I. Roll Call
II. Approval of Minutes
· Approved!
III. Approval of Agenda
· Approved!
IV. Guest Speaker
· Jerry Martinez Director of Financial Aid: an update of whathas changed, changes in last year and how they impact us a students and whythey were made them. Two new F.A. (Financial Aid) counselors, alphabetized forsplitting counselors. No counselor's on staff previously. Helps to effectivelycommunicate to have a better relationship between FA office and students. Whythe split between FA and cashier? Designed a plan to separate two functions, wedon't want one office to have all the power to do both. FA is now on the groundlevel of Taylor. FA is now housed with admissions to help create enrollmentmanagement, so these needed to be together (FA & Admissions). Movedeverything for prospective and continuing students to an online format. Allowedservice to be quicker, and access form all homes, ability to accept FA packageonline.
o Q: Getting a hold of refund check? Why not send a genericemail before, for less traffic to FA office?
o A: We did actual send out emails, a big campaign last march.This fall we implemented entire online access. With fall semester bill, explainedhow refunds would be distributed email is the best way for us to communicatewith students. Check your email! That's how we notify, and no longer notifyparents. Email campaign hopes to get students acclimated before the fall, and springhopefully will be better. It will only take 24 hrs to distribute checks inspring. Bill pay system allows access away from Gunny, set up payment plan, setup third party pin access. Imperative to communicate with parents about what'sgoing on. Take's at least a yearto get used to a new system. It is more efficient for FA office.
· Work-study was a big one this fall, award less. Last 3-4years Western has been overspent on work-study. Decided to reduce award ($1450avg. student), average this year was ($1500). Awarding money that was not beingused, and tied up too much money when money was spent. Satisfactory academicprogress, required to make this measurement, rules have become stricter to monitoron a per semester basis and to be stricter on these guidelines. The economy isnot good, with a high budget deficit the Pell Grant is approximately 32 Billiona year. 75% of all courses need to be completed each semester with a passinggrade. If in bad standing, one semester to get in good standing, if notpossible and a student has two back-to-back semesters on bad standing then astudent goes on probation. Also, cumulative GPA must be above a 2.0 as of July1st. Awards that went out this year more quickly and more often, toaward up front and then if the fed's needed documents then students will knowprior to paying. Notification of additional information comes in May. The morecommunication the better for everyone.
o Q: is there an offer to get a paper check?
o A: one time this fall there will be a possibility to get paperchecks. This is an option for students to help get settled under variouscircumstances.
V. Action Items
· Sustainability Conference Bill-
o Senator questions: what will each students role be? How muchof a part do all three students have?
§ Initially four roles created, student oriented, where the other2 work with recycling and facilities, things began to morph, roles are workingwith res. life, waste production, product consumption. Presenting sameinformation it is a team effort to do this. Similar roles together, and stillforming, sustainability coordinator is usually a paid position. It shows theability of teamwork, divide and conquer and then reevaluate. All bring varioussources of knowledge to the group.
o Q: justify hotel cost of $672, type of hotel, location,price
§ A: one room, 3 coordinators as well as boss. DoubletreeHilton hotel in Pittsburgh walking distance to conference, don't have to dealwith cab fares. The one further away was also more expensive.
o Q: How much do you think you have saved at Western StateCollege of Colorado
§ A: I don't think you can actual quantify our work at WesternState College of Colorado since most of it is communication and outreach.
o Q: Have you moved any closer to other resources?
§ A: Spoke with boss about other possible sponsorships. Shemay be willing to make a donation. Also, will speak to SAC, and reevaluatefunds from sustainability coalition.
o Q: What is the return on the conference?
§ A: A couple of initiatives to make on campus, unknown ofwhat it will look like, maybe a communication system to better work on thecampus as a whole across disciplines. A bigger and better brainstorm of what ishappening on campus.
o Q: Address the importance of being allocated an hour?
§ A: This is very prestigious; many students only get 20 min.rather than an hour. Being acknowledged for doing a great job at Western StateCollege of Colorado, where other students are not doing the same things is anhonor.
o Q: What will you be presenting?
§ A: Address why positions came into play, why faculty andadministration came together to created this image on campus.
o Q: How was the power pledge?
§ A: At orientation gave power strips to any studentsinterested in participating, figuring out how to quantify change per floor, orper building. Perhaps these questions can be answered through surveys.
· Motion to pay for plane tickets and to re-discuss after sometime to see if alternate funding is available ($960)
o Allocating $960 now, to revisit next week on the followingexpenses.
VI. Discussion Items
· Allocation of internal $4,000 and $6,000 from bill ($3,000is from PC co-sponsorship)
o Grace: In the spring we allocated a full budget making theassumption that full enrollment would exist. We are short 17K. What to do now? Wethought we would have 337K but we actually have 319K. We now get to decide whatto do. Options: nothing, 1% budget cuts, and giving all money with accessreserve, or a combination. 45K in reserve, required to have 20K in reserveunless extreme emergency, then 18K in reserve that we could spend to cover. 2Kwould be left in reserve if we covered everything. Club sports when in withouta budget, so they cannot even make copies of conduct. We assumed 10K would goto clubs, but now they have nothing and so do we. We could reduce 4K frominternal (left with 3K for yr.), bill fund would be cut by 6K (6K left/yr.) Whatto do with the shortfall? Open to discussion.
§ Club sports are important to enrollment and retention. 17Kshortfall, reserves are there for emergency, next year we can figure somethingelse out. If we don't grant club sports money it will discredit whole campaign.SGA surplus goes into reserve. Retention at Western 60%, for students in clubsat Western State College of Colorado it is closer to 75%. Club sports startingto fundraise and create incentives, donate X$ and have an incentives forfundraising. This is their basic operating budget.
o Q: Money for emergency-what is considered a biggeremergency?
§ A: This would be considered an emergency, mandatory reserve.We have never faced if we go below our reserve. Last year we overspent by 5Kbut interest covered it.
o Q: How can we be more frugal in future years, in caseenrollment continues to decrease?
§ A: We can make ways to cut money. We won't be able to see asmany bills and cut on luxury items like name-brand candy.
o 10K we want to pull from current spending cash for entireyear, to keep the afloat. It is a large enrollment tool, which is necessary forsustaining Western State College of Colorado.
o Vote on club sports today
o 1% cuts would decrease by 3K.
o Motion to give 4K from internal for sports (Everyone) Passed
o Motion for senators to cut 6K from bill for sports (7/7)Passed
§ Club sports have money
o Motion to move budget discussion to next week.

XIII. Late Roll Call
XIV. Adjournment

It's enough to warrant a few raised eyebrows and a handful of double-takes, but no one hassles him. Nor should they, at least not under a legal pretense. Hamann, who is "a firm believer in following the law to a T," is well within his rights to walk around with a visible loaded handgun in the state of Maine (just not in a school zone).
Hamann, 27, grew up in Lyman, a woodsy town about 40 minutes southwest of Portland. He studied computer science for two years at the University of New Hampshire before tuition became too expensive, and he's currently unemployed and job-searching (having held various retail positions over recent years). He's a computer gamer, a sport-shooter, and a sandy-haired, outdoorsy type; his YouTube handle is boyscout399.
Over the past four years or so, Hamann has become something of a gun activist — though he claims to bear that label reluctantly. Since he started regularly carrying his gun in 2008, he's been stopped by law-enforcement officers about a dozen times for no reason other than the visible presence of a firearm. He's gotten a couple of these encounters on film or audio, and the recordings suggest that local police officers aren't quite sure of correct procedure when it comes to civilians and their guns. Hamann's goal is to fix that.
"I would say I am an activist," he admits. "But I don't want to be. I just want the police to leave me alone so I can go about my everyday life."
It all started in May 2008, when Hamann was walking around Back Cove with a holstered handgun in plain sight. (You do not need a permit to do this in Maine.) A group of passers-by called the police to report a man with a gun. Several squad cars arrived on the scene, and Hamann was approached and ordered to the ground by police officers who had their guns drawn. He was searched; the officers found three pocket knives (Hamann claimed he used them at work) — which they declared to be concealed weapons under state law. Hamann was arrested and spent six hours in Cumberland County Jail. The incident was reported by the local news media. He was suspended from his job at Staples. All because he was exercising his right to openly carry a firearm. The charges were ultimately dropped.
"It really opened my eyes," he says. "Prior to that, I thought cops knew the law." Hamann insists that the search was illegal. In some ways, Hamann says, his efforts are more about Fourth Amendment rights (which protect against unreasonable searches and seizures) than Second Amendment ones (which codify the right to keep and bear arms).

Tim White is standing with a group of restless men atop a ridge in the Afar desert of Ethiopia. A few of them are pacing back and forth, straining to see if they can spot fragments of beige bone in the reddish-brown rubble below, as eager to start their search as children at an Easter egg hunt. At the bottom of the hill is a 25-foot-long cairn of black rocks erected in the style of an Afar grave, so large it looks like a monument to a fallen hero. And in a way it is. White and his colleagues assembled it to mark the place where they first found traces, in 1994, of "Ardi," a female who lived 4.4 million years ago. Her skeleton has been described as one of the most important discoveries of the past century, and she is changing basic ideas about how our earliest ancestors looked and moved.
From This Story
Related Content
More than 14 years later, White, a wiry 59-year-old paleoanthropologist from the University of California at Berkeley, is here again, on an annual pilgrimage to see if seasonal rains have exposed any new bits of Ardi's bones or teeth. He often fires up the fossil hunters who work with him by chanting, "Hominid, hominid, hominid! Go! Go! Go!" But he can't let them go yet. Only a week earlier, an Alisera tribesman had threatened to kill White and two of his Ethiopian colleagues if they returned to these fossil beds near the remote village of Aramis, home of a clan of Alisera nomads. The threat is probably just a bluff, but White doesn't mess with the Alisera, who are renowned for being territorial and settling disputes with AK-47s. As a precaution, the scientists travel with six Afar regional police officers armed with their own AK-47s.
Arranging this meeting with tribal leaders to negotiate access to the fossil beds has already cost the researchers two precious days out of their five-week field season. "The best- laid plans change every day," says White, who has also had to deal with poisonous snakes, scorpions, malarial mosquitoes, lions, hyenas, flash floods, dust tornadoes, warring tribesmen and contaminated food and water. "Nothing in the field comes easy."
As we wait for the Alisera to arrive, White explains that the team returns to this hostile spot year after year because it's the only place in the world to yield fossils that span such a long stretch of human evolution, some six million years. In addition to Ardi, a possible direct ancestor, it is possible here to find hominid fossils from as recently as 160,000 years ago—an early Homo sapiens like us—all the way back to Ardipithecus kadabba, one of the earliest known hominids, who lived almost six million years ago. At last count, the Middle Awash project, which takes its name from this patch of the Afar desert and includes 70 scientists from 18 nations, has found 300 specimens from seven different hominid species that lived here one after the other.
Ardi, short for Ardipithecus ramidus, is now the region's best-known fossil, having made news worldwide this past fall when White and others published a series of papers detailing her skeleton and ancient environment. She is not the oldest member of the extended human family, but she is by far the most complete of the early hominids; most of her skull and teeth as well as extremely rare bones of her pelvis, hands, arms, legs and feet have so far been found.
With sunlight beginning to bleach out the gray-and-beige terrain, we see a cloud of dust on the horizon. Soon two new Toyota Land Cruisers pull up on the promontory, and a half-dozen Alisera men jump out wearing Kufi caps and cotton sarongs, a few cinched up with belts that also hold long, curved daggers. Most of these clan "elders" appear to be younger than 40—few Alisera men seem to survive to old age.
After customary greetings and handshaking, White gets down on his hands and knees with a few fossil hunters to show the tribesmen how the researchers crawl on the ground, shoulder to shoulder, to look for fossils. With Ethiopian paleoanthropologist and project co-leader Berhane Asfaw translating to Amharic and another person translating from Amharic to Afariña, White explains that these stones and bones reveal the ancient history of humankind. The Alisera smile wanly, apparently amused that anyone would want to grovel on the ground for a living. They grant permission to search for fossils—for now. But they add one caveat. Someday, they say, the researchers must teach them how to get history from the ground.
The quest for fossils of human ancestors began in earnest after Charles Darwin proposed in 1871, in his book The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex, that humans probably arose in Africa. He didn't base his claim on hard evidence; the only hominid fossils then known were Neanderthals, who had lived in Europe less than 100,000 years ago. Darwin suggested that our "early progenitors" lived on the African continent because its tropical climate was hospitable to apes, and because anatomical studies of modern primates had convinced him that humans were more "allied" with African apes (chimpanzees and gorillas) than Asian apes (orangutans and gibbons). Others disagreed, arguing that Asian apes were closer to modern humans.
As it happened, the first truly ancient remains of a hominid—a fossilized skullcap and teeth more than half a million years old—were found in Asia, on the island of Java, in 1891. "Java man," as the creature was called, was later classified as a member of Homo erectus, a species that arose 1.8 million years ago and may have been one of our direct ancestors.
So began a century of discovery notable for spectacular finds, in which the timeline of human prehistory began to take shape and the debate continued over whether Asia or Africa was the human birthplace.
In 1924, the Australian anatomist Raymond Dart, looking through a crate of fossils from a limestone quarry in South Africa, discovered a small skull. The first early hominid from Africa, the Taung child, as it was known, was a juvenile member of Australopithecus africanus, a species that lived one million to two million years ago, though at the time skeptical scientists said the chimpanzee-size braincase was too small for a hominid.

All of a sudden, Bali is wondering whether its boom in international visitors is over.
In the past five years, Australia has led the way in the rush to Bali, which is now the top international holiday spot for Aussies. In the past few years, Australia has also become the No. 1 source market for Bali visitors.
But, in the first month of the new year, the growth in visitors to the island suddenly halted, which prompted the local Bali Update newsletter to speculate whether the drop-off would continue through the year.
"Is the party over?" Bali Update last week headlined one of its leading articles. "January 2013 foreign arrivals suggest Bali's halcyon days of growing tourist total may be at an end."
Of course, statistics jump around, but it's interesting that the drop-off was consistent in many of Bali's leading markets.
Over all arrivals in January, compared with the same month last year, were down from 248,289 to 212,657 or more than 14 per cent. The number of people arriving from Australia was down nine per cent, although the 58,000 Aussies who headed there dwarfed the influx from the next-biggest markets, China (25,000) and Japan (16,000).
"Although still early to begin predicting where the year will end, if the 14.35 per cent January decline is emblematic of the entire year ahead, Bali will end 2013 with 2.47 million tourist, far short of the 2.892 million foreign tourists who came in 2012," the newsletter.
Noting the fall in Australian arrivals, it said: "A recent survey declared that the USA has supplanted Bali as Australia's most preferred overseas holiday destination."
In fact, New Zealand is the biggest destination for Australians, although Bali and the USA are now jostling for second place.
I wonder whether over the next few years where we travel will depend more and more on the strength of the Australian dollar.
One of the great attractions of the US nowadays is the shopping because the Aussie dollar is worth more than the Greenback.
That won't last forever, but there's no indication that the AUD will return to its Pacific peso status anytime soon.
Australians in their hundreds of thousands are already shopping online in the US; it's logical that a desire to physically shop in the States becomes a new trend, even though it may not be readily apparent in the reams of statistics published by the tourism industry.
In any case, tourism trends are a moving feast. Remember when Australia was flavour of the month for Americans and Japanese? In the case of the latter at least, the Japanese dropped Australia as their favourite favourite in the 1990s and, even though planeloads of Japanese still arrive in Australia every day, they're now much more inclined to look at alternatives for holidays, like China and Europe.
The Australian tourism industry isn't as worried about that as it used to be, since China has become the hot new replacement market for the Japanese phenomenon.
It's still possible to pay $2000 for a return ticket from Australia to the US, but it's now also possible to get one for around $1200 depending on the time of year.
The surge in travel between Australia and the US still hasn't caught up to the number of seats on the route, which became available when Virgin Australia began flying to the US and America's Delta started a daily flight from Los Angeles to Sydney.
Qantas is also exploiting demand for travel from Australia to the eastern US with its exploratory service to Dallas, Texas, going daily last year.
How has your desire for international travel changed in the past few years? Are you bored with Bali? Are you planning a US shopping holiday? Do you find the shopping is better in Asia or elsewhere? If it's a choice between Asia and the US, who wins? Post your comments below.

Re: Update From the Dev Team Front-lines - All Read
Sarcasm? Muah? NAH! Hehe
You will redeem the Champions Blade and Armor via a specific location in the PSN Store. We will tell you where and how at launch, that simple.
I personally worked my tail off with the dev team to make this reward possible, and simple for you.
And you are very well thanked for that hard work as well there Tank! That sarcasm comment was meant for the dude above your post named xSPAWNx1 lol. I laughed at the way his comment was because it seemed like sarcastic humor to me, though I could have interpreted it wrong. I very much look forward to experiencing the single player portion of the game as well as going all HAMMERTIME on some faces in multiplayer >
Re: Update From the Dev Team Front-lines - All Read
Hey GoW pips just wanted to say keep up the good work my feedbacks are here i think that sword/blade is quite a bit weak but the hammer is perfectly fine tho and i just want to suggest by putting some more RPG feel games like WoW GW2 etc something like hack n slash to monsters quest to defeat big monsters same as kratos gameplay but this time has coop, gaining exp, hard to find loots/items or quest something like that but if not thats fine with me i will be a GoW fan forever! WOOSHhhhhhh
Magic Armor missing.
The game runs smoothly and I have been playing it allot when I find the time, my only issue is that there is no armor in the beta that boosts magic will it be available in the final build?
Re: Magic Armor missing.
I can't wait to see the full game
I know the interactive kill scenes would take more time, but they would be interesting in the multiplayer as well, performing a kill and needing to press the right button at the right time for a brutal kill, but also missing and giving the dying player a second chance at life.
Re: Update From the Dev Team Front-lines - All Read
I got my membership today and loving the mutliplayer game and plus the update , keep on coming guys !
Re: Update From the Dev Team Front-lines - All Read
As a long time GoW fanboy i really do Njoy the Multiplayer on a combat point of view u pretty much f*cking nailed it uuhhhhh...... if you can remember there is like a red flag on the main menu with all your teams names and enemies on Im just wondering as a fan u can bring it back 4 the beta just to see if it works if not its really ok its just a suggestion im just trying to help
Re: Update From the Dev Team Front-lines - All Read
just noticed a big problem that whenever the host disconnects we dont get the xp. i think after the host decides to leave they should be penalized and the match should still go on either way.
my eyes see fine in the darkness..
Re: Update From the Dev Team Front-lines - All Read[ Edited ]
Hello, you all.
I've been playing the Beta since Jan 8. Pretty cool game!
I've noticed some minor issues:
It happened just once, but I think this bug could be easily replicated. In FOTG, if you activate the archers and Hercules happens to be shooting his blue wave (wich is a cool feature! I got one or two deaths every time lol), there's a chance the arrows fall on him. That caused Hercules to stay in the arena as he was in his stand-by spot, and when the time came for him to shoot his blue wave again, he just "dug" into the arena and of course nothing happened and nothing affected gameplay. So we were never affected by Hercules!
Also, this happened just a couple of hours ago. It took very long to get in a FOTG, and when I finally did, we where 3 people in the arena. Pretty cool. But then a guy left, and I started pummeling my only foe. So in my third or so brutal kill in a row, this guy disconnected from the arena and I was left alone! It would be good to see a message like "hey, we are getting more ppl, so hang on!" or "Exiting in 10, 9, 8... because of No Players here." or something. I had to wait for three more chests so I could "win" the match.
And last one. I think Triangle button is a little overpowered. I mean, in my first games, I started to play like in single player, old school god of war mode. You know, the old Square, Square, Triangle combo that is VERY effective on single player. But then, the parry. So, ok. I learned that people is good at this! So I started playing only with the Triangle button. Huge sword to the ground and people bounces a little, then two Square slices, then R1. There goes half of your life bar. And it works every time because Triangle is unblockable. There should be an item or magic or something that lets you block even the unblockable hits. I don't know, maybe for a minute or half a round. It's kind of unfair that I have ended games with 10-1 and 8500 Favor. It's insane.
Those are the only details I've noticed that affect gameplay and multiplayer.
Thank you all you developers. This is looking pretty freaking awesome!

RIC's First GreenDependence Scholar
John Fulton
Rhode Island College sophomore John Fulton is the first recipient of a $10,000 GreenDependence scholarship established at Rhode Island College this past fall by the National Grid Foundation, the philanthropic arm of National Grid.
RIC is one of five colleges across the country selected to serve as pilot institutions for this scholarship.
Fulton said he was "honored" to receive he scholarship. "It's great to see Rhode Island College and a private organization working together for future generations," he said. "I hope the scholarship continues."
Fulton is a nursing major who holds a grade point average of 3.8. He will receive $3,000 a year in his sophomore, junior and senior years. Additionally, he will receive a $1,000 grant to support a senior-year community service-learning project of his choosing in the area of sustainability. He said he has not yet decided on the project.
Jim Murphy, coordinator of RIC's sustainability program, was on the faculty committee that selected Fulton. He said, "John is the type of student who is not afraid of hard work, which is refreshing in this day and age. His work ethic shows in his schoolwork and in his role as vice president of the RIC Environmental Club. He is also a sustainability advocate who leads by example in all that he does."
Applicants for the GreenDependence scholarship must be full-time students, with a minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA and demonstrated financial need. Applicants must also submit essays (maximum 500 words), describing their interest in green/sustainability issues and how this scholarship will help them achieve personal and educational goals.
As an alternative, applicants may submit a short video describing their interests in green/sustainability issues.
Applications for Green Dependence scholarships are available at RIC's Office of Financial Aid.

So untrue.
Martin is heads and tails better then all cut back runners in this draft with the possible exception of David Wilson.
Put them next to eachother and Martin definitely blows away the competition (and the only reason he isn't the #1 back is because Richardson has both ability and prototypical size (and I think Martin actually may win here if he proves to be another MJD or Ray Rice).[/quote]
I just disagree. I watch them all and I see nothing special about Wilson or Martin compared to the later backs. Slightly better players yes, but not that much better.
Im not the only one who feels this way either - "Want a RB at 32? Several scouts tell me there's equal value in several RBs being projected as second-, third-, and even later-round picks." - Vacchiano[/quote]
My daughter is about as qualified to scout college players as Ralph Vacchiano is haha.
The trick is who will emerge in the NFL ... I could certainly be wrong (and admittedly am the worst judge of college talent translating to the pro level).
But what I see when I look at Doug Martin is MJD or Ray Rice (and Doug Martin looks a ton more impressive then Ray Rice did in college (Rutgers fan here)).
I like small thick backs (heh) who have great balance and low centers of gravity. They seem to do well in the NFL.
But I would be ok with Turbin in the 3rd as well and I think a power rusher would compliment AB better in fact.

It has nothing to do with who's accompanying me to the meal either. I could be by myself, with friends, or on a date and it never fails that I'm mistakenly passed over as either the carpet or the wallpaper. So over the years I've learned a few tricks to grab people's attention.

^and why do you think that only Hashirama is the only equal to Madara,i admit Madara is a godlike historical figure who has already kicked the asses of the 5 kages as he is an edo tensei zombie who keeps respawning ,but once he is alive(meaning obito dies), it is possible to kill him, we all know someone is going to stop mostly likely Naruto, he is already a kage level shinobi and so is Sasuke
i am hoping there is Sasuke's involment in killing Madara(i am not saying he becomes good and joins the alliance), as Madara is also an ugly spot on the name of Uchiha and there is less chance of Sasuke killing Obito even though Obito is his target,

It seems like Sasuke will be the last living Uchiha unless Obito gets stuck in izanami and has to change his ways but Itachi is no longer around.
Obito saw Naruto was doubting himself as he reached out for Obito's hand so it may be harder for Naruto to change Obito. Maybe Kakashi will reveal something about Rin which could help Naruto change Obito to be good.

I would had liked, if either of these scenarios would have happened:
1. Sakura would have realized that Sasuke is just a silly childhood crush that was way off and then she could have build feeling for Naruto in satisfying way. But Kishi seems to hate this kinda approach which is actually even small way realistic IRL.
2. Naruto would have realized that Sakura is silly bitch stalled on stupid childhood crush and just grew up of her and then developed a relationhip with e. g. Hinata or someone else in satisfying way.
But what happened made everyone really hate Sakura, even though some people still tends to hope Naruto ends up with that delusional idiot.
Hinata is not at all better when it's written like this. Who would marry someone just because they can't have anyone they would actually have feelings for.
Yeah.. and I forgot 3. which still can happen, Naruto takes nobody during this manga and says "no" to Hinata.

Heck these things don't even have to be that complicated as even subtle nods can serve well if executed right. For instance, just showing Naruto and Hinata hanging around each other during those moments of downtime talking about nothing would at the very least have shown a growing friendship which can be the set up for romance furthar down the line; you can find ways to imply that they have been getting closer off screen. In a more robust manner, hinata could have simply given a bigger role in the story thus giving more opportunities for her and Naruto to develop; For instance, adding her to the mission where they go after the akatsuki spy would have allowed her to play a similar role as sakura did when Naruto was consumed by the 4 tails. There are just so many way Kishi could have developed their relationship that would not have taken a great deal of extra effort or been distracting to the series. When it comes down to it, Naruhina does feel forced because we jump from nothing to something signficant; kishi couldn't be bothered to establish and develop their friendship and yet he pushes them into a relationship through the most contrived of ways even to the detriment of his over characters.
Second of all, Kishi himself started the romance subplot back at the very beginning of the series. One of the most prominent aspects of Naruto's team was the love triangle between them; and that's not counting the secondary characters. Heck, Sakura's character could have practically been defined as the "usual school girl" in a ninja setting; kakashi himself said that girl's her age were more concerned with boyfriends than being ninjas . Can't just start something and then half-ass it
Its not just leaving it to fans imagination, its being downright sloppy. He wants to have these relationships, but he doesn't actually want to put energy into developing them; that's what makes them feel forced.

Stuff like Sharingan genjutsu, or sound based genjutsu seem to be way more useful. As a medical ninja, doing extensive genjutsu training would be a waste for her right now.

While it pains me to say this, its not really as if they're in a romantic relationship just yet. While many of us are assuming that's probably where Kishi is implying their relationship will be headed in the future, I wouldn't say that's where it's at currently. Yes, Hinata "loves" Naruto. That's been established from the very beginning. But at this point, I'm not entirely convinced those romantic feelings are mutual. All I would safely assume is that Naruto has officially come to acknowledge her as another very close friend who would gladly lay down her life for him. At the very least, I hope we can all agree that Kishi's provided enough framework for Naruto to plausibly feel that way about her. I mean she only had to play the meat shield role twice.
Assuming the two are still alive after the war, its safe to say, she'll no longer be mitigated in Naruto's mind as the shy but friendly acquaintance. With Hinata growing more of a backbone in her interactions with Naruto and with Naruto finally acknowledging her as something more than an acquaintance, we can definitely see how the two might actually start interacting more on a regular basis off-panel.
Case in point, I think its wrong to a degree to fault Kishi as if he forced a NaruHina romantic relationship on us. At most, Hinata might've just been elevated to the same level of friendship and importance as Naruto's team 7 comrades. So I perceive these current chain of events to be Kishi's way of finally laying down a plausible, firm, foundation for an eventual *mutual* romantic relationship to be built upon (which seems to be exactly what you rather have seen from the get-go Slayerx). Granted, Kishi has not been very efficient at this, but hey--I guess its better late then never.

Of course when it comes to love interests the author goes to the extremes as usual, by that i mean that the characters just can't get over the fact that their love interest either doesn't love them back or they are killed. It's completely unrealistic that people like Jiraiya, Tsunade, Obito, etc. are sticking to someone who they loved at age of 12 and cannot move on with their life. If this was common the ninja world would be extinct within 2 or 3 generations considering at what high rate they die Well maybe that's why there are no Senju any more

I think that in a fighting shounen everyone should fight. Hinata is weak as hell and supposedly the medic of her team but she still fights and is arguably less boring than Sakura.
As you said, Sakura is a medic. Most of the time she will be behind her team-mates. Genjutsu would allow her to provide support from a distance instead of putting herself at risk. She could've had superstrength as well as genjutsu. It wouldn't be a waste for her, it would only be a waste for those of us who don't care any more.
Finally, compare Sakura to another female ninja, also from a normal family with no bloodline limits, no passed-down techniques or special chakra, who was also trained by one of the sannin for approximately the same amount of time as Sakura. Now remember how far Konan managed to push Obito (even to use Izanagi) and imagine how Sakura would fair against him. Konan would have probably defeated Tsunade if they fought.

What you state here is one great way to do so, but perhaps the extra effort isn't worth it when they're already quite successful as it is. Admittedly though, I have no idea how the manga industry works. I can remember reading American titles such as X-Men, Punisher and Spiderman back in the days... The pages were pretty full of dialogue; especially in comparison to this manga. ...But maybe the American titles aren't like that anymore, since that was a while ago.

BTW, Hinata isn't a medic, she's a scout and tracker in a team of scouts and teackers.
As I said earlier Sakura has only been learning medical ninjutsu for 2 years and has already progressed to an amazing level, something that must have taken up all her time. How much stuff do you want her to learn anyway?

Were not talking about a real human being, there's no need to be so charitable with expressions like "probably didn't have time". Kishi could've crammed as many or as few techniques he wanted in those 3 years and there would be no reason to question it. As an example, Sasuke learned a shed-load, Naruto learned none. Simple fact of the matter is that he doesn't want to do anything with her which is why she came to be irrelevant.
Scout, healer, doesn't matter... they're all ninjas. Ninjas fight. Sakura is a ninja too, shes not a white mage. Tsunade isn't sitting safely in the back waiting for someone to carry the injured kage over to her.
Tsunade wouldn't be able to do anything against Jiraiya either. She lost to a pre-timeskip Kabuto. Konan would beat Tsunade, easily. As for Sakura vs Obito, forget that. It was a bad example. Not that it's wrong; just that it's unfair on Sakura. Even with all of Konan's knowledge and time to prepare, even with an extra 100 years to prepare, Sakura would never be able to lay a scratch on Obito with the techniques she currently has. Just compare what Sakura's techniques do and what Obito's techniques do.
Anyway, taking on a boss character isn't what I expected from Sakura at the start of part 2. I just thought she'd have a more protagonistic role than Tenten, and she doesn't.

UTSA student and counselor
UTSA Life: UTSA Counseling Services offers support, advice and learning assessment
By Lynn Gosnell
Special Projects Writer
(June 5, 2008)--UTSA Counseling Services is home to support groups, learning assessments and advice for managing life's hurdles. This begins a three-part series on the continuum of care offered to UTSA students by Counseling Services. This story centers on services concerning developmental issues, the second will focus on adjustment issues and the third on crisis intervention.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus

By last December, Robert, a junior history major, was falling drastically behind in his studies, and he had a pretty good idea why. He had struggled in high school with some issues related to reading and language comprehension.
"I have to memorize words. I can't sound them out," he explained. Learning new languages proved challenging. Finally, the intense academic requirements of a history major and literature minor began to catch up with him. He requested assessment services through UTSA Counseling Services.
Students often wonder, "Is my problem big enough?" to justify a call or walk-in visit to counseling services, said Thomas Baez, UTSA director of counseling services.
Students can find assistance through Counseling Services for the normal challenges of college life -- relationship issues, making the transition to college from high school, homesickness, time management, academic stress and identity issues.
All services are delivered with confidentiality and respect. The use of counseling services does not appear on a student's academic record. Except for nominal charges for the testing and assessment, there is no extra charge.
Robert completed a battery of comprehensive tests administered by UTSA staff psychologists for a $50 fee. Completing these tests with a private clinician could cost up to $1,500, he learned. Within a couple of weeks, Robert had the results that documented his language-related learning disability.
"I had all the info I needed before spring semester began," he said. Robert is now able to take advantage of the accommodations offered by Disability Services.
Learning disability assessment is just one of the many services available for all students through UTSA Counseling Services.
Thirteen clinicians, as well as master's-level counseling students, offer services in both individual and group formats. According to staff members, groups offer a less structured, more laid-back setting for discussion and support.
For example, the Women's Resource Center under the direction of Counseling Services and located just across the hall from the 1604 Campus office, offers ongoing support groups including book groups. Last spring, a group read and discussed Alice Walker's "The Color Purple."
"The discussions are amazing," said Brittany Biley, a UTSA psychology major and certified peer educator who co-facilitates the group with a clinical staff member. "You hear people talking about their experiences as they relate to the book. It's supposed to be an hour, but to be honest, we usually go over," Biley said.
WRC offers a variety of groups and services focusing on women?s and gender issues, as well as a resource library. Many programs are open to men as well, said Biley, who notes that the groups run in the fall and spring semesters only.
The WRC also has developed a peer education program called CURE (Campus United for Respect and Education). Supervised by staff, the program trains volunteers who then do outreach work around campus, educating students about healthy relationships, sexual assault and prevention, and suicide prevention.
There are many ways to find out about ongoing and new programs, said Baez. Watch for fliers around campus, check the television monitors or visit the UTSA Counseling Services Web site.
- Recreation and Wellness Center Room 1.810, 1604 Campus, (210) 458-4140
- Buena Vista Street Building Room 1.308, Downtown Campus, (210) 458-2930
Students can schedule an appointment or, for a first visit, they are encouraged to come in during walk-in hours, which change each semester.

Former Radio DJ Reflects on 50th Anniversary of the Beatles Arrival in the U.S.
Gerry DeWitt says the Beatles influenced more than music
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - When the Beatles arrived in the U.S. 50 years ago this week, they started a journey that influenced more than just music, with their lyrics and opinions that were soon talked about by politicians and religious leaders.
Former Santa Barbara radio announcer, Gerry DeWitt, who hosted the show "60's Revisited," recalls the Beatles arriving in New York to a crowd of screaming young people.
They were on their way to the Sunday night Ed Sullivan Show for what would be the first of three consecutive appearances in February of 1964.
But shortly after that, there came a change, and the Beatles grew up fast.
"They arrived in '64 and by Rubber Soul (album) in 1965, they were already changing directions and putting out music that made you think about things beyond boyfriends and girlfriends and holding hands. And John in '65 was saying 'that was great at the time, you can always go back,but that is not where we are anymore,'" said DeWitt.
By the start of the 1970's the Beatles had broken up.
Their influence lived on, in music and society.
"It's hard to take one away from the other, but The Beatles - you have to point to as the ones who brought it all together," said DeWitt.
He said the Beatles waited until they had a number one hit before they touched down in the U.S.
"I think it was largely the Beatles personalities that made them so acceptable. And you couldn't do better," said DeWitt.
These days, Apple records has been able to put all of their work, on a flashdrive, that is included in a collectable set.
Note: Locally there will be a special Beatles event at the Carpinteria Plaza Playhouse takes place this weekend, which includes Beatles cover bands, and video highlights of the Fab Four on their U.S. visits.
Among those schedules to appear, Dennis Mitchell, host of Breakfast with the Beatles, a nationally syndicated show. Also talking about his days with the Beatles, acclaimed music producer and musician Alan Parsons.

Plex is Built for Manufacturers
Manufacturing ERP software is not all the same. Historical ERP software solutions involve painful implementation projects followed by challenging periodic updates – often forcing companies to go years without updating their ERP system. Meanwhile, these same companies lose value day after day as new features and functions elude them, only implemented with the next painful 'big bang' upgrade.
Modern manufacturing ERP software from Plex takes a different approach. No more waiting. No more upgrades. New features are added daily to a single line of code, shared instantly with all Plex customers. Those customers not only realize renewed value daily, but share best practices real time with other peer Plex customers, all of which have access to exactly the same features, functions and capabilities enabled by a true, single ERP software code SaaS cloud offering.
ERP software solutions should truly be just that; solutions. Manufacturers are often tempted by ERP software vendors touting strong financial, accounting, and even retail ERP software solutions and systems. None of these, however, do the one thing they need particularly well – manufacturing.
Plex is different, offering the only ERP software solution built from the ground up in the cloud and focused exclusively on manufacturing. At Plex, we know manufacturing isn't just part of the business: manufacturing is the business. The Plex ERP software solution is purpose-built to fit your manufacturing business needs, evolving with you while adding value daily.
Manufacturing ERP software is not all the same. Plex can help you be different. Find out how.
Manufacturers have moved beyond the need for non-integrated point solutions to solve their challenges – they require a true ERP system. Beyond individual, bolt-on products, an ERP system enables connectivity between companies, their customers and their suppliers.
An ERP system must fit the business needs of a given company, while offering a broad array of capabilities designed for that business. With an eye toward the future, the right ERP system gives companies the power to scale at their pace while adding constant value in real time.
Move your business forward with a true ERP system. Find out how.

Bush was president were: the Department of Justice, the Secretary of State ("not inclined" was Condi's explanation), the Vice President (who preemptively announced he would probably not comply with such silliness and didn't), the White House Counsel, the White House Chief of Staff, the White House Political Director, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff, the White House Deputy Political Director, the White House Office of Management and Budget, and so on. There's a collection of these subpoenas (the targets being Republicans) over at http://democrats.com/subpoenas
Congress held lots of the aforementioned bums in contempt, as did most of the rest of us. But it didn't actually hold them. In fact it expected the Justice Department to do the enforcement of the subpoenas -- even those addressed to the Justice Department. In decades gone by, Congress used to make use of a power called inherent contempt, which meant the power to preserve its own existence by compelling witnesses to cooperate and holding them in jail on Capitol Hill until they saw fit. No more. Now "inherent contempt" is just the feeling that bubbles up in the stomach of your average American when a member of Congress walks by. Don't believe me? Check the polls. Pink slime in your hamburgers is significantly more popular than Congress.
Now the blue and red slime in Congress have switched sides. Now Republicans want to hold a Democratic Attorney General in contempt. Get in line, schmucks! This is a government with secret trade deals worse than NAFTA, secret meetings to let health insurance executives "reform" healthcare, secret drone wars, not-so-secret wars launched in defiance of Congress, executive orders throwing out half the Bill of Rights, and wild claims of state secrets powers made in courts to protect law-breaking predecessors, corporate partners, and themselves. This is a White House that won't tell Congress how its murder by drone program is legal or how it justifies killing unidentified people with "signature strikes." This is an administration that tells senators to their faces that they will be informed of any war on Syria or Iran after it's begun. These guys used to hide the White House visitor logs and now just hold their meetings away from the White House. John Dean and Daniel Ellsberg are in agreement that secrecy has reached new heights. And now, finally, you want to hold them in contempt? Get in line!
Most contemptible, of course, is that virtually nobody in Washington gives a rat's derriere about the institution of Congress or the representation of majority will or enforcement of the rule of law against the powerful. The branches of government are now the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. The remnants of the previous system are employed for motivations created in the current one. So, when the President is a Democrat, the Republicans in Congress toil and sweat to give him the power to lock people up without charge, deploy the military within the United States, spy into every corner of the land without probable cause, etc., because they want those powers for Republican presidents and for the military. But they also go after the Democratic administration viciously on usually less serious but highly inflammatory matters. Meanwhile, the Democrats, who are outraged by any and all presidential abuses by Republicans, are eager to help Obama dwarf King George III's list of crimes before the Fourth of July.
The trouble is not that we just happen to be trading back and forth between horribly bad presidents from one party and even worse presidents from the other. The trouble is that when you give absolute power to an individual, it corrupts him absolutely. Listen to all the lamentations over Egypt's weak president. The founders of the United States allowed this country to last as long as it has by creating a weak president. Egypt's problem is an empowered military. Our problem in the United States is an empowered military, corporatocracy, and president. What we need is power for the people and their legitimate representatives. Electing a really great all-powerful dictator from a benevolent and progressive third party is no more of a solution than is lesser-evilism. A move toward an actual solution would be observable if Congress actually came to care about being more than a crowd of court jesters. It could start by enforcing all outstanding subpoenas and requests from the past 12 years, regardless of party.

The ancient Greeks could tell us of our class, Empire, totalitarian degeneration ......but Western class thugs are not listening. They only repeat the same failed class states, failed class history, same totalitarian outcome, including Western Fascism, in two historical cycles. The first fascist Axis was German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese corporate, Empire Fascism........The second Axis, round of Western Fascism, is Amerikan, Israeli, Nato Fascism, a global fascism......that needes to be smashed, defeated, preferrably, politically, by social classes around the world, as NAZI GERMANY itself.

No, Kye mate, the "Yellow Peril" was in days of yore always the feared & enigmatic (& very inscrutible) oriental, denizen of the opium den..........however the said yellow peril from "down the road" rides a very small bike, very fast, taking off toes willy-nilly given not even 1/2 a chance!
I have taken to venturing out with a very long & whippy cane, on the off-chance that said peril trying to extract my nether appendages with said bike might give me the chance of jabbing a spoke or two as he whizzes by!

Our Portuguese friend's grandmother from Galicia had an expression when she would use when she was very, very angry, 'Me caga na hostia divina' meaning 'I sh*t on the holy wafer'. The children would do things to make her angry to cause her to say that because they liked it so much.

Re: favorite colorful expressions
Horse expressions here include the translations of most you mentioned, but there is always this one:
to grin/smile like a honey cake (=ginger bread) horse. (grinsen wie ein Honigkuchenpferd)
No idea if they mean horse shaped ginger bread or what? And why is it grinning? But it means that the person is grinning/smiling/beaming from one ear to the other

Thoughts on elearnsecurity.com Training
I followed a recent trail from EH to elearningsecurity.com and was wondering someone could give me the feedback on their experience with the whole training process.
Couple Questions.
1.) Being on the Admin side for so long and not the black/white hat side, does these courses train is such a way that someone with my experience could understand and retain and not just throw out random how-to's.
2.) My MCSE was was $8k. My MSTS was $6,500. My MCTIP was $10k. This entire course and cert is only $650? WOW. Why?
Thanks in advance.

PlayBook: All Smoke And Fire
The Red Sox and the 160 million dollar slump.
Where there's smoke there's usually fire and when a team starts 1-5 there is both. Granted six games is not an awesome sample size for a 162 game season but it's never too early to panic. Not in Boston. Never in Boston! We fucking love panic in Boston. Five alarm fires are our thing. Through the Tito years we acquired a taste for winning and now we expect it. We're the new brood, born of Beckett in the house of Epstein; we've never known all the times they've tried, all the gut wrenching Game 7s and the wins that came "too little, too late." The '67s ,'78s, the '86s and the '99s. All the Impossible Dreams and the torment of the Big Red Machine. The Aaron Boones, the Bill Buckners and the Bucky Fucking Dents. The Curse and every single series we won "three games to four."
We owe the world to "the idiots" but we'd be mindful to remember our past. Winning was for a long time not a word widely associated with the Sox; 86 years is a lifetime to live when you're losing.
Still, starting 1-5 is a tough take, straight, no chase in the small New England towns where baseball is above all else a living, breathing thing. Coming off collapse we were all expecting a little less chub, less chicken and beer and chaos in the club. Among other things we were expecting ERAs under 10.00 and batting averages above .204. We were expecting wins and chemistry and hitters who don't chase every 0-2 slider halfway down the banks of the river Charles. But what we got were misfits who look just as lost as they did when they dropped a 9.0 game lead in the late goings of last season. Nine games and a month of nothing but 160 million dollars worth of miserable misfit baseball.
But so what? No memories of a better time will ever make up for a run right now; baseball is a game of what have you done for me lately. All the World Series in the world won't wash away the wound of winless swoon but every blown save will haunt you. Every homerun that was never supposed to happen will stick in your craw until the day you die. Every knuckler that didn't knuckle, every "space ball" still stuck in the stratosphere. Every 1-5 start and 7-20 finish. Every two-out, full count swinging strike in the bottom of the ninth with the bases loaded will remind you that baseball is a blood sport and oh do we love to bleed.
This is a game for full time fans that goes beyond records and runs. We will moan and groan over wins and losses and grumble about every agonizingly obvious blown call. But we are here for the whole, the ups downs and everything in between. Baseball is more than the sum of its parts, more than a passing game or season or swoon. It's an ongoing story and for better or worse we're 1-5 games into the next chapter with six months more to play.

New Dollar Coins - Will we use them
Original post made by Interested, Another Palo Alto neighborhood, on May 17, 2007
I remember in Britain when the first Pound coins came out, no one liked them for a variety of reasons (the same as here). Then, all the vending machines started taking them and we needed to have them for buying rail tickets, parking permits, etc. as well as for food and beverage machines. Up until this time the vending machines only took coins, not paper money. Suddenly, it was much easier to use coins in bigger denomination instead of loads of small coins and everyone started liking them.
I feel that one group will like them - the blind. They can at last have a $ to use that they know is a dollar and nothing else. I have no idea how the blind manage here as all bills are the same size. In other countries, the bills are different sizes so that the blind can tell which is which. I expect that they would like a $5 coin too.

Dollar coins are quite handy for parking in San Francisco. In many places in the city parking is $3.00 per hour. Feeding nickels, dimes, and quarters into those grinning meters becomes ridiculous. I keep several dollar coins in my car for trips to S.F.

In Europe they've had 1 and 2 euro coins since the euro was introduced a few years ago. That would be roughly equivalent to $1 and $2 coins.
Well, they all complain about the 1 euro coin, saying that they end up with a lot of them in their wallet which ends up being heavy, and that they'd rather have 1 euro banknotes instead. And I would agree. When I am in Europe I always end up with this heavy, full, wallet. It would seem to me, the same thing will happen with $1 coins...
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on May 17, 2007 at 10:52 pm
Right on Walter! I have spent way too many dollar coins as quarters, even when I'm make a conscious effort to differentiate.
Dollar coins can be a convenience, but I will continue to avoid them until they make one that can instantly be told apart from a quarter by looks and feel.
(I've never noticed such confusing similarities in European currencies.)

I believe someone proposed a silver dollar sized plastic coin whose lighter weight might overcome one objection to coins. During WWII there were plastic ration tokens that seemed to wear well. The plastic coin might even incorporate an electronic means of validation.

One big difference here to Europe (including Britain where Pounds are still used, not Euros) is that Europeans tend to aim to give exact change rather than get change back. This tendency prevents them from getting over fat wallets. As I see it, the reason why the same doesn't happen here is because of sales tax and not knowing what the exact money is until you actually have to pay so you end up getting out a big bill knowing that that will cover it. For example, if you want to buy a magazine which is marked as costing $2.50, you will get out $3 in ones, or $5 bill and expect some change. In Europe you would get out the exact money and not have to wait for change. In other words, take up less time at the check out. Here, if I wait until I am told how much I have to pay, I hold the line up looking for the correct money and waste my time as well as those in line behind. If I could know what the exact money was I would be out in half the time and so would everyone else.

If you plan to use them for vending machines, stock up and carry in a separte coin purse. For the rest of us they are too heavy and can't easily be told from quarters - especially in dim light.

What, as an example, is a "great attacking defense"? Which teams are those?
I like his defense. If we had better linebackers this would be an excellent defense. Just sit back and think about how bad our linebackers are. We cannot avoid this issue in the draft.
I strongly disagree with the common thought that our defense played a "solid" game. Giving up over 120 yards on the ground to Morris is not considered by any stretch of the imagination solid defense. Giants had a 16-10 lead and the defense let the Skins drive very easily down the field to score a game winning touchdown then in a situation where they needed to force a punt to give Eli one last chance, they failed. Multiple times in fact on that very same drive. Don't let the 17 points fool you

text: A little while ago I got my hands on Sylvania's newest automotive lighting product the new LEDriving bulbs. At 10.99 per bulb they are really expensive, but they are worth every penny. The lights are advertised to be 150% brighter than regular bulbs and have a color of 6000K. I'm unsure of the life rating, but I assume it is very high. The bulbs are 100% street legal and can be used anywhere except the turn signals or other flasher. They fit snugly in to a standard 194 socket and are super easy to install, just plug and play. You can instantly see the difference in brightness. Here are some pics of before and after: I installed them in the map lights in the front and the front under dash lights With all the lights on it looks like day time. Its an insane diffidence of the license lights. You can even see how bright they are during the day. Currently you can't buy these lights and I'm not sure why, but I can't find them anywhere. Thanks to my new buddy Brian for hooking me up with these sweet bulbs.

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum. I've always wanted to build a Boba, and now I've had the chance to start. I've been sort of creeping on this website, learning the ways of the Boba build, and I'm created a blog of the process of mine. There was another blog I saw someone did of a Boba, and it was set up great, so I wanted to use the same website.
I would like to post on here and learn more from you guys, you are a very knowledgable bunch of people. If you could leave any tips that would be awesome, I'm going for 501st so if you see anything that I need to change don't hesitate to let me know. I feed from constructive criticism, it's how we improve in what we do.

I'm gender gifted because I wear a flannel shirt occasionally and I have a vagina.
by jackintosh11 November 23, 2015
Gender Gifted refers to a person who's capacity for gender expression exceeds the binary. It is a positive term and can be applied to anyone who enjoys to challenge cis gendered normatives, whether it be in frame of mind, in presentation, or as an ally to loved ones who challenge the binary gender divide.
That person doesn't fit 'he' or 'she' as a pronoun, they're Gender Gifted and would be better addressed by name.

Music Department
Welcome to the Music Department at Hunter College
The Department of Music at Hunter College, part of the City University of New York (CUNY), offers a variety of courses and degree programs catering to the needs of a diverse student body.

Private lessons are available on all instruments and voice, either with Hunter faculty members or with expert teachers outside the College. Most degrees can be completed in the evening, as well as during the day.
There are approximately 150 undergraduate music majors (B.Mus. and B.A.) and 80 M.A. students (in Composition, Ethnomusicology, Music History, Music Theory, Performance, and Music Education, via Hunter's Teacher Education Program) in the department. Classes for majors rarely include more than twenty students, and much individual attention is given to each student in the classroom. In addition to academic courses and private lessons, the Music Department presents numerous events each semester, including concerts, guest lectures, master classes, and festivals on different themes.

Prof. Burleson will be performing a solo recital on July 25th, and Prof. Nguyen will be performing on the Faculty Artist Concert, taking place on July 24th. Other artist faculty members this summer include Vladimir Feltsman, Jerome Rose, Alexander Kobrin, and Jeffrey Swann.
The IKIF takes place from July 16-30! Please check out the website for Faculty Artists, Application, Schedule, Tuition, the IKIF Competition, and more.
A limited number of full scholarships are available to current Hunter College piano majors, and current Hunter students have opportunities for free or half price tickets to Masters Series events in the Kaye.

NEWS: Newly arrived in the Hunter Music Department! A 1969 William Dowd double manual harpsichord, based on a 1782 instrument by Shudi and Broadwood, in the Victoria and Albert Museum. It was the largest harpsichord made in England, and the sound of this instrument is righteously resplendent. The instrument itself was just very generously donated to us by a retired department faculty member, Evelyn Kugler.
