Employment Law
Employment Law Questions? Ask an Employment Lawyer.
Hello and welcome. My name isXXXXX am a Licensed practicing attorney and my goal is to provide you with excellent service today.
You have a common issue,
an employer can force an employee to use PTO
and FMLA,
PTO is regulated by the employer so the employer can make any rule they wish
under the law an employer cannot harass or discriminate against
any employee who has chosen to take FMLA leave,
if the employer is denying you benefits,
or is discriminating against you due to your FMLA use,
that is a violation of the Federal law
If you take FMLA time off,
the employer has to provide you the same job and benefits,
as you had before you took leave,
It just feels like they are double dipping to use PTO time and those same hours get charged as FMLA use toward the allowed 480 hours per year.
It seems that they are, however since PTO is not regulated by the State,
the law allows an employer to dictate these terms, what is against the law, is if they do not do this to other employees, and are picking on you ,
I have not taken a "leave", it has just been appointments here and there and emergency visits to hospital.
You are on intermittent leave, that is fine
The issue arising is that all of my PTO time has been used and I am facing not having enough PTO to bring my hours up to 40 each week. That is where I am concerned that if I work only like 38 hours that they will force me to lower my FTE status, which effects benefit %. Can they do that?
the law only protects you from termination or discrimination
they can only do this if they follow the same policy to other employees,
And I assume it is not discrimination to take my PTO time and charge those very same hours against the allowable FMLA hours? Because people who are not on FMLA do not have this issue.
OK, well it just doesn't feel right because "if" I would not have applied for FMLA then I would not be expected to lower my FTE status.
If the reason they are doing this to you is your use of FMLA, that is against the law,
they cannot treat you different due to your use of FMLA,
I do think they treat everyone on FMLA the same, but I am the only one who is gone just a few hours each week, every other week, unless an emergency arises.
The issue is that they just made that "management decision" to use PTO the following month after I applied for FMLA, keeping in mind that my supervisor suggested that I apply for FMLA so I wouldn't be questioned when I had to run out on an emergency. Kinda backfired!
That is unfortunate, and they may have done this to punish you for taking FMLA,
however, it is only against the law,
if they did not do this to other employees,
who take leave,
Ok, so even though it feels wrong ~ they can get away with it because they are the employer and hold the cards. I just think it's unfair to take your PTO when people really need that time to recover from being under so much stress from caring for loved ones. They do treat everyone pretty much the same which is good, but just doesn
doesn't feel like they care about the employees.
That is true, however unless you can have the employer create a new PTO policy where this cannot happen, the employer is allowed to act this way
This is common practice for most employers,
so this is not unique
Thanks so much for helping me with this issue. It has been nagging at me for sometime and I now have clarification and I appreciate it. Maybe I will just lower my FTE status and let the dice roll, this would be the only way to stop my PTO from being exhausted. I will have to think about it a bit more.
That may the best option,
FMLA will protect you from a termination or demotion,
so if they try to do that, you could have a valid complaint
I have two jobs and work 4 10's here and 1 day at a Veterinary clinic. My boss there is appauled by the uncaring nature of this management rule, as am I. I can afford it financially but so many others here cannot and its truly unfair to them. I am at Supervisory Level here and have expressed my feelings about it to management but on deaf ears it seems.
Thank you and I will use your service again when I need legal advise. I know now that I will just let this go and not make a claim or issue of this at a legal level.
Good luck and if you have any further questions please do not hesitate to ask.
If satisfied please provide us with positive feedback, thank you
Have a great evening, summer is over here in Washington as today is our last day of nice sunshine, will go home and BBQ. Thanks again....... Bye
Thank you
Oh, Is there a way to print this conversation?
yes, once you provide feedback, it will be saved and you can print it,
Awesome! I will do that now ~ would have anyways since you have been great!
Thanks, XXXXX XXXXX good day
You as well...............

Information Scotland
The Journal of the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals in Scotland
Issue contents | Journal contents | About the online edition of the journal
Alastair Johnson is in campaigning mood.
Those of you who were at Peebles in May may recall a mention in my address
of the delays currently being experienced by our members awaiting news of their
Chartership applications. I had picked up at various 'Meet the President' events
that all was not well in Ridgmount Street and that five or six months had gone
by without Chartership applicants having had the courtesy of an acknowledgement
for their applications. I determined that that was not good enough on several
levels and embarked on a campaign. Bearing in mind that our professional body
has a lot of ground to cover if it is going to increase its membership – and
remembering that the current membership is as low as 35% of eligible colleagues
– you might imagine that reputation and image would come pretty high up the
administrative agenda of an effective and efficient organisation. More importantly
there are well over 100 candidates out there who are increasingly disillusioned
with a professional body who, to all intents and purposes, appears uncaring
and just plain indifferent to the difficulties being experienced by their members.
At Peebles, a consultation with Bob McKee found him, it has to be said, a little
mystified. He was unaware of any difficulty but did give a prompt undertaking
to investigate and to do everything possible to minimise the delays...
Imagine my surprise to be told by a member of my own staff in early July of a phone call that day from Ridgmount Street. She had submitted her application in December 2004, the phone call was her first communication or acknowledgement and it was to enquire as to whether the package received by them some seven months prior was complete. Somewhat taken aback my staff member enquired as to the likely timescale for a decision. "Well, mmm, difficult to say, could be September, more likely October – depends on Board meetings really," was the reply. By this point my enthusiasm to help colleagues was turning into deep embarrassment on behalf of my professional body and dark anger at those I perceived as being responsible.
An email was dispatched to Bob – it concluded "As Chief Executive there is a time when decisive action is required and, in my view, that time has now been reached!" It also strongly suggested that a personal letter of apology be dispatched to all of the affected candidates. Bob's reply is as mysterious as was his puzzlement when initially told of the problem. It's all been caused by the candidates rushing to meet a deadline, he tells me, and if it's not them to blame it's the work pressure on members who volunteer to assess the applications, he adds." The delay... is not caused by any inefficiencies in the office here," he concludes. Did I ever suggest such a thing?
And so to my third attempt:
Dear Bob,
Chartership delays
Some of our members will have conservatively lost upwards of £500 each in salary due to the delays which you acknowledge have happened because of a deadline imposed by CILIP. Taken as a group this represents at least £50,000+ lost by our members. You acknowledge that CILIP was unaware of the likely scale of response to the deadline and I can accept that the workload on volunteers became untenable. However, when the scale of the response became clear CILIP failed over a period of seven months to put in place any system to keep individual members informed of the delays. Given that the responsibility for this debacle lies fairly and squarely with CILIP perhaps I can be so bold as to suggest, once again, that you personally write to each affected member and express a measure of regret that those we seek to encourage have been treated in such a shabby and off-hand manner. A suitable gesture for an organisation worried about its image and reputation might be to offer a token one-year free subscription. At the same time I would also expect CILIP to support its members by writing to employers in the hope that this might mitigate the financial loss to individuals by making clear that responsibility for the delays lay in organisational failure rather than with individual candidates.
A R Johnston, President CILIPS
....and so to other things
I can pick out the word library at 50 paces and my ears pricked up when I heard one Desmond Clarke being interviewed on Radio Scotland. He told us how public libraries were in decline, that librarians had got it all wrong and that public librarians had mis-directed funds away from lending books to such unnecessary things as computers. Who was this guy and what 'new report' was being reported upon? It turns out to be yet another diatribe from the somewhat mysterious Libri Trust. From University to Village Hall starts "Perhaps only in this country would anyone think it worthwhile to debate what public libraries are for. They're for books, stupid." This report contains some real gems, "...many local authorities seem to have given up... on a well managed book-based library service"; "...many librarians no longer know how to provide an effective book-based service"; "The task this band of inward looking library experts has set itself is to identify a role for public libraries where books are secondary." You get the idea – public libraries = books. So who are Libri? A bunch of discontented library suppliers, booksellers or publishers? Doesn't seem so, Libri Trust appears to be amongst a group of charitable trusts spawned by one John Roger Warren Evans and a bunch of kindred spirits pushing for social and political change, check out Changemakers. The purpose of Libri is interesting and I acknowledge the source of this information as John Evans and Libri.
"Libri is registered as a charitable trust for the provision of public library
services. The project is planned to operate UK wide, to supplement LA library
services... The key to progress will be the identification of local situations
where a community library might be developed, in parallel with a local authority
system. Libri is also developing ideas for the provision of library management
services, where outsourcing is an option." At a conspiracy theory level, one
interpretation of all this could be that Libri's underlying aim is to control
the means of providing information to the public. Worth watching!

" After more than 4,000 years — almost since the dawn of recorded time, when Utnapishtim told Gilgamesh that the secret to immortality lay in a coral found on the ocean floor — man finally discovered eternal life in 1988. He found it, in fact, on the ocean floor. The discovery was made unwittingly by Christian Sommer, a German marine-biology student in his early 20s. He was spending the summer in Rapallo, a small city on the Italian Riviera, where exactly one century earlier Friedrich Nietzsche conceived "Thus Spoke Zarathustra": "Everything goes, everything comes back; eternally rolls the wheel of being. Everything dies, everything blossoms again. . . .""
Even more importantly, can anyone understand the meaning of words, and use them accurately?

Fatima uttered a cry of horror, her strength left her, and she thought she would die from fear.
It was an act worthy of himself, although suggested by Fatima.

Size-14 model Christie Brider may be the new face of modelling, despite what most women's fashion magazines would have you believe.
The 20-year-old brunette from Sandringham in Melbourne has signed with Sydney modelling agency Big Gals, which represents models the industry refers to as "plus-size".
At 180 centimetres tall and about 75 kilograms, her figure is in demand at a leading teenagers' magazine that has decided to feature larger models and a broader range of body types. Dolly editor Virginia Knight said the magazine's decision to run bigger models in every 2003 issue had been a phenomenal success, contributing to a 13.2 per cent increase in readership.
"Our readers think it's fantastic . . . and advertisers are absolutely loving the changes we've made, primarily because sales have increased," she said.
La Trobe University associate professor of psychology Eleanor Wertheim said the change was a significant step forward.
"If we're seeing a broader range of what's beautiful in magazines, we may see less pressure on girls to aspire to unhealthy weights," she said.
The appearance of larger models in magazines was breaking a 50-year trend for the media to present increasingly smaller bodies as the ideal.
A Melbourne University study found that almost 50 per cent of early teens girls felt immediate feelings of depression or dissatisfaction with their bodies after viewing images of slim models, Dr Wertheim said. Fashion magazines rated as a high source of pressure for girls to be thin. The use of bigger, more realistic body shapes could mean fewer eating disorders.
Model Brider has had a largely positive experience of what can be a particularly fickle industry. But a few agencies had said "go to the gym if you want to go overseas, lose a few kilos".
Brider counts curvy Australian Megan Gale as her chief role model. Gale moved to Italy four years ago after the Australian modelling industry dismissed her as too curvaceous. It's a different story in Italy, where Gale can charge upwards of $64,000 an appearance.
"I got to meet her once and we talked about being bigger models. She said 'just stay in there and keep trying, then go overseas'."
But the Australian industry is slowly coming around to the Italian way of seeing things."The thing is they aren't actually big, they're just normal, normal girls," Brider says.
Darrianne Donnelly, head of Big Gals Models, signed Brider on the spot last September on her smile and confidence. "She was a really great example of a healthy Australian girl," she says.
Donnelly said that since starting her agency nine years ago, she had seen a big shift in magazines' attitudes towards using bigger girls.
While women's magazines such as Cosmopolitan had been a strong client for a long time, the younger teen magazines were only just starting to explore the use of bigger girls.
For Cyndi Tebbel, author and former editor of New Woman magazine, the use of bigger figures in magazines has been a long time coming.
Tebbel, who wrote The Body Snatchers: How the media shapes women, experienced the issue first hand when she lost an advertiser after running a size-16 supermodel on the cover of New Woman in 1997. "People at the time told me I had to be patient . . . here we are almost a decade later starting to see the change," she said.
Danielle de Gail, the deputy editor of Dolly's competitor, Girlfriend magazine, said her publication had not decided to use larger models in its main fashion spreads, but "real life stories and real girls are becoming increasingly popular," she said.

I've been into arts and crafts for as long as I can remember. Latch hook kits, friendship bracelets, drawings all over notebooks, that was my thing. Exhibit A:
This is a drawing I made in elementary school on one of my manila folders that is now framed and hanging in my craft room. "Tara's Monument with Art". Not "of art" but "with art". So maybe I didn't have the greatest grammar skills, but I was a young artist.
My sister, Melanie, on the other hand, did not get the handmade gene. Sure she can color and do basic crafts, but she doesn't have the passion for it like I do. Right now, she's working on her skills to be a great mom to my little nephew Blake, who just celebrated his first birthday.
Since Melanie isn't into the whole handmade card thing, I was very excited when I was surfing around the Tiny Prints site and discovered they had personalized kid stationery to write notes on! If you don't know, Tiny Prints is a sister site to Wedding Paper Divas, the site I used for bridal shower invitations, my save the dates and my wedding invitations. Readers of my blog have definitely heard me rave about the awesome printing and customer service of WPD before, so it didn't take much to hop on board the Tiny Prints train too! Check out their collection of birth announcements, party invitations and stationery for babies and kids.
I thought this Fun Skies design, personalized with Blake's name would be a great solution for my sister if she needed to write a quite thank you or note on behalf of Blake.
Disclosure: Tiny Prints provided me with the stationery set seen above. However, the opinions expressed in this post about the product and company are all mine. I do not sway my readers to sites, companies or products which I do not stand behind. Read my discloser page here.

Florida Atlantic Lands Bell
Michael Bell began his college career at North Carolina State. He's going to finish it at Florida Atlantic. The 6-9 Bell led Palm Beach in scoring, rebounding and blocked shots this season.
With two years left he wanted to maybe go to a little bit of a smaller place," Palm Beach coach Steve Bernath said. "He averaged 20 and 12 this year. He's got tremendous versatility. He can shoot from the perimeter and he can score inside. He rebounds well. He's just got to get stronger over the summer."
Indiana, UAB, St. Joseph's, Utah and Virginia Commonwealth each coveted Bell. "I think Coach Green wants to really take advantage of his versatility and I think they're going to want him to put up good scoring numbers."
This past season, Bell was an all-conference selection and runner-up to Louisville-bound swingman Nate Daniels for the conference player of the year.

Wright State junior guard Ivory James has been selected as the Horizon League Women's Basketball Newcomer of the Week for the week ending January 27, it was announced Monday morning by the league office.
James (Camden, NJ/Woodrow Wilson) provided a spark off the bench in WSU's lone game last week as the Raiders defeated UIC 59-51 on January 24 at home. With the game tied at 16 with 4:48 remaining in the first half, James scored Wright State's final 13 points of the period as the Raiders took a 29-24 lead into the break.
Overall, James led WSU with 19 points as she was four of eight from the field, including two three-pointers, and was nine of 10 at the foul line.
Despite coming off the bench in all five league games so far, James is second on the team in scoring in those contests, averaging 13.4 points per game while shooting 50 percent from the field and 44 percent from three-point range. Overall, James is third on the squad with a 10.2 scoring average while shooting 42 percent from the field and 40 percent from three.
Wright State (9-9, 3-2 Horizon) will host three games this week, starting with Green Bay Monday night at 7:00. The Raiders then take on Valparaiso on Thursday, January 31, at 7:00 and Youngstown State on Sunday, February 3, at 3:00.

David, John, Cory and others,
Thanks for your quick and courteous responses. Great news so far!

entrust WEP to keep something like that safe from prying eyes. You could
probably accomplish this best with a pair of PC's running M0n0wall and 2
cisco or (insert other company name here) external wireless bridges from
ebay. If the total distance is 30 yards and line of site is good the cute
little rubber ducky antenna that comes with it will be fine.
I just checked ebay, 2 Cisco Aironet 2 mbps Wireless Bridge's, are bidding
for $50. Is this what you're suggesting? Two mpbs seems a little slow, but
all the staff will be using the connectivity for is email. The vendor is
pricing Orinoco cards.I would drop a ethernet cable, but I have to span a
city street and city ordinance won't allow this, but it is line of sight and
no more than 50 yards, but more like 30-40.

Could the Rays be cursed in Cleveland? The Indians come-from-behind 11-10 win marked the 14th consecutive time Tampa Bay has dropped a game at The Prog/Jacobs Field.
The midges were unleashed last night (Albeit not as bad as Joba Chamberlain got it). The Seagulls were in attack mode (The guy next to me throwing them food didn't help). The Rays choked up a 10-0 lead.
It sounds like a curse to me.
Or maybe just pitchers who can't throw strikes. The teams combined to walk 19 batters in the game. Indians starter Fausto Carmona walked five in his 1.1 innings. Throwing 61 pitches and allowing five earned runs in the process.
Tampa Bay starter David Price walked five and struck out six in 3.1 innings.
It was three consecutive walks in the bottom of the ninth that helped the Indians score seven runs in the inning to win the game.
Ken Rosenthal reports that DeRosa won't be joining the Milwaukee Brewers, one of the teams thought to have interest in him.
The Brewers are not pursuing the Indians' Mark DeRosa, according to a major-league source. The Indians want major-league pitching for DeRosa, and the Brewers have little to spare, the source says.
The baseball blog UmpBump turned to DeRosa's wife Heidi for this week's edition of hot baseball wives.
Click the link to see the former fashion model, just don't let Mark know you were checking out his wife. (It's office safe. I wouldn't post it otherwise.)
President Barack Obama's choice of Sonia Sotomayer for the vacant Supreme Court seat could thrill baseball fans.
(You like how I followed objectifying DeRosa's wife with a woman of power? Got to cover all the bases, people.)
The appeals court judge helped end the 1994 baseball strike by ruling against the owners and siding with the players.
She ended a long baseball strike that year, briskly ruling against the owners in favor of the players.
The owners were trying to subvert the labor system, she said, and the strike had "placed the entire concept of collective bargaining on trial."
After play resumed, The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote that by saving the season, Judge Sotomayor joined forever the ranks of Joe Dimaggio, Willie Mays, Jackie Robinson and Ted Williams. The Chicago Sun-Times said she "delivered a wicked fastball" to baseball owners and emerged as one of the most inspiring figures in the history of the sport.

Last week, on Interfaith Voices, I interviewed a young man who calls himself the Son of Hamas. His father is one of the founders of Hamas, and he was being groomed for leadership. But he was arrested and tortured by the Israelis, and finally came to betray Hamas and work for Israeli intelligence. He also converted from Islam to Christianity.
What struck me in the interview, however, was his literalist understanding of the Muslim holy book, the Qur'an. To him, it is a terrorist book, and both Allah and Mohammed are terrorists. When I pointed out to him that all scriptures are open to interpretation, and that none of the Muslims I had interviewed before would agree with him, he insisted simply, "I am right and they are wrong."
For him, there was only ONE possible interpretation of his scripture and his faith. So, in his mind, he had to reject it. Several listeners wrote to us to point out that there are Christians with a similar "literalist" mentality. Certainly, many evangelical Christians read the Judeo-Christian bible that way.
But what about Catholics, I wondered? We are certainly not biblical literalists. But it occurred to me that some Catholics treat papal pronouncements like other Christians treat scripture. Certainly some members of the hierarchy speak that way. They are right and everyone else is wrong. No give, no dialogue, no nuances. We might well ponder that tendency; I doubt that it is healthy for any faith tradition.

In case this ends up in official court records I just want to be clear, I am doing everything possible to prevent my youngest daughter from ever being incarcerated. I love her to pieces, do my best every single day to teach her to make thoughtful choices, and I give her lots of very powerful little lectures about her future. But, if you've ever met my youngest child you also understand why it's good that I've already dealt with the possibility that she might not follow all of her momma's excellent advice.
Here's the thing, my one source of comfort in the midst of some awful storms: Despite the strong and prolonged efforts by ex and his family to convince my daughters that I am basically "a stranger", that I'm basically nothing important or real in their lives---despite all this and despite their predictably torn responses to it, I still know one thing. Regardless of how all this immediate stuff gets sorted out, deep deep down in my heart I KNOW beyond a shadow of a doubt that the first time my baby is in jail, it is *ME* she's gonna call first. "Mom---I can't call uncle," she'll say through her choking sobs. And I'll respond, "I know baby, I know. I'm on my way."

What if any is the difference between T5 and T5HO lamps and fixtures? Looking to upgrade lights, but on a budget. Any imput would be helpful.
The month of December is a busy month for all of us. I for one have something going on every weekend. So no hard feelings for all those that missed out on a great club meeting. We went over the cabinet project I plan to start in the spring. We figured out a design that works. I had to go without the built in desk but overall it will be really really nice! Roughly a 15' Wide x 10' Tall built in cabinet to hold my 8' 300 gallon tank. The tank will be totally plumbed into my fish room that is behind
Well I had a great time myself, It's always nice to get together with our reef buddies. Today we went over the new RedSea coral pro system which I really like . One thing that stands out the most here is each componet has test kit for propper dosing ( rule 1 never dose what you can't test ) We got a chance to do some testing of sample water from diffent members tanks using these kits compaired to Hanna checkers. Marie also want to thank evryone for helping unload her new 240gal preditor tank ( kind
Meeting went well-we discussed Prodibio products/mainly bio digest & biotim. It's a low nutrient system its helped me clean up some stale areas in my rock work. Water is very clear/noticed a big difference thus far with glass build up, algae has for the most part vanished in just a few weeks (has done what GFO hasn't been able to do) Phosphate & Nitrates are near undetectable. The club helped me with ideas on set up of 225 in wall project & completion of "Fish room" We had some good food & great
Sitting here at the meeting with 8 other members. Talking copepods today with a raffle coming up soon. Getting some great ideas for my tank and will be replacing the sump with a new one built by Guerry which is zeo ready. When I get the new skimmer we will proceed with the install. Also talking about the new website...kudos to joey for the construction of the new site. Meeting hosts will be asked to blog the minutes of the meeting....so I guess that is me.

The information came to light after Yeovil MP David Laws tabled parliamentary questions to Home Office minister Gerry Sutcliffe.
Six rapists were also among those who have absconded from Leyhill since 1999.
The figures follow a BBC investigation which showed more than 300 inmates absconded in the past three years.
Mr Sutcliffe said: "As soon as a prisoner is found to have absconded from an open prison the local police are informed immediately.
"The prisoner's security category is reviewed when the prisoner is recaptured and returned to an appropriate closed prison."
Risk assessed
The Prison Service, in a statement to the BBC, said the numbers of people absconding was down to "less trustworthy" inmates being transferred to Leyhill.
"Pressures on places meant that the whole prison estate had to be used at 95% capacity.
"Prisoners were rigorously risk assessed, particularly in regard to the risk they presented to the public.
"But inevitably some short term prisoners who proved less trustworthy were placed in open conditions."
Northavon MP Steve Webb said the public should be concerned if proper checks are not carried out.
"People going to open prisons should be properly vetted for the risk of walking out and their risk of re-offending," he said.
"If the prison system is so full that too many people are going to Leyhill then the public has a right to be concerned."
The Home Office figures also show that 41 inmates convicted of robbery absconded, 19 convicted of various drugs offences and 103 serving time for burglary.

The purpose of this FOA is to solicit applications for UH2/UH3 cooperative agreements for Demonstration Projects for efficient, large-scale pragmatic clinical trials focused on management of patients with multiple chronic conditions. Trials must be conducted across two or more health care systems (HCS) and must be conducted as part of the NIH HCS Research Collaboratory supported through the NIH Common Fund (seehttps://commonfund.nih.gov/hcscollaboratory [1]). Awards made through this FOA will initially support a one-year milestone-driven planning phase (UH2), with possible rapid transition to the implementation phase (UH3) for a pragmatic trial Demonstration Project. UH3s will be awarded after administrative review of eligible UH2s that have met the scientific milestone and feasibility requirements necessary for the UH3 implementation phase, depending on the availability of funds. The UH2/UH3 application must be submitted as a single application, and applicants should note specific instructions for each phase in this FOA.
The overall goal of the NIH HCS Research Collaboratory program is to strengthen the national capacity to implement cost-effective, large-scale research studies that engage health care delivery organizations as research partners. The NIH HCS Research Collaboratory Program has established a Collaboratory Coordinating Center (CCC) that is providing national leadership and technical expertise in all aspects of research with HCS. After awards are made by NIH, the CCC (https://www.nihcollaboratory.org/Pages/default.aspx [2]) will work with successful awardees from this FOA to facilitate the planning and rapid execution of high impact Demonstration Projects that conduct research studies in partnerships with health care delivery systems, ultimately making available data, tools and resources from Collaboratory research projects to develop a broadened base of research partnerships with HCS. This FOA extends the current Collaboratory program to address the critical need for pragmatic research on the management of multiple chronic conditions.

An Action Research Approach to Integrating Academic Integrity
The problem of student plagiarism has been much discussed in English speaking universities in recent years, and while this indicates that academic misconduct is taken seriously it also situates the students as needing to change their behaviour. Understandably, staff who have the misfortune to deal with student plagiarism might wish for behaviour change so that the number of allegations of plagiarism is reduced. This paper frames plagiarism as a problem which needs to be taken seriously, but rather than focusing on the deficiencies in student practice, it focuses on university wide change and how this could take place. An Australian university provides the context for this change. The paper describes an action research project designed to give senior staff the opportunity to recognise and implement educational programs which would promote academic integrity and lead to plagiarism being dealt with in an integrated approach. Underpinning this embrace of academic integrity is the need to connect policy and practice to achieve consistent outcomes across the university.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - A suicide attack on Russia's busiest airport shows Islamist rebel leader Doku Umarov is serious about inflicting "blood and tears" on the Russian heartland ahead of the 2012 presidential election.
Umarov, a 46-year-old rebel leader who styles himself as the Emir of the Caucasus, claimed responsibility for the Jan. 24 attack that killed 36 and said he had dozens of suicide bombers ready to unleash on Russian cities.
Russia is struggling to contain a growing Islamist insurgency along its southern flank nearly 12 years after Prime Minister Vladimir Putin rose to popularity by leading Russia into a second war against Chechen separatists.
"Terrorist attacks will most certainly continue in Moscow. I don't think they are designed to be before elections, but of course they will not make Putin look good," North Caucasus expert Alexei Malashenko, from Moscow's Carnegie Centre, said.
The Domodedovo airport bombing, which authorities say was carried out by a 20-year-old from the Muslim Ingushetia region, came 10 months after twin suicide bombs on the Moscow metro that killed 40 in the first attack on the capital in six years.
"Even if Umarov is killed tomorrow he will be replaced by someone even more organised. The North Caucasus is full of Islamist organisations now," Malashenko said.
Putin has hinted he will return to the Kremlin in 2012 or leave his protege, President Dmitry Medvedev, in place for a new six-year term -- either way keeping his hands on Russia's reins of power for years to come.
Umarov suggested that the North Caucasus insurgency will haunt Russia's leaders for just as long, claiming that he has a steady supply of suicide bombers ready for attacks against Russia.
In his 16-minute video, posted on several Islamist websites, Umarov vowed more attacks "on the territory of Russia. They will be carried out, God willing, there is no doubt about it".
Chechen-born Umarov wants to create a separate state with Sharia Islamic law across the patchwork of Muslim republics along Russia's south that he considers to be "occupied" territory.
"There will be hundreds of brothers who will be ready to sacrifice themselves for the establishment of the word of God," Umarov, clad in camouflage and sporting a long black beard, said. On Friday he said that five or six dozen men were presently ready for "martyrdom".
"It is believable that he has a fair quantity of people lined up as there are a lot of damaged people available to be exploited in this way," said Oliver Bullough, an author on the region and Caucasus editor at the Institute of War and Peace Reporting in London.
Local leaders say a potent mix of clan feuds, poverty, Islamism and heavy-handed tactics by law enforcement agencies has driven youths into the hands of rebels who want to create a pan-Caucasus state independent from Russia.
Medvedev has cited an increase in Islamist attacks and told security officials after the airport attack that terrorism is Russia's biggest threat.
The Kremlin chief also has called Islamist ideology a "cancer" which needs to be tackled head-on.
"We need to fight this not only with force, but in ideological terms. Otherwise, our forces will destroy one terrorist and the ideological conveyer belt will produce 20 terrorists," Semyon Bagdasarov, from the pro-Kremlin Fair Russia party, said on Tuesday in televised comments.
But despite billions of dollars poured into the region by the Kremlin, the insurgency has attracted more young men and the violence does not abate.
In an independent Russian poll released by the Levada Centre on Tuesday, 63 percent of those surveyed across 130 Russian towns believed the situation in the North Caucasus was "tense", unchanged from the same poll a year ago.
Adding to the violence is the actual nature of the insurgency, which experts say has changed in recent years, mutating from a grassroots separatist movement towards jihad, whose propaganda and patronage point abroad.
Regional Muslim leaders and rebels revile each other as blasphemous and criminal. But after years of the Soviet Union suppressing religion, both welcome an Islamic revival.
"What is scary about the situation now is there is no strategy, just rage," Bullough said.

EMANUEL PLEITEZ is a progressive Los Angeles native committed to uniting, serving, and inspiring his community.
His strength and inspiration come from being raised by a single mother in the Eastside neighborhood of El Sereno—at an early age he helped his family through financial hardships and learned that the strength of a community comes from the people within it. Emanuel has always taken initiative to promote social change, and with strong moral values and limited opportunities, he founded non-profit organizations such as Latinos on the Fast Track (LOFT) Institute, and the Latino Legacy Weekend, aimed at providing opportunities and mentorship for innovative young leaders.
Emanuel's story is familiar to many Angelenos. Son of Mexican and Salvadoran immigrant parents, born in South Central Los Angeles, and raised in an underserved and underrepresented neighborhood, Emanuel soon learned that it took hard work and academic diligence to get ahead. He earned 19 varsity letters at Woodrow Wilson High School and eventually became the first member of his family to graduate college—Stanford University—on scholarships.
Between 2003 and 2005 he twice worked for current Mayor Villaraigosa, first as a field aide in El Sereno and later as his personal assistant. He went on to learn about business at Goldman Sachs until the Obama-Biden Presidential Transition team selected him to serve as a member of the US Treasury Review team. Shortly thereafter, Emanuel ran for California's 32nd Congressional District Special Election in 2009, with a strong grassroots campaign that engaged and energized Eastside Los Angeles voters.
This caught the eye once again of the Obama Administration, who appointed him as a special assistant to Paul Volcker and the President's Economic Recovery Advisory Board (PERAB) in 2009. Here he worked on workforce development, infrastructure financing, and tax reform programs. Emanuel was later employed by McKinsey & Company as a management consultant for a variety of industries, and most currently served as Chief Strategy Officer at Spokeo, a growing Los Angeles-based technology company.
Emanuel continues to recognize hardships in every day life, and unwaveringly commits himself to public service within and beyond Los Angeles communities. He takes an active role by serving as Board of Directors Chair for both the Hispanic Heritage Foundation and the Salvadoran American Leadership and Education Fund (SALEF), both of which identifies, promotes and prepares leaders in the Latino community. As a citizen leader for No Labels, a movement of Democrats, Republicans, and independents, he is dedicated to solving municipal problems rather than political gamesmanship.
Emanuel is the founder and executive producer of INSPIRA, an ongoing web series featuring the stories of inspiration from Latinos across the country. He and his wife, Rebecca, reside in El Sereno.
Meet the rest of Emanuel's team here.

'Supernatural' EP Previews Meeting Henry Winchester
But for a long time, they — and the audience by extension — believed it was solely because of their mother, Mary, who came from a long line of hunters and was later killed by a demon, setting their father on a path of revenge.
What "As Time Goes By" is out to show us all, though, is that their destiny cuts so much deeper than that.
On "As Time Goes By," Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) are shocked to see a man show up in their hotel room — a man who claims to be their grandfather, Henry Winchester (Gil McKinney). He time-traveled using a blood sigil that was supposed to take him to his son, John. But since John is dead, it dropped him at the feet of his next of kin. Literally.
"We spent time with the other side of the family, and we wanted to bring it full circle," Supernatural executive producer Bob Singer said during a special screening and Q&A in Los Angeles, Calif.
"If you remember the Cupid episode ["My Bloody Valentine"], where we said, 'This was ordained' that [John and Mary] should get together, now we know why.' It was supposed to be something different…but they became hunters by necessity."
"As Time Goes By" explores just how connected Henry Winchester — and therefore his son John — was to the world of the supernatural, because Henry needs help stopping a demon who is a "Knight of Hell." But if you're expecting one big, happy family reunion, you've been watching the wrong show.
"John was a product of the fact that he didn't have a father growing up. And as the first of many a bad luck for him, he always sort of held a grudge against his father because he thought his father deserted him," Singer said.
"Dean is always in defense of his dad, and John made the ultimate sacrifice for Dean, so I think he takes this stuff a little more personally than Sam at times, and that's something you'll see in this…episode."
It doesn't help that Henry isn't the warmest guy toward Dean and Sam, either. There is contention between Dean and his grandfather because Henry doesn't really approve of the way his grandsons were ultimately raised—as hunters, rather than what he considers to be their "legacy" (but about which they really had no way of knowing).
"He's a guy who's more elegant and learned and educated," Singer said of the contrast between Henry and the boys.
Blood is blood, though, and in true Winchester form, the brothers may not like having to help this guy they don't know, let alone trust, but they will do it for the greater good. And in spending time with their dear ole granddad, they will learn a lot about their paternal blood line that sets up a "whole new chapter" for them in the back half of this season.
We don't want to say too much about that new chapter until "As Time Goes By" has aired, to avoid spoiling the major reveals. But let's just say his time with Henry Winchester gives Sam a deeper understanding of his purpose in life. He may have been reluctantly dragged back into this "family business" when Dean got out of Purgatory, but now he's in it to stay. And his drive is newly rejuvenated.
"When we get into the whole 'closing the gates of hell,' that becomes a real raison d'etre for Sam. I think it's really revenge motivated; it's about everything that killed their mom, killed their friends, and all that. I think Sam would see that there's a certain amount of closure if they could actually close the gates off. I think he in the back of his mind thinks there's a normal life out there. And in a way, Dean's on board with that; he'd like to see him happy, but they have this one thing to do," Singer said.
Supernatural airs on Wednesday nights at 9 PM on The CW.
Why are you most excited to finally dive into the Winchester side of the family tree? Let us know in the comments below.

Robert Pattinson Bites Tyra Banks, Banks Changes Her Name (Video)
Banks has a lot of news to share. By shortening her name to "just Tyra," she may be helping reporters to fit it all within the character limits – or it could just be a well-planned publicity stunt.
Either way, it's "Tyra" and a change that comes at the same time she has revealed her activities as a Harvard Business School student– and right after she unveiled plans for her new website, TypeF.com
While on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," Tyra announced the name change while promoting her new makeover website.
Banks Tyra recently revealed that she has been attending Harvard since last year.
Tyra, 37, told CBS News that she wanted to be more involved with her business, which includes her multi-million dollar fashion and TV empire.
As The New York Daily News reports, Bank also wants to be the best for her female fans – which is why she went to the best.
For $31,000 in annual tuition, The Harvard Owner/President Management program allows busy entrepreneurs to spend three weeks on campus every year for three years.
"It's pretty exclusive," Banks said. "It's quite expensive. But, I feel like it is worth it. I feel like it is so, so worth it," she added.
She must be learning something. Tyra, the envy of all "Twilight" fans, was once able to get Robert Pattinson to bite her on the neck in front of a live studio audience.

Katie Holmes' Sundance Bomb
Every year the Sundance Film Festival brings a new batch of amazing films to the public- unfortunately Katie Holmes' new flick isn't one of them.
According to a report, the "Dawson's Creek" darling's film "The Son of No One" has been branded the first "bomb" of the festival.
An attendee told press, "When Katie showed up on screen, there was a collective groan. She plays the wife of a Queens' cop [Tatum] and she was completely miscast. They have her cursing a lot. And when she swore, there were chuckles."
"She was wrong for it. Al Pacino's acting in the movie was intentionally over the top, and he did it with a wink. Most of the cast seemed in on the joke -- except for Katie. She was acting like she was in a dramatic Sundance indie, when it's really just a typical cop movie."

Local Government Secretary Ruth Kelly has asked for more information about how the sites were assessed at a two-year public inquiry.
She has said that, in particular, there were "deficiencies" in the evidence on the brownfield Sheepcote Valley site.
Ms Kelly is reviewing the planning application after permission granted last year by John Prescott was quashed.
Feasibility studies
The club, along with other bodies which gave evidence at the public inquiry, has been given until 15 February to make representations.
Sheepcote Valley was one of nine other sites for which feasibility studies were conducted, but the club always believed Falmer was the best.
Brighton and Hove City Council backed the plan, as did the city's MPs.
But some Falmer residents objected strongly to having a stadium built in their village.
The parish council, along with Lewes District Council and the South Downs Society, has fought a long campaign against the Falmer site, because of its proximity to the South Downs and an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
In a letter to the council, Ms Kelly said she also wants more information on whether the government's regeneration objectives are being met.
And she wants to look at how the stadium would impact on the proposed South Downs National Park.
Ms Kelly will then consider whether to re-open the public inquiry or grant planning permission for the Falmer development.

The Mint Julep: Bringing the Derby Home
Timeless traditions, violent sports, and genteel drinking: for many an older Southerner, that's the second-holiest trinity a man's heart can hold. But I went to school in the New South, a school with a lot of sports and a lot of drinking. And for all the traditions available, I did more funneling of beer at football tailgates than I did channeling of Shelby Foote at garden parties. Because in the New South, it's easier to funnel like a fratboy at the "Freakness" (I did) than make it to Churchill Downs for the true gentleman's horserace (I did not).
Anyway, there I was last Saturday, having wandered into the liquor store to stock up for my housewarming party, having decided to use the Kentucky Derby as an excuse for a pre-party cocktail, when the bottle of Woodford Reserve stared back at me like Foote himself. There was the answer: make it a mint julep, for authenticity's sake. And so I crossed the street for a quarter-pound of sugar at the deli, and crossed back again to the supermarket for three big bunches of fresh mint. Back home my roommate (a former fratboy himself) and I crushed the ice and looked at each other, and we felt... older. And so we mashed half the mint with the sugar, doused the leftover sprigs in some leftover rum, and crossed back again to stir the bourbon with the ice and the minty syrup. We turned on the TV and realized the race wasn't for another week, and we felt... older still. This called for a drink. And so we sat and we drank, and soon we felt... not old, but mature. Like grown men.
This is the year Pimlico banned the beer bong in the infield. Not that the Derby would ever dabble ever in that kind of "tradition," but take it as an omen. This Saturday, leave the six-pack in the fridge, mix up a punch bowl, gather your friends, and bring the Derby home. True gentlemanliness will only be a furlong or two away.

Back in Congress, What Will Paul Ryan Do Next?
Nov 16, 2012 4:45 AM EST
Fresh from the ruins of Team Romney, the House Budget Committee chairman faces a tough decisionstrike a deal to avoid the fiscal cliff, or dig in on his signature issue: taxes.
After initially marginalizing Rep. Paul Ryan as a policy wonk and not the leader of the party, House Speaker John Boehner named Ryan to the GOP team negotiating with the White House on a deal to avoid falling over the fiscal cliff. As chairman of the House Budget Committee, Ryan was a major player before the election and he returns to Congress with his stature enhanced, receiving a standing round of applause on Wednesday morning from his colleagues in the House Republican caucus.
What Ryan will do with his newfound clout is uncertain. Will he uphold his conservative principles, or will he bend in order to reach a compromise that would avert the fiscal cliff? I think he faces a real choice, says Rep. Chris Van Hollen, ranking Democrat on the Budget Committee. Does he want to address the fiscal cliff we face in a bipartisan way, or does he want to rally the flag for the Tea Party wing of the party?
Ryan can either be a major ally or an obstacle in crafting a grand bargain. He could lead the anti-tax, small-government faithful against a budget settlement, or he could help sell a deal that violates everything he said on the campaign trail. If he helps reach a compromise, he loses the one issue that he might prefer to keep alive, says Tom Mann, co-author of Its Even Worse Than It Looks, an indictment of the current Congress. No easy path for him, Mann concludes.
Reading the tea leaves as to which path he will take, Ryan backed conservative favorite Tom Price of Georgia for Republican Conference chairman over the more moderate Kathy McMorris Rodgers of Oregon. Rodgers, backed by Boehner, won. The early skirmish illustrates the ideological divide between the speaker and Ryan, and suggests bigger problems ahead. Ryan has plenty of street cred with conservatives. If hes prepared to spend some of that in the service of GOP unity, it could pay dividends in expanding his appeal as a national figure. Either way, he will be a major barometer for his party in the months ahead as it attempts to climb out of the electoral hole it dug in this election.

Unfortunatly, you will need to remove those lines and remove the radiator and condensor to get the engine out. I have done a couple of these and they are not the funnest, thats for sure. Make sure you try and cap off the lines or bag off the lines so no dirt gets into the A/C system.

Centura Health has more experts in more places throughout the region. Start your health journey by finding the right one for you.
Penrose-St. Francis Hospital has a large Hematology and Oncology service which is complemented by a very active Hematopathology Department. During Hematopathology rotations, the resident reviews all critical peripheral blood smears and enters appropriate comments in the laboratory information system or, if necessary, speaks directly with a clinician. The residents perform all in-house bone marrow biopsies under the supervision of a staff pathologist. Most residents will finish their hematology rotations with well over 150 bone marrow biopsies performed. The resident reviews the cases and orders any necessary additional studies (eg. flow cytometry, cytogenetics and FISH). In 2012, there were 482 in-house bone marrow biopsies performed.
The Hematopathology service works in coordination with Immunology, Cytogenetics, and Molecular Pathology with integration of data from the various associated disciplines being emphasized. In addition to the core Hematopathology rotations (5 months), residents have rotations in Coagulation (1 month), Flow Cytometry and Immunology (1 month), and Cytogenetics and Molecular Pathology (1 month).
Three months of Blood Banking and Transfusion Medicine are required for completion of residency. The Penrose Blood Bank offers complete service, including a donor center for routine, autologous, therapeutic and apheresis donors. Under staff supervision, the blood bank resident acts as Medical Director for these donor services.
While on the blood banking service, the resident reviews the charts of patients with transfusion reactions, determines the nature of the transfusion reaction, and issues a report for the patient record. Residents also participate in benchwork, such as performing antibody work-ups, in order to gain a better understanding of standard procedures. Residents are also responsible for antibody reports.
The on-call resident will offer advice regarding transfusion reactions or other blood banking issues. Frequent questions include which blood components should be given in certain circumstances and how much of a component a patient needs. Residents also spend one week in HLA testing at ClinImmune Laboratories in Aurora, Colorado.
Each resident spends five months in the Chemistry rotation. The resident interprets electrophoresis gels and answers clinical questions regarding laboratory testing. The resident may participate in benchwork to gain a greater understanding of procedures and instrumentation.
Two weeks of the five months are spent in toxicology at the El Paso County Coroner's Office. If additional toxicology experience is desired, the resident may request more experience as elective time. In toxicology, the resident learns basic instrumentation and interprets mass spectrophotometer graphs, gas chromatographs, and liquid chromatography. During this rotation, the resident evaluates unknown specimens.
Penrose Hospital hosts a full-service Microbiology Laboratory that includes Bacteriology, Virology, Mycology, Parasitology, and Immunofluorescence Sections. Residents study Microbiology for at least four months. During this rotation, the resident answers clinical questions concerning Microbiology, participates in benchwork and is given unknown cases to work up. This affords the resident the opportunity to learn culture algorithms and organism identification.
Penrose Hospital, affiliated hospitals and outreach clients provide the Pathology Program with a diverse, well-balanced caseload. Surgical Pathology volume continues to increase with approximately 20,000 specimens examined in 2012. While on Surgical Pathology, the resident is responsible for frozen sections and grossing surgical specimens. Surgical Pathology is structured on a 2-day system where the specimens are "grossed-in", and then signed out the following day. During a sign-out session, residents work directly with a staff member at a double-headed microscope. The staff member and resident review the slides, render a diagnosis, and dictate a report. As their skills increase, residents are given graduated responsibility with the goal of relying on staff only for case review and finalization.
A Surgical Pathology Unknown Conference takes place each week. The staff and residents assigned to Surgical Pathology set aside the week's most challenging and interesting cases. These cases provide the basis for the conference. At the conference, the residents present a differential diagnosis for each case, and the staff and residents review the diagnoses in a collegial atmosphere.
The Cytology resident is responsible for examining all Cytology cases reviewed by the staff pathologist. The resident formulates a diagnosis and reviews the cases directly with a staff member. The resident participates in all fine needle aspirations performed by the Pathology Department. In 2012, 8,000 specimens, which included over 4,000 GYN cases, 3,000 non-GYN cases, and 1,000 FNAs.
A weekly didactic Cytology Conference and monthly Cytology Unknown Conference is held at a multi-headed microscope in which the cytotechnologist reviews unknown cytology cases with the residents.
Resident autopsies are assigned based on a rotating list with residents responsible for all autopsies performed in the hospital. There are no weekend autopsy duties. Most autopsies are adult cases; however, a small number of pediatric cases are performed at Penrose Hospital. Additional pediatric pathology experience is available during a one month rotation at The Children's Hospital in Denver, Colorado.
Residents have never had to share autopsy cases in order to meet the required number of 50 cases in order to sit for the boards. Our numbers are fulfilled through a combination of full adult hospital autopsies, fetal demises, pediatric autopsies at The Children's Hospital during the pediatric pathology rotation, and coroner case autopsies during the Forensics rotation. Most residents finish their training at Penrose with approximately 60-70 autopsies.
At least one month of Forensic Pathology is available at the El Paso County Coroner's Office in Colorado Springs. The resident may arrange additional training at other facilities including the Office of Medical Investigations in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In addition to the general Forensic Pathology experience, the resident has the opportunity to investigate death scenes and attend court trials. Most residents perform 20-30 full autopsies during this one month rotation.
A one-month Pediatric Pathology rotation takes place at The Denver Children's Hospital. During the rotation, the resident participates in both surgical and autopsy pathology related to the pediatric population. The resident works directly with the pediatric pathologists on staff. Travel expense reimbursement is available at the end of the rotation.

The company, which has been at the centre of protest from its hedge fund shareholders, is seeking offers for the assets as it decides whether to offload some of the buildings.
Blackstone Group is among three firms that have been named as bidders on the portfolio, according to a report published yesterday. However Mr Harrison refused to confirm whether the private equity firm had thrown its hat in the ring".
In February, Blackstone snapped up Centro's 588 shopping centres for US$9.4 billion ($9 billion) in one of the largest global property deals since the onset of the credit crisis.
Valuations have risen steadily in the US, prompting hedge funds to fish for opportunities in the listed property sector where stocks are trading at a discount to their net tangible assets.
New York hedge funds Orange Capital and Luxor Capital acquired stakes in the Charter Hall Office REIT earlier this year and have locked horns with the trust's parent over plans to sell down 50 per cent of the portfolio into a separately managed vehicle owned under a joint venture agreement. The hedge funds argue the properties would fetch a significant premium to the book value if sold on the open market.
Mr Harrison acknowledged Orange and Luxor "would prefer to see 100 per cent of the US properties sold" but he stressed the board's decsion would "come down to pricing".

CIA to probe Petraeus' conduct
Classified material kept by the woman who had an affair with former CIA Director David Petraeus predates their liaison and does not come from the spy agency, sources briefed on the investigation said on Thursday.
The finding appears to bolster assertions by Petraeus and his biographer, Paula Broadwell, that their affair did not put national security secrets at risk — a central question hovering over the scandal that brought down one of America's most respected public figures.
The CIA said it had opened an "exploratory" investigation into Petraeus' conduct, building on the FBI's probe. Law enforcement officials have said they believe the FBI investigation is likely to end without criminal charges.
The scandal has cast a spotlight on the private lives of some of the nation's top national security officials.
The commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, Marine Gen. John Allen, faces a Pentagon inspector general's review of what sources describe as "flirtatious" emails with a Tampa socialite.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta ordered the military's top brass to look for any gaps in ethics amid concerns officers' lapses in judgment could erode public confidence in the military. Traveling in Bangkok, Panetta said he knew of no other military officials who have been drawn into the investigation.
Petraeus and Broadwell have separately told investigators they did not share security secrets, and Petraeus has repeated that assertion to associates and a television reporter.
In his first public comments on the matter, Attorney General Eric Holder said the FBI did not discover any possible threats during the course of the investigation that were urgent enough to notify President Obama or lawmakers until shortly before Petraeus stepped down.
FBI agents have found a substantial amount of classified information on Broadwell's personal computer since they searched her Charlotte home with her consent on Monday.
Sources briefed on the investigation said the documents date from before August 2011, when Petraeus took up his post at the CIA and the two started their affair. None of the material comes from the CIA.
As an Army reserve officer involved in military intelligence, Broadwell had a security clearance that allowed her to handle sensitive documents. However, she would still have to comply with strict rules that lay out how sensitive materials must be protected.
Broadwell's security clearance has been suspended. She could have it revoked and face harsher penalties if it is found she mishandled classified data.
Petraeus' remarks notwithstanding, investigators said they had not ruled out the possibility that he passed on classified material to Broadwell. They spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing law enforcement investigation.

Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/HowTo:Build a Better Mousetrap (2)
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
edit HowTo:Build a Better Mousetrap
hyperbole gave me an excellent review (here). in it he suggested moving the article to Mousetrap, and portraying the mice as normal rather than evil. i think these are excellent suggestions, and i would like some further input before implementing them. 20:05, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
It's been said that the early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese. Well written article. --Marvin1226 21:20, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
|I liked the humor quite a bit. About every other line there was a joke that kept me eager to read more. Let's take an in-depth look, shall we?
Intro -- 9.5 -- I like the first quote, but the second one is a little unnecessary. The intro itself is very funny. It grabs my attention and holds it there. I can't find anything else to improve on, so let's move on.
The Enemy -- 7.5 -- I like the concept of this section, but it seems to me that it needs more content. I feel that you could do more with mousii being enemies. Are the mousii lone operators, or is there a complicated network of mouse cheese-stealing experts below your house? Are they instinctually evil, or are they taught to de-cheese the silly humans in school?
Mousetraps in History -- 9 -- This section feels a little short, but what is there is good writing liberally smeared over this section. I can't think of anything to improve on except add a couple more sentences.
Recent failings -- 8.5 -- Again, this section has very good writing, but I would like to see more alternatives to mousetraps like fumigation and why it is futile. The peanut butter trap set-up was a little hard to follow, but other than that this section is done.
Building Your Mousetrap -- 8 -- This section was good. There are things that can be improved upon. For example, you say "think like a mouse," but give no examples of mousethought! The second paragraph was a little unnecessary IMO, all you say is to attack from above. However, apart from those two criticisms, this section is very good.
If all else fails -- 8 -- Good ending, wraps it up nicely. The end.
|This needed to be done. Thank you, sir. I must agree with Hyperbole, it should be moved to Mousetrap. I must also disagree with Hyperbole, keep the mousii evil.
|Prose and formatting:
|Generally very smooth and easy to read, but sometimes when you were describing a complicated set-up like the peanut butter trap, you faltered. Your links were well-sprinkled and sometimes good for a laugh. Also, you misspelled "acutiy". (Building your mousetrap)
|Three images, all good, all relevant. Where did I hear that? Anyway, The first two are fine, but you should enlarge the third image so we can see all its complicated, convoluted glory.
|Avg'd. Also, I don't know if you meant to spell "seedless" wrong, but I would correct it anyway.
|Final Score:
|This article is headed to feature-glory... after you make a few minor touch-ups. You're welcome!

2007.204: Super real closed rings

A super real closed ring is a commutative ring equipped with the operation of all continuous functions $\mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$. Examples are rings of continuous functions and super real fields attached to $z$-prime ideals in the sense of Dales and Woodin. We prove that super real closed rings which are fields are an elementary class of real closed fields which carry all o-minimal expansions of the real field in a natural way. The main part of the paper develops the commutative algebra of super real closed rings, by showing that many constructions of lattice ordered rings can be performed inside super real closed rings; the most important are: residue rings, complete and classical quotients, convex hulls, valuations, Prüfer hulls and real closures over proconstructible subsets. We also give a counterexample to the conjecture that the first order theory of (pure) rings of continuous functions is the theory of real closed rings, which says in addition that a semi-local model is a product of fields.

(11/24/2008) NEW HAVEN- New Haven�s Citywide School Construction Program announced updates to its Comprehensive Facilities Plan today demonstrating the impact of the challenging economy on the City�s capital projects. Today�s announcement confirmed the closing of the Vincent Mauro Magnet School and the Dwight School as well as changes to the construction schedule for other pending projects.
Given the conditions of the State�s and City�s economy and after taking a closer look at the projects, their enrollments and their challenges, the City made the decision to remove the Vincent Mauro and Dwight Schools from the School Construction Program. The City found that rather than maintain enrollments in these schools, it would be a sound financial and instructional decision to merge the populations of these schools with those of neighboring new magnet schools. Dwight students began the school year at the newly renovated Troup School this Fall while students from Vincent Mauro will join their neighbors at Sheridan Magnet School when their new building opens in the fall of 2009.
�These are unfortunate signs of the times,� said Mayor John DeStefano, Jr. �In this challenging economic climate we are forced to make very difficult decisions and implement hard cost cutting measures. Our updated comprehensive plan puts us on the right track to renovate or build new schools on a schedule that works for our students and staff. However, the financial future of the State is still unstable. There�s no telling where we�ll be six months from now and there�s no way to know what additional cuts the State will have to make our how that will impact us and our programs. While we hope to continue our plans to improve additional school facilities, we�ll need to be flexible to what resources the State and the City can provide to support these plans.�
The Vincent Mauro school building will likely be considered for swing space to house students from another school under construction after Mauro students move into the newly renovated and expanded Sheridan school.
Due to the impact of the national economic crisis, some School Construction projects will be filed with the State for approval in 2009 rather than their previously scheduled 2008 dates. These projects include: New Haven Academy Magnet High School, High School in the Community Magnet High School, Helene Grant Head Start, Early Learning Center at the former Martin Luther King School and the Microsociety Pre-K-8 Magnet School.
Debt service for the City, for the most part tied to the $1.5 billion School Construction Program, was expected to reach its peak in 2009. Due to a freeze in municipal bond markets this year and the continuously increasing cost of borrowing funds, debt service will now reach its peak in 2013. With the expectation that the market will have improved and that there is increased availability of affordable municipal bonds in the next several years, the City�s debt will improve significantly. Over the next five years, future borrowing compares favorably as debt being retired is greater than new debt being acquired by the City.
The Citywide School Construction Program was launched by Mayor John DeStefano, Jr. in 1995 to rebuild every school in the City of New Haven, to enhance the academic achievements of its students and to minimize the expense to City taxpayers. The program was based on a comprehensive facilities plan that was prepared from April 1996 through May 1998. That plan was revised extensively in 2000 and updated in 2003, 2005 and 2007. This year�s updates represent a covering schools and debt service moving forward, considering the current economic climate. There will be another revision in 2009.
New Haven operates the largest school construction program in the State, and the largest per capita in the country. The program has evolved into a national model for its massive scope, innovative financing and high degree of community involvement. To date, 27 projects have been completed, six are under construction, three are in the design phase and one is in the planning phase.

| Contact Details | Research Fields and Staff | Divisional Statistics
Head of Division:Prof. Clarissa H. Pieper
Divisional Profile
The Division of Neonatal Medicine provides care to 38000 infants annually at Groote Schuur Hospital (GSH), Mowbray Maternity Hospital (MMH) and New Somerset Hospital (NSH) and 6 Midwife Obstetric Units in the Peninsula Maternal and Neonatal Service. All three hospitals have neonatal intensive care units and provide level 3 and level 2 care, while level I care is offered at the MOUs. GSH cares for infants born in the tertiary maternal unit, and Retreat MOU and supplies the quaternary services needed in the Peninsula. MMH and NSH care for most infants born to mothers needing level II care as well as most infants referred from the MOUs. The clinical follow-up is done at the MOUs and developmental assessment and follow up of infants is done in the treating hospital. In this way the PMNS continues to provide all three levels of neonatal care in an integrated fashion (a true seamless service). This is a very efficient, cost effective and extensively evaluated model of health care, which must not be fragmented but be protected at all costs. The Comprehensive Heath Care Plan (CSP) has underlined the severe shortage of staff in this service. The implementation of the CSP mains one of the great challenges to neonatology in the next few years.
The value of midwives and neonatal nurses as highly trained professionals must be respected and guarded. This is of great concern as the principles of the PMNS should be extended into a Perinatal service throughout the whole Province. Research has concentrated on the early recognition, management and follow-up of infants exposed to intra-partum hypoxia, infection risks and respiratory distress.
Great strides have been made in neonatal outreach and teaching areas with a successful program called LINC in Limpopo, outreach to Namibia and the George area.
