Washington (AFP) Nov 8, 2012
A US soldier accused of leaking a trove of secret files to WikiLeaks has offered to plead guilty to some but not all of the charges he faces in a pending court-martial, his defense lawyer said.
Bradley Manning, 24, "is not pleading guilty to the specifications as charged by the Government," his attorney, David Coombs wrote on his blog on Wednesday.
"Rather, PFC (Private First Class) Manning is attempting to accept responsibility for offenses that are encapsulated within, or are a subset of, the charged offenses," he wrote.
It was up to a military court to rule whether his plea was "legally permissible," and then government prosecutors would have to decide if they would continue to pursue all the charges against Manning, he said.
"PFC Manning is not submitting a plea as part of an agreement or deal with the Government," Coombs added.
The defense relayed the offer to a military judge at pre-trial hearings being held at Fort Meade, Maryland on Wednesday and Thursday.
By making the offer, Manning indicated he was ready to plead guilty to passing government information to WikiLeaks, though it was unclear if he would admit to passing all the files cited by prosecutors.
If the plea is deemed legal by the court, it could potentially simplify the trial, which is due to start on February 4, 2013, and possibly shield Manning from being convicted on more serious federal offenses related to computer fraud and the Espionage Act.
Manning had the option of being tried by a military jury but he informed the court he preferred to be tried by a judge only, according to Coombs.
Arrested in May 2010 while serving as an army intelligence analyst near Baghdad, Manning is charged with leaking classified military intelligence files on Iraq and Afghanistan and about 260,000 cables from the State Department.
The publication of the sensitive files by the secret-spilling WikiLeaks website caused huge embarrassment to Washington and angered US allies.

Baidu Antivirus 2017 Free Download. Review – Baidu Antivirus 2016 elements holding nothing back one insurance against infections, malware, surfing security, Anti-Phishing, and so on. It likewise gloats a coordinated Firewall, USB insurance and much, a great deal more. Additionally, this antivirus programming is totally free, giving you the same if not in any case better insurance then its overwhelming weight rivals.
When you open its principle window, which is wonderfully done coincidentally, you will discover a large group of little symbols on the upper right-hand side of the window, yet all the more about them later. Presently, we will be concentrating on the left-hand side where you will see three catches. Sweep, Protection and Toolbox. These make the center of the system.
Baidu Antivirus 2017 Free Download Latest Version
When you tap the Scan catch, you will see (ideally) the message "Your PC is sheltered!". In the event that you see an alternate message I propose you begin a sweep of your PC instantly. In the Scan segment of the system you can pick between three Scan choices. The first is Quick sweep, which you will notice immediately in light of the fact that it's a major green catch. It's a kind of an instrument to rapidly check whether there's any contamination in the piece of the framework that you are at present utilizing or to check if there're dangers that begin when your framework boots up. When you begin Quick sweep, you will be enjoyably astonished at the sheer number of things that are being examined. Give me a chance to give you a snappy short-list: System memory, Start-up things, System administrations, System logon arrangement, boot area, and so forth. There are no not as much as (read) eleven distinct things that Quick sweep experiences, which even a portion of the prissiest antivirus programming doesn't examine. Other than Quick sweep, you additionally have the Full output, which is the same thing aside from it filters ALL the records on your PC, and the Custom Scan that will work with a chose organizer.
Baidu Antivirus 2017 Free Download Offline Installer
I must include before I proceed with, that the rate of the sweep, regardless of on the off chance that it's a Quick Scan or Full Scan is shocking. Try not to quote me on this however I believe it's the speediest in its field. How about we proceed onward to the Protection piece of this astounding system. When you tap on the Protection catch, you will see an all around outlined window highlighting a decent activity and some fundamental data like File Protection, Threats distinguished and so on the left. Yet, we're more into the part on the privilege. There you can control what securities you need turned on or off. It's separated into three gatherings: Computer, Internet and Privacy Protection. Each of these gatherings has choices which you can turn on or off, as I said. Case in point, you can kill Real-time assurance, USB security, Anti-Phishing, Firewall et cetera. There are an aggregate of nine assurance choices that you can oversee here without any difficulty.
Lastly, we have the Toolbox segment, which is no less critical than the other two. It is packed with nine amazingly valuable apparatuses. I won't name every one of them yet some simply stand out and should be said. To start with, there is a Sandbox choice, which detaches obscure dangers. Furthermore, Browser Protection, which keeps your landing page from being vindictively changed. At that point, you have System Repair, Ad Blocker for your program, and so on. Pleasantly done, Baidu!
Presently, I might simply want to include a couple words about a percentage of the elements that I loved a ton. As I said before, the GUI is dazzlingly done. Everything is in its place, very much composed, and the subject is exceptional. Regardless of the possibility that you don't care for it, there are eight more to browse. Likewise, I cherish that is says "Free everlastingly" in the spot where you would regularly see a Buy catch. Additionally it effectively secures your cloud. I need to specify that you have the standard choices in the plate in the event that you tap on its symbol.
I need to concede, I was somewhat suspicious about antiviruses that are gratis. Power of propensity I figure, yet Baidu Antivirus 2017 cleared me out. It stays aware of the "Huge pooches" and, as I would like to think, even rises above them in a few regions. Two thumbs up for the Baidu group and its astounding programming.

Today Gov. John R. Kasich released the following statement upon final passage of education legislation associated with his Mid-Biennium Review.
"Getting Ohio back on track means making sure that Ohio's kids, as well as Ohio's workers, are prepared for the challenges of a changing world. It's just as important for third graders to be able to read as it is for incumbent workers to be able to upgrade their skills so their employers can stay competitive and they can keep their jobs to support their families. Addressing the full arc of Ohio's education, training and workforce development needs in an interconnected way helps us align our resources more strategically to help produce better results--better prepared students, better training for workers, and a better workforce for job creators. The partnership with Sen. Lehner and Rep. Stebelton was essential to passing this bill, as was the leadership of Senate President Niehaus and Speaker Batchelder. There's much more work to be done, but this bill is a huge step forward and progress on which we can build to start producing needed results for Ohioans."

GATESVILLE — Size does matter.
Attic Breeze, a company that manufactures solar-powered attic fans and skylights, is living up to its company motto with an expansion project that will more than double its plant at 1370 Farm-to-Market 116.
Early this month, the company broke ground on a 25,000-square-foot building alongside the 17,000-square-foot facility built in 2009.
"This (expansion) will help us with more equipment space and more warehouse space," said owner Travis Hipp.
The new building, expected to be finished in May, will free up room in the older building to add more office space for a growing sales staff, Hipp said.
Attic Breeze is asking Coryell County to extend the tax abatement granted for the original building to include the new construction, Hipp said.
Under the current schedule for original construction of about $500,000, the tax abatement is graduated over seven years, from 90 percent the first year down to 10 percent the seventh year.
Hipp is asking that the additional $310,000 property value added by the expansion be rolled into the abatement schedule.
The project will create about 20 construction jobs.
Hipp said the increased production from the expansion will probably add five jobs to the current 15-member workforce.
Like the existing plant, the new structure will include a solar-panel array on the roof to provide electricity.
The company has annual sales of $2.5 million to $3 million, according to the application.
Attic Breeze makes 30 models of solar-powered fans and tubular skylights, Hipp said, and ships 6,000 to 8,000 units to customers each year.
The Coryell County Commissioners Court has not taken action on the tax abatement application.

Pure Spring
Written by Brian Doyle
- 160 Pages

8.500" x
Publication Date April 01, 2007
In the sequel to the award-winning Boy O'Boy, it's spring in post-World War II Ottawa and Martin O'Boy has finally found a true home with Grampa Rip. Martin's also found a job, working for the Pure Spring soft drink company. Best of all, he's in love with beautiful Gerty McDowell.
But everything's not perfect. Martin lied to kindly Mr. Mirsky, Pure Spring's owner, to get the job. Grampa Rip's brain increasingly goes missing. There's that mysterious, yet oddly familiar, man in the park. There are also Martin's memories, the sudden appearance of famed Soviet defector Igor Gouzensko, and Martin's shady boss, Randy. And worst of all, Randy is robbing Gerty's grandfather, and he's forcing Martin to be his accomplice. Martin's happiness, sense of duty, and love for Gerty collide. Can he find his way through these dire developments?
Brian Doyle's fast-paced plot and vivid characterizations, along with the lively colloquial dialogue and period detail, create a rich historical portrait that confirms the author's place as a master storyteller.

Brian Doyle
Brian Doyle is a four-time winner of the Canadian Library Association's Book of the Year for Children Award. His American honors include being selected for the Horn Book's Fanfare List, the ABA "Pick of the Lists" and the New York Public Library's Best Books for the Teen Age. He has also won the NSK Neustadt Prize, the Phoenix Honor Award, and he has been named a finalist for the Hans Christian Anderson Award. He lives in Chelsea, Quebec.
"As always, Doyle rounds out the grimness with comedic scenes, balancing tragedy and pain with touching descriptions of the dizzying first love between Martin and Gerty McDowell...Doyle's gentle, affectionate touch makes for a story that ultimately goes down as sweet as a Pure Spring Honee Orange soft drink." Horn Book, STARRED REVIEW
"This is Brian Doyle at his finest: compassionate and tough, in complete control of lucid prose that neither gets in the way nor gives away too much....tenderly hopeful yet also realistic. This is a marvelous read." Quill & Quire, STARRED REVIEW
"...a triumphant return...complete with a sparkling array of characters and a story bubbling with drama and tension...Pure Spring is a case of pure pleasure." Books in Canada
"...Doyle's writing is to be savoured....Pure Spring is superbly done. Highly Recommended." CM Magazine
"Doyle is a first-class writer in every sense of the word. For those who can think back to circa 1950, he's brought it all vividly to life again. For the in-betweens who can't, this book is better than a history lesson. It's highly recommended." Guardian
"It's a delightful story and a funny one, narrated by Martin, but other, darker story strands flow beneath and in and out of this narrative stream...Which is not to say that darkness prevails in Pure Spring. Rather, Martin does and, it must be said, so does Doyle, Brian. Once again, he's spun a marvelous tale, weaving light and dark into a multifaceted gem of a book, in which the eccentric cast of characters...is quite capable of inducing both tears and laughter." Globe and Mail
"Like [Boy O'Boy], it's invested with a sense of innocence, is rich in period detail, and is redolent of Doyle's nostalgia for the good old days...Martin and his Grandpa Rip are engaging characters, and Doyle fans will welcome his latest effort." Booklist
"Pure Spring is a remarkable interlace of tragedy, comedy, romance and even high adventure. It's a blend that only Doyle can mix - a story that's quick-paced and accessible, engages even reluctant readers, and has literary genius and human wisdom at its heart." Toronto Star
"The pace and the easy to read narrative, while challenging the reader, is also chatty, humourous, and comfortable." Resource Links
"...timeless..." Reviewers of Young Adult Literature
"Although this book deals with some very serious themes...there are many humorous moments, and the book's message is ultimately one of redemption...a moving and often beautiful novel." School Library Journal
"Brian Doyle continues to create characters to love and situations that cause tears to flow, through laughter and sorrow. He is a gifted writer whose work belongs in every library...school and public. His stories beg reading aloud in classrooms everywhere." Brandon Sun
"His singular writing style and finely developed characters are a delight to know. Yet Doyle does not neglect the raw and sometimes painful events of childhood in his warm and funny narrative." Language Arts
"With his straightforward and uninflected compact sentences, Martin reads like a Hemingway narrator, but one of a tender and hopeful mind and an abiding interest humankind despite his setbacks." Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

Dear Members of the Section on Early Education and Child Care:
Welcome section members and friends to the March issue of our section newsletter. The winter has been long and difficult but as spring offers hope of new energy and new life we move ahead in our efforts to enhance health and safety of children in out of home settings.
As the AAP joins Mrs Obama in the White House Obesity Initiative, there is interest in child care as a setting to develop best practices.
Unfortunately SIDS is still a risk for infants, but the cause and prevention continue to make news and we can reduce the risk!
Check out how texting can reach young mothers (Text4Baby Initiative) and lastly check out where your state stands in relation to key policy choices that affect the well-being of young children. Be an ADVOCATE in your state!!!

New Reports:
Best-Practice Guidelines for Physical Activity at Child Care
Some evidence suggests that organized child care may not adequately support children's physical activity needs. Although many organizations provide recommendations, guidelines, or standards for motor skill development and physical activity opportunities, no set of guidelines exist that directly target the overall physical activity environment at child care. Because of the lack of comprehensive recommendations, the Nutrition and Physical Activity Self-Assessment for Child Care best practice guidelines for healthy weight development were created on the basis of an extensive review of existing guidelines, research evidence, and expert review. The purpose of this article was to present these physical activity best-practice guidelines and provide data on how these guidelines compare to current practice in a large sample (N = 96) of child care centers in North Carolina.
Nutrition and Physical Activity Policies and Practices in Family Child Care Homes
Family child care homes (FCCHs) are the second-largest provider of nonrelative care in the US. However, despite providing care for nearly 1.9 million children aged <5 years, little is known about the nutrition and physical activity practices of FCCHs. To address this gap, this study aimed to describe policies and practices related to nutrition and physical activity in a representative sample of FCCHs.
What Works? A Study of Effective Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation Programs
Early childhood mental health consultation (ECMHC) is emerging as an effective strategy for addressing challenging behaviors and supporting young children's social/emotional development in early education and child care settings. This report summarizes the findings from a study by the Georgetown University Center for Child and Human Development to address critical knowledge gaps in the field and provide data-driven guidance around consultation program design. The study offers key recommendations for policymakers/funders, ECMHC providers, early care and education program administrators, and researchers/evaluators.
Brainstem Serotonergic Deficiency in Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
A new study funded by the National Institutes of Health found that the brains of infants who die of SIDS produce low levels of serotonin. The researchers theorize that this newly discovered serotonin abnormality may reduce infants' capacity to respond to breathing challenges, such as low oxygen levels or high levels of carbon dioxide. These high levels may result from re-breathing exhaled carbon dioxide that accumulates in bedding while sleeping face down.
Household Routines and Obesity in US Preschool-Aged Children
The purpose of this study was to determine the association between the prevalence of obesity in preschool-aged children and exposure to 3 household routines: regularly eating the evening meal as a family, obtaining adequate sleep, and limiting screen-viewing time. Results showed that US preschool-aged children exposed to the 3 household routines had an approximate 40% lower prevalence of obesity than those exposed to none of these routines. Authors conclude that these household routines may be promising targets for obesity-prevention efforts in early childhood.

Developmental Delays Surge in Oregon Kids, and Educators Say That Should Mean Increased Services for Them
The number of young children identified as having developmental delays has risen in Oregon, led mainly by a huge one-year surge in Multnomah County, reports the state. Special education leaders say many toddlers and preschoolers in need of help were missed in the past. Read more about this article and what section member David Willis, MD, FAAP, has to say about developmental delays.
Preschools Add Brush-and-Spit to Day
Massachusetts is the first state to add toothbrush time to the color-nap-snack-and-play routine of preschools, requiring that all children who eat a meal at child care, or attend for more than 4 hours, brush their teeth during class and be educated about oral health.

New Resources:
FREE Reducing the Risk of SIDS in Child Care Online Module
The recent report (2009) "The Physician's Role in Reducing SIDS" in Health Promotion Practice performed a study to determine physicians' knowledge of SIDS. Although most all respondents (99.5%) agreed that certain measures can be taken to reduce the risks of SIDS, 30.3% incorrectly stated that the safest sleep position is something other than on the back.
The new AAP Reducing the Risk of SIDS in Child Care online module was developed for child care providers. However, pediatricians can also participate in this FREE course to make sure they are up-to-date with the AAP recommendations around safe sleep. Pediatricians can also encourage parents, grandparents, relatives, child care providers, and other health care professionals to take this FREE course.
Medical Home Video
The focus of Child Health Day 2009 was "Every Child Deserves a Medical Home." To recognize Child Health Day, the AAP National Center for Medical Home Implementation produced a video compilation featuring children, families, and providers across the country who illustrate the value and importance of a medical home for all children and youth. You can view the video and other resources from Child Health Day, including coloring sheets and flyers, on the National Center's Web site.
White House Obesity Initiative
On February 9, 2010, President Barack Obama signed a memorandum on childhood obesity. The AAP has joined the White House, the US Department of Health and Human Services, the US Department of Education, and the US Department of Agriculture in "Let's Move", a new initiative to reduce rates of overweight and obesity in our nation's children. Please visit the AAP's obesity initiatives Web site for information on how you can partner with families and communities to support children in healthy active living.
Text4baby is an unprecedented mobile health public-private partnership designed to promote maternal and child health among underserved women. Text4baby – the first-ever free mobile health service in the United States—provides timely and expert health information through SMS text messages to pregnant women and new moms through their babies' first year.
By texting BABY to 511411 (or BEBE for Spanish), women receive three free SMS text messages each week timed to their due date or baby's date of birth. These messages focus on a variety of topics critical to maternal and child health, including birth defects prevention, immunization, nutrition, seasonal flu, mental health, oral health and safe sleep. Text4baby messages also connect women to prenatal and infant care services and other resources. The AAP is one of the organizational partners in this effort. The Bright Futures initiative at the AAP and section member Laura Jana, MD, FAAP, are assisting with the development of messages.
What Works? A Series on Effective Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation
The Georgetown University's Center for Child and Human Development is holding a series of 8 Webinars describing effective models, strategies, and practices for designing, delivering, and evaluating early childhood mental health consultation (ECMHC) services. Based on a 2009 study of 6 early childhood
mental health consultation programs with positive outcomes, these Webinars intend to move the field of early childhood mental health consultation forward by:
In each seminar, speakers will provide information on the points listed above, identify appropriate tools and resources, and respond to participant comments and questions. Space is limited and is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. If you are unable to participate in the series, each Webinar will be archived online following each Webinar and will be available to the field.
CLASP Launches New Web site for Babies in Child Care
The Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP) has a new Web resource for the Charting Progress for Babies in Child Care project. New pages for each of the project's 15 recommendations feature tabs that contain research to support recommendations, research bibliographies, policy ideas, and other resources. CLASP is also developing online tools to help states chart their progress in improving infant/toddler care.
Updated State Early Childhood Profiles
The Improving the Odds for Young Children project recently updated its state profiles of key policy choices that affect the well-being and school readiness of young children birth to 5 years.
These policies fall into 3 categories: health and nutrition, early care and learning, and parenting and economic supports. Use these state profiles for a quick yet comprehensive overview of a state's efforts to promote healthy development and school readiness.
QRIS National Learning Network
A network of national organizations have come together to form the Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS) National Learning Network to assist states that are using quality rating and improvement systems to raise the quality of early care and education. The group recently launched a new Web site that includes a collection of reports, state-by-state resources and contacts to facilitate exchange of information and ideas, as well as a list of organizations that can provide more intensive technical assistance.

hi all,
just wanted to introduce myself here. I started training in MMA earlier this year but I've been involved in it for years. I'm currently training in Manchester and It's awesome.
now, I know a lot of guys use protein supplements while training, but i'm wondering whether they work, or just make you pile on the pounds. I'm currently about 88kg and i need to lose some fat but put on a bit of muscle. wanna get down to about 82kg maybe.
so if the protein supplements work, when do I use them, how often and at what quantity?

I certainly do not want to derail the discussion and turn it into a paleographic argument, so perhaps we should take this to private email.
However, if it is a customary habit of transcription to fail to record the presence of brevigraphs in a manuscript and, instead, to substitute for them a simple letter, then those habits are flawed because they may all too easily produce larger errors of meaning, such as the one I pointed out in your original post. In other words, if someone concludes that "apparel" was pronounced as "appell" based on a customary habit of transcription that failed to take note of a brevigraph and substituted a plain "p", then the transcription practice has played a role in producing an unsupportable conclusion (at least based on the "evidence" of that document). Put slightly differently, the transcriber needs to note when a "p" is not a "p" or s/he hasn't done his paleographic duty (the penalties for which are severe and may include an official withdrawl of the hand of paleographic fellowship!)

Subject: Woodstock
1. Larry Weiss complains that I have not yet risen to the bait of his fake and dishonest review of The Tragedy of Richard II, Part One. His impatience betrays his intent, which is to continue his role of prosecuting attorney (Mr Weiss's day job, if I am not mistaken). Well, Larry, that's one of the reasons I declined in the first place to participate in the charade you and Ward Elliott set up—verdict first, trial afterward. I don't fear any honest discussion of my evidence—it's overwhelming. I will of course respond to your statement, though in my own time. I have promises to keep, among them a new Complete Shakespeare—for the first time, really complete, with the likeliest "apocryphal" plays printed alongside their First Folio counterparts, e.g. The Taming of a Shrew and The Taming of the Shrew, The Troublesome Reign and King John, etc.
BTW, I am looking for Introducers/Editors, so if any readers would like to offer their talents I'll be glad to receive them. You may propose one play or a group of plays.
2. Thanks to Eric Johnson-DeBaufre for pointing out to Duncan Salkeld that the apparently phonetic 'appell' is a transcription device. Theoretically of course any multisyllabic word can be slurred. My overlooked point however was that there is simply no warrant for assuming the dramatist's intention that 'apparel' should be slurred (have we forgotten the Intentional Fallacy, by the way?) and every reason to think he would want to avoid it. 'Apparel' plays a big role in the play, and is the source of its dominant clothing imagery. From a dramatist's point of view, nothing is gained by obscuring the word's meaning.
But let's take a clearer instance of Jackson's text manipulation. He quotes the following exchange, which is a nicely split iambic pentameter except for the annoying fact that there is an extra beat introduced by the repetition of "Nay":
Duchess: What have you seen, my lord?
Woodstock: Nay, nay, nothing, wife.
—1 Richard II , I.iii.64-5
So Jackson just deletes one of the Nays, on the grounds that in his opinion it is 'metrically unstressed' (which it plainly is not): He writes:
"I take 'Nay, nay' as being metrically unstressed, so that the line has five metrical stresses, as it would if there were a single 'Nay.'
He 'takes' it to be so. Is this what passes for scholarship nowadays? Jackson can believe what he likes, but it is not evidence. This is especially so because far from being unstressed, the doubly emphasized 'Nay' is the most powerful signifier in the entire exchange. It's a deliberate emphasis. Woodstock is embarrassedly denying to his wife, in the presence of the whole court, that he has been looking at other women. The intruding 'Nay' intentionally stands out by upsetting the Duchess's introductory iambs, while the gathering alliteration of Ns—nay, nay, noth—provides three heavily accented beats.
In other words, it's prose. Had the author wanted a pentameter he could easily have deleted one of the Nays himself 'What have you seen, my lord? / Nay, nothing wife.' He took a different road, and that makes all the difference.
Thank you

I. Grade Change Request and Academic Disputes
Informal Appeals Process for Academic Disputes: The College provides an informal procedure to assist faculty and students in resolving grade disputes. The teaching faculty is authorized to issue grades based on their assessment of the student's level of performance, participation, quality and quantity of work. However, students who believe a faculty member has issued an incorrect grade(s) based on written documentation may seek recourse through the Informal Appeals Process, as outlined below: It is the student's responsibility to request a conference with the instructor(s) involved within 30 calendar days after the end of the term in which the grade was issued. If the student and the instructor agree on the terms and conditions of a grade change or grade dispute, the matter will be resolved. If the student disagrees with the instructor, the student's next step is to contact the appropriate School Chair. The School Chair may arrange a meeting with the student and/or the instructor in an effort to resolve the grade dispute. If the issue remains unresolved, the matter moves to the Formal Appeals Process.
II. Formal Appeals Process for Academic Grade Disputes
If the grade dispute is not resolved at the level of the School Chair, the student must submit a formal appeal form with supporting documentation in writing to the Question & Answer Center. The Question & Answer Center is located on all Daytona State College campuses. The Question and Answer Center staff will forward the appeal to the appropriate Associate Vice President for review and decision. The student will be notified of the decision in writing. If the student is satisfied with the decision, the matter is closed. If the student is not satisfied with the decision, the matter moves to the administrative review process. Reasonable accommodations will be made for distance learning students who are not able to attend meetings on one of the college's campuses.
Administrative Review Process for Academic Grade Disputes
If the student is not satisfied with the decision made by the Associate Vice President, the student may request an administrative review process to the Vice President of Academic Affairs and/or the Vice President of Student Development. The student must submit a written request and explain the reason for the administrative review. The vice presidents will review the written request and make an appropriate decision. The student will be notified of the final decision in writing. Please see the most recent student handbook for detailed information.
Academic Integrity Code
Daytona State College is committed to providing students with quality instruction, guidance and opportunities for academic and career success by fostering academic excellence in a supportive and personalized learning environment. Maintaining high standards of academic honesty and integrity in higher education is a shared responsibility and an excellent foundation for assisting you in making honorable and ethical contributions to the profession for which you are preparing. In order to preserve academic excellence and integrity, the College expects you to know, understand and comply with the Academic Integrity Code, which prohibits academic dishonesty in any form, including, but not limited to, cheating and plagiarism. Grades conferred by instructors are intended to be accurate and true reflections of the coursework actually produced and submitted by you. Suspected violations of the student academic dishonesty code may be reported to the appropriate academic chairperson for resolution. In some cases, students may also be referred to the Judicial Affairs Office for appropriate disciplinary action. For detailed information, please see the most recent student handbook.
The Resolution Process for Academic Dishonesty
- The instructor conducting the course may notify the student verbally or in writing that the student is suspected of academic dishonesty and offer an appropriate resolution or academic consequence.
- If the matter is not resolved with the instructor, the student has the option of scheduling a meeting with the appropriate school chairperson, who will review the matter and offer an appropriate resolution or academic consequence.
- If the student is not satisfied with the decision made by the school chairperson, the student may request a meeting with the appropriate Associate Vice President for review and/or resolution. This ends the formal process for resolving grade disputes and academic dishonesty. The student may request an administrative review to the Vice President of Academic Affairs. and/or the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. The student must submit a written request and explain the reason for the administrative review. The Vice Presidents may uphold and decision of the Associate Vice President or make an alternate decision. The student will be notified of the decision in writing, in person or by telephone.
Student's Grade Pending Appeal Decision
Until a decision is rendered, the student's grade for the exam, assignment or project in question may be placed on hold pending an appeal decision. If a decision has not been made by the end of the semester in which the incident occurred, a grade of "Incomplete" may be assigned until the matter is resolved. If the student is found in violation of any form of academic dishonesty, the exam, assignment or project will be graded and an appropriate grade will be assigned by the instructor. The instructor is authorized to issue an "F" failing grade for the course in question. Additional discipline sanctions may also be administered by the college's Judicial Affairs Office.

Furmans move from historical downtown Greenville to the foothills of Paris Mountain resulted in complete support from the community. Those who resided in Greenville in the 1950s also experienced the vast population growth succeeding the war. The greatest concern of the public existed not on the funding of the construction, nor the population growth in the community, but the concern for upholding Furman tradition in the midst of a new location.
A November 11, 1958 Greenville News paper states, Left behind after the move to the New Campus this fall will be traditions, customs and memories which cannot make the transition from old to new. Some will perhaps linger on, others either have already faded or will pass with time in the modern new setting. Among many of the traditions that the community hoped would prevail were the events of homecoming, May Day, pep meetings, the singing of Brown Eyes, and Class Day. May Day was an organized event in which a May Queen is elected and entertained by jesters and performers in an all-student production. Not only were the activities that honored Furman students highly admired, but also the architecture and classrooms of the Old College received an abundance of praise.
Some of the early day traditions had long lost out, such as the Furman boys walking on the left side of the street in order to attract attention from ladies who attended Chicora College.
Another concern regarding the move of the campus entailed the idea that Furman student should have an environment where the all work and no play adage would not likely be applicable. Due to an increase in higher caliber Furman students resulting from population growth in Greenville, the community felt as though the students needed an environment to balance all aspects of life including spiritual and social growth. Hence, a new Furman Campus along with its beautiful atmosphere was constructed . . . not to mention a new tradition of Beach Weekend.

Mapping the regulatory environment : implications for construction firms
Furneaux, Craig, Brown, Kerry, & Hampson, Keith D. (2007) Mapping the regulatory environment : implications for construction firms. In CIB 2007 World Building Conference, Cape Town, South Africa, Proceedings CIB World Building Congress, May 2007, Cape Town, South Africa.
|PDF (292kB)
As regulators, governments are often criticised for over‐regulating industries. This research project seeks to examine the regulation affecting the construction industry in a federal system of government. It uses a case study of the Australian system of government to focus on the question of the implications of regulation in the construction industry. Having established the extent of the regulatory environment, the research project considers the costs associated with this environment. Consequently, ways in which the regulatory burden on industry can be reduced are evaluated. The Construction Industry Business Environment project is working with industry and government agencies to improve regulatory harmonisation in Australia, and thereby reduce the regulatory burden on industry. It is found that while taxation and compliance costs are not likely to be reduced in the short term, costs arising from having to adapt to variation between regulatory regimes in a federal system of government, seem the most promising way of reducing regulatory costs. Identifying and reducing adaptive costs across jurisdictional are argued to present a novel approach to regulatory reform.

NEW YORK CITY – Nestlé Prepared Foods Co. said it plans to decrease the sodium content in its products by another 10% beyond reductions made earlier this decade.
The initiative will carry through 2015 and includes the company's popular Hot Pockets, Lean Pockets, Stouffer's, Lean Cuisine and Buitoni brands, which will undergo gradual but steady recipe changes in order to bring down sodium levels without impacting taste.
Nestlé began its gradual sodium reduction initiative in 2005. Sodium levels that were as high as 1,000mg. a serving in some products have since been reduced to 610mg. per serving across the Hot Pocket handheld sandwich line, and an average 606mg. per serving in the Lean Cuisine line. Both items are popular in vending.
Nestlé said its approach of "stepwise, moderate reductions" has helped consumers gradually adapt their taste for salt, making their choices more likely to last.

Garlic Dijon Skirt Steak
Skirt Steak Fajitas with Lime and Black Pepper
Garlic Dijon Skirt Steak (courtesy of Gourmet Magazine)
Prep: 25 min
Cook: 6 min
Servings: 1-2
Ingredients: 2 garlic cloves, minced; 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard; 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice; 1 (10-ounce) skirt steak.
In a bowl, stir together the garlic, mustard, and lime juice. Trim the steak if necessary. Rub steak with mustard mixture and marinate 15 minutes. Heat a well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat until just smoking and grill steak 3 minutes on each side. (Alternatively, broil steak on the rack of a broiler pan about 4 inches from heat.) Transfer steak to a platter and let stand, uncovered, 5 minutes. With a sharp knife, diagonally cut the steak across the grain into 1/3-inch-thick slices and serve with coleslaw and fries.
Skirt Steak Fajitas with Lime and Black Pepper
Ingredients: 2 large onions, peeled and cut lengthwise into 6 wedges, leaving root ends intact; 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil; 2 1/2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar; 1 1/2 teaspoons salt; 1/4 cup fresh lime juice; 2 pounds skirt steak, halved crosswise; 2 1/2 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper; 18 flour tortillas; 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves; 1 cup salsa (homemade or store-bought).
Prepare grill for cooking. Thread onions onto skewers (or put in grill basket), then brush with 1/2 tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper. When fire is medium-hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for three-to-four seconds), grill onions, turning occasionally, until tender, 16-to-20 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board. When just cool enough to handle, cut onions into 1-inch pieces and toss with vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. While onions are grilling, stir together lime juice and remaining teaspoon salt and 2 tablespoons oil in a shallow dish, then add steak and marinate at room temperature, turning once, 10 minutes. Pat steak dry, then rub with pepper. Grill steak on lightly oiled grill rack, turning once, 6-to-10 minutes total for medium-rare. Transfer to cutting board, then let stand 5 minutes before cutting diagonally into thin slices. While steak is standing, toast tortillas directly on grill rack, turning once, until puffed slightly and browned in spots, about 1 minute total. Serve steak, onions, cilantro and a spoonful of salsa all wrapped in tortillas. Cook's note: If you aren't able to grill, onions (no need to skewer) and steak can be cooked in a lightly oiled well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat, and tortillas can be toasted over gas (hold with tongs) or directly on top of electric burners. Cut skirt steak into pieces to fit in grill pan and grill in batches without crowding.

A 24-year old man from Warren (Michigan), is accused of driving a pickup truck without brakes resulting into crashing into at least 4 other cars. He thought that he can imitate Fred Flintstone and stop the car using his feet!
The 24-year-old man attempted to drive home in a vehicle that had no brakes at about 5:45 p.m. Wednesday, said Roseville Deputy Police Chief James Berlin.
The man was traveling in the area of Interstate 696 and Groesbeck Highway, he said. He was sticking his feet out of the vehicle door to slow and stop the vehicle when necessary — "moronic decision-making," according to Berlin.
But he was unable to stop the vehicle when he got to the intersection of Groesbeck and 13 Mile, officials said. His vehicle went through the crossing and struck two vehicles, Berlin said. The damage was minor and no one was injured.
He continued on and tried to use his feet to stop the vehicle as he approached the intersection of Groesbeck and Utica Road. Again unable to stop, he struck two more vehicles.
Berlin said the man was not intoxicated or under the influence of any drugs.
The suspect told police he was tired and was trying to drive home because he had to be at work the next morning. He also told officers his brakes first failed at 11 Mile and Bunert in Warren, but he opted to continue driving home instead of parking the vehicle and calling for help, officials said.

He is reported to drive at about 40 mph.
Witnesses said the man reached speeds of about 40 mph and was able to stop the car on at least two occasions. The car eventually struck four vehicles.
"This guy's no rocket scientist," Berlin said. "Citizens were calling in saying this guy is all over the road, using his feet."
He struck two vehicles after being unable to stop at a red light, and continued on. An officer who pulled next to the man's car told him to shift into "park," but that didn't work and he rolled into two other vehicles before the car stopped.
"He said he was going to fix the brakes when he got home," Berlin said.

All it takes is a little strategy to excite your child with
visits from butterflies in your very own butterfly garden.
"Understanding butterflies makes it clear why you plant the
things you're going to plant," says Kathy Johnson, the children's
garden manager at Morton Arboretum, a nonprofit dedicated to tree
appreciation, planting and conservation. A successful garden
satisfies the needs of each stage of the butterfly's life cycle. In
short, you need food for the caterpillar as well as nectar for the
A good source to take care of both stages is a plant of the
Asclepias genus, commonly called the butterfly weed. The butterfly
weed, butterfly bush (Buddleia) and purple cone flower (Echinacea)
are the main attractors you need for your garden. "You put those in
your yard, you will have butterflies," Johnson says.
Because butterflies focus on red, orange, yellow and purple,
flowers of these colors, such as zinnias, daisies and asters, also
help attract the colorful creatures. Johnson suggests putting flat
stones in your garden because butterflies are too weak to hover
while they eat. Put out a pan of water if there's no open water
source near your home, and be sure to avoid pesticides.
"You can start with a small space and just the right plants and
things will come and visit you," Johnson says. A 3-square-foot area
suffices, but a bigger garden makes it easier to beckon those
beautiful butterflies.

From Paris, an ad hoc, urban ballet
by Simon Marks
International Herald Tribune
October 14, 2008
"The idea was to travel across the urban landscape as gracefully, intelligently and dynamically as possible. The practitioners - "traceurs," from the French verb "tracer," meaning to trail - were supposed to adapt to their environment in order to manipulate it in creative ways. Sixteen years on, they can be seen pulling off anything from gutsy leaps from roof tops to sublime balancing acts on metal railings."

WASHINGTON U.S. residents born after Dec. 1, 1964, will need to have new Homeland Security-approved drivers licenses by Dec. 1, 2014, if they want to use their ID to board an airplane or enter a federal building, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said Friday.
Older drivers will have until 2017, he said.
The new rules do not require states to issue the new identification cards, but residents of states that do not participate will not be able to use their driver's licenses as proof of identity at federal agencies.
States that need more time to comply with the new rules must apply for a waiver if they want their licenses to remain valid after May 2008.
Congress directed Homeland Security to devise the new rules as part of the Real ID Act, passed in 2005.
Congress was responding to the 9/11 Commission Report, which identified weaknesses in national security that allowed the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington on Sept. 11, 2001.
The Commission urged Congress to set nationwide standards for identification documents.
Chertoff says the new rules will make it harder for terrorists to slip past security checks, curb illegal immigration and reduce identity theft.
The rules prohibit states from issuing the new secure license to illegal immigrants.
States may issue other forms of identification to illegal immigrants, but they will not be valid for federal security use. "This kind of identification gives us a tremendous tool in preventing dangerous people from getting on airplanes or getting into federal buildings," Chertoff says. "Second, secure identification happens to be a very good way to prevent illegal immigrants from pretending to be American citizens so they can work illegally in this country."
To comply with the new rules, states must design licenses that include embedded security features set by Homeland Security and digital photographs.
Personal data, such as Social Security numbers and immigration status, will be checked against federal databases to root out fraud.
Chertoff says his department reviewed more than 21,000 comments from citizens, states and organizations before finalizing the rules.
Some civil liberties groups, such as the American Civil Liberties Union, have opposed national standards as a violation of privacy.
States have complained that the federal rules will be costly and difficult to implement and 17 states have passed legislation objecting to the REAL ID Act.
The new ID program "will not only lead to long lines at every DMV across the country, it will impose a massive unfunded mandate on state governments while offering absolutely no federal privacy protections to our citizens," says Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., who has introduced legislation that would repeal the driver's license provision. "It is difficult to think this is anything but the first, big step toward a national identification card."
Homeland Security estimates say revamping drivers licenses nationwide will cost states $3.9 billion.
