Army's Brian Bancroft
July 7, 2014
From West Point Athletic Communications
WEST POINT, N.Y. - Brian Bancroft has been named acting head coach for the Army track & field and cross country programs, Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Boo Corrigan announced on Monday.
Bancroft, in his second season at Army following eight years at Texas A&M, will oversee the programs while a national search for a new head coach is conducted.
Troy Engle, who recently completed his sixth season supervising both programs, is departing the U.S. Military Academy to pursue an opportunity as the Director of Coach Development for the Singapore Sports Institute.
"We all want to thank Troy for his work as the head coach for our cross country and indoor and outdoor track and field programs," said Corrigan. "He has laid the groundwork for success in the coming years. We wish Troy, his wife Katrina, and the kids the very best in their new adventure."
Bancroft, who coached the throwers last season at Army, is a 1993 Texas A&M graduate. He spent eight seasons on the staff at his alma mater, most recently serving as Team Administrator, where he was responsible for administrative duties covering budget, scheduling, team travel, recruiting and event management.
As a student at Texas A&M, Bancroft was a four-year member of Squadron 7 in the Corps of Cadets in the ROTC program. Athletically, he competed in the decathlon for the Aggies' track and field program in 1992 and 1993.
"We will start on a national search to find the very best fit for Army West Point and our cadets," said Corrigan. "We owe them nothing less."

Did Nick cut himself? No, he got cut from punches. Noons even dropped him in the fight. Nick kept shooting for takedowns and did that butt scooting shit on the ground. It kind of looked like he really wanted the fight to go to the ground.
so all those guys aren't good fighters?....
Some of the guys you listed are pretty much LWs (though, I still give him plenty of praise for Gomi). Neer even lost to Nick's brother. Cyborg is highly inconsistent, and just not that good. Daley is alright, but has trouble making weight and fighting intelligently.
like Dan Hardy?...
Hardy had a 7-fight win streak at the time, or if you don't count the DQ loss, then he was on a 12-fight win streak. He didn't look bad at the time. If I'm naming GSP's good wins, then no, I probably wouldn't list Hardy, but I sure as hell wouldn't list guys like Neer, Tibau, or Cyborg either.
It's been well over 4 years since GSP put himself in a position to finish.
5 fights. 2 of which he got injured during, but still kept on dominating anyways. 1 where many guys would have tapped. Another where he put the other guy out of action for 9 months. The other was Condit (who beat Nick) and also, Condit hasn't been finished in nearly 7 years. Those guys aren't easy to finish. Shields has only been finished once in the past about 12 years. Kos has only been finished 3 times in his career and you could argue the 2 most recent ones were early stoppages. Hardy went about 5 and a half years without getting finished when he faced GSP. Oh, but let's get on GSP because he didn't finished guys who are rather difficult to finish. Hendo not only couldn't finish Shields, but also lost to him, but let's get on a one-eyed GSP for not finishing him. Diaz lost to Condit, but let's get on GSP because he didn't finish Condit.
- I understand he is being smart...but at some point it's a timed sport now....and the main priority should be trying to end the fight....
Should Leonard Garcia win every fight that goes to a decision just because he throws a bunch of wildass haymakers that could potentially end the fight if they landed squarely?
that's why I said GSP is better at scoring points....Nick is a better fighter.
How is Nick a better fighter? You didn't say why. Why is fighting intelligently a bad thing to you? What, you think every fighter should fight the way you want them to fight? It doesn't work that way. You're basically saying: "I don't like how GSP fights therefor Nick is a better fighter." You don't base how good a fighter is by how much he entertains you. If you want to say Nick is a more entertaining fighter, then fine, you won't hear an argument from me.
In a Pride rules event GSP would not have won fighting the way he does.
WTF? GSP dominates the hell out of his opponents. How in the flying jumpkick f
ck would his opponents win under Japanese rules? You think there haven't been any kind of wrestlers/grapplers to win over in Japan? That's funny, I can watch someone like Kawajiri do less than what GSP does and win easy. What is with Diaz fans....

On Friday, Jan. 31 it was reported that the Buffalo Sabres could be without forward Matt Moulson until sometime after the Winter Olympic break, in which the NHL will resume play from on Feb. 25.
The Sabres have four games remaining before the break, which starts on Feb. 7.
Moulson suffered the injury with 6:05 remaining in the Sabres 3-2 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes on Jan. 30 when he was slashed on the arm and then shoved by Coyotes captain Shane Doan and fell awkwardly into the boards.
Moulson was acquired by the Sabres on Oct. 27 along with two draft picks in a trade that sent co-captain Thomas Vanek to the New York Islanders.
In 40 games with the Sabres since the trade, Moulson has nine goals and 15 assists for 24 points, while also recording 16 penalty minutes and a minus-10 rating.
Including his totals from the first 11 games with the Islanders this season, Moulson currently leads the Sabres in goals (15) and points (33) in 51 games this season. His 18 assists rank him second on the team to defensemen Christian Ehrhoff's 19.
Due to the loss of Moulson from the Sabres lineup, Coach Ted Nolan said Brian Flynn will see time in Moulson's place on a line with Zemgus Girgensons and Tyler Ennis.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 4 out of 5 by KQHshopper Great look. I ordered 2 of these to go with the owl lamps also sold be world market. They complement each other quite well. They were maybe just a tad more expensive than I ideally would have liked, but not too much. They also seemed a bit smaller in person than I estimated based on the measurements provided online.

CHICAGO (Ivanhoe Broadcast News) -- Nearly 350,000 Americans suffer from multiple sclerosis, a disease that strikes women twice as often as men. Some treatments are available for this crippling disease, but all require injections. Now a common diabetes drug could be the latest breakthrough for MS.
Eight-month-old Mariana has just arrived from Guatemala. Her adoptive mother, Marjorie Fujara, is ready for the challenges of motherhood, but at age 41, Marjorie faces a more serious challenge.
Eight years ago, doctors diagnosed Marjorie with multiple sclerosis. "It was devastating," she says. "My mother was diagnosed with MS and had a very aggressive course with hers."
Marjorie's mother died from MS after 12 years. Today, she is in a trial to test a new treatment -- a drug that is used for diabetes.
Neuroscientist Douglas Feinstein, Ph.D., of University of Illinois at Chicago, says, "The relationship between type 2 diabetes and multiple sclerosis -- there probably isn't any really strong correlation, and it's just a serendipitous discovery that we came across."
The drug pioglitazone is known to type 2 diabetes patients as Actos. Lab studies with the drug for MS look encouraging. If the study results continue to show promise, pioglitazone could become the first treatment for MS taken in pill form, eliminating the need for injections.
So far, things are looking good for Marjorie. Her symptoms are not flaring up as often, and she has no side effects. "Just knowing there are people -- bright, dedicated researchers out there -- really gives me a lot of hope," she says.
This new drug trial for ms is nearly half over. Researchers at the University of Illinois expect to release the results in the spring of 2006. Researchers around the world are also testing this same drug for the treatment of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

Preventing Workplace Violence
Preventing workplace violence … Hope for the best, but plan for the worst. Use these violence prevention strategies to identify 8 warning signs of violent employee behavior, access 2 examples of a sound workplace violence policy and learn how YOUR management style can stop workplace violence before it erupts…
Make workplace safety a core part of your management strategy and policy planning. Use our workplace violence prevention strategies, sample policies and screening advice to keep your most valuable capital – your workers – safe and violence free.
Workplace violence is a serious problem that all employers must be prepared to address. Issues include analyzing what incidents are likely to trigger violence in the workplace; whether workplace violence policies can apply to verbal threats; what to do in cases of actual fighting or physical violence; and even outside events like domestic violence situations.
Nearly 2 million U.S. workers are victims of workplace violence each year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Last year, 506 employees were slain at work.Don't let your organization add to those sobering statistics. To reduce the chance of workplace violence—or your liability if it does happen—follow these 11 guidelines:
Some employees are simply difficult to manage. They start arguments and may see harassment or discrimination everywhere. But sometimes they cross a line, implying they could get violent. How you handle their complaints can spell the difference between winning and losing a lawsuit.

Do I Pay Taxes on All of an Inherited Annuity or Just the Gain?
Original post by Jeff Franco of Demand Media
When you inherit investments or other property from someone who has died, including annuities that appreciate in value, the federal government doesn't require you to pay income tax at the time you receive it. However, there will be income-tax implications once you begin receiving distributions from the decedent's annuity. But you will only pay tax on the portion of the distribution that represents gain.
Alternative Annuity Treatment
Federal tax law generally allows you to receive a "stepped-up" basis in all property you inherit from a decedent. This means that you calculate your capital gain on the sale of your inheritance using the fair market value of the property as of the person's date of death as your tax basis. However, the IRS treats the inheritance of an annuity differently than most other types of property. The difference is that your tax basis is the same as the decedent's, meaning it's not stepped-up, and the gain or income you receive is subject to ordinary rather than capital-gains tax rates.
Guaranteed Payment Annuities
Some annuities provide beneficiaries with a guaranteed payment amount in exchange for a fixed contribution. If you inherit this type of annuity, the distributions you receive are not taxable until you recover the decedent's entire annuity investment back. For example, if the decedent pays $25,000 for an annuity contract that guarantees future income of $50,000; the first distribution that is taxable to you occurs after the cumulative payments that you and the decedent receive reach $25,000. Every distribution you receive thereafter is taxable income.
Lump-Sum Payouts
Other types of annuities provide the beneficiary with a lump-sum payout amount in the event the decedent dies before receiving their first annuity payment. If you receive this type of payment as a result of an annuity the decedent purchases, the lump-sum payment is tax-free up to the amount of the decedent's cost. However, the excess is taxable income to you in the year you receive it.
Decedent's Employer-Provided Annuity
When the decedent designates you as the beneficiary of an employer-provided annuity, the tax treatment is different than the private annuities you inherit. The IRS imposes the same tax obligations on you that would apply to the decedent if still living and receiving the annuity payments. This requires that you include in taxable income the portion of each annuity payment you receive that exceeds the decedent's contribution, or tax basis. For example, if the decedent's total contribution to the annuity was $10,000 and it entitles him or his beneficiary to receive 10 annual payments of $5,000; the taxable portion of each annual payment you receive is $4,000 since the $1,000 is a recovery of the decedent's contribution.

Blagojevich: 'Not Guilty,' Not Going Anywhere
Yeah. His press conference went pretty much as expected.
Rod Blagojevich took to the podium today to address the ongoing controversy over allegations that he tried to sell Barack Obama's Senate seat. The hair was in full effect, as was the tough-talking Illinois-politician bravado.
"I'm here to tell you right off the bat that I am not guilty of any criminal wrongdoing, that I intend to stay on the job, and I will fight this thing every step of the way. I will fight I will fight I will fight until I take my last breath. I have done nothing wrong. And I'm not going to quit a job the people hired me to do."
He went on to quote the poem "If" by Rudyard Kipling. "I have on my side the most powerful ally there is, and it's the truth," Blago said. "And besides, I have the personal knowledge that I have not done anything wrong." He asked the people of Illinois to "please reserve judgment" and afford him "the same rights that you and your children have, the presumption of innocence." He took no questions, did not indicate how he planned to work with a rebelling Illinois legislature, and stormed off stage immediately after speaking.

I am absolutely impressed by the Sasuke Uchiha and Dream Drop Distance Riku Vest I ordered cosplay I ordered. Even though I did not wear the pants, everything fit perfectly. It arrived way before I needed it, which is awesome, and I had no issues when it came to it being comfortable. The collar was nice and stiff, but not too stiff (which is perfection, really) The purple rope, to this day, has not unraveled, has not ripped (especially since I admit i was rough with it), or done any of the sort. I did not need the pants since I was doing Female Sasuke. The pants,however, I wear as casual clothing. They are comfortable and warm. The pockets are nice and deep so I can put my phone and wallet in them with out falling out.

I bought the Riku Dream Drop Distance vest from CosplayFu.com! :D

For all of you aspiring writers, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. This Spring, North Hills Museum in Granville Ferry will be hosting a three day writer's workshop featuring Charlotte Gray. Those of us associated with the museum are very excited about this announcement. Charlotte Gray is one of Canada's most respected non-fiction writers. Her writing presents complex historical personalities and events in a clear and readable form. We are thrilled to have a writer of this caliber coming to our site.
This is the second year for writer's workshops at North Hills Museum. Last year we had a very successful launch to this program when we hosted award winning novelist Donna Morrissey. We hope that this year's participants learn and have as much fun as last year's did.
To whet your non fiction writing appetite, the following is Charlotte Gray's official biographical blurb.
"Charlotte Gray is one of Canada's best-known and highly respected non-fiction writers. Her most recent book is Nellie McClung, a short biography of Canada's leading women's rights activist in the Penguin Series, Extraordinary Canadians. Her 2006 bestseller, Reluctant Genius: The Passionate Life and Inventive Mind of Alexander Graham Bell, won the Donald Creighton Award for Ontario History and the City of Ottawa Book Award. It was also nominated for the Nereus Writers' Trust Non-Fiction Prize, the National Business Book Award and the Trillium Award. Her previous five books, which include Sisters in the Wilderness, The Lives of Susanna Moodie and Catharine Parr Traill, Flint & Feather, The Life and Times of E. Pauline Johnson and A Museum Called Canada, were all award-winning bestsellers. In 2004 Charlotte was the advocate for Sir John A. Macdonald in the CBC series: The Greatest Canadian.
Charlotte was born in England, and came to Canada in 1979. She holds a BA in Modern History from Oxford University, did post-graduate work at the London School of Economics and has honorary doctorates from Mount St. Vincent University, Nova Scotia, the University of Ottawa, Queen's University and York University. An Adjunct Research Professor in the Department of History at Carleton University, she is the 2003 Recipient of the Pierre Berton Award for distinguished achievement in popularizing Canadian history, and vice-chair of the board of the Canadian National History Society. Charlotte lives in Ottawa, has three sons and is a member of the Order of Canada."
The workshop will be held at North Hills Museum and will run from June 12-14. The cost of $200 per person includes lunches and nutrition breaks. For anyone interested in registering for the workshop, please email for the site at email@example.com or call 902-532-2168. Please remember that space is very limited for this event.
All for now,

Celebrating the Science of Eating, New Jersey College, Ewing
Powdered dressings, popcorn ice cream and gels entertain and feed students during science-themed event.

Classic Buffalo sauce gets gelified during the event.
From Mrs. Dash Foodservice.
There was a time when healthy food meant counting calories, omitting carbs, giving up sugar and going fat-free—in other words, it was all about deprivation.
But not anymore. Today's definition of healthy means an overall focus on nutrition and wellness that doesn't mean giving up enjoyment. It's all about balance: good fats, healthy carbs, better sweeteners, wholesome ingredients and satisfying flavor enhancements. It means food that customers can feel good about, at the same time that they're enjoying the dining experience.
According to...
Aramark today announced a partnership with celebrity chef and TV personality Cat Cora that will put a new concept from the Top Chef star in Aramark's North American business-and-industry accounts.
The new fast-casual concept, called Olilo by Cat Cora, promises a healthy, made-your-way menu, according to the global foodservice provider.
"By bringing together Chef Cora's award-winning brand and healthy cooking advocacy and Aramark's commitment to enriching and nourishing the lives of the thousands of consumers we serve every day, we have an opportunity to elevate the on-site...
Members of Congress and several advocacy groups gathered on Capitol Hill on Wednesday to highlight the potential loss of millions in state funding because of a Child Nutrition Reauthorization block grant introduced last month, and to call upon legislators to squash the bill.
The Improving Child Nutrition and Education Act of 2016 houses a statute that would provide three unannounced pilot states with block grant funding. Participating states would be exempt from federal nutrition regulations and would no longer qualify for the 6-cent reimbursement per lunch garnered by certified...
While it only serves 200 students and staff daily, the Muse School in Calabasas, Calif. , has a need for fresh produce that's much larger than the typical K-12 school. The private institution serves entirely vegan fare, menuing 1,000 pounds of fruit and vegetables per week.
"Despite the large amount of produce we use, the great majority is consumed, and there's little spoilage," says Kayla Webb, executive chef. "We barely throw away any produce."
The Muse School has strict policies in place—outside food is banned, for example, to cut down on waste. But even if an operation...

*Dave & Lynn West (ABWE in MI) departed for East Asia yesterday seeking to make contact with former students who have been with us here at HPBC. They also wish to establish contact with local believers for future support of students who return to East Asia. In addition to this, they desire to provide assistance for believers' future growth, and to make contact with new students coming to the USA in August. Prayer concerns are for Dave's health and shortness of breath. Please pray that the air pollution is at good levels while they are there for Dave's breathing problems.
*Suzy Grumelot (WorldTeam in France) asks for prayer this week as they are in the midst of their 13th Annual Prayer Conference. The 4 interns arrived last week, along with the 22 from around the globe this past week-end (including our own Anita Wagoner) to join Suzy and teammates in this conference. The national train strikes are into their 9th day with the gov't. and train drivers unions at a gridlock. Pray that this will not halt the prayers of the conference. Pray that the interns will be able to get the participants to various sites this week.
*Jeff & Mary Baldwin (GEM in Greece) ask for prayer as they are in the U.S. for several weeks this summer. Jeff has been so busy with the Greek Bible Institute (zoning problems, etc.) that he has not had an opportunity to work on his PhD dissertation. Pray that he will find the balance of needed study time, as well as family time this summer. Hopefully, he will be able to spend some time coming our way in Sept. before returning to Greece. They are so thankful that the Bible College was able to buy the property next door to the college which should allow for a significant expansion, after years of government regulations.
*Pray for K. & L. K. (Asia) as L. embarks on another Freedom Climb 2014 – 7 Summits. Pray for her as she prepares for this 4 day rigorous adventure where 144 will be climbing 7 mountains in CO to fight human trafficking work on the field. The funds raised for anti-human trafficking work includes spiritual development, education, healthcare and economic development. Pray for protection for all participants.
*Pray for J. & C. K. (Asia). C's Mom, Norma Jean, transitioned into a Heartland Rehab Facility in Sterling Heights on Saturday. C is now taking her for dialysis treatments on Mon – Weds – Fri to Beaumont, Royal Oak. Pray for wisdom on how to best handle long-term care for Norma Jean. It will most likely necessitate J coming to the US for a minimum of 4-6 months. They would then need to consider possible alternative housing options—please pray about that. Son, Peter, is now in their capital to start a 5 week TESOL certificate program which he hopes will make him marketable in Asia where he plans to teach English in a university there for the next year. Pray for daughter, Jasmine, who is looking for a nursing job.
*Ade & Jenni Olowo (GCM in TX) ask for prayer for team members of their STM trips to Italy, Asia and Serbia. Jenni has spent the year training these teams to be ready for the work the Lord has for them. They are thankful that they were in MI for a conference and spend time with Jenni's Grandma a week before she died. They were able to attend the CAFO summit to worship alongside 3,000 other orphan care advocates and learn from those researching the best practices in caring for these precious children. Pray for wisdom as they try to implement some new tools with the staff and orphanage in Nigeria.
Pray for Irma Sawdon (retired in WA). Irma is happy to be living with her daughter and hopefully by now in her own room that was being finished by her son-in-law and others. She is active in Bethel Community Church and has good friends and fellowship there, with 1 activity a month to attend. She appreciates our prayers and would love to hear from you. Write her at 4503 M Drive, Washougal, WA 98671.

About the Hanley Lab
In the Hanley lab, we investigate the molecular biology, evolution and ecology of emerging RNA viruses like dengue and influenza, with the goal of using this basic knowledge to design better methods to control the spread of these dangerous pathogens.
We currently focus on six main avenues of research (see Projects link for more details):
• Mechanisms of sylvatic dengue virus emergence.
• The interaction between arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) and the RNA interference (RNAi) response.
• Competition among dengue virus serotypes, ecotypes and strains.
• Novel synergies for antiviral drug design.

Texans Tailgate!!!
The Texans wanna get greedy on their tailgating passes and you see what happens.........they lost today!!!!!! They missed out on having less fans come tailgate, to an area where tailgating is encouraged by the TEXANS but all of sudden they wanna flip their script and NOT encourage tailgating anymore, unless we pay. Even thou the Texans are a billion dollar franchise, it's sad they are still taking every dollar they can from their best fans ever!!!!!! My wife and daughter wanted to come tailgate today, while my son and I were had plans to go into the game. I guess, the Texans can't let two lady's hang out in the parking lot anymore with out tailgating passes. I am a Texans season ticket holder and one of their biggest fans yet, but to everyone out there I hope this tailgating rule bites them in the rear and causes them to lose their up coming games and eliminate them from the play-offs this year. Maybe come next year, they will not forget about the "Texans encourage tailgating" advertising and commercials that we all see!!!!!! For we all know that Cowboys and Saints still have FREE tailgating with a parking pass!!!!!
Could be wrong but if you are a season ticket holder, you should have no problem entering the property of Reliant. Don't season ticket holders get these tailgating tickets?
I don't know...seem very subdued and just blah...no more sharing recipes, drinks, or sharing bbq or whatever your cooking with other fellow tailgators, seeing the familiar faces/neighbors week to week.
The comradery just, well there was none.
The Texans couldn't stop the Giants but they sure stopped 'tailgating' so to speak.

What does tailgating have to do with winning football games? I didn't know nonticket holders getting drunk in the parking lot effects the outcome of the game.
What kind of FAN (?) hopes that their team will lose and not make the playoffs? And why would you even go to a game only to wish your team a loss.
If, and I stress the word IF, you really DO have season tickets, you might as well sell them, if that is your attitude. If you really do have season tickets, sounds to me like all you have to do is pay $20 more for 2 tailgating tickets and be done with it. But I don't think that is the REAL case.
Do you go to an Astros game; go inside with your son; and leave your daughter and wife outside during the game?
"I hope they lose...rant...blah...rant...blah...." Dude, that's just crazy talk! Your post makes NO sense. Judging from the rant, and the time you posted this, I will give you the benefit of the doubt and dismiss it as a "PWI", = Posting While Intoxicated.
Tailgating Was Disappointing
I understand the guy ranting about the new policy. Sometimes when you get angry you aren't alwasy clear headed and say things you don't mean. PWI(posting while intoxicated)? Maybe. I believe what this fan is saying is that tailgating was noticeably lacking in fun and he hates the new policy. I hate the new policy as well, but still support the Texans. Heck, both our vehicles have Houston Texan plates. Yes I have been a season ticket holder for about 7 years and a regular tailgater as well. I have enjoyed the tailgating environment and truly was disappointed at the last tailgating experience. Sure I want to enjoy a fun enviroment and don't want to deal with hoodlums. Certainly the Texans can release a few thousand tailgating passes for sale to non-season ticket holders. This is Houston's team and not just the team for those of us that can afford game tickets. Charge the public the ten bucks, but give them a chance. Overreact because of small percentage of attendees. No way! I think the Texans can definitely improve the new policy. Let's not scare regular tailgaters away by making it a boring experience.
I absolutely loved tailgating today. Best one so far. Easy in, easy out. No lines for the porta-potty. Hats off to the Texans FO for the policy change.
When is all the crying going to stop!!
My husband wouldn't let my daughter and I sit in a parking lot with a bunch of drunks while he was inside enjoying the game...or would I want to! Move your tailgating party to your house! See how your neighbors like it!!
If the outcome of the game depends on the tailgating atmosphere, no wonder Dallas kicked our butts....it was a major drunkfest out there. I'm tired of everyone thinking the new policy was a result of the Dallas game. That game was just the straw that broke the camel's back! Its been bad out there for the last couple of seasons!
We have tailgated for the first time in 2 years!! I was tired of all the drunks, foul language, illicit music and LOSERS sitting on my car!!! GOOD RIDENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

University of St. Thomas
Notification of Rights as Required by the Family Education Rights
and Privacy Act of 1974, as Amended (FERPA)
Revision of 08/19/05 by the University Registrar
The University of St. Thomas is required to annually provide this notice by any means that are
reasonably likely to inform those who have rights under the Act.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect
to their education records. These rights include:
1. The right to inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days of the day the
university receives a request for access. Students should submit to the university registrar
written requests that identify the record(s) they wish to inspect. The registrar will make
arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may
be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the registrar, the registrar will advise the
student of the official to whom the request should be addressed.
2. The right to request the amendment of the student's education records that the student
believes to be inaccurate or misleading. Students may ask the University to amend a record
that they believe is inaccurate or misleading. They should write the university registrar, clearly
identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or
misleading. If the university decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, the
university will notify the student of the decision and advise the student of his or her right to a
hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing
procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.
3. The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the
student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without
consent. Some of the exceptions authorized by the law are set out below.
4. The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures
by the University of St. Thomas to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and
address of the Office that administers FERPA is
Family Policy Compliance Office
U.S. Department of Education
400 Maryland Avenue SW
Washington, DC 20202-4605
The university also advises students that:
1. The university may deny access to the following classes of records: Financial information
submitted by parents; confidential letters or recommendations placed in the file prior to
January 1, 1975; confidential letters or recommendations to which the student has waived
rights of inspection; private records of instructors, counselors, or administrators kept for their
own use; alumni records which contain only directory information and information collected
after the student has left the university; and medical, psychiatric, psychological or similar
2. The University may disclose educational records without written consent of students to the
Personnel within the University who maintain educational records and those with a
legitimate educational interest, including faculty or staff who deal with the student and
carry out education studies, and employees designated by them to assist in these
tasks. The University of St. Thomas defines "legitimate educational interest" as "needs
the record(s) to carry out employment responsibilities" Therefore, any university
employee, or person acting on behalf of the university, may have access to student
records without the student's written consent if that person needs the access to carry
out his/her employment responsibilities.;
officials of other colleges or universities in which the student seeks to enroll, with a
notice of the disclosure being sent to the student's last known address;
organizations conducting studies approved by the university having educational value or
concerning financial aid.
accrediting organizations approved by the university carrying out their accrediting
persons in compliance with a judicial order or a lawfully issued subpoena, with a notice
of the disclosure being sent to the last known address of the student;
persons in an emergency, if in the judgment of an official in charge of the records,
knowledge of the information is necessary to protect the health or safety of the student
or other person.
3. Directory information may be released without the written consent of the student, unless the
student specifies to the contrary as described below. Directory information includes student
name, address, e-mail address, photographs, telephone number, class year, major field of
study, dates of attendance, degrees and awards, current membership in clubs or fraternities,
participation in activities and sports with weight and height of team members, high school and
other colleges attended, parent's names and addresses, and anticipated date of graduation.
4. To withhold directory information from the public, undergraduate students must file a form
available in the office of the registrar and online within one week from the
beginning of the fall semester (or the semester in which the student enters). The order for
withholding will remain in effect until the student rescinds it in writing. The form for withholding
directory information will inform the student of some possible consequences. For example, as
long as a non-disclosure order is in effect the student cannot participate in intercollegiate
athletics where team rosters are published, or commencement ceremonies. Graduate students
will fill out this form in their respective graduate offices.
5. University officials whose employment duties permit them access to information from parents'
federal income tax returns may use those returns to determine whether students are
dependent on a parent as defined by the Internal Revenue Service. In such cases, FERPA
and university policy permit those officials to disclose information from those student's
education records to their parents without student consent. The university is not required to
notify students or maintain a record of these disclosures.
6. When personally identifiable information other than directory information is released, a notice
will be given that the recipients are not permitted to disclose the information to unauthorized
persons without written consent of the student. University personnel will be informed annually
of this restriction and their responsibilities under this Act so that individual notices will not be
This statement adheres to the standards of a FERPA annual notification as provided by the United
States of America, Department of Education.

Drawing inspiration from the strong controlled movements performed by Cirque du Soleil artists, the award-winning Spa & Salon Bellagio, in collaboration with Cirque du Soleil and Reebok, presents an innovative new workout class to its menu. JUKARI Fit to Flex, following the worldwide success of JUKARI Fit to Fly, is the second innovative workout to come out of the partnership between the leading fitness brand and the world-renowned entertainment company. Bellagio, home to the aquatic masterpiece "O," offers the only Las Vegas Strip location where guests can physically embark on a journey into the athletic and artistic world of Cirque du Soleil.
This cardio-infused program works to develop long, lean muscles and powerful core strength. Classes, led by certified instructors, are designed to help enhance flexibility, muscle tone and coordination. Using the specially designed JUKARI Band, a lightweight elastic band, participants are able to manage the intensity, move deeper into active stretches and increase their range of motion. Set to custom-mixed Cirque du Soleil music, JUKARI Fit to Flex is an inspirational complete body workout.
"JUKARI has affected my take on working out in general. I was never all that crazy about group fitness before, perhaps because of my career as a solo rhythmic gymnast and solo Cirque performer," says Mary Sander, Cirque du Soleil artist and JUKARI Fit to Flex Creative Collaborator. "JUKARI has inspired me to try new things and to embrace the woman I am. It has made fitness fun again!"
JUKARI Fit to Flex consists of four blocks of movement. The introduction, Prep Flex, familiarizes key moves that will be used in the body of the workout. Dynamic Flex challenges balance, mobility, stability and coordination while Floor Flex activates and strengthens stabilizer muscles and encourages fluid joint movement. Final Flex offers a performance opportunity that leaves participants with a sense of exhilaration and revitalization.
Classes are $40 per person and include a day pass for the cardio center, spa vanity, wet areas and lockers. To find out more about JUKARI Fit to Flex at Spa & Salon Bellagio, visit Bellagio.com/spasalon/spa-fitness-center.aspx.

Google's Nexus Q is already sold out
Shipping time slips to two or three weeks
INTERNET SERVICES GIANT Google has already sold out of its Nexus Q media streaming device following its launch at the Google I/O Conference last month.
Shipping time shown on the US Google Play store has slipped from three to five days to two or three weeks overnight, with potential buyers now being asked to register their email address for updates when the Nexus Q is back in stock.
We find this quite surprising, as at $299 it's an expensive piece of kit - especially when compared to the Apple TV. Still, its quirky spherical design has obviously helped the device fly off the shelves, as well as its ability to let users stream music and videos straight from the cloud to their HD TV.
The device, which weighs 923g, also features a dual-core CPU, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity and integrated NFC technology.
Google told us that it has no plans to bring the Nexus Q to the UK, but given the demand it's seen for the device in the US, it might be having second thoughts. µ

It happens too often. A large business is doing well and the owners sell it to a corporation, That corporation then decides to move the business out of America. It's a boneheaded business decision. It's happening in Northeast Philadelphia, with hundreds of people who will be out of work Jan 15 2015 when the Nabisco Company ( now owned by Mondelez company). closes. The plant in question is located on The Roosevelt Boulevard at Comly Rd. Today, Feb 19, 2014 quite a few union workers showed up with state legislators to protest.
The Mondelez company purchased the rights to bake Nabisco branded cookies such as Oreo's and others last year. It was announced that over 350 people will lose their jobs when this plant closes and moves to Mexico. "It';s corporate greed on Steroids", said State Rep Brendan Boyle. Boyle added,"This company is making money. you don't close a business that's making money".
State Senator Mike Stack, also in attendance was visibly upset at the prospect of his constituents losing their jobs .
Today, about 75 union workers from the Bakers local 492 showed up to protest outside the plant. Due to security concerns, the protest was actually on the property of a diner next door. The reason do his protest is simple. American wages and benefits are more money than the pennies and hour that they can pay the Mexican workers. The Mexican workers are unskilled, the plant has nowhere near the safety guidelines that American companies have to adhere to. All of that saves Mondelez baking money.
According to Mondelez Vice President Cindy Waggoner in anold news release "The role of the Philadelphia bakery within the company's biscuit manufacturing network footprint has changed over time. The site currently produces a limited number of core products. Other facilities are better positioned to support the company's future business needs.
The closure of the Philadelphia bakery will affect approximately 350 employees, who were informed of the company's decision earlier today.
"Our focus right now is on our employees in Philadelphia. We're making this announcement almost a full year in advance of the planned closure to help provide a smooth transition. We're committed to treating our employees fairly and working with them through this difficult time," Waggoner added.
Moving to Mexico does come at a huge cost to the company. The snacks that are baked at the plant on Roosevelt Blvd. are done by American workers. News is spreading fast about the decision make by Mondelez management to kill off American jobs. That means if the plant closes, cookie sales will plummet. Everyone knows someone that is affected by this closing. They will react with a boycott of anything baked by the Mondelez company. They will use store brand cookies or even try something new that is not made in another country and shipped here. The plant will close and take with it many jobs from the Philadelphia area, as the snacks get made in other areas of the country,or even Mexico. None of that is in the best interest of anyone in this region.
During the union rally, many motorists drove by honking horns in support of the workers. They are the same people that might not buy Nabisco branded snacks, should this go through.
You can see a timeline here of the Nabisco company.

Numerous studies have reported a strong correlation between intramuscular triacylglycerol (IMTG) content and insulin resistance. However, the proposed relationship between IMTG accumulation and skeletal muscle insulin resistance is not unambiguous, as trained athletes have been shown to be markedly insulin sensitive despite an elevated IMTG storage. Though the latter has often been attributed to differences in muscle fibre type composition and/or structural characteristics of the intramyocellular lipid deposits, recent studies have failed to provide such evidence. The greater insulin sensitivity despite an elevated IMTG deposition in the endurance-trained state has often been described as a metabolic paradox. However, divergent metabolic events are responsible for the greater IMTG content in the endurance-trained versus insulin-resistant states. The greater IMTG storage in the trained athlete represents an adaptive response to endurance training, allowing a greater contribution of the IMTG pool as a substrate source during exercise. In contrast, elevated IMTG stores in the obese and/or type 2 diabetes patient seem to be secondary to a structural imbalance between plasma free fatty acid availability, fatty acid (FA) storage and oxidation. Therefore, the reported correlation between IMTG content and insulin resistance does not represent a functional relationship, as it is strongly influenced by training status and/or habitual physical activity. It can be argued that the ratio between IMTG content and muscle oxidative capacity represents a more accurate marker of insulin resistance. Interventions to augment mitochondrial density and/or function are likely to improve the balance between FA uptake and oxidation and should be applied to prevent and/or treat insulin resistance.

IntroductionsWhat Asparagus Likes BestStarting PlantsMaking the Permanent Asparagus BedInsects and DiseasesHarvestingWhat if the Bed is Not Producing Well?Cooking AsparagusPreserving AsparagusSuppliers
Exerpt from page 1 & 2In the early spring when other fresh vegetables are unavailable how pleasant it is to have one of the tastiest vegetables ready to harvest. And it is reassuring to know that the harvest will continue each spring for years to come. A well-prepared asparagus bed in good soil should produce abundantly for up to twenty-five years. If you can be patient in the beginning you will be rewarded by a wonderful return for your labor.A gourmet treat expensive when purchased (and never as fresh) asparagus can be grown in almost any garden where there is a cold or dry season to provide it with a dormant period. As a vegetable the versatile asparagus can be cooked in many ways and dried canned or frozen for off-season eating. Low in calories high in flavor each serving of four spears (sixty grams) contains only ten calories with two grams of carbohydrates and one gram of protein. Asparagus is a very good source of thiamin and a good source of vitamin A and riboflavin.The asparagus plant is a beautiful addition to any location. Few garden sights are more attractive than early dew glistening in the feathery dark green foliage of the summer plants. In the fall the asparagus fern turns a bright yellow and when snow is on the ground the light brown brush bends high over the white.Copyright Story Communications Inc.

"He just passed out in my arms and that was it."
I have repeated this phrase I don't even know how many times over the past two weeks. My sweet, pleasantly plump, loving cat passed away suddenly on a routine trip to the vet for a checkup. The vet said his heart was broken, and then mine was too.
I stole Buggy off the mean streets about five years ago. He was so friendly and would always approach me outside of a friend's apartment, meowing and asking for a head scratch. When the weather turned colder, I couldn't stand the thought of him out there all alone. So I made plans to take him home with me one day.
I remember the first few days after he became mine. I was so nervous and it took some time to adjust to each other, but his often sweet, sometimes ornery demeanor melted my heart. He had such a huge personality and became a sort of mascot in my family. Buggy and I had only a few years together, but he was a huge presence in my life. My apartment has been unusually quiet now that his roaring meows are gone.
When I arrived home after work yesterday, my boyfriend surprised me by being there so we could spend some time together before I went to class. We were just chatting about our days when he said, "I have a surprise for you, but it won't be here until tomorrow." I immediately started running through a list of all the possible surprises that could be coming my way. "I hope it's a whole case of wine," I said. That day had been a long one.
To my utter surprise, he got up from his seat and walked over to the dining table, then approached me with a red folder. This folder looked vaguely familiar since I had just adopted a little girl cat – Minnie – about a month before as a friend for Buggy. As I opened the folder I realized: He got a cat! He got ME a cat!
Oliver arrives this afternoon. I am so excited to meet the little ball of black fur (with white paws) that will bring such joy to our lives. Buggy left big shoes to fill and he can never be replaced, but I am so glad to give this new little guy a home.
When I get home from work today, instead of walking into a quiet apartment as I have for the past two weeks, I'll be walking into a new chapter of my life. I will always cherish my memories with Buggy, and I look forward to making new ones with Minnie and Oliver.

Twitter redesigns its "new follower" email with a perfect mix of beauty and functionality – what happens to Twimailer and Topify now?
Last week, I was checking my bacn account on Yahoo! Mail and noticed that Twitter's new follower email looked different. The newly-redesigned email (pictured below) sent out by the ever-growing social network is a winner – both from a design and a functionality standpoint.
For starters, the new email that left Twitter labs has Twitter's logo on it (something the old email was missing – pictured below) as well as the familiar "cloud" background – which makes the message instantly identifiable. On top of that, the email now includes a lot more useful information about your new follower: the amount of followers the user has, how many updates the user has posted, as well as the number of other Twitter users your new follower is following, are all displayed to the right of the user's Twitter avatar. Rounding out the newly-redesigned email is a link to the user's profile, a link to block the user, and a link to turn off email notifications altogether. All around, this is a much-needed update to Twitter's new follower email notification.Surprisingly, Twitter is not the first service to offer emails with more information about your new follower. Twimailer (picture below) offered this service in the beginning on March (2009) and redirected any new follower emails through its own email servers, which then were routed to the end-user's mailbox. Topify is another service that takes took care of Twitter's lackluster new follower emails. But now that Twitter offers the same functionality offered by Twimailer and Topify with the standard Twitter service, what will become of these services? This seems to be a common occurrence when it comes to "supporting" services – ones that build on top of another service/use another service as a platform. To illustrate how this happens here's an example: as of today, there are many voice recorders for the iPhone in the iTunes App Store. But once iPhone OS 3.0 is released, they will – for the most part- become useless, as the new iPhone OS will have a bundled voice recorder. This is exactly what happened with Twitter's newly-redesigned new follower emails and Twimailer and Topify. Unless Twimailer and Topify provide extra functionality, they're dead. I the same light, voice recorders will become useless once OS 3.0 hits – for the most part. Why for the most part? If third-party voice recorders provide extra functionality, they will still be of value. To take this example one step further, picture Twitter releasing its own iPhone Twitter App to compete with the likes of Tweetie and Twitterific; if it's free, then Tweetie and Twitterific will have a much tougher time competing. To make things worse for Twimailer nor Topify, neither seem to have a business model as of today.
Update: Topify offers me the ability to reply to a direct message by replying to Topify through email, something Twitter doesn't itself provide in its email service. But is this enough for Twitter users to use Topify?
One thing I would like to see Twitter add to the redesigned new follower emails is the user's profile summary. But perhaps Twitter wants me to click through to the site to see that information. Something tells me, though, that it's not of Twitter's primary concern.

What happened to Topify? we registered a record in user growth (http://www.flickr.com/photos/ouriel/3523823665/) since twitter made that change and we never had so much positive feedabck since our service is simply the best out there.
I suggest you take a further look to our service to understand why people are hooked to it and more and more are joining. Just for the record
> we offer way more useful data than Twitter new emails and the other service you mentionned
> we are the only service that integrated MrTweet stats and soon more 3rd party stats
> we allow block and unfollow. soon we ll have a unique spam marker that users will enjoy
> we tell you if you are already following someone so you don t have to check the profile again
> we display right from the email subject the real name # follower and # following
> our emails are fully optimized and displayed for friendly reading (unlike the screenshot above with numbers…)
> we provide a user dashboad so you can easily change the forwarding adress
> we answer super fast to questions asked on twitter (just check our Twitter account to understand)
this is only the beginning of a very long list of new features.
The reason we are not worried is because we are dead focus on providing the best experience and not just diplaying more data which is solving just part of the issue (a small one). We don't try to provide a little improvement to what is being done. We are trying to provide a really unique and painless flow which saves time (so far we saved like a 1/4 of a year to our users)
But why talk when you can have the proof in real time: here are invites for your readers http://bit.ly/topifyinvite
[...] attention is that it is more effective than other techniques. For example, ever since Twitter added follower numbers to their outgoing emails in May, users typically don't click through to accounts that appear to be spam, making [...]

A Thought: Backus, FP, and Brute Force Learning
This thought isn't really related to Haskell specifically but it's more towards FP ideal in general.
I'm new to the FP world and to get me started, I began reading a few papers. One paper is by John Backus called "Can Programming Be Liberated from the von Neumann Style? A Functional Style and It's Algebra of Programs".
While I like the premise which notes the limitation of the von Neumann Architecture, his solution to this problem makes me feel queasy when I read it.
For me personally, one thing I enjoy about a typical procedural program is that it allows me to "Brute Force Learn". This means I stare at a particular section of the code for a while until I figure out what it does. I may not know the reasoning behind it but I can have a pretty decent idea of what it does. If I'm lucky, later on someone may tell me "oh, that just did a gradient of such and such matrix". In a way, I feel happy I learned something highly complex without knowing I learned something highly complex.
Backus seems to throw that out the window. He introduces major new terms which require me to break out the math book which then requires me to break out a few other books to figure out which bases things using archaic symbols which then requires me to break out the pen and paper to mentally expand what in the world that does. It makes me feel CISCish except without a definition book nearby. It's nice if I already knew what a "gradient of such and such matrix" is but what happens if I don't?
For the most part, I like the idea that I have the option of Brute Force Learning my way towards something. I also like the declarative aspect of languages such as SQL which let's me asks the computer of things once I know the meaning of what I'm asking. I like the ability to play and learn but I also like the ability to declare this or that once I do learn. From Backus paper, if his world comes to a reality, it seems like I should know what I'm doing before I even start. The ability to learn while coding seems to have disappeared. In a way, if the von Neumann bottleneck wasn't there, I'm not sure programming would be as popular as it is today.
Unfortunately, I'm still very new and quite ignorant about Haskell so I do not know how much of Backus is incorporated in Haskell but so far, in the start of my FP learning adventure, this is how things seem to be seen.
If I may generously ask, where am I wrong and where am I right with this thought?
Thank you for any explanation
P.S. If anyone knows of a better place I can ask this question, please feel free to show me the way.

Just because you make your own compost doesn't mean it's green. Fertilizer is only as ecofriendly as it's ingredients. What do you put in your green compost? If your compost contains chemical pesticides and fertilizer, it's not green compost. There are surprising ways chemicals can contaminate your compost. What's the point of natural fertilizer if you don't monitor what goes into it? How can this be accomplished so that you know your compost is as green as possible?
Are your lawn clippings green?
How is your lawn fertilized? If you use a lawn service, even one that advertises green methods, there's no guarantee that chemicals are not being used on your lawn. Green methods usually involve an up-charge. Don't assume a company that totes itself as green is using all green methods. If you use a lawn service, be sure to ask what types of fertilizer and pesticide are used on your lawn. Your Eco friendly compost can become contaminated by adding grass clippings that have been chemically enhanced.
Are your leaves green?
Trees are very often sprayed with pesticides to protect them from insect damage. This is especially true with fruit trees. Even if you have never done this with your trees, your neighbor might have. Why does this matter? Wind blown leaves from your neighbors yard could end up in your Eco-friendly compost.
How can you prevent this from happening? A good solid privacy fence will keep the majority of leaves on the other side of the fence.
Is your coffee green?
One of the most common components of ecofriendly compost is coffee grounds. While it may seem an innocent addition to green compost, coffee grounds are not always pesticide free. Coffee production quite often involves the use of pesticides, since it's grown in countries where regulations are not as strict. Check the label or the company that manufactures your coffee to be sure it's certified organic, before adding coffee grounds to your compost.
Are your eggshells and kitchen waste green?
Unless you eat all organic, the answer is likely no. Chemical fertilizers and pesticides used for growing leach into fruits and vegetables. Adding these fruits and vegetables to compost can compromise it's green quality. What's the most common compost ingredient from kitchen waste? Fruit and vegetable peels. Why is this bad? The skin of fruits and vegetables contain the highest concentration of chemical pesticides. Eggshells from conventionally raised chickens can also contain hormones,antibiotics and feces.
Is your manure green?
Many people are under the false impression that manure is safe to use as an ecofriendly fertilizer. This practice is actually very harmful to the environment. Nitrate based fertilizers cause overgrowth of algae in ponds and streams. Algae consumes oxygen needed for other plant and animal life. In addition, the excess nitrates cause birth defects and other health hazards. Use green manure instead. Green manure is made from winter wheat, a plant product containing several grasses used as a soil nutrient. It can be used alone or added to green compost. Farmers often sow it into their fields at the end of a harvest, then plow it under as fertilizer for the next year.
Is your ecofriendly compost really green?
To sum it up, your ecofriendly compost is only green if everything that goes into it is green. It simply isn't possible to control every ingredient that goes into your Eco friendly compost but you can eliminate the major problems. Be sure leaves and grass clippings that go into your compost have not been chemically treated. Try to eat organically, so that the majority of kitchen scraps found in your green compost are chemical, preservative and hormone free. Use green manure instead of animal feces as a supplement to your compost. Taking the time to really think about what goes into your compost will insure that it's as green as possible.
