Title | Faculty Sabbatical Leave | Number | 640 |
Section | Academics | Approval Date | Mar 19,2009 |
Subsection | Faculty | Effective Date | Mar 19,2009 |
A. Sabbatical leave is an opportunity offered to qualified faculty to engage in scholarly and creative activities that will enhance their capacity to contribute to the university. Sabbatical leave is not a faculty benefit, but rather a program for professional development and creativity that benefits the entire educational enterprise and is granted by the institution in consideration thereof.
A. Utah Board of Regents Policy R821, Employee Benefits, Section 3.8
B. UVU Policy 361, Leave of Absence
A. Academic service: Cumulative time since the start of the date of hire or the amount of time since the completion of the last sabbatical leave.
B. Annual salary: Annual faculty base salary. This does not include compensation for other assignments such as overload, administrative stipends or summer contracts.
C. Appointment date: The effective Personnel Action Form (PAF) start date of an individual in a full-time, tenure-track faculty position.
D. Sabbatical leave: A paid leave of absence for one or two semesters, as approved by the Board of Trustees, for professional development and widening experience of a faculty member.
A. Eligibility
1. UVU's sabbatical program is available to all tenured faculty members with current full-time appointments to UVU.
2. The basic eligibility criteria are tenure and six (6) years of academic service in a full-time faculty position at Utah Valley University.
3. A previous sabbatical leave may, at the discretion of the vice president for Academic Affairs, be considered as a relevant factor in granting or denying a request for a sabbatical leave.
4. Sabbatical leaves are subject to availability of funds and suitable instructional replacements.
5. Upon recommendation of the department chair, the dean and the vice president for Academic Affairs, the president may waive the basic eligibility criteria when, in their judgment, unusual conditions exist which justify granting a sabbatical leave.
6. Sabbatical leaves are approved by the Board of Trustees.
7. Applying for a sabbatical leave is a competitive process, since sabbatical funding is limited.
B. Length of Sabbatical Leave
1. In or after the sixth year of academic service, faculty members may apply for one or two semesters of sabbatical leave for the following academic year. A minimum of six (6) years should elapse between sabbatical leaves regardless of the length of the leave unless extraordinary circumstances are deemed to exist by the Department Chair, Dean and Vice President for Academic Affairs.
C. Employment Status While on Sabbatical Leave
1. While on sabbatical leave, faculty members may be eligible for all general or special adjustments in salary for which they would otherwise qualify.
2. Sabbatical recipients retain UVU benefits.
3. While on sabbatical leave, a faculty member may not provide any service to UVU for additional compensation.
D. Compensation Standards
1. The college, school and department will work together to fund the sabbatical leave and the costs of instructional replacement during the absence of the faculty member.
2. For a one-semester leave, the recipient shall be compensated 100 percent of their annual base salary, prorated for one semester.
3. For a two-semester leave, the recipient shall be compensated 80 percent of their annual base salary.
4. Additional compensation for travel and cost of living away from UVU may be requested by the applicant and taken into consideration by the department chair, dean and vice president for Academic Affairs.
5. A faculty member on sabbatical leave may accept a fellowship, assistantship, research grant or similar employment, provided his/her UVU compensation and sabbatical plan are approved by the dean, the vice president for Academic Affairs, the president and the Board of Trustees.
6. A faculty member may also receive an allowance from non-UVU sources for transportation, housing and/or cost-of-living differentials, etc. Such allowances shall not affect the computation of the UVU compensation.
E. Reporting Requirements
1. Upon the conclusion of a sabbatical leave, the recipient shall file a report of his/her activities during the leave, including a summary of the benefit resulting from the leave. This report will be distributed to the department chair, dean and Vice President for Academic Affairs. Outcomes may include, but not necessarily be limited to:
a. creative works,
b. shows, exhibits,
c. articles,
d. books, or
e. under previously negotiated circumstances, a degree or progress toward a degree.
F. Obligations to return from a Sabbatical Leave
1. The recipient of a sabbatical leave must return to service at UVU for a period of time equal to the length of the leave. If he/she does not return, or returns for a shorter period of service than required, UVU will be entitled to a proportionate refund of the compensation paid during the leave. An agreement will be signed by a faculty member that states if they do not return, or return for a shorter period of service they are aware they are subject to payment of refund, attorney fees, or fees for collection efforts.
- During or after the sixth year of service, faculty may send a request for a sabbatical leave to their department chair by November 15 for sabbaticals beginning the following fall semester or by April 1 for sabbaticals beginning the following spring semester. Applications shall include the purpose of the leave, a detailed description of the activities during the leave and proposed outcomes. Faculty will be notified within ten (10) business days of the decision of the Board of Trustees according to the dates in the table at the end of this document. In cases of denial, candidates will be informed of the reasons for the denial, so they may better prepare future applications.

Yeah Kev but them things are barely 12" long :).
Yeah Kev but them things are barely 12" long :).
Still real slow. HEAVY winds, the water was stained, we only caught one keeper. We fished morning til 1:00. Winds hit 25kts and kept getting worse. I would say give it a week of no wind before you try again.
heading up today to spend 5 days fishing Folly Creek/Metomkin area--I'll let you know what's left!
Good deal. Headed down next weekend. Some fresh intel would be good.
Just got back an hour ago...fishing was SLOOOOWWW....we started out late (had my 5 year old with me) and had a flurry for an hour before the high tide with a few fish and a large number lost due to 2 newbies on the boat. Then it dies. We caught them right out front of creek headed into the flats. Had a real nice fish come off right at the drain and a few shorts on the flats. Caught one nice fish right as we were headed out of bradford bay to head up to the flats. Heard a good bite at hummocks from a reliable buddy down there but it was too late and we had to get in. Someone said they caught fish in front of the coast guard station but it seemed too early to catch them there so we didn't waste our time for an unconfirmed report. Worst day I've had down there all year, but still managed some pullage. Good luck, let's keep the thread going with fresh intel. If anyone wants more detail PM me and I'll let you know. Would be nice to have a group of guys to share info with down there. I go about twice a month so my intel isnt always as fresh as others...good luck if you go!
Thanks for the report. As soon as fishing becomes a bit more consistent I will head down again.
I fished Folly Creek area Friday-Sunday, around high tide, got acouple of keeper seach day and not much else. Seems to be the norm. USCG was doing safety checks.
Quick report......Put 10 keepers in the Box ,lost 1 keeper at the Boat and had 1 short.....Wachapreague.....Friday,Saturday....1/2 a day Sunday....Skunk...
Where were you Friday, we were out there? Sent you a PM last week, thought you might be down...Good job!

Customer Reviews | Add Your Review!
My friend bought this jacket and loves it. She looks sooo cut in it. Being a petite person she often finds jackets are too long and 'swim' on her. This fit is great. On cold, windy days there is a bit of an issue with cold going down her neck but she now wears a thick neck gaiter on those days, so problem solved!
"comfy jacket"
I purchased this jacket for my sister, the jacket is comfortable, not heavy and a perfect length. The magnet buttons and hood/cap are unique, the hood is however goofy in my sisters opinion.
"B by Burton Windsor "
I bought this jacket because I get cold easily, and this jacket it really warm. If it gets too warm, the pit vents really help. However, the only downfall to this jacket is the hood. On cold, blustery days there is no neck coverage. This jacket is best for cold, cloudy or sunny days.
"Really Nice Jacket"
Not listed as an insulated jacket, but does seem to have some and would probably be fine with just a base shirt under it. This is my first Burton jacket, and all I've tried on ran small so I bought a size bigger than usual and it fits fine. Jacket is a bit shorter than other shells, which is fine if you are short and want a jacket that doesnt hang so long. Sleeves are longer though, but have an adjusting snap. The subtle pattern in the material makes it cuter than in the picture. This is a nice jacket, and well worth the price. Grab one before they are gone.

"We could not be more pleased with this card. The paper quality is excellent, the photos look great, and the font and layout are perfect. It is a high quality, beautiful card."
"I searched long and hard to find the card design that would best feature the photo that I wanted to use. It had to have the greeting in the upper left corner and no borders. This was the perfect template. As with all Tiny Prints templates, it's an easy-to-use browser-based template that anyone can use. My only regret was that I forgot to change the font color on the back from white, so when I printed on white it was invisible. But that was my fault."
"Excellent quality and a delightful design. It was very helpful to have the variety of color combinations for the design and the options for the back side. I added photos and text to the back of my card. The coordinating envelopes and address labels were the icing on the cake. I also have to complement the excellent customer service! I couldn't be more pleased with the entire experience."
"Loved having the personalization and was able to put 3 pictures on the back while labeling them. So included the out-takes of the build up pictures prior to our final Christmas picture. It turned out great"
"I used a close-up single photo of my sons and then two photos on the back of the card. The card is simple and the colors are really beautiful and complimented the photo well. I am never disappointed with my holiday card order from Tiny Prints and this was another success."

Trane Commercial
One aspect of High Performance Buildings that is not always considered is that energy efficiency, lower environmental impact and improved productivity due to excellent Indoor Air Quality all add up to a lower total cost of ownership.
As building owners and engineers plan new projects or prepare for renovations, it's important to consider more than just the cost of buying, installing and commissioning individual elements. At Trane, we go beyond recommending products and services to meet the immediate process or comfort requirements of your building; we supply systems geared towards lowering the total cost of ownership over the entire lifecycle of the building.
Our approach is comprehensive, and includes developing products, software tools and services to support this efficient approach to your building project.
For example, our EarthWise™ systems provide efficient operation with reduced space requirements (smaller footprint), helping building owners reduce the use of resources, water and energy, saving on costs, positively impacting the environment while increasing the amount of rentable or saleable volume within the building – EarthWise™ is good business.
TRACE™ 700 software helps you more accurately model building performance and compare reduced energy usage of your systems so that you can benefit from Energy Policy Act tax deductions as approved by the US Internal Revenue Service.
Trane's financing experts can provide a Total Cost of Ownership analysis, and our Performance Agreement for Comfort from Trane (PACT™) can help you manage your total cost of renovation by guaranteeing energy savings that will finance your HVAC systems improvements.
With all of these opportunities to minimize resource usage while maximizing your investment, Trane can help you make high performance the cost effective solution for your HVAC project.
Topical, informative pieces that provide HVAC design professionals with reliable, objective, and technologically current information in a non-commercial format.

Ahh beautiful, the first barbecue of the year. Last Friday was my friend's birthday and in celebration (of him being the oldest one of the lot of us and being due for a month of ribbing before the next birthday) he hosted a barbie on Good Friday. In true barbecue tradition we got through enough stubby beers to sink a battleship and headed down to a local bar on the beach for a few more later in the evening. I've got to say it was so satisfying to tuck into that first grilled meat of the year that I'm desperate to have the house finished and get into my Saturday rituals again. Quality sausages with leafy salad in a tortilla wrap, liberally smothered with whatever sauce is currently in favour – Jack Daniels Smoky at the moment – bliss.
Despite the amount of beer consumed, three of us headed into town the next morning for an old-style 'games perv'. A couple of hours later, a few games shops down and a fresh pasty eaten, and we headed back to waste the afternoon locked away with our bounty. Well, actually we went via a garden centre to look at lizards and frogs and things, but that's by-the-by. Between us we had a reasonable haul and had spent very little money, which has got to be good. We started off with Mad World (Wii) which was a real novelty for me, because I knew it was a 'big' game, but I knew nothing about it. It's not very often I can say that. It's great though, stylised over-the-top violence and a great sense of humour. Being rewarded for finding more and more ingenious ways of combining the items littering the levels to dispatch the enemies is a nice touch. I don't think we've laughed as much playing a game for a long time, and the boss fights are pretty impressive. The music's great, the voice acting for once is not actually too terrible, and the funky black-and-white visuals are really refreshing. At the time of writing you can pick it up in Game for about £20 which is a bargain.
Our gracious host wasn't the only one playing new games, my other friend had grabbed himself a bargain copy of Fallout 3, and I treated myself to a second-hand copy of Pure. I downloaded the demo months ago and really enjoyed its mix of decent ATV physics, racing and over-the-top stunts, so I'd been looking forward to finding a cheap copy of the full game. I'm not disappointed at all in my purchase, it just builds on the demo and adds more and more to warrant a buy. The bike creation is very in depth and lots of fun. The first time I looked at it I didn't even bother building one manually, there are so many components you need to sort through and add, it was just overwhelming. But when you take your time and choose it all by hand, picking the colours and decals for literally every part, it's very satisfying to ride it and see it 'in the flesh'. The announcer is a little annoying, and due to my constant playing every spare minute I've had I've pretty much finished the championships already, so I'm not sure about the longevity, but it is great fun and a great quick-fix, which is exactly what I look for in a game now.
Good times.

You can find that dream job at our careers fair
8:20am Wednesday 4th September 2013 in News
THE Worcester News Jobs and Careers Fair, in association with Bright Assessing Ltd, will take place at the Guildhall, Worcester, on Thursday, September 19.
Following the success of the previous fair held in March, this established event, now in its 11th year, continues to give local jobseekers the chance to gather information on a variety of local employment opportunities and training and educational courses.
The fair will welcome a record number of exhibitors both new and previous alike. Richard Hencher, Worcester News recruitment manager, said: "This jobs and careers event will be the biggest we have ever hosted, with 24 exhibitors in attendance.
"We are anticipating more than 1,000 local jobseekers to attend on the day. This event is always well attended and receives lots of positive feedback and success stories from jobseekers and exhibitors."
This year's events are again sponsored by Bright Assessing Ltd, which specialises in training people to become NVQ assessors. It is exhibiting again following its success at the previous event in 2011 and 2012.
Samantha Thwaites, marketing manager said: "Bright exhibited at our first careers fair in Worcester in September, 2011, which was really successful for us. Last year we had more than 80 enquiries into our assessing course on the day from people who were looking for a job or a new career, many of whom had experienced rejection after rejection and felt we had provided them with a lifeline! Following the fair, 10 people have registered on to our assessing course which we will be helping into work as soon as they have completed the course."
There will be a wide range of local companies exhibiting at the fair and they will be on hand to talk about various career opportunities including vacancies, training courses, further education, apprenticeships and business start-ups. Jobseekers will also be able to receive advice from Claire Sharp on how to create a perfect CV. The country's largest housing provider, Sanctuary Group, are a returning exhibitor and have a range of roles for talented and motivated people. They are also offering free employability sessions to give general advice and guidance on how to apply for a job. Jobseekers can register for them.
Other exhibitors include West Mercia Police, Kanes Foods, which manufactures food for Tesco, Sainsbury's and Asda, which is recruiting for its four factories. The retail sector will be represented by Aldi and there will also be opportunities in health and social care, fostercare and childcare. The armed forces will be represented by the British Army.
The fair will be open from 10am until 4pm and admission is free. To view video footage from previous events and for travel information, visit worcesternews.co.uk/jc. For the full event preview, remember to buy the Worcester News on Wednesday, September 18.

I'm also in the middle of All Sales are Final, except I was only on day 12. When or IF they fix the online problem I'm just going to cheat the trophy, I hear it actually works. It's way, way too much of a commitment.
Live in Australia, have a fat 60GB backwards compatible PS3, internet connection is golden (I suppose none of that matters seeing as other people seem to be having the same issue). It's a real shame because I absolutely adore this game, but I have nothing more to do offline as I have obtained all offline trophies.

NVIDIA backed up its grand GeForce GTX 780 launch with GeForce 320.18 WHQL drivers, supporting all its modern GPUs. It's also being recommended as a 'day-of-launch' WHQL driver for the GTX 780. The driver introduces game-specific performance improvements for Tomb Raider (by up to 20%), DiRT Showdown (up to 20%), Metro: Last Light (up to 10%), Assassin's Creed III (up to 8%), Far Cry 3 (up to 6%), Bioshock: Infinite (up to 5%). The driver also addresses game-specific performance issues with Metro: Last Light, Dead Island: Riptide, D&D: Neverwinter, and Star Trek: The Videogame. SLI profiles are added or improved for a number of titles, including Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, Dead Island: Riptide, Dungeons & Dragons: Neverwinter, Euro Truck Simulator 2, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, GRID 2, Remember Me, Natural Selection 2, Resident Evil 6, and TrackMania² Canyon. DOWNLOAD: NVIDIA GeForce 320.18 WHQL for Windows 8/7/Vista 64-bit, Windows 8/7/Vista 32-bit, Windows XP 32-bit, Windows XP 64-bit
I'm still using the 314.07 whql on my gtx670 to avoid stability issues in BF3. I'll try these new drivers and see, although I don't see any more improvements to be had for the 680/670 models.
Played a quick round of BF3 at 1150 core and it didn't crash. My BF3 Titan experience to now has been subject to random DX11 crashes (driver related), it'll be nice if this driver stabilises that. That being said - buttery smooth.
The new driver is working great for me .. I was completely unaware of the new drivers.. Thanks for the post!
Those GTX 660/660 SLI slides keep reminding me of how wrong was I to not get that setups awhile back... Meh, anyway, here's hoping GTX 760 (SLI or not) will be at least as sweet in price/performance aspect.
New drivers are great in everything except Assassin's Creed 3 - textures get corrupted. With 314.22 everything is fine.
Thank God. I thought I was the only one having this issue. Though with the 320.00 BETA it's fine for me. No corruptions or such.

If many Juniper Networks employees feel restless and uncertain as the company restructures, Juniper's channel, by and large, is optimistic the company will sort out its problems.
Even partners that question QFabric and other ambitious Juniper products say their Juniper sales have continued to grow and that they remain committed to the vendor. Despite Juniper's financial struggles and mediocre growth, its channel partners say they still see a lot of traction with its products and support Juniper's strategy.
"We're working on some really large deals with Juniper," said Pat Grillo, president and CEO of Atrion Communication Resources, a Branchburg, N.J.-based solution provider. "I'm seeing a lot of proposals going out with Juniper on them and feeling good about the program. The program has worked for a long time, and we make some good margin. They had some turnover but they seem to have steadied it out, at least as far as what we're seeing, so we're feeling positive."
"Juniper is the fastest-growing line we have," said John O'Shea, senior vice president of sales at Vology, an Oldsmar, Fla.-based solution provider and Juniper Elite Partner and Operate Specialist. "We know they've had some issues in a few areas of the business, but it's been positive for us, especially in the last 18 months."
Vology partners heavily with Juniper for infrastructure and recently added its campus wireless product lines. Vology has not, to date, pursued Juniper's QFabric converged infrastructure system but O'Shea said the company is evaluating the technology.
"It's been a good relationship," O'Shea said. "We've had good communication with the Juniper team and we're looking [forward] to the product road map. ... There are a lot of moving parts and we expect to hear a lot of updates in the next few months so we can build our plans."
At its 2012 global partner conference, Juniper rolled out Partner Advantage, a retooled version of its overall partner program that introduced more in-depth sales and technical training and a broadened set of marketing and demand-generation tools. Advantage also includes updated compensation incentives, such as back-end rebates.
Juniper in the past 18 months also implemented what for strategic partners was a long-overdue step: making the requirements for Juniper's top-tier partnering level, now known as Elite Portfolio, more stringent. Elite Portfolio refers to partners who have certification across the entire range of Juniper products and that also have completed additional training and continuing education to further build their Juniper expertise.
Steve Pataky, vice president, worldwide channel development at Juniper, said that Juniper now has more than 12,000 partners who are "fully compliant" with Partner Advantage.
"Overall, we didn't change the structure of the requirements, but for Elite partners, the modest program requirement changes included one additional presales technical authorization and three additional continuing education courses, which can be done online remotely for free, per product specialization," Pataky explained.
The program saw significant growth in 2012, he said. Across 500 courses, partners have passed 147,791 courses. In Juniper's Marketing Concierge -- a set of marketing offerings the company provided with Partner Advantage -- Juniper completed more than 800 campaigns in 2012 and saw more than 10,000 log-ins from 1,400 partner companies. It also had 8,900 opportunities registered through the same period, Pataky added.
Emilio Umeoka, senior vice president of worldwide partners and alliances, told CRN in an e-mail that partners will see additions to Partner Advantage unveiled at this week's partner conference in Las Vegas.
"[The announcements] underscore our commitment to drive execution, growth and value for our partners around the world," Umeoka said. "These programs will ensure our more than 11,000 partners stay at the forefront of the major trends and allow greater differentiation and product innovation amidst a dynamic marketplace with new opportunities for value-added sales to increase partner profitability."
Chris Becerra, vice president of sales at Terrapin Systems, a San Jose, Calif.-based Juniper partner, said Juniper sales are between 50 percent and 60 percent of the solution provider's revenue and have stayed strong.
A lot of that strength has come behind Juniper's EX switching platforms, he said, and Juniper has been important enough to Terrapin that it decided to invest in the higher-level Elite Portfolio certification.
"A lot of companies go through that -- where they acquire more partners and then want to find out who are the committed guys versus who are the ones going after one-off-type deals," Becerra said. "That's what this process accomplished. We weren't excited about having to spend more time on Juniper resources, but we did know that once we went through it, there would be fewer folks competing at our level. We are happy with the net result."
Structured Communications Systems, a Clackamas, Ore.-based solution provider and Juniper Elite Portfolio partner, grew its Juniper business 60 percent year over year, said Bill Tracy, director of solution architecture, secure infrastructure.
Structured Communications Systems' growth is coming in both the enterprise segment, where it continues to find traction for Juniper's EX Ethernet switches, and in the service provider market, particularly tier-two and tier-three service providers with smaller footprints, such as rural telecom providers.
"It continues to be a strong value proposition against the likes of Cisco," Tracy said. "It's also a better strategy and story in many cases against a smaller competitor like a Brocade."
Structured was also among the Juniper partners that invested in the Elite Portfolio category. Juniper told partners during a 2012 meeting of its advisory council, on which Structured sits, that it wanted the Elite Portfolio class of solution providers to number in the 100 to 150 range, and Tracy said the messaging from Juniper's partner managers to Elite solution providers is that it will enforce higher-tier program requirements as a way to increase the gap between Elite and the next level of partnership.
"They've always offered good protection but it was getting to a point in the scale where it was time for Juniper to do more for the top partners," Tracy said, adding that the Elite Portfolio process had gone smoothly for Structured.
Not all partners are as confident in Juniper's long-term prospects, however.
"We are starting to move away from Juniper," said Jeff Hiebert, CEO of ROI Networks, a San Juan Capistrano, Calif.-based solution provider. "We're not doing near the volume of Juniper we once did, and some of that is that it's getting harder and harder to sell multivendor platforms."
The problem, Hiebert said, is that building data center and unified communications architectures involving Juniper means needing to partner with many more vendors to compensate for areas Juniper doesn't have. ROI Networks, for example, is a large Avaya partner for UC, and thanks to Avaya's deepening push into the data networking and infrastructure spaces, there's more incentive for ROI Networks to align its priorities with Avaya.
"We were once Elite with Juniper, now we're Select," he said. "The problem is I can't just partner with Juniper; if I sell Juniper, I also have to partner with five to eight other people."
Other partners agree that Juniper's comparatively narrow breadth of offerings will hamper its growth in the long-term.
"They will still have their loyalists, but as the industry moves to stack plays -- Cisco has a stack, HP has a stack, Oracle has a stack -- I don't see a way they ever get beyond where they currently sit unless they get acquired," said the top sales executive at a national solution provider, who asked that his name not be used. "The shift to the cloud has forced all of us to worry about margins and what manufacturers are going to survive and help us. You want to be perceived as out in front of all this with a breadth and depth that's going to make you a long-term partner. You don't want to be perceived as being in a holding pattern when there is so much transition happening."
Another Elite Partner said Juniper doesn't suffer from channel conflict but still questioned the company's future.
"It could not be a more channel-centric company," said the partner, who requested anonymity. "They have the right programs and they're getting partners to focus not just on security and not just on networking, but on what makes them special in infrastructure. We still win a lot of greenfield opportunities with Juniper. The question is do they have the right team to get them to another level? They got big enough where they got Cisco's attention. But that's not the same as taking the fight to Cisco."

Comments On Dec 03, 2013:My first pair of Tech 7s, took 3 rides to break them in fully but worth the money. Easy to use, fit my wide foot incredibly well, comfortable to wear around all day on and off the bike. Will definitely look at buying these again when the time comes.

Comments On Oct 30, 2013:I ordered these because I didn't wanna spend 400+ on the tech 10s. These boots are really comfortable and break in easily. I would recommend these if your looking for a great pair of boots. Only downfall to these is there hard to unbuckle at the end of the day, hopefully they get easier over time.

Comments On Oct 01, 2013:These are the most comfortable boots for wide feet. Instantly feels broken in. The protection is good, not the best, but good. I hit a rock poking out the side of a trail with the outside front toe, although it hurt like hell, my toe was not broke. Overall a good compromise over a Tech 10, or 8, if you're moto only you might want the increased protection the 10/8 offers . Way more comfortable out of the box. I had my old pair for about 2 years before replacing, so I think they are pretty durable. Obviously people will have differing opinions on durability.

Comments On Sep 04, 2013:I have been riding in tech 3's and got tired of the breaking so decided to spend a little bit more and get the tech 7's. it was a great choice the are comfortable and easy to use buckles.

text: Administrator Laurel Fretz , now the principal at Santa Monica High School, continues to wreak havoc on excellent, well-functioning academic programs. She recently placed the popular photography teacher there on administrative leave with no explanation to parents or students, cancelled the world-famous photographers he had lined up to speak to the program, and replaced him with a sub (for two months) who knew nothing about photography. Even as parents and students unanimously clamor for his return, and/or some explanation, the most she has done is bring in a new sub with better skills. We fear the teacher will not be reinstated. The only comment from Fretz and School Superintendent is that personnel matters cannot be discussed.

Tucked away from the crowded, noisy hotel strip, Paradera is a quiet oasis away from it all. You need a rental car but Amigo and Econo rental offer cheap... options. I wouldn't stay anywhere else on the island unless I owned my own home there. Debbie and Hank are consummate hosts!! No other hotel gives you beach chairs and a cooler for the length of your stay. And the grounds are beautiful!! Erica - New York, NY さんのコメント ( 2013/08/30)

Tampa Bay News, Weather, and Sports | WFLA
(970WFLA) A 36-year-old man is missing after a sinkhole collapsed a house and consumed the bedroom where he slept late Thursday night. Firefighters have been on the scene all night, at 240 Faithway Drive in Brandon.
Jessica D'Amico with Hillsborough County Fire Rescue says the man's brother heard the screams and climbed into the sinkhole to search. Hillsborough deputies ended up pulling that man out of the hole.
Bracken Engineering estimates that the sinkhole is 100 feet across, underground, with a 15 foot hole at the surface, inside the house. They estimate the hole to be 50 feet deep. The hole has collapsed the interior of the house swallowing two bedrooms but most of the exterior walls remain standing.

Should NCAA players unionize in an effort to get paid? A Union of Amateurs: A Legal Blueprint to Reshape Big-Time College Athletics by Nick Fram and Thomas Frampton presents surprising research regarding state-level paths to player unionization and pay. A recent article in Salon, "Madness of March: NCAA Gets Paid, Players Don't," relies heavily on their cutting edge research to suggest an avenue to empower student-athletes: "Rather than corrupting 'amateurism,' Fram and Frampton argue, unionization offers a path to preserve its best aspects: protecting the league from legal crisis while providing players a forum to defend their academic pursuits and their physical and emotional health."

Lyons artist Tyler Voorhees will be the featured artist at The Stone Cup beginning this Friday, March 1. His show will hang for two months, through the end of April.
From his humble beginnings in rural South Dakota, Voorhees has always been drawn to the art of storytelling. With his paintings, and the characters that inhabit them, he seeks to spin a visual yarn by drawing the viewer in with the composition, and holding their attention with the details. His mixed media paintings depict jobs now forgotten by the majority of Americans, made obsolete by advancements in technology (which are also hidden in the paintings). These occupations existed a mere century ago, yet they have fallen to the wayside in the collective memory of our society.

Uhhh, that´s great, uhhhhhh.
Agreed #1. I wondered if she would be able to utter one coherent sentence.
That´s just a place to park Caroline until she replaces Ruth Buzzi Ginsburg on the Supreme Court.
Well, um, you know, um, I don´t, you know, think they´ll, um, be able to, um, pry her out of Manhattan and the Hamptons, you know.
Obama has not paid off the Kennedys for Teddy´s early endorsement against Hillary. Pay up, Barack! Kennedys aren´t getting enough press!
She can resume doing bizness with the her booze smugglers her grandpappy knew.
Has this air headed worthless twit ever held a real job? Oh, I just answered my own question -- of course not, she´s a Kennedy.
God help the Republic!
Perfect Fit!...considering her DNA contains Canadian Whiskey, passed down from her grandpappy!
No worries people, I have this one covered......Caroline, to get to Canada, simply head West first, then turn North.There you go, she´ll never find it now........
And the country is covered up with career int´l relations people, smart geography and international studies professors, and experienced business men and we end up be represented by some ditzy tootsie because she´s named Kennedy. If we don´t raise hell about this, we are causing this country´s death-spiral.
Why do we need an ambassador to Canada? Can anyone name one former ambassador to Canada? Seems like a waste of money.
..."well uh, you know, uh I´m so happy to be elected ambassador of, you know...Canadia that uh, well you know...since Canadia is such a uh, you know...cool place to be and some of my uh, you know...best friends are Canadianites, and you know, uh...I´ve always wanted to work us...overseas."
Rounding out her resume, grooming her for bigger things, I see.I think that even an inexperienced incompetent nitwit like Kennedy would have a hard time screwing up this post. Not exactly like ambassador to China.Hopefully she won´t start a trade war, or launch a Bay of Fundy invasion, like her dad´s Bay of Pigs.Maybe she´ll learn to say "Eh?" instead of "ugh".
PERFECTO..Rich,Incompetent,Leftist and a Kennedy...voila a surefire choice
Maybe they´ll keep her.
Ofcourse!! She supported this liar-in-chief
Grandpa Joe made his fortune bootlegging Canadian booze during Prohibition. So without Canada, we would never have had the Kennedy family as we know it. So I guess this makes sense.
Payback time. She´s just one more box of rocks.
Um. Do they chew, um, gum in Canada?
um.. ah.. umm..Geez!! the democrats always go for the least qualified person!
Send her to ireland where she can continue her dear uncle´s job of funneling money to terrorist (ira) organizations.
What do we have against Canada?
Bam Bam sure does like to insult our closest allies.
Actually, how bad could she screw that up? She just needs to serve good food and wine and keep her mouth shut.
Good one, #19.At least Caroline won´t have to pretend to learn another language, eh?
Thanks #11
Great! Based on exactly what experience and skill set???
I learned much more listening to my cat than from any interview she gave. Not fair to my cat, I know.
Boring!! Caroline Kennedy is uninspiring to listen to; she has a boring and unexpressive voice, much like Hillary Clinton.
We actually do not need an ambassador to Canada, but Caroline mentioned she has nothing to do and asked if Obama could help, requiring a job that mainly required doing nothing but having others provide an entertainment and amusement venue.
Internet rumor is that she will appear on the Red Carpet at the Academy Awardslater this month, trying ever harder to resemble, ohhh, say... Jennifer Aniston...And she will say..."It´s an honor just to be nominated...You know? I mean, really... You know?Barack reallllly must like me... You know?"
Can´t get the Kennedys far from the public teat.Maybe she canh join "Joe for Oil" in touting what a great guy Chavez is. She can get him cheap oil from Canada to further enrich the family non profit.
This is kind of mean. What did Canada do to deserve her? Obama´s probably mad at them for producing so much oil and wanting to pipe it here.
Is she going to move there? Does she even know where Ottawa is? Or will she just commute from New York? I´m guessing the latter.
Ummm - - like - - you know - - do they really - - like - - do they really say "eh?" in Canadia?Like - - ummm - - do I like have to say that too?
She can´t put one intelligent sentence together. Dumb as a box of rocks.
How do you spell Canada?C-eh-N-eh-D-eh
What a colossal embarassment! Now it seems that Obumbler is not just content with humiliating one of our best allies (the Brits) but is also intent on stiffing another of our best allies and our neighbors to boot. I can just hear her now "Keystone? Oh isn´t that the nuclear power plant you want to blow us all up with?"
Nepotism on the rise or is this a joke?!!Americans have always been wary of nepotism, monopolies and such, for good reason. Merit should be the criteria in Government, NOT favoritism!
And her qualifications are?
Ambassador to Cana-duh
You people seem to have forgetten that theKenyan Klown told Governor Paterson to appoint Caroline to the vacant senate seat when hillary went to State.Paterson dissed the prezzie, and appointed Kirsten Gillibrand, the chameleon democrat. President Hologram then undercut Paterson,(who had replaced the sex fiend as governor)and made sure Paterson could not raise campaign funds to run for a full term as governor, so paterson withdrew.
Unfortunately, the name Kennedy more than compensates for her being a stupid, inarticulate twit. Why doesn´t she call herself Caroline Schlossberg?
Well, it doesn´t matter as Ambasadorships seldom require heavy thinking...in fact the jobs don´t require anything but a tase for liquor and a bend-over capability to please the other countries leadership. Caroline will fit just fine with the suck-up/bend over crowd.
she won´t be able to do much damage in Canada as the progressives have already taken over that country, besides maybe she will spend most of her time canoeing and watching hockey games.
She is a member of "Canadian Club" by DNA...
She will have to learn how to speak Canadian. Hey, it´s easier than learning Austrian
Gosh, I love you guys!
I seem to have read somewhere recently that there was another ambassador position open.,.can´t remember where that was. But at this point, what does it matter?
Apparently a tangible record of accomplishment are necessary to become an ambassador. I guess it´s only fair, seeing how low Stinky has set the bar to become president.
Canada is our friend. They are next door to us, above us on the global map. And they are our friend. Why does Obama hate them?On a totally unrelated matter, anyone know if and when we are going to replace our Ambassador in Benghazi?
Isn´t it strange that pure genius just runs so deep in this glorious family. They have a visible glow and are worthy of our worship. The Kennedys must be purebreds . Chelsea Clinton is another, defended from our finest stock, with both parents being only a step or two below God . We are so fortunate they walk among us mortals. We gaze at them in wonder.
It´s kind of funny, really. For those of us who were around, for decades after JFK got popped, there was no reason to question Caroline´s media-created class or intelligence. We assumed it. Then a few years ago, she opened her mouth publicly and exposed herself as the vapid, brain-dead twit she is.
And, Ed Klein´s book said Caroline hated the Obamas!
Like. Wow
Gee we were hoping that it would be annointed Feral Gov.nyet Pol Pot and Idi Amien Museum Pot Cleaner.

The University of Newcastle celebrates Central Coast graduates
Almost 500 students will celebrate the completion of their studies at the Central Coast campus on Wednesday 29 June.
Recognising the unique partnership between the University of Newcastle, TAFE NSW – Hunter Institute and the Central Coast Community College, students across the three institutions will gather at Ourimbah to celebrate their achievements.
Pro Vice-Chancellor Central Coast campus, Professor Stephen Crump, said graduation was a highlight of the year.
"Graduation ceremonies are a time for students to celebrate and reflect on their achievements as they enter a new stage of their lives. I congratulate them all and wish them well for the future."
Of the 465 students graduating, 399 have completed University of Newcastle programs, 58 have completed TAFE qualifications and a further eight are graduating from the Central Coast Community College.
Embargoed until Wednesday 29 June 2011
► Single mother overcomes needle phobia to become nurse
Single mother of five children Jaculin Perceval was petrified of needles, but had a dream of becoming a nurse.
After her youngest child was diagnosed with Type One Diabetes, the Woongarrah mum was forced to face her fears to administer his insulin injection. This inspired her to enrol in a Bachelor of Nursing at the University of Newcastle Central Coast campus.
"It was then that I realised that giving needles didn't hurt me one bit, so I decided to fulfil my dream of becoming a nurse," Ms Perceval said.
For the last six months, Ms Perceval has worked as a paediatric nurse at the John Hunter Children's Hospital and will begin her honours studies in the field later this year.
"Children are the best patients. They are very trusting and I enjoy being able to provide care that maintains and builds the trust they have in the medical profession."
Ms Perceval said she has achieved her dream with the steadfast support of her children who range in age from nine to 17 years.
"I am pleased that with the support of my lecturers and tutors, combined with the hard work of all of my family I have been able to show my children that any dream is attainable if you set your mind to it," she said.
"My kids will be at the graduation to celebrate with me because gaining my degree is their achievement as well."
Ms Perceval will graduate on Wednesday 29 June at 10am.
► Scientific approach to feeding the world
Mandi Palmer's work ends up on the dinner tables of thousands of people both here and overseas.
Working for one of the world's most recognised brands at the Heinz cannery in Wagga Wagga, the former Central Coast teacher, uses the knowledge she gained from studying a Bachelor of Food Science and Human Nutrition to ensure the products are safe for the consumer to eat.
"My main role is testing the corned beef that is the primary product of this factory, to make sure that it is safe for consumption. The product is really popular with people in the Pacific Islands."
Ms Palmer has worked with food for most of her adult life and, after completing a Bachelor of Education Home Economics and Design and Technology, taught at Henry Kendall High School at Gosford before returning to university study.
She excelled in her degree, gaining a High Distinction average, was awarded a scholarship and named on the Faculty of Science and Information Technology commendation list each year of her degree.
"I really enjoyed my 12 years of teaching but was always more interested in the science of food and working in a laboratory setting, so this job is ideal for me."
Ms Palmer will graduate on Wednesday 29 June at 2pm.
► Roland proves you are never too old to learn
Roland Coss will celebrate two milestones this week - the completion of a tertiary preparation program at the University of Newcastle Central Coast campus and his 79th birthday.
The retiree gave up "endless games of golf" to become a full-time student last year, completing the Intensive Open Foundation Program that gave him the skills and marks he needed to enrol this year in the Bachelor of Arts program at the Central Coast campus.
The grandfather and retired wool buyer and exporter is focussed on gaining top marks in his studies so he can transfer to study law.
"I will not stop until I have my law degree," Mr Coss said.
"I have always had an interest in torts and the history of the law and came to the decision last year that studying this fascinating area would be my new focus."
Mr Coss does not own a computer and has had to learn how to use email, the internet and online education tools to submit his assignments.
"I was a wool buyer and exporter for most of my life where I would use a barame (a calculation tool) and a pencil. Learning to use the technology has been a challenge but I get a lot of support from other students and the University's IT help desk," he said.
"I still do my research the old fashioned way. I look for books in the library and write my notes and first draft of my assignments by hand."
Mr Coss will graduate with a statement of attainment from the Intensive Open Foundation Program on Wednesday 29 June at 6pm.

settled into my airplane seat, wearing my still-new polyester suit, dress shirt, tie and shoes. Hey, I'd only paid $146 for the whole outfit that morning. And guess what happened because of it? Let me step back.
I had a week of city hops with a mix of keynotes and corporate magic shows. My last leg—Bentonville, Arkansas— featured a program for a fairly large international retailer. Now, stuff happens when you fly and, sometimes, stuff doesn't happen. Late this evening, worriedly waiting in LaGuardia airport, I knew I had no time for delays. That's when I saw the gate agent pull out hotel room vouchers.
"I have an keynote at 8: 30 tomorrow morning. I don't think so," I groaned.
So, I politely asked the agent, "Where can you fly me to tonight that's within a six-hour drive of Bentonville." St. Louis? OK! So off I ran to the departure gate while calling the rental car company. The clerk happily quoted the " frustrated-I'll-take-anything-and-leave-your-car-in-another-city" rate. Between air and car, I should arrive in Bentonville by 5: 30 a.m.
"owns" this city. Coincidentally, most people in my morning audience work for this retailer. Screech! Once inside the store, I quickly found the business attire section and selected clothes for my program that would start in hours. Shortly thereafter, I sported a brand new suit, dress shirt, tie (not clip-on) and shoes—all for the amazing total of $146.
But I didn't feel comfortable. First, I was self-conscious about my dress and didn't want people to think I was a fake. Second, I felt hot ( polyester doesn't breathe) and I hadn't even stepped on stage. My outfit was far from perfect—but baby, it's showtime.
"What should your opening speakerwear? A custom-made Brooks Brotherssuit or an off-the-rack selection from asuper store?"Then I explained, "Well, I wantedto experience how your customers feel… for real. So I purchased this wholeoutfit there this morning for only$146. Your store totally topped myexpectations." Before I could finish,people stood up excited, cheering andscreaming.
No planned ending could have topped that Standing O!
Hours later, I flew home wearing my hot polyester suit. I reminded myself that every audience has expectations— and speakers take the stage to top them.
Once on stage, I launched into myprogram creating showtime moments.But in my mind, uneasy questionsstirred. "Will they know where thisoutfit came from? If I dare tell them,will they be insulted, proud or disin-terested? Will I be embarrassed andshunned? Will this suit fall to piecesbefore I finish? I'd better not risk it."During a two-second pause near theend of my program, my brain raced tothoughts about my wardrobe. In a flash,I gambled and asked the audience,
Jon Petz, Chief Engagement Officer of Bore No More!™, applies SHOWTIME moments to help people in organiza- tions wildly exceed customer expectations. A keynote speaker, event emcee, and comedy/magic entertainer, Petz is the author of Boring Meetings Suck. Visit www.BoringMeetingsSuck.com or contact Petz at email@example.com.
I'd already checked my bag with my clothes in it, but at least I had my speech necessities at hand. Now, I'd better prepare an opening joke and an explanation for wearing jeans and a t-shirt.
As I drove into Bentonville, I passed a 24-hour retailer—the one that
