I grew up watching Star Trek loyally, and I'm pretty sure Captain Kathryn Janeway is one of the few reasons why I managed to be somewhat normal. So, when Enterprise began airing, I watched every single episode, and Phlox, a Denobulan doctor, quickly became one of my favorites.

While the Obama Administration is definitely behind green initiatives and reducing vehicular carbon emissions, they have officially started cutting ties with hydrogen fuel-cell technology in favor of plug-in electric vehicles.
The DOE secretary Steven Chu stated yesterday that hydrogen vehicles are still 10 to 20 years from being practical and consequently the federal government will be dropping millions of dollars of hydrogen fuel cell funding from next year's budget.
This announcement was in stark contrast to what Chu stated several weeks ago when he announced that $41.9 million for hydrogen projects.
Obviously the latest announcement has ruffled some feathers. The National Hydrogen Association immediately fired off a statement that decries the cuts as stifling to hydrogen fuel cell technology development, which they claim is showing "exceptional promise and beginning to gain market traction."
A sentiment reflected in the fact that this year's New York Auto Show named the hydrogen fuel cell powered Honda FCX Clarity (pictured above) was named the World Green Car of the Year.
What do you think? Is hydrogen technology worth investing in or is the Obama Administration right to just focus on electric cars?

This leaves action by Rwanda's neighbours as the only practical alternative likely to stop the massacres or end the civil war.
The United Nations Secretary- General, Boutros Boutros-Ghali, has asked the Organisation of African Unity to draw up a plan for ending the crisis, which the UN could then endorse.
US officials appear to be floating the idea of African intervention, helped financially and logistically by the US, to see how it would be received. Officials told the New York Times that the plan was still at a preliminary stage but the alternative was to do nothing at all.
There is a precedent for regional intervention in Rwanda in the deployment of the Nigerian-led West African peace-keeping force to stop the civil war in Liberia. Rwanda's immediate neighbours - Uganda, Tanzania and Zaire - all have weak armies that could scarcely intervene unless supported with equipment and transport.
At the beginning of last month, when the UN Security Council voted to cut the UN force in Rwanda to token size, African members said they would prefer to have seen it reinforced. At the time none offered to send troops.
The Clinton administration is conscious it is suffering political damage because of its failure to achieve its ends in Bosnia, Somalia or Haiti. Officials in Washington feel that criticism is often unfair because the problems involved are intractable, and they do not want to become involved in Rwanda unless they can see some prospect of success.
GAHINI (Reuter) - An exodus of refugees fleeing to Tanzania from tribal slaughter in Rwanda dried up when advancing rebels occupied the frontier, a UN official said yesterday. A relaxed band of rebels lounged at the Rusomo border bridge, the only escape across the Kagera River from south-east Rwanda.
On the Tanzanian side, exhausted Rwandans, some with bloody feet bound in rags, slept on open ground or sheltered from rain under bushes. On the Rusomo bridge lay piles of machetes which Tanzanian soldiers guarding the border had ordered refugees to leave behind.
Most of the refugees who crossed at Rusomo belonged to the majority Hutu tribe and were fleeing in fear of mainly-Tutsi rebels of the Rwanda Patriotic Front, witnesses said.
Jacques Franquin, a UN High Commissioner for Refugees official, said from the north-west Tanzanian town of Mwanza that an estimated 250,000 people arrived in the 24 hours before RPF fighters reached Rusomo bridge at dusk on Friday.
'From the moment the RPF arrived they stopped coming, but it's dangerous to allege they have closed the border,' he said. 'Maybe we have some displaced people still inside Rwanda who want to leave but are scared of the RPF. There is no proof. Another theory is all those who wanted to leave have already gone.'
The RPF denied that it had prevented refugees from fleeing, and appealed to those who had crossed the border to come home.
'The RPF denies unfounded reports to the effect that it might be stopping people from fleeing and has closed the border on that side,' said rebel Radio Muhabura, monitored by the BBC.

Fluctuating temperatures this winter have put a lot of stress on roadways resulting in an early outbreak of potholes. Potholes can be dangerous for drivers and can cause serious damage to your vehicle. Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) offers motorist's safety tips
and insurance advice to prevent pothole pitfalls.
"Potholes are not only a nuisance but they can also pose a serious hazard to drivers and their vehicles. Driving cautiously is always important, but more so on roads filled with potholes. The best advice for dealing with potholes is to avoid them and minimize potential damage if you strike one," says Ralph Palumbo, IBC Vice-President, Ontario.
Safety tips to avoid pothole pitfalls:
Here are some indications that you should take your car into the shop to have it checked for damage:
Insurance Bureau of Canada is the national industry association representing Canada's private home, car and business insurers. Its member companies represent 90% of the property and casualty (P&C) insurance market in Canada. The P&C insurance industry employs over 118,600 Canadians, pays more than $7 billion in taxes to the federal, provincial and municipal governments, and has a total premium base of $46 billion.

Almost three years ago we were burgled and I was quite badly injured by one of the burglars as I tried unsuccessfully to stop him stealing our possessions at two o'clock in the morning. I ended up with 14 stitches in three head wounds as a result of being struck by my own circular saw. At least it was not running at the time – it was used as a club.
We were insured with Saga and I contacted them by phone later that day. I was given a claim number and told to provide details of the items stolen.
There were at least 11 items stolen, and it took me some time to gather the information but I managed to get receipts or credit card statements to verify the purchase price of eight of them. I made modest estimates of the value of the three that I had paid cash for. You will see I was able to verify the value of 94pc of my total claim for £2,335.
However, I did not send this package of information to Ageas Insurance Limited (acting for Saga) until January 31 2012.
This was a delay of 10 months and was entirely my fault but was due to the difficulty of finding the information. My laptop, which contained many of my records, had been one of the items stolen. Also, I was trying to push the memory of the attack out of my mind.
Since January 2012 I have been trying to get Saga (Ageas Insurance Limited) to settle my claim but it keeps asking me to prove the value of all the items stolen. I am at a loss as to how to do this and I am convinced this is just a stalling tactic.
What do you suggest I do to get Saga to settle my claim?
AW, Berkshire
This has all taken a long time and, as you freely admit, sometimes because of delays caused by you. I, too, have found it difficult in that you haven't provided a telephone number as is required. Given the circumstances I understand this, but it has made it more difficult to help you.
Ageas, the insurer that underwrites your Saga home insurance policy, says it requested you send estimates for replacement costs of items that you couldn't provide receipts for and offered to provide a loss adjuster to assist you, but you declined that offer. There do seem to be some crossed wires here.
However, this has clearly all been very traumatic for you. Further to my involvement, Ageas has reviewed your case. Given the time since the claim and the difficulty you had in providing evidence of costs for the replacement of some of the stolen property, it has now sourced these for you.
It is now paying the £2,335 claim in full. The excess has been waived.
How to contact our consumer champion

Please do not send original documents or stamped and addressed envelopes. Responsibility, legal or otherwise, for answers given cannot be accepted.

In addition, Jessica cannot take up issues when the writer is a third party, other than in exceptional circumstances and cannot respond to emails.

Hi, Can anyone put me in touch with a Max character artist who sells himself on TurboSquid as dmk76
I like a character he sells on the site and wanted to get in touch to discuss hiring him. After a lot of hassle with TS to do with them acting as a go between and buyer seller separation policy they wouldn't help me. I asked them to forward my address to him and they refused :-(.
Is there anyone on CGTalk who knows him/her? I know the artist is active because TS have been in touch with him last week.

Never Again...
Ara blinked rapidly several times. Flamara was in love with him?
Oh baka.
Oh baka baka baka. This shouldn't be happening. No. No no no no no. Not again. Not after the last time.
Looking confusedly at Flamara, Ara cocked his head to one side, black hair flopping into his face, making him look almost comical.
Or it would were it not for the expression of utter despair on his face.
No. I can't let this happen again. Not again, never again, I swore that. Oh baka what am I going to do?
I can't let that happen again. I can't do this, I can't.
But I can't not do it either.
Pinning his ears flat against his head, Ara made a high pitch whine. He'd never felt so distressed in his life, and for once he had no idea what to do about it.
Flamara looked at him inquiringly, reaching towards him. Ara backed off rapidly, knowing that if she touched him he'd give way again.
Which was something he'd sworn he'd never do again.
He had to get out of the room. Now.
With a hurried apology, Ara turned and bolted through the nearest door and vanished down the long corridoor behind it.
He needed to find somewhere to think this mess through.
Before he got too engtangled to extricate himself.

Back when Johnny O'Keefe was the Wild One, he took to looking more like the Mild One instead with ads like this one - flogging off some tasteless Clan Murray knitted cardigan. I guess he had to pay for the booze, drugs and women somehow...and you'd look happy too if you'd just dropped a pile of speed and knew that you'd had a better than decent chance of having casual sex with the model behind you. Somehow I doubt he wore this Italian Collared Bulky Knit when he started screaming those legendary lines:
Well I'm-a just outa school, like I'm real real cool
Gotta shake, gotta jive
Got the message that I gotta be alive, I'm a wild one
Ooh yay I'm a wild one
Oo-oo-ooh baby, gonna break loose, I'm gonna keep her movin' wild
I'm gonna keep her shakin' baby, I'm a real wild child
Anyway, JOK, we miss ya!

Thanks Cheff...
Now this maid be good idea for someone who is not total newbie as I am...and making circuit like this would take additional costs, and I dont have AF generator ...I was hopeing for some simple circuit with two resistors or something...
Which everybody can use...I believe that here is many newbies like me who would like and have nead to match resistors...
Thanks once again Cheff ...
Any other sugestions ???

Matching Resistors
Ok, there seems to be need for an explanation on how to match and more importantly MEASURE low resistance resistors.
There are ways to measure low resistances, and one of the most efficient methods is what is called the 4-wire method. In short this method uses a precision current source and a precision voltmeter.
When measuring the current source is set up to run a precisely known current through the resistance, and the voltmeter is used to measure the voltages that builds up over the different parts of the circuit.
Normal multimeter doesn't go as low in the resistance measurements. This is because the lower values will be inaccurate due to losses in wires, connections and so on. The only way to get around these problems is to use separate circuits for supplying the current that is needed to measure the resistance and the voltage measurement. This is after all the method used, but at normal values these problems doesn't play much of a role.
To give an example on how to do this: To make calculations easy lets say we use a 1A current source. Now to measure the resistance on the parts all we need to do is to measure the voltage over the part. Now if we take a 0.33 ohm resistor as an example 0.3300V should be ideally measured across the resistors. This range is perfectly measurable with a standard multimeter with fairly good accuracy. With a 4 1/2 digit multimeter you will be able to measure resistance with better than milli-ohm accuracy! This means you will even be able to measure the resistances in the contact points! And all you have to do to measure them is to measure the voltage across them and not the resistors. Remember what you are measuring are voltages, and there are no problems with losses when measuring them, and you are using almost infinitely larger inner resistance in your multimeter so your measurements will not affect the measurement.
If you want to simplify it you can dispense the dead accurate current source if you hook in a current meter in series with the measurement. That way all you have to do is use ohm's law to calculate the resistances.
The downside of this measurement method is the high currents involved. The heat losses in the components will soon be a problem if the measurements arent done on power resistors, especially when the resistances are increasing! If you run the same 1A through a 10 ohm 0.6W resistor you'll fry it in seconds! So this method requires knowledge and thinking before using!
Elector has at least one really good article on building a really good low resistance measurement box. This also uses the low duty cycle method to avoid the heating problems. The current is on 1/100Th of the time, and left off the rest. This way the heat in the measured device is only 1/100Th of what it would be without. I have it somewhere but cant find it now (and it is in Swedish...). If interested you should be able to find it if you do a search on their site.
But there are even more advantages, and that is the super matching possibilities! Lets say you have 30 resistors you want to match. All you have to do is to connect them all in series with a suitable voltage source and a current-meter. If we take the 0.33 ohms resistors from the example above you need aprox. 0.33V per resistor (if you want to test at 1A), and with 0.33V X 30 = 10V. If you want to test them at a different current (for example the actual current you are going to use in your amp) all you have to do is calculate the corresponding voltage. You have to see to it that they have the same cooling possibilities they have in the amp! And also possibly a heating period to stabilize in temperature.
Now all you do is measure the voltage across each of the resistors. And remember that the connections have resistances too, and will be taken in to the measurement if you dont remember to place the probe at the right spot! All you have to do now it to match the ones with closest voltages! And since they share the current it will be perfectly equal in each resistor. So the voltage over each resistor is a perfect indication on the resistance.
Hope this helps! Now you should be able to match the resistors even better than the transistors! And this can even be done both easy and without expensive equipment!

Question about Q12a/b
Hi All!
The boards just arrived yesterday (they are really great, thanks Chad) and I'm starting to look them in deep.
I have questions about Q12a\b option.
Is it right that just one of those regulators mast be used? I know is a silly question, but my english can't give me the absolute safeness for this.
In addition, do I have to make the same choice for j1a\b? Is this choice related to the previous (q12a = j1a and q12b = j1b) ?
Thank you for your support.

The one and only
I don't bother to match resistors. I have measured them
over the years, and I find that decent ones hold a tight
tolerance, tighter than Mosfets or other semi's.

Hey Brian,
If we took these and ............ These might cause a bit of hum... and then there are the fans....... Gee.... how to shield them........

Do you guys have any suggestions for starting values of C6, C7, and C8?
C7, and C8 are optional,
But c6 doesnt say it is... (Ref BOM via Hifizen)
Is it true that transformers are suggested compared to SMPS's due to hum and line noise being carried into DC?
And what ar eyou guys going for heatsinks? it'd be nice to have a group order of correct heat sinks
I'm thinking about getting a 80$ set of pneumatic tools (for use with air compressors), that has a drill, a grinder (hand), and a saw... does it sound like a good deal? (i have a craftsman air compressor) (TOols are for the aleph-x's chassis )
For R49, should this be jumpered? or not? or should an actual 0 ohm (burn-up protection?) resistor be used? Any starting value ideas for this?
For R48, any idea-rs for a startin value? (Optional resistor to reduce power dissipation in q6*)
Thanks in advance

Can someone explain the values of R18(28) and R19(29), and why the latter are different on the PCB and the original schematic (68.1K)?

Value of R11 and R33
While we are on the subject on what values resistors should be.... What is the correct value for R11 and R33? In this post the values of these resistors seems to make some problems when using the recommended 47k5! When replacing with 4k75 as some of the schematics floating around seems to use the problem is solved.... Part of the problem as I see it is what values should VR1 and VR3 be set in when the initial testing is done. If they are set at maximum values the total resistance of R11 and VR1 is 147k5. Will this mean full current through the amp?
Just to clarify this, how should the variable resistances be set before testing, and is it safe to use the recommended 47k5 values (or will it possibly blow up the transistors like it did to Blitz)??

Officials, law enforcment community bid farewell to Deputy Aleman
Before a standing-room-only crowd that included Archbishop Jerome Listecki, Gov. Scott Walker and other officials from government and the law enforcement community, Deputy Sheriff Sergio Aleman was remembered as a father, a friend and one who served Tuesday.
At a bilingual funeral mass at St. Patrick's Catholic Church on the city's south side, half of church was packed with friends and family members.
The other side of the church was filled with law enforcement officers and officials that included Mayor Tom Barrett, Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele, Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen, District Attorney John Chisholm and Sheriff David Clarke.
Aleman, 49, an 18-year-veteran of the department, was killed July 31after his vehicle slammed into the back of a flatbed tow truck while on duty. He was married and had five children.
On the funeral program Clarke wrote: "With the tragic death of Deputy Sheriff Sergio Aleman, the professionals of Milwaukee regional law enforcement have lost one of the most committed and passionate partners…"
"He was my best friend," said Arturo Alamo, who delivered one of the eulogies. "We've been friends since 7th grade . . . He gave 110% to all he did. I would have put my life in his hands. He was a man of faith, honor and respect."
He remembered that Aleman loved to sit back and listen to salsa and relax with his family.
Another friend Roberto Borges said: "He always had your back. He never judged you. He had a big heart. He was a true friend and I will miss him."
But it was the emotional words of Aleman's oldest son, Giovanni, that moved many in the crowd to tears.
"He taught me that strength is not how much you can lift, but how much you can endure," he said, sobbing. "He taught me that it's not what a man has done, but what he is doing right now.
"My father taught me that true treasure can't be bought, but that the true treasure of life is life itself. He taught me that the most important lesson is to live, love and to laugh . . . and to live every day as if it were your last because life is crazy."
Many have asked what they can do in this time of grief. "Tell the people around you that you love them," he said.
The crowd broke out in a standing ovation as Giovanni stood, surrounded by his other siblings.
As he prayed over the silver coffin draped with an American flag, Listecki noted that Christ said he had come to serve. "Sergio served in that light," he said.
After the funeral mass, Aleman's his body was accompanied to the cemetery by a procession of police and sheriff's vehicles from around the state that stretched out over four blocks, all flashing their red and blue lights.

"Top B-movie directing talent Albert Pyun ('Nemesis', 'Cyborg', 'Kickboxer 2′) is developing what could be his final movie in 'Napoleon'.
The 61 year old Hawaiian, who unfortunately suffers from MS, has completed his script about the historic French military leader and Emperor, Napoleon Bonaparte and hopes he can lure his 'Cyborg' star Jean Claude Van Damme to take the lead role. Leading France into battles including the Napoleonic Wars and Peninsular War, he was defeated, after his exile to an Italian island, in the Battle of Waterloo.
At present, it's unknown the type of budget Pyun is aiming for, but it's well known he is a master of squeezing every last cent out of what he has available to him and his team and making his films look fifty times as much as what he originally had. It'd be a great move for Van Damme, who could certainly pull off such a role and for Pyun, if it is to be his last movie, the modern day Ed Wood, will go out in style."
For now this is just a rumour but it's definitely something I'd like to see. Maybe in this timeline Napoleon won the battle of Waterloo after delivering a deadly spin kick to the Duke Of Wellington.
"What about me? I have come all the way for a job interview with you," he told director Shankar at a glitzy audio launch function of Vikram starrer Tamil movie "I" which is slated for release soon.
...The Hollywood actor also invited Shankar in making Conan the King. "How about that..How about [making] King Conan?" he asked Shankar. Smiling, Shankar nodded his head and gave him a thumbs-up amid thunderous applause."
"We're thinking, you know, much bigger than just the third movie," he said. "We're thinking, 'How can we make Ghostbusters last another 20 years?'"
Dan was open to the idea of setting a future 'Ghostbusters' tale in London, agreeing, "There are so many great locations here, and in fact true spirits here that are living right now amongst us."
Asked which British actor he'd like to see picking up the Ghostbusting baton, Dan was quick to name action-man Jason Statham, saying, "He's a lot of fun."
Next up we have the cover art for Steven Seagal's Gutshot Straight (out on DVD Dec 2), thanks to our friends at City On Fire
"Steven Seagal is back in Gutshot Straight, a crime thriller directed by Justin Steele (Death and Cremation). Don't let the misleading poster fool you: Seagal is only a co-star of an entourage cast that includes George Eads (CSI: Crime Scene Investigation), AnnaLynne McCord (Scorned), Stephen Lang (In the Blood), Ted Levine (A Single Shot), Vinnie Jones (Midnight Meat Train) and Tia Carrere (Showdown in Little Tokyo).
Also, if you're expecting Seagal to snap necks and break bones, you might be setting yourself up for disappointment. Judging from the trailer, Seagal's role looks like it's dialogue-based. Don't say we didn't warn you."

Statements of Support
Northeastern Students for Justice in Palestine
Reinstatement Letter
Suspension Notice & Our Response
Suspension letter from the University
Our official appeal of our charges
Statement Explaining What has Happened- 03/12
Last week, the Northeastern University administration took the unprecedented step of suspending its chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP). With a robust membership that makes SJP one of the more active student groups on campus, we are deeply saddened and upset that our student organization has the dubious distinction of being the only student org ever banned from campus. We contest every assertion the university makes in its Suspension Notice and feel that its existence represents another episode of disparate treatment SJP receives—on account of the perceived controversy of our point of view.
On May 3, 2013, after being found responsible for violating the handbook's demonstration policy—a charge which we vigorously disputed in both our hearing, and subsequent appeal—we were advised of our penalties and what was required of SJP in order to return to good standing with the University. As a part of our sanctions, we were required to submit a civility statement. Following May 3, 2013 we understood that we needed to create this statement in coordination with the Political Action Council. In the time between when the sanctions were issued and December 31, 2013 when we submitted the civility statement the Political Action Council did not convene a single time. Moreover, the attendance record from the Political Action Council meeting of February 27th 2014—the only meeting of the council held since our sanction—will clearly reflect that
SJP members were in attendance. [It is worth pointing out—though commentary would be superfluous—that no representatives from the student group
Huskies for Israel
attended this mandatory meeting, and their standing as a group for not meeting this responsibility has not been affected.] Our attendance at this meeting, along with our having submitted our civility statement and having complied with the terms of our probation, we began the Spring 2014 semester in good standing.
In the SJP suspension notice, the University charges us with failure to comply with their requirement of "significant revisions" to the civility statement that we submitted. Implicit in this charge is that members of Northeastern SJP had, previous to the February 28 deadline, met with and discussed the content of our civility statement with Robert Jose—a fact which undermines the suspension notice's charge that we failed to "reach out" to Mr. Jose. Furthermore, if given an opportunity, a hearing, to formally respond to this charge, members of SJP could indeed prove that we made several efforts to connect with Mr. Jose.
The suspension notice alleges that SJP was responsible for distributing "mock eviction notices" in student dormitories on February 23, 2014, citing "Twitter and statements made to NUPD officers". First of all, the distribution of "mock eviction notices" was not an SJP sponsored action but rather an act of political speech conceived of and organized by SJP leaders. This is a semantic matter not worth quibbling over. These leaflets were meant to both raise awareness about the Israeli practice 0f Home-Demolition. As an act of political speech, and one that did not require university resources or space, there was no need for SJP to organizationally "sponsor" anything.)
Secondly, in the two weeks between when this action occurred and when our suspension was handed down, SJP was never notified or formally charged with involvement in this action which allegedly violated provisions in the Student Organization Resource Guide. Having been deprived of the opportunity for a hearing in which we could explain that though some individual SJP members may have organized and participated in this action, the majority of participants were not in fact SJP members. Moreover, Mr. Jose's own statement contradicts the basis for the sanctions the university imposes. To quote from Mr. Jose's email to all residents of university housing who received our leaflets: "The flyers were distributed by individuals who did not receive permission from the university…" Northeastern is collectively punishing SJP as an organization for actions which even its administrator considers attributable individual students. Therefore, this action should not fall under the purview of the Student Organization Resource Guide (and no violations of its policies took place) and rather ought to be seen as the protected speech of individual students.
Accordingly, the suggestion that any tweets attributed to Northeastern SJP as an organization "confirmed" our responsibility for the alleged rule violation is false and represents yet another charge we would have welcomed the opportunity to formally contest, in only we were given a hearing in which to do so.
The same can be said of evidence of our organizational involvement provided by the university police, though the problems with NUPD involvement go far beyond mere erroneous inferences from Twitter. On February 25, 2014 NUPD began a campaign of systematic interrogation of SJP members. By calling individual students on their private cell phones and showing up unannounced at student's homes the University intimidated and coerced students they believed to be involved in this "mock eviction notice action" into speaking with them. It is important for us to note that the first and only students interrogated in connection with this investigation are members of SJP with Muslim sounding names. Following these two interrogations, every other student contacted by police declined to answer questions about this event without legal counsel present. Despite being informed by SJP members of our wishes to speak with our legal counsel, the police continued harassing students in SJP.
SJP would also like to communicate our observation that the Handbook guidelines on flyer distribution in dormitories are flouted, if not flatly ignored, by other student groups, as well as individuals on a regular basis. We assert that our suspension is due to the content of the flyers—the mock evictions—and not the responsible individuals' conduct—the alleged violation of university guidelines on flyer distribution. If the University was interested in applying equally its flyer policy, instead of holding us to a double standard, the university would sanction its athletic team boosters, organizers of Music and Drama events, and fraternities, not mention the myriad local businesses who leave unauthorized menus and flyers at dorms all the time, but obviously are never by contacted in regard to doing so by the Northeastern Police—unless of course it's to place an order. It is no coincidence, we suggest, that the University singles-out speech consistent with SJP's views because important University benefactors consider such content objectionable like Robert Shillman and the Rudermans.
SJP again points out that we have not been formally charged with any policy violations in connection with this police investigation. Furthermore, our group's experience with this inappropriate Northeastern police investigation occurred in the days just before the deadline imposed by Robert Jose to revise our civility statement.
Even though as a group we had significant moral qualms with the revisions Mr. Jose required, not mentioning our strident objections over being compelled to draft a civility statement in the first place, the police investigation and individual member's fears of legal and academic consequences diverted our attention from addressing these revisions appropriately and within the time frame specified. As a statement that would present an official position of our organization, we needed adequate time to both present Mr. Jose's required revisions and discuss them as an organization. In the week following the deadline, we attempted to make contact with Mr. Jose to address these concerns, but he was unavailable.
Elsewhere in the suspension notice SJP is ludicrously and falsely accused of "Vandalism of university property by placing stickers on various structures in April 2012." In the 20 months since this was alleged to have occurred this is the first time that SJP has been accused of engaging in such behavior. Thus, we take this opportunity to state categorically both that SJP as an organization had nothing to do with this alleged vandalism, and the suggestion of otherwise reflects the deeply problematic habit the administration regularly demonstrates of blaming SJP as an organization for any and all unpopular pro-Palestine speech engaged in by members of the Northeastern community. SJP cannot be blamed for any and all mention of Palestine any more than the Catholic Student association can be held responsible for any mention of the Holy Trinity on campus. This baseless accusation reflects the higher level of scrutiny the university applies to SJP than it does to any other student group.
In the suspension notice, following the paragraph in which the absurd charges of vandalism are levied, SJP is charged with "Failure to comply with event planning and contract policies in preparation of an event with a guest speaker in April 2013. The organization did not follow procedure and did not formally schedule the event. Despite being instructed not to move forward with the event as a result, the organization did host the event at another campus location." It is here that the suspension notice goes from outrageous to Kafkaesque. To illustrate, allow us to quote from our sanction letter of May 3, 2013, the letter as cited above:
"Charge: Failure to comply with cancellation of event as requested
Finding: NOT RESPONSIBLE"
SJP can think of no reason why the University has chosen to bring up again a charge with which we were already found not responsible. However, if the university wishes to revisit its disgraceful cancellation of a lecture by Dr. Salman Abu Sitta, a septuagenarian university professor, who rarely visits Boston, SJP welcomes the opportunity. The preventing Abu Sitta from speaking at Northeastern is completely incompatible with the university's educational mission. The same can be said of Northeastern's banning SJP from holding events on campus. This sanction prevents Northeastern students from hearing Palestinian perspectives and thus denies them the opportunity to consider their viewpoints.
Plus, it is significant that this charge is the only one for which the university fails to provide the specific date. The event in question, which again, the University determined no policy violation took place occurred on April 9, 2013—one day following the event for which SJP is accused of disrupting in the suspension notice. In the hearing we were given following allegations of rule-breaking by SJP at the April 8th event, Steph Pierce, the administrator who conducted our hearing, stated that the cancellation of our April 9th event was a "direct result" of our actions the night before. SJP finds it suspicious that this fact is omitted from the suspension notice along with precise date; these omissions obfuscate the sequence of events in order to portray SJP in the worst possible light.
Finally, SJP points out that the suspension notice contains only charges either for which we have never been formally charged or that we have previously been found not responsible for or given sanction which have since expired. That we are being suspended for rule violations, for which we have never been given the proper opportunity to respond, represents a fatal flaw in the process that has led to our suspension. The banning of SJP represents a draconian repression of our speech rights and implicates the University's commitment to academic freedom.
Northeastern Responds
March 12, 2014--
Here is the statement that our supporters received today when they contacted the Northeastern administration:
I am responding to your recent communication about Students for Justice in Palestine at Northeastern University.
The suspension of SJP was handed down only after a careful and thorough review of the facts. Despite repeated efforts by university officials to work with the leadership of SJP, the organization has repeatedly shown a disregard for university policies over an extended period of time. Contrary to assertions from some parties, SJP leaders have not been banned permanently from participation, and the organization has had many opportunities to discuss its conduct with university officials. Further, reports that expulsion procedures have been initiated against students affiliated with SJP are false.
The issue here is not one of free speech or the exchange of disparate ideas. Instead, it is about holding every member of our community to the same standards, and addressing SJP'S non-compliance with longstanding policies to which all student organizations at Northeastern are required to adhere.
I hope this reply is helpful and sheds light on the relevant facts.

Jackson - CloserMature
Riley left me standing in the middle of the restaurant, my lips still burning with the intensity of her kiss. I knew it was no way an accident, no matter what Riley said to Julian. That kiss was heaven wrapped in between lips, and man did I want to kiss her again!
"Riley!" I called to her retreating back, "Come back here!"
By now the whole restaurant was staring at us, the children completely distracted from their game of musical chairs. Sebastian's voice sang lustily through the chorus of "Under The Sea", his voice accompanied by the sweeter sopranos of the mermaids.
"You got Ariel wrong!" said the voice of a little girl wearing the 'Birthday Girl' badge, her lips pouting, "That girl had blonde hair, and Ariel's a redhead! At least Eric is right."
With a jolt I realised that she was talking about us, me and Riley. She had thought that we were part of the act for the birthday party, that the kiss was staged to be right at that song. Me as Prince Eric? Kissing the blonde little mermaid? Why, the idea's quite enticing if I do say so.
"Hphmmmm," puffed Riley as she hurried beside me, "Damn it they left already. I shouldn't have kissed you."
"Really Riley?" I teased, "You know you wanted to."
"Want is different from what is appropriate," she told me, "For God's sake I practically ate your face right in front of my best friend and his twin!"
"Does it matter that much Ri?" I asked her, slipped my arm around her waist to draw her closer, "Come on little mermaid, give Prince Eric another kiss."
"What? Are you insane Jackson?" she half shrieked, "Not in front of all these kids. And we need to follow Julian and Tori before they go too far!"
"Fine, one little kiss and we follow them in my truck," I bargained.
She nodded her head curtly and put her arms around me. I could see the posse of girls staring googly-eyed at us, their breaths held tight in anticipation of another fairytale kiss. I slipped my arms around Riley's waist, dipped her head down as I saw people do in movies, and kissed the living life out of her. Her fingers twined around my neck, curling into my hair as she kissed me back. Finally I had to let go, standing up straight with regret.
"Jackson, don't you dare stop now that you've got me started," Riley began.
"Gotta keep it PG in here Ri, we're in a kid's restaurant after all," I whispered in her ear as we walked past the kids, "Now, in my truck is a whole different story."
She giggled, something that was very unlike Riley to do, and clutched tighter onto my arm. She smiled and hugged a few little girls as we walked past, their eyes still looking up at her with the undying devotion that they had for the little mermaid. We walked arm in arm across the car park, not feeling the chilly night air at all despite having forgotten our coats in the restaurant. I jammed the key into the backseat door of my truck, and clambered in behind Riley. She kicked off her heels and pulled her blonde hair out of its bun, letting it flow like a river of gold down her shoulders. I pulled off my tie and chucked it into the boot, and for the next few hours or so we both forgot that anyone else existed. We forgot that really we should be looking for Julian and Tori.

All you GW profiteers should consider what's really going to happen . You know , with certainty ? You sweat the small stuff .( Damn , it's hot today . Damn CO2!!) But consider . The end is certain , and it's already known fact . One day in the distant future , The Sun will expand in a giant fireball as it runs out of fuel . The earth will be consumed along with all of it's natural and artificial satellites .( 3-4 billion yrs ) Think it's hot now ?? By that time the earth will have been unlivable for ANY life forms as we know them . Say, maybe 500 mil. to 1 billion yrs from now . Humans will NOT escape to another world . No planets in our own system are habitable and our best efforts won't help. Not to mention that it is absolute nuclear powered folly to believe that we will continue to exist that long without wiping our own selves out . No success will be achieved in the worthless quest of inter-system or intergallactic travel . Forget that . The point ? Easy . For all practical purposes the earth , nor it's human life forms , will have ever even existed .( Arrrggghhh !!!) " Why didn't we save the planet ?) HaHa !! No record will be kept in any archive anywhere in the universe . We simply never existed . And here you all are , wasting your one puny live , chasing a folly that in the end will never have even existed , your life served no purpose . So why don't you give it up , relax and concentrate on something really important , like fishing , cold beer , women , fast cars , staying warm in the winter and cool in the summer ,... And not whether the dirty human race is going to put too much CO2 in the air ? There is nothing to achieve .. What ? Short lived notoriety ? Nope . That will never have existed . Having it your way and making it tough on billions of other people ? Why ? It's not gonna get you into heaven , God won't like what you did .( I don't believe that religious dogma , I just put it out ther to please the ones who do ) Am I trying to rain on your parade ? NO!! Just pointing out the futility of human endeavor . After all , in the end we are mere failed species that never existed . Not even a legend for alien chatter . Same fate for all the aliens too !! HaHa !!
Now that you all have something new to think about ,( A certainty ), I believe I'll crack open a beer , smoke a joint , and go for a nice walk with my old lady around the lake . Why ? So at least MY life had meaning , even if all of yours didn't .

On Sept. 22,2012, tho air temperatures weren't as low as now, Arctic northern sea ices were readily increasing AND filling in the raggy taggy edges(& even internally trapped clear waters) of the Arctic ice pack. As the sea ices progressed southward, the ices met more & more unusually solar heated Arctic waters that had been solar heated for months & still were solar heating, because they normally have been universally iced in decades past.
As the raggy taggy sea ices tried to ice further south, they semi-circularly developed, showing that Arctic solar waters were progressively solar heated in the southerly direction!
It is very remarkable, even stunning, the edges of the raggy taggy Arctic sea ices conforming to the southerly directionally warmed Arctic waters! The Arctic sea ices act just like a progressive contour map of warming Arctic waters, showing a secondary effect of AGW predicted science & excess Earth-captured solar energy.

So now the deniers who spent the last five years telling us that the increase in Arctic sea ice post 2007 meant something (it didn't) are now going to spend the next five years telling us that the increase in Antarctic sea ice means something?
It doesn't.
In a warming Antarctic, it's an anomaly.
Maybe around the end of the decade when the Arctic sea is ice free and the Antarctic sea ice crashes like the Arctic sea ice did this year, they'll realise they aren't suckers- the ones who aren't liars that is.

The Antarctic is showing the same decrease in ice VOLUME as the Arctic, but it is WINTER in the Antarctic. A time of no sun and therefore no impact from ice cover (which is only up a minuscule amount, while the thickness has more than halved.
Something that was predicted to happen for a decade or so by the IPCC and AGW theory. The summer extent (which IS relevant) is approximately the same.

While 'krusty' & other toxic topix AGW deniers squawked 'how much sea ice there was', the reality was that early March 2012 Arctic sea ice VOLUME was just UNDER 20,000 cubic kilometers, whereas the AVERAGE 1980-1989 DECADE of Arctic sea ice VOLUME for early March 2012 was ~25,000 cubic kilometers.
Tho 20,000 cubic kilometers of sea ice sounds like a lot, the Arctic sea ice VOLUME reached a low ~3400-3500 cubic kilometers, this last mid-September.

The Arctic sea ice minimum extent this year was almost 300,000 square miles(twice the area of California) smaller than the previous minimum set in September 2007, which itself was an incredible drop.
litesong wrote:
A stunning performance(actually a non-performance) showing Arctic sea ice NOT piling on, in great amounts of sea ice on the Arctic Ocean, surrounding seas & against landforms.
Called a secondary feedback in AGW, solar energy absorption by historically unrecorded amounts of clear Arctic waters is putting on an incredible show in a non-performing role, well worthy of an Academy Award. With a stoic unchanging face, almost all Arctic waters refuse to ice. Except for the sea ices north of Greenland & Canadian islands, the Arctic ice pack shows a strong resemblance to a semi-circle, strengthening the assumption that Arctic Ocean waters & seas have very strongly absorbed solar energies the last 3 months, due to the rotating Earth variably tilted towards the sun.
Details below:
litesong wrote:
Arctic sea ice extent is a bit greater than the lowest minimum of any other year recorded, either by satellite or submarine data, at 4,377,800 km2 (October 6, 2012). Only the area represented by Pennsylvania in the past day has become sea ice, despite the sun, unseen, from North Pole for ~2 weeks, temperatures above the 80th parallel averaging minus 14 degC for the last three days, & temperatures on landforms surrounding the Arctic Ocean dropping as low as -12degC. Much warmth built up in Arctic waters these past months is resisting its conversion back to sea ice, especially southern Arctic waters which have seen much more solar energy absorbed than northern Arctic clear waters.
This same Arctic Ocean warmth is & will continue to keep Arctic sea ice thinner through the coming winter & even spring. As of October 2, Arctic sea ice VOLUME is ~23% lower than any satellite recorded year AND indications of submarine-detected Arctic sea ice yearly VOLUME.
Yes, the Arctic sea ice VOLUME is disappearing, year to year, quicker than the Arctic sea ice extent.
litesong continues:
Presently, Arctic sea ice extent is above the lowest of any previous year's minimum Arctic sea ice extent, at 4,477,031 km2 (October 7, 2012). With one week into October, temperatures above the 80th parallel averaging minus 14 degC, normal for the last three days & temperatures on landforms surrounding the Arctic Ocean dropping as low as -12degC, southern Arctic sea ice has increased by smaller than the size of Kentucky in the past day.
Much of that sea ice increase is along the Greenland east coast, altho Arctic ice pack is closer to the Russian islands, Franz Joseph Land & Svalbard, again in the circular pattern mentioned above. Almost all large region southerly Arctic waters, including the Northwest Passage, Northeast passage, waters north of Alaska & waters north of mentioned islands are ice free.
Arctic Ocean warmth is & will continue to keep Arctic sea ice thinner through the coming winter & even spring. As of October 2, Arctic sea ice VOLUME is ~23% lower than any satellite recorded year AND from indications of submarine-detected Arctic sea ice yearly VOLUME.
Downwellings in unusual clear Arctic waters, normally sea ice covered in decades past, have & even now still transport extra solar energy to continental shelf & Arctic Ocean & sea depths.

Annika: Chapter 1Mature
We filed slowly out of the locker rooms, all changed into our bathing suits. It was midwinter, but the state mandated that all students participate in exercise. This was because exercise is supposed to alleviate depression, or a form of it that greatly affected us Norwegians, called Seasonal Affective Disorder. Which basically means that you get sad in the wintertime. And we had a lot of winter.
Exercise never did much for me, though. It just pointed out that I would never swim or run or lift weights like the athletes in the class, and that didn't do my competitive streak any good.
I sighed as I glanced up at the ever-running school TVs. No new news on the recent Oslo massacres, besides the name of the shooter - Anders Behring Breivik. I looked down from the TV to see a skinny little redhead watching me. She glanced away quickly. Weird.
We trotted down to the indoor pool to swim laps. Lining up at the diving board, I was second in line behind the little redhead. It wasn't cold inside, but she appeared to be shivering. The instructor motioned for her to step onto the diving board, and the girl twisted to look behind her. As she caught my eye, I realised she wasn't shaking because she was cold. She was shaking because she was terrified.
Nobody who was that afraid of anything should be forced to confront it like this unless it was absolutely necessary. The redhead's fear was obviously irrational. To force her to face it alone, in front of everyone, was cruel.
But before I could say anything to the instructor, she hoisted herself onto the diving board in one smooth motion and sprinted the length of it. At first it looked like she would execute a surprisingly graceful straight dive, but then it went horribly wrong.
She hit the water, but instead of sinking in, she seemed to skip and bounce on the surface. As if that weren't strange enough, she screamed in pain and began to thrash about and kick on the surface of the water.
The class stared in shocked silence. Wherever she touched the water, a scale-like burn would form, then fall away, leaving a patch of raw flesh. She flip-flopped and rolled about on the surface as the burns started to bleed, her screams crescendoing.
Surreally, I noticed that her blood did not mix with the water. It stayed on top, like oil.
Dropping back into gear, I instantly knew what needed to be done. I sped down the springboard, gaining speed to hit as close as I could to where her thrashing had carried her. Sailing through the air to meet her, I suddenly felt calm. After a moment, I came up under her, lifting her partly out of the water.
She started to calm as I carefully propelled her back to safety, then rolled her out onto the the deck. The instructor ran over as I hauled myself over the edge of the pool.
The girl was in better hands than mine. I stood back and watched as the instructor and a nurse applied first aid to her burns then whisked her away to the nurse's office.
The class sat in numb silence. Just as the whispers and questions started to rise, the instructor slipped back in, closing the door quietly behind her.
"She will be fine. It looks like a chemical on her skin reacted with the chlorine in the water. It shouldn't happen again. The pool is probably safe, but this afternoon has been very stressful and I suggest that we all go home early today. Class is dismissed. I will send emails to your other teachers explaining why you won't be in class."
I turned away, still feeling numb. A few of my classmates clapped me on my back and commented on my quick swimming.
As I headed for the door, the instructor stopped me.
"Good work. Quick thinking saves many situations. Did you know the girl?"
I looked at her blankly. "No, I've never spoken to her."
"A shame. None of the emergency phone numbers in her file work. Thank you again for your effort in saving her. I'll make sure the principal hears about this. Not many would have done that for a stranger."
She smiled, then turned to attend to the other students, and I glanced back at the pool. Odd. The blood on the pool was gone, but the scabs remained, glittering like scales on the surface of the now-still water.
Had I imagined the blood? I didn't think so. Something was fishy about the whole situation, especially the teacher's explanation. It didn't explain everything... Why hadn't the redhead sunk into the water?

The District appointed an approximately 50-person committee with members with previous experience, an equal representation of all 24 buildings and all grade levels. This allowed for a representative but manageable group.
The committee met monthly from October 2016 to March 2017. This committee made a recommendation to the Superintendent and his decision was made Tuesday, March 14, 2017.
