AAS Meeting Minutes
I. Attendance
II. Call to Order at 9:14 pm
III. Approval of the minutes: Minutes approved.
IV. Officer Reports:
- Ryan: College Council will review language on fraternities in Student Handbook. Members of the Council are very open to changing the language. 30 spots were gathered in the Alumni lot.
- Dave: Elan resigned. Senior class needs a new chair. Avi for Parliamentarian. Senators do not have to complete projects before the end of the semester, because the JC has ruled that it would be unfair.
- Ian: 2 clubs were allocated $200 because BC has ruled on it.
- New Senators are sworn in.
V. Announcements:
- Marco: $3 Burrito Wednesdays
- Dan: Committee to change Rania's bill meet with Dan after Senate meeting.
VI. Special Orders:
BC Recommendations
· Around $12000 have been given WAMH
· Motion is made to separate Spring Formal recommendation separate from rest of other BC recommendations.
· Motion passes.
· Ian: A lot of downsizing has been down to cut the costs of the formal, yet the quality of the formal will go up.
· This recommendation will go to referendum.
· Recommendation passes for Spring Formal.
· Motion to pass rest of BC recs.
· Motion to deny band Deer Hoof event to zero.
- Matt: A band that is so unknown is not worth the money they will be charging
- Rania: WAMH only attracts 50-100 students; over $3000 is not proportional to this amount of people
- Viet: ACPB has hosted previous concerts that attract as few as 50 people
- Avi: Concert of this price will probably be well attended
- Jake: Should trust the judgment of WAMH to bring good sound-quality bands
- Avi: Senate should fund the event if it thinks that the event would be worthwhile to the campus, not how many people will attend
- Noah: WAMH deserves a chance to host a concert of this scale
Motion Fails
BC recommendations pass.
· $415 for honorarium for Woodsy club.
· The workshop will meet in Red Room, and then workshop will go outside to look at nature will focus on wilderness skills and nature awareness.
· Motion to fund in full.
· Motion passes.
VII. New Business:
- Gabe: The student representatives of CPR want feedback on the TYPO program. Last year, Dean of Faculty paid for all of freshman TYPO, and AAS paid for the bulk of upperclassmen TYPO. The proposal that was drafted by the student representatives asks for Dean of Students to pay for 70%, and 30% paid by the Senate. The Dean of Students proposed to pay half and ask for the AAS to pay for the other half of TYPO for all students.
- Josh: Should write an editorial to the Student and make this a confrontation to the school; this is a program that makes Amherst College unique.
- Dan: The CPR should ask the Office of Public Affairs, because they love to give out money to promote the college.
- Marco: TYPO is more valuable to freshmen, if we can't afford TYPO anymore, at least the freshmen will still be benefited.
- Charge Committee on Admissions and Financial aid to write a letter to the CPR.
- The issue is whether or not Senate wants to fund the 50% of the total TYPO bill.
- Pros-academically useful and class oriented
- Mike's proposal: There has been a lot of argument in the BC over petty amounts of money, and that student activities should be fully funded. Proposal is to ask different administrative departments whether they can supplement the money allocated to the BC from the student activities fee.
- Motion for proposal to become a motion.
- Pros:
- Clubs have been denied money or de-funded as a result of lack of funds.
- Student clubs would only have to go to one-stop (BC) to ask for funding, instead of going to different interdepartmental funds
- Ian will address problem of making ACPB and SOCO to have line-item budgets, instead of granting them large chunks of money
- Main issue should be to streamline what options students have for funding (should find a clear way for students to go about asking for funding)
- Cons:
- Money is probably tight for other departments
- For now, one of the solutions is to be a little more liberal with club funding; last semester there was a surplus of over $10000.
- Senate should work with the administration.
Motion to table discussion on proposal.
Mike withdraws resolution.
Committee should be formed to discuss issue with Tony Marx.
Rob makes motion: Whereas, the Dean of the Faculty does not agree to fund more than 50% of Amherst College's TYPO and TYPO-X programs,
Whereas, the Dean of the Faculty has traditionally funded 100% of TYPO money,
Wehreas, TYPO-X is a valuable academic and social experience for upperclassmen and women, intimately tied to the classroom and the Amherst education,
Resolved, AAS shall not fund more than 50% of the TYPO-X program, nor will it fund any money for TYPO, and
Resolved, until such a time as DoF will provide 100% of TYPO funding + 50% of TYPO-X funding, AAS shall provide $3000 for an alternative program, entitled Make Your Prof a Home Cooked meal, which money shall be used by students to purchase grocieries for meals to be made at their professors' houses.
Resolved, the Dining Services shall be charged with developing a system whereby this money shall be distributed
Resolved, participants in the MYPAHM program shall be allocated no more than $9 per student.
- Could always cook in Newport
- College will co-opt this program
- Professor might not open up own home
- Wording with charging Dining Services; they are not the best idea
Motion to table.
- If this is tabled, then CPR will feel more pressured to follow a quick course of action to fund TYPO
- Will look really bad for the Dean of Faculty if students have to cook and buy their own food
- Letters from other committees will have more leverage than Rob's motion to pressure the CPR
- There hasn't been TYPO for upperclassmen this past semester, if motion is not tabled, students could immediately take out professors
Motion to end debate passes.
Motion to table Rob's motion.
Justin is nominated to be the Elections chair.
Matt and Emily met with President Marx; he wanted them to address 2 things: 1) how curriculum of Amherst can be extended outside the classroom, 2) core fundamental values about Amherst (e.g. financial aid). Now they need volunteers to host focus groups Ali K., Josh, Erika, Viet, Will, Richa, Ryan P., Techo, Mike S.
Editorial in Student: Music department refuses to fund a lot of music-related activitiesà someone should take this up.
VII. Adjournment (10:53 pm)

"(y/n). My name is (y/n)." You say as Sam picks you up bridal style.
"Okay (Y/n), let's get your leg fixed up." Later, you sit on the old couch in his motel room with the bandages over the new stitches Sam helped you with.
"So, you hunt alone?" Sam asks while he is cleaning the tools he stitched you up with in the kitchenette.
"Yeah, mostly. Sometimes I hunt with this guy Garth. He gives me advice on things 'cuz I'm still kinda new to hunting."
"You know Garth?! Small world. I usually hunt with my brother, Dean, but he had some things to take care of in the next state over. He should be here in the next day or two."
"Cool! Well, thank you for all the help, but I think that I should get back to my motel. I left all of my stuff there." You stood before he could object and fell to the floor. "Stupid leg" you mumbled as he rushes over to help you. He grabs your upper arm and helps you back onto the couch.
"(y/n) are you okay?" "Y-yeah" You look at his hand completely wrapped around your arm. 'Holy crap his hand is as big as my FACE!!' He quickly removes his hand, a slight blush creeping into his cheeks. He clears his throat before speaking. "I don't think you should put any weight onto that leg. You are going to have to stay here for a few days."
"What about my stuff?" You ask, not wanting to stay in the same (f/c) shirt and cut up jeans.
"Dean can get it before he comes here. What motel and room are you in?" You tell him and he calls Dean. You take this opportunity to get a better look at him. He was built well, and really did have fabulous hair. Then you look at his eyes and see that they were a mix of almost all the colors, changing when he looks at different things. He hangs up the phone and looks to find you staring. He holds the gaze as the blush find its way up both of your cheeks. You suddenly both look away, your (e/c) eyes shifting frantically from one thing to another, slightly embarrassed.
"S-so, umm, y-you said you were new to hunting? What got you in it, if you don't mind me asking?" Sam said, quick to break the awkward silence.
"Well, I made a deal with a demon about 10 and a half years ago. I was in foster care and the family I was with abused me. I was about 12 at the time."
"Oh" he nodded trying to understand, "wait, 10 and a HALF years ago? I thought that they only give people 10 years."
"They did. I died 7 months ago, went to hell, all that." You shudder at the memory. "I got myself out about 4 months ago. That's when Garth found me. He has helped me ever since." Sam seemed to be taking this news better than you had expected. You wonder why.

Summer league provides real-game feel for Gateway, Plum hoopers
The 2013-14 high school boys basketball season is still six months away, but that hasn't stopped the Gateway and Plum boys basketball programs from mixing it up on the hardwood this spring and summer.
The annual Pittsburgh Basketball Club's summer leagues provide area teams the chance to compete in an informal setting.
Two 20-minute halves with a running clock that only stops for called timeouts are featured, and scorebooks usually aren't kept.
It is a chance for coaches to try some new things with new combinations, as players have moved on because of graduation, returning players have advanced to new roles and new players are getting their feet wet in the system.
For Plum, the emphasis is not the outcome of a game — it suffered a loss to Greensburg Central Catholic in a summer-league contest last Thursday at Gateway High School — but how the players are developing and doing good things on the court.
"We've progressed all summer," Mustangs head coach Ron Richards said.
"We've been going at it for about six or seven weeks, and it's only just the start. We're young and inexperienced, but they are having fun."
Plum is focused on getting back to the WPIAL playoffs after missing the postseason in the 2012-13 season. The Mustangs finished tied with Franklin Regional for fifth place (6-8) in Section 2-AAAA.
Rising senior starters Austin Dedert and Nick Stotler will be back to lead a young team that lost five key seniors to graduation.
Also, rising junior Austen Carney started several games last year before missing the final few weeks of the season with an arm injury.
"This is really important because we have guys who have to step up into larger roles from last year," Dedert said.
"It's a whole different look from last year. June is an important month for us, because there is a lot of skill stuff put into the work, and it's great to see next year's team come together."
Individually, Dedert, a 6-foot-5 forward, knows that getting bigger and stronger for the battles in the paint under the basket will be important.
He also stressed the desire to become a more vocal leader for the younger kids.
"(The younger kids) base their work on how you work," Dedert said. "We have to be at our best."
Gateway finished the 2012-13 season 11-3 in Section 2-AAAA — second behind Pittsburgh Central Catholic — and made the WPIAL quarterfinals and PIAA playoffs.
It was eliminated from both playoff brackets by New Castle, the WPIAL champion and a PIAA semifinalist.
"The kids are working hard, putting in the time and getting better and better," Gators head coach Mitch Adams said.
Several key players, including three-year starting point guard and two-time WPIAL champion D.J. Boyce, moved on because of graduation, but talent returns.
Starters in rising seniors Delvon Randall, Shomari Thomas and Tommy Kromka return to lead the team, and all three of them are part of a 15- to 20-player contingent involved in workouts and summer games the past several weeks.
"This helps us get our chemistry together," Thomas said.
"There is a mix of returning and new players. That happens every year. These are important games to help bring everyone together."
Adams said a key through the late spring and into the summer has been the incorporation of several members of last season's freshman team that won 16 games.
"They are facing Quad-A competition (in summer league games)," Adams said.
"Some of these kids have started in the games, and they have stepped up. I look forward to the next three years with these kids."
Brenon Thrift, another rising senior, has verbally committed to play Division I football at Temple University, but this summer, he is mixing in football workouts with basketball workouts and games.
Adams likes the way he is physical all over the court, especially under the basket.
"Brenon is very strong, and he can do a lot of nice things," Adams said.
The Pittsburgh Basketball Club states on its website that the summer league playoffs will be from Monday through June 27.

Volume 8, Issue 5: Cave of Adullam
Yule B. Sawry
In Case of Emergancy, Break Glass
One of us received an interesting advertisement recently. The ad was on a 3 by 5 card, with the fascinating headline, "Murphy Qwick-Ship � Pulpit Robes." The copy goes on to read, "When you need a pulpit robe in a hurry, Murphy Qwick-Ship � is the answer . . ."
Reductio ad Whateverum
National Review posited an interesting consideration during these muddled times. With regard to the Supreme Court VMI decision, they said, "Same-sex public colleges are unconstitutional; same-sex marriage may soon be constitutional."
Funding Nice Things
The deadline for application has already passed, but Washington State University was in fact circulating a notice for a nifty grant opportunity. "GRANT OPPORTUNITY: Hate Crimes Prevention." They want us to know that the "purpose of this program is to support the development of innovative programs that demonstrate effective new methods of ensuring safe and drug-free schools and communities."
Demented or Just Deranged?
A small note for prophecy buffs everywhere. A recent newsletter by Texe Marrs was kind enough to identify the present location of the builder of the Beast. As it turns out, it is in Maryland at the National Security Agency headquarters at Fort Meade. "As you will discover in this mind-boggling, audiotaped investigative expose, these systems of control are so diabolically effective that only a mastermind could originally have conceived them. Can there really be any doubt about it? Is the Chief Executive Office of the NSA a human being . . . or is this monstrous agency headed behind the scenes by Lucifer himself?"
So What's Your Point?
The word on the street is that a five thousand dollar camera set up in a Colorado high school, in order to deter vandalism and theft, was, uh, and we are somewhat embarrassed to report this, stolen.
But What About Spiderman?
In the latest issue of New Man, a trendy catalog was included for our perusal. The catalog was entitled "Fish Tale," and a small flotilla of sanctified geegaws were offered for our purchase. With one product, the accompanying copy queried, "Who's Your Super Hero?" Not content to leave it there, the question is answered off to the right. "When you think about it, isn't it really Jesus?" The designer also served as the model and bares his chest in one picture to show us a Superman logo with the Chi Rho symbol of Christ inserted for the S of Superman.
But Wait, They Weren't Done . . .
On the back of this same page, we find a fetching little trio of tables called The Trinity Table. "Dynamic yet stable! Inspired by the simplicity and stability of the triangle form, these dynamic tables are an elegant expression of the Trinity."
Pope Turns Evangelical!
We've all heard of the Pope's recent claim that to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences that evolution is compatible with Christianity: "[I]t is indeed remarkable that this theory has progressively taken root in the minds of researchers following a series of discoveries made in different spheres of knowledge."

Liturgical Hints & Ideas
In our attempt to sing about the Law of the Lord, there is no finer source than Psalm 19. "The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul." Pull out all the versions of this psalm in your library. Explore ways to use it as a opening processional, or as a communion processional. Do you have a choral anthem based on the text? Would a well-ordered, by-the-book Baroque fugue help to convey the necessity of living (and composing) within limits?
During Ordinary Time in Year B we will highlight passages from the new General Instruction on the Roman Missal (GIRM) that pertain to music during the liturgy. The GIRM contains rubrics and instructions (some of them new) for the celebration of the Mass. The first section below is a direct quote from the English translation of the document. The second section is a commentary on the passage.
The Structure of the Mass, Its Elements and Its Parts: The Kyrie Eleison (GIRM #52)
After the Penitential Act, the Kyrie eleison (Lord, have mercy) is always begun, unless it has already been part of the Penitential Act.
Since it is a chant by which the faithful acclaim the Lord and implore his mercy, it is usually executed by everyone, that is to say, with the people and the choir or cantor taking part in it.
Each acclamation is usually pronounced twice, though it is not to be excluded that it be repeated several times, by reason of the character of the various languages, as well as of the artistry of the music or of other circumstances. When the Kyrie is sung as a part of the Penitential Act, a trope precedes each acclamation.
Commentary: The acclamations mentioned above are "Lord, have mercy," and "Christ, have mercy." It should be noted that the penitential litany, its three-part structure notwithstanding, is not a Trinitarian formula. All the tropes found in the Roman Missal are addressed to Jesus Christ and are meant as hope-filled acknowledgements of the mercy of our Lord and Savior. None should be addressed to God the Father, or to God the Holy Spirit, nor should they be a listing of sins (e.g. "for the times we have been untruthful, Lord have mercy."). The Penitential Act is not a "corporate confession"; rather it is an affirmation of a merciful God.

South African President Jacob Zuma has met Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi for truce talks as NATO said the strongman's "reign of terror" was nearing its end and top military officers deserted him.
Zuma left the capital after a visit lasting several hours during which he met Gaddafi, state news agency JANA said on Monday.
State television broadcast footage of Gaddafi welcoming Zuma at the entrance to a building, in the embattled Libyan leader's first reported public appearance in weeks.
JANA said during Zuma's talks, Tripoli denounced NATO "violations" of UN resolutions, attempts at "political assassination" and destruction of the country's infrastructure and the maritime blockade of Libya.
Zuma arrived at Gaddafi's Bab al-Aziziya compound, a regular target of NATO air strikes, at 1400 GMT (2400 AEST).
During the talks, the Tripoli regime also demanded a meeting of the UN Security Council to review "mechanisms for applying resolutions on Libya", JANA said.
Before his Tripoli talks, Zuma told South African television news the NATO campaign was thwarting African Union attempts to broker a peace deal.
"Even going there had to be delayed because of bombing," he said in apparent reference to an initial AU mission to Libya.
"We only went there long after the time that we had taken a decision, and even going there, you have to ask permission from the NATO to get to Libya."
In Rome, meanwhile, five generals, two colonels and a major announced they had defected from Gaddafi's forces - and also said the regime's army was now at 20-per cent capacity.
Abdel Rahman Shalgham, a former foreign minister who was Tripoli's UN representative before switching sides, told a press conference: "These officers are among 120 who left Gaddafi and Libya over the last few days."
"We hope more will join us and the Libyan people, and leave the side of this despot and criminal," he said.
Zuma arrived in Tripoli shortly after state media said NATO-led air strikes on the town of Zliten, west of the rebel-held city of Misrata, had killed 11 people.
The South African presidency said Zuma is seeking an immediate ceasefire, to boost humanitarian aid and bring about the reforms needed to eliminate the cause of the conflict which erupted amid anti-regime protests in mid-February.
But it rejected as "misleading" reports the talks would focus on an exit strategy for Gaddafi.
Libyan state television said Zuma would discuss implementing the African Union (AU) "roadmap" for peace, as it reported NATO-led raids on the Nafusa mountains in the far west and the town of Bani Walid, near Misrata.
State news agency JANA said warplanes had hit "civilian and military sites in the Wadi Kaam area of Zliten."
"There were 11 people martyred and a number of wounded," it said.
At a meeting of NATO's parliamentary assembly in Bulgaria, NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen insisted: "Gaddafi's reign of terror is coming to an end.
"He is increasingly isolated at home and abroad. Even those closest to him are departing, defecting or deserting. ... It is time for Gaddafi to go as well," Rasmussen said.
In Rome, Libyan General Salah Giuma Yahmed said the ongoing defections meant Gaddafi's forces could no longer prop up the regime.
"NATO forces are paralysing Gaddafi's troops; they are now running at about 20 per cent of their military capacity," he told reporters.
Ahead of Zuma's visit, his ruling African National Congress slammed the NATO raids.
The Libyan regime also got support from two French lawyers who planned to initiate legal proceedings against France's President Nicolas Sarkozy for crimes against humanity over the Libya campaign.
Libyan justice ministry official Ibrahim Boukhzam told reporters in Tripoli Jacques Verges and Roland Dumas had offered to represent families he said were victims of the NATO bombs.
The regime's response to the rebellion, however, was condemned in Geneva by UN rights chief Navi Pillay.
"The brutality and magnitude of measures taken by the governments in Libya and now Syria have been particularly shocking in their outright disregard for basic human rights," Pillay told the UN Human Rights Council.
Mustafa Abdul Jalil, who heads the rebels' provisional government, welcomed a Friday call by G8 world powers for Gaddafi to stand down, saying it was the position reflective of the "will of the international community as well as the demands and aspirations of the Libyan people".
The Libyan regime responded by saying only an AU initiative matters and the rebels reiterated they would accept no settlement that did not entail Gaddafi's departure.
On the humanitarian front, announcing 10 million euros ($A13.4 million) in aid for refugees, the European Commission said on Monday about 40,000 Chadian workers trying to flee Libya were stranded in "dire conditions" at the border with Chad.
Qatar, meanwhile, has opened a government-financed refugee camp in southern Tunisia to host 1600 Libyan refugees, a camp official said.

CRAIG Newton took the first of many steps in an epic journey across the country today.
The 21-year-old from Orford bid fairwell to Warrington as he set off on the adventure of a lifetime on a quest to walk around the country for charity joined for the first leg by his friend Lawrence Griffiths.
With nothing but his camping gear and the occassional friend joining up with him along the way Craig is hoping his mammoth effort will raise funds for Warrington Youth Club and Youth UK.
He said: "I want to do it because it would be a lifetime achievement, it's a great way of getting outside and experiencing so much of life.
"This is going to be the biggest adventure I have ever been on and it's been a year and a half in the planning.
"I'll be walking 40 to 50 miles a day and it's going to take about seven or eight months to complete the 11,023 mile route."
Craig, who is a volunteer at the YMCA, is also hoping to encourage others to get involved and hopes to link up with people on his travels.
Despite the daunting trip in potentially turbulent weather Craig has not been put off.
"I have worked in the outdoors and don't like being cooped up indoors," he added. "I'm looking forward to it."

Is it true of 'Ulster Scots' that it preserves Scots as it was spoken at
the time of emigration? Or has it simply evolved into a distinct dialect?
It is said that French-Canadian, for example, similarly preserves the
French language, well beyond the typical vocabulary additions from the
modern English language.

text: Let me begin by saying that any feedback, positive or negative, will be greatly appreciated. I live in upstate NY, and I'm looking to get into the business. There are a couple of commercial accounts that I feel I have at least a good opportunity to bid on. I have relatives that work for these companies, and I know many people that work at them also. These would be pretty much strictly mowing, maybe a little landscaping. Is it possible to go after these businesses before doing all the leg work of legalizing the business? IE: insurances, DBA, etc. I'm in an area that has 2 reputable companies doing the lawn care, landscaping, and snow plowing. I'm just trying to gauge how I can go about this before jumping head first in the business. Like I said, any response is a good response. Thanks.

Operating Procedure:
The TD, on Management Dep.'s input, provides, according to the Planning Dep. decision, to the drawing up of the Basic Design and of the Feasible Project using internal or external resources. For carrying out the pertaining work, the TD shall obtain all the necessary technical information, as drawings, 3D models, technical data and so on. In case of turning to external companies' work, the TD shall carry out an estimation of time and cost of the work entrusted outside, informing the Management for its decision.
The TD shall prepare and update an official file of all the work carried out, divided for work orders and for type of work (Calculations, Structure, Propulsion, Plants, Fittings, Furniture....) providing to the coding, revision sequence and kind of issuing (Preliminary, Feasible for building, for Consulting, Outdated).
The produced documents will be spread, if appropriate, for consulting during their preliminary drawing up, and only after the Management's approval will be considered valid for building.
PHASE 1.1 - Basic layout analysis
The design input is given by the Preliminary GA, the 3D superstructure surface model and by contractual technical SPECS supplied by the commercial sector (MYT). What the SPECS indicate prevails and is bounding, therefore the preliminary GA and the 3D model only show approximately the layout and the look we would like to obtain. The yacht final outline derives from the actual adopted hull shapes which, even if they respect the volumes and the living surfaces, must satisfy the contractual requirements of performance, as contractual speed, manoeuvrability, sea keeping behaviour, fire protection, intact and damaged stability, comfort. On the base of the that statement, the GA is subjected to the necessary changes to satisfy the requirements of performance, to define the more appropriate structure geometry and to house efficaciously the technical arrangements provided for by the SPECS.
The design development begins with a preliminary weight estimation in order to establish a preliminary volume and the main bodylines dimensions LWL, BWL and T (draught).
According to the technical specs of naval architecture, which analyses the dimensional relationships and the dynamic parameters belonging to the ship, the next step is the hull modelling choosing the right hull bodylines draught to the upper forms of upperworks where the stylistic requirements prevail.
Given a bodylines' geometry, first of all it is necessary to arrange the propulsion system in order to respect the minimum size of Engine Room on the base of machinery and other various systems. In this way one part of hull volume, exclusively dedicated to this aim, is bounded.
Furthermore, depending on the kind of propulsion adopted, the geometries of propulsion and steering hull appendages can be defined.
The following step concerns the statement of structural geometry defining the transversal frameworks space and the main longitudinal connections in order to optimize the utilization of the material employed for the building. Regarding the stability, the hull is divided into compartments, which are divided by watertight bulkheads; while on the base of the habitability and of the technical bounds, it is divided into decks.
It is necessary then to define the Capacity Plan distributing in the hull the liquid structural deposit to be embarked and the added non-structural tanks.
At the end of these preliminary steps, it is possible to proceed to a GA revision in order to adjust it to the actual dimension of the vessel and of her internal partition, keeping the necessary spaces for the technical arrangement as: air conditioning control panel, ventilation systems, structural staircase trunks, Engine Room ventilation structural trunks, steering gear rooms, emergency generator room, other possible for special systems.
If this outline is not considered satisfactory, it is necessary to proceed to a change of the main dimension and of the vessel surface model. This step can involve a different weight estimation and, subsequently, of bodylines shapes.
Note: This phase should involve the buyer's technical-commercial sector and be finished before the contract owner's signature.
PHASE 1.2 – Control Calculations
What obtained during phase 1.1 must be submitted to a series of control calculations regarding:
a) The bodylines and their appendages to assure the speed, sea keeping and manoeuvrability performances.
b) The power and range predictions based on mathematical regressions and/or scale model experiences.
c) The vessel's intact and damaged stability.
d) The hull scantlings according the adopted Classification Society. The direct calculation of particularly stressed structures both with traditional systems and FEM analysis.
PHASE 1.3 – Structural Drawings
If the layout, weight and hull performances obtained in the previous phases are considered satisfactory and in compliance with the design aim, the following step is the drawing up of the Structural Drawings consisting of:
Structural Plan Scantling Plan
Deck Plan
Midship Section and Watertight Bulkhead Model
Shell Expansion
Bow and Stern Structures
Frameworks sections collection
Reinforced areas
Schematic Diagram Single-wire functional diagrams
Machinery and plant materials lists
Propulsion System Main propulsion engines arrangements
Motion Transmission System
Engine Room Layout
Electrical System Single-wire delivery diagram
Electrical balance
Short-circuit Streams Calculation
Drawings and calculations prepared during this phase must be submitted to the Classification Society's preventive approval to be utilized in the following design development.
Phase 1 must be developed by the Company's Technical Department using its know how, procedures and instruments. The utilized human resources will be internal or external depending on the working load.
- General Arrangement (for working)
- Shaft line / ER arrangement
- Capacity Plan
- Weight Estimate
- Power and range prediction
- Trim and Stability (intact / damaged)
- Freeboard assignment
- Equipment Number
- Gross Tonnage
- Scantlings
- Structural Classification Plans
- System Schematics / Machinery and Material Lists
- Electrical one wire distribution
- Electrical load balance
- Short Circuit current calculation
PHASE 2.1 – Work model preparation
The items creating the structural drawing (DRW) are:
- Drawings and calculations deriving from the basic design
- Classification Society's and other contractual Societies' Regulations (MCA, Solas, Marpol, ecc)
- SERIM structural standard
The structural design is subdivided into three main lines which must be developed, if possible, simultaneously in order to feed in an optimized way the building and minimize the realization time.
These lines are:
a) STRUCTURE: Production of structures, plating, plating nesting and cut
b) PLANTS: Main machinery arrangement; 3D Piping
c) FITTINGS: Furniture and fitting plans
It is essential to achieve the aim the timeliness of the information collection necessary to develop each document.
In addition to the available information developed in the Basic Design, it is necessary to define as soon as possible the commercial supplies in order to find the technical documentation regarding them and which is absolutely necessary to go on with the work.
In order to allow the contemporaneous development on the three lines, the first step to do concerns the most precise definition of:
On the surface of the model, the outlines of frameworks, decks, hull and deck longitudinal structures, the plating edges will be reported in order to lean on them the single structures and analyse the passages position.
Making available this model it will be possible to proceed with the structure cut, the machinery and piping arrangement and to begin the furniture and fitting internal partition. Moreover, the further the work proceeds it is possible the control of the possible interferences amongst structures, systems and furniture allowing the maximum exploitation of spaces and the maximum structural simplicity.
The Company's sectors entrusted with the preparation of structure, systems and furniture have therefore to work on the same wavelength to check as their work involves others' work and vice versa. Then, everything must occur under only one control to assure that the design exactly conforms with the aim to be realized according to quality, weights, realization time and costs.
The structural plans are supplemented with 2D drawings concerning the areas arrangement, as especially:
- Arrangement of rudders, holes and steering gears machinery
- Stabilizers arrangement
- Bow Thruster and Stern Thruster arrangement
- Technical Rooms of ventilation and conditioning system arrangement
- Shaftline arrangement
- Propulsion foundations and beds
- Main machinery arrangement and beds
- Hawse and chain locker
- Machinery Deck arrangement and beds (cranes and others)
- Special systems arrangement (hatches, moving platforms, hangars...)

The purchase order can be addressed to an internal or to an external executor on the base of a commercial contract prepared by SERIM.
The entrusted executor prepares a preliminary drawing up of the drawing and submits it to a checking analysis by a committee consisting of:
- Head of TD.
- The Project Manager of the building
- The head of Production Department
- SERIM person in charge of the architectural design
- Specialized consultant on the subject discussed
In case the work had been entrusted with an external subcontractor:
- Subcontractor's Project Manager
- Draftsman of the drawing
If the drawing has any stylistic involvements depending on the final customer's choices, during the analysis even the owner's stylistic representative shall take part into the meeting, only for these aspects.
After the Committee's analysis, a Work Report shall be drawn up by the Head of TD, reporting the decisions and the descriptions of any possible changes together with the reasons. A.s. document shall be delivered to every members of the Committee.
The Head of TD takes care to let any possible changes carry out until the drawing up of the final DRW, valid for the building.
In case the work has been entrusted to an external company, the Production DRW shall be submitted to at least two revisions, then it shall be considered feasible. In case further changes are necessary because of the external subcontracting company's fault, the subcontractor will provide at its expenses to correct the DRW and will be submitted to possible penalties foreseen for late delivery. If the changes are requested by SERIM or by SERIM's customer, the subcontractor shall have an extra payment, agreed in advance with SERIM.
When TD has got the final drawing up of DRW, TD shall submit it to SERIM Management and subsequently it shall send it in 5/five copies to the Classification Society (CS) for the certification.
If CS after its examination requires changes or particular details, the TD shall let them carry out to a full satisfaction of CS.
For the drawing up of the changes, if the DRW was prepared by SERIM, the TD will provide directly informing the interested members of the Committee.
If the document is entrusted to an external company, the company will be obliged to carry out all the details required by CS without any further payment and will have to pay the penalties provided for late delivery. If the changes are caused by SERIM or by SERIM' buyers, the company will have the right to an extra payment agreed with SERIM in advance.
When the DRW receives the certification of CS, it will be stamped: "Valid for construction", with date and signature of Management and will be officially delivered to the Production and for information to:
Technical Archive of TD
Production Manager
Shipyard or subcontracting company
If necessary, in order to avoid delays of the building, only after the Management's decision, the DRW could be also sent to the Production with a stamp reading as follows "Temporary Approval, date and signature of Management" and it will have anyway contractual value for the carrying out. Any possible changes due to CS' requests will be subjected to an extra price agreed with the shipyard or Company in advance.
In case there are necessary changes or additions to a drawing already delivered to the Production and validated as feasible, the TD will provide to produce a revision, issuing a new version of the same drawing where it will describe in short the updating, the date, the signature of the person who authorized the change and a progressive alphanumeric book-face to distinguish the drawing from the previous one. The drawing subjected to the change will be placed on file with the stamp "SUPERATO by version ……/(A)" (outdated by version A)
The TD will provide to deliver officially the new version of the drawing to the production, receiving a written letter for information.
The DRW will be registered according to the standard Coding adopted by SERIM.
The following files will be composed :
- Electronic file in TD's Server
- Paper file in a reduced format for a quick consulting
- Official paper file of the drawings approved by CS and corresponding certifications
- File of Shipyard production containing copy of the approved and "valid for building" drawings.

CHICAGO (AP) - Ben Smith tuned into the advice of his Blackhawks teammates, the ones who won the Stanley Cup a year ago. Even when they lost the first three games of this year's opening-round series to the Vancouver Canucks, there was still a chance.
``It's never over until you lose that fourth game. The older guys harped on that,' Smith said Sunday night after his overtime goal gave the Blackhawks a 4-3 victory and sent the spirited series back to Rogers Arena for a deciding Game 7 on Tuesday.
``It wouldn't say it's amazing. It's something we all hoped for. Down 3-0 nobody panicked,' Smith said. ``Nobody quit.'
Vancouver had the best record in the NHL this season and had command of the series. And the Canucks came out fast and hard Sunday night in what turned into a remarkable game in the earsplitting United Center. Coach Alain Vigneault said it was Vancouver's best game of the series, despite the loss.
After lopsided Chicago wins in Games 4 and 5, Vigneault mixed it up. He went with backup Cory Schneider in goal after struggling Roberto Luongo had yielded 10 goals in 40 shots over the previous two games.
Turns out Luongo was back on the ice in the third period and overtime Sunday because Schneider was injured - he called it cramping - after he tried to stop a game-tying penalty shot by Michael Frolik.
``I was a little surprised, but Alain just wanted to shake it up and give a different look and let Lu get his game back into form and try to make the most of my opportunity and give my team a chance to win,' said Schneider, who finished with 17 saves and turned away a 5-on-3 Chicago power play for one minute, 43 seconds.
So who will play in Game 7?
``I have no idea. We really haven't really talked about it. Lu looked great in the third period and overtime in a tough spot,' Schneider said.
Luongo and Schneider said they found out Saturday about the switch.
``It's not something I'm used to, but obviously once I got into it, I thought the boys really tightened up defensively and didn't give up much for the rest of the third and game me a chance to get into the game,' said Luongo, who had 12 saves.
``I think were really happy with how we played in the second half of the game. We're going to take that and try to build on that for Game 7.'
Chicago is attempting to become the fourth team in NHL history to win a seven-game series after falling behind 3-0. Philadelphia did it last year against Boston in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
``Anything can happen in Vancouver,' said Smith, a rookie who made his NHL debut in October. ``I'm just trying to take a deep breath every once in a while. ... They've got some great players. It's nerve racking when they've got the puck. They really took it to us for a while.'
At 15:30 of overtime, Smith followed Niklas Hjalmarsson's shot from point that bounced off Luongo.
``I was just trying to fight for body position,' said Smith, who has three goals in the series.
``I got a piece of it with my (stick) knob and I'm not sure exactly what happened,' Luongo said. ``I think Smith just chipped it over me on the rebound.'
Daniel Sedin, Alexandre Burrows and Kevin Bieksa scored for the Canucks. Bryan Bickell and Dave Bolland added goals for the Blackhawks.
Chicago goalie Corey Crawford made 32 saves, including 12 in overtime when it looked as if the Canucks would win any second.
``They were throwing a lot on net,' said Crawford, another rookie. ``It was probably the biggest game of my career. A lot of fun to win.'
With the teams playing 4-on-4 to start the third period, the Canucks took the lead on Bieksa's rebound goal 58 seconds in.
About a minute and a half later, Frolik was awarded the penalty shot when Dan Hamhuis took him down on a breakaway. Frolik skated in, faked one way and went the other to beat Schneider, who was got twisted on the play.
``I didn't listen to the crowd,' Frolik said. ``I focused on myself, tried this move and hoped it worked.'
After Luongo replaced Schneider, the Canucks dominated play and had a chance to take the lead again, but Chris Higgins' attempt hit the post with just more than 5 minutes to go.
NOTES: Canucks defenseman Sami Salo played only four shifts. He had an undisclosed injury.

In case you haven't noticed, IBM's WebSphere group is building a one-stop middleware conglomerate, adding products and acquiring small companies at a furious pace. Today, the WebSphere brand doesn't just refer to IBM's J2EE application server but to a full-fledged middleware integration platform.
Last week, the WebSphere group announced its intention to acquire Web services appliance maker DataPower. At first glance, this acquisition simply adds another tick mark to the WebSphere feature set. There are some interesting twists, however.
To begin with, it's not every day that a software group purchases a hardware vendor. DataPower's appliances are basically application-level routers for Web services. In fact, DataPower's primary piece of intellectual property is a chip set for XML processing, and its products center on that chip set. Furthermore, DataPower's heritage is networking -- and that heritage shows in InfoWorld's review of three XML firewalls. DataPower's offering was clearly the most datacenter-ready of the bunch.
With IBM's entry, the idea of combining XML-based Web services with networking gains more credibility. Web services are unique in providing a standards-based view of application-level APIs, enabling messages between applications to be managed by intermediaries. If you believe Gartner, Web services will provide the basis for 80 percent of new software development projects by 2008. WSIs (Web services intermediaries) will be critical to most of those -- and hardware appliances are an important part of that mix due to their perceived simplicity of operation.
The key word is "perceived," because configuring multiple devices scattered around the network can be a real headache. So here's the synergy in this deal: IBM could add real value to DataPower's appliances by using WebSphere as the integration infrastructure for DataPower devices. On the flip side, DataPower's XML-savvy chips and software could migrate out of appliances and into other form factors such as blades, widely dispersing application-level routing across the network.
This emerging market hasn't been lost on Cisco and others. Last June, Cisco launched an AON (application-oriented networking) initiative. Intel is also in this game, having recently purchased Sarvega, another XML appliance vendor. IBM's decision to buy one of the leaders in this space signals its intention to compete head-to-head for this future business. (Interestingly, IBM's press release on the acquisition doesn't mention AON, perhaps in an effort to try to maintain its friendly relationship with Cisco.)
Not surprisingly, other vendors in the WSI space see IBM's acquisition as legitimizing the market in a big way. As Frank Martinez, chairman and CEO of WSI vendor Blue Titan remarked: "Application-level service networking just became incredibly valuable and interesting."

Good morning, everyone!
Just a quick post to let you know about a few new things here at Come Together Kids.
|"I'm all signed up, now what do I do?"
First, Come Together Kids is now on Twitter. The little guy above basically shows how I'm feeling about it right now ~ totally bug-eyed and confused ~ but I'm going to try to figure it out. I have a follow me button on my left sidebar, but I just ask for your patience. I'm trying to learn how it all works, but all those symbols have me a bit overwhelmed. If you're on Twitter, please follow me and if you notice I'm not doing something right, please send me a message so I'm not sticking # signs where they don't belong or something like that.
Next, I did a little bit of blog organizing over the weekend. You'll notice three new tabs at the top of the page ~ Kids Crafts/Activities, Tutorials, and Recipes. I wanted to make the blog a bit more user friendly, so I cataloged some of our favorite posts into categories ~ things for the kids to do, tutorials for the adult to do for/with the kids, and food related posts. I also kept the For the Locals tab for outings and trips here in the mid Atlantic area. I hope this makes it a bit easier to find new ways to come together with your kids.
Finally, I'll have a few new themed link parties coming soon ~ Parties, Halloween, and Fall Fun ~ so get your posts ready to link up. I'd also love to feature guest posters for any of those themes. If you would like to share your post (either new or not recently posted), please just let me know.

Dividend Change: Annual Dividend Suspended
In January, Finnish tech firm Nokia (NOK) announced that it would completely suspend its dividend for the first time since 1989, owing to a desire to save the 700 million euros, or roughly $1 billion, in cash for its attempted comeback.
That cutback comes alongside other measures of austerity, such as selling off assets, closing down research & development facilities, and cutting 20,000 jobs.
NOK shares are off more than 17% since that announcement, killing off an early-January rally and a whole lot more. And the company's performance in the most recent quarter didn't give investors much hope for a quick return to dividend payments.
Marc Bastow is an Assistant Editor at InvestorPlace.com. As of this writing, he did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

Summer 2005
she creates a new life again
The bungalow. The sand I trail in.
The prayers that come in the night
taxi dancers.
or oceans I'm learning to tell
The uncomfortable shoes that look
The blood I keep to myself.
and view what I want kept secret
The blanket-turned-lover.
it wants too much room
The glow of my skin when I'm alone
that calls people to me--
The women in my family
preach dark,
then wail
coffee without the cream
these women and I,
that sometimes frighten
are transformed: the oceans,
in the pages that come
Forget the word sorrow.
Also discard
Rename these ideas, these constructs,
Rework it all
and I will bring
I'm a mixture of autumn

Check Out the Trailer for Former Pantera Bassist Rex Brown's Upcoming Memoir
When I think of heavy metal in the 90's the first band that comes to mind is Pantera. While the music industry claimed metal was dead, Pantera was steadily filling arenas and flipping a big ol' middle finger to the doubters and now we get our first glimpse at life behind the scenes with bassist Rex Brown's upcoming memoir 'Official Truth, 101 Proof: The Inside Story of Pantera'.
I couldn't help but be moved when I watched the trailer for the first time as I think back to everything that was and what could've been. Pantera holds a special place in my heart and I treasure every single memory I have of the band. And man do I have a lotta memories of the band. From watching them live to laughing my ass off at their home videos, hanging at Vinnie Paul's house trying not to geek out and go total fanboy on him, drinking Black Tooth Grins with Dime at The Clubhouse and a million more.
Time to create some new memories with Rex's memoir and not to mention, Phil Anselmo's story is in the works as I write this.
'Official Truth, 101 Proof: The Inside Story of Pantera' hits the shelves March 12 via Da Capo Press.
