California State University Statement on Legislative Budget Conference Committee Action On Higher Education
Claudia Keith (562) 951-4800
(August 5, 2010) - Following yesterday's approval by the Legislative Budget Conference Committee for full funding of Governor's Schwarzenegger's May budget proposal for higher education, California State University Chancellor Charles B. Reed issued the following statement:
"We are very appreciative of the Conference Committee's actions, and want to commend them for making funding for the CSU a priority in their budget plans," said Reed. "Throughout the budget process, we have advocated that the timely enactment of this budget would allow our campuses to serve an additional 29,000 students. Last week, we made the decision to open all of our campuses for spring 2011 applications so that we are prepared to accommodate as many students as possible if the Legislature restores funding for the CSU without extended delay. This will ensure that we have eligible students, particularly undergraduate transfers, in the admissions pipeline and ready to enroll for next spring."
The Legislative Budget Conference committee approved the Governor's proposed budget for higher education, which restores $305 million above current year funding for the CSU, as well as an additional $60.6 million for enrollment growth.

A Message for my Children. ~ Julie McBroom
Source: bluecaleel.com via Madison on Pinterest
I want the world to be your classroom.
Don't be afraid to step off the path taken by most. Allow your curiosity and passions to lead the way and navigate you to places that are rich in meaning according to your unique spirit. Walk with confidence in your heart knowing that anything is possible and that every experience, from the highest highs to the lowest lows, will contribute to your growth and shape who you become.
Know that many people will cross your path in life. Some will hurt you, betray you and some will confuse you. Not all people are meant to stay in your life forever. However, they all will have a purpose.
Be grateful for the lesson and don't stick around.
Surround yourself with those you're drawn to because they lift your spirit, encourage and inspire you, make you feel alive and bring out the best in you. Cherish and nurture these people – they love you for who you are and they allow your spirit to shine as it should.
Respect differences in other people's choices and park your judgment, it will never serve you. Your way is not superior, simply one of many. You can't change or control other people's behavior, so don't waste your energy trying. Focus on what you can control—your own reactions and attitude.
There's only so much you can learn within four walls and one town, city or country. Respect other cultures and embrace the people. Take time to get to know them—there's something truly beautiful about having a strong connection with someone that is from a completely different world than you.
Be abundant in perspective and compassion and aim to make a difference, one person at a time. It will humble you and you will appreciate what you have. Aspire for humility and gratitude—you cannot put a price on either and they will make you wealthy for life.
See through materialism and value the things that are truly important in life—relationships, love, nature, experience and adventure. At some stage in your life, it may seem important to wear certain brands and buy the latest trends but living life to the fullest is what brings the type of happiness that "stuff" cannot come close to.
My advice is to not rush into marriage or motherhood. They both require a lot of hard work and you can no longer think only of yourself. Enjoy those young wonderfully selfish years in your 20's—you cannot get them back. Choosing a life partner will be one of the most important decisions in your life. Live a little first and know who you are and what's important to you.
Be good to your parents (especially me, your mother). Even though there will be many times when all you want to do is roll your eyes and give me a piece of your mind, know that the love I have for you is the type of love that is impossible to put into words. Only when you have your own children will you fully understand the depth of my love for you.
Don't let those beautiful spirits stop shining,
Your mother

Home For the First Time
I went home to Sacramento this past weekend and felt much more normail than expected. Many of my college friends say that everything changes once you move out- your room feels odd, there's a feeling of missing Berkeley, and everyone treats you like an outsider- but I didn't feel any of those. I couldn't believe my sister actually missed me! She's 4 years younger and very involved in high school already- as busy as a senior. The rest of my family tried to cater to my wishes.. like getting Halloween decorations out and asking me what I wanted to do.
Being home made me recognize my accomplishments (hahemm..) and experiences of college so far. It's summarizing two months to neighbors using one sentence.
The worst part of going home, though it was really on the 'coming back' part of the journey, was the transportation. My arrival to my dorm room was delayed by an hour and a half!! All because I have no experience on deboarding trains and buses! I stood up with my heavy large three bags on the second floor of the Amtrak train from Sacramento, when it arrived at the Berkeley station (which is beautiful). I moved quickly and a man coming on the train and upstairs let me go past first, but I was too late! the doors were already shut and I couldn't open them. No buttons. No cord. No helpful train conductor or anything! I just yelled and looked everywhere, but resigned myself when I heard, to my luck, that the Emeryville stop was 4 minutes away. I got off there, spoke with a generous ticket man who said I could catch a train at 8pm (it was 7:15 at the time), for free.
I did catch that one, and found the AC transit bus stop easily enough, but couldn't deboard that one on time either because of so many people on it.
Well..now I'm an experienced public transit college student and know better than to wait until a vehicle comes to a complete stop before standing up.

Aquatic Ecosystems and Fisheries
Two intertwined issues confront managers of aquatic ecosystems: how to set the annual catch limits for various fisheries before the size of the return is accurately known, and how to rescue salmon runs and west coast groundfish stocks listed under the Endangered Species Act – a task that has embroiled political leaders throughout the region.
As a result of research conducted by the Climate Impacts Group (CIG), we are beginning to understand how climate affects marine conditions and fishery productivity and abundance. Regional leaders also benefit from CIG's progress in understanding how climate affects streamflows – an important area of concern for the freshwater phase of the salmon life cycle.
The primary objectives of CIG's research on aquatic ecosystems are to:
- Examine the relative utility of salmon restoration strategies in the face of human-caused habitat and climate changes due to both natural and anthropogenic forcing,
- Determine how climate variations affect the survivability of Pacific Northwest (PNW) salmon throughout their lifecycle (i.e., in streams, estuaries, and the coastal and open ocean),
- Characterize the role of climate in the Washington-Oregon coastal marine ecosystem, and
- Increase the effectiveness of resource management decisions and the resilience of crucial ecosystems.

I have accepted the fact that Tim Thomas personal convictions have eroded his performance and relationship with the organization this past year. I bear no judgement on him as a man, because I don't know him personally. I share with many BRUINS fans a sense of frustration and confusion relative this saga. He is still a young man (I am nearly twice his age) and he's on a much bigger stage than I, so he is open to much more scrutiny. I will however, always remember some of the saves he made throughout that championship run. As I have posted before his efforts provided the fans with one of the greatest performance in hockey history. You are either a juvenile, or you just write like one.

Toasted Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 20 mins
I've made this recipe from Ladies Home Journal for the past 15 years. My original copy is half burned (a little problem toasting the coconut) so I thought I better get this published. The cookie dough is so delicious; tastes like a candy bar. The toasted coconut takes it to new heights!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup coconut
- 1 cup shortening
- 1⁄2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
- 1⁄2 cup white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 3⁄4 teaspoon coconut extract
- 1 1⁄2 cups oatmeal
- 1 1⁄4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Toast coconut in a medium skillet over low heat, until light brown.
- Let cool.
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- In large bowl or mixer, on low speed, mix all ingredients (except chocolate chips) together (with the shortening being soft, it mixes easily and does not have to be creamed first).
- Stir in chocolate chips.
- Drop level 1/4 cups dough, about 2-inches apart, on ungreased cookie sheet, pressing dough lightly to form rounds.
- Bake 15-20 minutes or until golden.
- Let cool a couple of minutes. Transfer cookies to cooling rack to finish cooling.

I used 1/2 butter and 1/2 shortening. My cookies did not come out crispy, but soft and chewy. I only used a couple drops of coconut extract because that is all that was left in the bottle, but because it is very strong, they still had a lot of coconut flavor.
Wow! Over the top delicious!! I doubled the recipe as I needed a bigger batch for company. I also toasted the coconut in the oven...worked great. Instead of chocolate chips, I used Hershey milk chocolate bars, chopped. I really think that the toasted coconut added that extra punch of flavor! Thanks!
I replaced the shortening with margarine and decreased the chocolate chips to 1.5 cups as suggested by other reviewers. These cookies were so yummy and so easy! I did expect there to be more coconut taste especially with the coconut extract, but they were still very tasty! I think next time I may try adding toasted almond slivers as well. Taking these to my in-laws later today. I hope they like them as much as we did!

My wedding is August 6, 2011 and I'm on a tight budget. I need to know what foods can I serve at the reception?
By Sherika from Lagrange, GA
By anne [58] 04/22/2011
Go to Sam's, they have everything you'll need at a reasonable price. Anne
By Diane [15] 04/22/2011
I used to own a wedding catering business so I hope I can help you. I would serve little chicken salad sandwiches and before you say Yuk...do the following. Find a recipe for Cream Puffs and make tiny ones (approx 2") and instead of filling them up with cream filling you will be slicing them in half and filling them with a chicken salad mixture using chopped/cooked chicken breasts, celery, chopped onions (optional) and whatever seasoning you might like. I have used eggs in the salad as well. Then you just use a tiny meatball scoop or Tblsp. to scoop into the cream puffs.
Now for the punch. Go straight to your local ice cream plant or grocery store and get the largest 2 1/2 gal. of whatever sherbet you choose that will match your wedding colors or if you can't find a match just pick something close. Then you mix that with either frozen pineapple juice and either 7-up or something similar. It ends up being like a frappe and is very yummy. I have even made variations to include almond flavoring or rum flavoring etc. You get the picture.
The above things you can do ahead of time so you don't have to do it on the day before or so. You can freeze the cream puffs up to two weeks before the wedding and just take them out the morning of. Fill them as you use them so you won't have lots of soggie sandwiches to take home that you didn't use. That way you can refreeze the puffs and use whatever is left as a salad or in the puffs at a later date.
I wish you the best and if I can be of any further help please let me know.

My husband's niece is getting married October 15, 2005, she has just informed her grandmother that she is going to take care of the reception. I still have all the decorations from my wedding so we will be using those, but we really need some cheap food ideas. As of now, I don't even know what time of day this wedding is supposed to be taking place. Please help!

Then make a ham spread for one layer and an egg salad for another layer. Layers are: bread, ham, bread, egg, bread. Then wrap in Saran wrap and freeze them for a up to a week ahead of time. Take them out the morning of the wedding and they will be firm enough to cut and fresh and soft to serve! The tuna triangles are made on regular sliced bread, however, I also ordered this from the bakery and requested it to be sliced like normal, but no crusts. Again, make the tuna and freeze for up to a week prior. Take out that morning and they are perfect for cutting and serving again too! Just make sure when you freeze them that you wrap tightly! (09/23/2005)
By Rhonda
You can also make little cream puffs ahead, freeze them, then the day of the reception, fill with tuna, chicken, and/or ham salads.
Make cheese balls from cream cheese and onion, ranch dressing mix, Italian salad dressing mix, etc., and cover with the tube type of crescent roll dough. Be sure the cheese ball is well sealed in the dough, paint with beaten egg and bake till the dough is golden. I would spray the baking dish very well with Pam as egg can stick. When you cut into the ball, the cheese inside is nice and oooey-gooey! Just serve with crackers, etc.
For the entree, try either lemon or five-spice chicken. Both of those are easily seasoned and baked during the wedding and ready to eat at the reception. If you are living in the Midwest, buy chicken at Aldi's. It is pretty inexpensive there. If you are having a large wedding reception, ask a small, local butcher if they can cut you a break if you get a quantity of one thing.
Good luck to you all, and may God bless the happy couple in their lives together. (09/23/2005)
By Margie
Bake wontons in cupcake pan at 350 degrees F for 5 minutes or until golden brown. Brown sausage and drain. Add remaining ingredients and heat through until cheese is melted. Keep filler in warm container until ready to eat. A decorative basket can hold the wontons. Add sour cream for a topper. (09/23/2005)
By Jennifer CA
Also just another suggestion that I saw there also, since it was low budget they made it look really nice at the reception by setting the tables with paper plates, not tacky ones, they were a large round burgundy one and a small gold one on top of that. The people just found their seat and when it was time they took their plates to the buffet line and served themselves. This also cut the cost because people only had those plates, so one trip to the line. I have pictures if you can't get the visual of paper plates, but they're actually nice ones out there. OK, one more thing; if they are doing favors place the favor at their seat on the table that way you can control stingy hands! So sorry for the long post I hope it helps. If you need any other advice let me know. Good luck! (09/29/2005)

Lab Planning
by gwilson on Feb.20, 2010, under A Day in the Life...
Campus architect Rick Weatherl brought the floorplan for the lab renovation by yesterday for me to review. We are at the stage where we know pretty well where the walls will be. Now we have to figure out how to make those spaces as efficient and effective as possible for course delivery. We've gone from what the spaces might look like to now having to consider how do we make them work.
One feature we chose to include in our design was a concept first seen at a Project Kaleidoscope facilities conference at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, MN. UST had just completed a $39M building and hosted the meeting to show off their facilities. Being a microbiologist, I've always been on the lookout for effective lab designs that would work for my courses. Their microbiology lab had several features I thought particularly useful, and when combined with some of the things I liked best about the Texas A&M lab renovation from my time there gave me an overall approach to the new labs that we all believe will help us deliver exciting and effective courses.
In particular, we wanted our labs to allow faculty and student research. So, we developed spaces for students to set up projects (see PROJ at left) that would not interfere with other courses being taught in the same lab (a UST feature). We also wanted an anteroom where students could come and check on their cultures and do day-to-day work while other labs were in session (an A&M feature, see PREP at left). And we wanted our labs to be useful not just for hands-on labwork but also to be comfortable enough to also serve as our lecture space (a UST feature). We are adding a few ideas of our own – flat panel TV/monitors on the walls instead of digital projectors for greater definition when projecting bacterial images; cardswipe entry to allow students into zones of the spaces for conducting research after-hours. We've also decided printing out research posters (our students often do this as their lab report format) makes little sense when they can be fed by computer into flat panel monitors on the walls in the halls. So, our labs will be high-tech and versatile. As our architect put it, "When someone walks into the front doors of our building, those flat panels would scream, 'science is going on here'." No longer will this be a static, lifeless place.
It is exciting to be part of this transformation of spaces. But it is even more exciting to be part of a program that is fearless about trying new approaches to find what works to build student learning. The spaces are different for a reason and purpose because our programs are different for a reason and purpose.
Micro Student Projects
by gwilson on Apr.27, 2009, under Projects
The end of the semester always bring forth a new crop of student research projects from the BIOL 3410 Microbiology lab. The first portion of the course's lab is filled with projects to teach skills and knowledge. Then, in the last 5 weeks of the semester student groups design, conduct, analyze, and present their work.
All of these projects were imagined and conducted by students. They demonstrate the freedom students have in Microbiology to have some fun by using their skills to investigate more deeply an area of the course that was of particular interest to them along the way. Here's a synopsis of some of the projects conducted this spring.
"The inhibition of mannitol use in a Gram positive coccus by bacitracin." One group of students made a very curious observation when they were testing their unknown bacteria for antibiotic susceptibility. One person's Staphylococcus aureus was unable to use mannitol on MSA in the presence of bacitracin. No other Gram positive cocci, including other strains of S. aureus, showed this unusual feature. Their work investigated the phenomenon.
"Growth of bacterial cells in the presence of pomegranate and UV light." This group wanted to test the effectiveness of pomegranate juice as an anticancer agent by using DNA damage induced by UV light as their indicator for cell transformation. They grew cells on media containing pomegranate extract, collected them and exposed them to UV light, and then tested their survival in comparison to controls.
"Growth and identification of bacteria isolated from raw vegetables." With the recent scare posed by Salmonella appearing in foods, this group decided to see whether any particular vegetables posed a greater threat in carrying those bacteria. They found many bacteria and fungi, identified many of the bacteria, but found the vegetables tested were free from Salmonella.
"Impact of tobacco products on the growth of bacteria." Various tobacco products were added to growth media and growth curves were conducted to determine whether bacterial growth was retarded or enhanced.
These projects are indicative of the types routinely seen – students applying the skills learned in the course to study something of interest to them. Are health supplements really effective? Are my vegetables safe? Do the chemicals in tobacco hurt cell growth? If we accomplish in our courses the transference of knowledge to provide answers pertaining to the world at large, we have accomplished education's greatest goal.
BIMS 1101 A Hit With Students!
by gwilson on Mar.24, 2009, under A Day in the Life..., Projects
This spring, Dr. Tom Benoit is teaching BIMS 1101 Unicellular Organisms Lab. It is a standalone lab that accompanies the BIOL 1301 Unicellular Organisms Lecture; required for Biomedical Science majors but elective for everyone else. In its first time taught, the class has become a roaring hit with BIMS students who enjoy the liberty of designing and conducting experiments, recognize the breadth of skills being learned, and appreciate the practical approach to applying knowledge in an experimental setting.
This lab features a "tourist's view" of the world of one-celled critters. The course for freshmen started with an introduction to bacteria - students building Winogradsky columns and learning aseptic technique and staining procedures. From there, students isolated and observed fungi and moved on to protists. Though many freshman courses show passing interest in one or two of these organisms, it is a rare course that is so completely devoted to their biology. In BIMS 1101, fundamentals of prokaryotes, fungi, and protists – their cell structure and physiology, taxonomy, and classification – all take center stage under one roof.
Students love the research-rich approach and hands-on work, due in no small part to Dr. Benoit. He has divided the class into research teams to conduct experiments, with the prep work of making media and solutions being part of their effort. As with other BIMS courses, skills build upon skills. All that has been learned will be put to the test when research teams undertake their final project – the isolation and selection of the fastest Chlamydomonas cultures they can find. The semester's main event will be held at the end of April: Chlamy races, with the winning team being crowned Checkered Flag-ella Champions 2009. Stay tuned for updates and the outcome!

A critical key to obtaining fair compensation in a wrongful death case is to prove that the accident was caused by an act of negligence. We do this by demonstrating that the responsible party owed a duty of care to the victim. Our lawyers will build a case to show that reasonable care was not taken and that the death was the direct result of that lack of care. Our legal opponents know from the record that we will take a case to trial if necessary to get the compensation that our clients are entitled to after a wrongful death.
After a Wrongful Death Claim: Compensation for Accident Victims' Suffering and Estate Issues
In addition to seeking the compensation mentioned earlier, we are willing to file additional claims if the victim suffered prior to death. These are actually second claims brought on behalf of the estate to seek additional compensation for pain and suffering.
We work to address estate administration matters. Our attorneys help families ensure that a loved one's assets are passed on appropriately, including proceeds from wrongful death claims that are paid to the estate.
No-Cost Consultations · No Attorney Fees Unless We Recover Money for You
All wrongful death cases are handled on a contingency basis. There is no risk to you.* Call us at 1-800-747-5819 or send us an e-mail to schedule a free consultation.
*Costs excluded, but may be advanced by the law firm until conclusion of the case.

Now Albarn and Del Rey have helped him perform the single 'Dayglo Reflection' on France's Le Grand Journal, and sat down for an interview together.
Have a look at the performance below from the 2-minute mark, and the interview (if you can make out the English answers under the French translation) from the 6-minute mark.

The BlackBerry Tablet? It Probably Isn't Close to Production
The BlackBerry BlackPad tablet probably will not be ready for sale anytime soon. BGR and Electronista are both reporting that they have sources telling them that this week's BlackBerry Developers Conference will not be showing off any actual BlackPad hardware. In fact, even the operating system—which will be mentioned at the conference—is far from complete. Regardless of what you want to call this coming tablet (BlackPad, Cobalt and SurfBook are all unofficial names for it right now), it looks like it won't be here in time for the holiday shopping season.
Rumors have claimed everything from the BlackPad having a multicore processor with Adobe Flash hardware acceleration to video calling features to an entirely new operating system. While it is true that Marvell—the maker of the processors in Research In Motion's (RIM) BlackBerry smartphones—has developed a three core chipset for tablets, RIM might not even be close yet to deciding on the processor. The video calling features are still debatable at this point, with the Wall Street Journal saying that the BlackPad will have either one or two cameras and that the number has not been decided yet by the company. Err… so what about the operating system? At least that part looks like it is true.
RIM bought QNX Software Systems earlier this year. From what is known right now (all unofficial of course), RIM and QNX are working now on porting over what makes the BlackBerry operating system good, into the new one that QNX is building. RIM cannot just slap a coat of BlackBerry OS 6 paint on top of what QNX has already developed—it has to implement BES, BIS, encryption, battery saving technologies and all of the other stuff under the surface that we take for granted. Then it can start working on getting the user interface "BlackBerry enough" to keep current users happy. Oh, and RIM still isn't sure yet if it will be switch all of its smartphones to the new operating system in the future.
Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope that this thing is further along than anyone seems to think right now. Will this thing ever really materialize or is RIM just messing around with the idea and has no clue where it is headed right now?rumor, RIM, BlackBerry BlackPad

Men Beat Woman After She Catches Them Robbing Her Home
November 16, 2012 10:29 AM
STICKNEY, Ill. (CBS) — Authorities are looking for the two men who attacked a woman who surprised them during a burglary.
Cook County Sheriff's Police say the woman walked into her garage on 51st Street in Stickney and found two men stealing things.
Police say one of the men grabbed her by the throat, punched her in the eyes and cut her clothing with a knife.
One of the suspects was described as African-American in his 30s, a gold front tooth and a partial tattoo with the letter "J" on the left side of his neck.
The other suspect is Hispanic and also in his 30s, but the descriptions of him are more general.

In this report by MOTUNRAYO JOEL, some educationists proffer ways to move the education sector forward this year
In the last few years, the country's budget allocation for the education sector has increased significantly.
For instance, the sector got N426.53bn out of N4.9tn in the 2013 national budget. Also in 2012, N400.15bn was allocated to the sector out of N4.7tn, and N306.3bn out of N4.6tn in 2011.
However, despite the increment, not much improvement has been recorded in the sector.
In 2012, based on the World Bank report of the annual budgetary allocation to education by some countries, Nigeria ranked last at 8.4 per cent and Ghana ranked highest at 31.0 per cent. The report showed that several smaller African countries were allocating more to their educational sectors than Nigeria, Africa's most populous country.
The minimum budgetary allocation for education recommended by UNESCO is 26 per cent.
Some stakeholders, who spoke with SUNDAY PUNCH, all shared the view that the nation's politicians would need to take university education seriously by adhering to the UNESCO's minimum budgetary allocation, or the country's universities will continue to remain as "glorified secondary schools."
"Other problems include depressed access to school, inadequacy in funding, poor reading culture and poor attitude of students to work, poor parental attitude and social vices notably examination malpractice. While we should attempt to mitigate the threats posed by all these challenges, there is need for a priority list since we cannot clear all the rot in one year," said the former Executive Secretary, National Universities Commissions, Prof. Peter Okebukola.
He also noted that a large percentage of the problems hindering the education sector from climbing to great heights cannot be addressed in one year. Citing some of the problems, he mentioned poor quality and inadequacy of facilities, poor quality and inadequate number of teachers and reduced relevance of the curriculum.
According to Okebukola, the quality of teachers is one of the major factors that determine the success and failure of any educational system.
He said, "Many teachers at the basic education level know less than their pupils in the content of what they teach. In 2013, competency tests administered on teachers in some states, showed very dismal performance. Teacher training institutions keep churning out teachers poorly prepared like half-boiled rice. Even some teacher trainers themselves are not any better than their trainees. Apart from the quality problem, insufficiency in the number of teachers is a complementary challenge. Hence, this year, the federal and state governments should focus on improving teacher quality and quantity. We need to rethink our teacher education delivery system and refocus funding on strengthening content knowledge and skills of teachers at all levels through pre-service and in-service training."
Besides improving the quality of teachers, Okebukola urged the government at all levels to also improve the facilities for learning in schools. As he put it, only a few public schools in the country presently meet international standards in terms of facilities for teaching and learning.
He said, "At the university level, the public universities are well positioned to make this happen on account of the huge injection of restoration grant into the system. We had N200bn in 2013 and we are expecting N220bn in 2014. These sums are enough to help bring back the shine into our universities. It is the expectation that in upgrading facilities and infrastructure with the N1.3tn, we will not have the poor quality and aesthetically unappealing buildings that dot the landscape of many of our universities.
"A quick tour of five of the best universities in the world in terms of quality of buildings and infrastructure and quality of academic programmes will be desirable for the Implementation Monitoring Committee. Assuming that the bug of forgetfulness does not bite them on return, we should be able to put up structures better than those seen in these top-rate universities so that the glory days of beauty of the Nigerian university system will be with us again."
In this regard, Nigeria could borrow a leaf from the US. According to the website, www.ed.gov, the President's budget request for education in 2014 stands at $71 billion (N440, 471,918bn) in discretionary funding, an increase of more than four per cent over the previous year. Its increase in its investment towards education is despite the fact that the US already boasts of some of the best universities in the world.
According to the website, "Nearly three-quarters of that funding goes to financial aid for students in college, special education, and aid to schools with high numbers of children in poverty. The remaining 28 per cent of the budget invests in specific areas that can move major change – particularly through making pre-school accessible for all students; funding a set of strategic reforms at the K-12 level; ensuring that college is affordable; and coordinating services that help students living in poverty."
For the Chairman, Academic Staff Union of Universities Chairman, Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) chapter, Prof. Adegbola Akinola, the nation, in 2013, suffered from the accumulation of the consequences stemming from decades of missteps; which the Federal Government failed to halt due to its refusal to heed the call of the union on the need to honour the 2009 agreement or the January 2012 Memoranda of Understanding.
Speaking on some mistakes made last year in respect of the university system, Akinola said, "The sector witnessed gross underfunding by the government, politicisation of the education sector, especially at the tertiary level, where the vice-chancellorship position was turned into a political office; such that VCs started to see themselves as civil servants and even ranked themselves as DGs or even politicians. This then had a ripple effect on other levels – units, departments, faculties – in the universities. Also, the NUC had been derelict in its supervisory role; visitation and accreditation exercise had been less that thorough. Process of license issuance to establish university sometime is a great suspect."
He also called on the government to implement UNESCO'S directive that 26 per cent of a country's annual budget should be devoted to education.
"UNESCO recommended this decades ago. The 2009 ASUU/FGN agreement had admonished that government gradually moves in that direction. Countries like USA, South Africa, and Canada devote almost 40 per cent. Also, ASUU had insisted in the 2009 agreement that there should be a 'Budget and Monitoring Committee' in each university, such that the committee will have the power to interrogate any issue. This should be enforced if the government is serious enough on accountability and transparency. Government should know that education sector is very sensitive and should therefore endeavour to excuse the education sector from the politicisation syndrome," he said.
Sharing his view, the vice-chancellor, Ondo State University of Science and Technology, Prof. Tolu Odugbemi, called for an end to corruption in the education sector and the implementation of good ideas and policies across the primary, secondary and tertiary levels of education.
"Education is a tool for development if properly handled from childhood to adulthood through all levels. The ideas and ways of nation building are known by many Nigerians. The implementation of noble ideas often fails, hence chaos in our societies. We should pay attention to the implementation of good ideas if they are to be useful for positive change in Nigeria. Character building must accompany any form of learning for products of such institutions to be relevant to society development. We must re-assure ourselves that we can rebuild our societies by refocusing our values on positive and virtuous traits," he explained.
The vice-chancellor, Ekiti State University, Prof. Oladipo Aina, also called for an improvement in funding and modernisation of infrastructure in institutions. According to him, universities on their part must explore new frontiers to increase their Internally Generated Revenues and diversify their funding base to become more financially viable without compromising the much cherished university traditions. "They should also increase the private sector partnerships across various initiatives because in today's economy, leveraging expertise and relationships are critical towards the success of any organisation, and educational institutions are not an exception," he noted.
A Professor in the Industrial Design Department, Federal University of Technology, Akure, Sunday Ogunduyile, called for a holistic change in educational policy.
He said, "We should put an end to politics with education and our curriculum must be made relevant to the needs of the Nigerian society, industry and commerce. Also, people from industry/commerce should have input into curriculum development. Activities of educational boards from primary school board to NUC must be reviewed and made relevant, in short, more discipline should be encouraged at all levels."
Prof. Poju Akinyanju of the Microbiology Department, University of Ilorin, called for the inspection and supervision of primary and secondary schools whose structures had been riddled with inefficiency and corruption.

I'm trying to figure out a way to get a list of the packages that are no longer available in the repositories that I have enabled. This workstation has been through quite a few versions of Ubuntu and has had many 3rd party repositories added and removed. I'd like to get a list of software that I have from these removed repositories, so I can clean it up or add back the appropriate repositories.

This question came from our site for system and network administrators.
Aptitude has some very powerful searching available. Unfortunately the syntax is a bit unwieldy and you have to dig past the manpage to find the documentation, but its worth it.
apt-show-versions can also be helpful:

Mornings dawn just the slightest bit later and we rise to lavender skies tinged with indigo instead of blinding yellow light. Leaves become tough and dry, their color turning tired and dull where they were once supple and smooth, limey and inviting. The chorus of birds quiets until just a few melodic phrases and fragments remain to remind us of earlier symphonic richness.
Only Carolina wrens and crows compete for the early morning cacophony award just as mockingbirds that have been up all night singing decide to take a little nap. The monotonous drone of insects fills late afternoons as the heavy heat of late summer settles around and in us.
At the beach the shorebirds have arrived. Bay beaches are busy with black-bellied plovers, semi-palmated plovers, least sandpipers, semi-palmated sandpipers and ruddy turnstones. Sanderlings are changing out of their summer rusts and browns to their familiar winter grays.
Many of the these visitors are temporary, stopping to refuel on their way farther south from northern nesting grounds. Marshes are filled with willets and yellowlegs. Keep watch for the occasional whimbrel, especially in the marshes off the bay. Egrets and herons are gathering, too. It is not unusual to see more than a dozen in any given spot. Check the marshes at Long Beach, Kalmus and Sandy Neck for these elegant birds.
The southside beaches still host a number of terns. Most terns are staging for migration in other areas of the Cape such as Monomoy, but there are still plenty to be seen here. Laughing gulls are still around even as the first ring-billed gulls of the season begin to arrive. Watch, too, for the occasional and hard-to-miss oystercatcher.
It is the time of thistle and goldfinches. Goldfinches are among the last songbirds to nest as they coordinate the fledging of their young with demise of the thistle flowers so there is plenty of seed to feed upon. Watch for families feeding together over the next few weeks in fields such as the Marstons Mills airfield and Bone Hill Farm.
Many bird families are still traveling together as young birds learn the tricks and trade of their particular species. Young ospreys are learning to fish even as young swallows are learning to catch tiny flying insects. Each has a challenge hard to imagine. It is no wonder young ospreys can be seen flying back and forth over the water as if to say, "You want me to what???" Young swallows sit on wires and posts, squeaking protests at passing parents with much the same sentiment, or so it seems.
Goldenrod is coming into bloom. Chicory and Queen Anne's Lace are among the last summer flowers to grace our fields and empty lots and although they are still holding on there are more baskets of Queen Anne's seeds than blooms these days.
It is a time of plenty in nature, a time when animals and birds are feasting and preparing. It is also a time to sit back and enjoy. Summer isn't over quite yet.

When Dorothy Sayers was in her mid-twenties, she wrote this short collection of poetry that stems from her brilliant craftsmanship and her Christian beliefs. Sayers is best known for her works of detective fiction, but her religious beliefs led her to write a great deal in response to schisms, fads, and heresies within the church. Her strong adherence to doctrine is reflected in her poetry, which is at times quaint and whimsical, at other times scholarly and intellectually rigorous, and still at other times beautiful and comforting. Give yourself the time to read, and re-read, these great poems, and to soak in the richness of Sayer's verses.

The MnOPT program at the University of Minnesota is dedicated to providing innovative interdisciplinary training for the next generation of biologic, behavioral, and clinical obesity prevention scientists.
The program offers training for up to four predoctoral fellows who may be accepted in one of several University of Minnesota PhD programs, as well as up to four postdoctoral fellows with MD, PhD, or equivalent degrees. The positions offer up to a 4-5 year appointment for predoctoral training or a 2-3 year appointment for postdoctoral training with a flexible start date, tuition benefits, a competitive stipend, and support for scientific meeting travel and other training experiences.
Trainees will engage in research that focuses on the biology of obesity, clinical research on human obesity, and applied studies of treatment and prevention in community settings. Central to the MnOPT mission is having a strong mentoring environment for trainees organized around three training tracks: basic sciences, clinical studies, and epidemiology/behavioral research. There will also be active efforts to facilitate transdisciplinary training between the three areas in order to broaden trainees' disciplinary horizons.
Trainees will receive interdisciplinary training through a required two-semester course sequence and regular seminars. They will participate actively in research. They will be mentored in communicating study findings in written publication formats and in oral presentations, grantsmanship, research ethics, and career development.
Training goals are accomplished by matching trainees with faculty mentors who guide trainees in the development of the technical expertise and skills they will need to be successful, independent researchers. There are 35 potential faculty mentors in the program.

Start form here: "Server Status: the specified client does not exist in the specified policy"
Make sure you have correct policy name mentioned in RMAN script.
ORA-19511: Error received from media manager layer
Above error can be cauesed by so many things like block size mismatch, misconfiguration of ORACLE policy or clients, bad medias, bad tape hardware etc... In your case resolving policy/script issue would resolve this error.
I agree with Kiran - start with the script.
See if policy and/or client name is hard-coded in the script.
Maybe policy name is specified in script, but not client name. In this case, the Client name in bp.conf (assuming this is Linux/Unix client) is sent to the master.
Compare client settings with policy config.
Best to ensure that the following logs exist for troubleshooting:
On master: bprd (restart NBU after creating folder)
On client: dbclient (with 777 permissions on Linux/Unix)

NEW YORK -- As a first foray into the world of automotive electrification, Subaru is treading as lightly as a deer in the forest.
Subaru announced today its first-ever gas-electric hybrid, a version of its stylish Impreza-based XV Crosstrek crossover SUV that's been in showrooms since August and becomes a solid sales performer.
There isn't much of a jolt to performance or mileage. The small electric motor contributes about 13 horsepower to the Boxer engine-based powertrain and bumps up the mileage ratings to 28 mile per gallon in the city, 34 on the highway and 31 in city/highway mix vs. ...

Bristol Palin's College Sex Talk Cancelled Due to Student Opposition
The University Student Health Advisory Committee proposed the appearance as part of Student Sexual Responsibility Week and approved of spending $20,000 to sponsor the panel which would feature the 'Dancing with the Stars' alum.
But "because of the growing controversy among undergraduates over the decision to pay for the talk with student-generated funds" the committee decided it was best to cancel the abstinence advocate's appearance.
Bristol became pregnant at 17, and at 20, is now a single mom to her 2-year-old son Tripp. She's "thrilled" with her new life in Arizona, and even has a new boyfriend. Although she wasn't an abstinence practitioner during her own teenage years, she's now an outspoken advocate for waiting until marriage to have sex.
Check out Bristol's teen pregnancy prevention PSA with 'The Situation' after the break.

The article doesn't say whether ANY of the speakers were to be paid, or just Bristol? That would be important toward making the decision to leave her out.

- Sunday 30 JanuaryBy Rhea
RIGHT! As if we haven't been subjected to enough stupidity from Sarah Palin! Now we have to listen to her spawn telling us about something that she didn't even practice. Because she should know better than anybody that telling young people to abstain from sex is SOOO effective in convincing them from doing it. And I guess you guys believe she's not having sex with her new boyfriend. If you do, I have a bridge over in Alaska I want to sell you.

This was poorly planned from the get-go. First, who would schedule this poor girl at Washington University and expect a civil audience...Please its Washington. Also for Palin to give a celibacy speech to college students is like pissssing into a tsunami.

Ummmm....Wash U is in St. Louis...as in Missouri. She's an advocate now for waiting until marriage to have sex. She's using her experience from her mistake to try to talk teens into waiting and not making the same mistake she did. There's nothing wrong with that.

Filled with advice, exercises, quizzes, and games, Marriage Boot Camp will teach couples to fight the Top Ten Marriage Killers by:
*Keeping the heat in the bedroom
*Arguing effectively instead of fighting dirty
*Managing money
*Creating—or rebuilding—trust
*And much more!
Through each time-tested exercise, couples will discover what matters to them as individuals and as part of a pair, and learn why marriage is not 50/50 but 100/100 at all times. With the right skills, any couple can create the marriage theyve always dreamed of.

Obama Reframes His Frugal Spending Claim
There you go again.
May 31, 2012 - 12:07 am
Last Wednesday in Denver, President Barack Obama, barely 36 hours after Rex Nutting's rubbish about his administration's spending performance hit the tubes, mangled what the MarketWatch global commentary editor had written: "My opponent won't admit it, but it's been starting to appear in places — real liberal outlets like the Wall Street Journal — (laughter) — since I've been president, federal spending has risen at the lowest pace in nearly 60 years."
"Since I've been president"? I should note that MarketWatch, like the Wall Street Journal, is part of the Dow Jones & Company consumer media group component of Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation empire. They are hardly one and the same, as Obama's laugh line assumed. It should surprise no one, given the obvious lack of analytical rigor, to learn that MarketWatch's lineage and Nutting's tenure go back to when it was operated in partnership with CBS News. If Mitt Romney had made a similar mistake, we'd still be hearing about it.
The next day in Iowa, Obama rephrased his misstatement: "But what my opponent didn't tell you was that federal spending since I took office has risen at the slowest pace of any president in almost 60 years."
"Since I took office?"
That evening in Redwood City, California, Obama completed what he and his advisers must have seen as the oratorical equivalent of a hat trick, telling his audience: "[S]ince I've been president, federal spending has actually risen at the lowest pace in nearly 60 years. It usually takes a Democrat to fix these problems after they have run up the tab."
"Since I've been president"? As Ronald Reagan would surely have said if he were there: "There you go again."
Liberal and leftist pundits and apparatchiks have, while capitalizing on Nutting's work, "somehow" missed Obama's total recast. On Monday, in perhaps the most egregious example appearing three full days and change after Obama's third "since I've been in charge" equivalent, Eugene Robinson at the Washington Post ignored them all while claiming that Romney is the one who has a problem with the truth. That funny, because Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler gave Nutting's narrative and White House spokesmouth Jay Carney's use of it on the morning of May 23 — hours before Obama began maiming it beyond recognition — three Pinocchios.
Maybe it was due to haste to get away for the Memorial Day weekend, but the editorialists at two usual reliables, Investor's Business Daily and the Journal, failed to grasp the significance of Obama's utterances. Both beat up on Nutting over his laughable assignment of so much of Obama's fiscal 2009 excess to George W. Bush, hit hard at how spending as a percentage of the nation's economic output has reached a post-World War II high, and noted how Obama has wanted and still wants the government to spend far more than it currently is.
But both publications missed the obvious: By going to his "since I've been in charge" schtick, Barack Obama has taken ridiculousaurus Rex's nuttiness off the table. While the MarketWatch writer twisted himself like a world-class female gymnast in pushing as much of the blame for spending as he possibly could onto Bush 43 — even acting as if the Texan's ghost was haunting the White House over eight months after he physically left the place — Obama on the three separate occasions identified above took responsibility for everything that has happened since he was inaugurated on January 20, 2009.
That makes things so much easier. Now we can present Obama's spending record in terms anyone can understand, with only one set of self-inflicted, self-incriminating adjustments required.
Referencing the government's Monthly Treasury Statements and Office of Management and Budget documents while ignoring months which haven't happened yet (as we should, and which both Nutting and Obama haven't), we see that average monthly spending during the Obama administration's first 39 full months in office has been 27% higher than it was during George W. Bush's second term:
