY CREDIT : THE ADVOCATE/ALEXANDER BARKOFF BY RYAN WHIRTY| Special to The Advocate Comments NEW ORLEANS — March 30 will be a big sports day in New Orleans, especially if you're chasing a finish line. On Tuesday, the New Orleans Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots announced the slating of the 100th running of the Louisiana Derby for March 30, complete with a new infield music and food festival headlined by New Orleans rockers Cowboy Mouth. In addition, the milestone derby event will fall on the same day as the 35th running of the Crescent City Classic 10K road race. During a news conference at the Fair Grounds on Tuesday, officials from both events said the two committees worked in conjunction to make March 30 a special experience. "We think it will be a great day of racing for horses and humans," said CCC director Eric Stuart. Fair Grounds President Tim Bryant said planning for the centennial edition of the Louisiana Derby began right after the 99th version this year. Fair Grounds and racing officials wanted to mark the occasion with an event that could draw thousands of visitors to the Crescent City. The idea of a music and food festival was hatched, with similar events at the Kentucky Derby and other famed races as inspiration. Event officials said the March 30 infield festival will feature pedestrian bridges over the track to the infield, a musical lineup headlined by Cowboy Mouth, and a monster food-truck gathering. The result, Bryant said, "will give the city of New Orleans the $1 million sporting event it deserves." Added Bryant: "It will make for a full and historic day in Mid-City." The derby festival was developed with help from City Hall and the local tourism groups, especially the New Orleans Tourism Marketing Corporation. "We want to congratulate the Fair Grounds for really stepping up their game and adding something extra to our calendar," NOTMC President Mark Romig said. "The Fair Grounds is so significant to what we are doing for New Orleans. We've given people another reason to come into our city." Officials said one of the keys to planning the track's festival was coordinating with the Crescent City Classic committee, which, Stuart said, readily decided to change the foot race's course and move its start time up to 8 a.m. to accommodate for the staging of the Louisiana Derby. The equine event, meanwhile, pushed its opening bell back to 2 p.m. to make sure both races could be attended by as many people as possible. Representatives from both events hope participants in the CCC and its own ensuing postrace festival will migrate from downtown to Gentilly Avenue for the Fair Ground's festivities. "March 30 is going to be a full day in New Orleans," Stuart said. Tickets for the Fair Grounds Race Course Infield Festival will be available online in January and will run from $25 for general admission to VIP packages starting at $60. Discounted admission to the infield fest will be available to participants in the Crescent City Classic as well. The Fair Grounds' 141st thoroughbred season begins Thanksgiving Day and runs until March 31, the day after the centennial running of the Louisiana Derby. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

Whether you need keys, alarm codes, or any other access, including removing bollards for approved entry, this section will assist you in obtaining that information.
Alarm Access
There are many rooms across campus and at the outreach centers, that have intrusion alarms. These rooms will require an alarm code to de-activate the alarm for entry. Typically, the code will be the last four digits of the user's social security number. For Imron card access, the card will both unlock the doors and turn off the alarm, so no "keying in" is required.
Alarm access MUST come through the user's division office and must be made confidentially. These requests are called in or submitted in a sealed envelope, preferably hand-carried to Operations. Once the request has been received, Operations will enter them into the alarm system.
When a user no longer requires access, the division office will need to contact Operations to de-activate their alarm code.
All Temporary, Substitute, and Adjunct employee alarm codes will be de-activated two weeks after the end of the semester unless otherwise requested.
There are moveable bollards located around the campus. If you have a valid need for these to be temporarily removed, contact Operations and we will move them for you. Valid reasons include 1) large deliveries, and 2) work by an outside vendor that requires access to the vendor vehicle. If your request is part of an event or facilities use, you will need to coordinate that with the Facilities Department during the scheduling of the use.
Cabinet And Desk Keys
Cabinet and Desk Keys
If you find you have a file cabinet or a desk that has a lock, but no key, we may be able to help. You will need to look on the face of the lock to see if there is a number. If there is, call us at 916-558-2543 and we will see if we have a copy of that key. If we do, we can usually provide a copy. If there is no number and there is no key, we can remove the lock, and possibly rekey it. You'll need to submit a work order through the division office to accomplish this.
Door Unlocks
If you leave your keys at home or lock them in your office, you will need to come by the Operations Division office for a loan set, during regular business hours. (See the Operations Division Main page for days/hours.) You may keep this for the day, returning them to Operations at the end of your work day. If Operations is closed, please contact the Campus Police for access.
If you are assigned a room and have yet to receive the key to unlock it, you should call Operations at 916-558-2543 and we will have the door unlocked.
Imron access is card access and provides the ability to both open the door and turn off the alarm at the same time. Imron cards are requested via a "Key Request Form", (see "Keys" below). Imron also provides the ability to track users and is used to identify a security issue. The Imron card closely resembles the Los Rios Employee Identification Card with one exception: the back of the card is mostly blank. Although Operations is the approval office for the request of Imron cards, the Campus Police Office is the group that issues the cards. They will contact you when the card is ready. Be aware that a photo may need to be taken. Contact: Louisa Melo, 916-558-2543.
Whenever you are assigned a room for a semester or longer, please contact your division office to submit a Key Request Form on your behalf. They will send the form to Operations, and we will provide the key and contact you when it is ready. When you no longer need the key, please be sure to return it to Operations.
If you lose a key, the same form and procedure is used, except that the "Lost" box is marked. This form is also used for stolen keys – again, the "stolen" box is marked.
Please be sure to review your keys regularly for any returns. For instance, if you were previously assigned a room, but are not assigned it for the current semester, please return the key.
A Locknetics key is a small black fob that uses magnetic activation. These locks are found primarily on the Learning Resource Center and Technology building outside doors. The "Key Request Form" is also used to request these keys and the procedure is the same. Like Imron cards, these keys have a tracking mechanism so the last 100 users can be tracked. This is used to assist in identification should there be a security issue.

Today, Hartford Books Examiner welcomes Ronald Rosbottom.
Mr. Rosbottom is the author of When Paris Went Dark: The City of Light Under German Occupation, 1940-1944 (Little, Brown and Company, $28.00), which is out today. Currently, he is the Winifred L. Arms Professor in the Arts and Humanities and Professor of French and European Studies at Amherst College; Rosbottom previously served as the Dean of the Faculty at Amherst, Chair of the Romance Languages Department at Ohio State University, and taught at the University of Pennsylvania. He makes his home in Amherst, Massachusetts.
Advance praise for When Paris Went Dark has been enthusiastic. Kirkus awarded the title a starred review and noted, "Rosbottom explains the interactions of the French and their occupiers in a way that illuminates their separate miseries … The author attentively includes German and French letters and journals that explain the loneliness, desperation, and the very French way of getting by … A profound historical portrait of Paris for anyone who loves the city." Further, Scott Turow (Presumes Innocent) praised, "When Paris Went Dark recounts, through countless compelling stories, how Nazi occupation drained the light from Paris and how many of its residents resisted in ways large and small. This is a rich work of history, a brilliant recounting of how hope can still flourish in the rituals of daily life."
From the publisher:
The spellbinding and revealing chronicle of Nazi-occupied Paris
On June 14, 1940, German tanks entered a silent and nearly deserted Paris. Eight days later, France accepted a humiliating defeat and foreign occupation. Subsequently, an eerie sense of normalcy settled over the City of Light. Many Parisians keenly adapted themselves to the situation-even allied themselves with their Nazi overlords. At the same time, amidst this darkening gloom of German ruthlessness, shortages, and curfews, a resistance arose. Parisians of all stripes-Jews, immigrants, adolescents, communists, rightists, cultural icons such as Colette, de Beauvoir, Camus and Sartre, as well as police officers, teachers, students, and store owners-rallied around a little known French military officer, Charles de Gaulle.
WHEN PARIS WENT DARK evokes with stunning precision the detail of daily life in a city under occupation, and the brave people who fought against the darkness. Relying on a range of resources---memoirs, diaries, letters, archives, interviews, personal histories, flyers and posters, fiction, photographs, film and historical studies---Rosbottom has forged a groundbreaking book that will forever influence how we understand those dark years in the City of Light.
Now, Ronald Rosbottom sheds new light on Paris under Occupation …
1) What inspired you to write WHEN PARIS WENT DARK – and how do you feel that your book differs from others that have been written on the subject?
I have loved Paris since I first lived there as a student. Once I became a professor of French, I revisited dozens of times. A few years ago I created a course at Amherst College on the history of modern Paris, and of course the four years of the Occupation marked and still marks the city. I wanted to know what it was like to have lived daily cheek-to-jowl with a dangerous enemy in the world's most beautiful city.
2) How do you endeavor to bring history to life for the reader – and how have your experiences in education shaped this approach?
The best teachers are story-tellers, I have found. No matter what you are teaching, if you can structure it as a narrative, it will not only interest students, but help them remember what you are trying to inculcate. That's what I try to do in my book: tell a collection of stories, loosely connected, from a variety of points of view—French, German, conservative, resistant, Jewish, Gentile, adolescent, adult, and so forth—to build a master narrative that will help my readers understand the complexity of living under military occupation in a metropolis.
3) Tell us about the resources that you drew upon to shape your narrative. How did these enhance your telling of the story?
I decided early not to limit myself to traditional historical and archival resources. If I was to reveal this "narrative," I needed to explore all the sources I could find. I interviewed a couple of dozen persons who lived during that period, and sometimes their children. I read French accounts that were printed right after the Occupation, but that have gone unread for a half century. I read contemporary magazines and newspapers; I read memoirs of French, Germans, Americans and others who knew intimately the period. I sought the testimonies—videotaped, recorded, and written—of dozens of Jews who have left us their memories. I watched films of the periods, read novels and stories written during the Occupation, and many written since that have tried through fiction what I'm trying to do through non-fiction.
My "story" is their "stories," and thus richer.
4) Paris and its people are at the heart of this story. How does setting become a character – and what do you believe your portrait may add to people's perception of the iconic city?
This is an excellent question for it brings up the aspect of my book the most difficult to explain: how does a city, living in a city, determine who we are and how we act? Does the built environment really affect ethical choice? Paris was already a city with a strong history of freedom, independence, with a powerful tendency of revolt, with self-confidence about its place--because its builders had wanted it so--not only in France, not only in Europe, but in the world. This meant that many Parisians had, through osmosis, adopted those characteristics. Like New Yorkers today who are proud of being distinctive in behavior and language, so were Parisians in the 1940s (and today). This meant the city was difficult to "occupy," that the Germans had to carefully walk through the minefield of a city that had given its denizens the confidence to face their tormentors.
5) Lastly, what do you believe are the most relevant lessons from the occupation as pertaining to contemporary world affairs?
Military occupation will inevitably weary both sides. Daily, it reminds the occupied, in every aspect of their lives, that they are not free to live as they want, love as they want, think as they want. And it weakens, eventually, the occupier, who finds it more and more difficult to justify restricting the emotional, affective lives of those it must keep watch over. An occupation, always based on force, reveals the limits of that force to ensure long-term safety, comity, and ethical certainty. The French after only four years of occupation are still, seven decades later, trying to reconcile their memories with what history reminds that they did in order to survive. And Germany is so reticent to show any suggestion of force against its neighbors that it has removed from its bag of weapons one of the essential tools of a powerful nation: the threat of force.
With thanks to Ronald Rosbottom for his generosity of time and thought and to Morgan Moroney, Publicist at Little, Brown and Company, for facilitating this interview.

Short ficlets vary in ratings. Warnings also vary.

Title: Prisoner of the DJD
Pairing: mentioned Fulcrum/Misfire; slight Fulcrum/Helex
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: AU, slash
Fulcrum winced as he was shoved onto his knees by Helex, staring up at Tarn, Kaon, Vos, and Tesarus. He had feared this moment for a long time, condensation trickling down his brow as the DJD leader gazed him over, probably contemplating a slow, horrific death for his act of treason. He could at least die happy knowing that he had spared The Scavengers from such a fate, having snuck out of the safety of the ship while his friends slept, feeling a pang of guilt for leaving his lover, Misfire, alone in their berth after sharing one last act of intimacy. Once far away, he made no effort to hide
|Hello. I enjoy Transformers, MLP, horror movies, and a bunch of other stuff. A lot of my stuff contains slash. You've been warned.
Last Friday, I had to put my dog, Cybill, to sleep due to her health declining over the last year. This was something that was supposed to take place in January, but the day after Christmas she began vomiting blood, having diarrhea, and unable to stand on her own. The vet and assistants were nice. It was peaceful, fast, and she was nestled in my arms as she passed away. She was suffering, but that doesn't take away the guilt. She was my little baby for 16 years. I felt horrible.
I still cry, I still expect to hear her nails clicking along the floor as she comes to greet me after I get home from work, and I still reach out to pet her when I wake up.

A fire caused extensive damage to a Camas-area house Tuesday morning, leaving a family homeless.
The blaze was reported at 9:08 a.m. at 3405 S.E. Crown Road, near the intersection with Strong Road, just outside the city limits of both Camas and Washougal.
Scott Koehler, chief of East County Fire & Rescue, said someone driving along Crown Road spotted the fire through the trees, stopped and pounded on the front door. At least one person, a woman, was at home asleep. She safely escaped the fire along with all of the family pets, which included dogs and a snake.
Firefighters from Camas, Washougal and East County Fire & Rescue stations arrived to find a large fire in the attic of the single-story home.
With the help of water ferried by tenders, they were able to hit the flames and knock them down by about 9:30 a.m., though heavy smoke and steam continued to pour from the wood-framed home for some time after.
Crews doused the structure with a mixture of water and foam to help prevent the fire from re-igniting.
The fire was mostly confined to the attic, but the roof and part of the living space also sustained damage. Flames spread through the walls to part of the basement. Parts of the ceilings and walls had to be opened to expose the fire, leaving the house uninhabitable, Koehler said. He characterized the damage as "very extensive."

As firefighters worked, they made sure the fire had not weakened the roof above them enough for it to collapse. By 9:40 a.m., it began to sag in several places due to the damage beneath it.
"If it had gone on much longer we would have had to abandon the building," Koehler said.
After the fire was out, crews worked to salvage what they could of the family's belongings.
The American Red Cross was called to assist the occupants of the home.
According to county property records, the house is owned by Lloyd and Donna Compher of Camas. Koehler said the house is a rental.
Clark County Deputy Fire Marshal Richard Martin said the blaze sparked in a wood frame around the chimney. He said the frame is typical for older construction. The wood finally caught fire after a number of years, he said.
An exact damage estimate wasn't available, but Martin guessed it would be something around $70,000 in damage to the structure and $20,000 to contents.

This photo provided by Kristin Sutcliffe shows okra where the end of it was cut off and its immediate seeds scooped out to stamp the image of a delicate flower. It's the element of surprise — when an ordinary vegetable imparts a beautiful image — that grabs folks who stamp with food.
I was chopping vegetables for dinner recently when my 14-year-old daughter, Grace, disappeared with the unusable end of the bok choy. She returned five minutes later with paper, a stamping ink pad and the pilfered vegetable.
"Look, Mom," she said, and held up a stunner: The bok choy head, refuse to me, had stamped a beautiful blooming rose onto the paper.
I discovered what some crafters have long known — the beauties of stamping with food. Part of the pleasure derives from the experimentation, and part from the element of surprise when an ordinary vegetable imparts a beautiful image.
Kristen Sutcliffe of Oberlin, Ohio, came to love stamping while teaching preschool in Japan, where it's popular, she says.
Her favorite food tool? Okra.
"It's so pretty," Sutcliffe says. "It looks like a little flower."
Heads of bok choy and celery stamp pretty roses. Pull off a stalk of either to stamp U shapes. Peppers, sliced in half and deseeded, stamp wavy rounds for making flowers.
Garlic is the favored stamp of Sarah Raven, program director for a group with the acronym GARLIC (Green Art Recreating Life in Communities) that encourages low-income residents of New Haven, Conn., to make art from recycled items. Garlic, too, can create a delicate flower image.
The discovery was part of the thrill, Raven says.
"I tried to ink the entire garlic and that didn't work," she says. Then she pulled a single clove out of the bulb and realized it looked like a finger and a flower petal.
"The individual clove becomes a stamping surface for individual flower petals," Raven says.
She also has tried carved potatoes and star fruit cut in half. The latter is a little unwieldy and stinky, she says.
Terri Ouellette of Phoenix has a tip for that: Cut and air-dry citrus and other watery fruits and vegetables, sometimes overnight, before working with them, she says. Be watchful because they dry out quickly.
"Anything with a very high water content does not work very well," says Ouellette, who posts crafts videos to YouTube and her own website, Super Simple with Terri O.
What works, she says: apples, oranges and pears. What doesn't: grapes, broccoli and lettuce.
Besides celery, Ouellette likes using mushrooms, cauliflower and potatoes.
Potatoes "can be cut up into anything and turned into a great stamp," she says. "You just have to carve in reverse."
Marcie McGoldrick, editorial director of holiday and crafts for Martha Stewart Living, has stamped with apple halves, carrots (the ends make polka dots) and radicchio.
Radicchio? The cut end of a head of radicchio, like celery and bok choy, makes a version of a rose print.
Martha Stewart Living online also recommends trying Brussels sprouts cut in half.
The whole venture is trial and error, says McGoldrick.
"It's really just looking at different things when you're cooking," she says, and then having a printing day.
As with other stamping, use a stamp pad or acrylic paint for stamping on paper. Use fabric-specific acrylic paint for printing on textiles.
Sutcliffe recommends soaking a sponge with tempera (poster) paint or pouring a thin layer of the paint on a plate and using either as an ink pad.
Once your prints are dry, add embellishments, such as stems or leaves, with colored markers or fabric markers, says Ouellette.
She has stamped aprons, placemats and tote bags with food. McGoldrick has stamped note cards and gift wrap.
Sutcliffe, whose book for kids, "Fabric, Paper, Thread," will be published in June by C&T Publishing, prints mostly on paper gift tags and note cards, and small swatches of fabric. Sometimes her 6-year-old daughter joins her.
While it's a great project for kids, food stamping also can provide attractive artwork for the home.
McGoldrick recommends stamping several images of the same vegetables but in complementary colors, then framing the series.
She also recommends this for gardeners who want to document their harvest artistically.
"It'd be beautiful to pull a carrot up and cut it in half and print with that," McGoldrick says. "It's a way of documenting what you did."

Download Now Blogs Now Video Training Series Customer Success Plan BIM Score
Like many industries, construction is divided into silos: business development, preconstruction teams, estimators, schedulers, and operations or field teams. Connecting these silos to the 5D BIM harnesses the construction means and methods knowledge contained throughout the CM/GC firm. Construction CIOs are increasingly asked to provide integration to make the firm's BIM strategy pervasive, persistent, and profitable.
There are three very interesting technologies and methodologies emerging to create even more connections between the silos: the Vico MPS (model progression specification), the agcXML, and virtualization.
Join us as we dive in to these technology topics and how they impact enterprise-level BIM. The end result is a coordinated project data set revolving around a model which feeds quantities to the team. Those detailed quantities feed cost estimates, and the line items in an estimate feed the project schedule. Superintendents and subcontractors are brought into this collaborative process to assess and plan proper crew and resource sizing to produce a complete project plan where all stakeholders own the plan and are committed to a consistent set of outcomes. Everything from material and labor cost to task durations are derived from this information model and kept up to date as inevitable changes occur.
The CIO's Role in the BIM Strategy
A free online webinar series
Use the form at the bottom of the page to download the archived webinar
Participants will learn about this integrated BIM strategy for the enterprise, as well as dive into the new technologies and hear practical use cases and customer anecdotes.
Model Progression Specification The MPS defines the interaction between the Owner, Designer, and Preconstruction Team as they migrate from the initial idea through the conceptual phase, on to the schematic, detail, and construction phases of a program. It provides the framework for an efficient written checklist evolving elements of the design from a very schematic level of detail to a high level of detail in terms of 3D geometry, cost, and time.
agcXML is a set of eXtensible Markup Language (XML) schemas designed to automate and streamline the exchange of information during the building design and construction process. agcXML facilitates the electronic exchange between different software programs of typical business information that is otherwise exchanged in unstructured construction documents. We will discuss how RFI and Change Order details can be shared between project team stakeholders, quickly comparing the cost and schedule impact from different design and construction changes.
Virtualization is also an important option for construction CIOs. This option allows inexpensive desktop or laptop computers to connect to a powerful application server. The connection fee is significantly less expensive than outfitting many project workers with powerful machines and graphics cards. We will examine current options in the market.
It is becoming clear to Vico's customers that the CIO must be at the heart of the construction BIM strategy. Without a clear understanding of how departmental silos can be connected and leveraged for the betterment of the company, it would be difficult for any BIM strategy to make it past modeling and clash detection. And there is so much more to BIM than just 3D models. Models do not involve an IT strategy, but seamlessly connecting all departments using BIM as the enabling technology is – and that's a powerful advantage for the company brand.
This webinar is for you and your firm if:
1. Your BIM strategy has been hamstrung by resistance to change and the need to run parallel processes for comfort;
2. You understand that BIM is not a point solution, but rather an enterprise solution connecting all the departments in your firm;
3. You want to learn about the technologies that are in play today to connect it all together – seamlessly – without manual linking and glue-ware;
4. You understand that BIM is technology plus process change and want your CIO to play a key role in its success.
Join us for this pivotal discussion and learn how your firm can deploy BIM without stumbling.

Pick up this blue silk kaftan from Surekha Jain for a special lady heading off on holiday—it's fit for any destination from Marrakech to the Maldives. If you're shopping for a low maintenance traveller who prefers comfortable basics, this striking malachite belt by Marko Matysik will spice up her simplified wardrobe.
For a majorly stylish woman in search of unique accessories, try Bea Valdes' sequin and crystal encrusted Snow Stefani bag, Walid's fabulously outsize beaded and sequined antique collar or Vicente Gracia's Anillo Bolas de Nieve, a delightfully unusual ring that combines white quartz cabochon and diamonds.
For someone who prefers vintage accessories that easily integrate into their wardrobe, look no further than this Christian Dior gold plated feather cuff.
An unexpected neckpiece is the perfect surprise for the man in your life. Forego all those run of the mill ties by opting for this Alexis Mabille bow tie, uniquely made with intertwining satin ribbons. Not many men are familiar with ARMREVOLUTION, but their architectural cufflinks made with Japanese stainless steel are a polished touch that will make hearts flutter. But to really skip a heartbeat, get him this handsome, handmade ALT1-Z cream watch from the Bremont Collection.
Don't forget that the holidays aren't only for adults, however. For the kids in your life, this cute teddy bear embroidered by artisans from deprived parts of Africa brings joy for everyone involved. Similarly, this cheeky lobster-inspired chair from Christian Astuguevieille is fit for either a child's room or as a conversation piece in a modern living room.
Speaking of homeware, pick up Sylvie Coquet's gold cocktail plates and Bottega Veneta's Intreccio candle—they'll be perfect additions to any discerning stylista's home.

A few weeks ago I flew back to Oklahoma to help hostess a book release for my wonderful friend Megan Tietz, author of Spirit-Led Parenting.
We threw the party near downtown OKC, at the stylish Studio Midtown.
It was such evening, with old friends and new friends who drove near and far to celebrate Megan.
Megan's college friends surprised her.
And I was personally happy to see such a big contingent from our hometown.
While we munched on a few treats, Megan gave a short reading from the book and her sweet voice reading her important message had more than one guest in tears.
At the end of the evening, my face hurt from smiling so much.

My new BFF -planning
Monday, October 15, 2012
I sorta gave up this weekend. Well, I had a pretty disastrous week altogether food-wise. I kept fighting it though. But this weekend, there were too many deviations from my routine and the result was 2 days of me eating crazy bad.
My last 3 monthly cycles didn't seem to be much of a problem for me as far as cravings but this time around, I just couldn't get a handle on it. Not the week before or during. I have no idea why. Maybe it was just hormones combined with all the pent up frustration about how hard I'm working and how little I have to show for it.
My friends are always commenting on how good I look but honestly it just makes me more frustrated. I feel like a fraud. I really haven't even lost that much. I'm not even halfway to my goal yet. And the 40 that I have lost, has taken me 2 years. I've lost less than 10 in 3 months, actually I've lost 5 if I'm using my weight from the scale this morning which is 174 - which is 4 lbs up from a week ago so I'm telling myself its not my real weight. So 5lbs in 3 months is pretty terrible. My friend who has been losing too is down 37lbs and she's only been losing for like a few months, since the summer probably AND she's over 50 and not even really exercising. Just eating better. That is making me go crazy!! What's wrong with me?? I know I shouldn't compare myself to others but its just so hard not to. So I don't know, I think I was just discouraged and giving up a little bit this weekend.
But I know that I can't give up. No matter how hard it is, or how long it takes, I have to keep going. I think I need to find some way to take the pressure off myself about being at my goal by feb. it's just not realistically gonna happen and I guess in the grand scheme of things, the important thing is that I'm getting healthy and changing my lifestyle so that I have a better quality of life. And if the trade off is that the weight comes off slowly, it's still worth it.
That said though, I still want to work as hard as I can so that I know I did everything in my power to reach my goal. I'm just gonna have to get more disciplined with tracking and planning. I need to see where the work is going. It seems like a no-brainier but I struggle with planning so much. And I think I have a firm grasp on my efforts without tracking but obviously whatever effort I am putting in, isn't good enough. So I'm gonna have to take it to the next level.
My new plan:
Pre-plan every bite of food throughout the day and pre-track it. And then adjust when I deviate from the plan (but don't deviate!)
Run 3 days a week - goal is 3 miles for now.
Strength training on off days using interval programs
Try to do some kind of light cardio in the mornings
87 oz of water every day at least
Continue following skinny rules as much as I can force myself to cuz I really don't like fish or eggs.
I guess that's all I can think of. I just need to be diligent as much as I can for as long as I can. And not obsess about it so much if I lose focus for a few days or whatever. It's kinda like running - I need to have the same attitude. I run as long as I can and if I need to take a break and walk for a couple minutes I do and then when I'm ready, I run some more. So I took a little walk last week. Time to run again.

Plateaus happen. Just keep at it, and your body is benefiting from the better-quality food you're putting into it. The weight will go. Chin up.

Are you kidding me?!
40 pounds is INCREDIBLE!
Do you know how many people wish that they could lose 5 or 10?
Listen, I feel you. I've been sitting at 195 FOREVER in spite of running a 5K, training nearly daily and keeping my calories between 1200 and 1500 a day. It's frustrating, but sometimes you have to take your victories where you can find them.
Besides, they say being the slowest loser is the better guarantee for long term success.
You got this, keep your head up.

I totally understand. My friend and I are both losing weight, well she is. I've only lost 2 pounds and she has lost 30. I try not to compare myself to her but I do.
40 pounds lost is awesome! You are doing great. If you don't think that you will make your goal by February, change the goal. Could you maybe set the goal to lose "x" pounds by the end of 2013 instead of February?
You are a ROCKSTAR!
