Herman Schwartz is a professor in the Washington College of Law at American University, Washington, D.C. Throughout a long career in academia, publishing and community service, he has focused his attention and the world's on issues of civil rights and civil liberties as they have played out in courts and prisons across the globe. He has worked with the United Nations, the human rights advocacy group Helsinki Watch, the U.S./Israel Civil Liberties Law Program (which he founded), the ACLU Prison Project (which he founded), Washington College of Law's Human Rights Center and other organizations. In May 2006 he was awarded the 2006 Champion of Justice Award by the Alliance for Justice.
Schwartz's special interest in recent years has been the emerging democracies of Eastern Europe. He has served as an adviser to numerous Central and Eastern European nations, as well as former Soviet Union nations, on constitutional and human rights reform; recently he has been called up on to comment and advise on constitutional reform in Afghanistan, Iraq and several African countries. He also co-chaired a project on transitional justice in emerging democracies. He is currently a member of the Executive Committee of the Board of the Open Society Institute Justice Initiative.
Current work includes hunger issues and particularly the expansion of programs for school children during the summer. Schwartz formerly chaired the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty, and has developed a course in which students work with national and local public interest organizations that deal with poverty issues. He also is continuing to pursue a lifelong interest in the operations of America's courts, and frequently is called upon to analyze and write about Supreme Court decisions. He has published Right Wing Justice: The Conservative Campaign to Take Over the Courts (May 2004), a study of the judgeship controversies since Ronald Reagan.
From 1963 to 1976, Schwartz was heavily involved in studying and monitoring New York State's criminal justice system. During the tragic inmate uprising at Attica State Prison in 1971, he served as the first intermediary between the prisoners and the prison administration, and represented numerous prisoners thereafter, founded the ACLU Prison Project and argued two cases in the Supreme Court relating to prisoners rights. Throughout the 1960's and 1970's, he was active in civil rights and civil liberties litigation and advocacy, serving as chief counsel in school desegregation cases in the North and the South. He was also the ACLU expert on the law and policy of electronic surveillance and the author of numerous studies of the operation of the wiretap laws.
Schwartz has authored three books: Right-Wing Justice: The Conservative Campaign to Take over the Courts (May 2004), The Struggle for Constitutional Justice in Post-Communist Europe (2000) and Packing the Courts: The Conservative Campaign to Rewrite the Constitution (1988); edited and contributed to The Rehnquist Court: Judicial Activism on the Right (2002), and The Burger Years Rights and Wrongs in the Supreme Court 1969-1986 (1987). He has written numerous reports, articles, chapters and scholarly papers.
His work on the frontiers of civil rights and civil liberties has been recognized with such honors as the 2006 "Champion of Justice" award from the Alliance for Justice, a Citation of Appreciation by the Common Council of the City of Buffalo, an American Jewish Congress - Washington Capital area award, the William Conable Award for Civil Rights, the Citizens Counsel for Human Rights Award and The ACLU-Niagara Frontier Award for Civil Liberties.
His undergraduate degree is from Harvard University, magna cum laude, and his Juris Doctor degree from Harvard Law School, magna cum laude. For most of his professional career he has been a professor of law. He has also served in state and federal government, including service as Chief Counsel of the Senate Antitrust Subcommittee, and Chief Counsel for Revenue Sharing, U.S. Treasury.

AND below we have your original statement which shows I can read just fine.your reading comprehension skills really blow. i'm not saying that at ALL.
You can say you're not a relenishment apologist, but what you say after that completely contradicts that.but half a decade is an eye blink or less on a geological time scale & i'm certainly NOT a replenishment apologist. i just don't think it's worth the hand-wringing & caterwauling that a lot of people do over it. it's not like we're burying killer dana beneath a breakwater or something.
Nothing wrong with my reading comprehension skills. Where in this statement did you simply say it was pointless to complain AFTER and the proper time to complain was before? That is not what you said. Nothing wrong with my comprehension. You basically say people shouldn't bother complaining and it's not a big deal. It IS a big deal Yes moaning after the fact is useless FOR THAT SPECIFIC BREAK, BUT it does bring attention to what it can do your break and brings awareness to people so they can stop the next one. So in fact it serves a purpose complaining about a break that has recently been replenished. The key is to adjust future replenishments. You need to do that during the comment period.

|The 'Bombe'. This machine killed fascists.
But I've signed this one and I hope you do the same. A few weeks ago, £millions was spent celebrating the (whatever colour it was) Jubilee. Today, the centenary of fascism's greatest nemesis will go largely unmarked.
They also serve who smile and wave, I suppose, but our country's shame at the treatment of this man is only matched by our failure to properly recognise the enormity of his contribution - both to the war effort and to our wider economy and culture.
I'll be getting a nice cake in to share with the kids. They need to know about this.

Monuments Man Langdon Warner
Langdon Warner served as an expert consultant to the Arts and Monuments Section, G.H.Q. of the Supreme Commander, Allied Powers of Japan from April to September of 1946. During World War II, he appealed to the Roberts Commission for the protection of the former Japanese capitals of Nara and Kyoto during bombings of the country. The cultural heritage of these two shrine cities was preserved due to Warner's tremendous influence. While his modesty prevented him from accepting personal responsibility for saving the historic sites, after his death the Japanese people felt it necessary to honor him. For his service to Japan, he was posthumously awarded the Order of the Sacred Treasures. The citizens of Kyoto also built a memorial shrine in his honor, and those of Nara placed a tablet in the Buddhist Horyuji Temple.
In civilian life, Warner was an exemplary archaeologist and scholar of Asian art. Having been graduated from Harvard University in 1903, he made his first trip to Asia the following year as part of the Pumpelly-Carnegie Expedition to Russian Turkestan. Warner went on to work as an Associate Curator at the Boston Museum of Art from 1906 to 1913, and as Director of the American School of Archaeology in Peking for the following four years. From 1917 to 1923 he was Director of the Pennsylvania Museum of Art, then returned to his alma mater when he was named a field fellow, and later Curator of Oriental Art, at Harvard's Fogg Museum. Warner led the First and Second Expeditions to China in 1923 and 1925 for the Fogg, in 1925 worked as a field agent for the Cleveland Museum of Art, and also acquired artworks for the Nelson Gallery of Art in the 1930s.
Warner was described by John Rosenfeld, Professor Emeritus of East Asian Art at Harvard, as "the United States' first full-time teacher of Asian art, universally recognized as a voice of reason and compassion." He taught many notable Asian scholars, including fellow Monuments Man Laurence Sickman, Director of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. Although he was a museum man for many decades, Warner's true passion was in the field, where he worked as an explorer, archaeologist, and collector of Asian art. It has even been said that he is the inspiration for the character of Indiana Jones. Warner was also the author of many books on Asian culture, including The Enduring Art of Japan and Japanese Sculpture of the Tempyo Period: Masterpieces of the Eighth Century. Following his death in 1955 at the age of 73, Mr. Bernard Leach perhaps best explained his calling when he wrote that "Langdon Warner was more than an expert archaeologist or explorer; he takes a place among the small band of interpreters of Far Eastern wisdom and beauty."

Email Server Settings FAQs (IMAP / SMTP)
Last Updated: Mon, 09 May 2016 > Related Articles
View common questions relating to email server settings.
IMAP FAQs
IMAP stands for Internet Message Access Protocol. It is an Internet standard language used to receive email. Unlike the most common Internet standard for receiving mail, Post Office Protocol (POP), IMAP is designed to leave a copy of email messages on the server. This allows email messages to be viewed and managed on multiple devices (i.e. laptop, desktop, mobile phone, etc). Secure IMAP simply requires the use of a more secure connection between the device/software and the mail server to enhance security.
No. Secure IMAP is only for email messages.
Secure IMAP allows you to access email from whatever device you want and from remote locations.
- Incoming Mail Server: imap.coxmail.com, Port 993
- Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.coxmail.com, Port 465
No, customers can continue to use POP for receiving mail.
Note: Cox Business does not provide support for these devices. The IMAP settings information provided is for reference only. For additional information on setting up these devices, visit the manufacturer's websites.
SMTP FAQs
SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. It is an Internet standard language used to send email. SMTP Authentication requires that a user provides a valid username and password to authenticate before the user is allowed to send email.
SMTP Authentication helps to minimize issues sending email using email clients (i.e. Microsoft Outlook) on networks other than Cox. For example, using your laptop in a coffee shop. It helps to ensure email sent from the Cox network is from legitimate customers and not spammers, therefore reducing SPAM.
It is recommended you use SMTP Authentication to send email for the reasons stated above.
Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.coxmail.com, Port 465
You must authenticate with your full email@example.com and email password
Domain Name email allows you to access your email using a specific domain name (email@example.com) instead of using firstname.lastname@example.com for example. This allows you to brand your email address with your business. With Cox Business Email, you can have at least 10 @coxbusiness.com mail boxes or 10 @yourcompany.com domain name email boxes at no extra charge.

Will the rise of higher education in the US and elsewhere be curtailed by the expansion of Massive Open Online Courses (Moocs) that allow people to study digitally rather than attend lectures and classes? Some surprising people think so.
One of them is Rafael Reif, president of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He told a panel in Davos organised by the Victor Pinchuk Foundation, that he didn't think institutions such as MIT could keep charging $40,000 a year for tuition in the digital world. Read more

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 18/2/2013 (1643 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
There was one good sign for the Winnipeg Jets today as they contemplated a wasted week at home — three straight losses — ahead of a five-game road trip that starts Tuesday night in Buffalo (6 p.m. CT, TSNJets, TSN1290).
They have a new morale officer, Blake Wheeler, and he was pushing hard this morning on a positive, encouraging outlook despite the team's 5-8-1 record through 14 games.
"It's not that we're not trying or (don't) want to get the job done," Wheeler told reporters after this morning's pre-trip practice at the MTS Centre. "I think we're just suffocating ourselves with all the expectations and not getting the job done.
"At some point you've got to say, 'Screw it,' and forget all that, that outside influence and the stuff that we feel from the inside as well and just go out there and play the game because we're a good enough team to win games. We've shown it.
"The difference is, I think, that we're overthinking it right now."
Ignoring one empty-net goal, the Jets have played six straight one-goal games. They're 2-4-0 in that stretch but have lost three in a row.
Wheeler, for his part, is without a goal in five games. But he said even in the wake of another disappointing loss, 3-2 to Boston on Sunday, there was no point having a long face either during practice or after it today.
"That's what I'm getting back to," he said. "You go out there with a grimace on your face every day and you hate your life, stuff like that, nothing's going to change no matter how bad you want to go out there and win games and get the job done, you can't do it. This is too tough a business, too tough a game, to not go out there to try to enjoy it.
"When you're out there enjoying yourself, things just happen. You don't think, you're just reacting and that's when you play your best hockey.
"I think we've got to get some of that back into our room.
"Certainly that comes with winning but at the same time, you've got to start somewhere. We're at that point where you just can't come in here and be stone-faced every day and say, 'We're going to go out there and outwork the other team and be serious about this.' You just can't do it that way.
"You've got to go out there and enjoy what you're doing and the rest will take care of itself."

VALDOSTA, Ga. – After what began as a grueling pitcher's duel, the Saint Leo softball team (40-15) fell to the University of Tampa Spartans in the first game of the NCAA South Region tournament by an 8-0 run-rule in six innings. The loss automatically sent the Saint Leo softball team to the losers' bracket of the double-elimination tournament.
Freshman Alana Tabel took the mound in the contest, tossing 5.1 innings before senior pitcher Megan Still came in for relief. The pair gave up nine hits and just two walks in the effort.
With no action coming in the first two innings, the Spartans were the first to jump on the scoreboard in the bottom of the third. After a quick single from Tampa's Brie Walton, an error on a bunt allowed Walton to score and give the Spartans a 1-0 lead.
The Lions bounced back, however, threatening in multiple innings and allowing no more runs until the sixth.
Despite the Lions' efforts, the Spartans' bats broke loose in the bottom of the sixth inning, and Tampa was able to score seven runs on five hits, one walk, and one Saint Leo error. The defining hit of the game was a grand-slam walk-off from the Spartans' first baseman, Meagan Burke, which scored the final four runs of the game.
The 8-0 loss is the first run-rule that the Lions have suffered during the 2013 season.
Saint Leo will play the loser of the Albany State/Valdosta State contest that takes place this evening. Regardless of the opponent, the Lions will play tomorrow afternoon at 12 p.m.

I have no idea if the chickens themselves were Italian, though.
Awhile back the local Piggly Wiggly was clearancing some chicken sausage products for .99/package so I grabbed a couple. I've cooked Gerber whole chickens and parts but never sausage.
The links looked sausage-y enough, although a bit pale.
I wanted to be sure it was thoroughly cooked so I used a cooler fire than I would've for pork sausages in an attempt to keep them from getting too dry.
They were a little bit dry but adding mustard took care of that, and the flavor was actually pretty good. If I was paying full price I'd probably stick to traditional sausages but for what I paid for these I was happy with the results.

The first of 80 new District Line trains have arrived at the Wimbledon to Edgware Road branch.
Commuters to central London will have seen the new look trains on the Circle Line last year, which are air-conditioned and have walk-through carriages, similar to the Docklands Light Railway.
They also have wider doors and walkways, lower passenger alarms and a smaller gap between the train and platform.
All 80 new trains should be in place by 2016, after five extra trains were introduced on the Wimbledon-Edgware Road branch in 2012 when TfL reduced the Olympia-Earls Court service.
The new trains were due to arrive in 2013 and a signalling upgrade should be in place by 2018.
The money for the District Line improvements was pledged in 2002 by Metronet, who told commuters they would have to wait 16 years for improvements to what they admitted was an under-funded tube line.
Have you used the new train? What do you think of it? Leave a comment below, email firstname.lastname@example.com or tweet @OmarOakes - or take part in our poll...

Nuance Dialog Modules are prepackaged, reusable, highly configurable VoiceXML speech application building blocks which feature the built-in experience of our Professional Services team. Advanced Dialog Modules use multiple steps and sophisticated techniques to complete more complicated collection tasks such as a full name or email address. The modules are licensed separately.
Recognizing alphanumeric strings is a challenge, since so many letters and numbers sound alike. This module uses dialog techniques such as chunking, correction and realignment to break the collection task down into smaller steps.
Email addresses are a more specific spelling challenge. If this module doesn't recognize the email address in one try, it separates the task into information before and after the at-sign, using techniques from the spelling dialog module.
Using a database of one million names from census data and other sources, this module collects first and last names independently. It can also allow the caller to spell their name to improve your success rate. Available for select countries.
Using an address database, this module collects city/state, postal code, and street address information. It understands alphanumeric apartment numbers such as 32-B. You can also subscribe to receive monthly updates. Available for select countries.

Quote:I thought fighter of the night was Tyson Griffin. His match was amazing- exciting and technical, what its all about
Quote:Lutter didn't make weight and he looked defeated when he came to the ring and when he fought. He did give it a go but had nothing in way of strength after losing over 20 lbs. I now believe that Silva can be beaten by a good ground fighter.
Quote:I have MAJOR respect for Eddie Sanchez for the performance he put up against Mirko - he tried an offensive, kept in there as long as he could (I actually thought the stoppage was at a stupid time, he wasn't being hit right then, about 5 seconds earlier it looked bad, but he was working for the same reversal Anderson pulled off on Travis) took a lot of what Mirko had to offer and fought back even though he was backpedaling for a lot of the fight.
Quote:The fight was stopped at the right time,
Quote:No it wasn't, he wasn't getting hit at the time of the stoppage and for several seconds before it, plus he was working for a reversal at that moment.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 10/4/2013 (1592 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: My ignorant husband checks out the booty of every good-looking woman he sees when we are out at Safeway, our only social outings together. He does this because he hates leaving his couch in the locked study with his TV, games and porn, and he knows how much this hurts and upsets me. After a trip to the mall, I will leave him alone for the next week or so. I realize he has manipulated me into being a "single" mother under his roof, but what can I do? The problem is I need him. We have five kids together and he brings home good money. He also loves the kids and is quite willing to take them to their sports. He just doesn't want to go out with me anywhere. OK, I will admit I gained about 15 to 20 pounds with each kid and weigh upwards of 250 pounds and I'm not that tall. But it can't be that. I wasn't skinny when I met him. Do you think he's ashamed of me? -- Defeated Wife and Mother, Winnipeg
Dear Defeated: The only person you can change is you, so let's start with your side of the marriage problems -- you feel loneliness, isolation, disrespect, and loss of romance with your husband. Plus, you're 100 pounds overweight and in line for an early heart attack. The weight is one of two big things you can control right now, so do it for your kids -- they need their mom. Make a reasonable 150 your goal and don't go it alone. Consider a program like Weight Watchers with its sensible eating programs and sympathetic supporting groups. Secondly, stop asking your husband to go to anywhere with you. Get groceries delivered to your door, and eliminate the rubbernecking punishment he metes out. Just sit back and enjoy the money he brings in for you and the kids, and consciously expand your friendships to include buddies for walking, seeing movies and shopping. Your friends don't all have to be women. (I'm not suggesting you cheat.) Your husband will notice after seeing six weeks of steady weight loss and your new social independence that his power is gone, and his wife is drifting. He will complain, but don't change back. When he sees you continue, he will become worried. That's when you finally have the upper hand and the leverage to get him into marriage counselling and perhaps help for his screens addiction.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I have a man down at the lake. He lives there year round. We only get to see each other a little bit during the winter when he comes in for business meetings. This has been a long, cold winter. It broke the back of my lousy marriage last week. My husband has moved out. The problem is the guy at the lake is married. Will I lose him, now I am free to be with him and he feels pressure? -- Worried Sick About This, Winnipeg
Dear Worried: If two married people are cheating together, it generally works better than one married and one single person. In this case, you as the newly separated person, may get a lot of trouble from your ex, or unexpected promises to make big changes. Your married lover at the lake may have felt comfortable having his wife as friend/co-parent and you as the clandestine lover. Do you really want him to leave his wife? If so, you might as well ask now if he has any intentions of doing that. Before you do that, think about what you'll do if he says "Yes, I'll leave her." You may be surprised at your own reaction.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – High school basketball standouts Jaylon Bell and Stephane Beneche have both signed National Letters of Intent to join the Saint Leo University men's basketball program beginning with the 2012-13 season, Head Coach Lance Randall announced earlier this week. The additions of Bell and Beneche join that of incoming player Trey Griseck, who committed to the Lions in November.
Jaylon Bell
5-11 | 160 lbs.
Winter Garden, Fla. | West Orange HS
Bell comes to Saint Leo from West Orange High School in Winter Garden, Fla. where he averaged 17 points and eight assists per game in leading the Warriors to a 23-8 overall record and an 8A District Championship. Named as a member of the Fourth-Team All Central Florida Boys Basketball Team, he was also a First-Team All-Conference Selection on an All-Conference team littered with Division I signees. Coming into Saint Leo as a performer in the classroom with a 3.6 GPA, Bell was also a Florida Association of Basketball Coaches All-Star selection and an All-State selection on the Florida Athletic Coaches Association Boys Basketball Team.
Coach Randall's Thoughts –
"Jaylon is an excellent guard with an innate ability to get to the rim. He is a very smart, tough player from a great family and has a chance to impact our program immediately."
Stephane Beneche
6-10 | 200 lbs.
Wellington, Fla. | Wellington HS
Averaging 15 points and nine rebounds per game, the 6'10" presence of Beneche allowed him to lead Palm Beach County in blocks as he averaged five rejections per contest. The Palm Beach County All-Star selection and the game's MVP posted 10 games where he had at least six blocks and notched 10 or more rebounds in at least 15 games this season. A Second-Team All-Area selection, Beneche was also extremely accurate with the ball, making 61 percent of his shots, a stat which helped the all-around player earn a spot in the Florida All-Star Basketball Classic. He made a memorable impression on many his senior season with a triple-double performance against archrival Palm Beach Central, posting 19 points, 10 rebounds and 10 blocks in a 53-39 win.
Coach Randall's Thoughts –
"Stephane has great length and has been a superb shot-blocker throughout his high school career. He has shown tremendous potential to score in a variety of ways. He is another smart kid from a great family and we are looking forward to working with Stephane over the next four years."
The twin additions come after Randall announced the signing of Olympia High School (Fla.) standout basketball guard Trey Griseck in November. Griseck helped Olympia to a 22-9 record his senior season as he shot over 40 percent from behind the 3-point arc and posted close to a 2:1 assist-to-turnover ratio on the nationally-ranked squad. The 6'4" guard also considered Rollins and Eckerd of the Sunshine State Conference, along with multiple Division I offers, including those from Kennesaw State, Liberty and Campbell.
The trio of new Lions will join the Saint Leo community when they begin classes in August.

first time poster. here is my extensive photo album from the family trip to Austin in April
this is from our first night. we had a quick dinner at Ironworks downtown. this is the wife's plate. Despite me telling her that Texas is beef country, she insisted on getting pork ribs wherever we went. these were pretty good.
this was my plate. Only beef ribs i had on the trip. excellent. Brisket was good but a hair dry.
Salt Lick. Not bad. not a huge fan of the pre-smothered sauce. good brisket. So-so ribs. I did buy some rub on the way out.
Kruezs in Lockhart. If you're looking for a front porch sofa, this is your town. otherwise, BBQ is the name of the game in Lockhart. We went to Black's first (not pictured). Great brisket. Ribs were tough. Kreuzs was the hands-down winner. No Sauce (the way i like it) brisket was moist. ribs were very tender.
couple of items:
every place served spareribs, no babybacks or even St. Louis cuts. i never thought about this until i started reading about BBQ and i guess just about every place i've been to serves spare ribs. no place seems to strip off the underside membrane.
also, when i asked how long each of these places smoked their briskets, the answered ranged from 6 to 24 hours. saltlick cooks their brisket at 375 degrees.
with practice, i think i could get my brisket and ribs to a quality as good (or even better) than some of these places. I think one missing element is the actual smoker grill and oven itself. i don't even own a smoker yet, but these places have been using the same oven and grills for decades. I imagine they're never cold either.

In honour of the airing in the US on Sunday of the final episode of Breaking Bad, the hit television drama that lifts the lid on the dark world of crystal meth, here are five things worth knowing (and dropping at your next dinner party) regarding the global trade of the illicit drug. (With a deep bow to Wonkblog, the New Yorker, and Slate, all of which have done extensive plot analyses)
1. North America dominates the world of methamphetamine. And those Mexican cartels are indeed hard at work.
According to the UN Office of Drug Control's 2013 World Drug Report, North America accounted for 54 of the 88 tons of methamphetamine seized worldwide in 2011, the latest figures available. Leading the pack in North America was Mexico, where the cartels have turned mass producing crystal meth into a fine art. Read more

The Stourbridge Road post office will close in February for twelve days for the extensive refurbishment of the branch which will create "a modern retail environment."
Opening hours will be extended with the post office opening at 8.45am instead of 9am and it will now be open for business on Saturday afternoons.
Post Office area manager Mark Jacobs welcomed the investment and modernisation for the branch.
He said: "We understand how important the Post Office is to residents around Hawne and we are confident that this new modern Post Office service will meet the needs of the local community and secure services for the future."
He added: "This modernisation is part of a three-year investment programme, the largest in the history of the Post Office, that will see around half of the Post Office network converting to new-style branches and marks a commitment to no more branch closure programmes."
Customers will also be able take advantages of new services being available including car tax discs and there will be three screened serving positions to cater for more custom.
Hawne Post Office will be closed for refurbishment from 12:30pm on Saturday, 8 and will reopen from 1pm on Thursday, February 20.
during the closure.

The Post Office is now independent of Royal Mail and is the largest retail network in the UK, with over 11,500 branches.
In 2008 despite huge protests the then Government axed 2,000 post offices across the country including the branches in Hasbury, Shell Corner, Oldbury and Quinton.

Ecclesiastical Endorsement
Students must be in good Honor Code standing to be admitted to, continue enrollment at, and graduate from LDS Business College. The term "good Honor Code standing" means that a student's conduct is consistent with the Honor Code and the ideals and principles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Excommunication, disfellowship, or disaffiliation from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints automatically results in the loss of good Honor Code standing. Further, a student is not in good Honor Code standing if his or her ecclesiastical endorsement has either lapsed or has been withdrawn, or if the Honor Code Office has placed a "hold" on the student's records.
LDS Students: All enrolled, continuing students at LDS Business College will be required to annually submit a continuing endorsement from the bishop of the ward (1) in which they live and (2) that holds their current Church membership record. Students attending wards on or off campus will need to fill out the form online, obtain a form at the Registration Office, or by downloading the PDF. Endorsements expire April 1st of each year.
Other Students: Non-LDS students are to be endorsed annually by any local bishop or branch president. Students who wish to talk to an LDS bishop may contact the Honor Code Office to obtain that information. Please see BeSmart.com if you are applying as a new student.
Whether on or off campus, all students are expected to abide by the Honor Code, which includes the (1) Academic Honesty Policy, (2) Dress and Grooming Standards, and (3) Continuing Student Ecclesiastical Endorsement.
Withdrawn Ecclesiastical Endorsement
A student's endorsement may be withdrawn at any time if the ecclesiastical leader determines that the student is no longer eligible for the endorsement. If an endorsement is withdrawn, no confessional information is exchanged without authorization from the student. Students without a current endorsement are not in good Honor Code standing and must discontinue enrollment. Students who are not in good Honor Code standing are not eligible for graduation, even if they have otherwise completed all necessary coursework. Excommunication, disfellowshipment, or disaffiliation from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints automatically results in the withdrawal of the student's ecclesiastical endorsement and the loss of good Honor Code standing.
The decision to withdraw an ecclesiastical endorsement may be appealed through appropriate ecclesiastical leaders only. As a matter of practice, LDS Business College does not intervene in ecclesiastical matters or endorsements. In unusual circumstances, however, a student may petition the Honor Code Office to allow an exception to the ecclesiastical endorsement requirement. As part of the petition, a student must sign a release allowing appropriate College officials to freely communicate with the student's ecclesiastical leaders; prepare a written statement outlining the reasons why, in light of the student's extenuating circumstances, the college should allow an exception; and submit this to the Honor Code Office.
When considering the petition, the Honor Code Office will focus not on the merits of the ecclesiastical leader's decision to withdraw the endorsement but instead on whether the student has demonstrated sufficiently compelling grounds to warrant an exception to the college's ecclesiastical endorsement requirement. In addition to speaking with the student's present and former ecclesiastical leaders, the Honor Code Office may also choose to personally interview the student, who may further explain the circumstances that might justify an exception to the ecclesiastical endorsement requirement. The student bears the burden of persuasion that he or she should be considered to be in good Honor Code standing, notwithstanding the lack of an ecclesiastical endorsement. The Honor Code Office's decision regarding the petition will be reviewed by the Chief Student Services Officer if requested by the student. The decision by the Chief Student Services Officer is final.

FIREFIGHTERS from Beaconsfield and Gerrards Cross rushed to the rescue of a dog that found itself in peril after falling into a fast-flowing river over the weekend.
The plight of the dog, which fell into the River Colne in New Denham yesterday, has prompted a safety warning to pet owners after the recent heavy rainfall.
Watch Manager Andy Maloney, from Gerrards Cross Fire Station, said: "The dog had fallen into some low-level, fast-flowing water, but had managed to find a small refuge under a bridge.
"Once a safe system of work had been put in place using the Gerrards Cross and London crews, two firefighters were committed from each end of the bridge in full drysuits.
"Against all odds, and after a number of attempts, the dog was passed up to safety. He is a very lucky dog, and his owner was very thankful."
Firefighters, who also came from Hillingdon, were called out at around 3.43pm. They were at the scene for about 30 minutes.
With waterways in Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes swollen by the recent heavy rain, firefighters are reminding pet-owners to follow this advice:
• Keep dogs on leads near water.
• Should your dog get into difficulty in a lake, river or other waterway, please don't put your safety or other people's at risk by going in after it.
• Stay calm and dial 999 for help. Firefighters are trained and equipped to deal with these incidents.

TONIGHT sees the Clarets up against what could easily be described as our most controversial opponents over the last couple of years or 50.
Indeed, our debut at their new ground in December 2011 saw two Brighton players walk in 11 minutes.
Players being sent off during these games has become the norm rather than the exception, with our own Tom Heaton becoming the latest recipient of a red card down at the Amex under bizarre circumstances.
Having already been booked for bringing down Will Buckley outside the box, our goalkeeper was forced to take evasive action by lobbing the ball in the air before catching it again as the same player attempted to wrestle it out of his hands.
Referee Darren Sheldrake somehow deemed the action as 'ungentlemanly conduct' with a second yellow, and so red.
It has got to be the most ridiculous sending off that I have witnessed, and was surely a case of over compensating for what many – including myself – thought could easily have been a straight red for the original offence.
We have the chance to avenge our first defeat of the season, but it will be anything but an easy passage if the previous spoiling tactics of the opposition surface once more.
Now, although current league leaders Leicester aren't out of sight just yet, it is fair to say that a nine-point deficit will take some closing, which makes our fixture against second-placed Queens Park Rangers on Saturday all the more critical.
There is also the 'Charlie Factor' of course, with Austin presently enjoying a goalscoring purple patch.
Add to that the meanest defence in the division with only five goals conceded at Loftus Road, and the size of our task looks all the more formidable.
But let us dispel any heightened senses of trepidation with a few pertinent facts.
First of all, we have only lost once against any of the top eight sides in Brighton so you can say that we are certainly deserving of our present position.
Secondly, Burnley were good value for their 2-0 win at Turf Moor in October, and finally the threat of Austin that day was superbly 'shackled' by our captain, Jason Shackell.
A repeat performance would certainly make a renewed statement of intent that we fear no-one, home or away, in the Championship.

stones are hard pieces of mineral that form in the bladder. The stones may form
because of a urinary tract infection or enlarged prostate. Bladder stones
are created when urine is concentrated and minerals crystallize and clump together.
Bladder stones may block the tube that carries urine from the
bladder to the outside of the body (urethra). The blocked tube may cause
trouble urinating, painful urination, or complete inability to urinate.

Black Sea and Gate, Crimea
Photograph by Ilias, Ukraine
In June 2010, National Geographic Photo Camp headed to Crimea, a Vermont-sized peninsula that juts down from mainland Ukraine into the Black Sea. There, photographers Jay Dickman and Matt Moyer worked with 20 local students, mentoring them through the process of photographing, editing, and designing a portrait of the Crimean coastline. The students paid special attention to the region's natural environment, as well as their own connection to the water. The week resulted in the creation of a print exhibit that documented the students' experiences at the camp, which was held in partnership with Internews, an international media development organization currently working in Ukraine.
In this photograph taken by student Ilias, a gate appears to frame the Black Sea.

Gonzalez's double leads Dodgers to victory
M. Ellis leaves with injured quad in series opener against Brewers
LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers won the game, but lost Mark Ellis to injury.
Adrian Gonzalez doubled twice and drove in three runs to lead the Dodgers past the Brewers, 7-5, on Friday night at Dodger Stadium. But Ellis left the game after five innings with a strained right quad and the second baseman could land on the disabled list.
The Dodgers didn't let Ellis' injury affect their demeanor, however, and rallied from a 4-3 deficit with two runs in the seventh and eighth innings to improve to 4-1 in their last five games.
Nick Punto, Ellis' replacement at second, scored the go-ahead run on Gonzalez's two-run double in the seventh. Punto also turned a crucial double play in the sixth inning to help Matt Guerrier get out of a jam with the Brewers threatening.
"He's been a sparkplug for us," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said of Punto. "He's played really well, he's got a lot of energy."
The Dodgers will need that energy, and more, to fill the void if Ellis is sidelined for an extended period. The veteran second baseman has been the most consistent player for the Dodgers with a .342 average, two homers and 11 RBIs, not to mention sound defense at second. He singled and scored in the first to extend his hitting streak to six games. But Ellis came up lame while running out a ground ball in the fifth.
"It's tough, he's been playing so good for us," said Gonzalez, who leads the Dodgers with 17 RBIs. "He's been a great guy at the top of the order and with his defense. He's been really good. It's definitely a tough loss if he's going to be out for a little bit. He's such a great player for us."
While the Dodgers have been hit hard by injuries early in 2013, they caught a break on Gonzalez's go-ahead double in the seventh as center fielder Carlos Gomez misplayed the line drive.
"I had it," Gomez said. "I just took a quick look to the wall to see where I am, and when I come back to look at [the ball] again, it's on me. The ball hit me right here."
He pointed to his left forearm, near the wrist.
"It's tough, but I know a play like that, I've made it before, easy," Gomez said.
Gonzalez's heroics made a winner of Ronald Belisario, and erased an underwhelming start by Josh Beckett.
Beckett's night was a mix of good and bad. He allowed three runs on seven hits in 5 2/3 innings, with five strikeouts against two walks. After he walked the leadoff hitter in the first, the right-hander recorded 11 straight outs. But the Brewers got to Beckett the second time through the lineup.
With the Dodgers leading 2-0, Ryan Braun launched a 3-1 offering from Beckett into the right-field bleachers in the fourth. Yuniesky Betancourt led off the fifth with a homer, and Jean Segura added an RBI single to give the Brewers a 3-2 lead.
Beckett remains winless in four starts, but the Dodgers won for the first time with him on the mound.
"We just needed a win," Beckett said. "They played great behind me. I don't really care who gets the win."
Belisario fired 1 2/3 scoreless innings and struck out three to earn his second victory. The right-hander has not allowed a hit in his last three outings, spanning 4 1/3 innings.
"The ball is going down, and if we can get him to keep the ball down you can see the swing those guys take, it's just filthy," Mattingly said.
Brandon League allowed a run in the ninth, but got Braun to ground out to first with a runner on second to record his seventh save in eight chances.
The Dodgers capitalized on their scoring chances and matched their season high for runs scored. The club was 4-for-9 with runners in scoring position.
Carl Crawford broke out of a 2-for-19 skid with his ninth multi-hit game. He led off the third with his first homer at Dodger Stadium. Crawford belted a 1-0 pitch from Brewers starter Hiram Burgos into right-center.
"I had a tough road trip and I'm just trying to get back on track," said Crawford, who added an RBI single in the eighth for insurance. "A home run never hurts."
Justin Sellers went 2-for-4 with a double and scored twice. The shortstop raised his average to .224, and is hitting .333 (7-for-21) over his last six starts.
"He's swinging the bat pretty well," Mattingly said.
Luis Cruz also showed signs of breaking out of his slump with a pinch-hit single in the eighth to raise his average to .106.

A Little Rain Can't Stop The Boss [LIST/PHOTOS/POLL]
The weather was perfect for the first two Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band concert at MetLife Stadium. But the Boss' luck ran out with a delay due to thunderstorms and heavy rain on Saturday night that did not lessen the experience for anyone for a show that one lone time fan called "epic."
Everyone's was moved off the field and into the crowded concourses at MetLife Stadium around 8:30PM due to the threat of lightning from a line of strong thunderstorms. But the threat passed and the concert got underway around 10:30PM and lasted into the early hours of Springsteen's 63rd birthday, ending at 1:55AM.
A very tired Tom "TC" Cunningham, longtime Springsteen aficionado and host of the Bruce Brunch on sister Townsquare Media NJ station 105.7 The Hawk called the show "epic" despite hosting his program mere hours after the end of the concert. "It was amazing to look around at 1AM and see that no one went home," said Cunningham about the show. Bruce and everyone at the show was "really into it."
It was also the playlist selection. " 'The River' into 'Jungleland?' That's special." recalled TC.
On Wednesday Bruce and the band kicked off the first of the 3 "Wrecking Ball" shows at MetLife. The band played for 3 hours and 40 minutes and featured a rockin' version of "Prove It All Night", a massive sing along to "Hungry Heart", original drummer Vini Lopez and a crowd surfing Boss!
Friday night at 8:28pm the band entered to Frank Sinatra's "Summer Wind." Bruce (who turns 63 tomorrow) and the band had a "let's say goodbye to summer" party! The boss and the E Street Band played for 3 hours and nine minutes, performing 28 songs! The show included a first time performance of "Living On The Edge Of The World", Gary US Bonds, and fireworks! The show was over at 11:37pm.
Saturday night's show started at 10:31 with "Out In The Street". Other highlights include "Who'll Stop The Rain" (it stopped!), Bruce's friend Gary US Bonds and Little Steven leading the crowd in singing "Happy Birthday" as Bruce tuned 63 at midnight. Joining in the on stage celebrating was Bruce's mom Adele, his sister Ginny, Patti Scialfa's mother and brother, plus Maureen Van Zandt came out with a huge birthday cake. The highlight of the night for many was a moving version of "Jungleland". After 3 hours and 28 minutes and 33 songs, the show came to an end with "Twist & Shout" at 1:55am.
If you went to the shows and took some photos, "Show Us Your Springsteen"!

RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA – A new math tutoring center is coming to town, after the Rancho Santa Margarita Planning Commission's recent approval of a permit for the business.
Mathnasium, The Math Learning Center is slated to open in April in a leased 1,253-square-foot vacant office suite at 22431 Antonio Parkway, next to Spice Thai Cuisine in the Antonio Plaza shopping center. The site was previously Antibes Salon and Spa, with only minor interior remodeling and new signage needed to convert the space to a tutoring center, according to a report from city staff.
The center will offer tutoring in everything from number sense to calculus for children 5 to 18 years old. Students will come two to three times per week for prescheduled, hour-long sessions. Most sessions will be one-on-one with a tutor, with group sessions at a 1 to 4 tutor/student ratio.
The center needed a permit since schools or tutoring services require special approval to operate in general commercial zones. City staff recommended the project for approval, saying it won't adversely affect area traffic or noise. The staff report also states a different tutoring company ran an office in the same shopping center from 2005 to 2007, with no complaints from surrounding tenants.
To further ease concerns, management of the new center said it will charge a late fee for any students not picked up immediately after the end of a session and make them sign a code of conduct to prevent loitering.
The Planning Commission unanimously approved the permit with conditions including a maximum of four tutors and 16 students in the center at one time and a one-year term to start.
There are more than 300 franchised Mathnasium tutoring centers across the country, including in Ladera Ranch, Lake Forest and Laguna Niguel. For information on the company, visit mathnasium.com.

MELBOURNE BEACH, Fla. - Fourteen-year-old Kai Rittgers was paddling in off Melbourne Beach at dusk Monday when he felt something hit his foot.
He saw a tannish-gray blur in the water near his surfboard.
"It was like this sharp little pain, then I kind of sat up really quick and saw it was a shark," Kai said. The boy said he shook his left foot, which left the 2- to 3-foot shark "squirming around on the board" for a few seconds.
Kai, his brothers and his dad, Bryce Rittgers, had been surfing off North Spessard Holland Park, but Kai was the only one left in the water at the time. Slightly scared by the encounter, Kai paddled toward shore as fast as he could.
Rittgers took his son to see a friend, Dawn Jockovich, who is an emergency room doctor, Local 6 News partner Florida Today reported.
She put a few bandages over the crescent-shaped line of teeth marks on Kai's heel -- no stitches were necessary -- and issued a prescription for an antibiotic.
Recovering at home Monday night, the Hoover Middle School student said he felt fine, and that he wouldn't go surfing that late in the day again.
His father agreed.
"I tell him every time it gets late (that) it's feeding time, you need to come in," Rittgers said.
The incident was at least the fifth reported shark bite off Brevard County beaches this year.

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
Valentine's Day is a time for people to let those they love or want to love know how they feel – and businesses should do the same.
On a daily basis, companies focus their efforts on satisfying demands and meeting customers' needs. A company's ultimate success, however, results from maintaining and enlarging its loyal customer base. Businesses can learn a lot from seeing what works in any good relationship. Valentine's Day is a reminder of how relationships are strengthened by expressing appreciation, and potential relationships are started by expressing interest.
Just as knowing how to say "I love you" can be more complicated in relationships where barriers of culture and language exist, companies expanding into international markets need to carefully consider the way they communicate their appreciation and interest to customers and potential customers.
When deciding which messages will woo customers in other countries, companies should remember that communications offered with positive intent are not always received positively. Without considering the audience, the choice of words, and the opinion of an in-country specialist, the messages companies send out may do more harm than good.
Know to whom you are speaking
If an American were to say "I love you" to an Arab by quoting Shakespeare, "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate," his message would likely fail to impress.
Similarly, when companies expand across borders, they may try to win over new customers with the same messages that succeeded in their own countries. This can be a mistake. Without considering the traditions and culture of the country they are targeting and how their message will be understood and perceived, they may be wasting their money, or worse, creating misunderstandings and misperceptions.
Before entering a new market, companies need to consider questions such as: How can I appeal to their self interests? What do they already know, if anything, about our product? Who in this culture will be making the purchasing decision for a product like ours? The answers to these and other questions will help companies send the right message to potential foreign customers.
Don't be too flowery
Words often get in the way when individuals from different countries and cultures try to express heartfelt emotions such as "I love you."
Ultimately, in appealing to potential customers, a company must choose words that will come across clearly. The types of marketing materials companies use vary; nevertheless, all marketing materials aim to do two things – educate (create understanding) and resonate (create interest or enthusiasm). To do this, a company's marketing materials need to go through two steps: globalization and localization.
To globalize marketing materials, a company needs to remove all cultural references and craft or revise them until they convey only the company's essential and most basic messages in a way that can be understood universally. This may at first seem counterintuitive as a message's strength often comes from content such as idioms and metaphors. But such descriptive words are culturally dependent and confusing to outsiders. Globalized content, if well developed, is sure to be understood.
Once a message has been globalized, it can be localized or made persuasive and compelling for a specific market. Localization is how companies make their message resonate with potential customers. The message is strengthened by adding locally appropriate references that appeal to the target market.
One example of material that benefited from this process was a marketing brochure sent by a Korean company to a language service provider to be translated into English. The material used a lot of elaborate imagery and metaphors taken from Korean folk stories and fables. While these references work well in a Korean market, an American market would have been lost and confused. The material had to be globalized and then localized for an American audience.
Companies can ensure the right mix of sincerity, clarity and resonance by globalizing and localizing their message for foreign markets.
Run it by a friend
In an effort to impress, would-be lovers sometimes come up with unrealistic ideas, and if different cultures are involved, the result can be disastrous. That's why lovers need friends—someone to tell them they're off track.
With businesses, getting off track can happen surprisingly quickly as a result of misunderstanding subtle cultural nuances. These misunderstandings can easily take the form of bad marketing ideas. For this reason, marketing materials should always be reviewed by a marketing or language expert in the target country. In-country specialist can point out flaws and help make marketing materials more powerful.
Different marketing materials need more review than others. The more technically oriented and less descriptive the marketing materials are, the more likely it is that their translations will be accurate and fulfill their purpose. Materials such as advertisements are more apt to lose their value in a foreign market and will need more in-country review. Failed communications can be disastrous to a company's long-term success in a country, so the best practice is always to run it by an in-country translation provider who can point out shortcomings or an in-country marketer who can help develop effective marketing messages.
Customers and potential customers will feel the caring and respect that such a carefully crafted message conveys and in return show their appreciation through repeated business. Valentine's Day is a good time to consider whether you are getting this message right.

Clean Me a LotRiddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
One example of where you will find me,
Is many locations inside of one building.
When I'm new I'm remarkably plain,
But after first use, I'm never the same,
People clean me a lot, but I'm never like new,
The changes come off, but leave residue.
You will have seen me in your early years,
I'm definitely a tool for the eyes, not the ears,
But there is a sound that I can make,
To cause the strongest man to quake.
I feel I should give more of a clue,
But I don't want to make it too easy for you.
I may have bored you, or enthralled,
But can you tell me what I'm called?
HintDidn't you learn anything at school?
AnswerA chalkboard (or blackboard)

A urinary
catheter is a small, flexible tube that can be inserted through the urethra and
into the bladder, allowing urine to drain. The urethra is the tube that carries
urine outside the body from the bladder.
A urinary catheter may
be used for someone who is unable to urinate or who has trouble moving and
getting to the bathroom. It is also used to collect a urine sample from someone
who is very ill or unable to provide a clean-catch urine specimen. A urinary
catheter is also used for certain tests done on the urinary system.

John Isner has withdrawn from the Hopman Cup with a right knee injury, ending the American team's chances of reaching the final of the tournament.
Spain and the US were each 2-0 in round-robin play heading into Thursday's deciding match-up between the two teams at Perth's Burswood Dome.
Spain was awarded a walkover and will now advance to the final.
Isner's knee was strapped during his loss to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France on Tuesday and he later said he was suffering from "a little tendinitis."
Although Spain was assured of advancing to the final, Venus Williams was still scheduled to play Spain's Anabel Medina Garrigues in women's singles and would partner with Isner's Australian hitting partner, Thanasi Kokkinakis, to play Fernando Verdasco and Medina Garrigues in mixed doubles.

WARMINSTER-BASED Charlie Pennington's preparations for the Bath half marathon appear to be going well on the evidence of his victory in the final Bath Skyline 10km of the winter series.
Success on a challenging multi terrain course above the city is entirely different from pounding its streets but you can't beat winning for a boost to self-confidence especially as Pennington, who finished third in the Half Ironman World Championships in 2012, knocked off as impressive 3mins 6secs off his December time over the same course.
Runner-up was Dauntsey School student Will Christofi, who made a successful return to the Relish Running series after winning the inaugural series at Dyrham Park in 2011 and Ryan Kestle was third.
"This was final race of the Bath Skyline 10km winter series and we would like to say a big thank you to our hosts at the University of Bath, our brilliant sponsors Running Bath and O2 Creation, as well as all the marshals," said organiser Tom Room.
Room said the next race will in Bath will be the Roman Challenge 10k multi terrain race on July 14th incorporating a section along the Cotswold Way and up to Kelston Roundhill. For further details see the website at: relishrunningraces.com.

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's live interview on Kackar TV dated October 6, 2010
What assailed you on the day the two armies met was by Allah's permission, so that He would know the believers, (Surah Al 'Imran, 166)
and so that He would know the hypocrites. They were told, "Come and fight in the Way of Allah or at least help defend us." They said, "If we knew how to fight, we would certainly follow you." They were closer to disbelief that day than to faith, saying with their mouths what was not in their hearts. And Allah knows best what they are hiding. (Surah Al 'Imran, 167)
Hypocrites wait for the moment to attack Muslims. That is the time when the hypocrite most clearly gives himself away. He will wait for months, or years. There are two communities – Muslims, and those who attack them. Hypocrites are unaware that Allah has created their assault. But it is an honor for Muslims. It raises their rank, and a believer becomes one of those with whom Allah is pleased. The words that most infuriate hypocrites are, "Come and fight in the Way of Allah or at least help defend us." Say that and it hits the hypocrite right where it hurts. When one says, "Come and strive together to establish the Turkish-Islamic Union" one hits the hypocrite right where it hurts. They say there would be no question if they knew how to fight, but they are lying, of course. Of course they have sides that resemble faith, but on days such as that the disbelief side of them becomes evident. The hypocrite keeps the truth hidden in his heart. Anger really damages a person. It is like a scourge kept locked away. Their anger finishes them off. It burns them, attacks their bodies and strangles them, though they are unaware of it. Their anger attacks them as a lethal power. It ruins them!
Because the hypocrite is burning up inside it is that which spurs him into action and that anger inside him claws at him all the time. He attacks Muslims, and inflicts troubles on himself, in order to escape that. The hypocrite literally cannot believe his own eyes. He thinks he can easily resolve the problem, but it does not happen. There is a three-dimensional marble in a bowl. It is like you can easily pick it up. One puts one's hand in to try and pull the marble out, but it comes out empty. They have used a wonderful technique. You wouldn't think otherwise; it looks like there is a metal marble in a metal bowl. It appears as solid as this book, no game of light; it seems to be right there, but one's hand comes back empty. It is the same with the hypocrite; he is always on the attack, but always comes up empty. Each of his snares is created so that they will be thwarted. Allah compares the hypocrite to a dog. It barks all the time. It barks whether you say anything to it or not. Allah compares the hypocrite to a dog that lolls out its tongue and pants. It lolls out its tongue and pants whether you make a move toward it or not.
