Jigsaw's Board of Directors decided to change from Wells Fargo bank to a local credit union because we were tired of giving our money away in bank fees. This is decision had been in process for a couple of months with a final decision made in September, 2011.
As a member, I request that Jigsaw Renaissance publicly participate in Bank Transfer Day on Saturday, November 5th. I am NOT making this request as the treasurer of our organization, but as a member who feels passionately about this topic. Please think about this as a project that I am building, like the multi-touch table or JigTwitch. I am asking for your support of my project.
I brought this proposal to the board on November 1st. Due to the perceived and actual association of Bank Transfer Day with the Occupy Wall Street movement, and the shared value of inclusivity, the Board needs your input on public participation in this event.
I believe that Jigsaw, and the hacker/maker movement as a whole, is a direct response to planned obsolescence–making things cheaply with the expectation they will break, needing to be replaced instead of repaired. Planned obsolescence boosts corporate profits while decimating the environment, human resources, our sense of self-efficacy (the belief that we have the ability to make effective changes in the world around us).
Public participation in Bank Transfer Day means identifying that Jigsaw Renaissance, as an organization, supports people using non-profit, local credit unions instead of for-profit, not-necessarily-local banks. Representatives from Jigsaw Renaissance (including you) would be invited to make a public statement at the rally which begins at 10am at Westlake Park. At the rally, people are invited to shred their bank statements and credit/debit cards, stuffing the shredding into tiny coffins. Tiny coffins will be delivered in a processional, complete with New Orleans-style marching jazz band to various banks around the city.
Credit union representatives from BECU, Salal (formerly Group Health credit union), WESCU and others will be on hand to sign people up for credit union accounts.
Please help me with my project by voting on one of the following options no later than Friday, November 4th at 5pm.

Good news! Google's Graphical Calculator is now 3D & animated!
In December of last year, Google had announced that it had added a graphing calculator to its search results ¾ the answer to their users mathematical search queries.
As explained by Google, their users can now plot Math graphs. Instead of using Wolfram Alpha, users will now be provided with an interactive graph when they search for a Math function or a list of functions separated by commas. Users can now also zoom in and out and pan across the plane, if they want to explore the function in more detail.
Google's new graphing calculator covers an extensive range of single variable functions. This includes trigonometric, exponential, logarithmic and their compositions, which are available in modern browsers. Users can also do a search for [sin(x) from -pi to pi] or add extraneous words like "plot", "graph" to the query (example: [graph ln(x)]).
Now, Google had brought its graphing calculator to a new level with its announcement of its latest addition of an animated and interactive version to their graphing calculator.
At present, if you do a search for certain math equations like [sqrt(x*x+y*y)+3*cos(sqrt(x*x+y*y))+5 from -20 to 20], the Google graphing calculator will return a 3D and animated graphical display, letting you see an animated and 3D search results.
This latest feature does one-up Wolfram Alpha's graphic calculator with its animated free graphs. And it could really be useful for professional SEO and Google users.
This latest search result feature is enabled by a technology called WebGL, which is used by Google in their Search for the first time.

Let $\Omega$ be a non-empty set in ${\mathbb R}^n$ defined by a set of polynomial inequalities with rational coefficients $P_i(x_1, \ldots ,x_n) \gt 0 (1 \leq i\leq m)$ and $Q_j(x_1, \ldots ,x_n) \geq 0 (1 \leq j\leq m')$. Let $F(x_1, \ldots ,x_n)$ be a polynomial with rational coefficients such that $F$ attains its minimum on $\Omega$ at a unique point $(z_1, \ldots ,z_n)$. Does it follow that all the $z_k$ are algebraic over $\mathbb Q$ ?
UPDATE (15 mins later) :since an answer by André Nicolas pointed out that this is a standard fact in model theory, I guess I should rephrase my question as, "Where may I learn more about this" (preferably on the internet ?)

Following on from the comments, here's a version that works with perpendicular line segments. Please use with caution as I haven't tested it thoroughly! This method is much more clunky than @whuber's answer - partly because I'm not a very good programmer, and partly because the vector processing is a bit of a faff. I hope it'll at least get you started if ...
The highest elevation within 10 km is the neighborhood maximum value computed with a circular 10 km radius, so just extract a profile of this neighborhood maximum grid along the trajectory. Example Here is a hillshaded DEM with a trajectory (black line running from bottom to top): This image is approximately 17 by 10 kilometers. I chose a radius of ...
Download and use a plugin called "Profile tool". load your grid load your polyline (layer) run plugin (Plugins/Profile tool/ Terrain profile) in field called "Selection" (below the profile chart) choose "Selected polyline" and choose your line To simply get all grid values along the line switch tab from "Profile" to "Table" and there you can copy all ...
I had the same problem and tried James S' solution, but couldn't get the GDAL to work with Fiona. Then I discovered the SAGA algorithm "Cross Profiles" in QGIS 2.4, and got exactly the result I wanted and that I presume you are looking for too (see below).
For anybody who's interested, here's a modified version of JamesS code creating perpendicular lines using numpy and osgeo libraries only. Thanks to JamesS, his answer helped me a lot today! import osgeo from osgeo import ogr import numpy as np # ############################################################################## # User input # Input shapefile. ...
The "Add layer" button is only for the raster layers. To get the profile for a certain line: activate the line layer (= highlight it in the layer list) activate the profile tool (in the toolbar) click on the line feature on the map
Please look for existing answers prior to asking a question. You can find all the answers and tools for QGIS and GRASS in this existing thread EDIT: But still need a Height Profile? Google Earth maybe has something like this and is also available for Unix/Windows and co.
If you want to duplicate the functionality of the Google Elevation service using your own data, you might want to consider using GDAL. I wrote just such a service and it is very fast. I wrote mine using the C# implementation of GDAL. I had never used GDAL before, but with the sample code provided with the library, it didn't take me very long to figure it out....
If I understood the question right, take a look at r3.cross.rast which creates cross section 2D raster map from 3D raster map based on 2D elevation map. From that 2D map you can generate the area report.
MapQuest has an Elevation Service API you can use (for free). All you need is an API Key. I recommend creating your own graph as their default one is not very aesthetically pleasing.
I have committed changes in the repository that implement the axis. Use this code to install the latest development version: ## install.packages("devtools") devtools::install_github("rastervis", "oscarperpinan") Then, use the new argument axis.margin to enable the axis. f <- system.file("external/test.grd", package="raster") r <- raster(f) ...
It is handled by an esri geoprocessing service, which it is recommended that you update from the old service. The details page mentions plenty of good reference information.
To build the boreholes, I would recommend this tool which is intended to be used with the 3D Analyst extension of ArcGIS for Desktop: You can set the coordinates of the starting points, azimuth and tilt of the borehole, the depth of the layers interfaces, a water level and some related data through bar charts parallel to the borehole axis. http://www....
You don't need a specific add-on programme, look at The Subsurface Geology of Brussels, Belgium, Is Modeled with 3D GIS with 3D Analyst. or Modeling the Terrain Below (3D Borehole tools)
Vince's comment partially answers your problem - your data is in degrees, so the x axis or length is also going to be displayed in degrees rather than meters. However I think you're also confusing what Profile Sampling actually does. It will not change the values or labels of your x axis - that's the length of your line in whatever units of measure your CRS ...
Solution for ArcGis (you will need the 3D analyst extension). 1) Load the .asc file in ArcMap. 2) In the Arctoolbox - > Conversion Tool > From KML to Layer (to transform the KML in a file suitable for ArcGis). The new file automatically loads in ArcMap 3) Right click on your converted road and select "Convert feature to graphics" 4) Select the created ...
Single band gray rasters are usually imported into QGIS with min and max values at 2% and 98% of the data range. If you want several neighbouring rasters to appear in the same grayscale, you have to set the min and max values of all layers manually to the same values in the Style tab of the properties. Alternatively, you can use Styles -> Copy Style and ...
If you know how to do a cross section with heights (using a DEM raster), then you know how to do it with any other variable. All you need to do is convert your data ( the buildings polygons) in raster using the desired field. And then use it in the profile plugin.
A rough and ready approach to this could utilise Excel (or any other spreadsheet package) for the graph component: Create a polygon buffer from a point inside the CBD, when I've done this kind of thing before I've used 100 meter increments; Update the lots data with the buffer value; Define a transect through the city - again, when I've done this before I ...
The units of the graph and how to change them depend on which axis you're looking at. First, the horizontal units are the same as your current map projection. If you are using a Geographic coordinate system, the units will be degrees. If you're using a standard UTM projection, the units will be meters. The only way to change this use a different projection, ...
Ciao, this should be related to filesystem permissions that are missing for the non-admin user. Make sure the current user has RW access rights to the GeoServer data directory whose location can be found by opening the status page of GeoServer itself. Hope that helps, Simone.
If I understand your question correctly you are trying to know, on your DEM profile graph, where the water retention basin starts and ends. Here's a bit of a hacked-together idea: What if you raserized your water retention basin polygon? Then, using the same "cut" that you generated your profile from the DEM, generate a profile for the rasterized basin by ...
The plotting library used to generate the graph is matplotlib. Check your OSGeo4W advanced install section "libs" if matplotlib is installed.
Please update to the latest GRASS GIS 6 version which should address this problem: http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/Release/6.4.3-News
You can use the Official Example https://google-developers.appspot.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/elevation-paths The Code is well documented so should be easy (with javascript knowledge) to use your own paths to calculate values. Takes an array of ElevationResult objects, draws the path on the map and plots the elevation profile on a ...
I have run into this issue in the past, and needed a concrete answer as I was required to document the methodology behind the profile generation for a client. I had found that using an existing shapefile to generate the profile data resulted in highly variable distances between given elevation points, and that when using an interpolated shape (3D analyst - ...

LaGRANGE — Victory was especially sweet for the Black River's boys cross country team as it won its first conference title in 20 years at Saturday's third annual Patriot Athletic Conference meet at the Lorain County Equestrian Center.
Black River placed five runners in the top 10 as it defeated two-time defending champ Buckeye, 23-40.
The Bucks defeated the Pirates in a highly controversial meet last year. In 2006, Buckeye beat Black River via the sixth-runner tiebreaker after the two teams tied at 33.
The controversy involved the Pirates' No. 7 man, Taehyung Kim. The South Korea exchange student became slightly disoriented at the finish line and was allegedly passed by several more runners in the finish chute. As a result, Buckeye won the tiebreaker 15 to 16.
This time around, Black River left nothing to chance.
Seniors Robert Altenburger (17:45) and Brian Bush (17:52) finished 1-2 overall. Senior Dave Kindall (fourth, 18:20), senior Jim Randolph (sixth, 18:34) and freshman Matt Ross (10th, 18:47) also finished in the top 10.
"We had a score to settle,†Altenburger said. "It made us want to win it more. It gave us a little more motivation because we knew we could do it.
"Today was special. I guess this proves we're a force to be reckoned with.â€
Black River last won a league title at the 1987 Firelands Conference meet.
"It would have been nice for our two seniors from last year (Chris Hudak and Scott Krieder) if they could have been around for this,†Black River coach Eric Yetter said. "They were a big part in terms of planting the seed for whole thing. It carried through into this year. We finished what that group started.â€
The significance didn't slip past Yetter.
"We talked about all week how we hadn't done this as a school since 1987,†said Yetter. "I didn't have to say much to get them motivated for this. The task primarily was to stay focused, don't take anything for granted. They saw the writing on the wall.â€
Behind junior Mandy Culley of Westlake, the Lutheran West girls finished second to defending champ Buckeye. The Bucks won their third straight title over the Longhorns, 25-65.
Culley was fourth overall in 21:30 as she finished behind Buckeye's Deven Karr (20:24), Jessie Yagel (21:15) and Leighann Giriunas (21:17). Last year, Culley was only 15th at conference in 22:39.
The Buckeye girls finished the day on top of the world as freshman Karr and Yagel, sophomore Giriunas and senior Julie Kotesovec earned First Team All-Conference honors.
Bucks coach Shirley Van Epp was elated with how her team performed.
"It was awesome; I was so pleased. I said in the beginning of the year that my freshman would play a huge role in our team's performance this year,†Van Epp said. "It was a strong win. It really was a good finish.â€

Former defence minister, Paul Hellyer, who is an outspoken advocate of UFO disclosure, will be the keynote speaker at an event being held by the Party For Truth on January 30 at 8 p.m. at Lee's Place, 529 Bloor Street West, Toronto.
"There will be three live bands," said co-organizer Christoper Russak.
Aside from Hellyer, the other guest speakers at this benefit concert will include historian and UFO researcher, Richard Dolan, who has just released a new book entitled UFOs For The 20th Century Mind and videographer Dan Dicks of Press For Truth, who explores such issues as exposing the global elite, Monsanto's genetically modified foods and chemtrails.
Admission is for those 19 years and older, and costs $20 at the door.
This event is actually a fundraising "kick-off launch party" for an upcoming 2014 Modern Knowledge Tour planned for May 24 to June 15 at a number of locations across Canada, said Russak, that will include major names in ufology.
He hopes to raise a significant amount for the tour because requests for sponsorship from "thousands" of Canadian companies did not pan out.
"Not one of them responded," he said adding that the tour is expected to "costs thousands of dollars to put on."
Although these companies might not want to be associated with an event that explores the issue of UFOs and aliens, Russak said it is time to let people know the truth.
The other organizer for the party and the tour is David Whitehead.
"The idea was born in September of last year," Russak noted due to Whitehead, who hosts Truth Frequency Radio.
"We're passionate about this information and allowing people to explore issues that they normally wouldn't," Russak said.
Although some folk might wonder if the information they might learn could be frightening or if they would be laughed at for even considering the existence of UFOs and aliens he said, "It is time to be brave and explore these issues."
We cannot expect to get the full story from governments or the mainstream media; that's for sure.

"Step inside the creative mind of Los Angeles based artist, CRYPITK, as he shares insight on the essence of his craft, his world, his movement..." - Paley Martin
Art Nouveau: First off, I have to commend you on the multidimensional aspect of your work, not only in medium and subject matter but religious and spiritual symbolism as well. You create with the intention of provoking thought, arising enlightenment, and refreshing the societal consciousness. As a whole, your body of work is considered a "movement." What in terms of your background influenced this belief system that you wish to evoke so strongly within your art? What came first, spirtiuality or art?
CRYPTIK: Many Thanks! I appreciate the kind words. I think I've always been fascinated with the Greater Mysteries; where did we come from, why are we here, where are we going? I'm constantly inspired by ideas that don't necessarily fit into our modern scientific paradigm, from Psi Phenomenon to UFO's to the psychdelic experience. These are just some of the questions that motivate and inspire what I do. Placing art in public is simply my way of sharing all the things I have learned, and continue to learn, along my own spiritual journey.
AN: As the artist with such a bold message, what "change" do you find necessary for your audience and society alike to undertake?
CRYPTIK: I think Mohandas Gandhi said it best, "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." Until we are able to recognize that we are all one epression of the infinite, that there is no separation between you and I or nature, we will only continue to destroy ourselves, and the planet as a whole.
AN: Can you elaborate on your Sacred Syllables project?
CRYPTIK: "Sacred Syllables" was actually the title of my second pop-up show in Little Tokyo, which was an exploration of Buddhist and Hindu mantras, where the "word" was considered sacred and held magical powers.
AN: Thus far, what do you consider the most pivotal point of your career? Was there a certain point in time when you realized that this is what you are meant to be doing?
CRYPTIK: Honestly, I don't have any expectations with what I do. I just like to put things out to the universe and watch things manifest. I genuinely enjoy what I do and I feel blessed that there are people out there who appreciate and overstand what the Movement is all about; I'm just the messenger.
AN: What is your ideal space to create - mentally and physically? Contrary to that, what does your usual workspace consist of?
CRYPTIK: When I'm painting, I like to think of it as a form of meditation...burn some incense, put on some Brainfeeder instrumentals and inhale. As far as space goes, I've always imagined myself painting in a secluded cabin in the woods, next to a lake...fantasies. My garage will have to do for now.
AN: Top five favorite albums?
1. Black Star
2. Nas: Illmatic
3. ATCQ: The Low End Theory
4. DJ Shadow: Entroducing
5. Mighty Crown: Tribute to Volcano
AN: What lies beneath the "CRYPTIK" title? What is it about the factor of mystery that you find so alluring?
CRYPTIK: "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed." - Albert Einstein
AN: What's next in the world of CRYPTIK?
CRYPTIK: I'm really looking forward to taking the Movement on the road this year as part of the "Eastern Philosophy Series" World Tour, traveling to places like Hawaii, Japan, Hong Kong, and South East Asia. I also have a book coming out this summer, which I'm pretty stoked about.

I have been able to download waypoints to DNRGarmin by accessing the GPX file. However, I have only been able to view waypoints.
How can I download tracks?
Within DNR Garmin, you connect the GPS, then make the Track menu option active and select Download. You need saved tracks to begin with and has been used on several varieties of etrex gps units.
EDIT See this thread also.
Correct. With the GPSMap 78 in particular you can no longer use the "Track" or "Waypoints" menus to download data.
The GPS is now visible as an "external" drive. So instead you have to go to File -> Menu -> Load From -> File Navigate to the GPS and select the GPX file. (Change the File Type dropdown option to GPS Exchange Format (*.gpx) first)

The stars are all out twinkling in your favor, and you even feel like making a little wish. You are dressed down to the nines in your favorite little black dress, and your arm is tucked between your handsome honey. You both hop in the car, happy to have this little time to yourselves, ready for an evening of romance and bliss. Of course, this can't happen unless you have the perfect restaurant to begin your evening date. Central Illinois has some romantic hot spots that can make your special night a time to remember.
Biaggis: Champaign, Il
A great first choice is in Biaggis located in Champaign, Illinois. The fine Italian restaurant presents romantic dining spots set for two or larger for groups as well. On the tables set delicious and addicting baskets of homemade bread with a special seasoned olive oil dipping sauce. On the menu you can select from either house-made or imported mouth pleasing pastas, warm and comforting soups, fresh and light salads or entrees that include steaks and chicken. Biaggis also offers a list of wines to making your dining experience just a bit more special. You can order a glass or dine on a bottle to perhaps even take home. For those couples who want to make the evening last just a little bit longer, you can carry home a delightful dessert that will take your palate into the wee hours of the early morning.
Alamo Steakhouse: Mattoon, Il
If you are in Mattoon, Illinois, you can dine at the Alamo Steakhouse. The steakhouse has a couple different flows for your dining experience. The bottom half of the restaurant is made up of a bar area and the upper levels are used for guests who would like to dine outside the bar. The décor is a western yet classic feel that is paired with pleasant and upbeat atmosphere. Begin your dinner date with choice drinks such as margaritas, daiquiris, martinis or draft beers. Non-alcohol drinkers can also enjoy ice teas and soda. For something simple to "hold you over," until dinner is served, snack on appetizers such as quesadillas, mini cheeseburgers or chicken strips. Entree meals include Porterhouse steaks, Angus New York Strip, halibut, lobster and crab or a Yankee pot roast. The steakhouse is open seven days a week for lunch and dinner.
So if the question of where to have a romantic date still hangs in the air, perhaps you may check into one of these fine romantic hot spots. While food and atmosphere enhanced the quality of a romantic night out, it's what the two of you will bring to the table that make it a night to remember.

Burning Palms Movie Reviews
User reviews on Burning Palms
Burning Palms, Christopher Landon's ambitious debut film, is about 5 Los Angeles residents who's stories intertwine as they fall deeper and deeper into their often comedic fates. This film dives into the fragility and desperation of these anonymous LA resident's lives. Shot on a very small budget, the five stories in the film makes it feel like five separate movies put together as one. At the same time, the way the director was able to intertwine each of the stories was brilliant. Currently, the movie is only released in LA and NY, but I have a feeling it will be released nationally soon enough. I am from Los Angeles and every one of these stories touched me because although I could not relate directly to them, there were some aspects of each of the stories that I really felt connected with me.
I really liked Burning Palms it was outrageous at times and it kept me on the edge of my seat. The movie consists of five different stories that unfolds in Los Angeles. My favorite story was "The Green-Eyed Monster" starring Rosamund Pike. It is a story about a lovely women meeting an evil 14 year-old daughter of her fiance. The story is a bit unrealistic but very entertaining and Rosamund Pike gives an excellent performance. She is definitely one of the most talented actresses of our time. I also really liked "This Little Piggy", even though it was a twisted and kind of gross. Robert Hoffman and Jamie Chang give really good performances and draw the audience in. Overall, I thought that the acting in the film was excellent, in the same time it is not a surprise because the director chose brilliant actors. I recommend seeing this movie, you will enjoy the stories and the acting.
Burning Palms is a comedy directed by Christopher B. Landon set in Los Angeles. This movie has almost an infinite amount of stars, such as Zoe Saldana, Jamie Chung and Rosamund Pike and many others. The film explores every stereotype possible and it gets old in my opinion. The acting is very good but there are too many stories and too many famous faces in this film it feels forced and not funny enough. Rosamund Pike is wonderful, I started really liking her after Inglorious Bastards, she is one of those actresses that carry themselves with such a grace in every single film. I loved her in this movie as well, even though her character was a bit stupid in my opinion. I thought the movie was just O.K and I will probably forget about it after a week. I guess it is worth seeing for all the actors in it. Overall I thought the film lacked energy and I could not relate to any situations portrayed in this film.

Geriatric Psychologist Says Video Biographies are a Tool in Treating Dementia
May 08, 2007
"In practical terms, Video Biographies can help a person remember who they are by highlighting very positive experiences," Wyckoff said. "These include accomplishment, relationships, hobbies and talents that they have enjoyed during his or her life."
In reference to strangers such as caregivers, preserved memories can help them understand a person's history, Wyckoff explained, enabling a caregiver to reinforce the patient's personal recollections, thereby enhancing that individual's sense of self.
He said that Video Biographies will further assist caregivers in providing services that otherwise might be resisted such as bathing or perianal care.
Referencing progressive dementia, Dr. Wyckoff said that without frequent reminders of the highlights of one's personal history a person would tend to lose sight of themselves. Citing this as inevitable, he added that Video Biographies can be a significant help in delaying the time when one would lose their sense of identity.
R.J. McHatton, Producer at Inventive Productions, reinforces Dr. Wyckoff's observations: "In successive appointments when we record an older person's life experiences, Video Biographies are a great tool in helping one to recall significant events that they had temporarily forgotten.
"Often, it's a chain effect, where one's particular recollection will trigger another," he added.

How to Clip Hair Extensions into Short Hair
This entry was posted on August 27, 2013.
Prepare Your Natural Hair
First either straighten your hair or if your hair dries straight naturally, part in on the side after it is dry. Having your hair straight will make it easier to apply your Queen Collection hair extensions or your other extensions depending on the hair extensions you recently purchased. Then later you can curl your hair if you'd like. Select hair extensions that match your hair in both color and texture. Create a long, side bang. Grab the tools you'll need:
- - A back-combing comb
- - A few clips to hold hair in sections
- - Flexible hold hairspray
- - Hair extensions with clips in varying sizes
The hair extensions to have varying widths where the clips are sewn in. The length of the top part of the extension should increase as you move up your head. Above the ears, the widest extension should be able to reach all the way across your head, from top of ear to top of ear. Eight pieces are adequate for thin hair, less for thicker hair.
Basic Technique
Pull up all your hair, leaving a small section in the back. Clip up the top hair. You want the part above the small section of hair to be as straight as you can get it. At the top of the down section, use back-comb and back-comb at the part. Spray on a bit of hairspray and clip in your shortest hair extension. Let down the top hair and then pull out another low section about a finger-width above the last part.
Repeat the previous steps, using a hair extension that is slightly wider than the last. Repeat these sections until you reach a finger-width below the top of your ear.
Your widest extension should span from the top of your ear to the top of your other ear and be used now. Part as usual and only backcomb where you put the clips in. Put the clips on either side as close to the ear as possible. This will be your second to last extension.
Next, blend hair over it. In front, cut one extension so that it matches the natural layers of your hair from bangs to end. You'll be adding this to the side of your part that has the most thickness, and it should be wide enough to go only halfway ¼ of the way around your head.
Clip one of the side clips about one inch in from the side of your bang. The other side should be hidden under your hair. Brush to blend and lengthen the look of your side bangs. Adjust clips to hide as needed.
Now Lockettes you should have your Perfect Locks hair extensions in tact. Go out and have some fun!

Program Review Document
Senators discussed the following points regarding program review:
Two copies of the document were sent to the Senators one with changes and the original. The changes include language that explains that the document is and will be modified as the process evolves and as constituents are consulted; it is an iterative document. Other minor language changes were made: "would" instead of could" to illustrate that program review is not mandatory.
The changes on page 9 were suggested by the AS. Any iterance of discontinuation of programs was taken out. Other changes are included 5 a which explains that Program Review should prompt the budgeting and maintenance of programs that are healthy and if programs are struggling, or if these programs need more resources, or need restructuring, the program review process will work to prompt the support of appropriate resources. Changes in section 5.a.1. explains that the people involved in program review, the program participants, will determine what their program is, what they want to achieve, what data they want to use to prove what they have done and they will also determine whether they have reached their goals.
Senator Sutherland requests that the language be changed to reflect a more positive tone. Instead of "to determine that a program is not meeting its goals" it could read "to determine that a program is meeting its goals."
The AS should consider developing a Memorandum of Understanding with the board that would prevent unilateral control of cutting programs with no faculty input. An MOU will work to stop arbitrary discontinuation of programs by establishing set criteria.
A State AS position paper cautions local senates about the misuse of program review; it should not be used to cut of programs.
VP suggests that the document be sent out with a statement to all faculty before the convocation explaining the nature of program review at CoM.
Program review can shine light on programs that are healthy and growing; faculty need to understand that program review can be and should be designed & used to nurture programs.
Senator Fearnley recommended that we have convocation go to faculty and present them with issues we are facing now in program review
Senator Woodlief moved to approve the Program Review document as amended with the contingency that the AS has the right to review the document and remove approval in the future if the document is no longer acceptable.
· Motion adopted unanimously
Senator Kelly moved that Program Review document state that Program Review will not be used to justify discontinuation or termination of programs.
· Motion adopted unanimously
Meeting adjourned at 1:59 pm

Have you tried it?What's your opinion ,please?
Note that i smell Lavender and Incence very strong in it!!!This scent is sweet-buttery and very woody musky in basenotes,too!
My sale thread :http://www.basenotes.net/search.php?searchid=2281122
"There are people of spirit and there are people of passion but much less common that one might think. Rarer still are the people of passion and spirit. But rarest of all is a passionate spirit."
-- Martin Buber
I have tried it and liked it, although I should really revisit it, that was quite a while ago. I remember it as a soft, smooth and slightly leathery amber, very pleasant, something of a skin scent.
I smell lots of flowers as cyclamens and violets in a musky accord.
Interesting....I think of this as a sweet floral vetiver scent, but there is also a soft woody oriental base to it. Hard to pin down the notes. But it's one of my favorites.
It has sweet and citrusy elements but unfortunately also something that turns bitter on my skin. I ended up not really liking it.
Any other thoughts on this one? I received a sample in the male. I am completely baffled by its gender. I am starting to think it sways more to the fem side. Not that it matters but, its almost too sweet for me to pull off. A very lovely fragrance indeed.
Is the juice worth the squeeze?

Looking back at 2012 you can see despite the heavy July/August rains most of NWFL ended up well below average. Much of the area ending up a foot below average!
During a typical January we 'bottom out' as far as our lowest average high and low. For Panama City our average high is around 62 and our low 40.
According to the Climate Prediction Center January will continue the trend of above average temperatures. The encouraging thing is they also think we have an a above average chance of above average precipitation.
Time will tell, but looking at our 7 Day Outlook every day except Thursday (1/3) is at or slightly above average and looking at deeper into next week we could see temps back into the 70s!
We will of course keep you posted on the very latest. As always do not hesitate to contact me if you ever have any questions.
Thanks for watching and have blessed new year.

Whalers Come Back Twice, Lose to Saginaw, 6-5Jan 09, 2013 - 18:58 EST
Photo - Matt Mistele led the Whalers attack with two goals and two assists Wednesday in Saginaw. Photo by Rena Laverty.
SAGINAW - Nick Moutrey's goal at 15:05 of the third period snapped a 5-5 tie and the Saginaw Spirit defeated the Plymouth Whalers 6-5, in an Ontario Hockey League game played Wednesday before 2,354 at Dow Event Center in Saginaw.
Plymouth has their four-game winning streak snapped as is now 19-13-5-3, good for 46 points and five points behind first place Sarnia (now 24-14-0-3, 51 points), who lost, 3-1, to Sault Ste. Marie on Wednesday.
Saginaw has won three games in a row and is 18-19-3-2, good for 41 points and fourth place in the OHL West.
Besides Moutrey's game-winner at 13th of the year, Saginaw got two goals and an assist from first star Justin Kea (14-15), two goals from Gregg Sutch (2-3) and a goal and an assist from Erie Locke (24).
The Whalers were led offensively by second star Matt Mistele, who scored two goals (18-19) with two assists. The Whalers also received a goal and an assist each by Mitchell Heard (2), Connor Carrick (8) and Tom Wilson (12).
Plymouth came from behind twice in the game, from an early 3-0 hole in the first period and to tie the game at 4-4 in the second period. The Whalers tied the game again at 5-5 in the third period.
Alex Nedeljkovic started in goal for Plymouth, but was lifted in the first period after Saginaw scored three goals in a span of 2:06 - Sutch (shot from the right circle at 2:15), Locke (rebound from the lower rim of the left circle at 2:56) and Kea (backhand from the lower rim of the right circle at 4:21). Nedeljkovic faced five shots and made two saves in 4:21.
Matt Mahalak went the rest of the way in goal for Plymouth, stopping 21-of-24 shots over 54:45.
The goaltending change seemed to work for the Whalers for a time and Heard scored on backhand at the right hashmark at 8:50 and Carrick scored on a redirect on a Plymouth power play at 15:31 to cut the Saginaw lead to 3-2. But Kea restored the two-goal Saginaw lead with a goal at 19:14 and the Spirit led, 4-2, after one period.
The Whalers responded immediately in the second period to tie the game at 4-4. Mistele scored at 0:52, taking the puck away from Spirit goaltender Jake Paterson behind the Saginaw goal and stuffing the puck into the net on a wraparound. Mistele then tied the game at 4-4, deflecting Heard's shot from the right circle. The puck caromed off Paterson's shoulder and into the net.
Saginaw re-took the lead at 5-4 at 8:19 of the period, with Locke skating wide-left wing into the Plymouth zone and feeding the puck out in front to Sutch, who made no mistake with the shot.
Saginaw led, 5-4, after forty minutes.
The Whalers carried the play through the first half of the third period, outshooting Saginaw, 8-1, over the first ten minutes of the period. Wilson scored a spectacular goal at 9:40 of the period to tie the game at 5-5. Wilson carried the puck deep into the Saginaw zone on the right wing, cut across the Spirit blue crease and scored on a back hand.
But Kea set up the eventual game winner for Saginaw, moving to the lower rim of the right circle in Whalers territory and feeding out in front to Moutrey, who scored at 15:08 to give Saginaw a 6-5 lead.
The Whalers had one final opportunity to try to tie when Spirit defenseman Jason Shaw was penalized for tripping at 18:23. Mahalak was pulled with a minute left and Plymouth pressured but could not find the equalizer.
Heard received the first Whalers penalty of the game with 5.9 seconds remaining. The penalty meant the ensuing faceoff was taken in the Plymouth zone. Plymouth head coach Mike Vellucci called a time-out and diagrammed a play, but time ran out.
Plymouth outshot Saginaw, 34-29.
The Whalers are home this weekend, hosting Brampton on Friday and Erie on Saturday at Compuware Arena. Both game start at 7:05 pm.

UMass beat writer Matt Vautour of the Daily Hampshire Gazette has a nice piece on freshman Demetrius Dyson and his emergence into the rotation for the Minutemen.
AMHERST -- Demetrius Dyson said he wasn't nervous when Derek Kellogg sent him into the game with 9 minutes, 45 seconds left in the first half of Sunday's win over Youngstown State.
The University of Massachusetts freshman immediately drew the assignment of guarding Kendrick Perry, the Penguins' leading scorer.
Seven minutes later, Dyson came out of the game. He wasn't perfect. He missed two 3-pointers and cut the wrong way leading to a Chaz Williams turnover. But Perry didn't score during that stretch.
"I'm trying to come in and play defense. I wasn't focused on scoring, I was just focused making sure he didn't score and hurt us," Dyson said. "I knew Chaz and Cady (Lalanne) were having great games. I wasn't coming in trying to be a superstar, just to fulfill my role and lock this person down."

MYSTERY OF CONSTELLATION: CONCERTO FOR GUITAR AND CHAMBER ORCHESTRA by Steven Michael Gates ____________________________________________ A Dissertation Presented to the FACULTY OF THE THORNTON SCHOOL OF MUSIC UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS (COMPOSITION) December 2009 Copyright 2009 Steven Michael Gates

|Mystery of Constellation is a three-movement work for solo guitar and chamber orchestra. The orchestra is scored for a small string section and five winds: flute (doubling on alto flute), oboe (doubling on English horn), Bb clarinet (doubling on bass clarinet), bassoon, and horn.; A chief concern when writing a guitar concerto is the issue of balance between the soloist and the orchestra. My solution to this was to frequently create a registral space in the orchestra in which the guitar can reside alone, and therefore be more easily heard. Although there are a few sections where the guitarist plays alone, the orchestra frequently plays with the soloist.; The harmonic and melodic language of the piece is derived partly from the natural resonance of the guitar. A quartal-sounding four-note cell (0257) frequently exerts its presence throughout the piece, both at a surface and structural level. Lastly, I often created pitch collections that are "octave-specific." C natural, for example, may be present in the collection below D4, but in higher octaves C is actually sharp, creating a conflict with the C naturals found in lower octaves. The use of "non-octaving" scales provided a means of creating a specific sound world that seemed appropriate for this piece.; The first movement, "Heliacal Rising," is a brash, often loud, nervous exposition. A short, jabbing two-note motive in the orchestra alternates with more contemplative arpeggios in the guitar part. The brief second movement, "Scanning the Black Dome," utilizes the "pizzicato" playing technique on the guitar, which involves muting the string with the pad of the player's right thumb. The orchestral writing is quite sparse, with the exception of two brief ecstatic, celebratory sections. A poem titled "Hypotheses" by John Terpstra provided a fruitful mental image as I composed this movement. The final movement, "Astrolabe," offers the guitarist an opportunity to display his or her virtuosity. The string writing in the orchestra is equally demanding. The underlying harmonic motion is quite slow, indeed static at times. The surface motion, however, is often very fast. Much of the music that the late-Baroque period left us, particularly Vivaldi's, provided a point of reference for me to draw from.

Morning Haze, Death Valley. Death Valley National Park, California. March 30, 2011. © Copyright 2013 G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
Distant snow-covered peaks are barely visible across the vast space of Death Valley in hazy morning light
This photograph was made from Dantes View, high in the mountains along the eastern border of Death Valley itself, and with a commanding, panoramic view of a huge portion of the surrounding terrain and especially down into Death Valley and the Badwater area almost right beneath the peak. The view here looks roughly north or northwest, past the location of Furnace Creek and beyond the Mesquite Dunes area to the far northern end of the Valley and then beyond to distant snow-covered peaks.
I have written before that Dantes View has been a difficult place for me to photograph. At first glance, the location has a lot going for it. At about a mile above the Valley floor below, the views encompass a huge area of interesting terrain, ranging from the lowest reaches of Death Valley itself to the 11,000+" Telescope in the Panamint Range to other features so distant that they often fade into the haze. But for me these same features make it very difficult to pick out anything that can draw the larger components of the scene together. There have been times when I have gone there with the intention of photographing, gotten out, looked around, been impressed by the location, and made no photographs at all. This time I mostly shot details of the Valley using a very long lens, but I thought that the shadows of the passing clouds brought enough relieve to the uniformity of the Valley to make this photograph, which I hope conveys some sense of the scale of the place.

The cups come thick and fast at this point in the season. It's great to watch teams scramble for position as the knock out rounds make everything look very cut-throat. It's nice to prepare some people for the tragedy at the end of the season. The pod goes through all the results in the Champions League and Europa League to start the podcast.
Transitioning back to Britain and the first Wembley excitement starts this weekend. The Carling Cup. Does it get any better? Well from here on in, yes: Cardiff face Liverpool in an inter table battle or both club and country. Matt see the irony in hosting the Welsh capital.
Of course some football also happens this weekend in the EPL, so enjoy our short but sharp preview of the vital games to see. Tweet along with the matches or tweet along with the podcast and give us your views for the next show:

On Friday my twitter friends @Modenus @tkpleslie and @designmilk (Veronika Miller, Leslie Carothers and Jaime Derringer respectively) were chatting about the somewhat unrealistic expectations people have of what twitter or blogs can do for them and that it should be seen as more of a showcase of your perspective, skills and projects.
I couldn't agree more! When I looked to set up my own blog it was about connecting with people, communicating about all sorts of things (including some of my projects) and pulling together a great list of my favourite blogs so others could be inspired by them too. I love writing for my blog and being able to connect with others but again I want to quote my friends when it comes to the importance of life offline to your business.
Veronika (@Modenus) posted on twitter:
I couldn't agree more! In March alone I have trips planned to Hong Kong, Shanghai and Russia so that I can meet suppliers, licensees and new partners face to face. Though it is really tiring travelling abroad it is really important to be there for the beginning of a project or business relationship because not only is it exciting but it's really nice to mark the occasion.
For me Trade shows like Maison & Objet in Paris are important when showcasing new product, they are where buyers and press assemble to find the next big thing and to assemble the trends of the season.
But mostly I love meeting my retailers, it makes the process more personal, I can fully brief them on my inspiration tell them how the collection works together etc so that we are all on the same page. The retailers are an extension of my brand.
It's also great hearing what people think about the collections and seeing people's reactions because when you work so hard and over an extended period of time on a collection seeing it in situ and talking about it is wonderful….the hard work is worth it!
Since Maison & Objet Show in Paris is a trade show and not everyone is able to attend I made sure to get a few images posted on my Facebook and I even put up a YouTube video so everyone could see what my stand looked like and the projects I've been working on. Her are a few of those pictures…I can't wait to hear what you think of it!
In the meantime as great as twitter is for chatting with amazing people around the world nothing beats taking those relationships offline and meeting them in person so I hope I'll be able to meet my twitter friends in person soon.

March 20, 2012
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. – Aubree Cristello has been recognized by the Pacific-12 Conference as Gymnast of the Week for the week of Mar. 12-18 Commissioner Larry Scott announced today.
Cristello, a junior from Glenville, NY, won the all-around by tying her career high score of 39.475. Her scores from the meet contributed to the Wildcats' season high score of 196.525 and first place victory over Bridgeport (192.575), Utah State (192.975), and the Air Force Academy (192.175) in last Friday's meet. To put into perspective how much she contributed, without Cristello's performances, the team would've put up a score of 195.200 – almost a point and a half lower than the actual score posted.
Cristello proved to be a powerhouse for the team on each event, earning event titles on vault and floor with scores of 9.875 and 9.925, and made significant contributions on both the bars (9.850) and beam (9.825), placing second and third, respectively.
Cristello's score of 9.925 on floor marker her ninth total score of 9.90 or better, and her eighth score this season. Because Cristello posted this score, Arizona has now completed 11 consecutive meets with at least one score of 9.90 or better this year.
These scores also place Cristello in the Arizona Gymnastics record books to take the ninth best all-around performance in Arizona history, as well as rank her No. 14 in the nation.
Cristello's Gymnast of the Week Award is her second (GOW the week of Feb. 8, 2011), and is Arizona's first this season.
This coming Saturday the Cats will look to leadership from Cristello once again, as they prepare to compete in the inaugural Pac-12 Championships set to be held at the University of Utah on March 24.
Also Nominated:
Gymnast of the Week: Leslie Mak, OSU, Corrie Lorthrop, Utah; Lauren Rogers, WASH.
Special Performance of the Week: Katie Matusik, ARIZ; Kelsi Blalock, OSU; Ruby Engreitz, WASH.
2012 Pac-12 Gymnasts of the Week: Jan. 10 Samantha Peszek, UCLA; Jan. 17 Leslie Mak, OSU; Jan. 24 Samantha Peszek, UCLA; Jan. 31 Ruby Engreitz, Wash; Feb. 7 Corrie Lothrop, Utah; Feb. 14 Leslie Mak, OSU; Feb. 21 Makayla Stambaugh, OSU; Feb. 28 Vanessa Zamarripa, UCLA; Mar. 6 Nicole Pechanec, STAN; Mar. 13 Samantha Peszek, UCLA; Mar. 20 Aubree Cristello, ARIZ

James E. Rogers, the CEO and President of Duke Energy, was the invited lecturer for the 2nd Annual Schultz Lectureship Series, funded by the generosity of John H. and Cynthia H. Schultz. Dean David Getches introduced James Rogers to a full house yesterday evening as, "not typical nor predictable." As newly re-elected CEO of the 3rd largest emitter of carbon, Rogers strongly believes in a commitment to the environment. His lecture began with a hope that there will be greater understanding about the way toward energy efficiency in the 21st century, which should include the use of solar, wind, and nuclear power.
His solution encompasses affordability and reliability of electricity and energy efficiency. "It can be achieved by modernizing and decarbonizing the generational supply of electricity in our country while making communities more energy efficient." He is delighted about the U.S. House of Representatives passing the Waxman-Markey Bill that would incentivize companies to become more energy efficient. The bill would cap greenhouse gas emissions and put a price on carbon.
Throughout the lecture, Rogers advocated for energy efficiency NOW. "Energy efficiency must be 'cathedral thinking' based on a common vision, faith the project can be completed, and a commitment, but it must be implemented on 'China time'."

Calm Waters Hide a Risky Undercurrent
CERNOBBIO, Italy—Who wouldn't be in a good mood in the 16th-century Villa d'Este, overlooking the calm waters of Lake Como? My companions for the weekend—an assortment of politicians, economists and investors—certainly felt pretty good about life.
Gathered in this Northern Italian town for the annual symposium of Ambrosetti SpA, a management consultancy, influential Europeans such as Jean-Claude Trichet, the former European Central Bank chief, Herman Van Rompuy, head of the European Council, and Joaquín Almunia, vice president of the European Commission, were relieved that the sovereign-debt crisis appeared to be behind them.
Their feelings, coupled with investors' sanguine attitudes toward markets in the European Union and the U.S., mark a puzzling moment in the evolution of those economic blocs. Both the EU and the U.S. are, for different reasons, in a ho-hum period of their recovery from the 2008 financial crisis. But investors don't seem to care and seemingly are taking a cue from McDonald's Corp.: They are loving it.
During my weekend on the lake, I set out to find out whether such optimism is salubrious or delusional.
Twelve months ago, Villa d'Este was a much gloomier place, its corridors echoing with worries over cracks in the euro and possible defaults by its members.
This time, "the mood is much less negative. A real sea-change," one of the organizers said.
European capital markets concur. The Stoxx 600 index of European stocks is up more than 12% in the past 12 months and more than 40% since the depths of the euro crisis in 2011. The spread between the bonds of Italy and Germany—a measure of investors' jitters over the former—is around half of what it was two years ago.
Inside the villa, people spoke proudly of the fact that last week's summit of the Group of 20 in St. Petersburg, Russia, had passed without significant mentions of Europe's problems.
Some industrialists even pointed to improvements in the real economy. Nani Beccalli-Falco, General Electric Co.'s head of Europe, told me that orders for the region are reaching levels last seen four years ago.
In the U.S., meanwhile, markets were pondering Friday's release of unemployment numbers. At first glance, the figures didn't provide a clear answer for the Federal Reserve's dilemma over when and how to cut back on its bond-buying program.
In reality, though, there is little mystery about the direction of economic policy in both the EU and the U.S. The question is whether that will be positive or negative for markets.
In the U.S., the Fed will indeed announce a reduction of its bond purchases either next week or next month. The markets realize that and have already reacted, notably by pushing the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasurys toward 3%.
Stock market bulls draw strength from the belief that a rate increase is unlikely for several months and that stocks still aren't grossly overpriced.
Their argument—that a Fed "tapering" is a sign that the U.S. economy is expanding at a healthy pace—is winning the day. It is, however, a fragile equilibrium that could be upset by any sign of accelerated monetary tightening, an external shock such as Syria, or an internal issue such as the coming fight over the debt ceiling.
In Europe, the proverbial "green shoots" of a recovery are still below ground. In 2013, the euro zone will contract by 0.6% according to a compendium of economic forecasts compiled by Ambrosetti. Next year should see growth of less than 1%, well below the U.S., and Japan.
Gardening enthusiasts recommend talking to plants to aid their growth. But it is hard to think that all this chatter about Europe's green shoots will quicken the glacial pace of its recovery.
The quid pro quo that once seemed possible—help from Germany to more-troubled countries in exchange for austerity measures—has foundered on politicians' inability to sell it to their respective electorates.
And the ECB, which gave confidence to investors in their moment of need, appears unwilling or unable to do much more.
Markets seem oblivious to this impasse. The manager of a large fund explained it thus: "For a while, nobody wanted anything to do with Europe. Now they fear missing out on the snapback. I have people out of the door asking to put more money into Europe."
That may be wise in the long term. In the short run, though, European markets are at the mercy of a calendar that includes German elections, an EU-wide vote for the European Parliament and a fresh round of bank "stress tests."
Unlike the placid surface of Lake Como, choppy waters are ahead for U.S. and European investors.
