West Valley-Mission
Community College District Moves Forward With Measure C Projects
The West Valley-Mission Community College District is
quickly moving ahead with the first projects funded by Measure C, the $350
million facilities bond voters passed last June.
Over the next two months, the district plans to present the architect
selections to the WVMCCD Board of Trustees for several of the projects. Construction
is expected to begin in about 12 months.
At Mission College, projects include the Wellness and Human
Performance Building, the Facilities Replacement Building and Phase 2 of the
Main Building replacement. At West Valley College, projects include the ongoing
renovation of the Applied Arts and Sciences Building (some of the renovation
was funded by the previous bond measure, Measure H), the Facilities Replacement
Building and the new Student Services Building.
The district's rapid progress is a result of the successful
sale of the bond's first $100 million in August, an offering that drew a high
level of interest from investors. For some of the series, there were eight
times more orders from investors than bonds available, said Ed Maduli, WVMCCD
vice chancellor of administrative services. He attributes such demand to the district's
high credit ratings, which reflect the responsible way the district has managed
its overall fiscal house, including monies from Measure H.
"We essentially spent all of the money on construction and
didn't spend any money at all on administrator salaries and it shows in the
buildings that we produced," Maduli said. "We were able to do more than we'd
initially scheduled."
At the same time as the August bond offering, the district
also refinanced some existing debt from Measure H, ultimately saving voters about
$1.3 million, Maduli said.
Voters will also see a lower tax bill for the 2012-13 fiscal
year. The tax rate voters approved was $16.25 per $100,000 of assessed value;
the actual rate was $15 per $100,000.
Measure C continues the work begun under Measure H, with key
priorities including replacement of outdated classrooms, labs, lecture halls,
performing arts spaces and administrative facilities. It will also pay for such
things as the repair and replacement of leaky roofs, heating, cooling, plumbing
and electrical systems throughout the aging campuses as well as the updating of
technology infrastructure to help students prepare for transferring to
four-year universities.
Maduli said the district anticipates selling additional
bonds in about 2 ½ to 3 years, which allows the district enough time to ensure
the money from the first offering is spent.

This makes my job very difficult, because an application's flexibility in terms of CSS changes, etc., is a big part of what I need to evaluate. I can do this with a great deal of effort by learning the internals of each application or I can do it quickly and easily by studying a few samples of generated HTML... except that I can't see the generated HTML, because in these applications it's invisible.
Is there a way to see the "HTML" for the entire content of one of these pages?
How are you using Firebug to view the HTML?Normally it should show the "hard-coded"mark-up, as well as anything which is added dynamically.
Could you give us a link to one of the pages where you are having trouble?
Weird. I'm using Backbone.js which also renders the entire html dynamically and I never saw such issues.Have you tried testing it with Chrome? Not that I think the Firefox has issues, but just as a sanity check.
>Could you give us a link..
Since you asked, of course, it's working. Firebug is now displaying everything. I don't know why it's doing that now or how to make sure it will continue.
I'm opening Firebug by clicking the bug icon on the toolbar. I used to click the downarrow and select Firebug UI Location > Detached. For some reason that isn't working now, but it doesn't seem to affect anything else.
The example I'm working with now is the Swagger demo, for example, at http://petstore.swagger.wordnik.com/#!/user.
Although the source code in Firebug is complete (now) the source code in Firefox is very scanty. When I posted my question the source code in Firebug was similar. In the source code from Firefox, the body contains:
A <form> embedded in two
s. This corresponds to the green bar at the top of the page.
The following code, which generates everything else:
[INDENT]

[/INDENT]

Ginger: I did try it in Chrome, and got essentially the same results. I haven't tried again since Firebug started working for me.
Hi there,
I find it easier to right click somewhere on the page and select "Inspect Element with Firebug"You should then see something like the following:
Glad it's working now, though.

I recently noticed a red lump on my labia majora, where the hair grows. I don't know what it is, it doesn't itch but it does hurt a little when touched. I am not a sexually active person. Is it a cyst? Should I get checked or is it going to go away by itself?
Pimples and simple hair follicle infections can happen in the vulva and labial region so it is possible that is all this is. If you can do some hot soaks (warm rag or bath) for a few days, 10-15 minutes twice daily, it will likely go away. If not and it is growing or getting more tender, we should see you.

I met Royston whilst working in the kitchens at The Kenward Trust, a rehab center for alcoholics and drug abusers. Royston is an ex-resident, having completed the program and beating his alcohol addiction, he now works there as a councillor and estate manager.
Whilst battling his addiction he practiced falconry and collected birds of prey as a hobby to help him develop responsibility and the focus to get through his addiction. He now introduces the residents of Kenward to the birds as a form of therapy, helping them to overcome their own addictions through taking care of the birds and practicing falconry, which requires a bond that can take months to develop.
I am currently creating an illustrated book for my third year self directed project, based on my conversations with Royston regarding his journey through alcoholism.
Royston often mentioned one critical thing that is required to not only look after the birds but also to get through addiction: patience.

Michael Vick has one more shot with the Philadelphia Eagles. Vick knows Chip Kelly's offense fits his skill set, so he reconstructed his contract and now has a one year potentially $10 million deal. Vick has to stay healthy, and the $10 million question is how. Vick was on 94 WIP radio yesterday, and told Michael Barkann, that prayer and training will help him get through the season. "We'll see. I don't know what else to you? I can't give you no explanation for that. It's probably one of the toughest questions you've asked me since we've been talking. I don't know. I think just to train—train hard and pray to God. That's gonna be my motto. Hopefully I can sustain 16 games. If I'm out there—go out there and put forth your best effort and see what happens. That's it," Vick said. "We also have to realize, and I think you guys need to take into account that I was hit 170 times last year before I even went down. That's the most I ever been hit before I even got hurt. So, I kept getting up. My body was trained and conditioned to go the distance last year, it was just the fact that I got a head injury and that kind of took me out. That was kind of an out of the blue concussion. It just happened. Other than that, I got hit a lot and I got up, and I'm going to do the same thing this year. I'll get hit a lot, I'll get up. That's what it's all about. I mean, you just gotta train, you gotta prepare yourself, you gotta condition yourself, and the good thing is I know how to do that." If Vick can stay healthy and make good choices with the ball, Vick could have a marvelous 2013 season. That's a big if.

Islamabad: Awami National Party (ANP) leader Haji Adeel on Wednesday criticized Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Pakistan Army and the judiciary during a ceremony held by Human Rights Commission of Pakistan.
He said criticized the founding father of Pakistan for his decision to topple Sahrad Government and said his it was Jinnah's wrong decision.
The Senator also lashed out at the Judiciary and the country's powerful army for what he said partnership between both the institutions and budget allocations for the military.
Haji Adeel said that 90 percent of civil budget was being kept for army pensions. The ANP lawmaker said judiciary was submissive whenever the army took control of the country and became active against democratically elected governments.
It is to mention here that Haji Adeel was speaking at a ceremony held in connection with civil military relations and exploited the occasion to criticize the army but never mentioned the sacrifices rendered by the armed forces during war against militants and extremist who had almost crushed the Awami National Party in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The Senator also passed bigotry comments against Punjab when the KPK was hit by rare spells of loadhsedding. He blamed Punjab for the power outages despite the fact that Punjab already has facing the power crisis and refrained from criticizing the federal government, perhaps, due to ANP's share in it.
Moreover, the old politician was also condemned by the people of KPK and Punjab when he declared Muhammad bin Qasim, the Muslim conqueror, a looter and Raja Dahir a hero in the past.

Ecological (eco) taxes are promising mechanisms to enable eco-friendly decisions, but few people prefer them. In this study, we present a way in which eco-tax options may be communicated to general public to encourage their payment. Our implementation (called "information presentation") takes advantage of the non-linear relationship between eco-tax payments and CO2 emissions and the human reliance on the proportional-thinking heuristic. According to the proportional-thinking heuristic, people are likely to prefer a small eco-tax increase and judge larger eco-tax increases to cause proportionally greater CO2 emissions reductions. In an online study, participants were asked to choose between eco-tax increases in two problems: In one, a smaller eco-tax increase resulted in greater CO2 emissions reduction, while in the other, a smaller tax increase resulted in lesser CO2 emissions reduction. Although the larger eco-tax increase did not reduce CO2 emissions the most, across both problems, people judged larger eco-tax increases to cause proportionally greater reductions in CO2 emissions and preferred smaller tax increases. Thus, eco-tax policies would benefit by presenting information in terms of eco-tax increases, such that smaller eco-tax increases (which are more attractive and are likely to be chosen by people) cause greater CO2 emissions reductions.
Literature on human decision making broadly demonstrates that humans rely upon a number of heuristics [
An eco-tax (or carbon price) is the cost people would pay to emit a unit of CO2 in the atmosphere (units: $/ton of CO2 emissions or $/ton). Eco-taxes are promising economic mechanisms to enable eco-friendly decisions—decisions that reduce carbon-dioxide (CO2) emissions in the atmosphere and mitigate climate change [
People's reliance on the proportional-thinking heuristic is likely to be present for their decisions about eco-tax payment preferences and judgments. For example, by relying on the proportional-thinking heuristic, people are likely to prefer smaller tax increases, while associating larger tax increases to mean
According to the proportional-thinking heuristic, given a range of options for eco-tax payments to choose between and due to people's tendency to avoid the displeasure of paying higher taxes [
In addition, for eco-tax payments and the corresponding CO2 emission reductions, relying on proportional-thinking means that people believe that larger eco-tax increases will result in proportionally greater CO2 emissions reductions (
The problem with applying the proportional-thinking heuristic to eco-taxes is that it is not true that larger eco-tax increases result in greater CO2 emissions reductions. According to [
The main idea that we demonstrate in this paper is that a proper presentation of eco-taxes and their increases is likely to enable more eco-friendly choices, while people continue to associate larger tax increases with greater CO2 emissions reductions. Prior research in human psychology shows that a change in information presentation of a nonlinear mathematical problem can improve people's decisions in that problem [
In order to test people's tax preferences with respect to their judgments about CO2 emissions reductions, we ran an online experiment using two problems: one in which reliance on the proportional-thinking heuristic is likely to cause more eco-friendly preferences and is likely to hamper correct judgments about CO2 emissions reductions; and the other, where reliance on the proportional-thinking heuristic is likely to support correct judgments about emissions reductions and is likely to cause less eco-friendly preferences.
One hundred and sixty-five participants were recruited using Amazon's Mechanical Turk (MTurk). A majority of the participants were from the U.S., a few belonged to India and Mexico and the rest belonged to the European Union. In self-reports, more than 90% of participants indicated that they understood the text of the questions without any problem. Based on self-reported demographics, 54% were males, 40% held graduate degrees and the other 60% held undergraduate and high-school degrees and 67% had a background in science, technology, engineering, mathematics or medicine (STEM). Ages ranged from 18 to 55 years (M = 25, S.D. = 8). No participant took more than 5 minutes to complete the experiment, and each participant was paid ¢5. The payment amount is considered standard for studies of this length on MTurk [
Two problems, P1 and P2, each involving a choice between two options, were presented in a within-subjects design to participants [
The two problems, P1 and P2, given to participants in the experiment. Each problem involved two options, option 1 and 2, and two questions, question 1 and 2. The order of the presentation of the two options (left or right) was randomized within each problem, and the two options that appeared together in a problem were also randomized across the two problems. Question 1 asked people their preference for one of the two options. Question 2 gave people a tax budget of $100 per month and asked them to judge which option reduced most CO2 emissions in the atmosphere. The order of presentation of questions in each problem was first question 1 and then followed by question 2. The text in italics was not provided to participants and has been solely placed to aid in understanding of the material.
For each problem, participants were asked two questions. The first question (Q1, preference question) asked participants to choose one of the two options that they preferred. The second question (Q2, reduction-judgment question) gave participants a fixed personal tax-payment budget (=$100 per month) and asked them to choose the option that they thought would reduce CO2 emissions the most. In Q1, we expected participants to prefer the cheap eco-friendly and cheap eco-adverse options, while we expected participants to simultaneously judge the costly eco-friendly and costly eco-adverse options as reducing CO2 emissions the most for Q2.
The problems were administered through a website online, with participants answering both questions in both problems. Only one problem was presented at a time. MTurk was used to recruit and compensate participants. Participants read an advertisement about an eco-tax study and were asked to click a link to participate.
We compared the proportions of cheap and costly choices and the proportions of eco-friendly and eco-adverse choices in the preference question (Q1) aggregated across the two problems (see

In our results, a large majority (68%) of participants preferred the cheap eco-friendly option (see
We believe that people's preference for cheap options is likely due to their displeasure of incurring a greater loss due to tax payment. But, as we simply asked people which option they
We find that consistent with the proportional-thinking heuristic, people prefer smaller rather than larger eco-tax increases, while simultaneously judging larger increases as reducing CO2 emissions more, consistent with the proportional-thinking heuristic. Furthermore, we demonstrated how one could make use of the proportional-thinking heuristic to enable participants to make more eco-friendly choices: when participants are provided with ranges of tax increases, they prefer smaller increases, and their preference can result in greater CO2 reductions, depending on how information is presented.
People's preferences for smaller eco-taxes is likely due to the proportional-thinking heuristic [
Therefore, people's reliance on the proportional-thinking heuristic can be used to enable more eco-friendly choices, even while people believe that they are saving money by preferring the smallest eco-tax increase. This manipulation does not require any change in people's psychological processes, but only a change in the way information is presented for decision making. This kind of manipulation is also effective in enabling improved judgments in other decision problems [
According to [
Although eco-tax is specifically used in this study, the applicability of our manipulation is broad and widespread, given people's reliance on heuristics. A number of other important real-world problems (e.g., cigarette smoking, pollution in rivers, air pollution and overfishing) could be improved by presenting information in a similar form. For example, the government could consider increasing the tax per packet of cigarette to reduce smoking. One of the tax options could be a tax increase of a dollar, from $1 per cigarette packet this month to $2 per packet next month. Another option could be a tax increase of $2, from $3 per packet this month to $5 per packet next month. If smokers spend on average a $100 tax buying cigarettes each month, then the first option will reduce their consumption by 50 cigarette packets, while the latter option only by 13 packets. On account of the proportional-thinking heuristic, we expect smokers to also readily prefer the option with a $1 tax increase compared to the $2 tax increase. The end result would be a larger reduction in packets smoked—a desirable outcome. In the real world, it might be very difficult to change existent human behavior and reliance on heuristics [
This research was partially supported by a professional development allowance to Varun Dutt from Indian Institute of Technology, Mandi, India; and, by the National Science Foundation's Human and Social Dynamics: Decision, Risk, and Uncertainty, award number: 0624228, to Cleotilde Gonzalez.

It is common to find that a majority of families with monthly wages or income have such budgetary constraints, which limit their spending on products they could purchase [
The text of these two problems was pretested in an initial pilot study. In the pilot study, 50 participants were presented with the text of the problems and asked to rate whether the text was understandable on a five-point likert scale (non-understandable to completely-understandable). More than 90% of participants of different nationalities felt the problems' text was completely-understandable.
Accumulated CO2 reduction is Budget/Tax rate this month + Budget/Tax rate next month. For example, for a $100 budget, a change from $13/ton to $16/ton leads to 100/13 + 100/16 = 13.9 tons of accumulated CO2 reduction.
The procedure and experimental design in this new study were identical to those reported for the original study. In the new study 155 participants were recruited using Amazon's Mechanical Turk (MTurk). Based on self-reported demographics 55% were males; 50% held graduate degrees and the other 50% held undergraduate and high-school degrees; and 70% had a background in science, technology, engineering, mathematics or medicine (STEM). Ages ranged from 18 to 50 years (M = 19, S.D. = 4). No participant took more than 5 minutes to complete the new study and each participant was paid ¢5.

After last June's EAC discussion and recommendation on the 3 to 4 credit conversion, the President authorized moving forward to gather the information requested in the EAC report. Dr. Pulliams also directed his staff to review the concerns that were expressed by the ad hoc EAC committee to determine if there were any residual issues that needed to be addressed.
The first section contains the responses the President received from his staff regarding the concerns the ad hoc committee found. Even though the committee had addressed these concerns and felt the benefits of the move outweighed any issue below, the President asked for further analysis.
Section I
The concerns and the responses are: (Committee list in italics)
1. Faculty load: faculty underscored our committee's insistence that course load be configured in a manner favorable to faculty.
2. Class size: faculty wanted to be certain class size did not rise with any conversion.
Faculty load and class size: The possibility of moving our general education courses has been discussed for some time among administrators and representatives of the faculty federation. There is general agreement that faculty who are teaching five 3-credit courses as a full load will move to a four 4-credit full load equivalent. Also, the move from three to four credits should have no impact on class size given the reduced demand for sections.
3. Four-hour block courses: faculty expressed a strong desire that there be alternatives to the 4-hour block class (night courses in particular). Other colleges are offering their 4-hour classes in a number of different configurations.
Scheduling: The administration is still in the process of running scheduling models making multiple assumptions about how classes might be divided up. This is not anticipated to be a problem. There will be enough classrooms to accommodate this move. The first step in this process must be a SAC's recommendation on the weekly schedule for each course. Some SACs may find it desirable to offer a course in a four-hour block, others may want two 2-hour sessions, and some may want four one hour sessions. Each SAC should consider the split based on what they believe to be the best leaning environment for students and what works for student access. This is no different than the current scheduling process.
5. Part-time faculty: while there would be fewer courses overall for part-time faculty, the committee (and faculty in general) wanted the union to be aware of any potential inequities in part-time work and compensation. Some committee members, as well as faculty in the SACs and forums, felt that this issue needed further study.
Part time faculty: Our analysis shows that this change will result in the need for fewer sections taught, thus a need for fewer part time faculty. (See the Vergun report). This will slightly change our full-time/part-time faculty ratio slightly in favor of full timers, a goal the college has had for some time. Compensation for part-time faculty for teaching the additional credit is set by the Faculty Contract. In general, it is the administration's opinion that being paid more to teach one course, even with the extra credit, will be received favorably by part-time faculty and may advantage PCC in competing for part-time faculty.
6. Professional/Technical programs: There was universal concern from faculty in the professional-technical programs that a conversion of the transfer courses would affect their programs due to the limited number of courses their students can take. The committee is in the process of learning how other community colleges avoided any negative impact on these programs.
This summer the Degrees and Certificates Committee has met to discuss changes to the general education requirements for all of our degrees, both transfer and professional technical. The charge from the EAC was that the PTE programs specifically not be harmed by this conversion. There was a specific concern for those programs that had national accreditation standards to meet and had little or no room to change their gen ed requirements. The Degrees and Certificates committee will have recommendations to the EAC this September for changes in requirements which, in general, should not disadvantage PTE programs.
7. Reduction in course offerings: faculty on each campus, and in our committee, voiced concern that students would take fewer classes to meet their Gen Ed transfer requirements if we converted to 4-credits, and would therefore be exposed to fewer courses-particularly upper-level electives that faculty believe are essential to PCC's mission to provide a liberal arts foundation for our students. Even though the counter argument can be offered that students would experience greater breadth and depth in those new 4-credit courses, this is one of the most significant drawbacks cited by faculty.
It is recognized that the educational argument about whether more courses/less depth is better than fewer courses/more depth is one that may never be answered. It is a concern among some advisors and faculty that our students have more difficulty with multiple preps and that having fewer courses in any one term might be helpful. This change is at best not a negative and may be a positive.
8. Student cost: Faculty wanted to be certain that a switch to 4-credits did not mean increased costs to students. Although not conclusive, the committee determined the vast majority of our students would not have any cost increase. The students who might be negatively impacted would be the casual students taking one or two classes without accumulating credits for a degree or certificate. The committee decided that this issue needed further study to determine the extent of the negative impact on casual students.
Student cost and financial aid: The impact of this move on students has been our primary concern. Besides the curriculum changes, we examined the potential financial impact of this move on students. For degree and certificate seeking students there will be no increase in total cost. This is because the total credits needed will not change. For non-degree students, there will be the increased cost of one credit per course. In addition, the move to 4-credit courses will not affect a student's financial aid, again because the total number of credits does not change and because at PCC we prorate student aid on the number of credits taken, not the number of courses. For some students who are limited to one, two, or three courses per term, their aid may increase given the additional credits they earn.
Degree and certificate students will also be taking fewer courses to graduate, thus needing fewer textbooks. This will result in a huge savings for students. Also, given that most texts are written for semester-based courses and that with this conversion our courses will be more in line with those courses, our students will be getting more value out of the books they do buy.
9. Summer courses: Some faculty were uncomfortable with the notion of 4-credit courses offered over 8 weeks, but others pointed out that courses can be offered over 11 weeks, and that we currently have 4- and 5-credit math and science courses offered over 8 weeks.
SACs should not feel pressure to offer any course over a time period they believe students will not accomplish the intended outcomes.
10. Students in a sequence: Faculty and students were concerned about what would happen to those students who were in sequences during a conversion. The committee decided to investigate this scenario and see what has happened at other colleges.
We may need to offer "trailers" of 3-credit courses if the need is there for students who are caught in the process of taking a sequence when the conversion takes place. If we let students know well enough in advance, we should be able to minimize the problem. Plus, for students transferring to PSU, there is no need to complete a sequence
11. Mandatory conversion: Faculty were concerned that if the EAC embraced a 4-credit switch it would mean that SACs would be forced to change their courses from 3- to 4-credits.
There might be cases where a PCC 3-credit course does match PSU or most OUS schools and the SAC may wish to not change the course. In such cases the SAC will bring a request not to change to the Curriculum Committee for review and recommendation to the Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs.
12. Scheduling and facilities: There was some worry about whether PCC would have the space to accommodate 4-hour courses, and the committee determined that this wouldn't be an issue due to 1)fewer courses being offered, 2)more classrooms available with the construction expansion, 3)others colleges not experiencing problems with this issue.
The administration agrees with the findings of the committee. It is also important that each campus develop a class time schedule that has as few overlapping courses as possible.
13. Faculty involvement in 4-credit conversion: In the 4-credit committee, the EAC deliberations, as well as the broader faculty discussions, there was very clear consensus that faculty must remain actively involved in the continued process of investigating and implementing a 4-credit conversion.
The conversion process will start with the SACs. They will bring their requests and revisions to a committee of faculty, drawn from the EAC Curriculum Committee, for review and final recommendation. It is also expected that SACs discuss and make recommendations to their deans on what scheduling model would best fit each course. (3½-hour block, two 2-hour classes, four 1-hour classes, etc).
Section II
The EAC also requested that the administration respond to several recommendations before a final recommendation could be made. The questions (in Italics) and the responses follow:
1a. To determine the financial impact of conversion on the college.
Cost of the conversion: It appears from a budget model prepared by Institutional Research that there will no additional cost to the college as a result of this conversion. (See the Vergun report)
2a. To determine the impact on student enrollment and student access (including financial aid), particularly regarding the following student populations: ENL, DE, high-school completion, marginally prepared, evening, part-time degree-seeking, and casual students.
Enrollment: The projection from IR is that there will be a loss of part-time casual students, but the increase in revenue from those who stay will make up for the loss of their tuition. Enrollment for credit students is dependent on the same forces no matter what the course credit may be.
In general the pre college programs are not affected by this move. (ABE/GED, DE, ESL, some ENNL). The transfer courses in ENNL are not three credits. For our high school completion programs, there will be a need to evaluate the new outcomes and content of each course that has been converted and do a cross-walk with the high school equivalents to determine how many high school units each course is worth. This may lead to our courses being more attractive to high school students, thus increasing the enrollment from this group.
3a. To determine the impact on part-time faculty. (See 5 above)
4a. To determine the impact on facilities. (See 12 above)
5a. To begin discussions within the EAC to determine general education and distribution requirements. The 4-credit committee recommends that this process be completed by fall of 2004. (See 6 above)
6a. To begin discussions within the EAC to create an expedited recommendation process for courses affected by this conversion.
The Curriculum Committee has met to discuss such a process and will be bringing a recommendation to the EAC at the September meeting. As part of this recommendation all course changes will be reviewed by the Curriculum Committee. It will be important for the SAC to show what additional content, outcomes, or additional material will be covered in the course to justify the fourth credit hour and how the course now matches with the OUS offerings. Requests not to change a course will also come before the Committee. All final approvals will be made by the Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs.
7a. To begin dialogue with professional-technical programs to ensure that the 4-credit conversion has a minimum negative impact on their programs. (See 6 above)
8a. To retain the 4-Credit Committee to continue its exploration and fact-finding regarding conversion particulars (continuing discussions with PSU, Lane, and Clackamas, for example) to help ease the transition.
The implementation process PCC follows will likely need special direction, but it is yet to be determined what form that may take.
9a. To include the chairs of the EAC and 4-credit committee in the administrative deliberations regarding the possible conversion.
The EAC chair and the chair of the 4-credit committee have been very involved throughout the summer and this fall, working with the president and the Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs in reviewing the EAC recommendation.
10a. To investigate the concern regarding how fewer courses will impact our degrees. (See 7 above)
11a. To determine fair and equitable compensation for faculty who are reconfiguring courses targeted for conversion in the fall of 2005.
It is hoped that most SACs will be able to accomplish this conversion using the two SAC days and combined non-instructional days of their faculty. For those exceptional cases where that is not possible, the SAC may request to implement the changes after the Fall of '05.
12. To receive a strong commitment from the administration that, upon agreement between the EAC and the administration to implement a 4-credit conversion, there will not be a reversal of our decision to move forward. This will help alleviate faculty worries that work begun on converting courses could be scuttled (as occurred a decade ago with semester conversion work).
The administration believes that this conversion is in the best interest of our students and assures the EAC, the faculty and staff, that if recommended, it will be fully implemented as soon as possible.
Section III
Other Concerns on Four Credit Conversion:
Timeline for change: The administration accepts the implementation date of fall of '05 recommended by the EAC. Implementing this change as soon as possible, and on the same date, is in the best interest of our students. It is expected that the process for converting courses will be in place beginning this fall and SACs will be ready to begin work on the change by their inservice day this October. Provision should be made to request an extension for SACs who do not think they can meet this timeline.
Writing: The conversion of our writing 121/122/123 sequence might be a special case. First, given the uniqueness of PSU's lower division writing requirements, it is not possible for PCC to align its program with PSU without a total revamping of our general education requirements. It also will be important for the Comp/Lit SAC to work with other key stakeholders, such as the PTE and DE SACs, as they make their changes. Writing 115 and the connections with Writing 90 are also important in this change. For these reasons alone PCC may want a more in depth review of the complete writing sequence.
Course outcomes and content: In the move to 4-credits, SACs will be asked to ensure there is a good match between PSU and/or other OUS school's course content and learning outcomes and those of our converted courses. Since a primary reason for this move is to facilitate transferability between PCC and the OUS schools, it is imperative that we make this change with the OUS curriculum in mind. It is also important to remember that Oregon Administrative Rules restrict community college transfer course offerings to only those that are offered at a minimum of four OUS universities.
Courses to be changed: Enrollment Services has produced a list of all courses that would need to change to match the OUS catalogs.
Catalog and schedule changes: For converted courses to make the fall schedule, they must have the times submitted by the middle of April. Catalog changes can be submitted by the end of the summer.
More on Sequences: The EAC most likely will examine the sequence requirement for the AAOT this year. The 3 to 4 credit discussion is not dependent on that decision. The conversion will, however, make the sequence requirement more manageable for students, given that most of PSU's sequences are now two, 4-credit courses. If our SACs decide to continue offering a three course sequence, they must make sure there is a corresponding OUS course for that third course. If there is, it might be advantageous for those students who know the discipline they wish to major in.

Quite big, yet cozy place with a large but not that exciting beer list. You will sometimes find beers from Skebo here - which is a plus.

A cozy faux british pub. The tap selection is nice, and there's some good stuff on bottle. Lately, I've seen a lot of Oscar Blues, Stone and Flying Dog here. Food is nice but a bit pricey for what you get. Staff is generally friendly.
madmitch76 (218) , England | May 29, 2013
Visited early Saturday evening. Only about 10 people were here and a good 6 of them (in three seperate pairs) were properly, struggling to stand up, pissed. One guy started trying to chat up every woman that passed by! So not a great ambience here. The tap selection was pretty dull. the bottles a bit better. The guy behind the bar was friendly enough and seemed knowledgeable about the one beer I had here. Overall I just don't get the high marks for this joint. We returned a couple of days later but although nobody was falling over drunk - there was the same subdued atmosphere and the same dull tap list.
rlgk (613) Göteborg, Sweden | May 25, 2013
Quite nice pub, very crowded on an early Friday evening. Decent tapselection with a few nice surprises. Never checked the bottle list. Not the cheapest place in Stockholm.
AndySnow (272) Huddinge , Sweden | November 8, 2012| Updated January 19, 2014
A classical pub with a nice selection of beer. Quite a few on tap and has some nice rarer bottles.

Best pub in the area. Great selection and friendly staff.

Matthews: "Who would win a street fight ... Rudy Giuliani or President Ahmadinejad"
Video ››› ››› RYAN CHIACHIERE
Loading the player reg...
On the May 2 edition of MSNBC's Hardball, host Chris Matthews asked Mike DuHaime, campaign manager for Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani: "Who would win a street fight ... Rudy Giuliani or [Iranian] President [Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad, who would win that fight?" Matthews said that the fight would take place "over in Queens somewhere ... a dark night, it's about 2 in the morning. Two guys are out behind the building, right?" DuHaime responded, "I am putting my money on Rudy on that one." Matthews added, "If [Giuliani] wins that notion, he is the next president."
Although this assertion was conditional upon Giuliani "win[ing] that notion," Matthews has previously touted the viability of Giuliani's candidacy without equivocation. On the July 18, 2006, edition of NBC's The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Matthews predicted that "the next president of the United States will be Rudy Giuliani."
Throughout the interview, Matthews left unchallenged various claims by DuHaime that Giuliani has a "tremendous record" as "somebody who will keep us free from terrorism and safe from terrorism." DuHaime said, in an apparent reference to the September 11, 2001, attacks, that Giuliani "is somebody who has been tested in times of great crisis and obviously come through with flying colors." He also said that Giuliani "has certainly demonstrated an ability to do the job ... in times of terrible crisis."
However, as Media Matters for America has noted, in the book Grand Illusion: The Untold Story of Rudy Giuliani and 9/11 (HarperCollins, 2006) Village Voice senior editor Wayne Barrett and CBSNews.com senior producer Dan Collins cited several of what they presented as Giuliani's terrorism-related failures before, during, and after September 11. Barrett and Collins wrote that when Giuliani heard about the disaster on 9-11, his "original destination" was the "much-ballyhooed command center he had built in the shadow of the Twin Towers," in the 7 World Trade Center (7 WTC) building (Page 6). However, when Giuliani arrived, then-New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik "decided it was too dangerous to bring the mayor up to the command center he had so carefully and expensively built" (Page 340). In settling on the downtown location, Giuliani "overruled" warnings from Howard Safir, a previous police commissioner, and Lou Anemone, chief operating officer of the New York police department, not to put the command center at 7 WTC and rejected "an already secure, technologically advanced city facility across the Brooklyn Bridge" (Page 41). Later on 9-11, the 7 WTC building collapsed.
Although Matthews did not ask about these failures, he is familiar with criticism of Giuliani's role before 9-11 and in response to the attacks. The day before DuHaime's appearance, HBO host Bill Maher told Matthews that "the reason why [Giuliani] was on the streets that day is because his office was blown up," and said, "All of the experts told him to move the command-and-control center out of the World Trade Center. He put it in the World Trade Center." Maher added: "He's not a terrorism fighter. He has no credentials in this. In fact, he failed the one time he had an opportunity, just like [President] Bush."
Matthews is scheduled to host the Republican primary debate on MSNBC on May 3.
From the 7 p.m. ET May 2 edition of MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews:
DUHAIME: He is a tremendous leader, somebody with a tremendous record both as an economic conservative and somebody who will keep us free from terrorism and safe from terrorism. And I think how the debate goes, you will be in more control of that than I will.
MATTHEWS: You're -- well, I don't think I'm in control, because I really do think I can interview the candidates as a group and see whether they go to battle with each other. I'll tell you one thing without getting into specifics, because I want to keep some of this under wraps, but clearly, your guy's the frontrunner, and it must not be a surprise to you that he's taking some incoming these days.
DUHAIME: Well, I think, you know, this is a long campaign, and the American people and Republican primary voters are going to get to see all of the candidates over time. And I'm confident that when they see Mayor Giuliani and his record, they are going to be -- he is going to be a Republican that they are going to be proud to support.
This is somebody who has cut taxes, cut spending, been a true supply-sider as mayor of New York, took one of the -- took a city that many called ungovernable and did a great job cutting crime, getting people off of welfare. And obviously this is somebody who has been tested in times of great crisis and obviously come through with flying colors.
MATTHEWS: Is he going to like it if the other candidates take a shot at him tomorrow night, here?
MATTHEWS: Is he meaner and tougher than the other candidates?
DUHAIME: I do not know about -- you know, I don't want to necessarily compare him to the other candidates, but this is somebody who has certainly demonstrated an ability to do the job and not shrink away in times that are very tough and situations that are tough in places that -- problems that many people see as ungovernable, and certainly in times where his -- certainly in times of terrible crisis. This is somebody who is certainly tough enough to get the job done. I am certain of that.
MATTHEWS: Who would win a street fight? Rudy Giuliani -- just think of a street fight now over in Queens somewhere. It's a dark night, it's about 2 in the morning. Two guys are out behind the building, right? On a vacant lot. Rudy Giuliani or President Ahmadinejad, who would win that fight?
DUHAIME: I am putting my money on Rudy on that one. I think Rudy is the -- I think Rudy will take that fight.
MATTHEWS: If he wins that notion, he's the next president. That's one to look for. Who is tougher than Ahmadinejad? Because he is our biggest worry right now.

Redbank Valley outlasts Kittanning in softball opener
The weather might keep softball teams off the field, but that just leaves extra time for the batting cages.
Lauren Rearick scored on an error in the bottom of the sixth inning, and that was the deciding run for Redbank Valley in a nondistrict win over Kittanning, 11-10, in both teams' season opener Thursday in New Bethlehem.
The Wildcats (0-1) finished with an edge in hits over the Bulldogs, 13-11, but Kittanning was never able to pull ahead after Redbank Valley (1-0) surged into the lead with a nine-run third inning.
"I'm just glad to get the win, because Kittanning has a pretty good program," Redbank Valley coach John Sayers said. "We sometimes hit well in the cage but don't take it to the game. But we thought we could hit. I think our defense will improve, and these two freshmen (pitchers) will get more under their belts. We'll do fine."
Georgie Shoop started off the big hitting day with a solo home run to left field that gave Kittanning a 1-0 lead in the first inning. That score held up until the third, when the Bulldogs caught fire.
Kara Hicks had a leadoff double, and Mackenzie Pence tied the game with an RBI single three batters later. A Kittanning error — one of five in the game — helped prolong the inning, and Redbank Valley's next nine batters reached base with eight singles and a walk to give the Bulldogs a 9-1 lead.
Kittanning battled back in the top of the fourth, when Emily Fries and Jordan Emminger drove in runs. A two-run triple by Terra Schall and an unearned run cut the margin to 9-6.
"Our girls never gave up, and that's a perfect thing for us to see," Kittanning coach Tom Emminger said. "We've been like that for a few years now. When we have a run — or a lot of runs — scored on us, we come back and score on them."
The Wildcats pulled even at 9-9 in the fifth after back-to-back RBI singles by Emminger and Schall, but the lead was short-lived after a sacrifice bunt by Pence set up Megan Bain, who scored from third on another error.
"When you have a big inning, the next inning is when you want to shut the other team down because that's when they're going to respond," Sayers said. "If we could've done that, we could've stopped that cycle (Kittanning) got into."
Kittanning again tied the game on an RBI double by Emily Kutch in the top of the sixth, but Rearick — a courtesy runner after a hit by Darian Gruver — scored the winning run on another Wildcats error.
"It's our first time out. Defensively, I thought we were good, but we could've been a little bit better," Tom Emminger said. "We put nine or 10 good hits out there, but we also hit some line drives that went right at somebody, and sometimes it's going to happen that way."
Kittanning threatened to tie the game again in the seventh, but a diving stop and toss to first by second baseman Pence recorded the final out with two Wildcats on base.
Freshman Macy Shumaker pitched 1 2⁄3 scoreless innings of relief to get the win for the Bulldogs. Freshman starter Alyssa Burkett allowed 10 runs — six earned — in 5 1⁄3 innings. Hicks and Pence each drove in two runs.
Kutch pitched the complete game for Kittanning, and while she took the loss, her ERA was mostly unharmed because only one of her 11 runs allowed was earned.

Say your parents are going to be out of town, leaving you all alone in a great big house. What's a red-blooded American teen to do? Throw a party, of course. And not just any party... a "History Making House Party".
And nothing says history-making like inviting all your Facebook friends (and friends of friends). Or at least that's what 22-year-old Christopher Phalen and 19-year-old Cassandra Phalen thought. But as it turns out, when 46 of their underage friends replied to the Facebook invite that they planned to attend the momentous event, a concerned citizen notified the cops.
Also, the Phalen kids maybe should have left out the part that read: "P.S., don't worry about the cops because I have a police scanner so I will have the heads up if they come." So 30 minutes after it started the party was shut down, which maybe made history afterall.

to do for a Laser
last updated
Here are tips for trailering, buying, and even building a laser trailer. Also tips on avoiding trouble with the boat and trailer.
Trailer Modifications and Homemade Trailers
By Brian McHenry
Howdy Laserites, There seem to be two main issues for trailering: optimal support for the hull, and protection from flying rocks and other debris. Deck up mode has one major advantage--ease of loading/unloading. Two principle ways of supporting the boat in this manner are bunkers under the hull and hanging by the gunwhales. The gunwhale-hung method (e.g. Kitty Hawk & Trailex trailers) seems to be preferred, as this is the strongest part of the hull. If you use bunkers, make sure they are form-fit to the hull shape to spread the load over as wide an area as possible. If your boat is in good shape, and you want to keep it that way, use a hull cover or something to protect it from damage. Hull up mode also has many devotees. They say that the deck is much stronger than the hull, and so the deck should carry the load. There is also a smaller chance of damage from debris, and what occurs will probably be limited to the deck, and will not affect performance much. Disadvantages of this method are more hassle loading/unloading and the possibility that water in the boat will soak into the foam core of the deck (especially if you leave it on the trailer over the winter.) In my opinion, the best way is gunwhale-hung, with hull and deck covers. Currently, my trailer is set up to carry the boat hull up, but I plan to change it this spring. I do a lot of sailing on my own in out of the way places, so I want a system that is easier to use on my own. I have built my own industrial-strength launching dolly, and plan to modify my trailer so that I can drag the boat/dolly combo up onto the trailer piggy-back style. I would also like to get or make covers (maybe a cocoon type thingy that would cover the boat, dolly, and gear on the trailer platform.) Can you tell that I am an engineer/gearhead? :-) Regards, Brian *------------------------------------------------------------------------*

Re: Trailering your Laser
To: email@example.com
by Brent BensonAbout the recent comment about trailer bouncing with light boats onboard: I strongly recommend removing one of the leaves of the spring. Small trailers often have 500-600 lb capacity. With only a 150 lb Laser aboard, the springs are far too stiff. Usually the springs have 3 leaves (some have 2). Unbolt the Ubolt(s) that hold the axle to the spring; unwrap the metal band that holds the leaves together at the end; remove one of the shorter leaves; reassemble the rest. (oops..also remove/replace the bolt in the center) Compare the side you did first to the undone side by standing on the side rail and bouncing. Since you weigh as much as a Laser, and since all of your weight is on one side, the bounce should feel pretty soft to you if it will be right for the Laser. Remove another leaf if necessary. Another tip: reverse the locating bolt in the center of the spring, and put the axle above rather than below the spring. This lowers the trailer by several inches making it easier to rig and launch the boat. There is still enough clearance between the axle and the frame on the trailers that I use. I have done the above changes with good results on several trailers for boats weighing 140 to 300 lbs. The softer ride is vastly better for the boat.

>> I just purchased a trailer and I do not know how to

Even better, if your trailer can handle it, put the boat on the trailer upside down. You reduce the stresses from the trailer on the all important underside, and reduce the chance of rocks chipping the bottom. I do this and I tie my spars to the frame of the trailer before I put the boat on. I would still recommend a bottom cover to protect your hull from the elements. Trailering upside down does prevent you from launching your boat directly from the trailer, though.
Good luck,

I have an older hull and have been trailering on a standard 12' trailer with carpeted bunks running longitudinally. I place thick slabs of foam between the hull (right side up, by the way) and the bunks which distributes pressure somewhat from the bunks, and provides an adhesive, cushioned and stable seating for the hull. While travelling i strap the hull down tight and release the straps asap. This arrangement allows for easy single handed launch (including rigging the boat on the trailer which is a big plus) and haulout which is my key criteria at this point.
I certainly would *not* use this approach with a newer boat, or an otherwise fine racing hull due to the obvious stresses on those delicate regions of the wetted surface.

A hull cover is a good bet if you are going to trailer your boat: it prevents
scratches on the boat from stones throwed by the car rear wheels.

At the 1993 nationals, I saw a great trailer idea... it was just a small trailer on the bottom, with an a-frame on top. they stored one laser on the trailer, and two against the sides of the a-frame. now, this makes me wonder if it's okay to trail lasers on their sides like that, with the weight of the boat being held by one gunwale...? -mark
This is a great idea! I think the lasers would be ok. Lasers are quite strong
at the gunwales. Many people (myself included) store the laser on its side when
space is tight without trouble. BTW, I've seen two lasers carried on their sides
on San Diego YC's behemothic laser trailer (seven lasers!). I'd just make sure
the load is spread out a bit...

Suggest using square section galvanised steel, approx 40mm by 40mm by 2.5mm, use the size the fence builders use in your country as the volume they use drives the price down. In Australia I can buy enough steel of the above size to build a trailer and dolly framework for $50AUD. Decide if you want the dolly to piggy back on the trailer now and build the two together. Ensure you use a spray cold galvaniser on the welds. As far as wheels go try and use the same pattern as the car you drive so you only have to carry one spare but if you have a rare type car this will cost an arm and a leg so pick a common type and definitely purchase a spare. When you purchase your wheel bearings buy an extra set so your sure they fit if they seize on the highway.
Suggest checking out some local trailers and amalgamating the best ideas,
Good luck
The best "quick and dirty" method I've seen is to some of those tubes of open cell foam, such as pool toys, that will cushion the two boats. Then stack one on top of the other upside down. I've also seen carpet cover 2x4's used between the boats. You need something at the maststep, the forward edge of the cockpit and either at the transom or the aft edge of the cockpit. These are the strongest parts of the boat and least likely to be deformed by another boat resting on them.
Good Luck,
by Malcolm Osborne
The '93 version of the Laser Handbook recommends: `A good Laser trailer should have contour cradles for the boat to snugly fit into' ( the '96 version has omitted this Boatcare section ) In this case, the forward cradle should be below the mast step and the aft one under the rear of the cockpit. I would think that gunwale supporting a Laser for travelling would run the risk of hull/deck separation strain from the vibrations (unless you have an active suspension system on your trailer :-) )
Three point launching dollies are common for Lasers - is this what you are referring to ? From one I built, I seem to recall a figure of 2.7m (8.9') from the front of the boat to the aft support struts (measuring along the sides of an A frame).
Malcolm Osborne (L160100)
I created my own trailer design to hold two lasers with the Seitech dolly with
on the boat with out taking the tires off the boat. I started with a 18'
galvanized trailer and cut the tongue down by 3'. Starting with the larger
trailer gives you a wider wheel base which is a plus, in addition the square
part of the trailer is much bigger. I bought my trailer used and saved a bundle.
Most newspapers have used trailers with the boating adds. I replaced the leaf
springs with 800lb springs and even these are a little heavy. I had a welder put
a rack on the trailer out of steel box tubing, I will email the dimensions when
I find them. I think this design is better than a frame since I can put one or
two boats on the trailer at once and in if you do not put the bottom boat on you
can sling one boat under the top boat and take three boats. I can go down the
road at 70mph with no problem. I did two smart things:

by Bill Betts
I fastened a frame made from pressure-treated 2x4's onto the trailer (like a cradle) to carry one boat deck-side down. Then I added 2 removable bridge-like supports for the 2nd boat, also 2x4 and 1x6 pressure-treated -- also deck-side down. The 2 bridge supports just fit into slots in the lower bunk. Padded and carpeted everything that touches the boats. That way, it can "convert" easily from carrying 1 to 2 boats, plus the lower boat is easy to get off (just lift off the bridges). It looks precarious, but it's really worked well. Oh, I also turned the winch arm upside down and raised it to be even with the upper boat's bow, for support there. (Sounds more complicated than it is).
Multi-Boat Trailer (Rack Style)
by Ericka Amon
Well- I have a three boat trailer. Looking at mine- it doesn't have any welding on it! It is Metel rods- STRONG. Each joint on rack- is joined with a cotter pin.. Actually- it's not a cotter pin- but one to keep the two supports together... The part that the boat is resting on, is a wooden rest- covered in carpet to fit the deck. Anyway- the way the trailer is set up- you can take a rack off the trailer when not in use-or two- whatever. It's a really compatible trailer. I'm thinking of getting rid of the bottom rack- and putting a storage box- for sails and boards there....

We manufacture "Dink Blocks" custom formed blocks so you can stack 2 boats without having to do any custom fabricating on your trailer. Typically bottom boat up top boat down. Set of blocks is approx $80.Contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com 516 264-0005 334 S. Bayview Ave Amityville NY on the Great South Bay.
We have a trailer made by Marine Cradle in Toronto, Ontario, and sold by Fogh Marine in Toronto. Carrying a single laser, it was easy to load and unload. It carried the laser well. One disadvantage--I couldn't see the trailer with boat behind the van I had at the time.
We bought a second laser, and had the trailer modified by Marine Cradle. Each boat is stored deck-up and supported under the gunwales. Yokes support the weight. There is an extension for the upper boat, and a standard bow gunwale yoke. Near the axle of the trailer there is a rectangular frame made of square section tubing. It supports the after gunwale yokes. It is very rigid. And I can see the rig behind the car I have now; the trailer bounces less. I suspect there is more load on the springs.
Dave Lynch
The hot setup is to have your dolly fit onto the top of your trailer. Then you
can launch the boat across the beach, lawn or dock and never have to get your
trailer into the water (salt water in my case). My trailer is a converted Home
Depot utility type ($175) and I've added chocks to hold the dolly on top of the
trailer and under the boat. A simple support to hold the Laser above the dolly
(takes the load off the dolly) during long road trips. The added advantage with
the support system is you can haul the boat on the trailer with out having to
have the dolly under it. This helps when you stack two boats on the trailer and
need the dolly for the first boat you unload. All this sounds a bit weird but it
works really great, at regattas you just slide the boat and dolly right off the
trailer as a unit. When you get home you just leave it all together. The
supports from the trailer to the boat are just some 3/4 " plywood 4"
wide and just tall enough to be slightly higher than the dolly supports when the
dolly is on the trailer also. There are 2 supports about 4" aft of the bow
one on each side just under the gunnel running down to the front of the trailer
and 2 supports aft under the gunnels about even with the back of the cockpit. On
my trailer the aft supports hinge out of the way so the boat and dolly will be
free to roll off but you could make them removable. All the plywood supports
have a bit of carpet on top to protect the boat. I use a Seitech dolly (a great
piece of gear) and the pull handle fits just in front of the trailer bow
supports so it's locked in place. All you have to do is lift up the handle and
push the dolly and boat back off the trailer and you're rolling!
Trailer Recommendation Summary
Looking over the responses, it seemed like the Calkins Z-14 was the best choice for me. I bought one today for $350, and will try to put it together tomorrow. I'll let you know how it worked out...
Laser Trailer Recommendations Summary:
--- Calkins Z-14 (500)
"The Calkins is a standard small trailer, designed to carry boats up to 500 lbs"
"The advantages of the Calkins is that it is a good trailer/$, relatively well constructed, and should last well."
"The Calkins Z-14-500 trailer is a good low price alternative ($400-$450) to the Kitty Hawk style (gunwale support) trailer ($500-$600), and a lot more durable. You can easily make wood and carpet cradles that 1.) span the rear bunks and 2.) replace the roller in the middle of the trailer, or make a U-shaped rod that replaces the front roller and fits the gunwale on the bow similar to the Kitty Hawk."
"The disadvantage is that it is not designed for the Laser, it does not support it under the rails, and it weighs about 165 lbs, making it heavy to use as a dolly. A couple of local Laser sailors modified it for Laser use (it cost them about $200) and they ended up with a very solid trailer. It can easily support the weight of 2 or 3 Lasers."
--- Kitty Hawk
"There is one made for Lasers called a Kitty hawk that looks nice. Holds the boat under the rail so that nothing touches the hull or the deck."
"For a trailer to be used only for a Laser, I too would take a look at the Kitty Hawk: light, easy to use as a dolly, well designed for the Laser. I own a Calkins (originally purchased for another boat) and would probably buy a Kitty Hawk trailer if I was buying one for a Laser."
"I just got a Kitty Hawk. Looks like a great trailer but it has not left the driveway yet.... I had a choice between driving to N. Carolina (I'm in Kentucky) and picking it up (I assumed assembled) or having it shipped by truck ($50 shipping). It took almost six hours to put together, so if you are near Charlotte NC or can get a dealer to put it together for you, I'd recommend that you let someone else to do the assembly....."
"The kit was missing one bolt which I had to purchase at the local hardware store for $0.20 - not a big deal...."
--- Trailex
"A friend just bought a Trailex. This one is designed for a Laser, but neither he, or I, is impressed. The frame is not very rigid and the trailer is too wide to be used as a dolly at some of the local launch areas. The width also makes it more difficult for 2 people to lift the Laser on and off the trailer (the wheels get in the way ... ) But it is light, and does support the hull under the rails."
Thanks to:
To: firstname.lastname@example.com
Two Lasers on a Gunwhale Support Trailer
You should be able to sandwich two lasers on a Trailex trailer or other gunwale support trailer. The maximum load capacity on the trailer says 250 so assuming two with rigging weigh 130+ without rigging (hull only) they might be 120 or less. So you should be able to put to hulls together with out much trouble but don't have anything else on the trailer and stay under 65.

Question by Danny Sogar: Is old foreign money from WWII worth anything much in the U.S.?
I have a lot of really old Japanese, Chinese, I think Arabic, and other foreign (paper) money from WWII dating as far back as 1918. Is it worth much? If so, where would I go to trade it in?
Best answer:
Answer by Scott Stevenson
The value of any old currency to a collector is going to depend on exactly what it is, and what condition it's in. Some of it can be quite valuable, while other pieces might end up being worth less than a dollar.
Most of the countries you mention have changed their monetary systems since WWII, so their old currency is generally not convertible to dollars at a currency exchange. If you want to dispose of it, you could put it up on e-bay, or you could take it to a coin dealer, and see what he or she offers you for it.
What do you think? Answer below!

Who Can Borrow?
The technology checkout program is available to currently registered undergraduate and graduate students. In order to check out a laptop or iPad during the Summer or Winter sessions, you must be registered to take classes during those sessions. This means that if you are enrolled for Fall semester classes and want to check out a laptop or iPad in mid-July, you cannot do so.
How Can I Borrow?
Students must fill out a Master Rental Agreement (MRA) once per fiscal year. The MRA covers things like fees for lost and broken laptops and iPads. Once a student has filled out the MRA, he or she must wait for approximately 24 hours before checking out a laptop or iPad. This wait period is in place due to the time it takes to verify that the student is currently enrolled and to enter their information into the program's checkout system.
Laptop loans are for 1 week (7 days). There is a 1 day lapse between loan periods to ensure that all students have access to laptops and iPads. This means that if you have just returned a laptop or iPad, you will not be able to check out another one until 24 hours have passed.
For more information, please stop by the Technology Checkout Program Office, LIB SOUTH 3941, between 9:00AM and 9:00PM Monday through Thursday or between 9:00AM and 5:00PM on Friday, or call (310) 243-2173.
