Report Details Concerns of Burlington Telecom Advisory Committee
Local Matters
More than two years after it was convened to help guide the city-owned cable operation, an advisory group for Burlington Telecom is still struggling to understand its role, according to the annual report it recently submitted to the Burlington City Council.
In the report, the Burlington Telecommunications Advisory Committee expresses frustration with BT's tendency to "hold back" detailed information about its operations since the departure of former general manager Tim Nulty late last year.
Authored by BTAC chairman Greg Epler-Wood, and covering a 12-month period that ended April 30, the report said the lack of "yardstick" data from BT has made it necessary for committee members to "redefine our roles and responsibilities." It states that concerns about the committee's relationship with BT "have grown through the year" in three key areas:
- BT has not tapped the "professional resources" of the committee's members;
- BT has failed to capitalize on "its uniqueness and potential" to leverage residents' enthusiasm and "pride of ownership";
- The widespread positive attention BT had earned for its "uniqueness and potential . . . has all but disappeared."
Part of the problem has been negative media coverage of BT's financial situation and, more recently, the dustup over whether to remove Al Jazeera English from the program schedule. But the committee's concerns predate those controversies, according to Burlington City Councilor Andy Montroll (D-Ward 6), who chairs the Transportation and Energy Committee that acts as the council's liaison to BT.
"There has been frustration for a while now," Montroll said. Noting that BT competes with a host of privately owned telecommunications companies, including Comcast and Fairpoint, Epler-Wood said the group is not concerned with detailed financial matters, which, if divulged, could put the cable system at a competitive disadvantage.
But, he added, committee members are anxious to use their professional expertise to help "market and brand" BT and to take advantage of the "extraordinary potential" of the system.
The Burlington City Council authorized the BTAC in October 2004 in order to "include a measure of citizen input and oversight" in systems development. BTAC's seven members represent a range of community interests, from information technology to citizen journalism.
"We are willing and able to use our skills to the extent that we can to shift attention back to where it should be — the success and potential of BT, and the advantages of a municipally owned, state-of-the-art cable system," said Epler-Wood, a telecommunications consultant who has chaired the BTAC since 2006.
Chris Burns, BT's general manager, said he views the BTAC as what it is, an advisory committee, "not a commission," and that its role should be limited accordingly.
"They should be giving us feedback from the community, giving us a reflection of what they feel the residents want for services and how we're doing," he said. "They're citizens off the street, essentially, appointed by the city council. I think that's some of the challenge and the confusion."
Epler-Wood, however, clearly envisions BTAC as something more than a vehicle for subscribers' views. The committee's report said BTAC was "enthusiastically looking forward" to helping BT expand its model to other Vermont towns, only to be told those efforts were being scaled back because of BT's financial situation.
"We're not saying that's a bad position," Epler-Wood said. "But there hasn't been any real evidence that they are keeping that dream alive since we were told they were pulling back."
Burns explained that BT is still relatively new, and that the department has been focused on building up its hardware and business operations. "We still talking to towns, but it's not a revolving door like it was a few years ago," he said. "The thought was that we would better define those processes so we could support expansion more effectively."
The Burlington City Council was supposed to take up the report at its Monday meeting, but discussion was tabled until next week to allow councilors to complete work on the 2009 budget. Montroll acknowledged the tension between BT and the advisory committee, but said it's not necessarily a bad thing.
"This kind of report, I think, is good," Montroll said. "It gives us a lot of information about concerns we need to be aware of. Now our job is to start dealing with them."

Maddalena (Catherine Spaak) masquerades as a heroic male named Teodoro and joins the army to gain insight on men in this costumed comedy satire. She falls for an officer (Tomas Milian) but he is naturally unable to act on his impulses because he believes she is a man. Other men also make passes at her in hopes she is really the man she claims to be. The situation allows for plenty of sight gags and situation comedy from the battlefield to the bedroom. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

Dangerous behavior. Situational Ethics.
Though I believe in second chances and redemption, this one is tough. I imagine most of us would be doing time for at least months for this same behavior. And is this a 3rd chance for him ??? Just asking.
My professional code of ethics is very strict, as is my professional licensing. What he did would end my professional career. Much less than what he did would end my professional career. His career is likely preserved.

#Steelers NT Alameda Ta'amu Clarifies Twitter SNAFU & Says He No Longer Drinks
On Sunday night, Pittsburgh Steelers nose tackle Alameda Ta'amu made a bad mistake when he retweeted a Twitter picture posted by @ME0ish showing him in a car with a bottle of Fireball Cinnamon Whisky. After posting about the picture, the retweet by Ta'amu has since been deleted, as has the original picture.
Ta'amu has now taken to Twitter to clarify things.
I don't go out and I don't drink.. I've passed every UA test since October 14.. I'm in Pitt training.. Focused for next season. HONEST MISTAKE. Really. Didn't look at his pic before sending my tweet. Wouldn't joke about that."

Ooooh, it's hot! Today's high temp will be 34C/94F. With the humidity, it'll feel like 49C/120F. It kind of gives a new meaning to the term BBQ Town, doesn't it? Here are some tips for handling the heat:
The Chatham-Kent Public Health Unit urges residents to follow these steps:
• Drink plenty of water.
• Go to an air conditioned place.
• Wear a hat and lightweight, loose-fitting clothing.
• Take a cool bath or shower.
• Limit outdoor activities to the coolest part of the day.
• Check on your neighbours and family.
• Never leave children or pets alone in closed vehicles.
• If you feel ill, faint, have difficulty breathing, or feel disoriented, visit your doctor or nearest hospital right away. In an emergency, call 911

I like blogging because I enjoy being completely open and honest. I enjoy sharing details of our latest projects, and what struggles we are working through at the moment. I don't get too concerned about how many people read my blog or not since it is mostly just for my own personal enjoyment. When it comes to my photography business however, I take everything very seriously. This post is about to get very open, honest and raw. I apologize in advance because it will probably not be my happiest post.
I have been really struggling lately with our photography business, trying to build some momentum after having taken so much time off shooting with my pregnancy bed rest and long postpartum recovery. Now that I am starting to regain some mobility, I have been working hard to do as many photoshoots as I can, and working until very late each night on editing images and creating marketing materials to go along with our relaunch and rebranding for the company. It is pretty disheartening when you are working so hard at something and feel very little support from those around you.
There are certain select few people in my life who are endlessly supportive of me and my photography, and I am grateful beyond words for their support. My husband and my mom are always my constant cheerleaders, although neither of them goes online so they do not have much reach to help support me in a digital manner. There are a few other select friends and family members who are always extremely supportive, but in general, the majority of people I have known for years tend to not show any interest or support.
I have been working so hard to try to spread the word about our business relaunch, and yet I never really see much increase in our number of Facebook fans (or followers, or likers, or whatever you want to call it). When I log into Facebook, it tells me how many of my friends have "liked" our business page. Compared to the number of friends I have on my personal page, that number is extremely low. In fact, I have calculated it out that only 20% of my "friends" have taken the effort to click a button to support the business that I started two and a half years ago.
I do not embarrass easily, but my most embarrassing moment ever happened a number of years ago when an art gallery launch party was thrown in my honor. When I was asked to speak about my work that was featured on display that night, I was asked who had come to support me that night. I looked around at a sea of strangers and had to admit that no one that I had invited had shown up. (this was before I met my husband…I know he would have been there.) Now, every day when I log into Facebook and check our photography business page, I feel a tiny stab of that same embarrassment when I see that only 20% of my Facebook "friends" have clicked "like" to be a "fan" of our photography business page.
I know that life (and business) is not a popularity contest, and many aspects of Facebook are much like a high school popularity contest. I try to keep that in mind, but it is still hard to not let it get to me. I recently read an article for photographers about watching for digital photo theft. The author mentioned keeping an eye out for photography pages that show high quality work, but have a low number of fans (less than 500). That stung so bad…I am not the sort of person that likes to brag, but I know that I produce high quality imagery. I also know that at around 200 fans, our fan page does not measure up with the quality of my work. After I read that article, I literally cried from embarrassment. The thought that people might look at our page and think that I had stolen images from elsewhere just because I have a lack of support from those around me broke my heart. Best case scenario, someone may look at our Facebook page and think that I am a new photographer who just recently started a photography business once I became a mom (and that has been a common assumption unfortunately). It is sad that my photography journey of many years feels as though it did not exist thanks to that stupid low number.
When I was in fashion school, I took many marketing, business and entrepreneurial classes. I know there are things that I could be doing to help improve our following, but I am not a pushy salesperson. I kind of had the sad hope that my work would speak for itself, and people I know would be supportive enough to help spread the word about my work. Sadly, this has not been the case. If someone ever wanted to give me a gift, the thing that makes me happiest is when someone takes an image I have shot of them (or their child), and makes it their profile picture on Facebook and/or Instagram. Little things like that make me happy for days (actually much longer because I grin from ear to ear every time I see it!).
Social media can be a great tool for many business owners, but particularly for photographers since your work is out there for the whole world to see. It is frustrating though when you post something that you have spent hours of your time on and poured your soul into artistically, and feel like you can hear crickets chirping after you post it. I decided that I am going to change my game plan for marketing our business, and start trying some new things, even if that pushes me outside my comfort zone.
I also have been getting discouraged when I try to work with people close to me on creating an elaborate session that speaks to a particular theme or style that I have been envisioning. I have a sketchbook full of ideas that I have been waiting to execute on a willing model. After much discussion, my husband and I have decided that I am going to stop asking others for help with my more creative ideas (with the exception of my wonderfully cooperative cousin), and instead translate them into a series of fine art self-portraits. I am getting a little excited about the idea of working on some of those sessions.
To be honest, if it were not for my husband's support and my desire to make sure that I capture tons of images of our baby, I would have given up on the photography business by now and just sold all of my equipment. The past few years have been so difficult for us in so many ways, and I would have never expected that it would be this difficult for me with starting this business. My husband and our baby keep me going, and give me hope that things will improve. My husband has taken the week off work to finish up the construction projects so I can finally open my studio, and I am looking forward to that tremendously. I am trying to focus on all of the aspects of the business that I am looking forward to, stay positive, and keep working on this. I feel strongly that my place in the world is as a wife, mother and photographer. I did not let multiple diagnosis of infertility make me give up on the idea of becoming a mom, and I am trying to keep myself in that same determined mindset when it comes to my photography. I keep trying to repeat this to myself over and over: my value and talent as an artist is not determined by a number on a social media outlet.

Brandon was 3 the first time another mother called me to schedule a playdate.
"A playdate," I giggled. "That's so clever! Did you make that up yourself?" (The dead silence on the other end of the phone clued me in that I had just made a monumental maternal faux pas that could potentially rival my last monumental maternal faux pas of offering up a bag of artificially colored/flavored Cheetos -- rather than the au natural variety -- to my son's playgroup.) The other mother suddenly had a dire emergency and promised to call back. She didn't.

It's in you to give.
That's the motto of Canadian Blood Services and it appears Prince George people have taken that slogan to heart, reclaiming the Drive For Life challenge title we lost to Kelowna last year.
Over the course of the six-week challenge, from Sept. 6-Oct. 18, Prince George collected 901 blood donations at the Westwood Drive clinic, which represents 102 per cent of the donation target of 885.
The city brought in 78 new donors, slightly below the target of 94.
In Kelowna, which has a larger population than Prince George, the Okanagan city collected 1,268 donors, equivalent to 83 per cent of the donation target of 1,408. Of that total, 109 were new donors, 40 short of the target goal of 149.
Were pleased we exceeded our goal this year for Prince George and that more than 2,000 blood donations were made overall during this years competition, said Amy Erickson, a partnership specialist with Canadian Blood Services in Prince George.
This annual blood drive helps encourage Canadians to become regular donors to meet our future blood needs. We do our best to turn new and current donors into lifelong donors and are grateful to our supporters in both cities for rolling up their sleeves to help hospital patients, she said.
As a result of losing the friendly challenge, Kelowna mayor Walter Gray will have to wear a Prince George Cougars WHL jersey to a Kelowna city council meeting to officially concede defeat.
Prince George has now won the Drive For Life challenge in four of the past six years, winning in 2007, 2008 , 2010, and 2012.
The Prince George Canadian Blood Services donor clinic at 2277 Westwood Drive is open to accept donations Wednesday and Thursdays from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. and on every fourth Saturday from 8 a.m.-3 p.m.
Donors should call 1-888-236-6283 to make an appointment to avoid delays on donation day. More information is available online at blood.ca.

Joe Wolverton, II, J.D.
Tom Tancredo and Colorado's "Platform for Prosperity"
Tea Party activists are working nationwide to shake every tree of unrest wherever they find them growing to acquire money sufficient to fund campaigns of viable political candidates who are willing to vow to hew tightly to the conservative principles upon which the movement is built. While these support safaris are happening in several states, the battle for the state house in Colorado has particularly animated the substantial segment of the population dissatisfied with the policies of the current Democratic governor, Bill Ritter.
Congress Prepared to Embrace VAT to Fund Gov't. Growth
President Obama instructed Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) to deliver to his desk a comprehensive overhaul of the healthcare system in America and make it happen for under $900 million. No sooner had the roll been called in the Senate chamber and the requisite 60 votes counted, Senator Reid was crowing about how his package came in under the budget set by the president. At the unveiling of his legislation, Reid was quick to point to the bill's bottom line: $849 billion. That gives the President about $51 million in change.
Tea Party Groups: Patriots and Profiteers
Among conservatives, the current of resentment and fury-fired indignation at a Congress and President consistently overstepping their constitutional bounds runs deep and swift. Now come those who would divert this wide channel of displeasure into a percolating stream of revenue.
"Conservative" Republicans Seek to Impose Litmus Test for Candidates
In an effort to rid the GOP of what some of its members derisively call RINOs (Republicans in Name Only), self-styled conservative party leaders have developed a 10-point loyalty scorecard by which it intends to measure every Republican seeking elective office in the upcoming 2010 election cycle.
Govt Found Negligent in New Orleans Disaster
A federal district court held last Wednesday that the federal government generally and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers specifically were culpably negligent in the failure of Corps-constructed levees to withstand the rising tide caused by the landfall of Hurricane Katrina on August 29, 2005.
Imam Denies Inciting Violence Against Americans
While completing his residency at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Major Nidal Hasan told an audience of fellow physicians that the army should excuse Muslim soldiers from serving in combat zones where they would be fighting others of their faith. If Muslims in the U.S. Armed Forces were not thus afforded conscientious objector status, then there could be "adverse effects," Hasan warned.
Questions Abound in the Investigation of the Ft. Hood Massacre
"What did you know and when did you know it?" was the infamously blunt question asked of President Richard Nixon regarding his involvement in the Watergate scandal. His unwillingness to answer that query eventually brought down his entire administration, culminating in his own historic resignation from office. Now that same question, instead of being asked of a President, is being asked by a President in regard to the Ft. Hood shooter and what if anything officials could have done to have prevented the recent tragedy.
The Melancholy and Vain: Barack Obama's Hamlet Complex
In a recent interview with CBS's Early Show anchor, Harry Smith, former Massachusetts Governor and Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney compared President Obama's hesitation to announce and stick to a consistent policy in Afghanistan to Hamlet's immortal vacillations as contained in Shakespeare's poignant "To be or not to be" soliloquy:
Obama Follows Bush Administration's Suit Regarding Warrantless Wiretaps
In American politics there is no adage truer than "The more something changes the more it stays the same." The latest piece of evidence offered to prove this maxim is the Obama administration's request that a lawsuit in San Francisco seeking damages against the government for information obtained through a warrantless wiretap be thrown out because of potential threats to national security.
Barack Obama Continues Bush Administration Policy Regarding Posse Comitatus
It has been just over one year since the U.S. Army announced that the 3rd Infantry Division's 1st Brigade Combat Team was being placed under the direct control of the US Army Northern Command (NORTHCOM), and was being indefinitely reassigned as an "on-call federal response force" for emergencies of all sorts, natural and man-made, including terrorist attacks, within NORTHCOM's area of responsibility — the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

This route is traditional given a 5.9+ rating, but it could just as easily be a modern 5.10. My vote is not to split hairs because they both mean the same thing at Cathedral. Diedre is possibly the best climb of the grade on the cliff as it offers well-protected, full-length, and full value, mostly crack climbing. Climb it, enough said... Pitch 1: (5.7) Up the "Triple Corners." Off width cracks up a series of ledges to a comfortable belay ledge. Pitch 2: (5.9+ or 5.10a depending on who ya ask) Climb up the main corner until it is possible to move right under the roof(use your feet) past an old pin. Clip it. Then mantel on to a ledge to the right of the roof. That was the crux. Belay at a couple of pins and gear on the ledge. Pitch 3: (5.8) Climb the picture perfect corner crack. Jam and stem (strenuous work for a 5.8 pitch) past a birch tree growing out of the crack. Belay from the top on small gear. Pitch 4: (5.4) Make easy moves right along the wide, hand crack to the blueberry ledge, a cool ledge that could sleep a party of 20. Pitch 5: (5.9) It won't take you long to find the absolutely perfect, hand crack heading up from the ledge. Follow the crack to a tricky exit move and lower angle climbing up to one more bulge (another 5.9 move) jam up to one last mantel. Belay from a tree and take in the scenery.
Look for the birch tree corner above then locate the triple corner steps below.
Standard rack to #3.5 Camalot.
A must do for the 5.10- Trad climber. This is my favorite 5.10 by far at Cathedral
My first climb at Catherdal. The first pitch is a mossy affair, not to tough. The second pitch, starts off up cracks on the left side of the overhand. Strenuous moves under the roof lead to a stem and good jug to belay ledge (5.9+/10a) There is an old piton under the roof that you don't want to clip but probably will. P3 takes you up a strenuous hand crack past a birch tree (growing right out of crack)up to a nice belay (5.8). P4 is easy 5th class to belay right below the final overhanging crack. This goes easier than it looks at 5.9. A good bit of beta here is the sling off to right to use as a directional to keep the rope out of a vary devious narrowing crack. Great potential for a stuck rope. continue on to the final overhang (5.9) and the top. Walk off North.
Nice tip with the sling directional... i always placed a nut above the overhang in a crack to the left for the same purpose but either way will keep your rope out of a crack that has claimed a few....
Wasn't Diedre always a 5.9? Funny how the longer you wait, the better the climber you become!
Ya- classic NH it's 5.9 except for the crux move.
This can be a very wet route. Leaders should be careful to protect the second on the roof crux as placing gear too far left or high has serious swing potential for the follower.
I'm calling this a 5.9+ cause I thought it was harder than 10a.
Very short crux...nothing special...I thought it was 5.9. The last pitch, however is phenomenal and not as hard as it looked from the belay.

Is the Bose SoundDock II compatible with the 4th generation iPod Touch?
- Asked by David B from Albany
- Sep 14, 2010
- Flag as inappropriate
6 Answers from the Community
Best Answer
Before buying it I called Apple Support and they confirmed it is compatible. Same thing said Bose. My experience is that it works, but you have to remove any IPod case protection you may have and pull it a little hard into dock. Once you hear a beep, you will find it working OK. I have both, portable and AC powered, and both are terrific! Just be careful when placing it into dock. And as per the message " This is not compatible...", don't worry, I got it with the brand new Apple Universal dock too LOL.

it wont unfortunately, ive just upgraded from an ipod touch 3 expectin to still be able to connect it up and charge but it looks like the port on the bottom of the touch is too shallow.
my soundock is the portable. I have local input on the back of the unit but means i cannot charge it or use the remote.
Maybe bose will make an adapter that will allow it to fit??- Answered by Ste B
- Oct 7, 2010
- Flag as inappropriate
Short answer: Yes
Longer answer: It may look as if the Touch 4G doesn't fits on the Bose dock, but it does.
If you don't wiggle the Touch around a bit, however, and you therefore don't have it connected just right, you'll get a message that the accessory (Bose dock) is incompatible.
After several minutes of fumbling around and only seeing the Pandora app pictures, not hearing any sound, I'm now listening to Pandora .
I guess I have to suspend the Touch's automatic lock if I want to see what's playing.- Answered by Nathaniel K from Rye Brook

Make sure you remove any covers and that you press down to make sure it is seated. Annoying but it works.

Hmm, i dont see any difference in RAM usage between original Confluence and my mod. Can you please compare both skins and give me a feedback? I guess reduction of RAM might be possible when deleting some of the view modes completely out of the XMLs, but thats just a guess.
BTW: I run this mod on two ATV2s and did not have any RAM usage issues yet. If you want so save some memory, check if nitoTV installed 'Exposed' and if yes, unstall it. Exposed is an unnecessary memory killer. But please compare this mod with original Confluence and let me know the results and if there is a difference, on which screens it occours. Enabling dirtyregions in your advancedsettings.xml could also help (but this is more a cpu usage thing) This is what 'top' gives me 103 AppleTV 68.2% 4:04.24 16 202 600 16868K 1668K 56M 184M Modded Version: Video Library Screen 103 AppleTV 0.9% 4:21.45 16 202 594 16808K 1676K 51M 179M Modded Version: Home Screen 103 AppleTV 68.6% 4:43.22 17 203 618 17596K 1676K 59M 186M Original Version: Video Library Screen 103 AppleTV 0.0% 4:32.61 16 202 612 16772K 1676K 52M 180M Original Version: Home Screen looks like neary the same for me

I found your skin to be quit a bit quicker then any of the other mods on here,
though if your going for a completely minimal experience might I suggest adding all the addons , video, music,programs in there own menu, say where the programs are on the home menu and moving the music videos from where the videos menu is over to music, that would leave the area that says videos only with the list and file view on them, and then even that area could be removed.. just a thought. I like the whole idea of starting from the bottom up like you have done here, I haven't seen any other skin do that. |

Last night I stopped by a produce store and decided to try out a winter melon for--to my knowledge--the first time.
They were selling them as quarter-melon pieces. I picked it up, studied it, squeezed it, determined it to be ripe, spent like $2 on it, and took it home to eagerly try it.
By the time I had it in front of me, I was practically salivating for this fruit I didn't know the flavor of.
My first bite...and it tasted like nothing! Like the un-sweet absence of flavor. Well, maybe a bit on the bitter side, but not even that really. So I took a few more half-hearted bites, trying to work out the flavor, decided that flavor is Boring, and put it away. I figure I'll add it in a grape smoothie or something so I don't waste it.
Now, I realize it could have just been that particular guy I picked up. Of course I'm happy to try again if they're normally yummy and sweet.
= )
Thanks so much...I couldn't resist!
She's one happy greedy little fruit eater...just started her on juicy and creamy fruit solids this week!
She loves sucking on/face planting in: banana, orange, pear, all melons (apparently!), apples, pineapple, tomato, strawberry, peaches and whatever else I'm eating!
I've been asked if I plan to start her on Gerber rice cereal. Think my new answer is I'd rather giver her winter melon. = )
Awww, she's getting her chow on!
Did she eat that entire box of fruit behind her too? :)
Ha, I wish!!! That's a Bugles chip box. There's a Kellog's Rice Krispy box right by it, too.
We get lots of boxes around here since I work at a food pantry and am forever getting boxes of donated foods to haul around.
I've never ordered boxes of fruit before. I am hoping my first very soon will be a sampler box from the Date People!
Who's the watermelon-eating cutie-pie contestant in your picture??? = )
That must be a rewarding job, getting food (even if it's Bugles :) to folks who might otherwise go without.
The wee watermelon muncher was dropped off unannounced on my doorstep by the Google stork one day, and I adopted him.
Thanks Windlord!
It's a rewarding job in the sense that it fills my holy creed: food is for sharing.
It's rewarding to help hungry brothers and sisters.
It's rewarding to help get their water or electricity turned back on, or prevent eviction.
It's rewarding that I get to bring my girls, and that they are being raised in a humbling environment.
It's difficult to serve bad food.
It's difficult to know so many of the working class poor who are living lives with dis-eases and caught in the vicious cycle of the medical establishment, hooked on drugs when they should be hooked on good choices.
It's difficult to not say anything, or to quietly suggest something and have it ignored.
All of this ties directly into the subject of winter melons, of course. = )

Tyler is standing on a 4-wheeler submerged in a stock tank.
"The story I got was that he let his sister off, gave her his iPhone and said, 'Take a video of this'," Sheila said. "Somehow, the phone got wet and destroyed, so I haven't seen the video. I made him stand there for 45 minutes before I calmed down enough to pull him out. I still don't know how he stayed dry."

Please consider supporting me in this year's JDRF Ride To Cure Diabetes. This will be the tenth consecutive year that I will be participating ! Last year I was excited to receive an honorable mention when the coaches in Burlington, Vermont selected a rider to receive the Spirit award. Bob Parant, the recipient of the award, was truely inspirational and surely much more deserving than myself. He rode 50 miles with a prosthetic leg ! Bob has lived for more than 40 years with Type 1 diabetes.
JDRF is doing great work in order to keep Type 1 diabetics like Bob and my daughter Carly healthy while at the same time searching for a cure. Your donation in ANY amount will be greatly appreciated and well spent. I will be returning to coaching this year for the ride and am hoping to raise at least $2,000. Thank you so much for your support at this time as well as in the past.
P.S....don't miss this video to see how your donation is spent... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlNsak3UWWg

The Maroon ESTABLISHED 1923 V0L.75 NO. 21 Loyola University New Orleans FRIDAY, APRIL 11, 1997 LUCAP's citation withdrawn By PIERCE PRESLEY Staff writer The Loyola University Community Action Program started Hunger and Homeless Awareness Week by besting City Hall. After six and a half months of waiting, LUCAP won during its day in court against the City Health Office and may now feed the homeless in downtown New Orleans. Approximately 25 LUCAP members and supporters attended the proceedings in Municipal Court D on Monday. Wesley Taylor, representing the City Health Office, withdrew the citation charging LUCAP with "distributing food in a public place without a permit," a misdemeanor punishable by a $100 fine. LUCAP agreed to apply for a permit within two weeks. "They had a very weak case, trying to stop students from feeding the homeless," said the Rev. Joseph Currie, S.J., dean of Campus Ministry. "We buy it at Winn-Dixie Saturday morning and feed them that afternoon. If the grocery store meets the [health] guidelines, why don't we?" LUCAP distributes sandwiches, fruit and soft drinks to homeless people every Saturday at Lafayette Square Park in downtown New Orleans. Local residents and businesses claimed Ihe activity concentrated homeless people in the area, creating a health and environmental risk, according to Suzanne Bundy, psychology sophomore and LUCAP co-chairwoman. Julie Bourbon, LUCAP adviser, received the citation on Sept. 28. The city had filed at least three continuances in the case, said William Quigley, law professor and legal counsel for LUCAP. A continuance is a motion filed by either side to delay the trial, usually used to gain time to prepare a case. Quigley credited presiding Judge Paul Sens with "pressuring" the city to resolve the case. Sens had postponed the hearing from Nov. 12 to Jan. 29 to give LUCAP and the city time to come to an agreement. No agreement was reached by that date and the city began filing continuances. Bourbon said the vindication was worth the wait. "I'm happy with the verdict," By PATRICK CONDON LUCAP members meet the press after the city withdrew its citation of LUCAP's Hunger Relief program. Universities see varied success with honor codes By MARISA TORRIERI Sports Editor The desire to curb cheating among college students has prompted many universities to create honor codes. All universities have codes of conduct stated in their policies, but some are more liberal than others. The question of trust within an academic system makes decisions difficult for Loyola and other universities in the creation and modification of their policies. Honor codes are usually printed in * Breaking * W CodE ?art 5 of 5 « the form of a general statement that lying, cheating and related behaviors are unacceptable and should not be tolerated. Some say honor codes are symbolic of a university's values, a foundation on which a university is built and a premise for how it functions. Others say that honor codes only promote cheating by trusting students to be honest. General codes of conduct are representative of a university's philosophy of education. Although Loyola's policy toward cheating, honor and honesty varies from professor to professor, general guidelines are described in the Student Handbook. The university's policies, developed over IFC opens door for Beggars By NEAL FALGOUST Managing Editor Interfraternity Council members have conditionally approved a plan to expand Loyola's Greek system, opening the way for the Beggars fraternity to return to Loyola's campus under the auspices of a nationally recognized Greek organization Renny Simno, communication junior and Beggars president, said the Beggars' recent agreement to join a national fraternity is meant to appease the university. "We are going to be affiliated with a national fraternity to satisfy the request of the university and the IFC." he said. Beggars will have to meet certain critena over the next three semesters before making its return under a new fraternity, according to Chris Cameron, IFC adviser Eighty-five percent of the Beggars membership must complete 30 total hours of community service and attend workshops on risk management, hazing, responsible use of alcohol, sexism and racism. The organization also needs to increase the chapter grade point average by one-tenth each semester and refrain from organizing social functions. Cameron said these guidelines will help the Beggars make the transition under a new fraternity. "This is really to help the Beggars and bring them up to the concept of fraternities in the '905," he said. The university is now seeking nationally recognized fraternities interested in starting a new chapter with the Beggars . As of late Tuesday, Cameron said he had received responses from six organizations: Delta Chi, Theta Xsi, Sigma Pi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Pi Lambda Phi and Delta Tau Delta. Vincent Knipfing, vice president for Student Affairs, said that when the new fraternity is chosen, the Beggars will no longer retain its identity as such unless the Business school gives Sloan pink slip instead of gift in pre-birthday layoff By SARAH SPARKS Assistant News Editor Carroll Sloan planned to receive her five-year service award at the faculty banquet March 25. But when Sloan's receptionist position in the College of Business was eliminated the week before, she asked a friend to go in her place. "How could I sit there and listen to people saying how important staff and faculty are to the school when my job had been destroyed?" she asked. When Patrick O'Brien, business dean, presented his plan for increasing faculty publishing in the college at the University Planning Team meeting March 19, the layoffs of business school secretaries were little more than footnotes. O'Brien told UPT members the layoffs would save money for faculty research and publishing. Loyola's proposed savings did little to ease the shock for Sloan when O'Brien called her into his office March II — the day before her birthday — to break the news that her job had been dissolved. Sloan took her two weeks pay and has not worked since. "It would have been impossible to sit there and be cheerful to people coming in after what happened." Sloan said. "I made the mistake of getting personally involved with Loyola. My job was part of my life; I loved the students and the work." Without her position at Loyola, Sloan has no income or health insurance. Her daughter, a senior in high school who had already received her application from Loyola, may no longer be able lo afford tuition. "Father Knoth has promised that he will help her to get as much financial aid as possible, but of course she can't get a tuition waiver anymore." Sloan said.

What does "The Solar System" mean?
The Solar System means the system of the Sun. All bodies under the gravitational influence of our local star, the Sun, together with the Sun, form the Solar System.
Bodies? What kind of bodies?
•The largest bodies, orbiting the Sun, including Earth are called planets.
•Often smaller cool bodies called satellites or moons, orbit a planet.
•Bodies smaller than than the planets that orbit the sun are classed as
asteroids if they are rocky or metallic, comets if they are mostly ice and dust, and meteoroids if they are very small. Most comets release gases as they near the heat of sun, producing a luminous cloud called coma & often a long tail. A meteoroid that burns in Earth's atmosphere is a meteor, while one that reaches Earth without burning completely becomes a meteorite.
• After the exclusion of Pluto from the planet category, a new category is formed: Dwarf Planet.
Elements of Solar System:
Stars: (1) The Sun
Planets: (8) Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.
Dwarf Planets: (4) Pluto, Charon, Eris, Ceres- along with the numerous satellites that travels around most of planets.
Interplanetary Dust
Plasma etc.
What's Next?
In this article, I shall discuss about the Sun only. Further bodies will be discussed in Part IV & V. While, next Part i.e. PART III, will bring you into the interior of Sun. I suggest you again to read Part I of this Series.
The Sun
SnapShots & facts about the Sun:
• Sun is one of more than 100 billion stars in the giant spiral galaxy called the Milky Way.
• Sun is the center of the solar system. Its mass is about 740 times as much as that of all the planets combined.
• It continuously gives off energy in several forms- visible light; invisible infrared, ultra-violet, X-rays and γ -rays, cosmic rays, radio waves and plasma.
•The Sun generally move in almost circular orbits around the galactic center at an average speed of about 250 km per second.
•It takes 250 million years to complete one revolution round the center. This period is called a Cosmic Year.
•It's energy is generated by nuclear fusion in its interior. It is calculated that the Sun consumes about 4million tonnes of hydrogen every second. At this rate, it is expected to burn out its stock of hydrogen in about 5billion years and turn into a red giant.
