Here are a few though. lol I would like to be Goku cause he's the strongest Saiya-jin(Saiyan) I would like to be Raito(Light) only I'd be a little more cautious. Like with the encounter between Raito and Near when the names were being written in the Death Note. I actually anticipated what Near had done. I knew he replaced all the pages in the notebook. I would have made sure that everyone's name was written in there including mine. Then, once the names were revealed and that Mikami knew that I was Kira, I would quickly memorize the names, consult with the people in my party, pretend to check the time while I add a few little details to the paper hidden in my watch. One of the papers would have already have had Mikami's name on it with certain actions to be played out before his death, one of which would have been to write everyone's name down. Once that was out of the way, Mikami would cause a riot and attack everyone in the room including Kira to make things confusing. While Mikami caused a fuss and most likely injures a few people who will obviously fight back and pull out weapons to defend themselves, I'd take that opportunity to write Near's real name on the piece of paper. With Near dead, everyone will start to panic, and then Mikami would be the next to die. With people panicking, I'd take the opportunity to calm everyone down, and tell them that there must be someone else working with Mikami aka the real kira. Anyway... I would also be Vash the Stampede! I just loved him. I would be Kenshin from Samurai X. I have also wanted to be a samurai. "You can only be young once, but you can be immature forever! "
i don't say much because theres not much to say
Project 2501 (Puppet Master) from Ghost in the Shell. "After a thousand battles, one only sees death!" -Chaos Space Marine Predator (Warhammer 40,000)
i would nora,duo maxwell/herro/tenchi i would be any one of them oh yeah,

Afghan Request for Spy Balloons Is Up in the Air
ARGHANDAB DISTRICT, Afghanistan—Chief of Police Niaz Mohammad had good news for his American military guests here: Security was improving in this crucial district bordering the southern city of Kandahar, and Taliban insurgents were no longer gathering in large numbers to stage attacks.
But Mr. Mohammad had a pointed question: When the Americans leave, who will provide the eyes in the sky that are keeping the insurgents away?
"At nighttime when they [insurgents] want to come and put in roadside bombs for us, we can't see them," he said. "We don't have technology like balloons…and that is a big thing for us."
When the U.S. sent troops to Arghandab as part of the 2010 surge, it also brought balloons laden with surveillance gear. The craft, which are also known as aerostats and look like smaller, pilotless versions of the Goodyear Blimp, are a common feature of the landscape in Afghanistan. Military officers describe them as a "force multiplier" for spotting potential threats and protecting forward operating bases. Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates made deployment of surveillance balloons a priority for the Pentagon during the surge.
Most U.S. and international troops are scheduled to leave Afghanistan by the end of 2014, taking their gear with them. And Afghan security officials are worried about how the cash-strapped Afghan military will fare without drones and other surveillance tools to spot insurgents.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai has said he would raise his government's request for better equipment when he visits Washington in the coming week. Senior Afghan officials say surveillance technology—including drones, balloons and other equipment—is on their wish list.
"With regards to intelligence, we are dependent on ISAF," said Maj. Gen. Zahir Azimi, spokesman for the Afghan Defense Ministry, referring to the U.S.-led International Security Assistance Force. "We need training and equipment."
The U.S. State Department and the White House have yet to comment publicly on expectations for the meeting in Washington. But U.S. officials privately express concern that Afghan leaders are too focused on high-end military equipment that their military can't afford to sustain.
The balloons were developed as a relatively cost-effective solution for watching over remote bases. Cameras on top of towers are vulnerable to small-arms fire, and keeping drones in the air around the clock is expensive, according to a U.S. Navy news release from 2011.
The Afghans are already familiar with U.S. spy gear. In a trial in December in Arghandab, a detachment of Afghan soldiers tested their ability to launch a U.S.-made aerostat at Combat Outpost Terra Nova, a small base in Kandahar's Arghandab district.
As Maj. Gen. Abdul Hamid, the commander of the Afghan army's Kandahar-based 205th Corps, watched the 75-foot-long blimp lumbering into the sky, tethered to the ground by a long cable, he said this kind of equipment could give Afghan troops advance warning of potential threats.
"We can discover the enemy, we can see the enemy," he said. "If they are planting IEDs, if they are coming for ambushes. We can shoot them, we can capture them."
U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Paul Nakasone, who works for the U.S.-led joint command in Afghanistan, said aerostats could, in theory, be a useful asset for the Afghan military, which doesn't have a fleet of drones or manned surveillance planes to watch over the country's rugged terrain.
"They are not going to have the airborne fleet that we have right now," he said. "This is a great enabler for them as they look to the future to provide persistent stare on a target."
Top U.S. officers, however, emphasize that the experiment was a "proof-of-concept"—a mere demonstration. A formal effort to provide surveillance blimps to Afghan forces isn't yet under way. Launching and recovering the balloon is only one part of a complex operation, which also includes maintenance of sensitive surveillance cameras and other costly equipment.
The commander in charge of the coalition's day-to-day operations in Afghanistan, U.S. Army Lt. Gen. James Terry, told The Wall Street Journal on a visit to Arghandab there were "many miles to go" before moving forward with such a project, because military planners need to assess whether the Afghan government could afford to sustain its own fleet of surveillance balloons over the long term.
Afghan security forces, Gen. Terry said, need to play to their traditional strengths, such as information gathered from local informants—known in military shorthand as "human intelligence," or HUMINT. "I think they realize how much better they are in some intelligence, specifically HUMINT, than we are," he said.
Equipping the country's military is a sensitive point in U.S.-Afghan relations. Top Afghan officials have made it clear they would like a more modern military that is capable of defending against its neighbors, rather than a more rudimentary force that is focused on internal security and combating low-tech insurgents. And Afghan troops remain dependent on U.S. and international allies for medical evacuation and close air support—as well as for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance.
U.S. officials said the blimp project showed initial promise. Ray Gutierrez, a civilian who oversees training and employment of the balloons, said the handpicked group of Afghan soldiers who trained to operate the balloons were "doing a fantastic job," learning how to launch, recover and maintain the aerostats.
"They are capable now," he said. "And they know the terrain and they know the enemy."
Nonetheless, the planned withdrawal of U.S. forces is cause for anxiety in Arghandab. In meetings with Afghan police and security officials in Arghandab, U.S. officers heard a familiar refrain: The Afghans needed better logistics, and more fuel for their vehicles.
Mohammad Isaq, police commander for Arghandab's west side, turned out in dress uniform to meet Gen. Terry. He too asked about fuel.
Gen. Terry then asked him about how confident he was about taking the lead for security in next year's fighting season, as the Americans recede to the background.
"God willing, we will try our best," Mr. Isaq said.

A Buffalo man has pleaded guilty to charges that he robbed banks in Kenmore and Hamburg in 2010, U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul, Jr. announced Monday.
Timothy Ernle, 51, entered the plea before U.S. District Judge Richard J. Arcara. The charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
U.S. Attorney Melissa M. Marangola, who is handling the case, said that in July 201 Ernle robbed the M&T Bank branch on Delaware Avenue in Kenmore and the Evans National Bank on South Park Avenue in Hamburg on two separate occasion.
During all three robberies, the robber wielded a baseball hat and wore latex gloves and a stocking over his face. Ernle jumped over the teller counters and emptied the drawers.
Ernle, who is currently serving a state prison sentence for a bank robbery in Niagara County, stole approximately $27,000 during the three robberies.
The plea is the result of an investigation by special agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Christopher M. Piehota.
He will be sentenced by Arcara on Oct. 18.

Political Protests In Egypt Intensify, Expand
Egypt's military rulers named a former prime minister under Hosni Mubarak to head the new government. The move is likely to further incite the tens of thousands of protesters in Cairo's Tahrir Square, demanding the resignation of the ruling military council. And for the first time, pro-military protesters gathered in another of Cairo's squares.

SHAUN STANLEY/ Durango Herald
SHAUN STANLEY/ Durango Herald
Luck, but more importantly, teamwork, probably saved the life of a man who fell from a cliff Monday and landed beside the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad tracks just south of Silverton.
The victim, Jerry Lyle, a Silverton resident, was in serious condition Tuesday at Mercy Regional Medical Center.
Dan Markoff, owner and engineer of the Eureka & Palisade No. 4, an 1875 steam locomotive, came upon the victim as he returned from the annual Railfest celebration.
�We left Silverton about 9:30 a.m. and were approaching a right-hand curve when I saw a glint of light,� Markoff said Tuesday at the D&SNGR station. �I thought it was a beer can or Coke bottle, but then I saw a light moving back and forth.�
Markoff stopped the locomotive, which was pulling a caboose with about 20 passengers, to find a man with his head against the rail and one hand over the rail.
�There was blood on his face, and I could see his scalp in one spot. He could barely talk,� Markoff said. �If he had been around the curve, I wouldn�t have seen him in time.�
Markoff said Lyle signaled with a small LED flashlight.
Lyle, a 63-year-old freelance photographer and popular DJ for Silverton Community Radio, was on a cliff positioning to get a photograph of the train as it rounded the curve. But he apparently lost his footing and tumbled down, Markoff said.
Among the passengers was Alex Sharp, an emergency medical technician with the Amador County (Calif.) Fire Protection District.
About the same time, Markoff saw a group of kayakers on the Animas River.
�I asked if there was a doctor among them,� Markoff said. �They said �no� but that one was an EMT and that he had a full kit of supplies.�
Sharp said that between him and the kayaking EMT, they made Lyle comfortable and got medical information to pass along to doctors later.
Sharp declined to share specific observations, citing the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act that limits what information can be given about patients.
The Minko, a vintage motorcar that carries the middle name of Markoff�s father and travels with the Eureka & Palisade, returned to Silverton for a backboard on which to transport Lyle, Markoff said.
The Minko wasn�t adequate to transport the patient so a larger one was sent by the D&SNGR, Markoff said.
The Silverton San Juan Ambulance Association took Lyle from Silverton to a parking lot at Durango Mountain Resort where he was transported by air to Mercy.
Markoff said Lyle couldn�t have fallen long before he arrived because the Galloping Goose, another old-time locomotive that participated in Railfest, left Silverton about 15 minutes before he did.
�They would have seen him,� Markoff said.
The Eureka & Palisade No. 4 is one of three Baldwin class steam locomotives in existence and the only one in operating condition. The others are in the Smithsonian and the California Railroad Museum in Sacramento.

LEWISTOWN - Volunteers are needed for the annual meat canning project slated to take place Feb. 11 to 14 at East Derry Fire Company in Lewistown.
Canning Secretary Rick Esh said help is needed from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily to process 30,000 pounds of turkey for those less fortunate. Clean-up will continue past 7 p.m.
Volunteer jobs include cutting the turkey into small pieces, washing and labeling cans, operating the canner, stirring kettles of meat, weighing cans, boxing the final product and cleaning up.

Sentinel file photo
From left, Hannah Faulkner, Sharon Faulkner, Hannah Peachey, all of Belleville, and John Knepp, of Martinsburg, cube turkey meat in February 2010 in Belleville for the annual meat canning project.
"Cutting the meat is the big thing," Esh said, and extra hands are always appreciated for that step in the process.
This is the second year the mobile meat canner will visit its current location. For many years, the canning project was held at the A.J. Peachey and Sons business near Reedsville; but when the building burned in a fire, project organizers had to find a new location. Canning was canceled in 2011 because there was no location.
The East Derry Fire Company is one of 34 venues in the United States that will be visited by the mobile canner during the 2012-2013 canning season, Esh said.
After processing, 90 percent of the two-pound cans of meat will be distributed by the Mennonite Central Committee to people and countries in need. Esh said 10 percent of the meat will stay within Mifflin, Juniata, Huntingdon, Centre and Blair counties. The meat will be distributed to food pantries or used for other local emergencies.
Currently, the ministry has not met its financial goal of $60,000 for the project. The Central Pennsylvania World Hunger Association, which organizes the canning, is still accepting donations for the effort.
"There's a need to feed the people," Esh urged, adding that meat canning is not an effort of just one group, but a ministry of the whole community.
"It's a chance to meet people, a chance to do God's work," he said.
Walk-in help is welcome at any time, and small groups do not need to register. However, Esh encouraged large groups of 15 to 20 people to contact Ben Stoltzfus at (814) 625-2430 to arrange a date and time to volunteer.
Donations can be sent to the ministry at Central Pennsylvania World Hunger Association, P.O. Box 76, Belleville, PA, 17004.

Annual Security Report
This report is provided in compliance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act, as amended. It provides students and employees of the College of the Ozarks with information on: the College's security arrangements, policies and procedures; programs that provide education on such things as drug and alcohol abuse, awareness and prevention of various kinds of sex offenses, and the prevention of crime generally; and procedures the College will take to notify the campus community in the event of an emergency. Its purpose is to provide students and employees with information that will help them make informed decisions relating to their own safety and the safety of others.
Policy for Preparing the Annual Report
This report is prepared by the Dean of Administration in cooperation with local law enforcement authorities and includes information on crime statistics provided by them as well as by the College's campus security authorities and various other elements of the College. Each year an e-mail notification is made to all full-time employees, and enrolled students that provide the web site to access this report. Hard copies of the report may also be obtained at no cost by contacting the Dean of Administration Office, located on the first floor of the McDonald Administration Building.
The College of the Ozarks is committed to taking the actions necessary to provide a safe and secure working/learning environment for all students and staff. As a member of the campus community, you can feel safe and comfortable knowing that security procedures are in place that represent best practices in the field, and are constantly tested and re-evaluated for their effectiveness.
Policies Concerning The Law Enforcement Authority and Jurisdiction of Campus Security Personnel
The College of the Ozarks has a private security department that works under the direction of the Dean of Administration. Its jurisdiction covers all campus property. It consists of six full-time staff officers. The campus is patrolled twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week by use of foot, bicycle and vehicle patrols. Its authority comes from the College and therefore its personnel do not have arrest authority. However, the Security Department has a close working relationship with local law enforcement agencies, which assist the Security Department when necessary. Although there is no formal memorandum of understanding with the Taney County Sheriff Department, when needed, the College works with that Department to investigate any alleged criminal offenses. To contact the Security Department, call (417) 690-3448 or (417) 334-6411. The Security Department is located on bottom floor of the Jamison Building.
Other Officials to Whom Crimes May Be Reported
The College also has designated other officials to serve as additional campus security authorities. Reports of criminal activity can also be made to these officials. They in turn will ensure that they are reported to the Security Department for collection as part of the College's annual report of crime statistics. These additional campus security authorities are: the Dean of Administration, the Dean of Students, the Dean of Work the Dean of the College, the Business Manager, and all Residence Hall Directors.
Policies on Reporting a Crime or Emergency
The College encourages accurate and prompt reporting of all criminal actions, accidents, injuries, or other emergencies occurring on campus to the Security Department and appropriate police agencies even when the victim of a crime elects not to do so or is unable to make such a report. Such reports should be made as follows:
Situations that pose imminent danger or while a crime is in progress should be reported to local law enforcement by calling 911 from any campus phone or cell phone. Keep in mind that the individual making the call from a cell phone will need to provide the address where the emergency has occurred. After making the 911 call, also call the College switchboard at (417) 334-6411 to contact one of the campus security authorities identified above.
Students, staff, and visitors should report criminal actions, accidents, injuries, or other emergency incidents to one of the campus security authorities identified above. Once reported, the individual making the report will be encouraged to also report it to appropriate police agencies. If requested, a member of the College staff will assist a student in making the report to the police.
Anonymous incident reports can also be made.
The College will protect the confidentiality of victims. Only those with a need to know the identity for purposes of investigating the crime, assisting the victim or disciplining the perpetrator will know the victim's identity. Moreover, the College will withhold the identity of victims in publicly available records, to the extent permitted by law.
Any victim of a crime who does not want to pursue action within the College disciplinary system or the criminal justice system is nevertheless encouraged to make a confidential report to a campus security authority. With the victim's permission, a report of the details of the incident can be filed without revealing the victim's identity. Such a confidential report complies with the victim's wishes, but still helps the College take appropriate steps to ensure the future safety of the victim and others. With such information, the College can keep an accurate record of the number of incidents involving students, determine where a pattern of crime may be developing and alert the community as to any potential danger. These confidential reports are counted and disclosed in the annual crime statistics for the College.
The College provides professional counseling through the Student Counseling Center located in the Gittinger Christian Ministries Building. Any student can seek professional counseling. The counselors abide by their professional standards regarding confidentiality. Counselors are encouraged, if and when they deem it appropriate, to inform the persons they are counseling of the procedures to report crimes on a voluntary, confidential basis for inclusion in the annual report.
The College monitors and records through local police agencies criminal activity by students at non-campus locations, including any non-campus locations of student organizations officially recognized by the College. Any such criminal activity will be treated the same as if it happened on campus and reports of such activity should follow the same procedures as for reporting on-campus criminal activity.
Additionally, upon written request, the College will disclose to the alleged victim of a crime of violence (as that term is defined in Section 16 of Title 18, United States Code), or a non-forcible sex offense, the report on the results of any disciplinary proceeding conducted by this institution against a student who is the alleged perpetrator of such a crime or offense. If the alleged victim is deceased as a result of such a crime or offense, the next of kin of such victim shall be treated as the alleged victim for purposes of this paragraph.
Educational Programs Related to Security Awareness and Prevention of Criminal Activity
College of the Ozarks seeks to enhance the security of its campus and the members of the campus community by periodically presenting educational programs to inform students and employees about campus security procedures and practices, to encourage students and employees to be responsible for their own security and the security of others and to inform them about the prevention of crimes. A description of those programs and their frequency of presentation follows:
At the beginning of each semester, security and safety procedures are discussed with new students during new student orientation.Additionally, security and safety procedures are reviewed with students living on campus at the beginning of each term.This includes encouraging students to be alert to security situations and to assist the school in preventing crimes from occurring through awareness and communication.Students are highly encouraged to develop and present their own crime prevention programs to other students and staff.
When necessary, employees and students are informed about ways to prevent crime.Usually this includes written communication from school administration, via campus postings, email distribution, or internet posting.Information regarding crime prevention tips and where to go to report criminal or suspicious activity will be communicated via email or text messaging through the College's mass notification systems.
Security Considerations in Building Access and Maintenance
Campus buildings are locked and unlocked on a set schedule or by order of a facilities permit. Residence hall staff members work the front desk of each residence hall and do regular walks through the buildings. Buildings also are randomly checked by security officers during each shift. Students living on campus are issued keys for residence hall rooms and may be issued keys based upon the student's work assignment. Certain areas may have access cards or access codes for security purposes as well.
Students and employees are asked to be alert and to not circumvent practices and procedures that are meant to preserve their safety and that of others:
Do not prop doors open or allow strangers into campus buildings that have been secured.
Do not lend keys or access cards to non-students and do not leave them unattended.
Do not give access codes to anyone that does not belong to the campus community.
Keys to the offices, laboratories, and classrooms on campus will be issued to employees only as needed and after receiving the proper authorization. Each department supervisor is responsible for assuring his/her area is secured and locked.
Employees must adhere to policies regarding unauthorized access to school facilities, theft of, or damage to, school property, or other criminal activity. In particular, rendering inoperable or abusing any fire prevention or detection equipment is prohibited. Violation of these policies may lead to disciplinary action, up to and including termination and the filing of charges with law enforcement authorities.
Employee and student identification cards may be used to verify the identity of persons suspected to be in campus facilities without permission.
The Security Department works with other departments to identify needs on the campus when maintaining campus facilities. They do safety checks to identify street or safety lights that are not working, or shrubs or other landscaping that might need trimming. Security also identifies any potential problems that need to be addressed with large events and safety considerations that need to be addressed in the planning of the events.
Timely Warnings
In the event of criminal activity occurring either on campus or off campus that in the judgment of the Dean of Administration constitutes an ongoing or continuing threat, a campus-wide "timely warning" will be issued. Examples would be a rash of motor vehicle thefts or sexual assaults in the area that merit a warning because they present a continuing threat to the campus community. This warning will be communicated to students and employees by email, text messaging, and Security's Facebook page. Updates to the warnings will be provided as appropriate.
The College of the Ozarks has communicated with local law enforcement departments requesting their cooperation in informing the College about situations reported to them that may warrant issuing a timely warning. Anyone else with information warranting a timely warning should immediately report the circumstances to Campus Security.
Emergency Response and Evacuation Procedures
Each semester, the College notifies the campus community regarding the methods that would be used in the event of an emergency. Communication of a campus emergency includes utilizing the College website, campus email, third party mass notification via text and email, and the use of campus sirens. Notification will include the nature of the emergency as well as what actions to take during the emergency.
The College has an emergency management plan designed to ensure there is a timely and effective response in the event of a significant emergency or dangerous situation occurring on campus involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of members of the campus community. Such situations include, but are not limited to: tornadoes, bomb threats, chemical spills, disease outbreaks, or armed intruders. The College of the Ozarks has communicated with local police requesting their cooperation in informing the College about situations reported to them that may warrant an emergency response. Students, staff and visitors are encouraged to notify Campus Security of any situation that poses such a threat.
The Dean of Administration will access available sources of information from campus administrative staff and local authorities to confirm the existence of the danger. The Dean of Administration in collaboration with the President of the College will be responsible for initiating the College's response and for marshaling the appropriate local emergency response authorities for assistance. Depending on the nature of the emergency, other College departments may be involved in the confirmation process.
Once the emergency is confirmed, the College community, or appropriate segments of it, will be notified. The President in collaboration with other appropriate personnel, will determine who should be notified and will, without delay, and taking into account the safety of the community, determine the content of the notification and initiate the notification system, unless issuing a notification will, in the professional judgment of responsible authorities, compromise efforts to assist a victim or to contain, respond to or otherwise mitigate the emergency. Depending on the segments of the campus the notification will target, the content of the notification may differ. When appropriate, the content of the notification will be determined in consultation with local authorities. Also as appropriate, the notification will give guidance as to whether its recipients should shelter in place or evacuate their location.
The Dean of Administration will direct the issuance of emergency notifications, which will be accomplished using one or more of the following means, depending on the nature of the threat and the segment of the campus community being threatened:
Campus Sirens
Text Messaging
Security Facebook Page
The College will utilize the institution's website and local media outlets to disseminate emergency information to the larger community; that is those outside of the campus community.
The College tests its emergency response and evacuation procedures at least twice a year. Also, at various times the Emergency Management Team will meet to train and test and evaluate the College's emergency response plan. The Dean of Administration Office maintains a record of these tests and training exercises, including a description of them, the dates and times they were held and an indication of whether they were announced or unannounced. In connection with at least one such test, the College will distribute to its students and employees information to remind them of the College's emergency response and evacuation procedures.
Missing Persons Procedures
If a member of the College community has reason to believe that a student who resides in on-campus housing is missing, that information should be reported immediately to the Dean of Students. The Dean of Students Office is located on the first floor of the McDonald Administration Building and the phone number is (417) 690-2224. The College Security Department will be immediately notified and an investigation initiated.
In addition to registering a general emergency contact, students residing in on-campus housing have the option to identify confidentially an individual whom the College will contact within 24 hours of the determination that the student is missing. If a student has identified such an individual, the College will notify that individual no later than 24 hours after the student is determined to be missing. A student who wishes to designate a confidential contact may do so by providing the appropriate information to the Dean of Students. A student's confidential contact information will be accessible only by authorized campus officials and law enforcement in the course of the investigation.
After investigating a missing person report, the College will notify local law enforcement authorities that a student is missing within 24 hours of making that determination, unless the local law enforcement authority was the entity that made the determination that the student is missing. If the missing student is under the age of 18 and is not emancipated, the College will notify that student's custodial parent or legal guardian within 24 hours of the determination that the student is missing, in addition to notifying any additional contact person designated by the student.
Policy, Procedures and Programs Related to Various Sex-Related Offenses
Consistent with the requirements of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, the College of the Ozarks prohibits discrimination based on sex in its educational programs and activities, including sexual harassment and acts of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual violence and stalking. The College also prohibits any retaliation, intimidation, threats, coercion or any other discrimination against any individuals exercising their rights or responsibilities pursuant to this policy. A full statement of the College's Title IX policy and the procedures for filing, investigating and resolving complaints for violations of that policy may be found at http://www.cofo.edu/Page/About-C-of-O/Consumer-Information.355.html.
The following discusses the College's educational programs to promote the awareness of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking; provides information concerning procedures students should follow if they become a victim of one of these offenses and the procedures the College will follow when an offense is reported to it; and advises students of services available in the event they do become a victim.
Educational Programs to Promote Awareness and Prevention of These Offenses:
The College of the Ozarks prohibits the offenses of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking. In that regard, the following definitions apply within the state of Missouri:
Consent: Consent or lack of consent may be expressed or implied. Assent does not constitute consent if:
(a) It is given by a person who lacks the mental capacity to authorize the conduct charged to constitute the offense and such mental incapacity is manifest or known to the actor; or
(b) It is given by a person who by reason of youth, mental disease or defect, intoxication, a drug-induced state, or any other reason is manifestly unable or known by the actor to be unable to make a reasonable judgment as to the nature or harmfulness of the conduct charged to constitute the offense; or
(c) It is induced by force, duress or deception.
See Section 556.061(5), RSMo.
Domestic Assault: This offense can be committed in degrees (1st, 2nd or 3rd) depending on the seriousness of the injury inflicted or attempted to be inflicted. It occurs when a person attempts to cause or knowingly causes the injury to a family or household member, including any child who is a member of the family or household. "Family or household member" means spouses, former spouses, any person related by blood or marriage, persons who are presently residing together or have resided together in the past, any person who is or has been in a continuing social relationship of a romantic or intimate nature with the victim and anyone who has a child in common regardless of whether they have been married or have resided together at any time. See Sections 455.010(7), 565.072, 565.073, and 565.074.
Stalking: Depending on the circumstances of the offense, stalking can be either a Class A misdemeanor or a Class D felony.
1. As used in this definition, the following terms shall mean:
(1) "Course of conduct", a pattern of conduct composed of two or more acts, which may include communication by any means, over a period of time, however short, evidencing a continuity of purpose. Constitutionally protected activity is not included within the meaning of course of conduct. Such constitutionally protected activity includes picketing or other organized protests;
(2) "Credible threat", a threat communicated with the intent to cause the person who is the target of the threat to reasonably fear for his or her safety, or the safety of his or her family, or household members or domestic animals or livestock as defined in section 276.606 kept at such person's residence or on such person's property. The threat must be against the life of, or a threat to cause physical injury to, or the kidnapping of, the person, the person's family, or the person's household members or domestic animals or livestock as defined in section 276.606 kept at such person's residence or on such person's property;
(3) "Harasses", to engage in a course of conduct directed at a specific person that serves no legitimate purpose, that would cause a reasonable person under the circumstances to be frightened, intimidated, or emotionally distressed.
2. A person commits the crime of stalking if he or she purposely, through his or her course of conduct, harasses or follows with the intent of harassing another person.
3. A person commits the crime of aggravated stalking if he or she purposely, through his or her course of conduct, harasses or follows with the intent of harassing another person, and:
(1) Makes a credible threat; or
(2) At least one of the acts constituting the course of conduct is in violation of an order of protection and the person has received actual notice of such order; or
(3) At least one of the actions constituting the course of conduct is in violation of a condition of probation, parole, pretrial release, or release on bond pending appeal; or
(4) At any time during the course of conduct, the other person is seventeen years of age or younger and the person harassing the other person is twenty-one years of age or older; or
(5) He or she has previously pleaded guilty to or been found guilty of domestic assault, violation of an order of protection, or any other crime where the other person was the victim.
See Section 565.225, RSMo.
Dating Violence: The Missouri criminal code does not list this as a separate offense. Note, however, that the definition of "domestic violence" above includes within it "any person who is or has been in a continuing social relationship of a romantic nature with the victim." In accordance with Federal law the College collects statistics for these offenses using the definition contained in the Violence Against Women Act. That definition is listed later in this report under the section entitled "Crime Statistics."
The majority of sexual offenses that occur on campus communities are committed by people known by their victims. Often, these types of assaults are not reported to police or campus authorities because people do not think this unwanted sexual contact constitutes sexual assault since they know the assailant. These assailants, however, are able to continue to exploit people by manipulating that trust. By reporting these incidents, you will significantly decrease the likelihood that this individual can subject another person to this type of victimization.
The following are warning signs of abusive behavior, the recognition of which will help mitigate the likelihood of perpetration, victimization or bystander inaction:
Explosive temper
Mood swings
Extreme jealous or insecurity
Making false accusations
Individuals are encouraged to take safe and positive steps to prevent harm or intervene when there is a risk of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault or stalking against another person. This includes reporting such incidents to appropriate authorities. Other steps that can be taken include:
Believe someone who discloses a sexual assault, abusive relationship, or experience with stalking or cyber stalking.
Be respectful of yourself and others.
Watch out for your friends and others.
Speak up- If someone says something offensive, derogatory, or abusive, let them know the behavior is wrong.
The College provides primary prevention and awareness programs for new students and employees. The following is a description of them:
Each semester, all new students will participate in awareness and prevention programs offered through the new student orientation.
Residence hall programs occur each year focusing on healthy relationships.
The residence halls will provide prevention and awareness information at the beginning of the semester mandatory meetings.
The College also provides ongoing prevention and awareness campaigns for all students and employees. The following is a description of them:
Programs on healthy relationships offered through Christian Ministries.
Individual and group counseling available through licensed counselors in the Student Counselling Center.
Every two years, all employees will participate in awareness and prevention programs offered through the College's annual all-employee meeting.
Restraining Orders
Any student or employee who has a restraining order, order of protection, no contact order or any other such order issued by any court or the College against another individual (whether or not that individual is also a student or employee of the College) is highly encouraged to notify a campus security authority of the threat and to provide a copy of the restraining order so that it can be kept on file with the Security Department and can be enforced, if necessary.
Procedures to Follow if You are a Victim of a Sex Offense:
If you are a victim of a sexual assault, go to a safe place and call 911 or Campus Security at 417/690-3000. You should also contact the College's Title IX Coordinator Rick Hughes at 417/690-2211. Victims will be notified in writing of the procedures they are to follow, including:
The importance of preserving evidence that may be necessary to prove the offense in a criminal proceeding or disciplinary action or may be helpful in obtaining a protection order. Therefore, victims should follow these guidelines:
Do not remove clothing items worn during or following an assault, as they frequently contain valuable fiber, hair, and fluid evidence.
Don't bathe or wash, or otherwise clean the environment in which the assault occurred.
Save any electronic communications from the perpetrator of the offense.
Options for pressing charges can be deferred, if you will go to the local hospital emergency room and ask for an exam and for evidence of the sexual assault to be collected and sealed.
To whom and how the alleged offense should be reported.
The following options regarding notification to law enforcement:
To notify either on-campus Security personnel or local law enforcement;
To be assistedby a campus security authority in notifying law enforcement if the victim so chooses; or
To decline to notify such authorities.
Available Victim Services:
Victims will be provided written notification about existing counseling, health, mental health, victim advocacy, legal assistance, visa and immigration, and other services available to them, both within the College and in the surrounding community. On-campus services include: medical services through the McDonald Health Clinic at 417/690-3399, and counseling through Student Counseling Center at (417) 690-3441. Off-campus resources are available through the Cox Medical Center-Branson, and through the Victim Advocate program with the Taney County Prosecuting Attorney's Office.
The College will provide written notification to victims about options for, and available assistance in, changing academic, living, transportation, and working situations. If victims request these accommodations and they are reasonably available they will be provided, regardless of whether the victim chooses to report the crime to campus security or local law enforcement. The College will keep information about these accommodations and any similar protective measures confidential to the extent that maintaining confidentiality would not impair the College's ability to provide them.
Procedures for Disciplinary Action:
Allegations of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault or stalking will be processed through the appropriate College disciplinary system. The Dean of Students will conduct an investigation regarding any allegations of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or staking when students are involved. Hearings and investigations regarding the allegations will begin no later than three business days of the original allegations. Depending upon the findings, the Dean of Students will work with the Title IX Coordinator to determine any sanctions and additional reporting that is required. Any allegations involving employees will involve the Business Manager and the Dean of the College (if faculty members are involved.) The Business Manager will conduct the hearings and investigation into the allegations starting within three business days of the original allegations. Depending upon the findings, the Business Manager and/or Dean of the College will work with the Title IX Coordinator to determine any sanctions and additional reporting that is required.
Both the victim and the individual accused of the offense are entitled to:
A prompt, fair and impartial investigation and resolution, with any extension of time frames being only for good cause and upon written notice to both parties of the delay and the reason for it.
A hearing conducted by officials who do not have a conflict of interest or bias for or against either party and who at a minimum receive annual training on the issues related to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking and on how to conduct an investigation and hearing process that protects the safety of victims and promotes accountability.
Timely notice of meetings at which one or the other or both may be present and timely access to information that will be used after the fact-finding investigation but during any informal or formal disciplinary meeting or hearing.
The same opportunities to have others present during any disciplinary hearing, including the opportunity to be accompanied to any related meeting or proceeding by the advisor of their choice. The College may not limit the choice of advisor, but may establish limits regarding the extent to which that advisor may participate in the proceeding, as long as those limits apply equally to both parties.
Have the outcome determined by a majority vote of an impartial panel using a preponderance-of-the-evidence standard based on the totality of the evidence presented.
Simultaneous, written notification of the outcome of the proceeding, any procedures for either party to appeal the result, any change to the result and when the result becomes final.
Possible Sanctions and Protective Measures for Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault or Stalking Offenses:
Following a final determination in the College's disciplinary proceeding that one of the above offenses has been committed, the College may impose a range of penalties depending on the mitigating and aggravating circumstances involved. They include, but are not limited to assessment of financial penalties, suspension, probation or termination/expulsion.
Victims to Receive Written Notification of Rights:
When a student or employee reports to the College that he or she has been a victim of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, whether the offense occurred on or off campus, the College will provide the student or employee a written explanation of his or her rights and options as described in the paragraphs above.
Sex Offender Registration Program
The Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act of 2000 requires institutions of higher education to advise members of the campus community where they can obtain information provided by the state concerning registered sex offenders. It also requires sex offenders to notify the state of each institution of higher education in the state at which they are employed or enrolled or carrying on a vocation. The state is then required to notify the College of any such information it receives. Anyone interested in determining whether such persons are on this campus may do so by contacting Dean of Administration at (417) 690-2204. The Missouri Highway Patrol maintains a general registry of sex offender information, which may be accessed at the following link: http://www.mshp.dps.missouri.gov/MSHPWeb/PatrolDivisions/CRID/SOR/SORPage.html.
Drug and Alcohol Policy
College of the Ozarks, in order to promote its fundamental mission, has adopted a zero tolerance policy for the use, possession, distribution or manufacture of illicit or illegal drugs or the consumption or possession of alcohol. Therefore, it enforces state and federal drug laws and state underage drinking laws. The College will not tolerate any use, possession, distribution or manufacture of illicit or illegal drugs, or the improper use of all legal or prescription drugs by any student or employee on campus, off campus, or while attending any school sponsored or sanctioned event. Such actions will result in suspension or expulsion of the student; an employee will be subject to discharge. The consumption or possession of alcohol on school property or while attending any school sponsored or sanctioned event is strictly prohibited and will result in suspension, expulsion or the employee will be subject to discharge. For the student, the consumption or possession of alcohol off campus may result in probation, suspension or expulsion. Included in the student handbook are standards of student conduct that clearly prohibit the unlawful possession, use or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol by students. The handbook section entitled "Disciplinary Policies and Procedures" defines "possession or use of alcohol or illegal drugs as cause for dismissal from the college." Employees involved with illegal drugs or controlled substances on their own time will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including discharge. In addition to any punishment imposed by the College, any student or employee suspected of violating any federal, state, or local law proscribing the use, possession, distribution or manufacture of illicit or illegal drugs, or the unlawful consumption or possession of alcohol will be referred to the appropriate law enforcement agency.
The College reserves the right to require a drug test from a student or employee where there is a reasonable suspicion that the College's drug-free policy has been violated. Failure to submit to a drug test is a major violation of the disciplinary rules and will result in suspension or expulsion.
Detailed information about the physical effects of alcohol and drugs, penalties for convictions, and substance abuse prevention education programs and resources is available at the following link: www.cofo.edu/Page/About-C-of-O/Consumer-Information/Drug-Free-College.335.html#legalsanctions

Policies on Portable Appliances, Smoking and Open Flames
The use of open flames, such as candles, and the burning of such things as incense, and smoking are prohibited in campus housing. Only surge-protected extension cords are permitted. Only the following portable cooking appliances are permitted to be used in campus housing: Microwaves, and other non-exposed heating element type of cooking appliances. Also, tampering with fire safety systems is prohibited and any such tampering may lead to appropriate disciplinary action.
The College reserves the right to make periodic inspections of campus housing to ensure fire safety systems are operational and that the policy on prohibited items is being complied with. Prohibited items will be confiscated and donated or discarded if found without reimbursement.
Fire Evacuation Procedures
In the event of a fire, the College expects that all campus community members will evacuate by the nearest exit, closing doors and activating the fire alarm system (if one is nearby) as they leave. If circumstances permit at the time of the evacuation, additional instructions will be given regarding where personnel are to relocate.
Fire Education and Training Programs
Fire safety education programs for all residents of on-campus student housing and all employees with responsibilities related to that housing are held at the beginning of each semester. Their purpose is to: familiarize everyone with the fire safety system in each facility, train them on procedures to follow if there is a fire and inform them of the College's fire safety policies. Information distributed includes maps of each facility's evacuation route and any fire alarms and fire suppression equipment available in the facility. Attendees are advised that participation in fire drills is mandatory and any student with a disability is given the option of having a "buddy" assigned to assist him or her.
Reporting Fires
The College is required to disclose each year statistical data on all fires that occurred in on-campus student housing facilities. When a fire alarm is pulled and/or the fire department responds to a fire, these incidents are captured. However, there may be instances when a fire is extinguished quickly and an alarm is not pulled or a response by the fire department was not necessary. It is important that these incidents be recorded as well. Therefore, if you are aware of such a fire, see evidence of one or hear about one, you should contact the Point Lookout Fire Department at (417) 690-3333 so they can investigate and do a report. When notifying them provide as much information as possible about the location, date, time and cause of the fire should be provided.
Plans for Future Improvements
As residence halls are constructed, the buildings are built to the standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) for the time in which the building is built. This includes central fire alarm systems, fire notification, and fire suppression systems. As buildings are renovated, they are brought up to code for the type of structure and purpose for which they were designed. At this time, there are no plans for any future improvements in fire safety.

Zaid Ibrahim Should Look at The Implementation Roadmap Rather Than Putrajaya
Zaid, the former de facto Umno Law Minister, said today's convention was testament to PR's will to put aside their almost irreconcilable differences to serve the voters by replacing what he called a corrupt BN government.
"We were told that we cannot stay together, the supreme leader of Umno, (former premier) Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said if we are allowed to govern, everything will be destroyed.
"Of course everything will be destroyed, everything about Umno will be destroyed," he said.
Well said, Zaid. However, instead of looking so far at Putrajaya he should focus on the implementation roadmap of Pakatan's common platform. There are many crucial tasks in hand.
Most of the Pakatan's pledges are not something which can be achieved now. The catch is if we want these pledges implemented, we must vote Pakatan to power at the federal level. Ironically, DAP which supported the local council election and vowed to convince PAS over its sectarian concern is now saying that only the federal government can approve the third vote.
Parties within the coalition still need to put their own house in order before they are deemed fit for power. Errant and irresponsible elected representatives and leaders among their ranks will have to be purged out. We must vote for quality representation and not for their low quality candidates.
Zaid should work on the cohesiveness between component parties. This is a work in progress. In the past, they had collaborated and called off their partnership because they cannot handle defeats. Electoral defeats will be the greatest test of its cohesiveness.
Will the blame game resurface if Pakatan did badly in the 13th general election? Will party leaders start throwing stones at their own glass house?
Big issues which were not addressed in the convention will not go away. Issues such as Malaysia's Islamic state status, Malay supremacy, race based affirmative action, power sharing formula and others will reemerge once the coalition wins federal power. These issues will have to be addressed sooner or later.
Despite Anwar's call for all component parties to break away from their racial shackle, the three parties are still working within their rigid race and religious framework. Anything about pork, beer, sexy dancers, religion or race will still work up some segments within these parties.
PKR is still a party of racial colonies. DAP is Chinese based and PAS is Malay based.
The question for Zaid to ponder is what can really be implemented now? What can PR can give us now bearing the fact that it controls 4 state governments?
Talk is cheap. Declarations are cheap. Voters have learned that pledges may change once power is entrusted to the party making them.
Instead of piecemeal opposition against some policies, why don't Pakatan leaders tell us how they intend to run the economy differently from the Barisan. We need urgent attention here. The Malaysian economy is a slack and a poor performer.

Dear Khoo,
While I agree with most of what you wrote, I completely disagree that DAP is a Chinese-based party. It is not.
DAP is being perceived as a Chinese-based party only because UMNO/BN has been systematically lying to Malaysians that DAP is a hardcore Chinese party out to take Malaysia away from the Malays and the Malay folks are falling for it.
Anyone, red, white, black, yellow or green have an equal opportunity to helm DAP and I'm certain DAP leaders are ready, as they always have, to welcome them into the party.
As a personal observation, I feel that DAP should have a Public Relations wing specifically to target our Malay and Indian countrymen and those from Sabah and Sarawak, to highlight the fact that DAP never was, never is, and never will be a Chinese-based party. It is a party for all Malaysians not only at the grassroot level, but at the leadership level. Any one with the right qualities and political conviction has an equal chance to lead DAP.
I think theres not much point in PR reiterating what to do for the economy. Everyone today knows what to do for the economy. The answers are already there. The question is execution and the will to see things through properly.
The problem with BN is they are not capable of executing what is needed for the economy because the UMNO warlords need to maintain their system of generous patronage in order to retain themselves in power.
It's no longer a question of what needs to be done. Its a question of who is capable of doing what needs to be done.

What can PR really do in the 4 states??? A lot of funding comes from the Federal guys.Civil servants same gang.Worst hindering private developments!! I hope the economy can wait until the next GE.
Imagine while you son's enjoying his birthday party with his friends, you came out from no where and shouted "have you done your homework yet?"
Man, you are such a jerk ! Anyway can't blame you , a banana who try to be white, never learn any Chinese manners.
Talk is cheap, while the rest of us are on the streets in campaigns making a difference, you "talk" on your blog.
What have you done? For all we know, you are not even registered to vote.
If you got nothing positive to contribute, shut the fuck up.
Yeah. I think I quite agree with the last comment made by one of the readers, "If you got nothing to contribute, shut..." Khoo, you are questioning the pakatan leaders as though they are in power at Putra jaya. You got to understand, the MSM is waiting, yes, waiting especially Utusan to maul the pakatan leaders ideas as soon as they are given birth. The pakatan leaders don't stand a chance. They just can't simply talk when they have no power to implement. So please contribute or just shut up and listen and support.
- Aramsa said...
You are kinda rude to Mr. Khoo KP.
Just because you think you "are on the streets in campaign", you have the right to behave in this manner. If being on the street give you the reward, are you saying you can be made the minister as well when the opposition wins over putrajaya. Please think and don't talk nuts. If are an opposition I give you face writing to you here. If you are an umnoputra, i would have ignored you and let you continue to malice and behave in your stupid manner
Debate is a moot point in Malaysia.
What Khoo is saying in this article is correct. Tell the rakyat what is the plan to bring in the cash. No money, no talk. Whatever BN is doing today, people still have some money in the kitty. So what has PR agreed to do different from BN, to bring in more money into our individual kitties?
All PR gets worked up is about politics. Like Clinton and before him, Reagan, said, "Its the economy, stupid."
And yeah, DAP is very much an MCA in disguise. Come to Penang and tengok tengok lah.
- Lee SH said...
As long as the political party is fighting along racial line, it is clear and no two way about it.
Stay away from racial line, focus on Malaysian. A very high % of people in Malaysia are born here.
Also stay away from religion line, as in Malaysia religion is kind of linked to race say what you like.
Focus on the common ground i.e. to make Malaysian progressive and live in harmony as Malaysian.
In other words Bangsa is Malaysian.

Comments Thread For: Not Pound for Pound Champ For Champ 2012
by Cliff Rold - Boxing has lots of belts, too many arguments comparing fighters from different weight classes who cant fight, and too few of what still makes it a sport.
Boxers fight in weight divisions. Weight divisions are defined by their champions. Not every man who claims the mantle of champion lives up to it. Those who do rarely get the celebration they deserve.
Once a year or so, it is worthwhile to point out some of the men who exemplify what it means to be a champion. Not all of them hold lineal titles. Some may not have clear claim to being the best in their class. But these are the men who best display what the competitive point of it all really is, or at least should be.
So, no, this isnt about any pound-for-pound silliness. Noted in 2009 for the second annual list and repeated since, lets consider the mantra for the annual Champ for Champ analysis:
A champion isnt just a guy who holds a belt. A real champion is a fighter who holds his crown for a while, matching at least semi-regularly with real top ten contenders, and leaving the ring still buckling the strap around his waist.

Floyd doesn't belong anywhere on this list as a Welterweight or Jr. Middleweight champion. He's only defended the former title once since winning it in May 2010 and never the latter.
Perhaps those asking should, like, read the piece they're commenting on.

This list is kind of jacked up. If your going to look at the belt holders only, shouldn't it be the guy who has held it with the most defenses on top? To ignore the P4P guys and the guy who has the most consecutive title defenses makes the list a contradiction. You should of just did a P4P list then. Good concept, bad execution.

Oops, something didn't work.
Way to go! What happened to your old notebook, now that you have the new one?
Sadly, I'm expecting webslices to fail horribly simply because nobody is going to implement them. I mean, look at ebay. Why do you have to go to a special search page? Why didn't they just render all auction pages with web slices? If the number one example
that's always given for webslices doesn't even feature them by default, what's that going to say for the rest of the web?
I don't know. The popularity of this feature relies on broad implementation, and so far, I'm not seeing any indications of that happening.
I have to give it back as it's actually a loaner given that my Dell 1330 was...unsound. A team normally keeps an extra laptop so if someone's laptop dies, they can have use the loaner.
Good points, IE8 certainly has lots of work ahead for them. My biggest wish would be to be able to have a great extensibility model using managed code and built-in support in Visual Studio for building/debugging addins.
more or less a mad-man-show
This is our goal
Brian and I interrupt each other is because one of us knows a story deeper than another,
...with one word: "cool". That's not informative
Hmm, not quite, on Popfly I gave my personal view and pain on using custom audio, I explained how the data structures and algorithms book is a bit different in that it covers pseudocode, or how massive the changes were to NGen for SP1, all in the first nine minutes.
